"I Love this Baby, I Love our Family, and I Love You"

Alexis: I'll need the money wired by close of business today. I appreciate that, but it's your job to facilitate the transfer, not to question how I spend the money. Thank you. Same bank, and if you could use this number to confirm the transaction? Thank you.

Carly: Doesn't matter how much money you spend, Alexis. You're never going to be able to force Sonny out of Kristina’s life.

Alexis: You always make a habit of eavesdropping on people's conversations?

Carly: Well, last time I did, I heard you trying to poison the court-appointed shrink against Sonny.

Alexis: Well, goodbye, Carly.

Carly: Explain the money.

Alexis: Ok. I'm mounting an appeal for Nikolas' defense.

Carly: Hmm. Try again.

Alexis: Ok. I'm going to use the money to take a relaxing cruise to count my blessings.

Carly: Oh, I see. Ok, why don't you just tell me the truth? You're trying to buy a judge to grant you sole custody. That's why you needed the cash.

Alexis: I am in a drama-free zone right now, so I'm not going to engage with you.

Carly: Yeah. In other words, I'm right.

Alexis: In other words, you've misunderstood what you think you've heard, which is irrelevant. Carly, I am learning not to take this personally. I am trying to be flexible, and I'm --

Carly: You know what? It is personal when you accuse me of being a bad mother.

Alexis: I lost my temper. I didn't mean it when I said that. I apologize. And I told you, I am working on my coping skills. I'm actually seeing a therapist. You might try that.

Carly: Yeah, you're lying through your teeth.

Ric: Hey, hey, hey, Carly. Back off my wife.

Ric: Alexis isn't fighting Sonny. She's here for her therapy. Carly, she realizes that another custody battle is not good for Kristina.

Carly: Ok, why don't you go sell that line to somebody else because I'm not buying it.

Ric: Carly, why don't you go home, ok? We'll take care of our family, you can take care of yours.

Ric: So Dr. Meadows was sure about the tests?

Alexis: Blood pressure's down, baby is fine. So as long as I stay rested, I stay stress-free, there's no reason to think that this baby won't go full term.

Ric: You did it.

Alexis: And you doubted me.

Ric: Well, you weren't the easiest person to get through to.

Alexis: I love this baby, I love our family, and I love you.

Ric: You know what? I'm proud of you. And those coping strategies seem to work out very, very well. You were admirably serene with Carly.

Alexis: Yeah, it wasn't easy.

Ric: I got a surprise for you.

Alexis: I bet you do.

Ric: Easy. Pick.

Alexis: Ooh. Oh!

Ric: Come on.

Alexis: Grape!

Ric: Oh, thank god. You can have anything but cherry. A toast?

Alexis: To what?

Ric: Oh -- to your newfound calm and its help in ending this war with Sonny.

Alexis: I am trying to find the balance between surrendering and knowing that I still have a little bit of control.

Ric: Wow, you have changed.

Alexis: I'm trying to be flexible. And it helps knowing that you're right beside me.

Ric: You can lean on me anytime.

Alexis: Ditto.

Ric: Mac, I heard Reese was conscious.

Mac: Yeah, she's also gone.

Ric: What, she checked out already?

Mac: She was supposed to stay for observation.

Ric: Did anybody see her leave?

Mac: Whoever took Reese didn't want us to know she was leaving.

Ric: Or maybe they took her against her will.
