Mary: Connor?
'Connor': What, what's wrong?
Mary: I was afraid you'd come back here.
'Connor': Well, why wouldn't you want me to come back to the church?
Emily: Making a clean getaway?
Dillon: Yeah. Georgie's dad is out for blood. Need a place to stay.
Emily: Still determined to live on your own, huh?
Dillon: Yeah, I got no choice. I cannot let the family run my life.
Emily: You sound like Nikolas.
Dillon: Thanks.
Emily: All right, well, hurry up. Go, go before grandfather sees you.
Edward: Too late.
Mary: It's not the church I'm afraid of; it's you. You haven't seen a doctor since you left the V.A. Hospital.
'Connor': Mary, I -- I feel fine.
Mary: You're still getting headaches and you haven't recovered any of your memories.
'Connor': Yeah. Well, you know, keeping me locked up won't help.
Mary: I know it must be hard not being able to go anywhere or see anyone else, but I'm --
'Connor': I'm not going to stay in hiding while you go out and work to support me. I may not remember who I was, but I can certainly tell you that I wasn't lazy.
Mary: Of course not.
'Connor': Yeah, I need to get back to the man that I was. That's why I came back to the church, Mary. I need answers.
Dillon: I left some D.V.D.’s here the other day. I just came by to pick them up; that's all.
Edward: Dillon, help me regain control of E.L.Q., and you won't find the locks changed when you need a place to lay your overstyled hair.
Dillon: I don't need anything from you.
Edward: You didn't last a week on your own. You know as well as I do, you're nothing without this family.
Emily: Grandfather, if you want Dillon to stay, give him a reason. And I don't mean blackmail.
Edward: You are so fortunate to have a champion like Emily; one of the few people around here who's worthy of my respect.
Dillon: Emily is -- is awesome. But that has nothing to do with you!
Edward: My boy, if I come across as harsh, it's because I want to protect my legacy. The wealth that you children pretend not to enjoy, the bed you slept in last night, the scones you stuffed your pocket with this morning -- admit it, Dillon, it's not so bad to be rich.
Ned: Has anyone seen mother?
Dillon: I've been trying to avoid her, personally.
Tracy: Oh, yippee! You both failed! So, Ned, my darling, I suppose you're going to accuse me of double-crossing you on the Patterson deal, hmm?
Ned: Actually, I'm going to thank you. I'm going to thank you for making my dreams come true.
'Connor': I -- I asked Mary to leave me here alone, but -- but I didn't explain why. The truth is -- and the truth is, I just -- I -- I hate being taken care of. You know, it makes me feel weak; it makes me feel useless, and -- you know, I -- I was a soldier before, Father. I mean, that must have given me some purpose.
Priest: You know, Connor, there's a fine line between purpose and pride.
'Connor': Are you saying that it's selfish that I want to support my wife?
Priest: No, no, not at all. I'm simply suggesting you try to include Mary in your plans, rather than direct your frustration at her.
'Connor': Yeah, maybe you're right. Mary -- she deserves my best.
Emily: Mary? Hi. Are you here to eat?
Mary: I -- I need a cookie fix. I was craving chocolate chip and I refuse to make an entire batch for myself.
Emily: Um -- thank you again so much for last night. It helps so much to be with someone who understands what it's like to lose the person you love.
Mary: I'm happy I could listen, Emily, but you don't need me. It's obvious you're a really strong person.
Emily: Soare you.
Mary: No. I try to be, but sometimes the sadness makes it difficult for me to see things clearly.
Emily: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It helps me to go to the little church in the woods. You know, whenever I’m there, it's like Nikolas is still with me.
Mary: Hi.
'Connor': Hi.
Mary: I thought we can walk home together.
'Connor': Yeah. I'm sorry that I was short with you earlier.
Mary: No, you don't have to apologize.
'Connor': I just -- I'm -- I’m frustrated, you know? And -- but I don't want you to have to suffer for it.
Mary: Do I look like I’m suffering? I'm happy. I'm so happy to have you back. I can't help but want to make you happy, too.
'Connor': Yeah, yeah. I think I finally have a place to start, anyway. The priest. The priest -- he -- he told me that I should accept all that you've done for me, and make sure that you know how much I appreciate it.
Mary: I like this guy.
'Connor': He also gave me a job. The church needs to be painted, inside and out. So I’m going to be here working every day for a while.
Mary: You can’t.
Jason: Physically, he's feeling better. He's awake. He's -- he's talking. He even tried to get me to pay somebody off for him.
Emily: Oh, God. Does it ever bother you that he's turning into Sonny right in -- right in front of your eyes?
Jason: I admire Sonny.
Emily: But you wouldn't want Michael to grow up just like him.
Jason: Trust me, Michael’s definitely his own person.
Emily: Yeah. I know you're still worried about him, huh? You know, mom's been monitoring his case. She -- she says he's doing really well.
Jason: Yeah, I know, but he's going to get hurt again. Michael did this. He ran away, he pretended to be kidnapped so -- so he can get Sonny and Carly back together. And it's not like this kid did it for a selfish reason. It's like he's fighting for himself and he's fighting for Morgan. And fighting for the life that he wants. Which is exactly what we -- which we taught him to do, but it's not -- it's not going to happen. I mean, Sonny and Carly are in there right now explaining that nothing he does is going to stop the divorce.
Emily: You're right. It's going to hurt a whole lot worse than the fall ever did.
Jason: And I want to be -- I want to be there with him, you know? But if I’m -- if I’m standing in the hall, he can use me to hide from his parents, which is exactly what he tried to do in the custody hearing when he said that he wanted to be with me instead of them. So I’m just trying to keep my distance. But, you know, if you -- if you check on him to see if he needs me, that'd be -- that'd be good.
Emily: Yeah. I'll be back in five minutes with an update, okay?
Jason: Thank you.
Emily: All right. Hey, Jase, Michael’s going to be all right. He has you to help him through this.
In progress...Jason and Courtney discuss the sale of her waterfront property.
Jason: Yeah, congratulations, Courtney. You sold out to Sonny's enemy. If you wanted payback, you got it.
Emily: Jason, you need to come to I.C.U. They're taking Michael for emergency surgery.
