GH 12.29.00 - Alan makes an appeal to Z; Z needs a place

Zander wakes up to find Alan in his hospital room. Alan wants Zander's word that he'll stay away from Emily. Alan has decided to try and appeal to Zander's conscious. Violence will always follow him, Alan warns, therefore Emily will always be in danger. Sorel can still run things within prison. Alan asks Zander to do one unselfish thing and let Emily go. Emily walks in and Alan says he was just taking her advice and getting to know Zander. Alan leaves. Emily knows why Alan was really there. Zander thinks Emily should be out enjoying her vacation. Emily informs him that he's not going to get rid of her. She tells Zander he's being manipulated. Zander argues that her family's fear is justified. Emily says she's alive because of him. She doesn't owe him anything, Zander insists. She says she's just as invested as he is in getting Sorel put away and she's not backing off. He calls her stubborn. Taggert strolls in. Zander is being discharged and Taggert wants to take him into protective custody. Emily calls Alexis for help. Taggert warns that Sorel is going to keep coming after Zander. Zander doesn't believe the cops will protect him. Alexis shows up and says she'll be taking care of everything. After tossing around a few ideas, Alexis takes Zander to her place. Surprise, Ned!
