Jax: If she's working an agenda against Sonny, then that is his problem, not ours.

Carly: I can't brush it off like that.

Jax: Yes, you can.

Carly: No, I can't. I have children with Sonny, and Claudia is not above using him. Look what she's doing with Michael.

Jax: I'm starting to be sorry I brought Claudia up in the first place.

Carly: Okay, if this is the preamble to the "don't get upset" lecture, you don't have to do that, because I'm fine, Jax, we're just having a conversation here.

Jax: I just -- it's not a healthy subject for you to dwell on, okay? So can we stop talking about Claudia, okay? You haven't even eaten any of your food.

Carly: I don't like it.

Jax: You don't like it? You're not five years old. It's healthy for you -- hey –

Alexis: Hello.

Jax: Oh, hi.

Alexis: Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi.

Alexis: You guys haven't seen Agent Rayner, have you?

Jax: Consorting with the feds after hours, huh? What's going on?

[Phone rings]

Alexis: Hold on. Let me grab this. I think I have to pick up Kristina at the library.

Kristina: So this is where the mysterious Jason Morgan hangs out. Does a woman live here with you?

Jason: Excuse me?

Kristina: Just asking. It's warmer than you'd think, and the pool table is a nice touch. Who are you calling? As if I didn't know. Why? You and my mother don't even get along. For sure you don't owe her anything. If you have to call somebody, call Dad.

Jason: Sonny's busy.

Kristina: What else is new?

Sonny: What do you mean Michael's gone? What do you to do him?

Claudia: Do? Nothing.

Sonny: Why are you here?

Claudia: Because I wanted to see him, Sonny.

Sonny: What-- Michael's not here, so what -- what happened to him?

Claudia: Sonny, would you just --

Sonny: What happened? What happened to my son?

Toussaint: Are you okay? You're looking a little wobbly.

Michael: Uh, no, I'm good.

Toussaint: What room were you in?

Michael: I was visiting my brother. But if you really want to help, uh, could you maybe get me a cab?

Toussaint: You're not going anywhere, son.

Rebecca: I've had it with being the place where Cassadine women go to dump their insanity and paranoia. I am sick of defending myself against never-ending and baseless accusations, so believe what you want, tell Nikolas what you want, good luck in getting him to believe you, but however it is that you decide to pursue it, you whacked-out freak show, stay the hell out of my face.

Helena: Well, how priceless. Better to see a vicious little guttersnipe emerge from Emily’s insipid face. Oh, what we couldn't have accomplished if only I'd gotten to you first.

Rebecca: Maybe you're not just as smart as you think you are.

Helena: Well, you would be well advised not to suffer that disillusion, my dear. At the moment, I find you amusing, intriguing to watch, but if you become tedious --

Rebecca: What? You'll what?

Helena: Must you always be so defensive? You and I are not necessarily at cross-purposes. It would seem counterproductive not to pool our resources, don't you think? Now, I would make it worth your while to walk away from your current partner and work with me. You know, the sky's the limit, Rebecca.

Jason: Oh, what do you think you're doing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Kristina: You should work on your hospitality.

Jason: You're not drinking alcohol here.

Kristina: I hope you're not dumb enough to think I won't drink it anywhere else.

Jason: Well, I can't control that. Here, drink this instead.

Kristina: I'm not thirsty. But I could get hungry real fast. Want to hook up with me?

Jason: Okay, hold on. I know you're trying to distract me from calling Alexis, but you've got to find a different strategy.

Kristina: Whatever. Call her. I'll just make up a reason for being there, like Chandler Elles. My mom always says she's a train wreck. A disaster waiting to happen." I'll just say I heard Chandler was out drinking, and I went to the club to try and talk her into going home. Mom will love that. It's caring and responsible. Except here's the glitch. I wasn't able to help Chandler because your big, macho self showed up and hauled me away. I could probably work up a pretty good cry by the time she gets here. And why waste it? I'll tell her you tried to have sex with me.

Jason: Yeah, stick with that one, because that's believable.

Kristina: Are you making fun of me? You? My dad's number one flunky? Let me tell you something. If it comes to my mother choosing whether to believe me or you, she'll pick me every time. You want to put it to the test? Go ahead, call.

Alexis: Sorry.

Carly: It's okay, if you have plans tonight, don't let us keep you.

Jax: Oh, no, no, no. Please, sit down, sit down. I see that Molly's still trying to bargain her Friday night curfew.

Alexis: Like clockwork. No pun intended.

Jax: I didn't realize Kristina was back from her honor's trip. How was Boston?

Alexis: She loved it. She really did. She came back with a mountain of homework, but, fortunately, it doesn't seem to faze her because she takes overachieving to a new level, which is why she's at the library right now when she should be with her friends, actually.

Jax: Oh.

Carly: Isn't it a little late in the year to be studying so hard?

Alexis: Yeah, but she's studying for summer courses, trying to prep because she's determined to get into Yale.

Jax: Aww, like mother, like daughter.

Alexis: I tell her to do as I say, not as I do, but she's determined, you know, and she should relax. She's got straight A’s. What can I say? I've got the perfect child, eh? I'm sorry. I don't mean to be insensitive. I want to hear about Michael. Stop me next time I do that.

Carly: It's okay, it's okay. Kristina is giving you a reason to brag, that's great. Michael has lost a year of his life, you know? He has lots of challenges ahead, but I'm just as proud of him.

Claudia: It's getting hard for me to keep track, what exactly are you accusing me of this time.

Sonny: I walk in here, you tell me Michael's gone, not much else.

Claudia: I didn't do anything to him.

Sonny: Okay, let's just stop this right now and go from the top. Why are you here?

Claudia: Because I wanted to see Michael.

Sonny: Okay, why?

Claudia: Because I like him, Sonny, for God's sake.

Sonny: And? And?

Claudia: And what? And we talked for a few minutes, and then a nurse came in, and she said he needed his bandage changed. I left, okay? I went to Kelly’s to get cookies. I thought I'd surprise him, poor boy. Look, here you go.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Claudia: Proof, okay? End of whatever conspiracy theory I'm supposed to have committed, whatever.

Sonny: Why didn't you just say that from the start?

Claudia: Because I tried. You've been yelling at me from the minute you walked in here.

Sonny: Okay, I'm sorry.

Claudia: Okay, fine.

Sonny: Jeez.

Claudia: He probably just went to get some tests or something, I don't --

Sonny: That's -- it's a little too late for that. I don't like this. It does not feel right.

Toussaint: Okay. All right, now, why don't you wait here? I'll get you a nurse.

Michael: No, I told you, I'm not a patient.

Toussaint: Well, I'm thinking maybe you should be.

Michael: You don't look like a doctor to me.

Toussaint: Oh, do I look like a man with no eyes in my head?

Michael: I've been fighting a really bad flu bug. That's all.

Toussaint: Looks like the bug is winning.

Michael: You know, maybe I pushed it coming to see my brother. We're close, okay? I missed him. Just please, get me a cab?

Toussaint: Are you sure?

Michael: Positive. Positive.

Toussaint: All right, I'm going to get you a cab, but you have to tell me your name. It's not negotiable.

Michael: Michael. Michael Corbin.

Toussaint: Well, I'm Toussaint Dubois.

Michael: The guy who's going to get me a cab, right?

Toussaint: As soon as I get a nurse to take a look at you. You're going to wait right here, right?

Michael: Whatever.

Toussaint: I'll take that as a yes.

Toussaint: Oh, Epiphany, it's good to see you.

Epiphany: As I live and breathe, Toussaint Dubois. When did you get back?

Toussaint: Oh, a few weeks ago. I should have called you.

Epiphany: No obligations. How was the tour?

Toussaint: Oh, the center didn't hold. You know, the same old crap that broke us up in the first place reared its ugly head. But I'd love to fill you in over dinner sometime. But right now, there's a kid over here that doesn't look good. Can you take a look at him?

Epiphany: Sure. Show me.

Toussaint: He's right over here.

Ethan: Ah, Sir Cassadine. Always a pleasure. You know, if you're looking for some real action, there's a private game starting in about an hour.

Nikolas: I'm actually here to see my brother.

Ethan: Well, Lucky's on his way.

Nikolas: Yeah. Should be here any minute.

Ethan: Oh.

Nikolas: Okay. Here I am. Should I brace myself for yet another shocking revelation about Rebecca?

Lucky: Why hadn't Ethan filled you in?

Nikolas: About what?

Lucky: Oh, he's living proof of my dad's infidelity.

Nikolas: Do you want to start from the beginning?

Lucky: Well, all I know is back when I was on the road with my parents, my dad was off having an affair with Holly Sutton. And she got pregnant. He's the result.

Nikolas: He's your brother.

Lucky: Well, according to the latest version of events. Which not only makes my dad a liar, it makes him the worst kind of hypocrite.

Rebecca: Let me be clear. I'm not going to be joining forces with you for any reason. Especially not the exploitation of Nikolas. In fact, I strongly suggest that you slither back under that little rock that you came from and leave me alone.

Helena: Well, brava, brava, brava. You become more impressive by the minute. You just adjusted your performance on a dime.

Rebecca: Great. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Helena: Well, the sincere concern for Nikolas' welfare, exactly like Emily -- when the naughty little mouse got it in her head to roar.

Rebecca: Oh, God, I have no idea why I'm still talking to you.

Helena: But you're not aware, are you? That you sounded just like her. Oh, my poor darling little Nikolas. The moment you entered the picture, he never stood a chance.

Rebecca: Read my lips, lady. Screw you.

Jason: Alexis isn't picking up.

Kristina: Could have left a voice mail.

Jason: Can always call back, can't I?

Kristina: Why don't you just call my dad?

Jason: Like I said, Sonny's busy.

Kristina: He'll come if you tell him -- who am I kidding? Dad doesn't care what I'm doing. He doesn't even bother to find out.

Jason: Your father loves you, Kristina.

Kristina: Whatever that means. To be fair, I can't blame Dad exclusively. Mom practically hyperventilates at the thought of me spending time with him. But it all works, right? Since he really doesn't want to be bothered.

Jason: Okay, it's obvious that you have some issues with your parents. Maybe you should be discussing this with them.

Kristina: And lose my leverage? Why would I do that?

Jason: Your leverage?

Kristina: Dad cancels his scheduled visit. I play it off like it's no big deal so he won't, God forbid, feel pressured. Compared to my mother, I come off like the reasonable one. Then I go to her, all hurt and teary. What's so wrong about me that my own father doesn't want me around? Mom feels guilty, so she overcompensates. I get a trip to Boston, or a flat screen for my bedroom. Mom and Dad shower me with material things, and I'm shallow enough to go with that. It's not perfect, but it's a sweet deal. I'm not going to be rocking that boat by spilling my feelings all over the floor.

[Jason sighs]

Kristina: You know what? I'm bored. Take me home.

Alexis: How is Michael?

Carly: He's fine.

Alexis: I'm sorry that I wasn't more visibly supportive during his surgery.

Carly: It's okay, I'm sure you were busy.

Alexis: Family matter, unpleasant.

Jax: Yeah, I heard that Helena was in town.

Alexis: So is Rebecca Shaw, but I'm trying to remedy that.

Carly: It's okay. I'm sure you had your hands full. Yeah, Michael is fine. He's had tons of support. I'm sure he didn't miss you, but his sister, that's a different story.

Alexis: I'm afraid that's my fault, too. I thought Kristina seeing Michael comatose might be too upsetting for her.

Carly: Distract her from her A’s. I get it. But Michael could use a visit from Kristina.

Alexis: Absolutely. I will check with Kristina and then I'll let you know when -- when it's okay for her.

Carly: Yeah.

Alexis: There's Agent Rayner.

Jax: Oh, go.

Alexis: All right.

Alexis: Agent Rayner. I was pleasantly surprised to get your call.

Agent Rayner: Is that so? You made my day.

Alexis: No, I meant that I didn't expect the results to come back so quickly.

Agent Rayner: Well, that's what happens when you have the weight of the bureau working for you. We ask, people tend to answer. That and I have the incentive. I wanted to impress you.

Alexis: You're not flirting with me again, are you?

Agent Rayner: Am I getting anywhere?

Alexis: No.

Agent Rayner: All right, then. Everything you ever wanted to know about Rebecca Shaw is in this file. But heed my warning; it may be the opposite of what you want to hear.

Carly: The only good thing about Sonny marrying Claudia and knocking her up is it makes that twit look good in comparison.

Jax: Oh, there she is. See, I knew that my wife was in there somewhere.

Carly: Do I get points for good behavior?

Jax: Oh, it's nice to have you back. Yes, you do, actually, because as, you know, just considering how much you hate Alexis, you were actually quite civilized.

Carly: Mmm, I mean it. Alexis is way too high and mighty for my taste, but I love her like a sister, compared to the loathing I have in my heart for Claudia.

Claudia: I really -- honestly, I think you're overreacting.

Sonny: Overreacting? All Michael did when he was here was complain he didn't want to be here, and now he's gone.

Claudia: Well, he probably went for a walk down the hall --

Sonny: Where is -- there's nobody here right now anyway.

Claudia: Or he went to talk to a doctor or something. Look, you need to check yourself. This kind of over-the-top hovering is exactly what's making him crazy, and if he comes back from his disappearance and it's perfectly innocent, he was at the cafeteria?

Sonny: Okay.

Claudia: He's likely to start resenting you, the same way he's resenting Carly, you know? I'm just saying. You need to --

Sonny: Elizabeth. Do you know if Michael went to do some tests, or --

Elizabeth: I don't think so, but I can check for you. No, nothing.

Sonny: Uh, okay. So where is he?

Claudia: Okay, he doesn't mean to sound accusatory --

Sonny: Shh.

Claudia: He's just worried.

Elizabeth: I don't know where your son is.

Sonny: Okay, listen, I have all the respect for you in the world, but don't take this personally, but please don't tell me that you've lost my son.

Elizabeth: I know he's been anxious to complete physical therapy. Let me just check to see if he's there.  

Nikolas: So was this a surprise to you, or did you come to Port Charles knowing that you were Luke’s son?

Ethan: Well, it was Holly who claimed that Luke is my father, and she was very convincing. You have to admit, Luke and I are kind of cut from the same cloth, you know. We're kindred spirits, so to speak. And the instant bond we shared was unmistakable.

Nikolas: Well, it sounds like you got blindsided once again.

Ethan: Hmm. What do you mean, once again?

Nikolas: Well, Lucky didn't know that he had an older brother, that would be me, until he was a teenager.

Lucky: Ah, you were shocked because you came from the same mother. You know, I'm surprised I didn't see that one coming. I mean Dad lies, he abandons. Why wouldn't he cheat? You know, continue the cycle.

Ethan: Well, it's not like he even knew I existed, so he didn't walk out on me. I don't think "abandoned" applies in my case.

Lucky: Ah, you'd better lose those rose-colored glasses when it comes to my father. You're just setting yourself up, because he will disappoint.

Ethan: Do you ever give that old man a break?

Lucky: You don't have to listen to me. Why don't you ask Nikolas? Go ahead, tell him about his new, wonderful father, and how he treated you when you first came to town?

Nikolas: Uh, I really don't want to --

Ethan: No, actually, I want to hear this.

Nikolas: Really? Okay. Well, first of all, let me preface this by saying it was a long time ago and now, for the most part, Luke and I do like each other. But in the beginning, yes, it was difficult for him to accept that I was Laura’s son.

Lucky: Difficult? Dad called Nikolas every name in the book. You know what? "Devil's spawn" was a particular favorite.

Nikolas: Okay. I was a kid, okay, and I didn't know what to do with all that hostility.

Ethan: I'm sorry to hear that, mate. But what does this have to do with me?

Nikolas: You tracked me down.

Alexis: I almost regret calling you in on this.

Agent Rayner: I had a feeling you might. Look, there's no law that says you have to act on any of this information. Sleep on it. It might be just enough to send Rebecca on her way.

Alexis: I could always say that I never saw the file and just let the chips fall where they may. I mean, Nikolas is a big boy. He keeps telling me to butt out of his business anyway.

Agent Rayner: Could you do that?

Alexis: You probably don't think I can. But you know, I've kept bigger secrets than this. Much worse than this. Unless, of course, you know that already.

Agent Rayner: Know what?

Alexis: About my secrets.

Agent Rayner: You think I ran a background check on you while I was at it?

Alexis: Did you?

Agent Rayner: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not as devious as all of that. The only research I did was on Rebecca Shaw at your request. So moment of truth, what are you going to do about the contents of that file?

Claudia: Maybe Michael went for a walk. You know how hard he's been pushing the physical therapy thing. Maybe he just decided to, you know, exercise his legs, and he's walking down the hall --

Sonny: Claudia --

Claudia: And he looks inside the room and he sees a pretty girl, and he's like, "Oh, hey," and she goes, "Oh, I can't sleep either. Hey, my name's" --

Sonny: Oh, Claudia, wait, wait, wait. Can you just stop rattling off a thousand scenarios where Michael could have been? And you -- why are you holding that phone? Are you expecting a call from Ric? Is that who you expected to call?

Claudia: Come on.

Carly: What's wrong?

Sonny: Hey. Um -- we think Michael might have gone out to do some physical therapy or something, but there's nothing to worry about because the nurses are tracking him down.

Carly: How long has he been missing?

Jax: Sonny didn't say that he was missing.

Carly: Well, he's not here. And why is he doing physical therapy by himself? He's going to push himself too hard, hurt himself, and then cause a setback, Sonny.

Elizabeth: Jason, have you seen Michael?

Jason: What are you talking about? You don't know where he is?

Elizabeth: He's missing, and we can't find him.

Jason: He's miss --

Carly: Did you find Michael?

Elizabeth: He's not in the rehabilitation room or anywhere on this floor. We've got people looking for him, but we can't rule out the possibility that Michael may have walked out of the building.

Kristina: You almost gave me a heart attack.

Michael: Surprise. Miss me?

Kristina: Like crazy. What are you doing here?

Michael: I'm done with the hospital, okay? And I'm back. Which is where you come in.

Agent Rayner: Would you mind if I steered the conversation in a more personal direction?

Alexis: How personal?

Agent Rayner: Moderately.

Alexis: Elaborate.

Agent Rayner: I'm not going to ask you about the men in your life. From what you've told me, the general consensus is I'll probably be compelled to start issuing arrest warrants.

Alexis: Well, I'm not going to talk about my personal life anymore with you, okay?

Agent Rayner: Fair enough. Just curious, though, are you this loyal and protective with all of the people you love, or is Nikolas just a special case?

Alexis: I'm not sure how to answer that.

Agent Rayner: Well, you've gone out of your way to protect him. He's a grown man capable of managing his own life.

Alexis: Looks can be deceiving. Nikolas has never had it easy. Ever.

Agent Rayner: Even so, you've been challenging your stepmother who is known to be formidable and lethal. You've called out Rebecca Shaw and made no secret of that with Nikolas. And the horror of horrors, you've stooped to asking a fed for help.

Alexis: Is that your oddly flattering way of telling me to mind my own business?

Agent Rayner: No, not at all. It's just, I'm actually drawn to that mama lioness type. It just doesn't seem to be the quality that one would put with you. Alexis Davis, district attorney, single mom, mind like a steel trap, fiercely competitive. Usually something has to give. Oftentimes, the relationships with extended family are the ones that suffer. But you? You never miss a beat.

Alexis: I should hire you to do public relations for me. You make me sound all noble and fierce. I'm really just paranoid. I expect the worst to happen. Growing up a Cassadine, you're taught that the worst usually does.

Rebecca: Wow, that's some ego you're carting around there. What makes you think I'm here to see you?

Nikolas: Why else?

Rebecca: Well, it's a casino. I'm here to gamble. You've seen me play cards. You know I have to practice.

Nikolas: So is this just a coincidence?

Rebecca: You finding that hard to believe?

Nikolas: Oh, okay. Maybe I do get a little ahead of myself.

Ethan: No, it's called wishful thinking, mate.

Nikolas: All right, I stand corrected.

Rebecca: Think he's suffered enough?

Ethan: Yeah, it's time to put him out of his misery.

Rebecca: You were right the first time. I saw you earlier and I followed you here. So now you know what it feels like to have your own personal stalker.

Nikolas: I'm oddly unafraid.

Lucky: Looks like you two have taken a quantum leap.

Rebecca: Um, okay, if you're asking if were together, yeah.

Nikolas: And we appreciate your concern, but know what we're doing.

Rebecca: You want to blow this place?

Nikolas: Yeah, let's get out of here. Be patient. These things take time. Trust me.

Ethan: Thank you, chief.

Rebecca: What was that about?

Lucky: What?

Ethan: You can't put that badge down for a second, can you? Is it -- is it exhausting policing everyone's lives?

Jason: Excuse me. Have you seen a teenage --

Toussaint: Hey, Jason.

Jason: Toussaint, how are you?

Toussaint: All right. How's it going?

Jason: Good. Good to see you. I'd love to catch up with you, but --

Toussaint: But right now you're looking for a teenage boy?

Jason: Yeah, yeah, my nephew, Michael Corinthos.

Toussaint: As in Sonny?

Jason: Right. Michael's recovering from brain surgery, and he's supposed to be in his room. And he's not. He's been complaining about being here a lot. I'm just afraid he took off.

Toussaint: Well, there was a kid about a half an hour ago. Said his name was Michael Corbin.

Jason: That's him. Did you see which way he went?

Toussaint: My guess is he didn't get very far. The kid could barely stand. He asked me to get him a cab, and I told him that I would after I had somebody take a look at him.

Jason: And that was it? He left?

Toussaint: Yeah.

Jason: Okay, thanks. Good to see you. Hey, Spinelli, Michael's missing from the hospital. I need you to track every cab pickup at General Hospital within the last hour.

Kristina: You look really good -- not sick at all. And you're -- wow -- taller.

Michael: Yeah, nothing like coma time to help me grow big and strong. So when did you become such a babe?

Kristina: When you weren't looking, obviously. I'm so glad you're not mad at me.

Michael: Why would I be?

Kristina: Some sister. I didn't even visit you the whole time you were at the Aftercare Institute.

Michael: It doesn't matter. I wouldn't have known you were there anyway. Coma, remember?

Kristina: I wanted to come, but Mom thought it would be too upsetting.

Michael: I'm actually glad you didn't see me like that -- all helpless.

Kristina: It must have been so weird for you, but you don't remember anything, right?

Michael: I'm starting to remember people were talking to me, but not what they said. Like you're underwater, but things are coming back, I think. I don't know.

Kristina: I really missed you.

Michael: Yeah, and I missed everything, literally. To me, it didn't seem like a whole year passed. But it must have, because nothing is the same.

Carly: I know Michael hated being here, but Jason thought he had gotten Michael to accept that he had to stay here.

Sonny: Apparently not, Carly.

Carly: What if something happened to him?

Sonny: Nothing happened.

Carly: What if someone took him.

Jax: I just spoke with Elizabeth. Apparently, Bobbie is working tonight, so I'm going to see if I can track her down, and see if she knows anything.

Carly: Thank you.

Sonny: Listen to me. Like I told you before, my business is stable. There's no animosity. There's no reason for somebody to grab Michael to get to me. So if he left here, it's because he wanted to leave.

Claudia: And if it makes you both feel better, when I was with him earlier, he seemed fine. And he didn't seem like he was upset about anything.

Carly: Wait a second. Are you telling me that you're the last person who saw Michael before he ran away?  

Nikolas: Any chance I can get you back to Wyndemere tonight, or have you had enough of me?

Rebecca: Oh, yeah, right, that's why I followed you all the way to the Haunted Star. All I want to do is finish what we started earlier. And the faster we can get back to it, the happier I'll be. What?

Nikolas: Alexis wasn't wrong about everything. One thing she said to me I know is fact. That's that I'm happy. I'm really happy for the first time in a long time because of you. Thank you.

[Cell phone rings]

Nikolas: Sorry.

[Cell phone rings]

Nikolas: Looks like I talked her up. Yes, Alexis.

Alexis: You need to stop whatever you're doing right now and meet me at the Metro Court, and no, it cannot wait.

Michael: Thanks. I needed that.

Kristina: Sandwiches are about the extent of my talent. I mean, really, where would I learn anything else?

Michael: Alexis is still a disaster in the kitchen?

Kristina: The worst. I wish she'd just give up instead of trying all the time.

Michael: So, what's been going on with you since last time I checked in?

Kristina: Let's see. I topped the honor roll at Madison prep. I got five's on all my A.P.s. I'm sophomore class president. I lettered in tennis. And I raised $2,000 to fight urban graffiti. And I'm going to try to cure cancer before Mom's inedible breakfast.

Michael: That's awesome. You're awesome, I mean.

Kristina: Didn't Dad tell you any of this?

Michael: Everything's been pretty jacked at the hospital. A lot of stuff happened in a short amount of time.

Kristina: Did Dad mention me at all?

Michael: What's wrong? Are you having trouble with Dad?

Kristina: I'd almost prefer that to what I get -- which is nothing. After you got shot, Mom got even more paranoid about Dad. She didn't want me anywhere near him. Every time he tried to plan something, she'd find a reason to cancel. After a while, I guess he gave up. He certainly didn't put up a fight or anything.

Michael: Dad, he probably just wanted to honor Alexis' feelings. He knows how dangerous his business is. And after what happened to me --

Kristina: I don't want to talk about it anymore. Why did you take off from the hospital?

Michael: You would have, too. I mean, after all the constant medical attention and my entire family -- Quartermaines included -- hovering over me, I just wanted to punch someone. You know? So I came here because I knew I could count on you to help me out.

Kristina: Just tell me what you want me to do.

Jax: Sorry, I thought Carly was here.

Sonny: At the front desk. That was Jason. He's got a lead on Michael.

Jax: Well, that's a relief for Michael and Carly.

Sonny: How's she holding up?

Jax: Well, she's upset about his disappearance, but she's doing okay. You know, I'm really grateful for Michael's recovery. I couldn't love that boy more if he was my own. Just a little bit concerned about his acting out. It's dangerous for Carly and the baby.

Sonny: As you know, I don't agree with this pregnancy, but I -- you know, it's Carly's decision. I accept it and all there is to come with it. Which pretty much puts us on the same side, if you can believe that. I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure she's healthy. But that means there's going to be decisions made that she's not going to agree with. And I need you to back me on that. Do you think you can do that?

Epiphany: We're doing the best we can to find your son, Mrs. Jacks.

Carly: Clearly not enough. Elizabeth, can you please call Patrick and find out if there are any medical conditions that I need to worry about in case Michael doesn't come back here tonight?

Johnny: Hey. I got here as soon as I could. What's going on? What's the emergency?

Claudia: Michael took off.

Johnny: You mean from the hospital?

Claudia: Um, yeah. Right after he told me he remembers my voice from when he was comatose.

Johnny: Your voice or what you said about being involved in his shooting?

Claudia: I don't know. I didn't have time to find out. He didn't have time to answer. This nurse came in. I had to leave. When I got back, he was gone. John, I'm just really scared that he ran away because he's trying to get away from me.  

Rebecca: I didn't expect to see you here tonight.

Ethan: Well, do you want me to leave?

Nikolas: Well, congratulations on your once again impeccable timing. Your urgent call came just as Rebecca was about to come home with me. What a coincidence.

Alexis: Guess I just have a knack. Before you get any more involved with Rebecca, I think you should know who she is.

Nikolas: I'm getting really tired of these accusations.

Alexis: Well, I have the proof that you asked for. I don't know what you're going to do with it, but there is no doubt that Rebecca is Emily’s twin sister.

Kristina: Now that I've heard your plan, I have to ask. Have you given it much thought?

Michael: Are you saying I can't stay?

Kristina: Of course not. But Dad, Carly, and Jax are going to be freaked. Dad and Jason are going to have every no-neck in town combing the streets for you.

[Knock at door]

Jason: Kristina, it's Jason. Open the door.

Kristina: See? It's happening already. I told you to leave me alone.

Jason: I know Michael's in there. Open up.

Kristina: Don't worry about this.

Jason: Kristina, I know you think you're helping your brother, but you're making things worse. Michael, come on. Your dad's flipping out. So is your mom. Let's go.

Kristina: Quit the stupid game. Michael's not here, and you know it. You came for me.

Claudia: Please look for Michael. And as soon as you find him, let me know. I have to get to him before anybody else does.

Johnny: Just stay calm, all right? And call me if he comes back.

Claudia: I will.

Johnny: Okay?

Claudia: All right.

Sonny: So we're in agreement, right?

Jax: Absolutely. In the meantime, I'm going to take Carly home.

Carly: My son left this hospital because of you? What the hell did you say to him?

Claudia: What are you talking about?

Carly: I heard you talking to Johnny, and you said he ran away because of you. What did you say to him?

Claudia: I'm not doing this with you right now.

Carly: Yes, you are.

Claudia: No, I'm not.
