Ric: Alexis, don't drag this into court, ok? You're not going to win. The minute that I prove that you're a jilted wife who lets her mobster-loving daughter have free reign with her two little sisters, there's not a judge in the country who is not going to give me full custody of Molly. You'll be lucky if I don't get Kristina, as well.

Alexis: You have a lot of skeletons in the closet, Ric. I don't want to have to drag them out.

Ric: All right, fine. You know what? Whatever it takes. You want to get down in the mud with me? Be prepared. Because I know how to sling it.

Sam: Hey, that is enough, Ric. Leave my mother alone.


Sam: Come on, get out. Get out, or I'm not going to be responsible --

Ric: You want to get physical with me again, Sam?

Alexis: Guys, stop it!

Ric: I'm sorry, did you miss the part where she's moving me around like a puppet here?

Alexis: I know, Ric. Nothing is ever your fault. You know what? Take this to court. You can sling mud at me to your heart's content. Yeah, unfortunately, I think it's only going to make you lose Molly for good. But you need to go.

Ric: Well, what's -- something's -- something's different about you. I don't know what it is.

Alexis: Ric, just go.

Sam: Come on, you heard my mother. Get out.

Ric: Yeah, yeah, ok --

Sam: Go, or I'm going to call the police!

Ric: Ok, all right. Take it easy.

Sam: Use that in your custody trial.

Sam: Come on, sit down.

Alexis: No. He knows. He knows! I wish you never brought the stuff over in the first place.


Sam: Hey. Hey, hey, hey, I am not the enemy here, Alexis. You need me. Whether you want to admit it or not, you do. And it goes both ways, ok? You stood by me when I shot diego. And as sick as you were, you stood up for me in court, and you nearly collapsed. Which is the one thing that got to the single shred of decency that Ric has left to get him to drop the charges.

Alexis: I think you're giving him way too much credit for -- for his humanity. He knew he wouldn't win the case.

Sam: Ok, but still, I -- I thank you. Come on. I am touched, and I think I am -- I am, like, the most grateful that I've ever been in my entire life. And I know there's a lot of water under the bridge between us, and I want to start patching it up, so stop being so difficult!

Alexis: I'm sorry --

Sam: I'm sorry if you didn't like my methods by pushing him, but --

Alexis: It worked. It worked. It worked.

Sam: Ok.

Alexis: I -- I should have thanked you, rather than jumping down your throat. I'm sorry. I apologize. The truth is, is that I'm --

Sam: You freaked.

Alexis: Yes --

Sam: Yes, you freaked. You didn't want him to find the marijuana while he's in the middle rant about finding a reason to get you in -- in court with a custody trial. I know.

Alexis: Well, I'm just going to get rid of it. I'm -- I -- I just shouldn't use it anymore.

Sam: Well, you know, I -- I would just think about it before you make any rash decisions, especially if it's influenced by Ric. I am going to go.

Alexis: Sam? Thank you.

Sam: Sure.


Alexis: Hey! Look who's here. Did you guys have a good time?

Viola: Kristina saw a kitten she liked.

Alexis: No kidding?

Viola: She said it was very pretty.

Alexis: She did?

Viola: Oh, no, honey. They'll just spoil your appetite.

Kristina: Mommy's hungry.

Alexis: Oh -- huh. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Can I have a hug with that?

Viola: And I brought something for dinner.

Alexis: You did?

Viola: Mm-hmm.

Alexis: How fabulous is that? Because -- ooh, I would like nothing more than to sit down with my girls and have a nice, big meal, because that's what families do, right? And we're a family, mm-hmm. And I'm going to do whatever I can to keep it that way.
