Good morning, Elizabeth.

Lucky and I were just talking about you.

I just took Rebecca's statement. Yeah,

such as it is. I mean, how many times have

you and Elizabeth told your kids to look

both ways before crossing the street?

More than once, I'd say. I can't believe I

ran out into the middle of the street

without even looking. Lucky, I feel like

such a klut. I'm just glad you're here to

tell us about it. You were pretty out of

it when they brought you into the E.R.

edward and Monica were so worried. I just

feel awful for putting them through it.

Edward kept saying how he lost Emily and

he couldn't lose me, too. This isn't

relevant to your police statement. I'm

just curious, as a friend. Why were you in

such a hurry to get to my house last

night?

I was heading over to your house on total

impulse. I wish you had called me first.

I wasn't even there. I couldn't believe

how Nicholas was acting, and I wanted to

talk to you about it. He and Ethan got

into it at the Haunted Star last night.

Probably haven't heard about that. No,

no, but that doesn't surprise me because

he hasn't been himself lately, and I

really wanted to talk to you about what's

going on. I'm not sure I could have been

much help. After I talked to you, Lucky,

I went out to Windermere and I got a big

surprise. What happened?

Um. Let's just say that I finally realized

that Nicholas and I are. That we never had

anything real and that I was never the one

he wanted. I guess it's

pretty impossible to compete with a ghost.

See, I used to believe that, too. But

lately, Nicholas has been very focused on

the here and now. He doesn't seem to care

about what happened before or who he might

hurt. I guess the accident's a perfect

metaphor for me. Nicholas, he used me up,

and then he ran me over.

So how's Rebecca? Looks like she's gonna

make it. I just took her statement. And

when are you gonna arrest Nicholas? It was

an accident, Ethan. She started across the

street without looking. She stepped right

in front of his car. Nicholas couldn't

stop in time. And that's it? Yeah,

that's it, according to Rebecca. Okay,

wait. Nicholas breaks up with Rebecca,

and on the same night he tries to run her

down with his car? Doesn't seem strange to

you? How's she doing? Well, she's alive.

No, thanks. I really don't appreciate what

you're implying. Oh, I'm not implying

anything. I'M saying straight up that you

tried to kill Rebecca. Hold on, dude,

just how would that work? Seriously,

do you really believe that Nicholas waited

outside of my house for Rebecca to show up

and then deliberately ran her down? Look,

I don't know the details, okay? But it was

no accident. Why? Why would he do that?

There's a huge difference between breaking

up with someone and wanting them dead.

What possible motive could he have?

Elizabeth, Is that you? Will you settle

for Elizabeth's older brother? Steve

Weber? Rebecca Shaw.

Well, risk of being impolite,

you really do look exactly like Emily

Quartermain. Oh, is that why I rank a

visit from the new chief and flat? How'd

you know? Well, Edward and Monica have

been talking about you for a week. I was

in the ER when you were brought in last

night. Just wanted to see how you're

doing. Oh, I'm fine so far. And it's so

nice to meet you. Monica's over the moon

because you took the job. She thinks it's

perfect that Steve Hardy's grandson is

gonna be the new chief of staff. Sounds

like Monica has you up to date on this

place, at least. Some of Itmaines have

been so kind to me. So they were saying

that you're moving here from Memphis? Ran

a trauma unit there for years. You must be

ready for anything. Oh, well, I guess

we'll see about that, won't we? Must be so

exciting to come back to Port Charles

after having been away for so long. Sure.

There's so much you don't know about,

especially about your little sister. And

what exactly are you planning to tell me,

brother? About me?

You want to tell me what that was about?

Or maybe you just wanted to rip her face

off. Don't tempt me. Whatever it is,

you know I'm on your side. She's just a

miserable bitch, that's all. I hate the

fact that every time I look at her, I miss

Emily even more. What I just saw

has nothing to do with missing your best

friend. And I'm guessing whatever she has

on you must be pretty good, because I

found you crying last night. You're on

edge today. I wish Rebecca had never even

heard of poor Charles. Well, maybe she

feels that way, too. But I'm concerned

about you. I don't care what she has on

you or what you've done. So when you're

ready to tell me about it, I'm ready to

help.

I just took Rebecca's statement. She was

very clear that Nicholas ran her over by

accident. Well, what do you expect her to

say to his brother, the cop.

Okay, if you're serious about this and you

want to look over the statement or discuss

it with Mac, that's fine. Maybe Rebecca's

giving you the benefit of the doubt. But

it's pretty obvious to me that you saw

Rebecca crossing the street and you

thought, hey, what a great chance to make

your life easier, so you hit the gas.

Maybe Nicholas hasn't handled the

situation with Rebecca perfectly, but he's

no murderer. You know, I was actually

starting to develop some respect for you,

Lucky. But now that you're siding with the

Kassadine over here, I guess all that's

out the window.

Look, I'm not proud of the way I treated

Rebecca, but I swear to you, Lucky,

getting over Zack said. I know. You don't

have to defend yourself, Barbara. You

haven't done anything wrong.

Hey, I apologize for walking out of me

before. It's all right. I kind of put you

on the spot. I know Elizabeth's

all grown up with children and a career.

She'll always be my little sister.

Why are you asking me to back off, Dr.

Weber? I'm just saying, when Elizabeth

says jump, all I'm gonna ask is how high.

You won't be the only one.

Look, I don't know who did what to who,

and I really don't much care. But I've

always found that the longer you hold a

grudge, the more people get hurt and not

just the person you're mad at. So now that

you've got all this time on your hands,

maybe you want to work something out with

my little sister. Or you could both do

yourselves a favor and agree to let it go.

Is this a bad time? No, no, no. I need to

get going. I'm glad you've got.

Who is that? Elizabeth's big brother,

Stephen Weber, the new chief of staff.

Yet another man who's instantly in

Elizabeth's corner. She's unbelievable.

Even, uh. Oh, are you in trouble? I don't

think so. Yeah, he's so nice.

It's hard to believe he's related to

Elizabeth. Well, I don't know how we can

get your mind off all this. Molasses,

cookies and a deck of cards.

Aw, thank you. You're the best.

Blackjack? Yeah, maybe later.

How are you really doing?

I've been thinking about my old job in

Washington state and how much it

would cost to move to France or Monte

Carlo. Basically as far away from Nicholas

as possible. Yeah, something like that.

Well, I don't understand it. I'm First

Nicholas leads you on, then he dumps you,

then he runs you down with his car. I

don't see how you can forgive him. He says

I have Jen.

See, there's the Rebecca I remember from

the bar at Kennedy. Smart and tough and

not taking anywhere. I'm definitely

starting to to feel more like myself

again. Well, that's made a serious

mistake. You know, he needs to pay. We

just need to come up with a plan.

Ethan, I don't want to send

you any mixed messages because I

care about you and I really want what's

best for you. But we're not gonna end up

together, no matter how I decide to deal

with Nicholas.

If that's what you want, I can live with

just being friends. As long as you're not

wasting time on Nicholas Castle.

How you feeling? Go away.

You're not welcome here. On the contrary.

Please come in. Nicholas, I'm so happy to

see you. But why don't you stay for a

while? I just want to tell

you again how sorry I am and unhappy to

pay for any medical bills or follow ups

that you may have. Oh, very kind. I

handled the situation poorly. I admit

that. Very moving, Nicholas.

Really, it is. But I didn't ask you to

stay so I could hear your apology. I

thought you might be interested in the

conversation that I was just having with

Ethan. I was just about to tell him why I

was so determined to see Lucky last night.
