I know you probably didn't expect this,

but I don't want you to leave Port

Charles. Lucky, I'm Joe. I'm just trying

to make things right here. You moving

won't do that, okay? Not for me.

I hear you're my brother.

Yeah, and Elizabeth is the woman that

you're gonna marry. I stepped over a huge

line here. Why would you want me to stay

when every time you look at me, you feel

betrayed? I should

have handled things better, too.

Lucky, when you found out that I'm

in love with Elizabeth, I lied to you

behind your back, completely betrayed your

trust. I know.

But I let go of my anger just long

enough to see things from your point of

view. I put myself

in your shoes, imagined what it was like

for you to lose Emily, what it did to you.

You.

I would be even more self destructive

than you. Are you

working tonight?

They'll call me at work if they need me.

This is more important. I want to make

sure that you don't leave. Lucky, I need

to find a way to deal with my feelings for

Elizabeth. That's why I'm leaving.

I understand, but, look, I, I know

that you would never, ever act

on those feelings, Nicholas. I mean, we

worked way too hard to get to where we

are, right? Of course not. And not that

it would even matter if you did try to

steal Elizabeth, because we both know that

I'm the one that she loves.

Yes, you are. So if you're worried that I

wouldn't be able to deal with you even

being around her, I trust

you, okay?

You would never betray me.

That's, that's very generous of you.

I just know that it's not who you are.

No, it isn't. And I

regret what happened. Should have handled

it differently. Yeah. While you were

trying to fill that empty space, Emily

left after she died.

Elizabeth was always there for you,

always caring for you, being

compassionate. She made it easy for you to

fall in love with her. This is all on me,

Lucky. No, blame her.

Well, regardless, our fathers

spent their entire lives hating each

other. We don't have to repeat

that cycle. And we shouldn't.

No. You and

Elizabeth deserve the right to get married

and move on without me hanging on to your

lives. Maybe I'm asking too

much for you to stay, you know,

stick around, watch me make a life of

Elizabeth. But that's what I'm asking,

Nicholas. I'm asking you, I'm asking

you to stay. And who knows? I mean,

maybe I could even help you

through some of this, you know?

Serious? Yeah.

My life won't be right if you go, not like

this.

Okay. All right. I'll try.

Okay.

Hi.

You alone? Who else would be here with me?

Oh, I just meant, are the boys here?

Yeah, of course. They're sleeping.

I, uh, I just went to see Nicholas at

the airport. What did you guys say

to each other? When we face some

truths about everything that's happened,

I did something that I realize now.

I should have spoken to you first.

What did you do? I convinced

Nicholas to stay in Port Charles. What?

Why, Lecky? Why? He wanted to go.

It was a way to end all of this, this

tension. He's my brother,

Elizabeth. I couldn't

let him leave.

Nicholas running away solves nothing.

I'm sorry this is awkward for you. I

probably should have discussed it with you

first, but I was just afraid I'd be too

late. A man. I literally stopped Nicholas

on the tarmac. I want you to do whatever

makes you happy, lucky.

Thank you. Thank you. That's very

generous. Because this might end up being

harder on you than anyone.

Knowing that Nicholas is in love with you

could be just really awkward.

Was it selfish for me to ask him to stay?

No. No, of course not. I'm a little

confused as to why you wouldn't just let

him go when it's clearly what he wanted.

Nicholas and I started out as mortal

enemies, you know, but we found a way to

become friends and brothers with trust

and loyalty and honesty.

And you're one of the few people that

really understands how much Nicholas means

to me, how much I love. I love my brother.

I mean, I couldn't let that go.

Well, you know I'll support whatever

you want to do.

Yeah. Thank you. You always do.

I love you.

I can't tell you how much that means to

me.

I'll call you later.

Thanks for agreeing to see me. I need to

explain why I'm still here. He's already

here. Yeah. He told

me he convinced you to stay.

Yes. It was eerily important to him

because he loves you. You're his brother.

He trusts you. He trusts us. I know. I'm

sorry I did this to you. We did this. We

did this to a man who deserves so much

better. No.

Okay. I was surprised

that you said it was okay to come over

when I called because I needed you to look

me in my eye when I tell you what I have

to say. I will never

be with you again. No more sneaking

around, no more stolen moments. What we

did was disrespectful and unworthy of

Lucky's love. And commitment. So whether

you stay in Port Charles or move to Paris,

it doesn't matter. I choose lucky

and only lucky.

Hey, Ethan. You seem bad. I was gonna ask

you the same thing. These days, he'd be

more likely to share his itinerary with

you. Sorry,

but our father's disappearance remains

clerked in mystery. It's not so

mysterious. I finally know what inspired

him to take off. I'd love to hear your

theory, but you don't have to wait.

Unfortunately, I've got some damage

control today. I don't know if I want to

hear this. Nothing illegal yet.

Mike Corbin came in and dumped a bundle on

the roulette table. So it would have been

nice if someone had warned me that he was

an addict. Thought everybody knew about

Mike. Well, I'm still catching up. I'll

just read that Sonny will catch wind of it

and decide it's all my fault. How you

gonna fix it? Track down Mike, offer him a

chance to win his money back, then make

sure he does. Oh, that's a good idea,

Ethan. Yeah, let an addict win big time.

That'll cure him. Yeah, well, you know,

I'm worried about my own skin at the

moment. Can understand functioning

kneecaps are a horrible thing to waste.

Why don't you, why don't you go? I'll

close up. Are you sure? Yeah. Don't worry

about this star. I've got it covered.

What? No, you just, you sounded like Luke

there for a minute. I've never noticed

that before. I happen, I have a minute.

If there's something you want to get off

your chest, dad's not around.

Nice. That's all right. She gonna take

care of your business, I promise her.

All right, man. I've got em handled.
