THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Did you hear me?! Get your hand off my son! ♪♪ You touch my son again, they will never find your body! ♪♪ I’ve got Cyrus’ super in the box. Oh. Okay. Great. I-I’ll be right in. Thank you. Yeah. Detective Falconeri, you’re on leave. Yeah, I’m aware of that. Well, then what are you doing here? I think you know what I’m doing here. I’m not leaving till I get it. Does Mr. Renault keep strange hours? Not really. I mean… he’s kind of an odd guy, but he seems nice enough. Comes and goes. Keeps to himself. Does he have many visitors? Never. Oh, uh, except for last week. ♪♪ Huh. ♪♪ Lulu! Hey! Hey, Josslyn. Get over here. Ohh! Oh. How are you? I’m good. How are you? I am getting by. Uh, can I get you a menu? You want to eat something? ♪♪ You okay? Yeah. Sorry. I was just, um… taking this in. What? A Spencer behind the counter. Tonight’s our official first cousins’ night out. It’s long overdue. To many more. Mm. ♪♪ “Brown Dog Bar.” So, uh… This fine establishment is one of your usual haunts, huh? I’ve been known to drop in occasionally. And what is the occasion today? Oh, um, well, it’s… sort of a test. A test. What kind of test? To see if you’re as comfortable here as you are at the other exclusive places you frequent. Well, every place is exclusive in its own right. And it is never the location. It is the company. I know how charming Drew can be… and attentive and smart. Yes, he is all those things and more. Which is why what I’m about to say to you is not gonna be easy. Okay? I… Tracy: Oh, Willow! I understand you’re all settled in at your mother’s house. Yes, Tracy, I am at Nina’s with my children. How nice! All the better to commit adultery, my dear. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ That’s Jack Brennan, WSB Station Chief. Sound like they’re on a date to you? Because it looks like they’re on a date to me. Maybe. Um, speaking of dates, you’ve been in Port Charles for a while, and as far as I know, you haven’t been on one single date. I’ve been busy. Lucas, I think it is great you care about Carly’s love life, but I want to talk about yours. Why? There’s nothing to talk about. That’s kind of the point. Look, the Brad debacle was, like, years ago. Don’t you think it’s time to get back on that horse? Is it just me or is your brother giving me the stink eye ever since we sat down? [ Chuckles ] Probably. I think he would prefer that we don’t get any closer. I think everybody would. And in spite of these nearly universal warnings, you’re still here. Yeah. I make my own decisions. And you’ve done so much for me already. But what you did for me in Germany, you know, that’s on another level. Well, what I remember from Germany was you taking over Michael’s care under extremely stressful circumstances and then, uh, a trip to the spa. That’s all you remember? No. See right there? You don’t show that side to other people. [ Chuckles ] And, uh — And you think I should. No. I like that it’s all mine. Don’t blame me for moving out and taking my kids away from Monica and the family. That’s on you. Oh, no. It’s your unwillingness to keep Drew off the family property… and out of your bed that’s to blame. Enough! And while we’re on the subject, that ring you are wearing belonged to my mother, a woman you couldn’t hold a candle to on your best day! Take it off! Tracy! Our table is finally ready, and — and we don’t want them to give it away, so we sh– Now! There’s got to be something you can tell me. Of course. And as soon as I have something, you will be my first call. [ Sighs ] But until then, I-I… Yeah. Yeah. I got to let you handle it. And the sooner I get back to it… Right. Right. [ Door opens ] [ Anna muttering ] Did the super give you any leads? What? Yeah. It seems Cyrus had a visitor. A blond, Caucasian female. Early 20s. Josslyn Jax? She said she worked with him at Redemption Mission, so the super let her into his apartment. Okay. Bring her in. Do you want me to arrest her? No, no, no. I need to talk to her. I mean, first she accuses Cyrus of murder to his face, and now she’s trespassing in his apartment? Oh, my God. That girl is gonna get herself killed. I know a lot has changed, the name, for one, but I spent a lot of my childhood here. That sounds pretty great. It was. And whenever I’m here, I just imagine my dad and Aunt Bobbie sitting around telling stories about Aunt Ruby. Yeah. You know, after everybody goes home and it’s empty in here, I definitely feel closer to my grandma. It would mean the world to her and my dad to see you here. And it makes me wonder. Maybe I should have got a job here instead of at Deception, you know, be a part of the whole family-tradition thing. [ Chuckles ] Part of me always wanted to have that Kelly’s/Bobbie’s experience. Understood. Let’s go. I know he killed my mom! ♪♪ That was crazy. Well, Cyrus is crazy. He held me and my mom hostage at gunpoint, and then he shot my dad. If you want to leave, we can leave. No problem. Excuse me. Where are you going? Where — Martin: Cyrus! What the hell was that about? Jason Morgan’s a violent man. He tried to kill me before. Kai: Excuse me. I think it’s time that you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen. I-I get it. I promise you, we’re gonna be leaving. Yeah, you need to leave now. And I’ll take care of your tab. But you should go before there’s another incident. ♪♪ Come on, come on, come on. Just — Just — Just — Just go. Sit. I’m not here to have dinner with you! You and I have a few things to get straightened out. Thanks for trying to defend me. Again. As usual, Tracy was wrong about almost everything. Don’t let her get to you. It makes her too happy. It’s easier said than done. Everywhere I go, someone is either judging me or yelling at me. Well, then don’t listen to them, either. Eventually, all of this is going to pass. Maybe. But after a while, I have to wonder if the things people are saying about me are true. I mean, it’s getting really hard not to think of myself as a horrible person. The onion rings. Mmm! Oh, I have them every day. Every day. Hi. What’s going on? I need you to come with me to the station. Wait. Oh. Is she under arrest? It’s just to talk. For your protection. Um, well, I’m in the middle of the shift, and I’m the only server here right now. I could cover you until you get back. It’ll be my chance to have the Kelly’s/Bobbie’s experience. Really? Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. Here’s your apron. Thank you. Uh, one second. Okay. Seriously, thank you so much. I will not be long. Hopefully. I really appreciate you getting rid of Cyrus. Yeah. You were upset. Okay? There was no way I was just gonna let that guy hang around. But — But I just don’t get how he’s able to walk free after everything he did to you and your family. Emma: Well, he’s gone now, and there’s really nothing that we can do about him being free. But we can do something about animal cruelty, right? So can we get back to our event? Hey, Emma. Uh, could I talk to you for a second? I just need to run something by you real quick. ♪♪ You need to read the room. I was. Then you totally missed how upset Trina was. It was obvious she didn’t want to talk about your event right now. Well, maybe what Trina needs is — Maybe what you need is to be a little less self-involved so you can clue in to what other people are feeling. How did Danny know that Cyrus killed his mom? I mean, he lives at the Quartermaines’. Maybe he overheard Chase and Dante talking about the investigation? Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I can’t believe he confronted Cyrus. Wait, wait! Come on! Listen to me, Cyrus! Listen! I cannot say this strongly enough. Now, you have to file a complaint against Jason Morgan with the police. You got to do it right now. There’s no need for that. What do you mean, no need?! What is wrong with you?! Didn’t you see what happened in there?! Why am I more upset about this than you are?! Because I’ve had enough violence in my life! Now I’m choosing peace. And so should you, brother. ♪♪ Danny. Hold on, hold on. We need to talk about this. Do you know who Cyrus is? Do you know how dangerous he is? Then you know confronting him like that was reckless. I know I shouldn’t have gotten in his face like that, but I was — I was so mad. I-I just lost it. Okay. I understand. But you’re getting older, and it’s something that you’re gonna have to learn to control. Yeah, I know. Thank you for showing up when you did. How’d you know where I was? Rocco. Yeah, I was just — I just needed to know why he hurt my mom. [ Sighs ] That’s something we all need to know. I’m glad to see you home safe, Danny. Actually, Sasha, um… Can you stay? I think we should talk to Danny together. Thank you for your concern about my love life, but I’m not ready to date. No one’s ever really ready. And you’re the total package. You’re smart. successful, gorgeous. No criminal record to speak of. Mnh-mnh. No criminal record that you know of. [ Chuckles ] No, but seriously, I’m not even really thinking about dating. I had a family and one great love… but it ended. Lucas, you are not dead. You could have that again. I just don’t see that type of love or family now as something I was meant to have. Okay, well, then it’s a good thing I’m talking about just going to dinner with someone and not picking out china patterns. Yeah, but I have to meet somebody who I would want to do that with. Okay, well, I kind of already met someone I want to set you up with. He’s a model for Deception. Just think about it. I promise I’m not gonna push it. [ Chuckles ] Since when? It’s something new I’m trying. I’m not very optimistic about it. Okay. Well, let me ask you. Has anyone warned you about me? Of course. What?! [ Chuckles ] Who?! I want names. Uh, well, there may be a colleague who warned me I was getting a little too close to a civilian. Oh. Are you? Well, let’s just say that if there is something or someone that I want, there is very little that can stop me. [ Clears throat ] Carly? A word? ♪♪ Willow, you need to listen to me. You are a kind woman with a really good heart. You’re a loving mother and a wonderful nurse. I am also someone who left her husband for his uncle and managed to hurt quite a few people along the way. So? You made a mistake. Everyone has made mistakes. You need to promise me this — that you’re not gonna let any of these people change the way that you see yourself. You’re amazing. And I am so proud to be your mother. So I want you to hold your head up high. I will do my best. That’s my girl. You need to back off Drew and Willow. I was. I have. I was merely commenting on the fact that Willow has moved out of the gatehouse, and I asked her for my mother’s ring back. That’s not what I heard when I came over. I was… a little impassioned. Is that not allowed? No. Not even a little. Oh, come on, Alexis. This is a lot! I’m trying. Try harder. Much, much harder. Because with you acting impassioned, Drew and Willow won’t be able to relocate fast enough. And where Drew goes, my granddaughter goes. And Scout needs to be with her brothers, and I need my granddaughter with me. I want what’s left of my family to stay together with me. You’re right. Scout needs to be with her family, even if that family is you. But I am entitled to my feelings about Drew, and I am not gonna keep silent about them. Oh, yes, you are. Because you owe me. And I need to collect. Anna: Oh, great. Thank you, Josslyn. I really appreciate you taking the time to come in. I know how busy you are with school and your job at Bobbie’s. Well, I didn’t think I really had a choice. And now I hear that you’re volunteering at the Redemption Mission, yeah, with Cyrus. How’s that going? Kristina: Did Lucky ever tell you our dads used to run a club together? He did not. Yeah. That’s why working together feels like… Like things have come full circle? Yes. Right. Ah. That’s exactly it. Mm-hmm. He’s a great guy, and, you know, he’s super cool under pressure, which is great because I am not. [ Chuckles ] You should’ve seen me this afternoon. Sounds — Is “intriguing” the right word? I’m not so sure. What I am sure of, though, is I was seconds away from punching out my sister’s mother if Elizabeth hadn’t saved me. There you go. Thank you. Yeah. She saves a lot of people. ♪♪ Why did you almost start throwing punches? Uh, well, um, I… I have a lot of anger wrapped up in Ava. She’s, um — She caused the accident which made me lose my daughter. I heard about that. I’m very sorry for your loss. Thank you. Unh! I just met you, and I am totally, like, trauma dumping on you. I’m so sorry. No, no, no. Y-You’re totally fine. Any friend of Lucky’s is someone I want to know. I am not self-involved. Then why did you bring the conversation back to your event instead of focusing on Trina? She was obviously upset. Gio, I did it because she was upset. Okay? She very clearly did not want to relive the trauma of her hostage situation. I, uh — I didn’t think of that. No kidding. I was just trying to distract her. Yeah. I’m sorry. Y-You were trying to help Trina feel better, and I didn’t see it. It’s okay. Okay, well, now that that’s settled, why don’t you distract me from your rudeness… help me hand out some flyers? It’s the least I could do. It really is. ♪♪ How were you able to just sit there totally calm with that man across the room? I don’t want to be defined by the bad things that happened to me. Those things — Those things aren’t who I am. Well, I’m in awe of the person you are. First, Josslyn confronts Cyrus about Dex’s murder, and now Danny confronts him about Sam’s. We were getting so close to nailing him, and now… He knows that people are onto him. We might be farther away than ever. [ Panting ] Uh, the burger. And…primavera. Excuse me, miss, I think that burger is mine. And I’m a vegetarian. I ordered the pasta. I am so sorry. Um… And what about you? Still waiting on a menu. Right. Um, just one sec. Um… Here you are. Uh, burger. Thank you, everyone, for your patience. I’m so sorry. Don’t start. I am just filling in. Why — Why are you filling in at Bobbie’s? Because Josslyn was the only server here, and then Chase took her to the police station, and like an idiot, I volunteered. Whoa, whoa. Wait. Chase took Joss to the station? I don’t know. Just to talk. But she should be back any second. I hope. Do you need some help? No. No. No, thank you. I am fine. Okay. [ Bell dings ] Ooh, I’m gonna shove that dinger — Miss. I’m ready to order. Maybe just a little help. Coming right up. [ Lulu sighs ] So, there’s, uh, something Sasha and I need to talk to you about. You and Sasha? Yeah. You know she’s pregnant, right? Yeah. Wait. Are you the — No. Your dad is not the father of my baby. Oh. Thank God. I mean — Sorry. I didn’t mean that. No offense. None taken. So — So, what’s going on? Uh, so, um, a lot of people in this, uh, family and town have assumed that I am the father — and I’m not. But for now, for certain reasons, it’s just easier to let everybody believe that I am. Your dad is really helping me by doing this. And I did that on one condition — that you know the truth. So only the three of us know? That’s it. The three of us. And it’s got to stay that way. You understand? Yeah. Okay. Uh, I just have one question. Sure. Anything. Who’s the real dad? So, we heard from Cyrus’ super that he let a young, blond, early-20s girl into Cyrus’ apartment because she claimed to be working with him at the mission. Hm. Well, I’m not the only blonde in Port Charles. He identified a photo of you. Well, how good was this photo? And I’m sorry. What’s the crime? How can it be trespassing if this person was let in by the super? Well, it is. It’s — It’s criminal trespassing, to be exact. And fraud. You’re very smart, Josslyn. I didn’t think I would need to have to explain this to you, but apparently I do. This little game that you’re playing is extremely dangerous, and it could cost you your life! Ah, yes. How could I forget? You can’t. Because I won’t ever let you. Because you framed me for drunk driving. [ Chuckles ] Not my finest hour. The only reason you are not in prison is because I chose not to pursue it. So now I need you not to pursue Drew and Willow. Can I just write you a check? No! Okay. You showed me generosity when I didn’t deserve it. I can do the same. What form will this “generosity” take? I will keep my observations to myself and my passions in check. You know you really have to do it. You can’t just “try.” I know. I don’t want my lack of discipline to… cause you any more loss. Thank you. Is that it? We’re even? If you keep your promise, we are. There has been a silver lining in all of this. We’ve gotten closer. And for the first time in my life, I feel like I… truly have a mother. [ Exhales sharply ] I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I spent so much time pushing you away, but now I could not have gotten through any of this without… my mom. [ Exhales sharply ] ♪♪ [ Both chuckle ] Oh, I almost forgot. You were about to tell me something when Tracy showed up. What was it? Jack Brennan. Hi. I’m, uh — Frisco Jones’ daughter. Have a name. Mariah Maximiliana Jones. Maxie’s fine. And I suppose you’re here to read me the riot act for stealing your father’s job. No. No? No. I mean, yes, I do believe you screwed my dad out of a job, but we are gonna put a pin in that and circle back to it later ’cause I have something more important to discuss with you. I love that my brother is looking out for me. But you don’t have to worry. Jack has been good to me. Carly, it’s one thing for you to get involved with a Mob boss or a hitman or a reformed serial killer — Okay, I don’t really understand how Jack could be a step down from that. Because he will ruin your life. How? By lying. Look at me and Brad. Brad lied to me for years, and it destroyed my family and my relationship. Call me an optimist, but I don’t think Jack is gonna steal someone else’s baby and try and pass it off as our own. But he will lie to you. Constantly. It’s his literal job. Carly, you can’t get into a relationship based on lies. Okay, no one’s talking about a relationship here. We have just been flirting and made out a couple times. You know, it is one thing for you to lie to me, but, Carly, for your own good… don’t lie to yourself. If I wanted to experience the family business, it would’ve been nice if I inherited the necessary skills! Come on. I think — I think you’re doing pretty good. Ugh… [ Sighs ] [ Sniffing ] What? Just — It smells like something’s burning maybe. Oh. My toast! [ Laughs ] No!
Oh, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t do that. [ Chuckles ] Uh, sorry, everybody. Whew! How many pieces of toast were in there? [ Both laughing ] Where’s the cook, by the way? On a break! On a break? I told him I’d watch the toast! Well, you were watching the toast. I mean, you knew where it was. This is — This is a disaster. [ Both laughing ] No. Stop it. Stop laughing. What? This is — This is — This is bad. Okay. Ugh! [ Sniffs ] I think I have egg in my hair. [ Laughs ] I didn’t even serve eggs! You got ketchup on there, too. [ Both laughing ] Oh, no! This is bad! [ Laughs ] Ah… What? I haven’t — I haven’t laughed since Sam died. I’m sorry. No. There’s no need to be. I… I guess maybe it feels like if I’m laughing, I-I’m not grieving her and I’m moving away from her. And I don’t want to — I don’t want to move away from Sam. Sam would never want you to feel guilty about experiencing joy. She was a hell-raiser and an adventurer. When she was alive, she lived. Dante, you’ll always miss Sam, and part of you will always grieve her, but she wouldn’t want you to wallow in it forever. ♪♪ How did you end up running such a fine establishment? Well, I — I was actually managing it first. Uh, but then when my daughter died, my dad thought I could use the distraction and, y-you know… have somewhere to find a purpose again. And, uh I gotta say, it really helped. I think it’s great that you and your dad are so close. Yeah, he’s — he’s the best. I don’t know what I would do without him. The way that I see it is that I can’t control what other people do, but I can control how I react. And there was a couple of times in my life that I just carried a lot of fear around, and I would lose sleep worrying about what might happen. And that’s just not who I am anymore. I’m taking back control. Taking back control. Those are good words to live by. Cyrus might leave town before anybody gets a chance to — to bring him down. I mean, it’s the smart thing to do. And if he does that, any chance of getting justice for anybody goes with him. There’s got to be something we can do. I-I say we take whatever evidence we have to Anna, sooner rather than later, before it’s too late. All right. Let’s say that you’re right about Cyrus. I am right about Cyrus. Okay. Then you know how dangerous he is. Not only did you accuse him to his face of murder, but you now conned his super into getting into his apartment. Like I said, that could have been anyone. Okay, between the description that the super has now probably passed on to Cyrus and the story that you told him, you’ve now placed yourself directly in his crosshairs. If Cyrus thinks he’s free and clear, he might not come after you. But if he suspects that we’re closing in on him, then he’s gonna feel cornered, and that is when he is dangerous! Okay. Um, should I go or should I call Diane? Call Diane. I’m arresting you for trespassing. For your own damn good. Commissioner, before you arrest her, can I talk to her? Anna: Yes! Danny, I can tell you anything you want to know, except who the father is. I have to respect his privacy. The less you know, the better. Y-Yeah. I mean, I get it. Yeah. But I told the father, and he supports my raising it alone completely. I didn’t keep anything from him. Yeah. Okay. Okay? You good? You sure? Yeah. I mean… this is never a conversation I thought I’d have, but what you’re doing is so brave. It’s great that you’re helping a friend out, Dad. That’s what Mom always did. I got great parents. I’m lucky. You really are. And, anyway, I should go find Rocco and thank him for helping you find me. ♪♪ Thank you for — for helping me with Danny. I’m sure he understood better hearing it from you. Don’t thank me. You are the one doing me a huge favor. Well, I gotta get going. Uh, Jason, wait. If you are on your way to see Cyrus, don’t. That is the worst thing you can do for your son. It’s nothing. I think I know what it was. Yeah? The way you were talking about Drew. I think you’re finally seeing him the way I do. Wow. Yeah. That’s — That’s it. Exactly. Thank you. For everything. For trying with Drew, for opening your home to me and the kids. You don’t have to thank me. You’re my family. So were the Quartermaines and the Corinthoses. And now they hate me. And it’s made me realize that I need to trust the people who have proven that they still care about me, who have stayed by my side, like you. Always. I’ve also learned that I need to stop letting my emotions cloud my judgment. So I give you my blessing to reach out to Martin to look for dirt on Michael. Drew and Willow have alienated practically everybody in town, and you may have gotten me to step back, but you can’t silence everybody. I’ll have to figure out something else. I admire your resolve. And whatever you figure out, it is not gonna bode well for Willow and Drew. ♪♪ I’m not the biggest WSB fan. I mean, my dad chose that life over us, and it cost him his family. Well, I’m sorry you feel — Still talking. Clearly you want this life, though, so if you’re looking to just “have some fun” before you’re inevitably transferred, stay away from Carly. I don’t see how this is any of your concern. Well, it’s not, but I know Carly’s been through a lot lately. I’m aware. Great. Then you’ll take me seriously. Because if there’s one thing you and “Frisco Jones’ daughter” know all too well, it’s that it’s not fair for you to get involved with anyone, especially Carly, when you know your job won’t allow it. My drink’s on his tab. We can’t shut ourselves off because we’ve been hurt. And we can’t let the “what-ifs” scare us into hiding. Because then we miss out on all this amazing life to live. And I’m reminded over and over again that life is short. So what you’re saying is that I shouldn’t worry about my future relationships being as big of a disaster as my marriage to Brad was. Mm-hmm. Not just yours, but mine, too. Okay? Ha! Seriously. Let’s wait for some big disaster to happen, and then we can panic together. Hm. Fine. Thank you. [ Laughs ] ♪♪ I am now ready for that date. Please set it up. Okay. What did Maxie say? Oh. Some nonsense about Frisco Jones. So what about your test? Oh. You passed. ♪♪ Hey! It’s the violin player from the Quartermaines’. In the flesh. I’m Lulu. Dante: Hey! Gio! Emma. What’s going on? Hey. Uh, we were wondering if it was cool to pass out these flyers to stop animal testing. I don’t actually work here, so knock yourselves out. [ Laughs ] Thanks. Hey, am I forgiven yet? Oh, yeah. I forgave you a while ago. Can’t really stay mad at you when you bat those great eyelashes at me. What are you talking about? Oh, wow. You have really great eyelashes, too, Dante. [ Laughs ] Uh, thank you, I guess. I’ve never been complimented on my eyelashes before. How about you? Uh, no. Oh. Okay. Well, I guess it’s just us, then. Well, one, we’re Italian, right? And, two, handsome runs rampant in the old neighborhood. Commissioner, I want to talk to somebody right away. I want to file a complaint against Jason Morgan. Oh, for Pete’s sake. What is it this time? He threatened to kill my brother in a crowded bar. Calm down. Let’s just hear — No. With all due respect, I think I should talk to somebody else ’cause I am sick and tired of watching you go to any length you have to to protect Jason! Makes me wonder how long it’s gonna be before you’re literally his accomplice. Look. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I know how much you loved Dex. I cared for him, too. I know. If Cyrus is responsible, we are going to make him pay. When? As soon as possible. But Cyrus is dangerous. And you know Dex wouldn’t want you to put yourself in harm’s way. I need to do better than that by him. So please stop putting yourself in danger and let us handle it.
Excuse me. I saw how Danny looks at you. He idolizes you. If you kill Cyrus, you’re throwing that all away. You know that, right? I appreciate your concern. Look. I can’t stop you, obviously. But before you leave, ask yourself what’s more important — revenge or your son’s love and respect? ♪♪ [ Soft music playing ] Did you put this on? I — I did not. I swear. Ohh. And I believe you. I swear. [ Chuckles ] But since we were so rudely interrupted the other day, what do you say we, uh, finish that dance? ♪♪ Come on. ♪ Hold me ♪ ♪ In your arms ♪ ♪♪ ♪ Everything fades ♪ ♪ But you and me ♪ [ Ominous music plays ] ♪♪ ♪♪
