Monica: Why is this taking so long?

Alan: Kristina needs to get home.

Monica: I know that.

(Camera switches to Edward and Cameron)

Edward: Why should I drop charges against that lunatic? She broke into my home and she stole a child and she went running to you.

Cameron: You were responsible for the fire that almost killed your grandson.

Edward: Oh --

Cameron: Do we need to talk about illegal campaign contributions to Scott Baldwin?

Edward: Oh, my god, you're as crazy as Alexis is.

(Cameron moves across the room to Zander and Emily)

Zander: Look at my dad, saving the day as usual.

Emily: All right, maybe he can help.

Ned: I doubt it.

Zander: Never depend on my father for anything.

Ned: He's probably making everything worse.

(Camera switches back to Edward and Cameron)

Cameron: You'll drop all charges and allow Alexis to visit her daughter. Ned will have veto power in all areas of Kristina's life.

Edward: Oh, you know something, buddy -- you are wasting everyone's time.

Cameron: (Calls out across the room) Scott? Edward has something he'd like to tell you.

Edward: Wait till you hear what this -- what this charlatan has dreamed up.

Cameron takes some papers out of his coat pocket

Cameron: (Holds papers out for Scott to see) It's all here in the arson report.

(Camera moves to Alan and Monica watching across the room)

Alan: What is he doing?

Monica: Well, he's talking about the gatehouse. He has to be.

Alan: Well, the fire was ruled accidental.

Ned: Don't be so sure.

(Camera moves back to Cameron and Edward and Scott)

Scott: This was stolen out of my office.

Cameron: So you admit you've seen it?

Scott: Well, of course. The fire was an accident.

Cameron: Not according to the report.

Edward: The proper authorities signed off on that fire.

Cameron: For a price, no doubt. You want to see his campaign contributions to you? Turn the page.

Scott looks at the paper and then looks up at Cameron angrily.

Scott: It was Gia, wasn't it? I should never have hired her as an intern. You know what -- I'm going to fire her and bring both of you up on charges.

Edward: Never mind, never mind. You've been outmaneuvered.

Scott: I don't get outmaneuvered.

Edward: Just shut up and make a deal.

Cameron smiles with satisfaction.

(Camera moves to Zander and Emily)

Zander: Look at my dad, so pleased with himself.

Emily: You and your dad were kind of getting along, or at least working together. What happened?

Zander: (Shakes his head and steps away from Emily) Nothing.

Emily: Hey, just tell me.

Zander: All this time that I thought that I killed my brother? Turns out that I didn't. But thanks to my father, it doesn't matter. My brother never had a chance in hell.

Emily: And your dad knew all along?

Zander: My mom found the note a few months after it had happened. He killed himself.

Emily: But Cameron let you think that you shot your own brother.

Zander: Look at him. Saving the day.

Emily: And he just told you now?

Zander: Well, what's the rush? He already lost his real son.

(Camera slides over to Alan and Monica)

Alan: I am very concerned about Emily. I thought Zander would be out of the picture by now.

Monica: Well, he isn't.

(Camera moves back to Cameron)

Ned walks up to Cameron as Alexis is led into the room by an officer and Mac.

Ned: All right, doctor. This better be good.

Cameron: I'll explain later.

Alexis: Where's Kristina?

Ned: She's in the interrogation room. Are you all right? You all right?

Scott: Mac, let her go.

Mac: You just told me to charge her with kidnapping.

Scott: Well, your department goofed up, as usual. Did you read her her rights?

Mac: Yes.

Scott: Was her psychiatrist present? Was she on videotape, per department policy?

Mac: What policy?

Scott: She's mentally ill. Didn't you get the memo?

Mac: Wait a minute, Scott.

Scott: Look, just un-cuff her!

Mac: Don't waste my time!

Scott: Let her go. That's it. Let her go.

Mac: We have got more important criminals to go after. Let her go.

The officer removes the handcuffs and Alexis smiles at Cameron a little confused but happy..

Scott: Well, what's -- everybody, you're free to go. Get out of here.

The crowd dissipates leaving Alexis standing with Cameron.

Alexis: (Overjoyed) How did you make that happen?

Cameron smiles but doesn't answer.

Little Alexis mention at Sonny's. Taggert arrives to talk to Sonny and Jason about Fowler's murder. Ric manages to talk his way out of them getting arrested.

Taggert: Huh. Whatever you pay him, he's worth it.

Ric: Well, thank you.

Taggert: Slick. Almost as slick as Alexis Davis. But we all know what happened to her, don't we?

Jax and Skye are just about out the door with Skye's bags headed for Lisbon when the entire Quartermaine clan arrives led by Alexis and Cameron with the baby carrier.

Edward: Oh. Are you leaving? Well, don't let us stop you.

Alan: Will you leave her alone? All charges have been dropped.

Skye: Really?

Monica: Which means you got away with it.

Skye walks over to the baby.

Jax: (To Alexis) You all right?

Edward: She should be in jail.

Alexis: Quiet, Edward, before you upset the baby.

Ned: So let me get this straight -- you still have custody?

Edward: Mm-hmm, that's right. Little Kristina will grow up in this house.

Alexis: For six months, while I have visitation.

Edward: You have limited visitation, lady, and Ned here can visit little Kristina anytime he wants.

Ned: Cameron, how did you manage that?

Cameron: Good paperwork.

Skye kneels down to Kristina in her carrier as the Quartermaines argue amongst themselves.

Skye: Hey, kid. Remember me?

Cameron: Don't agree, Edward?

Skye: It's so good to see you. I'm so glad you got home so safely. Oh, I had that suit cleaned, by the way, you know, so no worries about that. That's right, you're so precious.

Edward: Hey.

Alexis: Hey.

Edward: Get away from that baby. Come on.

Alexis: You don't touch my baby, do you understand?

Monica: Why are you here?

Alan: Will you all leave her alone. She didn't hurt the baby.

Skye: (Stands up) Thank you, daddy.

Jax: (Walking up to Alexis) Hey, congratulations.

Alexis: Thank you.

They hug.

Jax: I'll see you later.

Jax leaves.

Edward: I'm going to take the baby in the living room.

Edward hauls the baby and the carrier away with a gaggle of Q's following him.

Alexis: Edward, be careful with her.

Monica: She'll be just fine, Alexis.

Edward: She's going to be fine.

Monica: The baby is fine.

Cameron: They'll just be in the next room.

The foyer has emptied leaving Alexis alone with Cameron.

Alexis: How did you do it?

Cameron's face holds the hint of a smile but doesn't respond.

Ned walks up to her.

Ned: Hey, let's get in there before grandfather finds a loophole.

Ned puts his arm around her and leads her into the living room.

Zander and Emily arrive outside Kelly's.

Zander: My dad has obviously got a thing for Alexis. He doesn't care about that kid.

Emily: Whoa, hold on a sec.

Emily gets very dizzy.

Zander: Whoa, em? Emily? Hey. Are you ok?

Emily: Yeah, no, I'm -- I'm fine. There's just been so much going on, and, you know, I don't blame you for -

She faints into his arms.

Zander: Whoa! Hey. Hey.

Emily evens out and says she just needs something to eat since they haven't eaten. She goes into the bathroom at Kelly's and gets out a bottle and a syringe.

Alan, Monica, Edward and Ned are all gathered around Kristina's bassinet cooing over her.

Ned: You sweet little girl. You're home to stay this time.

Alan: She's had kind of a rough start.

Edward: Will you stop coddling this baby?

Camera moves to Skye drinking vodka at the bar looking very sad.

Monica: Can you say "Put a sock in it, Edward"?

Edward: You know something, sweetie -- you are the most outstanding Quartermaine of them all because you are brave and you are fearless and you're tough, hmm?

Monica: And I'll bet you'd like a good night's sleep, too.

Skye sets down her glass and walks out.

Edward: Oh, Lila will be so thrilled to see you.

Alan: Can you say "Lila"?

Monica: She couldn't possibly say "Lila."

Edward: What, you trying to keep the child from learning to speak, is that it?

Monica: (Whispering) Oh, Edward, let the child be here five minutes before you start pushing it.

Edward: Well, I just --

Alexis and Cameron walk in.

Alexis: I'd like to say good night to my daughter, please.

Edward: I don't want you to upset the child.

Ned: Edward, just give her some room.

Edward: All right.

The Qs step away. Alexis leans into the bassinet and kisses the baby.

Alexis: Good night, angel. Mommy will see you soon, all right? Nobody's going to take you away from me ever. You have my word. Good night, angel. Sweet dreams. (She back away from the baby and looks at Ned.)

Alexis: Will you make sure that you don't take your eyes off her?

Ned: Yeah, she'll be fine.

Cameron: You need some rest.

Alexis: Good night.

Ned: Good night.

Alexis and Cameron walk into the foyer as Ned watches and wonders.

Alexis grabs her coat off a chair and Cameron takes it from her.

Cameron: How you holding up?

Cameron helps put Alexis' coat on her.

Alexis: Much better, thank you.

Cameron takes the documents out of this coat pocket.

Cameron: Oh, you're going to need this for your files.

Alexis smiles and looks over the papers.

Alexis: You caught Edward cold, didn't you?

Cameron: I do what I can.

Alexis: Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Overcome with happiness, Alexis stands on her toes and kisses Cameron chastely on the mouth.

She pulls away smiling.

Cameron looks at her... and then gently takes her face into her hands.He bends down and pulls her face toward his, tilting his head. He kisses her gently, slowly straightening his head in line with hers. He releases her, looking down into her eyes. He takes his hands away from her face, turns and leaves. Shell-shocked, Alexis remains frozen in contemplation.
