Kate: The sky is clearing. Looks like we're past the storm.

Jax: Michael's ambulance I hope they beat the rainstorm, too.

Kate: Thank you for coming with me tonight, Jax. I know you'd rather be with Michael.

Jason: I thought I'd be gone before you guys showed up.

(ambulance guys show up and start moving Michael in)

.Anthony: There's a storm coming. Not a good night to be out on the roads.

Johnny: I don't have any plans to go out. I don't know about Claudia.

Anthony: See, you should keep. She takes too many chances.

Johnny: She's a grown woman. She doesn't need a keeper. And his little boy gets hit instead. Now we got one big mess on our otherwise, we're all going to pay.

Claudia: You bastard. [Claudia groans]

Jerry: If it's any consolation, your beloved brother will be better off as well. I'm notúth claudia: Oh, johnny. Johnny.

[Claudia grunts]

[Water splashes] Alexis: What the?

Alfred: Welcome back, sir. I speak for the entire staff when I say how pleased and relieved we are that your surgery was a success.

Nikolas: It's good to be home.

Spencer: Dad!

Nikolas: Hey, come here. What have you got there? You got something for me?

Spencer: A horsey.

Nikolas: A horsey? That's rubicon, isn't it? I can tell by looking at him. You're getting really good a me when I was in the hospital.

Spencer: Yeah.

Nikolas: So, hey. I know you've been worried about me, right?

Spencer: Yeah.

Nikolas: Yeah, I know. But the doctors, they fixed me all up. Everything's fine. Yeah. I'm healthy and well.

Jerry: a pleasure to see you, Alexis, but I have to admit that I -- you know, my feelings are a little wounded that you assume immediately that I am up to something nefarious.

Alexis: It's a reasonable assumption.

Jerry: Oh, come on. If I were up to no good, it would be a conflict of interest, wouldn't it? I mean, you being a district attorney and all.

Alexis: I would have absolutely no problem prosecuting you.

Jerry: Well, then it's the splash? The splash? All right, all right, all right. I confess, I confess. I mean, I was eating a sandwich and it was so disgusting that I threw it in the water, box and all, and, you know, arrest me for being a litter bug and for trying to poison the local fish. I surrender.

Alexis: Lucky for you, it's too dark.

Jerry. That or the sandwich has already sunk.

Alexis: What are you doing at the cannery, Jerry?

Jerry: Business, and I thought this would be the ideal location. Actually, I made an overture to Anthony Zacchara today, although the man is clearly not it's probably because of the influence of the new attorney. Ric isn't that fond of me, that's for sure.

Alexis: You're a tricky one, because you are such a good, good liar. And yet, it's a little di might, I say -- be telling the truth.

Jerry: I'm flattered to hear that you pay such céose but I'd like to know how you happened to find me.

Alexis: I was driving by and your car this irresistible urge to come to this dark, empty, and dangerous place.

Alexis: I had good reason to be suspicious. But I am not able to prove anything. So I'm going to go.

Jerry: I'll walk you out.

Alexis: That's really not necessary.

Jerry: No, no, no. This is a really bad part of town. You really -- really should be very careful.

Johnny: Aren't you the one who took the hit out on Sonny?

Anthony: Why would you think that?

Johnny: He's blocking our expansion into Port Charles. Getting rid of Sonny could solve a lot of problems. But you weren't exactly in a position to find the best hit man, and Ian devlin put his kid in a coma, and Sonny hates us more than ever.

Anthony: That's very convincing, and an excellent deflection. But I didn't hire the shooter

Johnny: Well, Claudia didn't either.

Anthony: Such loyalty to your sister.

Johnny: When she came back into town she was going to help me run things, but now that you're here

Anthony: You're getting very good at thinking on your feet. I don't believe a word you're saying, but I like your confidence, John.. If only Trevor would have shown that kind of initiative.

Anthony: Then we got one hell of a coincidence here. The guards told me Ian Devlin showed up here at the house now how are you going to cover for your sister ?

Kate: I never told you why Sonny and I broke up.

Jax: I don't need to know everything.

Kate: But it affects you, too, Jax. In fact, you may want to

Jax: I doubt it.

Kate: (Ian Devlin) He wanted me to pay him $1 million to leave town. And if Sonny got to him first, he'd be sure to leave evidence so that Sonny was convicted of murder. I misappropriated $1 million of the "Crimson" evidently, Jason and Spinelli, had been monitoring accounts and the wire transfer alerted them, and eventually, they caught up with Ian.

Jax: Yeah, and then Jason shot and killed Ian. I read about that in the papers.

Kate: Somehow, and I am assuming this was Spinelli, he got the money back into the "crimson" account, and I selfishly thought that I could just cover the whole thing up. But Sonny found out. And now you know, too. Put your stepson in a command you have every right to and end the magazine.

Pilot: Mr. Jax, please fasten your seatbelts, we will be landing in 15 minutes.

Dr. Levitt: We'll take care of the monitor hookups.

Carly: Thank you. Thank you for taking care of my son.

Dr. Levitt: Michael is fine. Let's give him extra fluids for the next hour or so.

Carly: Is he OK??

Dr. Levitt: He's fine, and he's resting comfortably.

Carly: Can we sit with him for a while?

Dr. Levitt: You stay as long as you want.

Jason: I brought his Africa book if either of you want to read it to him.

Carly: Jas you sit with him first.

Lulu: There you are.

Nikolas: Yeah, I just took Spencer up to bed. He might be still awake

Lulu: . How are you feeling?

Nikolas: Uh, I'm ok, I guess. A little tired, but ok.

Lulu: Maybe you should have stayed at the hospital longer.

Nikolas: No, no, no. I was ready to come home. I feel fine. Anyway, so... you know, you kind of look a little tired. Lulu: You're not allowed to do that.

Nikolas: What?

Lulu: Make me feel even more guilty about why I came here.

Nikolas: Why, why, why?

Lulu: I -- I am tired. I ha I'm really confused. I think that maybe you're the only person who can help me, so can I ask you a question?

Nikolas: Yes.

Lulu: You truly, deeply loved Emily, right?

Nikolas: Yeah.

Lulu: So how did you know that it was love? How did you know that your feelings were different from Gia or Courtney, and -- and -- I mean, if they were the one.

Anthony: And you didn't bother to tell me that?

Johnny: Well, he was a doctor at the hospital. .I suppose. He came back here to hit on her, and came back once more to follow up. Claudia told you that?

Johnny: I saw it for myself.

Anthony: Claudia has a terrible temper. As far as I can gather, she was a woman scorned. She and Corinthos slept together, and he treated her like a whore. Am I right so far?

Johnny: Ok, but she wouldn't kill him over that.

Anthony: Why are you defending her? To think I used to worry about Claudia's influence when you were little. I thought she'd baby you,

Trevor: Anthony? John. You needed to see me?

Anthony: Yes. You were supposedly keeping an eye on things while I was locked up, so tell me, is there any proof that Claudia was behind the shooting of Sonny's brat? And was Johnny involved in it?

Lucky: Hey.

Elizabeth: Hi. Oh, hey, thanks for, um, coming by. I was wondering. Could you please take Jake

Lucky: Jake, but not Cam?

Elizabeth: Cameron has a sleepover at Jackson's.

Lucky: Isn't that his friend that lives way out in the boonies?

Elizabeth: Jackson's mom said that she would bring Cameron home tomorrow, and he's really excited about it. I don't want to let him down, and I don't want to have Jake in the car for all that time.

Lucky: You know I'm always happy to help, but I've kind of already got plans made tonight with Sam

Lucky: You know what? I'll cancel. Sam, she'll understand.

Jason: (to Michael) When you were a baby, I would, um, I would hold you up. Then I would take you and sit on the grass and put you beside me, and you would just -- man, you were crawling so fast. You'd grab leaves. You'd pull grass. You were -- you were everywhere. And now you're here. I just, uh, want you to know that I'm thankful for every day I had with you. You taught me so much. I just want you to know that -- that I love you. I'll always be thinking of you. Good-bye.

Trevor: Yeah. This time, I think it was Claudia's idea to take Sonny out.

Anthony: It makes sense that she'd hire some doctor who's hot for her as the trigger man. You against her, like he did when she was a teenager and you sent here away.

Anthony: Now, you have to remember, with Trevor it's all about gains and losses. So what does he gain by turning? Can't control Claudia. It makes her a threat.

Trevor: Your sister is powerless.

Johnny: She speaks her mind. Sees you for the user that you are. Trevor's opinion of Claudia is right on the money. Anthony: She's a wild card.

Johnny: She's loyal to the family, which is a lot more than we can say about Trevor here. He convinced you to don't fall for his lies a second time.

Anthony: Johnny! Don't stretch yourself too thin. You may find there comes a time when you want to protect someone even more than you

Lulu: I am so mixed up. But one way or another, I'm thinking about this guy, like, every second of the day.

Lulu: It just sort of happened.

Nikolas: But, Lulu, if you're -- if you're talking about Johnny Zacchara, my advice ction.

Lulu: I've already heard that from everybody else. So, why don't you just tell me about love and how it happened and what it felt like and all that.

Nikolas: It's a little harder for me to define because, I mean, I loved Emily just as a friend for years. And then -- and then when she: Well, it's sort of like you described. My feelings for her were so strong that I couldn't admit to Lulu: So then, how did you?

Nikolas: I just finally realized that that feeling was never going to I didn't know what the future stay together or if something was going to pull us apart. I just knew. I still know.

Elizabeth: . Oh, no. Looks like someone has chocolate

Lucky: Yeah, Cameron made chocolate chip cookies in day care.

Elizabeth: Oh, I'm guessing you had a fun time.

Lucky: Yeah, and we'll have and then I want to hear all about it on Saturday when we go to the park for that picnic. Elizabeth: Come on, we got to get going. We have a real long drive.

Lucky: Yeah, listen, you, uh -

Elizabeth: (To Jake)You be a good boy ok? Who loves you? I know. Say good-bye to brother. Say "bye, brother." Lucky: Are you coming down with us?

Elizabeth: No, I am going to wash Cam up first.

Lucky: Ok. Bye, Cam.

Cam: Bye, daddy.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Warren: Kate, Jax, good to see you both.: And the last time I saw you was at the met gala, wasn't it?

Jax: Oh, yes, it was quite todo .

Warren: Yeah, well, image is everything in the fashion world, as our former editor-in-chief so well knows. Able to make it all the way from upstate.

Kate: Yes, Warren has been so sweet. He insisted that we come.

Giselle: Oh things must be getting hectic as the launch date looms for "crimson." Everyone at "couture." We can't wait to see how Kate Howard tops herself.

Kate: Ah, well, let's just say support we've received from the designers and the advertisers alike.

Kate: I thrive on challenges.

Giselle: Didn't I hear something about your boyfriend's son being shot?'

Sonny (to Michael) I realized you were never waking up. Ah, your mom is going to visit faithfully, and I would, iI really would, if I really felt that in my heart that you could but you've -- you've gone some place I can't reach. I'm still here, which makes no sense. You know what -- you were so much better than I will ever be. Smart, thoughtful. I will not -- you could make me the one thing that I will miss is the way you used to put a smile on my face. I raised you, .I damaged you in ways I didn't intend long before you were shot. You know, wherever you are, I just want you to know something. I never had a problem with you being mine. Listen to me. You were my first child, the child of my heart. I love you. I will always love you. And for the rest of my life, I you said to me were, "I love you, dad." -
