I love you. And asking me

to stop is like asking me to erase

the years of friendship we share together.

I'm sorry. I can't do it. I can't stop the

feeling I have for you. I want you to

stop. Please stop me. I can't do this. My

feelings for you and lucky are what put me

here to begin with. This is tearing me

apart inside.

I can't believe this. Are you some kind of

maniac? I'm calling 911 and telling them

some crazy person just ran send me off of

the road. Hello?

Are you okay?

Maxi, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I guess I need to find a better form of

anger management.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you a

maniac. I'm not the world's greatest

driver myself. Are you,

are you saying this is your fault? No,

not at all. Well, I mean, I could have

been a teeny bit distracted. Kate said her

car was pinging, and I took it to Johnny

to get it fixed, and I was trying to email

Kate the invoice while texting and talking

and driving at the same time, so it's

possible I went over the line just a

little bit. Well, even if you did, I was

the one who was going too fast. You aren't

high or drunk, are you? No, I wish.

Are you thinking about something or

someone specific, like Elizabeth or

Nicholas? Not to be too nosy.

Yeah, I was just with Elizabeth,

trying to help. It's very generous

of you, all things considered. Yeah, I was

saying what she needed to hear, but the

words sounded hollow, so I needed to get

away from her and myself.

An expensive exit strategy, isn't it?

You know, that cut on your forehead is

bleeding. Oh,

it's fine. See, I got a buddy with a toe.

I'll call him. He'll come out. It's not a

big deal. I think you should probably go

to the hospital. Well, I'm not in the mood

to see my brother, the trustee, so, no,

thank you. All right, well, if you're not

gonna go to the hospital, then you're

coming with me.

I chose lucky. Yeah, I know. And vowed

to stay away from me, but, but you

couldn't. You wanted to be with me. You

destroyed me, Nicholas. That's why I'm

here in this stupid place. I can't do this

anymore, Elizabeth. People change. What's

right for the past isn't necessarily

what's right for the future. Lucky forgave

me. Yeah, he did. And I

can't, I won't hurt him again. I just

can't stop wondering if this determination

you have to be with Lucky is more about

guilt than love. I just, I do feel guilty.

I do. Because after everything I have

done, Lucky still cares, and he managed to

forgive me. I don't deserve it, but I'm

grateful. And this time, I'm going to be

worthy of his trust. You can trust me,

too. You don't understand. I have to get

better so that I can go home and be with

my boys. You need to let this idea of us

go. What? Elizabeth, you are pregnant

with a child that very well may be mine.

And don't you think that baby deserves two

parents who love each other?

Do you have any idea what you're doing?

Excuse me? How many months did I volunteer

at general Hospital serving oatmeal and

pudding and arranging back issues of

really boring magazines? Wow. Okay, I

guess that's probably not what you want to

reminisce about right now. Yeah.

Ow. Whoa. Look, it's either this or an

infection that goes straight to your brain

and kills you, okay? You're very dramatic,

aren't you? I'll shut up about the

hospital. Don't. It's probably good for me

to be reminded that I'm an addict right

now and that I cheat on a, I, Elizabeth,

with you, it helps me keep perspective.

Nobody's perfect. Exactly.

Cause if I was perfect, I could forgive

Elizabeth, right? I don't want to talk

about this. I checked myself into shady

Brooks so that I can get well. The way to

get well is to face reality, and I am,

with Lucky's help. Elizabeth, Lucky is

only one part of the picture here. You and

I were together a lot of times. You were

only with him once. The odds are that the

baby is mine. Yeah, but we don't know that

now, do we? We don't. But if it is, we're

connected for the rest of our lives,

whether you like it or not. So you think

staking a claim to this baby is kind of

like staking a claim to me? No, no,

of course not. Are you sure? Cause you

already have one kid you pretty much

ignore, so why would you want another one?

Unless you think this baby would bring us

together?

The car's in a ditch off maple, so I was

wondering if you could pull it out, tow it

to your place. Great. Yeah. I'll be by

later to pick it up. Thank you.

Okay. Vitamin C helps with healing,

and electrolytes help balance your system

and give you energy. More knowledge from

your hospital volunteering days? No,

Spinelli told me that, and his brain is

jam packed with information, and sometimes

it's useful. You're really happy

with Spinelli, aren't you? Yeah. He's

sweet and kind.

He sees my faults and loves me anyway.

You know, he's not delusional about it.

That's good. I'm really glad.

Wish I could say the same for you and

Elizabeth. Let me guess.

You still don't like her.

No, but I like you. I mean,

the time we spent together, I feel like we

saw the worst in each other. You know,

you were high, and I was supplying you

with drugs so you would stay high and

depend on me. I don't know. But now I feel

like we've gotten glimpses of the best in

each other. Your point? People are

complicated. I'm not

easily shocked. Okay, so if you need

someone to talk to, to be honest with,

I'm here to listen. Besides, I'm like the

walking, talking expert on infidelity.

Elizabeth didn't just have an affair.

She's. She's pregnant.

Who's baby? We don't know yet.

Sorry, it's overload. She checked

herself into shady Brook. She's completely

overwhelmed with guilt. She's begging me

to forgive her. Did you?

Elizabeth has two kids at home, both from

different fathers and another one on the

way. She has to get better for their sake.

That's all I know. So I told her that

I forgive her. Did you mean

it?

Every time I look at her, Maxie, all I

feel is the pain that she caused me.

You know, I can't stop seeing her

and Nicola's together. All the

anger and the rage just rises up again.

And if I don't do something with it,

it's gonna kill me.

This might sound kind of crazy coming from

me, but I think it's

time you start being truthful.

Can I get you anything, Miss Weber? No,

thank you. Actually, I would love to take

a nap after my therapy session, Mister

Kassadine. No, thank you.

Okay, so my grandmother was here.

I'm sure she made her presence known to

the staff. Actually, she makes donations

to Shady Brook. She made it pretty clear

she can control my treatment anytime she'd

like. I'll make sure that she doesn't

interfere. She thinks

this baby is yours, Nicholas. She's

already planning to shove Spencer aside

and groom this child to take over the cast

iron inheritance. I would never let him

think that he's second best. Look,

Elizabeth, I realize that you think I'm a

neglectful parent, and you're right.

I confess to making my share of mistakes

in trying to raise my son. But you hardly

see Spencer. He spends more time with that

nanny than he does with you. I know. And

the child needs to know that his parent

loves him and wants to be with him.

Well, you can guide me if it turns out I'm

a father again.

And all things considered, I think we

should find that out sooner than later.

I've looked into some options here.

It's completely up to you, of course. But

would you be willing to take an earlier

paternity test?
