Nikolas: I don’t know where you got your information, but Emily didn't have a sister, twin or otherwise.

Alexis: The report's in these records. Hank and Paige Bowen gave birth to twin daughters. Given the circumstances of the adoption, it seems reasonable that Emily didn't know that she had a twin sister. On the other hand, I believe that Rebecca did. Which is why she's here in Port Charles.

Jason: I know that Michael's here.

Kristina: Sorry to disappoint, but I haven't seen him all night.

Jason: You're not doing him any favors by hiding him.

Kristina: And you're not keeping your eyes on my face.

[Jason sighs]

Jason: Hey, can you help me? I'm at Alexis' house right now. Can you come over here? All right, thanks.

Kristina: Calling Dad? You think he's going to be happy that you're staring at his half-naked daughter?

Jason: Michael needs to go back to the hospital.

Kristina: Sorry to disappoint, but I haven't seen him all night.

Jason: Okay, Kristina, this is serious. He just had a major surgery. Do you want to be responsible if he collapses?

Kristina: No, I don't. So it's lucky he's not here.

Jason: Michael, I'm not leaving without you.

Kristina: What are you, deaf? I told you I haven't seen him all night.

Jason: No, you're lying to me.

Kristina: You're waiting for an invitation to come in, aren't you? You don't care that I'm underage.

Jason: Michael, please don't make me listen to any more of this.

Kristina: I could get you in a lot of trouble. If Daddy doesn't care, my mom will. And she's the D.A.

Michael: Look, Jason's not leaving. And you're weirding me out.

Jason: Let's go.

Kristina: You don't have to cave to him.

Jason: I'm driving you back to the hospital.

Kristina: What, are you going to drag him out of here? What if you hurt him? He's recovering from brain surgery.

Sam: Kristina, come on. Put on some clothes, now.

Michael: Okay, you found me. Call Mom and tell her it's another job well done.

Alexis: Emily and Rebecca are twins. The proof is right there, Nikolas.

Nikolas: These are private, sealed medical records. Where did you get them?

Alexis: I have friends in high places.

Nikolas: What friends? You don't have any friends.

Alexis: Very funny. Agent Rayner, okay?

Nikolas: You had the FBI -- could I get a drink, please? Thank you. You had the FBI track her down like some sort of criminal.

Alexis: You are deliberately trying to miss the point. Hank and Paige Bowen were very young when they gave birth to their twins. They couldn't afford to keep both children, so they kept Emily, and they gave Rebecca up for adoption. Let me make that clear. They sold her. Which would explain why Paige didn't tell anyone, even Emily, that this other little girl even existed.

Alexis: That's the attorney that brokered the sale of Hank and Paige’s baby. Obviously, it wasn't his first transaction, and they found a $10,000 deposit in Bowen’s bank account. After which, there were records of Rebecca with the Shaw family in Opal City, Washington.

Nikolas: Opal City? You're sure about that? Congratulations, you were very thorough.

Alexis: Why is it that this isn't even registering with you?

Nikolas: Oh, it will. It will, barring a DNA test. Look, I have no doubt that this is probably all true. It just doesn't change anything for me.

Alexis: Well, it should, because the evidence suggests that she's setting you up.

Nikolas: You don't know that.

Alexis: You think it's just a quirk of fate that she's in Washington State, and then just happens to land in Upstate New York and work at the same exact place that Emily worked at?

Nikolas: I'm just saying I'm not ready to jump to conclusions.

Alexis: Well, I'm just saying the fact that you won't even consider this a possibility is just mind-boggling.

Nikolas: Alexis, you don't have any proof that Rebecca knows right now that Emily had a twin sister.

Kristina: Michael has to stay here, and I said he could.

Jason: It's too soon for him to be out of the hospital.

Michael: I feel fine.

Kristina: Good enough for me.

Jason: What if you pass out? What are you going to do, call 911 and hope the ambulance gets here on time?

Michael: If you're trying to scare me, it's not working.

Jason: Okay, I'm going to call your mom and dad and let them know you're okay.

Kristina: You're tattling to his parents? Didn't you just hear Michael? He feels fine. Can you help us out here? Tell Jason he's being totally unfair.

Sam: Wait, I know you think you're helping right now, but you're not.

Michael: I thought you were someone I could trust. But you're just like the rest of them.

Jason: No, I want you to get well. That means doing what the doctors tell you to do.

Michael: Just like you did when you were in the hospital?

Jason: I stuck it out.

Michael: Yeah, but you hated every minute of it, right?

Jason: Yeah, I did. But that's not the point right now.

Michael: Fine. Make all the calls you want. Tell everyone you found me. But I'm not going back to the hospital.

Sam: Wait a minute. I don't get it. What is the big deal with the hospital?

Michael: It feels like prison!

Jason: Prison was being in the coma. You keep this up, and you can end up right back in it.

Alexis: You're in complete denial about this.

Nikolas: Regardless, you have no proof that Rebecca came here with malicious intent.

Alexis: It's a reasonable conclusion.

Nikolas: So -- so, what? You're suggesting that she discovered that she had a twin sister and came here to do what?

Alexis: I have no idea. Ask her.

Nikolas: Yeah. Personally, I think this information would be as big a shock to her as it is to me.

[Alexis sighs]

Alexis: There are a million towns in this country. And she just happens to land in Emily's town working at her place? That's a one-in-a-million shot.

Nikolas: Things like that happen all the time with twins. They have that odd connection with each other. They often marry spouses with the same first name, lead similar lives, etc., etc., etc.

Alexis: I love you so much. But you just aren't going to get this, are you?

Nikolas: She has no agenda.

Alexis: And what makes you so certain?

Nikolas: Because we're close. In the beginning, I might have thought this was true. But not now. When she's with me, she's honest, she's genuine --

Alexis: All right. For the sake of argument, let's just assume the impossible, that Rebecca has no idea that Emily is her twin. Even still, do you really think it's a good idea to be having an intimate relationship with your dead wife's twin sister?

Jason: Your mom fell down the stairs at the hospital.

Michael: Mom's just yanking your chain so you'll drag me back.

Kristina: Technically, Jason works for our dad. You don't have to listen to him. You can tell him what to do.

Sam: Hey.

Michael: How about we split the difference? If I start feeling bad, I'll call you and you can come get me.

Jason: No, you're going back to the hospital. And your mom needs to see you.

Michael: Mom's making you feel sorry for her. She totally manipulates you, and you let her.

Jason: The doctors said that you would never wake up, and your mother refused to give up on you. That's the reason you're standing here throwing attitude instead of lying in a coma at that place in Manhattan.

Michael: Even if that's true, doesn't mean I have to go back to that hospital.

Jason: Please don't make me fight you.

Kristina: You're physically threatening him?

Sam: Hey, stay out of it.

Jason: Michael, please.

[Michael sighs]

Michael: Fine. I'll go. Thanks for trying.

Kristina: I hate how Jason acts. Like he's in charge, and nothing the rest of us say matters.

Sam: Jason just did Michael a huge favor.

Kristina: Right, by bullying him, like he tried to do with me?

Sam: No, no, listen, he's not trying to bully you or any other Woman, Kristina. Come on, what is really going on with you?

Alexis: I'm going to leave these with you. I want you to look them over with your business acumen, and you will see that this is beyond coincidence.

Nikolas: You're so sure about this, aren't you?

Alexis: I believe that I am.

Nikolas: Oh, just like you were so sure that she's involved with some conspiracy with Helena, or that her trip to Greece was really about her getting plastic surgery so she could look like Emily. Please, when is this going to stop? My God.

Alexis: All right, I get it. I was right about the fact that there is more to Rebecca than we know about.

Nikolas: All you proved is that Rebecca and Emily are sisters. That's it. I don't believe it's part of some evil, nefarious plot like you do.

Alexis: Here's the thing. You're trying to replace Emily, and you can't. And by the time you realize the truth, it'll be like losing her all over again.

Kristina: I admit I probably handled things badly tonight, but so did Jason.

Sam: Okay, what did he do?

Kristina: Okay, I have this friend, Chandler Elles -- sweet, but totally messed up. She was at a club, and she called me for help, so I went, and before I could even get to Chandler, Jason appears and drags me away. He didn't even give me a chance to explain.

Sam: Yeah, but you are underage.

Kristina: Should that mean I'm not allowed to help a friend?

[Sam sighs]

Kristina: The point is, Jason didn't even ask why I was there. He threw me in his penthouse like it was a holding cell. I had to beg to come home.

Sam: But you got home.

Kristina: Yeah. I'm in my underwear, about to change into sweats, when Jason barges in looking for Michael.

Sam: Michael was here.

Kristina: Look, I honestly thought I was helping Michael. Maybe I was wrong. The point is, Jason was mean and rude. He also happens to kill people for a living, which is pretty unsettling.

Sam: Really? Have you talked to your father about this?

Kristina: I can't. I never see him. I can't tell Mom -- she'd only freak out. But you believe me, right? I mean, I remember how awful Jason was to you.
