Jake and Elizabeth make it back to her place before he asks "What the hell was that about back at Kelly's? Why were you so cruel to Sam?"
"Jake, you don't know the history between Sam and me. If you did you would not be so quick to come to her defense." She tells him. "Well then why don't you enlighten me?" he sits down in the chair. It doesn't feel like sitting next to her on the couch right now.
"Fine. How about we start with how she watched my son Jake get kidnapped? Or how she hired actors to threaten me and my boys in the park?" she seethes. "Sam is not the poor pitiful soul that everyone makes her out to be."
"Why would she do those things?" Jake asks confused. This does not seem like the person that Jake knows.
"Because she was jealous. Of the fact that not only did me and Jason share a son but that he fell in love with me while he was with her. And because we had a connection even way before Jake was born." She revealed a little too smugly.
But there was something about all this that just didn't make sense to Jake. "But he obviously forgave her, right? I mean he married her and had a child with her." He says. "And you did too because this animosity toward Sam didn't start until recently." He says accusingly.
"I will never fully forgive Sam for what she did to me and my boys. No matter what has happened since then."
"What do mean?" Jake asked.
"It's nothing…" "Liz, tell me the truth." Liz lets out a sigh before answering "Sam may have saved Jake's life a time or two over the course of his life, but that does not mean that she deserves forgiveness."
"What about what you did to Jason, Sam and Danny?" a voice from Elizabeth's door way says. "Why don't you tell Jake about that?"
Sam enters the house that she and Danny now call home. She just picked up Emma from her last day of school before summer vacation. "Can I go and work on the party plans some more?" she asks Sam, eagerly. "Sure, sweetie." Sam laughs softly. Emma absolutely adores Danny and with his birthday coming up she really wanted a hand in planning the party. She rushes off to her room to go and plan as Sam sits down on the couch.
As she was getting her phone out to call and check up on her dad, Patrick and Danny come through the door. "Mommy!" Danny shuts as he wiggles out of Patrick's arms. "My baby!" Sam laughs as she pulls him into her lap to cover his face in kisses. "Did you have fun with your cousin Michael today?" she asks
"Yeah! Mickey fun!" he says.
She and Patrick both laugh. "He could not stop talking about his on the way home." "I'll bet." She smiles. Patrick can tell something is wrong with Sam so he tells Danny "Hey buddy why don't you go and get your cars out and I will be in to play with you as soon as I get changed."
"Ok!" Danny says excited. He gives his mom a kiss on the cheek before running to his room.
"How was your day?" Patrick asks Sam as he leans down to give her a kiss. "Hmmm. It was good." She says, returning his kiss. Patrick is not convinced.
"Sam? What's wrong? Is it about your brother?" he asks softly.
"Not entirely. I had an unpleasant run in with Liz today." She says
"What? What happened?" he asks concerned.
"Well I was at Kelly's and Jake came in and we started talking for a while. He wanted to thank me for waiting with him at the hospital and tell be that he was going to be quitting my father's organization. He also told me that the police caught Duke's real killer. It was Carlos, my father's second." She finishes.
Wow. So, he was telling you the truth. He really didn't kill Duke." Patrick is glad to hear this. While he is still uneasy with him being around Sam it's nice to know that he is not the murderer that everyone thinks he is.
"Yea. Why he lied and made everyone think he was I have no idea. And I guess it doesn't matter now. Then Liz showed up and acted like she had a real problem with me and Jake talking. I told them about what was going on with my dad and Olivia and how I felt responsible. Then Liz said that I was responsible for what happened." She says softly.
Patrick is in disbelief. He can't believe that Elizabeth would say something like that to Sam. He knows that here is no love lost between them but that was years ago and both women have gotten past it. Or so he thought.
"Sam, Liz is my best friend and I love her like a sister but she is completely wrong about this. This was not your fault. This was no one's fault. It was a freak accident that unfortunately happened every day. No one is to blame. Least of all you." he says firmly.
She smiles softly at his and says "thanks."
"Come here." Patrick pulls her into his arms as the lean back on the couch. While Sam understands that he is just trying to make her feel better, a part of her can't help but feel responsible for the pain that her father and Olivia are going through. A pain that she knows all too well.
Nikolas is unable to focus on anything else as his mind keeps going back to the secrets that he is keeping from his cousin. All he can think about is how Lila thinks that her parents never wanted her and they think she was nothing more than a mistake. Nikolas knows just how wrong that is. Sam loved her daughter more than anything in the world. He can see it in her eyes every time she is talked about along with the pain she feels over losing her. But even that is not enough for him to tell her the truth.
