Carly and Patrick talk about the wedding and how it will impact Carly's friendship with Jason. Spinelli finds Sam's engagement ring, then Maxie loses it again. Dante and Lucky wonder who is the leader of the hospital drug ring. Johnny warns Anthony to stay out of the Zacchara business. Skye is about to leave on the Quartermaine jet when Luke drops by.

Kate: Seems to happen a lot. You, me, an Italian restaurant. All that's missing is the fortune teller. Sonny: It's been a long time. Kate: Yes, it has. Sonny: What the hell was that for? Kate: That was for Jax. [SCENE_BREAK] Joey: You're gonna pay! Get back here! [Grunting] Elizabeth: [Screams] Go! Hurry! Go, go, go! Go, go! Go! Darryl: Going somewhere? Find the other. I'll deal with this. Elizabeth: Get your hands off of me. Darryl: Stop screaming or this is gonna get real ugly. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Uh, this is Sam's. Or it could have been if she had picked it. Dante: It's nice. It's really nice. Maybe just 'cause it was in front of you. Lulu: What are you doing here? Dante: My mother called me and told me to swing by. Lulu: Well, it's just me. Dante: Yeah, I think that was the point. Lulu: I'm sorry. Dante: I'm not. [SCENE_BREAK] Anthony: So, I got a respectable woman to impress and it's your job to help me do that. Get it? All right, let's go over it one more time. From here on out, you're a ghost. You appear when summoned, you work your magic, and, poof, you disappear just as quick. You got it? I paid good money to rent this place out. Don't disappoint me. I see spots. Would you use this to cut something? Fix it. [Cell phone rings] What? Darryl: We got a problem. Anthony: You've been saying that a lot lately. Darryl: Girls tried to make a break for it. Joey's taking care of the blonde right now. What do you want me to do with this nurse? Anthony: You created this mess, make it go away. For good. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Aah! Joey: Ah! Stop! [Footsteps] Spinelli: Hold on, Maximista. Joey: [Grunting] You're a quick little thing, aren't you? But not quick enough. You and your friend really stepped in it this time. Maxie: I hope you're not talking about Elizabeth. She's hardly my friend. Joey: Then I guess you won't miss her when she disappears. Do you think anybody's gonna miss you? [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: Oh, Pop, you shouldn't have. I just ate. Anthony: How did you get in here? Johnny: I walked. Anthony: If that maître d' had half a brain, he'd be a quarter wit. No interruptions means no interruptions. Johnny: We got to talk. Anthony: Can't you see I'm in the middle of something? Johnny: Ok, fine. You want to sit here and play tea party, I can go out there and clean up your messes. Anthony: I told you everything is under control. Johnny: Not from where I'm standing. Anthony: Don't meddle in other people's business, John. It's not polite. Johnny: You made it my business when you brought cops to my door. Anthony: Cop, singular. Don't be so dramatic. Besides, it will all be over tonight. Johnny: You bet your ass it will. Anthony: Right on time. Isn't she a sight. Johnny: That's one way of putting it. What the hell are you up to? Anthony: Run along, John. Three's a crowd. Tracy: Mr. Zacchara and son. Johnny: I'm not even gonna ask. Have fun doing whatever it is you're doing. Anthony: A vision. Tracy: First rules. No flattery. Anthony: A woman who lays down the law. Tracy: Second rule, make it quick. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: What is that? Darryl: Same stuff that killed that nosy Irish bitch. Elizabeth: Siobhan? Darryl: It'll be over before you know it. Elizabeth: Please. Please, no. Please don't. [Muttering] Darryl: Shh. Shh. Uhh! Elizabeth: Please, no! [Darryl groaning] [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: No! What are you, some kind of animal? Joey: You're about to find out. Maxie: Help! Ow! Spinelli: It is at this most critical juncture that I must ask myself what Jackal, PI, not just I, do. Joey: Shame to waste such a beautiful neck. Maxie: No. No. No. Spinelli: Drop the blade and grab some air, hophead. Maxie: You found me. Joey: What did you say? Spinelli: Don't be a bunny. Let her go. Joey: Is this freak show with you? Maxie: Don't call him that. Spinelli, please get out of here right now. Spinelli: Dames, always getting themselves in some kind of jam. It's a good thing I'm here to get you out. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: He left, didn't he? I knew it. Why didn't you stop him? Patrick: Stop who? Carly: Jason. He's not in his room. Patrick: I think he's scheduled for follow-up tests. Carly: He's also scheduled for a wedding. How do you know he didn't walk out of here when no one was looking? Patrick: 'Cause he's recovering from brain surgery. It would be crazy to leave without a doctor's consent. Carly: He's done it before. When was the last time you've seen him? Patrick: Carly, I have other heads to cut into, so if you don't want to wait, you're more than welcome to leave a note. Carly: Oh, be honest. You have no idea where he is, do you? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Really? All in the name of candy boy? Kate: Don't tell me you're surprised. Sonny: A little bit, yeah. Kate: Why is that? Sonny: Well, because, you know, I haven't seen you in, what, months? And you show up here. You don't know what went down with me and Jax. Kate: I'm more in the loop than you might imagine. Sonny: Enlighten me, Kate. Kate: Jax was only trying to protect his daughter. Sonny: You're misinformed already because you're saying protect when what he did was kidnap her. He came in, he took Carly's daughter. Kate: So that gives you carte blanche to sabotage his plane? Are you even hearing yourself? Sonny: I had nothing to do with that plane going down. Kate: Don't, Sonny. Not with me. Somebody hurts you, you hurt back. Whether it's Eddie Esposito taking Olivia to the dance or Tommy Pallone playing a song on the radio that you didn't like. Or how about Rocco Bueti spraying graffiti on your sidewalk. Sonny: That last one I was only trying to, you know, take care of the neighborhood. Kate: Or Brenda walking out on you. Somebody always has to pay, Sonny. Even if it's the wrong person. Sonny: Ok. That little girl belonged to her mother. Period. Kate: This has nothing to do with Josslyn. You went after Jax because of Brenda, because he warned her that she couldn't be safe with you. Sonny: He did a hell of a lot more than that, Kate. Kate: Wake up, Sonny. Jax did not force Brenda to walk out on you. She did that on her own. But who cares, right? The custody battle gave you an opening, you didn't even hesitate. Sonny: Contrary to popular belief, Jasper Jacks is not a saint. Kate: I think you mean was. And you're absolutely right, he wasn't a saint. He was a father that loved his daughter, who wanted more for her than a life dodging bullets. Sonny: So what, now he's a hero? Is that what you're gonna put on that jackasses' obituary? Kate: What will be put on yours? Sonny: Is that what you came all the way across town to talk to me about, my obituary? Kate: No. I imagine a lot of people already have a rough draft of that in their drawer. Sonny: You want to drink something? Glass of red wine? Kate: Do I look like I would like a glass of wine? Sonny: You look great, but you sound angry. Kate: How condescending are you? Sonny: Well, look, we haven't seen each other in, what, months, whatever it is, and you slap me in the face and you start throwing blame around. Kate: No, I'm not blaming you. Not for all of it, anyway. Sonny: That's generous. Kate: Your trashy bitch of an ex-wife should take some of it, though. Sonny: Oh, that's Connie coming out there, isn't it? Kate: Well, that's true to form, defending Carly. Sonny: Well, she's the mother of-- Kate: Yeah, the mother of your boys. I committed it to memory, just like all of the attitudes. Sonny: I'm not gonna turn my back on her. Kate: Well, I understand she's turned hers on you. Sonny: Carly will come around. You know, she always does. Kate: Like every woman who's had your child. God, Sonny. You must be something special. Sonny: You didn't stick around long enough to find out. Kate: I'm so sorry to cut our love story short. Being shot on your wedding day can do that. Sonny: It didn't have to end like that. Kate: It almost ended my life. I didn't want to die. I didn't want to sit back and watch you die, either. Sonny: I'm still standing. Kate: For how long? Sonny: A lot of people tried to come after me over the years, no one's been able to bring me down. Kate: It's not people I'm worried about, Sonny. 'Cause let's face it, you're your own worst enemy. [SCENE_BREAK] Anthony: Water? I opted for still, but if you'd rather have sparkling-- Tracy: I'm not feeling sparkly. Anthony: Oh, you could light up the darkest of nights. I hope you like bubbles. Tracy: I like alcohol. What's that? Anthony: Well, what does it look like? A token of my esteem. Tracy: I don't want it. Anthony: Oh, please. I picked it out special. Tracy: A prom corsage? Anthony: Orchidaceae custodis, "the secret keeper." I couldn't help but be reminded of you. Tracy: Cut the crap. Anthony: Such hostility. Tracy: Look, why don't we get down to why I'm really here? You have implied that you have something on me that relates to my departed ex-husband Gino Soleito. Anthony: I'm just pointing out a case of coincidental timing. Gino's demise and his fortune took a big dip while your family company--straight to the top. Tracy: If you have something to say, spit it out. Anthony: Oh, what's the rush? The evening's young. Sit back. Relax. Let's enjoy each other's company. Tracy: Ah, well. Clearly, I have to remind you that I'm a married woman. Anthony: To a very worthy man, I might add. I see a lot of myself in Luke Spencer. Tracy: Really? You're nothing like Luke. Anthony: Sure I am. We both appreciate a beautiful woman. We both go after what we want. Tracy: Luke is brilliant. Anthony: I had a 4.0. Tracy: [Laughs] In penitentiary high? Anthony: You see? There's still so much to learn about each other. Tracy: You're going to learn that my husband doesn't like it if people blackmail me. He considers that his personal perk. Anthony: All right. I'll hand it to the guy. Luke's a lot of wonderful things, but you failed to mention the most important one--he's gone. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Kind of surprised to see you here after, you know, you quitting and everything. Lulu: Yeah. You and me both. Maxie's supposed to be taking care of Sam's wedding, but apparently, she's disappeared. Typical. Dante: She's--she's actually missing. Lulu: What do you mean, missing? Dante: Yeah. She may have been abducted. It's in connection with the drug ring your brother was working on. Lulu: Do you have any leads? Dante: A couple, but that's really all I can tell you. Lulu: Well, I'm not sure I want to know more. Dante: You ok? Lulu: Well, I have one question, and then I'm done with the questions--should I be worried? Dante: We're going to do everything we can to make sure no one gets hurt. Lulu: Sometimes, doing all you can is not enough. Dante: Sometimes isn't all the time. Lulu: Well, I appreciate you telling me about this. I know it's hard for you to talk about work. Dante: No, it's easy compared to the possibility of losing you. [SCENE_BREAK] [Crashes] [Dog barking] [Lucky grunts] [SCENE_BREAK] Joey: Do yourself a favor--get lost. Spinelli: Not without the dame. So toss the shiv and climb your thumb, pally. Joey: Is this guy for real? Maxie: Spinelli, please, you're not equipped for this. Spinelli: Jackal, PI's equipped for anything, sugar pants. You should know that by now. Maxie: What are you doing? Spinelli: Let her go, or I drill. Next stop, Chicago overcoat. [Maxie grunts] Joey: Go. Go for it. [Laughs] This is classic. Maxie: Oh, my God! Joey: You're dead. Spinelli: Run! [Spinelli and Joey grunting] Maxie: Spinelli! Joey: Oh! Oh! Get away from me! Maxie: Aah! Spinelli: Run! Joey: One down. One to go. [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Great. Thank you, Gwen. Let me know when you're finished. Thanks. Carly: He's ok? Patrick: He's flat on his back in the middle of an MRI. Carly: Thank God. Patrick: He's not having fun, but he's under medical lock and key. Feel better? Carly: No. Are the test results good? Was there any problem from the surgery? Patrick: That information is for patient and family only. Carly: You know Jason considers me family. Patrick: You consider yourself family. Carly: Sam's not family. Patrick: Sam is his fiancée. I'm obligated to put up with her. You, not so much. Carly: I don't want Jason pushing himself so Sam can pull him down the aisle. Patrick: Easy, Carly. You sound like an ex-jilted lover. Carly: No. If Jason's not able to leave the hospital, then he's not able to get married on the 23rd. I mean, what if he has a seizure in the middle of his vows? Patrick: That's his choice. Those are his vows. Carly: He's my friend. Patrick: Ok. I understand that you're going through a lot right now, and on top of that, you're worried about Jason. You want him to hold on so you have something to hold onto. Carly: Is that a bad thing? Patrick: No, it's a Carly thing. If Jason wants to get married, we can't stop him. Carly: But should he? I mean, should he right now? Can you honestly tell me that Jason won't have a relapse by showing up at the ceremony? [SCENE_BREAK] Tracy: I did not come here to discuss my husband. Anthony: You're the one who played the married woman card. Tracy: Ok. I'm putting it back in the deck. Anthony: Are you cheating so soon? We've only just begun. Tracy: We were over at hello. Anthony: So, now that I've thought about it, Luke and I aren't all that alike after all. Tracy: [Laughs] The first rational thing to come out of your mouth. Anthony: Like a fool, he rejected your help when you offered. I, on the other hand, would have gladly accepted. And what kind of world would it be if we didn't go out on a limb for each other? [Music playing] You extended your hand to Luke. He didn't take it. Don't make the same mistake. Tracy: Oh, no. You're not suggesting-- Anthony: May I have this dance? Tracy: One dance, and then we finish our conversation. Anthony: Oh, warm and dry--just like I imagined. Tracy: Keep your imaginings to yourself. [Soft jazz music playing] [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Can't believe Sam and Jason are actually getting married. Dante: Why not? Lulu: 'Cause they've been together so long. I don't know. Can't get more committed than that. Dante: Yeah. Putting it in writing, saying vows, makes it harder to walk away when things get tough. Lulu: People walk away from marriage all the time. Dante: Maybe they're not trying hard enough. Lulu: Maybe they're trying too hard. It's a lot to live up to--"till death do us part, better or worse." I don't know. It's a lot of pressure. Dante: It's the meaning behind it that counts. You don't just give up on life when it gets messy. Are you kidding me? Miss out on the best thing that ever happened to you? I love you. Lulu: I love you. [Cell phone rings] [Ring] Dante: Work. Lulu: Answer it. Dante: Yeah. Falconeri. Ok. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be right there. Mac wants all hands on deck. Lulu: Ok. Well, find Maxie and tell her to get her butt into work. Dante: Yeah. I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Look, everything's going to be ok. Everyone's going to be fine. And I'll call you as soon as I hear anything. Lulu: Thanks. Dante: We're going to be ok, too. I promise. Lulu: Go. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Why would you do that? Spinelli wouldn't have hurt a fly. Joey: Couldn't is more like it. Maxie: You think that makes you better than him? You're just some stupid thug who wears clothes-- Spinelli: Hey! Joey: Ohh. [Grunts] Spinelli: Maximista. Maxie: What were you thinking? You could have gotten--what did you just call me? Spinelli: Maximista. Maxie: Oh, my God. You're back. [Crying] [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: No! Let go of me! No! Let go of me! Please! Somebody help me! Lucky: Elizabeth, get down! [Elizabeth screams] [SCENE_BREAK] Patrick: Assuming Jason's latest test results come back clean, he could be released as early as tomorrow. Carly: What about pushing himself too hard? Patrick: I'll give him guidelines for his recovery. Carly: Guidelines? He doesn't listen to guidelines. You know Jason doesn't care about risks. Patrick: And that's why you love him, isn't it, Carly--as a friend, of course. Well, as a recovering risk-taker, I can understand that attraction. Carly: We're not talking about you. Patrick: No, we're not. We're talking about you and your fears. So why don't you tell me what's going on? Carly: Jason could have woke up different. Patrick: He didn't. Carly: But can you guarantee me it's never going to happen, that he's never going to wake up different, like he did before? Patrick: What if he did, Carly? What if Jason woke up with different priorities, different loyalties? Is that something you'd want, or something you're afraid of? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: So, what you're saying is you're happy to see me? Kate: Oh. Don't let it go to your head. Sonny: No. No, it's just nice that you care, 'cause, you know, seeing me brought that all back. Kate: No, no, no. Seeing you did not bring that back. Olivia came to my office, and you know how she gets all crass and scrappy, ordering me around like she's my boss. Sonny: Well, it's effective. Kate: Yeah. It's annoying. But she had a point. Sonny, you've made some bad decisions. Make that God-awful, "what were you thinking" decisions. Sonny: Can we not get into that right now? Kate: I know why. I have known you for more years than I care to count, and deep down, you are still that wounded boy from Bensonhurst struggling like crazy to hide your bruises. I wanted so badly to protect that boy that you were. And after all these years, look at you. You still need protecting. Sonny: You can apply for the job, you know. Kate: No. No, I can't. I can't save you now, no more than I could then. Sonny: Well, if you're not going to do it, who's going to do it? Kate: You. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Ohh. Lucky: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Elizabeth. Come here. Come here. Are you ok? Come here. Are you ok? Are you all right? Oh, my God. Ok. [SCENE_BREAK] Spinelli: So, um, all's in place? Maxie: All is in place. Spinelli: I can breathe a sigh of relief. Maxie: How do you think I feel? Do you have any idea how much I missed [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Are you sure you're ok? Elizabeth: Yeah. Lucky: You didn't hurt yourself when you fell? Elizabeth: No. I'm ok. Lucky: I saw him grab you. Elizabeth: Don't. Just don't talk. Dante. Dante: Where's Maxie? Elizabeth: I don't know. Lucky: I haven't seen her. Dante: You guys were together, right? Elizabeth: But she left before me, and then, some guy took off after her. Dante: Any idea where they went? Elizabeth: No. [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Wait, wait. This--this is you, Spinelli, for real, right? I mean, when, how-- Spinelli: I owe it all to you. Maxie: You do? Spinelli: Yeah. Your insights to bring me to Stone Cold, and-- Maxie: So it was Jason that brought you back. Spinelli: No, no. I was greatly concerned about you and the maternal one and-- Maxie: Forget about Elizabeth. [Silenced gunshot] [Joey grunts] Maxie: Who just did that? Spinelli: Well, it wasn't me. [SCENE_BREAK] [Soft jazz music playing] Anthony: That didn't hurt, now, did it? Tracy: I have a high pain threshold. What are you doing? Anthony: Here. Oh. Allow me. Ahh. Exquisite. [Cell phone rings] Anthony: Ohh. Would you mind if I took this? Tracy: Actually, I'd be thrilled. Anthony: This had better be important. Johnny: You sound stressed. Hot date not going so well? Anthony: What do you want? Johnny: I disposed of the garbage you collected. From now on, I'm running this ship. Anthony: Is that a fact? Johnny: Reality. Get used to it. Anthony: My apologies for the interruption. Hey! [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: The guy Lucky shot is the one who was taking drugs from the hospital. Dante: The guy you followed. Elizabeth: He locked me in a closet and then tried to suffocate me with something. Dante: What kind of something? Elizabeth: I don't know, but it was the same stuff that killed Siobhan. Lucky: He's the one that murdered her. Elizabeth: Well, it was either him, or he knew who did it. Dante: So what happened to the other guy? The guy who went after Maxie? Elizabeth: His name is Joey. That's all I know. Lucky: Joey Bruzetta. He's the one that shot me up. Dante: Can I talk to you for a minute? Lucky: Yeah. Sure. What's up? Dante: How you doing? Lucky: I'm ok. Dante: Yeah? Lucky: Everything worked out. When I fired that gun, I could have easily shot Elizabeth. Dante: But you didn't. Lucky: I should have called for backup. Dante: No, there was no time. You did what you had to do, and there's no one Elizabeth trusts more with her life than you. Lucky: We're going to figure out whoever's behind this. And when we do, I'm going to nail his ass to the wall. [SCENE_BREAK] Anthony: Huh. Someone's thirsty. That was Johnny on the phone. Kids. Can't live with 'em. Can't shoot 'em. Ok. Back to our program. Tracy: We don't have a program. What do you want? Anthony: I'll start with an evening of passion. Tracy: Ohh. Over my dead body. Anthony: No. That can wait until after the honeymoon. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Grandfather, I can't thank you enough for letting me use the jet, especially since I can't tell you were I'm going. I'm just glad that I was able to earn that trust. You take care of yourself, ok? I'll be in touch soon. Well, well, well. Luke: Good evening, Blaze. Skye: We have to stop meeting like this. Luke: We will. Skye: So, what are you doing here? Luke: I made a cursory check on certain relevant persons, as you suggested. Skye: Really, and...? Luke: And, life's a bitch. Then you die. Skye: Still, I'm sure your family was thrilled to see you. Luke: No, they didn't see me. But I saw them. Ethan is recovering from being beaten up and feels fine about it. Lulu's trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together that don't fit, and Lucky...well, Lucky's a tough one to figure out. Skye: And Tracy? Luke: Oh, she's fine. Just fine. Skye: Well, then I guess you picked the perfect time to come home, didn't you? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: You're wasting your breath and you're wasting my time, 'cause I'm not going to be saved or, you know... Kate: It's all right. Sonny: Yeah, I'm fine. Kate: You're fine? Yeah, I can see that. You know what else I see? Sonny: Huh? Kate: A man running like hell from his past. It's impossible, Sonny. Sooner or later, the past will catch up with you. Sonny: Not if you don't give it any power, it won't. Kate: [Chuckles] It will always have the power unless you go back and stare it in the face. It will always be the one in control. Deke: So you don't like the way I treat your mother? Well, she's my wife, she'll earn respect, like you. Now, time to learn a little respect. You know better than to raise your hands to me, boy. Don't you ever talk to me that way again. You got a lesson coming, Sonny boy. You little bastard. Sonny: You learn how to swim yet? Kate: What? Sonny: Have you? Kate: No. What does that have to do with anything? Sonny: Well, it just seems a little hypocritical, you coming to me to lecture me about running from my past when you ran from yours so fast that you left skid marks. Kate: That was different. Sonny: Well, you wanted a different life, right? You changed your name and all that kind of stuff. And why is that not running? Kate: Yes, Sonny, I ran, fast and furious. Because I wanted a better life for myself. Sonny: So did I, Kate. Kate: No, you went from being bullied to being the bully. What a triumph. Sonny: I'm not going to explain myself. Kate: You don't have to. But your children deserve more. Sonny: My children...I'm doing everything I can with my kids. Kate: That's garbage. You are barely hanging on. And when you finally lose your grip, and you will, you are going to do irreparable damage to your kids. And then you will be no better than Deke. [SCENE_BREAK] PA: Dr. Hunter, call Neurology. Dr. Matt Hunter-- Carly: I lived in Port Charles for more than a year before I realized that the Jason Morgan I knew and the Jason Quartermaine was the same person. Patrick: I'm sure that was a shock. Carly: Oh, yeah. I mean, the Quartermaines always talked about their lost son with such regret. And I just couldn't connect that to Jason Morgan. I mean, that guy rode motorcycles way too fast, always took crazy risks, never tell a lie, and always took care of me when he knew I was wrong. Especially when he knew I was wrong. Patrick: Hmm. You should tell that story to your next lover. Let him know he doesn't have a prayer. Carly: Have you ever had a friend that would just...risk their life for you? Patrick: Yes. I have a friend like that. I'm married to her. Carly: Hmm. I'm going to smile and bite my tongue. Patrick: As you should. Carly: [Laughs] I just don't want to lose Jason. Not my Jason. I don't want to lose him the way the Quartermaines lost him. Patrick: Carly, what if Jason did change like that? What if he wasn't willing to kill and lie for you anymore? What if he didn't want this life? Carly: Well, what if Robin changed like that? What if, for some reason, one day Robin wakes up and she doesn't want you in her life anymore? Patrick: Well, then I'd have to let her go. It would kill me, but if I knew that she was going to be happier, I'd have to let her go. Could you do that? [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: I'm done with this conversation. Kate: So what, I'm dismissed? Sonny: No, it's up to you. You can stay, you can go. It doesn't matter how I got here. Who cares? Kate: You say that like it's set in stone. We are human beings, capable of making choices, of making changes. Sonny: Maybe I don't want to change. Maybe I'm fine the way things are. Kate: Wow. Guess I was wrong about you. I guess I don't know you as well as I thought. [Cell phone rings] Sonny: Yeah? Ok. I'll be right there. I've got to get to the hospital. Kate: Is someone hurt? Sonny: Kristina, she's having surgery. Kate: What kind of surgery? Sonny: Spinal. Kate: My God, is she going to be all right? Sonny: That's what I'm going to find out. Kate: Well, send her my best, please. Sonny: Yeah, I will. You know, the injury. You know when it happened? Kate: No. Sonny: When Johnny Zacchara's car exploded. Everybody thinks it's my fault. And they would be right. [Door opens and closes] [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Is he dead? Spinelli: Uh, I'm not sure. I could check. Maxie: No, no! You're not going anywhere near him. Spinelli: You fear I couldn't hold my own? Maxie: No, I fear that I will start screaming at the top of my lungs and never stop. Just don't leave me, ok? Spinelli: Whatever you say. Maxie: He was trying to kill me, and then he was trying to kill you. And the worst part is, I broke my other shoe. Spinelli: The worst part? Surely you're exaggerating. Maxie: Ok, maybe that's not the worst part. But I know what the best part is. You're back. My ace of cyberspace. What was up with all that Jackal, PI stuff still? Sugar pants, Chicago overcoat, I don't know what that is. Spinelli: I borrowed a little bit from my alter ego. I had to summon his courage. Maxie: Not him, Spinelli. You. You're the brave one. And no offense, but Jackal, PI Is kind of a tool. Spinelli: No offense taken. Thank you. Maxie: You have no idea what I went through to bring you back. And if I ever have to end up in a sewer again... Spinelli: The sewer...Fair Samantha's engagement ring. [Chuckles] Maxie: You found it! [Splash] Spinelli: Huh. [SCENE_BREAK] Officer: Just got a call. A gunshot fired down on Water Street. Elizabeth: Maxie. Dante: Ah. Is your unit out on it already? Officer: Yes, they are. Dante: Thanks. Lucky: Hey, let me handle this. I need you to admit this as evidence. If there's anyone left, we'll have to prosecute. Hey. You ok with that? Elizabeth: Yeah. Lucky: You're going to be all right? Elizabeth: Yeah. Lucky: Ok. Dante: You feel up to making a statement? Elizabeth: Lucky saved my life. Now he has to save his own. [SCENE_BREAK] Skye: Here. Luke: What am I supposed to do with this? Skye: Drink it, if you're thirsty. That's all I'm offering. So, coming back here. It was a lot more than you bargained for, wasn't it? Luke: I'm through bargaining. It seems like I always end up short-changed. What? Skye: You know exactly what. Now you're planning to stay here and deal with this mess? Or am I your ride out of town?
