document: Jack: I'm sorry Mickey and Maggie had to take the baby home, but it's late, and the little guy needs his beauty sleep.
  Jennifer: Ha ha ha.
  Jack: You know, Jennifer, I was just wondering... do you think he really recognized me as his father?
  Jennifer: Yes, Jack, I do. I mean, think about it -- he didn't even cry when uncle Mickey put him in your arms.
  Jack: That's right. That's right, he didn't. You know, and the moment that he saw me, when he first saw me, I sensed in him a moment of clarity.
  Abby: Oh, dad.
  Jack: No, I mean it. I-I'm serious. It's like he looked at me, and I looked at him, and he looked back at me, and I looked at him, and... he saw me, and he saw my face, and he -- he said, "look at that face. That face, it's like -- it looks like me."
  Jennifer: Ha ha ha ha. Isn't this amazing, to have laughter back in our family?
  Jack: Well, I-I mean it. I'm serious.
  Abby: I'm never going to let you stop hugging me tonight, daddy.
  Jack: Well, yeah, that's tonight, but what about later, after your -- your friends show up? And then you're going to say, "oh, daddy, please, I'm a little embarrassed. I mean, it's like it's nice having you back from the dead and all, but could you just, uh, you know, run away and then give me some money? Not in that order, of course."
  Abby: All the kids feel that way about their parents, daddy, but I promise, I'll never take you for granted like that again.
  Jack: Mm-hmm, right. Well, at least your little friends like having me around. I mean, they always thought I was rather cute... and kind of cool, right?
  Jennifer: Oh, well, Jack, I mean, I think -- I think you thought that Abby's friends thought you were cool.
  Abby: Yeah, they thought you were crazy.
  Jennifer: Ha ha ha ha.
  Jack: No, no.
  Jennifer: Yes, welcome back to reality, dad. Listen, I need to get your dad home. He's exhausted.
  Jack: No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going home by myself to sleep all alone. If you're going to be here with Abigail, I'm going to be here with Abigail.
  Abby: Yes.
  Jack: As a matter of fact, we'll just be together as a family, and when you're released, we'll all leave together, and we're never, ever going to be separated again.
  Abby: Promise, daddy?
  Jack: I promise. I promise, and I'm praying right now that from now on, anybody we care about and even the people we don't care about -- that none of us ever have to go through the pain and the suffering and the worry of being separated from the people that we love. I mean it.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Belle: I'm so sorry, Mimi. I can't believe Shawn dragged Rex into this, too.
  Mimi: That stupid security guard -- why didn't he let your dad chase after him in his own plane?
  Belle: Well, I'm glad they actually stopped him. They had too much of a head start. The four musketeers -- what were they thinking?
  Mimi: I can understand why Shawn did it. I just thought that Rex, Brady, and Lucas would have tried to stop him instead of helping him do something so stupid.
  Belle: I know. We just have to pray that they find Philip and come home safely. Of course, if it were up to Kate, Shawn wouldn't come home at all. I just can't believe that my dad would have anything to do with that selfish witch, let alone ask her to permanently move in with him.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Man: Excuse me. Excuse me, everyone. I have a very important announcement to make. It seems we have two couples celebrating very special occasions tonight. One have been married for 50 years. Wait, wait. And -- and -- the other just got engaged. Aw, come on. Stand up, folks. Take a bow, take a bow.
  Man #2: Congratulations.
  Kate: Well, that was very embarrassing.
  John: I don't really care. I don't care if the whole world knows how happy you've made me. So here's to you and me, kid. To a new beginning for us.
  Kate: To us.
  John: To us.
  Marlena: What are you looking at? You see somebody you know?
  Roman: Well, it's -- that couple -- couple over there. They just -- I don't know, they seem real familiar to me.
  Marlena: You think you know them?
  Roman: I'm not sure.
  Marlena: There's one way to find out. We could go and... congratulate them.
  Roman: That is a great idea.
  Kate: I think I'm going to go freshen up.
  John: I think you look perfect the way you are.
  Kate: You don't have to stand up.
  John: Oh, yes, I do.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Roman: Judge Adams.
  Adams: Captain Brady. Natalie, look.
  Natalie: Oh, I think I'm going to faint.
  Roman: Yeah, I thought that was you and Mrs. Adams.
  Adams: You were supposed to be dead, and Dr. Evans, too.
  Marlena: We're -- we're so sorry to startle you. We didn't mean to --
  Adams: What happened?
  Roman: Well, Judge, it's -- it's a long, long story.
  Marlena: We were -- we -- we -- we were held captive by Tony DiMera.
  Natalie: Tony DiMera? Well, I thought he was mauled to death by a tiger.
  Roman: Um... you know what? You know what? I cannot believe that you are celebrating your 50th anniversary. So, Judge, uh, you and I got a lot to talk about, but right now, we just want to say congratulations.
  Adams: Thank you, Roman. I must say, this is the nicest surprise we've -- we never expected, uh, seeing the both of you.
  Natalie: Oh, yes. Oh -- welcome to the world.
  Adams: Yeah.
  Roman: Yeah, all right. Well, thank you, and we will catch up.
  Adams: Yeah.
  Marlena: Your Honor, Mrs. Adams.
  Adams: Yes, thank you.
  Marlena: Congratulations.
  Natalie: My word. I didn't know they were still married.
  Roman: I need a shot of tequila, I think.
  Man: Yes, sir.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: Oh, Patrick, thank you for getting me out of here for a little while. I-I feel better. I do.
  Patrick: Right, right. You could have fooled me.
  Hope: Look, nothing is going to make me feel okay about what happened tonight -- not that how I feel is what matters right now, anyway.
  Patrick: Well, it's got to make you feel better that Abby's going to be okay and that Chelsea's awake.
  Hope: She's still in I.C.U. She's lost both of her parents. It's my fault.
  Patrick: Hope, I'm telling you, it's not.
  Hope: Oh, Billie's convinced it is, and she's probably convinced Bo as well. Why did I hang up on her when she called?
  Patrick: Because you just thought it was another one of her ploys to get Bo to come running to the rescue.
  Hope: What if Jennifer never forgives me?
  Patrick: She was angry, all right? She said some things in the heat of the moment, which I guarantee she didn't mean. Now, Hope, you were not the drunk driver that caused this accident. Of course she's going to forgive you.
  Hope: Well, I'll never forgive myself. We'll never know how much of a difference it would have made if I had told Bo that Billie called. I mean, if the E.M.T.'s had gotten there just -- maybe just even a few minutes earlier --
  Patrick: Okay, okay, look, as long as we're blaming ourselves, I should have been the one to pick up the phone and called you and told you about the accident. You wouldn't have hung up on me.
  Hope: No, but Bo would if he had picked up the phone.
  Patrick: You know, all these what ifs -- they're going to make you crazy, Hope. You can't do that.
  Hope: I need to find a way to make things right with Bo.
  Patrick: Okay, well, you just have to find him. He wasn't in the trauma center, and he and Billie aren't up here, so...
  Hope: You know what? They're probably in Chelsea's room. There's no way Billie ever would have left until she knew for sure that Chelsea was all right. Let's check it out.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Bo: Damn it, Billie. Got to take it slow.
  Billie: I'll be careful.
  Bo: Yeah, right. Careful.
  Billie: Okay, we got to go in there and make sure the coast is clear. We don't want any surprises.
  Bo: Yeah, right. No surprises.
  Billie: My cell phone's turned off. Yours?
  Bo: Yeah. We need a plan.
  Billie: The plan is to go in there and see if our daughter is in there.
  Bo: Okay, fine. What do you say we go knock on the door and say, "hey, we're Georgia's long-lost parents. We want you to hand her over even though we know she's not in there. And while we're at it, why don't you try to take a few potshots at us? We need to lose our lives tonight."
  Billie: Stop it.
  Bo: Well, we shouldn't be here in the first place, Billie. What do we have -- some tidy little package that was sent to us at the hospital. Georgia's sweater with her name written in it, and the friggin' address.
  Billie: And Georgia's blood. We know that's not a trick, Bo. Now, what choice do we have but to check out this lead? God only knows what they've done to her.
  Bo: Yeah, and God only knows what they're going to do to us. What good are we going to be to our daughter then?
  Billie: Will you stop saying that? God, you say that every time we get a lead. You act like we're never going to find her.
  Bo: I'm trying to get you to open your eyes.
  Billie: My eyes are open. What's happened to you, Bo? Has Hope finally gotten to you? Has she convinced you that this is just another DiMera trick? You think you'd be better off if Georgia really was dead.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Mimi: You used to love Kate.
  Belle: Yeah, well, she used to love me. Now she thinks I'm an evil bitch, and I pretty much feel the same way about her. I can't even look at her anymore. I go into the office when she's not there. And I've barely been to visit my dad because she makes me so uncomfortable. I-I-I never used to believe the things that Sami would say about her, but maybe they were true. You know, my mom has been dead, what, a few months, and my dad is moving on with her?
  Mimi: Belle, your dad is a very smart guy. And the last thing he wants to do is hurt you. And after your mom, he's not gonna be able to stay with someone that heartless. I just -- I just can't believe she would want Shawn to die.
  Belle: She wants me to be with Philip. She was furious with me when she found out that Shawn and I wanted to be together. She doesn't care about Shawn or Brady, she only cares about her own flesh and blood -- Philip, Rex, and Lucas.
  Mimi: You know, Kate never thought I was good enough for Rex. It's only lately that she's started to be nice to me, and I thought I could deal with having her as a mother-in-law, you know, especially since I know how much it means to Rex for me to be close with his family. But... I guess it doesn't matter now, anyway. Kate is the last thing I need to be worried about. I am terrified that Rex won't come home. And even if he does, how can we have a future together now, anyway?
  Belle: Oh, Mimi, come on. You're not still thinking you're gonna go to jail, are you? What happened to Jan was an accident. She fell and hit her head.
  Mimi: Yeah, but there is no way to prove that, Belle. I don't want Jan to die, but if she wakes up, she's gonna lie and say I tried to kill her. It serves me right for all the lies I've told.
  Belle: Stop it.
  Mimi: I should have just told Rex the truth about everything when I had the chance.
  Belle: When he comes home, you'll have another chance.
  Mimi: God, Belle, if he does, I will tell him. No matter what, I will really do it this time.
  Belle: Good. Good for you.
  Mimi: I know you think that Rex will forgive me... oh, God, I can't believe I never thought of this before. What is Kate going to do when she finds out?
  Belle: Well, I think you better be prepared. I think she's gonna do everything she can to turn Rex against you -- which is ridiculous. I mean, she started out with nothing and worked her way to the top. She should know that it's nothing to be ashamed of. She should be proud that Rex found someone like you. Plus, she's been divorced how many times? She had that affair with Jennifer's dad. I mean, who is she to judge anyone? I just -- I can't believe how vicious she can be when it comes to her kids. Shawn thinks that she wants Billie to be with his dad. She would -- yeah -- love to break up Bo and Hope's marriage. But meanwhile, she's going off on me about the sanctity of marriage. I just -- I don't understand how my dad can't see her for the hypocrite she really is.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Roman: You know what, Doc? I got a confession to make.
  Marlena: Oh?
  Roman: Yeah. Last time we were here a long time ago, I wanted to kiss you.
  Marlena: Last time we were here, I wanted you to kiss me and you didn't.
  Roman: Well, I think for old times' sake, we should make up for that mistake.
  Marlena: Roman. We can't do that.
  Kate: Well, I guess it's time to go. You feeling better?
  John: I am feeling much better about everything. Check?
  Roman: Doc, listen to me, I am sorry. I think I just got lost in the memory.
  Marlena: Well, that's easy. I understand that. Roman, we can't let that happen again. Our life, our future is right here -- mine with John, and yours with Kate.
  Roman: You're right.
  Kevin: Excuse me, Captain Brady?
  Roman: Yeah.
  Kevin: Airport security just called. They said that the call that you're expecting should be coming through in about 10 minutes.
  Roman: Thanks a lot. Good to see you, buddy.
  Kevin: Take care.
  Roman: Okay. Doc, I mean that. It just wasn't right. I am sorry. I should not have kissed you.
  Marlena: It's okay. It's okay. That just can't happen again.
  Roman: I agree.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jack: I have so many things that I wanna tell you. I feel like Rip Van Winkle. I was locked up in that castle for so long and missed so much.
  Abby: Well, a lot of unbelievable things happened with us while you were gone, too.
  Jack: Like what?
  Abby: The Red Sox won the world series.
  Jack: No! Get out, no!
  Abby: I'm serious.
  Jack: The Cubs --
  Abby: And guess what else.
  Jack: What?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: Well, Chelsea's sound asleep, and Bo and Billie don't seem to be anywhere in the hospital. I'm getting a very bad feeling here.
  Patrick: Well, maybe they went out, you know, and grabbed a cup of coffee like we did. They'll turn up. Hope, I just wish you would stop worrying about you and Bo.
  Hope: So do I.
  Patrick: You know, the whole time I was growing up all I remember hearing is that Salem was famous for having all these great couples.
  Hope: It's not like we have a sign at the county line saying, "welcome to Salem, gateway to famous couples."
  Patrick: Yeah, I know this. I know. But I am telling you, Hope, Salem has a reputation. And you and Bo are a big part of that.
  Hope: Some of us do have our names carved on a rooftop wall. And I guess some of us -- I guess there have been some great couples. I know my grandparents were one. Tom and Alice Horton, John and Marlena, Steve and Kayla, Roman and Marlena, Jack and Jen, my dad and Julie.
  Patrick: Well, what made those couples so great?
  Hope: They stayed together, overcame everything the world threw at them, literally, till death. And even then I know that -- I know that my grandparents are always gonna be together -- for eternity.
  Patrick: Well, what about Roman and Marlena? I mean, they didn't wind up together forever.
  Hope: They were parted by death, in a way. You see, Marlena was led to believe that Roman was killed, and later, when Marlena fell in love with John, they both believed that he was really Roman.
  Patrick: How was that possible?
  Hope: The DiMeras.
  Patrick: Ah, mm, yeah. Say no more. So, Marlena married Roman and John and had kids with both of them? I mean, their lives must be really mixed up. It's amazing they were able to stay friends through all of that.
  Hope: You know what's even harder to believe? That Bo and Billie could stay friends even after everything she's done to us over the years. And even harder for me to believe that he ever fell in love with her in the first place.
  Patrick: All right. So much for trying to take your mind off of Bo and Billie. You know, Chelsea's stable. Maybe they went home. Why don't you just give them a call and find out?
  Hope: Good idea.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Bo: I want Georgia to be alive, but Hope is not wrong. Every time we get one of these clues, we go running off and almost get ourselves killed. And it's not like we're coming up with these clues on our own. They're being sent to us to lure us to places like this. You're an I.S.A. agent, and you're letting your emotions run you. You're throwing your training, logic, and caution right out the window. You need to care enough about Georgia to care about your own life, Billie.
  Billie: Don't talk to me about caring for our daughter. She could be lying in there bleeding to death right now.
  Bo: Am I talking to myself here?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Mimi: Belle, I know you're upset, but I don't think Kate's the one you're really angry with.
  Belle: Are you defending her now, too?
  Mimi: No, you just have to kind of understand where she's coming from. She's just terrified for all of her sons -- just like you're terrified for Shawn, and John is for Brady, and I am for Rex. It doesn't mean we're not worried about everybody else.
  Belle: Kate isn't a bit worried about Shawn. She would trade Shawn's life for Philip's in a heartbeat. I guess you're right. I wouldn't care so much what Kate thought if my dad wasn't trying to make her a permanent part of my life. I mean, I know my dad is not trying to replace my mom -- no one ever could. Just I miss her so much. I mean, dad and Brady and Sami and I -- we are all such a mess right now, and I know if she were here, it would all be different. But she's gone, and I'm never gonna see her again.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Roman: Okay. I'll thank Shane for the jet. I'm sure he'll need some answers about Tony and the castle, but I'll tell him that he can get a full debriefing later.
  Marlena: Good. We've wasted enough time here already. I am just so -- I just need to see John now. And my family, and I know you -- I know you wanna see Kate.
  Roman: Yeah. Okay, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna hurry, and I will be right back.
  Marlena: Do. Do. Oh, John. I can't wait to see you.
  John: Ah, there you are. I'll worship the day I don't have to carry you around anymore.
  Marlena: [Sobbing]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Bo: Hold it. Hold it. Whoever sent that sweater knows we're probably on our way. The place is completely dark, so they could be lying in wait for us. We're not gonna make the same mistake we made in Europe.
  Billie: So how do you want to do this?
  Bo: Well, we'll try to surprise 'em. On 3. 1, 2. Police! Clear.
  Both: Clear.
  Bo: Damn it. It's empty. It's obvious no one's been here for quite some time.
  Billie: Let's check up the stairs.
  Bo: We're not gonna find anything, Billie.
  Billie: You're right. You're right. Georgia's probably never even been here. She's probably nowhere near Salem. You know what, though? I'm not giving up. I am not giving up. We're gonna search this place from top to bottom because somebody sent us here on purpose. This may be where we find our next clue to lead us to Georgia.
  Bo: Okay. We'll search, but no matter what happens, we keep our cool. We'll search room to room, careful and slow.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: He's not home. Got the machine. Like I said, I'm not getting a good feeling here, Patrick.
  Hope: Great. His cell went to voice mail.
  Patrick: Why don't you ask Jennifer? She probably knows where they are.
  Hope: Yeah, I will. I just left my cell phone in Abby's room earlier. And I just need to get it. Looks like there's a doctor in there with Abby. I don't wanna disturb them.
  Patrick: You know what? I bet, uh, I bet Bo left you a message on the cell.
  Hope: How much you wanna bet he didn't? He's disappeared again, Patrick. And you know what that means. Something's going on with he and Billie, and he doesn't want me to know about it.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jack: Stop. This is too much to take. No hockey season? Well, I can't handle any more. We -- we -- let's just stick with the safe subjects, like -- like Abigail's birthday, all right? I mean, it's not every day that you turn 17 and your father comes back from the dead.
  Abby: I was just gonna say that. You took the words right out of my mouth.
  Jack: Well, brilliant minds think alike. Happy Birthday, sweetheart. Here you go. Okay, I'll just light 'em up.
  Abby: You don't have to light the candles, because I don't need to make a wish. You know, I had a dream just like this -- you came back to me. And when you did, all my wishes came true.
  Jack: Yeah, well, what would you say if I told you I had exactly the same dream? Brilliant minds.
  Jennifer: This is incredible, just sitting here and watching the two of you laughing and talking. This is so wonderful.
  Jack: Well, I'll tell you what, I've just about got all these candles lit, and we're gonna have to blow 'em out before the sprinklers go off. So, what do you say we jump right in and do it?
  Abby: Okay.
  Jack: Okay. You all ready? Okay, sit up. Here we go. Thank you. 1, 2, 3. That's a lot of hot air.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Belle: Would you drink more tea if I made it?
  Mimi: Sure. Thanks. That message Rex left for me on his computer makes me wanna cry just thinking about it.
  Belle: I know. It's like that video Shawn left for me. They both just wanted a special way to say goodbye, since they didn't give us a chance to do it in person. God, Mimi, if I'd have known Shawn was gonna put his life in danger, and maybe never come home --
  Mimi: We can't think that way. They're gonna find Philip, rescue him, and they're all gonna come home safely.
  Belle: What?
  Mimi: I just thought of something. Do you think Shawn will wait for Philip to get home to tell him that the two of you are still in love, or do you think he's gonna tell him when he finds him? And if he does, what will Philip do?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Marlena: [Sobbing]
  John: Tell me this is real. Tell me... tell me that you're here, that you've come back to me.
  Marlena: Hold me, just hold me. Hold me, hold me, hold me.
  Kate: What's taking John so long?
  Kate: No, that's not possible. That can't be Marlena. It is. It's her.
  Roman: Kate.
  Roman: Hello, beautiful.
  Kate: Roman?
  Roman: Hey, hey. Are you all right?
  Kate: This isn't happening. I thought I saw Marlena, but she's dead. And you're dead. Were you -- this is impossible.
  Roman: No. It's not impossible. I am right here.
  Kate: Oh, no, but --
  Roman: Hey. Shh. You just come here and kiss me.
  John: You're really back.
  Marlena: I'm back. I'm back, my love, to stay.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jack: 1, 2 -- I'm really good at this, you know.
  Jennifer: That's a lot of candles.
  Jack: You're telling me.
  Jennifer: Ha ha ha ha.
  Jack: I-I feel bad about something. I have to admit it. I feel bad about eating this cake without Jack Jr. being here, but fact is, he's a baby, he hardly has any teeth, and this is what we're going to do -- we're not going to tell him that we're celebrating his sister's birthday without him.
  Jennifer: That's right. We'll just wait till he's older and mature enough to deal with it.
  Jack: Exact-- right. Right. And we don't want to twist him yet. We can ruin him later, save time -- this is Alice's cake. I haven't had a piece of Alice's cake since I don't know when. I haven't had a piece of anyone's cake since I don't know when. I mean, this is -- it's been a long time.
  Jennifer: It has been a long time. I'm going to go to the cafeteria, I'm going to get some, um, some plates, some forks, and a knife. I'll be right back.
  Jack: All right. We'll be right here.
  Jack: We don't need no stinkin' forks. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm -- well, what are you waiting for? Dig in. Come on.
  Abby: All right, it is my cake.
  Jack: Oh, yeah, baby. Mmm, mmm.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jennifer: Hey.
  Hope: Jennifer, are you all right?
  Jennifer: Yeah.
  Hope: Is Abby okay?
  Jennifer: Yeah, we're great. Abby is happier than ever.
  Hope: I was worried when I saw the doctor in there with you.
  Jennifer: That's not a doctor in there. It's Jack.
  Hope: Jack. Jack... your Jack? How?
  Jennifer: I don't know. I don't know how, but I am telling you, that is my husband Jack in there, and as we speak, he and Abby are licking the frosting off of her birthday cake, Hope.
  Hope: Oh, my God, Jack -- Jennifer, you've said "Jack" twice, and I still can't believe that I heard it right. How? It's a miracle.
  Jennifer: I know. It is a miracle, and I don't know how, but I will tell you, he is alive, and it is real, and he's here.
  Hope: Oh, Jennifer, I'm so happy for you. Oh, honey, I'm so happy for you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Billie: Totally deserted. It doesn't make sense. Someone went to an awful lot of trouble to make sure we got here. What do you think it all means?
  Bo: I think it means that Georgia is alive. Why would they go through all of this? One thing I know for sure -- our daughter is alive.
  Billie: Yeah, but she's got to be wounded or... abused for all that blood to get on that sweater.
  Bo: I know, I know, I know. But we're not going to help her out by making ourselves sitting ducks. Let's get the hell out of here.
  Billie: Okay. I'll call the hospital and check on Chelsea on the way.
  [Creaking]
  Billie: Did you hear that?
  Bo: Yeah.
  Billie: It came from over there.
  Bo: All right, careful.
  Child's voice: Mom.
  Billie: It's Georgia.
  Bo: Billie. Billie, no.
  Child's voice: Mama.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Belle: I don't know whether Shawn will tell Philip or not, and it really just doesn't matter, at least not right now. The only thing that matters is that they find Philip, rescue him, and come home to all of us.
  Mimi: I just hope nobody has to go looking for all of them.
  Belle: Don't even say it, Mimi. We can't lose them, okay? I have already lost my mom this year. I couldn't bear it if I had to lose Shawn and Philip and Brady, too.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jack: Mmm.
  Abby: Uh-oh, frosting's pretty much gone by now, dad.
  Jack: There's the cake, and we're toast. You know, the last time I did this, your mother gave me holy h-- heck.
  Abby: Daddy, you can say "the 'h' word."
  Jack: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
  Abby: I'm in high school. I've heard things a lot more worse.
  Jack: As if that was an excuse. Obviously, I've been away for a while.
  Abby: I think mom would be happy to forgive you even if you ate the whole cake.
  Jack: Which only goes to prove you come back from the dead, you can have your cake, and I can eat it, too.
  Abby: I still can't believe I have you back with me for good.
  Jack: Oh, you're never going to get rid of me now. In fact, I'm going with you to college. I'm going to be your roommate.
  Abby: You are not.
  Jack: I'm going to walk you to class, I'm going to join your sorority -- as a mascot.
  Abby: You are not serious.
  Jack: I am serious. It's in bylaws. You -- all right, Lamby can be the mascot. He obviously has been taking care of you all this time anyway while I've been gone.
  Abby: What happened? I mean, where were you? I have, like, a million questions.
  Jack: And I have, like, a million answers, none of which are believable, so we'll just table that for now. Right now, what I want to do is this. Ah. Tell me if that's hurting you.
  Abby: It's not. I knew you were alive. Everyone said I was in denial because I didn't see your body and there was no funeral. I was such a brat, dad. I blamed it all out on her. Took it all out on her. And sometimes, when I couldn't sleep at night, I'd hear her crying in her room. I know she missed you so much. I don't think she was ever serious about maybe moving on with Patrick or anything.
  Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a -- what do you mean? You're telling me your mother was getting serious about Patrick Lockhart?
  Abby: No. No, not serious, but... you know... she -- she started to like having him around.
  Jack: No, no, no, I mean -- I mean how, exactly, do you mean liked having him around?
  Abby: Well, he's been there for her, and I guess she just started to depend on him.
  Jack: What, you mean, like, uh, fixing things around the house.
  Abby: Yeah, like that. But... I got the feeling she did like having him around.
  Jack: Oh, really? Tell me more. Exactly how else has Patrick been there for your mother?

  Jennifer: Ha ha.
  Patrick: So, uh, where was Jack all this time? What happened to him?
  Jennifer: Oh, Patrick, I don't know. I don't even know any of the details, but it doesn't matter. I mean, right now, we have the rest of our lives together. He's here, he's alive, and that is all I care about.
  Patrick: You're right, you're right. And I am very happy for you, too.
  Jennifer: Thank you. Hope, I -- I am so sorry about earlier.
  Hope: I am so sorry for what I did. There is no excuse. I am so sorry.
  Jennifer: No, it's not your fault, really. Look, there's no point in holding grudges and placing blame. I would never want anything like this to come between us. And I know that Bo does not want this to come between you, either.
  Hope: I wish I knew where he was.
  Jennifer: Oh, I forgot. He tried to get a hold of you, but you left your cell phone in Abby's room.
  Hope: Yeah. Did he say where he was going?
  Jennifer: No. I mean, he -- he went with Billie.
  Hope: Okay, the way you just said that, they didn't just go for burgers.
  Jennifer: No, they didn't.
  Hope: What was it this time?
  Jack: Get your hand off my wife!
  Jennifer: Oh, wait, Jack!
  Hope: Patrick!
  Jack: Come on!
  Jennifer: Jack!
  Jack: I'm home now! Deal with me! Deal with me!

  Child's voice: Mama.
  Bo: What the hell?
  Billie: It's a sign, Bo. It's a sign that Georgia's in trouble. I'll bet there's another clue.
  Bo: Yes, there is.
  Billie: What do you think it is?
  Bo: That doll did not make the floor creak. Somebody else is in this house. Billie.
  Billie: Aah!
  Bo: Billie! Billie! Answer me! Billie, are you okay?! Damn it!

  Roman: It is real, all right.
  Kate: This is as close to... an out-of-body experience as I've ever had.
  Roman: And it looks to me like we can all pick up just where we hoped we would.
  John: I need some help here. I think -- the coast guard gave me your clothes, the blood, D.N.A. matched. Help me.
  Kate: We were so sure that both of you were dead.
  John: I-I -- you strapped me to that raft, and then I watched you disappear. I-I don't understand.
  Marlena: We have so much to explain, an awful lot to explain.
  Roman: Yeah, yeah. We sure do, and, uh... and I am very sure that you and Kate have an awful lot to tell us, too.
