Alexis is sitting up quietly in her hospital bed. A nurse walks in.

Nurse: Alexis Davis?

Alexis: Hi. Could you do me a favor and bring Dr. Lewis in here so I can talk to him about visitation with my daughter?

Nurse: I'll notify the doctor as soon as we get you settled.

Alexis: I would get settled more easily if I knew what kind of access I had to my baby.

Scott walks in smugly.

Scott: Nurse, this patient is dangerous. She's a confessed murderer and attacked me with a deadly weapon. Restrain her.

Nurse: I was just about to take care of that.

Alexis: Please -- please don't do that. I don't need them. I'm all right.

Scott: If you don't do it, I'll report you to the chief of staff.

Nurse: No need for threats, Mr. Baldwin.

The nurse picks up a restraint and starts to put it on Alexis' right arm.

Alexis: No, nurse. Please, you don't understand. Please, please don't put those on me. Please, it would make me really uncomfortable, and I would really appreciate it

She suddenly becomes very angry.

Alexis: (As Kristina) If you don't put those on me. I don't want to have the restraints. Don't come anywhere near me with those. (Looks at Scott) You get out! (Scott turns around and walks to the door) You're not going to win, you know. You're not going to lock her up, and you're not going to take my --

Scott: (Yells down the hall) Orderly? Orderly, get in here.

Alexis struggles with the nurse.

Alexis: I said no. I said no!

An orderly rushes into the room and begins to restraint her left arm.

Alexis: No! (She struggles to free her arms) Don't.

Cameron comes rushing in.

Cameron: All right! I want everyone to back the hell off and leave her alone.

Cameron: (He yells) Now!

The orderly and nurse release Alexis and go stand in a corner.

Cameron steps up to a shaking Alexis. He releases the restraint from her left hand and then looks angrily at Scott.

Cameron: Alexis is my patient. I say what happens to her and what doesn't. And what definitely will not happen is relentless harassment from the D.A.

Scott: (Staring at Alexis) Oh, I have a right to question the suspect.

Cameron: You have no rights here, Baldwin. In this hospital, I get to play God. Now, you can leave voluntarily, or it will be my intense pleasure to have you thrown out.

Scott: You I don't like.

Scott walks out. Cameron turns and looks at Alexis.

Cameron: Alexis?

Alexis: (As herself) I don't remember what happened. I asked to see you, and then Scott came in.

Cameron: There was a misunderstanding. (He looks over at the nurse and orderly) Everything's fine now. You can leave.

The nurse and orderly leave.

Alexis: I am trying to stay calm and rational so that nothing happens to me. It was the restraints. Are they necessary?

Cameron: (He sits down on a chair next to her) Well, yeah, unfortunately, they are, at least for tonight, but I have an idea, an exercise, if you will.

Alexis: Ok.

Cameron: Trust me to put the restraints on you. If we can do it without Kristina emerging, it'll be a good first step toward managing your illness and getting you out of here.

Alexis: Ok.

Cameron: Now, you'll have to work really hard to concentrate. Just keep saying to yourself you're ok. We'll see what happens.

Alexis: They won't use this to keep me away from my little girl?

Cameron: (Shakes his head) No, don't worry. I'll make sure you see your daughter. Are you ready?

She holds out her right arm. Cameron carefully fixes the restraint around her wrist. She breaths very nervously.

Alexis: I'm ok.

Alexis: (She closes her eyes and winces) It's going to be ok.

She tries to take deep breathes as Cameron fastens the restraint.

Alexis: I'm ok.

Skye and Jax walk into the Grille. Ned and Faith are eating at a table across the room.

Skye: You sure this is a good idea? Maybe Alexis wouldn't want Ned to know.

Jax: Well, they may be at each other's throats at the moment, but Alexis is in a lot of trouble, and Ned and her have a lot of history, including their child. So he needs to know.

Jax gives Skye a nudge and they walk over to Ned's table. He's surprised to see them.

Ned: Jax, Skye. (Hesitantly) Would you like to join us?

Jax: Actually, I need to speak with you in private.

Taggert arrives.

Taggert: Oh, look at this. How convenient. All the interested parties gathered together in a fascinating little clump.

Jax: What do you want, Taggert?

Taggert: First, I got a question for you -- what's the mob widow doing hobnobbing with the Port Charles power elite? Or maybe you people didn't know. Ms. Rosco is running a budding criminal operation.

Faith: Prove it.

Ned: Just tell us what you want.

Taggert: There's been another arrest in the Alcazar murder trial, and this time we're positive we have the real killer.

Ned: Well, that's a nice change.

Taggert: As a matter of fact, it's your ex-fiancée.

Ned: (Ned nods as if Taggert is joking with him) Alexis. (He chuckles)

Taggert: Yeah.

Ned: You guys have really lost it.

Taggert: Ask her. Ms. Davis made a full confession to district attorney Baldwin. She's going down for this one.

Cameron: (Cameron sits down the chair) Well, you did fine. I know it's a little frightening, but that's
understandable under the circumstances. The good thing is, Scott agreeing to have you hospitalized is a step in the right direction. It implies that he agrees with my diagnosis -- that you do have disassociative identity disorder.

Alexis: Great. That ought to work really well when I have to plead guilty by reason of insanity.

Cameron: You're a strong woman, Alexis, probably stronger than you realize. I've seen your determination firsthand more than once.

Alexis: I think you've referred to that as stubborn and obstinate.

Cameron: Yeah, all of the above. And that's a good thing. You're going to need every one of those annoying traits now. You just work on staying in control. I'll take care of the rest.

Alexis: I believe that you will.

Cameron: Well, hang on to that. I'll be around if you need me.

Cameron walks out of the room and comes across Scotty on the phone.

Scott: Thank you.

He hangs up and turns around.

Cameron: Why are you still here? Haven't you done enough damage for one night?

Scott: Just doing my job.

Cameron: This is a hospital, Baldwin, not a police station. Your browbeating tactics won't fly here.

Ned, Jax and Skye arrive.

Ned: I just heard about Alexis. How is she?

Cameron: Now she's ok, but our esteemed D.A. isn't helping matters.

Jax: (To Scott) You'd better be treating Alexis with the respect she deserves.

Scott: You know, if I was you, I'd worry less about her mental state and more about her legal status. She confessed to killing Alcazar, which means that she's going away.

Jax: That's if this confession holds up in court. It's obvious Alexis wasn't in her right mind.

Scott: Well, that's for a judge and a jury to decide.

Cameron: Well, it won't be decided tonight. I'm not going to let you back into Alexis' room just so you can exploit her condition in furtherance of your mediocre political career.

Scott: I'd be careful if I were you. For a medical professional, you're starting to cross the line here. I would hate to think that your objectivity is being blurred here because of your personal feelings for Alexis. We can't have that if you're going to be an expert witness, now, can we?

Sonny and Jason are at The Cellar talking when Ric interrupts them.

Ric: Sonny, Sonny, excuse me. I don't mean to interrupt, but I just thought you'd might like to know the D.A.'s office just put out a press release. Alexis Davis has been arrested for Alcazar's murder.

Jax, Ned and Skye are now alone outside Alexis' room.

Jax: Are you coming in?

Ned: Alexis and I have been fighting a lot lately, so she'd probably rather see you right now.

Jax: Oh, ok. Well, that explains why she's behaving so erratically lately. It also means that she's going to need you more than ever now, Ned.

Ned: Look, I'm not bailing. (Rubs his forehead in frustration) I'm just saying that when -- if she wants to see me, I'm here. And please make that clear to her, ok?

Jax: Ok, I will.

Ned: I need to check in on Kristina.

Ned leaves.

Skye: Jax, I'm really sorry. As relieved as I am to be exonerated, I wish that it hadn't come at such a cost, especially for you.

Jax: Thanks.

Jax walks into Alexis' room.

Alexis: I'd get up to give you a hug, but I'm afraid I'm all tied up.

Jax: (He sits down next to her) Well, you still got your sense of humor. That's good.

Alexis: I think I'm going to need it.

Skye listens at the door.

Jax: Yeah, couldn't hurt. You know, in the meantime, I'm going to call upon that savior complex that you accused me of having all the time. I'm going to use it to your advantage. (She starts to cry) You're my dearest friend, Alexis. I'm not going to lose you. I'm going to do everything I can to get you out of this.

Alexis: You promise?

Jax: On my life.

Sonny: Thanks for the update, Ric. We're in the middle of something, so --

Ric: Have a pleasant evening.

Ric walks away frustrated.

Jason: He can't like the way you treat him, but he keeps taking it. Why is that?

Sonny: I have something he wants, and when I find out what it is, I will know how to proceed. Well, it's too bad, though, because he's -- he's a good lawyer, almost as good as Alexis.

Jason: You know, it's weird that -- remember, she wouldn't represent us in a murder case or anything that had to do with a violent crime, and now she's a killer? Unless Baldwin's lying again.

Sonny: Hate's a powerful emotion. I mean, you know, Alcazar's bomb killed Alexis' sister, he confronted her in the park, she went into premature labor. Anybody would want revenge.

Faith stands outside the nursery window looking at Kristina. Ned rounds the corner. He stops abruptly when he sees Faith but then continues toward her.

Ned: What are you doing here?

Faith: I just thought it was time I see your little girl. She's beautiful.

Ned: You never struck me as being very maternal.

Faith: Well, I haven't had very much exposure to children. But it's a good thing you have since your hands could be very full soon now that Kristina's mother is a murderer. You will be responsible for the baby, won't you?

Ned: You have no idea how ironic this is. The lengths that Alexis went through to protect her child from someone who she considered dangerous.

Faith: Do you agree she's dangerous?

Ned: Whatever Alexis has done, she only acted out of love for Kristina. And you're right. It's now up to me to do everything I can to protect this child.

Carly walks out of The Cellar's dining area and rushes up to Jason and Sonny in the entrance parlor.

Carly: You are never going to guess what I just heard on the news.

Sonny: Alexis was arrested for Alcazar's murder.

Carly: Someone should have figured this out sooner. It all adds up. Alexis kills Alcazar and then she hides in plain view while she manipulates her way through the court system. She represents you and Brenda, and then, when it looks like you're going to be guilty, she bails. And all of a sudden, she's sneaking around, making anonymous phone calls that clear you.

Jason: I got to give her credit. She could have gotten away clean with Alcazar's murder if she hadn't cleared Brenda and me.

Carly: Alexis put us all through hell because her ego is out of control. She thought that she could clear you and Brenda, and she was smart enough not to implicate herself. There's nothing noble about that. She's just not as brilliant as she thought she was.

Sonny: Alexis is a mother. Whether or not she deserves to pay for Alcazar's murder, that's debatable, but her child doesn't. Now, a little girl who I thought was mine at one time is in the hospital with her mother on her way to prison.

Ned knocks on Alexis' door.

Ned: Mind if I come in?

Alexis nods. Ned walks in and stands near the bed.

Ned: Well, I won't ask how you're doing. But I will say you -- you look remarkably calm, considering.

Alexis: It's an act. I'm frantic. I'm frantic about Kristina.

Ned: She's fine, and she will be fine. I'll make sure of it.

(Camera moves outside the room where a nurse is wheeling the baby toward Alexis' room. Faith comes up behind her)

Faith: Excuse me. Is that Ms. Davis' baby?

Nurse: Yes.

Faith: Are you taking her to her mother?

Nurse: Yes. Mr. Ashton asked that Kristina be brought down to visit with her mother.

Faith hovers over Kristina and touches her.

Faith: Oh, hi, sweetie.

(Camera switches back to Ned and Alexis)

Ned: Kristina is ready to go home, so I'd like to take her to the gatehouse as soon as possible. I'll hire a baby nurse and a nanny and I'll spend as much time as I possibly can with her.

Alexis: Ned, please, I want her to stay here. That way, I'm near her. Please.

Ned: Alexis, she's been in the hospital all her life. She needs to be at a real home. I promise you, I will give her all the love and support she could possibly handle, and most importantly, she will be in a safe environment on the Quartermaine grounds. She won't be affected by any of this that you're going
through.

Faith appears in the doorway holding the baby.

Alexis: Oh, my God. No. Oh, God. Ned, don't do this to me.

Ned turns around to see Faith holding the baby.

Alexis: (She struggles against the restraints) Get that woman away from my baby. No, you can't take the baby! She's mine! God, please, Ned, don't do this!
