THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Come on, Detective, I don’t want to be late. Are you sure I can’t convince you to run a little later? There’s room for two in here. I didn’t know we were having live music tonight. Who’s that? A very, very special surprise performer. Does your wife maybe get a hint? Just a hint? Oh, honey. I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to find out when the rest of the club does. Oh, so much for having an in around here. Well, can I just tell you this? You look absolutely incredible tonight. Oh, honey, I’ll take that. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Who’s more beautiful than you? Oh. She just walked in. ♪♪ [ Cellphone rings ] Hi, Maxie. Yes, yes. I’m here. I’m so sorry you’re under the weather. But have no fear. I can do this. I will be the best possible cupid for your cousin Lucas. Oh, here he is. Hey! Lucas: Spinelli. Gracious greetings. Um, I know I’m not quite what you expected. I’m pinch hitting for Maxie tonight, but we — she has found you the perfect guy. Please tell me that Brad is not my date. What? Oh, God, no. Um, this is your date. Avery, Donna, you’re supposed to help me clean up. All right, Carly. Well, it’s the memories, not the mess. Right? Memories, not the mess. [ Knock on door ] ♪♪ Jack Brennan. What are you doing here? Happy Valentine’s Day. ♪♪ ♪♪ Hey. What are you doing here? Only took an hour in line at Eckert’s, but I got them. Feast your eyes on the last dozen of their famous Valentine’s Day cupcakes. Rocco’s favorite. Or they used to be. Hopefully they still are. Yeah. He loves anything from Eckert’s. Phew. Yeah, he’ll be pumped to dive into those in the morning. Morning? Where is he? The role of Lucky Spencer is temporarily being played by Guy Wilson. Hi. Thanks for meeting me. Your timing is perfect. I headed over as soon as I heard from you. You, uh, sounded excited. Sounded? I sent you a text. I think maybe it was the 10 exclamation points. Oh, okay. So tell me, how did it go with Anna? It went great. She listened to everything I had to say. She took the evidence we dug out of Cyrus’s trash. And she’s going to run with it? She’s going to arrest him. Finally, we’re going to get justice for those patients he killed. So what do you think? Should we celebrate? Seems like somebody’s already ahead of us. Oh, wow. Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom. And Dad. ♪♪ Maybe we should go to the hospital. No hospital. But if your migraine is really that bad — I’ll live. Mac, you haven’t had a migraine this bad in a while. Not since Robin was dating Jason. [ Groans ] ♪♪ So legally, I have to release you now. Soon. But in the time I have left, I’m going to do everything in my power to convince you not to kill Cyrus the minute you walk out those doors. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ You know what? I’m gonna go say hi. Oh, babe, babe, babe. They are on a date. So what? So, what’s the last thing you wanted when you were on a date when you were Trina’s age? Well, for my parents to crash it. That part. Okay. I’m just so happy for her. This is the first time she’s seeing anybody since Spencer. It’s a big deal. Yeah, it’s a very big deal, babe. But it’s one that we’re going to have to watch from afar. Right. So, what do you think? Of the club? I mean, it’s a cool vibe. I love it. Right? No, a few of my teammates recommended it. They said it’s the hottest club in town. Oh. So did you, like, have to pull some strings to get in? Well, maybe a couple. Must be good to know people. Yeah, it can come in handy if you know the right people. Yeah. Uh, Gunther, um, Erikson. Yes? Right. Okay. Uh, this is Lucas Jones. He is a trauma surgeon. Wow. Very impressive. Oh, yeah. Well, it’s just a job. Stop, Lucas, you saved lives. He saves lives. And, um, Maxie told me that — that you are — Well, you’re a model. Print, mainly. Uh, some runway. I’m actually walking in Milan Fashion Week later this month. Did you hear that? Milan. Amazing. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. Um, wait, why don’t you, uh, grab a table and I will fetch you some drinks? Oh, okay. I think that’s our cue. All right. I’m actually pretty good at this. Is this a bad time? No, no. Oh, come in, come in. I wasn’t expecting anyone, clearly. Well, it smells fantastic in here. Yeah, yeah. Donna, Avery, and I were baking cookies. They’re hiding upstairs because they don’t want to help me clean up. Oh. Smart girls. Uh, these are for you, incidentally. They’re beautiful. Thank you. You’re welcome. I’m gonna put them in water. ♪♪ ♪♪ Oh! [ Laughs ] Rocco’s at the Valentine’s Day skate with the school. They rent an ice rink. It’s pretty good. I — I didn’t know. And he won’t — he won’t be home later tonight? No, he’s gonna crash at a buddy’s place, but he’ll get them in the morning. You know, never mind. This — This was dumb. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. He probably doesn’t even like cupcakes anymore. He was he was just a kid when these were his favorite. Lulu, slow down. “A,” he loves cupcakes. He eats five at a time. It’s kind of disturbing. But to be completely honest with you… Is this the “B”? I got him these Valentine cupcakes from Eckert’s a few years ago, and he barely touched them. See? It’s the pink frosting, right? Or it’s the sprinkles. You know, I knew it. He’s probably outgrown this kind of thing. No, he didn’t want the cupcakes because, uh, they reminded him of you. Happy Valentine’s Day to you both. Dad, this is Tobias. Hello, Tobias. Nice to meet you. You too, Mr. Spencer. Call me Lucky. Okay. Aiden, did you make this? Oh, I always make Mom a Valentine’s Day cake. Tobias helped. I washed the baking tools after Aiden was done with them. Oh, that is a huge help. Thank you. Aiden, this cake looks amazing. Do you guys want to have some with us? Well, we were actually headed to the Valentine’s Day skate. Oh, right. I forgot about that. But can I talk to you for a second about tonight? Yeah, of course. Tobias, please have a seat. Did you want to stay out later tonight? No, it’s not that. We don’t have to go, Mom. If it would make you more comfortable, Tobias and I can stay. Oh, I was so happy to see Sasha. And, of course, I didn’t buy the rumor that Jason’s her baby’s father. But… But then she plants one on him right in the middle of my interrogation room. Ow. Mac, honey, you have to try to relax. I’m trying. Well, try a little harder. And about the kiss, I’m sure that is the last thing you wanted to see. Well, it’s up there. Poor Sasha. Why poor Sasha? Isn’t it obvious? She was heartbroken over Cody, and Jason took advantage. It’s the only explanation. Mac. What? Come on. If there is one thing that we have learned over the years, from personal experience to everyone else’s, the heart wants what the heart wants. And Sasha’s may very well want Jason. Mm. I want a BOLO issued on Cyrus Renault. I want eyes on him as soon as this warrant comes through. Yeah? Thanks. I got an emergency warrant for Cyrus’s arrest. Yeah, I heard. If all goes according to plan, then a judge will sign off on it tonight. It’s good to have a plan. ♪♪ Jason. You understand that this is happening, right? I have enough evidence to connect Cyrus to multiple murders. Including Sam’s? We can get justice for her. But only if you let me do my job. Look, I’m not an idiot. I know that you can do precisely what you said you would. You — You can murder Cyrus and make his body disappear as soon as you walk out this door. But I’m asking you not to. Not for your sake, but for mine. Stay back! I got it. Can you turn it off? [ Laughs ] Oh, my God. What the hell was that? Uh, that was an experience. Is it possible for us to have a normal, incident-free time? Uh, well, I think Christmas Eve was relatively incident-free, huh? Yeah, I guess. Here, take this, maybe. I don’t know. It’s fine. I’m so sorry. Wow. Okay, this place was a mess before. Now it’s a wet mess. It’s ridiculous. Water dries. Yeah. Okay, so what do you think the odds are I can get a plumber to come out here this time of night? Uh, tonight? Slim to none. That’s what I thought. But luckily for you, your knight in shining, sopping-wet armor has arrived. You? Well, don’t look so surprised. If I can disarm an explosive device, I’m pretty sure I can fix your plumbing. Yes, Maxie, it’s — It’s going very well, if I do say so myself. Chemistry is palpable. Okay. Um, I have a confession to make. Uh-oh. Okay. Let me guess. You — You were humoring me, and you hate it here. Actually, just the opposite. Um, I love it here, but, um, I’ve been here before. Oh, okay. Well, that shouldn’t surprise me. Look, you have great taste. You’ve probably been to all the best places. Actually, I know the owner. You know the owner of the Savoy? Tell me more. Hi, Dad. First of all, thank you for being so protective of me. I appreciate and love you for that. But I kind of like spending time with your dad. And aren’t you excited about going skating? Yeah. Yeah, okay, well, then go skate. You and Tobias enjoy yourselves. You sure? I’m positive. You guys have fun. Your dad and I will just be here stuffing ourselves with your incredible cake. I’ve been doing this all wrong. It’s been four years, and I just — I keep telling myself it’s okay. Look forward, not back. Just don’t focus on the time you’ve lost. Well, good luck with that. And I was gone and time just went on. And I’ve been desperately trying to play catch-up. And I don’t know our son, Dante. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. And the more you’re here, the better you get to know him. I don’t know the person he is now. The — The young man he’s become. You were here to see all of it, and I just — all I’ve got is questions. Okay. Ask them. Come on, take a seat. Ask away. Okay. Has Rocco had a first crush? Ruby Stone. Ruby Stone? Yeah, I know. Did you meet the parents who did that to her? I didn’t. Uh, you know, that one was a brief one. Uh, is Rocco hard to wake up in the morning? Yeah, he’s got like 18 alarms, and he sleeps through all of them. How’s he doing in school? Great, actually. Really good. Friends? Tons. He’s — He’s a real leader. He’s a lot of fun. See, you know all that, and I don’t. But you will, right? You just got to catch up. And you will. You will catch up. You were right, Dante. I do really like that. No, everything you said about what I was doing, you were right. I was just so focused on Charlotte and bringing her home. Yeah, because your daughter wasn’t here and she should have been, so you had to look for her. But then I neglected the child I had right here. [ Sighs ] I am failing as a mother. No, you’re not. So don’t do that. And don’t say that because it’s not true. Okay, you guys, have fun. Bye. Bye. Tobias seems like a good kid. Yeah, they are. And that Aiden kid, he’s pretty special, too. Well, yeah. Why do I get the feeling that talk was not about tonight? Because it wasn’t. Our very considerate son offered to stay home and be our chaperone. So you’re asking me not to kill Cyrus for you? I’m asking you to put aside your anger. And our relationship, right, it’s changed. We’re friends. I mean — I mean, you can’t — You can’t really deny that. Like, we’ve worked together, we’ve traveled together. We’ve had each other’s backs. So that we have a friendship, you know, it’s clear. Not just to me, but to everyone. And that’s a problem? Yeah, it is, if you do what you say you’re going to do to Cyrus. If he disappears and we can’t trace it back to you, then it’s going to perpetuate this idea that there are people above the law based on their relationship to me or their friendship with me. I cannot have that, because then I’m just going to lose the faith of all my officers, this entire city. I mean, do you understand that? I understand what you’re saying, but none of it matters when you’re talking about the sick bastard who murdered Sam. The Savoy is far and away the best club in Port Charles. Thank you. Are you guys having a good time? Yeah, we are. Well, then, we will leave you to it. But don’t forget to stick around for the surprise musical act. Oh, I haven’t been able to get it out of him either. In fact, I’d better go, just to be safe, make sure that they’re still on schedule. I wouldn’t want all this hype to be for nothing. I’ll get drinks. Enjoy your night. Okay, well, you heard the man. I guess we should stick around. Guess so. I’m asking you to trust me when I say that my department can bring Cyrus in based on the evidence that we’ve collected. And we can get justice for Sam. I’ve taken some big chances on you. I’ve never asked you to. It doesn’t matter. They’ve all paid off. I’m asking you to take a chance on me. To just have a little faith in me. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. You know, we have had our ups and downs over the years. That’s a neat and tidy way of putting it. But it’s true. We’ve stopped and we’ve started, and we’ve stopped and we’ve started. There was even a time when you cut your losses and moved on. Tried to move on, but I was destined to fail. All I had to do was look in those beautiful blue eyes and I was falling in love with you all over again. Well, it took me a little while to get there, but then I finally realized it was you all along. My happily ever after. Ow! Oh! Are you all right? No. No, not if you’re saying that Jason is Sasha’s happily ever after. I’m not. Ohh. That is not for me to decide. Or you. Sasha’s the one who gets to decide that. All you get to do is show your love and support, like you have all of our girls. And I know you will. Of course I will. Sasha’s family. Yes. And on that, she will figure out that you are the world’s greatest uncle and you’re there to support her. Well, her aunt’s not too shabby either. Sasha’s going to be okay. I’ll make sure of it. We’ll make sure of it. The way only Scorpios can. Is Aiden worried that you and I are getting too close? Oh, I wouldn’t say he’s worried, but he does know that we’ve been spending a lot of time together. And he’s questioning my intentions. He is looking after me. All my boys do, but he’s the only one living here at the moment, so he just wants to make sure I’m being treated well. By me. By anyone. But tonight, specifically me. It’s fair. It’s not like I’ve been around, been someone that you and Aiden can — can count on. It makes sense that he’s scared you’d get hurt on my watch. I’m just grateful that he’s protective of me. So am I. But I will make it very clear to our son that he doesn’t have to protect me from you. I don’t need it. You are a good mom, Lulu. Missing four years doesn’t change any of that. Good mom, huh? Yeah. Even when I was flying off to Europe without telling anyone and dodging bullets in the street? Well, you were fearing for your daughter’s life. I think any parent can relate to that. Even you? Mm-hmm. Especially me. Didn’t feel that way when you were reading me the riot act. Yeah, I know. And that wasn’t cool of me to do that. I was kidding, Dante. I know, but still, I shouldn’t have made it seem like you were choosing between Charlotte and Rocco. Thank you. And I’m sorry for being so stubborn. Oh, since when? Have I been stubborn? Since when have you apologized for it? Not often. Fine. Not often enough. And I am really sorry that I’m not giving Rocco what he needs. Why do you say that? Because I don’t know what he needs. Our boy is a teenager, Lulu. I mean, his needs change every 15 minutes. But what he — what he really needs is his mom. He needs a better one. I think he’s got a great one. And she’s not a mind reader. And she can’t always predict where his next move is going to take him. But neither can his father, for that matter. His mom is here, and she loves him. He needs more from me than that. Why can’t you see what you being here and loving him has done for him? I mean, our son was walking around here in pain and sadness for the longest time, and now that is gone. You’ve — You’ve made it disappear. Rocco has a light in his eye I haven’t seen since he was a kid. And that’s because of you, too. Flying solo on Valentine’s Day? Looks like it. Well, careful not to overdo it. No one likes a sloppy drunk. Full disclosure? Please. Um, I haven’t been on a date in a long time, and the only reason I came on this one is because Maxie was on my case about it. I don’t know Maxie that well yet, but I know she can be determined. Relentless. That’ll work too. But I understand. You’re not ready. I’m sorry. Don’t be. Just get my number from Maxie and call me when you are. ♪♪ What is wrong with me? What is wrong with that guy? Oh! Hey. Happy Valentine’s Day. Hey. Where’s Maxie? Okay, I think I took care of the problem. Go ahead. Try the water. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Do I detect doubt? You do. Well, go ahead, give it a whirl. Look, at the very worst, you could say “I told you so.” And at the very best, you could say… Thank you. You’re welcome. How did you do that? My father was a plumber. Really? Wow. I envisioned you descending from a long line of super spies. My dad always said, even if the world ends, you’re always going to need a plumber. Oh, I agree. I mean, if there is an apocalypse, you’re going to want to shower eventually. Yeah, so he taught me a few tricks over the years. He sure did. Does anyone else know that, um, your dad was a plumber? I don’t know. Well, I suppose the WSB must have it somewhere in a file deep in the archives. I like knowing something about you that nobody else does. They say knowledge is power. They do, don’t they? ♪♪ God, you’ve seen me at my worst. I mean, I have compromised myself way more than I ever thought I would be capable of at this point in my life anyway. Yeah, I don’t discount any of that. And I’ve put my life in your hands. And I don’t do that with many people. I know. I mean, that’s my point. Like, this trust we have, it’s unexpected, but it’s very real. And it’s also, unfortunately, very obvious. So if you kill Cyrus and you get away with it — You would have nothing to do with it. No one would believe that. They would think that I had looked the other way, or worse, that I had helped you cover this crime up. And I can’t lead if I don’t have the respect of my officers. Okay, so what are you asking me to do? Just to trust me to bring Cyrus in. And I will get justice for Sam. [ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. It’s Commissioner Devane. What’s happening with the warrant? Why am I torturing myself? Excuse me? Nothing. ♪♪ On your way out? I suddenly do not know. I was wondering if you wanted some company. Oh, I’m so sorry that Maxie’s not feeling well. Believe me, so am I. Because I am now playing matchmaker in her place. And Gunther, the model, just ditched Lucas. So I know Maxie will be furious, and I fear I’ve let down Lucas. Oh, well, I’m sure he appreciated the effort, though. Where did he disappear to? Thank you. No! Can we just shut this holiday down now? Chase: No, we just got here. Yeah. Save some of the Valentine’s Day fun for us. Speaking of which, where’s the surprise that you’ve been hinting at? You’ll see. When? It requires some patience. Patience is not one of your best qualities. I have other great qualities. Yes, you do. But I’m going to go check on your surprise anyway. Okay? Okay. Hurry back. I will. This is an amazing turnout, babe. Yeah, it’s a good night. You know, do you ever think about leaving Aurora and coming back to this place? I mean, I love the Savoy, but, uh, Aurora just presents a challenge. Every day I’m there, I feel like I’m growing. Yeah, I can see that. [ Speaks indistinctly ] Sorry to interrupt, but I think it’s time. Okay. It looks like, uh, our guest performer is ready. Excuse me. Yes. Of course. All right. Good evening, everyone. I’m Curtis Ashford, and welcome to the Savoy. And might I add, Happy Valentine’s Day. So tonight we have a very special guest performance. He is one of our favorites. Where’s Chase? He’s gonna miss this. And he’s no stranger to this stage. So I’m going to need you to put your hands together and help me welcome our special guest performer, Mr. Harrison Chase. [ Cheers and applause ] I see you’re still pretty decent at a pep talk. Well, I guess I have my moments. Make sure Rocco gets those? And no sticky Quartermaine fingers trying to steal any. Oh, yeah. I will guard those with my life. Hey, uh, he’s gonna love those. He’ll always be my Valentine. Just make sure he doesn’t eat them all at once. Tell him to pace himself. I will, I definitely will. But you know what? There’s an awful lot of these. Like, I should probably take one or two off his hands, you know? You heard what I said about the Quartermaines. Yeah. Good thing my last name is not Quartermaine. Dante, don’t you dare. These look really good. This one, I think, actually has my name on it. Oh, no. You asked for it. This is not what you expected tonight, huh? Exploding pipes and helping me do dishes. Well, when it comes to you, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. [ Laughs ] Okay. You’re going to have to send me your dry cleaning bill. Oh, there’s no need. Didn’t I tell you my mother was a dry cleaner? [ Laughs ] Are you sure you don’t want another slice? Speak now or forever hold your peace. Aiden baked that cake for you. Far be it from me to go against his wishes. Smart man. What? Do I have something on my face? You’re just as beautiful as the day I met you. Lucky. [ Chuckles ] It’s true. You haven’t changed at all. Look closer. I am. And you’ve never looked more beautiful. ♪♪ What the hell are you talking about? That’s ridiculous. There isn’t anyone else that can sign off? There’s not another judge? Fine, fine. First thing tomorrow. Yeah. Do you understand? First thing. So no warrant. The judge won’t sign off until the morning. Anna. No, don’t. Please. I just want to say what — Whatever happens to Cyrus, your office is going to respect you for the same reasons I do. Your strength, your courage, your willingness to put yourself on the line. I understand completely why you would want to kill Cyrus. I get it. I know you do. And I’m not sure there’s anybody else in my life that — that understands that like you do. Don’t let Carly hear you say that. No, Carly accepts me, and I know she loves me. But you do understand me. I think it’s because we’re alike. We are. The warrant’s coming. But, um, I — I can’t hold you any longer. My time’s up. ♪♪ Hey. I’m asking you as my friend. Please don’t kill Cyrus. And you’re a good friend. And I appreciate your friendship more than you know. That wasn’t an answer. ♪♪ Wow. It has been a while since I performed, but it’s good to be back on stage. My singing career, in a word, would be brief, but I met my beautiful wife doing it. And for that, I am forever grateful. So, Brook Lynn, this is for you. I love you.
