What's this about? I just wanted to let

you know that it's official.

Due to conflict of interest, I'll be

taking myself off Claudius murder

investigation. I'll be turning

over all of the evidence and my notes to

another detective, and that includes

the name of a witness that I've turned up.

The night Claudia disappeared, the storm

flooded Kate Howard's pool. Somebody had

to let the pool guy in at 03:00 a.m.

maxie,

you're not saying anything. Can't say I'm

surprised. I'm listening. Maxie had a

front row seat at the Corinthos gates.

She would have been able to see anyone who

came or went. Now, of course, she says

she didn't see anyone, but we both know

she's lying. I didn't

press Maxi, but I did list her in my

report as a potential witness. And the

next detective is not going to go so easy

on her. They'll bring Mack in, and it's

only going to be a matter of time before

Maxie says what she knows.

Why are you telling me this? Maybe I've

come to realize that I've judged you

unfairly about a lot of things.

Board meeting.

Of course. Look,

I meant what I said. You're with Lucky,

and I want to honor that. I know you're

going to be here at least a couple times

out of the week for meetings. I mean,

we're bound to run into each other.

I can always take the stairs instead. All

six floors? Yeah. Good for the heart.

Elizabeth, I don't want to put you in a

position that makes it even more difficult

for you. I said I will keep my distance.

And if that means me resigning my seat on

the board, then that's what I'm willing to

do. But you need to tell me what you need.

Wondering why I would tell you the

identity of a witness that might help make

a capital case against Sonny. Right.

Because I trust you, Jason, a lot more

than some people. Are you okay?

Is something different here?

Yeah, everything is. Yeah.

Everything. I did a little redecorating

myself lately.

I came down on you pretty hard for what

happened with Franco and for your choice

to save Sam instead of my sister. But

after cooling down, I realized that you

did the best you could with what was an

impossible situation.

That was more than fair of you. You know,

like when you do a crime scene, you try to

look at it from all the angles. Like the

front street shooting. I mean, I looked at

it up close. I went down the street into

the alley. I got down on the ground. I

went up onto the roofs.

Because you don't see things from

just one point of view. You're going to

miss, you're going to miss what's right in

front of you.

Do you want to talk about something?

Oh, I'm off the case, remember? This isn't

an official visit. I was just giving you

an example. I could give you another

one, like what happened with Jake. What,

what about Jake? Oh, we've already talked

about all the lies and secrets that you

and Elizabeth kept, possible motivations.

But in the end, you were the one.

You had to give up your son. Elizabeth and

I couldn't make it work. You know, we were

a disaster, and you and Jake were

collateral damage. You deserve to know the

truth. I should have told you. Elizabeth,

Elizabeth told you not to, though.

And when the woman you love tells you to

do something, it's pretty hard. It's

pretty hard to say no.

I can't regret Jake. No, of course not.

Of course, I don't, either.

Yeah, Elizabeth cared for me,

but she never stopped loving you.

I don't think she ever will.

Of course I don't want you to resign from

the hospital board. Well, if you change

your mind, I'm not accusing you of

stalking me.

Well, you shouldn't take me at my word.

I've given you every cause to be

suspicious. Well, I do believe you.

I've played my part in our mistakes,

and now it's over and we can move on and

just be, be really grateful we didn't

wreck a lot of lies. Sure,

it's bad enough that lucky now knows my

feelings for you, but at least he knows

that those feelings went unrequited and

he'll never know we slept together. That I

will take to my grave.

I don't forgive you. He just needs time.

I miss my brother, my friend.

We'll get back to that. I know we will.

It's kind of nice, though, you know, not

having all that tension, all the what ifs

hanging over our lives,

even if it is just for a short elevator

ride.

I know that you've been having a rough

time, but drinking is not gonna fix

anything. Some things can't be fixed,

Lulu. Some things you just need to ride

out. What's wrong with having a shot or

two to smooth out the rough edges? It's

not like I'm back on pills, you know?

Lucky, please, listen, I'm not stealing.

I'm not compromising myself to support

a habit. I'm just, I'm buying a bottle and

I drink. I don't even have to go anywhere.

We have a bar in the family. Lucky,

you've worked so hard at your recovery. I

have been so proud of you. I'm sorry

I disappoint you. Lucky, please, this is

just a slip. I love you. I want to help

you, and we both know that this is way out

of my league. So I can call your sponsor

and we can get you to a, don't patronize

me. You have so

much to look forward to, your family with

Cameron and Elizabeth and Jake. You're

about to get remarried. Why do you want to

throw all that away? Who says I'm throwing

it away?

Don't do this.

You don't have to stay and watch.

We're in a bar. There aren't enough

bottles for you to hold. Why are you so

intent on wrecking things? What am I

wrecking? I can live my life. I can

pay my bills, I can do my job. I mean,

our dad's been drinking for years. Look at

all he's accomplished. Is that what this

is about? Are you angry at him for

leaving?

Dad does what he wants when he wants to.

It's time I had some respect for that,

okay? He's honest with himself,

something that I obviously have a hard

time doing. You know, maybe he looks at

the world through bloodshot eyes, but it

beats the hell out of the rose colored

glasses that I've been wearing.

You're just like dad.

Lulu asked me to meet her here. I know.

She sounded upset. Yeah. Do you think she

knows about us? No. How could she? It

probably has nothing to do with that. And

if it does, I don't know. Well,

she kept your secret about you and Jason.

Hopefully she'll keep ours, too. You okay?

Hey. Hey. Thank you for seeing me.

So, what's wrong? Look, he's drinking.

He's not even trying to hide it. I'm

afraid your feelings for Elizabeth have

triggered this, and now he's in big, big

trouble.

Thought you liked it loud. I do,

but that particular level of volume,

as you know, brings in the boys in blue.

What? Are you ready?

Woodlot 17.

Surveyors report. Elizabeth and I wanted

to get some boundaries. I've been

carrying this around with me,

not knowing what to do with it.

You want to join me?

Are we celebrating? You could

say that. What? I finally got

it, dad. What did you get?

All of it.

Now I'm just like.
