THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Are you ready to start a family? I was gonna ask you the same thing. I want a child of our own. I was just waiting on you. I mean, if we want to have a baby, there are things we can do to make it happen. Oh, you mean something like this? ♪♪ According to these results… you can’t father a child. I’m so sorry. I can’t get you pregnant. ♪♪ I was terrified this whole time that the problem was me. And now I almost wish it was. Oh, you don’t mean that. His face, Ma… Yeah. When Chase told me he couldn’t have kids, he was devastated. Feeling like he was letting me down. I know it’s awful. The whole thing is awful, Ma. Chase will never get to hold his own baby. He’ll never get to raise his own child. I know there are a lot of different ways to have a family, But you were banking on the conventional one. I get it. Chase is mourning the life he imagined for us. I hate this for Chase. I know how much he was looking forward to becoming a father. I know it’s not exactly the same, but I know what he’s feeling. That pain and — and anguish. I felt both those things when I gave my baby up. You were grieving, too. I want him to know that… so that Chase doesn’t feel so alone. Oh, good. You’re here. We need to go over this Michael Corinthos custody case and strategize some next steps. What happened? Are you alright? No, I’m not alright. Talk to me. Sam was murdered. What? Somebody killed my daughter. Oh, honey. Oh. This cannot be true. I know. I was the same way when I heard. Sam was murdered? Both the PCPD and the hospital are investigating. Oh, my God. I’m so sorry, Maxie. It was already so heartbreaking when we found out Sam was dead. But to know she was murdered, that it wasn’t some tragic mistake — what about her kids? It’s terrible. Spinelli’s going to be devastated by this. Why would someone want Sam dead? I don’t know. I just pray they find whoever is responsible. So do I. But finding who did this won’t bring her back. It won’t fill the gaping hole she left. How are you doing with all of this? You mean the fact that my ex-husband’s fiancée died saving my life? I just felt the baby move for the first time Here. Feel. I can’t believe you’re here for this. Me, either. It’s hard to describe how excited I am about this baby. I’m here for you. Anything you need. I get that you mean well, but it feels like you’re not hearing me. Michael has agreed to let me raise this baby. My life, my child, my decisions. And I have decided that I don’t need any help. Not from you. Not from anyone. ♪♪ [ Sighs ] [ Knock on door ] ♪♪ ♪♪ Okay, hold on. Hold on. Um, I… I just need a minute. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Um, my apologies if I read our situation incorrectly. You didn’t. I’m just glad you’re okay. Thanks to you. It’s just, um… Everyone’s warnings ringing loudly in your ears? How do you do that? Know exactly what you’re thinking? And again. It’s a gift. ♪♪ I just — I just don’t want to get caught up in the adrenaline and then, you know, do something I’ll regret. Would it help if you knew that I didn’t come here to sleep with you? You didn’t? I have something much different in mind. ♪♪ There you are. God. Hello to you, too. How’d you get in here? I drove up to the gate, pressed the buzzer, and Yuri let me in. What do you want? Goodness. Are you this hospitable to all your houseguests, or am I just the lucky winner? Okay, you left the station without your copy of your paperwork. I thought I would do you the favor of bringing it to you on the off chance you wouldn’t be a colossal jerk like you were at the jail. I guess you were mistaken. Guess so. Here. What is your problem, Cody? I’m trying to be nice. My problem? My problem?! My problem is that my feet are continuously held to the fire over every– everything I do. Meanwhile, there are literal career criminals in this town who answer to exactly no one. Who are you talking about? The hypocrisy is mind-blowing! Michael said your name when he woke up for a reason. I just need to get his side of the story. Are you calling me a liar? I’m not — I’m not calling you anything. Because, yes, I’ve been known to stretch the truth in the past. And in some cases, I’ve straight up lied. I won’t deny it, but there were important reasons why I did that. More important than a child? What are you accusing me of? Nothing. Just pointing out, by your own admission, you said you’d lie when you need to. Maybe you’re lying right now because Michael can’t be reached to contradict you. I don’t owe you anything, Jason. I know you don’t, but you do owe Michael. Sam’s death is not your fault. You say that. And technically, I know that you’re right. But someone took advantage of Sam being in that hospital room, and she was in that hospital room because of me. I owe Sam everything. Even before the surgery, she was there for Rocco when I couldn’t. She loved my son like her own. Yeah, she did. And Rocco loved her, too. I can see how much he misses her. Sam has done so much for my family, and I hate the fact that I can’t thank her, or at the very least, repay her. Lulu, feeling guilty over something you have no control over is going to get you nowhere. What about something I do have control over? I love the man Sam was going to marry. I’m in love with Dante. I never stopped. I absolutely was not ready to be a mom when I gave my baby up for adoption. But it was always part of my “one day” plan. You know, when the time was right. Well, you did love playing family when you were a little girl. I loved bossing dolls, you mean. Yeah. That, too. I want children. I always have. Now, I may never get the chance. Look, you said that, um, Chase was the one who brought up IVF. You know, it’s an idea that takes some getting used to, but, you know, you could still have such a beautiful family. I think I need to tell him. About the baby you gave up? Chase is always so open and honest with me. It just… it feels wrong not to be the same with him. But if I tell him the truth, I have to tell him the whole truth, right? Not just that I have a child out there. But that Dante is the father. Hey, partner. Hi. Did you hear from Anna? No, I haven’t talked to her. What’s up? A string of murders at G.H. Murders? What do we know? Not much. Just that Sam was one of the victims. What do you need? I want my daughter back. Oh, honey, do you have any idea how much I wish I could give her to you? You know how hard I’ve been trying to get through every day, right? Mm-hmm. This grief that I feel is all-consuming. And that’s when I believed it was an accident. Now that I know someone deliberately took her life, that she was in there sacrificing hers to save someone else, and someone walked into her room and took her life on purpose… I’m gutted. And I don’t know what to do with these feelings that I have. I just…I-I don’t. She didn’t lose her life. Someone took it, and I’m so mad. I am just so mad I don’t — I don’t know what to do. ♪♪ This is beautiful, Jack. I was hoping you’d like it. Are you sure it’s the best idea, considering what almost happened earlier? Oh, the assassination attempt? Yeah, that. We are safe. Valentin caught me off guard, but the WSB has the hotel secure now. Okay, well, in that case [Chuckles] I’m gonna make myself comfortable. Uh…allow me. Thank you. You’re most welcome. Wow. Ah! I can’t believe you did all this. Ah, well, to be fair, I didn’t really do the heavy lifting. Still, it’s so cozy and beautiful and private. [ Laughs ] Now, there’s something that’s been nagging me since our little adventure. Oh, my gosh. Only you would classify that as an adventure. I thought you said you weren’t coming to the spa. I changed my mind. Well, there’s a reason to toast if ever I heard one. To changing your mind. I’m not trying to offend you. Try harder. I just find it very hard to believe that Michael would agree to walk away from his child. I don’t know how I’m supposed to convince you. If he did agree, maybe he asked to see you because he changed his mind. I’m just trying to help, Sasha. Again, I don’t need your help. I will back off the second Michael tells me. I just need to talk to him. Then go talk to him. You and I are done here. ♪♪ Jason. If you do talk to Michael, will you please let him know I’m thinking of him and I’m praying for his recovery? I will. ♪♪ Just forget I said anything. Okay? Gladly. You know, for the record, I don’t want to be here, either. I’m just trying to do the decent thing. [ Chuckles ] Please. This is a scare tactic. What? Clearly, you’ve got some agenda where I’m concerned. Otherwise, why would you bother tracking me down at my home to drop off some stupid papers? [ Scoffs ] You are so off base. Am I? What do you think? ADAs typically make house calls? I don’t know. I’m here as a favor to Mac. He’s a good friend of my mom’s and somebody I’ve always had a lot of respect for. Oh. Oh. Okay. If that’s true, then — You’re impossible. …thank you. I appreciate it. Was that so hard? ♪♪ You pick up one thing, I’ll have you disbarred. Been there, done that. Look at me. Your world was shattered by Sam’s death, and this news has just intensified it. I want to be the perfect friend and say that right thing, and I don’t know what it is. There is no right thing, and nothing is ever going to make this better. I’m there for you. I know that sounds trite, but it’s true. So, if you want to talk or cry or…throw axes or scream and yell, I’m all in. Or if you want to do nothing, that’s fine. Whatever you need, whenever you need it. Okay? Okay. Let’s get out of here. I mean, you’ll spend the night at my place. We’ll order in some Chinese food. We’ll watch reality television. Molly and Kristina are on their way over here. And they don’t know about Sam? No, I have to tell them. Talk about not having the words. You’ll find the words. You’ll find them. Alexis, your — your strength throughout this whole thing has been inspiring because that’s who you are. You’ll guide your family through this, and I will be right behind you. [ Cellphone rings ] Oh, it’s Jason. He wants to discuss a business matter. I will have him meet me somewhere else. Alright, listen, if he doesn’t know about Sam, please don’t say anything. I won’t tell him a thing. Kristina: Won’t tell who what? Whoa. What happened here? We’ll talk later. ♪♪ Mom, are you okay? Why don’t we just wait till your sister gets here? Because what I have to say, I only want to say it once. Telling Chase that I had a baby in high school is one thing. But telling him that Dante is the father… That’s a — that’s a whole other ball game. I mean, then what? Dante doesn’t even know I was ever pregnant, let alone delivered his child. And then, what, do I ask Chase not to tell his best friend the truth? That doesn’t seem so fair. So, if I tell Chase, then I have to tell Dante, too. How do you feel about that? Oh, like I’m gonna be sick. Dante is such a good father to Rocco and Scout and Danny. It would kill him to know that he was robbed of watching another kid grow up. It would be hard for Dante. Yeah, but, honey, he’s a reasonable man. He knows the two of you were — you were kids back then. Neither one of you were ready to be a parent. Ma, it’s been years. Decades. How am I going to tell Dante that I’ve been keeping this secret from him all this time? Who would ever want to hurt Sam? And how did they know that… Sam was one of three patients who overdosed on a drug that should never have been given. What drug? It’s called digitalis. It’s used to treat congestive heart failure. But if you take too much of it, it can cause a heart attack. Dex Heller died of a heart attack. Was he one of the victims, too? Yeah. So, did whoever stabbed Dex come to the hospital to finish the job? Or was he stabbed by one perp and murdered by another? I don’t know. But whoever gave Dex the digitalis, they did the same thing to Michael. But Michael survived. Right, because his doctor knew about these other cases. So, he took a chance and gave Michael the antidote. And it worked. Yeah, it’s just Dex and Sam weren’t that lucky. For the record, I’m not surprised you still love Dante. I’m just surprised you admitted it. Really? Yeah. I mean, the night of the explosion, you told me you were planning on telling him you still loved him. Yeah, well, you know what they say about plans. Look, you never got the chance. Four years went by for the rest of us. People moved on. But for you, that night was like yesterday. Of course, you still love Dante. It’d be weird if you didn’t. Thanks for saying that. The guilt, it’s been eating me alive. Have you talked to him? ♪♪ There’s Jason. Do you think I should tell him about Sam? No. No, I don’t think you should do that. Maybe he already knows. He looks serious. No, he always looks like that. So, what I have to tell you… …needs attorney-client privilege. Always. What’s going on? Sasha Corbin is pregnant. Michael is the father. Well, of all the scenarios I could have imagined, that wasn’t one of them. ♪♪ Mom, this is torture. Can you just tell me? Molly’s car is here, so she should be on her way up. Sorry I’m late. I was dealing with the most frustrating, pigheaded person on the planet. Molly, chill. Mom has something to tell us. What’s going on? Are you alright? Have a seat. Right here. ♪♪ I spoke with Portia Robinson at the hospital, and she gave me an update on your sister. What kind of update? Do they know what caused her heart attack? She was given a lethal dose of digitalis, and that was a drug that was not prescribed to her. So, criminal negligence. It wasn’t an accident. Wait, so are you telling us that Sam was murdered? Yes. Oh, my God. I need to ask you a favor. Well, I think I made it clear that I’ll do anything in my power to help you. You have. But what else could you possibly want on such a beautiful night in Germany? I want to know about Valentin. Lulu’s my cousin. Yeah, I’m aware of that. And she’s a woman who would crawl on broken glass to find her daughter. Mm-hmm. And I know what that’s like. It’s awful. So, I’d like to know what’s going on between you and Valentin. Why would you want to talk about the man who tried to kill me tonight? Because he tried to kill you tonight. And that doesn’t make sense to me. I heard you call Valentin and warn him that we were looking for him. You do him a favor, and he tries to take you out? Why? Okay, the truth is, Val was a friend. He was a good one, at that. But after tonight’s events, I refuse to protect them any longer. I can’t believe this. Someone killed Sam? Yes. Why? They don’t know. Well, what do we know? Did Portia give you any details? Are the police looped in? I can get our best ADA on this. Molly, stop. This is our sister we’re talking about, okay? You’re talking about her like she’s one of your cases. You’re right. I’m sorry. I just feel helpless. I don’t know what else to do. She’s just trying to make sense of something that is senseless. It’s okay, I get it. This is so wrong. Who would want Sam dead? Honestly, I thought losing Sam was the lowest of lows. This is it. This is it. ♪♪ [ Cellphone chimes ] ♪♪ [ Cellphone chimes ] ♪♪ Cody just texted me. He’s going to join us, if that’s okay. Yeah, of course. Oh, we should probably switch topics because he’s way too close with Dante. I can’t have this getting back to him. Okay, well, that answers my question of whether or not you’ve talked to Dante. And say what? I’m still in love with him while he’s still mourning his deceased fiancée, who died saving my life? I wouldn’t use those exact words, but… Maxie, I can’t. So, Michael has an affair with Sasha Corbin, and now she’s pregnant? It wasn’t an affair. Michael found out that Drew and Willow were involved. Involved? Call that what it is, please. They’re having sex on the nursery floor. No, this was before. Michael heard that Drew and Willow kissed, whatever. He took off to go have a drink or two. And then he ran into Sasha, who was also in a bad place. So, it’s not enough that Michael — his custody case is already complicated. Now he’s an adulterer, too. And you know this for a fact? Now I do. What does that mean? Well, at first, I just suspected — That Michael was the father? Yes, but Sasha confirmed it. And according to her, they have an agreement that Michael is going to keep his distance and she can raise his child on her own. But you don’t believe her. I want to hear it from Michael. Yeah, that would be best. Because as much as it would benefit Michael’s custody case if she took this child and relocated across the country or on the other side of the world, we can’t take her at her word. Exactly. And if it’s not what Michael wants, we need to protect him. And, of course, Sasha has a tenuous grasp on the truth, which she comes by honestly, because after all, she is Holly Sutton’s daughter. Oh. Oh. What? I just realized this child… Robert’s going to have another grandchild. I’m sure Val assumes that the shot fired at him in Prague… was on my orders. It was not. Well, if you’re friends, why would he assume that? I mean, in my experience, friends don’t try and take each other out. Ah, well, Val knows me well enough to understand that I would totally do that if pushed. Have him shot and killed? Mm-hmm. That is crazy. Well, stick with me here. Val thought that we had come to the point where I had made that call. I had not. But you’re at that point now? She’s catching on. Barely. Why would you protect Valentin all these years? It’s a winding, complicated story. Then you should order another bottle of champagne. Okay. Sam did nothing but good in this world and for me and our kids. Lulu’s alive because of her sacrifice, and she just — she did not deserve this. None of you deserve this. How’s Rocco holding up? He doesn’t know. Anna just told me and Lulu at the hospital. The hospital? Is everything okay with Lulu? Yeah. She’s fine. I just — I ran into her there, and I told her she’s got to stop messing around and throwing away the second chance she’s been given. Lulu’s been taking a lot of risks. Yeah, I think so. And I think she’s got to be careful, for her sake and for Rocco. This has got to be really hard on you, Dante. You know, I’m happy that Rocco’s mother is here. I truly am. It’s a gift. But Sam gave her that gift, and now she’s gone because of it. Sam’s gone because someone took her life. Yeah, I know. But you know what I mean. Yeah, I do. I just feel like every time I look at Lulu, I’m going to think of Sam and what she and all of us have lost. ♪♪ Perfect. Oh, Cody’s here. Hey, thanks for agreeing to talk to me. Oh, I haven’t agreed to anything. Have you talked to Spinelli since you were such a meanie the other night? I — I think I will give you two a minute. Sounds like important family stuff. No, no, no. You stay. This is obviously a bad time. I’ll go. Neither of you are going anywhere. Both of you can sit. Okay, look, I’m sorry about the other night. I will talk to Spinelli, but right now, I’m kind of freaking out. Why? Sasha’s pregnant. You knew. Well, I’m open to suggestions on how you want to handle this. You know, Carly’s already in Germany. Maybe she could talk to Michael. No, no, no. If Sasha’s telling the truth and Michael did agree to stay out of his baby’s life, Carly cannot know anything about this. Of course. I’m sorry. I don’t — I don’t know what I was thinking. Okay, I’m going to the clinic, and I’m going to talk to Michael. Okay. So, can you do me a favor? Just keep an eye on Sasha, and if she needs anything, just get it discreetly. Well, that shouldn’t be too difficult. Anna Devane hasn’t changed. Still of singular focus. Her eyes on the prize, always. Okay. What about you? What were you like? I was realistic. I wanted to rise in the ranks of the WSB, but I knew I couldn’t do it alone. That’s where Valentin came in. He was ambitious, wickedly brilliant. An alliance with him was a smart move. So, I sought out his friendship. Smart move, as in, you had what he lacked, and vice versa? Yeah, while Val was highly strategic, he was rough around the edges. He was a loner with certain, well, physical limitations. And I, on the other hand, have been told that I possess a certain charm. Wouldn’t you agree? I would. And so I thought we’d be highly effective together. Val was the iron fist, I was the velvet glove, so to speak. You knew with Valentin by your side, you’d look that much more capable. You know what’s funny? I was far less ruthless back then than I am now. I don’t think I ever really saw him that way. How did you see him? As an outsider who needed me as much as I needed him. We became true friends in a world where they were hard to come by. That’s sweet. In a strange, twisted way. Yeah. It was. Till that friend tried to kill me. I will keep an eye on Sasha while you’re gone. Thank you. But I will not push assistance on a very capable mother. Okay, good. I’m not asking you to. Let me know when you get clarity from Michael, please. God help him. He’s already embroiled in one custody battle. He needs another like he needs a hole in the head. What if he does want to be a part of the child’s life? Then I will fight for his right to do so. But I got to tell you something, Jason. Michael has had ample opportunity to tell me that Sasha was pregnant and how he wanted to proceed. The fact that he didn’t speaks to her credibility. Maybe. Just — It just doesn’t sound like Michael to walk away from his kid. Well, maybe your affinity is such that it’s skewing your view of things. If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly admit it. That I want a ringside seat for. Yes, I did know about Sasha’s pregnancy, but it’s not my place to tell anyone, especially you. Why especially me? Given your history with her? It’s kind of a delicate situation. I thought that news should come from Sasha. Fair enough. How did you find out? Did she tell you? No. Not exactly. Then how exactly? It — It doesn’t matter. I’m just — I’m worried about the deadbeat dad. I mean, a father should step up and help, right? No. Sasha was very clear. She had no plans to tell the father. Yeah. All to protect this guy. What guy? Jason Morgan. He’s the father of Sasha’s baby. I’m sorry. What? Jason is wrong. We can do this on our own, even if we’re the only ones who believe it. And I promise you that I will always be here for you, little one. Always. ♪♪ Why aren’t you saying anything? It’s very unlike you, and it’s freaking me out. Well, if this was a run-of-the-mill problem, I would have opinions on my opinions. It’s not run of the mill. No, it’s not. It’s big. It’s like life-altering big. But no pressure. Baby, um… I… I don’t want to influence your decision in any way, but I am here for you, whatever you need. What I need is your advice, same like I did back then. No, you are not the same person you were back then. You have become a strong, accomplished woman. You’ve created this incredible life for yourself and — and found an amazing man to share that life with. I’m not saying that this choice is going to be easy. But it is your choice to make. And only yours. If Chase and I are going to make it in this life together — and I really, really want us to — then we need to be open and honest with each other. I need to tell him. Hey, man, I just wanted to say thanks for being a good sounding board these last few months. Helped me get through them. Of course. Anything you need, you know that. You alright? Everything good? What do you mean? When I got here, it looked like something was going on. And it wasn’t about Sam. It’s not nearly as important as what you’re dealing with. I mean, I can usually be a pretty good sounding board, too. Usually. I know. And I promise to talk about it when I’m ready. Alright. No pressure. Just want to repay the debt. Alight. We’re going to find out who did this to your sister. Alright? Believe that. This is so awful. It’s like reliving Sam’s death all over again, but through this darker, more sinister lens. Life was already dark enough. What are we going to do about Scout and Danny? How are we going to tell — What are we going to tell them? We’re going to shield the truth from Scout because she’s too young and she can’t wrap her mind around this. Okay. I agree. And Danny, I think we just wait till we get more information before we tell him. What if he reads something online or someone says something at school? I’m going to talk to Anna and see if she can keep this out of the press and away from the public for as long as possible. We have a lot of work to do, and we’re going to have to stay strong and present a united front… for the kids. It’s what Sam would have wanted. And we won’t let her down. Davis women unite? Always. There’s more to you than meets the eye, Jack Brennan. By all means, please elaborate. Well, I mean, it was a mutually beneficial relationship for both of you. But you protected Valentin all these years. I admire that kind of loyalty. I’d like to like to think that I’m loyal too. Hmm, mm. Like when you went behind my back and bugged my office. Okay, that was to prove Anna and Jason wrong. Oh. And we weren’t really friends then. Oh, not like we are now. Yeah, exactly. There’s a big difference between us, you know. Yeah, I’m not a spy. You’re a good person. Yeah, I could line up a boatload of people right here that would disagree with that statement. They’re just wrong. You think you know me so well, huh? I’m very perceptive. Yeah. I’m perceptive too. Yeah. And you’re not the bad guy you want everyone to think you are. Man of mystery. Ruthless. Unreadable. I’m not those things? Sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, but to me, you’re the guy who has done some really awesome things for me time and time again when you expected nothing in return. Well, that’s not true. I mean, there is something in it for me. I fought it for a while. And now? I’m all out of fight. Wow. That’s funny. So am I.
