"I Have No Intention of Being Petty or Vindictive"

Elizabeth: Look. Finally, Alexis is here to drop the charges.

Epiphany: Hallelujah.

Jason: Well, maybe against you, but she's got it in for me.

Epiphany: Well, there's only one way to find out.

Mac: D.A. Davis has decided to drop the charges. You're free to go -- all of you.

Alexis: You all broke the law by aiding and performing in a rogue surgery. Your actions may have been well-intended, but they were irresponsible. Even still, I have no intention of being petty or vindictive.

Patrick: That surgery saved Sam's life whether my father agrees or not.

Alexis: Your father believed that she would recover without that surgery and then changed his mind when he saw that you were being charged with criminal charges.

Jason: Seriously, do you not get if he hadn't operated, Sam would be dead by now?

Alexis: Do you understand that Sam hasn't regained consciousness yet? And until she does, we won't know if this surgery was successful or not.

Jason: What -- what are you talking about?

Alexis: I'm saying that because you took things into your own hands, you may have caused your fiancee irreparable damage.

Alexis: Is it all right if I use the interrogation room? I'd like a word private with Jason.

Mac: Be my guest.

Alexis: This hasn't been easy on either one of us. It's been enormously stressful, not to mention having to spend so much concentrated time in each other's company. Sincerely believe that you and I want the same thing. We just go about getting it very differently. I was adamant about having that surgery performed so soon. What I didn't take into consideration is your unorthodox way of problem-solng. As long as her long-term prognosis isn't affected adversely, I am willing to put what's happened behind us and move on.

Jason: In return for what?

Alexis: I'm responsible for Sam's care from now on.

Jason: I knew that you would pull something like this.

Jason: I told you Sam was your daughter because I thought she was going to die. And I wanted Sam to have the chance to know her mother for whatever time she had left, but I knew the second the words came out of my mouth, you would try to take over her life --

Alexis: "Take care of," Jason.

Jason: You don't even know her! I do. I love her, she loves me, and I'm not about to let you put yourself between us, so back off!

Alexis leaves and talks to Mac outside the room.

Alexis: I don't care what you have to do at this point. Keep him busy so I get a head start. Thanks, pal.

Alexis exits the station.

Mac: Whoa -- hold on! We're not done yet.

Jason: What are you talking abou she dropped the charges. What do I need to be here for?

Mac: The Same shooter is still out there, there's unrest in your organization. I think there's a few things we can discuss.

Jason: Mac, you're doing this for Alexis. What is she doing? Where's she going? What's she up to?

Alexis: It's ok, Sam. There's just too many agendas here. There's doctors with family issues. Nurses with biases. I'm taking you to a facility that is strictly focused on you. I'm devoted to getting you the best possible care that I can.
