The hospital

[Courtney heads towards the lab and sees Jason]

Courtney: What are you doing here?

Jason: Same as you, waiting for Carly.

[Carly dressed as a doctor tries to get into the lab but Jason stops her]

Carly: Damn it! Jason, what are you doing?

Jason: I'm about to stop you from doing something stupid.

Courtney: Carly, jason's right. Switching the D.N.A. Samples -- it'll never work.

Carly: I told you what I was going to do and you said it was a great idea. How can you turn on me now? You both know why I have to do this.

Carly: You were always telling me how much sonny and I belong together. And that you would do anything for us. So here's your chance to prove it.

Courtney: Ok, carly, you're twisting this around.

Carly: Courtney, you know that this is the only way. You know that sonny will move heaven and earth to provide for at child if it turns out to be his. And he is going to be committed to it for the rest of its li, even if it means that he's going to destroy the family that he already has.

Courtney: But, carly, you are wonderful with children. I know that you can find it in your heart to care for this baby.

Carly: Oh, the baby? Ok, what about the mother? Sam's not going to disappear. This is all part of her scheme to worm her way into sonny's life, to trap him --

jason: Carly, you're wrong.

Carly: To do what --

jason: You're wrong.

Carly: I forgot. You're sam's new best friend.

Jason: Huh. No. Sam made a mistake, the exact same one you made twice. So try to have a little compassion.

Carly: I got pregnant by accident, jason. And sam did it deliberately because she knew that there would be no way sonny could turn his back on a child. And, you -- you know that sam is a cold-blooded schemer, and how you could ever go to jason with it, I am not going to understand.

Jason: She did not, ok? I know you better than anyone and I know when you heard there was a paternity test, you'd be right at this lab to try to tamper with the results.

Carly: So if you know me so well, then you know that it's right.

Jason: How can you even think about handing that baby over to jax if it turns out to be sonny's?

Carly: Because I am trying to protect sonny and my childn from -- from sam.

Jason: Ok.

Carly: And I don't know why you're worried. Because if -- if the baby is -- I -- jax will take care of it. Right? He will get everything -- the best of everything.

Jason: Sonny's going to find out. He always does. It's going to cause another fight and it's going to blow your life with sonny apart.

Carly: It's already happening, jason. Because I know in my heart that sam's baby is sonny'S.

The Gazebo

Courtney: Hi. Thank you for meeting me.

Jason: What do you need?

Courtney: I have a favor to ask. It's about sam and her baby. Look, jax and sonny have a lot of bad blood between them -- arguments about business and competition with people, their lives. I mean, they were both involved with sam --

jason: Yeah, well, it's not going to matter once the paternity results come back.

Courtney: Ok. Well, if jax does turn out to be the father, sonny is going to try to jump in and protect sam and -- just don't let m do it, jason. It's only going to make e things worse.

Jason: Why are you getting involved in this?

Courtney: Because I think  I I can help, if only by being objective jax cared about sam. You know? I mean, they had barely broken up when she started sleeping with sonny. And from his point of view, it looks like she pulled a con job on all of them. Jax -- he's not a bad person. You know? I mean, there's months to go before the baby's going to be born and he'll calm down. And once he does, he and sam -- I'm sure they'll work out something that'll b beneficial to everyone. But there's no way that's going to happen if you and sonny rush to the rescue and, I don't know, give sam money or get her an attorney or, god forbid, help her disappear.

Jason: We'll see what the test results are.

Jason: Sam's baby has nothing to do with you, courtney.

Courtney: If sonny's the father, jason, I'd be the baby's aunt.

Jason: No, I'm saying, look, you have a different life now -- separate, just like you wanted. Nothing we do can hurt you anymore.

Courtney: I don't understand. Are you apologizing or are you shutting me out?

Jason: There's no point in apologizing. It's not going to change anything. I got to go.
