CHLOE: YOU'RE HOME.
JAX: HEY.
I TAKE IT THIS MEANS YOU'RE
FEELING BETTER.
CHLOE: I AM NOW. HI.
JAX: OH.
CHLOE: I WAS WORRIED ABOUT
YOU.
JAX: I WISH YOU WOULDN'T.
I CAN HANDLE HELENA.
CHLOE: YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
JAX, WOULD YOU PLEASE CHANGE
YOUR MIND?
WOULD YOU PLEASE STAY AWAY
FROM HER?
JAX: I CAN'T.
OK, HELENA CONTROLS ACCESS
TO THE DRUG THAT COULD SAVE
YOUR SIGHT.
AND I HAVE EVERY INTENTION
OF GETTING THAT, CHLOE.
I MEAN, SINCE SHE WON'T SELL US
ANYTHING -- THE CONGLOMERATE,
THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY,
OR EVEN ONE SINGLE PILL -- I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A MORE
PERSONAL APPROACH, OK?
CHLOE: SO, FORGET THE DAMN
DRUG.
MY EYESIGHT IS NOT WORTH
YOUR LIFE.
IT'S NOWHERE NEAR BEING
EQUITABLE.
JAX: IT WON'T COME TO THAT.
CHLOE: YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
HELENA HAS ALREADY TRIED TO KILL
YOU.
THAT'S WHAT THIS WOMAN DOES.
SHE SLITS THROATS,
SHE RUNS PEOPLE DOWN
WITH CARS --
THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE KNOW
ABOUT.
YOU CAN'T GET PERSONAL
WITH HELENA CASSADINE.
JAX: YOU FINISHED?
CHLOE: NO.
I HAVE MY OWN UNFORTUNATE
EXPERIENCE TO DRAW FROM HERE.
I AM HER VERSION OF AN ACCIDENT.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN INTEND
TO KILL ME.
AND WE'RE HAVING THIS
CONVERSATION BECAUSE SHE MOWED
ME DOWN WITH HER CAR.
I DON'T WANT TIRE TRACKS
ON THE MAN I LOVE, OK?
JAX: LOOK, IF I DON'T MAKE
INROADS WITH HELENA, YOU COULD
LOSE YOUR EYESIGHT, OK?
SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER THERE,
I'M GOING TO PAY HER A VISIT,
AND I'LL LIVE TO TELL YOU ALL
ABOUT IT.

FELICIA: I'M GOING TO ASSUME
THAT YOU ASKED ME A RHETORICAL
QUESTION AND THAT I DIDN'T JUST
HEAR YOU THREATEN TO TAKE
MY GIRLS AWAY ON SOME KIND
OF PERMANENT BASIS.
BECAUSE IF YOU MEANT ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, WE'RE ENEMIES.
AND I'LL FIGHT YOU.
I'LL FIGHT YOU WITH EVERYTHING
I'VE GOT.
MAC: YOU KNOW WHAT, FELICIA?
I AM PAST THE POINT OF CARING
WHETHER OR NOT I MAKE YOU MAD.
MAXIE AND GEORGIE HAVE BEEN
BEGGING TO LIVE WITH ME.
OR TO LIVE WITH MARIAH IN TEXAS.
THEY WANT TO BE ANYWHERE
BUT HERE.
AND YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A MOTHER WHO
IS OUT OF CONTROL, AND IT SCARES
THEM.
THAT'S WHY MAXIE PUNCHED THAT
BOY IN SCHOOL TODAY,
FELICIA, BECAUSE SHE'S SCARED.
SHE'S A SCARED LITTLE GIRL WHO
IS WATCHING HER LIFE
DISINTEGRATE IN FRONT
OF HER EYES.
SHE HAS ALL THESE FEELINGS
BUILDING INSIDE SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH, SO SOMETHING
WAS BOUND TO GIVE.
AND IT WOULD BE NICE
IF YOU COULD'VE BEEN AROUND
TO DEFLECT ALL THAT INSTEAD
OF WORRYING ABOUT THE NEXT TIME
YOU COULD MAKE A BEELINE
FOR YOUR LOVER.
FELICIA: WELL, IF YOU'D JUST
GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.
MAC: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR
YOUR EXPLANATIONS.
IT WOULDN'T MATTER.
EXPLAINING WOULDN'T MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
I WOULDN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING
YOU WOULD HAVE TO SAY.
WOW.
SPENCER HAS ACCOMPLISHED
SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT WOULD
HAPPEN.
HE'S MADE A LIAR OUT OF YOU.
FELICIA: WOULD YOU CARE
TO ADD MORE?
BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO BE
ON A ROLL.
MAC: WELL, I CAN SEE THAT
YOU'RE HURTING.
BUT I CAN'T HELP THAT.
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICES,
FELICIA, AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THEM.
THOSE GIRLS ARE ANOTHER STORY.
YEAH.
THEM -- THEM I CAN HELP.
AND IF IT MEANS REMOVING THEM
FROM YOUR UNBELIEVABLE
INDIFFERENCE, WELL, I'M ALL OVER
THAT.

ELIZABETH: LUCKY, WHAT ARE
YOU SAYING?
SURE, NIKOLAS MAKES ME HAPPY.
WE'RE FRIENDS.
LUCKY: I KNOW.
THAT'S WHAT GOT ME STARTED
THINKING ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING.
NIKOLAS IS A GREAT GUY,
AND HE GETS YOU.
YOU ALWAYS SAID THAT MOST PEOPLE
DON'T.
ELIZABETH: YEAH, WELL, I SAID
THAT BECAUSE YOU DO.
LUCKY: SO DOES NIKOLAS.
COME ON, NAME ONE GUY YOU'RE
CLOSER TO.
ELIZABETH: I CAN'T.
SO -- SO, WHAT, YOU'RE TELLING
ME THAT I SHOULD FALL IN LOVE
WITH NIKOLAS?
THAT'S CRAZY.
LUCKY: WHY?
FRIENDS FALL IN LOVE ALL
THE TIME.
ELIZABETH: I'M ALREADY
IN LOVE.
WITH YOU AND ONLY YOU.
LUCKY: WELL, WE CAN'T GO BACK
TO THAT, ELIZABETH.
YOU AND I --
WE CAN'T HAVE WHAT WE HAD.
BUT I THINK NIKOLAS CAN MAKE
YOU HAPPY.
ELIZABETH: STOP SAYING THAT.
I WANT YOU, LUCKY.
AND DEEP DOWN INSIDE,
I KNOW YOU WANT ME, TOO.

HELENA: POOR STEFAN.
DOES THE PICTURE HURT
YOUR FEELINGS?
SEEING YOUR MOTHER IN A REAL
MATERNAL MOMENT IS MORE THAN
YOU CAN BEAR?
STEFAN: YOU HAVE TO ADMIT,
THE SIGHT IS AS RARE AS IT IS
REMARKABLE.
HELENA: OH, TO YOU PERHAPS,
SINCE YOU'VE NEVER INSPIRED SUCH
FEELINGS, NEVER FILLED MY HEART
WITH SHEER DELIGHT.
FORTUNATELY, AS YOU CAN SEE,
YOU WERE THE EXCEPTION,
NOT THE RULE.
STEFAN: YOU WON'T DEFLECT ME
WITH OUR SORRY HISTORY, MOTHER.
YOU DID SOMETHING TO LUCKY
SPENCER'S MIND.
PROBABLY THE SAME THING YOU DID
TO KATHERINE BELL.
UPPED A NOTCH OR TWO, I WOULD
IMAGINE.
ANYONE FOR CHESS?

[SONNY SIGHS]
SONNY: OH, MAN.
I'M SO -- YOU KNOW, I --
OH, MAN.
I BOUGHT THE CRADLE WEEKS AGO.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO SURPRISE YOU.
I JUST -- I FORGOT.
CARLY: HOW LITTLE IT IS.
SONNY: I FIGURED, YOU KNOW,
THE BABY --
COULD BE CLOSE TO THE BED.
THAT WAY, IF WE WANTED TO TOUCH
HIM -- I DON'T KNOW.
AH!
CARLY: HE'D BE SAFE
NEXT TO US.
CARLY: WHY?
WHY DID WE HAVE TO LOSE
OUR BABY?

FELICIA: I HAVE MADE
MISTAKES.
BUT I HAVE NEVER STOPPED LOVING
MY GIRLS, AND THEY KNOW THAT.
I EXPECT YOU NOT TO GET
IN THE WAY OF MY WORKING THINGS
OUT WITH THEM.
MAC: IN THE WAY?
FELICIA, I'VE DEFENDED YOU OVER
AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL I'M SICK
OF HEARING MYSELF.
WHATEVER LOVE YOU'VE HELD
ON TO WITH THOSE GIRLS IS
BECAUSE OF ME.
FELICIA: AND NOW YOU WANT
TO TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME?
WELL, MAC, THAT JUST DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL.
MAC: FELICIA, IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT YOU REALLY DON'T SEE
YOURSELF AS OBSESSED?
YOU ARE ALL LUKE ALL THE TIME.
IF YOU WERE THE MOTHER THAT
MAXIE AND GEORGIE NEEDED,
YOU WOULD HAVE DROPPED HIM
MONTHS AGO.
BUT, NO, YOU JUST CAN'T GIVE
THIS GUY UP.
FORGET THAT OUR MARRIAGE WAS
FALLING APART.
I MEAN, YOU FINALLY CAME BACK
LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THAT THERE
WAS A PROBLEM, AND YOU STILL
KEPT HAVING AN AFFAIR
WITH SPENCER.
FELICIA: MAC, IT'S CLEAR THAT
LUKE IS A MAJOR ISSUE BETWEEN
YOU AND ME.
MAYBE WE'LL WORK IT OUT
AND MAYBE WE WON'T.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.
BUT FOR YOU TO PUT THOSE GIRLS
BETWEEN US AND TO USE THEM
BECAUSE YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME,
WELL, THAT'S JUST NOT LIKE YOU.
THAT'S CRUEL AND THAT'S
HEARTLESS.
THEY ARE MY BABIES,
AND THEY WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST
TO ME.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
MAC: YEAH, WELL,
SEE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
AND THOSE GIRLS HAVE BEEN HURT
ENOUGH.
FELICIA: YOU'RE NOT TAKING
THE GIRLS FROM ME!

STEFAN: I KNOW IT ALL,
MOTHER.
HOW YOU ALIGNED YOURSELF
WITH CESAR FAISON, A MASTER
OF MIND CONTROL.
HOW YOU PAID HIM A KING'S RANSOM
TO SPEND THE BETTER PART
OF A YEAR BRAINWASHING LUCKY,
WHO NOW TAKES ALL HIS CUES
FROM YOU.
HELENA: WELL, CLEARLY
YOU HAVE NO -- NO REAL KNOWLEDGE
OF THAT BOY.
NOT AT ALL.
NO, LUCKY SPENCER IS
INDEPENDENT.
FIERCLY SO.
AND HIS SPIRIT IS SOMETHING
TO BEHOLD.
NOT THAT I'D EXPECT
YOU TO RECOGNIZE SUCH A QUALITY
NOR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
BUT TAKE MY WORD.
ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY CAN
TAMPER WITH LUCKY SPENCER'S
BRAIN -- IT'S LAUGHABLE.
STEFAN: BUT LOOK WHO'S NOT
LAUGHING.
YOU TURNED LUKE AND LAURA'S ONLY
N AGAINST THEM.
THE CHILD THEY MOURNED
FOR A YEAR IS MIRACULOUSLY BACK
FROM THE DEAD AND WANTS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THEM.
I HAVE TO HAND IT TO YOU,
MOTHER.
THAT WAS PURE GENIUS.
IN ONE GRAND GESTURE,
YOU ENSURED THAT LUKE AND LAURA
WILL SUFFER SOME MEASURE OF PAIN
EVERY DAY FOR THE REST
OF THEIR LIVES.
OH, BUT THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH
FOR YOU, WAS IT?
NO, YOU HAD TO MAKE SURE
THEY UNDERSTOOD JUST HOW MUCH
THEY'D LOST BY LEADING THEM
ON A PERVERSE NOSTALGIA TOUR,
WHICH, FOR GOOD MEASURE, COST ME
LAURA, TOO.
HELENA: MY.
HOW IMPRESSIVE OF ME.
AND HOW TYPICALLY BOORISH
OF YOU.
WHINING YET AGAIN ABOUT
YOUR LOSS OF LAURA.
OH, MY POOR, SPINELESS SON WHO
CAN'T EVEN KEEP THE LOVE
OF A PEASANT, AND SOMEHOW IT'S
MY FAULT?
I DIDN'T MAKE YOU LOSE LAURA.
YOU DID THAT ALL ON YOUR OWN.
GIVE ME THAT BACK.
STEFAN: ISN'T IT TRUE THAT
IN AMERICA POSSESSION IS
9/10 OF THE LAW?
ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM, MOTHER,
WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

ELIZABETH: OK, YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO HELP ME OUT HERE.
WHERE DID THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT
ME AND NIKOLAS COME FROM?
LUCKY: I JUST WANT YOU TO BE
HAPPY.
ELIZABETH: I AM.
HAPPIER THAN I'VE BEEN
IN THE PAST YEAR.
AND YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE YOU ARE ALIVE.
HAVING YOU BACK IS LIKE THE MOST
AMAZING MIRACLE.
BEING ABLE TO LOOK INTO
YOUR EYES AGAIN?
WHY WOULD YOU EVER THINK THAT
I'D SUBSTITUTE YOUR BROTHER
FOR YOU OR THAT NIKOLAS WOULD
EVEN WANT OR ALLOW SUCH A THING?
LUY: ALL I'M SAYING IS
YOU AND NIKOLAS WOULD WORK.
YOU GUYS ALREADY LOVE EACH
OTHER.
ELIZABETH: WELL, NOT THAT
WAY.
AND WE WORK.
YOU AND I.
MAYBE NOT SO GREAT RIGHT NOW,
BUT WE KNOW HOW TO GET THERE.
DON'T YOU REMEMBER ALL
THE THINGS WE WENT THOUGH?
I MEAN, DO YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT
US AT ALL?
LUCKY: I TRY NOT TO.
THERE'S REALLY NO POINT.
ELIZABETH: WELL, I CAN'T
HELP IT.
WE WERE ORPHANS.
I'D BEEN RAPED.
YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT
YOUR PARENTS, AND YOU MOVED OUT.
WE WERE MISSING THESE ESSENTIAL
PIECES EXCEPT WHEN WE WERE
TOGETHER.
THEN WE WERE WHOLE AGAIN.
LUCKY: THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
ELIZABETH: YOU KEEP SAYING
THAT.
LUCKY: IT'S TRUE.
ELIZABETH: I KNOW.
FOR YOU.
AND I CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
HOW THIS ALL HAPPENED.
I MEAN, YOU HARDLY TALK ABOUT
THIS PAST YEAR.
YOU WERE HELD AGAINST YOUR WILL,
KEPT FROM THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE.
BUT MAYBE IF YOU CAN LET SOME
OF IT OUT WITH SOMEONE
YOU CAN TRUST,
LIKE ME, MAYBE IT'LL START
TO GET BETTER.
OR AT LEAST IT'D CLEAR OUT
A LITTLE SPACE.
REMEMBER HOW THAT USED TO WORK?
I AM STILL A SAFE PLACE
FOR YOU, LUCKY,
AND I ALWAYS WILL BE.
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

CARLY: DID YOU PICK IT OUT
YOURSELF?
SONNY: I WANTED TO GET HIM
SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING HE COULD USE,
SOMETHING THAT WOULD LIGHT UP
YOUR FACE, SOMETHING WE COULD
SIT OVER AND MAKE PLANS ABOUT
WHATEVER, YOU KNOW.
CARLY: WHERE DID YOU GET IT?
SONNY: I WENT TO WYNDHAM'S
AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE
I LIKED.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING LOOKED
THE SAME.
NOT THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW
WHAT -- WHAT A CRADLE IS
SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE, BUT --
CARLY: I DIDN'T LIKE THE ONES
AT WYNDHAM'S, EITHER.
SONNY: THEN I WENT
TO A SPECIALTY SHOP, YOU KNOW,
A BOUTIQUE, WHATEVER YOU CALL
IT, AND THEY MADE
CRADLES TO ORDER.
THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, THE --
BECAUSE --
THAT'S WHY
YOU HAD TO WAIT FOR DELIVERY.
SO THEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED,
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I WENT OUT
OF MY HEAD.
OTHERWISE --
I NEED YOU -- CAN YOU COME HERE
FOR A SECOND?
YOU GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
DONE THIS TO HURT YOU.
CARLY: I DO.
OF COURSE I DO.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
YOU KNOW, I LOVE IT.
IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
I LOVE THE
LITTLE BEARS ON THE HEADBOARD.
SONNY: YEAH, I GOT THAT --
I GOT THAT SPECIAL, YOU KNOW,
FOR HIM AND STUFF.
THEY DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
CARLY: YEAH.
I CAN ALMOST SEE HIM
SLEEPING IN THERE.
SAFE AND HAPPY, YOU KNOW.
THE LITTLE BED THAT HIS DADDY
BOUGHT HIM.
SONNY: I DON'T KNOW,
I SHOULD HAVE --
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER,
YOU KNOW?
CARLY: WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"BETTER"?
SONNY: WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU GET A CRADLE,
YOU TRY TO MAKE IT REAL.
ANYTIME YOU HOPE FOR SOMETHING
TO HAPPEN, PLAN YOUR LIFE AROUND
IT, YOU'RE JUST --
YOU'RE ASKING
FOR THE GROUND TO BE YANKED OUT
FROM UNDER YOU.
CARLY: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
YOU THINK YOU JINXED OUR CHILD
BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT HIM A CRIB?
SONNY: YOU KNOW WHAT?
I USED TO --
I USED TO THINK WE WERE JINXED.
WHEN DID I FORGET?
OHHH.

SONNY: I JUST REALIZED
YOU CAN DRINK NOW.
YOU WANT RED WINE, OR DO
YOU WANT TO JUST JOIN ME
WITH THE STRAIGHT STUFF?
HERE YOU GO.
CARLY: WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY
SO ANGRY?
SONNY: SUDDENLY?
I'VE --
I'VE BEEN ANGRY FOR DAYS.
AREN'T YOU?
CARLY: I'M MOSTLY JUST SAD.
SONNY: WELL, I GUESS IT
HASN'T HIT YOU YET.
CARLY: NO, IT'S HIT ME.
FOR STARTERS, YOU KNOW,
THIS THING IS JUST WRONG.
OUR BABY WAS HEALTHY, SONNY.
THERE'S NO REASON WHY
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE CARRIED
TO TERM, COME HOME, AND MET
HIS BIG BROTHER.
EXCEPT I JUST -- I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST KEEP THINKING THAT
MAYBE THERE WAS
SOMETHING THAT WE COULD HAVE
DONE.
SONNY: LIKE?
CARLY: MORE.
SONNY: OR LESS.
CARLY: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SONNY: WE SHOULD HAVE WALKED
AWAY FROM A.J.
CARLY: "WE"?
DON'T YOU MEAN ME?
THAT NIGHT AT THE QUARTERMAINES'
AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS?
BECAUSE THAT WAS ME.
THAT WASN'T US.
THAT WAS ME WHO KNEW THAT HE WAS
DRUNK AND PUSHED HIS BUTTONS
ANYWAY.
YOU'RE RIGHT, THOUGH.
THIS ISN'T SUDDEN AT ALL, IS IT?
YOU'RE ANGRY BECAUSE YOU PICKED
OUT A CRIB FOR YOUR SON AND IT'S
EMPTY.
AND YOU BLAME ME.

FELICIA: MAC TOLD ME THAT
YOU GOT IN TROUBLE TODAY.
YOU HIT A BOY?
MAXIE, THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU.
I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY.
I THOUGHT THINGS WERE BETTER
AROUND HERE.
MAXIE: IS THAT WHY YOU BARGED
IN WITH OUR DINNER WITH MAC LAST
NIGHT?
YOU FEEL THINGS ARE BETTER,
SO THAT MAKES US A FAMILY AGAIN?
GIVE ME A BREAK.
FELICIA: OK.
SO, ME BARGING INTO YOUR DINNER
LAST NIGHT MADE YOU ANGRY,
AND THEN YOU WOKE UP THIS
MORNING AND YOU FELT ANGRY
AGAIN, SO YOU WENT RIGHT
TO SCHOOL AND YOU BEAT
SOMEBODY UP.
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T HIT ME,
YOU HIT SOMEBODY ELSE.
IS THAT HOW IT WENT?
HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE,
SWEETIE PIE.
YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME, AND WE'RE
GOING TO GET THROUGH IT.
BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR ANGER
OUT ON SOMEBODY ELSE.
AND I KNOW MAC PROBABLY TOLD
YOU THAT BECAUSE WE BOTH FEEL
THE SAME WAY.
MAXIE: DON'T PRETEND THAT
YOU AND MAC ARE JUST LIKE SOME
MARRIED COUPLE.
YOU'RE NOT.
MAC'S GONE, AND I WANT TO GO
WITH HIM.

LUCKY: I TRIED TO ESCAPE
EVERY CHANCE I GOT.
I KNEW YOU WOULD BE TERRIFIED
NOT KNOWING WHERE I'D GONE.
AND I WANTED TO GET BACK
TO YOU SO BAD.
BUT THERE WAS NO ESCAPE.
THE REASON I GOT GRABBED
IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS
BECAUSE OF MY FATHER AND SOME
STUPID DIAMOND SMUGGLING JOB
THAT HAD GONE WRONG.
LIKE I HAD TO GIVE UP MY LIFE
FOR SOMEBODY W WANTED REVENGE
ON MY FATHER.
I GUESS RUNNING MY WHOLE
CHILDHOOD AWAY FROM FRANK
SMITH'S REVENGE WASN'T ENOUGH.
I REALIZED
MY FATHER MADE MY MOTHER
THE LIAR SHE IS
BY RAPING HER AND CONVINCING
HER IT WAS LOVE.
ANYWAY,
AFTER A WHILE, I DIDN'T FEEL
THE SAME WAY ABOUT ANYTHING.
ELIZABETH: INCLUDING ME.
LUCKY: I CARE ABOUT YOU,
ELIZABETH.
NOT THE SAME WAY.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I DON'T
WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LIVE
WITHOUT LOVE BECAUSE I CAN'T
GIVE IT TO YOU.
ELIZABETH: LUCKY,
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE
WHO I LOVE.
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THAT.
AND FOR THE RECORD,
NIKOLAS AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS.
NOTHING MORE.
I CAN'T ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST
FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH
YOU AND INTO IT WITH
YOUR BROTHER.
IT'S -- IT'S JUST WEIRD.
YOU'RE IN MY HEART,
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING
TO STAY WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE
THERE OR NOT.
PERMANENT LOCK, REMEMBER?
LUCKY: SOME THINGS
DON'T CHANGE.
YOU'RE AS STUBBORN AS EVER.
ELIZABETH: THANKS
FOR NOTICING.
LUCKY: I'M RIGHT ABOUT THIS.
JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

JAX: MIND IF INTERRUPT?
HELENA: WELL, THAT DEPENDS.
JAX: I'LL TAKE THAT AS A YES.
HELENA: WELL, YOU'RE ONLY
WELCOME IF YOUR DISPOSITION HAS
IMPROVED.
THE LAST TIME WE MET, YOU WERE
POSITIVELY FOUL.
JAX: BEST BEHAVIOR,
I PROMISE.
HELENA: THEN YOU MUST WANT
SOMETHING.
JAX: A FAVOR,
WHICH YOU WILL GET IN RETURN
OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.
HELENA: INTRIGUING BUT VAGUE.
WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY DO
FOR ME?
JAX: IT'S YOUR CALL.
HELENA: OH, MR. JACKS,
YOU'VE CERTAINLY GOT
MY ATTENTION.

CARLY: OK.
I GOT IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOOK ME
SO LONG.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DO.
PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN
SO -- BEEN SO NICE.
YOU NEVER ONCE SAID IT
OUT LOUD, BUT
YOUR BABY'S DEAD BECAUSE OF ME.
IT'S MY FAULT, RIGHT, SO WE'RE
BACK WHERE WE STARTED?
SONNY: I THOUGHT WE MOVED
BEYOND THAT, CARLY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT --
CARLY: WE'RE BEYOND THAT,
SONNY.
IT IS MY FAULT.
COME ON, IT'S MY FAULT I GOT
PREGNANT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
IT'S MY FAULT THAT I THOUGHT
THAT, WHAT, A.J. COULD BE
A FATHER TO THAT CHILD
FOR A SECOND?
IT'S MY FAULT THAT I HATED LIFE
WITH THE QUARTERMAINES SO MUCH
THAT I WAS WILLING TO DO
WHATEVER IT TOOK TO GET OUT
OF THERE.
BECAUSE THE FACT IS
IF I'D STAYED PUT IN THAT HELL
HOUSE, A.J. WOULD STILL BE
SOBER.
THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A FIGHT
AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.
AND YOUR BABY WOULD STILL BE
ALIVE.
SONNY: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO DO, CARLY, BUT IT'S
NO GOOD.
YOU CAN'T PROTECT ME
FROM THE TRUTH.
I DON'T EVEN --
CARLY: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SONNY: YES, THINGS SHOULD
HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT!
BUT THEY'RE NOT BECAUSE OF ME.
IT'S BECAUSE OF ME, NOT YOU.
I CHOSE TO TAKE RISKS.
THAT'S HOW WE CONCEIVED A CHILD
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND THEN I PUSHED MY WAY
INTO A.J.'S HOME AND ANNOUNCED
TO THE WORLD THAT THE CHILD IS
MINE.
AND THEN I CORNERED HIM
WITH AN ARSON CHARGE, AND I TOOK
HIS WIFE.
I DROVE HIM BACK TO ALCOHOL.
I MADE THAT FIGHT
ON THE STAIRS POSSIBLE.
SO GO AHEAD,
TELL ME WHAT WE BOTH KNOW --
OUR SON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF ME.

ELIZABETH: HEY.
NIKOLAS: HEY.
I HEARD ABOUT THE QUARANTINE.
ELIZABETH: PRETTY BIZARRE,
HUH?
NIKOLAS: YEAH.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
ELIZABETH: GUESS IT'S BACK
TO NORMAL.
NIKOLAS: WELL, I CAME
BY TO OFFER YOU MY GUEST ROOM,
BUT THE EXCITEMENT WAS OVER,
SO I STAYED FOR DINNER.
ELIZABETH: WELL,
THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF ME.
NIKOLAS: THAT'S THE EASY
PART.
YOU OK?
YOU SEEM -- I DON'T KNOW -- LIKE
YOU MAY BE DISTRACTED.
ELIZABETH: IT'S BEEN A LONG
DAY.
FRANKLY, I HOPE THE NEWS ABOUT
THE QUARANTINE KEEPS CUSTOMERS
AWAY BECAUSE I'M NOT IN THE MOOD
FOR SERVICE WITH A SMILE.
NIKOLAS: ARE YOU SURE NOTHING
ELSE IS BOTHERING YOU?
ELIZABETH: OTHER THAN
THE FACT THAT I'M STARVING,
NOTHING.
I'M GOING TO GO MAKE A SANDWICH
OR SOMETHING, OK?
NIKOLAS: OK.

ALEXIS: OH, HI.
I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.
WHAT'S GOING ON, HUH?
AND WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?
STEFAN: I RAN INTO A PROBLEM.
ALEXIS: YOU LOOK LIKE YOU RAN
INTO A FIST.
WHO HIT YOU?
STEFAN: LUKE SPENCER.
HELENA: NOW,
WHAT IS THIS FAVOR YOU NEED?
JAX: THANKS.
HELENA: PLEASE SIT DOWN.
JAX: OH, I'M FINE STANDING.
HELENA: SIT.
JAX: OK.
I'LL SIT.
WELL, SINCE YOU'RE ALREADY
FAMILIAR WITH CHLOE'S MEDICAL
HISTORY, I'LL GET RIGHT
TO THE POINT.
YOU OWN A COMPANY THAT CONTROLS
ACCESS TO AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG.
IN COMBINATION WITH RADIATION,
IT COULD SAVE CHLOE'S EYESIGHT.
I WANT THE DRUG.
HELENA: I'LL CONTACT
MY LAWYERS.
I'M SURE THEY'D BE HAPPY
TO ASSIST YOU.
JAX: I'VE ALREADY BEEN
IN CONTACT WITH THEM, AND SO FAR
IT'S GOTTEN ME NOWHERE.
I CAN'T GET CHLOE A SINGLE PILL
OR INTO A TRIAL.
SO I OFFERED TO BUY
THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY
AND EVEN THEIR PARENT COMPANY.
I'VE BEEN BLOCKED AT EVERY TURN.
HELENA: WELL, I -- I HAD
NO IDEA.
JAX: OH, I DOUBT THAT.
HELENA: WELL, SURELY
YOU DON'T THINK THAT I WOULD
KEEP YOU FROM THIS MIRACLE CURE.
JAX: THE THOUGHT HAD CROSSED
MY MIND.
HELENA: WELL, I THINK I'M
OFFENDED.
JAX: I'M SURE YOU'LL GET
OVER IT.
HELENA: WELL, I'M SORRY,
MR. JACKS, BUT I'M NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FRUSTRATING
EXPERIENCE YOU'VE HAD.
I'M NOT REALLY AS MUCH
OF A HANDS-ON MANAGER
AS I SHOULD BE.
BUT WHEN YOU OWN SO MANY
VENTURES, YOU KNOW -- THERE ARE
ONLY SO MANY HOURS IN THE DAY.
JAX: RIGHT.
HELENA: BUT I DO HOPE THAT
MY LAWYERS HAVE NOT BEEN RUDE
TO YOU.
JAX: DOES THAT MEAN I'VE
CONVINCED YOU?
HELENA: NOT EXACTLY.
JAX: YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE
NO LEGAL OR FINANCIAL REASON
TO KEEP THIS DRUG FROM CHLOE.
SO IF YOU PERSIST IN DOING SO,
I'LL HAVE TO ASSUME THAT
YOUR REASON IS PERSONAL.
HELENA: OH, EVERYTHING IS
PERSONAL, MR. JACKS,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU BECOME
ACQUAINTED WITH SOMEONE.
JAX: I WAS HOPING I COULD
GIVE CHLOE GOOD NEWS TONIGHT.
HELENA: I'M SURE YOU DO.
BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY
PROMISE I CAN GIVE YOU IS THAT
I WILL TAKE YOUR REQUEST UNDER
ADVISEMENT.
JAX: I WAS HOPING
FOR A LITTLE MORE.
HELENA: I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
JAX: THANK YOU.

JAX: CHLOE.
CHLOE: I WAS WAITING FOR YOU.
["SLEEPING BEAUTY" THEME PLAYS]
CHLOE: JAX, DON'T.
DON'T.
I DON'T WANT THAT.
JAX, DON'T.
NO, NO, TAKE IT AWAY, JAX.
TAKE IT AWAY!
JAX, TAKE IT AWAY!
DON'T! DON'T!
I DON'T WANT IT.
TAKE IT AWAY, JAX.
JAX, TAKE IT AWAY.
PLEASE, JAX.
JAX, TAKE IT AWAY.
I DON'T WANT IT.
NO.
NO!

ALEXIS: WHY DID LUKE HIT YOU?
STEFAN: HAS YOUR FLIGHT
FROM OUR FAMILY TAKEN YOU SO FAR
THAT YOU'VE FORGOTTEN
YOUR CONFIDANT LUKE IS MY MORTAL
ENEMY?
ALEXIS: NO.
BUT YOU TWO ARE ABLE TO CO-EXIST
WITHOUT BEATING EACH OTHER UP.
NOW, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
STEFAN: I WAS WALKING
ON THE DOCKS WHEN I CAME UPON
A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN LUKE
AND HIS SON.
LUCKY WAS HOSTILE, ACCUSING.
LUKE CAUGHT SIGHT OF ME
AND BECAME ENRAGED.
I FULLY EXPECTED HIM TO BEGIN
FROTHING AT THE MOUTH.
ALEXIS: DID HE SAY ANYTHING?
STEFAN: LUKE THREATENED
TO KILL ME.
THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU.
AS MY ATTORNEY, I WANTED
YOU TO KNOW.
ALEXIS: AND YOU TOOK HIM
SERIOUSLY?
STEFAN: YES, I DID.
ALEXIS: WELL, ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
THIS, THEN MY ADVICE IS TO DO
NOTHING, TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
STEFAN: HOW DO YOU SUGGEST
I DO THAT, MOVE BACK TO GREECE?
ALEXIS: IF YOU'RE REALLY
AFRAID THAT HE'S GOING TO KILL
YOU, IS THAT SO UNTHINKABLE?
THEN HE CAN AIM HIMSELF
AT HELENA AND HE CAN DUKE IT OUT
WITH HER.
STEFAN: NO, NIKOLAS IS HERE.
I WON'T LEAVE HIM.
ALEXIS: I KNEW YOU WERE GOING
TO SAY THAT.
JUST BE CAREFUL.
STEFAN: I'LL DO MY BEST.
BUT I WANT YOU TO STAY AWARE.
ALEXIS: I WILL.

CARLY: SONNY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WISH I COULD BLAME YOU.
I WISH I COULD POINT MY FINGER
AND SAY, "THERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT'S IT.
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I FEEL
LIKE I DO."
I FEEL COLD AND I FEEL EMPTY
INSIDE.
BECAUSE THEN I COULD GET ANGRY.
I'D PICK THINGS UP AND THROW
THEM AND SCREAM AT YOU,
CALL YOU ALL KINDS OF MEAN
NAMES AND
THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T THINK THAT YOU'RE
THE REASON WHY
OUR BABY DIDN'T MAKE IT.
AND I DON'T THINK I AM, EITHER.
I JUST THINK IT IS.
YOU KNOW?
IT JUST IS.
TERRIBLE THING THAT
HAPPENED, AND
IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT BETTER
FOR YOU TO BLAME YOURSELF AND ME
TO BLAME MYSELF, US TO BLAME
EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE EVERY DAY WE WAKE UP,
OUR BABY'S STILL GONE.
SONNY: THERE'S NO COMING BACK
FROM THAT.
CARLY: YOU DID REALLY GOOD,
THOUGH.
THAT'S
JUST RIGHT.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH IT?
SONNY: I DON'T -- I DON'T
EVEN WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
THAT DAMN CRADLE.
I'M GOING TO --
FORGET ABOUT IT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
CARLY: ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW,
I GUESS I'M GOING TO GO
TO BED, BUT
I FOUND SOME PEACE TODAY,
A LITTLE BIT,
WITH BOBBIE BECAUSE
SHE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT LIFE
AND LOSS, YOU KNOW, BIG THINGS
LIKE THAT.
IF YOU WANTED TO GE
HER A CALL, I THINK THAT --
SONNY: NO, THANKS.
THANKS.
CARLY: ALL RIGHT.
SONNY: GOOD NIGHT.
CARLY: GOOD NIGHT.

CHLOE: THERE YOU ARE.
AND ALL IN ONE PIECE, AS FAR
AS I CAN TELL.
JAX: WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHECK
ALL MY MOVABLE PARTS JUST
TO MAKE SURE?
YOU HAD ANOTHER NIGHTMARE,
DIDN'T YOU?
CHLOE: IT'S GETTING REALLY
MADDENING HOW I CAN'T HIDE
ANYTHING FROM YOU.
JAX: WAS IT A BAD ONE?
CHLOE: JUST -- THE MUSIC BOX
AGAIN.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT
HAPPENED WITH HELENA.
THAT'S WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN.
JAX: IT'S PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD.
I JUST TOLD HER I WANTED ACCESS
TO THE DRUG AND TO NAME A PRICE.
CHLOE: BUT SHE REFUSED.
JAX: SHE SAID SHE'D THINK
ABOUT IT.
CHLOE: WHICH IS THE SAME
THING AS NO.
THANK GOD, JAX.
I DON'T WANT THAT WOMAN
IN OUR LIVES.
JAX: CHLOE, I'M NOT GIVING UP
JUST YET, OK?
EVEN IF HELENA TURNS ME DOWN,
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAY
TO PERSUADE HER THROUGH SOMEONE
ELSE.
CHLOE: WHO?
JAX: STEFAN.
CHLOE: GREAT.
YOU TRUST STEFAN ABOUT AS MUCH
AS YOU TRUST HELENA.
JAX: IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THEY'RE THE PLAYERS I'M STUCK
WITH.
BESIDES, STEFAN HAS COME TO ME
BEFORE ABOUT TEAMING UP AGAINST
HER.
CHLOE: YEAH, AND YOU WOULDN'T
EVEN CONSIDER IT, JUST LIKE
YOU WOULDN'T CONSIDER WORKING
WITH ANY OF THE CASSADINES
EXCEPT FOR THIS SILLY THING
IN MY HEAD.

JAX: CHLOE, DON'T
YOU UNDERSTAND?
I WILL GO UP AGAINST ANYONE
FOR YOU.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
SINGER: YEAH
YEAH
OH, YEAH
OH, OH
YEAH
SINGER: CAN THIS BE TRUE?
TELL ME, CAN THIS BE REAL?
HOW CAN I PUT INTO WORDS
WHAT I FEEL?
MY LIFE WAS COMPLETE
I THOUGHT I WAS WHOLE
WHY DO I FEEL
LIKE I'M LOSING CONTROL?
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT LOVE
COULD FEEL LIKE THIS
AND YOU'VE CHANGED MY WORLD
WITH JUST ONE KISS
SINGERS: HOW CAN IT BE
THAT RIGHT HERE WITH ME
HELENA: I NEED YOUR HELP
IN ELIMINATING A NUISANCE.
MY SON STEFAN.
STEFAN: YOU'RE LATE.
HOW UNLIKE YOU.
MRS. LANSBURY: MR. CASSADINE,
I --
STEFAN: AH.
DON'T BE NERVOUS.
I HAVE MADE SURE WE WON'T RUN
INTO MY MOTHER HERE.
MRS. LANSBURY: WELL,
WHY SHOULD THAT CONCERN ME?
STEFAN: OH, IT SHOULDN'T.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER
HOW WELL I'VE TAKEN CARE
OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALL THESE
YEARS.
MRS. LANSBURY: WELL,
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO?
STEFAN: BEFORE I TELL YOU,
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE I HAVE
YOU UNDER 24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE.
SHOULD YOU EVEN ENTERTAIN
THE THOUGHT OF BETRAYING
ME AGAIN,
THAT THOUGHT
WILL BE YOUR LAST.
NOW,
I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN
THAT MY MOTHER IS PLANNING
MY MURDER AS WE SPEAK.
I WANT YOU TO HELP ME
GIVE HER WHAT SHE WANTS.

>> ON THE NEXT
"GENERAL HOSPITAL" --

JAX: I THINK IT'S TIME
WE START WORKING TOGETHER.

HELENA: WHO COMES TO VISIT
MOTHER AND NEVER COMES BACK?

LARKIN: PUT CORINTHOS
ON THE PHONE.
BOBBIE: IT'S LARKIN.
HE SAYS HE'S GOT HANNAH.
WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
