The Loft
[Knock on door]
Jason: Courtney?
[Knock]
Jax: Hey. Just came to see if
Courtney was all right.
Courtney: Jax. Ok, look, feel
free to make any assumptions you want, but I'm not going to dignify them with a
response or an apology.
Jax: No, if you're implying that
I think something went on between you and Jason last night, the thought never
crossed my mind.
Jax: Jason obviously got stuck in
the blizzard and needed a place to stay.
Courtney: Actually, that is what
happened.
Jax: Mm-hmm.
[Phone rings]
Jason: Yeah?
Sonny: It's me. I haven't heard
from Alexis.
Jason: She didn't come pick
Kristina up?
Sonny: Nope. I got word that they
found Ric's car up by Eagle Creek covered with snow and no sign of Ric or
Alexis.
Jason: Any tracks?
Sonny: Yeah, it's all covered.
PCPD says they're going to mobilize a search, but I want all our people up
there.
Jason: Ok, I'm on it.
Courtney: What happened?
Jason: Ric and Alexis were
supposed to pick Kristina up from Sonny’s. They never showed. Then they found
Ric’s car abandoned near Eagle Rock.
Courtney: Well, if they've been
out all night --
Jax: We don't have any time to
waste.
Jason: What do you mean,
"we"?
Jax: Alexis is a dear friend of
mine. I'm going to help with the search.
Kelly's
Jason: Did you talk to Father
Coates?
Courtney: Yeah. He said he'd have
the church ready for the christening as soon as everybody got back. Hey.
Sam: Hey. What happened?
Courtney: Oh, Alexis and Ric got
stranded near Eagle Rock.
Sam: Wow. Are they all right?
Courtney: Yeah, they're fine.
Jason: Sonny and Jax went up to
find them.
Mike: Sonny and Jax? Whew --
that's an unlikely pair.
Courtney: Well, Sonny didn't want
to start the christening without Alexis, and Jax offered to help look, so now
everything can go off as scheduled, except for one little detail.
Mike: What's that?
Courtney: Sonny asked me to get
the christening gown, and I completely forgot. I know, I know -- and now it's
too late. The stores are all closed.
Mike: Look, Alexis must have
something that Kristina can wear.
Courtney: Yeah, but a christening
gown -- it's supposed to be special, dad.
Sam: Maybe I can help.
Sam: You're in luck. I bought
this for my daughter.
Courtney: Sam, it's beautiful.
Sam: You know, I was a little
clueless about sizes, so I think it's probably a little big in the length. You
might have to take it out or alter it somehow -- I don't know.
Jason: Sam, you don't have to do
this.
Sam: I want to, Jason.
Courtney: I think it would be
perfect.
Mike: Hey, sweetheart, you know,
you were always good at that kind of thing. Now, I've got an emergency sewing
kit in the back. Anything else you need?
Courtney: Scissors.
Mike: You got it.
Courtney: Are you sure?
Sam: Yeah. Yeah.
Courtney: Ok.
PH4
Sonny: She really had a -- she
had a great time here, you know, playing around and everything.
Alexis: Good. I'm glad. I wanted
her to have a good time. I want you to be happy, ok?
[Jason and Courtney come in]
Courtney: Hey. Here's the
christening gown.
Sonny: Where'd you get it?
Courtney: Sam. It's the one she
bought for her baby. We had to do some alterations, but I'm sure it'll fit
Kristina just fine.
Alexis: Thank you. I think it's
beautiful.
Sonny: Why didn't Sam bring it,
Jason?
Jason: She, you know, wasn't sure
she should come or not.
Sonny: I understand. Ok. Well,
we'd better get going, right?
Alexis: I'm going to have to go
home and change. I don't have anything to wear.
Ric: No, you're not going to have
any time, you know, the roads are really -- really still very bad.
Carly: Ok -- Alexis, maybe I've
got something in my closet that will work for you, something conservative
enough for you.
Alexis: I haven't worn a size two
since I've been 12.
Carly: Maybe I've got some old
maternity wear.
Alexis: Very nice.
Carly: Great.
Alexis: Wasn't that nice?
Ric: Mm-hmm. It’s the season for
giving.
