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 Monica’s 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 Emily’s 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.
