Monday, February 4th: Part 1 Claudia: Wow.Look at you. You've turned into quite a man, despite things. How you doing, daddy?
Anthony: Who are you?
[Woman chuckles]
anthony: You're not claudia. Who is this puttana pretending to be my daughter?
Claudia: Daddy, it's me, really.
Johnny: Claudia, what are you doing here?
Claudia: Ask trevor -- he's the one who sent for me.
Sonny: It must be true what they say -- timing is everything. Obviously, carly's not home, so i'm going to go ahead --
kate: Jax and i were out talking, it started to rain, we got soaked --
sonny: You don't owe me explanations about anything.
Jax: He's right, you don't. But i'll -- if you guys want to be alone --
kate: No, no -- no, jax, it's all right. Sonny's right -- we don't owe each other explanations, we don't owe each other anything.
[Truck horn honks]
[tires screech]
carly: Come on, jax.
[Tires screech]
sam: Agh -- get off -- agh! Leave --
man: Ugh!
jason: Elizabeth, it's me. I just took a walk down the drive to see if you were coming, and i noticed that the roads are -- are really bad and you should've been here by now. I'm just -- i'm worried about you, or i'm just anxious to see you -- i don't know. Just, please, call me as soon as you get this, ok? Thanks.
Lucky: It's too late for me and elizabeth. You know, there's always going to be a part of me that will love her. I mean, she was the first girl who made me understand what love could really be. I saw things i never even knew existed, and we were kids.
Lulu: So?
Lucky: So, we grew up. And growing up changes things, even love. Elizabeth and i, we have all this stuff between us now --= the lies and the hurt, affairs, addiction, children by other fathers. I mean, we've been through so much -- i mean, how we even put up with each other -- right now, i just appreciate the fact that she has separated herself away from jason for the sake of jake. I don't know how long it's going to last. Lu, it's ok, relax. I know you know that jason is jake's father. How could you not?
Lulu: Spinelli told me. I didn't tell anyone, i swear.
Lucky: Because of your loyalty to jason?
Lulu: Be-- no, because i didn't know what i should or shouldn't do, so i kept my mouth shut. I am so sorry, lucky. I just kept wondering what mom would've said.
Lucky: Are you kidding? Mom -- she would've loved if elizabeth and i were able to work it out. I mean, she was an incurable romantic. A card-carrying optimist -- that's the way she was always.
Lulu: Well, she had to be. She was married to dad, she had no choice.
Lucky: Yeah, well, she looks past things, even the bad. Looks like i inherited the blinders for that but not the forgiveness.
Lulu: What happened with you and sam?
Lucky: She did something that i don't know is forgivable.
Lulu: So she did something to you?
Lucky: I just saw the kind of person that she can be.
Lulu: Well, we can all be rotten people under the right circumstances.
Lucky: Or the wrong circumstances.
Lulu: Ok, i am not defending sam -- i don't even like her. She -- you know, i just want you to be happy, and it seemed like sam made you happy, kind of.
Lucky: Well, i've lived with enough lies, enough to last a lifetime. And sam -- not even 10 minutes out that door, she called back and told me something else that wasn't true. And the idiot that i am, i was starting to believe what we had could be -- real.
Lulu: And now?
Lucky: Now? I don't care what happens.
[Thunder]
anthony: What are you doing bringing claudia back here from -- from wherever the hell she was?
Claudia: Milan, dad.
Trevor: You've changed.
Claudia: You mean from the scared little girl who's afraid of her own shadow? Afraid of you, afraid of daddy? Yeah. But then i suppose that's why you asked me back, isn't it?
Trevor: No. I told you your father was failing. I thought you might like to see him.
Claudia: You mean one last time?
Anthony: Will you quit talking about me like i'm not in the room, will you? Who said i'm failing? Where's maria? I want maria. How many times do i have to ask? Who are you again? What, nobody's listening? I'm not speaking english? What? Somebody get me my wife, and the rest of you clear out!
Trevor: That's a good idea. We've got a lot to talk about.
Claudia: You and johnny go. I want to stay and talk to my father. We have a lot of catching up to do.
Jax: Well, i think i'll just leave you guys alone --
kate: No, really, jax, that's not necessary. There's nothing that sonny and i could possibly discuss that you don't already know.
Sonny: You sure about that?
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Mm-hmm?
Kate: Jax knows that you proposed to me --
sonny: Hmm.
Kate: And that i got confused.
Sonny: Confused? No, no, you ran.
Jax: Well, that's not the worst reflex for a woman in her situation.
Sonny: Well, you know, the -- the night got a little too much for kate howard, and it was too many reminders of the past.
Jax: Yeah. Yeah, kate tells me she has a -- she has a pretty interesting background.
Sonny: She doesn't like to talk about it because, you know, it hurts too much, i guess -- i don't know.
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: She doesn't -- she doesn't want to be reminded who she is.
Kate: It does hurt --
sonny: Does it?
Kate: Too much, sonny --
sonny: Hmm. Ok.
Kate: Especially because i don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I mean, not somebody who will try to understand or give me the benefit of the doubt. But now i do.
Sonny: Hmm.
Kate: That's right, sonny. Jax now knows that the industrious kate howard of "couture" magazine used to steal beer, meet you under the boardwalk of coney island, and make out in the sand. He knows that i was really connie falconeri.
Carly: Ok, we're going to be ok. We're going to be ok.
Sonny: So you told jax who you really are? But yet when we were in bensonhurst at a restaurant, being waited on by an old friend of ours, you couldn't give an inch about who you were.
Kate: Sonny, i don't think this is the time to --
sonny: You and his sister hung out together -- she cut your damn hair -- but you couldn't tell him who you were? You couldn't be connie falconeri for 10 minutes, knowing that it -- it would make his night to see us together?
Kate: No, i couldn't.
Sonny: Kate howard couldn't!
Jax: Of course, you don't have things in your past that you wouldn't want dragged up in the middle of a polite conversation, sonny?
Sonny: Jax, i know who i am, and i know where i came from, and i'm not having this conversation with you. So, listen, you want to live dangerously, you want to -- you want to hang out with candy boy once a month, trying to steal some beer at coney island, you know, talking about your feelings? Go right ahead, because i don't have to care. Because i won't be seeing you around here anymore. See what i'm saying?
Kate: Yeah, well, see, that's where you're wrong, sonny. I've decided not to go back to manhattan. I'm going to make port charles my primary residence.
Trevor: Whatever you want to know, you can ask me.
Claudia: I will. But i want to talk to my father first, unless you know some reason why i shouldn't?
Trevor: No, claudia. You can talk to anybody you like to. Come on, john.
Johnny: What the hell is going on?
Trevor: I tell you, your father's failing.
Johnny: I've had it with you, trevor. Nothing is like you say. You talk out of both sides of your mouth, especially with me. You need to stop treating me like an idiot. I know exactly why you brought my half sister here.
Ian: Nurse johnson.
Epiphany: Dr. Devlin.
Ian: We never seem to get past that point of pleasantness, do we?
Epiphany: Probably because i can't get past the fact that there's more to you than you let on.
Patrick: Looks like she's got your number, ian. And what you're referring to is the frustrating inability to pierce the layers of education, training, and proficiency of our new staff member here. See, not many doctors can switch specialties from reconstructive surgery to oncology without batting an eye, but he's got practice. He would switch from single malt whiskey to body shots of tequila -- obviously depending on who he was hitting on at the time.
Epiphany: Hmm. Huh. That's more than i needed to know. Thank you -- whatever it was that you just said.
Ian: Methinks i detect a yearning for the drinking days of old.
Patrick: You know what? I'm just glad to have somebody here from med school that actually knows what they want out of life -- and what they don't want.
Robin: Have you seen nikolas?
Patrick: No. Why?
Robin: Well, because we were supposed to go over his drug protocol with him and i thought i left him in the exam room.
Nadine: Nikolas left.
Patrick: Where did he go, home?
Nadine: He said he was bored and wanted to go out for a drive. He told me he was going to run it by you.
Robin: In this weather?
Ian: And is driving such a good idea, given his condition?
Robin: Excuse me, but what do you know about nikolas' condition?
Emily: It stopped raining.
Nikolas: You changed your clothes again.
[Emily laughs]
emily: Well, i wear what your mind wants to see me in.
Nikolas: What's left of my mind.
Emily: Nikolas, things are changing, aren't they?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: I should've never left the hospital.
Emily: Ok, well, listen, we'll go back to the hospital. Where's your car?
Nikolas: I don't know. I don't know.
Emily: It's ok. It's going to be ok. What do you remember this time?
Nikolas: Enough to be afraid to tell anyone about it.
Johnny: Claudia's been your backup plan all along, hasn't she? If i got too out of line or you couldn't control me the way you controlled my father all these years, you thought as eldest child, claudia would be the perfect figurehead to head up this organization -- like my father did, like i refuse to be.
Trevor: Why are you so paranoid, john?
Johnny: It's not paranoia if someone's actually after you, is it? You run claudia while she runs the organization -- is that how things are going to work now?
Trevor: Look, for once in your life, will you stop acting with your emotions and think with your head, huh? And please, learn this business before you throw in with sonny corinthos and get yourself killed. You got to stop slipping up -- the cops will always get you. Because you got to know i am not going to let you or anyone else run this empire into the ground.
Johnny: Looks like you're the one that's slipped up, trevor. Claudia's not who you remember, and something tells me you're going to have a much tougher time with her than you ever dreamed of having with me. As far as i can see, she's already got your number, so you know what? I think i'm going to sit back and watch. This could be fun.
Claudia: Really did yourself good this time, eh, pop?
Anthony: Ah, what do you know?
Claudia: Only what i see.
Anthony: You look good. A little too slutty, but good. Why did you come?
Claudia: Trevor sent for me.
Anthony: Yeah, but why did you come? What do you want?
Kate: Will you sit?
Sonny: You want me to sit?
Sonny: All right. Ahem.
Kate: I will not grovel, sonny.
Sonny: All right.
Kate: I will not subject myself to your cold shoulder while i'm here.
Sonny: It's your time to waste.
Kate: Oh, no, it's our time to waste -- a time that we could be happy. Sonny, don't you get it? All those years ago, connie and sonny would've never made it, but kate and sonny could.
Sonny: I thought we weren't going to get into explanations, kate, and --
kate: All right, i'm not, ok?
Sonny: You keep stalking me --
kate: No, i'm not, all right? I'm just offering insight and possibilities. Look, you want connie more than you want kate, and i do want the label of kate howard more than the title of mrs. Sonny corinthos because, apparently, that comes with a target on my back.
Sonny: Ok, ok, you -- you have it -- you got it all figured out, then, ok? We're done, then. It's pretty much done, right?
Kate: No.
Sonny: What?
Kate: What it is, is something to build on. But you know what? Fine, all right? I'm just going to do it by myself, ok? I'll do it all by myself, while you go and you nurse your pride until you figure out that i'm right.
Sonny: Well, you got a hell of a surprise coming.
Kate: Maybe i do, but i think you're worth it. I think that we're worth it. So, go ahead, just try and stay away from me as long as you can. But it won't be forever because i saw in manhattan how hard you tried to make it work, sonny. I was paralyzed on that street corner in bensonhurst, and i will not be paralyzed again.
Sonny: Am i supposed to guess what you're trying to say? Am i supposed to care?
Kate: You already care.
Sonny: I said we're done.
Kate: And i say we're not. So, there are things in both of our pasts that we would like to keep dead, but we have something to build on.
Monica: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Lulu: I'm going to go to kelly's to get some takeout, but brace yourself, because when i get back, i'm going to beg you to let me crash here.
Lucky: You can stay here as long as you want.
Lulu: See -- you do care what happens to people.
Lucky: You're not "people," you're my sister.
Lulu: No, you care what happens to everybody, lucky, no matter how angry you are. If anything, you are somebody who cares too much, and i think that's what leads you into trouble.
[Lulu sighs] You want to be a good father to jake to make up for what dad did or didn't do.
Lucky: I wish it were that easy.
Lulu: I also know that you want to protect jake from jason's enemies. If everyone thinks you're his father, then he'll be safe, right?
Lucky: The truth is i want to protect jake from jason, too. I know that you have a different take on the guy.
Lulu: I -- i just know how kind he can be.
Lucky: And i know the business that he's in. I'd rather she have a child by anybody else. But i still think that this connection is going to get her into some kind of trouble that there's no getting out of.
Elizabeth: Jason? Jason?
Jason: Oh, thank God you're here, i was so -- i was so worried about you.
[Elizabeth sighs]
jason: You're shaking. What happened? Elizabeth: Just hold me.
Jason: Are you ok?
elizabeth: You're right. I shouldn't have tried to come, but i'm so glad i did. I couldn't spend another night in that hospital bed. It was just one awful dream after another.
Jason: It's ok. Here, sit down, you're safe. It's all right.
Elizabeth: I knew i needed to be with you. If i was ever going to fall asleep and feel safe again, it was with you -- that's why i called.
Jason: I'm glad you called.
Elizabeth: But i probably should've stopped to get a coffee or something. I was so focused on getting here, i almost didn't make it.
Jason: What -- what do you mean?
Elizabeth: I -- well, i -- i felt myself nodding off, and - and there was this moment when --
jason: When what?
Elizabeth: I think i fell asleep.
Jason: Oh, man, elizabeth, you -- you should've stopped. You know, you could've pulled over, and you know i would've been there in one minute for you. It's lucky you didn't get into an accident.
Elizabeth: But there was this moment when i was jarred awake, and i think the jolt i felt was -- was a car going off the road or hitting the shoulder or something. But i managed to hang on to the wheel, and i just kept driving. God, it scared me so bad, the adrenaline just pumped through me, and i rolled down the window and let the rain and the wind blow in my face. But it's over and i'm here, and i just -- oh -- i just want to get cleaned up and sit by the fire, is that ok?
Jason: Of course that's fine.
