Drew: [ Sighs ] All right, Cassadine. Here I am. Why was it so important we meet in person?
Victor: Hmm, I see weāre dispensing with the pleasantries.
Drew: Mm, I think I made it pretty clear what I think about you.
Victor: Yet here you stand. Are you alone?
Drew: Why? You got something up your sleeve? As usual?
<hr?
Dante: You still getting feedback?
Sam: Yeah, what about you?
Dante: Yeah. I donāt understand, w-we ā we ā we heard Drew fine when we did a sound check earlier.
Sam: Do you want to go over the checklist again?
Dante: Well, yeah, the wireless transmitter is functioning. The firmware is current.
Sam: Okay, well, what about the software on your tablet? Is that ā
Dante: I updated it this morning. You canāt hear anything thatās going on?
Sam: No. And if I canāt hear Drew, he canāt hear us.
Dante: That means heās on his own with Victor.
Portia: Oh. Oh! Oh my, God, Jordan. [ Laughs ] Iām so, so sorry. I ā God, I should be watching where Iām going.
Jordan: You and me both.
Portia: Is everything okay?
Jordan: Yes, yeah, Iām just here for a checkup. But I feel pretty good.
Portia: Well, good, thatās ā thatās what we like to hear. [ Chuckles ]
Jordan: Yeah. I should be checking in soon.
Portia: Okay. Jordan, um, do youā¦ have time to answer just ā just ā just one question? Somethingās been weighing on my mind.
Jordan: Sure.
Portia: Do you consider Spencer Cassadineā¦ dangerous?
Spencer: [ Chuckling ] Trina, you must be psychic. I was just thinking about you.
Trina: Iāve been thinking about you, too.
Spencer: I was hoping youād visit.
Trina: Lifeās been hectic.
Spencer: I heard about the sex tape.
Trina: Itās been rough on Cam, but I canāt even begin to describe what Joss is going through.
Spencer: What about you? I know that you and Joss are best friends. Her pain must be your pain.
Trina: Which is why Iām here.
Spencer: So your first visit isnāt a social call.
Trina: This isnāt a social call. And this isnāt just my first visit. Itās also my last.
Britt: Carly, hi. Hey, you okay?
Carly: Hey. Iām fine.
Britt: Uh, hey, I thought we made peace on Valentineās Day. Or was that just a temporary truce?
Carly: Oh, God ā no, no, weāre fine. Weāre good. I ā itās just, um, a lot going on.
Britt: Jason.
Carly: What about Jason?
Britt: Oh, uh, Iām sorry. I thought you knew.
Carly: Thought I knew what?
Britt: Uhā¦ [ Sighs ] Monicaās decided to have Jason legally declared dead.
[ Knock on door ]
[ Knocking continues ]
Sonny: Okay.
Sonny: [ Exhales sharply ] You want to know if I ā if I talked to Michael. Am I right?
Nina: Yeah, uh, youāre right. Did you?
Sonny Yeah, Michael and Willow.
Nina: Well, I guess Iām too late, then. I was having second thoughts.
Sonny: Why?
Nina: I just didnāt want to cause you any more trouble, Sonny. So, howād it go?
Sonny: Michael and Willow donāt want anything to ā you know, they donāt want you to see, uh, Wiley. End of ā end of discussion.
Nina: Okay, okay. Well, thanks, at least, for trying. Um, I will call Martin Grey, and I will tell him to start the paperwork.
[ Tray Crashing ]
Nina: Oh!
Sonny: I told you I’d fix it! And I will!
Jordan: If youāre asking for my personal opinion of Spencer, I havenāt really formed one.
Portia: Okay, and your professional one?
Jordan: Not so much an opinion as facts. Spencer Cassadine is a convicted felon, currently serving a custodial sentence at Spring Ridge. Heās never been charged with a violent infraction.
Portia: He admitted to stalking, harassing, damaging property. That sounds like someone thatās capable of violence.
Jordan: If you mean setting Ava Jeromeās car on fire, Spencer had an alibi.
Portia: Yes. Oh, yes, I know. Which brings me straight to his girlfriend, Esme Prince. Why exactly wasnāt she charged?
Jordan: Thatās complicated, but may I ask ā why all the questions about Spencer and Esme?
[ Elevator bell dings ]
Portia: Well, I-I need to know the risks involved for someone thatās in their lives.
Jordan: Is this about Trina?
Curtis: What happened to Trina?
Spencer: This is your first and last visitā¦ because Iām getting out soon?
Trina: No, itās because of your girlfriend. As long as Esmeās in your lifeā¦ I canāt be.
Spencer: [ Clears throat ]
Trina: [ Sighs ]
Spencer: I want to discuss this with you, but right now is not a good time.
Trina: When is a good time, Spencer? Joss and Cam told me you avoided this conversation at the cabin, too.
Trina: [ Sighs ]
Spencer: Iām not avoiding the conversationā¦ but Esme is here, okay? She interns at Spring Ridge for her psychology class.
Trina: Youāre never gonna change. Will you, Spencer?
Spencer: What is that supposed to mean?
Trina: It means no matter how many horrible things Esme does, you keep trying to make her happy. Itās been very apparent that you make Esme the priority since she first got here. Correction ā since she first showed herself. Who knows how long you and Esme have been lurking around Port Charles, planting creepy gifts for children to find?
Spencer: That is not ā I made some horrible mistakes. Thatās why Iām here ā to pay for them.
Trina: Esme should be the one paying! Sheās the one who torched a car! Sheās taking a step back and letting you take the fall, and youāre obviously okay with that. Just like youāre okay with the fact that Esme taped Joss and Cam having sex and showed it to the entire world.
Spencer: Trina, no, youāve got it all wrong!
Trina: No, Iāve got it all right! Which is why Iām giving you this. Take it. I donāt want it anymore.
Dante: I-I donāt understand ā the wi-fi signal is garbage. I checked it yesterday, and it was totally fine.
Sam: I knew I should have called Spinelli. No, we ā
Dante: We donāt need Spinelli. I just need some time so I can figure this out.
Sam: We donāt have any time. Maybe you should just ā I donāt know ā move the van. We have to leave. Find a new spot.
Dante: āLeaf.ā Leaf, youāre right. Sam, oh, my God. Like, it rained, and the wet leaves are interfering with the wi-fi signal. Thatās it.
Sam: Oh, my God, why didnāt I think of that?
Dante: Well, gotta move the van a few feet.
Sam: Okay.
Dante: Weāll have sound loud and clear.
Sam: Hurry up! We need to know whatās going on between Victor and Drew on that bridge.
Drew: You said you wanted to discuss ELQ. What difference does it make if I came alone? Actually, what difference does it make if we have this conversation in private?
Victor: Well, as I said, weāre here to discuss sensitive financial matters.
Drew: Well, if you didnāt want an audience for that, whyād you bring your attack dog? Yeah, I surveil the area before I come out in the open. Itās a reflex ā you know, all that Navy SEAL training is pretty ingrained.
Victor: [ Scoffs ] All right, Johann, heās onto you. You might as well join us. There are those in town who might mistake my motives.
Drew: Oh, I donāt think any of us are mistaken.
Victor: Johann here is my insurance policy.
Johann: That card is going to allow you to access Drew Cainās old memories?
Victor: Huh. Thereās only one way to find out. Iāll have to lure Drew to some secluded location and then activate the conditioning.
Johann: Drew figured out what you were doing. You denied it once. You try that again, thereāll be no denying it.
Victor: You make an excellent point. Oh, itād be a terrible waste, but if the conditioning of Drew doesnāt work this time, heāll just have to be eliminated.
Drew: Your henchman may be here to protect you, but if this meeting goes sidewaysā¦ whoās gonna protect him?
Britt: Itās not a done deal. Monica has to petition the court, and the judge might make her wait the full seven years before declaring Jason legally dead.
Carly: I donāt understand ā Jason’s only been missing three months. Why is Monica doing this now?
Britt: Youāll have to ask her, but I think she feels Jasonās kids need closure.
Carly: And she told you?
Britt: Only because I was on Cassadine island when Jason was killed. She might need me to provide a statement for her declaration.
Carly: Will you?
Britt: Yes, of course. Whatever Monica needs.
Carly: I guess itās official, right? I have to live the rest of my life without my best friend.
Sonny: Iām soā I-I didnāt mean to yell. I-it just ā and ā
Nina: I mean, we can just talk about this another time, okay?
Sonny: Youāre not leaving, are you?
Nina: No, I am. I have to get out of here, Sonny.
Sonny: Well, Iām not gonna hurt you. Iām not ā
Nina: No ā well, how do I know that? Youāre obviously drunk.
Sonny: No. No, no, no ā
Nina: Arenāt you?! And youāre angry. So how do I know what youāre going to do?
Sonny: Because Iām not ā Iām not angry. I jā Iāve ā Iāve had ā Iāve had a couple of ā of bad days. Can you just come in? Let me ā
Nina: Listen. I donāt know w-what is going on in your life. I want to help you ā I do ā but I canāt put myself at risk.
Sonny: You know me! I would not do ā
Nina: No! I knew Mike!
Sonny: Youāre right. Mike would have never scared you like that.
Nina: I-I-I shouldnāt have said that.
Sonny: No, hey, you were being honest. You miss Mike. So do I.
Nina: You miss Mike? What ā what part?
Sonny: Mike wasnāt very complicated. Helps that he had no history. Mike didnāt have a best friend who was buriedā¦ ā¦in rubble in a tunnel. Never recovered his body, and now heās being declared legally dead.
Nina: I didnāt know.
Sonny: Mike didnāt have a wifeā¦ who left him, and a son who blames him for the breakup of his f-family. Mike didnāt have a stepfatherā¦ [ Crying softly ] ā¦Who used to get drunk. Beat his mother. Deke was an animal. I never wanted to be anything like him. And now, I can see Deke reflected in your eyes.
Jordan: Why all the questions? Were Spencer and Esme threatening her?
Portia: No! No, no, no, no. I ā you know what? I shouldnāt have brought it up. Trina, she wouldnāt even appreciate me meddling in her life, anyway, so ā
Curtis: No, itās not meddling to show concern. In fact, if youāre worried, maybe ā maybe Jordan can help.
Jordan: I can at least look into Spencer and Esme.
Portia:Ā You know what? Please donāt do that. Itās just that Trina is dealing with some, um ā some friend drama right now.
Curtis: Okay, but sheās doing okay in classes? Still enjoying her art courses?
Portia: Yes. Yes. [ Chuckles ]
Curtis: Okay.
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Jordan: Alright. Theyāve actually pushed my appointment back 30 minutes, so Iām gonna grab a bite in the cafeteria and come back later.
Curtis: Um, is this about your kidney?
Jordan: Itās routine. Everythingās fine. Portia, please reach out if you need my help.
Portia: Thank you.
Spencer: Iām not taking that book, Trina. You love Richard Molyneaux’s work.
Trina: I did. āDidā?
Spencer: What does that mean? What changed?
Trina: My perspective ā about a lot of things. Starting with the fact that I accepted the book under false pretenses. I thought we were friends.
Spencer: Arenāt we?
Trina: Friends have each otherās backs, no matter what the cost.
Spencer: I would do anything for you.
Trina: Except stop asking me to lie for you, like I did to Joss and Cam and your dad for weeks by not telling them that you were in Port Charles before you were. And you swore that you were sorry and that you would never put me in that position again ā until the other day at the cemetery, when you asked me to lie to the police commissioner for you. Which is bad on you, but worse on me, because I did it.
Spencer: But ā but it all worked out.
Trina: But what if it hadnāt? What if I had gotten caught? You committed the crime, but your family has enough money to buy you out of trouble. Uncle Victor would have been there with the fix. But my future, my dreams? Everything that I have worked so hard for, Iāve put on the line to cover for you. And all you can do is get me a book? Well, no thanks. You want to prove that you care? Leave your girlfriend.
Spencer:Ā You want me to break up with Esme? For you?
Trina: I want you to leave Esme because sheās responsible for filming Cam and Joss.
Spencer: Esme says that you are.
Trina: And you believe her?
Spencer: No. No, I don’t. You would never hurt Joss and Cam that way. You would never tape something so private and personal, much less post it.
Trina: You know deep down that she wouldā¦ and did. And yet, you still choose to be with her. And thatās not something I can respect.
Spencer: I told you, itās yours.
Trina: Fine. Bye, Spencer. Good luck with life.
Spencer: Trinaā Trina, please. Donāt walk out on me. If you do, Iāll always wonder.
Trina: Wonder what?
Britt: Accepting Jasonās death is hard.
Carly: Iām just tryingā¦ to adjust to a world without him, where I canāt turn to him, orā¦ I mean, there are so many times when I forget that heās gone, when I feel like heās still here. And then I have to remember all over again. [ Scoffs ] I feel like declaring him dead is like giving up on him. Is that right?
Britt: We have to let him go, Carly.
Carly: Really? Have you? I mean, come on ā youāre telling me that I have to move on, but youāre not.
Britt: Itās a process. [ Sighs ] I mean, we have to accept that what we shared with Jason are now just memories.
Carly: Okay, letās be honest, okay? What ā what you had with Jason was a memory before he even went to Greece.
Dante: Well? Anything?
Sam: [ Chuckles ] I will never doubt you again.
Dante: Oh, I think I, uh, should have that in writing, notarized.
Sam: Drew, if you can hear me, cough.
Drew: [ Coughs ]
Sam: Okay, now, hopefully, Victor or shows him the tarot card.
Dante: And puts us back in business.
Victor: Nothingās going sideways, Drew. Weāre just here for a friendly, informative meeting.
Drew: Oh, well, that sounds lovely. Letās get to it, then, shall we? You said you wanted to discuss Valentin’s ELQ shares? Now what?
Victor: When I called, you were adamant about not meeting with me. Yet, here you are, all eager to hear news about voting shares.
Drew: ELQ is my daughterās birthright. What concerns Scout concerns me.
Victor: Oh, Valentin is in charge of the company. Brook Lynn deceived my son in the worst way imaginable just to get hold of his shares. I wonder what other schemes the Quartermaines are hatching to get back control of ELQ.
Drew: Wā do you really think, if I knew, I would tell you? What is that? Another tarot card? What, did you go and buy a whole deck from the local fortune teller?
Victor: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no. Ah, this isnāt just any old tarot card, Drew. This is the card. The one Peter August used to control you. You are active.
Drew: Reporting for duty.
Johann: You did it, boss.
Victor: Well, so it seems. Butā¦ we have to be sure. Throw Johann over the side of the bridge.
Sonny: I never want anybody I care aboutā¦ [ Breathing deeply ] ā¦To be afraid of me. You forgive me, Nina? [ Sighs ]
Nina: Yeah, I-I can forgive you. But, Sonny, this isnāt the first time that you lashed out in anger.
Sonny: I know ā I grabbed you. And then I hurt you. I know that.
Nina: Yeah, you did. [ Sighs ]
Sonny: Just ā I have no excuses, Nina.
Nina: Wellā¦ you had to say goodbye to your friend Jason, and on top of everything thatās happening with your family, so that must be very painful.
Sonny: Itās very paiā You know what? Ever since I have come home, I have ā e-everybody that I love is just slipping through my fingers. And I ā and this is not helping.
Nina: Yeah. You know what, Sonny? Youāre right. Itās really good of you to recognize that that doesnāt help you.
Sonny: Please donāt ā donāt tell me that. I just ā Iām just ā listen, ever since I-I-Iāve been taking my bipolar medication, Iāve been able to drink in moderation.
Nina: What changed?
Sonny: Ever since Iāve come homeā¦ ā¦Iāve been drinking a lot.
Nina: What are you gonna do about it?
Britt: Whatever ā I thought youād want to know Monicaās plans.
Carly: Britt. Iām sorry. I-I had no right to say that to you. I had no right to take my anger and grief out on you. I am sorry. Itās justā¦ [ Sighs ] Iām going through a lot right now. And, um, you know, hearing about Jason didnāt help.
Britt: Iām sorry to hear about your divorce. Iām ā Iām sure things have not been easy.
Carly: No, uh, for any of us. Iā¦ Josslynās going through something really difficult, and, um, I donāt know how to help her. And it would be a time for meā¦ to turn to Jason.
Britt: Yeah, Jason always had a way of making challenges seem easy to face.
Carly: [ Voice breaking ] I canāt tell youā¦ how many times I go to call him, you know? Or, you know, a-a-a guy will come to the bar at the metro court in a black t-shirt, andā¦ [ Chuckles ] This just feels so final.
Jordan: Carly, Iām so sorry about Jason.
Carly: Thank you. Iām gonna go. Sorry.
Jordan: [ Sighs ] Hurts like hell, doesnāt it? When youāre forced to accept the person you love is never coming back?
Britt: Letās talk about happier news. I heard you got a clean bill of health?
Jordan: I did. And while I would have never chosen to go through it, my kidney scare was an important reminder ā lifeās not promised to everybody.
Britt: Donāt I know it.
Sam: Victor just ordered Drew to kill Johann.
Johann: Boss, donāt! No!
Dante: You gotta tell Drew to abort.
Sam: What do you mean? And blow his cover? No, weāve gotta see how this plays out.
Dante: We ā we donāt have time, Sam.
Sam: We have to give him time. Heās gonna be able to sell this.
Dante: Look, Iām a cop. I canāt let this get out of hand, even if it is bringing down Victor Cassadine.
Sam: Itās not gonna come to that. Come on, weā weāre not gonna have another shot at this. I trust Drew. You have to trust me on this.
[ Both grunting ]
Johann: Boss! Help me!
Portia: So now Esme is blaming Trina for filming Cameron and Josslyn and putting it on the internet.
Curtis: Thatās insane ā Trina would never do that.
Portia: Well, of course she wouldn’t. She doesnāt have a malicious bone in her body.
Curtis: No, she ā she ā sheās kind. Sheās generous. Sheās just like her mother, which means sheās strong. And she can stand up to Esme.
Portia: I know, but I canāt help wanting to protect her. I want to put the smackdown on Esme. Thatās exactly what I want to do. [ Sighs ] But I suppose thatās a bad idea. [ Sighs ]
Curtis: Sadly, yes. [ Sighs ]
Portia: [ Chuckles ]
Curtis: [ Chuckles ]
Portia: Oh, there was, um, some good news that I wanted to share with you. I told Trina about our plans to buy the beach house. And she seemed really excited about it.
Curtis: āSeemedā?
Portia: I told you ā sheās distracted. This whole friendsā drama thing ā itās ā itās taking its toll on her.
Curtis: And you?
Portia: Me? I-Iām fine.
Curtis: What was done to Cameron and Josslyn was inexcusable. And Esme blaming Trina ā itās despicable. But I know you, and I know thereās something on your mind. What is it?
Portia: Trinaās inexplicable attachment to this Cassadine kid.
Spencer: Iāll always wonderā¦ ā¦what you thought of the book.
Trina: It was inspiring, but I also felt let down.
Spencer: Why?
Trina: Richard Molyneaux was one of the reasons I got into modernism. Even though Joss thinks his art is just a bunch of squiggles, which is what most people see.
Spencer: But you saw beyond that. You saw behind the squiggles. That is your talent, Trina ā to understand true art. T
Trina: The book allowed me to see pieces I had never seen before, and it was amazing. I felt closer to the artist.
Spencer:Ā But?
Trina: But the book also provided professional criticism ā really insightful stuff that exposed the artistās limitations.
Spencer: You once told me thatā¦ frailty is what makes us human. Isnāt there beauty in someoneās imperfections?
Trina: There can be ā only if someone recognizes those imperfectionsā¦ and chooses to live up to their potential.
Spencer: What if a person wants to do better and just needs more time? It must seem so simple from the outside. All someone needs to do in order to live a better life is to make different choices ā better choices. But if it were really that easy, wouldnāt the whole world be full of happy, fulfilled people?
[ Line rings ]
Woman: You have reached the PCPD anonymous tip line. All calls are confidential and will not be traced. Speak clearly after the tone.
[ Beeps ]
Esme: Um, Iām calling to report a case of revenge porn. I know who uploaded the sex video of Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber.
Sonny: Clearly, I canāt drink like I used to. I guess it just acts differently now with the medication.
Nina: You know, Sonny, does the reason really matter? The ā it seems to me like the important thing is that you cannot drink to ā to prop yourself up or to dull your pain.
Sonny: Yeah, my stepdadā¦ he used to justā¦ escape to the bottom of a whiskey bottle, and thenā¦ ā¦that wasnāt enough.
Nina: Youāre not your stepdad.
Sonny: Like you said, I canāt, yā you know, keep using liquorā¦ ā¦as an excuse. Here, you ā you can drink it. Just drink a little bit. Do you want it?
Nina: No. No, thank you, Sonny. [ Sighs lightly ] But is it ā is it gonna be enough later? I mean, itās not like Michael and Willowās rejection is gonna be the last piece of bad news that you ever get.
Sonny: I canāt keep using booze as a crutch. I canāt do it anymore. And I promise you, I won’tā¦ I will never hurt you again.
Nina: I want to believe you, but thatās easier said than done. Can you dump the contents of this decanter in the sink?
Sonny: Thereās a first time for everything.
Portia: Trina was in here, twisting herself in knots, defending Spencer.
Curtis: Trinaās loyal to her friends.
Portia: Yeah, but, see, thatās the problem. Ever since Trina befriended Spencer, sheās had to deal with all of his lies. His vendetta against Ava, who just happens to be Trinaās mentor. Plus, Trinaās own conflict ā exposing him as the stalker. I-I-I ā no. Spencer doesnāt deserve Trinaās loyalty ā thatās it.
Curtis: And Iām sure having Esme in his lifeā¦ uh, you know, makes Trinaās friendship with Spencer even more fraught.
Portia: Before Spencer and Esme came into Trinaās life, she was never self-conscious. She never second-guessed her choices. I just wish that she would leave him alone and just move on.
Curtis: But isnāt that Trinaās decision?
Trina: All the time in the world wonāt help someone unwilling to grow. The book points out that Richard Molyneaux’s work stops evolving the last two decades of his career.
Spencer: Maybe something happened to him. Something beyond his control.
Trina: And sometimes, people are who they are, and they canāt change.
Spencer: So thatās it, then? Youāre dropping your favorite artist and me? You donāt care about our friendship?
Trina: Oh, donāt give me those puppy dog eyes, Spencer! I lied for you. I forgave you. I covered for you. I made stupid decisions for you. And you canāt even stand up for me against Esmeās ridiculous accusations.
Spencer: Youāre right. I donāt deserve your friendship, but I need it. I need you to not give up on me.
Trina: Itās not too late to end things with Esme and send her back to France ā or wherever sheās really from.
Spencer: I canāt do that. Iām all she has.
Trina: Then if you keep defending Esme, sheāll be all you have.
[ Grunting ]
Johann: Boss! Come on, please! Stop!
Drew: [ Shouts ]
Johann: Call him off!
Victor: All right, Drew, stop. Youāve proved yourself.
Johann: [ Groaning ]
Victor: Let him go.
[ Both grunt ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Victor: I need informationā¦ from your Navy SEAL days. I need to know about operation Demeter.
Carly: Shut this down right now!
Dante: What the hell is she doing there?
Carly: Drew wonāt be telling you a damn thing.
Carly: Let Drew go, or this streams live online.
Victor: Johann, take Carlyās phone.
Drew: Yeah, I donāt think so.
Victor: You were never activated.
Drew: Surprise.
Victor: Until next time, Mr. Cain. Come on, Johann.
Drew: What the hell are you doing here?
Carly: Uh, youāre welcome.
Drew: You have no idea what youāve done.
Carly: Uh, besides save you? What are you talking about?
Drew: Oh!
Dante: Is Victor gone? Where is he?
Drew: Heās gone!
Dante: -Great.
Drew: -Yeah.
Sam: Oh, great. Perfect timing, Carly.
Carly: Oh ā
Drew: In fairness, she had no idea.
Dante: Okay.
Carly: Well, can someone please tell me what Iām missing here?
Drew: Our best chance to find out what Victor Cassadine is really up to.
Nina: What you did, Sonny, was not easy.
Sonny: Iām not an alcoholic, Nina. And I donāt ā I don’tā¦ intend to become one. I just ā you know, Iām gonna keep drinking every so oftenā¦ socially. Butā¦ well, I just donāt want liquor in my house.
Nina: You can fill the decanters up with candy. Donna, Avery, andā¦ ā¦Wileyā¦ will love it.
Sonny: Thatās a good idea.
Nina: I should go.
Sonny: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You donāt have to go. I canāt let you goā¦ ā¦until I say this.
[ Telephone ringing in distance ]
Smoltz: Aha! There you are. Commissioner Ashford, any comment on the developing revenge-porn story out of PCU?
Spencer: I, uh, may not have your eye for art, butā¦ ā¦when I chose this book, I was struck by how rich the color palette was. Fun, exciting, fresh ā like you. If you walk out on me, mā my world will turn gray.
Trina: I donāt have a choice. Not if you refuse to see Esme for who she really is. Youāre afraid of the truth. Just like Richard Molyneaux was afraid to grow and expand on his style.
Esme: Are you for real, Trina? How can you show your face here after what you did to your supposed friends?
Carly: I am so sorry. Had I known I was stepping into an undercover operation, I would have never interfered, you guys.
Drew: Honestly, forget it. Honestly, I gave you enough informationā¦ [ Sighs ] ā¦For you to get worried, but not enough information for you to know that we had it under control ā literally and figuratively. But itās not all bad news, because we got a hint of what Victorās up to.
Sam: Operation Demeter.
Dante: Yeah, I guess itās, um, something to go on.
Sam: And hopefully helps us stop Victor.
Carly: Before he realizes what hit him.
Spencer: Esme, don’t.
Esme: Donāt what? Call Trina out? Trina, next time you have a fight with a friend, tell them to their face. Donāt tape them having sex and upload it.
Trina: Iām not gonna stand here and listen to this.
Esme: [ Scoffs ]
Trina: [ Sighs ] I hope you live up to your potential.
Esme: Can you believe her? She just ignored me and walked out!
Spencer: What was she supposed to say?
Esme: How about āIām sorry,ā or āI was wrongā? Not that she would ā she was way too focused on you. Is that the gift you gave her?
Spencer:Ā It was. Apparently, Trina doesnāt want anything from me.
Esme: Not even friendship? Does that meanā¦ Trina is out of your life?
Portia: Spencer and Esme are trouble. Thatās it, plain and simple.
Curtis: Oh, Iām sure they are. Um, and Iām sure youāre right ā just like my Aunt Stella was right about some of the knuckleheads that she tried to warn me off when I was about Trinaās age.
Portia: Yeah, but I bet aunt stella wasnāt shy about letting you know what her opinion was, right?
Curtis: But I didnāt listen. No, I stayed close to those same knuckleheads, and I didnāt care how much it dragged me down.
Portia: Because you didnāt want to admit that Stella might know better than you.
Curtis: And after some ā after many hard knocksā¦ I learned that Aunt Stella was right. And I changed my class of friends.
Portia: Message received, Curtis. Thank you, umā¦ okay, okay, okay. So, Iām going to ā Iām gonna keep my opinions to myself, and I am going to allow Trina to make her own decisions.
Curtis: Sounds good. But why do you look so worried?
Portia: Call it motherās intuition. I-I-I donāt know, I just ā Iām afraid that Trinaās in some trouble. And I just hope I can protect her before itās too late.
Jordan: The PCPD is busy with several inquiries.
Smoltz: Is it true high-profile individuals urged the department to take over the investigation from university officials?
Jordon: Contact the PCPD media liaison.
Smoltz: Can you confirm Sonny Corinthosā stepdaughter was the victim of revenge porn? [ Elevator bell dings ] Commissioner. Commissioner, uh, forgive me. Sorry, please.
Britt: Hi. I received a Society Setups subscription as a gift. My nameās Britt Westbourne. No, no, actually, um, Iām afraid I deleted the questionnaire. I never filled it out. Oh, no, thank you. I donāt need a refund. Uh, actually, I was hoping you could resend the questionnaire? Iām ready to move forward.
Sonny: The whole Wiley situation ā
Nina: Oh, we can revisit that conversation another day.
Sonny: The ā the point is, you canāt give up, Nina. Our grandson is lucky to have you in his corner.
