Kate: Jason, what a surprise. We haven’t seen much of you since you and Sonny terminated your business relationship. I guess that should be expected, except real friendships aren’t predicated on whether one is doing business or not. Even so, it would’ve been nice if you had called ahead.
Jason: I need to talk to you.
Sonny: Talk.
Kate: I realize that you’re not the most effusive person in the world, Jason, but some well wishes for Sonny and I would be nice.
Jason: Congratulations. I hope you’re happy.
Kate: We intend to be, despite whatever reason you’re here for.
Jason: Good. I really need to talk to Sonny.
Kate: Fine.
Sonny: Where you going?
Kate: Oh, I have some errands to run.
Sonny: Well, you don’t have to leave.
Kate: But no, I’m going to be back soon.
Nikolas: Yeah, but I think she’s a bit more fragile than you are. I mean, lately she’s just been flooded with all these conflicting emotions about him, you know? And –
Carly: You’ve got to be kidding me.
Kate: Nikolas, you should instruct Carly to be nicer to potential benefactors.
Nikolas: Oh, well, you’ve got my attention.
Kate: Well, very good. I admire what you’re doing with the clinic and I’m here to offer my support.
Nikolas: Really? What did you have in mind?
Kate: I don’t know. I thought we could bat it around. Maybe I could donate from “Crimson” or we could use my resources for a fundraiser. Whatever you think would be most helpful.
Nikolas: Wow, that’s very generous of you, Miss Howard. Thank you.
Kate: But you have to call me Kate.
Woman: Mr. Cassadine, Mayor Floyd on line one.
Nikolas: Right. I’m sorry. I have to take this. Don’t go anywhere.
Kate: No, no, I’ll be right here.
Carly: Wow, aren’t you Miss bountiful?
Kate: Well, I do what I can.
Carly: Yeah, you do. For example, you framed me for lying to Jax when I didn’t.
Kate: But Carly, just think about all the times you did lie to him. I think it more than balances out.
Carly: I think you’re trying to ruin my marriage. So I’m putting you on notice. I intend on keeping my husband. So when Jax and I work things out, and we will, we’re going to be stronger than ever. That’s when you need to watch out. I’m coming after you.
Kate: Okay, great, so what do you think? We should digest what we discussed and then maybe meet together again in a week or so and compare notes?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Kate: See how the clinic can best utilize “Crimson.”
Nikolas: Yeah, that’d be fine. I mean, all this is quite unexpected. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Kate: Well, it’s my privilege.
Sam: Hey, hi.
Kate: Hi.
Sam: I hope I’m — I’m not interrupting anything.
Kate: Oh, no.
Nikolas: No.
Kate: Nikolas and I are done actually, for now.
Sam: Wow, that’s quite a rock.
Kate: Oh, yes, it is. I like it.
Sam: I — I suppose congratulations are in order.
Kate: Sonny and I are getting married in September.
Sam: Great. That’s good. I — I hope it works out.
Kate: Mm-hmm. And do you have doubts, too?
Sam: No, I’m just saying that he’s a complicated guy.
Kate: Mm-hmm, he is.
Sam: You probably already know that, though.
Kate: Yes, I do. Complications have been considered and accepted.
Sam: Good.
Kate: Okay, so I’ll see you soon.
Nikolas: Okay.
Kate: Thanks. Bye.
Kate: I brought cannoli.
Sonny: Hey, from that place my father likes?
Kate: Yes, and they’re almost as good as Theresa’s bakery in Bensonhurst.
Sonny: Thank you very much.
Kate: Nice, right?
Sonny: Yeah.
Kate: All right, I admit it. I was indulging my own guilty pleasure.
Sonny: No, hey, you — you know, it works for me.
Kate: You are so easy. So, you want to address the elephant in the room now or later?
Sonny: You mean Jason?
Kate: Can you tell me why he was there?
Sonny: Done with that. I’m finished with that life. You know that.
Kate: Then why was he here?
Sonny: Because he — I — Jason doesn’t know me as well as I thought he did. He doesn’t — he doesn’t know how I think anymore or how I — how I do things.
Kate: It sounds like he hurt you somehow.
Sonny: He’s under a lot of pressure, and he jumped — he’s jumping to conclusions. He thought that…
Sonny: He thinks that I undermine him.
Kate: But you wouldn’t do that.
Sonny: No, I wouldn’t do that. Thank God that somebody realizes that.
Sonny: After Michael got shot, things between me and Jason have been edgy. You know, because, you know, you were there during the whole thing. Somewhere he turned. And the pressure from running the organization — you know, there’s a lot of — it breeds paranoia and distress, and you don’t know who your friends are, and you’re looking over your shoulder, wondering who’s going to stab you in the back. I know, ’cause I’ve been right there, so I understand what he’s going through. And I’m — and I feel sorry for Jason. But I really… can’t help him.
Sonny: I’m done with all that, right?
Sonny: My life is with you.
Sonny: And I — I’m happy.
