"I Want You to be Happy, Wherever Your Heart Leads You"

Alexis: Out for a stroll?

Carly: Who are you, the new groundskeeper?

Alexis: Why are you on the Quartermaine property? You hate the Quartermaines.

Carly: I don't explain myself to you, Alexis.

Alexis: Carly, let Sonny handles Courtney in his own way. He told you himself that he wanted to handle --

Carly: Well, talk about obvious -- you hate the idea that I might actually help Sonny, don't you?

Alexis: It's your help that he doesn't want.

Carly: Where do you get off speaking for Sonny? You cannot stand the fact that he might be grateful to me and not you.

Alexis: Carly, I'm not going to go there with you. Let's stick to the issue at hand. Don't take matters into your own hands. Oh. You already have, haven't you?

Alexis: What have you done? You've done something obviously.

Carly: Oh, and you are obviously jumping to conclusions to make you appear right and me crazy. What else is new?

Alexis: Carly, if you want to prove something, then this isn't the way.

Carly: This isn't about proving anything to Sonny. This is about loving him and helping him. It is about Sonny and I looking after each other no matter what has happeNed between us.

Alexis: Implicit in everything you've just said is an admission that you've done something.

Carly: All right, fine. I came to search the grounds.

Alexis: Search for what?

Carly: For A.J. and Courtney. What else? Look, no one has been able to track where that helicopter went after it left the hospital, so I thought maybe it landed here. I mean, this place is so huge, who would ever know?

Alexis: Alan ordered the helicopter for A.J. and Courtney. He said he took them to J.F.K.

Carly: And you believe him?

Alexis: Ned assured me that he was telling the truth.

Carly: And what if they're lying to Ned, too? Alan already admitted that he helped A.J. and Courtney gets out of the hospital. I mean, who's to say he stopped there? Edward's got to be loving every minute of this because he would do anything to help A.J. drive Sonny crazy just for spite. Come on, it's not that delusional.

Alexis: It does make some sense.

Carly: Oh, get over yourself, Alexis. I had a good idea -- admit it.

Alexis: You had a good idea.

Carly: Thank you.

Alexis: We have to make sure that we don't make this worse and have this cost Sonny his sister altogether.

Carly: Well, why do you think I'm here? Look, whatever happens and whoever gets hurt, Sonny is the one who's going to end up paying for it and neither you nor I want that to happen.

Alexis: No.

Carly: Ok, so why don't we check this out? Why don't you check the main house and conservatory, and I'll check the gardener's shed and the boat shed and places like that, ok?

Ned: Come on in.

Alexis: Am I interrupting? I'm sorry.

Jax: No, actually, we were -- we were through. I got what I came for, so I'll leave you to it.

Ned: Yes.

Alexis: Yes what?

Ned: You asked me a question. I'm giving you the answer -- yes, I can be trusted.

Alexis: Do you think it's possible that Alan is hiding A.J. and Courtney on the property?

Ned: Alan said they took a helicopter to Kennedy.

Alexis: Well, maybe he's lying. I mean, he's the one that got them away in the first place.

Ned: He's not lying and he's not hiding A.J. and Courtney on the property. Ok? My family is genuinely concerned that A.J. has gone too far. And actually, so am I. I mean, his intentions are completely out of whack, but I certainly don't want him to die for it.

Alexis: You're being very reasonable.

Ned: Well, Kristina reminded me that this isn't about Sonny and A.J. It's actually about a 20-year-old girl who has no idea what she's getting into. I was actually ready to ignore the whole situation. Kristina reminded me that I -- I couldn't.

Alexis: She has a way about her, doesn't she?

Ned: Yes, she does.

Alexis: I can see that she makes you happy.

Ned: There's something that I need to say to you, something you need to hear.

Ned: I want you to be happy, wherever your heart leads you.

Alexis: Ok.

Ned: And if I happen to find A.J., I'll be sure to let you know and you do the same for me and together, if we work together, maybe we can put a stop to this.

Alexis: I think that's called gatekeeping.

Ned: Yes. Yes, it is. And we used to be pretty good at gatekeeping back in our day. Maybe we can bring A.J. and Courtney back here before Sonny finds him, ok?

Alexis: It's a deal.
