Jason went to see Ric about Sonny, but Ric knew nothing. Jason got a picture of Sonny all tied up and went after him. He found the place in the picture, and the Alcazar look alike was there and told Jason it was time for them to negotiate. Carly had Faith brought to the penthouse and asked her about Sonny, and then sent her away. Courtney came in the penthouse with Brenda's address and told Carly she was going to see what Brenda might now. Michael talked to Carly who bent over in pain, holding her stomach. Cameron defended Dobson to Ned and Skye. Zander showed up and announced that Cameron and Dobson were gay together. Skye tried to fire Dobson, but Ned said no. Zander tried to talk to Emily at the hospital, and she brushed him off and almost fainted. Nik offered to let her stay at Wyndemere, and she agreed. Luke snuck out of the hospital after he was brought their by Lucky and Summer. He went to first Stefan's and then to Lucky's room where he thought Summer was Laura. He was crying because he was happy she was there and better. Summer tried to explain she wasn't Laura but he cried to her, so she went along with him. Luke kissed her.
[PREVIOUSLY_ON] Lucky: I just want to protect her from you and -- Luke: Where's my wife? Summer: Hey! No, no -- Nikolas: Just accept that Emily and I are in love. Skye: You're a spy for Alexis. Ned: I want to confront both of you at the same time. Sonny: Did Alcazar work alone or with a partner? Ric: Alone. Jason: Sonny hasn't shown up at the jet, and he's not picking up his cell phone. Man: What's the matter, Mr. Corinthos? Seeing ghosts? [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Tony, how bad is it? Tony: Well, he's got a severe head injury. We've got him on medication right now, and we're going to monitor him closely to gauge the extent of his injuries. Lucky, you never told me how he got hurt. Summer: You guys, he's waking up. [Luke moans] Tony: Luke, Luke, just lie back. Try to take it easy. You're hurt. You're on medication. You're likely going to feel disoriented, so it's essential you try not to move. Luke: At all? Tony: I want you here in this bed at least until tomorrow. Luke: Are you working with them, Tony? Are you giving them 24 more hours before I can rescue my wife from her loving sons? [SCENE_BREAK] Nikolas: You wanted the truth, there it is. I love Emily. I suppose I always have. At first as a surrogate little sister kind of thing, but now it's much more. There you go. Zander: Yeah, I'm not buying this. Nikolas: Well, that's not -- Stefan: Nikolas -- if you'll excuse us. Nikolas, you and I have some important family business to discuss. Nikolas: No, this can't wait. You need to stop hounding Emily and interrogating her -- Zander: Ok, maybe your uncle takes your orders, but I sure don't. If you've been in love with Emily for so long, then what was the deal with Gia? Nikolas: Gia broke off our engagement, and now I see that was for the best. I didn't really realize it, but I've just been waiting for Emily to grow up and now she has. Zander: Yeah, I'm not buying this. Are you buying any of this? Emily: Ok, look, I am not going to discuss my personal problems in front of Stefan and everyone else in this hospital. And if you really cared about me, then you -- you would stop pushing me -- Zander: Oh! Emily! Nikolas: Come on, I got you. It's ok. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Hey. Where did you come from? Ric: Oh, I was in the back. I was trying to decide whether to put in a pool or not. Elizabeth: Oh, slow down. We're barely moved in. Ric: Yeah. It's all right. We'll just put your works up on the walls, and we'll have the most gorgeous interior in town. Elizabeth: Oh, well, sorry, every piece is spoken for thanks to the one-woman show you got me. What's the matter? Ric: No, it's just hot outside, humid. When I was locked up in South America, the air would stick to you, you know? It was so thick and heavy. Couldn't get away from it. Freedom meant the impossible, you know, diving into a cold, dark pool, midnight swim. I swore that if I ever got out of that cell, I was going to build a pool and I'd -- I'd go swimming every night. Elizabeth: Well, then I vote we get a pool built in as soon as possible. Ric: Yeah. Elizabeth: You know, that's the first time you've spoken about Alcazar holding you prisoner. I guess all those questions Sonny asked must have brought up a lot of memories. Ric: Mm-hmm. It's another part of my life, you know. A pretty big part, to be honest. Elizabeth: So, why were you working for Alcazar in the first place? And what went wrong? Ric: Those two questions, one answer -- Sonny Corinthos. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: How could Sonny disappear, Jason? Where were the guards? Why didn't they do something to stop it? Courtney: Carly, Jason doesn't know any more than we do. Come on. It's not going to help to panic, all right? So let's just take a step back and let's think this thing through. Carly: It was the drug guy, wasn't it? It was that fake agent. What -- unless Sonny did this on purpose and it's some kind of plan. Is it a plan, Jason? Some kind of diversion to make it look like he vanished and no one knows except for you? Jason, he would tell you. If you know and you guys are just scaring me -- Jason: Carly, it's not a setup! Sonny is gone for real. And I have a good idea who took him. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: You know what to do.. Second man: Bien. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: [British accent] I can assure you Ms. Davis has never paid me for anything, certainly not to spy. Ned: Why would we believe one word you say, Dobson, when you got this job under false pretenses? Skye: According to our research, you don't even exist. Alexis: Of course I exist. "I think, therefore I am," as Descartes so profoundly put it. I do have a perfectly reasonable explanation for the discrepancy, if you would only allow me the opportunity to explain. I was a victim of identity theft. Hounded by debts and liabilities not of my doing. I had no choice but to close all my records and start over, a clean slate, if you will. Skye: Oh, please. You're a fake. Admit it. Ned: The only reason why you're in this house is to feed Alexis information about Kristina. [doorbell rings] Skye: Oh, well, that must be Alexis now. She's a bit late, considering I left a message that Kristina had a fever, but Alexis is nothing if not erratic. [ring] Ned: Dobson, maybe you should answer that. Skye: Don't worry, Dobson, we're right behind you. I don't want to miss seeing that look on Alexis' face. Alexis: Doctor. Skye: Well, Dr. Lewis -- Alexis: I assume Ms. Davis couldn't be here and left a message for you that her daughter was ill. How kind of you to act on her behalf. [SCENE_BREAK] Zander: Ok, Emily, what -- what happened? All right, you fell down like you were going to faint over there. Are you on something? Nikolas: Oh, my -- will you stop badgering her? She just said she doesn't want to debate her personal life -- Zander: Ok, would you just back off? Emily, what's going on? What's wrong? Emily: I want to go home, and Nikolas is going to take me. Can you just please let him do that without turning this into a fight? Nikolas: Ok, it's ok. It's ok. It's ok. Come here. Come here. It's ok. Emily: I'm sorry. Nikolas: No, no, no, no, it's ok. It's ok. We can just sit here. We can sit here all day. It's ok. Emily: I feel so sick. Nikolas: It's ok. It's ok. Shh. Emily: Thank you, Nikolas, so much. Nikolas: Ok. You'll be all right. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: Go away. I don't want you here. It must be time for you to check in with brother Cassadine, anyway. Lucky: Nikolas and I acted together to protect mom. That means keeping her safe, away from Stefan and from you. Luke: I have no idea how we got here, Cowboy. I don't know whether to hate you or feel sorry for you. I don't know if you've been duped into believing this garbage you're spewing or if this is all some deep hatred for me. Lucky: You know, I know you probably won't believe this, but I love you, Dad. Summer: How's he doing? Lucky: Now he thinks I'm the enemy. Summer: Hey, listen, this isn't about you. This is about Laura. Give him time. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: What -- what is that? Courtney: Ok, it's Brenda's number in London. She gave Jason all her information in case of an emergency. Carly: Wait a minute. Things aren't bad enough, and you want to bring Brenda into this situation? Courtney: Carly, she spent four years with Alcazar. If he has any ties to this mystery man in Miami, she'll know about it. [knock on door] Carly: Thanks, Marco. You can wait outside. Stay close in case Ms. Rosco wants to cause a little trouble. Carly: I grabbed you. Sonny's disappeared, but I guess you know that already, right, Faith? So here's the deal. I will give you one chance to tell me where Sonny is, so you better start talking. Or believe me, I will make you wish you had. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: I don't know. In a lot of ways, I guess I was like any other kid brother, trying to make a good impression. I wanted to have something to offer Sonny when I finally approached him. So I worked for the next few years on becoming the best moneyman in the business. Alcazar was my last job. I hated him from the start, you know. In a lot of ways, he was just like Sonny, you know. A thug in a nice suit, good manners, pretending to be better than he was. I discovered that he was cheating me, so I decided to cheat him back. Elizabeth: Hmm. Ric: Mm-hmm. Elizabeth: Then you wound up locked in a cell in South America. Ric: Could have been worse. One morning, I came out in front of my office and my car blew up right in front of me. The fireball almost filled the entire street. Knocked me back onto the pavement. Then I heard the laughing. And I stood up, turned around, and there was Luis Alcazar. He congratulated me on surviving, then had both of his goons grab me and tie me up. Wasn't big on hiding what he was going to do to you. Knew he was above the law. It's a good thing for everybody's sake he's dead. Can I help you? What are you doing in my house? Elizabeth: Jason, no, let go of him! Jason: Tell me where Sonny is right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Carly: Sonny is missing. Faith, tell me where he is. Faith: I don't know. I didn't even know he was gone. Carly: Tell me where he is, or very, very bad things are going to happen to you. Faith: Really? You know what? Your pregnancy hormones are working overtime, sister. Why would I do anything that stupid? Carly: Because you are stupid, Faith, and you're desperate and you hate my husband. Faith: Right, right, whatever you say. You know what? Why don't you lie down and put your feet up. You'll feel much better. Carly: Listen to me, Faith. I will do whatever it takes to find my husband -- whatever it takes. Faith: Really? What's that going to be? You going to hold me down while Courtney cottontail here pulls my hair out? Face it -- Sonny is tired of sleeping with you. You're obsessing over this nonkidnapping. Meanwhile, Sonny boy is out on a three-day bender trying to forget about his harpy wife. Carly: Ok, Faith, I will talk to you again -- after Marco spends about an hour with you. [door opens] Man: This was dropped off downstairs for Jason. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: Jason, for God's sake, just let go of him! Jason: Where's Sonny? Elizabeth: Please, you're hurting him! Jason: Where's Sonny, Ric? Tell me. Ric: Look, I can't -- Jason: Don't lie to me! Elizabeth: Please, just stop it! Jason: You know what? You can play these little games, but you better tell me where Sonny is. Ric: Look, I don't know where my brother is, ok? The last time he was here, he was asking me information about Luis Alcazar. That's all I know. Jason: Max, keep searching. Look for any trace of Sonny or any place that Ric could have taken him. [phone rings] Jason: Yeah? Carly: An envelope just came for you, Jason. Carlo left it with the doorman downstairs. Jason: Don't open it. Carly: Get home as soon as you can, all right? Jason: I'm on my way. Max. Elizabeth: Oh, God. You ok? Ric: Yeah. Elizabeth: You ok? Ric: It's ok. Elizabeth: God, I hate him. I hate Jason and everything he stands for. Ric: Jason's going to get what he deserves. Sonny will, too. Maybe he already has. [SCENE_BREAK] Cameron: Let me get this straight. Kristina does not have a fever? The two of you purposely left a false and inflammatory message for Alexis? Ned: Kristina is not sick, but there is something definitely wrong with her present situation. Skye: Namely, the fact that her lunatic mother hired Dobson to work as a butler and spy on the Quartermaine family. Cameron: Dobson, do you have any idea how someone could have gotten that impression? Alexis: [British accent] Certainly not, Sir. I have given impeccable service. Skye: Oh, please. Dobson's "service" consists of listening at doors, except when he's hovering over Kristina, and lawyering for Alexis, demanding her rights and painting her as mother of the year. Oh, please, it's obvious. That man's a plant. Cameron: The only thing obvious to me is that the two of you are overreacting in the extreme. Ned: I don't think so. None of Dobson's references check out. Either they're wholesale fantasies or the people in these families are no longer living. Alexis: Yes, I -- I told them that I was a victim of identity theft. Cameron: You can't hold Alexis responsible if the two of you hired a butler with sketchy credentials. Skye: Oh, please. Yet more proof that Dobson is Alexis' spy. I mean, why else would her co-conspirator and chief apologist be defending him? Now, this -- this is an invasion of privacy, and it is against the law. I am telling you that -- Zander: Skye, you got it all wrong. My dad isn't protecting Dobson for Alexis. He's dating him. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Talk about harmonious family dynamic. Instead of helping my dad, he made me so crazy, I had to knock him out cold. Summer: Luke's hurting, Lucky. That really explains a lot of his actions. Lucky: Doesn't make them right. Summer: Yeah, but it doesn't make you wrong. You're doing what you can to help your mother and avoid this war with the Cassadines. I believe that if Luke is ever able to see past his own pain, he's going to be grateful to you. Lucky: You know what? My dad is so desperate to fight somebody. I don't want it to be me. He just keeps driving this thing, and just -- just won't stop. Summer: Yeah, but you never stop, either. Lucky: You know what? I've stayed out of this as long as I could. I just don't want to get involved. But I'm going to have to make a stand, and I'm standing next to my brother. Summer: Well, if it helps at all, I'm standing with you. Lucky: You know what? There's no reason for you to get caught up in all this. Summer: But I am. Because you are. You matter to me, Lucky. [phone rings] Lucky: Yeah, hello? Tony: Your father has left the hospital, and we've got to find him. He is injured, he's medicated, and if I know Luke, he's heading to the nearest bar to get a drink. And that's the worst thing he could do. It could put him in a coma. [SCENE_BREAK] [glass breaks] Stefan: Back so soon? Haven't you already ransacked that particular desk? Luke: I never finished. Stefan: Persistence. Or should I say, fanatic single-mindedness? How admirable. Luke: I'm going to find where you've stashed Laura, and I'm going to rescue her. Stefan: Oh, Luke, the hero. How fortunate Laura is to have you. You know, if you do locate her, perhaps you can terrorize her even further into her black hole of silent madness. Luke: On second thought, I can save a whole lot of time and effort if I just convince you to tell me where she is. What do you think? Stefan: Oh. It appears it may be a bit more difficult for you to cut my throat than you think. And even if you do, it won't bring you any closer to Laura. Luke: You'll tell. You haven't got the guts not to. Stefan: It has nothing to do with guts. I simply don't know where our boys moved their mother. Luke: I don't believe you. Stefan: Well, your paranoia notwithstanding, Nikolas refuses to tell me anything about Laura's whereabouts. Luke: I don't believe you. Stefan: All right. Have it your way. Cut my head off. Search the desk again, ransack the whole place from top to bottom. You won't find any record of Laura's whereabouts. Believe me, I've looked. Luke: Nikolas is your secret weapon. He always has been. Isn't that true? Because you know he's the only person I can't harm because he's Laura's son. So you used him to control her, and you used him to bring Lucky over to your side. So he's the key to it all, isn't he? Without Nikolas, Laura is free. Stefan: Don't you dare lay a hand on that boy. Luke: I'm getting my wife back, no matter whose blood it takes. [SCENE_BREAK] Zander: Oh, yeah. I came over the other night to see Emily. Saw it with my own eyes. He grabbed that butler and kissed him like there was no tomorrow. So, you see, those two -- they -- they have something going, all right, but Alexis -- not in the picture. Cameron: Alexander, there's a lot we need to talk about. Zander: Yeah, you know, Dad, forget it, you know? It's cool. You know, I have my own life, you have yours. I'm here to see Emily. Ned: She's not here. Zander: Well, she has to be. Nikolas was bringing her home from the hospital. She's not feeling well. Ned: Well, they must have stopped along the way. And I'm sorry, ordinarily, I would invite you to stay and wait for her, but right now we're sort of in the middle of a crisis. So I'm afraid you may have to leave. Cameron: I'll call you later and explain. Zander: Yeah. [door opens and closes] Ned: Maybe now would be a good time to explain. You're welcome to go. Skye: You, too, Dobson. You no longer work here. Alexis: [British accent] Why? Because I'm gay? Madam, may I inform you, it is illegal to terminate one's employment due to their homosexuality. Ned: What Skye meant to say -- Alexis: I have never made an issue of my sexuality before, but I would be happy to drag the whole Quartermaine family through the messiest discrimination suit in history. Not only will I be forced to defend myself, but I will air the entire household's dirty linen, including all the secrets that I have been privy to. Your vindictiveness could prove very harmful to the entire Quartermaine family. Skye: Don't you threaten me, you preening bozo. You're being fired for an invasion of privacy of this family and for gross incompetence. Ned: No one is getting fired. I can assure you, Dobson, the Quartermaines would never, ever dismiss anyone due to their sexual orientation. We would love to have you stay on. Skye: Ned, for God's sake! Ned: But with a warning. You need to clear up these discrepancies on your references. And from now on, you need to start minding your own business. Otherwise, gay or not, you'll be out on the street. Alexis: I fully understand, Sir. There shall be no more problems. Ned: I hope not. Alexis: If it is all right, may I please have a word with Cameron alone? Ned: Fine. Skye: Whatever floats your boat. Ned: Hey, stay off Dobson's case. Skye: I still say Dobson has an agenda. Ned: Well, at least we know that he and Cameron aren't spying for Alexis. [SCENE_BREAK] Alexis: [Normal voice] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Once again, you rode in on your white horse. Cameron: And thanks to your insane masquerade, my son thinks I'm gay. I've got to find Alexander and explain. Alexis: No, don't. No, no, no, no. Because he'll tell people. He'll tell everybody. It's too good. He'll tell Emily. Cameron: Tell them? Tell them what, Alexis? This is over. Alexis: No -- Cameron: As of today, Dobson has to disappear forever. Otherwise, they're going to have you committed. Alexis: No! Just a little bit longer, please. Cameron: Alexis, this has to stop. Alexis: Cameron, I need a little bit longer. I've got to prove that Skye and Ned are trying to steal my kid. Cameron: You are certifiable. If you're discovered, you'll be doing Skye's dirty work for her by proving yourself unfit. Alexis: I won't be discovered. They think I'm a man -- who's in love with you. I'm sorry. Cameron: I wish I had never met you. Alexis: You just like my beard. Sorry. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: Here we go. All right? What do you think, huh? Elizabeth: I don't know. I don't know. I can't think of anything except for Jason busting in here and threatening you, and searching our house like he had the right. Ric: Look, don't give Jason more power than he deserves, ok? He's a criminal, not too bright. He's going to wind up either in prison or dead. Either way, it's inevitable, and it's nothing for us to worry about. Elizabeth: You know, I'm starting to understand how vendettas get started. Someone hurts someone else or shames them, and then there's payback and retaliation. And then you lose track of who hurt who last. And then the hate just consumes your life. Ric, if that's what happened here, if you had anything to do with Sonny's disappearance, you need to tell me. Just be honest with me, please. [knock on door] Elizabeth: Oh. Ric: Just hold that thought, ok? My, my, how ironic. Come in. Look, honey, we have a visitor. I can't imagine what possessed her to come over here tonight. Faith: You better send snow white upstairs. We have business. Ric: Oh, snow white, huh? Faith: Mm-hmm. Ric: What does that make you, the wicked witch? Anything you have to say you can say in front of my wife. Faith: Oh. So she knows where you're hiding Sonny? I got to hand it to you, that's a gutsy move. Ric: You know, for a split second there, I thought that you took him. But then I remembered, you don't have any financing or a power base, and neither do I. Nor do I have the desire. All right? Both of you need to listen up and understand -- I did not take, grab, or kidnap my brother. I don't know where Sonny is. I hope to god that he is still alive. I don't want to lose him. We have a lot of unfinished business. [SCENE_BREAK] Courtney: Faith was here when it came. She just -- Jason: Faith was -- why was Faith here? Carly: I had her picked up. I wanted to ask her some questions. Jason: Carly, you know better than to pull stuff like that. I know you're afraid for Sonny, but from now on, calm down and let me handle it. Carly: I am sorry! I had to do something! Jason: Not that! Courtney: Come on, come on. Ok, from what Carly and I could see, Faith was just as surprised as we were that Sonny had disappeared. Jason: We didn't find anything in Ric's place, either. Carly: Just forget Ric and open the envelope! God, it's a ransom note, isn't it? It's a ransom note. What is it? Oh, my God. Sonny. No, look, look -- Jason: Come on, just -- Carly: Look at him, Jason. Look what they did to him. Jason: Sit down. Carly: They beat him up, Jason. What -- what is going to happen to him? Courtney: Carly -- Carly, it's going to be all right, ok? Sonny is alive in the picture. We're going to find him. Carly: Jason, what if they lock him up? Jason: Carly -- Carly: He's claustrophobic. Jason: Carly, stop it. Carly -- Carly: He can't handle it. Jason: Stop it right now. You need to stay strong. You need to hold it together for Sonny and your children. Courtney: Jason -- Jason: Carly -- Carly, listen to me. Please, just breathe. Don't panic, don't do anything crazy. The way to help Sonny is to stay strong. I need you to stay strong. Carly: Ok. Ok, I can stay -- I -- I can. Jason: I know where to find him. I'm going to bring him home. I'm going to bring him home. Courtney: Jason, be careful! Ok, Carly, are you going to be ok alone? Carly: Where are you going? What -- Courtney: Just listen. This all leads back to Alcazar, ok? If he has any ties to that guy in Miami, Brenda will know, and I'm going to go talk to her in person just to -- Carly: Courtney -- [door opens and closes] Carly: Oh, God. [SCENE_BREAK] Emily: Hey, who would have guessed, huh? Fresh air really is a cure for nausea. Driving with the top down has made me feel a million times better. Nikolas: Oh, good. Emily: I think I could actually eat something right now. Nikolas: Yeah? Emily: Yeah. Dobson! Nikolas: Wow. When Cassadines want their servants, we either ring them with a hand bell or call them on the phone, but we never bellow like that. Emily: Well, bellowing is the only way we Quartermaines ever do anything around here. Dobson! Nikolas: Dobson! I don't think the bellow method is working at the moment. Emily: Yeah. Nikolas: So listen, it's not going to be easy for you to hide the effects of chemo with a house full of servants and your family, so why don't you come stay at Wyndemere for a couple days, you know? You can have quiet and privacy and servants who actually come when you call them. But most importantly, you won't -- you won't have to hide that you're sick, Em. Emily: Not only are you the most polite human who has ever lived, but you're probably the most thoughtful. I'm going to be all right here. Nikolas: Yeah? Emily: Yeah. Nikolas: Ok. Well, I'll be by tomorrow. If you need anything in the meantime, just -- just call me. Emily: No, you have gone way above and beyond the call of friendship. Especially covering for me with Zander today. That was -- that was really great of you. Nikolas: Well, you're pretty great yourself. Bye. Emily: Ok. [SCENE_BREAK] Summer: Is everything ok? Summer: Luke? Luke: Laura. My angel, you've come back. [SCENE_BREAK] Stefan: Nikolas is not at home. Emily: Oh, I know, but he invited me to stay, so I'm taking him up on it. I've already asked the housekeeper to make up a room for me. Stefan: Well, your timing is inconvenient. Nikolas has other concerns at the moment. Luke Spencer has lost whatever is left of his mind. He's making violent threats. Emily: Ok. Well, then it's a good thing I'm here. Last time Luke threatened Nikolas, I stood up for him. Stefan: Did you? Emily: Yeah. Stefan: Are you giving yourself too much credit? Emily: Ok. You know, Nikolas loves you. I understand how that works. I love my family even when they are rude, hostile, or just plain wrong. But the first thing I do when I meet someone I like is tell them to ignore my family because they don't speak for me and they don't get to decide my life. Just like you don't get to decide Nikolas'. Stefan: I have no objection to a friendship between you and Nikolas. But a romance is unacceptable. Emily: Were you listening? You don't get a vote. Stefan: I resigned myself to Nikolas' engagement with Gia. I knew there would never be a marriage. I knew that Nikolas would eventually come to his senses. Emily: What does Nikolas' getting married have to do with me spending the night? Stefan: Nothing. That's exactly my point. There's no place for you in Nikolas' life. And if you continue to push your way in, I'll have no choice but to push you out. [SCENE_BREAK] Lucky: Nikolas. Nikolas: I got the message. What's the emergency? Lucky: Are you positive there's no paper trail where we have mom hidden? Nikolas: Absolutely. It's all on the computer at the attorney's office. Why? What's the problem? Lucky: My dad's really lost it this time. He is on a one-man rescue mission, and he's not taking anyone prisoner. Nikolas: We can't let Luke near our mom, Lucky. Lucky: Well, I agree, but he's coming after you, so you better keep your bodyguards close. He's so out of control, I don't know what he'll do next. [SCENE_BREAK] Luke: I never meant to let them take you. I should have protected you better. I should have done so many things better. But you're here now. You escaped. You're so much smarter and stronger than they give you credit for being. Only I know the truth about -- Summer: Luke, listen to me. Luke: About you. Summer: Listen to me, ok? You don't understand. You've hurt your head. Luke: It's been hell without you, Laura. Every day is a battle just to keep going, just to care about living. But I -- Summer: Ok, Luke -- Luke: Oh, please -- nothing. There's nothing without you. Angel, there's nothing. Don't leave me. Don't ever leave me again. Please don't leave me. Summer: Oh, God. Ok, look, I'm right here. Luke: Don't leave me. Summer: I'm right here. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Luke: I love -- I love you. I love you. I love you. [SCENE_BREAK] Ric: So, what shall we drink to? I got it. How about no more uninvited guests? Elizabeth: You know what? Before we drink to anything, Ric, I just -- I want to apologize for thinking that you could have had something to do with Sonny's disappearance. Ric: You wouldn't be the insightful woman that I love if the thought hadn't occurred to you. The important thing is that you were honest, ok, and you asked me. So why don't we drink to that, hmm? Honesty -- Elizabeth: Ok. Ric: Between us always. Mmm. Elizabeth: You know, maybe I shouldn't be drinking. What if our new baby is already on the way? Ric: Well, I don't think a few sips of champagne are going to hurt you. But I think you're right. Our new baby is definitely on its way. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Mom? Carly: Why aren't you asleep, sweetie? Michael: I had a bad dream. Carly: Yeah? Michael: When I woke up, Leticia and you and daddy weren't there. Carly: Oh, sweetheart, Leticia has the night off, but she'll be back tomorrow. Michael: What about daddy? Where did he go? Carly: Daddy's just -- he's away on business, but he'll be back real soon. Come on, let's go. Oh -- Michael: Mommy! What happened? Are you sick? Man: He's been moved. You have something I want, and I have something you want. Now we can begin negotiations. [NEXT_ON] Lucky: Dad? Luke: Look, your mother's back. Nikolas: You push me, and I will cut you off without a penny. Elizabeth: I'm thrilled that you want a family. Ric: Nothing wrong with looking forward to something, right? Carly: Oh! Ah! Man: My merchandise for your boss.
