Jason just had the charges dropped and evilly smirks as he is told Franco dropped the charges and he can hear him in the interrogation room bitching and complaining about it to Elizabeth. The asshole is whining about how now that he is back it is about a matter of time before Elizabeth falls back in love with him and they will be the perfect family. Jason thinks he is right about one thing he will be claiming his family and be a father to all of his kids. It is such a shame that Elizabeth still attracts men who act like boys who need their egos soothed and need to be reminded that Jason is not a threat and she loves them but he knows she is lying just like she always has when it comes to her love for him. He will be changing that among other things. A lot of changed while he was away but so has he and if Sam is happy with this other man he will not stop her but she will not take his son because it has to be worth it. Breaking Elizabeth's heart but marrying Sam and having a child with her has to be worth it. As Diane is getting his papers processed Carly and Sonny walk in. He is grateful Sonny recognized him and even though he went after the man who kidnapped Sam and brought her to Sonny's they had limited contact. Before Carly and Sonny can speak, He sees Sam and the other guy walk in and a guy behind him in handcuffs then he hears the interrogation door open and everyone halts. The police commissioner who he believes her name is Jordan starts speaking: " I Know everyone has questions and we were able to locate Andre here because he knows which man is Jason Morgan he told us the other man is his twin named Andrew Cain." The guy named Andrew speaks " Well that explains it I am Jason Morgan and that guy is my twin Andrew Cain." Jason smartly replies " You may have my memories but you could never be me. I mean a media company that requires me to talk to people. I hate social events and I hate people even more." Before Andrew can start you hear a smack and it is Elizabeth smacking Andre " You bastard I let you help my son when he was brainwashed and now I find out you had something to do with what happened to his father I should kick your ass." Jason moves faster than Franco and pulls her back and says " Easy there slugger we need answers and you can kick his ass and I will help you afterwards." She calms down and goes back to Franco. You could cut the tension with a knife and Andre finally recovers " I could list all of the reasons why I did what I did but you guys want the truth. I created a program and I was able to map Jason and Andrew's brains and was able to successfully transfer Jason's memories to Andrew. The original plan was to memory swap but Jason's brain injury prevented that so we decided to send Andrew to Port Charles in Jason's place since he was able to be brainwashed. I was sent to watch and observe him but then the accident happened and forgot everything. He turns to Andrew and says " You are Andrew Cain and he is Jason Morgan." Andrew grabs Andre " What did they pay you to lie? He cannot have my life and he cannot have my children." A cop pulls them apart and takes Andre away. Andrew refuses to believe it and he looks at everyone's faces to see if anyone believes him as Sam grabs his hand he feels relief and looks at Elizabeth and he can tell she does not believe him and that makes him angry. He lets go of Sam's hand and before he can get to Elizabeth Jason steps forward " I would not do that if I were you. If you truly were me you would not even think it." Andrew looks over Jason's shoulder at her as Franco wraps his arm over her shoulder and Andrew says " Of course, you believe him because you know I did not take your bullshit when you kept my identity a secret but this guy is being nice to you and you are eating this up. I have news for you I am coming for my son since you cannot be trusted with him." Jason grabs him by his suit jacket and states " You will not insult Elizabeth in my presence and you damn sure are not taking Jake from her because you are going to have to go through me. She made a mistake but who fucking hasn't but does it even matter when you are not me. So back off and you will not be threatened so go home with your wife and your daughter. You can have the penthouse but everything else will be mine by the end of the night including my identity." He releases him and he makes his exit as Sam looks back at them and leaves. Franco makes a comment no one asked for " Well that was entertaining come on Elizabeth I need to drop you off at home before I make my trip." She nods but she looks at Jason and says " Thank you for sticking up for me and congrats on everything." Jason says " Have you told Jake about me?" Elizabeth says " I have and he is processing it and I have a new address and phone number."
She grabs a pen and paper writes it down and says " Here contact me and we will figure it out but I need to get going take care of yourself." She makes her exit and he follows her with his eyes as Carly and Sonny watch the whole thing. Carly thinks Oh no not again. I have to figure out to snatch the blinders off again oh well it is a hard job but someone has to do it.
Elizabeth is brought out her thoughts by a knock on the door and she sits her hot chocolate with sprinkles on the kitchen counter. She is shocked that is Jason but she lets him in. Elizabeth says " Hey I see you made your escape from Carly how long do you have?" Jason quietly chuckles at that " Well I kept her distracted because I told her she could take my credit card and go shopping for my new place and I had Diane provide her with an address that is a warehouse instead of my actual address." Elizabeth smiles at that " The great Jason Morgan deceived Carly and she does not know where you live. My my my oh the tides have turned but what brings you by?" Jason says well I wanted to talk to you in person and figure out how to handle everything with Jake and how would you feel about me having a relationship with Cameron and Elena as well. I do not want them to feel left out and I will even set up their rooms at my place when they visit and they can pick out what they want." Elizabeth is impressed and feels guilty about keeping another child from him but if she tells him now will that change anything? Sure he is placating Carly now but sooner or later he will be at their beck and call and she will be left to clean up the mess but he seems to want to try. Elizabeth responds " How about we talk to them together and see how they feel about it? Right now Jake wants to take it slow but he will come around because he understands you were taken just like him and it was not your choice. He just needs to know you aren't going anywhere." Jason says " That sounds fair so when can we talk to them?" Elizabeth says " Well they are actually at the Quartermaines. Edward and Elena are two peas in a pod and Cameron even calls Monica Grandma and Jake seems to love to antagonize Tracey and Edward just eats that right up." Jason says " That sounds like Edward and I see Jake is carrying on in the Morgan tradition of pissing off Tracey." Elizabeth says " Come on troublemaker, they have later bedtime because it is the weekend so they will be up for a few more hours." As Elizabeth steps out she notices his motorcycle and clears her throat " Umm excuse me you brought your motorcycle and did not tell me well that is just rude." Jason replies " I am not known for my manners you know. I lost my Quartermaine manners a long time ago." Elizabeth makes her way to his motorcycle " Well you are rude to other people but never to me even when I piss you off." Jason smirks as he hands her helmet and she stores her purse in his saddle and says " We both know why I can never be rude to you. It goes against Morgans' DNA to do so." He starts and they make their way to the mansion Elizabeth missed how the wind felt on the back of his back and how freeing it was. He takes the long way and it takes them 30 minutes instead of 15 to get there. When they arrive the door opens as Jake and Elena stand there with Monica in the background in shock at the motorcycle and who's on it. They hear her say " That was so awesome I can't believe I forgot how fast you like to ride." Jason responds " We both know no matter how much time passes I am always an expert at riding." She lightly punches him and she mutters brat as she looks at her kids and has a deer in headlights look. Jake speaks up " Mom you were on a motorcycle that is so cool I can't wait until I am big enough to ride one." Before she can respond Jason steps in " Hey Jake I do not know if you remember me but when you are comfortable and if it is okay with your mom I can take you. I have another motorcycle and it has a seat made for kids." Jake's eyes light up and so does Elena's and they wait for their mom to answer. Elizabeth mutters to herself and finally answers " With that look on your face Elena do you want to take a ride on Jason's motorcycle as well?" Elena bounces up and down as they make their way into the foyer. Elena replies " Yes mama motorcycles are so cool and now I am going to tell all the second graders in my class that not only is my mama the smartest and prettiest but she is the coolest because she can ride a motorcycle. Oh, can I take it for a show and tell me in two weeks that would be awesome." Elena is such a little tomboy and loves roughhousing with her brothers. Elizabeth squats down to her and says " Slow down there missy. First, we have to get you guys helmets and jackets to look cool and keep you warm okay." Jason bends down so he is at eye level with Elena and Jake shyly joins in and looks at both of them " I will make you a deal if it is not snowing in two weeks and your teacher says it ok for you guys to come outside then I will bring it." Elena is excited and even hugs him and almost knocks him down. Jason enjoys the hug and when she releases him he says " You remind me so much of your mom when is excited about something." Elena asks " Have you known my mommy for a long time since she is a little like me." Jason answers " I did not know your mom when she was your age but I have known your mama since she was 16. Elena says " Wow you have known her since she was almost the same age as Cam. That is a long time." Jake steps in " I saw a picture once of Mom in a leather Jacket but she still kind of looks the same but her hair isn't curly." Jason looks at his son and says " I bought your mom that jacket as a present for being so nice and such a good friend." Jake responds " She still has that jacket but I only seen her wear around Christmas." Jason looks at her and she has silent tears in her eyes and he looks at the kids again " If it's okay with your mom and you guys I can take the motorcycle store and we can customize your jackets and helmets." Jake and Elena look to their mom and before she can answer they hear Edward and Cameron bantering. They stop when they see Jason and Edward is humbled. Jason had already seen Monica earlier and they had a nice long talk and even hugged and she cried. Edward says " Are you just going to stand there boy or going to give your grandfather a hug for making me worry." Jason surprises everyone and hugs him and after he releases him Jason says " I missed you too old man I see you still causing trouble." Edward waves him off and Jason turns to Cameron " Hey Cam it has been a long time." He is frozen and then he takes in a sprint like he used to when he was little and hugs Jason and with momentum knocks him down Jason does not mind but Elizabeth is worried. As they hug it out Jason rubs his back and he tells Elizabeth it is okay. They get up and Cam apologizes and Jason replies " I promise I am a lot tougher than I look." Elizabeth snorts in the background and Cam says " Do not get me wrong I liked the other guy when he was nice to Mom but when I heard there were two of you I knew it had to be you. You were always so nice to me and Jake and would never yell at my mom." Elizabeth sees Jason's hands clench and she goes over and tells her to relax. Elizabeth changes the subject " So Cam Jason here is offering motorcycle rides to Jake and Elena is even getting them their jackets and helmets ( you hear them in the background say yes and awesome) would you be interested in that?" Cam turns to Jason " Heck yeah he owes me a ride since someone did not let him do it before and my jacket and helmet. I can see it now and Jake can draw out the designs for us." Jason is in amazement that his son got his talent from his mom. Jason asks " You are an artist like your mom." Jake nods his head and says " Grandma Monica is okay if we use the studio so I can draw out the design?" She answers " Of course dear how about you guys go there and I will have the cook whipped up some of her famous hot chocolate with a side of vanilla ice cream and brownies just how you guys like it." They all hug and kiss her on the cheek and say thank you. Elena skips away and Monica says " I swear Elena reminds me so much of Emily sometimes even the way she likes her brownies cut up and dipped in ice cream." Elizabeth wipes her tears " I wish Em were here she would be teasing us now and helping the kids make a mess." Monica says " Yes I miss her too and yet Grandma's duties are in full effect so if you excuse me." Edward says " It makes sense Elena would be like Emily because you two were best friends and she has been light to family especially when we thought we lost Jacob and Jason but order has been restored in the Quartermaine household. Do not be a stranger, you wayward Quartermaine and Elizabeth are always a pleasure." When Jake died and the truth came out of his paternity the Quartermaines were devastated and she felt guilty that she only told Edward at first because Monica was rude but they talked it out and both apologized. She told Monica the truth about Elena and Elizabeth explained the truth about the circumstances and her reasons. Monica empathizes with the young mother and is appalled at what Sam did and what Jason allowed. She was furious but agreed that since Jason was dead and no one could protect Elena it would be safer if the secret was kept between Edward, Monica, and Elizabeth. Jason spots Tracey and tells Elizabeth she can meet him in his old room and he will be right there. Time to take out the trash he thought.
