[ Cellphone ringing in distance ]
[ Sighs lightly ]
[ Metal squeaks ]
[ Sighing lightly ]
[ Ringing continues ]
Chase: [ Breathing heavily ] I know. I know. Iām ā Iām on my way. Hey, Iām the one doing you a favor, okay? Relax. Iāve got this covered.
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Laura: Aiden. Hey. What you looking at?
Elizabeth: Hi. What are you doing here?
Finn: I was just, uh⦠[ Sighs ] Nowhere near your neighborhood, and I thought Iād stop by and say hi.
Elizabeth: -Get in here. [ Chuckles ]
Finn: -Okay. You know, uh, to be honest with you, it didnāt sit right with me that you talked to me into letting you stay here alone last night.
Elizabeth: Aww, thatās sweet youāre worried.
Finn: Iām not sweet, but I am worried about you.
Elizabeth: Okay. Well, I appreciate that youāre concerned, but jake and Aiden are safe at Lauraās and nothing happened last night. [ Sighs ]
Finn: You canāt possibly think that the threat is over.
Elizabeth: No. Somebody is going through an awful lot of trouble to get my attention, and itās working. How can I ever feel at peace until we find out whoās behind this?
Sonny: Once people learn that I donāt ā Iām not the owner, then, uh, Charlieās is now going to be targeted. You know what Iām saying? But itās better to be safe than sorry. The most important thing is that Phyllis wasnāt here when it happened. Everythingās gonna be okay. Right?
Carly: Well, seems we agree on that. When was the last time that happened?
Alexis: Ah, Nina, thank you for coming.
Nina: Of course. Itās not every day that the editor-in-chief of the townās hottest newspaper wants to speak with you in private. Alexis. This is all off the record, Iām assuming?
Alexis: Yes, as long as it extends in both directions. Please, come in. I mean, Crimson has done a number of journalistic pieces over the years.
Nina: Now Iām definitely intrigued. Whatās all this about?
Willow: Nina completely omitted that sheād been with Sonny.
Smoltz: Been with him sexually?
Willow: Yes. And the next time Nina approached me, I confronted her. She insisted she hadnāt done anything wrong, and she was upset when I told her she couldnāt see Wiley.
Michael: And a few days later, she filed the petition for visitation.
Smoltz: Okay. Thanks.
[ Beeps ]
Smoltz: Thatās all I need for now. Uh, Iāll contact you if I have any follow-up questions.
Michael: Look, itās, uh⦠[Sighs] Itās important that the first segment of this feature is published before the visitation hearing.
Willow: We understand that judges are supposed to be impartial.
Michael: Still, if a storyās blowing up on peopleās social media, it could get traction in the court of public opinion.
Smoltz: Iām on it. But just to be up front, I have to reach out to Ms. Reeves for her side of the story. So if thereās anything you havenāt told me yet, now would be the time. If thereās dirty laundry, I will find it.
Harmony: Yes, Iām still planning on meeting you at rana point, 8:00 P.M.
Brendan: Change in plans. Iām leaving Port Charles earlier than anticipated. We need to meet now.
Harmony: [ Sighs ] Fine.
Brendan: That was easier than I thought.
Harmony: What can I say? You have the upper hand. We both know that.
Good. Give me the money, and youāll never hear from me again.
Harmony: Yes. Thatās what Iām hoping for.
Finn: I really should have stayed here with you.
Elizabeth: You have to prioritize taking care of Violet, and weāve already just discussed that she shouldnāt be here. And besides, if this person is motivated to do these things because they think Iām [Sighs] Forgetting about Franco, then having you here, it could make things worse.
Finn: You canāt keep going like this. When was the last time you had a full nightās sleep? You were probably looking over your shoulder the whole night.
Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ] I wasnāt alone. Cameron was with me.
Finn: Yeah, but Camās in college, and heās got a girlfriend. He may not be here every night. So if youāre not gonna leave and you wonāt let me stay here with you, I was going to suggest a ā a possible solution to keep you safe. I was thinking ā
[ Doorbell rings ]
Finn: That might be the, uh, possible solution right now.
Elizabeth: Mm.
Finn: [ Sighs ]
Chase: Hi, Elizabeth. I am so sorry Iām late.
Aiden: This? Itās just something stupid my friend sent me.
Laura: Can I see?
[ Bell ringing in distance ]
Laura: The Ouija board. [ Laughing ]
Aiden: Grandma, you know what those are?
Laura: Oh, sure. Yeah. When I was your age, we used to have slumber parties, and then weād hold a sĆ©ance and use the Ouija board to contact the dead.
Aiden: Wait. You talked to dead people?
Laura: No, no, not at all. I-itās ā itās pretend. Itās completely pretend. I-I-itās actually ā you know what it is? Itās a little game that people play. Um, clearly, one of my friends was pushing the pointer around the board to trick us all into believing that it was real. But itās not. Not at all. Why are you so interested in the Ouija board?
Aiden: Someone broke in again? What if itās Franco?
Aiden: Just something I saw on TV.
Willow: Our dirty laundry has already been made public.
Michael: We have nothing to hide. But Nina does.
Smoltz: Good. And just to reiterate, you both signed over the exclusive rights to your story to me. Youāre not allowed to discuss this with any other outlet ā meaning print, radio, TV, online ā theyāre all off the table. Unless, of course, you want to hire another team of attorneys.
Michael: We understand the terms.
Willow: [ Sighs ]
Smoltz: Great. Then Iāll be in touch. Well, we officially pulled the trigger. [ Sighs ] How are you feeling about all this?
Willow: I donāt love it, but I feel like Iām doing what needs to be done.
Michael: And I feel the same.
Willow: Whatās my mom doing here? Mom?
Harmony: Oh, hi, Willow.
Willow: What brings you to the Metro Court? And where are you off to in such a hurry?
Alexis: Can I ask you about your⦠well, about the nature of your relationship with Harmony?
Nina: Oh, we donāt really have a relationship, Alexis. I mean, I did recently talk to her about speaking up for me with Willow, because I was trying to avoid a court proceeding to get visitation rights with Wiley. But thatās it. You and Harmony ā youāre friends, right?
Alexis: Uh, we forged a friendship in ā in Spring Ridge. Harmony confided in me that you used her to get Michael and Willow to back down.
Nina: Uh. Alexis, I did not use her. I mean, I had a conversation with her, grandmother to grandmother.
Alexis: I-I donāt want to get bogged down in the weeds about that. When Harmony went to clear the air with Carly, she said that she went to bat for you, that she owes you something. Uh, do you have ā do you know why she feels that she owes you something?
Nina: I have no idea what she is talking about. I mean, Iām not holding anything over her head, if thatās what youāre implying. I mean, I would think that she would have some sympathy for my situation because sheās also Wileyās grandmother.
Alexis: True. I donāt know. Maybe thereās something more to it than that.
Sonny: Can you wait outside? Check on everything from there?
Frank: Yes, sir, Mr. Corinthos.
Sonny: Alright.
Frank: Mrs. Corinthos.
Carly: Well, I heard about the robbery attempt last night.
[ Door opens, closes ]
Carly: I just wanted to⦠come by and make sure everyoneās okay.
Sonny: Yeah. Good thing Phyllis wasnāt here w-when it happened.
Carly: What about Nina? I donāt want to be caught off guard, so, um, is this something I need to worry about?
Sonny: What do you mean?
Carly: Is this a sign that your enemies are smelling blood in the water?
Elizabeth: Uh, Chase. Whatās all this?
Chase: You didnāt tell her about this?
Finn: Your timing stinks. I was just about to when the doorbell rang.
Chace: Nope, Iām out. Ambushing Elizabeth with this is a horrible idea.
Elizabeth: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is a horrible idea?
Finn: I knew if I asked, youād just refuse.
Elizabeth: Oh, well, that is an awful communication strategy.
Chase: My brotherās people skills leave a lot to be desired.
Finn: As a reminder, I saved your life. You think thatād buy me at least a yearās worth of slack.
Chase: I agreed to six months, so your coupon has expired.
Elizabeth: Will someone just tell me whatās going on?
Finn: Okay, look, as you know, Chase is a ā is ā is a cop, alright? But heās been suspended, so he needs to keep busy. And you could use some security, so I thought maybe he could stay here a few days just to keep an eye on things.
Elizabeth: Dante and Jordan are sending patrol cars to check on the house. And no offense, but I donāt need a babysitter.
Finn: Mnh.
Chase: And thatās not why Iād be here. I can help you find out whoās been trying to scare your family for months⦠and put a stop to it.
Laura: Look, I know this is a change in your routine, but I promise you, weāre going to have fun. You know what? Iām gonna give you run of the kitchen. You can make Grandpa Kevin any dessert you want, ācause you know heās got a sweet tooth. [ Laughs ]
Lucy: [ Laughs ] Oh, that doc. You know, some things never change.
Laura: Lucy, hey. Hi. Congratulations on deceptionās IPO.
Lucy: Oh!
Laura: Itās amazing.
Lucy: T-thank you. T-thank you. Thank you. Uh. Hello there. [ Laughs ] Listen, uh, itās just⦠itās just so crazy. I-I canāt get over it. I mean, I-I knew the company was good. I had high hopes, but I just never thought the universe was going to grant me all of this.
Laura: I know.
Lucy: [ Chuckles ]
Laura: I bet youāre glad now that our plans to use the Deception brand to launch a day spa didnāt work out all those years ago.
[ Both laugh ]
Lucy: Well, I appreciate your goodwill, but remember, I did offer to set some stock aside for you, because, you know, you were a former partner in the early 2000s.
Laura: [ Sighs ] I appreciate your offer. I really do. But as the mayor, I think itās best that I donāt have a vested interest in any of the local businesses, even one as successful as yours.
Lucy: It is. It is. I know.
Laura: [ Laughs ]
Lucy: This is just crazy. I-itās ā itās so good. I ā Iām getting all these congratulatory bouquets from all the men in my life ā mac and scotty and Martin ā n-n-not that Martin. You know, I donāt even talk to Martin. I mean, I talk too much, but I donāt talk to him right now ā
Laura: Lucy. I know youāre still dating my brother.
Carly: What Nina did to you is common knowledge. You didnāt retaliate, and you didnāt punish her. Just the opposite ā you protected her, and now youāre sleeping with her. So maybe it sent a message to the other families that youāre weak.
Sonny: Y-youāre overthinking it, is what youāre doing.
Carly: What are you talking about? Everyone knows that you own Charlieās, Sonny. Who the hell would risk robbing the place? Was it one of the other families?
Sonny: No.
Carly: I mean, was it Selina Wu?
Sonny: Itās not ā itās not the Wus. Selina and I have an understanding. As far as the robbery, the five families are now two, so thereās going to be a lot of wannabes who are gonna try to make a name for themselves.
Carly: Doesnāt help that Jasonās gone and heās about to be declared legally dead.
Sonny: Well, let me make you feel a little better about that. Brick is gonna be taking over for Jason.
Carly: I donāt want to know. I donāt want to know. Because Iām no longer your wife, and I donāt want that responsibility.
