HELENA: LUCKY?
HAS SOMETHING UPSET YOU?
LUCKY: NOT AT ALL.
WHAT'S ON THE MENU?
HELENA: AH, MON PETIT,
TONIGHT WE ARE HAVING FRENCH.
COME, JOIN ME.
LUCKY: GOOD.
HELENA: WELL, I WAS SURE THIS
WOULD PLEASE YOU.
IT'S LOVELY HERE, ISN'T IT?
LUCKY: I ASSUME YOU'RE
REFERRING TO THE YACHT,
SINCE I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHERE
HERE IS.
HELENA: WELL, I REALIZE THAT,
LUCKY, AND I DO APOLOGIZE
FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP
YOU MORE FULLY APPRISED
OF OUR ITINERARY.
LUCKY: I UNDERSTAND.
HELENA: ANI WAS REFERRING
TO THE YACHT.
HOW OVERWHELMED LUKE AND LAURA
MUST HAVE BEEN, BEING ABLE
TO CLAIM OWNERSHIP TO THIS
MAGNIFICENT VESSEL.
CERTAINLY, NOTHING IN
THEIR DREARY, MIDDLE-CLASSED
EXISTENCE EVER PREPARED THEM
FOR SUCH LUXURY.
AND THAT'S BEING KIND TO LUKE.
BECAUSE LUKE AND HIS SISTER WERE
REALLY LITTLE MORE THAN STREET
URCHINS.
CAN'T YOU JUST PICTURE THEM
IN THIS VERY SALON,
PERHAPS HAVING DINNER OVER
A TABLE MUCH LIKE THIS ONE?
CAREFREE, REVELING IN THEIR GOOD
FORTUNE AND LACK OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
EXISTING ONLY TO LIVE OUT
THEIR HEDONISTIC DESIRES.
LUCKY: I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE
IT WHEN I'M LITERAL,
BUT THEY WERE CAREFREE.
THEY OWNED THIS YACHT BEFORE
I WAS BORN.
HELENA: YES.
AND AFTER THE BLESSED EVENT,
THEY NEVER MADE ONE SINGLE
CONCESSION FOR YOU.
A MERE BOY EXPECTED TO ADAPT
HIMSELF TO THEIR GYPSY
LIFESTYLE?
IT'S AS SHAMEFUL NOW AS IT WAS
THEN.
LUCKY: YOU KEEP SAYING THAT.
HELENA: YES.
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT.
LUCKY: OK.
I JUST WONDER WHY WHAT HAPPENED
TO ME MATTERS TO YOU SO MUCH.
HELENA: BECAUSE I FIND
YOU REMARKABLE IN SPITE
OF YOUR UPBRINGING.
OH, LUCKY.
LUCKY, YOU ARE INTELLIGENT,
AND YOU'RE CHARMING.
AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH OF THE DEVIL
IN YOUR SMILE TO KEEP THINGS
INTERESTING.
NOW, YOU HAVE ELEGANCE
AND GRACE.
IT'S AS IF YOU WERE BORN
TO ROYALTY INSTEAD OF
TO PEASANTS.
ANDREAS: I'M SORRY
TO INTERRUPT YOU, MADAM,
BUT YOU HAVE A CALL.
HELENA: AH, THANK YOU,
ANDREAS.
EXCUSE ME, LUCKY.

[DOOR CLOSES]
JUAN: TONIGHT WE'LL
CELEBRATE
THE LOVE THAT WE JUST MADE
LET'S CHERISH EVERY MOMENT THAT
WE SPEND TOGETHER
OH, NO.
EMILY: WHAT'S WRONG?
JUAN: I FORGOT THE WORDS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
IT TERRIBLE -- I --
EMILY: IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
DON'T OVERREACT.
JUAN: NO, YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND.
IF A BUDDING SINGER FORGETS
THE WORDS TO A SONG HE'S
REHEARSING FOR HIS FIRST BIG
AUDITION, HE'LL NEVER REMEMBER
LYRICS AGAIN.
UNLESS HE GETS A BEAUTIFUL GIRL
TO DANCE WITHIN 60 SECONDS AND,
YOU KNOW, WE'RE RUNNING OUT
OF TIME --
EMILY: OH, I DON'T
THINK SO --
JUAN: SO I THINK WE SHOULD --
EMILY: YOU NEED TO FOCUS!
JUAN: DANCE WITH ME!
EMILY: YOU NEED TO FOCUS!
STOP!
ELIZABETH --
JUAN: OH.
EMILY: HI.
JUAN: I DIDN'T HEAR THE DOOR
OPENING.
ELIZABETH: YOU GUYS, DON'T DO
THAT.
DON'T STOP LIVING YOUR LIVES
AND STOP LOVING EACH OTHER EVERY
TIME I WALK IN A ROOM, OK?
I'M NOT GOING TO BREAK.
JUAN: WE KNOW THAT.
EMILY: WE JUST KNOW THAT IT'S
BEEN HARD FOR YOU, NOT KNOWING
IF LUCKY'S COMING HOME
OR NOT, SO --
JUAN: YEAH, YOU MUST FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE FROZEN IN TIME
OR SOMETHING.
ELIZABETH: WELL, THAT ABOUT
SAYS IT.
BUT STILL, IT'S NO REASON
TO TREAT ME LIKE I'M MADE OUT
OF GLASS, OK?
EMILY: OK.
JUAN: WE JUST WANT TO HELP,
YOU KNOW, HOWEVER WE CAN.
ELIZABETH: WELL, THEN TREAT
ME LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO --
WITH CONTEMPT AND DISRESPECT.
I'M KIDDING!
EMILY: SHE HAS A WEIRD
PERSONALITY.
YOU GET USED TO IT.
SO ARE YOU GOING TO BE OK?
ELIZABETH: I'M SURE.
EMILY: OK.
YOU, BACK TO REHEARSAL.
GO.
JUAN: UGH.
ELIZABETH: HEY.

NIKOLAS: HEY.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING?
ELIZABETH: NOTHING.
I'VE TRIED TO KEEP MYSELF
FROM BEING SURGICALLY ATTACHED
TO THE TELEPHONE, BUT IT'S BEEN
KIND OF HARD.
NIKOLAS: YEAH, SOMETIMES
I JUST STOP IN MY TRACKS
AND REALIZE THAT I'M NOT EVEN
BREATHING.
GOD, THE THOUGHT OF LUCKY BACK
HERE WITH US --
ELIZABETH: I KNOW.
I KNOW.

STEFAN: ALEXIS.
YOU HAVE TO COVER FOR ME
WITH THE POLICE.
ALEXIS: OH. DEAR.
WHY?
STEFAN: BECAUSE IN HIS USUAL
DUNDERING FASHION, MAC SCORPIO
HAS NAMED ME THE PRIME SUSPECT
IN LUCKY'S KIDNAPPING.
ALEXIS: OH --
STEFAN: HE'S FORBIDDEN ME
TO LVE TOWN.
STAYING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
I NEED YOU TO KEEP HIM AT BAY.
I HAVE TO FIND LUCKY SPENCER
AND RETURN HIM TO LAURA.
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME, ALEXIS.
I CAN'T LOSE HER.

LAURA: WOW.
WOW.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THINGS
CHANGE FOR THE GOOD.
WE NEVER WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE
TO AFFORD A SUITE IN THE OLD
DAYS.
LUKE: WE NEVER WOULD'VE
WANTED ONE.
I'M STARTING TO WONDER
IF WE SHOULD HAVE EVEN COME
TO NEW YORK.
I MEAN, THE POLICE FOUND
HELENA'S YACHT.
THEY ALREADY DID A SEARCH.
IF THERE WAS ANY CLUE THERE
WE COULD'VE USED, THEY PROBABLY
TOOK IT, LOST IT, OR RUINED IT.
LAURA: THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY
TRUE.
I MEAN, THE POLICE DON'T KNOW
HELENA THE WAY WE DO.
THEY MIGHT OVERLOOK SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE VERY SIGNIFICANT
TO US.
LUKE: WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT --
LAURA: I'M ALWAYS RIGHT,
REMEMBER?
[LAURA LAUGHS]
LUKE: SO WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO DO FIRST, EAT?
LAURA: YOU DO REMEMBER!
LUKE: I DO.
LAURA: I WOULD, ACTUALLY.
I WOULD LOVE A COBB SALAD,
TOSSED, DRESSING ON THE SIDE --
LUKE: AND NO EGG.
LAURA: OOH, YOU DO
REMEMBER.
LUKE: I GOT A STEEL TRAP.
YOU FORGET.
ROOM SERVICE.
LAURA: OOH.
OH, YOUR BACKUP I.D.s, HUH?
LUKE: YEAH, I'LL HOLD.
LAURA: I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHO WE ARE THIS TIME.
OH, LUKE.
LUKE: HMM?
LAURA: "HEROM" GOODLOVE?
[LAURA LAUGHS]
LAURA: THAT'S FUNNY.
LUKE: OH, THAT'S HIRAM.
LAURA: HIRAM.
OH. SORRY.
LUKE: HIRAM GOODLOVE.
LAURA: LET'S SEE.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE
CALLED ME.
IT'S FELICIA.
ORPHEY?
SORRY, IT'S MY MISTAKE.

MAXIE: MOM, I HAVE HOMEWORK.
FELICIA: THIS WON'T TAKE LONG
AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME,
AND I WANT TO STRAIGHTEN
THINGS OUT.
SIT DOWN, PLEASE.
FIRST OF ALL, I JUST
WANT TO SAY --
IT'S OK.
YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY
WITH ME.
BUT I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TRY
TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.
BOY, THIS IS DIFFICULT.
YOU KNOW MAC IS ANGRY WITH ME.
AND I REALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS
IMPORTANT TO TRY TO HELP
A FRIEND, BUT HE DIDN'T EXACTLY
SEE IT THAT WAY.
BUT THE LAST THING THAT EITHER
OF US WANT IS FOR HIS UPSET
WITH ME TO SPILL OVER
TO YOU AND GEORGIE AND HURT
YOU AS WELL.
THAT'S WHY HE MOVED OUT.
MAXIE: I'M NOT GEORGIE, MOM.
I KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
MAC MOVED OUT BECAUSE YOU LEFT
TOWN TO BE WITH LULU'S DAD,
LUKE SPENCER.

FELICIA: YES, I WAS WITH LUKE
SPENCER, BUT THE REASONS ARE
COMPLICATED.
MAXIE: I DON'T THINK IT'S
SO COMPLICATED.
YOU WANTED TO BE WITH
MR. SPENCER INSTEAD OF US.
FELICIA: OH, WHY WOULD
YOU THINK THAT?
MAXIE: BECAUSE
I HEARD MAC TALKING
TO YOU ON THE PHONE,
ASKING YOU TO COME HOME.
AND I HEARD MAC AND MRS. SPENCER
TALKING ABOUT IT.
FELICIA: YOU HEARD THEM?
MAXIE: MRS. SPENCER CAME OVER
HERE.
FELICIA: REALLY?
WELL, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT
THEY SAID, BUT WHATEVER IT WAS,
I'M SURE YOU MISUNDERSTOOD
SOMEHOW, SWEETHEART.
MAXIE: OK.
THEN EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
FELICIA: YOU REMEMBER LUCKY
SPENCER?
MAXIE: YEAH.
FELICIA: LUKE HAS REASON
TO BELIEVE THAT HE MIGHT STILL
BE ALIVE.
MAXIE: LUCKY DIED
IN A FIRE, MOM.
YOU LECTURED US ABOUT CANDLES
FOR WEEKS AFTER.
FELICIA: THAT'S HOW SOMEONE
WANTED IT TO LOOK.
I KNOW IT'S A CRUEL AND TERRIBLE
THING TO DO, MAKING LUKE BELIEVE
THAT HIS SON WAS DEAD ALL THAT
TIME.
BUT SOMEONE WANTED IT TO LOOK
THAT WAY.
SO WHEN HE FOUND OUT THAT IT MAY
NOT BE TRUE, HE NATURALLY WANTED
TO SEARCH FOR HIS SON,
AND I OFFERED TO HELP HIM,
AND HE TOOK ME UP ON IT.
MAXIE: HE COULD'VE ASKED MAC.
HELPING PEOPLE IS MAC'S JOB.
WHY WERE YOU THE ONLY ONE
MR. SPENCER COULD GO TO?
FELICIA: BECAUSE WE'RE
FRIENDS.
AND I WANTED TO HELP HIM.
I WANTED TO HELP HIM.
HE WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME THING
FOR ME IF IT WAS ABOUT
YOU OR GEORGIE.
MAXIE: NO, HE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO BECAUSE MAC WOULD FIND US.
HE'S OUR DAD.
WHY DON'T YOU LOVE HIM ANYMORE?
FELICIA: I DO.
I DO LOVE HIM SO MUCH
AND I LOVE YOU --
MAXIE: STOP.
FELICIA: AND GEORGIE.
COME HERE.
COME HERE.
MAXIE: NO.
FELICIA: IS ANY OF THIS
MAKING SENSE TO YOU AT ALL,
WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU?
MAXIE: LOOK, I REALLY HAVE
HOMEWORK.
CAN I JUST GO UPSTAIRS NOW?
FELICIA: HELLO.
HI, IT'S FELICIA.
IS MAC AROUND?
TELL HIM IT'S IMPORTANT, PLEASE.

LAURA: WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE
WITH YOU?
LUKE: IT WAS A MISTAKE.
THEY JUST FELL IN WITH OURS,
I GUESS.
I'M SORRY.
LAURA: IT'S OK.
LUKE: ROOM SERVICE IS
SWAMPED.
LISTEN, WHY DON'T WE JUST GRAB
A BURGER ON THE WAY TO HELENA'S
YACHT?
LAURA: YOU CAN GET ONE
IF YOU WANT.
I'M NOT REALLY HUNGRY ANYMORE.
LUKE: WHAT CAN I SAY, LAURA?
LAURA: NOTHING.
LET'S FIND OUR SON.
LUKE: LET'S GO.

STEFAN: YOU'RE MY ATTORNEY.
WILL YOU PROTECT ME OR NOT?
ALEXIS: YOU WANT THE BENEFIT
OF MY LEGAL EXPERTISE?
I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.
HERE IT IS.
DON'T LEAVE TOWN.
DON'T GIVE THE POLICE WHAT
THEY WILL PERCEIVE AS
CONFIRMATION OF YOUR GUILT.
NOW CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHO
FINDS LUCKY, AS LONG AS THAT
SOMEBODY DOES?
AND THEN HE'LL BE ABLE
TO EXONERATE YOU AND KEEP
YOU FROM BEING --
STEFAN: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES
IT MAKE?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE,
ALEXIS?
THIS IS ABOUT MY LIFE.
I HAVE SPENT NEARLY HALF
OF MY LIFE LOVING THAT WOMAN.
EVERYTHING I'VE DONE, I DID
TO BE WITH HER.
AND NOW I COULD LOSE HER.
NOW, I TRIED TO EXPLAIN
TO HER WHAT HAPPENED WITH LUCKY.
SHE WON'T BELIEVE ME.
ALEXIS: AND THAT SHOULD GALL
YOU AS MUCH AS IT DOES ME.
YOU HAVE SACRIFICED EVERYTHING
FOR THAT WOMAN, AND SHE WENT
BLITHELY ON WITH HER LIFE
WITH LUKE.
STEFAN: THAT WAS A LONG
TIME AGO.
ALEXIS: ALL RIGHT,HEN LET'S
DISCUSS MORE CURRENT EVENTS.
YOU ALMOST TOOK A MURDER RAP
FOR HER.
DON'T YOU GET CREDIT FOR TIME
SERVED?
HOW DARE SHE DOUBT YOU?
AND WHY ARE YOU SACRIFICING
YOURSELF FOR A WOMAN WHO HAS
THIS MUCH FAITH IN YOU?
STEFAN: I WON'T DENY LAURA'S
LACK OF FAITH DISAPPOINTS ME,
BUT SHE WAS REACTING
EMOTIONALLY.
WHEN I BRING HER SON BACK
TO HER, SHE WON'T DOUBT ME
AGAIN.
NOW, I AM GOING TO FIND LUCKY
WHETHER YOU HELP ME OR NOT.
[ALEXIS SIGHS]
ALEXIS: I'LL HELP YOU.
YOU KNEW THAT OR YOU WOULDN'T
COME HERE.
STEFAN: THANK YOU.
ALEXIS: THIS TIME I WANT
SOMETHING BACK.
YOU ARE TO KEEP IN TOUCH.
IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU,
I'M NOT GOING TO RISK MY CAREER
AND MY REPUTATION ON THE ALTAR
OF LAURA SPENCER.
STEFAN: I'LL CALL.
ALEXIS: I'M ASSUMING THAT
YOU DON'T WANT HER TO KNOW ABOUT
THIS?
STEFAN: LAURA'S MY NEXT STOP.
ALEXIS: YOU'RE -- YOU'RE
GOING TO TELL LAURA?
STEFAN: YES.
ALEXIS: WELL, I'M GOING
TO STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST THAT.
STEFAN: WHY?
ALEXIS: BECAUSE SHE MIGHT GO
TO THE POLICE.
STEFAN: NO, SHE WON'T.
ALEXIS: ARE YOU SURE?
STEFAN: EITHER WAY,
I WON'T LIE TO LAURA.
NOT THIS TIME.
THANK YOU.

ELIZABETH: I'LL GET BACK
TO YOU.
OK, THANK YOU.
BYE.
JUST ALL SEEMS SO TURNED AROUND,
YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, AT FIRST IT WAS
IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT LUCKY
WAS DEAD.
AND NOW --
HOW CAN HE BE ALIVE?
BUT, NIKOLAS,
I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT MAYBE
IT'S TRUE.
NIKOLAS: I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO GET AHOLD OF MY GRANDMOTHER.
I'VE LEFT MESSAGES ALL OVER
TOWN.
NOTHING.
NOW, THAT'S NOT LIKE HER.
HELENA'S ALWAYS BEEN TRYING
TO FIND A WAY IN WITH ME.
ELIZABETH: YOU THINK IT MEANS
SHE HAS LUCKY.
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT EVEN
SURPRISING.
SHE --
SHE IS COLD-BLOODED ENOUGH
AND SHE DEFINITELY HAS
THE RESOURCES.
BUT IT'S ALMOST OVER.
LUKE, LAURA, STEFAN --
EVERYONE'S ONTO HER.
IF HELENA HAS LUCKY, SHE'S NOT
GOING TO KEEP HIM FOR LONG.

HELENA: ANDREAS?
WHERE IS LUCKY?
ANDREAS: I THOUGHT --
HELENA: NO, WHERE IS HE?
I WANT EVERY INCH OF THIS YACHT
SEARCHED.
LUCKY SPENCER CANNOT ESCAPE.

[DOOR OPENS]
FELICIA: HI.
MAC: HI.
FELICIA: THANKSOR GETTING
HERE QUICKLY.
MAC: WHAT'S WRONG WITH MAXIE?
FELICIA: I'VE TRIED
TO EXPLAIN TO HER WHAT HAPPENED,
AND SHE'S SO ANGRY WITH ME.
SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT I LOVE
HER OR GEORGIE.
I KNOW I'VE MADE A LOT
OF MISTAKES, BUT I REALLY LOVE
MY BABIES, AND I DON'T LIKE
TO HEAR HER TALK TO ME LIKE
THAT.
WOULD YOU TALK TO HER?
I KNOW I'M NOT IN THE POSITION
TO ASK YOU TO DO THAT, BUT COULD
YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
PLEASE?
MAC: FELICIA, FELICIA,
OF COURSE I WILL.
WHERE IS SHE?
FELICIA: SHE'S IN HER ROOM.
SHE COULDN'T GET TO HER HOMEWORK
FAST ENOUGH.
MAC: CAN YOU LEAVE US ALONE?
FELICIA: I NEED TO PICK UP
GEORGIE ANYWAY.
MAC: OK.
MAC: HEY, MAXIE, GUESS WHO'S
HERE?
COME ON DOWN.
MAXIE?
HEY!
MAXIE: OH, MY GOSH!
IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!
MAC: MMM!
AND IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MAXIE: IT'S NOT THE SAME
AROUND HERE.
GEORGIE AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
MAC: AND I MISS YOU GUYS.
LISTEN, I AM SORRY ABOUT ALL
THIS.
MAXIE: NO, YOU SHOULDN'T BE
APOLOGIZING.
NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
MOM KEPT LEAVING, SO
YOU COULDN'T STAY.
MAC: LOOK, IT'S NOT THAT
SIMPLE.
MAXIE: I KNOW.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
MAC: YOU'RE AWFULLY MAD
AT FELICIA.
MAXIE: BUT I'M NOT MAD
AT YOU.
YOU'RE THE BEST, MAC.
YOU LOVE ME AND GEORGIE JUST
LIKE WE WERE YOUR REAL
DAUGHTERS.
WE'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
EVEN IF YODON'T WANT TO SEE US
ANYMORE.
MAC: WHAT?
HEY.
OH, ARE YOU KIDDING?
MAXIE, I WILL ALWAYS WANT TO SEE
YOU GUYS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
WITH ME AND YOUR MOM.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
THAT'S IN STONE.
THERE'S ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON
THAT LOVES YOU MORE THAN ME
AND THAT'S FELICIA.
LOOK, I NEED TO MAKE
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

EMILY: WHERE'S MY ADORING
PUBLIC?
NIKOLAS: YOU MEAN ELIZABETH?
EMILY: MM-HMM.
NIKOLAS: SHE HAD TO TAKE SOME
THINGS TO CHLOE.
EMILY: OH.
NIKOLAS: AND WHY DO YOU NEED
AN ADORING PUBLIC?
EMILY: WELL, I GUESS
YOU'LL DO.
OK, HOW WOULD L&B'S DIRECTOR
OF P.R. LIKE TO HEAR ITS BIGGEST
AND NEWEST STAR?
NIKOLAS: YOU MEAN JUAN?
EMILY: YES.
HE'S SINGING FOR NED LATER
AND HE KIND OF NEEDS SOME
PRACTICE, YOU KNOW?
NOT WITH SINGING.
HE'S GOT THAT COMPLETELY
COVERED.
HE JUST NEEDS PRACTICE IN FRONT
OF OTHER PEOPLE, YOU KNOW?
BESIDES ME.
NIKOLAS: SURE.
I'LL LISTEN.
JUAN: NICE GOING.
EMILY: WHAT --
JUAN, WAIT A MINUTE.
I JUST HAVE A BIG MOUTH.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO -- WAIT --
STEFAN: ARE WE ALONE?
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
ANY SIGN OF LUCKY?
STEFAN: THE POLICE FOUND
HELENA'S YACHT DOCKED
IN MANHATTAN.
I'M ON MY WAY THERE NOW.
I WANTED TO TELL YOUR MOTHER,
BUT SHE WASN'T AT HOME.
NIKOLAS: YEAH, SHE ALREADY
LEFT TOWN.
WITH LUKE.

LUKE: THANK YOU,
OFFICER, WE'LL JUST TAKE A QUICK
LOOK AROUND.
WON'T TAKE LONG.
LAURA: I'D FORGOTTEN HOW
CONVINCING YOU CAN BE.
LUKE: WOMAN, BITE
YOUR TONGUE.
LAURA: OH, I KNOW, SILLY ME.
LUKE: ALL RIGHT, WE DON'T
HAVE MUCH TIME.
LAURA: YEAH, AND WE DON'T
REALLY EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR, DO WE?
LUKE: THAT'S RIGHT.
SO LET'S GET STARTED.
HELENA: LUCKY, I'M
DISAPPOINTED.
NOW, I THOUGHT WE WERE PAST
THESE SILLY ESCAPE ATTEMPTS.
LUCKY: I WASN'T TRYING
TO ESCAPE.
I WENT TO THE DECK FOR SOME AIR.
YOU WOULD, TOO, IF YOU'D BEEN
COOPED UP IN A GRAY ROOM
FOR MONTHS.

ANDREAS: IT'S TRUE, MADAM.
MASTER SPENCER WAS STARING
AT THE SKY.
HE'S PUT UP NO RESISTANCE.
HELENA: WELL, THANK YOU,
ANDREAS.
WELL, MY APOLOGIES,
LUCKY, IF I MISREAD
YOUR INTENTIONS.
LUCKY: NO PROBLEM.
HELENA: BUT IN THE FUTURE,
YOU MUST ASK PERMISSION TO GO
WANDERING.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
LUCKY: I'LL REMEMBER.
I KNOW WHERE WE ARE NOW.
HELENA: OH, YOU THINK SO?
LUCKY: ON THE INDIAN OCEAN.
HELENA: NOW WHAT GAVE
YOU THAT IMPRESSION?
LUCKY: I CAN READ
THE CONSTELLATIONS.
HELENA: WELL, MY, MY, MY, MY.
YOU ARE RESOURCEFUL.
WELL, IN ANY EVENT, I PROMISED
YOU THAT YOUR COOPERATION WOULD
NOT GO UNREWARDED.
I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

NED: SORRY I'M LATE.
GRANDFATHER IS RELENTLESS.
ALEXIS: UP AGAINST
THE FULL-COURT PRESS?
NED: OH, THANK YOU.
YES.
ACCORDING TO GRANDFATHER,
E.L.Q. IS ON THE VERGE
OF COLLAPSE.
NEAR FINANCIAL RUIN.
ALEXIS: YOU NEVER DID TELL ME
HOW A.J. THOROUGHLY CRASHED
AND BURNED.
NED: I ASSUMED YOU KNEW.
ALEXIS: ME?
NED: TURNS OUT SONNY HAS
PROOF THAT A.J. HIRED SOMEONE
TO SET FIRE TO JASON'S
WAREHOUSE.
AND HE USED IT TO BLACKMAIL
HIM -- NOT ONLY INTO LETTING
CARLY GO WITH MICHAEL,
BUT INTO GIVING UP ALL CLAIM
TO HIS CHILD AS WELL.
AND THIS IS WHERE I THOUGHT
OF YOU, ALEXIS.
AND I'M VERY SERIOUS.
SONNY SHOWED UP WITH A HANDY
LEGAL DOCUMENT ALL READY
FOR A.J. TO SIGN.
ALEXIS: GUILTY AS CHARGED.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO BRING UP
THE SUBJECT FIRST.
NED: MM-HMM.
WELL, LISTEN, I'M NOT THRILLED
THAT CARLY HASOLE CUSTODY
OF THIS CHILD.
BUT A.J. BROUGHT IT ON HIMSELF.
HE'S NOTHING IF NOT CONSISTENT.
HIS PATTERN NEVER CHANGES.
HE RAISES THE FAMILY'S HOPES
WITH HIS TEMPORARY BOUTS
OF SOBRIETY, WEASELING
INTO A POSITION WHERE PEOPLE
START TRUSTING HIM AGAIN.
AND THEN OF COURSE, HE JUST
CRASH-LANDS.
LEAVING EVERYONE LOOKING
AT THE BIG MESS TO CLEAN UP.
ALEXIS: SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
SUSPICIOUSLY REACHING
FOR THE BROOM.
NED: HONESTLY?
I'M TEMPTED.
ALEXIS: OH, HONEY.
NED: I -- I -- GRANDFATHER
KNOWS EXACTLY WHICH BUTTONS
TO PUSH.
ALEXIS: YOU DIDN'T SIGN
ANYTHING, DID YOU?
NED: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
AND YOU WOULD'VE BEEN PROUD
OF ME.
I HELD MY GROUND.
NOT ONCE DID I FLINCH.
ALEXIS: SELF-CONTROL.
GOT ANY TO SPARE?
NED: AM I AFRAID TO ASK?
ALEXIS: STEFAN.
HE'S IN TROUBLE AGAIN, AND I'M
DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP.

STEFAN: LAURA LEFT TOWN
WITH LUKE?
YOU KNOW THIS FOR A FACT?
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
STEFAN: WELL, I CAN'T SAY
THAT I'M SURPRISED.
I JUST THOUGHT I'D HAVE MORE
TIME.
NIKOLAS: TIME?
TIME FOR WHAT?
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS
FINDING MY BROTHER.
STEFAN: YOU THINK I'M GUILTY.
I REALIZE THAT.
BUT ONCE YOU AND YOUR MOTHER
HEAR FROM LUCKY'S OWN MOUTH THAT
I HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH HIS KIDNAPPING, YOU'LL SEE
THAT YOU'VE MISJUDGED ME.

LUKE: BABY, YOU'VE BEEN
THROUGH THAT DRAWER THREE TIMES.
WE'VE GOT TO GET OFF THE BOAT.
LAURA: NO.
THIS BOAT IS THE ONLY LEAD
WE HAVE TO OUR SON.
I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE UNTIL
WE'VE FOUND SOMETHING.
LUKE: HEY, MAYBE WE HAVE.
LAURA: WHAT?
IT'S JUST A MODEL OF A SHIP.
LUKE: YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT THIS
YACHT.
LOOK, THIS HAS WINDOWS.
THIS SHIP HAS PORTHOLES.
THERE'S THREE DECKS HERE INSTEAD
OF TWO.
LAURA: YEAH.
SO?
LUKE: WELL, LOOK AT THIS.
LOOK AT THIS SHIP, LAURA.
THERE'S SOMETHING FAMILIAR
ABOUT IT.
WE'VE SEEN THIS SHIP BEFORE.

MAC: FELICIA'S NOT PERFECT.
NEITHER AM I.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE?
NEITHER ARE YOU.
HEY, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK
ABOUT IT, THE WORLD WOULD BE
A PRETTY BORING PLACE IF NO ONE
EVER MADE A MISTAKE.
THAT'S HOW WE LEARN AND GROW.
BUT I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER ONE
THING -- YOU AND GEORGIE ARE
EVERYTHING TO FELICIA.
YOU GUYS ALWAYS COME FIRST
WITH HER.
MAXIE: THAT'S NOT TRUE, MAC.
IF IT WERE, MOM WOULDN'T KEEP
LEAVING US.
SHE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE
YOU SO MAD THAT YOU HAD
TO LEAVE.
IT'S NOT FAIR FOR HER TO GIVE US
A DAD AND THEN SEND HIM AWAY.
MAC: HEY, I WILL NEVER BE
AWAY FM YOU, MAXIE, EVER.
NOT IN MY HEART.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
A GIFT IT'S BEEN FOR ME
TO WATCH YOU GROW --
FROM A TEENY, TEENY,
LITTLE TADPOLE
INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL,
TO SEE HOW YOU'VE BECOME JUST
LIKE YOUR MOM.
MAXIE: I AM NOT LIKE HER.
MAC: HEY, YES, YOU ARE.
YES, YOU ARE.
AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT,
ABSOLUTELY.
FELICIA DIDN'T HURT US
INTENTIONALLY.
SHE WAS JUST HELPING A FRIEND.
LOOK, I MAY NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT
IT, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
I DON'T KNOW HER INTENTIONS WERE
GOOD.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IN A WEIRD WAY, HER BEING ABLE
TO LEAVE LIKE THAT,
WELL, IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT
THE FAMILY THAT WE BUILT
TOGETHER.
MAXIE: HOW?
MAC: FELICIA -- SHE FELT FREE
TO HELP LUKE GO AFTER LUCKY
BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT WE,
HER GIRLS, WOULD BE OK
IF SHE TOOK OFF FOR A WHILE.
I MEAN, THE BOTTOM LINE IS
FELICIA ACTED OUT OF GENEROSITY
OF SPIRIT.
AND --
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO THE SAME
AND FORGIVE HER.
CAN YOU DO THAT, MAXIE?
MAXIE: CAN YOU?
[DOOR OPENS]
GEORGIE: MAC!
YOU CAME HOME!
MAC: HI!
GEORGIE: WE CAN HAVE
SPAGHETTI TONIGHT.
MAC: OH. HMM.
MAC: YOU KNOW WHAT?
TONIGHT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT
NIGHT FOR SCORPIO SPAGHETTI,
AS LONG AS I GET SOME HELP
FROM MY MUNCHKINS IN
THE KITCHEN.
GEORGIE: I'LL SET THE TABLE.
MAC: OK.
MAXIE: I'LL BOIL SOME WATER.
MAC: OK.
FELICIA: I HATE TO THROW
A DAMPER ON THINGS, BUT WE'RE
OUT OF SPAGHETTI SAUCE.
MAC: YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK
WE SHOULD DO?
I THINK WE SHOULD GO
TO THE STORE.
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
MAXIE: COME ON, GEORGIE.
HELP ME FIND MY COAT.

NED: LUCKY SPENCER IS ALIVE?
ALEXIS: I KNOW.
TAKES A MINUTE.
NED: WHAT -- DOES EMILY KNOW?
I MEAN, THEY WERE, LIKE,
GOOD FRIENDS.
ALEXIS: NO. NO, NO.
I THINK THE SPENCERS WANT
TO KEEP IT UNDER WRAPS UNTIL
THEY'RE CERTAIN THAT THEY HAVE
HIM BACK.
NED: AND HOW DOES STEFAN
FIT IN?
ALEXIS: ONCE STEFAN FOUND OUT
THAT HELENA HAD TAKEN LUCKY,
HE DECIDED HE ALONE COULD EFFECT
THE RESCUE.
HE WANTED TO BE THE ONE TO BRING
LAURA BACK HER SON.
HE'S OBSESSED.
THERE'S NO REASONING WITH HIM.
AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, HE DID FIND
LUCKY.
AND HE WAS ABOUT TO BRING HIM
HOME, BUT BEFORE HE GOT AWAY,
HELENA SWOOPED DOWN AND SNATCHED
HIM BACK.
AND, I KNOW, IT GETS EVEN WORSE.
THEN LUKE FOUND OUT THAT LUCKY'S
ALIVE, SO HE SET OUT ON HIS OWN
SEARCH FOR HIM ONLY TO SPOT HIM
THE SPLIT SECOND THAT LUCKY WAS
WITH STEFAN.
SO NOW LUKE AND THE POLICE
AND EVERYONE THINK THAT STEFAN
IS INVOLVED IN A KIDNAPPING
CONSPIRACY.
NED: AND, PLEASE, DON'T TELL
ME THAT YOU HAVE AGREED
TO REPRESENT STEFAN.
ALEXIS: OK, I WON'T.
WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?
NED: YOU TELL HIM NO!
I MEAN, WHAT HAS STEFAN EVER
DONE FOR YOU EXCEPT TREAT
YOU LIKE DIRT OR BREAK
YOUR HEART?
ALEXIS: YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE,
SHOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID
HERE.
I MEAN, HE'S MY BROTHER.
AND HE IS -- HE'S FALLEN APART,
AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY NO.
NED: JUST DON'T EXPECT TOO
MUCH.
ALEXIS: I WON'T.
EMILY: HEY.
ELIZABETH: HEY.
EMILY: YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT THIS PLACE?
ELIZABETH: HMM?
EMILY: PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS
COMING AND GOING.
AND THEN COMING BACK AGAIN.
YOU KNOW WHERE NIKOLAS IS?
ELIZABETH: HE LEFT.
EMILY: OH, THAT MEANS JUAN
CAN COME OUT OF HIS HIDING
PLACE.
HE WAS REALLY UPSET THAT I TRIED
TO MAKE HIM SING FOR NIKOLAS.
ELIZABETH: LUCKY WAS LIKE
THAT, REMEMBER?
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME
YOU WANTED TO LISTEN
TO THE RADIO, BUT YOU PLAYED
HIS TAPE ACCIDENTALLY?
EMILY: OH, YEAH.
ELIZABETH: UH-HUH.
EMILY: HE PRACTICALLY
LEVITATED OFF THE FLOOR.
ELIZABETH: YEAH.
EMILY: YOU KNOW, I STILL
THINK THAT'S THE MOST ROMANTIC
THING THAT HE'S EVER DONE.
ELIZABETH: WHAT IF HE'S
REALLY OUT THERE, EM?
WHAT IF LUKE AND LAURA REALLY
BRING HIM BACK?
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT --
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT BACK
IN MY HEAD TRYING TO GET
IN TOUCH WITH HOW I FELT.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS DEAD.
HE NEVER REALLY FELT GONE TO ME.
YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU --
WILL YOU PLEASE STOP ME WHEN
I DO THIS?
BECAUSE --
EMILY: WHY, ELIZABETH?
ELIZABETH: BECAUSE MIRACLES
LIKE THIS DON'T HAPPEN.
IT'S TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR.
EMILY: YEAH, BUT YOU'RE
STARTING TO BELIEVE IT,
AREN'T YOU?
ELIZABETH: YEAH, I AM.

LAURA: OK, I GUESS
WE COULD'VE SEEN IT SOMEWHERE
BEFORE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
LUKE: LAURA, I WAS ON THIS
YACHT ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
THIS MODEL WASN'T HERE.
LAURA: ARE YOU SURE?
LUKE: YEAH, I'M SURE.
MAYBE THE QUEEN OF DARKNESS LEFT
IT FOR US TO FIND.
LAURA: WELL, IF SHE DID,
THEN WE MUST'VE SEEN IT BEFORE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
LUKE,
THIS WAS OURS, WASN'T IT?
THIS IS THE ONE THAT --
LUKE: THE HAUNTED STAR.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

NED: WELL, NOW --
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
ALEXIS: WHAT?
NED: YOU'RE NOT WEARING JAX'S
WEDDING RING.
ALEXIS: OH -- YEAH,
I -- I TOOK IT OFF WHEN WE TOLD
HIS PARENTS THAT WE WERE GETTING
DIVORCED.
NED: OH.
ALEXIS: OH.
NED: WELL, I LIKE IT.
HAVE YOU, UM, EVER
THOUGHT ABOUT
TAKING -- MOVING THAT RING OVER
TO THIS HAND?
ALEXIS: IT'S CROSSED MY MIND.
NED: SO DO YOU WANT TO?
ALEXIS: WHAT?
NED: WHAT I JUST ASKED.
ALEXIS: DO YOU?
NED: I ASKED YOU FIRST.
ALEXIS: AREN'T WE MATURE.
NED: NO, JUST VERY NEUROTIC.
ALEXIS: IS THAT A PROPOSAL?
NED: YES.
ALEXIS: THAT'S MY LINE.
NED: IS THAT YOUR ANSWER?
ALEXIS: YES.
ALEXIS: ARE WE ENGAGED?
NED: NOT YET.
NED: NOW WE'RE ENGAGED.
[ALEXIS LAUGHS]


OFFICER: SO, WHEN DID YOU SAY
YOU OFFERED YOUR BID ON IS
BOAT, MR. STEVENS?
STEFAN: A FEW MONTHS AGO.
OFFICER: WELL, I PROBABLY
SHOULDN'T BE TELLING TALES,
BUT A COUPLE SHOWED UP HERE
TODAY.
SAID THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY
HER FOR OVER A YEAR.
STEFAN: HMM.
OFFICER: WELL, GOOD LUCK
ANYWAY.

LAURA: ARE YOU SURE THAT
THAT'S REALLY THE HAUNTED STAR?
LUKE: THAT'S IT, BABY.
I HAD MY CLUB ON THIS BOAT.
IN FACT, RIGHT UP THERE IS WHERE
MY STATEROOM WAS.
LAURA: BUT WHY WOULD HELENA
HAVE A MODEL OF THIS BOAT?
OH, YOU SAID THAT MIKKOS
ORIGINALLY OWNED IT, RIGHT?
LUKE: RIGHT.
LAURA: SO --
LUKE: SENTIMENTAL REASONS?
NAH.
LAURA: MAYBE SHE OWNS IT NOW.
LUKE: MAYBE SHE TRACKED IT
DOWN AFTER I SOLD IT.
I WONDER WHY.
SOMETHING TELLS ME, WE FIND THIS
BOAT, WE FIND OUT SON.

HELENA: WELL.
YOU ARE QUITE THE SWIMMER.
LUCKY: IT WAS SOMETHING THAT
I MISSED LAST SUMMER.
YOU WERE VERY NICE TO LET ME GO.
HELENA: OH, I TOLD YOU,
LUCKY, YOUR COOPERATION WILL BE
REWARDED.
INCREMENTALLY, PERHAPS.
LUCKY: I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
HELENA: NO, YOU'RE NOT.
AND THAT TELLS ME THAT WE ARE
TRULY STARTING TO UNDERSTAND
AND APPRECIATE ONE ANOTHER.
YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY BEGINNING
TO REGRET THE THOUGHT OF LETTING
YOU GO.
PERHAPS I'LL KEEP YOU INSTEAD.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WOULDN'T DO.
OH, WE'LL PROCEED AS SCHEDULED.

MAC: NICE OF THE RLS
TO VOLUNTEER CLEAN-UP DUTY.
FELICIA: I THINK YOU PROBABLY
COULD'VE GOTTEN THEM TO DO JUST
ABOUT ANYTHING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IT REALLY HELPED A LOT.
IT WAS GOOD HAVING YOU HERE.
EVEN IF IT WAS JUST FOR DINNER.
MAC: YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.
THERE'S A LOT MORE AT STAKE HERE
THAN JUST MY HURT FEELINGS.
AND TO WALK AWAY JUST DOESN'T
FEEL RIGHT.
SO I'M WILLING TO GIVE IT
ANOTHER SHOT.
FELICIA: WHAT? YOU ARE?
REALLY?
MAC: I'LL COME HOME,
IF YOU STILL WANT ME.
FELICIA: WELL, OF COURSE
I DO.
I LOVE YOU.
MAC: FELICIA, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
IT COMES WITH A HUGE CONDITION
AND YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE IT.
NO MORE SPENCER.
NO CALLS.
YOU CAN'T SEE HIM.
NO MEETING HIM DOWN
AT THE DOCKS, OK?
I DON'T CARE WHAT HIS
PROBLEM IS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT HE ASKS
YOU TO DO.
FELICIA: WELL, IF LUCKY IS
ALIVE --
MAC: LUCKY IS LUKE'S FAMILY.
THE GIRLS AND I ARE YOUR FAMILY.
IT'S UP TO YOU.
FELICIA: YEAH.
OF COURSE.
IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT.
ABSOLUTELY, I PROMISE --
NO MORE LUKE.

>> STAY TUNED FOR SCENES FROM
THE NEXT "GENERAL HOSPITAL."

>> ON THE NEXT
"GENERAL HOSPITAL" --

JUAN: MAYBE L&B ISN'T
THE PLACE FOR ME.
EMILY: WHAT?

SONNY: YOU READY TO GO?
BECAUSE I GOT A LAWYER WE GOT
TO MEET AT THE COURTHOUSE.
