document: Sam: Hi. This message is for Dr. Finn. It's Sam McCall. Dr. Finn, if you could call me back as soon as possible with that test result, um -- as you know, it's going to affect decisions that I have to make, so just call me as soon as possible. Okay. Thank you. Hey.
  Elizabeth: Hi. I was just dropping Jake off.
  Sam: Oh. Um, are you going in to work?
  Elizabeth: Yeah.
  Sam: Okay, uh, I'll probably see you there, then.
  Elizabeth: You're going back to the hospital? Is everything okay?
  Sam: [Sighs] I'm -- I'm not sure yet.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kevin: [Groans]
  [Monitor beeping]
  Laura: Kevin?
  Kevin: [Grunts] Morning.
  Laura: Hey. What are you doing?
  Kevin: Ow!
  Laura: Oh.
  Kevin: I'm gonna take a walk. I've been in this bed for days, and I'm sick of this damn room.
  Laura: No, no, no. You've been -- ow. That hurts, right?
  Kevin: Yeah.
  Laura: That's because you've been shot, and you're still recuperating.
  Kevin: [Sighs]
  Laura: Besides, you're all hooked up here to all these things.
  Kevin: All right, oh -- hey.
  Laura: You can't --
  Kevin: Hey, I know you. You saved my life. I hope you realize that.
  Laura: [Laughs] Yeah, I still can't believe it really. I actually cut a bullet out of your shoulder.
  Kevin: Yeah, which means I owe you a little bit of thanks, I-I-I think. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for everything you did for me.
  Laura: You actually sang my praises quite a bit... [Chuckles] When you were drifting in and out.
  Kevin: I did?
  Laura: Yeah.
  Kevin: On the plane? Hm. That's -- that's a bit of a blur for me.
  Laura: So, you don't remember anything you said to me on the plane?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Ava: I hate you, Scott Baldwin. And I hate you, Morgan. First night in my own bed in weeks, and I couldn't sleep, because you think you're gonna marry my daughter. [Sighs]
  [Gunshot echoes]
  Ava: Nikolas!
  [Doorknob rattles]
  [Lockbox clicks]
  [Lock clicks]
  Ava: [Gasps] [Sighs] Holt. [Sighs] What are you doing breaking into my place, huh?
  Holt: Uh, I was worried. The doorman said the neighbors reported shouting last night, and nobody answered when I rang the doorbell.
  Ava: I had ear plugs in. I couldn't sleep. You know, I don't believe that my neighbors or my doorman called you to check on me. So why are you here?
  Holt: We need to talk about your brother.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Guard: Up and at 'em, Jerome.
  Julian: [Sighs] Yeah. I figured they'd transfer me to Pentonville before I even got convicted. Oh, at least that place is climate controlled.
  Guard: Hey, quit whining. Your attorney is here to speak to you.
  Julian: What do you want, Scotty? [Sighs] You're here.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kristina: That morning rush wasn't fun.
  Aaron: Mm-hmm.
  Kristina: But I guess you can't complain too much about doing good business. I know it'd make my dad happy.
  Aaron: Yeah, we're running kind of low on napkins over here.
  Kristina: Okay. I'll go get some. Um... you know, I'm -- I'm really proud of how we've made this place a success.
  Aaron: Could you, um, grab some stirrers while you're at it, please?
  Kristina: Is this really how you want things to go from now on? You ignore me except to talk shop?
  Aaron: Well, uh, we don't have to work the same shifts if you don't want. You know, you could do mornings and early afternoons. I'll take late afternoons and evenings. And we don't have to talk at all.
  Kristina: What I want is to clear the air. Instead of avoiding each other, let's talk about what I did to you and why.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Julian: I can't believe this. I mean, do the girls know you're here?
  Alexis: I'd like to have a conversation with him. Uh, inside the cell, please, not with the bars in between. I know what I'm doing.
  [Lock rattles, clicks]
  [Door closes, lock clicks]
  Julian: That means a lot to me, you know, that you'd want to come inside my cell without the protection of bars.
  Alexis: It's an important conversation. I wanted to have it personally.
  Julian: I suppose you want my signature, but I... [Sighs] I just don't know if I'm ready to give up on us yet.
  Alexis: I don't want you to sign the papers.
  Julian: But at the courthouse, after my arraignment, you said our marriage was over.
  Alexis: I want you to tear them up. I still want to be your wife.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Ava: Julian already asked me to help him escape. And I'll tell you what I told him. I can't do it.
  Holt: But you are head of the Jerome family now.
  Ava: [Chuckles] No. I can see why you would jump to that conclusion, but, no. I'm not. Just like I told my brother, I'm out. I'm out of the business. My only job now is to take care of my daughters, to keep them safe, even from their own bad decisions.
  Holt: Your brother is family, too.
  Ava: Holt. I can't be a part of any plan to help my brother escape and flee the country. But if someone were to take it upon themselves to make that happen, I wouldn't be opposed. Do you understand?
  [Door closes]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Julian: You still want to be my wife? And nobody's fighting you on this?
  Alexis: Everybody's fighting me on it. The girls are threatening to cut me off, but I-I can't give up. I-I know that there's something more to this, and I can't give up because I still love you.
  Julian: Alexis, I hurt you. I...
  Alexis: We hurt each other.
  Julian: But you -- [Sighs] You said I crossed the line, that we couldn't go back. How can you possibly forgive me?
  Alexis: I will manage to get you out of here, and then we are gonna go someplace where nobody knows us -- no history, no mob, just us -- and we will figure this out. We'll start over.
  Julian: [Sighs] That sounds wonderful to me.
  Alexis: I can't live without you.
  [As they kiss, Julian wakes up from his dream.]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Alexis: Commissioner.
  Jordan: Alexis, wait. Uh... I know that your hearing for the Bar Association is today. I just -- I just wanted to wish you good luck.
  Alexis: Let's put it this way -- if you need any legal advice, you should ask me right now, because as of tomorrow, I may not be an attorney anymore.
  Jordan: Listen, I know that I came pretty hard at you during the investigation, but you have to know you were never our real target. Our goal was to get Julian to confess.
  Alexis: I understand.
  Jordan: And in the end, I mean, you wore a wire. You got Julian to confess. That's got to mean something with the bar.
  Alexis: The bar is gonna focus on my failure to act. I knew that Julian ordered the hit on Duke Lavery. I knew that it was a conflict of interest when I took the case for Carlos. And yet, I did it anyway. It's a breach of ethics.
  Jordan: At the very least, Julian is out of your life. You never have to worry about feeling threatened by him again.
  Alexis: Yeah.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: I didn't say anything to Danny, because I didn't want him to get scared, but Jason had to spend the night at GH for observation.
  Elizabeth: Why? What's wrong with him?
  Sam: They think that he may have contracted malaria in Greece.
  Elizabeth: Oh.
  Sam: Yeah.
  Elizabeth: Oh, I had no idea. Well, what about you? You've -- you've been with him.
  Sam: Yeah, I don't know. I'm waiting for my test results, but I got to tell you -- I'm starting to get a little freaked out about it, because what if I pass it along to my child?
  Elizabeth: Oh, I can put your mind at ease about Danny. Malaria isn't passed from person to person like a cold or a flu. People usually get it from mosquito bites. The only way a mother can pass it on to her child is in utero, during pregnancy.
  Sam: [Sighs]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nurse: Hey, hey, hey, hey. I've told you more than once -- Dr. Collins is only allowed one visitor at a time.
  Lucy: That's too darn bad because you would not let me see him last night, so I'm gonna see him right now.
  Nurse: I don't make the rules. I just uphold them.
  Lucy: Oh, for Petey's sakes! Do you not really know who I am? I am Lucy Coe. I am mistress of ceremonies of the Nurses' Ball. I actually served on the hospital board here. And I was not only married to one, not two, but -- count 'em -- three doctors who are on staff here, so if I want to see Kevin, I am gonna see him, and you can't stop me. Hm!
  Nurse: Well, maybe I can't, but Security can.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kevin: The flight, I really -- I-I don't remember much about it.
  Laura: Mm.
  Kevin: It was rough. Maybe I'm -- I'm lucky I don't remember more.
  Laura: Right.
  Kevin: Oh, did I -- did I say something embarrassing? Oh, I'm so sorry if I did. Blame the drugs and the fever.
  [Laura remembers Kevin saying this on the plane: My God, you have beautiful eyes. The last few years of my life, I was sleepwalking, trying to save a marriage that was long over. I was burying myself in my work, letting my passions slip away. But you -- you brought me back. You woke me up.]
  Laura: You, uh... you didn't say anything embarrassing at all. You -- you thanked me for being a good friends.
  Kevin: [Chuckles] Phew.
  [Both laugh]
  Kevin: You are the very best kind of friend.
  [Footsteps approaching]
  Lucy: [Sighs] Am I interrupting?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Elizabeth: Malaria might have caused your lightheadedness and your fainting spells, but yesterday you didn't have a fever, your vitals were excellent.
  Sam: [Sighs]
  Elizabeth: And with malaria, you would have a high fever, low blood pressure -- are you feeling okay?
  Sam: Yeah, yeah, I am. I just need a minute.
  Elizabeth: Let me get you some water.
  Sam: [Coughs] [Groaning] I think I need the bathroom.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Aaron: Yeah, all right, you want to get into this? I don't want to be a jerk about it, but you lied to me.
  Kristina: Because I didn't tell you that Parker was a woman.
  Aaron: Okay, no, I don't care that she's a woman. I care that you weren't honest. Yeah, you told me you had a crush on your professor, but you also told me it was in the past, right -- over completely, done with. Then, you go and sleep with her the first chance you get. Look, I know we never said that we were exclusive. But when we slept together, like, that meant something to me. I thought it was special. But it turns out I'm just the hetero stand-in for the person you actually want to be with.
  Kristina: Okay. I deserved all of that. I was unfair, and -- and, yes, emotionally dishonest. And for that, I apologize -- no lying, nothing held back. I'm truly sorry for the way that I treated you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Guard: Jerome! You've got a visitor.
  Julian: Tell whoever it is I'm not in the mood. [Sighs] Alexis.
  Alexis: Why are you smiling?
  Julian: You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Can you give us a moment, please?
  Alexis: No. I'd like you to stay. That stunt you pulled at the arraignment...
  Julian: [Sighs]
  Alexis: ...Declaring your love for me and requesting that you be released into my custody -- I have no idea what you were trying to pull.
  Julian: Well, I thought I made myself perfectly clear. I love you.
  Alexis: You tried to kill me, Julian. You're never gonna see the light outside of a prison again.
  Julian: So, is that why you're here, to -- to gloat?
  Alexis: Your children no longer have their father. Danny no longer has his grandfather. You imploded my marriage in less than a year. Believe me, I find no joy in any of the destruction that you've caused.
  Julian: So, what do you want, Alexis?
  Alexis: I need something from you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jordan: [Chuckles] Uh... actually, the -- the plan was to bring you breakfast at your office.
  André: You and what army?
  Jordan: [Chuckles] Um, yeah, I guess I did kind of order a lot. Maybe I'm overcompensating. I don't know. I didn't like the way we left things, and I started thinking about all the times that you brought me breakfast at the station. And...I don't know. I knew you were working the night shift, so I thought I'd do you the favor.
  André: That's sweet. And you're right. It's been a while since we saw each other.
  Jordan: I know. And that's totally, totally on me. I have been up to my ears in false leads about the deaths at GH.
  André: Listen, as long as we're here, why don't we grab breakfast away from our jobs? Maybe we can get to the bottom of what's going on between us.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kristina: Part of the reason why I didn't tell you right away is because it's hard to explain something that you don't understand yourself. I've always been attracted to men. Like, I look at you, and I'm very attracted to you. But I've also been drawn to women, just not in the same way.
  Aaron: Okay, so, before Parker, you never had a-a girl crush?
  Kristina: Probably, but in the past it was always, like, "That girl's really cool. I want to be like her." It was never "I want to be with her." But with Parker, it was different. That was the first time I wanted to be with a woman the same way that I've been with men.
  Aaron: Did that freak you out?
  Kristina: Yes and no. When I was with Parker, I was so attracted to her that's all I could see. That's why I wound up failing her class. You know, I couldn't focus on anything but my feelings. And she was married to a woman, and I got suspended. And I came home, and even though nothing physical happened between us, I was still completely heartbroken. And then, I met you. And...you're such a great guy. You're smart and fun and...handsome.
  Aaron: [Sighs]
  Kristina: And that night we spent together, it meant something to me.
  Aaron: Just not as much as the night that you spent with her.
  Kristina: Parker was in town for a conference, and...I went to tell her that I had moved on with you and that I didn't have feelings for her. And then, I noticed she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and she told me that her marriage was over. And a part of me felt like... I should go for it, that I should experience it in real life and not in my head so I can finally understand who I am.
  Aaron: [Sighs] And then -- and what about me? Just collateral damage to your life search?
  Kristina: I was selfish and wrong. And I never meant to hurt you, Aaron. And now that I have, I don't know how to make things right.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: Hey. Sorry about that.
  Elizabeth: Are you sure you don't want to sit down and rest?
  Sam: No, I'm -- I'm good. Actually, once I throw up, I'm normally done with it. [Sighs] Okay. [Sighs] You can probably figure it out, so I guess I'll just tell you. I'm... I'm pregnant.
  Elizabeth: [Sighs] Congratulations. I'm sure you and -- and Jason are thrilled.
  Sam: Um, Jason doesn't know yet. I was about to tell him, and I found out that he was sick. So that became the focus. We still don't know if Jason has malaria, but if he does, then I could have it, too, and you just said yourself that the only way that a mother can... pass it along to their child is in utero.
  Elizabeth: Sam, obviously this is your decision, and --
  Sam: I-I can't tell Jason about this until I know my baby is gonna be okay. Can you promise me -- promise me you won't say anything to him?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kevin: Lucy, what are you doing here?
  Nurse: I'm sorry, Dr. Collins. I tried to stop her, but she barged right past me.
  Kevin: [Sighs] I-it's all right. She can stay.
  Lucy: See? I told you he would be very happy to see me. Thank you, Nurse.
  Laura: Well, um, I think I'll go get our test results.
  Kevin: Oh. Okay.
  Laura: Excuse me.
  Lucy: [Sighs] Um... t-test results -- what's that about?
  Kevin: Uh, yeah, we've both been tested for malaria. Jason Morgan might have it.
  Lucy: Oh, well, I-I certainly hope you don't get sick on top of... [Sighs] Being shot.
  Kevin: Been a while.
  Lucy: [Voice breaking] Yeah. Yeah, it has. Look, Mister, you can't do this to me, okay? I-I do not know what I would do if I lost you.
  Kevin: Well, I didn't know you still cared.
  Lucy: That's not fair. I-I know I screwed up, but... you will always be my doc, and you will always be my best friend. And I do not want to spend another two years pretending that you're not.
  Kevin: You know what? Neither do I. It's not healthy to walk around with all that anger.
  Lucy: Oh. [Laughs] For you. [Laughs]
  Kevin: Is this supposed to be Sigmund?
  Lucy: Well, yeah, but, you know, it's the best I could do on short notice, and I just thought you needed a friend to keep you company while you're getting better. But I, um, now realize that role has already been filled.
  Kevin: What are you talking about?
  Lucy: Come on, Doc. Do I have to spell it out? You are crushing on Laura.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  [Elevator bell dings]
  Ava: Laura. Hi.
  Laura: Oh, hi, Ava. Oh, so, I guess everybody who went to Greece all has to take the same malaria test. [Chuckling]
  Ava: Yes, that's why I'm here.
  Laura: Yeah, I just got my results and Kevin's, too.
  Ava: Oh. Good luck with that.
  Laura: Oh, thanks.
  Ava: How is Kevin doing?
  Laura: Oh, much, much better. Thank you.
  Ava: Oh.
  Laura: Thanks for asking.
  Ava: Please, tell him that I'm very happy to hear that.
  Laura: I will.
  Ava: I'm gonna go get my test.
  Laura: Actually, Ava.
  Ava: Yeah?
  Laura: Um, if you've got a couple of minutes, I-I'd really like to ask you a few questions about my son.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Julian: So, what do you want from me?
  Alexis: I want you to speak to the Bar Association on my behalf.
  Julian: Really? Me?
  Alexis: It might mean the difference between me being disbarred or not.
  Julian: Well, I'm not sure what good that would do.
  Alexis: I want to give you a little bit of free advice. The evidence against you is overwhelming. And the only chance of leniency that you have is to save the authorities the cost of a trial. Cut a deal.
  Julian: Send myself to prison?
  Alexis: You've already trashed your life, Julian. What is the point of taking me down with you? You pressured me into defending Carlos, and you know it.
  Julian: When have I ever been able to convince you to do something you didn't want to do?
  Alexis: You say you love me. Prove it. Save me for once instead of yourself.
  Julian: I'd have to tell them... that I tried to kill you. The only reason that you took Carlos' case and gave him bad advice was because you thought your life was at risk. We both know that's not true, Alexis. You want me to lie for you.
  Alexis: I never said that.
  Julian: It's okay. I'll lie for you. But, in return... you have to give me a way out.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Aaron: Look, I think it's pretty obvious that I'm angry, and I am hurt. But still, you know, I don't want to be this total tool who doesn't support you, you know? I... look, I have gay friends, and I just -- I know how difficult it was for so many of them to come to terms with everything. And I don't want to be the jerk that makes you feel guilty about trying to figure out who you are and what you want.
  Kristina: Thank you. If it makes you feel any better, it all blew up in my face. I mean, you saw me bawling my eyes out after Parker broke up with me in a letter.
  Aaron: That doesn't make me feel better, Kristina. I might be angry at you, but I-I never want to see you hurt.
  Kristina: Like I said, you're truly a good guy. And I'm hoping that... we can find a way to get along, because running this business together is going to be hell if we don't.
  Aaron: Yeah, no kidding.
  Kristina: So, what do you think? Can you find it in your heart not to hate me?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Laura: You know, um, the time that we spent on the island is just kind of like a blur for me. I, uh -- I can't quite make sense of -- of everything that happened there. I mean, I guess my head knows that my son is gone. My heart doesn't accept that.
  Ava: Last winter, I almost lost my daughter Kiki. It's really just luck that she pulled through, but that feeling, that fear that I could lose her -- I can't imagine what it's like for that feeling to never go away.
  Laura: You know, for most of my son's life, he was a very strong and kind and decent man. He never gave in to his family. He refused to behave like a Cassadine. [Sighs] But I don't know. In this last year... [Sighs] The way he treated Jason and what he did to Hayden -- it's kind of clear to me that the dark side won out. And that is breaking my heart, that he died without ever making any peace with that.
  Ava: I'm so glad you stopped me, then. Because I think that I can offer you some comfort. Maybe in all that blur that was happening on Cassadine Island, you forgot what I told you. Nikolas died a hero. He sacrificed his life to save me. Maybe recently he made some poor choices, but Nikolas was a good man. And you should be so proud.
  Laura: Thank you, Ava. Thank you. [Sniffles] I'm gonna go get these results to Kevin.
  Ava: Yeah.
  Laura: Thanks.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kevin: Me and Laura? Not that again.
  Lucy: [Sighs] Yeah, that again.
  Kevin: Are you on "quack"? [Laughs sarcastically]
  Lucy: [Chuckles] Stop. You know, you don't fly halfway around the world to Cassadine Island to be with her if it's just friendship.
  Kevin: I am not falling in love with Laura.
  Lucy: Okay. But methinks my doc doth protest too much. Hey, for what it's worth, coming from me, it's not a whole heck of a lot, but, um... I give you my blessing.
  Kevin: You are the definition of incorrigible.
  Lucy: You're "quacked." [Laughs]
  Kevin: I was born "quacked."
  Lucy: [Laughs]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: I am not asking you to keep a secret from Jason forever. I'm just... asking you if you will allow me to have the chance to find out what's going on before I tell Jason anything. I-I have to know what my options are.
  Elizabeth: You're a patient at the hospital. I'm ethically bound not to repeat any health information about you... or your baby.
  Sam: [Sighs] Thank you.
  Elizabeth: But for what it's worth, I think you should tell Jason right away.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Julian: All I want is the same thing you asked from me -- a statement on my behalf.
  [Both chuckle]
  Alexis: [Chuckling] You've got to be kidding.
  Julian: Well, you said it yourself. I mean, the best thing the DA has on me is that taped confession -- you know... the one they got when you wore that wire? All you have to do is say you tricked me into making a statement.
  Alexis: Do you think that I would even remotely consider lifting a finger to help you go free?
  Julian: [Chuckles] I don't know, Alexis. I mean, it seems like a fair trade- off to me -- your precious career... for my freedom. So, what's it gonna be? Do we have a deal? I help you in exchange for you helping me?
  Alexis: Go to hell.
  Julian: You don't mean that.
  Alexis: Oh, I do mean it. Prison is exactly where you belong.
  Julian: And yet, you still find reasons to come see me.
  Alexis: I'm here because I thought there was one last shred of decency in you, which shows you how delusional I must be, because you took a knife to my throat. Why would I think that you would do anything to clean up the disaster that you've made of my life? Clearly, I mean nothing to you.
  Julian: No, I love you. And I know you still love me, too.
  Alexis: You don't know the meaning of the word.
  Julian: [Sighs] What, you got something to say about this?
  Guard: Shut your mouth and this will go easier for both of us. Take them -- quick.
  Julian: I don't get it.
  Guard: Your buddy Holt's waiting behind the station. Enjoy your early release.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jordan: This feels good. Again.
  André: Agreed.
  Jordan: Let's make a promise to one another to do better in the future, whatever that means.
  André: I will work on not rushing things. Hm?
  Jordan: Okay. And I will... work on letting my guard down. 'Cause I don't know if anybody told you, but, uh... this isn't some sort of fling thing for me. I'm in this for the long haul.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Kristina: Don't keep me in suspense. Is there any way we can still be friends?
  Aaron: Uh, I don't know. I certainly don't want to be your enemy. I just, um -- I wanted more. That's just wouldn't be an easy adjustment to make.
  Kristina: Yeah. I totally get that.
  Aaron: Uh, look, I'm gonna go grab those napkins and the stirrers while we're still slow, okay?
  Kristina: Sure.
  Aaron: [Sighs] All right.
  Alexis: Hi. Everything okay with you and Aaron?
  Kristina: Yeah. Fine.
  Alexis: It really didn't look that way.
  Kristina: Mom, you've got your hearing with the Bar Association today, so that's what you should be thinking about.
  Alexis: Well, I'm thinking about my daughter. I always do. Can I help? What's going on?
  Kristina: I mean, I think there's progress. Aaron's at least talking to me now, but I haven't heard anything from Parker.
  Alexis: You had a conversation with Parker?
  Kristina: Trying to. She hasn't responded to any of my texts. After our night together, I just don't understand how she walked away.
  Alexis: Honey, maybe she doesn't believe that there's a place for you in her life. Maybe she thought the kindest thing save you a world of hurt in the end.
  Kristina: What makes you say that?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: I don't want to keep secrets from Jason.
  Elizabeth: But you are.
  Sam: I will tell him about the baby as soon as I know it's gonna be okay.
  Elizabeth: Okay.
  Sam: Okay.
  Elizabeth: I hope you know what you're doing.
  Sam: I don't really.
  [Cell phone rings]
  Sam: Hello? Okay. Yes, thank you.
  Elizabeth: Was that the hospital?
  Sam: Yeah. They have my test results back.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jordan: Well, this is nice.
  André: Yeah. Too bad I need to crash and you have to get back to work. Just when we were making progress. [Chuckles] What's this?
  Jordan: This is a key to my place. Why don't you just go there and crash out while I finish up at work, and... why don't you just go ahead and keep it? You know, for, like, emergencies and stuff.
  André: Sure. Emergencies and stuff. [Chuckles]
  Jordan: Yeah. I hope this is enough of a compromise in terms of, you know, how quickly we move.
  André: More than enough.
  Jordan: So... the key, m-my key...
  André: Oh, well...
  Jordan: ...Your key for --
  André: ...Now, that's kind of a big step. Just hold on. Let me -- -
  Jordan: Wow. Really?
  André: Yeah, I just -- let me hold on to this one, and then we'll talk.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Ava: To you, Nikolas, and to what the two of us could have been together. [Sighs]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  [Footsteps approach]
  Kevin: There you are.
  Laura: Hi.
  Kevin: I started to think we had bad news on our test results.
  Laura: Oh, no, no, I just ran into somebody that I needed to talk to. Um, and I also thought maybe you and Lucy would like to have some privacy.
  Kevin: Oh, that's the last thing Lucy and I need. Trust me. So, did you get the results?
  Laura: Oh, yeah. I did. Um, here you go. Neither one of us shows any signs of malaria.
  Kevin: Oh, what a relief. That means I can get out of this hospital bed and get back to the things that really matter.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: Well, apparently Dr. Finn wants to see me in person. Come on -- you know that's not a good sign.
  Elizabeth: Why don't you call your mom and have her meet you there?
  Sam: No, I can't. She's under so much stress right now. I can't put this on her, too. I can't.
  Elizabeth: Okay, then, come on. I'll give you a ride.
  Sam: You don't have to do that.
  Elizabeth: Sam, you're pregnant... with Jake's little brother or sister. I'm not gonna let you go through this alone. Come on.
  Sam: That's awfully kind of you.

  Alexis: I know this is painful, but maybe Parker is trying to --
  Kristina: Okay, no, I need you to be honest with me, Mom. I didn't let anyone read the letter that Parker wrote me -- not you, not Molly. But what you just said about Parker believing that there wasn't a place in her life for me -- that's almost the exact phrasing that she used. Something tells me that wasn't just coincidence.

  Franco  to Elizabeth : No matter what good I ever do in this world, it'll always be outweighed by all the bad I've already done.
  Lulu  to Dante : I want to see Valentin.
  Julian  to Nina : [Grunts] Aah! Ah. You.
  Kristina  to Alexis : So to make yourself feel superior, you decide to wreck my life.
  Finn  to Dr. Obrecht : What exactly is your problem with me.
  Sam: Talk about what?
  Jason: Whatever it is you're not telling me.
summary: Julian has a dream, while in his jail cell, that Alexis has come back to him and surprises him by revealing she is in love with him and is ready to fight for him and help him break free. He awakens, however, to see it was just a dream. In reality, Alexis is very worried she will be disbarred for representing Carlos, at Julian's request, and will have her life ruined by getting involved in her estranged husband's big mess. She later goes to see Julian and reminds him that he cannot change his situation and has to face it and so, he has no incentive to drag her down with him. So, she asks if he could inform the bar association that he "put her up" to doing what she did. Yet he reminds her it was her choice to represent Carlos. She could have refused. And so, essentially she's asking him to lie for her. He tells her he could do what she asks under the condition that she helps him break free. She angrily tells him that will never happen and storms out. A guard overhears the conversation and gives Julian keys to do just that. Ava returns home and mourns the loss of Nikolas. Realizing she's all alone, she considers the fact that her brother is in need of her help. Laura is with Kevin in his hospital room while he recovers and clearly hopes she can have a future with him, remembering on the flight coming back from Greece, he indicated that she is very special in his life and his marriage to Lucy is over. Yet, when she asks him about what he "said to her" on the flight back, although not revealing the specifics, he replies he "does not remember" that conversation, from being drugged with pain pills. Lucy demands the hospital staff let her visit her ex although they refuse and threaten to call security. Kevin is happy to see his ex and declares although he's been angry with her, they will always be friends and special to one another. Laura goes outside the room to let them talk alone and when she returns, she overhears Lucy suggesting Kevin may be "in love" with Laura and his assuring Lucy that is not the case. She is clearly disappointed and assuming Kevin is not over Lucy.
