Elizabeth: How are you doing?
Nikolas: Hey, they just -- they took nadine for some more tests.
Elizabeth: That isn't what i asked. In case you don't remember, you were also in a fire last night. You haven't even changed out of your sooty clothes.
Nikolas: I know. I should probably call alfred. I left my cell phone --
Elizabeth: He already called. I told him you were ok.
Nikolas: Oh. How's spencer? Did he say --
Elizabeth: He's fine. He's fine. Alfred said he's got everything under control, and you can stay here as long as you need. Which is good since obviously something's keeping you here.
Nikolas: Yeah. I just -- I feel so restless sometimes. You know? Like I'm -- like I'm coming out of my own skin. And I try to find some -- some purpose or meaning in this whole thing. I mean, that's -- that's what the clinic was for. And then nadine almost died there.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, the fire wasn't your fault.
Nikolas: I know.
Elizabeth: In fact, you saved nadine and matt's lives.
Nikolas: I know. It's just -- it makes you not want to invest or care about anything you love, because it can be taken away from you so easily.
Elizabeth: You know what i think? I think it scared you to see nadine in danger. And whether you wanted to or not, it made you realize that you care for her. And now you're alive, and she's alive. And what happens next? You can either hide from what's in front of you or take the chance while you can.
Carly: Hey, marty, can you reschedule that manager meeting for tomorrow after the meeting i have with the new pr company?
Marty: I'll take care of it.
Carly: Thank you.
Marty: Shall I send over a waiter to take your lunch order?
Carly: No, I'm not hungry. Thanks.
Maxie: Go ahead.
Spinelli: No, maximista is most gifted in the art of persuasion.
Maxie: Spinelli, it's your idea.
Carly: Is there a problem?
Spinelli: As it happens, um, jackal and maximista bring solutions in this time of tenseness and loneliness.
Carly: What time?
Maxie: It's ok, carly, you don't have to pretend.
Spinelli: You're among friends.
Carly: I am?
Spinelli: Yes. The pain of great sorrow is, is written on your brow.
Carly: I have lines on my face?
Spinelli: No. You remain as lovely as ever despite your heartbreak. And the jackal and maximista here are -- are here to console you in the wake of your breakup with the white knight jax.
Carly:
[Laughing] Oh, no. No way.
Maxie: No, no, no. Just -- just hear us out.
Carly: Sitting here with you two, in a group therapy session, is pretty much my idea of hell.
Maxie: There is no worse hell than being dumped.
Spinelli: But the valkyrie must refrain from focusing on the negative.
Maxie: Exactly. It's just time to face the truth. Sometimes no matter how much you love a guy, things just don't work out. And as soon as you accept that, it's easier to move on.
Spinelli: Yeah, with our able assistance.
Carly: What kind of assistance?
Maxie: It's a gift horse. Just run with it.
Spinelli: Despite your being deserted by your loved one, the jackal and maximista here are going to provide you with your pick of men.
Robin: Hi. Sorry I'm late. I just got called in for an emergency consult.
Anna: Oh, no worries. I'm going to buy a car seat, not diffuse a bomb.
Robin: And you've done that how many times?
Anna: Enough to know that it is mundane in comparison to watching my little girl have her little girl.
Robin: It means a lot to me that you took a leave of absence until the baby comes.
Anna: I wouldn't miss this special event for all the tea in china. I'm here to support you, and to drive you a little crazy, because you're going to find out soon enough, that's exactly what parents are here for.
Robin: So much to look forward to.
Anna: Yay.
Robin: Hey, can you do me a favor?
Anna: Hmm, what?
Robin: Can you call headquarters and ask to use the database?
Anna: Pourquoi?
Robin: I know it's a little unorthodox, but we have a patient here, a doctor actually, and we're trying to find his family.
Jason: Where -- where have you been?
Diane: I had to change my shoes. I wasn't walking tall enough. Course, that happens when you lean on a man.
Jason: What?
Diane: All right, now, the city council's going to ask you some very tough questions before they simply hand out building permits. So, your answers need to sound sincere. Since you are a man, and all men are good liars, that shouldn't be very difficult for you.
Jason: Are you ok?
Max: Who's to say you haven't cheated on me?
Lulu: It feels so great to just be with you and not be worried that someone's going to come and drag you away.
Johnny: I'll never take my freedom for granted again.
[Knock on door] Lainey: Hi. Lulu, time for group.
Lulu: Group. Lainey: Group.
Lulu: Uh, johnny's free. That's better for me than any group. Lainey: You've committed to the program.
Johnny: She's right.
Lulu: Ok. Well, if you want to wait and stay and see me after?
Johnny: Where else would I be?
Lulu: In case I forgot to mention it, you look very good without handcuffs.
[Johnny chuckles]
Johnny: She's getting better. Lainey: Lulu has a long road to a full recovery.
Johnny: Well, but she seems a lot more relaxed and confident since I was acquitted. Lainey: Lulu testified to killing logan on the witness stand. I wasn't there, but the reports of her behavior concern me.
Johnny: Scott baldwin put her under a lot of pressure. Lainey: So have you.
Johnny: I love her. Lainey: Regardless of your intentions, you represent violence and danger, upheaval to lulu. You brought chaos into her life. And right now she's not strong enough to handle it. She may never be. So please, for lulu's sake, make this your last visit.
Jerry: Hello, darling. The door was open, so --
Alexis: Like it would have mattered if it were locked. I have so much work to do. And as nice as it was to see you last night, although unexpected, this is a distraction that i can't afford.
Jerry: Well, a distraction is better than most things I've been called. How are you? Oh, by the way, the plant is a replacement for the one i knocked off the porch the other day when I was leaving in the wee hours of the morning to avoid the awkwardness of sitting at the breakfast table with your children.
Alexis: Bye-bye.
Jerry: No, no -- and -- and, for the record, I did not give in to temptation and look at anything on your desk.
Alexis: It doesn't matter. Go right ahead. Ever since we started sleeping together I never leave anything more compromising than a grocery list.
Jerry: Yes, I see. Very wise. Oh, you forgot butter.
Alexis: Hmm.
Jerry: What can I say? I'm unconscionable. But, that's what you love about me. You on the right side of the law and me --
Alexis: I'm busy.
Jerry: Oh, yes, you must be. I heard about the fire in nikolas' clinic. And it must be a top priority.
Alexis: Yes, it is, actually. Shoo.
Jerry: Any idea how the fire started?
Alexis: Why are you so interested?
Nikolas: Ok, I consider myself a fairly intelligent man, but i can't make heads or tails of these test results.
Nadine: Well, I am a nurse, remember? So I do speak medicalese. You could simply let me read my chart.
Nikolas: Ok, translation please.
Nadine: All right. Uh, well, it looks like I have minor smoke inhalation, and i should be released today.
Nikolas: Yeah, but, I mean, you can't -- you can't be alone in your -- in your apartment right now. I mean, you could have -- there could be complications. You could -- you know?
Nadine: First of all, you're not my doctor. And secondly, I'm not staying in this hospital a second longer than I have to.
Nikolas: No, no, of course not. I'm just saying you need -- you need downtime. Rest. Relaxation. Sunshine. Things like that.
Nadine: Hmm, you're right. You know what? I'm going to spend a month on my private yacht, cruising the caribbean. That should do the trick.
Nikolas: Ok. Actually I was -- I was hoping that you would come stay with me at wyndemere.
Patrick: I made a major miscalculation asking robin to marry me over the P.A. System. I left myself wide open for her public humiliation.
Noah: Humiliation is good for the soul.
Patrick: I'll be sure to do it more often.
Noah: No, no listen, honestly. Honestly. I mean, you -- you had the courage to put your heart on the line for your woman and for your baby. It was the right thing to do.
Patrick: For a change.
Noah: I've said this many times, but I really mean it, patrick. I'm very proud of you.
Patrick: Wow. Actually sounds like a real dad talking.
Noah: Yeah, well, I -- I didn't do what I should've when I had the moment, but you're not even a father yet. You're already making better choices than I've made.
Patrick: Dad, you've done some things right along the way.
Noah: I made more mistakes than you.
Patrick: Well, I'm sure I'll find new ones about myself once this baby's born.
Noah:
[Chuckles] You're going to be a hell of a dad.
Patrick: Thanks.
Diane: If you haven't cheated on me yet, you will.
Max:
[Scoffs] I said nothing about cheating.
Diane: You made it crystal clear that you heartily condone it.
Max: You know what this is? This is a guilty conscious.
Diane: Excuse me?
Max: You're going on the attack to cover up the fact that you cheated on me.
Diane: That is a ridiculous assertion. Now you are just grasping at straws.
Max: I don't hear you denying it.
Diane: That's because it's beneath my dignity to even discuss it.
Max: Well, excuse me for lowering your standards.
Diane: Ok, you know what you're doing now? You're being a typical man, trying to turn your transgression back on me.
Max: You just can't admit you're wrong.
Diane: "I'm right, you're wrong." That is a tactic used only by the desperate.
Max: There you go again, doing what you always do. Treating everything like it's some kind of legal argument.
Diane: Well, I'm sorry. If you find my manner overbearing and abrasive, you should have spoken up months ago.
Jason: Ok, both of you, stop now.
Lulu: Johnny? Johnny's voice: It was great to see you. I'm glad you're getting better, and I don't want to mess with your progress. Take care -- I love you.
Lulu: Mom?
Laura: Honey, is that you?
Lulu: Oh, yes. Hi.
Laura: It's all right. I was just dozing.
Lulu: It scares me to see you in this chair. I don't know why you would want to be in this chair, now that you're better. Unless you never came out of it in the first place.
Jason: Look, I don't know what's going on here, but I--
Diane: I'll tell you what's going. What's going on is mr. Giambetti willing to trade in a mature, career-driven, intelligent woman for a cheap twenty-something in a tight sweater.
Max: You'd rather be with the boss than the flunky. No wonder why you didn't want kate to marry mr. C. You probably wanted him all for yourself.
Diane: That is patently absurd.
Max: All mr. C's lady lawyers eventually fall for him.
Diane: Me? Attracted to sonny? I have never been so insulted in my life.
Max: Ok, maybe I've --
Diane: But you know what, max? Now that I think of it. You bring up an excellent point. Why did I choose the bodyguard over, let's say, an attorney or a venture capitalist? I could be spending my weekends in intellectual pursuits, rather than holed up in some rickety cabin fishing till my waders rot.
Max: You said you liked to fish.
Diane: Well, of course. Who wouldn't enjoy spearing the cheek of an innocent trout with a needle?
Max: Then don't go fishing with me. Go to a polo game with some stuffy banker instead.
Diane: Consider it done. My slumming days are over. We're through.
Max: Diane, maybe if we -- I --
Diane: I don't want to hear it! Be gone with you, boy toy.
[Crying] Oh, god, oh --
Carly: This is a joke, right?
Spinelli: On the contrary, we are most sincere. The jackal researched a myriad of dating sites. And the chosen one is highly regarded and discerning and boasts many happily coupled alumni.
Carly: Ok, thank you, spinelli. Thank you. But I'm not ready. Jax and I just broke up. I'm felling really raw. And if I started dating now, i might -- no, I know I would do something really stupid. Ok?
Maxie: That's what jason said.
Carly: Jason knows you guys are doing this?
Spinelli: The jackal and maximista, yes, we confided our plan to stone cold. And -- and he advised that we only forge ahead, pending the valkyrie's approval. Even though he was a bit skeptical.
Maxie: Prove jason wrong. Come on, carly, you've got to get your game back. Why should you be sitting at home crying into your pint of ice cream when jax is probably out having a good time?
Carly: Maxie, jax is hurting as much as I am, ok?
Maxie: I don't know about that. Look.
Carly: You're right. It's time for me to get my game back. Why don't you show me the men you found for me to date.
Jerry: I went by the clinic this morning to check on the nurse who's caught in the fire. Nikolas was with her.
Alexis: And why on earth would you be so interested?
Jerry: Well, I have to admit that I had an ulterior motive.
Alexis: What a surprise.
Jerry: I was trying to placate your nephew, so you would see me in a more favorable light. I was trying to track down the source of the counterfeit drugs at his clinic.
Alexis: And?
Jerry: And I haven't yet been successful.
Alexis: One would think that you're attempting to reform.
Jerry: You provide a powerful incentive, my darling.
Alexis: And you talk a good game.
Jerry: Well, after last night, you know there's so much more to me than talk.
[Knock on door]
Lucky: I got the report you wanted -- I can come back.
Alexis: No, come in. If it has to do with the clinic, I want to hear about it.
Lucky: It was definitely arson. Inspectors found charred remains of a fire bomb.
Anna: So according to his paperwork, his mother is dead, deceased, and there are no other relatives listed. Um, full name is dr. Matthew randall hunter. Mm-hmm, yeah.
Noah: Did you say matthew hunter?
Anna: Oh, hold on, paul. Uh, yeah, it's this guy in here. He was in a fire, and they can't locate his family, poor guy. So I'm -- I called in a favor to headquarters. What? Yeah, I'm still here. Uh, so well, then just -- you know, call me back and let me know what you find out. Ok, bye.
Anna: You ok?
Noah: Yeah.
Anna: Do you know him?
Laura: I can get out of this chair whenever I like.
Lulu: It's just beyond good timing. I needed you so much.
Laura: You still do, don't you?
Lulu: Yes, yes. I do. I -- my hallucinations of logan made me think I was going insane and then I come in here and you woke up. You woke up like that. And you talked me through my fears, and then my hallucinations went away. It's like -- it's like I needed you so much, I invented you.
Laura: Invented me?
Lulu: Nobody else has seen you but me. You don't want anybody else to see you. You don't even want nikolas or lucky. What if I've made you up -- doctor: Laura -- oh, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Lulu: Who are you? Doctor: I'm here to consult on your mother's case.
