[ scene_break ] babe : hello , janet . janet : i thought the nurse was kidding . after all this time , you suddenly decide to drop by and visit after everything we 've been through and the promises you made and broke ? babe : janet , you tried to kill me , and you wanted to take my son . janet : the freezer showed bad judgment on my part , and i apologize , but i really thought for a while there that we were best buds , peas in a pod . we were going to be the next mom and best pal daughter . babe : you were disappointed ? janet : devastated , destroyed , but honestly , i am so glad about the way things worked out -- well , for you , at least . babe : i just -- i want you to know that -- that i understand desperate and doing things that you regret . i 've made so many terrible mistakes , and i get that you may still be mad at some people for messing up your plan . janet : not you . you and i can settle our past with mutual forgiveness . babe : i was actually wondering -- janet : you are my friend , are n't you ? i have to know , you see , because otherwise they accuse me of having delusions . they 're always looking . babe : you mean a lot to me . i 'm just glad that we had enough time in the cabin to bond . janet : you married j.r . babe : hmm . janet : so , how soon before you start your plan -- you get rid of him and keep that sweet son of yours ? [ scene_break ] j.r. : i do n't go down easy . di : j.r. , you play dirty . j.r. : either you play dirty or you catch on fast -- because you just won . jamie : are you kidding me ? there is no way that you 're new to this game , and you beat us that bad . di : oh , come on . i never heard of spite and malice before . would i cheat the men who are about to become my stepsons ? j.r. : not if you 're smart . di : no , come on . let 's play again . it was beginner 's luck . jamie : no , no , no . that 's too easy . it 's time to move on to more serious challenges . [ scene_break ] erica : go on , greg . do n't hold back . there 's nothing that you can say in front of your son , josh , that you ca n't say in front of my child , unless you do n't consider our children equals ? kendall : if it 's about my mother , i have a right to hear it more than josh does . greg : you 're really pushing this , are n't you ? kendall : ok , well , what is the big deal ? just come out with it . erica : ultimately , whatever you have to say affects kendall . it affects my whole family . so go ahead , greg . why not tell them the truth ? kendall : come on , greg . what is this ? just tell me . josh : are you protecting her ? did she try to kill you or not ? kendall : what ? excuse -- what ? josh : my dad was dosed with cardiac meds , and i figured it was erica that did it . kendall : you did n't , did you ? erica : of course not . why would i ? kendall : did she ? josh : ok , if this is not the truth we 're talking around , what is ? erica : yes , greg . what is ? greg : do you really think this is the time to share the intimate details of our past with our children ? josh : wait , since -- you -- you and erica were actually involved ? kendall : you -- you were not . why are you trying to make it sound like you and my mother had an affair ? erica : yes , greg . why ? kendall : you know that 's not how it happened . josh : am i the only one that 's completely out of the loop here ? what did happen ? erica : greg ? would you care to bring josh into the loop ? i mean , of course , if you 're too ashamed -- josh : ashamed to tell me what ? greg : never in my entire life have i done anything that i 'm ashamed of . can you say the same ? erica : i most definitely can . josh : ok , drop the code and someone tell me something i can understand . or , kendall , if you can translate , do you know what happened between them ? erica : i was young and vulnerable , and i trusted your father . unfortunately , i did n't realize the depth of his obsession . josh : obsession for her ? no . no -- crush , maybe , but you were in love with my mother . erica : yes , josh . he was in love with your mother . josh : how would you know what went on between my father and my mother ? kendall : ok , who cares ? it does n't matter about josh 's mother . that 's not the point here . ok , josh , listen . my mother was pregnant and for reasons that are none of your business , she wanted to terminate the pregnancy . so she went to a clinic in new york where your father worked , and greg performed the procedure , which was completely legal , and he ended it . so that is their big connection from the past . josh : and now my father is treating you ? kendall : yeah , and my mom 's pretty creeped out about it . erica : oh . `` creeped out `` does n't begin to cover it . kendall : well , it is really odd circumstances and -- and very strange . i mean , the man that terminated her pregnancy all those years ago was the same man who inseminated me . josh : yeah . that 's definitely odd . kendall : yeah , so you , you know , anyone would be a little weirded out . greg : i 'm not exactly happy with the connection myself . erica : but you 're the one who stayed and encouraged it . you 're the one who has brought us to this . greg : but it does n't all end here . or does it ? erica : no . because there is quite a secret that josh and kendall do n't know . and you could n't imagine it in your wildest nightmares . josh : terminating a pregnancy can be one of the most difficult decisions a woman could ever possibly have to make . even when you 're certain it 's for the best , there can still be a lot of guilt involved . erica : i was prepared to deal with the fallout from my choice . i did deal with that . josh : well , still , you associate my father with a very unpleasant time of your life . erica : i was fine , actually , until your father insinuated himself back into my life . kendall : ok . treating me is not insinuating himself into your life . josh : greenlee and kendall chose to see my father . is n't that right ? erica : why is greg now practicing in pine valley ? all the clinics , all the women he could 've treated the world over -- why settle here ? have n't you asked yourself that ? josh : you think my father bought a building , staffed it , outfitted it just so that he could catch a glimpse of you every once in a while ? you know , you really are the living , breathing definition of narcissistic personality disorder . you belong in therapy . erica : maybe we should all go to therapy together . what do you think , greg ? do n't we make a cozy family unit ? [ scene_break ] babe : family is the most important thing that i can think of . janet : sure . but when a limb has gone bad , sometimes sawing it off is the best way to save the rest of the family tree . babe : no , i do n't want to saw off anything or anyone . janet : that 's good -- yes . it 's very convincing -- keep saying that no matter what . babe : janet , it 's true . janet : of course , it is . do n't worry -- your secret 's safe with me . of course , that is a little bit like locking the barn door after i led the horse to j.r. , but he was being so obnoxious , i just wanted to slap him , so i leaked your plan . babe : but it 's not my plan anymore . janet : mm - hmm . whatever you say . babe : look , i put j.r. through a lot in the past . janet : no more than he deserved , i bet . oh , come on , hon , face it -- he is a chip off adam chandler . babe : and i had given him many reasons to doubt me , but i 'm through with all of that now . janet : got it . get him to relax and then you can hit him hard and dirty . babe : no , no , i do n't want to hit j.r . i love him , janet . look , what i said to you in the cabin , i did n't mean . janet : that was another lie ? babe : look , i do n't want to make j.r. unhappy , i do n't want to leave him . i want us to trust and believe in each other . that 's why i came to you for help . janet : not a minute too late . i can snap you out of this romantic fantasy like that . [ scene_break ] tad : four years -- four years wondering and mourning and cursing god and myself and an endless stream of questions . i -- for the life of me , i ca n't even think of one . i guess it does n't matter anyway . after all this time being with you here like this , i guess they do n't matter anymore . the answers are certainly easy enough to figure out . one thing is for sure -- you 're not the runner - up of the chillicothe chili cook - off . dixie : oh . i 'm -- i 'm sorry ? tad : it 's a festival in ohio -- in spring , i think . i came across a -- a press release about 18 months ago . i could n't take my eyes off the picture of the girl who came in second place , because she just looked so much like you . i mean , she had your jaw and the shape of your face , everything . was n't you , was it ? dixie : no . tad : no , i -- i did n't think so . it 's not true . actually , i -- i did think so . i -- i wanted so badly for it to be you , and i cut the picture out of the paper , i enlarged it . the part of the girl , anyway . i used to carry it around in my wallet . it was n't a perfect picture . it was n't very good . in terms of a match , i guess if i stared at it long enough , squinted a little bit , i could convince myself that it was you . in the end , i knew it was wrong . i mean , the eyes were -- her eyes were n't as -- they were n't your eyes . my god , i think about the number of weeks i carried that stupid thing around in my wallet , you know ? i would take it out and unfold it and look at it , fold it up carefully and put it back in . must 've been months because i -- in the end , the thing just sort of creased through and fell apart . i 'll never forget the name . caption read `` becky caldwell . `` dixie : did you contact her ? tad : no . there was no point . because i knew if my wife were out there , and she were alive , gone to the trouble of changing her name , she would n't want me to know about it . and in the end , i realized that all it would take was one phone call for the truth to smack me in the face , rip up whatever hope i had left no matter how screwed up it was . never told anybody . what was i going to say -- `` hey , look , i got a hunch that dixie 's out whipping up chili in ohio `` ? or shopping at lacey 's , because i saw this woman from behind wearing your raincoat -- one just like yours -- and she had honey - colored hair . fact is , a day did n't go by for two years when i swear i -- i saw you somewhere -- on the street or in a magazine , even on tv . i 'd be , you know , channel - surfing with the boys and my heart would stop , because there you 'd be in the bleachers of a red sox game or playing tennis in australia . i could n't tell anyone , because in the end , i knew that none of them was you . but i did n't care because for just one second , my heart would pound , my pulse would race , and i would feel alive again just because of the possibility of you . because i saw -- or thought i saw . god , it even happened here . well , not here -- i mean over there somewhere . one day not too long ago , i saw a woman from behind in the moonlight -- the hair was n't right , but i guess i was so desperate , you know , when she turned around , i -- when she turned -- what the hell do you want from me ? [ scene_break ] greg : family therapy . that 's an interesting idea . our lives and our children 's lives are so closely intertwined . kendall : whoa , hold on . `` our children 's `` ? i barely even -- i barely even know josh except that maybe he drugged my mother . erica : i think you 're only confusing them , greg . make up your mind . do you want to keep them in the dark ? josh : ok , you all are talking in circles . if you have something to say , just get it over with . erica : yes , greg , go on . just admit what you 've done . josh : dad , what the hell is going on here ? if there 's nothing going on , then just say so . erica : josh , you might do better if you asked tad martin , because if it were n't for tad martin , i would still be in the dark myself . greg : that 's how you found out ? tad martin ? [ scene_break ] tad : sorry . but if i 've learned anything in the last four years , it 's that david hayward may be a son of a bitch , but he 's thorough , and he always learns from his mistakes , and he really got it right this time . the cheekbone , the nose -- even those eyes . yeah , he must 've spent a fortune on plastic surgery , at least i hope he did . it 's good work , whoever did it . tell me something -- what 's the going rate for turning somebody into my dead wife ? [ scene_break ] [ back at david 's cabin , he blows out the candles on the table , then angrily picks up the candle holder and flings it against the wall . ] [ scene_break ] tad : for all i know , you 're just another henry or a cooney or a hunkle . a sister or a half sister , a cousin five times removed . or maybe none of the above . maybe you 're just some stranger that hayward picked out of a crowd , because he saw another chance to create a dixie clone , another chance to tear my family apart . well , i 'm sorry , but he 's already come too close . dixie : what do you want me to say ? do you want me to be a fake ? will that make all the questions , the ones that really matter , go away ? if i tell you that this was all made up by a plastic surgeon , and i tell you that i 've never known you , never seen you ? never loved you ? will you be able to forget about me and write me off , forget this ever happened ? go back to your life ? be happy ?

's sweater , ok ? or earrings he made at summer camp or some mother 's day gift . because the fact is , they 're just a bunch of stories that hayward fed you , so you could give them back to me . dixie : i remember times when it was just you and me and no one else . no one to tell david anything . ozzie and harriet . tad : ozzie and – [ tad recalls scenes from the past . ] tad : ozzie ! dixie : what ? tad : ozzie and harriet ! ozzie and harriet ! ozzie and harriet -- what the -- i do n't know , it just popped into my mind . do n't ask me why . i do n't know what it means . does it mean anything , dixie ? you and i are going to be two of the greats in the hall of fame of romantic couples . dixie : oh , come on . tad : no , no , no , i 'm not kidding . romeo and juliet , antony and cleopatra -- dixie : try again . tad : sean and madonna ? dixie : ooh . tad : oh . ozzie and harriet . dixie : ozzie -- tad : and harriet .

kendall : i 'm leaving . what does it look like i 'm doing ? greenlee : oh , my god , kendall . what now ? kendall : everything you said about me was right . i 'm a total screw up . greenlee : you know , i do n't have time for another bout of self - loathing . kendall : you know what ? you do n't have to worry about it now because i 'm leaving . i 'm packing my things and i 'm going back to florida . you know what ? you can send my mail to the mikasuki tribal reservation for all i care . i 'm going to go be a keno girl at the casino unless i screw that up , too . who knows ? no , greenlee , i 've made up my mind . i 'm leaving . do n't -- do n't try to stop me . greenlee : stop you ? i 'll help you pack . bianca : you think it 's safe for you to mix it up with michael cambias ? boyd : i stand a better chance than kendall does . bianca : if you say so . you know , boyd , i got to say that i am really surprised and sick about what kendall did to you tonight . she knows that you 're practically her only defender in this town . boyd : yeah , well , i do n't blame kendall for any of this . bianca : i know that . that 's your problem . boyd : why ca n't you see this as cambias ' doing ? he 's a corporate raider , bianca . you think he 's only using kendall to get to my anti - aging formula ? he 's got his own team of chemists right now trying to beat me to the patent . bianca : ok , i believe that he wants your anti - aging formula . that 's not the point . the point is i do n't see how kendall was threatened or tricked into coming here tonight . boyd : come on -- bianca : i mean , she came here on her own to seduce you , boyd , and nobody was holding a gun to her head . kendall : i 'm leaving , greenlee . you do n't have to rush me . greenlee : if you 're going , go . duck the lawsuit . kendall : you think i 'm leaving because some quack is suing us ? greenlee : or because of evil erica , because michael wo n't take you up on his jet . who cares ? it 's always something with you and it 's never your fault . kendall : yeah , well -- well , this time it is my fault . i have no one to blame but myself . greenlee : well , that 's news . kendall : i ruined everything . i thought i could -- i thought i could stop -- i thought i could help , i thought i could save things , and i did n't . i just ruined it all . it 's falling apart . greenlee : what 's falling apart ? what did you do , kendall ? if it has anything to do with fusion -- kendall : no , it has nothing to do with fusion , ok ? at least i did n't hurt fusion . just me and boyd . greenlee : boyd ? kendall : it made complete sense . i -- i was stupid . everything i did -- i thought it made sense at the time . greenlee : what the hell did you do , kendall ? kendall : i thought i could help save fusion and keep michael by my side by helping him be at peace with his dying father . i do n't know -- maybe it did have to do with erica . i mean , it was classic me . it was classic me . i mean , no wonder it ended in total disaster . greenlee : kendall , kendall , kendall -- kendall : i do n't -- greenlee : kendall , just focus and tell me what happened . how does boyd fit into all this ? kendall : boyd developed this anti - aging product . he 's got the formula in his head . and i thought that maybe if i could get the formula for fusion , it would help us . greenlee : so you tried to lure him away from erica again ? what makes you think that it would work this time ? i mean , the guy 's got principles . kendall : yeah , well , at least he does because i do n't . greenlee : you slept with him this time . you had sex with boyd to get his formula . kendall : no , i did n't sleep with boyd . i tried to . but i just humiliated myself , and now i 've lost everything . lena : do n't you ever call me a whore again . michael : i apologize . forgive me . you 're free to choose your euphemism . only i want there to be no misunderstanding , lena . lena : there is no misunderstanding . michael : you seem to be very proud that you 've gained erica kane 's trust through your financial expertise . while i am very impressed that you have other talents , the reason i pay you and pay you very well -- lena : yes , i know that -- michael : is to take our enemies to bed and get what we need from them . do you understand that ? lena : but if i do n't feel that this is the best way of doing that -- michael : you 're right , you 're right . the best way would have been getting to boyd directly , but that did n't happen , did it ? so what do we do ? we adapt , lena . and you , my dear friend , are nothing if not versatile . lena : just that bianca 's so young . michael : wait , wait . are you telling me that miss bianca is underage ? lena : of course she is n't . michael : well , then her youth and inexperience should be a pleasant change for you . and in the end , it 'll make your job a lot easier , wo n't it ? lena : look , we do n't even know if she can get the formula from -- michael : listen , of course you can , of course you can , if you make her . lena : but -- michael : i have invested too much time and money to be stopped by your excuses . there 's no turning back now . do you understand that ? i 'm not going back to my father empty - handed . i do n't care who gets hurt . now , just get me what i want . liza : ok . one for you and one for you , and come right back from the jukebox , ok ? maddie : we will . thank you , liza . liza : you 're welcome . colby : thank you , mommy . liza : you 're welcome . maddie : come on , colby . i 'll read you the names of the songs . liza : ca n't you just see them 20 years from now sitting here talking about men ? mia : hmm . so , why 'd you want to get rid of them ? liza : well , i just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you i could have been wrong about edmund . mia : ah . about it being too soon after jake to -- liza : right , right . mia : yes . liza : i think i could have been wrong . i think that edmund is exactly what you need right now , and , from the way he looks at you , vice versa . mia : so do i . and so do you and so does edmund . so that leaves -- hmm -- maddie . liza : well , little girls at this age can be a force . you ca n't let that stop you . mia : no , no . no , i think she 's terrific . and i like that edmund puts his kids first . i like that he 's that kind of man , which is another reason why i would love to -- liza : be alone with him ? mia : no . no . [ liza giggles ] mia : to go slow , you know ? liza : yeah . mia : i mean , you 're right . it 's -- it 's weird . i never thought i 'd feel this way so soon after jake , but i do . i do . and aside from the timing , everything else feels great . liza : well , you could certainly do worse . mia : and i have . liza : and you have . mia : yes , yes . liza : yes . [ liza and mia chuckle ] edmund : so why did maria come to you ? i mean , what did she want ? david : you 'd better talk to her . edmund : look , are you trying to hide behind doctor / patient confidentiality ? david : that 's not what i 'm doing . edmund : just tell me -- what did she want ? was it about her memory ? david : what do you think ? edmund : and you told her you could n't help her , right ? david : that 's right . edmund : how did she seem ? frantic ? david : look , she had some tests done at p.v.h . , all right , and -- edmund , you really need to talk to her , ok ? when you came to me , i thought that you already had . edmund : what are you hiding ? david : if i answer your question , you 're not going to like the answer . edmund : oh , i see . you 're protecting me ? david : i just do n't want to think another second about you or maria or her memory , all right ? i have my own problems . edmund : there 's one potential problem you do n't have yet -- anna does n't know about the experimental drug . david : are you threatening me , edmund ? alright . i 'm happy to tell you what you want to know . maria came to me because she wanted my professional opinion that she would n't get her memory back . maria : so i went to see david today about my memory . maggie : ok , so you could n't tell aidan because why ? because aidan hates david ? maria : no , i could n't -- i could n't tell aidan because i -- i honestly did n't know what kind of answers i was going to get or even -- i did n't even know what i wanted to hear . maggie : right , but i thought you were doing great . i mean , you took the o - chem test , you remembered everything just like that . i mean , why are you giving up all hope now ? maria : i 'm not -- i 'm not giving up hope . it 's just it 's more about -- i really -- maggie , i really feel like i 'm going crazy with all of these blank spaces in my life , and -- and especially when it comes to my kids because i -- i feel like i 'm leaving all these people in this emotional limbo . i 'm hurting so many people . and i want to remember being their mother . but what happens then is that i might remember loving their father . maggie : oh . maria : yeah , so i do n't know what happens then . i mean , do i just wake up one day and suddenly i 'm in love with edmund again ? i do n't know . i -- maggie : right , right . well , i -- i do n't know . maybe , you know , if you remember everything , then you will remember your life , past and present . and , well , then you 'll be able to choose , right ? right . right . then you 'll be able to -- oh , god , you 'll have to choose . maria : so now you see where i am . i 'm -- maggie : yeah , i see . i see . well , there 's really not much that you can do , right ? i mean , what did david say about it ? maria : that 's what he said . that 's exactly what he said . maggie : well , then you will do the best that you can . you know ? just do the best that you can . and please , anybody who can handle o - chem twice can figure out anything . [ maria chuckles ] maggie : do n't worry . maria : god , it does n't feel like it , though . you know what ? blah . just -- let 's not even -- maggie : ok . maria : talk about it anymore . maggie : all right . and we 'll have plenty to talk about after -- hmm . maria : after what ? maggie : uh -- you 'll -- you 'll see , you 'll see . for what it 's worth , memory loss ? please . i -- i 'm still , you know , quite confused . i do n't think that henry and i will really ever work out . maria : really ? i think you guys are such a good match . [ maggie sighs ] henry : hi . boyd : you 're never going to change your opinion of kendall . bianca : that 's because i 've known kendall a lot longer than you have and i know what she 's capable of . boyd : but you did n't see her face tonight , bianca , ok ? the shame she felt , how sorry she was . look , i know she came here to use me , but i 'm not giving up on her . bianca : boyd , did you ever think that maybe that 's exactly what she was counting on when she came here ? boyd : look ; you 're forgetting she could n't go through with it . bianca : well , i 'm sorry , but that 's small consolation , boyd . look , i 've learned the hard way that if you give kendall a second or a third chance , it just makes her see you as a pushover . i mean , i never even hear from kendall unless she needs something from me . and can you honestly say that it 's been any different for you ? boyd : no . no , i guess not . bianca : that 's right . so just forget about her . it 's time to move on . boyd : yeah . just as long as it 's not lena , right ? bianca : face it , boyd -- lena has already moved on with me . boyd : yeah , you hope . bianca : look , lay off . i really like her . boyd : i know . bianca : and by the way , simone is right upstairs . boyd : do n't tell me you 're going to start playing matchmaker now . is n't that myrtle 's thing ? bianca : oh , well , and mine , too , so give me a break . boyd : you know , it 's really good to see you smile like this . for what it 's worth , i hope lena does n't disappoint you . bianca : me , too . boyd : come on -- can we be a little more positive here ? bianca : how about being realistic ? boyd : ah , it 's overrated . bianca : i agree . so just do me a favor -- do n't go banging down michael cambias ' door just yet . boyd : look , i promise i wo n't do anything stupid . but i 'm not through with cambias , not by a long shot . lena : michael , i promise you i will get you boyd 's formula , but targeting bianca is not the way . michael : why not ? lena : because boyd will never confide in her , not when it comes to something of this magnitude . michael : you 're protecting her . lena : no ! michael : then why this sudden attack of morals ? i know it 's not because bianca 's female . i know from personal experience -- lena : it 's not that . michael : you 've never shied away from that . lena : i 'm not even sure bianca will be interested . michael : well , you know , you 're being too modest . i saw the way she was looking at you in the restaurant tonight . oh , no . lena , do n't tell me -- my cold , polish courtesan is falling in love . kendall : so you see why i hate myself ? i mean , really , could i sink any lower ? greenlee : kendall , this is n't the first time you 've used sex to get what you wanted . and besides , it did n't work . i mean , there 's something in your favor . kendall : yeah , but , greenlee , you should have seen boyd 's face . you should have seen him . he liked me so much , and now he looks at me and he 's -- he 's disgusted by me . i ca n't even imagine what michael is going to think of when he sees me . i ca n't even imagine what he 's going to think of when i tell him . greenlee : so do n't . i mean , i get that boyd 's anti - aging cream could help fusion , but what 's the connection with michael ? kendall : i promised him i 'd get it . greenlee : why would he care whether fusion gets boyd 's formula ? i need more , kendall . kendall : michael 's father is dying . he 's dying . and despite all of michael 's success , his father 's not satisfied . so michael has to prove himself before it 's too late or he 's going to be disinherited , and then he 's going to have to go back to europe and he 's going to have work for whoever is running his father 's company . greenlee : i ran into michael tonight . he mentioned wanting to help us out of our troubles . so if you got boyd 's formula and he had a stake in fusion , he could cash in on boyd 's discovery . kendall : no , it 's not about money , greenlee . it 's not about money . michael wants to prove that he 's successful to his father before it 's too late . i mean , come on . you of all people should understand that . greenlee : no , wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . did michael know what you were planning to do with boyd ? kendall : no , of course not . he specifically warned me not to do it . greenlee : then he did know . kendall , how could you be so blind ? he set you up . kendall : no , greenlee , he did not set me up . no , he loves me . michael -- he told me today that he loves me . greenlee : yeah , yeah . well , all the more reason for you to be loyal . kendall : no , you 're wrong , greenlee . michael loves me . he loves me . for the first time in my life , i have somebody who gives me hope , who makes me want to live . greenlee : damn it , kendall , you do n't need michael to give you hope or to make you want to live . we have lots to live for . we have this company we started . so you 're not running away -- you hear me ? you go to florida , and i will slap you with a lawsuit . kendall : well -- well -- well , what do i do now ? what am i supposed to do now ? greenlee : you stay right here till i get back . david : you happy now ? maria does n't want to remember you , edmund . if anything , she wants to find a way to keep her memories from coming back . edmund : was that so hard ? thank you for telling me . david : that does n't upset you ? edmund : maria always said that she was happy as maureen , and i could n't accept that at first . but now i see it 's the truth , so i wo n't interfere . david : well , that 's a big change from the person who begged me to use an untested drug on her -- edmund : yes , it 's a big change , yes . david : and what caused that ? i see . well , i guess everybody 's happy , right ? mia : i was n't eavesdropping . i just -- i thought maybe you needed some rescuing . edmund : next time , you can beat him up for me , ok ? mia : yeah . so you 're really ok with maria not getting her memory back ? edmund : did n't i tell you that already ? mia : yes . edmund : yes , but you did n't quite believe me ? mia : well , i do now . maddie : daddy ? edmund : yes , sweetheart ? maddie : can we spend the night at colby 's ? her mommy says we could drive to her daddy 's , and tomorrow we could have breakfast at the duck pond . edmund : i think that 's a great idea . now why do n't you go tell liza and colby thank you very , very , very , very much . maddie : i will . edmund : ahem . maybe i should thank you for that ? mia : what ? me ? no , no , i mean , this was -- this was totally liza 's surprise . i -- i mean , i guess i did mention to her that i might like to be alone with you . edmund : well , if that 's the case , what do we do with the rest of our night ? maria : oh . henry : why would anyone take on this kind of a crowd ? maria : some sort of a death wish , i think . and no pressure , but i think you should get up and play now . henry : yeah -- maria : come on . henry : that 'll happen . aidan : oh , come on . according to maggie , you 're brilliant . henry : maggie 's full of it . maggie : oh , stop it . would you just admit it ? you are awesome . maria : well , it 's ok to be modest because it 's a very attractive quality . henry : it 's not modesty . i 'm just not ready . maria : oh . well , i hope you let us decide for ourselves . maggie : mm - hmm . maria : come on . maggie : you will . maria : you 're not going to do it . you 're not going to do it . maggie : i can almost guarantee it . man : all right ! it 's time for our final performer of the evening . but this artist is so shy , all we have is a cassette tape . now , normally we would n't do this , but we listened and were blown away . we think you will be , too . so without further ado , sit back and enjoy the music of free radical . aidan : `` free radical `` ? is n't that , like , some kind of political statement ? maria : it 's actually an organic chemistry term . but just seems like a bit of a coincidence . i do n't know . did you do this ? mag ? [ guitar music plays ] henry : what -- wait , wait -- you did this ? i mean , how did you -- maggie : i taped you . come on . i mean , i was n't going to play it at first , but then i thought , well -- patrons : shh ! [ guitar music plays ] maria : yay ! aidan : yeah . maria : that was so beautiful . aidan : it was great , man . it was great . you 're the man . maria : it was great . man : free radical . wherever you are , thank you . oh , i know it 's a tough act to follow , but someone 's got to do it . does anyone else want to come up and perform ? maria : hey , i think you should do your austin powers imitation . come on . aidan : that 's for your eyes only , baby . man : no ? no ? well , then we 'll put away the mike till same time next week . but the night is young and full of energy . so hang back , dance , have a good time . [ music plays ] maggie : are you mad ? henry : no . maria : want to dance ? aidan : yeah , sure . maria : ok . guys . maggie : i know i took a big chance , but you heard what you sounded like . and did you see how happy you made everybody ? henry : no one 's happier right now than i am . and it 's all because of you . aidan : well , i 'd say maggie 's surprise turned out well . maria : yeah . aidan : hey , what 's up with you today ? maria : what do you mean ? aidan : i do n't know . you just seem -- you seemed distant all evening . maria : um -- i lied to you today . edmund : i did tell you that sammy 's with isabella tonight ? mia : yes , you did . yeah . but please do n't think that that -- edmund : i do n't . what am i not thinking ? mia : that i 'm trying to engineer some sort of a -- edmund : yeah ? mia : when i told liza that i wanted to spend some time with you alone , it was n't because i wanted to -- oh , god , i could strangle her . edmund : i think it was very sweet of her . mia : you do ? edmund : yeah . and i 'm sorry that you 're not , you know , up for the idea . mia : oh , no , edmund . it 's not that i 'm not . edmund : then you are ? mia : you 're messing with my head . edmund : we 're not ready -- as tempting as it sounds . but it 's something to look forward to . liza : ok , we 're off . and hopefully , you guys will have something that you can find to do by yourself . edmund : mm - hmm . mia : yeah . you know , we 're just going to hop on a midnight flight to vegas . yeah . no , not really . no , no . but thank you for taking maddie . that 's great . just give me a little warning next time . liza : sure . edmund : so next time , we can really go to vegas . liza : ok . goodbye . big hugs , big hugs ! edmund : you be good , and i will miss you . mia : have fun . maddie : do n't worry , daddy . liza said she has extra nightgowns and toothbrushes . liza : ok , everybody ready ? mia : ok , have fun . liza : let 's go . mia : bye . bye . liza : no running , no running . mia : so what do we do now ? vegas ? edmund : i got a better idea . simone : oh . hey , boyd . i was just going to actually -- boyd : please . please , go ahead . simone : are you sure ? i 'm just going stir - crazy up in my room . whenever i get this great marketing idea , i have to pace . boyd : and let me guess -- myrtle suggested you come and spread out down here . simone : how did you know ? boyd : i think myrtle is exercising the matchmaking clause in our lease . simone : oh . boyd : yeah . simone : hmm . well -- um -- you go ahead and do whatever it is you 're doing . do n't let me bother you . i 'm going to , you know , do my thing . you know , actually , you could be inspiration to me . yeah , this whole idea that i 've got going on is about sexy guys . not saying that you 're sexy -- boyd : no , of course not . simone : or anything , yeah . no . boyd : well , am i inspiring yet ? simone : actually , this is -- this is for real . i just -- i have to figure out how , but i know that i can sell makeup through men . boyd : are you sure you want to be telling me all this ? i mean , i could steal your idea and tell erica . simone : good point . boyd : uh - huh . simone : oh , yes , you 're right . thank you . i 'll just , you know , put this over here . boyd : yeah . simone : oh . kendall was here ? boyd : yeah . but i do n't think she 'll be coming back . simone : why , you guys have a big fight ? boyd : not exactly . um -- actually , i 've finally decided i ca n't keep waiting on something that 's never going to happen . simone : really ? boyd : yeah , really . michael : well , i 'm right , are n't i ? the temptress is in love . this -- this is good . this was worth getting my face slapped for . i mean , she 's young , she 's innocent , and she got to you . lena : please , michael . the truth is you were right in the first place . i 'm not a temptress and i 'm not a courtesan . i am a whore . all i care about is getting paid , so -- michael : so what is the problem , then ? lena : i told you -- i think there are more effective ways of achieving this target . but you 're right . my job is following orders . michael : you do that very well . come on . look , i agree that there are better ways . you know , if only kendall had done her job . unfortunately , kendall has more morals than most people think . lena : lucky for us , i dispensed with my morals long ago . michael : likewise . but , hey , i mean , you get a lot further when you 're traveling light , do n't we ? now , listen -- do we really have to fight , hmm ? we always seem to agree in the end , do n't we ? come on . come on . make it better . come on . hmm .

david unwillingly tells edmund that maria does n't want to get her memory back . edmund responds that he 's fine with that and he 's going to have to accept it . david is a bit taken aback by edmund 's indifference , but when mia walks over , he realizes that edmund has a new love in his life . maria , aidan , maggie and henry are all out together . maggie surprises henry by having his music tape played in the restaurant . everyone at the restaurant listens closely and enjoys his music . henry is pleasantly surprised to see that his music was appreciated . he gets up the nerve to talk to the dj at the restaurant and asks if he could play there live next week . maria tells aidan that she went to see david . she tells him that whatever comes their way , they 'll face it together .

[ scene_break ] krystal : i know what you 're thinking . tad : because you 're thinking the same thing . krystal : i am not . just because bianca feels like that baby is hers , that does not make it true . tad : i understand that . krystal : tad , did you see the look on babe 's face and j.r.

[ scene_break ] man : ladies and gentlemen , it is an extreme privilege for me to be able to bring to the stage a very close friend and someone whose own road to recovery has overcome amazing leaps and bounds . if i can bring my friend to the stage -- brot monroe . brot : good morning , or should i say `` good afternoon `` now ? you know , it 's a pleasure to be here today , and it 's a great honor for me to be able to share my story with all you guys here this evening . to be amongst so many veterans and so many men and women that have paid such a price for the thing we love to call freedom . i proudly enlisted in the united states army in september of 2002 . no different than every single one of you in this room , you proudly joined your respective branches . you courageously took that oath to wear a uniform and to fight for other people 's freedom . in april 2003 , i was driving a humvee through the city called karbala when my front - left tire ran over a landmine . i was trapped inside the vehicle . i remember thinking to myself , `` my mother , they 're going to hand her a flag . my friends , my family -- is this where my life ends ? `` and thinking to myself , `` i do n't want to lose that . i 've got to get back , and i 've got to hang in . i 've got to fight just a little bit more . fight , that 's all i got to do . i got to hang in there and believe in the guys who are going to come and save me . `` i spent 34 months in a hospital and underwent 32 surgeries which consisted of skin graphs and plastic surgery , and it was painful . and i questioned it all the time , whether i needed to have more and more and more . it was difficult for me to be in a hospital and to have people look at me , to have children run away from me and be afraid of me for what -- like , i felt i was n't a normal person . you know , the thing that i learned in that 34 months of my recovery is that you ca n't push people away . there 's people that love you . there 's people that care about you . there 's people that are willing to embrace you no matter what your appearance may be , no matter what your physical disability may be . they want to love you . they want to help you . they want to take that road with you . people love you , people appreciate you , and there 's one thing that i 've learned . now that you leave the military , leave the same way you came in -- proud and courageous . because there 's not many people that can do what you 've done . there 's not many families that can go through what you guys have gone through . understand that , know that , own it , be proud of it , because you 've done a great service to this country . my story is your story . your story is my story . and i carry it with me every single day , and it motivates me to live my life because veterans motivate me . thank you very much for this opportunity to speak to you , and god bless every single one of you . thank you again . it was a pleasure .

jack : reggie , do me a favor . reggie : no -- jack : can we just drop this , please ? joni : hi , mr. montgomery . what 's up with him ? reggie : learn how to mind your business . how about that ? erica : ah . [ erica gasps ] palmer : oh . erica : oh . palmer . palmer : you did n't even give me a chance to knock . erica : well , no . i was just on my way out . oh , palmer , what are you doing here ? palmer : well , i have come to offer my congratulations , because i understand that you and jackson montgomery are finally going to tie the knot . erica : well , i -- palmer : and i 'm going to walk you down the aisle , because undoubtedly , this is my last chance to give you away . erica : oh , palmer . oh . i 've lost jack . he walked out on me . lena : i 'm sorry . i 'm very serious . bianca : but we talked last night and -- lena : yes , i tried to tell you . bianca : so there was something , just as i thought . lena : no . no , no . bianca : what was it ? i mean , did i do or say something to offend you ? lena : no , you 've done nothing wrong . bianca : you said you were tired . you did n't say you were ditching me . lena : i 'm not ditching you . bianca : well , dumping me , whatever translates . is it because myrtle came with us on our date last night or because i insisted on driving her home ? lena : that was so sweet . bianca : well , did n't you have a good time ? lena : it was a perfect night . bianca : well , what is it , then ? why do n't you want to see me again ? lena : no , it 's not that i do n't want to . it 's -- it 's that i ca n't . bianca : why not ? i mean , are n't i pretty enough or smart enough or sophisticated enough ? lena : bianca , you 're perfect . bianca : just not for you . i guess , as far as you 're concerned , it 's like i have the word `` victim `` tattooed on my forehead , right ? lena : oh , not at all . i do n't want you to be a victim . that 's exactly why i ca n't -- bianca : what ? be with me ? lena : bianca , it 's not your fault . it 's not anything that you 've done . bianca : i understand . i got it . it 's you , right ? it 's your problem . lena : yes . yes , it 's about me . bianca : you 're a coward . greenlee : yeah , how did this get to be my fault ? michael uses you , you try to seduce a good friend , and i 'm the bad guy ? kendall : you can not stand for anyone else to be happy . you want everyone to be just as miserable as you . greenlee : my idea of happiness is n't hopping into the sack with some creep . i have a business i am proud of . i am making something of myself , guy or no guy . you used to want that , too . kendall : i did want it . not your way . i 'm not going to ruin other people 's lives for some stupid little company . greenlee : but you 'd ruin boyd 's future for michael ? michael 's more important than your company ? your friends ? your pride ? kendall : michael and i had a future together . greenlee : no , you had sex . and it must have been good , because every time there was a crisis here you were in that lowlife 's bed . kendall : oh , you see ? that 's what this is about . you can not stand the fact that i have someone in my life , someone who actually loves me , and you do n't . greenlee : oh , please . you know what ? i do n't have to stand here and listen to this garbage . kendall : and you know what ? i 'm not done with you ! adam : michael , i 'm here out of concern . michael : oh , come on , now . you heard that cambias was weak , and so you could n't wait to move in . am i right ? adam : to be taken over by chandler enterprises could be the best thing that ever happened to cambias , considering your father 's illness . michael : well , it 's like i said . that 's over now . besides , i heard you took quite the financial fall because your wife embezzled millions . adam : that was a temporary slide . i 'm at the helm now . the company 's back in top form . michael : good , good . i 'm glad to hear that . i would hate to see a giant like chandler enterprises crumble because you could n't control your wife . adam : liza stepped down voluntarily from chandler . michael : i hear she stepped down from your marriage as well . adam : did n't your father ever teach you not to get personal ? michael : my father taught me a lot of things . adam : well , obviously , not enough . for example , your father never would have botched that deal with enchantment . michael : you know , enchantment is n't the only attractive prospect in town . now , if chandler enterprises were to ever need bailing out , cambias industries would be more than willing to oblige . adam : is that so , huh ? i never thought a cambias would remind me of myself . michael : well , i 'll take that as a compliment . adam : as well you should . michael : well , i guess we 're clear on where we stand ? adam : yes , i think we are . i wish you luck in whatever venture 's keeping you here in pine valley . michael : well , you might not be so gracious if the next company that i target is yours . adam : your father would never have been that foolish . give him my best . michael : i will . erica : i 'm sorry , palmer . palmer : here . erica : thank you . i do n't know what 's gotten into me . just that i 've been through so much and -- i mean , it started with chris . first , he broke our engagement , and he said such devastating things to me , palmer , you would not believe it . palmer : yes , yes , i know . i know , i know , and i 'm sorry about that . but what about jackson ? you said he left ? erica : jackson said that he would love me forever and that he accepts me for who i am and how i am , and then he just walked away . he left . palmer : but i really do n't understand . did n't he buy you a ring ? i just assumed that -- erica : that i would say yes . yes , so did jack . he assumed the same thing . and he pushed and he pushed , even though i told him i was still reeling because of chris . palmer : you mean you said no ? erica : look , i told him that i love him and that i would love him forever and that i want him in my life forever . but he would n't listen . jack said that he just does n't want to be my friend anymore . but i 'm not going to let him get away with that . palmer : well , i do n't see what you can do . erica : well , i can find him and i can assure him that i am not going to give him one moment 's peace until he agrees not to abandon our friendship . so , palmer , i have to go . i have to go right now . palmer : good heavens , erica ! how can you be so heartless ? lena : i 'm not afraid . bianca : well , then , what ? you said you liked me . lena : i do , i do like you , and i really hope that -- bianca : what , that we can still be pals ? you know what ? spare me the speech . i 've heard it before , endlessly , from practically every woman that i have ever been interested in . lena : bianca , you 're a wonderful person . bianca : just not wonderful enough to date . lena : you will find someone . bianca : when ? every time i meet somebody that i think that i share a connection with , that someone changes their mind . `` i 'm sorry , bianca . `` lena : bianca , i -- bianca : what ? you wish you could , but you ca n't . lena : i know it 's not fair . bianca : no , it 's not fair , and i 'm sick of it . i 'm sick of trusting my heart to people who decide that they want something else . lena : it 's not that . i do n't want anything else . bianca : just not me , right ? lena : bianca , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean -- bianca : no , you know what ? save it . i swore to myself that i was n't ever going to ever let this happen again , and i 'm not going to . you 're right about something , lena -- i 'm not going to be a victim . so just spare me the tears and all the regrets because i do n't need them and i do n't need you . liza : alfred , thank you so much . you have totally turned this around for us . thanks again . that was alfred vanderpoole with the bank . tad : he has n't been able to tell you no since high school . big deal . liza : are you jealous ? tad : a little . liza : of alfred ? tad : yeah , you 're flirting with him , not me . liza : you know , you really are impossible . tad : yeah , and you love every second of it . liza : ok , you know what ? we 've got work to do , because alfred told me that the money was wired into gertrude stark 's account from a bank in the cayman islands . tad : did he give you a name or an account number ? liza : no . he said he was going to look into it and he would fax us the information . [ computer beeps , printer prints ] tad : wow . if i did n't know better , i 'd swear that good old alfred was trying to impress you . liza : oh , come on . stop . tad : that ca n't be right . liza : i guess it makes total sense . tad : how ? i mean , why try to crush a little start - up like fusion ? liza : one reason , and the name is kendall hart . tad : kendall ? where are you going ? liza : i have to deal with this . tad : yeah , what about my dinner ? liza : you 'll get your dinner . if you play your cards right , i might even throw in dessert . tad : ok . liza : adam . hi . tad was just helping me with a project . adam : oh , no . no need to explain . i was just surprised to hear your voice since you 're no longer with the company . tad : oh , that 's all right . i mean , all those corporate secrets are still safe . liza : he was just helping me with something for fusion . i guess i should repay you for company time . adam : oh , no , no , no , no , do n't be silly . i 'm glad tad could help . how are things going over there ? liza : rocky . but we 'll turn it around . adam : i have no doubt of it . well , do n't want to interrupt . liza : oh , no . you were n't interrupting . i was done . i was leaving . adam : i 'll be seeing you later when i come to pick up colby for the weekend . liza : yes . she 's looking forward to it . adam : so am i . liza : ok . thanks . thanks . bye . tad : i 'll be out of your way in a couple minutes . adam : no hurry . excuse me . woman : yes , mr. chandler . adam : i have a job for you , and it has to be done quickly . come on . greenlee : let go of me , you psycho slut ! kendall : you think you can just ruin my life and then walk away ? greenlee : oh , please . take responsibility for your own disasters . you ruined your own life the minute you hopped in the sack with michael cambias . kendall : would you stop saying that ? i love him . greenlee : why ? why ? he totally set you up ; made you think playing mata hari with boyd was your idea . kendall : no , michael did not do that . greenlee : you 're a puppet and he 's pulling your strings and you 're too much a moron to see it . michael cambias is a con artist . kendall : fine , you would know , would n't you ? hell , you married one . greenlee : what ? kendall : well , everybody knows that leo was really after you for your inheritance . is that why you have such issues with men , why you think guys are really after money ? greenlee : leo is -- was nothing like michael . kendall : that 's very true . leo wanted your trust fund , but michael 's already rich . so he does n't have to use me or anyone else to get what he wants . greenlee : no , he wants what his money ca n't buy -- boyd 's formula and our company . kendall : what would he want with fusion ? look at us . look at us . we 're tanking . i mean , one little lawsuit and we 're ready to file chapter 11 . greenlee : well , you may be ready , but i 'm not . kendall : open your eyes , greenlee . wake up . we need a major infusion of cash just to keep our doors open . greenlee : oh . oh , really ? so that 's it ? you 're just going to bail ? maybe you can fall back on michael , marry into his millions . kendall : i would love michael even if he had nothing . greenlee : well , that 's all you 're going to get -- nothing . no way cambias will ever marry you now . kendall : yeah , thanks to you , thanks to you ruining my entire life , and for what ? for what ? to keep this stupid little ego trip of yours alive ? well , you know what ? you want to know how much fusion means to me ? this ! this is how much fusion means to me ! greenlee : do you have any idea how long i worked on those figures ? kendall : it 's not like you have anything better to do . greenlee : guess you wo n't be needing michael 's roses , either , will you ? kendall : stop . stop that . stop it ! would you stop that ? stop it ! stop it , now ! just stop it !

i meet somebody and i think that there 's something there , and then they get scared or they 're not really gay or they just disappear . it happened with sarah and frankie and maggie and now with lena . myrtle : darling , just follow your heart . bianca : oh , myrtle . i do n't think i 'm going to trust my heart anymore . myrtle : well , trust mine . i think lena has real feelings for you , darling . bianca : but she left , just like everybody else . myrtle : darling , you know , not every girl knows her feelings and herself as well as you do . bianca : but lena is not a girl . she 's a woman . she knows exactly what she wants , and she goes for it . and i thought that she wanted me . i mean , she flirted with me and she asked me out on a date . we made plans for more dates . now it 's over , just like that . myrtle : did she tell you why she called it off ? bianca : she says that she wishes she could but she ca n't . it 's not a reason . i -- i must have done something to scare her off . myrtle : maybe you did . bianca : well , what ? myrtle : darling , last night , i saw the beginning of something . i could feel the spark between you and lena . bianca : well , that sure fizzled fast . myrtle : maybe it was too hot . maybe -- maybe lena woke up this morning and discovered that she was falling for you . lena : what 's between me and bianca is -- michael : what , private ? what , does she make your heart go pitter - patter ? does she put a little bounce in your step , a sparkle in your eye , lena ? lena : you sound jealous . michael : of you ? please . you 're pathetic , especially when you start believing all the lies you spun for bianca . lena : well , maybe for the first time , i 'm seeing the truth . michael : you know , i love how you take your job so seriously , but this montgomery girl is no love match for you . she 's a means to an end , just like all your other conquests . lena : i will not exploit bianca . michael : you 've done nothing but exploit her . you 've lied to her since the day you met her . do n't forget that . lena : no , now it 's different . michael : why ? because you care about her ? how do you think your little bianca will feel when she finds out that you 're my go - to girl , not to mention my favorite waste of time ? lena : you mean i 'm your whore . michael : and a good one at that . lena : look , michael , it 's over . i do n't care about the money , and i 'm tired of being alone whether you 're in my bed or not . michael : listen ; if you want to go back to where you came from , i can arrange it . lena : you do n't scare me , michael , not anymore . michael : hmm . lena : goodbye . michael : so that 's it ? one little love match for you , and you 're going to throw it all away , years of hard work not to mention a brilliant future ? lena : yes , and spend the rest of my life trying to become someone i 'm not ashamed of . michael : lena ? hey , lena ! erica : liza , are you feeling all right ? liza : yes , i am in perfect health , and i 'm more than ready to fight you . erica : liza , the only battle is in your head . liza : look , this is not a figment of my imagination . everything 's been verified . just take a look at it . there 's a money trail from enchantment to the cayman islands to the plaintiff 's bank account . erica : i have no idea what you 're talking about . and this would be so much trouble . why would i go to this kind of trouble for fusion ? liza : why did you undermine fusion to lacey 's ? why did you send your staffers to the fusion party ? why do you keep tabs on everything fusion does ? erica : that is just good business . liza : oh , are we a threat that you want eliminated ? erica : all i have to do for fusion to fail is wait . liza : why do n't you explain to me the money transfers ? erica : i ca n't . i have no idea what this is about . but there certainly must be a logical explanation . liza : find out . erica : yes , this is erica . put me through to lena . where is she ? all right , page her and tell her to get back to me . it 's urgent . she should get back to me asap . look , liza , if there is a snake at enchantment , nobody wants to find this snake more than i do . liza : what if you do n't find one ? erica : oh , i am going to get to the bottom of this . liza : well , you know , to me , i feel like i already have because legally , it looks like you 're in a world of trouble . fusion 's attorneys will be in contact with you . [ phone rings ] woman : jackson montgomery 's office . erica : ok , jack . you know me so well , then you must know what i need . [ knock on door ] erica : oh , boyd . boyd : erica , hi . i hope it 's not a bad time , but i really need to talk to you . erica : yeah -- no , please . come in . boyd : thanks . erica : boyd , do you know where lena is ? boyd : lena ? why ? what 's wrong ? erica : i need to talk to her . liza colby was just here , and she has accused me of bankrolling that lawsuit against fusion . boyd : you ? why ? erica : i do n't know . she says that she has proof that the plaintiff was paid off by enchantment . boyd : it was lena , was n't it ? i mean , she did this . erica : excuse me ? boyd : i knew it . kendall : greenlee , fusion is not a disaster . greenlee : it might have had a chance if i was n't working with a bunch of amateurs . kendall : amateurs ? hello ! you need me on this team . greenlee : oh , wrong . you 're a liability . you 're so caught up in the drama of being kendall ; you do n't have time in your schedule for fusion . kendall : no , i am totally committed to this company . greenlee : oh , yeah , when the meetings do n't interfere with your mattress thrashing . kendall : that is not true , greenlee . listen , we started this company out of nothing more than an idea . greenlee : mine ! kendall : yeah , and we 're about to break out into the world -- simone : oh , my gosh ! you guys , excuse me ! what happened here ? what is going on ? kendall : we had a fight . simone : again ? mia : about what ? greenlee : kendall was just leaving . kendall : i 'm not going anywhere . greenlee : she quit . mia : again ? kendall : no , i 'm back . i 'm back . greenlee : no , you 're not . kendall : look , i did quit . i did quit , but palmer said that he would cancel our lease unless i make nice with my little partner . mia : so , what are you waiting for , girls ? kiss and make up . we have a company to run . simone : yes . greenlee : i have the experience and the connections , and i can get the backing i need to start over -- on my own . simone : you do n't mean that , greenlee . kendall : she thinks she does . greenlee : i do . trust me . mia : you 'd just walk away from the company ? from us ? greenlee : i should have gotten out a long time ago . kendall : you are so transparent . all this crap about business . this is n't about business or failure . this is about you working with us . greenlee : you got that right . i do n't need the baggage . kendall : ok , you know what ? i get that you do n't play well with other people , greenlee . i get that . but maybe it 's time you grew up and accepted being a part of something , being with people who actually care about you . greenlee : i 've had enough of your caring to last me a lifetime . kendall : ok , you know what ? say what you want to , but now is not the time for you to be alone . greenlee : i 've been alone my whole life . kendall : not true . greenlee : that was different . this is -- it just wo n't work . we know each other too well . mia : and that 's a bad thing ? greenlee : yes . i do n't want to know that simone is desperate for a man -- simone : hey , i am not desperate . greenlee : or that kendall would risk our future for a romp in the hay - mia : oh , you would ? kendall : ok , you know what ? we 're not talking about me . greenlee : or that mia 's fiancé had sex in the storeroom and then dumped her . i just want to focus on work . simone : yeah , and you know what ? we do work , all right ? and it is paying off . mia : you know , simone 's right . she 's so right . we 're going to be on the cover of `` tempo . `` we 're going to be coast to coast . greenlee : we 've been lucky . we do n't have meetings , we bicker . we spend more time pushing each other 's buttons than we do selling product . i do n't need to take care of your problems , ok ? i have enough of my own . kendall : and we 've helped you , have n't we ? mia : yeah . kendall : come on , greenlee . all those nights that you ended up staying late and sharing takeout with us -- you did that so you would n't have to go home alone . greenlee : well , thanks for the warm fuzzies , but you proved my point . we 're too close . simone : so you 're dumping us because we care about you ? greenlee : i work better alone , all right ? mia : wait a minute . we are as committed to this company as you are . simone : 110 % , greenlee . kendall : i admit , i 've been extremely distracted lately , but i 'm in it for the long haul . mia : we all are , ok ? you can not bail on us now . greenlee : it 's over , ok ? we tried , we do n't get along , and now we 're being sued for millions of dollars that we do n't even have . liza : maybe not . erica : boyd , what do you know about lena ? what are you talking about ? boyd : it 's nothing . never mind , really . erica : well , do you think that she is the one who wired the money ? boyd : look , erica , i 'm sorry . this was none of my business . i should n't have said anything . erica : boyd , believe me , you are one of my most trusted , one of my most valued employees . whatever we say really will stay just between us . so if there is something -- boyd : it 's -- it 's really -- it 's just a feeling . erica : you do n't trust her ? boyd : no . i do n't . at least , not one on one . erica : do you think that she 's capable of embezzlement ? boyd : i really do n't know about that . but if lena told me it was sunny out , i 'd pack an umbrella . erica : she lied to you about something ? boyd : let 's just say she has n't be completely upfront about certain things . erica : things like her sexual orientation ? boyd : you mean , you know about that ? erica : well , i 'm certainly aware that my daughter was interested in lena . boyd : was interested ? erica , i saw bianca out with lena last night , and believe me , i 've never seen bianca look happier . bianca : lena is falling for me ? she 's running from me is more like it . myrtle : darling , people often run from what scares them . bianca : so i am scaring her off . myrtle : well , not everyone has your courage , darling . look , your feelings are -- oh -- open to everyone . and you know , you 're not afraid to show them to other people . bianca : right , and that makes me what ? needy and desperate . myrtle : no , it makes you brave enough to take chances . bianca : and look where it 's always landed me , myrtle . you know something -- mom always runs away from relationships because she 's too afraid to take a chance , and she always ends up hurt and alone and miserable . and so i swore to myself that i was n't going to do that . i would do just the opposite , i would take those chances . and here i am , just as unhappy and just as alone . myrtle : darling , you lead with your heart . now , when you do that , you ca n't always avoid heartache . bianca : yeah , but maybe mom has the right idea . maybe it 's better to run off before you get left behind . myrtle : i do n't think lena wants to leave you . bianca : well , she sure seemed pretty final to me . myrtle : well , do n't be too sure about that . look , last night , she came very close to you , and then she pulled away and she came back , and then she ran away . does that remind you of anyone ? your mother ? bianca : what -- myrtle , are you saying that i care for lena because she 's like mom , that -- myrtle : no , no , no . what i 'm saying is that knowing your mother the way you do should help you to understand lena . bianca : i understand that it 's over . myrtle : well , i 'm not sure about that . i -- i saw how she opened up to you last night . now , i -- i do n't know what 's between you both , but it 's not over just because she ran away . bianca : oh , myrtle . you 're such a romantic . myrtle : i know . i know i am . hopeless . so do something for me -- give lena another chance . bianca : hmm . and get my heart broken all over again ? no , myrtle , i do n't think so . myrtle : bianca -- bianca : no , listen ; if lena wants me , she knows where she can find me . val : excuse me . i 'm sorry to interrupt you , bianca , but i thought you 'd want to know . bianca : what 's up ? val : lena resigned today , by email , and she 's on her way back to europe . bianca : she 's leaving ? val : she 's got a flight today . myrtle : so ? what are you waiting for ? go to the airport and stop lena before it 's too late . lena : i need to buy a ticket . woman : what 's your destination ? lena : prague . next available flight , please . woman : would you like to book your return ? lena : uh -- no . woman : are you all right ? lena : yes , yes , i 'm fine . greenlee : re not being sued ? simone : you convinced gertrude stark to settle ? liza : i did better than that . we got the goods on her . kendall : oh , well , what 's to know ? i mean , she 's some old crone with zero scruples . greenlee : what have you got on her ? simone : and how did you get it ? liza : we used tad 's p.i . skills , and we discovered that she was almost broke -- before she filed the lawsuit . greenlee : suing us was her get - rich - quick scheme ? liza : actually , she 's already rich . the day she filed the lawsuit , a whole lot of money was deposited into her bank account . simone : oh . mia : i do n't get it . kendall : oh , wait , hold on a minute . somebody paid her to sue us ? liza : that 's right . greenlee : did you track the deposit ? liza : to the cayman islands . whoever wired the money was very careful not to be caught . simone : aha . so who 's the sleaze ? liza : enchantment . greenlee : what ? mia : no way ! simone : i do n't believe this . kendall : erica . simone : erica 's behind this ? mia : why would she come after us ? kendall : no , she 's not after us , she 's after me . this is all my fault -- this whole mess . erica : well , bianca 's an adult . i 'm sure she knows what she 's doing . boyd : i hope you 're right , but lena definitely bears watching . just please do n't tell bianca i said that . erica : oh , no , i wo n't . boyd : thanks . erica : ok , then , boyd , if there is nothing else , then i really do believe i should call legal right away about this . boyd : actually , there is one other thing . something happened last night i think you should know about . erica : oh , really ? what ? what happened ? boyd : it involves kendall . erica : all right , boyd . it 's all right . tell me . what ? what happened ? boyd : she stopped by my place last night , and she wanted to -- i mean , she tried to -- erica : what ? boyd , what did she try to do ? boyd : she was after my anti - aging formula . erica : aha . we talked about this possibility , did n't we ? oh , boy , is this crazy . i mean , here fusion is accusing me of playing dirty tricks , and all the while , kendall 's trying to steal your formula . boyd : she did n't do it for her . erica : well , what do you mean ? boyd : she did it for michael , erica . erica : you know this for a fact ? boyd : i know kendall . she 's not capable of -- erica : did she try to seduce you ? boyd : she was about to , but she could n't go through with it . erica : so michael cambias convinced kendall to prostitute herself to try to steal the formula . wow , that is so low . i mean , how could -- how could kendall go through with it ? kendall : erica , it 's not her fault . i mean , he 's using her to get to me . erica : oh , i know . i know that . i 've thought that for a very , very long time . in fact , i tried to warn kendall about this , but she would n't believe me . ok , actually , your timing is perfect because this is all falling into place now . this phony lawsuit against fusion , kendall trying to seduce you to try to steal the formula , michael cambias putting this bear hug on enchantment . boyd : you think they 're all connected ? erica : of course they 're connected . absolutely they 're connected . this is all part of his endgame . boyd : which is what ? erica : which is to try to make you and everyone else believe that i 'm trying to crush kendall 's company . boyd : but , erica , why ? i mean , what good does that do him ? erica : because he is so sure that you will go right away to her side and to help her because he knows that you would do anything for her . boyd : like give her my formula to bail out fusion . erica : exactly . boyd : but -- wait a second . i mean , he knows that i already turned her down . he must have realized i 'm not going to give it up , even for kendall . erica : and that 's going to make him more desperate . boyd : yeah , and dangerous . erica : but i 'm ready for michael . because he 's covered every possible base except one . [ phone rings ] lena 's voice : i 'm not available at the moment . please leave a message , and i will return your call as soon as possible . michael : lena , it 's me . i hope you 've come to your senses . i need what we came here for . we 're so close , lena . do n't give up on me now . call me as soon as you get this . and do n't make me come looking for you . michael : it 's cambias . i 've got a job for you . it 's lena . i want the name and address of every one of her relatives and anyone she 's ever known or cared about . well , that 's why you get paid the big bucks . now , there 's a bonus in it for you if you get it to me yesterday . lena : bianca ?

you are not responsible for whatever warped trip your mother is on . greenlee : yes , she is . kendall busts erica 's chops every chance she gets . this is erica 's payback . she 's taking it out on our company . mia : our company ? wait a minute , i 'm confused here . i thought you were out of here . greenlee : i built fusion . mia : oh , with a little help . greenlee : and there 's no way i 'm going to let erica bury us . simone : ah . so you 're staying ? greenlee : hell yes . simone : and what about you ? greenlee : she 's going . mia : wait a minute ! greenlee : kendall 's a magnet for the kind of trouble we do n't need . simone : that is so unfair . kendall : no , you know what ? greenlee 's right . erica is not after you guys , she 's after me . greenlee : i 'll help you clear your stuff -- what 's left of it . simone : you ca n't just leave , kendall . i mean , what about palmer ? kendall : i 'll convince palmer to lease the building to fusion . simone : i do n't care about this building . i care about fusion . i care about you . mia : we need you . kendall : no , you guys do n't need this . you do n't . erica is after me , and there 's no stopping her . simone : well , we can at least try . kendall : first , it was shelf space at lacey 's . now it 's a multimillion - dollar lawsuit . i mean , what 's next ? erica -- she 's out to get me , and i 'm not going to let her bring fusion down with me . greenlee : good idea . liza : fusion 's not going anywhere , and neither is kendall . look , i 've made some calls . i 've put some things into action . we can fight erica . we can win this . kendall : it 'll be easier without me . liza : are you going to run away ? kendall : liza , i 'm not running away . liza : because that 's what erica wants you to do . simone : yeah , how can you bail right now , when we actually have a chance to kick some major kane booty ? kendall : well , when you put it like that -- liza : when erica came after you , she came after all of us . it is going to take all of us to beat her . mia : yes . come on , kendall , you 're , like , an expert on erica 's down - and - dirty tactics . kendall : i do have the scars to prove it . simone : is that a yes ? kendall : all right . ok . i 'm in . greenlee , what do you say ? boyd : so , are you saying cambias miscalculated ? erica : an oversight . and i intend to take full advantage of it . boyd : well , i like the sound of that . so , what 's the plan ? erica : all right , boyd . it is common knowledge that you have been developing this anti - aging serum that 's going to revolutionize the cosmetics industry . boyd : right , and launch enchantment 's profits into the stratosphere . erica : exactly . and i want you to write down that formula now , boyd , and we 're going to apply immediately for a patent . boyd : i 'll write it down , but , erica , the patent process takes time . and that will make us totally vulnerable to cambias . erica : not necessarily . boyd : erica , he tried to steal the formula out of my head . if it 's on paper , he 's going to be even more ruthless . erica : and we 'll be ready for him . lena : how did you know ? bianca : val told me . are you leaving because of me ? lena : yes . bianca : i do n't understand . lena : i know . bianca : that 's it ? lena : i know it 's not enough . bianca : no , it 's not enough . lena , i know that i have n't known you for that long , but we had something . i felt it . and i know you did , too . and then now it 's just over ? no explanation whatsoever ? lena : i told you -- bianca : yeah , i know you told me , it 's you . lena : bianca , you 're a very beautiful woman , and you are worthy of something better . bianca : you know what ? stay . let me figure that out . lena : look , the decision has been made for us . bianca : well -- lena : it 's for the best . bianca : what are n't you telling me ? lena : do n't ask me that , bianca . bianca : you do n't want to be with me . i respect that . i mean , i 'm hurt , but i 'll deal . but you do n't have to leave . i mean , there 's something else going on here , is n't there ? lena , if you care about me at all -- as a friend , as anything -- just please level with me . lena : if i did , if i leveled with you , then what ? bianca : well , then i would know the reason -- the real reason . and then maybe i could start to understand . lena : just -- please , just understand that i care for you and that what i 'm doing is for you . bianca : did my mother get to you ? lena : erica ? no . bianca : you do n't have to protect her or anything . she 's done this before . she paid one of my friends to leave town . lena : erica had nothing to do with this . bianca : are you sure ? she thinks that you 're too old for me . lena : she loves you very much , and you 're very lucky . bianca : i do n't feel lucky . i mean , you were just going to slip out of town , out of my life unnoticed . and now i 'm here , and i 'm making a scene , and i 'm -- i 'm sorry , but i want you to be here with me . lena : i 'm sorry , but i know you 'll find someone who 's worthy of your heart . bianca : i did . and you 're leaving . just tell me that you do n't have feelings for me . tell me that you do n't want to be with me . lena : it 's just something i have to do . bianca : but you do n't want this any more than i do , lena . look , whatever reasons that you think you have for leaving me do n't matter . do n't you see ?

liza accuses erica of conspiring against fusion , but erica insists that she had nothing to do with it . liza goes back to fusion and tells the girls about what 's going on . kendall and greenlee decide to put away their differences for the sake of saving fusion . boyd goes to see erica . she tells him about the accusation against enchantment , and he admits that he had always been suspicious of lena . erica is surprised that he would suggest such a thing and wonders if lena is capable of embezzlement . boyd lets her know that lena and bianca really hit it off , and that lena may be gay . erica realizes that bianca was upset in the morning because of lena . boyd also lets erica know that kendall tried to seduce him in order to get her hands on his anti - aging formula . he says that michael put her up to it , and that he 's just using kendall . erica realizes that michael is trying to make it look as if she is after fusion . she tells boyd to go ahead and write his formula down . she says she 's sure michael will come after it , and they 'll be ready when he does . meanwhile , michael threatens to turn lena in if she does n't continue with their plan . lena refuses to exploit bianca and tells michael she 's not afraid of him . she leaves for the airport and buys a ticket back to prague . michael calls his assistant / hit - man and asks him to track down all of lena 's relatives . boyd goes over to see michael . myrtle comforts bianca , and tells her that lena may have been scared off after realizing she really does have feelings for bianca . erica 's secretary informs bianca and myrtle that lena e - mailed her resignation and is leaving for europe . after a few words of encouragement from myrtle , bianca goes after lena . she catches up with lena just when she is in line for boarding the plane . she begs lena not to leave and to give their relationship a chance . lena insists that her leaving is better for both of them . just when bianca thinks it 's over and turns to leave , lena goes over and kisses her . while erica is trying to figure out what her next step is , jackson comes over . erica is thankful that he came back to her , however jackson is not smiling . he tells her that she has been accused of conspiring against fusion , and that she wo n't get away with it .

bianca 's date does n't go well because her date louse thinks that bianca has feelings for marissa so she leaves and bianca decides to go home so jr and marissa can go to the concert alone . colby wonders if she is a snob because she had n't noticed that maya has been working as a maid in her house for two weeks . maya encourages colby to keep posting her vlog because she thinks it has helped many people including her . jr and caleb argue when caleb brings cortlandt equipment for colby to use to do her vlog and caleb tells jr that he intends to support colby and he does n't care what he thinks about it .

[ greenlee and kendall laugh ] greenlee and kendall : cheers ! kendall : drink up . greenlee : so -- mmm . kendall : mmm . greenlee : mmm . who do you think she is ? kendall : who do i think who is ? greenlee : the woman michael 's sleeping with . kendall : ok , if this is your way of -- of cheering me up -- greenlee : no -- come on , come on , come on . come on , i 've been to therapy . it 's good to talk about these things . kendall : ugh . greenlee : pretend i 'm in a hammock . kendall : what ? whatever . you know what ? look , i even told you -- i told you that he would n't even admit that he was sleeping with somebody . he would n't . and i heard him on the phone with her . greenlee : do you think it 's someone we know ? kendall : someone we know ? greenlee : mm - hmm . kendall : no . no . you know what ? it does n't even matter . the fact is he was sleeping with somebody else . that 's all i need to know . greenlee : oh . kendall , kendall , kendall . kendall : oh , do n't even start with me . greenlee : a man like michael -- what spoon he uses to stir his coffee with is just as important to him as the knife he stabs in your back . kendall : yeah , well , i -- i did n't even see the knife coming , so -- greenlee : no , no , no -- my point is that michael chose you for a reason . kendall : mm - hmm . greenlee : and it was n't your quick wit . kendall : go to hell . twice . greenlee : no . you 're -- and i hate to admit this -- but you 're a woman with major connections in this town . and if boyd is right and michael is behind this bogus lawsuit , then there 's a reason he chose this other woman , too , whoever the hell she is . lena : you startled me . boyd : i 'm sorry . you thought you were alone ? lena : yes , i did , but i 'm always happy to see you . you know that . boyd : so , what are you doing here ? lena : oh , i 'm just doing a job for erica . how about you ? you usually keep such long hours at the lab ? boyd : it happens every now and then . lena : still working on your breakthrough formula ? boyd , is something the matter ? boyd : i do n't know . is there ? lena : are you -- are you upset that i 'm seeing bianca ? boyd : well , i did n't know it was official , but no . you made your feelings clear about the both of us . whatever you -- whatever choice you made , well , it 's up to you . lena : thank you for being so understanding . i know bianca considers you to be a close friend . boyd : yeah , well , my only concern has always been that bianca not get caught in the middle . lena : but those are my concerns . boyd : good . so you left her tonight to come here for -- for work ? lena : oh , yes . there was just something that could n't wait . boyd : oh , right , like the lawsuit against fusion ? lena : you know about that ? boyd : erica told me . lena : well , it seems quite serious . it looks like the d.a . 's office is looking to investigate enchantment . boyd : yeah , i heard . but erica assures me she had nothing to do with it , and , well , i believe her . lena : and so do i . which means that someone from inside enchantment has been misusing company funds . and as c.f.o . , it 's my job to find out who . boyd : would n't you also like to know why ? chris : thank you . i was going to say hello . erica : well , what stopped you ? chris : um -- you were on the phone . erica : how are you ? chris : doing all right . erica : good . chris : you ? erica ? erica : well , not that i would expect you to particularly care , but i am going through rather a difficult time . chris : oh , yeah , i heard something about a connection between enchantment and a lawsuit against fusion . erica : yes , yes . that and -- jackson and i had a terrible falling - out . chris : oh . and -- erica : i know you blame him for everything that happened between us . chris : yeah , well -- no , no , no -- not entirely , erica , no . i mean , but looking to -- to point -- someone to finger at right now does n't make any sense , does it ? erica : no , of course not . i absolutely agree . chris : yeah , well , i 'm sure whatever falling - out you two had , you 'll patch it up . erica : no . no , not this time . this was different . you see , jackson asked me to marry him and i turned him down . chris : you turned him down ? erica : yes . and -- well , he just -- he does n't want to listen to the reasons why . i think he just wants to make me feel responsible for his heartache . chris : you know , i 'm -- i 'm surprised you said no . erica : of course i would say no . i mean , it was n't very long ago that -- that you and i were -- chris : yeah . i remember . so -- so what happened when you turned him down ? erica : well , he was very angry and he was very hurt , and so he lashed out , and he said that if he could n't have me the way he wanted to have me , then i could n't have him at all . and no matter what we 've been to each other , he just severed all ties . chris : why -- why are you telling me all this , erica ? because i -- erica : i -- chris : i do n't know what makes you think that i really care about what goes on between you and jackson . erica : i told you , i know that you do n't care . i told you that . i began by saying that . i just guess that i -- i feel very comfortable talking to you . i -- i really feel comfortable confiding in you . i 'm sorry . i do n't have the right to do that anymore . i 'm sorry . chris : yeah . look , do n't -- do n't -- do n't go beating yourself up about it . erica : all right , i wo n't . enjoy your drink . chris : yeah . he 'll come around . trust me . erica : no . no , i 've lost him . i 've lost everyone . lena : well , it seems that the lawsuit was designed to undermine erica and her company . boyd : well , it 's inventive , that 's for sure . lena : who do you think is behind it ? boyd : i do n't know . i only know who erica suspects . lena : who 's that ? boyd : michael cambias . lena : oh . well , he did make a move on enchantment . boyd : and failed . lena : well , that does n't make sense , though . the lawsuit is against fusion . is n't that his girlfriend 's company ? boyd : do you really think a small detail like that matters to a man like cambias ? i mean , let 's face it , he 's tried to pit erica and kendall against each other since he got to pine valley . lena : be fair , boyd . it 's not as though erica and kendall need cambias for that . boyd : look , do n't kid yourself , lena . cambias has done more than his share to stir the waters , believe me . lena : he 's also managed to create a wedge between you and kendall , yes ? boyd : look , i know where you 're going with this , but this has nothing to do with me and kendall . lena : boyd , it 's obvious you still have feelings for her . i can tell just by the way you talk about her . it 's how i knew i never stood a chance with you . boyd : you know what ? i also care about erica and this company , both of whom have been very good to me . lena : and kendall has n't ? boyd : lena , i just want to find who 's responsible for this , make sure they 're punished , that 's it . lena : well , as soon as i find out who 's behind this money transfer , we 'll know if cambias is to blame or not . boyd : good . you do n't mind if stick around , do you ? see what you find out ? lena : no , no , not at all . chris : i just want to say , you 're not as alone as you think you are . erica : thank you . chris : and -- and for what it 's worth , i sometimes find myself picking up a phone because i want to -- want to call you . erica : well , that 'll pass , i 'm sure , in time . chris : yeah . and i 'm sorry that things have n't worked out for you and jackson . erica : oh -- you are such a bad liar . chris : what ? erica : you did n't want anything good to happen between jackson and me . who are you trying to kid ? chris : that 's true , but i 'm just trying to be polite . erica : anyway , that 's probably for the best . because what jackson and i had -- it was very , very hard to even define . you know that . chris : yes , i do . erica : and it really interfered with a lot of situations unnecessarily . chris : like ours ? erica : yeah . but who knows ? i mean , i also ca n't imagine my life without jack in it . and i know that 's not what you want to hear . chris : erica , all right , it does n't matter what your answer is right now . i mean , it 's over between us . erica : i am so truly sorry . chris : yeah . so am i , sweetheart . so am i . what ? erica : i just miss hearing you call me that . [ erica sighs ] erica : listen , you have to promise me something . please , that you be happy . chris : i was happy . erica : i was too . i was -- we were very happy there for a little while , were n't we ? chris : a long while . chris : ok . erica : yeah . well , it was good seeing you . chris : you were always easy on my eyes . erica : listen , i hope that -- i mean , maybe it 's too much to hope and maybe too much to ask for , but i really hope that sometime , sometime in the future , that -- that we can be friends again . chris : so do i . erica : night . maggie : why wo n't you consider playing ? henry : well , in case you forgot , i do n't exactly perform well under pressure . maggie : ok , playing guitar is not the same as taking an o - chem test . this is your chance to show everybody how unbelievably talented you are . henry : come on , do n't look at me like that . maggie : ok . it 's your decision . you know ? i wo n't say anything about it . henry : you 're going to be disappointed in me if i say no , are n't you ? maggie : ok , a , that 's impossible . and , b , i just do n't want you to be disappointed in yourself , that 's all . henry : ok , fine , i 'll do it . maggie : really ? henry : yeah , for you . dan : yes . jack : i understand what you 're saying , anna , i do . but i 've spent most of my adult life pursuing erica , trying to convince her that she needs me . [ jack laughs ] anna : well , what do you need ? have you asked yourself that ? jack : sure , i have . you bet i have . i -- i thought i needed her , too , you know ? but maybe what i needed , actually , was a challenge or maybe i 'm just a masochist . anna : you do n't honestly believe that 's what 's kept you around all these years , do you ? jack : no . anna : no . see ? jack : no , i do n't . because when we were together , it was just -- anna : amazing . jack : yeah , it was amazing . it was amazing . but it was also amazingly painful . anna : maybe the reason it 's so difficult to love someone completely is because it 's so rare . maybe that 's why we struggle , and we give them chance after chance . i mean , what 's the alternative ? a life of misery and scotch ? jack : hey , do n't knock the scotch . anna : i know . single malt ? never . jack : you know , for a long time , i thought it was me . i thought i just was n't enough for her , but lately i 've realized that 's not it . it 's just that she -- for some reason , she just ca n't allow herself to do it . you know , she just ca n't allow herself to give herself to me , so i 've decided to find somebody , you know , who can . i mean , i -- i want somebody in my life . i want somebody to love , so i 'm going to go out and find that person . anna : good . good luck . jack : hmm . thank you . anna : and i envy her , whoever she is . she 's a lucky lady . i mean that . jack : well , are n't you so kind to say so ? anna : i ca n't drink any more of this . it makes me sick . jack : do n't , do n't . david : hey . anna : you made it . david : of course i made it . anna : yes . hmm . david : what , you doubted me ? anna : no , never . never . erica : lena . i thought that was you . lena : erica . erica : i saw the light on from outside . are you working on the project ? lena : yes , but i 'm having very little luck in working out exactly how enchantment money ended up funding the lawsuit against fusion . erica : well , as you said , you would know more when the banks open . believe me , i have full confidence in your abilities . lena : thank you . erica : boyd , i 'm so glad that you 're here . boyd : i was just here to give lena any support she may need . erica : well , that 's wonderful . that 's wonderful . but now that you are here , may i have a word with you , please ? boyd : oh , absolutely . erica : privately , if you do n't mind ? boyd : oh , sure . erica : excuse us , lena . erica : boyd , i know why lena is here , but why are you here -- really ? boyd : i wanted to see what she would come up with . erica : you think that she is still somehow involved ? boyd : it 's just a feeling . i ca n't explain it . erica : has she ever asked you about the formula ? boyd : lena ? nothing specific or out of place , no . erica : well , i found her with bianca earlier . boyd : you did ? erica : yes , i did . they were actually in lena 's hotel room , so i know that they 're together now . boyd : and you 're worried ? erica : i want bianca to be careful . i mean , bianca is so open . boyd : right , and lena 's not . i 've already tried to warn bianca about that . erica : you have ? boyd : yeah . erica : what did she say ? boyd : well , you want the polite version ? mind my own business . erica : uh - huh . yes , well , that 's just about what she said to me , too . boyd , i swear , if that woman hurts bianca or this company , i will kill her . i will kill her with my own bare hands . so , lena , have you made any progress ? lena : yes . erica : well , what -- what did you find ? lena : erica , i 'm afraid everything that 's happened between fusion and enchantment is all my fault . greenlee : wait a minute . whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! girlfriend , where are you going , and why are you so happy ? maggie : me ? kendall : yes . you have a disgustingly sick grin on your face . greenlee : would n't have anything to do with that guy you came in here with , would it ? maggie : maybe just a little . kendall : oh , i knew it ! i knew it . greenlee : no , i knew it . i told you . maggie : henry is playing with the band tonight . greenlee : his name is henry ? maggie : yes . and can you please be really supportive ? because he 's so nervous , ok ? greenlee : even if he stinks ? maggie : especially if he stinks . and he wo n't because he 's really , really good . greenlee : oh ! cute and talented -- not bad . kendall : oh , you guys are so cute together . really , you are . either that or this drink is making me sick . maggie : thank you . greenlee : so , is it love ? maggie : what ? kendall : come on , you can tell us . greenlee : yeah , we wo n't tell him . kendall : scout 's honor . scout 's honor . maggie : ok . just a little . yes . greenlee : yes ! all right ! kendall : to love , while it lasts . before it makes you bitter and miserable -- greenlee : like kendall . kendall : like greenlee . maggie : how many of these have you guys had exactly ? kendall : well , this is the first with the umbrellas . greenlee : we had martinis . kendall : and margaritas . we highly recommend the one with the salt . yummy ! anna : this is so fun is n't it ? david : what 's that ? anna : being out , with people . david : yeah . i kind of forgot that there was a whole other world out there apart from diapers and feedings and lullabies . anna : me , too . i 'm so happy that you 've given us this night to focus on each other . i really appreciate it . david : yeah , that 's great , but i want to be able to see the phone , ok , just in case -- anna : please , david , you do n't need to see it . you 'll hear it if it rings . david : over the band ? anna : the band 's not playing right now . come on , just can we have a couple of hours to ourselves , just for us ? david : oh , anna . leora is a part of us , all right ? anna : i know that . but there 's more to us than just being her parents . david : i know . i know that . anna : do you ? because i feel like i have n't had your full attention for weeks now and i need to reconnect with you . i really need it . david : you always have that . you know it . anna : do i ? david : yes . anna : maybe a little reminder every now and again would be nice . david : look , i 'm sorry , all right ? just because we 're here does n't mean that i 'm going to stop worrying about leora . anna : she 's fine . she is . she 's with the nurse . and if anything should happen -- which it wo n't -- she knows where to reach us . please , be here with me . hello ? me . us . david : you 're right . ok , we can . anna : good . david : you look gorgeous . you know what i want to do ? anna : tell me . david : i think i 'd rather show you . henry : look , i do n't really mean to blow this gig for you guys , but i 've never played in front of a crowd before . man : do n't worry about it . now , dan played us your tape . you 've got it . just follow our lead and trust the music . can you do that ? henry : yeah , that 's -- i mean , i think i can . man : well , good . that 's all the assurance we need . oh , and one last bit of advice -- if you 're going to hurl , avoid the stage . new shoes . dan : good evening , ladies and gentlemen . welcome to s.o.s . ! yeah ! the gamblin ' guthries are here . they 're going to sing , they 're going to play , make you forget all your troubles -- at least for a few hours . so let 's give a slamming welcome to the gamblin ' guthries .

[ applause ] lena : look -- someone 's managed to access our network and move funds from our account into the plaintiff 's account . boyd : but that 's a pretty obvious money trail , is n't it ? erica : do you know who 's responsible ? lena : well , luckily , as boyd says , this man was n't very good at covering his tracks . his name is barton phillips . erica : well , who is that ? lena : he 's a consultant from an outside accounting firm . i had to let him go about a month ago . i 'm afraid he did n't take it very well . boyd : so this barton phillips , he 's behind this whole lawsuit ? lena : it looks like it . boyd : and he set all this up because he was fired ? erica : well , actually , boyd , i have seen this kind of thing in the past . i mean , not this extreme , of course , but it happens . lena : look , erica , i was the one who fired him . this is my fault . erica : no , really , lena , do n't -- do n't do that . do n't blame yourself , please . listen , can you download this and give me a printout ? i 'd like to take it to the district attorney 's office and show it to them in the morning . lena : certainly . i can do it straightaway . erica : wonderful . then maybe jackson will drop the ridiculous charges against me for somehow being involved with this bogus lawsuit and go after the man who is really responsible . michael : we need to talk -- now . greenlee : go , henry ! kendall : whoo ! man : you got yourself one hell of a fan club , kid . that 's henry chin on the guitar tonight , folks , as if you could n't tell .

everyone seems to be at sos tonight . kendall and greenlee are having a great time , drinking their sorrows away . jackson is drinking alone and is approached by anna . she encourages him not to give up on erica . flanders is quietly nursing a drink , keeping his eye on jackson . later , jackson tells kendall that trey has been moved to a minimum security prison . he also tells kendall that he and erica are not engaged . david comes in and anna is glad to see he finally agreed to a night out . henry is asked by the mc to fill - in for a missing blues guitarist that was supposed to play with the band that night . henry hesitates at first , but maggie encourages him to take the opportunity and show his talent to the world . he finally gets up on stage and is amazing . everyone there enjoys his music . henry and maggie celebrate his success by going back to maggie 's place . after calling the babysitter , david finds out that leora has a fever and rushes out with anna . erica sees chris at the bar and says hello . she lets him know that she had a falling out with jackson when she turned down his proposal . although chris is glad to hear it , he politely offers erica his sympathy . they both agree that although they were very happy for a while , things are now over between them . erica kisses chris good - bye and goes back to enchantment . chris tries to call flanders , hoping that he wo n't make any stupid moves . at enchantment , boyd catches lena working on erica 's computer . lena informs him that she was asked by erica to find out who paid for fusion 's lawsuit . erica comes in and tells lena she has full confidence that she will get to the bottom of things . she talks to boyd alone , telling him that she 's a little suspicious of lena . she says that if lena ever hurts bianca , she will kill her with her own hands . meanwhile , lena sneaks a cd into erica 's computer and seems to be covering her tracks . she later tells erica that she has tracked down the paper trail . she says she had recently fired an accountant named barton phillips . he did n't take the firing too well , and it seems that he 's the one behind the whole conspiracy . erica asks for her to print out the details so she can later show it to jackson . lena later goes to see michael . she is seen going into michael 's apartment by kendall . jackson is the last one to leave sos . just as he comes out , he gets shot and falls to the ground bleeding .

[ scene_break ] greg : erica 's upset at her daughter . she 's lost control of kendall , so she 's acting out . she 's just hitting at anybody in the vicinity . josh : not anyone , dad , you ! you know why erica brought me in here , do n't you ? i 'd rather hear it from you than her . greg : i have no idea . josh : fine . you and erica continue on your little dance . leave me out of it . [ scene_break ] ryan : she was on a private island . madden 's private island , where he does n't let anybody in or out without his permission . erica : she was a prisoner ? ryan : well , apparently , she did n't think so . erica , she could have given birth down there , and they could have given the baby away , and we would never , ever have seen him . erica : where -- where did she go ? how did she get away ? ryan : well , she did n't exactly escape . zach slater found her and convinced her to come back with him . erica : zach ? oh , my god . he 's almost as bad as madden . ryan : actually , he 's not . [ scene_break ] zach : how did i make it impossible for you to raise your kid ? kendall : every time he kicks -- every time he does a 360 , i think about how you cost me my future . how -- how can i be a good mother and love this child when every time he would sit on my lap , or -- or give me a kiss on the cheek , i 'd be reminded that he cost me you ? this child deserves a mother who looks at him with nothing but love . he deserves a mother who only sees him , not what she lost . and i ca n't give him that , zach . and that 's your fault , all of it . even if i thought there was some chance that we can be together again , some chance at all , it 's your fault , zach . you made me have to leave you . you made me have to be alone . zach : you do n't have to be alone , you know .

[ scene_break ] dixie : my family knows i 'm alive . so you ca n't hold that over me anymore . they want a reason i 've been gone so long . and i 'm going to tell them that it 's you . so you tell me where my daughter is , or they will rip you to shreds . [ scene_break ] ryan : right now , zach might be the best thing for kendall . erica : how can you say that ? god knows what he 'll talk her into . ryan : or out of . i mean , erica , she 's very vulnerable right now . and -- and she 's very confused , obviously . and i do know zach will take care of her . erica : oh . ryan : i 'm not a fan , either . but -- he stole your boat . erica : what ? ryan : he stole your boat to rescue her and bring her back . he brought kendall back . so either he 's got a death wish , or -- or he really is in love with her . erica : and you 're fine with that ? ryan : he was able to do what you and i could n't without ruining lives . he found kendall , and he brought her back . so , whether you love zach or you hate him , we do owe him . [ scene_break ] zach : you can have whatever you want , whether you keep the baby or not . i love you . i want you to be happy . it 's your life , your future , and your choice . and whatever you decided , i will support you . if that 's what you want . and if i what you want , i 'm here . [ next_on ] zach ( to kendall ) : i just want you to know that there 's someone here who wants to spend the rest of his life with you , whether you keep the baby or not . babe ( to j.r. ) : maybe there 's more to dixie 's story than she 's letting on . david ( to dixie ) : with the right dose , you 'll have madden spilling every secret he ever had . dixie ( to david ) : what 's in it for you ?

jr is still having reservations about babe . he goes to visit janet . and she tells him what he is already suspecting ; if dixie can betray him , then how can he trust babe ? she does also tell him , however , that it would seem odd that dixie would stage her death and stay away . and she must have a reason . zach gets kendall to go with him on jack and erica 's private yacht . because greg has not told her where kendall is , erica is ready to carry out her threat by telling josh that he is her son and not greg 's . she calls josh to have a meeting with her but has difficulty telling him the secret and never gets it out to him . he asks her what her problem is with his father . he tells her from what he knows , she chose to have an abortion all those years ago . greg performed it and did n't do anything wrong . so why is she vilifying him ? and right before erica gets ready to spill the beans to josh , ryan comes into her office and informs her that he has spotted kendall . she is ok and greg has not `` kidnapped `` her . at that point , erica realizes that she can not go forward with her plan to tell josh that he is her son . josh still wonders what is up with her . and erica wonders what is up with kendall and zach going off on the private yacht . jr is having a fantasy about a terrible thing happening to babe and does n't know what to think or do .

i 'm through being a loser . michael : so you 're hot to join forces out of the badness of your heart , so you can recapture your evil past ? hmm . so what else ? what 's the real payoff for you ? kendall : well , to get boyd 's fabulous anti - aging formula , you have to take over enchantment . and once you 've accomplished that , you kick erica out and i assume the throne . chris : i got to know what 's going on , flanders . you give me a call after you get this message . you do not make a move until you talk to me , you got that -- nothing . [ knock on door ] chris : hi . erica : hi . chris : if -- if you 're looking for devane , she 's not here . erica : no . no , no , i 'm not . i began by speaking to derek frye , but when he told me that you were back here , i -- chris : well , look , i 'm in the middle of something right now . what can i do for you ? erica : well , i just feel that something has happened . it just feels better to -- to speak to you . chris : erica , you know i do n't fix parking tickets . erica : chris , i trust you . and -- and i just do n't know what to make of this . chris : all right . what 's going on ? erica : i do n't really know , but i just have a feeling that something has gone terribly wrong . chris : like what ? erica : jackson is missing . jack : help me . help . [ bottles clatter ] jack : help me . someone help me . david : my poor little baby . that was really scary , huh ? mm - hmm , you were so uncomfortable .

[ jack coughs ] luis : but not for long , though , huh ? as long as i 'm here , nobody 's going to help you and nobody 's going to find you . you 're mine , chump . david : behind my back , you signed the consent form ? anna : we both want what 's best for leora . david : you did n't even ask me ? anna : you 've made your position perfectly clear . david : and i 've explained to you completely why i think waiting is the safest course . but you do n't respect that or me . anna : this is n't about you . david : you 're right ! it 's about our daughter 's life , anna . anna : yes . i 'm trying to keep her from getting sick any more . david : so am i -- without taking radical action that could cause more harm than good ! anna : please , david . david : anna , look , i know that rushing here was terrifying . i understand that . but you 're -- you 're panicking , you 're overreacting . anna : no , i 'm not . david : yes , you are . look , i see it all the time . you know , people , they jump to taking these radical medical procedures because they 're afraid that another crisis is going to come up . but the fact is , more often than not , it 's the worst possible thing they can do . anna : why are you talking to me like i 'm one of your patients ? david : i 'm trying to get you to understand -- anna : i 'm her mother . david : i 'm trying to get you to understand that this is not the time to make rash decisions . you 're panicking , anna . anna : i 'm not panicking . david : yes , you are , and after a minute , a little while , you 're going to calm down and you 're going to see that this was not the time to force our daughter into some invasive procedure . anna : she needs the surgery , david . you wanted to postpone it , and we have . but now is the time . joe agrees with me . david : joe is n't -- he 's not a heart specialist , is he ? i mean , he 's better known as a semi retired medical bureaucrat ! anna : what about all the other doctors that wanted to give her a pacemaker at the start ? david : they 're wrong , they 're wrong , ok ? anna : they 're all wrong ? david : yes , and i 'm not just one of the other doctors off the street , anna . when are you going to trust me ? anna : it 's not trusting you , david . i 'm scared , too . but we have to be strong for leora . we have got to be behind her 100 % . david : you 're right . you 're 100 % right . that 's what we 've got to do , so why do n't we just table this for now , all right ? we 'll cancel the procedure , we 'll take leora home , and we 'll discuss this further ? anna : no . i 'm not delaying any more . why wo n't you stand with me on this ? david : i ca n't , anna . and if you insist on proceeding , i will not only fight you but i will win . michael : well , so much for your devotion to fusion . kendall : well , starting the company was challenging and fun , but why struggle ? michael : sure , when you can latch on to a million - dollar company . kendall : see , you think exactly like i do . michael : mm - hmm . kendall : it 'll take years and years for fusion to become a major force in the marketplace . michael : hmm , yeah , and by that time , you could be the head of enchantment , top of the heap . kendall : exactly . with us working together , you 'll have boyd 's formula , along with the billions of dollars you 'll make from it and the funds from enchantment , and i get -- michael : hmm , the crown ? kendall : mm - hmm . michael : hmm . kendall : and i do look fabulous with jewels -- fabulous . michael : yes , i 'm sure you do , but you know , there is one thing you 've forgotten about this whole arrangement . kendall : like what ? trust ? hmm . fundamentally , we both still want the same thing , michael . michael : yeah , well , you 'll have to prove that to me . kendall : ok , how about this -- how about i stay really quiet about your little affair with lena ? michael : that 's a start . but i 'm still not sure how useful you can be to me . kendall : oh , come on . come on ! with me on your team , with me onboard , we 'll both realize our dreams . without me , well , you 're in for a difficult time . there 's all sorts of people i can talk to . michael : that 's all right . who would believe you ? kendall : i do n't know . you want to test me ? michael : hmm . still not certain of your allegiance , though . kendall : oh , come on ! come on , why not ? why not ? i mean , let 's be honest here -- where else am i going to go ? my mother and my sister hate me . michael : hmm . still the lost little girl ? kendall : not so much . i 've learned a lot from you so far . michael : really ? like what ? kendall : mm - hmm . like how to be cold - blooded when i have to be . michael : ooh . you are still way too easy . kendall : hmm , do n't count on it . this is business now . so , do we have a pact to bring down erica ? michael : we do . michael : there 's only one little thing you 've forgotten about this theory of yours . you thought i never wanted you . you were wrong . you were wrong then and now . erica : look , chris , i know you 're still angry at me , but please do n't use that against me now . chris : what are you talking about , `` angry `` ? erica : i hurt you very badly , and so did jackson , but i 'm worried about him . i have to know where he is . chris : what makes you think i have any information about this ? erica : because you two have worked together on cases and because when i first told you that i thought jack was missing , you got a look on your face like you knew something , and it was n't good . i can still read you , chris . chris : no , no , not on this one . erica : no , you are holding back on me . look , i know , chris , you 're on the inside . jack was probably investigating someone who was particularly dangerous , right , someone who might harm him , someone who would gain something by getting him out of the way . am i close ? chris : erica , look , it 's like you said -- jackson 's a d.a . they all make enemies . erica : i 'm not interested in all of them , chris . tell me about jackson 's enemies . is there somebody who might kidnap him ? oh , my god , is there somebody who might kill him ? chris : erica , erica , look , just calm down . there 's nobody we were working on that comes to mind . erica : you would tell me ? you would n't hold back on me , would you , chris ? chris : erica , will you listen to me for a second ? jackson 's going through a lot . now , he probably had a few too many drinks . he 's going to wake up in a place he does n't even recognize with the worst hangover of his life . erica : no , i do n't think so . i just have this feeling . he 's in trouble , chris , and we 've got to do something now . chris : all right . all right , i 'll do everything i can to find him , i promise . we 'll find him . luis : yeah , man . i 'm going to go make sure nobody disturbs you . so you take your time . but not too much . i 'll be standing guard . reggie : what 's up ? luis : get gone . reggie : why , you got something going on ? luis : like i 'd cut you in . reggie : i 'm not . i 'm just looking , i 'm not asking . luis : oh . well , i got some things lined up right now . reggie : mm - hmm ? luis : i 'm kind of busy , so if you come back later , maybe i 'll have something for you . reggie : whatever , man . luis : yeah , oh , take the street , dog . reggie : why ? this way 's shorter . luis : get some exercise . reggie : for what ? it makes no sense . all i do is hop over the fence and i 'm on franklin street . luis : well , good for you , but not this morning . reggie : is that blood ? luis : uh , looks like . i guess somebody must 've hit a dog and then drug the dog -- yo , yo , i 'm not playing ! reggie : damn , man , who 's that ? what did you do ? luis : i did n't do nothing ! reggie : yeah , jack warned me about you . he said you 'll pull more robberies and there will be a body count . luis : jack ? reggie : yeah , jack . luis : well , you do n't got to sweat the d.a . no more , man . reggie : what are you -- no ! oh , man , what did you do ? luis : yeah , we can get out now , man . we could run . reggie : oh , man , what did you do , man ? jack ? no , what did you do ? luis : i found him this way ! you do n't believe me ? reggie : no , i do n't believe you , all right ? i do n't believe you . he 's still breathing . luis : well , hardly . and as soon as he 's stone - cold , me and you , we in the clear . reggie : and how you figure that , huh ? how do you figure that ? what , you think your -- your rap sheet is just going to disappear , it 's going to get buried with the d.a . ? luis : look , i was in a good mood before you came in here . now , you want me to turn ? reggie : nah . he 's lost a lot of blood . luis : well , he 's a big guy and there 's a lot to lose . reggie : jack , come on . i got you . luis : yo , yo , yo , where you going ? reggie : i 'm going for an ambulance ! get off me ! luis : like hell you are . he is mine . reggie : get off me , man ! he 's still alive ! i can save him ! luis : you are not a doctor and you 're not going for one ! anna : leora is not getting any stronger . i do n't understand why we 're waiting . david : i 'm not changing my position on this , anna . i will not force our daughter to undergo surgery . anna : it was always in the cards . david : all right . if you want to fight me on this , then i will get a lawyer and we 'll settle this in court . anna : we ca n't settle this ourselves ? david : how ? how ? you 've made it perfectly clear that it 's either your way or no way at all . anna : but we 're not going to court . david : i have my rights , anna , and i can legally prevent this surgery . anna : you 'll never make it to court because i 'll have you locked up . i have information that would result in you being put away , so do n't make me use it . michael : mmm . mmm . well , that was , um , different . kendall : well , what did you expect ? michael : i 'm not sure . kendall : what , something more pliant , more giving ? michael : more involved , like you used to be . kendall : yeah , well , different kisses for different dynamics . michael : hmm . kendall : and ours has changed . i mean , you ca n't expect for us to have the same passion we used to share . michael : oh , i expect it and i know just how to get it . all i have to do is deliver enchantment . kendall : hmm . hmm , i love it when you talk sexy . michael : yeah , well , now , if you 've lied to me about any of this , i 'm very good at killing passion , along with other things , and you do n't want to experience what i can dish out . chris : yeah , right . ok , yeah , she 'll be relieved to hear it . thank you , lieutenant . erica : oh , thank you . thank you so much , chris . chris : no , do n't thank me . lieutenant frye 's the one who made the decision to put out the a.p.b . erica : yeah , because you convinced him that it would be in jack 's best interest . chris : you know , five bucks , five bucks says that they find him in a doughnut shop nursing a gallon of black coffee . erica : yeah . you do n't believe that any more than i do . chris : erica , it 's early . he 's going to come walking through that door and he 's going to be wondering what the heck was all the fuss about . erica : you 're very good at whistling in the dark . chris : well , no point thinking about the worst . erica : i 'm never going to forget you for this , chris . i mean , in spite of everything , you 've really come through for me and for jackson . chris : do n't thank me . it 's all right . reggie : you going to kill him or something ? you 're going to be in solitary for the rest of your life ! luis : yo , i 'm not killing nobody . [ sirens approach ] luis : i 'm letting nature do its thing . reggie : oh , that 's nature ? look at him . get off ! get off me ! luis : you keep your mouth shut and do n't talk to the police and no one will know we were here . reggie : you hear that ? that 's sirens , all right ? somebody must 've seen you and jack and called the cops ! get off me ! luis : yeah , well , let them come because ai n't nobody saving his sorry ass now . reggie : jack ? jack , please talk to me . oh , man , jack . jack . you alive ? joni : i called 911 ! reggie : aw , jack . joni : is -- is he alive ? reggie : yeah , barely . he 's here , he 's here . joni : should i do something ? reggie : no . go call the cops . that 's all we could do for him right now . i do n't know how bad it is . jack ? joni : luis -- he did it . reggie : i do n't know .

kendall goes to see michael . she declares she 's figured everything out and knows all about his plans . she says that if he partners with her , they 'll get twice as done . michael asks what she 's after . kendall says that she wants erica 's throne after boyd 's formula has been stolen and enchantment has been taken over . michael agrees to let kendall in on the plan . he warns her that if she turns out to be untrustworthy , she 'll regret it . they shake hands and kiss . anna and david rush leora to the hospital . joe tends to leora and then lets anna and david know that she is all right . anna asks joe if they should reconsider the pacemaker . joe tells her that it would be dangerous to wait any longer . david will hear none of it and insists that leora will not be able to handle the pacemaker . behind david 's back , anna signs the surgery consent papers . david threatens to take her to court if she insists on surgery . anna tells him he 'll never make it to court because she 'll have him locked away in prison . erica rushes around looking for jackson . she suspects something terrible has happened and goes running to chris . chris hopes flanders has n't done anything stupid . he tells erica that everything will be all right and that he will find jackson . meanwhile , jackson lies wounded and unconscious in an alley . luis threatens reggie that if he 's been talking to the da , he 'll kill both of them . joni overhears their conversation , and after luis leaves , she begs reggie to tell the police . reggie says he 'll take care of things on his own . later on , he finds luis standing over jackson . he rushes to get help for jackson , but luis pins him down . joni watches quietly from behind and rushes to call the cops . luis tells reggie that he found jackson this way , but reggie does n't believe him . as the police arrive , luis runs off . reggie tends to jackson and begs him to wake up .

maria goes to the award ceremony for edmund , although uncomfortable . erica surprisingly becomes supportive to maria . when she 's given the award for her husband , maria announces that it should be given to brooke , since he loved her and gave her everything . erica urges kendall not to marry zach . but kendall does n't seem to care what happens since she trusted ethan and got burned . she tells simone that she may have ethan . zach asks livia to represent him in his battle with ethan . ethan asks jack to represent him . babe expresses concern about knowing that somebody is trying to kill di and that it could cause her son to be unsafe around her . after getting no support from jr or adam , she asks tad to look into that for her .

jesse leaves yet another message for cassandra wondering where she is , since she did n't meet her car at the airport . when angie comes home from shopping , jesse tells her there may not be a big surprise after all , but then there 's a knock at the door and it 's joe martin . jesse leaves the two doctors to talk and goes to the airport to try and track down cassandra . he 's told that she made it through customs , so he asks to see the security tapes of the baggage claim carousels . meanwhile , a man tears off a page from cassandra 's passport then goes through her purse . jesse sees cassandra leave the airport with a driver and demands to see the outside surveillance tapes . then he calls zach because the limo in which she left is registered to his casino . even though pine valley is not his favorite place , zach agrees to help . meanwhile , cassandra is tied to a bed crying and screaming as a man enters the shabby room . as evelyn is questioning celia about a condom in her purse , heather walks in and asks her friend about the hot guy she was seen talking to outside . evelyn sends heather off to conjugate french verbs then continues her interrogation of celia who confesses that she hands out condoms to hookers at the miranda center and asks ms. johnson not to tell her guardian . celia wishes she could be more like a normal teenager and be with a guy . she 's angry that her guardian never comes to see her , and she does n't appreciate all the gifts he lavishes on her -- she just wants a life !

well , then , what is worth your time ? other than my sister , of course . lena : you 're very protective of bianca . i had no idea you two were so close . would you please let go of my arm ? i have a phone call to make . kendall : oh . i assume it 's business , right ?

kendall : well , his heart stopped . aidan : what ? kendall : yeah . the doctors took him to surgery , but they 're not promising any miracles . aidan : oh , my god . i did n't realize it was that serious . kendall : well , someone shot him , aidan . i mean , what did you think that meant , that he would be in and out with a band - aid and a lollipop ? aidan : anna told me he lost a lot of blood , but -- kendall : yeah , well , she was right about that . do you have any idea who could 've done this to him ? aidan : no , i do n't . no . kendall : nothing , nothing at all ? i mean , even with your connections ? i mean , he 's the d.a . does n't anyone out there care ? aidan : yeah , well , i 'm surprised that you do , kendall . kendall : i 'm here for erica , ok ? aidan : for erica ? kendall : yeah . when she got the phone call about jackson , she was really freaked out and i did n't think it was a good idea for her to be driving . aidan : you were -- you were with erica ? kendall : yeah . why do you have to question everything i tell you ? it 's really annoying . aidan : because i 'm just trying to work out exactly what you 're trying to pull , kendall . lena : kendall knows about us , about you and me . michael : yeah , i 'm aware . lena : that 's it ? that 's all you 're going to say ? michael : well , she is n't pleased about it . lena : you 're the one who told her ? michael : no . no , but i did n't deny it . lena : well , why not ? you could 've made up some excuse . michael : she saw you here last night . lena : so that 's it ? it 's over just like that ? michael : no , no . it 's not over , not at all . i 've just changed tactics . so tell me , how did you find out ? lena : about kendall ? she told me herself . she was quite proud of it . she told me to say hello to you before i left . michael : left where ? lena : the hospital . michael : what were you doing at the hospital ? lena : oh , jackson montgomery was shot last night . michael : and kendall was there ? lena : yes . with erica . michael : erica ? what was she doing with erica ? lena : i do n't know . i did n't want to stay around to ask . i just wanted to get out of there . the whole thing 's beginning to unravel . michael : well , do n't worry . you still have plenty of time to get boyd 's formula before that patent is secured . lena : but , michael , if kendall tells bianca what we 've been doing -- michael : she wo n't . lena : how do you know ? michael : kendall gave me her word . lena : what , and you believe her ? michael , you ca n't trust her . michael : well , as it turns out , lena , the only woman that i ca n't trust is you . lena : what are you talking about ? michael : oh , that sad little story you spun about your mother -- her death ? well , as it turns out , your mother is n't dead . good news , huh ? lena : what ? michael : you lied to me , lena . that 's unforgivable . edmund : you have the softest lips . mia : i have something that i have to tell you . edmund : well , if you have to . mia : when we made love and i said it would be ok if it never happened again -- edmund : that was n't true ? mia : no . i just did n't want you to know how much i like you . maria : oh , my god . edmund : maureen . mia : maddie . maddie : stop kissing my daddy right now ! erica : sweetheart , i know you 're scared . i know . and so am i . bianca : i just -- when i heard about uncle jack -- erica : oh , i wanted to be the one to tell you . i tried so hard to reach you -- bianca : i know . erica : all the way over here . bianca : i just -- erica : what is it ? bianca : i keep thinking about daddy . erica : oh , no . no , no , no , no , baby . do n't you do that to yourself . bianca : i ca n't help it , mom . it 's the same thing all over again . erica : no . no , it 's not . it 's not . it 's not at all like your father . bianca : but it 's so fast , it 's so sudden -- no warning at all . oh , god -- lily . how are we going to tell her ? what are we going to do ? erica : bianca , you listen to me now . your uncle jack is going to be fine . do you hear me ? bianca : mm - hmm . erica : he is not going to die . bianca : ok . ok . erica : ok . bianca : oh , mom . i did n't even ask you -- how are you doing ? i know that things are n't very good between you and uncle jack and -- erica : oh , that is all behind us , sweetheart . that is all in the past , i promise you . bianca : i just do n't understand who would want to shoot uncle jack . erica : i do n't know . opal : i do . lena : my mother is dead . michael : to the rest of the world , maybe . lena : michael , i went to her funeral . michael : stop lying to me , lena . lena : let go of me ! michael : i want to hear you say it right now . lena : my mother is dead ! michael : look at this ! look at this ! you see this ? huh ? you see it ? she looks pretty alive to me . lena : you bastard ! what have you done to her ? michael : nothing yet . she 's a good - looking woman , lena . do n't ever cross me again . lena : [ speaking polish ] erica : oh , you know who did this to jackson ? who ? opal : oh -- oh , sweetie -- erica : did they catch him ? opal : no , no , it 's nothing like that . erica : well , then how do you know who ? opal : i just do , that 's all . lord knows , i wish i did n't . erica : opal , you are not making any sense . opal : well , i 'm sorry . it 's just that you 're not going to like what i have to say . but i had the great misfortune to be in range back when chris learned about you and jack . erica : opal , why are you bringing this up now ? this has nothing to do with anything . opal : this has nothing to do with anything ? if you want me to keep talking , you 're going to have to zip it , ok ? this is n't easy . erica : ok , i 'm sorry . go on . opal : well , chris was really coming apart at the seams about you rendezvousing with jack . i have never seen him that out of control . erica : opal , do n't tell me that you are suggesting that -- that chris -- opal : i 'm more than suggesting it , honey . i 'm saying it flat - out . erica : that 's ridiculous . bianca : opal , no . chris is just not capable of that . opal : not the chris that you know and love , no . but the one i saw , the one who was possessed by the green - eyed monster -- that is another story altogether . erica : opal , that 's really enough . opal : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , but i saw chris just a few hours ago , and i got this very clear premonition that somebody was going to die . erica : that 's it ? that 's what you 're basing all this on -- some flash of e.s.p . ? opal , let me tell you something . when i told chris that jackson was missing , he was genuinely concerned . opal : well , of course he was , because he knows what his passion has driven him to . erica : no ! you are wrong ! chris is not like that . chris believes in law and he believes in justice , and he would never take it into his own hands . opal : well , except that you are the one person that could maybe push him right over the edge . erica : i do n't believe this . i am suffering right now . do you have to say these things to me ? opal : jackson is the one who is suffering . and he is suffering because he could not resist your charms . and that just may be the death of him . aidan : so you and your mum kissed and made up ? kendall : is it so hard for you to believe that erica wants to give me a second chance ? i mean , just because you did n't does n't mean that she would n't . aidan : i 'm sorry ; i gave you plenty of second chances , kendall . and you know what i realized ? that people do n't change who they are or how they feel overnight . ok ? kendall : oh . they do n't , huh ? well , are n't you in love with someone who 's done just that ? aidan : no , we 're talking attitude here . and you 're in no position to -- kendall : to what ? to judge you the way you 've been judging me ? why not ? aidan : because our situations are completely different . kendall : oh , please . you know why you do n't want to believe that people can change overnight ? because then you 'd have to admit that , deep down , your dear , sweet maureen really is maria , no matter what she 's been telling you . and you know it . maria : maddie -- edmund : what—what 's that about ? maria : look , i 'm really -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . i just thought you were working . edmund : no , it 's ok . i -- i was . maria : um -- well , you know what , maddie ? you better apologize right now because that was not very nice . maddie : no . edmund : maddie . maddie : you lied to me . you said you and daddy were just friends . mia : maddie , we are friends . we 're good friends . maddie : liar ! edmund : maddie . wait , i -- i 'll go talk to her . maria : ok . mia : well , this is awkward . maria : yeah . it did n't have to be . mia : look , edmund and i never would have -- if we knew that you were going to be coming home early . maria : well , i do n't think that that 's really what made it awkward , mia . mia : i know it 's a lot for a little girl to see . it was a lot for her , but we 've been honest with her and we 've been honest with you . maria : really ? well , then , why do n't you tell me why my daughter just called you a liar to your face ? michael : hey , hey , you want to see her again ? lena : ah -- michael : shut up ! shut up ! lena : no -- you tell me ! let go ! michael : stop fighting me and i 'll tell you . lena : ow ! michael : stop fighting me and i will tell you . good . that 's better . now , you listen to me . do n't you ever raise a hand to me again , you understand ? lena : what have you done to her ? michael : nothing yet . she 's still safely tucked away in that little villa in belgium . ok ? which , by the way , i have to tell you , you 've been putting that money i 've been paying you to good use . lena : does she know she 's been found ? michael : no . and if you cooperate , nothing changes . lena : michael , she 's done nothing wrong . michael : she used to work for the secret police , lena . i 'm sure a few people would disagree with you . but take heart . do as i say , that stays buried . lena : you do n't care what happens to me or to her . michael : compassion is for the weak . i only promised you a paycheck . lena : that 's what it 's all about to you , is n't it ? power . michael : what else is there , lena ? huh ? lena : love . michael : what ? what , like you and bianca have ? please , she 's just a mark to you , lena . right ? lena : you know , i thought that after all this time you spent with kendall , i thought you 'd feel something for her . michael : what , that i would fall in love with her while i was sharing my bed with you ? all it was to me was amusement , lena . lena : you 're sick . michael : and you have to do as you 're told , without question . lena : as if i ever had any choice . michael : ok . you want choice ? you got it . do as you 're told , your mother lives . you go against me , i 'm sure you 're well aware of what i can do to your mother -- well , what 's left of her life , and how unpleasant it will be . and one more thing -- bianca will learn the truth about you . erica : joe , how is he ? how did the surgery go ? joe : hi . he 's stable . erica : oh , thank god ! joe : we were able to remove the bullet from his chest , and there 's no damage to the nearby organs . but he did lose quite a bit of blood , and we still do n't know how long he was unconscious before he was found . opal : what exactly are you trying to say , joe ? joe : that we ca n't predict how extensive the damage may be over the long term . erica : what kind of damage ? look , i 'm prepared . i mean , i 'm going to be there for him , whatever he needs . joe : well , it may not be quite that simple . erica : why not ? joe : because jack may not be the same man he was before he was shot . bianca : what do you mean ? opal : you talking about brain damage ? joe : it 's a possibility . erica : i want to see him , joe . joe : he 's still very heavily sedated . it -- erica : joe , he needs me . i want to see him . aidan : you do n't know what you 're talking about when it comes to maureen . kendall : i know she used to be maria . do you ? aidan : everyone has a past , kendall . at least maureen 's is n't one to be ashamed of . kendall : oh , come on , aidan , your chickie is no saint . you 're setting her up to be this person that she 's not , that she may never be . aidan : really ? is that something you learned from getting down with michael cambias ? kendall : you 're way off about him , ok ? aidan : am i ? or is it just because you two crashed and burned ? kendall : ok , for your information , michael and i are back together . aidan : are you serious ? how many times are you going to let this guy walk all over you ? bianca : kendall , have you seen lena ? kendall : no , she was here earlier . i do n't know where she went . bianca : ok . opal : you know , i can use a caffeine boost . would you like to keep me company ? bianca : sure . mom , if lena comes back , would you -- erica : i 'll tell her where to go . bianca : ok . thank you . erica : ok . joe , could you just give me one moment , please ? joe : yes . yes , of course . aidan : erica , how 's jackson ? erica : aidan , hello . yes , he 's fine . the surgery was a -- was a big success . kendall , i wanted to thank you for before . kendall : well , you 're welcome . erica : i 'll be in touch . kendall : ok . aidan : wow . if i had n't seen that with my own eyes -- kendall : what ? aidan : erica thanking you . kendall : do n't worry , i do n't think it 's one of the official signs of the apocalypse . aidan : well , i guess i owe you an apology . kendall : no , that 's ok . i was -- i was really harsh about maureen . listen , if maria has n't come back by now , i 'm sure she never will , so i 'm sure you 're in the clear . she 's all yours . maddie : you said mommy was the most beautiful lady you ever saw . edmund : i did say that , yes . maddie : then how come you do n't kiss mommy the way you do mia ? edmund : well , because -- because mommy 's in love with aidan , and i respect that . maddie : are you in love with mia ? edmund : i do n't know . i do like her a lot . i know that . and you would , too , if you gave her a chance . maddie : i do n't want mia to be my mom . edmund : oh , sweetheart , she 's not trying to be your mom , ok ? maddie : then what is she doing ? edmund : she 's getting close to me . honey , i know you did n't like what you saw back at the house , and i 'm sorry . but i 'm not going to lie to you and say it 's not going to happen again because -- because it will . and i know you want it to be with mommy , but -- but it wo n't be , and that 's not mia 's fault , ok ? maddie : ok . edmund : so what do you say we go back to the house and you apologize to her ? maddie : is that what you want me to do ? edmund : you know it 's the right thing to do . ok ? come on . come here , sweetie . ready to climb ? maddie : yeah . edmund : one , two -- edmund and maddie : three , four , five , six – mia : maureen , i never lied to maddie . i think she was upset because she walked in on us . maria : no , you obviously said something to her that was misleading . mia : i told her that edmund and i are friends , which we are . maria : ok , look , i 'm just -- i 'm very concerned for my daughter and what she 's going through right now , and maybe what you said to her and what you 're showing her are two different things . mia : well , you would know , would n't you ? maria : what 's that supposed to mean ? mia : did n't you tell maddie that you cared about her but you could n't be her mommy ? and do n't you show her all the time that you 'd rather be with aidan than with her ?

greenlee : i wonder if chef marcel knows that his food tastes so much better on the floor . carlos : well , your grandmother does n't have to know . greenlee : oh , i could just see the look of horror on her face . she channels martha stewart . martha stewart is -- carlos : i know -- you 're aunt . i 'm just playing . greenlee : i knew that . it 's just your face . you know , i believe anything you say . carlos : well , then i 've talked too much , and , anyway , i want to know more about greenlee 's poor rich childhood . greenlee : oh , that 's very clever , but i actually want to know more about you . carlos : no . no . no , no . you are far more interesting . greenlee : hmm -- that 's not what your emails say . anyone that can use words to -- to express their feelings like that -- carlos : well , the feelings are genuine . greenlee : wish i had a creative outlet . you know , a way to express myself other than -- carlos : stamping your feet and screaming all the time ? greenlee : i was going to say my wildly successful -- moderately successful cosmetics business . i do not stamp my feet and scream . carlos : i know . i know underneath that armor lies an angel . greenlee : you said that once in one of your emails . carlos : you 're an angel , an angel only i can see . greenlee : what 's wrong ? michael : relax , kendall , you 're doing well . i 'm -- i 'm proud of you . kendall : you ca n't imagine how much that means to me . michael : well , listen , just do n't get too smart . no more strategic moves without telling me first ?

bianca : well , like -- he lost a lot of blood . and they do n't even know how long he was in that alley before he was found , so -- kendall : oh , bianca , i 'm sorry . bianca : you know what , kendall ? just save it . kendall : look , i 'm only trying to -- bianca : what , to comfort me ? why ? kendall : what do you mean , why ? bianca : what , because you 're my sister and you love me ? kendall : no , you feel bad . bianca : well , as bad as i feel right now , i imagine that boyd felt even worse when you were through with him . i mean , you pretended to care about him for your own selfish reasons . what you did was really low , kendall . kendall : what if i had a really good reason for doing what i did ? bianca : kendall , your reasons do n't matter . you took advantage of somebody 's feelings for you . that 's totally unforgivable . erica : look what you 've done . the man i love , the man i 've always loved is lying there in a coma , and you put him there ! chris : erica , i swear i never wanted this to happen . erica : jack may never wake up . do you understand that ?

i mean , who would do that , and -- and why ? aidan : i promise you i will find out . and when i do , they will pay . maggie : hey , hey . we ca n't leave until you talk to your mother . henry : but she 's too angry to hear anything i have to say . maggie : well , you have to try . i mean , you ca n't leave like this . henry : i guess -- you know , my whole life i 've accepted the dreams that she 's had for me . so what about my dreams , huh ? maggie : what are they ? henry : one of them has already come true . maggie : yeah , it happened all of a sudden , did n't it ? henry : it was the last thing i was looking for . well , you know how i fought it . maggie : yeah , you did . henry : hey , but we 're together now , and you 're on my side . the furthest possible thing from a distraction . maggie : hey , we 'll -- we 'll show your mom . henry : i do n't know if we can . i mean , like , i 'm sorry that i 've disappointed her . i mean , she has worked her whole life , just like she said . but i 'm not the person she thinks i am , and now i 'll never be . maggie : henry -- henry : i 'm only the person i see in your eyes . maggie : i just want to see you happy . henry : i know . come here . i love you , maggie , for so many reasons . maggie : i love you , too . maggie : let 's go . henry : ok . where ? maggie : my place . come on . greenlee : hey , hey -- you have to understand something . this is what i want . carlos : it 's not that -- greenlee : no , i know , i know . i know . you 're thinking of me . you do n't want to go too fast . that 's how you are . you 're honest and -- and good . a grownup . i 'm lucky to have met someone like you . and now -- carlos : look -- look , you invited me to dinner , and all this has been so special to me , more than i can tell you -- greenlee : you do n't want to make love to me ? carlos : oh , no . no , that 's not it , greenlee . that 's not it at all . greenlee : before you came here tonight , i reread your emails . whatever doubts i had completely vanished . and i wish they had for you , too , but -- and that 's my fault . you know , the way i treated you , the stupid assumptions i made . and i have no excuse for that , and i 'm sorry . i should n't have needed those emails to see you for the person that you really are . carlos : that 's -- no -- greenlee : no , but i do have them . and i do see you , and i see you for who you are on the inside . carlos : those were just words , greenlee , just words . greenlee : they 're beautiful words . they 're from your heart , and they went straight into mine . carlos : no . they did n't . those emails -- they 're not my words . i did n't write the emails . kendall : did you find lena ? bianca : yeah . she went out for takeout . kendall : so , is lena a friend or a girlfriend ? bianca : why do you care ? kendall : i care , bianca . will you please answer me ? bianca : lena is a girlfriend . kendall : really ? so , how long have you been together ? bianca : not long , but what we have is real . kendall : how do you know that ? bianca : you know what , kendall ? i really do n't want to talk about this with you . kendall : why not ? bianca : why do i always have to justify my feelings ? i mean , when you 're involved in a new relationship with a man , does everybody automatically assume that it 's not going to work out ? that it 'll just burn itself out or -- or , better yet , that whoever he is , he 's just going through a phase and once he snaps out of it , he 'll realize -- kendall : no , you know what ? i 'm not thinking that . i 'm not thinking that , ok ? i just -- i do n't want you to be alone . no matter how we feel about each other , i think you 're a good person and you deserve to be with someone . bianca : what is this ? kendall : can we go somewhere more private ? i have something i have to tell you . [ monitor beeps ] erica : jack ? you can wake up now . the surgery was a success . nurse : ms. kane ? why do n't you take a break ? erica : dr. martin said that they removed the bullet from his chest and there was no major damage . so he could just wake up at any moment now . you know the sooner he regains consciousness , then the better chance he has for a normal -- wo n't you let me stay , and i can talk to him and maybe i can reach him . nurse : oh , of course . it might help . erica : thank you . erica : i 'm here , jack . i told you that i was not going to leave you , and i meant it . i 'm right here . you loved me for such a long time . and i depended on your love . and i knew that i could count on your love no matter what happened , no matter who else left me . and no matter what i may have said or may have done , i love you so much . i 'm so sorry that i just -- i did n't have the courage to do what my heart was telling me to do . but it 's not too late , jack . it 's not too late . i accept your proposal , jack . for the rest of my life , i will be by your side . oh , please come back to me . please . please come back to me , jack . please . jack : do you love me ? erica : yes , i do . jack ? do you know who i am ? jack : sure . you 're my heart . erica : yes , i am your heart . and you 're mine . jack : you love me . i heard you . erica : i do . yes , i do . i love you so much . jack : you know what they say about deathbed confessions -- you ca n't take them back . erica : i wo n't . oh , i wo n't . i never will .

aidan accuses chris for jackson 's condition . chris defends himself and says flanders acted alone . he does admit , however , that he wanted jackson out of the way so he could get back with erica . unfortunately , erica comes out of the hospital room just in time to hear chris say that . she grabs him and aidan pulls her away . she screams that she never wants to see him again . after chris leaves , aidan comforts erica . he tells her that chris is not responsible , but he will find out who is . erica goes back to jackson and tells him she loves him . she says she accepts his proposal , and wants to be with him for the rest of her life . jackson wakes up . he tells her he heard her and that she ca n't take it back . erica kisses him happily . after a lot of questioning from michael , kendall manages to convince him that she 's still on his side . she is concerned that bianca will get her heart broken and later , she tries to comfort her . bianca is confused about kendall 's sudden concern . kendall asks her to go somewhere more private so she can tell her what she knows . greenlee has prepared a candlelight dinner at home for her and carlos . they 're both quite nervous , but are glad that they finally got together . they start kissing and undressing each other . carlos stops her . greenlee assures him that she wants him and is ready to move on with her life . carlos confesses that he did n't write the e - mails . greenlee is speechless . henry 's mother says that she does n't care much for his music . henry accuses her for never cutting him a break , and for not allowing him to live his life . she slaps him when he questions her love . after his mother leaves , henry thanks maggie for being there for him . they both say `` i love you `` to each other and leave to go back to her place .

i think maybe we all do , eventually . palmer : maria , please -- please accept this with our -- our sincere condolences and our best wishes for you and your children . maria : my children . my children . thank you . mine and edmund 's children , and brooke 's now , really , too . right , brooke ? because they are in a way . brooke : maria , this is not the time or the place . maria : no , this is the perfect place for this ! i think it is really good , because here 's all the pine valley movers and the -- whoo -- movers and shakers . i 'm ok . and they can all -- lord knows what they 've heard . so now is the perfect time to be able to clear the air , and -- and set everything straight . so i think this is going to be actually very fun . do n't you think this is going to be kind of fun , brooke ? ok , who thinks that this should go to brooke english ? who thinks she should get the award for this ? anyone ? anyone , anyone ? hello ? can everybody pay attention , please ? what is wrong with you people ? oh , you know who can tell you ? right here . ryan . ryan can tell -- he totally knew about me and edmund , and he -- you can tell them that -- because if his -- if his brother jonathan had n't killed edmund , then i would n't even be standing here right now . i would n't be edmund 's widow , would n't even be edmund 's wife , because he would have flipping kicked me to the curb long ago . and i would n't even be -- right ?

please , just come -- maria : no , no . i -- believe me , i do n't blame you for any of this , and i do n't think any of it is your fault . sincerely . and i do n't -- probably not even maybe jonathan 's fault . to tell you the truth , there -- actually , zach -- i mean , edmund blamed zach for a lot , a lot of stuff , and i -- it was actually my fault . and then i -- i did n't believe you and -- that , though , was n't totally my fault , because i had a little help there . right ? ethan cambias , ladies and gentlemen ! ethan cambias helped me quite a bit . he knew what was in my heart . edmund -- he totally knew what was in my heart . it 's no wonder you hated me with all -- oh . got it , got it , got it . got -- got it . got it . it 's heavy , this thing . but it looks heavy . but i ca n't accept this award -- ahem -- because this is supposed to be for , you know , somebody who was honest and who was generous and who was good . and i can not accept it unless i am totally honest with all of you right now . jack : maria , let 's go get some air . come on . maria : oh , the air is actually really good in here , jack , because i 'm getting a chance to clear it , finally . and the truth will set you free . got that from myrtle . myrtle : not with champagne , darling . erica : maria , if you want to sleep on this and tell us all this tomorrow , that 's fine . it 's just this way now -- i mean , you 're going to regret this in the morning . maria : oh , this actually is not even going to make the bottom of my regret list . i do n't know if you 've heard , erica , but my husband was murdered . might have -- brutally murdered . but , you know , the funny thing is that i 'm -- i 'm dead to my kids , because they hate me . and then my ex - lover is going to marry this pretty little thing over here . so what do i really have left ? i mean , you knew that edmund hated me . ethan , hey ! you knew , right ? and of course , she knew . you knew more than anyone , zach . you know why i ca n't accept this award on my husband 's behalf . right ? actually , maybe you could tell them . could you come up here and -- because you could explain this to them , and then they might get it . so come up here . zach : do n't do this . maria : stand up just where they can all see you and explain to them -- me -- and why i should really have nothing -- i should n't -- and then why she should have everything . zach : i 'll take you home . maria : just do me a favor , please , and get up there where they can see you ! they 're just -- i 'm saying what you all think of me , anyway . so help me out . just tell the truth . ryan : maria -- jack : no , no , no . you 've done enough . maria , look , let me have this . we all know what you 've been going through , all right ?

maria : everybody 's -- jack : come on . maria : what , are you trying to get me killed , too ? this -- oh -- jack : what ? maria : because erica 's not going to let you take me home ! she would fillet me like a salmon ! are you kidding ? she 's going to let her fiancé take home pine valley 's most notorious slut ? that 's going to happen . thank you , you 've been very gallant , jack . thank you very much for your help . jack : no , i 'll gladly -- maria : but i am fine . because i need to stay here to accept edmund 's award from the commerce club -- brooke : maria , stop this . maria : stop ! you stop ! i 'm talking . stop , all of you , trying to make me go . because i have something to say . not -- not one of you knows me , ok ? you do n't know who i am . and ca n't help you out , because i do n't know myself anymore . i used to have a really nice life . i used to help people . i used to heal people . thought i was smart , though . i did think i was smart . that actually -- that 's actually the hysterical one , because there is a man who loved me , who offered to take me away from everything that was making me sad and miserable . and i said no , because i loved edmund , and i was committed to my marriage over there . and -- and then i -- but i did n't play fair at all , because i led zach on until he realized that i was n't even worthy of his love anymore . so he decided to marry kendall . and , kendall , you do n't need my blessing at all , but you have it . you have it . because he really -- zach -- deserves better than me . and he got it . he totally got it . ethan : ahem . maria : because you 're very pretty -- whatever . ethan : that 's quite a speech . maria : thank you . i think that they kind of got what they came for . and i needed to show them , that 's all . ethan : you showed them that you 're hurting . everybody here knows this is n't who you really are . maria : really ?

[ thunder ] tad : look , jesse and i , we questioned stuart about the morning when -- when dixie was killed , right ? now , he swears that he remembers seeing adam down at the front gate touching the ribbon that supposedly that the satin slayer had tied there . krystal : wait a minute , supposedly . tad : right . krystal : no , those ribbons were at every murder scene . that was cambias ' calling card . tad : and you know that , and i know that , and anybody that watched television or could read a newspaper , including adam . krystal : well , if that 's all you have , i 'm sorry . this is nothing but a witch hunt . tad : no , no , wait . it turns out that when he was interviewed by the police more than once , he never mentioned the ribbon , ever . jamie was the one that reported it . now , stuart never lies . if he says he saw adam touching that ribbon , he was there . now , if that 's the case , then why would n't adam bring it up to the cops ? do n't you think that 's kind of important ? why would he leave it to somebody like jamie unless he did n't want somebody to think he had something to do with putting it there ? krystal : do you really think that adam would want to kill babe ? tad : honey , i do n't know , but i do know that adam collapsed when j.r. confronted him about it . he had a seizure . does any of this sound like an innocent man to you ? krystal : what do you think you 're going to find ? what are you looking for ? tad : i do n't know . i 'll know it when i see it . it 's so dark in here . i can barely make out anything . krystal : well , i know one thing . if adam is hiding some kind of a secret , it would probably be in his safe . you 're welcome .

[ scene_break ] erica : the stress of fighting this terrible custody battle for little a coming at the same that the economy collapsed , and his company has been threatened . i mean , adam has been juggling battles on all fronts at the same time , and he 's not 20 years old anymore . i mean , he can still slay dragons , but i think just one at a time these days . scott : he 's also not one to give up to ever give up control of anything , any time , and yet , he 's been talking about doing just that , actually stepping down from the company , and that does n't sound like a healthy adam chandler to me . erica : no , but it sounds like a pragmatic adam chandler to me . i -- i mean , at this moment , coming to terms with the reality of this particular time , and , frankly , i would be thrilled to see him give over some of the responsibilities of chandler enterprises to both j.r. and to you , and i would think you 'd be thrilled at that prospect . scott : yes , but i 'm not one to party over someone else 's rough time , especially my own family 's . erica : of course not , but i bet you 've dreamed about taking over the reins of the family business . scott : well , someone needs to bring it into this century . now , it 's high time somebody did some good with all that money , make a difference in the world . erica : like the heart valve you 've championed ? scott : exactly . erica : you seem very passionate about this . scott : i watched what my mother went through , suffering like she did , dying like she did , and i never got over feeling so helpless watching her slip away , and if i can do something to keep other people from having to go through that -- so , yeah , you bet . i am very passionate about this .

's being reckless again . he 's going to slip up big time . i just hope to god it 's not at some horrible cost to my grandson . marissa : do you want j.r. to screw up ? david : i want a chance to reopen the custody case . marissa : the last thing that little boy needs is another custody battle . david : the last thing that little boy needs is a drunken father who puts his life at risk on a daily basis . marissa : j.r. is the kid 's father . does that not count for anything ? david : j.r. is a worthless sack of flesh who pollutes everything and everyone around him , and do n't forget that . he does n't deserve little adam any more than he deserved babe , and if i ever hear you defending j.r. chandler again , krystal 's friend or not , you 'll be finding another place to live . is that understood ? marissa : perfectly .

[ scene_break ] greenlee : you 're obviously busy . i appreciate your offer to help , but i do n't need to hear your condition . this clause is iron clad . there 's nothing you can do anyway . ryan : maybe there is . come to rio with me and find out . greenlee : very funny , or however you say it in spanish . ryan : they speak portuguese . greenlee : i know that . ryan : so is that a yes , go pack your bags ? greenlee : why are you even suggesting this ? you said i was a person you do n't even know anymore , that you were done . ryan : i also said there was a condition . it 's a big one .

[ scene_break ] greenlee : i do n't know what hoops you want me to jump through , but you 're the one that caused this mess , because you thought it was a really good idea to sign an agreement with a flippin ' company in another hemisphere that is prohibiting me from launching the product line i 've worked my ass off to develop , all because we have similar packaging . ryan : we needed the money , greenlee . the deal had to be made . greenlee : well , now it has to be unmade . because if it is n't , i ca n't compete with erica . and if i ca n't compete with erica , i lose fusion . there 's no way in hell i 'm gon na let that happen . ryan : any deal that has been properly negotiated can be unnegotiated . all we have to do is sit down with the people at bahia cosmetics and find out what it 's gon na take for you to get the packaging rights back , ok , beyond just giving them their money back . greenlee : i can handle this alone . ryan : but why would you want to ? i have a phenomenal relationship with these people . greenlee : i 'm not going to rio with you . ryan : why ? do you think it 's just some kind of angle so i can get you all to myself ? that 's in the past , greenlee . greenlee : but there must be some angle , and this big condition . and by helping me , you would hurt erica , and i know there 's no way you would do that . ryan : i would n't be hurting erica . no . in fact , i would just be leveling the playing field . that 's all . you still got ta beat erica all by yourself . in fact , the one condition erica would be all for .
