[Jake cries]
[Echoes]
Elizabeth: Jake? Jake, I'm coming, Jake!
[Elizabeth gasps]
Sam: It's okay, it's okay. It was just a dream -- you were having a bad dream.
Elizabeth: Why are you here?
Sam: To make peace.
=====
Mac: A psychological profile of Detective Barrett is already emerging -- a loner who may have been involved in criminal activity -- something our own screening process missed. You can bet that will be looked into.
Reporter: How does it feel that your daughter's killer won't be brought to justice?
Mac: He's facing a higher justice.
Mayor Floyd: All right, ladies and gentlemen, no more questions. Thank you very much for coming. Good night.
Lucky: Mac --
Mac: What kind of question was that? I mean, what did -- what did she expect me to say?
Lucky: I'll make sure it never happens again.
Mac: That I wish I would've killed the son of a b**** myself? Yeah, I wish I had, Lucky. I brought him into this department.
Lucky: Mac, don't do this to yourself.
Mac: He killed my daughter.
Lucky: It's over. Mac, it's over.
=====
Sam: I just wanted to apologize because I think that Lucky and I should've probably talked to you and -- and made it very clear about how far things have progressed with us as a couple -- I mean, that we're actually together now.
Elizabeth: I'm not following -- what are you apologizing for?
Sam: Come on, Elizabeth -- the whole unpleasant scene when you walked in and found me baby-sitting. I think it could've been avoided. I screwed up. I screwed up big-time and I am going to have to live with that for the rest of my life, but I care about Lucky, more -- more than I ever realized or thought I would and -- and I care about those kids, I care about what's best for them, and I think that it might be best for all of us to start working together. I'm just -- I'm asking you to maybe let go of the past, to maybe start thinking about letting me be a part of the kids' lives. I just --
Elizabeth: If you think I will ever let you be alone with my children again after what you did, you are out of your mind.
=====
Elizabeth: You're not going near Jason’s son, near either of my children ever.
Sam: What am I supposed to say? What, what, I'm supposed to say, "Sorry, Lucky. I can't be alone with your kids, but don't ask me to explain why"? How am I supposed to share my life with him? I'm not -- I guess that's the point.
Elizabeth: Because I can't trust you.
Sam: Or maybe because you can't be with Jason, because you can't stand the fact that I could actually find some happiness. You know what, Elizabeth? You would actually be punishing Lucky, too, all because I was so desperate to hold on to Jason because I was out of my mind with jealousy that you had given him the one thing I couldn’t. I had a lapse.
Elizabeth: A "lapse"?
Sam: Yes, a lapse. I did a terrible thing, I was at bottom. I actually have a chance with a decent guy right now, so I am asking you, I am begging you to let this go. Let Lucky get on with his life so he -- so he can actually have somebody that treats him decent.
Elizabeth: Oh, you mean lie to him? Because that's what you've been doing all along.
Sam: Okay, that's fair enough. I know this all started out as a way to get back at you and Jason, but something happened, something changed between Lucky and I, something I cannot explain but --
Elizabeth: You were able to keep him from seeing what you really are. Do you really believe that I could ever trust you again with my children after what you did?
Sam: It must be nice knowing that whatever you say, people will just accept it. No one will ever wonder if there's more to the story.
Elizabeth: If you're suggesting that this is in some way my fault --
Sam: No, you're just going along, living your life and terrible people inflict themselves on you -- Ric, Lucky, me. And you suffer and you suffer beautifully but ultimately, in the end, you emerge untarnished. Yeah, the town saint.
Elizabeth: I am raising two kids by myself, Sam. And when I am not working my days consist of doing laundry, changing diapers, and cleaning up puke -- not to mention the fact that Cameron’s best friend taught him it was really cool to play with matches and he almost burned down the house with Jake in it. You think I planned all this to retain my title as town saint? Guess again.
Sam: Elizabeth, what are you going to do?
Elizabeth: I'm going to stay here until my leg heals and then I'm going to go home to my saintly duties.
Sam: Come on, you know what I mean.
Elizabeth: What am I going to do about you?
Sam: Yes.
Elizabeth: As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed.
=====
Jerry: Do you really believe the only reason I'm here is because of a pier? You don't believe I could really be attracted to you?
Sam: Oh -- I, um -- I didn't realize --
Jerry: Ah, it's -- it's all right. I was -- I just was accompanying your mother from the press conference. I -- I was leaving. Be careful.
Alexis: Are you all right?
Sam: I don't know.
Lucky: I overheard your conversation with Sam -- not all of it, but enough. I want the truth. What else is Sam keeping from me?
=====
>> On the next "General Hospital" --
Lucky: What did Sam do that's got you so worried?
Jason: You asked Kate to marry you, she said no, and you disappeared.
Sonny: How do you know that?
Carly: Do you remember the good news that I wanted you to come home to?
Jax: You're pregnant?
