6, 2007 Transcript Luke:
You know, it's possible you may not get the outcome you're hoping
for. Nikolas:
I have every reason to believe the judge will rule in my favor today.
Scott:
Then why are you trying to bribe me to disappear? Nikolas:
Because unlike you, I happen to care about the people my mother
loves, and they've been hurt enough. Scott:
Yeah, well, so has Laura, and I'm surprised that you want luke anywhere
near her after everything he's done. Nikolas:
Laura forgave Luke a long time ago. Scott:
Yeah, well, have you? Luke treated you like dirt when he found out
that you were her son. He tried to cut you out of her life, and
then when you were appointed guardian, he did a 180 -- you know
why? I'll tell you -- because he wanted access to laura. Nikolas:
I can assure you that's not why Luke wants me to remain Laura's
guardian. Scott:
He's using you. He's using you just like he used your mother. Nikolas:
Laura loves Luke. Scott:
Yeah, but she didn't trust him -- that's why she appointed you guardian.
She didn't want some drunk making decisions for her -- Alexis:
Scott, Scott, Scott, enough, all right? Just pipe down and wait
for the judge's rulings. With any luck, you won't have any further
input in Laura's affairs. Scott:
Look, I'm not trying to take Laura away from Nikolas or her family.
I'm just trying to protect her from Luke. Alexis:
Thank you. Hey. I got 20 minutes. The judge is making a ruling on
Laura's guardianship, so talk fast. Jax:
It's Jerry -- he's gone. Alexis:
I'm sorry to hear that. Jax:
Well, it's nice to know that someone cares if my brother lives or
dies. Alexis:
Oh -- what happened? Jax:
My guess is that one of his business associates finally caught up
with him, and he crashed through the hotel room window to escape.
Mom thinks it's all a big setup, but regardless, Jerry's missing.
Alexis:
I'm not sure that I can help you with this, Jax. Jax:
No, it's not that. It's just that Ric is sending over a forensics
team to investigate and I want you to stop them from going into
that room. Alexis:
As long as you're all together, I want to talk to you before the
hearing gets underway. If the decision comes back and it goes against
Nikolas, there are to be no angry outbursts, do you hear me? No
histrionics, nothing. You stay calm and you stay cool until the
judge leaves the courtroom. And the reason for this is because I
will be able to appeal the decision, and it will compromise this
option if any one of you acts out irresponsibly. Got it? Luke? Attacking
Scott -- verbally or otherwise -- will not get you Laura back. Lulu:
Ok, why -- why are you talking like we've -- we've already lost?
Um -- mom appointed Nikolas to be her guardian, he's her son, we're
her family. Why would the judge even consider putting Scott in charge?
Luke:
Because, Lulu, the law very rarely has anything to do with justice.
Nikolas: Thank you. Bailiff:
All rise. The court is now in session, the Honorable Judge Rogers
presiding. [Judge pounds gavel] Judge:
We're here today to discuss the guardianship of Laura Spencer. After
weighing the evidence, and the assertions that further contact with
Luke Spencer would be detrimental to the patient's welfare, and
taking into consideration ms. Spencer's clear desire to have her
son Nikolas act as her sole guardian, I have come to a decision,
one that I believe will be in Laura's best interest. With that said,
I'm appointing Scott Baldwin as Laura
Spencer's legal guardian. [Judge pounds gavel]
