Tuesday July 8, Part- 2


Lulu: I -- I had my cell in my hand. I tried to call Kate's office to see if maxie was ok. God, I'm so stupid.

Johnny: Just tell me what happened next.

Lulu: Logan was knocking on the do. He was saying I needed to let him in, so he could explain, and then he started to hit the door with an ax, so I -- I ran in the kitchen, I got a knife, and then he broke through. I hid. As soon as he cleared the door, I tried to run for it, but he grabbed me and -- and everything is -- it's -- it's a blur.

Johnny: Just try to remember.

Lulu: I don't really want to.

Johnny: We need to know how to protect you.

Lulu: Um -- I tried to talk him down. I -- I even lied, and I said that I missed him, and he kissed me, and he knew that I was lying, so he lost it, and he grabbed me, and I grabbed the knife, or I had the knife. I don't know. It just happened so fast, and then -- and then he collapsed, and this -- the knife was in his stomach, and -- the last thing he ever said to me was that I'll never get over him, like he was cursing me.

Maxie: I'm so sorry, Lulu. I know how terrified you must have been.

Johnny: Do you think Mac will believe her story?

Maxie: Yeah, but Scott Baldwin won't.

Noah: I am absolutely flabbergasted. You and Robin planned the pregnancy?

Patrick: What difference does it make?

Noah: I take that as a no.

Patrick: Look, not that it's any of your business, but it was an accident, and yes, I've en checked for HIV since. Scalpel?

Noah: Well, I hope Robin has a plan B.

Patrick: Meaning?

Noah: I hope she's planning to raise the baby by herself and not under any illusion that you would be any kind of a father. Suction.

Patrick: You've just proved for the millionth time you know nothing about me. I'm committed to Robin and this child. Clamp the bleeder.

Noah: Well, I hate to be the voice of reason here, but this is a disaster in the making, Patrick.

Patrick: Yeah, at least I'm not an alcoholic.

Noah: Nice low blow.

Patrick: Thanks. Now, let's close this up.

Anna: I mean, it's natural for a mother to want to smooth the way for her child, to anticipate every bump in the road and get it out of the way, but that's an impossible task. And take it from me, it is very ill-advised to consider the father of the baby an obstacle.

Robin: So then what do I do, just stand by and watch my child fall in love with Patrick? Count on him for everything, and then what? He's not there. Then his career takes precedence, or he starts to look at other women, or he just gets bored. How am I supposed to let my child go through that kind of loss?

Anna: You're so willing to assume that he's not going to be a loving or responsible parent. This is all about control, you know.

Robin: How?

Anna: You can't do anything about the changes that are happening in your body, and you can't control your HIV status. You can take lots of precautions, and you can look after your health, but there's still this unknown territory.

Anna: And the one thing you can control is Patrick's access to the baby. That way you can be very effectual. But it's not the right instinct, Robin. All you're doing is you're pushing away the man you love, and he loves you right back.

[Robin sighs]

Robin: I need some air. I'll be back.

[Door closes]

Jason: Ok, take a deep breath. Count to 10.

Carly: Is that the magic number? What about a hundred? Or a million? I mean, how much counting is going to make me forget that in the past 24 hours I have found out that Jax and Kate have kissed? And now I'm looking at a picture with her head in his lap.

Jason: You know what? I'm not even friends with Jax, so it feels really weird to even try to defend this guy, but do you think he blatantly disrespects you in this way?

Carly: I don't want to. I'd like to think there's a reasonable explanation behind this or that Jax would have stopped things before Kate could get him started, but you know what? Even if that proves to be true, there's one fact that remains. Kate's after my husband. She wants to get him in bed, because she can't stand my connection to Sonny. I'm shutting her down by all means necessary.

Jason: Carly.

[Door slams]

Sonny: I know what it's like to be young and desperate and make choices that change your life forever. Sometimes those choices backfire, and you end up hating yourself. You can be your own worst enemy and keep doing it, or you can make a different choice and change.

Claudia: Yeah, but that's all very glib and shrinky, but what if you can't change? What if they're right, and that's just who you are?

Sonny: That's a cop-out. You can change. You know, there would have been a time that I would have taken advantage of you tonight, and we would have hated ourselves for it. But my life right now is -- is starting to feel right. I got -- I got too much to lose, and I've been down that road way too many times. I'm not doing it again. Your father's a pig. There's no excuse for the way he treated you and the way he continues to treat you, and you are damaged because of him, but you are not damaged beyond repair.

Sonny: You've grown up a strong woman. Your father doesn't get to define you. You define yourself.

Claudia: Thanks. Well, I will be sure and stop by next time I need some psychotherapy. In the meantime, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

Jason: Hey, you ok?

Robin: Hey. No, I'm not ok. I am making a mess of this child's life, and it's not even born yet.

Jason: I doubt that's true.

Robin: Remember when we were together, and you would -- you would just be so clear about stuff that I was trying to figure out, not by preaching at me, but by just listening and pointing out flaws in my logic? Is it possible that you could do that now? Because I am so tired of fighting with everyone.

Jason: Yeah, sure. What -- what are you fighting about?

Robin: Ok. I love Patrick, I really do, but he's not cut out to be a father. I have tried to assure him that he can see this child whenever he wants to, even if that isn't that often, because there are no expectations, but then I had this small, correctible, medical complication.

Jason: Was it the baby? The baby ok?

Robin: The baby's fine. But it flipped some switch in Patrick, and now all of a sudden, he's starting to hover, and then he started making plans for us to move in together, which is not what I want at all, and so I overreacted by completely pushing him out of my life, and then he overreacted by suing me for visitation rights with the unborn child.

Jason: Ok, I'm -- I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. I mean, are you saying that you want Patrick out of your baby's life for good?

Kate: It's absurd. What is the point of having a private plane if you have to spend half of the night in a holding pattern?

Jax: The pilot will have us on the ground when it's our turn.

Kate: Go, go in there. Go, go tell him it's an emergency.

Jax: Now, that's not how it works. I don't think air traffic control is going to care about you wanting to minimize, you know, the damage of your love life.

Kate: Yeah.

Jax: That's not how it works, you know. We're in a queue. We land when it's our turn, you know.

Kate: I am just so glad you find this amusing. I don't -

Jax: But that's the way it is.

Kate: I don't, Jax. I love Sonny. I've spent half of my life loving Sonny, and my fairy tale is finally coming true, and now this happens? I'm actually scared that I could lose him over this.

[Door slams]

Sonny: If you're here to pick a fight with me, I'm not interested -

Carly: Do you know where your fiancée is?

Sonny: Yeah, she's -- flew somewhere with Jax at Manhattan -

Carly: Yeah, she's with Jax. Rein her in.

Maxie: Lulu already put Logan in the hospital once. She cracked his skull with a pipe wrench, remember? Scott Baldwin wanted to charge her for attempted murder then.

Lulu: But Logan woke up, and he explained everything. That's what throws me. How could he be someone who was so sweet and -- and compassionate and then turn into somebody capable of such mindless rage?

Johnny: But Baldwin's not going to understand that either. I agree with what Maxie's saying. Technically, Logan was unarmed. You have no cuts or bruises. There's no evidence that Logan attacked you.

Lulu: But the door.

Maxie: We can't prove Logan did that. We can't even prove he's the one who attacked me. This whole thing could look like a setup.

Lulu: What are you saying?

Johnny: She's saying that Baldwin could build a case against you for murder. Is that the famous to-do list? That's right.

Patrick: Page me when the patient wakes up.

Anna: Oh, hi.

Patrick: Hi.

Anna: Oh, my god. Hello.

Noah: Hey, I was hoping to run into you.

Anna: Yeah, well, you did. What do you think about the soon-to-be-upon-us blessed event?

Noah: Oh, yeah, grandparents. Yahoo.

Anna: Yeah, it's horrifying. I wanted to talk to you. Robin's pretty nervous about this whole court thing.

Noah: What court thing?

Patrick: I'm suing Robin for visitation of our child.

Noah: Are you serious? You selfish ass.

Patrick: Excuse me?

Noah: You drop the lawsuit immediately, or I'm putting myself on Robin's witness list.

Robin: I don't really want to push Patrick out of the baby's life. I'm just trying to deal with the hand that I was dealt. Some guys aren't cut out to be fathers, and Patrick is one of those people, so instead of letting him make some doomed attempt at fatherhood and it blowing up in our faces, I was just trying to head off a disaster. Or is my mother right, and I'm just trying to control the one thing that I can?

Jason: It's just -- being pregnant changed you, right?

Robin: Absolutely.

Jason: Well -- becoming a father would probably change Patrick, too. I mean, I know there's a bunch of guys out there who have kids who could care less, but from what you've told me and from what I've seen, I don't really think Patrick is like that. I don't think you should take his right away just because you're afraid or just because you can't predict how it's all going to turn out.

[Jason turns to see Elizabeth]

Kate: Hi. So you're probably a little surprised to see me so early. My plans got derailed. Jax and I were in the back of a limo, and, well, I lost my ring. My -- my engagement ring, it slipped. Ok, I'm not doing this very well. This is what I'm trying to say. I love you.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Kate: Only you. I mean, I'm spending a lot of time with Jax. He's my business partner. We have the magazine to launch. But that's where it ends. There was this little incident tonight, a little awkward -

Sonny: Ok, stop dancing. I know what happened. Somebody took a picture of you doing -- Jax.

Carly: You're home.

Jax: Yeah, Kate and I never actually made it to the benefit.

Carly: Good. We can talk. Well, you can talk, and I'll listen.

Jax: Ok.

Carly: You can start with how Kate's head ended up in your lap, and then you can tell me how she's not hitting on you and how our marriage isn't in trouble.

Lulu: I swear I did not kill Logan on purpose.

Johnny: I know. It's just going to be difficult to prove. That's why we need to find another way to handle this.

Lulu: What other way?

Johnny: No cops. We dump the body, destroy the evidence. Logan had a lot of enemies. No one's going to jump to you.

Lulu: No, no, no, no, we cannot do that.

Maxie: Oh, come on, Lulu. Now is not the time to be all moralistic, ok? Think about it. You're Laura's daughter with Luke, living proof that Scott lost the woman he loves to the man he hates. Hurting you is like hurting your dad, not to mention Scott's going to have a really hard time figuring out why you stuck around here when you could have just run away.

Lulu: I panicked, ok?

Johnny: No one's blaming you. Maxie's just being realistic. The best thing to do at this point is cover it up. Will you trust me?

Claudia: Must have been some party.

Claudia: Who died?

Johnny: Logan Hayes. I killed him. Hey mom, can I have a turkey sandwich?
