10, 2007 Transcript Alexis: What do you mean, you want me to "back Sam off"? Elizabeth: I think she's after Lucky. Alexis: You mean, because of what happened with you and Jason? Elizabeth: Yes. Alexis: You have to admit she has a legitimate reason to be upset. Elizabeth:
Well, then tell her to take her upset out on me and to leave my
children and my husband alone. Alexis: You know, Sam's had a pretty messy life. She really doesn't handle disappointment all that well. Elizabeth: And Lucky is vulnerable, too, and I'm afraid she's going to take advantage of that. Alexis: Well, she's probably in a free-fall situation right now. She's built her whole life around Jason. She's never said a bad thing about him, and yet he turned to you anyway. Elizabeth: She's always been jealous of my friendship with him. Alexis: This is a little more than jealousy, Elizabeth. You can't blame Sam for acting out a little. Elizabeth:
I just walked in on Sam holding my baby, chatting up my husband.
Would you say that's acting out a little or a lot? Alexis: Hi. Sam: Hey. Alexis: Thanks for meeting me. Sam: Yeah. Is something wrong? Alexis: Why would you say that? Sam: Well, I -- I don't know. You seemed a little keyed up on the phone. Besides, you normally don't call me unless you have a reason, so -- Alexis: Sam, I heard about Elizabeth’s testimony? Sam: Yeah, well, who hasn't in this town by now? Alexis: I'm sorry. That couldn't have been easy for you to hear. Sam: No, it wasn’t. Alexis: You're angry. Sam: And humiliated. And frustrated. And strangely relieved because the truth is out, and I don't have to protect Elizabeth and Jason's lies anymore? Yeah. Alexis: The good news is you're not alone. I mean, Lucky must be devastated. Sam: Yeah. Alexis: Have the two of you been commiserating? [Sam sighs] Sam: I -- um -- I was -- I was with -- Lucky and I were together, yeah, when you called. Alexis: Do you think that's wise? Alexis: You're angry at Elizabeth. You want to hurt her -- she hurt you -- and sleeping with Lucky would be a really good way to do it. Sam: This is nothing like what happened last summer with Ric. Alexis: I hope not, I really hope not. Because you and I have managed to forge a relationship after what happened last summer. And while I am far from emotionally detached from this, I know that you slept with Ric because you were lashing out, but you hurt yourself as much as you hurt me, and I just don't want to see you do that again. Sam: Did Elizabeth put you up to this? Alexis: Elizabeth did come to me and ask me for help. Sam: Perfect -- and, of course, you're on Elizabeth’s side. Alexis: There is no side to take here. I'm simply trying to be a good mother and give you good advice, which is for you not to act on your worst impulse out of anger. Because you may wind up doing something that you live to regret for the rest of your life -- [Alexis sighs] Alexis: Again.
