Man:
Get a postponement. It's their 45th anniversary and I have to be
there.
Nikolas:
Alexis, wait.
Alexis:
Oh, hi.
Nikolas:
Hi. Uh, listen, at the risk of sounding like I'm trying to influence
the D.A. --
Alexis:
If this is about Monicas hearing, rest assured I'm going to
do everything I can.
Nikolas:
Okay, I know. She's lost so much already. Emily, Alan --
Alexis:
I get it -- I do, I get it, all right? When they brought Sam into
the hospital, I imagined what it would be like to lose a child.
It's horrible. She's lost two. It's no wonder that she did whatever
she needed to do to numb the pain.
Nikolas:
Right. In a way, I kind of blame myself for not realizing exactly
what she was going through, not seeing that she get help sooner.
Alexis:
I feel the same way. You know that. Because truthfully, I don't
think that you are handling Emilys death --
Nikolas:
Alexis, please, I really don't want to get into this right now.
Alexis:
You agreed to a surgery that would have saved your life, Nikolas,
yet you went out of your way to stop them.
Nikolas:
The medication I am taking right now --
Alexis:
For how long? The only explanation I have for this is you want to
die, because you feel like you'll be with Emily.
Nikolas:
I don't want to die.
Alexis:
We'll what you are doing, the choices that you are making are going
to make that happen.
Nikolas:
We need to focus on Monica right now, can we do that?
Alexis:
I don't want Monica to suffer any more than she already has. My
goal when I get into that courtroom is to see she that she gets
the help that she needs.
Nikolas:
Okay, thank you.
Alexis:
Don't thank me, just do the same.
Bailiff:
All rise. The Honorable Howard Morris presiding.
Judge Morris: Please be seated. This court is now in session. On the matter
of the state vs. Monica Quartermaine on the charges of driving while
intoxicated and causing serious personal injury to a pedestrian
with her vehicle and leaving the scene of an incident, how does
the defendant plead?
Diane:
Your Honor, my client pleads no-contest. She will voluntarily enter
an alcohol treatment program and will serve six months of community
service.
Alexis:
The D.A.'s office seeks to impose no further
penalty. I'm satisfied, Your Honor.
Judge:
Well, the court is not satisfied.
