document: Elizabeth: Get off of me!
  Hayden: Oh! Bitch.
  Elizabeth: [Groaning]
  Naomi: What in the world is going on, Rachel?
  [Cell phone rings]
  Hayden: Mother?
  Elizabeth: Mother?
  Naomi: Oh, Rachel. If only your father could see you now.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Franco: Hey, Elizabeth. I'm just checking in. I haven't talked to you since the Nurses' Ball. I, uh... this is Franco, by the way. I don't want to assume that, um... I mean, yeah, I'm -- I'm me. Uh... yeah, just, uh -- just want to make sure you're okay. You know, your ankle's feeling better and... Nikolas has turned up not dead and Jason isn't bugging you. That's my point -- you know, if you feel like you got a lot of problems right now, feel free to hand one off on me.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jason: I don't think there was a body.
  Sam: We saw it.
  Jason: No, we saw what Nikolas wanted us to see. It was a setup. He's not dead. Nikolas has been playing us all.
  Sam: Okay. All right, well, that would explain why the Coast Guard has been searching all night and haven't found Nikolas' body.
  Jason: If I'm right, everything that happened that night at Wyndemere, it was staged, and Nikolas set it up so he could disappear.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jordan: So the judge signed off on the warrant? Good, yeah. Send a squad car to his residence, and if he is not there, you check Sam Morgan's apartment. If you come up empty on both places, I want you to call the DA's office, have them call Diane Miller. Tell her to advise her client to just turn himself in. Meanwhile, I'm at General Hospital. Um, I've got another case to look into. Yep.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Dr. Mayes: Let's start at the beginning. Do you know what happened to you?
  Lucas: Yeah. I do.
  Brad: Babe, tell us what happened.
  Lucas: Somebody tried to kill me.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Maxie: Okay. [Chuckles] Sit. Sit, sit, sit, sit.
  Nathan: Maxie, I'm -- look, I'm fine. I'm o--
  Maxie: Nope, no. Uh, you know what? We need more pillows.
  Nathan: Maxie, stop it. I'm okay.
  Maxie: You just had brain surgery. You need to lay down.
  Nathan: I will. I -- I promise I will not get off the couch if you will sit with me, all right? We need to talk.
  Maxie: Okay. Uh, rest now, talk later.
  Nathan: Max -- no, Max, at the hospital, you said we could talk as soon as we got home.
  Maxie: Okay, and by "soon"... I meant after you eat. Okay? You -- you have to be starving after all that hospital food you didn't have. Does your mom really make you eat nutri-gruel?
  Nathan: Maxie -- Maxie, please. Stop talking, please. Look, you can't -- I can't put this off any longer. It's time I made a full confession.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: Nikolas makes it look like he dies, flying through the window, crashing on the rocks below. The current is strong enough to pull him into the harbor. First question.
  Jason: Why?
  Sam: Um...because he lost ELQ? Financial trouble?
  Jason: No. Faking his own death wouldn't necessarily return him to the lifestyle which he's accustomed. As a matter of fact, it would make it more difficult to access the funds that he does have.
  Sam: What else would he be trying to escape?
  Jason: Not what. Who.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Elizabeth: This is your mother?
  Hayden: We're...estranged.
  Naomi: Well, not by my choice. Uh, do you have children, Miss...?
  Hayden: Her name is Elizabeth.
  Naomi: Oh. Naomi. Elizabeth -- such a pretty name. It's very gentile. Doesn't really fit the type of woman who would be rolling around the floor with my daughter.
  Elizabeth: She tends to bring out the worst in people.
  Naomi: Yeah. It's been said.
  Hayden: One minute in, and you've already found something in common. Feel free to stay and chat. I'm out of here.
  Elizabeth: No, don't bother. I'm leaving. My advice -- scrap your travel plans. You wouldn't want to add "evading arrest" to your list of charges.
  Naomi: She's an assertive little thing.
  [Door slams]
  Hayden: She's a meddling snake.
  Naomi: And none too fond of you, either. Any particular reason?
  Hayden: What are you even doing here?
  Naomi: What do you think? I came to see my daughter. How about a hug? Hmm?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Maxie: Nathan, I -- I think that you're confused. You don't want to talk to me. You want to talk to Griffin.
  Nathan: I what?
  Maxie: Yeah, you said you want to confess, and he's a priest, so...
  Nathan: Maxie, no, look. Dodging around and changing the subject is not gonna make this go away, okay? You need to hear me out, for both our sakes.
  Maxie: How serious is this confession? Did you cheat on me? Did you get someone pregnant?
  Nathan: God, no. No.
  Maxie: Well, you don't want to do either of those things, right?
  Nathan: No, Maxie, no. I love you. There is no one else. I wouldn't ask you to marry me, otherwise.
  Maxie: Thank God. So this is not about Claudette. Okay, well, how serious can it really be? It's not like you killed someone.
  Nathan: Okay, look, you need to let me tell you this in my own way, okay?
  Maxie: Oh, my God. You killed someone?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  [Monitors beeping]
  Jordan: Dr. Jones, I, uh... I'm really happy to see you recovering.
  Lucas: Heh. Yeah, me too.
  Jordan: How's he doing?
  Monica: Oh, Dr. Mayes is the physician of record.
  Dr. Mayes: His vitals are good. Um, of course, we'll continue monitoring him, but I don't foresee any complications.
  Dr. Obrecht: Dr. Jones was about to tell us what he remembers of the circumstances that landed him here.
  Jordan: Are you -- are you up to talking?
  Brad: M-maybe we shouldn't do this right now.
  Lucas: Oh, no, no, no. I'm okay. I need to get this out.
  Jordan: Okay. Just -- just tell us what you remember.
  Lucas: M-my mom fainted backstage, so... um, at the ball, so I brought her here. And Dr. Finn treated her.
  Finn: Ms. Spencer was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, and I admitted her for the evening.
  Lucas: Mm. Uh, I was gonna stay with her, but... she insisted I go back to the ball so I wouldn't miss my wedding. Oh, God, baby...
  Brad: Shh, shh, shh, shh. Don't even worry about it.
  Lucas: I'm sorry. Um, I forgot my car -- my car keys, and... so I came back in to get them, and... somebody... was standing over my mother with a syringe. So I asked them what the hell they were doing. And that's when they jumped me and shot me up. I guess the next thing I remember, I -- I -- I'm waking up with Brad calling my name.
  Jordan: Can you maybe describe your assailant?
  Lucas: I -- I thought it was a doctor.
  Jordan: Which -- which doctor? Which doctor attacked you, Lucas?
  Lucas: It's -- it's fuzzy. I don't know.
  Jordan: Just try to -- try to picture it in your mind. I mean, can you describe what they were wearing?
  Lucas: I'm not sure how much I really saw. It was dark. The lights were off.
  Jordan: Well, you had mentioned that your assailant was a doctor. Why would you say that?
  Lucas: Well... 'cause -- 'cause they were wearing white. Um...a white lab coat.
  Jordan: Uh-huh. Great. That's really, really good, Lucas. Um...what about their hair? Was it long? Was it short?
  Lucas: I don't know. I... it was covered up. They were wearing a cap and mask. [Sighs] I mean, it could've been anybody. I don't know.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Franco: Hi.
  Elizabeth: Hi.
  Franco: I called you.
  Elizabeth: Oh?
  Franco: Yeah. I left you a message.
  Elizabeth: I didn't get it.
  Franco: Is this a Jason thing?
  Elizabeth: Is what a Jason thing?
  Franco: Did Jason tell you to not talk to me the way he told me to not talk to Jake?
  Elizabeth: Jason doesn't tell me who to talk to. He makes his opinions known, and then I decide for myself.
  Franco: Oh. So this is a choice, then? You're making a choice right now to treat me like this?
  Elizabeth: This isn't about you. Nikolas is missing, presumed dead. The police think Jason did it, Jake wants to know where his dad is, and... Hayden's an unrelenting bitch.
  Franco: Yeah. And she wore the same dress as you to the ball.
  Elizabeth: [Sighs] That's not funny.
  Franco: Kind of funny.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hayden: How did you find me?
  Naomi: A mother knows. [Laughs]
  Hayden: Where was this supernatural parental instinct when I was in a coma for months? I'm fine, by the way.
  Naomi: I knew you were in trouble, Rachel.
  Hayden: It's Hayden now.
  Naomi: Hayden? What kind of a name is "Hayden"?
  Hayden: The one I chose when I realized the only way I could have a life was to leave Rachel Berlin and everyone who ever knew her behind.
  Naomi: Including your own mother?
  Hayden: One can only hope.
  Naomi: I didn't come here to fight, honey.
  Hayden: Then it's probably a good idea you leave.
  Naomi: I came because I heard about your husband's unfortunate accident. It's a terrible, terrible loss. He certainly had excellent taste.
  Hayden: He's missing. Probably dead.
  Naomi: Oh. Honey, you must really be going through it. But I'm here now, and everything is gonna be okay.
  Hayden: Okay? Nothing will ever be okay, not after what you did.
  Naomi: Really? How long are you going to hold this over my head?
  Hayden: 200 years, 4 months, 6 days. That's how long. The day that Daddy gets out of prison, where you put him.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jason: Staging his death wouldn't solve Nikolas' financial problems, but it would solve his legal ones. Maybe he was afraid Hayden was gonna blow the whistle on him having her shot, and he couldn't stall her any longer, so he decided to run.
  Sam: And staged his own murder to cover his tracks. That's good motivation, but... how'd he do it?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Maxie: Nathan... who did you kill?
  Nathan: No one. I --
  Maxie: Then... why did you just say that --
  Nathan: No one that I know of. I shot -- I shot at someone, all right? It was years ago. It was before I knew you. It was complicated.
  Maxie: Okay, um... how complicated? Was this while you were a cop in New York?
  Nathan: Ye-- yes, but I wasn't on duty.
  Maxie: This is not making any sense to me right now.
  Nathan: Maxie, I know h-- I know how this must sound to you, and I'm sure you've got a thousand questions, and I promise I will answer all of them. I swear. I have practiced telling you this a thousand times, and somehow, I just can't get the words... but I can't -- I can't hold it back any more, Max. It's time that you knew the whole story about Claudette.
  Maxie: Are you saying that you shot Claudette?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lucas: I must have seen someone that could help, so...
  [Monitors beeping intensified]
  Monica: Okay, Lucas, you're pushing yourself way too hard.
  Dr. Obrecht: Just focus on the face, Dr. Jones. Who did you see?
  Monica: I want everybody out of here. Now.
  Brad: All right, you heard the lady. Scram! Shh, shh, shh, shh. Come on, calm down.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Maxie: I can't believe this. You were -- you were so angry with your wife for cheating on you that you shot her?
  Nathan: No, Maxie, no. No, I could never hurt Claudette. I... I shot her lover.
  Maxie: You shot him?
  Nathan: Yes. I -- I... look, things had gotten really bad between Claudette and me. We were fighting all the time, one thing after another, and I confronted her one night, and I asked her if she was seeing another guy. She made me think I was crazy. And I was drinking all the time, and -- and everything in me told me that Claudette was cheating. But I had no proof. So, one night, the station screwed up. And I went in for an overnight shift, and I wasn't on the schedule, so instead of going home, I went out with some of the guys, and I got wasted. She was in bed with him. And I -- I just reacted. I -- I drew my gun, and I fired, half blind. And then I passed out. The guy was gone when I came to. But I definitely hit him. There was blood on the sheets.
  Claudette: What did you do?!
  Nathan: I don't even remember what the guy looked like. Claudette wouldn't tell me what happened or even who he was.
  Maxie: So you never found out what happened to him.
  Nathan: I tried. I -- I looked everywhere. I wanted to make it right somehow, but the guy never checked in to an ER, he never reported it. Truthfully, I'm lucky he didn't. I would've lost my badge for sure. I might be in prison right now instead of here with you.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jordan: Dr. Quartermaine, I'm gonna need a copy of the schedule for the night of the Nurses' Ball. I want to know what doctors were on call, who signed in for work, and when.
  Dr. Mayes: This is ludicrous. Obviously, something terrible happened to Dr. Jones, but his memory is suspect, tainted by the trauma and the effects of derisifol. If we take him at his word, every single doctor is a suspect.
  Jordan: Well, we'll narrow that down.
  Finn: Good luck. That could be anybody in a lab coat. That's all Lucas could identify.
  Dr. Obrecht: Perhaps the commissioner should focus on the staff with unsavory histories.
  Finn: Well, that puts you at the top of the list.
  Dr. Obrecht: And further refine her search by zeroing in on those who are drug addicts, starting with you, Dr. Finn.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Naomi: Are we really going to do this again? I am not responsible for your father going to prison. He is.
  Hayden: You turned him in to the government.
  Naomi: Because he was committing fraud on a massive scale. If I hadn't acted when I did, you and I might have found ourselves on the hook for Raymond's crimes.
  Hayden: So I should thank you?
  Naomi: Well, a little gratitude wouldn't be entirely out of order.
  Hayden: You have a long wait ahead of you. We were a family, and you destroyed us.
  Naomi: I did what had to be done, and in your heart, you know that. But the part of you that's still a little girl needs someone to blame, and it certainly isn't gonna be Raymond, so you're lashing out at me. You would feel very differently if you knew the entire truth.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: Okay, for me, let's go over this one more time, please.
  Jason: [Sighs]
  Sam: Thank you. When you got to Wyndemere, was the front door open?
  Jason: No, it was closed, but it was unlocked. I entered, I yelled up to Nikolas, and that's when I heard the noise from upstairs. Nikolas!
  Sam: Okay. So if Nikolas staged the whole thing...
  Jason: It wouldn't make sense, because it didn't sound like two people fighting. It could've been him deliberately moving the furniture. It sounded like the noise was coming from one of the bedrooms upstairs, but all the doors were shut. And then I heard a crash coming from Nikolas' bedroom.
  [Glass shatters]
  Sam: And that's when I arrived. I heard the glass breaking.
  Jason: Yeah. I entered Nikolas' bedroom. The room was trashed, the window was broken to pieces...
  Sam: And there was no sign of anyone else?
  Jason: No, not until you showed up and then later, Curtis and Hayden.
  Sam: Okay, well, it would be easy for Nikolas to stage the whole thing.
  Jason: He wrecks the room himself, he breaks the window so it looks like he was attacked and pushed through.
  Sam: And you were right outside the room when the window broke.
  Jason: Yeah. So how could he have made it out of there if he didn't go through the window? Like you said, that house has so many secret passageways, I'm willing to bet that Nikolas had one in his bedroom.
  Sam: Okay. But even if he did use a secret passageway, I don't think there's any way he had enough time to get down to the beach and pose his body.
  Jason: Maybe he didn't have to.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Finn: You're being a bad ?, and you're crossing the line.
  Dr. Obrecht: I hardly think relaying reports of your substance abuse is out of bounds. Our colleagues and patients have the right to know that they're...
  Finn: And now you're spreading rumors again.
  Dr. Obrecht: ...Star internist operates under a diminished capacity.
  Dr. Mayes: Liesl, do you have proof of this?
  Dr. Obrecht: The proof is in Dr. Jones and the corpses of the two patients Dr. Finn already lost under similarly dubious circumstances. It is evidence of a pattern.
  Finn: I'm not doing this.
  Dr. Mayes: We need to conduct a review of all patient deaths going back months, maybe years.
  Jordan: Which my people will do. I'm not ruling anything out. Dr. Finn, I, uh, expect that you'll make yourself available for an interview at the station?
  Finn: Unless I am with a patient, I am completely at your disposal, Commissioner.
  Jordan: Thank you. I'll be in touch soon.
  Finn: Thank you.
  Jordan: Dr. Quartermaine, a word.
  Monica: Of course.
  Dr. Obrecht: What is that American colloquialism? It was nice knowing you.
  Monica: I just want to assure you, Commissioner, you have the complete cooperation of the entire hospital staff.
  Jordan: Thank you. Thank you so much, but I actually have another matter to discuss with you. It's your son.
  Monica: Jason?
  Jordan: A warrant has been issued for his arrest for the murder of Nikolas Cassadine.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Sam: We saw the body on the rocks.
  Jason: No, we didn't. We saw something that could pass for a body when seen from a distance.
  Sam: Oh. Right. Some kind of a dummy or something?
  Jason: Before we were able to get close enough to make sure...
  Sam: It was washed away into the harbor.
  Jason: Yeah, that's right. Nikolas placed a body on the rocks, right? He knew everybody would be off the island so he wouldn't be disturbed. He cut himself to leave behind his DNA, he went back down, he placed his cufflink, he left his smashed phone. He needed to make sure the right assumptions would be made. He goes back upstairs...
  [Glass shatters]
  Jason: He wrecks his room... he destroys the window, and then he takes off. Now, while he's making his escape, he has some sort of secret passageway. We spot the body from the upstairs window. As we go downstairs to make sure he's okay, he's actually disposing of the dummy, and he's covering his tracks in the storm.
  Sam: There's -- there's still a big hole. There's no way that Nikolas could've framed you. He wasn't sure if you were coming or not.
  Jason: Maybe he was trying to frame somebody else.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hayden: You always do this -- hint at some deep, dark truth I don't understand.
  Naomi: Well, there is a lot more to the story than you realize.
  Hayden: Then stop dropping hints and tell me.
  Naomi: I don't want to speak ill of your father.
  Hayden: [Scoffs] Since when?
  Naomi: Raymond made his own choices and now he is living with the consequences. You and I, we are what's known as collateral damage. We're just left to stumble around the wreckage, our assets liquidated, the proceeds awarded to the victims. Baby, you and I have been bled dry.
  Hayden: Yeah, well, that's what I keep telling the Feds.
  Naomi: So?
  Hayden: But they won't leave me alone.
  Naomi: Let me help.
  Hayden: How? You're no better off than I am.
  Naomi: I know how to deal with these government people. And they owe me because I cooperated with the investigation. Perhaps I can persuade them to leave you alone.
  Hayden: You would do that?
  Naomi: That you would even wonder... you are my daughter. Rachel, I -- Hayden -- whatever you want to call yourself. I love you. And that is a given.
  Hayden: Thank you. That, um...helps.
  Naomi: Good. Then, uh, perhaps, in return, you could help me. I'm trying to track down my diamond necklace. You know the one.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Dr. Obrecht: Ms. Webber, I require the complete files on Dr. Finn's two recently deceased patients.
  Elizabeth: Yeah, I'm right in the middle of something.
  Dr. Obrecht: This is important!
  Elizabeth: Can you get it yourself? I'm really busy.
  Dr. Obrecht: How dare you.
  Franco: Nurse Webber, they just paged you. You're needed in surgery. Dr. Obrecht, my, is that a new lab coat? It's fetching. Is that fitted? What are you doing? What, you don't have enough enemies already?
  Elizabeth: I don't -- I don't care about her feelings. I actually have work to do.
  Franco: Okay, just take one second, then, all right? Just take a second. Hey. Just talk to me.
  Elizabeth: If you think I'm gonna break down about Nikolas in front of you, you can forget it.
  Franco: You don't have to do that. I'm fine with that.
  Elizabeth: I don't really care if you are or you're not.
  Franco: Okay. Why don't you just tell me what's the deal with the Hayden thing? What's --
  Elizabeth: I do not want to talk about Hayden.
  Franco: Okay, we don't have to talk about that, either. We can talk about --
  Elizabeth: She's a duplicitous snake. I know she had something to do with Nikolas' disappearance. I just don't know what.
  Franco: Oh. Okay. This happens to be my area of expertise. If you're looking to destroy a rival, you've come to the right guy.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: Claudette and I divorced and went on with our lives. And I -- I never did find out what happened to the guy she was sleeping with. So I just put it in the past and tried to act like it never happened. That's it, Max. That's the whole story.
  Maxie: Okay, well, um... I guess this all makes sense.
  Nathan: What does?
  Maxie: Why I couldn't, um... track down Claudette. She's hiding from you.
  Nathan: What do you -- you've been trying to find Claudette? You made me think that --
  Maxie: I made you think otherwise? Yeah, there's a lot of that going around.
  Nathan: I deserve that. Max, I lied to you. I know I did. And I hated myself for doing it, but I was just --
  Maxie: I know, okay? I know. You were afraid that I wouldn't understand. You were afraid that you would lose me.
  Nathan: So you get it.
  Maxie: How could I not? Do you know how many lies I've told, how many people I've hurt in the process?
  Nathan: So we can find a way past this.
  Maxie: I don't know.
  Nathan: But you just said that --
  Maxie: I said that I have told a lot of selfish and hurtful lies... but you knew that about me. This changes everything that I thought I knew about you. Nathan, I always saw you as -- as one way, and now you have turned out to be something completely different.
  Nathan: Maxie, I am still the same guy today that I was when you sublet your place to me.
  Maxie: That guy that I met and got to know and fell in love with... he never would've lied to me, Nathan. Took me a while to, um, finally start... trusting that you would always be honest with me... even when you knew that it would hurt me. And then... I find out, this whole time, you were keeping a secret from me. A huge part of your life, you were hiding it from me.
  Nathan: I know, Max, and I should've -- when you found that glove in my old tux, I should've told you whose it was. I should've told you about Claudette, the shooting...
  Maxie: Yeah, yeah. That would've been a really good time. I probably would've hated it... but hiding the truth has just made it worse.
  Nathan: I know, Max, and that's why I came clean. Don't you see? 'Cause to keep it a secret would ruin everything that we have now, and -- and everything that we have -- that we'll have after.
  Maxie: Whoa. What -- what do we have now? And what do you think is coming after?
  Nathan: Well, we're getting married. Aren't we?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hayden: You're not here because you're worried about me. You just want your diamond necklace.
  Naomi: Can't it be both? You are my daughter, and I love you. But I also would like my fair share of the only asset your father left us.
  Hayden: Well, you should've called first. I could've saved you the trip. I don't have the necklace.
  Naomi: Yes, you do. Every one of those diamonds was registered. And recently, one of the stones has surfaced. Your husband was the seller.
  Hayden: It's true. Nikolas did sell one of the diamonds.
  Naomi: And you have the rest. I'm not mad. No, honey, quite the contrary, I'm happy, because those stones will fund us for years to come.
  Hayden: No, they won't. Nikolas found those diamonds hidden away, and he stole them. Now he's gone, and so are they.
  Naomi: And you're lying -- [Scoffs] Hayden. God, in your own way, you are just as greedy as your father.
  Hayden: You know what? Stop it! Stop with the insults. Stop with the criticism, okay? Between you and Elizabeth Webber, I have had enough today.
  Naomi: [Stammers] Elizabeth Webber?
  Hayden: Yeah. Why? I -- I thought you didn't know her. Do you?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Elizabeth: You would help me get Hayden?
  Franco: Yeah. That'd be fun.
  Elizabeth: Do you even know her?
  Franco: We take the same yoga class.
  Elizabeth: Why?
  Franco: What do you mean, why? It's medically proven. All the deep breathing -- really advantageous.
  Elizabeth: No, why would you help me?
  Franco: Well, to begin with, Hayden is a total show-off, teacher's pet. Like, correcting all the other students, like her downward dog is so great.
  Elizabeth: Is that all?
  Franco: Of course, that's not all. Elizabeth, I wouldn't mind you getting a win. I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you like your life the way it is. Maybe -- maybe losing is your thing.
  Elizabeth: Supposing I say yes... what do you have in mind?
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jason: Yeah, I think you're right. Nikolas couldn't have meant to frame me. It had to be somebody he was reasonably sure would be on their way to Wyndemere.
  Sam: Maybe it was the same person he was trying to escape in the first place.
  Jason: Hayden.
  Sam: [Scoffs] It's unbelievable. Nikolas not only steals months of your life, but he botches a setup against Hayden and leaves you to take the blame.
  [Cell phone rings]
  Jason: Well, let me get this. It's Monica. Hey.
  Monica: Jason, uh, we need to talk.
  Jason: What's going on? Okay, well, thank you for the information. Is Danny okay? All right, well, try not to worry. I'll -- I'll call as soon as I can. Okay.
  Sam: That didn't sound good.
  Jason: Well, remember when Diane said that as soon as the police found a shred of physical evidence, they would have me arrested?
  Sam: They found it.
  Jason: There's a warrant out for my arrest.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Monica: Oh, Dr. Finn, uh, we need to talk.
  Finn: About?
  Monica: Do you have a drug problem?
  Finn: No, no. Not you, too, Monica. I mean, they don't have you breathing Obrecht's hot air, do they?
  Monica: Just answer the question.
  Finn: No, I do not have a drug problem.
  Monica: Because it is in both of our interests that you be exonerated.
  Finn: Exonerated from what, exactly? Baseless allegations being made by a nutcase with a vendetta against me?
  Monica: Work with me, please, Finn. Take a drug test.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Lucas: You look tired, babe.
  Brad: [Chuckles] Hours of fear and bargaining with God will do that. I nearly lost you.
  Lucas: Sorry I worried you. I'm really sorry... I missed our wedding.
  Brad: Forget it. I don't even care. I'm -- I'm just glad you're okay.
  Lucas: You don't care? What -- what, are you saying you don't want to get married anymore?
  Brad: Oh, we're getting married, one way or another.
  Lucas: Okay.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Dr. Mayes: Liesl, how sure are you about Dr. Finn? Do you really think he can't be trusted?
  Dr. Obrecht: I'm certain of it.
  Dr. Mayes: But you have no proof.
  Dr. Obrecht: I'll get it! Trust me. He's hiding something. It takes a secret- keeper to know a secret-keeper.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Finn: You want me to submit to a drug test?
  Monica: It's a condition of all new hires.
  Finn: I wasn't asked previously.
  Monica: Because I fast-tracked you. I stuck my neck out, Dr. Finn, by bypassing the usual vetting procedures.
  Finn: I am not on drugs.
  Monica: Then take the damn test so we can all move on. Just show up at the lab tomorrow.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Jason: The cops are gonna expect me to run, so, uh, I think for right now, we're better off here.
  Sam: But wait. We can't stay holed up forever.
  Jason: I don't intend to. We are going to prove this whole thing was a setup, that Nikolas is still alive, but in the meantime...
  Sam: What?
  Jason: I told you... Sonny kept this place stocked. Now, what's your poison? Would you like scotch or would you like tequila?
  Sam: Um, well, of course, that depends. Are there any dominoes here?
  Jason: I have no idea.
  Sam: Okay. Well, wait -- wait a second.
  Jason: Okay. You must really love dominoes.
  Sam: Um... I -- think hard. You like dominoes, too.
  Jason: Oh, I remember. We played dominoes, and we drank tequila, and I won.
  Sam: No, I won!
  Jason: That's not how I remember it.
  Sam: [Squeals] Well, your memory's totally unreliable, and mine is... perfection. Bingo.
  Jason: Okay.
  Sam: What do you say? Rematch?
  Jason: Sure. But, uh, here. First, a toast.
  Sam: To what?
  Jason: To us. Come on. Cheers.
  Sam: [Chuckles]
  Jason: Ahh.

  Franco: All right, so I'm pretty good at surveillance, so I'm thinking maybe we, you know, set up some hidden cameras, right? Find out what Hayden's secret is.
  Elizabeth: You know what? No, thanks.
  Franco: Okay. No, wait. Hold on a second. Hold on. That's just my first idea.
  Elizabeth: No, the fact that I'm even considering teaming up with you just shows that my head is not on straight.
  Franco: I'm just trying to help you out.
  Elizabeth: I actually think you mean that.
  Franco: I do.
  Elizabeth: I... I just can't handle any more complications in my life right now. Losing Nikolas hurts. He was my only true friend.
  Franco: I know you can't see it right now... but that is just not so.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hayden: Mother, do you somehow know Elizabeth Webber?
  Naomi: Well, the name, it's -- it does sound really... familiar. You know, is that "Webber" with one B or two?
  Hayden: Fine. Don't tell me. It's late.
  Naomi: All right, well, tomorrow, first thing, you and I need to search this entire house for those diamonds.
  Hayden: Do you have someplace to stay? Don't say here.
  Naomi: I wouldn't dream of imposing. I'm staying at the Metro Court. I still have points to spend. The government didn't get everything. I will see you tomorrow, baby.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Nathan: Maxie, do you still want to marry me?
  Maxie: I cannot talk about this right now.
  Nathan: Maxie, please.
  Maxie: You know, Nathan, you just told me that you shot some guy in a drunken, jealous rage. What if he shows up here one day? What if he brings the police with him? What happens to us then, huh?
  Nathan: We'll figure it out together. Maxie, don't throw away what we have now. Don't tell me that this is over.
  Maxie: This is a lot to process for me, and I just need some time to sort it all out, okay?
  Nathan: Okay, so let's sort it together.
  Maxie: No, no. Not tonight.
  Nathan: Where are you going?
  Maxie: I'm gonna go to my parents' house. I just -- I can't be here.
  Nathan: Maxie, come -- don't go, plea--
  Maxie: I'll see you when I see you, okay?
  [NEXT_ON]
  Nathan  to Maxie : We're still together, aren't we?
  Kristina  to Aaron : I may have the answer to all of your problems.
  Dillon  to Kiki : Will you go on a real date with me?
  Sonny  to Morgan : What is it you're not telling me?
  Diane  to Alexis : You're going to turn Julian into the police today.
  Julian  to Ava : I have the resources to silence someone permanently.
summary: Jason and Sam are alone and brainstorming what really happened and how it can be proven he did not attempt to kill Nikolas. He theorizes that Nikolas staged his fall to pin his "murder" on Jason. Sam reminds him that it's possible that is not the case and there's no proof of his theory. At the hospital, Jordan informs Monica and she informs Jason, that there is a warrant out for his arrest. At that point, Sam is determined to come up with evidence to exonerate Jason. There is also a "mystery" involving how or by whom Lucas got injected with a lethal drug. He comes to and remembers what happened to him although he admits he could not identify the person who injected him, since it was dark and hard to see, although he knows it was a person wearing a white coat. Dr. Obrecht is certain that Finn did it. Dr. Mayes listens although he reminds her there's no proof. Monica wants to believe and give Finn the benefit of the doubt but wonders why he would not want to submit to a voluntary drug test in order to disprove Dr. Obrecht's charges that he has a drug addiction and is likely to have injected Lucas. Hayden/Rachel's mom makes a surprise visit to see her daughter at Wyndemere, remarks that Hayden/Rachel is becoming as greedy as her father, but promises to be there for her when it seems her daughter is in trouble. Elizabeth is upset and frustrated that she cannot expose Hayden/Rachel for who she really is when Franco offers to help Elizabeth by using surveillance cameras. Yet she admits that she is more concerned about losing Nikolas who has been her best friend. Nathan reveals to Maxie, his secret regarding his marriage to Claudette, for the first time. He informs her that he and his wife were having problems. he suspected although he could not prove, that she was cheating. One night when he was drinking, he caught them in bed together, shot the other guy and assumed he'd be arrested and lose his police badge. Maxie listens and realizes she cannot judge her fiancé for lying and keeping this secret from her, as she's done the same throughout her life. However, she informs Nathan, she never expected this behavior from him and up until now believed he was a very different kind of man than whom he is now revealing to her that he really is. With that, she tells him she needs time, has to move out for a while and stay with her mom, until things get sorted out, postponing their wedding.
