PLACE AN ORDER

April 3, 2003
Alexis cuddles with Kristina at Wyndemere. Nikolas enters and meets his niece for the first time. Alexis tells him they arrived last night and stayed in the North Tower. Alexis, wearing a dusty rose shirt and jeans, calls her daughter Monkey before putting her down. She then tells Nikolas she wants to go out of the country and she needs him to help get them out together. Luke eavesdrops as Alexis and Nikolas discuss how she is the only one who can take care of the baby, and the plan to get them out of the country. Alexis shows up and goes to talk to Skye about whether or not there is any word yet on her daughter. Alexis tells Skye & AJ she cannot imagine the kind of people who could possibly steal a child. Skye eyes the floor. Alexis then says the baby is likely miles away by now in some cabin at the edge of the woods which is supposed to be occupied so no one thinks the lights are out of the ordinary. Ned enters. Everyone else leaves. He asks her if she took Kristina. She looks at him and tells him she hates his family for allowing this to happen and turns and leaves. Luke tells Alexis if she goes on the run not to use Cassadine money because the Cassadines and the Quartermaines travel in the same circles. She asks for more advice but Cameron shows up. He tells Alexis to stay and fight. She refuses. He tells her he'll give her a ten-minute head start before he calls the police himself.

April 4, 2003
Cameron points out the possible problems if Alexis leaves the country and gets caught. Luke tries to reassure them both but Cameron's concerns are valid. Cameron and Luke are discussing what Alexis' options are. They then talk about the difficulties of either choice she makes. Nikolas enters and says that if she wants to leave she has to do it now. Alexis agrees to return the baby. Luke and Nikolas make her a standing offer to help if she needs it. She leaves with Cameron. Alexis, Cameron and Kristina mill about. Alexis says goodbye to the baby and gives her to Cameron, but not before getting him to promise they will have a session at the hospital later. Alexis opens the door to Cameron's cabin and sees him with the baby. She tells him he is a good man as he hands her to her mother. Alexis moves closer to Cameron.

April 7, 2003
Alexis tells Cameron she never slept so well in her life. Her cell phone rings and Cameron suggests she should answer it. Jax tells her to bring the baby back. Alexis hands the phone to Cameron who tells Jax to meet him at the hospital; all will be explained there. Jax and Skye question Cameron about Alexis' whereabouts. Cameron tells them he has her in intensive therapy which might result in getting rid of the other personality altogether but she cannot be disturbed while she is in the middle of it. Skye makes a disparaging remark about Alexis and Cameron puts her in her place. Alexis holds Kristina and tells her that Cameron is a pretty nice guy, and that they ought to do something to show their appreciation. She tells her to leave the talking to her; she can just smile. Kristina is crying. Cameron returns. He takes the baby when Alexis offers her. He rubs her back for a couple seconds and the crying ceases. Alexis thanks him and asks how he learned how to do that. He says he learned from his two sons. Alexis and Cameron watch Kristina. She tells him he has a way with babies. He tells her babies are easy; it just gets harder when they grow up.

April 9, 2003
Fully-clothed, Alexis and Cameron wake up from under a blanket where they have fallen asleep together. Kristina cries and Alexis rises to go get her. Cameron discerns Kristina is suffering from an ear infection and takes off to write a prescription and get it filled for her. Cameron walks into Kelly's. He sees Zander. Zander waves him over and he meets Emily. Zander introduces him to Emily as his father. Scotty Baldwin and a police officer come in and tap Cameron on the shoulder just after Elizabeth hands him his order. Cameron is arrested and Scott says he wants to know where Alexis and the baby are. Cameron looks at Zander and then pointedly at the medication on the table in front of him. Alexis rocks the baby and sings to her and tells her that Cameron is going to bring the medication to make her better.

April 10, 2003
Alexis rocks the crying baby and says everything will be OK when Cameron comes back. At Kelly's, Zander answers Cameron's cell phone. Alexis tells him immediately without him asking that Cameron left to get medication for the baby. Zander says he has the medication and when Alexis mentions a cabin he knows just where it is. He wants to leave but Emily wants to alert Ned. Alexis opens the cabin door to find Emily and Zander. She and Emily hug. Emily then starts talking about all the pain & suffering the Qs went through at her hands since the kidnapping began. Alexis tries to defend herself. Alexis tells Emily how she ended up at the cabin. She then announces she will turn herself in rather than allow Cameron to stay in jail for helping her. At the PCPD Alexis and Zander walk in. Scott realizes he cannot hold anyone. Cameron asks Alexis if everything is OK and she tells him Zander came through for all of them. Emily tells Alexis that she knows if Kristina could talk, she would want to spend one more night with her mom. She agrees, as does Zander, that Alexis can keep her for one more night.

April 11, 2003
Cameron looks at the deer's head mounted on the wall of the cabin. He has a flashback of his son Pete's death, and of how he immediately accused Zander of killing him. Alexis asks Cameron what is wrong. She tells Cameron he needs to do whatever is necessary to fix things with his son. She say she cannot imagine any parent being willingly separated from their child. Cameron thinks it is too late. Zander walks in. Zander is surprised that Cameron told Alexis that this is the five-year anniversary of Pete's death. Zander is even more surprised when Alexis tells him she knows it was an accident, and that he and his father need to resolve their feelings about it so that the two of them can move forward, together. Alexis defends Cameron's actions to Zander. Cameron remains silent. Zander leaves. Alexis turns on Cameron and berates him for not standing up in his own defense. He counters by saying he knows it's pointless - Zander has already made up his mind about things and it's just too late to keep trying. Emily rushes into the cabin to find Alexis and Kristina alone. She tells her that she is sorry, but Ned was so worried, blah blah blah. Ned comes rushing in, sees Alexis with the baby and says, "How could you do this to me?" Alexis looks perturbed.

April 12, 2003
Alexis gets Emily to take Kristina in the next room. Ned berates her. Emily listens as Alexis tells Ned the entire truth. When she is finished, Ned tells her that he has nothing to say to her; he has no use for her; there is nothing stopping him from going to the police and reporting the kidnappers for who they are, including her. Ned coldly informs Alexis that she is clearly a very sick woman for whom he has no sympathy. He then says that Dr. Lewis is not doing any good for her. Cameron comes in to overhear the last bit and he tells Ned he did the best thing for Alexis in the situation. Cameron asks Ned why he is treating Alexis like someone who is fixated upon raising someone else's child, when that is clearly not the case. He then tells him if he returns Kristina to the Qs then Edward will have everything he needs to keep Alexis from her daughter forever. Emily then announces she will take the baby back. Emily says that she is the only person with nothing to lose if things go wrong when returning the baby. Zander comes in and overhears; he says he will go with her to take the baby back. Ned apologizes for the harsh things he said to Alexis. She thanks him for not going to the police and then tells him she hasn't exactly been a paragon of reason lately. She leans into him and puts her arm around him as a gesture of comfort while Cameron watches, unobserved by Ned or Alexis.

April 15, 2003
At the PCPD Alexis comes in with Cameron & Ned. Zander and Emily are brought in, handcuffed. Monica wants the handcuffs taken off of Emily. Scotty says he is glad everyone is there. Alan finds it curious that Emily showed up back in Port Charles on the day the baby was kidnapped. Emily gives a very sketchy scenario for how they got the baby back. Scott wants to arrest Emily & Zander. Everyone begins fighting when Alexis pipes up, "Emily didn't take Kristina: I did." She tells everyone that while she kidnapped Kristina, she wasn't the first to do it. Skye & AJ had her first. She took her back to the Quartermaines where she heard Edward threatening to keep Alexis from the baby permanently. Alexis says she took her just to spend a little time with her before returning her. She says she acted alone. The Quartermaines insist she was planning on leaving the country; Ned says if she had wanted to do that, she would have. She insists she acted alone. Scott says he will not arrest Zander & Emily, but because Alexis had a court order to stay away from her daughter, he is arresting her. Alexis is led away in handcuffs. Alan embraces Emily and tells her she is the only member of the family who put Kristina first. Edward threatens Cameron but Cameron threatens him right back. He tells Edward he better get all charges dropped against Alexis.

April 16, 2003
Cameron tells Edward that he knows that he set the gatehouse fire & that he made illegal contributions to Scott's election campaign and that he is going to drop all charges, allow Alexis visiting rights and give Ned veto power. He then calls Scott over because Edward has something to say. Alexis is brought out. Scotty gives a few flimsy excuses as to why, and Mac says they should concentrate on the real criminals anyway. Everyone disperses and Alexis, with a smile on her face, asks Cameron how she managed to wrangle that. Alexis and the Qs bring the baby home. Skye talks to Kristina and Alexis tells her she wants her nowhere near her daughter. Everyone goes into a different room and Ned tells Alexis they should join them. They walk into the room with Ned's hand on her shoulder. Cameron watches them walk away. Alexis says goodnight to the baby. She makes Ned promise to look after her. Ned agrees to do so. In the foyer, Cameron helps Alexis on with her coat. He then hands her a paper copy of what he used to threaten Edward & Scotty with -- for her records. She thanks him by leaning up and pressing a soft kiss into his lips. Cameron pulls her back for another kiss. He then releases her without a word and makes his way quickly out the front door as Alexis stays behind.

April 21, 2003
At the hospital, Luke tears up the papers Alexis drew up keeping him and Lucky away from Nik. Luke says she should choose her battles wisely. She suggests she might just be on his side. Luke and Alexis argue about why Nik did what he did. Luke tells Alexis that his rage is different from hers. He has been fighting his entire life for everything he got; she did something violent one time, one night. Therefore, she knows nothing about his kind of rage. He says that if there is going to be another Cassadine/Spencer war, Nik started it, but he's ready. At the Qs, Jax tells Alexis that she committed a crime and "all that resulted was her losing temporary custody of her daughter to her relatives." He tells her that Skye was only trying to help, and that she just needs to relax. She looks at him askance and says, somewhat sarcastically that she will work on it. She leaves the room and Skye thanks Jax for defending her.

April 30, 2003
At the hospital, Alexis and Cameron talk. He tells her that he spoke to the judge and so far so good in terms of her supervised visitation with Kristina. He tells her that he will not cover for her if she pulls another stunt. Nikolas pulls Alexis aside and tells her he needs her to act like a Cassadine. Cameron informs Nik that Alexis doesn't need to become embroiled in a Cassadine/Spencer war, as it could affect her chances to get Kristina back. Nikolas turns this around to insinuate that Cameron is telling Alexis to choose between them. Nik takes off. Alexis tells Cameron she's not sure when he became in charge of her life. Cameron tells Alexis the judge will not be able to be pushed any further and if she gets into a mess with the Cassadines, she might have visitation rights revoked. Alexis doesn't want to hear it. Cameron reminds her how he gave up everything to help her and she politely thanks him and basically tells him she is
grateful but she doesn't particularly need his help anymore. Alexis and Ned watch a sleeping Kristina. Ned tells Alexis how Cameron went out on a limb for her. She wishes people would quit reminding her of that fact; there are only so many ways to thank a person. Ned suggests she might be falling for Cameron. Alexis vehemently denies it. Ned tells her Cameron is a good man; all she needs now is to flag down a semi.

May 1, 2003
Alexis peers over her menu at Cameron and the woman he's dining with. The two of them laugh about a staff meeting; she is a colleague of his. Scott enters and slaps Alexis on her behind. He then pointedly asks how many felonies she has committed within the last twenty-four hours. Cameron notices her at this point. Scott baits Alexis. She hisses at him; tries to get him to quiet down. He tells her she should order two dinners for both of her personalities. He grabs a knife and hands it to her, wondering if she will attempt to stab him again. She puts the knife down on the table. Scott says he knows that Nik's other lawyers are a smokescreen -- she is the one drawing up the restraining orders. Scott continues to threaten her. Cameron steps in and tells Scott to back off. He springs into shrink mode and asks Scotty why he is so intent on prosecuting women. He insists any woman who is not a blonde - and therefore not Laura - must be punished, in Scott's eyes. He suggests that Scott come in for therapy, or that perhaps if Gail sported a blonde wig, Scott could see her as a therapist. This successfully drives Scott off. Alexis has been giggling the whole time. She prattles on, thanking Cameron but when she turns around he has already left and gone back to sit at his table. Alexis leaves. Cameron looks back and sees Alexis has gone. Alexis tells Nik that her therapist is annoying her. Nik tells her that the Cassadine fortune is suffering. Alexis agrees to help Nik with the Cassadine financial recovery effort.

May 9, 2003
Cameron is not happy to have been called to Judge Farmer's office when he finds out it is because Alexis asked for a review of her case. Scotty shows up too and he is not happy either. Alexis tells the judge that she has been working hard on her DID treatment and she has had several successful visits with her daughter, but could benefit from more sustained contact. Cameron interjects with praise for Alexis' progress but she informs him she can speak for herself. Scott objects several different ways. Scott tells the judge that Alexis is vacillating
between sane and insane. Alexis tells the judge that's not true. Scott continues his rant. Alexis suggests while he's at it, perhaps he could suggest having her tied to a stake and burned at it. The judge says that by coming here today like this Alexis has proven she is in deep denial of her illness. The judge sends her away. She and Cameron trade insults by the elevator. Cameron has a seventeenth century fantasy about Alexis being burned at the stake for speaking
out on her beliefs. Tons of people are featured in this fantasy, including Judge Farmer. Cameron tries to save her in the fantasy but she prefers to speak for herself. She insults him so he lights the first torch. Cameron snaps back to reality as Alexis enters the filing room and closes the door thereby locking the two of them in the room together. Cameron tells Alexis he will continue to file falsified progress reports on her behalf but that is the extent of what he is willing to do for her. They tussle with words. She turns to leave and is surprised when she finds the door locked.

May 12, 2003
Alexis and Cameron remain locked inside the file room at the hospital. Cameron accuses Alexis of not being able to function as a rational adult and points out her erratic behavior with Ned. Jax finds Alexis and Cameron locked in the file room. Skye refuses to allow Alexis to see Kristina when she finally arrives at the mansion. Alexis tells Jax she doesn't want Skye anywhere near Kristina. Skye begins to bond with Kristina.
May 13, 2003
Skye tells Ned how much she adores Kristina, and how she never thought she would be the mothering type. He looks on in awe. Alexis enters and welcomes Skye to the human race -- it's hard to resist her child. Alexis tells Ned precisely why she doesn't want Skye near the baby. Ned has Skye take the baby out of the room. Alexis follows. Alexis listens as Edward discusses what a proper British butler should and should not do. She has an interesting look on her face. Alexis looks at her reflection in the mirror. She smiles and begins frantically pinning back her hair. Edward interviews several prospective butlers but they are all rejects. The last butler enters, not having been on the original list. The British butler introduces himself as Dobson.

May 14, 2003
Dobson provides remarkable references. Edward says he must pass a test before he can be hired. Dobson fails the martini test but Edward decides to hire him anyway. He introduces him to the rest of the family. Dobson receives instructions from the family. Big Alice is especially friendly. Dobson finds this off-putting. Ned shows up with the baby and asks Dobson if they've met before. The Qs discuss what Kristina's mother is like. Edward tells Dobson one of his jobs is going to be to watch Alexis like a hawk during her supervised visits. Dobson has a moment with Kristina as Alice brings her downstairs. Skye shows up. She tells Dobson all the reasons she thinks Alexis is a hypocrite and a bad mother. Ned shows up and asks Skye to read Kristina a bedtime story. Skye agrees. She goes upstairs. Dobson takes off his glasses and looks resigned.

May 15, 2003
Cameron tells Alexis he has resigned as her therapist. She is shocked and wonders why. Alexis tells Cameron she needs him. He says she can talk about it with her new therapist. She says she is late. He wonders what for. Ned wants to know why Cameron resigned from Alexis' case. He tells him and Ned wants to know how Alexis reacted to it. Ned tells Cameron that Alexis' life unraveled before the baby. Dobson enters and when Cameron says Alexis has a very real
problem, Dobson drops a tray. A montage shows Alexis' transformation into Dobson. Cameron tells Ned that Alexis will make more progress with another therapist because he has gotten too personally involved. Dobson hovers. Dobson listens and grimaces as Ned and Cameron rail about her character. Skye comes in and announces Alexis is late for her visit again. Dobson changes
out of his clothes and into Alexis in a Quartermaine bathroom. Skye tells Kristina she is very patient. She talks to her about what a bad mother Alexis is. Alexis shows up and Skye wants to know if she is wearing aftershave.

May 16, 2003
Skye and Alexis have words. Ned shows up and says it is like Dobson is right in the room with them. Alexis looks guilty and Skye looks curious. Alexis is told by Skye that Kristina prefers the lamby instead of the toy Alexis chose. Edward bellows for Dobson. Alexis takes off and asks Ned if she can tack the rest of her visit onto next week's visit. At the Qs, Dillon calls Dobson "Dobs", and sticks up for him. Emily sticks up for him too. The Qs decide to let him stay. Afterwards
Dobson takes a moment to thank Emily privately. Emily seems pleased to have made Dobson's acquaintance. Emily and Dobson bond as Emily tells Dobson a brief history of the craziness of the Qs. She tells him he looks familiar. At the Qs Alexis grabs a moment alone with Kristina. She is whispering to her in her pram when Ned shows up and wants to know what Dobson is doing with the baby.

May 19, 2003
Dobson tells Ned she would be happy to watch the baby if he wants to go after Emily. He says no. Dobson asks Ned why Kristina is not allowed to spend more time with her mother. Dobson recounts to Ned a sad tale of Marianne, a young girl whose father he served many years ago. Motherless Marianne's life fell apart because she had no female role models and support and she would hate to have the same fate befall young Kristina. Ned is thoughtful. Ned tells Dobson that he has Kristina's best interest at heart. Dobson checks his service and listens to Cameron's message. Dobson is about to leave when Edward catches him with the cell phone and asks what is up now. Dobson overhears a phone call Ned makes to Alexis' voicemail telling her he is thinking of extending her parental visits past what the courts will allow. Edward hates the idea. Ned tells Skye he is worried about the growing attachment between her and Kristina. In front of Dobson, Skye tells Ned she will never, ever go away because she loves Kristina. Ned thanks Skye for being part of Kristina's life. Big Alice brings Kristina downstairs and Skye soothes her. Dobson, tearing up, leaves and runs smack-dab into Cameron outside who doesn't miss the tears.

May 20, 2003
Cameron tells Dobson how much trouble Alexis is in for having missed another court-appointed therapy session and that if it gets reported to the judge she might lose custody of Kristina permanently. Ned and Cameron talk about Alexis. Alexis shows up. Ned tells her that he changed his mind about changing the court-appointed visiting schedule because it would upset Kristina's routine. Alexis then quotes verbatim words that Skye said to Ned about Kristina, when the only people in the room were Ned, Skye & Dobson. Ned wants to know how she knew. Cameron's interest is piqued too. Ned tells Alexis that Skye might have done bad things in the past but she has been great with Kristina. Alexis tells him that she has repeatedly asked Ned to keep Skye away from her daughter. Ned tells her that it's really not her place to say who spends time with the baby at the moment. Alexis reminds him the arrangement is temporary. Alexis and Cameron stand in the foyer as Edward begins bellowing for Dobson.

May 21, 2003
Emily tells Dobson about what kind of picnic she wants with Zander. Dobson gives great advice. Emily leaves the room and is happy when Zander shows up. Meanwhile, Skye tells Dobson she wants a similar idea for her and Ned -- only a romantic dinner, not a lunch. Dobson looks perturbed. Skye and Ned head off to read Kristina a bedtime story. Dobson enters the room where dinner is set up and drops pepper all over Skye's salad and then takes the gloves off and mixes it in.

May 22, 2003
Dobson shakes the bottle of champagne as Skye asks him to pour Ned a glass. The cork pops off and Skye gets drenched. Skye tells Ned what a crappy year she'd been having until he gave her the gift of allowing her unlimited access to his precious baby girl. Dobson tries not to gag. Skye takes a bite of her salad and finds it covered in pepper. Dobson "helps" by slapping her on the back after she chokes. Ned says if he didn't know better, he'd swear Dobson was trying to
sabotage their special evening together. Ned wants Dobson to apologize to Skye. Dobson pointedly refers to Skye as his cousin, but Ned corrects him. Dobson apologizes and then leaves. Skye and Ned make goo goo eyes at one another and she picks up his hand and asks him if she makes him feel threatened in any way. Ned and Skye, alone, nearly kiss. Alexis rushes in to
interrupt. She wants to look in on Kristina but Ned doesn't think it's a good idea. She reminds him of the time she put in at the hospital when the baby lay near death but Ned still refuses to let her see her own daughter. Alexis leaves. The baby starts to cry and Ned takes off to tend to her, leaving Skye not kissed and not happy about it. Skye comes downstairs holding Kristina. She tells the baby that it was good of her to stop crying when she picked her up. She tells her that if they play their cards right, perhaps Kristina will be calling her Mommy one day. From the shadows Dobson listens in horror to Skye's conversation.

May 26, 2003
Dobson goes in to close Emily's window. Emily asks Dobson if his mother is still alive. Dobson says she died when he was eight. Emily says she has been thinking about her own mother a lot lately. Emily tells Dobson what her mother was like. Dobson reassures Emily that her mother lives on in her. Emily seems somewhat comforted. The Qs refuse to allow Zander to see Emily. Dillon defends Zander's right to see his girlfriend. Dobson and Emily hover, unseen, listening to the conversation. Zander leaves. Edward announces that Little Kristina will never be allowed near people like Zander. Dobson looks on. Dobson overhears Skye and Ned talking about Kristina's future. Ned leaves with the baby. Dobson mentions to Skye that Kristina misses her mother. Skye says no. Dobson says every child needs her mother. Skye says every child needs a mother - but that Kristina's biological one is a real mess. Dobson takes a few seconds longer than necessary to release Kristina's toys when Skye makes a grab for them. Dobson opens the door and finds Judge Farmer in front of her. She tells the judge that Ned is not around. The judge says Skye called over a week ago to set up a meeting. Skye shows up and ushers the judge into the living room. Skye conspiratorially informs her that Alexis' behavior has been
erratic; she is frequently late for her visits with Kristina, and that this is hurting Kristina. Alexis should be barred at all costs.

May 27, 2003
Skye says Alexis' behavior is increasingly erratic. She says that Kristina cries every time Alexis sees her, and that Alexis demands visits at all hours of the day and night and refuses to follow the court schedule. Skye dismisses Dobson and then asks the judge if Ned's chances at full custody would be better if he were married. Dobson looks on in horror. Judge Farmer tells Skye that she is glad so many people care about Kristina. She leaves. Ned comes down the stairs and
Skye lies about who was visiting. She then suggests that she and Kristina join a Mommy & me swim class. Skye goes upstairs. Dobson tells Ned that every word out of Skye's mouth was a lie. Ned berates Dobson for eavesdropping. He says it is a tradition of Quartermaine family members but not of butlers. Skye eavesdrops and listens to Dobson tell Ned the truth. Dobson is dismissed. Skye thanks Ned for being so understanding about the judge. Ned tells her she had no right to do what she did. Ned tells Skye she had no right to call the judge. Skye said she cannot risk Alexis getting full custody of Kristina because then she
would never see her anymore. She then tells Ned she cannot have children of her own. Ned tells Skye as long as he is involved with Kristina, she will be. She says it is odd she feels so bonded to someone else's child and Ned says he understands. Skye then leaves the room and fires Dobson. Edward puts Skye in her place with Dobson and informs Skye that she will not fire anyone. Skye then tells Dobson one day she will make sure Dobson has to leave. Dobson invites Skye to try.

May 28, 2003
Big Alice tells Alexis and little Kristina that she is having man problems - she has a thing for Dobson. Alexis does her best to point out all of Dobson's flaws. Cameron shows up and asks Alexis to go down to the PCPD to see if she can do something about Zander's arrest. She tells him she just got there for her visit with Kristina but Cameron says Zander needs her now. At the PCPD, Alexis tells Scott how to do his job. Nikolas shows up with the bail money for Zander. Emily smiles. Scott looks angry. Cameron thanks Alexis for taking time away from her child to help him with his. Alexis tells him if it were not for him she would not be seeing her child at all. She says she has to leave. He asks where she is going - she has no job. Dobson returns to the Qs. She finds a candlelit dinner. Alice enters the room and tells Dobson it's just the two of them for this evening. Dobson is stricken. Big Alice comes on to Dobson in a big way. Dobson tries to get away but Big Alice can't take a hint. Dobson is pinned between a rock and a hard place. Alice puts her hand on Dobson's knee and it inches upwards. Dobson again looks stricken.

May 29, 2003
Alice and Dobson play a game of "chase you around the table." Dobson finds himself dipped by Alice. Dobson tells Alice there is someone else. Alice listens intently as Dobson tells Alice the sad story about how he is always attracted to dark-haired, dark-eyed criminals that he tries to change but simply cannot. Alice is sympathetic. Alice pulls Dobson on top of her. Dobson is trying to get away. Cameron shows up to see Skye. Alice takes off. Cameron calls Dobson Alexis. Dobson looks stricken. Cameron and Dobson stare silently at one another after his big reveal. Skye comes charging into the room like a bull in a china shop and eyes the dinner. She asks who ordered it. Dobson says he cannot say. Skye says she wants to know -- perhaps it was done by Ned to make up for the dinner that Dobson ruined. Skye asks Cameron if he can keep a secret. Cameron says he is great at keeping secrets under the right circumstances. Skye says it is about Alexis. Cameron looks intrigued. Skye tells Cameron that Alexis has done some crazy things. Cameron points out some of the recent nutty actions of Skye. She tries a different tack; she tells him that she wants Kristina to live at the Qs forever -- and that Cameron needs to go to Judge Farmer to get Alexis' visitation rescinded before she does something they cannot even conceive of. Dobson listens to all of this. Skye is angry when Cameron does not support her. She leaves. Dobson enters and asks how long Cameron has known. He says he has known since day 1. She tells him that all the Qs are out to keep her away from the baby; this plan is working so far, but she needs his help. He says if he were to help her, he would be as crazy as she is. Cameron agrees to help Dobson. Dobson throws his arms around Cameron and kisses him full on the lips. Zander passes by the window, looks in, and sees Dobson leap up and kiss his father fully on the lips. Zander is stunned.

May 30, 2003
Edward screams for Dobson. Dobson, knowing it's Luke, asks Alice to cover for him; he is on an errand for Lila anyway. Skye arrives home and berates AJ for siccing Janine on Courtney. AJ leaves. Skye then tells Ned how horrible it was for Courtney when Janine embarrassed her, and that she had a vision of Kristina in many years with Alexis embarrassing her. Ned tells Skye that Kristina has him, and her. Ned and Skye kiss as Dobson looks on.

June 2, 2003
At Wyndemere, Alexis tells Nikolas it would be better for him to get Stefan to help him save the family fortune -- it's a little much for her. Skye and AJ set up the hidden video camera in the living room. Ned returns with the baby. Alexis shows up. Skye suggests they leave them alone. Ned wonders why Skye is suddenly willing to do that. Skye and Ned agree to leave Alexis alone with the baby. Alexis kisses Kristina and then remarks that she's given her a lipstick kiss. She tells her daughter she would do backwards handsprings to be with her, and that she has no idea the lengths she's gone to in order to be with her. Later, Alice says to Dobson that the baby was overstimulated after her mother's visit. She leaves Dobson alone in the room with the camera. Dobson removes his mustache so that Kristina will know it's her mother.

June 3, 2003
Dobson notices Kristina has spiked a temp. Skye enters the room and wonders what Dobson is doing there. Skye enters the room and asks Dobson what he is doing with the baby. Dobson says the baby has a fever. Skye takes the baby, concerned, and says she will go get Monica to look at her. Skye then whispers to Kristina that she understands if Dobson scares her -- she scares Skye too. Dobson leaves, upset. Dobson is about to rip off his disguise when AJ enters the room with Skye and Kristina. Alexis shows up. Skye tells AJ to call the police. Alexis says her daughter has a fever. Skye wants to know how she knew. Skye doesn't believe Alexis when she says that she knew about the fever because Kristina's cheeks were red. Alexis says it was her instinct as a mother. Skye insults this. Alexis tells her she never deserves to be a mother. Skye slaps and threatens her- Alexis leaves. In the hallway, Alexis rubs her cheek and reflects. Dobson enters the living room to find Monica with an empty baby carriage. She announces the child is fine. Dobson overhears AJ and Skye talking about the nanny cam. He eavesdrops as he hears them discussing how Skye hopes there is evidence on it to convict Alexis. Skye and AJ search through the tape as Dobson eavesdrops. The tape freezes on the part where Dobson removes his mustache.

June 4, 2003
Skye and AJ leave the living room without seeming to have caught Dobson on tape. Alice says that Dobson squealed because she patted him on the back. Dobson suggests he heard Ms. Davis. Dobson enters the living room quickly, shuts off the tape and picks it up and suggests she tell Ned about it. Ned shows up. Skye admits she put a nanny cam in the living room. Ned takes the tape from Dobson and destroys it. Dobson is dismissed. AJ accuses Ned of not being too bright. Ned accuses Skye of doing dumb things. Ned tells Skye it's not her place to try to get Alexis' visiting privileges revoked. Skye says she hopes it doesn't come to that. Ned says once Alexis recovers they will share custody because a child can never have too much love. AJ catches Dobson eavesdropping. Dobson tells AJ he could have a civil suit brought against AJ for the hidden camera business. AJ says when he finds out what Dobson wants, he hopes it's enough to get him kicked to the curb.
