"Let Me Have My Little Girl"

Alexis arrives at the 4th floor nurses' station, stuffed toy lamb in her arms.

Alexis: Hi, Bobbie.

Bobbie: (Turns around) Oh, hi.

Alexis: Well, I'm not usually susceptible to stuffed animals, but I couldn't resist this in the gift shop. Is Kristina ready? I'm going to take her home.

Bobbie: Oh -- there's been a change in plans.

Alexis: Is she all right? Why didn't somebody call me?

Bobbie: No -- the baby's doing fine. That's not the problem.

Alexis: Why can't I take her home?

Cameron walks up behind Alexis.

Bobbie: Doctor's orders.

Alexis: What doctor?

Alexis senses someone behind her and glances out of the corner of her eye.

Cameron: Me.

She turns around slowly and glares at him.

Felicia and Skye meet out in front of some brownstones.

Felicia: I'm sorry I haven't returned your calls. I've been very busy --

Skye: You have asked for time and I have given it to you, ok, but I just found out that Scott Baldwin is about to arrest me for Alcazar's murder at any moment. Now, I have to tell him that it was Alexis that I saw running from the suite that night.

Felicia: You can't. I found a new suspect.

Faith interrupts Sonny and Carly on the docks. She isn't happy that he sent Jason to threaten her. He tells her, "You act like a man, you have to expect to be treated like a man."

Felicia: The new suspect is just a lead, but I'm closing in.

Skye: Yeah, well, in the meantime, there's a prison van idling outside my front door, and I'm not too enthusiastic about doing time for a crime I didn't commit.

Felicia: Neither were Jason and Brenda. Now, listen, you have to be very careful. You have already falsely accused one person. If you accuse Alexis without any proof, you will get yourself convicted.

Skye: Yeah, what if that's Alexis' plan?

Felicia: If Alexis is the killer, she could've let the conviction against Jason and Brenda stand, and she didn't. She's not going to let you pay for the crime, either.

Skye: How do I know that, huh? How do I know she's not using this time to set me up? And how do I know that you're not helping her?

Felicia: Because you trust Jax, and Jax has put his trust in me.

Skye: What does Jax think about this new suspect?

Felicia: Well, he doesn't know yet. I need to get some more details, and then the three of us will meet and decide what to do next.

Skye: Yeah, well, if Alexis isn't the killer, the police will clear her, ok?

Felicia: And you're going to look even more guilty for pointing the finger at other people and accusing them. Now, listen to me. Jax is a good friend of yours and he wants to help you, but it just so happens that he's a good friend of Alexis', too. I believe it will better serve you if you just let me work through
this lead. Please, before you accuse Alexis.

Skye: Work fast.

Felicia: I will.

Skye walks away and Felicia's cell phone rings. She answers it and listens.

Felicia: Thank you for calling me back. We need to meet.

Alexis: I appreciate your concern, I really do. But you know that my daughter would be fine with me. I have her room ready. She's healthy enough to go home.

Cameron: Alexis, I know your intentions are good.

Alexis: She's spent enough time in this hospital. She needs to go home with her mother, Cameron, and I need to have her home with me.

Cameron: Alexis, I can't let you take your baby home. You're too unstable.

Alexis: Define "stable."

Cameron: Someone who doesn't lose time or manifest alternate personalities.

Alexis: (She starts to panic and breath hard) You're holding my daughter hostage, and that isn't fair. You know that I would never hurt her.

Cameron: I know you would never intend to.

Alexis: You're blackmailing me into therapy, Cameron. It -- you can't do that.

Cameron: Alexis, I'm trying to help you.

Alexis: (Raising her voice) Then let me have my little girl.

Bobbie and some other staff look over at her. Cameron takes her by the arm and leads her over to the lounge where they sit down.

Cameron: No matter how much you love your daughter, Alexis, in your present condition you pose a threat to her safety.

We hear gentle chimes and Alexis' demeanor changes from panic to determination.

Alexis: (As Kristina) You aren't trying to help. You're trying to keep a mother from her child, and that isn't right. I am not going to let you keep my sister from her baby.

Cameron: Kristina? Why are you here?

Alexis: (As Kristina) Because my sister needs me.

Cameron: Why?

Alexis: Because she needs her baby, and she needs you to leave her alone. And if you don't --

Cameron: What? What if I don't leave her alone?

Alexis: I'll find a way to stop you myself.

Felicia meets Scotty outside some brownstones. She has a file in her hands.

Scott: Felicia, I'm here. I hope you're not wasting my time. What's the development here in the Alcazar case?

Felicia: Try to keep an open mind. I'm going to help you not make a mistake this time.

Scott: Oh, let me guess. Now, either Jax or Alexis or both have hired you to clear whatever client that she's representing right now, or whichever one of Jax's ex-wives is the prime suspect.

Felicia: I think whoever plotted Alcazar's murder did the world a huge favor.

Scott: Well, I happen to know that Skye Chandler Quartermaine Jacks -- whatever she's going by -- did it. And she perjured herself and blamed Jason and Brenda so she could cover herself up here. And if you're trying to stall this whole thing, then forget about it.

Felicia: No --

Scott: You're wasting my --

Felicia: I'm not. I'm trying to tell you that I have found the real killer.

Felicia: I did some digging into the women in Alcazar's life, and it turns out that he had a housekeeper in South America. She started with him when she was very young and worked with him for several years. He openly slept with her until he brought Brenda home, and then he dumped the housekeeper. The housekeeper tried to quit, but he wouldn't let her. He threatened to hurt her family if she left.

Scott: So wait a minute. So he was flaunting Brenda in front of this housekeeper that he was sleeping with?

Felicia: Yes. And it turns out that she dropped out of sight the day before Alcazar was murdered.

Scott: How did you find this out?

Felicia: Her name kept coming up in the material I was looking in to Alcazar. Oh, and guess what -- she's 5'6" with dark hair. So she had motive and she had access to the victim.

Scott: She also had a grudge against Brenda, so why would she come out of the woodwork to set Brenda's conviction aside?

Felicia: Ok, Scott. I mean, if you don't want to pursue this with me, I'll be happy to do this on my own.

Scott: Wait a minute. I'm just asking -- where's this housekeeper now?

Felicia: Well, that's just it, that's where the trail goes cold. She was missing the day after Alcazar was dead. So, that's what I'm asking you -- can you stall arresting Skye while I find more information on this woman?

Scott takes the file from her.

Scott: Cold case now, huh? I'll handle this, all right. Listen, I don't want to make another conviction on the wrong person again. I'll put Taggert on this and we'll get to the bottom of it. If you don't trust me, Felicia, then what the hell did you call me for?

Felicia: I just want you to know that if this comes up missing, I've made copies.

Scott: Let me ask you this -- what's all your sudden interest in Skye all about here?

Felicia: She's a client. Honestly, I don't care who killed Alcazar. I just don't want the wrong person paying for it.

Cameron: I'm trying to help Alexis, just like you are.

Alexis: (As Kristina) You're trying to keep my sister from her baby, and that just isn't right. They were doing much better before you came here.

Cameron: If it weren't for me, Alexis and her baby might've died in the park in the snow.

Alexis: We appreciate that, Cameron, but if you want to help them now, you need to go away. And if you don't, I will find a way to get rid of you myself.

Cameron: Why would you want to threaten me? I wouldn't try to take her daughter.

Alexis gets a confused look on her face.

Alexis: (As Herself) What?

Cameron: Alexis?

She stares at him startled and confused. She looks over toward the nurses' station and then stands up clutching the lamb in her hands. He follows her.

Alexis: What are we doing over here?

Cameron: What's the last thing you remember?

She turns around and looks at him.

Alexis: I remember being over there. (Fearfully) What happened? Did it happen again?

Cameron: Yeah, and she had something important to tell me.

Alexis: What?

Cameron: That if I don't leave you alone, she'll find a way to get rid of me.

After a threat by Sonny, Faith calls Ned to meet at the Port Charles hotel. He meets her in the lobby.

Ned: Ok, what happened?

Faith: Sonny sent your cousin to intimidate me. He nearly strangled me. And then I ran into Sonny on the pier, and he added his own death threat.

Ned: You had to know he'd retaliate.

Faith: Yeah, and now it's my turn.

Ned: Just calm down. Things are in place.

Faith: No. Now we do it my way.

Ned: What way is that?

Faith: Well, you know that little speakeasy that Sonny's wife is planning on reopening? The original owner was my grandmother. I think I'm going to handle it the way they did in her day -- send a little opening-night package to Mrs. Corinthos.

Ned: No, you're not.

Faith: Yeah. This is one party that Sonny will not be leaving alive.

Alexis: I threatened you?

Cameron: Kristina threatened me.

Alexis: That doesn't make any sense. She was not a threatening person.

Cameron: The Kristina I've seen is not the sweet, karma-coated sister you and Ned described. She's watchful, mistrusting, protective, and potentially violent.

Alexis: I don't remember a second of that.

Cameron: Which is exactly why it's the wrong time for you to bring an infant into your home.

Alexis: (Pleading on the edge of tears) You know that I would not hurt my daughter.

Cameron: Yes, I know that, but Kristina might go somewhere and leave the baby alone. Or worse, she might take the baby with her and you could have no recollection of what she did with it.

Alexis: What do I do?

Cameron: Keep a record of your time. Let's figure out when she appears and why. If you lose time, we'll know she's made an appearance.

Alexis: I'm a rational person.

Cameron: Stop it. I'll help you through this. Want me to walk you home?

Alexis: No. I want to say good night to my daughter. What are you -- what are you going to tell the staff?

Cameron: I'll say something about postpartum depression. Let me worry about that. Go see your daughter. Tell her good night.

Alexis pauses and the walks away.

Ned: After all the destruction Sonny has caused, I won't lose a second of sleep if Sonny dies. So, go ahead, blast away. Sonny will die, and then either you will end up in prison or you'll be shot to death in retaliation. I'm not saying your feelings aren't justified. You just have to learn how to hold out for the bigger prize. Now, if we do things your way, Sonny won't know what hit him. I want him to know, and then I want to render him helpless to retaliate. There's more to be gained by doing things my way. But I won't stop you if you think you can pull this off alone.

Faith: You're not the one getting death threats, Ned. When, exactly, are we going to destroy Sonny? Because I am not interested in you doing it after Jason has killed me.

Felicia and Cameron meet outside the brownstones.

Felicia: Ok, you got what you wanted. I laid a new trail for a false suspect and turned it over to Scott, and he took the bait.

Cameron: How much time do you think you bought us?

Felicia: I don't know. A couple of days, maybe. Were you able to find out anything more from Alexis?

Cameron: I've been working with her as much as possible.

Felicia: So you're not able to eliminate her as a suspect in Alcazar's murder?

Cameron: I don't think Alexis killed Alcazar.

Felicia: Why am I stalling Scott?

Cameron: Alexis is suffering from what's called dissociative fugues. She has an alternate personality who calls herself Kristina.

(The camera moves away from Felicia and Cameron and focuses besides a stairway where Alexis is hiding.)

Cameron: And I think Kristina may have killed Luis Alcazar.
