Carly:
Wow. Who would've thought you, Alexis Davis, would get conned by
a sociopath like James Craig?
Alexis:
Never mind. Look, I came to see Jax. But having just found out what
kind of man his brother is, I thought he might need a friend.
Carly:
No. You're here because you want Jax to tell you that Jerry isn't
that bad of a guy. He is that bad of a guy, he used you -- just
like he uses everyone who crosses his path, including his brother.
Carly: Wow. Do you have some deep-rooted good brother/bad brother
kind of thing? I mean, you couldn't have sonny, so you hooked up
with Ric, and you can't have Jax, so, what, do you want Jerry now?
What's wrong with you?
Alexis:
Carly, your husband is dealing with the nightmare of finding out
that his brother is a certified psychotic, and -- and do you really
want to stand there and take potshots at me?
Carly:
Well, you're an easy target. Fine. I'm sorry, ok? But you are right
about one thing -- Jax is devastated. But I am his wife. I will
comfort him, not you, Alexis.
Alexis:
I understand that. I understand how you feel. But do you think,
perhaps, that you might be so blinded by your own anger from being
in the situation that you're not going to be able to do him any
good at all?
Carly: Jax knows exactly how I feel when it comes to Jerry.
Alexis:
Which is what I'm trying to say -- you went through something that
I didn't go through. I thought it might be easier for Jax to talk
to me.
Carly:
Oh, yeah, talk to you. If you want to help someone, why don't you
help Jerry? He could use a friend, but be careful because he has
a really bad temper. It'd be a shame if he snapped and shot you,
or if he slammed you up against the wall or pistol-whipped you.
See, that's what he loves to do when he gets really irritated.
[Phone
rings]
Carly:
Excuse me. Hello? Yeah, what's up? No, I didn't order 1,300, I ordered
300 bed linens. Well, why can't you -- fine. I will be right there.
I have to go, so -- hey. You look like hell.
Jax:
Well, I feel like it. Hey, Alexis.
Alexis:
Hi. I was just --
Carly:
I, uh, have to go to the hotel -- there's a problem -- and Alexis
was just leaving.
Alexis:
Yeah.
Carly:
Yeah.
Jax:
Actually, could you stay? I need to talk to you.
Alexis:
Uh, sure. At your disposal.
Carly:
Call me if need anything. Ok?
[Door
opens and closes]
Jax:
I don't really know where to begin.
Alexis:
I do. Look, I know everything. I know everything except how to help
you.
Jax:
You know, you could start by putting your nephew on a leash -- before
he goes after my brother and makes things worse.
Alexis: It's not going to do you any good to battle to the death
with Jerry. It's just not.
Nikolas:
Is -- is this about you standing by your old pal Jax, or -- or is
it about you making excuses for Jerry because you have a thing for
him?

Alexis: First of all, I don't have a thing for Jerry. I thought
the guy was charming. I had no way of knowing that he was a psychopath.
Nikolas:
It doesn't matter, he still needs to die. Look, his true identity
doesn't make him any less of a threat -- it's the same man!
Emily:
Nikolas, don't take your frustrations out on Alexis. She's just
trying to minimize the fallout, just like I am.
Alexis:
I -- I had no way of knowing what a monster
he was. He -- he was a nice guy. He -- I saw him, he
-- he helped me when I was sick, he brought me medication when I
needed it, he took me to the hospital when I needed it, he watched
my kid when I needed it.
Nikolas:
Stop, stop, stop --
Alexis:
What was I supposed to do?

Nikolas:
No -- ok! But just don't try and talk me out of getting rid of him.
Alexis:
If you kill him, you will end up in prison, and he'll win!
Nikolas:
So you're ok sitting around like target practice --
Alexis:
No, I'm not ok with any of this.
Nikolas:
Waiting for whatever hell Jerry brings on next -- you ok with that?
Alexis:
I'm just praying that Jax is not going to let that happen.
Alexis: We got here as soon as we could.
Nikolas:
What's this all about? Why --
Jax:
What are you talking about?
Alexis:
Jerry asked us to meet him here.
Jax:
I got the same call.
Emily:
What in the world?
Nikolas:
Maybe he's planning to keep us all hostage again.
Jax:
Yeah, well, I don't know what my brother is going to do next.
Nikolas:
And that is the crux of the problem.
Emily:
Nikolas, please.
Nikolas:
What? What, don't be on my guard? Don't be afraid for -- for the
people I care about? What if Jerry shoots, say, Jason or Monica?
Would we still defend him then? What if he comes in here with a
lit stick of dynamite --
Jerry:
I don't need pyrotechnics for my arrival -- a warm smile and a few
hugs will suffice. Hey! God, it's been so long! My god, you look
good, little brother! Whoo! Marriage agrees with you. And look at
this place -- it's even more magnificent than lady Jane had said.
Wow.
Jax:
Why are you pretending like you just got here?
Jerry:
Keep your voice down -- unless you have to raise it in an enthusiastic
greeting.
Jax:
What are you up to?
Jerry:
I want to see how long it takes for your alarmed staff to call the
police.
Jerry: Alexis?
[Siren]
Jerry:
Oh, dear, I heard that you had a terrible health crisis, but if
it makes you feel better, you look as gorgeous as ever, really.
Oh, and look -- little Emily Quartermaine, all grown up and a doctor
to boot -- wow.
Nikolas:
What the hell are you trying to pull here?
[Siren
stops]
Jax:
Jerry?
Jerry:
It's time for me to go public. Excuse me, but what's --
Mac:
James Craig, you're under arrest.
Jerry:
"James Craig"? Who's James Craig?
Officer:
You have the right to remain silent.
Jerry:
I -- I mean, there's been a terrible mistake. This is ridiculous.
Jax:
Mom, you need to go to your room.
Jane:
My god, Jerry, what have you done now?
