Luke: Hang on tight, angel. Here we go. How long before we know something?
Robin: If Laura does respond to the treatment, it should happen soon.
Robin: You were right. We should've never given Luke false hope or told him about LS-49 because now it's obviously not going to work and I just put Laura at risk for horrible side effects.
Patrick: We told Luke about the side effects from day one.
Robin: Yeah, but I told him about it because I wanted it to work. That's why I didn't push harder to get the family involved --
Patrick: Yeah, but you --
Robin: Or to get other medical opinions.
Patrick: Robin, we gave him opposite opinions. That's appropriate in this situation, plus you told him to go to Paris to meet with LeGrasse.
Robin: I didn't tell anyone the entire truth. The truth is I needed to believe that it could work, that a condition as horrible as Laura has can be reversed, that it's only a matter of time waiting for the right combination of medicine. I needed to believe that science and medicine could find a way to save Laura because if there is hope for Laura, then there's hope for all of us and there's hope for me.
Lucky: Is my dad here?
Robin: Yeah. Just give him a second, okay?
Patrick: Lucky -- Lucky --
Lucky: Dad?
Robin: Wait, you guys --
Lulu: What -- what are you doing to her?
Robin: Nikolas?
Nikolas: What?
Lulu: What is in her I.V. bag?
Robin: It's an experimental drug. It's been -- it's been known to repair damaged neural pathways.
Nikolas: Why didn't you tell us?
Robin: Because Luke wanted to make the decision on his own. He didn't want to burden the three of you in case something were to go wrong.
Patrick: Side effects could be very serious.
Nikolas: Okay. Earlier today, you told me that her condition was irreversible. And -- and now, without consulting me or any other blood relative, you've given her a drug that might actually make her worse?
Robin: Nikolas, it could also bring her back.
Patrick: There's a possibility it could do nothing at all.
Lucky: What are the side effects?
Patrick: Laura could end up in a chronic vegetative state.
Nikolas: Okay, get the -- get the -- get off me.
Robin: Nikolas, you cannot -- no.
Luke: Okay, you have two choices -- you leave on your own or I help you out.
Nikolas: You can be as reckless as you want with your own life, Luke. But I won't allow you to risk my mother’s.
Luke: You won't allow?
Patrick: You guys, take it outside now. If Laura regains consciousness, we don't want her agitated.
Nikolas: You had no right to do this without consulting us.
Luke: I had no right?
Nikolas: No right --
Lulu: This is why you left the Quartermaines' so fast, isn't it?
Nikolas: And -- and since when is Luke making decisions about Laura’s care? We're her children --
Lucky: Okay.
Nikolas: Making us next of kin. They're not even married anymore!
Lucky: Okay, why didn't you tell us?
Lulu: Because he knew we would try and stop him. She is our mother. How could you risk making her get worse?
Nikolas: We're her children and we want this stopped immediately.
Lucky: No. I don’t.
Lucky: Mom and Dad are not married on paper, but they're as close as two people can be.
Nikolas: Not from a legal standpoint, they're not, Lucky. We can stop this right now before our mother ends up trapped in a bed breathing through a tube.
Lucky: Okay, you know what? I haven't made the greatest choices lately,; my credibility is shot. But if the mother I knew growing up had a choice between getting her life back or sitting in a chair and staring at a wall --
Lulu: At least she's alive!
Lucky: Is she? What kind of life does she have? You know what? That medicine may work; it may not. But I know our mother would take that chance, and all dad did was do it for her.
Nikolas: How long will it take before the medicine starts to work?
Robin: Laura should be responding by now.
Lulu: Dad?
Patrick: Just give them a second.
Luke: Laura? Sweetheart, I'm here. Can you hear me, Laura?
Nikolas: If Laura wakes up, what should we expect?
Lulu: How much will she remember?
Patrick: There's a chance she might experience memory loss, a change in personality. Then there's the trauma that caused the initial catatonia.
Lulu: Oh, so, if she remembers, she might go crazy again?
Patrick: A strong possibility, yes.
Nikolas: So -- so you could be bringing her back just so she can live through her stepfather's death all over again? And that's assuming that she comes around at all.
Lulu: How could you do this? Why couldn't you just leave her alone?
Lucky: Nothing at all?
Lulu: Sorry.
Luke: There's nothing to be sorry for. This is why I didn't want the family involved.
Luke: How is she?
Robin: Laura's still unresponsive. We all knew that there was a very small chance that this treatment could work. The good news is Laura does not seem to be experiencing any of the side effects.
Nikolas: Is there -- is there anything that we can do?
Patrick: We'll keep an eye on her. Unfortunately, there should have been a response by now.
Robin: I'm so sorry. This is not the outcome any of us wanted.
Nikolas: I want to say goodbye to her. When Spencer gets a little older, I promise I'll bring him here to see you, okay? You should see how big he's gotten, already. You know, I see more of you in him every day. That look in your eye. The smile. Strong will. That's all I have left of you. That's okay. That's okay, because I'm grateful for that. I love you.
Lucky: I wish I had you back. But I can't change that, so -- I'll find some way to accept it. That's how I've been getting my life back, one day at a time. I'm getting clean and sober for Elizabeth, our baby, and for you, mom. I love you.
Lulu: I really wanted you back. But I was scared, too. Dad said that you would understand about the abortion, but I don't know. What if you didn't? And if you came out of it, I'm so afraid that you wouldn't want me as a daughter anymore. I just -- I wish -- I miss you.
Luke: So much for the miracle of modern medicine. I guess you were right, Dr. Drake.
Patrick: I wish I hadn't been.
Robin: Luke, I apologize for creating false hope.
Luke: I think you had some hopes brewing yourself, didn't you? Well, I'm sorry you kids got involved. I know it's disappointing.
Robin: Well, we'll give you some time. Take as long as you want.
Luke: Thanks.
Robin: Excuse me. I should have stayed in research. Every single time I step out of the lab, look what happens. You were right. I should have told the family. Now Nikolas is furious with me, and I don't blame him. And -- poor Lulu. I should have insisted that Luke inform them. The thing is, though, I honestly thought that LS49 would work.
Patrick: It might still work.
Luke: I hope you're safe in there. Wherever you are.
Luke: I hope you're not afraid. I hope this didn't cause you any pain. I had to try to bring you back. For the kids. And for us.
Luke: We've beaten the odds so many times.
Luke: You and I.
Luke: But I guess this time, the house wins.
Luke: Our luck didn't hold.
Luke: I love you.
Laura: Luke?
