Carly: Whoo!

Jason: Pretty good.

Carly: That was great.

[ Both chuckle ]

Carly: This is nice, isn't it? Hanging out, playing pool. We haven't done this since you got back.

Jason: It's long overdue.

Jason: Yes.

Carly: [ Exhales sharply ] Funerals.

Jason: Yeah.

Carly: I mean, what are you supposed to do after? I mean, I know there are tons of things I should be doing, and, well, this is one of the few things I want to be doing.

Jason: Yeah, me too.

Carly: All right, well, to, um... to little Jonah.

Jason: To Jonah.

Carly: Yeah.

Jason: And to you. You did good today.

Carly: I had support.

Franco: I'll be fine.

Elizabeth: Yeah, I know. I know. I'm -- I mean, I have complete faith in you.

Franco: I don't think that you do, but it's sweet of you to say that.

Elizabeth: Can I offer you a little advice, though?

Franco: I love you, and I -- I am aware that the task in front of me comes with its challenges.

Elizabeth: Well, that's an understatement.

Franco: I am a student of the worst-case scenario, and I plan accordingly. You know that about me.

Elizabeth: I know the first part.

Franco: And I have analyzed the situation, and I have a bulletproof battle plan, and I am so positive that this is gonna go so flawlessly, this operation, that the WSB is gonna offer me an honorary position as a secret agent, and I'm thinking that my new secret-agent name should be Double-O Franco.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ]

Robert: It's been 48 hours since Cassandra Pierce was abducted. Look. I need progress reports or lack thereof immediately. Thank you. Commissioner, good to see you.

Jordan: Well, this is my station. And since you've obviously set up camp here, I'd like an update on Anna's whereabouts.

Carson: It's the moment you've been waiting for. Alive and in person, your patient --

Anna: Cassandra Pierce.

Carson: I was just gonna say that.

Finn: No.

Anna: Finn?

Finn: [ Scoffs ] I'm sorry, fellas. There's no way I could save this patient.

Lucy: Hey, Doc. What's a guy like you doing in a place like this? Kevin, what's -- what's the matter?

Ryan:: Somebody help me, please! Somebody! Help! Oh. Oh, thank God. What's your name?

Gordon: I'm Gordon.

Ryan: Gordon! Gordon. Y-y-you have to help me. I'm not supposed to be here.

Kevin: I'm fine.

Lucy: No, you're not.

Kevin: [ Sighs ] Lucy, I'm just trying to enjoy a drink by myself.

Lucy: Exactly. You are here flying solo, drinking alone on the anniversary of your birth.

Kevin: Well, it's complicated. My birthday has not been at the forefront of my mind today.

Lucy: Hmm. Well, that is just plain unacceptable. S-see, to me, you need to be with someone that treats your birthday with the appropriate importance, like planning big parties or -- [ Inhales sharply ] You have someone to do that named Laura. That's it, isn't it? That's why you are so downtrodden -- because your current wife forgot your birthday.

Kevin: [ Sighs ] Bartender.

Jason: [ Groans ]

Carly: Okay, so, Josslyn talked Michael into taking her out on Sonny's speedboat, which I know is good for them, and -- and Sonny and Mike are spending the afternoon with Avery.

Jason: Mm-mm

Carly: And I know that's good for all of them, so it's okay that I'm hanging out here with you, right? And having fun and...

Jason: Yeah, what's wrong with doing something you like?

Carly: Nothing.

Carly: [ Chuckles ] Used to be the main focus of my existence, right? I mean, it's -- it's kind of funny that someone who's so completely selfish spends so much of her time now worrying about other people. I mean, if someone would have told you the night we met that I'd wind up a wife and a mother and taking care of so many other people, would you have believed them?

Jason: Uh, n-not a chance.

Carly: [ Laughs ]

Elizabeth: No. No. Don't go anywhere that's not on the itinerary.

Franco: I won't.

Elizabeth: Okay, and, mm... oh, and stick to the budget.

Franco: Okay, I will.

Elizabeth: That's important. -

Franco: Mm-hmm, it is. -

Elizabeth: A-and on the list -- stay, just stay -- d-don't let them pull any surprises on you 'cause --

Franco: Oh, I won't. I really should get going.

Elizabeth: Okay.

Kiki: Is everything okay?

Elizabeth: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are fine. I-I don't know why I'm worried. I --

Franco: What exactly are you worried about, anyway?

Elizabeth: Oh, my God.

Franco: I got this. I don't know why you don't trust me.

Elizabeth: I do trust you. It's -- it --

Franco: It's what? What is it?

Elizabeth: It's them. I-I was ju-- I hope you're not biting off more than you can chew. I should just talk to Epiphany because I'm sure I can switch shifts with somebody.

Franco: Kiki, will you please tell the love of my life that she worries too much?

Kiki: I honestly don't know what we're talking about, so I'm just gonna stay out of it.

Franco: I will be in touch every hour on the hour, and if, for some reason, I don't make it back alive, I would really like a simple funeral. No extraordinary measures. Kiki is my witness.

Elizabeth: Okay. [ Chuckles nervously ]

Kiki: Um...where is he going, and why might he not come back alive?

Elizabeth: Franco's taking the boys shopping for clothes and school supplies -- all three of them.

Kiki: Oh.

Elizabeth: Oh, my God. What have I done?

Kiki: [ Chuckles ]

Robert: And so, using that, we were able to determine the last location.

Jordan: But not their current one?

Robert: Someone removed the tracker. Now, whether it was Finn or one of the captors, I don't know, but I can say with a degree of certainty that they're probably both alive.

Jordan: How do you know that?

Robert: We found some medication at the scene. Anna uses that to treat her PV.

Jordan: So, Anna's kiDNAppers need her alive.

Robert: Yeah, as leverage over Finn. I mean, after all, he was the main target.

Jordan: And you gave him to them.

Robert: I still say that fitting him with a tracker and sending him in was the best way to go.

Jordan: Except now we don't know where the hell they are.

Finn: This, uh...woman tried to kill me, tried to kill both of us.

Carson: That is not my problem.

Finn: I understand, but if you were me, would you go out of your way to try to save someone who tried to kill you?

Carson: No, I would kill them.

Finn: Okay.

Carson: Unless, of course, I was being held at gunpoint.

Anna: Oh, please. Can you just do it, Finn?

Finn: But, Anna, I don't want to do it.

Anna: I know. I don't want you to save her, either, but you're a doctor. You heal. It's your job.

Carson: Get to work!

Anna: Just do that.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Finn: Okay. This blood work, this was done yesterday? Hm. Well, the virus is spreading, all right? I-I don't know what I can, uh -- wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.

Anna: What is it? Finn? Huh? What are you doing?

Finn: Here. Put this on.

Anna: What? Why?

Finn: Just do it. Just do it.

Anna: Okay.

Finn: If those numbers are accurate, this virus is now contagious. Did either of you have prolonged exposure?

Carson: I mean, maybe 30 minutes, but no one said anything about her being contagious. She wasn't even in quarantine.

Finn: Who's "no one"?

Carson: Huh?

Finn: Who was -- who was treating her? Were they an expert? Yeah, I didn't think so because this virus has now mutated significantly from the results you showed me two days ago. Nice work, fellas. Now we're all at risk.

Carson: The medications the WSB was using to treat her are right there.

Finn: Get out of my way. Obviously, whatever they were using, it wasn't working. At best, it was getting rid of the non-contagious cells and allowing the mutated ones to survive. All right. Well, maybe you had... minimal exposure, and I can save you. Here is a list of all the medications I'm gonna need. Why are you still standing there?! If any of us has what Cassandra has, I'm not sure there's anything I can do to stop it.

Franco: Cameron, genius idea to fuel up before braving the mall.

Cameron: Well, you know what else I was thinking? Since summer's almost over, why not hit the carnival?

Jake: You mean Lumina Land?

Cameron: Yeah!

Aiden: I like Lumina Land.

Cameron: And we have time before the stores close. Come on, Franco. Look at their faces.

Franco: [ Chuckles ] Come on. We have done zero things that are on the list, and one thing that is absolutely not on the list, so I don't think so. Besides, Lumina Land -- it's a little early '90s, don't you think?

Cameron: [ Chuckles ] I know, right?

Franco: [ Scoffs ] Okay, here -- how about this? We do some stuff that is actually on the list, and then maybe we can check it out.

Cameron: But Lumina Land already has everything we need, in addition to the rides, games, and food.

Franco: None of which are things, by the way, that your mother would call necessities.

Cameron: W-we can stock up on school supplies.

Jake: Right, they have pens at the gift shop.

Cameron: And clothes, too.

Aiden: I don't think I can get my Princess Kalinda of Everwood pencils at Lumina Land.

Cameron: Aiden, you can't have Princess Kalinda of Everwood pencils, period.

Franco: Why not?

Cameron: B-because Princess Kalinda of Everwood is for girls.

Elizabeth: I'm surprised to see you back at work so soon. I thought you'd want to take a little time off. Maybe put some of that money you won from Bensch to good use.

Kiki: I already did, actually. I donated it to a fund promoting equal treatment.

Elizabeth: Oh, that's awesome. You didn't keep any of it for yourself?

Kiki: No, I mean, I was never in it for the payout. I wanted to expose Bensch and make G.H. a little safer for the women who just want to do their jobs in peace... which is what I'd like to do, actually.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Dr. Bensch: No one's stopping ya! What are you waiting for, Jerome? Hop to it!

Finn: Let me be clear -- every minute you waste, the greater the chance the infection is spreading inside your body and you.

Carson: Or this list is just a distraction.

Anna: Oh, for pity's sake. Your employer kiDNApped him specifically because he is an expert in infectious diseases. Now, if he says this woman is contagious, trust me, she is 100% contagious.

Finn: Of course, you could always rely on your own medical expertise.

Carson: Let's move.

[ Door closes, lock engages ]

Anna: I assume she's not even a little bit contagious.

Finn: Hm?

Anna: She's not a little bit contagious, right?

Finn: No, no.

Anna: Oh, good.

Finn: And if she was, these masks?

Anna: Oh?

Finn: Useless.

Anna: Good to know. Yeah.

Finna: [ Sighs ]

Anna: [ Sighs ] So...

Finn: There she is.

Anna: There she is.

Finn: Away from WSB custody, and those were the two guys that did it.

Anna: I don't know if they're the ones that did it personally because they've been busy with us, you know.

Finn: So, my job is to... keep her alive and make it look like she's making progress.

Anna: Yep.

Finn: Hmm.

Anna: Gives us time to figure a way out of here.

Finn: Yeah.

Anna: What are you doing, exactly?

Finn: Puttering. Puttering. No, I -- buying us some time or maybe finishing us off.

Anna: Okay.

Finn: We'll see which one.

Jason: Mm-hmm?

Carly: Sonny told me about the incident in Croton.

Jason: Yeah.

Carly: And how it connects back to Charlie's Pub.

Jason: Yeah, we're -- we're handling that.

Carly: Okay. Well, you need to be careful because Julian makes a big show about being reformed, but he's done a lot of damage, okay?

Jason: Yeah, I know. Sam told me.

Carly: No, you don't know. Julian was working Mike the other day. He knows something is up, and when he starts digging into that foundation, Jason --

Jason: Okay. Carly, we've taken steps to prevent that.

Carly: Okay, the bigger the steps, the more Julian is gonna know that you guys are up to something. Julian isn't just some rival. He's Sam's father. He's woven into all of our lives. The longer this takes, the messier it's going to get.

Kevin: Lucy, I'm sure Laura and I will celebrate properly once she comes home. In the meantime, I'm just preoccupied at work. My [Chuckles] birthday hasn't crossed my mind once today.

Lucy: Really?

Kevin: Mm. Hmm.

Lucy: So, who do you think you're talking to?

Kevin: [ Sighs ]

Lucy: I-I know we're not close anymore, and I get it, that it's completely my fault. [ Sighs ] But, Kevin Collins, I have loved you in one fashion or another for the better part of my life, the very best parts, so let's not pretend I don't know what it looks like when you are hiding something.

Ryan: Is it -- just -- just hear me out, please?

Gordan: I'm just supposed to make sure you're okay and then go.

Ryan:: But that's just it! I'm not okay! And neither are a lot of other people! There is a very dangerous man loose in Port Charles!

Franco: There are a lot of people in this world who really like Princess Kalinda of Everwood.

Cameron: Yeah, a lot of girls. Good luck making it through third grade with little cartoon princesses on your pencils.

Franco: Okay, that's enough. Knock it off.

Cameron: Okay, I'm just trying to help my little brother get through third grade without getting swirlies, wedgies, or getting stuffed in garbage cans every day.

Franco: Aiden. Aiden!

Cameron: Come on, Aiden. Don't be such a baby.

Franco: Really, dude? Both of you, stay put.

Jake: You're in trouble.

Kiki: How is it possible that you still work here?

Dr. Bensch: Why wouldn't I? I am a well-respected physician.

Kiki: Were. You were a well-respected physician.

Dr. Bensch: [ Chuckles ] In case your attorney hasn't informed you, I've already filed my appeal, and I expect the judge's decision to be overturned soon enough. I hope you didn't spend all that settlement money. I'll be needing it back.

Kiki: Hm.

[ Beeper beeping ]

Dr. Bensch: Oh, perfect timing! Chief of Staff has just summoned me. No doubt Dr. Quartermaine has heard from my new lawyer and will be apologizing for the inconvenience I have been subjected to. Please, let my patients know I'll be with them shortly.

Chase: Excuse me. Why did no one bother to inform me that my brother's missing? I had to find out from dispatch. Now, I would appreciate any information you have on the search.

Robert: Okay. He's with Anna Devane. We used a tracker to find their previous location. I got to the previous location about 48 hours after they'd been moved.

Chase: Okay. What can I do?

Jordan: Nothing. You're way too close to this.

Robert: Yeah, yeah, stay out of this one. Look, I'll keep you in the loop.

Chase: Okay, with all due respect, Sir, isn't Agent Devane your ex-wife and the mother of your daughter, Dr. Robin Scorpio-Drake?

Robert: Hmm, someone's done some homework.

Chase: Actually, people were talking about it at The Nurses' Ball after you decked Valentin.

Robert: Hmm.

Jordan: Okay, listen. I see where you're going with this, Detective.

Chase: And with all due respect, Commissioner, isn't Agent Devane one of your closest friends?

Jordan: Yes, but I --

Chase: I barely know my brother. Both of you are closer to Agent Devane than I will ever be to Finn.

Jordan: Okay, if you're not close to this, then why are you so hell-bent on --

Robert: On interfering. Look, at least pretend to be objective.

Chase: What I am...is driven. If Finn dies now, I'm never gonna get a chance to know him.

Finn: Phew.

Anna: Okay, wait. Wait.

Finn: What?

Anna: Uh, I just want to make sure that, um...

Finn: Oh, she'll be fine. Probably.

Anna: Okay, wait, 'cause -- look, I despise the woman, but...

Finn: Uh-huh?

Anna: Clearly she's of pivotal importance to someone who spent a great deal of time and money in her recovery.

Finn: Uh-huh.

Anna: But wh-what is of -- of equal concern is the fact that this person has a source inside the WSB that alerted them when she was being transferred or -- or maybe even arranged for the transfer in the first place.

Finn: Okay. So, what you're saying is -- you would like Cassandra to survive and, if all possible, to wake up.

Anna: Right.

Finn: You're very demanding, you know that?

Anna: I'm a woman.

Finn: Yeah.

Anna: Wow. Well, what -- what are the odds, do you think, really?

Finn: 70/30. 60/40. Let's -- let's not talk about odds.

Anna: [ Sighs ]

Finn: We'll know soon enough.

Carly: Okay. I get that this is business, all right? And that you and Sonny are gonna decide what steps to take next, but after what happened to Morgan, I need you to hear me.

Jason: I -- I always hear you.

Carly: Julian would love to ruin Sonny, especially if he can do it in a way where his own hands are clean, where he's an innocent bystander, and what could be more innocent than uncovering a crime Sonny committed decades ago?

Jason: Okay, you're -- you're right. If Julian learns the truth, he will exploit it. But at this point, all he really knows is that Mike has some kind of connection to Charlie Delaney.

Carly: And Sonny wanted to buy the pub.

Jason: Well, it -- it doesn't matter. Sonny despises Julian. Why wouldn't he want to take over his business?

Carly: So, you just want to wait and watch?

Jason: For now.

Carly: Don't wait too long. Don't do it. We know that a bad situation can only get worse.

Ryan:: Look, I know the doctor will just tell you that I'm insane, that I'm in here for my own protection.

Gordan: Well, this is an institution for the criminally insane.

Ryan:: That's just it! I'm not a patient! I'm a prisoner! And as long as I'm locked up in here, he's running around free to destroy everyone I love.

Gordan: I just -- I-I don't know what to tell you.

Ryan:: I know. I'm sorry to put this on you. It's just that every day I'm in here, he just takes a little more from me.

Gordan: Is there anything I can do to help you?

Kiki: How is it possible that that man is still working at this hospital?

Elizabeth: Did you talk to Monica?

Kiki: Yeah. She walked in on me and Griffin in her office. Talking. We were talking.

Elizabeth: Is that when she was going to...

Kiki: Inform him of his suspension? Yeah.

Elizabeth: What happened? What did he do?

Kiki: I don't know, but whatever it was couldn't possibly have been worse than whatever Dr. Bensch was doing. It's so unfair.

Elizabeth: Well, one thing we can take comfort in...

Kiki: [ Exhales heavily ]

Elizabeth: There's not a nurse on staff willing to lift a finger for that man.

Kiki: Really?

Elizabeth: The way we see it, you had our backs, and now we've got yours.

Jake: You shouldn't have said that to Aiden.

Cameron: I...would do the same thing for you that I just did with Aiden. It's called protecting your little brother.

Jake: Do me a favor. If I ever need "protecting," find someone else to do it because Aiden thinks you're cool, and you just hurt his feelings, bad.

Franco: Hey.

Aiden: Huh?

Franco: That was a crummy thing Cameron did, huh?

Aiden: [ Sniffles ] Mm.

Franco: You know what? You don't need to listen to that guy. He doesn't know -- he doesn't know what he's talking about. There is so much to like about Beverly of Evergreen.

Aiden: Kalinda from Everwood.

Franco: Yeah, her too. Can I tell you a little story? Once upon a time, there was this guy who made art, and he took this pile of...elephant poo, and he put it on a canvas, and he called it art, and he sold it for like $7.5 million. It's true. I mean, some people were like, "Oh, that's terrible," and other people were like, "I like it" because people like what they like, and no one person in this world should ever be able to tell another person what they can and cannot like.

Aiden: So then why did Cam say that stuff to me?

Franco: 'Cause he made a mistake. He's going to apologize to you, and then I'll take you to the Kalinda of Everwood store, and you can buy all the Kalinda of Everwood stuff you could ever want.

Aiden: I don't want it anymore.

Franco: No? Aiden? [ Sighs ] Ugh. I thought I knocked it out of the park with the whole elephant-poo story.

Kevin: Lucy... I-I appreciate your concern. I really do.

Lucy: But you want me to butt out.

Kevin: If you don't mind.

Lucy: Doc, I know you, and I know when you're going into that dark, broody place, and I just feel like I need to stop it, so, yes, if that makes me a busybody, then I am --

Kevin: It does. It does, Lucy. And if I'm keeping private thoughts, if there's things I'm not sharing, it's because, with all due respect, there are other people in my life that I share those things with.

Carly: Kevin? Lucy? I'm sorry to interrupt.

Lucy: No, no. Um, it's -- it's okay. As luck would have it, Dr. Collins and I are all wrapped up, so perfect timing.

Kevin: Jason. Uh, actually, I'm glad you're here. I owe you a debt of thanks. Your methods may be unorthodox, but you were able to do what I couldn't, and you kept Carly safe. Thanks.

Jason: I'm just glad I got there in time.

Kevin: Oh, I shudder to think what might have happened if you hadn't.

Carly: I was less than appreciative the last time we saw each other, and looking back, you were really kind and fair and... thank you.

Kevin: You are very welcome.

Carly: So, I want to know, what ever happened to the patient who was in the room next to mine? I feel so bad at the thought that he's still in the hands of those monsters.

Kevin: You can rest easy. Thanks to you, the entire staff and administration at Ferncliff have been replaced.

Carly: And my neighbor?

Kevin: He's getting the best care possible. I'm seeing to that personally.

Anna: How long do you think before those guys come back?

Finn: Huh?

Anna: Those guys.

Finn: Oh, well, the medications Cassandra needs are -- are pretty rare. Our guys are gonna be going to some very out-of-the-way places.

Cassandra: [ Moans ]

Finn: Wow.

Anna: What?

Cassandra: [ Moans ]

Finn: It worked.

Anna: [ Chuckles ]

Cassandra: [ Moans lightly ]

Finn: Cassandra? Can -- can you hear me?

Anna: Hey, Cassandra, wake up. Open your eyes, yeah?

Cassandra: Wh-what happened?

Anna: Well, hello, Cassandra. We've been waiting for you.

Cameron: Ready to go?

Franco: Hm, not quite. I think there's something you need to say to your little brother first.

Cameron: I'm sorry about those things I said. Can we go now?

Jake: I like Princess Kalinda of Everwood.

Aiden: I don't like her anymore. Can we go home now?

Franco: No, not yet. I can't bring you boys home unless I get you your school supplies... which, I guess, I can probably order online, anyway. Um, tell you what, Jake, Aiden. Can you do me a favor and go get yourselves some ice cream? Get whatever you want...

Jake: Thanks.

Aiden: Thanks. ...

Franco: But stay where I can see you, okay?

Jake: Okay.

Cameron: So, that's how you're punishing me? By getting them ice cream?

Franco: No, man. I just -- I needed to try and cheer up Aiden, and I needed to speak to you privately, and that was a really efficient way of accomplishing both things. What you did, dude -- vibrantly uncool.

Cameron: I did that for Aiden's own good. Better me than the kids in his class.

Franco: You want to help your little brother -- I think that's great. You don't need to hurt his feelings in the process. And b-t-dubs, total-crap apology.

Cameron: Well, at least I'm not apologizing for killing people. How about all those people you hurt? Did they buy your apology, too?

Elizabeth: Time is running out for people like Bensch because you spoke up.

Kiki: Yeah. I just wish it hadn't come at such a high price. I mean, Griffin's suspended, and Dr. David Bensch gets to keep roaming the ha--

Elizabeth: Dr. Bensch. Something the matter?

Dr. Bensch: I just got fired.

Elizabeth: Oh. What a terrible loss. How will we ever recover?

Kevin: Sorry, Laura. What was that? Oh. [ Laughs ] Well, thank you. It -- it's been, uh -- it's been a very peaceful birthday. Well, you know, that's exactly what I told Lucy, that you and I will do it up right once you come home. Uh, listen, I'm -- I am sorry that I haven't been better about being in touch since I've been back here. I, uh -- I guess I've just had a lot on my mind. I miss you, too. Come home soon. Love you.

Lucy: Peace offering? Hey, I'm -- I'm sorry, okay? I-I know I overstepped. It's just old habits really do die hard.

Kevin: It's okay, Lucy. I know you meant well.

Lucy: Indeed I did. So, will you please accept this birthday cupcake, as it is given from an old friend trying to learn to maintain the proper distance?

Kevin: [ Chuckles ] Well.

[ Both chuckle ]

Kevin: Ooh. Thank you.

Lucy: You're welcome. So, what do you say, you want to light it, and you can make a great, big wish?

Kevin: Oh, I, uh -- I'll -- I'll do that later. But this is, uh -- this is very thoughtful, Lucy. Good night.

Lucy: Night. Okay, Doc. I'll make a wish for you.

Jordan: Congratulations, Detective Chase. You are now the PDPD's official liaison to the WSB, starting immediately.

Robert: [ Chuckles ] Forget it. He's green. He's too invested. He's like a puppy who hasn't been trained.

Jordan: He is a good detective, and he's got fresh eyes and good ideas, and now he's all yours.

Robert: No way.

Jordan: My turf, my rules.

Chase: Director Scorpio, I understand you might have some reservations, but I promise, I'm not gonna let you down.

Robert: You do, I got a firing squad ready for you.

Jordan: Oh, he's just saying that to motivate you. With that said, you do me proud, okay? No surprises from either of you. And you keep me apprised of every step along the way.

Chase: Yes, ma'am.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Robert: All right, now get this. You may work for her, but you're gonna do exactly as I say. Got it?

Cassandra: [ Weakly ] Why... aren't you two dead?

Finn: Always the charmer.

Anna: Okay. All she needs to know is that we are, in fact, still alive, and in order for the three of us to remain that way, you need to help us.

Cassandra: Why would I do that?

Anna: Because you -- you were kiDNApped from a WSB facility, and now the three of us are being held captive by someone who has yet to reveal themselves to us, but I know it's a lot to take in right now. But we woke you so that you could help us figure out who they are, and, in return, we will help you escape. You got that, any of it?

Cassandra: Why should I believe that you won't just turn me right back over to the WSB? Go to Hell.

Carly: Kevin thinks I should go back to therapy. I know you don't like psychiatrists, but Kevin is -- he's kind, he's intuitive, and he's discreet.

Jason: Okay, if you say so.

Carly: You don't agree?

Jason: [ Sighs ] Look, I-I kind of understand why he turned me into Mary Pat, but it was wrong. And it was wrong for him to take off to Europe and leave you there alone, knowing the situation. I'm sure he means well. I just -- I don't trust his judgment.

Carly: So, you don't think I should go back?

Jason: That's not up to me to say.

Carly: Will you stop saying that and give me your opinion?!

Jason: Carly, if -- look, if you like Dr. Collins and you think you need therapy, then go back. I don't think you need it, but it's not my call.

Carly: I don't think I need therapy, either. I just wanted to hear you say it. [ Laughs ]

Jason: You're definitely sane.

Carly: Hm.

Jason: You're not always practical or logical, but you're sane.

Carly: I love that you know that about me, but I love that I'm free and that Ferncliff is just a bad memory.

Jason: [ Sighs ]

Carly: I almost feel guilty for the patients that are still stuck there.

Ryan:: Thank you. You're very kind, Gordon. A lot better than the staff that used to be here. I can tell you genuinely want to help.

Gordan: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Ryan:: If you mean that, don't tell anyone we spoke, especially my so-called doctor. Do you understand? If he finds out I told you who he really is... he'll kill me.

Franco: You want to know about everything that I've done in this world? You can file a FOIA request and get the court transcripts. It's all a matter of public record. But we're not having a conversation about the things that I've done. What we're talking about is what we just did to Aiden.

Cameron: Aiden is my brother. I've known him for longer than you have, and I know what he needs.

Franco: He doesn't need a bully making him feel smaller than he already feels.

Cameron: I'm not a bully, but I've seen plenty of them -- some when I was Aiden's age. And the fastest way to get picked on at school is showing up with girl pencils or dolls or fluffy stuffed animals, and all the lectures from teachers about "respecting differences," it doesn't make a difference. So if you really care about Aiden, don't get him the pencils.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Franco: Hey, babe.

Elizabeth: "Babe"?

Franco: Yeah, "babe." You don't like it? It's, like, a term of endearment 'cause I love you.

Elizabeth: Okay, so how's it going?

Franco: [ Chuckles ] They're certainly keeping me busy.

Dr. Bensch: You think this is over?

Kiki: Judging by that box, yeah, it's over.

Dr. Bensch: I wouldn't bet on it. You had your day in court. Now I'm gonna have mine. I'm suing G.H. for wrongful termination and you for defamation of character.

Kiki: Oh. Well, in that case, I look forward to testifying against you again.

Dr. Bensch: [ Chuckles ] I'll have my job back, even if I have to bring this place to its knees.

Kiki: Somehow I don't see that happening.

Robert: Cassandra Pierce. She was abducted while being transferred to a bureau medical facility. Cassandra's been associated with a number of high-profile cases. However, someone also expects your brother to treat her.

Chase: So, we find Cassandra Pierce, we find Finn.

Robert: Well... [Chuckles] Cassie and Finn have a rather colorful history together. But read that. Familiarize yourself.

Chase: Thanks.

Robert: All we need now is a bit of fresh coffee.

Chase: Ah, thank you. I, uh -- I take mine black.

Anna: You seem to be under the misguided impression that -- that you have a choice in all of this. Well, let me clarify that. You don't.

Cassandra: We'll see about that.

Anna: It's August, all right? You've been in a coma for eight months.

Cassandra: Eight months?

Anna: Yes.

Finn: Courtesy of one of your own designer cocktails. I love irony.

Anna: And during that time, you contracted a very rare blood disorder.

Cassandra: No, you're lying.

Anna: Mnh-mnh.

Finn: No, she's not. Look at it this way. You finally got that rare, incurable disease you always wanted, and if I can cure it, I might just name it after you, so basically, this is your version of Christmas.

Cassandra: I'm gonna kill you.

Anna: No, you're not. You're going to help us. You will pretend that you're unconscious, all right, and you will sneak a glimpse at our captors, and then you will tell us if you recognize them at all and know who they're working for. And then, and only then, Finn will treat you.

Cassandra: And if I refuse?

Anna: Well, the only reason you're conscious right now is because Finn is an excellent chemist.

Finn: Oh, why thank you.

Anna: You're welcome.

Finn: I whipped up a little experimental neurostimulant right here in the shop.

Anna: Yeah. It's the only thing keeping you conscious.

Finn: But, you know, in a few minutes, it's gonna wear off, and you'll be on a one-way ticket to dreamland.

Anna: I mean, it's your choice -- pretend coma and help us or real coma and then our two faces are the last you'll ever see. I-I don't want to rush you or anything 'cause I know it's a lot, but what will it be?

Carly: I have sympathy for my mystery neighbor. I mean, he was as desperate to get out of Ferncliff as I was.

Jason: Yeah, well, just because you were wrongly imprisoned doesn't mean he was. Okay, I was there long enough to see that there are some very sick and dangerous people in that place.

Carly: Which is why I'm grateful to Kevin. As bad as that place was, it could have been a lot worse if Kevin wasn't there looking out for me. I trust Kevin.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Keys jingle ]

Kevin: Thank you, Gordon. It's all right. I can be alone with this patient.

[ Door closes ]

Kevin: Happy birthday, Brother. Make a wish.

Carly: And I know he has my best interests at heart.

On the next "General Hospital" --

Harrison (to Robert): Let me help before it's too late.

Anna (with Finn): Are you gonna cooperate, or are you gonna go back to dreamland?

Ava (to Griffin): I want you to hurt like I do.

Margaux (to Drew): Is it so hard to believe that I'm just interested in getting to know you?

Carly (to Jason): That little bitch is looking for evidence against you.

Felix (to Sonny): When the times comes, you'll know what to do for your dad.

Sonny (to Felix): I hope so.

Mike: Somebody there?
