Cameron waits impatiently in the hospital lounge and then stands up to leave. Alexis rushes up to him.

Alexis: I'm sorry. I know that I'm late. I'm just going to have to cancel my appointment.

Cameron: No, you don't.

Alexis: And maybe we can do it again tomorr-- what do you mean, I don't?

Cameron: I've resigned from your case.

Alexis: You're not my therapist anymore?

Cameron: Thank god.

Alexis: Cameron, you can't just quit on me.

Cameron: I just did.

Alexis: Well, what kind of therapist am I going to get now? There's nothing really wrong with me.

Cameron: I'm not so sure about that, Alexis.

Alexis: You know what I mean.

Cameron: But who knows? I could be wrong. I can't be objective about you anymore.

Alexis: You mean you can't dictate all of my choices.

Cameron: You won't listen.

Alexis: Because I don't think that every word that you say is brilliant?

Cameron: You won't follow even the simplest recommendations.

Alexis: What you mean is that i don't do everything exactly the way that you want me to do it.

He takes her by the arm and leads her across the room.

Cameron: I helped you get away with murder, literally. I submitted a false diagnosis to the court. That's perjury, for starters. I could lose my license. I faced arrest to get you more time with Kristina. I blackmailed the D.A. so that you could get visitation, and for what? All you have to do is follow a court order for six months, but you can't do that. You won't.

Alexis: You just don't like me because I'm a woman who speaks up for myself.

Cameron: You can explain it to somebody else, Alexis. I'm not going to cover for you anymore.

Alexis: Why are you deserting me right now? I happen to need you right now.

Cameron: Our sessions aren't helping either one of us.

Alexis: You agreed that you would cover for me, Cameron.

Cameron: And I will continue to do that, but I can't speak for your next therapist.

Alexis: And who's that?

Cameron: Rachel Ryan. She's quite good.

Alexis: Cameron, you're punishing me because I'm not doing everything your way.

Cameron: All you have to do is see Kristina on the court's schedule, continue your therapy, rest and wait for this all to be over, but you're not doing any of those things.

Alexis: Do you realize that the Quartermaines are trying to steal my daughter from me?

Cameron: And you're doing everything you can to help them.

Alexis: And Skye won't take her hands off of her.

Cameron: Did it ever occur to you that might be a good thing?

Alexis: For a lunatic to have her hands all over my daughter? No, I don't think that's a good thing.

Cameron: For so many people to care about Kristina?

Alexis: I care about my daughter. I want to be near my daughter. Can't you understand that? Or have the Quartermaines gotten to you, too?

Cameron: You know, the paranoia really concerns me.

Alexis: Go ahead. Walk away. Go ahead. It's what you do best. Ask Zander.

Cameron: We're not making this about me.

Alexis: I can't believe I ever trusted you.

Cameron: When did you ever do that?

Alexis: I'm late. (She turns and heads for the elevator)

Cameron: You are so right.

Alexis: (She pushes the button) You know, at least you could have warned me that you were going to abandon me, and that way I wouldn't have to waste my time coming down here.

Cameron: And where else do you have to be?

Alexis: That's none of your business. You resigned as my therapist. I don't have to tell you anything anymore.

Cameron: Do you realize how erratic you are?

Alexis: You ditched me without any warning at all, and I'm erratic?

Cameron: You're evading the question.

Alexis: I get to do that now. You're not my therapist anymore.

She gets on the elevator.

Alexis: Goodbye, Dr. Lewis. Let's never do this again.

The elevator door shuts.

Alexis rushes into a room and Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" begins to play.

Alexis does a quick change into Dobson.

(Scene switches to the Quartermaine living room)

Ned and Cameron walk in.

Ned: You're supposed to be such a great shrink, why is Alexis getting worse?

Cameron: You will have to ask her new doctor.

Ned: You're off her case?

Cameron: I resigned.

Ned: With no warning?

Cameron: I let myself get too involved. The sooner I step back, the better for Alexis.

Ned: Well, how did she take it?

Cameron: How do you think?

Ned: So the alternate personality is coming back?

Cameron: No. The current personality seems to be the problem. (Sits down) Alexis is having trouble dealing with the realities of her situation.

Ned: Well, who wouldn't? She's struggling with a mental illness. She's lost custody of her child. She would be district attorney right now if she hadn't thrown the election.

Cameron: Everything started after she had the baby.

Ned: Actually, Alexis' life started unraveling long before that. I just didn't see it. ("Dobson" walks in with a tray of pastries) I was so used to seeing her as this competent, rational person. I didn't see that something was wrong.

Alexis sets down the try and puts the pastries on a serving dish.

Cameron: Well, however it happened, you need to be warned. In my professional opinion, Alexis still has a very real problem.

Alexis drops the tray.

Cameron bends down and picks up the tray.

Cameron: Here, let me help.

Alexis: Very clumsy. Please, sir.

Cameron: I think that's the last of them.

Alexis: Thank you, sir. Excuse me, sir.

Alexis attempts to walks out but Ned stops her.

Ned: Actually, Dobson, could you stick around? I'd love some coffee. Cameron?

Cameron: Yeah, thanks. Cream and sugar.

Ned: I like mine black. Thank you.

Alexis: Right away, sir.

Alexis puts the pastries back on the table and begins to put the coffee items on the tray.

Ned: So I was under the impression that Alexis was making progress.

Cameron: No. Actually, I think she's getting worse.

Ned: The disassociative identity disorder?

Cameron: No, the Kristina alter isn't the problem. The problem is Alexis. She completely refuses to comply with the court restrictions. She acts like they're there to be ignored.

Ned: You think I don't know this?

Cameron: She behaves as if the entire thing were a giant Quartermaine conspiracy.

Ned: And she's not completely wrong. I mean, obviously, my grandfather will go to great lengths to keep Kristina at the Quartermaines'.

Ned takes some coffee from the tray.

Cameron: Well, that's why she should follow the court orders to the letter. (He takes some coffee from Alexis) She needs to prove to the judge that she can be trusted with Kristina.

Ned: And what have you done to help the situation, Cameron? I mean, you arranged for Alexis to hide out in a cabin with Kristina. You lied to everybody. (Alexis rolls her eyes standing behind Cameron) You think this is helping Alexis adjust to reality?

Cameron: I've been too involved for some time now.

Ned: Well, that's obvious.

Cameron: (Holds out his cup for Alexis) Can I get a little more sugar? You were in love with her.

Cameron puts the cup on Alexis' tray. She walks to the table behind him and puts sugar in his cup.

Ned: What does that have to do with anything?

Cameron: (Taking his cup back from Alexis) Well, didn't you find her infuriating? Incapable of making a commitment?

Alexis slams the tray.

Ned: Yes, Idid. Alexis absolutely refuses to admit that she needs anyone. That's why Iwas hoping therapy might help. You've done her no good at all.

Cameron: Well, actually, I'd have to agree, which is why I'm recommending to the court that her visits with Kristina be supervised.

Skye walks in.

Skye: Well, guess who's late for her visit with Kristina again?

Alexis rushes into a room and wipes off her make-up. She changes back into herself.

(Scene switches to Alexis and the baby in the living room)

Skye: You are very patient. You know that? Well, I don't know, maybe that's a good thing. But don't let people walk all over you, ok? If I - when I have my own baby. I'm going to be sure she's not going to be wondering where her mother is or when she's going to show up. Oh. But even after that baby comes along, I can promise you, Kristina, I will always watch out for you. (Puts the baby in the bassinet) Oh, here we go.

Alexis walks in.

Alexis: I already know I'm late.

Skye: I'm putting Kristina down.

Alexis: Not on my visit time, you're not.

Skye: She's sleepy.

Alexis: I still have time. Hello!

Skye: Well, I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about Kristina.

Alexis: How would you like to settle this in court? (Picks up the baby)

Skye: You can't even practice law anymore.

Alexis: You darling girl! But I have a lot of friends who can. Hey, little sweet thing!

Skye: Fine. But I'm watching the clock.

Alexis: Mmm, my baby. Hi, sweetheart. I missed you. I have. (Glares at Skye) Do you mind?

Skye: (Sniffs) Is that -- are you wearing after-shave?
