TJ: Grandpa accused Drew Cane of making him a fake job offer. He figured out it was a ruse to run some kind of background check andā¦ and thatās why he left town. Am I right?
Curtis: Yeah. And he was not too happy about it.
TJ: I donāt blame him. So whatās your plan?
Curtis: My plan?
TJ: To find grandpa and bring him back?
Carly: I cost Nina her daughter? Have you forgotten your big plan to pass Sasha off as Ninaās daughter? Have you forgotten how hurt she was? Hell, I almost felt sorry for Nina at the time.
Valentin: Iāve never claimed to be perfect.
Carly: And you were the one who met with Ninaās mother, right? If you would have told Nina the truth at the start, Iām sure your search would have led to Nelle. In my opinion, I think it was a gift. You spared Nina the nightmare of trying to be a mother to Nelle, who was broken and dangerous. But I doubt Nina feels that way. So, if you ask me, if anyoneās responsible for costing Nina a relationship with her daughter, itās you.
Chet: Is this seat taken?
Terry: Teal shirt. So far, Iām not disappointed at all.
Chet: Oh. Neither am I.
Terry: Same shirt, same opening lines. Is this Valentineās dĆ©j vu?
Chet: Nope. And Iām not the mistaken date. I am the real deal.
Josslyn: Iām so glad that you suggested this instead of hitting the gym. I am so tight, and I need to stretch.
Trina: My mom swears by this class. Iām just glad we got here early. Fewer people, the better.
Josslyn: Well, Iām so glad you decided to come with me. I could use all the support I could get whipping myself back into shape so that Iām a beast by volleyball season.
Trina: Youāll be unstoppable.
Carly: Thank you. I hope so. I just canāt wait to get my life back on track.
Trina: I know the feeling. [ Sighs ] When this trial is over, Iāve grabbing life and Iām going for it.
Spencer: What?
Cameron: Now that youāve learned how to bus tables, where are we with Esme? Have you dug anything up?
Spencer: You know, these things, they have to be finessed. It takes time.
Cameron: Look. I have been covering for you and lying to Joss. I need to know that the hell that Iāve been catching is worth it. I mean, is this plan to exonerate Trina even working?
Spencer: As much as I wish I could say yes, Iā¦ I havenāt found anything yet. I havenāt ā I havenāt uncovered anything about Esme.
Cameron: And I thought you were the master of stealth. You used to be good at sneaking around.
Spencer: I know, I know. But Esme is brilliant at covering her tracks. Even her secrets have secrets.
Esme: āDear Esme, I was so glad to get your letter with all your good news, winning prizes at school and a big circle of friends. Your life in Port Charles sounds like a success. Iām especially glad to hear that you and Spencer are happy and closer than ever.ā
Nina: Hey. Sorry. Iām so sorry. Time just got away from me. I was strategizing with Scott about my visitation hearing.
Ava: Oh. Sounds like Scott has learned his lesson. No more sneak attacks like in Pennsylvania?
Nina: No, he definitely learned his lesson. This time when he goes after Willow, itāll be on my orders.
Terry: To talking IRL. Welcome home.
Chet: To finally making this happen.
Terry: How was your trip back?
Chet: Are you as nervous as I am?
Terry: Oh. [ Laughs ] You first.
Chet: After you. Okay. Is this how itās gonna be like all night?
Terry: We did better texting. Maybe we should pull out our phones?
Chet: Well, then weād be looking down all evening. I wouldnāt be able to look into those beautiful eyes.
Terry: [ Chuckles ]
Chet: Was that cheesy?
Terry: But effective.
Valentin: Carly, it would be nice if we didnāt have to litigate the past.
Carly: Great. But you started it.
Valentin: I am just suggesting it would benefit everyone if you and Nina were to set aside your differences.
Carly: āDifferences.ā Is that what weāre calling it?
Valentin: Iām not defending the choices that Ninaās made. I am simply appealing to your compassionate side.
Carly: What makes you think that I would have one ounce of compassion for Nina?
Valentin: Because you have everything Ninaās ever wanted.
Carly: Really? Last I checked, she has my husband.
Ava: I have nothing against you playing hardball where your grandson is concerned. But youāre gonna go after Willow? Now? Didnāt her mom just die?
Nina: Yeah, um, I donāt mean to sound callous. I really donāt. What I meant by that was Iām just ready to fight. I donāt have a choice. Willow and Michael, they shot at me first.
Ava: Oh, so, was that first shot the feature in the invader or the charges in Pennsylvania?
Nina: [ Stammers ] How do you know about the feature?
Ava: Well, that reporter ā the Smoltz? Smeltz? Whaā he reached out to me for comment.
Nina: Why would he reach out to you about my petition for visitation with Wiley?
Ava: Oh, no, Nina. No, it wasnāt about Wiley. It was about Averyā¦ and how she was born.
Cameron: I mean, Esmeās good at covering her tracks? Couldnāt see that one coming. Duh.
Spencer: Nice. Howād you get into college with such a rudimentary vocabulary?
Cameron: How do you function with such lackluster critical-thinking skills? Maybe I was wrong to trust you that you can handle Esme. Youāve been in over your head this entire time.
Spencer: Not always. Just recently. Iāve been trying to get her to trust me so that sheāll confess, but I donāt think that Iām giving her everything that she wants.
Cameron: What more could she want?
Spencer: Intimacy.
Cameron: Wait. So youāre saying āMr. Iām gonna give you sex advice that I donāt wantā ā
Spencer: Yes, bro. Thatās what Iām saying. My girlfriend wants to have sex with me, and Iām running out of ways to avoid it.
Esme: āSpencer seems to be good for you. Donāt let him go. Iām also relieved to hear that you arenāt pursuing a relationship with your biological father.ā
[ Boxes thumping ]
Esme: āYou are smart and industrious. Use those gifts for good, Esme. Continue to focus on school and Spencer. Most of all, be happy. Love, Maggie.ā Donāt worry, Maggie. I intend to be happy.
Josslyn: Trina, enjoying the view of Officer Invisible?
Trina: Officer Cabrera.
Josslyn: Right. I wonder what heās doing here.
Trina: Umā¦ probably just taking a yoga class. I-I mean, he was obviously here before us.
Josslyn: Hmm. Okay, well, you know, I just want to make sure that youāre comfortable, you know, being around him and everything. The police, theyāre still investigating and theyāre trying to prove that you did something you didnāt do.
Trina: [ Scoffs ] No. Officer Cabreraās not like that.
Josslyn: Yeah, I guess. I mean, he seemed okay that day at the courthouse. Not so much when arresting Cameron.
Trina: And Spencer.
Josslyn: Oh, he can arrest Spencer any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I just want to make sure that heās not harassing you.
Trina: No, he isn’t. I mean, I nearly pepper-sprayed him at the gallery, but he was cool about it.
Josslyn: What?
Trina: I mean, he told me the reason why he arrested Cam is because Commissioner Ashford wants everything by the book. And because heās a rookie. I guess heā¦overcompensated.
Josslyn: I guess. And Cam did completely lose his head with Spencer.
Trina: Donāt act like you didnāt love when your man came to your defense.
Josslyn: Okay. It was hot.
[ Both chuckle ]
Trina: TMI.
Josslyn: But it looks like Iām not the only one who recognizes hotness. Looks like Officer Cabrera is not so invisible anymore.
Curtis: I have no plans to go after Marshall. The man wants to be gone. Thatās his prerogative.
TJ: You canāt mean that.
Curtis: I can. And I do. Why would I go against his wishes?
TJ: Well, you didnāt have any problems going against his wishes before.
Curtis: Okay. Sound like you have something you want to say.
TJ: You know I respect you, Uncle Curtis, and I realize that heās your father, not mine.
Curtis: TJ, okay. If youāre gonna go in on me about the methods I used, Portia already did and so did your mom.
TJ: No, itās not only your methods. Itās the fact that since ā since ā since Marshall let it be known who he was, you have called all the shots. You even asked me to steer clear, and at first, I complied.
Curtis: Just trying to protect my family.
TJ: You have always been the head of this family, and I respect that. But now that you know the truth, was it worth losing the one chance you had with your father?
Terry: Your trip sounded like a success.
Chet: Yeah, it was. We were able to do a lot of good for the vets.
Terry: Was it hard going back?
Chet: At first. Working with the wounded veterans always brings me right into that place ā in pain, uncertain of the future. But one of the guys came up to me and told me that seeing me thrive after my injuries, it showed him what was possible. So because of guys like him, I keep going back.
Terry: Thatās incredible. How affirming.
Chet: Yeah. For them and for me. Iām not gonna lie. Theyāll have to clear some hurdles, have to believe in themselves, not give up, and do the work. But they can clear those hurdles.
Terry: Like you have.
Chet: Yeah, well, itās still not that easy. In factā¦ can I make a confession?
Cameron: So, youāre saying that you and Esme have not had sex since Spring Ridge?
Spencer: Iāve been trying to string her along, but I donāt want to have sex with her, especially not after she framed and betrayed my best friends.
Cameron: Dude.
Spencer: But I canāt get her to open up. I donāt know. It must be the lack of sex, right?
Cameron: You think?! I mean, the way you guys were all over each other before? Did you at least search her stuff?
Spencer: Iāve been trying to, but sheās always around. At first, it was because she was hiding from Uncle Sonny, but now she basically times leaving the house with whenever Iām going to work or the gallery. I mean, I canāt shake her. If Iām ā if Iām sneezing, Esmeās there to say, āgesundheit.ā
Cameron: Well, then, weāre out of options. If you canāt search her belongings and she wonāt confess, that only leaves one choice.
Spencer: Donāt say it, dude.
Cameron: You have to tell Joss and Trina the truth.
Rory: Howās it going? You guys here for the next class? I was in the previous one, but I wanted to stretch out a little more.
Josslyn: We came early. We were hoping that you would come say hi.
Rory: Is it safe or are you armed again?
Josslyn: Just with good looks, intelligence, and charm. Trina is the full package.
Trina: I-I didnāt know you were into yoga. Or are you here on an assignment?
Rory: Uh, off duty, maāam. Itās my day off. In fact, I spent the afternoon at The Chuck.
Trina: Oh. Having lunch on the front steps orā¦?
Rory: Uh, no, I actually went inside this time.
Trina: Hm! I rented one of those audio guides, but it wasnāt as good as the Jerome Gallery. I couldnāt ask questions.
Josslyn: Oh, well, next time, ask Trina. She is an expert.
Trina: Hardly an expert. I mean, Officer Cabrera couldnāt even really seek out my opinion on art, not while Iām facing a trial.
Josslyn: Why not? Heās not your arresting officer. Okay. Um, Iām gonna just ā Iām gonna put our bags away.
Trina: Iām ā Iām sorry about that.
Rory: Oh. Donāt be. Your friendās right.
Valentin: Even if we were to put Sonny in Ninaās column of assets, look at everything she doesnāt have. She doesnāt have children. She has no relationship with her grandchild. She has a few friends, but nothing like the roots in the community that you have. Even her office space is at your mercy.
Carly: Iām happy to let Nina out of her lease at Crimson. Iām sure she can afford the penalty. She has no problem coming up with the money to buy herself out of all of her legal difficulties. And she has defenders like you who trip over themselves running to her rescue every time she chips a fingernail. Ninaās no victim!
Valentin: Carly, Nina has been exploited by almost everyone who has ever claimed to care for her. And before you say anything, yes, Iām including myself on that list. The least I can do is come to her defense.
Carly: Who hasnāt been exploited?
Valentin: I get that. And Iām not minimizing what has happened to you. But youāre strong. And you have a huge heart. Can you really tell me thereās no part of you thatā¦ feels for Nina?
Nina: Donāt know why that reporter would dredge all that up again. T-this is Michael, Willow, and Carlyās doing. Do you see now what I am dealing with?
Ava: In all fairness, Ninaā¦ it is public record. Everything you did. The forced laborā¦ kidnapping Avery, taking her to Canada.
Nina: Please. I was a different person.
Ava: Yeah, thatās right. You were. Iām just warning you that Diane Miller is definitely gonna bring it up in court and that the judge will likely find it kind of pertinent.
Nina: Yeah, I was just ā I w-wasnāt in my right mind. Umā¦ Iāve worked a lot on myself, you know? So what did you tell the reporter?
Ava: Nothing. I didnāt tell him anything. Iām not gonna talk. The only time Iām gonna talk is in court if Iām called to testify on your behalf.
Nina: Thank you. Yeah, because Wiley lost a grandmother last night. He canāt lose another one.
Ava: What about Wileyās grandfather? Is Sonny still hands-off?
Nina: Yeah, I made it very clear to Scott that he is not to question Sonny on the stand.
Ava: Well, thatās not really what I meant. The last time we talked, you said that you were trying to resist temptation when it comes to Sonny. So howās that going?
Carly: Ninaās been hurt badly? So what? Many of us have endured trauma. Carrying on isnāt a miracle. Itās called life.
Valentin: And you are fortunate. You have multiple safety nets. You have your mother, your brother, your children, your friends. Nina really only has three people that she can count on. Sheās got Phyllis. Sheās got Wiley ā
Carly: Sonny.
Valentin: That is a relationship that is very important to her.
Carly: Right. Who Sonny chooses to love is his business. Itās not Wileyās job to be Ninaās emotional support.
Valentin: Phyllis is highly protective of Nina. Do you really think that she would give her that loyalty if Nina didnāt deserve it?
Carly: Phyllis nursed Nina when she was in a coma and pregnant, right? Was Phyllis there when Nina gave birth?
Valentin: Why on earth would you need to know that?
Nina: Thereās nothing going on with me and Sonny.
Ava: Nothing? Nothing at all?
Nina: We danced.
Ava: Is that a euphemism?
Nina: Would you stā why is your mind always in the gutter?
Ava: I know. I canāt help it. Iām just being coy. And tell me, are you and Sonny an item or what?
Nina: Mnh! Hey, Amy. How you doing?
Amy: Oh, hi. Iām terrible, thanks. And you?
Nina: Oh. Iām sorry to hear about that.
Amy: All I wanted was a day off. Is that a crime?
Ava: Iām not sure weāre the ones to arbitrate what constitutes a crime.
Nina: Well, I hope the rest of your day goes better, and you just let me know if thereās anything I can do, okay?
Amy: Iām so glad you asked.
Chet: On valentineās day, I knew you hadnāt clocked my prosthetic legs, and I should have told you that evening, but I chose not to because we were having such a nice time. Instead, I chose to tell you through text, which was nerve-racking and a bit dishonest.
Terry: I didnāt feel it was dishonest. Why didnāt you tell me that night? Did you think Iād be turned off?
Chet: Itās happened before.
Terry: Iām sorry some people are like that. I wasnāt turned off. If anything, I was in awe of your bravery. And I understand why youād want to hold back disclosing deeply personal matters at first. After all, we barely knew each otherās names. We didnāt know weād keep in touch like we have or form any kind ofā¦ relationship.
Chet: Were you nervous when you told me?
Terry: Terrified. Thatās how I knew I really liked you. Iāve worked hard to be proud of who I am and the many challenges Iāve navigated to live my truth, truly be who Iām meant to be. But I have to admit, I would have been devastated if you decided dating a trans woman was a deal breaker.
Chet: Missing out on you would have been my loss.
Terry: And mine, if I had rejected you because you donāt have the legs you were born with.
Chet: Well, I know our situations arenāt the same. I donāt have to worry about violence against me or actual laws being passed to curtail my rights. But I do worry about not being seen.
Terry: Itās everything, right? All people want is to be seen for their individual inherent beauty and dignity.
Chet: And be accepted.
Terry: And loved. If itās in the cards.
Rory: If you would have been with me at the chuck, I might have understood what I was looking at.
Trina: Well, first of all, I told you, art is subjective. And, secondly, thatās what docents are for.
Rory: And, third of all, I have no idea what a docent is.
Trina: [ Chuckles ]
Rory: Um, but you were partially right before. As an officer, Iām not allowed to socialize with anyone whoās the subject of an active investigation.
Trina: Well, then maybe you shouldnāt be talking to me in public.
Rory: Well, thereās no rule against me bumping into you, which is what happened. Besides, when you beat those chargesā¦
Trina: If I beat them.
Rory: You will.
Cameron: Sometimes it takes a village to bring down a lying snake. Trina and Joss can help us.
Spencer: No offense, but your girlfriendās a hothead. She canāt stand Esme.
Cameron: Neither can anyone else.
Spencer: Okay, but my point is that if Esme pushes the right buttons, Joss is gonna come out swinging and blow everything up. Look, I know I can do this. I just need more time.
Cameron: We donāt have time. Okay? With each passing day, Trinaās trial date comes closer, and without another suspect, the worse itāll look for her.
Spencer: Hey, no one wants to help Trina more than me.
Cameron: Thereās got to be a loose end out there. Somewhere thereās physical evidence linking Esme to the crime and incriminates her. You just have to find it.
Spencer: When? Esme and I are always together.
Cameron: I donāt see her now.
Spencer: She went to a yoga class. Trust that in about an hour sheās gonna walk through that door just in time for me to finish my shift.
Cameron: Well, then go. I will stall Esme.
Curtis: Itās true ā Marshall suddenly appearing into my life, it, um, raised a lot of feelings.
TJ: And I can understand that. But going against his wishes and investigating his past, that didnāt only affect you.
Curtis: T, I had to investigate. I had to know if he was bringing danger to you, to Aunt Stella, to Portia, to all the people I love.
TJ: So you actively investigate until you find something?
Curtis: I had to know.
TJ: Okay. And now that you do knowā¦ what did it cost you? Was it worth it? Because it wasnāt worth it to me. I was just getting to know my grandfather, and he left town without saying a word to me.
Curtis: Well, goodbyes arenāt his strong suit.
TJ: Marshall had his faults, but he was making an effort. He was making an effort with you. He was making an effort with meā¦ Epiphany, Stella, even Portia and Trina.
Curtis: I know.
TJ: So I, for one, Iām gonna miss him.
Curtis: I know.
TJ: And I know you didnāt talk to me about it, but did you consult with Stella before investigating his past?
Curtis: Aunt Stella found out that I was digging into Marshallās past, and she asked me to leave it alone.
TJ: Uncle, I wish you would have listened to stella because now we have all lost our contact with him.
Curtis: But, T, you donāt get it. This was Marshallās choice.
TJ: No, no. You made a unilateral decision to protect us without our buy-in. That is your choice, and now we just ā we just have to live with it.
Terry: Tell me about your job at the gym.
Chet: Well, itās not saving lives like you are, but itās pretty cool watching people come in and work on themselves, getting stronger, surpassing expectations.
Terry: Must be so gratifying helping people achieve their personal goal.
Chet: It is.
Terry: [ Chuckles ]
Chet: Itās also a constant reminder for me to keep setting my own.
Terry: Whatās your biggest goal?
Chet: Right now, itās impressing you. How am I doing?
Amy: Who is dr. Randolph to dictate whether I can get a manicure or not?
Ava: It does seem like a bit of an overreach.
Amy: Or how to store patient files?
Nina: Well, that part seems to be in her purview.
Amy: Iām sick of it. Sheās singling me out. I deserve respect, too.
Nina: Yes! Well, how would Man Landers advise?
Amy: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I havenāt given professional advice in years.
Nina: No, but, Amy, you still have the insight, wisdom, and wit. Come on. What would Man Landers advise two women who were having friction at work?
Amy: Iād start by telling the innocent woman to get a drink. The stronger, the better. [ Chuckles ]
Ava: Nice try. But at least the woman sheās at odds with is at work. I wonder what Man Landers would advise when the conflict is at home.
Nina: Uh-oh. I have a feeling youāre speaking about yourself. What other woman do you have friction with?
Ava: Oh, sheās not a woman. No, no, no. This is a treacherous teenaged she-devil.
Rory: My saying that youāll beat those charges doesnāt undermine my objectivity as an officer of the law.
Trina: Of course not, Officer Cabrera.
Rory: I thought I told you you could call me Rory.
Trina: I thought that was only if I called you.
Rory: [ Chuckles ] I gotta run.
Josslyn: Leaving so soon?
Rory: Yeah. Iāll see you around.
Josslyn: Hm.
Trina: Oh, my God. Could you be more obvious?
Josslyn: I was just speeding things along. Itās pretty clear that you guys are into each other.
Trina: The guyās a cop, Joss. Heās friendly. But thatās as far as it goes.
Josslyn: Maybe I can ask Dante if heās single.
Trina: Donāt you dare.
Josslyn: Why not? Trina, there are worse people to crush on.
Trina: Like Spencer? Are you trying to hook me up with Rory to keep me away from Spencer?
Josslyn: āRory,ā huh? Look, I just want you to be with somebody whoās worthy of you, one who isnāt needy and selfish and entitled, one who is unattached and can reciprocate your feelings.
Trina: You donāt have to worry. I kicked Spencer and Esme out of the gallery just the other night.
Josslyn: What? Why were they even there?
Trina: Spencer was there to work on his restitution. And, of course, Esme followed him like a creepy, jealous parasite.
Valentin: Why are you asking about the day Nina gave birth?
Carly: Because it occurs to me that Phyllis may have a soft spot for Nina because she feels guilty about the role she played in giving Ninaās baby away.
Valentin: And you think guilt is the only thing that motivates loyalty?
Carly: Itās the way Nina motivated Harmony to talk to Michael and Willow about visitation with Wiley.
Valentin: And why did Harmony feel guilty where Nina was concerned?
Carly: Harmony felt guilty about many things. It makes sense that she would try to redeem herself any way she could.
Valentin: And why does Sonny feel guilty?
Carly: You got me there. Sonny spent months lying to me, so I have no idea why heās so fascinated with Nina. Maybe itās Stockholm Syndrome.
Esme: Hi! Cameron! Is, uh, Spence around?
Cameron: Uh, no. Actually, he, umā¦ our supplier forgot to get enough milk this morning, so I sent him on a grocery run.
Esme: Do you think itāll be long? Thereās something I canāt wait to tell him.
Cameron: I mean, itāll take as long as it takes, but would you like to order something in the meantime while you wait?
Esme: No. Thanks. Um, just tell him I came by and Iāll see him at home, okay?
Cameron: Oh! You knowā¦ hold up just a minute.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
Spencer: [ Exhales sharply ] Of course, it wonāt be that easy.
Josslyn: Well, maybe officer handsome can help us.
Trina: I think you know he can’t.
Josslyn: Why? Because heās all about truth and justice? Right? Well, Esme is all about lying and criminal behavior. And he has resources.
Trina: Okay, Iām going to stop you right there. Itās not fair to put Rory in that position.
Rory: Good night, ladies.
Trina: Iām not going to ask him to help. Esme has ruined enough lives as it is.
Joss: Okay, well, I donāt really feel like doing yoga anymore. So do you want to go get a milkshake?
Trina: Yeah. Sure. Letās get out of here.
Josslyn: I need something to take my mind off of everything thatās happened. I mean, Trina, youāve been arrested, Cam and I are on shaky ground, and this sex tape is gonna follow us around forever. I mean, what if future employers do an internet search on me and that pops up?
Trina: Whaā I thought that hacker guy took it off.
Josslyn: Yeah, but you never know.
Trina: I know what weāre up against. I just donāt know what to do about it exceptā¦ learn to live with it.
Josslyn: No. That is the last thing that we should do. Esme set us both up. She violated my privacy and she stole a very intimate moment of mine and framed you for it. Esme brought this fight to us, and now weāre gonna take it to her.
Trina: How?
Josslyn: She made a mistake. I donāt know what or when, but there has to be evidence out there that proves that sheās guilty, and weāre gonna find it. And when we do, Esme prince is going to prison where she belongs.
Cameron: Look, I think that we need to clear the air.
Esme: [ Sighs ] I donāt want to do this. I know that you and Joss believe Iām a terrible person.
Cameron: And I know I said thingsā¦ but you need to understand. Trina is Josslynās best friend, and Joss is my girlfriend.
Esme: I get it. Youāll always have Jossā back, even when sheās wrong. And I just wish I had a boyfriend who was as loyal as you are.
Cameron: W-what are you talking about? Youāre all Spencer thinks about.
Esme: Then why did he waffle on my innocence even after Trina made those crazy accusations that arenāt even true?
Cameron: This whole situation is complicated, a-and Spencerās been all over the place. I mean, he even went as far to accuse me, Trina, and Joss being in on it all together. Thatās why we got into that fight.
Esme: Really? Spence accused all of you? I-I mean, itās absolute rubbish. I know that you and Joss would never.
Cameron: Look, the point is that Spencerās got your back. Donāt turn away from him now. Donāt sweat it. Alright? This will all work out for the best.
Esme: You really believe that.
Cameron: Iām counting on it. For both my sake and Jossā.
Esme: Thanks. I just ā I feel so alone. I mean, Spenceās fatherās done his best to be a good host, butā¦ I miss having friends. Like you, Cam. I always felt you kept an open mind about me. Iām sorry we got off track.
Cameron: It doesnāt matter what anyone else thinks about you. I will always treat you in the way that you deserve, Esme.
Terry: Well, youāre no Tanner.
Chet: Oh, yeah.
Terry: [ Laughs ]
Chet: That mystic phony bragging about āvibrating at a higher frequencyā when he was reallyā¦
Terry: Just a broke, misogynistic blowhard.
Chet: Well, at least he set the bar low. It shouldnāt be too hard to surpass him.
Terry: Iāll give you my review on our second date. That is, if youāre gonnaā¦
Chet: My answer is an unequivocal yes to a second date.
Terry: Thanks for the save. This has been so much fun, it almost made me forget my morning.
Chet: Hard day at work?
Terry: Iāve had worse. Just a dustup with a colleague. I do not want to get into personal pettiness at G.H.
Chet: I thought you worked at Mercy?
Terry: Iāve been consulting at Mercy, but Iām on staff at G.H.
Chet: Oh, really? My sister works at G.H.
Terry: Small world!
Chet: Yeah, maybe you know her.
Nina: Donāt tell me Esme is acting inappropriately.
Ava: When is she ever appropriate? Sheās ingratiating herself with Nikolas. Nikolas is so desperate to seem like a hero in Spencerās eyes that heās ā heās blind to her manipulations. And I tell you what. Itās taking a toll.
Nina: Ohh. And ā and Nikolas doesnāt recognize how unhappy you are?
Ava: He does. He knows now, now that Iāve canceled our vow-renewal ceremony.
Nina: Oh. Iām sorry, Ava.
Ava: Ehh. Just never have a stepson. Although, you know, if ā if you were to ever marry Sonny, youād have two stepsons and youād have three stepdaughters. And I would love that. Can you just picture Carly having to pick up donna from you?
Nina: I think weāre getting a little ahead of ourselves.
Ava: Maybe you should. I mean, itās possible, right? And youāre going pretty hard on Michael and Willow. Someday they could be family, too.
Nina: I donāt care. Iām coming at Michael and Willow with everything I got.
Curtis: So, I thought Marshall was, uh ā I thought he was on the run from a dangerous criminal element.
TJ: So then he wasnāt?
Curtis: No. He never ran afoul of the mob. And he was never in witness protection.
TJ: Alright. So t-then what happened?
Curtis: He was arrested in a protest that got out of control. And instead of being sentenced to prison, the judge remanded him to a mental facility.
TJ: How long was he there? Whatās his diagnosis?
Curtis: The records I had access to didnāt say. And, you know, Marshall wasnāt about to tell me.
TJ: There is a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, and for a man Marshallās age, itās even worse. Uncle, itās no surprise he took off. He feels you violated his privacy.
Curtis: Hey. Iām not gonna apologize for trying to protect us.
TJ: And I am not asking you to apologize. I respect your choice. I just hope that you will respect mine.
Curtis: Which is?
TJ: Iām not ready to give up on Marshall. I intend to find him and bring him back.
Chet: I know G.H. Has tons of people, but you might know her.
Terry: A name would help. And while weāre at it, I suppose we should get around to our last names. Iām dr. Terry Randolph.
Chet: Yeah, we covered a lot of ground but skipped the basics. Dr. Randolph, Iām Chet Driscoll.
Terry: Driscoll. And your sister isā¦
Chet: Same last name. Amy Driscoll. Do you know her?

Spencer: This season. Last season. This season. Three seasons ago. Very unlike you, Esme. What do we have here?
Esme: It means so much that you wouldnāt turn your back on me. Thank you for being so kind. Iām just so glad youāre your own man.
Josslyn: No. Heās my man. And you have about five seconds to get your tentacles off of him.
Ava: If you go after Carlyās son, she will rip your throat out.
Nina: Well, heās still walking around, isnāt he? Heās still alive. She let my daughter fall to her death. She could have saved her. Sheās not gonna take away my grandson, too. I didnāt want this fight, Ava. But now that Iām in it, Iām gonna come out guns blazing. And Carly better hope to God that sheās not in the line of fire.
