"Alexis Davis is My Mother?"

Sam: I don't know if I can do this.

Jason: If you want to walk away, we can.

Sam: No, no, I can’t. Danny's death -- that has to count for something; this must be it. I'm about to come face to face with my real mother.

Alexis: I know what you said is true. But if I could've just looked into my daughter's eyes just once --

[Knock on door]

Alexis: Yes?

Man: This house has been deserted for years. I saw the light on, just wanted to make sure everything's all right.

WoMan: May I help you?

Sam: Yes. I'm -- I'm really sorry to disturb you. I should've called first, but -- um -- I just found this news out. That is -- um -- I -- uh -- oh. I think you could be my mother.

Alexis: This is my family home -- the Cassadines. Nobody's been here for a very long time.

Man: I like to keep an eye on things.

Alexis: Oh, my husband and I really appreciate that. Thank you. Everything's ok.

Man: Ok. Good night.

Alexis: Good night. Thank you again.

Ric: You all right?

Alexis: That was just really odd.

Ric: What, somebody's watching over the place? I think it's kind of nice, actually.

Alexis: No, it's this -- this feeling I had when I heard the knock at the door. I just had this feeling like I wanted something to happen.

Ric: Like what?

Alexis: I don't know. I just had this feeling like I just -- I wanted something to happen.

WoMan: You believe I'm your mother? I don't understand. What is this about?

Jason: This -- this is not some kind of scam. We don't want anything from you.

Sam: Yeah, look it, I am really sorry. I should not have just blurted it out like that. I was born at the Bilmont Clinic in Chatham, Maine, May 11, 1980.

WoMan: And you tracked me down here?

Sam: Did you have a child at that clinic?

WoMan: Yes. But there's no way you could be my child.

Sam: Wait a minute, I don't understand. If the places and the dates and everything matches up, how can you be so sure?

WoMan: I gave birth to a son.

WoMan: I'm sorry. I can see this means a great deal to you. Must've gone to a great deal of trouble to find me. But there's no possibility that I could be your mother.

Jason: Can you tell us anything about the Bilmont Clinic?

WoMan: I prefer not to think about that time in my life, so if your just --

Sam: Look, I am really -- I'm really sorry to drag up the past for you, but is there anything, anything at all you can tell us?

Jason: Do you remember any of the staff or maybe other patients at the time?

WoMan: It's been such a long time since I've thought about any of this.

Sam: Were any of the patients close to your age?

WoMan: Most of them, actually. But we all kept to ourselves.

Jason: Do you remember if anyone else had a baby on May 11?

WoMan: There was a girl in the room next to me. She was very studious, quiet. She never talked to me. I thought she was something of a snob.

Sam: Do you know her name? She could be my mother.

WoMan: I never heard her name. But I was in the hall when she checked in. She was wearing a school uniform, as if she'd come straight from class.

Jason: Do you remember anything about the uniform?

WoMan: I recognized it right away. It was the uniform of a girls' school called Briarton Griggs.

Alexis: I just wanted to find out that she was all right and that I had done the right thing. Oh, God. Three years old when she died -- let's see, what was I doing? I was at Yale having a good time. I was probably studying in the library -- well, when she got hit by a car. All I had to do was have the courage to walk down the stairs and go after her. We could've gotten on a bus to New York or Canada.

Ric: You would've raised a child by yourself at 16 years old?

Alexis: All I had to do was just stand up to him. Maybe if I had stood up to him, maybe he would show me an ounce of respect. And maybe he would've held me, he would've given me the things that I need to give this baby a good life.

Ric: Mm-hmm. But that wasn't an option, was it? Alexis, you did and made the best choice that you could for your child at the time.

Alexis: And now she's dead.

Ric: Oh, but that's not because of you.

Alexis: At 3 years old, do you think she had any understanding of what happened?

Ric: Sweetheart, listen. You've got to stop putting yourself through this.

Alexis: Coming here was a bad idea. There's too many ghosts. I should just let her rest in peace. It's the least I could do.

Ric: Listen to me. I always wanted -- I always wanted my mother to come search for me, to tell me why she chose Sonny over me. I thought if she could do that, if -- if we could come together in some way, then that would -- that would been an incredible gift. I wanted your daughter to have what I didn’t. So, I don't know, maybe in a way, that this whole search was about me.

Alexis: It was my decision to want to find her.

Ric: I don't know, maybe I pushed you to it.

Alexis: I'm way too stubborn for that. You don't worry. Knowing what happened to her is still better than not knowing.

Jason: You ok?

Sam: Yeah. Look at these trophies. Do you think my mother won any of them? Played tennis, I mean -- golf, field hockey. You know, these are all rich-girl sports. I can't imagine going to a school like this, Jason. This is going to be a bad idea.

Jason: No -- hold on, hold on, this is our best lead yet.

Sam: Why? Because a stranger told us that some snobby pregnant girl had a school uniform on? It's probably just a dead end.

Jason: Ok, then what do you want to do?

Sam: I don't know what I want to do. I don't know. I don't know why I would want to find a mother who obviously doesn't want to be found.

Alexis: Hi, honey.

Kristina: You want to give me away like you did to my sister!

[Car races]

[Tires screech]

Alexis: No!

Ric: It was just a dream.

Alexis: It was just really real. I was at Kelly’s and Kristina was sitting there, and I went to hug her and she refused to hug me and accused me of wanting to give her away like I did her sister. Then she ran out the door, and there was the car's screech and the metal crashing. All I had to do was go after her.

Ric: Yeah, you know what? You're obviously processing an enormous loss here. Your subconscious is just talking to you.

Alexis: I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know that I can go over this a thousand times, and it's not going to make any difference because what's done is done and I need to focus on what I do have in my life. And I miss Molly and I miss Kristina and I think that we should go see them. I want to go home.

Sam: Hi.

WoMan: Hi.

Sam: I'm trying to find a girl who was a student here in 1980.

WoMan: May I ask why?

Sam: Um -- she could possibly be a relative.

WoMan: Oh, I see.

Sam: I'm not really -- I'm not really sure how old she was. I think she was about 16. That would make her a sophomore, right?

Jason: Yeah, and she might've missed some school in the spring of that year.

WoMan: Ok. Hmm. I think I may have found her -- sophomore. Hmm. She took off the entire second semester in 1980.

Sam: Do you have a name?

WoMan: I'm sorry, but I can't divulge that information.

Alexis: I can't wait to see the girls. Hi, honey.

Kristina: Mommy!

Alexis: Hi, sweetie -- oh! Where's your sister? Where's Viola?

Sam: Good job. All right, there's got to be something in here.

Jason: Damn it.

Sam: What, you need a password?

Jason: Maybe I can get Stan to talk me into the system.

Sam: Here are the yearbooks. Uh-huh -- 1980. Maybe my mother's picture is in there.

Alexis: Ooh, I missed you! There she is, too! Let me see your sister, too. Oh, gosh. Hi! Hi, hi! I missed you so much, both of you girls, you know that?

Kristina: I thought you were never coming back.

Alexis: Why would you say that, sweetie? I will always, always, always come back to you wherever I go and wherever you are. You and Molly and Ric are all I need.

Sam: All right, sophomores, sophomores.

Jason: Ok, right -- right here.

Sam: All right, look at that -- "photo not available."

Jason: And that would make sense if she missed the second semester.

Sam: Ok, well, do you think she could be my mother? That's kind of a weird name, so -- Jason? Hey, what's wrong?

Jason: The name.

Sam: "Davidovitch"? What -- what about the name? Do you know her?

Jason: Yeah. So do you.

Sam: No, I don’t. I've never heard of that name before.

Jason: Because she changed her name to "Davis."

Sam: Alexis -- Davis? Alexis Davis is my mother?
