THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, Mom. Hey, Mom. Hi. Do you want to join us? Uh, well, she’s calling the shots, you know. And I have to talk to Dad about something, so, uh, we’re just gonna — But good to see you. [ Soft music playing ] What do you think that’s about? Your guess is as good as mine. How about your guess on Cyrus Renault? You mean who disappeared him? My guess is Jason. And it is so frustrating to me because I begged him not to do it. For his sake and Danny’s. Especially Danny’s. He just lost his mother. Does he need to lose his father, too? I’m actually picking him up in a little bit. I’m gonna take him to see a movie. Oh, honey, that’s sweet. Thank you. Yeah. I’ll do a subtle check-in or as subtle as I can be. Just see how he’s holding up in the wake of everything. How you doing, honey, anyway? It seems like we jump from one disaster to another since Sam died. Before then. Do you think life’s ever going to feel normal again? Not likely.

Oh, good. I need a doctor’s expertise. Is it — Is it possible to die of boredom? It’s rare, but it’s great to see that you’re recovering nicely. Yeah, well, I’m good, but I have a favor to ask. Name it. Get me out of here.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Woman: Oh, can you hold the door, please? Thank you.

So how are things at Deception?

None of your damn business.

No need to be hostile or concerned. I have no intention of telling your coworkers that we were married once. Your secret is safe with me.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in. Hey. How’s Michael? Slow and steady, but he’s moving in the right direction. Thank you for asking. Uh… What’s going on? I need your help. Okay. With what? Rescuing Sasha from the Quartermaines’. [ Sighs ]

Ooh.

You okay? Mm. Your mother is driving me crazy! I’m not sure how much more I can take.

All I wanted was a cup of coffee. Not a face full of their drama. Well, we’re not going to let them drive us out of here. Besides, it could be fun. You alright? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I’m not going to let Ava distract me from what we came here to discuss. You gonna let me in on it? Yes. Uh, we need to talk about your living situation, Dad. Hey, Molls. Hi, Dad. Alexis. Good morning. Ms. Jones. How lovely to see you again. Ladies. If you’ll excuse me, I don’t want to keep my breakfast companion waiting. So, did you get this SOS from Lucy? I did many, many, many times. Do you know what this is about? No. Uh, we’re gonna find out. Uh, any chance you got Jason to admit he’s the father of Sasha’s baby? Olivia. Oh, don’t act like you’re above it. I’m not above it. Jason hasn’t said anything to me yet, and Sonny and I promised each other we wouldn’t pry. I would have thought you would be all over this. If Jason wants or needs me to know, he will tell me. Until then, I’m going to stay out of it. Mm. Wow. That is some really serious personal growth. Don’t give me that much credit. Sonny talked me into it, and I hate to admit it, but he’s right. Well, I think it’s great. And it’s exactly why my plan is going to work. The Quartermaines are really suffocating Sasha? Carly, I’m just afraid they’re going to become so intrusive that Sasha is going to bolt, and then we’ll never see her or that little baby ever again. I adore Monica, and I know that she means well. But she’s — She’s driving you crazy. The whole family is. It’s like I have no independence. And I would really like to think that that’s all in my head. But look at Willow. I mean, I’m not condoning what she’s done or her relationship with Drew, but the Quartermaines are really relentless in trying to bring those kids back into the fold. Her kids. Well, they’re Michael’s kids, too. You know what I mean. I don’t ever want to be in Willow’s position — having your family calling the shots on how I live my life, how my children live their lives, what doctors they see, what schools they go to, what sweaters they wear. Sweaters? [ Sighs ] From Monica. Green because we don’t know the sex yet. Alright, I’ll, uh, I’ll talk to Monica. No, I don’t need you to. From the day I found out that I was pregnant, I have been prepared and wanting to be a single mom. I want to do this on my own and figure it all out because I know that I will. I don’t doubt that. And I respect your boundaries. Do you? Yes, I do, but sometimes life is unpredictable, you know? Stuff comes out of nowhere all the time. And if that’s the case, you might need some support. And that’s you? Yes. I’ve made that commitment. I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. I’m not going to tell you how to raise your kid. But I’m going to be here to make sure you and the baby are okay. And one of the things I can always offer, if necessary, is money. I’m not your doctor, therefore I can’t sign you out. If I were you, I’d just wait it out. I’m sure your paperwork will come through soon. Besides, it may not be the worst thing in the world to just give yourself a minute to recover. Come on, man. I mean, you’ve seen me in way worse shape than this. Eh, true. But all those other times, you were never at death’s door. This time you weren’t just knocking. You were halfway through. How’s the house hunting going? Uh, it’s — it’s on the back burner for now. Dad. No. I’m busy, Kristina. What do you want me to do? I know you’re busy. Okay, I get it. But you need to prioritize this. You need to prioritize getting a home for Donna and Avery. Everything good? Yeah. You know, busy as usual. You? Can’t complain. I’ll, uh, I’ll call you later, okay? Okay. Enjoy your breakfast. You, too. Well, that went okay. How badly did you want to suggest that he leave? So badly. [ Both chuckle ] But you were afraid. Maybe this is the new laid-back me. Yeah. I always wanted to know what it would be like if one of us were laid back. Well, laid-back Molly is super chill. Doesn’t try to control anybody’s emotions or lives. Mol, you’ve been like this since you were a little girl. Yeah. But now I have to focus my energies where they can do the most good. On Danny and Scout, first and foremost. Well, I love that. Do me a favor. Just make sure that you save some of that energy for yourself. [ Mugs clank ] Here’s to an equitable custody arrangement, the way it should have been all along. Yes. And you know, he may not admit it, but I think Sonny is happy about it, too. And relieved that it’s over and we now have common-sense boundaries. Mm. I wouldn’t press your luck on that front if I were you. There’s no luck to press. What? Really? Oh, okay. No, Sonny and I, we are in a very good place right now. Oh. Alright, watch and I’ll show you. Donna and Avery need their own bedrooms. Good morning.

There was a moment where it could have gone either way. [ Monitor beeping ] It’s ironic, isn’t it? All the talking I did about staying or going. In Port Charles, you mean? Yeah. Turns out the real decision to stay was whether my heart would keep beating or not. And you decided it would? Well, someone did. I mean, with your help, obviously. Did it actually feel that way? Like you were in control of the situation? Well, you and I have both seen enough death to know that most of the time, there’s — there is no choice. But there was this strange, overwhelming feeling that I’m not done yet, that there’s too much here. People I love — my son who I want to see grow up, my mom, my sister. Anyone else? Elizabeth. [ Laughs ] You’re a lucky man. She is a remarkable woman. I assume your plan keeps Sasha in town somehow? Oh, yeah. I was thinking maybe we give her a job at the Metro Court. You know, start her out in the kitchen, move her to the front of the house when her due date gets a little bit closer. Maybe even, uh, comp a room to make life a little bit easier. I like it. Yeah, I’m in. Yeah. Oh, I’m glad that you are on board with my plan. I was just about to go extend the offer to Sasha, but obviously wanted to run it past you first. It’s great. [ Cellphone chimes ] Of course. What? What’s going on? One of the parents that was supposed to chaperone Leo’s field trip has dropped out. And guess who’s first on the reserve list. Oh, go. Are you sure? Yes. Yes, I can talk to Sasha.

Seriously?

Seriously. Go. [ Groans ] [ Laughs ] So no baby stuff? No baby daddy stuff? No. Hey, enjoy the field trip. Where are you going, anyway? The Port Charles Historical Society. Oh. Mm-hmm. Well, that will be interesting. [ Scoffs ] [ Laughs ] From your lips. You know, if I had run a con on you and it had worked, I would be fine taking your money. I never understood that about my mom. But now I do, because she earned that money. She swindled it fair and square. So if I — If I give you the money, then it would be charity. Which I hate because the charitable person can decide at any point to take away that charity for whatever reason. It’s their money, so they’re in charge. Oh, I get it. You want to be the one calling the shots? And I don’t know, Jason, for all your laid-back vibes and your “do your own thing” persona, I think you’re someone who wants to be in charge, too. You’re stealthy about it, but at the end of the day, you always get your own way. Not this time. Not with me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to work. I understand that Cyrus Renault has gone missing and that foul play is suspected. The PCPD Is still trying to figure out what happened. You were quoted in The Invader article I read. Um, I was aware that you were once police commissioner, but I didn’t realize that Mr. Renault was such a problem during your tenure. Yeah, well, “problem” is putting it mildly. So how does it feel to have Renault seemingly no longer around? Well, I’m relieved he can no longer hurt anyone, but it’s not the way I wanted it to happen. No? For someone to play God and do him in because they felt like it, I don’t get any satisfaction from that. Remember the trouble we had with our zincite dealer in Helsinki? Yeah, they didn’t get their payment on time. But Brook Lynn took care of that. Yeah, I thought so too. But I just got word this morning guess what. Didn’t happen. And that payment debacle, They turned around and sold our zincite to… Please don’t say it. Enchantment. No, no, no, no. We need that zincite. It is the key ingredient in the new overnight wrinkle cream. Look, if Enchantment drops their product before ours hits the shelves, we’re gonna look like we’re selling a cheap knock-off. So we need a new mineral connection right now. But zincite is a rare mineral. It’s going to be almost impossible to find a new supplier in, like, that short of time. No. No, no, no, no, no. I know that look. Well, I just happen to know someone who works in rare minerals. Well, as much as I love discussing the criminal justice system with you, I don’t believe that’s why you asked me for this meeting. No. I wanted to discuss the Esplanade. Mm. I figured as much. I’m waiting for confirmation from the mayor’s office about the site being moved to the new location, but so far, nothing. Mayor Collins feels Port Charles is better served keeping the Esplanade in its original location. This wouldn’t have anything to do with the mayor’s personal relationship with Sonny Corinthos, would it? I am so, so, so very sorry to interrupt, but, Jenz, my very, very dear friend Jenz, the Deception team and I have a business opportunity for you. And I just thought, you know, you — you happen to be here, and we happen to be here so… Go. We can pick this up at a later date. Are you sure? Because you and I had an appointment, whereas Miss Coe and I are… Well, I actually have another meeting to get to, so it’s fine. Good luck. So, Lucy, am I going to need luck for this? Oh, hey, the coffee machine at the stables is busted. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here. It’s fine. Are you sure? I can take off. You do whatever you want, but don’t leave on my account. That’s a novel concept, right? Doing whatever you want. Rough day? Just so sick of the Quartermaines breathing down my neck. It’s like this baby gives them an all-access pass. Look, I’m — I’m really sorry again, Sasha. I know this is all my fault. No, no. I mean, it is your fault that they found out how and when they did. But it wasn’t realistic to think that I could hide it. I may have been engaged in more than a little wishful thinking. Does that mean we’re… You apologized, I accepted. We’re all good. I’m sorry to intrude. I just wanted to confirm Tuesday’s exchange. I’ll be picking Avery up at Carly’s at 3:30, right? Sounds good. Okay. Oh, and you know about her recital, right? Yeah, I got the e-mail. Good. She tried on her costume the other night. She is just adorable. You will melt when you see her. Wow. Must be so nice to spend all that time with your daughter out in the world instead of in the cemetery where I visit mine because you killed her. I’m sorry you still feel that way, Kristina. Um, still? That I still feel that way? I’m going to feel that way forever. And what exactly are you sorry about, Ava? Are you sorry that I’m never going to get to go to my daughter’s dance recital? Or are you sorry that my daughter is dead because you killed her and got away with it, you conniving bitch? Okay, okay. That’s enough. No, it’s not enough! She has her daughter and I don’t have mine! Alright, look, you have, much like your father, the loosest acquaintance with the law, so let me outline some basics here for you. Watch it, Ric! When a jury acquits somebody of a crime, they are free. I am painfully aware of that. Oh, good. Then you don’t need a lawyer. But you definitely need a therapist because you seem incapable of accepting the reality that literally everybody else has. Kristina, you tripped and fell. You, okay? After you went to Ava’s uninvited, you bulldozed your way into her hotel room and you forced an altercation. So either it was a tragic, terrible accident, or you caused it. But the person who caused nothing here is Ava. You weren’t there, Ric! You know what your anger is more about? Your guilt about what happened to that child. My child! She was my child! No, Molly’s child actually! Back off! Back off now, Ric! You know, your daughter, much like you, seems to think that her feelings at any given moment are the most important things in the entire world. She is self-indulgent, self-involved, self-centered. Stop it! Shut up! Excuse me? Both of you walk away. Why would you engage with him? He’s a — He’s a horrible, petty person who can’t be reasoned with. Oh, excuse me, Alexis, I came over here to have a perfectly reasonable conversation, and it’s Kristina who spun out with her inappropriate — Oh, I will show you inappropriate. That’s it! That might be something you want to take up with that therapist. Oh, go to hell, Ric. Oh, not today. I’m just going to go back to our table. Come on. Come on. Thanks for the inter– I was going to punch him, but then he’d sue me. So what’s the point? Are you alright? Yeah, I-I just — I gotta — I can’t be here. I gotta go. I’ll walk you out, baby.

Thank you, Mom. Yeah. Anytime. Hopefully never again. Ric: Oh, what a surprise. Molly’s gone. Did you even notice? She probably left because she didn’t want to watch you be an ass. Oh, come on, Alexis, you know better than that.

I just came from a meeting with Sidwell. Words I definitely did not want to hear. Yeah. Uh, it was, uh, unsettling. Yeah, of course it was unsettling. Sidwell is as dangerous as they come. And not just because he’s some ogre or sadist. He’s not interested in gratuitous cruelty or — or torturing people for sport. He’s interested in making money. And if you get in the way of that, he will get rid of you. He won’t. Why? Because you say so? Because I know what I’m doing. With all due respect — and you truly have mine — you are beautiful and smart and compelling and all the things to make any guy fall for and trust you. But he’s not just any guy. Meaning? Meaning this may not be the easy undercover assignment that you’re envisioning. As a matter of fact, I can guarantee you it won’t be. I need to get out of here. I’m meeting Olivia at the Metro Court. Okay. Can I — Can I say one thing? Sure, sure. Just make it quick. Got it. Um, so the Quartermaines, they’re — They’re crazy. [ Chuckles ] We know that. And they have the uncanny ability of getting on a person’s last nerve. But I do think they care deep down and sometimes right on the surface. I do think they care, too. But there’s a fine line between caring and controlling. And I refuse to let them control me. Yeah, you go, cuz. Yeah. No, no, that was too soon. Got it. That was — felt gross coming out. I almost choked on it. See you later. Yeah, yeah. See ya. [ Both chuckle ] Are you okay? Yeah. Why? You seemed a little off in the elevator. Well, you know, I’m — I’m pretty concerned about this Sidwell guy. I did some research on him. And? Well, and I — I think we would really regret working with him. Ta-da! The answer to our prayers. I understand Deception is willing to do business with me after all. Molly. What’s up? Hi. Hi. Uh, I’m just taking Danny to a movie. Very cool. But I do think I did just see him take off on his bike like five minutes ago. Yes. He texted. He’s got to get a textbook from a friend’s house. I was just gonna wait here till he gets back. Cool. Coffee? No. I’m good. Thanks. Um, well, how are you? I haven’t seen you since our trip to the roof. Do you think they’ve fixed that lock up there yet? Certainly not. [ Chuckles ] Uh, is it sad to say that I would rather spend a week back up on that roof than a minute where I just was? Yeah. Where were you? Um, sorry. No, I don’t need to be whining about my life to you. No, no, you don’t need to. But I really want you to. And if you’re going to whine, could you put some muscle into it? I want you to try and hit those high notes that only dogs can hear. Oh, yeah, I would, but, um, there’s really not that much to it. I mean, my parents can’t stand each other. I’ve known that my whole life, and there’s really nothing to be done about it, so. Yeah, but it hurts like hell to see it play out, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever tell them? Tell them that their actions are actively hurting me and risk them feeling bad about it? God, no. [ Both chuckle ] Yeah, I got you. Um, one of the reasons I waited so long to tell Mac that he was my dad was because I didn’t want him to be disappointed in me. I felt like it was my job to manage his feelings. I am queen of that. [ Laughs ] Well, I guess I’m the king. Yeah, the way I figured it, uh, as long as Mac didn’t know that I was his son, then he couldn’t have any negative feelings about any of it, right? Couldn’t have any positive ones either. Yes. Yes, exactly. It would have been great if I could have figured that out in the beginning. Aha. That’s not my way. [ Laughs ] So what happened? I — Yeah, I finally told him, and it’s — it’s been amazing. There have been some hiccups. There always are. But it did teach me that being a part of a family means being aware of, like, everyone’s feelings. But on the flip side, they need to tune in to your feelings too. I’m very relieved you’re okay and I’m so grateful for you and Elizabeth. Because of you, now we know who killed Sam and why. As sick as it is. Have you, um, have you heard anything? I mean, have they been able to find Cyrus? No, I don’t — I don’t think they ever will. [ Monitor beeping ] Jason? He’s Sam’s ex and Danny’s father. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Does that, uh, does that bother you? As long as he gets away with it and Danny doesn’t lose another parent? No, I mean, my mom thinks it’s a horrible idea for Danny, but personally, I think… I think it’s a lot better than trusting the system and waiting and then just watching his mother’s killer walk free. Good to see you’re not at the PCPD. What happened? They arrested me for Cyrus’s disappearance. They had physical evidence. You didn’t do it? I told you I didn’t do it. Well, you had an alibi? I did. I was with Drew the whole time, like, when this whole Cyrus thing went down. I was with Drew, but he denied it. He told the cops that I was lying. Son of a bitch! Yeah. So whoever killed Cyrus planted hair at the scene. My hair. Well, maybe they weren’t trying to frame you. Maybe they were just trying to avert suspicion. I mean, you are a likely suspect. Okay, we need to get into another issue. Sidwell and Drew have teamed up. They want to take the pier. What? Drew is driving it. Sidwell is right there. And if Drew doesn’t get the pier through eminent domain, he’s going to go through Congress because he has connections there. If that doesn’t work, all bets are off. Well, look, I don’t see Drew getting violent on this. Well, Sidwell can. Right? I mean, yeah, like he did with maybe the fire at your penthouse. He had means. He had motive. Okay, but Anna told me that the device Sidwell used at the warehouse was not the same device that was used at the penthouse. He could have used two separate devices. Yeah, I agree, but I don’t know. I just don’t — I don’t buy it, man. I don’t buy it. Yeah, I don’t buy it either. I mean, if Sidwell’s first step is to try to kill me, why would he go through legal channels? Anybody who’s smart would know you would do that in reverse. And Sidwell doesn’t seem like a stupid guy. No. But the timing is suspect. I mean, Sidwell comes to town the same day your penthouse goes up in flames. I don’t know. I don’t like coincidences. This isn’t adding up. I do indeed have access to the zincite you need. But Enchantment Cosmetics has made me a very compelling offer. Well, Erica Kane does not need your zincite because she already has ours. And we will pay more than she’s paying. You name it. Lucy. Shh, shh, shh, shh. To break my deal with Miss Kane would require much more than meeting their price. I want 5% of Deception. Okay. Alright. Let’s all just take a minute here. Um, after you left the meeting the other day. Lulu had some things to say about Mr. Sidwell. Oh. Well, I heard what Lulu had to say, and I really don’t need any more details. What I need is zincite. He’s got it. So you know what? Let’s keep our eye on the prize. Yeah, I understand. I’m just not sure this is the prize. Just think about it. If we could get our cream out way before Enchantment does, that is a game changer. Look at this. How rare is it that we have the right person in the right place at the right time? Come on. I’m just saying, if Lulu were here, she would not be on board with this. Lulu is our assistant. She has no stock in Deception. Look, I deal in dozens of minerals that are essential to cosmetic products. As an asset, I’m worth far more than 5%. [ Scoffs ] Oh. Hey there. I know you were supposed to meet Olivia. I can’t believe it. But I — What? What are you doing sitting down with this guy? Uh, you know, um, Maxie told us what Lulu had to say, and even more, and obviously that Lucky has some sort of issues with this gentleman. But why should that stop us from doing business with him? He kidnapped me and held me in a room with a bomb in it. This is not a guy you want to be doing business with. Trust me. I know I can’t change the way my parents feel about each other. Sometimes I just feel like they’re judging me for loving the other one when they can’t stand them. That’s not right. No one should feel ashamed for loving their mom or dad. Maybe one day I’ll work up the courage to say exactly that. [ Cellphone rings ] Sorry. It’s okay. My mom. Her ears must be burning. Ah, now’s your chance. Tell her. Hi, Mom. You disappeared from Bobbie’s. Are you okay? [ Mouthing ] Uh, yeah. I just — I had to go and pick up Danny. Oh, that’s right, I forgot. Give him a hug for me, okay? Will do. Love you. I love you, too, honey. It’s a process. Mm-hmm. What did you mean when you said Alexis knew better? Mm. Just that she’s the one who drove Molly off. Pretty much since Molly was born, Alexis has noticeably and consistently favored Kristina over Molly. Why do you think? Oh, honestly, I think it’s as simple as I, who she absolutely despises, am Molly’s father, and Sonny, who she seems to think the sun rose and set on is Kristina’s. But you know what? No matter what the reason, Alexis has chased after Kristina her entire life to clean up her messes, and every once in a while, she’ll deign to remember she has another daughter. Poor Molly. She has to trip over herself just being grateful for all of the attention that she may get from her mother. Alexis certainly is an equal opportunity offender, isn’t she? Yes. As she stands over her lofty perch, gazing down at us of her moral superiority. Yeah, right? I mean, after favoring one daughter over the other and treating you in such a vile manner, she has the audacity to get up on her high horse and start trotting around. Right? Alexis Davis, attorney at law, defender of justice. Yes, yes, yes. And after all the transgressions that she’s made. Exactly, like helping the Cassadines rob me of money that is rightfully mine, while I am sentenced to a lifetime in a shoe box. Yeah, well, you know what they say about being at the top. No place to go but down.

He kidnapped you?

And held me at gunpoint. Yeah, and I was standing right there when it happened. Deal with this man at your own risk.

Huh. For all their colorful accusations against me, you’ll notice there are no pending charges against me, no investigations, no arrests made. So you’re saying that they’re lying? I’m saying that all events are subject to interpretation. Let’s just get back to the issue at hand, shall we? How much zincite do you have? Are you seriously still considering this? Well… Natalia, what — what do you actually think? [ Sighs ] We need the zincite, and being first to market would have a… a profound financial effect on the company. Well, okay. See, see? I’m going to let you think my offer over, but you should know it won’t be on the table for very long. [ Scoffs ]

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. You know, I’m realizing I never officially thanked you for going to the WSB when I was kidnapped. I might not be here right now if you hadn’t. I’m so happy I could help. So, why did Olivia want to meet with me? Well, it’s about the baby. Carly, I’ll tell you what I’ve told everyone else. I’m not discussing my child with you. No, it’s not like that. It’s not like that. Olivia knows that you’ve been having a pretty tough time at the Quartermaines’. Oh. And she thought, and I agreed that well, maybe you could use a change of scenery. How so? Well, instead of dealing with the Quartermaines every day, you could work here instead. Sidwell or not, somebody burns your penthouse down, almost killed Michael to get to you, which makes me even more uneasy about the trouble that we’re having securing this suite. Have you spoken to Kristina? No. Why? Because I spoke to her earlier. She lectured me. Um… Look, the — the issue is security. But the most important thing is Donna and Avery. They can’t stay here. They need a home. Okay. You want me to start looking? No. I’m going to make a call that I don’t want to make. First of all, thank you for the compliment. I’m pretty sure there were three compliments, and they were all true. Second of all, I’m not sure you have a true appreciation for undercover work. Or at least the kind that I do. Jordan, are you doing this to prove that you’re more than just the deputy mayor? Or do you just miss your undercover days? I’m not trying to prove anything, but if someone winds up dead because of Sidwell and I could have done something to stop it from happening, I’m not okay with that. And I’d rather do anything I could, even if it was a little risky, to get him out of the way first. You’ll at least sleep better at night. Well, I’m gonna need that beauty rest. If I’m gonna deserve all those compliments. [ Laughs ] Look, I’m doing this for me. It sounds like you’re going to be pretty busy. Do you think you’ll have any time for a little fun? What kind of fun? I don’t know. Um… Maybe we could work that out together. Do you think I’m wrong about the whole Cyrus-Jason situation? I don’t know. I mean, look… [ Sighs ] When — When you take things into your own hands, you’re acting solely on the information that you have. And I’m not — I’m not saying that it’s wrong in every circumstance, but I’m — I don’t want to be responsible for ending someone’s life because it’s what I want or what I desire because at the end of the day, I mean, it’s basically exactly what Cyrus did. It sounds like you haven’t had the legal system fail you in the same way that it’s failed me. You haven’t had to watch Ava Jerome swanning around Bobbie’s with this satisfied smirk on her face, acting like she has some sort of right to be there when she has put three people in the ground and one of them is my daughter.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. I didn’t expect to see you here today. I figured you’d take some time off after everything you’ve been through. My shift just ended. And I have three kids. I can’t afford to take time off. Besides, being here keeps my mind off of everything else. Like Cyrus attacking Lucky. [ Monitor beeping ]

Hey, Lesley Lu. Lulu: Thank God you’re awake. We’ve all been so worried about you. Trying to steal my gig? Being unconscious in hospital beds is kind of my thing. You know me. Can’t let my little sister steal the spotlight for too long.Oh, there he is. Didn’t know if you were gonna show up. I’m almost done with my set here. I’m sorry I’m late. I’ll tell you why in a minute, but right now, I just need to hit something. Did I hear you correctly? Did you say that Chase wants Finn to be the sperm donor? Yes. Chase just sprung this on me, and I could tell it’s what he really, really wants. That way, the child would have a little bit of him and a little bit of me. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Right? I know, and it’s not even like I can argue with his logic. I mean, the baby would have some Chase genes. That’s true. Ma, I haven’t seen Chase this optimistic since he found out he was sterile. But when he told me, I was shocked, and I-I didn’t give him the reaction that he was hoping for. He said he was fine, but I could tell he was upset. He practically ran out of here. Alright, well, maybe he just needed some time alone to think. I hope so. Because as much as I want to have a baby, I want to have Chase’s baby, not his brother’s. Sweetie. Why am I here? Uh… Well, because we have a problem. And his name is Jenz Sidwell. Hello, hello. Hello. Thank you so much for meeting me here. Well, it is my pleasure, but I am so, so sorry. You know, I had such a busy, long, tiring day, I just — I didn’t have much chance to freshen up before you came. I can assure you, you look as ravishing as always. Well, thank you. You’re making me blush. Of course, in this lighting, you can’t really tell, can you? I have a confession to make. Hmm. I have an ulterior motive for inviting you here this evening. Hey. Sorry that I was late. It’s fine. Gave me a chance to send a few work e-mails. Sweetheart, you have something on your cheek. That cheek. Oh, do I? Did I get it? Yeah, it’s gone. Okay. Was that paint? I didn’t know you were taking a painting class this semester. Uh, no, I-I’m not. Um, it must have happened when I was with Kai.

So, what kind of trouble have you been stirring up? I took the liberty of pouring you some scotch. I don’t like to conduct business this late without a beverage. Much obliged. I should probably try to drink it before you throw it in my face. As if I would waste scotch that rare on the likes of you. Although I am intrigued as to why you would assume I might want to. You’re here on behalf of your client and the cease and desist order against Drew… Cain, is it? Or have you thought of some new way to work my very last nerve? It’s Drew Quartermaine. And yeah, you might want to rethink that last little legal maneuver of yours.

I’m so glad you and Kai are getting to know each other. He’s such a good guy. Yeah. What were you kids up to earlier? Well, Kai surprised me with this trip to the modern art museum, where visitors get to paint on this communal canvas. How fun. Yeah. I bet your part was a masterpiece. Ooh! Definitely not. I am way more of a lover of art than an actual artist, so… But, I mean, I’m just grateful that Kai took me somewhere that he knew I’d really love. I haven’t even had a chance to stir my drink, let alone any trouble. But, uh, you were the one who ran off to deal with Jason Morgan’s arrest. Yeah, I’m glad I did. Jason’s DNA was found in Cyrus’ cabin. Well, that doesn’t sound like Morgan. Leaving his DNA behind is sloppy. No, it’s also impossible. Jason said he wasn’t in the cabin and that he didn’t kill Cyrus. I believe him. Anna believes him. But his brother thinks this is the perfect time for payback, and he won’t corroborate Jason’s alibi. I’m sorry. I know how much Jason means to you. I know he’s gonna get cleared eventually. I just hate seeing Jason railroaded for something he didn’t do. [ Lucy and Sidwell laughing ] Lucy: Thank you so much. Thank you. [ Giggles ] Oops. Listen, you have been so good to me that your wish is my command. I was hoping that you’d use your Realtor skills one more time to present an offer for me to buy a property down by the water. Ah. Okay, well, I would be honored. And I think any resident of Port Charles would be very eager to work with somebody of your caliber. So tell me, what resident will I be dealing with? Sonny Corinthos. What’s the issue with Sidwell? Unfortunately, it’s not just Sidwell. He’s working with Drew Quartermaine now. How do those two know each other? Well, I think Sidwell made a point of meeting all the elected officials. Me, too. Well, you know what? Drew, all he wants to do is take me down. But I didn’t think he’d do something stupid like team up with Sidwell. And we all thought the same thing. But it does make a twisted kind of kind of sense. You ready for this? They both want your waterfront property. That’s not gonna happen. They’re not shutting me down, even if Sidwell has a-a congressman backing him up. They might have found a way. And we wouldn’t bring it up if we didn’t think it could work. Uh… what’s the big play? Sonny, they’re planning to invoke eminent domain to seize your waterfront property by the piers, which would leave you with no choice but to vacate the area. Man, what — what’s going on? This is — This is actually serious? I suggested that maybe Finn could be our sperm donor. Alright, I mean, I can see how that would maybe surprise Brook Lynn a little bit, but it’s in line, right, with what you guys have been going through, what you found out a couple weeks ago. You’re just — just weighing options. I shouldn’t have approached it the way that I did. I blindsided her with the idea, and I made it sound like it was a sure thing. So she’s not open to it? I didn’t stick around to find out. I put Brook Lynn in an awkward position again, just like I always do. Alright, well, maybe take it easy on yourself, right? You’re just both trying to figure things out. It’s not your fault. Then why does it always feel like it is? You have every right to feel the way that you do, Brook Lynn. This is one of the most important decisions of your life. And, yeah, listen, it may feel impersonal to ask a perfect stranger to be your sperm donor, but to ask somebody you know, especially if it’s your brother-in-law, I mean, that brings up a whole host of complications, one of them being that maybe this feels a little bit too personal. Maybe. I don’t know. I can also understand the argument that using a sperm donor that you know would make it easier. Listen to yourself. You trying to convince yourself that this is the right thing for you. If you have to work that hard to talk yourself into something, then maybe it’s not right. Honey, you need to be 100% sure that this is what you want and that Finn is the way to go. I mean, honey, this is a baby we’re talking about, not a pair of stilettos. You’re right. I shouldn’t have this many doubts. And the fact that I do means that Finn isn’t the right choice. There you go. I’m just worried about Chase, Ma. I’m worried about what this will do to him. I don’t know how much more he can take. Drew’s relationship with the Quartermaine name is tenuous at best, exploitation at worst. And quite frankly, I am sick to death with him appropriating the Quartermaine name and legacy for his own power-hungry purposes. Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it, Tracy? Speaking of appropriating things, just out of curiosity, when’s the last time you had the Quartermaine estate surveyed? Over the past few months, Lucky and I have talked about whether he should stay in Port Charles and how that decision would affect Aiden. But when I was doing CPR on him and he was fighting for his life, none of that mattered. All I cared about was keeping him alive. For Aiden. And for me. [ Chuckles ] He was my hero. He — He rushed in without hesitation, and he risked his life to save mine. And you saved his right back. I have been lucky enough to have some great romances, but it took me a long time to realize that the best kind of love is the kind where you take turns rescuing one another. That is what makes it one of a kind. That is what makes it worth fighting for. And in Lucky’s case, worth sticking around for. What happened exactly? I’m a little fuzzy on the details. Do you remember fighting with Cyrus? Oh, he was at… Elizabeth’s. No, no, no, no. Oh, my God. Is she okay? Not a scratch on her, thanks to you. But she has been worried sick about you. So have Mom and Aiden. They are gonna be so happy to hear you’re awake. Well, can you — can you go to them, just — just tell them? Because I’d like to see them. I will. But first, now that I told you how glad I am that you’re okay… what the hell is wrong with you? What were you thinking?! I was so exhausted from the day that I almost bailed on our plans, but I am so glad that I didn’t because, you know, I really could use a night out, and I knew you’d be the perfect distraction. Well, I’m glad you’re here, but you seem to be distracted by something other than me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s just, Sidwell — It’s crazy. He held me and Sasha at gunpoint, and now he’s sitting over there like he’s a normal person. Elizabeth was terrified. I mean, I couldn’t just stand there. I had to do something, right? I know. And I probably would have done the same thing, but… you scared me, Lucky. I can’t lose you, too. Not after Dad and Aunt Bobbie and Spencer. If anything happened to you, I couldn’t handle it. But I don’t blame you for rushing in there. You love Elizabeth, and that’s what you do for the people you love. It wasn’t just Elizabeth. Cyrus tried to take you from us, too. I, uh — I wanted to make sure that he paid for that, too. Well, come on, sis, don’t leave me hanging. Did the police get Cyrus or not? No. But someone did. You do know that the Quartermaine property abuts public land, yes? Yes, of course I do. Okay, well, as such, there is one little issue. It appears the Quartermaines overshot the property line by about 20 feet. [ Laughs ] That’s ridiculous. There hasn’t been any new construction on this property in years. Well, I know. As I say, I’ve seen the records. No, this error goes back decades, to your father. Oh, be very careful with what you’re gonna say next. Respectfully, facts are facts. And the fact is, it seems your dear departed father, may he rest in peace, misjudged the boundary of your property. And here’s where it gets a little tricky. That 20 feet kind of, sort of includes the Quartermaine family crypt. So yeah, I think it’s time we revisit the whole cease and desist discussion. Ah, I don’t understand. I mean, if the police didn’t get Cyrus, then who did? Nobody really knows for sure. After Cyrus left Elizabeth’s, he disappeared without a trace. They arrested Jason, but they let him go. I guess they didn’t have enough evidence to hold him on. Do you think Jason did it? I haven’t talked to him, but you can ask him if you want. Nah. The truth is, I don’t want to know. Cyrus is gone, and that’s — that’s all that matters. I’m not sure any of what’s happened will change Lucky’s mind or make him decide to stay here in Port Charles. But I know I can’t count on it. And I don’t want to give Aiden false hopes, even though I know he would love it if his dad made his visit permanent. Aiden would love it? Just Aiden? Okay, maybe not just Aiden. Lucky’s awake. Lois: My sweet girl. Of course you’re worried about Chase. You love him, and you don’t want to see him hurting. But there is no right or wrong answer in this. It’s about making a choice that’s best for the both of you. I just don’t think I could raise a baby knowing that their biological father was really their uncle. Or watching Violet play with my child, thinking that they’re cousins, knowing that it’s really her sibling. I mean, do we tell Violet? Does she have a right to know? I — Thinking about all this stuff is just making me sick to my stomach. There’s your answer. I know. Look, I respect anyone who would go down that path. I just — I don’t think I could do it. I — I just don’t think that I could keep such a huge secret from my child. That wouldn’t feel right. And then the truth would always be hanging over me like this huge bomb that could go off at any time.

So Drew and this Sidwell guy think they’re just gonna, what, invoke eminent domain and just take my property? And they might be able to do it. Sidwell and Drew knew exactly what they were doing when they teamed up. You sure about that? ‘Cause that’s — This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. Well, Sidwell doesn’t want to go to war with you because he knows that WSB, our mayor, and Anna are keeping tabs on him. Right. So he’s doing things legally with Drew’s help. Jordan: Drew’s original Esplanade plans had nothing to do with the waterfront, but his new plans give Drew a way to screw you and — And Jason. To screw you and Jason over, and Sidwell gets control of the port without doing anything illegal. I’m not gonna just roll over, hand them my property, and play dead. They got something coming. Sonny? I mean — Yes, I understand. Look, you know how grateful I am to you for everything you’ve done for my family, especially lately, right? But the thing is, Sonny, at the end of the day, I am still the mayor of this city. And I can’t allow it to become a battleground for Drew and Sidwell. Or for you, for that matter. Now, listen to me. We all agree that the best site for the Esplanade is the original site, that that is, in fact, what’s best for Port Charles. So we will be doing everything we can to shut him down. And us telling you this tonight, it’s a courtesy, Sonny, because I felt that you should be kept informed. I appreciate that, Laura. But there’s no room here for you to retaliate. Are we clear on that? [ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Oh. Felicia, hi. I have some good news. Lucky’s awake. [ Chuckling ] Oh, thank God. Oh, thank God. Oh, I-I-I’ll be right over. Thank you for letting me know. Lucky’s awake. [ Laughs ] Yeah, uh, listen, I’m sorry, but I’ve got to get to the hospital right away. I’ll drive you, Laura. Thank you, Sonny.

You think Laura got through to him? We’re gonna have to pray that she did. How’s Kai handling his injury? Okay, I think. Football was his whole life, and, um, he thought it was gonna be his whole future, too. And every decision he made was geared towards making it to the pros. And having a dream shattered like that, it devastated him. But little by little, he’s coming to terms with that. Good for him. I bet spending time with you is really helping him with that. You know, it wasn’t long ago that your dreams and future were upended. But you turned your life around after Spencer’s death and found the strength to go on. I was proud of you then, and I still am. Sidwell: Ms. Spencer, so lovely to see you again, this time under better circumstances. Yeah. I almost didn’t recognize you without your henchmen and guns. [ Chuckles ] Such an unfortunate misunderstanding. Glad it was resolved. Wasn’t a misunderstanding. I was there when you kidnapped Sasha Corbin. And I also know what you did to Anna, Jason, and Lucky in Africa. Well, glad you followed directions and didn’t report the incident to authorities. And I hope that you have the continued good sense not to do so. Wow. Si– Carly, would you mind ordering me another drink? I think I’d like a moment alone with Mr. Sidwell. Gladly.

I don’t believe we’ve met. Jack Brennan, WSB. Jenz Sidwell. I know who you are. And if you ever trouble Carly Spencer again, I’ll drop a bomb on you and I’ll finish the job I started in Africa.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Weakly ] I hope that’s not how you greet all your patients. Only the special ones. I am so glad you came back to my house last night. [ Exhales sharply ] Thank you for saving me from Cyrus. I’d save you a hundred times if I had to. Just knowing that you’re alright makes every second in this bed worth it. Hey, how’s — how’s Aiden? He’s shaken up. He’s obviously worried about you, but he’s doing okay. Well, it’s late. I’d — He’s probably asleep. I don’t want to call and wake him right now. He’s a teenager. He’s up at all hours. Yeah. And I promised him I would tell him as soon as you woke up. But I’ll bring him by in the morning. Thank you. Listen, um, I know you and I have, uh… We have a lot that we need to talk about. Yeah, none of which we need to even think about right now. You need to save your strength. We have plenty of time to talk about everything else later.

Thank you. You look a little flush, shall I say. Is everything okay? Everything’s fine. Just some lingering business left over from my time in Africa that doesn’t need discussing. I would rather focus on my beautiful companion. Have you had a chance to consider my offer? Yes, um, and while the commission would be extremely tempting — I mean Birkin bag tempting… [ Chuckles ] Yes. …um, I’m afraid I have to decline. I cannot present your purchase offer to Sonny. Oh. Okay, Sidwell seems a little shaken since you said something to him. What’d you say? Nothing. Well, nothing remarkable. But, uh, I am hopeful that Sidwell and I have an understanding. You don’t have to tell me. But I have a feeling, under the right circumstances, you can be a very ruthless man. Well, under the right circumstances, ruthless is one of many things I could be. Sometimes you have no other option. But now that we’ve talked about Jason Morgan and Jenz Sidwell, I would like to get back to the conversation we were having before you ran off to the PCPD. The one where you said that you would wait to take things to the next level until I was ready and then I asked you, “Well, how long would you really wait?” and then you didn’t answer? Do you mean that conversation? That’s the one. I’m gonna give you all the time you need. Because something tells me, Ms. Spencer, that you are worth waiting for. Okay, I have to ask. Were you and Kai on a date? [ Laughs ] Okay, I mean… heading into it, I would have definitely said no. I thought we were just friends. But by the end of the night, it changed. And, um… yeah, we were definitely on a date. [ Both laugh ] Martin: You know, when I was a young lawyer cutting my teeth in the South, I actually dealt with this sort of thing a lot. It’s actually quite common when families as wealthy as yours try and acquire land. You know, they tend to take what’s theirs and sort of assume they’re entitled to it. No. No, no, no, no, not to worry. All families like the Quartermaines have their little secrets, and this one’s actually quite benign, if you think about it. I mean, what’s a little property theft between friends, right? No, I guarantee you, this is, uh — this is gonna stay between the pair of us ’cause you are going to drop the Cease and Desist. Get to the “or else” part. Oh, keep up, Tracy. We’re already there. The “or” part is I notify the state, and within about a week, there’s a caravan of bulldozers outside your front door. And that would be a shame, wouldn’t it? Because that part of the property offers such a stunning view of the lake. Just imagine poor Edward and Lila having to be relocated. It’s actually kind of gross. Stop. Good! I’m glad we understand each other, could reach this little agreement. I’m sure my client, the congressman, will be thrilled to know that you’ve dropped the order. I’m not dropping anything. And you can tell that snake in the grass. I’m calling your bluff. I can see the benefits and the complications to asking a family member to be a — a sperm donor, but, uh… I don’t know that I could do it. I mean, I don’t know that I could biologically father a kid and have to keep them at a distance. You know, not being able to see them every day, not being able to be out in the world with them like a father would. I guess I didn’t really think about Finn’s side of things that much. Yeah, it’s hard right? And, look, I’d like to think that I would do anything to help someone I love become a parent, but it’s — it’s complicated. The day Rocco was born changed my life. I don’t know where I’d be without him. So, for that reason, I don’t think I could be a donor to someone in my life that was close to me. And Finn, I — I don’t know that he could, either. Hearing you talk about it like this, now it makes me wonder. Well, not to add on, but you got to think about Violet. Yeah, I haven’t gotten that far in my thinking just yet. Yeah, but you have to figure her in somewhere, right? It’s a big deal. And who knows? Maybe for all we know, she’d be thrilled with it or — It’ll make a complicated situation even more complicated. Yeah. Look, man, I know you want your kid to have your genes, but you also remember what happened to Molly and Kristina. You don’t want something like that. That’s what Brook Lynn said. Well, she’s a wise woman. Yeah, she is. And you being this honest with me, it really helps. It lets me understand Brook Lynn’s perspective a little better. Well, good, man. I’m glad. I’m gonna go home. I’m gonna talk to my wife.

Good luck! Brook Lynn: There’s one more thing, Ma. When Chase brought up Finn as our sperm donor, we discussed when we would tell our child the truth about their biological father. And it made me think about the baby that I gave up. Well, that’s only natural, honey. Yeah, but now I can’t stop thinking about it. And I have so many questions. Do they know that they’re adopted? And if they do, what do they think about me? You know, do they hate me? Or do they know that I did it out of love, you know, to give them a better life? I just… I forced myself to not think about my baby for so long. [ Voice breaking ] And now that I am, I just can’t stop thinking about what they feel about me. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. [ Crying ] [ Monitor beeping ] Hey. Hey. You look good. Yeah? Yeah. Well, I got good genes. [ Laughs ] And an extra day of beauty rest probably helped. I am so glad you’re okay. You know, it’s funny. When you, uh — when you came in, I just felt a sense of peace wash over me. It’s true what they say. It doesn’t matter how old you get. You still need your mom. I mean, I may be all — all grown up, but, uh… I sure feel better when you’re around. Thank you. That’s music to my ears.

For God’s sake, Tracy, it’s a simple tit-for-tat situation, you know? You I scratch your back, you scratch mine. Why do you always have to complicate everything? I am not scratching anything of yours. And I’m not backing down. Sorry. Didn’t mean to interrupt. Oh. You’re not. How’s Lucky? He’s awake and doing great. Elizabeth and my mom are with him now. Oh, finally, some good news. No, it’s fantastic news. I have been praying for my nephew and my sister. I mean, I’m sure Laura is thrilled. And you must be thrilled, of course. I am. But do you know what would make me feel even better? Having my daughter home safe and sound and away from Valentin. I’m sorry. I’m afraid I still haven’t heard from him. I’m sure. It’s the truth. Lulu, you’re my niece. I wouldn’t lie to you. As a matter of fact, based on our last conversation, I went through all of my records with a fine-tooth comb, hoping I could come up with something that would help you find Valentin. There was nothing there. Would I be able to have a look at those records? Maybe I could find something that you missed. [ Sighs ] I can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry. It would break attorney-client privilege. Lulu, I could be disbarred. Fine. [ Sighs ] You know what? I’m sorry. I’m afraid I am gonna have to cut this short. I have a meeting with another client. Don’t smirk. This isn’t over. I’ll be in touch.

That man is lying to you.

Why do you say that?

Because his demeanor changed the minute you walked in. Before you arrived, he was nothing but an arrogant nuisance. And when he laid eyes on you, all of a sudden he becomes the doting uncle. He’s hiding something. I know it.

Congressman Henderson and my Aunt Stella — they go way back. Hopefully that will make him trust me enough to know that I’m telling the truth about Drew and he can stop him from doing any more damage to Aurora and Port Charles while he’s in Congress. Mm. Well, Congressman Henderson wields a lot of power in Washington. I think your plan is a good one. Well, I hope so, but even if I can get him to block Drew, that doesn’t do anything to stop Sidwell. Let me handle Sidwell. If I play it smart, his interest in me will give me a chance to get some valuable information out of him. Knowledge is power, and I’m ready for us to have some. And I am having dinner with Sidwell later this week. Um, Jordan, I know I can’t stop you from doing it, but I’m gonna need you to be careful. Remember, I know you. Then you know I’m always careful. You know, Sonny will never sell his properties. But I would be more than happy to introduce you to other waterfront. property owners. That’s quite alright. When it comes to Sonny’s peers, I’m — how should I say? — pursuing other avenues to acquire them. [ Laughs ] Hey. Sorry to interrupt… Hey! but I just — I didn’t want to leave before saying hi. I’m glad you didn’t. Yeah. Well, I was surprised I got a text from Joss. Yeah, I got one, too. Can you believe it? A grad student drops out of an environmental science trip to Easter Island at the last minute? I know. I mean, I would have taken their place, too. I know, me, too, if they offered it to me. I mean, I wish I’d just gotten the chance to say goodbye to Joss before she left. I guess we just, like, missed each other at her place, you know? I did get a chance to say goodbye, either, but that’s okay because I think this trip is going to change her life. [ Sighs ] [ Door closes ]

I’m so sorry, babe. You have nothing to be sorry for. It’s my fault. I didn’t even make the Finn thing a discussion. I just threw it out it out there like it was a done deal or something. You were just excited. I was also wrong. I thought about it, and Finn isn’t the right choice for us. I feel the same way. I just was afraid I’d hurt you if I said it. And I am sorry that I put you in that position. I never want you to feel like you can’t be honest with me. You can tell me anything. I love you. I love you, too.

Love you. Bye. [ Laughs ] Well, Aiden is thrilled his dad’s okay. Oh, yes. I feel exactly the same way. I know honey, I know. I feel like I can breathe again finally. [ Laughs, breathes deeply ] Do you think, um… Do you think maybe after all the things that Lucky’s been through these past few days, that it might have changed how he feels about staying here in Port Charles? I don’t know. I’ve been wondering the same thing. You had a lot of people pulling for you. [ Monitor beeping ] You want to hear something crazy? It wasn’t just people here pulling for me. What are you talking about? There was a — a moment when I was… gasping for air, you know, I couldn’t breathe, and… and I thought, “This is it. I’m — I’m actually gonna die.” And then right then, right in that moment, I… I heard my dad’s voice. It wasn’t inside my head, Sonny. It was, like, in the room. You know what I’m saying? It was just as clear as you and you and me talking right now. And he said that it — it wasn’t my time.

“Not yet, cowboy.” Not yet. Is that — Is that crazy? No, it’s not crazy. Your father always had the best timing. And from what I hear, you saving Elizabeth from Cyrus…

…you got it, too.

Like father, like son.

Martin Gray almost hit my car when he was leaving the driveway. Is there’s something going on? I don’t know. But it only reinforces what Tracy just said to me — she thinks he’s hiding something. And I think she’s right because Martin got all spooked the second I mentioned Valentin. [ Sighs ] Oh, my God. Lulu, just let the authorities handle Valentin. I am, but me investigating his lawyer isn’t the same thing as sneaking off to Prague to find him and Charlotte. You’re right. It’s not. But no good can come of that, so… Look, look, I know that you’re only trying to look out for me, but I need to find my daughter. And if this was Rocco, I’d be doing the exact same thing, only you would be right there with me, and you know it. I’m going to bring Charlotte home, and I think Martin is the key to finding her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ooh! Trying to make a break for it? Never. I’m meeting Dante at Volonino’s. Oh! That’s fun. Enjoy sweating. Before I go, do you have a minute? Yeah. For you, uh, always. What’s up? I think I came up with a way for us to have a baby of our own. [ Exhales sharply ] I think Van Gogh would be proud. Hi. Hi. So…this is what it’s like up here. You got a pretty good view. Yeah. Yeah, there’s actually nothing like it. You want me to be a WSB agent? Did you think I was joking when I asked you the first time? But…I’m not a spy. I’m a — I’m a college student! No one starts out a spy. We’ll train you. Why? Because you already possess some of the attributes needed for this line of work. You’re intelligent, brave, perceptive. You have good instincts. You think on your feet. [ Scoffs ] Not always. And most importantly, you want to make a difference in this world… don’t you? I have an announcement. What now? Judge Goldin has signed the Cease and Desist order. What are you ceasing and desisting? Drew Cain can no longer use the Quartermaine name. Hey, Auntie. Hi, baby. Thank you for meeting me here. Mwah. Well, you know, you call, I come running. As it should be. [ Chuckles ] Right. So I take this to mean you have good news? Did you contact your friend, Congressman Henderson? I did. And? I think we have a way for you to take down Drew Quartermaine. Let me just get this straight. Jason is saying that he was with me at my house at the time of Cyrus’ disappearance. Yes, he is. So we just need to know. Is this true, Congressman? Was Mr. Morgan with you last night? So this is what it’s come down to. You using my position as Congressman to cover up your crime. Carly: Drew, don’t do this. We just need a yes or no, Congressman. Was Mr. Morgan with you at that time or not? No. At the time in question, I was at my house alone. Jason’s lying.

Painter: You guys done with the yellow? [ Sighs ] My bad.

Well, good thing they kept going. I was gonna be like, “Can’t you see that she’s literally painting the sun right now?” Well, thank you, but I could have spoken up for myself. And actually, you know, I have been hogging, like, 99% of the yellow paint, so… That’s true. Oh. How’s your work coming? Well, my man here is still uncertain about his future, so I gave him some possibilities. Here are his classes. I’m thinking maybe he’ll take chemistry. And that? Well, I may not be able to play football anymore, but I got to keep moving, right? Absolutely. 100%. And what is that flipper? Sneaker. That’s a sneaker, not a flipper. Those are — Those are laces. Oh! Okay. Yeah! No. I see it. Yeah. No, you don’t see it. No. I’m sorry. [ Laughs ] I’m sorry. You know, the first time that I saw your figure, I actually thought that it looked lost without anywhere to go. Yeah. Well… he’s not lost anymore. Kai. Hm? Do you think if we hadn’t met you’d still be playing football? Okay, I hope this doesn’t sound selfish, but a big part of me wants the baby to be a little bit of you and a little bit of me. Doesn’t sound selfish at all. That’s what I want, too. Okay, so it hit me. We could ask Finn to be the sperm donor. That way, the baby could be biologically related to both of us. What? Finn? Yeah. It — I surprised you with the idea, didn’t I? I — Yeah, I just, um — I’ve never considered that. I mean, think how great Violet is. I mean, wouldn’t you want to have a daughter like her? Yeah. No. Um… Violet’s incredible. And I know that Finn would love Violet to have a little brother or sister. Wait. Have you already talked to Finn about this? By all accounts, when Kristina Corinthos-Davis fell from that window, you didn’t hesitate. [ Fingers snap ] You acted. You kept your head, and you saved her life. Then when Dex died, you asked all the right questions. I also lost it in the police station. I accused Cyrus with no evidence. And — And I pretty much alerted him of an investigation that I asked to be conducted. You still want to recruit me? And when being openly hostile to Cyrus didn’t work, you were smart enough to change tactics and come to me. Then you got me to check the satellite footage, which showed that Cyrus was Dex’s killer. And you held onto that information for reasons I still don’t know. Yeah, well, that’s also part of the job — not knowing or understanding why you’re asked to do or not do something. Yeah, well, I’m not sure that that works for me. Well, it’ll have to. But as you’ll recall, the information that I gave you connected Austin Gatlin-Holt to Cyrus, which led you to the cabin. You led me to the cabin. I shared certain indicators that I was hoping you would recognize as such and that you would find the cabin. And I wanted to see what you would do when you got there. I did not anticipate you would be resourceful enough to bring a gun for your protection. I killed Cyrus. Cyrus would have killed you — and probably others — if you hadn’t stopped him. What you did had to be done. Drew’s use of the Quartermaine name is detrimental to the family’s reputation. Everything this family has done over the years, and Drew’s the one defaming you? This family is influential in Port Charles. We have to protect our brand. I would think that having a Congressman in the family is good for the brand. [ Scoffs ] Not this one. I never should have let him use the Quartermaine name in the first place. Can’t anyone change their name to anything? Yes, they can. Ned, tell your mother she can’t do this. Looks like she already did.

“Take Drew down”?

Isn’t that what you want? Well, yeah, but, Auntie, usually you’re a little more charitable than I am. Drew is supposed to be protecting the interests of his constituents, not pursuing his personal grudges. I feel it’s my civic duty to help you stop him from abusing his power. I am certainly glad you’re on my side. Hm! Okay. What’s the lowdown? I spoke to Congressman Henderson, and he has agreed to meet with you. But then it’s up to you to make him see the kind of man that Drew really is. Congressman Quartermaine, would you be willing to sign a statement saying that Mr. Morgan was not with you last night, the same night as Mr. Renault’s murder? I am. But let me just be clear about something, please. I-I do understand Jason’s hatred for Cyrus. Look. Cyrus threatened Jason’s son, Danny, my nephew. And Jason’s very protective over his family, as any father should be, but I can’t lie for him just because he’s my brother. Sorry to interrupt. The acting D.A. needs a word. Excuse me. You really won’t tell the truth to help your brother? Drew wouldn’t lie about something like this. You used to be a decent man! He is a decent man. I mean, you’ve done so many good things for so many people. Do you see what you’ve become?! Yeah, a representative for the United States Congress. Then prove you deserve to be there and tell the truth! Or are you gonna stand there and lie while your brother faces murder charges out of some kind of spite? Is that what you’re doing?! I don’t need to prove anything — to you or to anybody else. And we all know that you’re gonna lie for Jason no matter what, right? But I just can’t do that. A.D.A. Turner: Take Mr. Morgan to booking. Anna, please. You got to stop her. You can’t just stand there. I can’t do anything, Carly. This isn’t Commissioner Devane’s decision. It’s mine. Officer? I’ll be okay.

Are you okay with all this?! What the hell has happened to you? I would never talk to Finn before talking to you, but I was hoping, if you’re on board, maybe we could talk to him tonight. Tonight? Or whenever. Obviously, there’s no rush. Chase, asking your brother to be our sperm donor is a huge decision. We really need to think about this. You don’t like the idea? No, I don’t — I don’t know how I feel about the idea. I know I kind of just threw it at you, but it — it seems like you hate it. No, it’s not that. It’s just… I don’t want to have your brother’s baby, Chase. I want to have your baby. That’s not possible. No. No, it’s not. Why would you ask me something like that? I kept you up the night before the game, and then you got hurt, and I just felt like maybe if you got more sleep or something like that — Trina, nothing that you did caused the injury, okay? And Quinn does not know what he’s talking about. Yeah. Quinn told me that he talked to you. Well, he seemed pretty adamant that I distracted you before the game. Look. Quinn is a good guy, and he’s a good friend, but sometimes he just needs someone to blame, okay? And, that way, he can tell himself that the same thing won’t happen to him. You’re not just saying that? No, I’m not just saying that. Okay? Every player knows that injuries are inevitable. And that day, my luck just ran out. And it wasn’t because I was tired or because I was slow. I mean, before I got tackled, I was playing the best game of my life. Yeah, you were pretty amazing. Yeah, I was. I don’t want to think about not meeting you. I would be losing my mind not being able to play if it wasn’t for you. So I heard that Drew is lobbying for a seat on the Appropriations Committee. Well, I know that Congressman Henderson holds a lot of political weight to keep that from happening. I have to convince Henderson that Drew is only interested in his personal agenda and not what’s best for his constituents. And what exactly do you plan to say? That depends. Auntie, can you give me any personal insight into Henderson? What’s the best approach for when I meet with him? Can’t you see Drew is lying? Drew wouldn’t do that. Really?! The man who insisted you sneak around town behind everyone’s back wouldn’t do that? If Jason’s being honest and you know for sure he didn’t do it, then you can be his alibi! No, I can’t, Willow, because I wasn’t with him! Drew was! Drew says he wasn’t, and I believe him. Okay. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Why would Jason pick Drew to be his alibi if it weren’t true? He knows that Drew wouldn’t lie for him. [ Scoffs ] Jason would like nothing more than to bring me down with him. He knows that involving me in murder is gonna bring a lot of bad press and it’s gonna ruin my reputation. This is who he is — a man who is so hell-bent on hurting his brother that he would let a murderer go free. If Jason is innocent, he’s got to trust the system. It’s certainly worked for him before. Are you kidding me?! You know as well as I do if they think Jason is guilty, they’re not gonna look for the real murderer. And you! How much proof do you need?! Drew is not the man you think he is. Carly, everybody knows that you’re upset because we hurt Michael. All we did is we fell for each other. We could not help it. We never meant to hurt anyone. Wake up! You are having an affair with a man who doesn’t exist. Can we get out of here, please? [ Carly chuckles ] Drew: Absolutely. I’ll give my statement to the A.D.A. tomorrow.

You’re getting way ahead of yourself. Finding Jason’s DNA in that cabin isn’t enough to build a case against him. The PCPD will find all the evidence we need. And now that you’re off the case, Detective Bennett will be in charge. This is out of your hands, Commissioner. We’re looking for people who act in the shadows, quietly making this world a better place and who aren’t looking for credit when they do. “In the shadows.” “Quietly.” You mean secret. Working for the WSB means leading a double life. That can be lonely. So I have to be perfectly clear with you about this. You can never tell anyone, not even your mother, that you work for the Bureau, ever. You will be lying to your family and friends. I will provide you cover stories which you must stick to no matter what. Why would I want to do any of that? Because covert work is what shifts the arc of the universe towards justice. And what’s more important than that? What I’m offering you is a life, a career where you get to use your skills, your athleticism, your competitive nature, your natural charm, your strategic mind. Now, is there anything you’re studying at college that can compare to that? No. And how did it feel knowing that you stopped Dex’s killer before he could kill anyone else? Like I did something that mattered. Because you did. And how many lives have you saved besides your own by killing Cyrus? I don’t know. Exactly.

But what we do know is there are plenty of people out there just as dangerous as Cyrus, ones that won’t be stopped by conventional means. Sometimes you have to go outside the system for the sake of the greater good. But how do I know what the greater good is? Well, that’s what you have me for. I’m quite sure Congressman Henderson is used to people approaching him for personal gain. Which is why you need to show him why he should give you some of his valuable time. Okay. Um… Congressman Henderson, first, I should be upfront. Um, Drew Quartermaine and I had a falling-out, both personally and in business, at Aurora. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m not asking you to interfere. In fact, I was hoping for the opposite. Which is…? Congressman Quartermaine founded Aurora. Recently, his nephew, Michael Corinthos, leveraged him out and put me in as CEO. Since then, Drew has stated openly that he would use his power in Congress to scuttle Aurora projects that require federal funding. That’s why he’s vying so hard for that Appropriation Committee seat. This sounds like a private matter. Well, sir, if it just affected Drew, Michael, or me, I wouldn’t be here. But Aurora is a major source of jobs and revenue for his constituency in Port Charles. The first project that he’s hoping to block is the McConkey Esplanade. Wasn’t McConkey his mentor? And the reason he ran for office in the first place, which, you know, he did for good reason, but Drew kept putting his bruised ego in front of his constituents. Sir, he has to be stopped before the good people of Port Charles get hurt by his need for revenge. How’s that? Sounds good to me. [ Sighs ] Well, let’s just hope it’s good enough to convince Henderson. Brook Lynn: I can see how important it is to you to have a biological connection to our child, but it’s our connection to Finn that makes me uneasy. Why? You know what a good guy Finn is. He’s a great guy. Look, a-a great guy who takes fatherhood very seriously. Biologically, this would be his baby. Will he be okay watching us raise his child? Would you be okay raising your brother’s child? We’ll figure that out later. Molly and Kristina thought they had, but everything that happened between them almost ruined their relationship. Well, their situation had a lot more complications than ours does. Okay. That’s right. What will it be like when our child learns that their biological father is their uncle? Do they have to know? Good afternoon, A.D.A. Turner. Ms. Miller. I’ve been expecting you. Mm-hmm. And I’m expecting to see my client. Immediately. Well, he’s in booking. We’ll bring him up as soon as he’s done. Good. Because it seems like the PCPD took its own sweet time in letting me know that he was here. Naturally, he invoked as soon as you arrived. Well, I’m sure you were notified as soon as possible. This is hardly our office’s only case. Yes, well, given your persistent harassment of my client, I’m sort of surprised you have time for anything else. It’s not harassment if he’s guilty. Oh. Why would an innocent man lie about his alibi? That is such a good question. Of course, you know anything he said prior to my arrival is gonna be tossed out. Wait here, Ms. Miller. Okay.

Anna! Why are you letting this happen? You know Jason didn’t do this. Turner has pulled rank. She’s kicked me off the case because she thinks that I’m biased towards Jason. Are you? Well, look, I’m — We’re friends. But I can’t use my position to protect him. Then use it to find something to get Jason out of that cell and back with his son! Diane will handle that. An alibi. That’s new. Yeah. Anna — She called me in to ask me a few questions, as a friend. And that’s the only reason I told her. Well, what else did you tell your “friend,” the Police Commissioner? I-I told her that I went to Sam’s grave and then I went to see Drew at his new house and then I went home. Well, if you didn’t kill Cyrus, who did? I don’t know. But they saved me a lot of work. [ Chuckles ] I understand that the cabin was spotless… with the sole exception of your DNA. Planted. I was never in that cab– I don’t even know where that cabin is. So that begs the question. Who wants to frame you? So is that why you stopped coming around? Just because Quinn was running his mouth? I thought maybe I did something to push you away. You didn’t. You sure? Positive. Okay. Cool. Anyway, I did tell Quinn to back off. Well, you didn’t have to say anything. I didn’t feel responsible for what happened. Then why did you stay away? After I saw you at the hospital, I just felt like I was steamrolling you, taking it upon myself to organize your life rather than respecting what you were going through. Well, you were a little pushy. [ Chuckles ] Welcome to me. Hey, but I needed pushing. And I like the way that you challenge me. I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. And if I’ve helped you see that there’s other possibilities to life besides football, then — Trina, you absolutely have. Tracy, have you even thought about Scout? Where does this leave her? Lois, I know this is against your nature, but please don’t make trouble where there is none. Scout is Alan’s granddaughter. She’ll always be a Quartermaine. Ah. Drew is Alan’s son, yet he has to be a Cain. Scout will want to have the have the same name as her dad. She deserves better. He’s still her dad. W-Why does this matter to you anyway? It doesn’t. Except I never knew my dad, but I’m still proud to carry his last name because it makes me feel like I’m — I’m close to him. And if you say that Drew is not a Quartermaine, Scout’s not gonna feel like she is, either. Gio is absolutely right. Hasn’t Scout been through enough? Hey. I’m sorry that you had to be there for that. If I — I would never have brought you to the police station if — if I knew what that was all about. No. No. I’m glad I was there. You never have to shield me from the truth. No. I know. I know. It’s just…Carly. She’s like an angry tornado in human form. I couldn’t believe Carly kept calling you a liar. Yeah, it’s just her mantra these days, you know? I was angry that she put you on the spot like that. I mean, you’re in a tough position with Carly being Wiley and Amelia’s grandmother. The kids love her. I don’t want that to change. Of course you don’t — because you have this beautiful, pure heart that even has room for Carly. Today I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. It is a good thing. And I appreciate you standing up for me. Now… after everything that was said at the police station… do you have anything that you want to ask me? I was so excited about the prospect of — You know. I didn’t think about how a child would react to someone they’ve known their whole life turning out to be their biological dad. And in this case, their uncle. But that would help, right? It would reassure our kid that — that they’re family and they belong, no matter how they were conceived. [ Sighs ] Well, they should feel that way no matter who the donor is. But if it is Finn, I just wouldn’t want our child to feel like we couldn’t have the child we wanted, so we did the next-best thing and asked your brother. But that’s not what we’re doing here. I know. I just would never want our child to feel like a consolation prize. Whoever cleaned that cabin is a pro. Cyrus’ DNA isn’t there. But they planted mine. Somehow they got it for the cops to find. Why you? I was an easy target after I threatened Cyrus at Charlie’s. The A.D.A. has plenty of witnesses. That’s a mistake you never make. I got angry and I got careless. You wanna know what I think? I think your priorities have shifted. I think you’re putting being a dad over your work. And when you saw Cyrus’ hands on Danny, you went into full-on dad mode. And somebody used that against me. During our investigation of Cyrus’ murders, um… we uncovered another victim. Michael. Cyrus planted the firebomb at Sonny’s penthouse? No, no, no, no. We don’t know who planted the bomb. But Cyrus confessed to Elizabeth that when Michael was in the burn unit he injected him with digitalis. It was Cyrus that caused Michael’s heart failure? Yes, it was. ♪♪ You need to find Cyrus’ killer. So I can thank them. You still haven’t told me what I’d be doing for the WSB. And I’m telling you right now that I’m not gonna kill people. Of course not. We have plenty of people for that. Okay, well, that’s not as comforting as you think it is. Your skills lie elsewhere. Now, we have agents all over the world. Different ages, races, backgrounds. You are young, beautiful, and you’re not afraid to talk to people. You can get in places I can’t go. You can ask questions that people would never answer coming from me. As a college student, which you still would be, you can get in places older agents can’t. Now, how does that sound to you? Does it matter? What do you mean? I mean, I can’t say no to you. You covered up a murder for me. If I don’t cooperate, you could send me to prison. The more I’m thinking about it, Scout just lost a mother and her home. She’s — She’s not living with Danny and Rocco anymore. I would hate to do anything else to make that child question her place in this family. Mother, does Monica know? Leave Monica out of this. So, no. [ Scoffs ] My father deserves to have his legacy protected from the likes of Drew Cain! Edward did just fine tarnishing the family rep all on his own! You are a guest in this house, not family! As such, butt out! Fine. I’ve said my piece.

Something else on your mind, young man? Chase: I hear what you’re saying, and I can’t say that you’re wrong. I’m not saying no. Okay? Just whatever we decide, we just need to be sure. Yeah. I gotta get to the gym. Dante’s probably waiting for me. Chase, are you okay? I’m gonna be okay. I-I think a workout will do me good. Clear my head. I’m really sorry I didn’t give you the reaction you wanted. It’s a conversation that we need to have. And, uh, I always want us to be open and honest with each other, so… I love you. I love you, too.  [ Sighs heavily ]

Excuse me. I need to talk to him. Well, you can’t. Mr. Morgan is awaiting arraignment. But I do have a question for you. Why would an innocent man lie about his alibi? He wouldn’t. Drew’s the one who’s lying. And you expect me to take the word of a career criminal over a U.S. Congressman? Have you seen the people in Congress? And you don’t even have a body. You can’t even prove that Cyrus is dead. Well, it’s possible to get a “no-body” conviction. And given Mr. Morgan’s extensive criminal history, a body’s preferred but not essential, especially when Mr. Morgan told Cyrus that no one would ever find his body, which is exactly what happened. You don’t know if that’s true or not. Look, as I explained to your daughter earlier today — My daughter? Josslyn was here? Yes. Insisting, much like you, that Mr. Morgan is innocent. I told her not to interfere with the police investigation. You’re making a huge mistake. Mr. Morgan had means, opportunity, and a crystal-clear motive. Cyrus killed Sam McCall… the mother of his son. I can’t do anything to stop this, Jason.

It’s not up to you to get me out of this. Don’t get into trouble for me. I can’t. I’m off the case. I’ll tell you something, though. I’m determined to find Cyrus body. Well, you won’t. Or any other evidence. Cyrus was taken out by a pro… one who doesn’t leave tracks. A coerced agent does me no good. I need you completely committed to your job, or you will get people killed or yourself killed. And I would never risk an asset like you. You really think that I would be useful? I do. Josslyn, I am offering you the rarest of opportunities. A chance to make a difference in this world. A chance to challenge yourself like you’ve never been challenged before. But if that’s not something you want, it’s fine. Okay. Good. But whatever you choose, I do ask that you not mention this to your mother or anyone, ever. Okay. Well, then what? Well, then we act like none of this ever happened. And you can go back to college and get your degree in, uh… environmental science, was it?

You really think I’d make a good agent? I’ve been doing this a long time. I haven’t been wrong yet. But I do need an answer from you. Look, either you want to do it or you don’t. And in case it wasn’t obvious, this is a time-sensitive offer. If you say no, I will have to make other arrangements. I’ll do it. You’re sure? Yes. I want to do it. For all of the reasons that you said. But I also want to do it for Dex. He was such a good man and he had a really hard life, but all he wanted to do was help people. So I’ll do it. For both of us. I will work for the WSB. Excellent. You leave tonight. Not an artist, huh? Well, I think this turned out pretty great. Thank you. And…yeah. Your– Yours, too. Okay. Okay. Well, at least it’s not a flipper. [ Laughs ]

[ Gasps ] Whoa!

Whoa.

Mother, leave Gio alone! Why? He’s moved us all with his music. Let’s see what he does with his words. By all means, Gio, speak. Respectfully, Ms. Quartermaine, I think what you’re doing is wrong. Family is family, and you can’t kick somebody out because you don’t like what they’re doing. Olivia: Tracy, Gio is right. Taking the Quartermaine name away from Drew is just gonna hurt Scout. And that’s the last thing any of us should want to do. I disagree. So you’re willing to risk irreparable harm to Scout just to spite Drew? Defending the family name can only help Scout. And as for you, you have no right to weigh in. You’re not a Quartermaine. However, if you were, you’d be a better addition than Drew. Brook Lynn? Hey. Honey, I’m here. What’s wrong? I need your help, Ma. Anything. Chase wants Finn to be our sperm donor. I admit, I — I did not see that one coming. Me neither. [ Sighs ] What should I do? Auntie, I better let you get back to helping your patients instead of just helping me. You know me. I’m the champion multitasker. Oh, you’re more than that. You’re a miracle worker. Thank you so much for contacting Congressman Henderson on my behalf. I know that I got one shot to make my case about Drew, and, I promise you, I’ll make it count. Stella the citizen is very proud of you. Well, what about my Aunt Stella? She’s worried that Drew is gonna retaliate once he finds out that you’re behind all this. Yeah. That’s what he does. But I know you’re not asking me to walk away from a fight because I might get hurt. [ Sighs ] I wouldn’t waste my breath. Good, because you and Mama always taught me to stand up for what’s right. Taking down Drew Quartermaine? Both: It’s the right thing to do. No. No questions. I’m just sorry Carly was so determined to protect Jason at your expense. Thank you for saying that. And thank you for having faith in me. It means… more to me than you know. What really gets me is Carly’s assumption that you’re manipulating me. [ Drew Scoffs ] I mean, she has every reason to disapprove of our relationship, but that is just insulting. Well, of course she believes that I’m manipulating you because in Carly’s world there’s no possible chance that you and Michael could have just grown apart. Which makes no sense, because that is what happened. And you and I have this… connection. I feel the same way. I don’t have to pretend with you. You accept me, flaws and all. Carly acts like you stole me from Michael. But I am my own person. I make my own choices. And anybody that knows you knows that. I will always regret how Michael found out about us. But I choose you… completely. And I choose you. And now I want the world to know it. The kids and I would love to move in with you.

Diane: A.D.A. Turner, here’s the court order that I know you’ve been expecting. Now, would you please release my client immediately? Yeah. I’ll just look this over first. Of course, you should know that Judge Green agrees with me that the state has no case. We’ll have one by trial. Oh, you gonna make one up? [ Chuckles ] Alright, well, obviously, I will be filing a motion to dismiss at the arraignment. Of course, you will. Take Mr. Morgan and process him out. He’s free to go. For now. Carly: Wait. Everything’s gonna be fine. Damn right it is. ♪♪

[ Anna sighs ]

Thank God that’s over. Well, it’s not over, Carly, ’cause we still don’t know who killed Cyrus. Who cares who killed Cyrus? We’re all better off without him. Seriously. Why should the police waste their time and resources to find his killer? Because whoever killed Cyrus set Jason up to take the fall. And if A.D.A. Turner finds Cyrus’ body first, then Jason’s gonna be back in here in a heartbeat. Alright. What are we gonna do? Hopefully, you’re gonna do nothing. I’m gonna find out who they are and stop them. Because if they went to all this trouble to set Jason up, they’re not going to stop.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ooh! Trying to make a break for it? Never. I’m meeting Dante at Volonino’s. Oh! That’s fun. Enjoy sweating. Before I go, do you have a minute? Yeah. For you, uh, always. What’s up? I think I came up with a way for us to have a baby of our own. [ Exhales sharply ] I think Van Gogh would be proud. Hi. Hi. So…this is what it’s like up here. You got a pretty good view. Yeah. Yeah, there’s actually nothing like it. You want me to be a WSB agent? Did you think I was joking when I asked you the first time? But…I’m not a spy. I’m a — I’m a college student! No one starts out a spy. We’ll train you. Why? Because you already possess some of the attributes needed for this line of work. You’re intelligent, brave, perceptive. You have good instincts. You think on your feet. [ Scoffs ] Not always. And most importantly, you want to make a difference in this world… don’t you? I have an announcement. What now? Judge Goldin has signed the Cease and Desist order. What are you ceasing and desisting? Drew Cain can no longer use the Quartermaine name. Hey, Auntie. Hi, baby. Thank you for meeting me here. Mwah. Well, you know, you call, I come running. As it should be. [ Chuckles ] Right. So I take this to mean you have good news? Did you contact your friend, Congressman Henderson? I did. And? I think we have a way for you to take down Drew Quartermaine. Let me just get this straight. Jason is saying that he was with me at my house at the time of Cyrus’ disappearance. Yes, he is. So we just need to know. Is this true, Congressman? Was Mr. Morgan with you last night? So this is what it’s come down to. You using my position as Congressman to cover up your crime. Carly: Drew, don’t do this. We just need a yes or no, Congressman. Was Mr. Morgan with you at that time or not? No. At the time in question, I was at my house alone. Jason’s lying.

Painter: You guys done with the yellow? [ Sighs ] My bad.

Well, good thing they kept going. I was gonna be like, “Can’t you see that she’s literally painting the sun right now?” Well, thank you, but I could have spoken up for myself. And actually, you know, I have been hogging, like, 99% of the yellow paint, so… That’s true. Oh. How’s your work coming? Well, my man here is still uncertain about his future, so I gave him some possibilities. Here are his classes. I’m thinking maybe he’ll take chemistry. And that? Well, I may not be able to play football anymore, but I got to keep moving, right? Absolutely. 100%. And what is that flipper? Sneaker. That’s a sneaker, not a flipper. Those are — Those are laces. Oh! Okay. Yeah! No. I see it. Yeah. No, you don’t see it. No. I’m sorry. [ Laughs ] I’m sorry. You know, the first time that I saw your figure, I actually thought that it looked lost without anywhere to go. Yeah. Well… he’s not lost anymore. Kai. Hm? Do you think if we hadn’t met you’d still be playing football? Okay, I hope this doesn’t sound selfish, but a big part of me wants the baby to be a little bit of you and a little bit of me. Doesn’t sound selfish at all. That’s what I want, too. Okay, so it hit me. We could ask Finn to be the sperm donor. That way, the baby could be biologically related to both of us. What? Finn? Yeah. It — I surprised you with the idea, didn’t I? I — Yeah, I just, um — I’ve never considered that. I mean, think how great Violet is. I mean, wouldn’t you want to have a daughter like her? Yeah. No. Um… Violet’s incredible. And I know that Finn would love Violet to have a little brother or sister. Wait. Have you already talked to Finn about this? By all accounts, when Kristina Corinthos-Davis fell from that window, you didn’t hesitate. [ Fingers snap ] You acted. You kept your head, and you saved her life. Then when Dex died, you asked all the right questions. I also lost it in the police station. I accused Cyrus with no evidence. And — And I pretty much alerted him of an investigation that I asked to be conducted. You still want to recruit me? And when being openly hostile to Cyrus didn’t work, you were smart enough to change tactics and come to me. Then you got me to check the satellite footage, which showed that Cyrus was Dex’s killer. And you held onto that information for reasons I still don’t know. Yeah, well, that’s also part of the job — not knowing or understanding why you’re asked to do or not do something. Yeah, well, I’m not sure that that works for me. Well, it’ll have to. But as you’ll recall, the information that I gave you connected Austin Gatlin-Holt to Cyrus, which led you to the cabin. You led me to the cabin. I shared certain indicators that I was hoping you would recognize as such and that you would find the cabin. And I wanted to see what you would do when you got there. I did not anticipate you would be resourceful enough to bring a gun for your protection. I killed Cyrus. Cyrus would have killed you — and probably others — if you hadn’t stopped him. What you did had to be done. Drew’s use of the Quartermaine name is detrimental to the family’s reputation. Everything this family has done over the years, and Drew’s the one defaming you? This family is influential in Port Charles. We have to protect our brand. I would think that having a Congressman in the family is good for the brand. [ Scoffs ] Not this one. I never should have let him use the Quartermaine name in the first place. Can’t anyone change their name to anything? Yes, they can. Ned, tell your mother she can’t do this. Looks like she already did.

“Take Drew down”?

Isn’t that what you want? Well, yeah, but, Auntie, usually you’re a little more charitable than I am. Drew is supposed to be protecting the interests of his constituents, not pursuing his personal grudges. I feel it’s my civic duty to help you stop him from abusing his power. I am certainly glad you’re on my side. Hm! Okay. What’s the lowdown? I spoke to Congressman Henderson, and he has agreed to meet with you. But then it’s up to you to make him see the kind of man that Drew really is. Congressman Quartermaine, would you be willing to sign a statement saying that Mr. Morgan was not with you last night, the same night as Mr. Renault’s murder? I am. But let me just be clear about something, please. I-I do understand Jason’s hatred for Cyrus. Look. Cyrus threatened Jason’s son, Danny, my nephew. And Jason’s very protective over his family, as any father should be, but I can’t lie for him just because he’s my brother. Sorry to interrupt. The acting D.A. needs a word. Excuse me. You really won’t tell the truth to help your brother? Drew wouldn’t lie about something like this. You used to be a decent man! He is a decent man. I mean, you’ve done so many good things for so many people. Do you see what you’ve become?! Yeah, a representative for the United States Congress. Then prove you deserve to be there and tell the truth! Or are you gonna stand there and lie while your brother faces murder charges out of some kind of spite? Is that what you’re doing?! I don’t need to prove anything — to you or to anybody else. And we all know that you’re gonna lie for Jason no matter what, right? But I just can’t do that. A.D.A. Turner: Take Mr. Morgan to booking. Anna, please. You got to stop her. You can’t just stand there. I can’t do anything, Carly. This isn’t Commissioner Devane’s decision. It’s mine. Officer? I’ll be okay.

Are you okay with all this?! What the hell has happened to you? I would never talk to Finn before talking to you, but I was hoping, if you’re on board, maybe we could talk to him tonight. Tonight? Or whenever. Obviously, there’s no rush. Chase, asking your brother to be our sperm donor is a huge decision. We really need to think about this. You don’t like the idea? No, I don’t — I don’t know how I feel about the idea. I know I kind of just threw it at you, but it — it seems like you hate it. No, it’s not that. It’s just… I don’t want to have your brother’s baby, Chase. I want to have your baby. That’s not possible. No. No, it’s not. Why would you ask me something like that? I kept you up the night before the game, and then you got hurt, and I just felt like maybe if you got more sleep or something like that — Trina, nothing that you did caused the injury, okay? And Quinn does not know what he’s talking about. Yeah. Quinn told me that he talked to you. Well, he seemed pretty adamant that I distracted you before the game. Look. Quinn is a good guy, and he’s a good friend, but sometimes he just needs someone to blame, okay? And, that way, he can tell himself that the same thing won’t happen to him. You’re not just saying that? No, I’m not just saying that. Okay? Every player knows that injuries are inevitable. And that day, my luck just ran out. And it wasn’t because I was tired or because I was slow. I mean, before I got tackled, I was playing the best game of my life. Yeah, you were pretty amazing. Yeah, I was. I don’t want to think about not meeting you. I would be losing my mind not being able to play if it wasn’t for you. So I heard that Drew is lobbying for a seat on the Appropriations Committee. Well, I know that Congressman Henderson holds a lot of political weight to keep that from happening. I have to convince Henderson that Drew is only interested in his personal agenda and not what’s best for his constituents. And what exactly do you plan to say? That depends. Auntie, can you give me any personal insight into Henderson? What’s the best approach for when I meet with him? Can’t you see Drew is lying? Drew wouldn’t do that. Really?! The man who insisted you sneak around town behind everyone’s back wouldn’t do that? If Jason’s being honest and you know for sure he didn’t do it, then you can be his alibi! No, I can’t, Willow, because I wasn’t with him! Drew was! Drew says he wasn’t, and I believe him. Okay. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Why would Jason pick Drew to be his alibi if it weren’t true? He knows that Drew wouldn’t lie for him. [ Scoffs ] Jason would like nothing more than to bring me down with him. He knows that involving me in murder is gonna bring a lot of bad press and it’s gonna ruin my reputation. This is who he is — a man who is so hell-bent on hurting his brother that he would let a murderer go free. If Jason is innocent, he’s got to trust the system. It’s certainly worked for him before. Are you kidding me?! You know as well as I do if they think Jason is guilty, they’re not gonna look for the real murderer. And you! How much proof do you need?! Drew is not the man you think he is. Carly, everybody knows that you’re upset because we hurt Michael. All we did is we fell for each other. We could not help it. We never meant to hurt anyone. Wake up! You are having an affair with a man who doesn’t exist. Can we get out of here, please? [ Carly chuckles ] Drew: Absolutely. I’ll give my statement to the A.D.A. tomorrow.

ou’re getting way ahead of yourself. Finding Jason’s DNA in that cabin isn’t enough to build a case against him. The PCPD will find all the evidence we need. And now that you’re off the case, Detective Bennett will be in charge. This is out of your hands, Commissioner. We’re looking for people who act in the shadows, quietly making this world a better place and who aren’t looking for credit when they do. “In the shadows.” “Quietly.” You mean secret. Working for the WSB means leading a double life. That can be lonely. So I have to be perfectly clear with you about this. You can never tell anyone, not even your mother, that you work for the Bureau, ever. You will be lying to your family and friends. I will provide you cover stories which you must stick to no matter what. Why would I want to do any of that? Because covert work is what shifts the arc of the universe towards justice. And what’s more important than that? What I’m offering you is a life, a career where you get to use your skills, your athleticism, your competitive nature, your natural charm, your strategic mind. Now, is there anything you’re studying at college that can compare to that? No. And how did it feel knowing that you stopped Dex’s killer before he could kill anyone else? Like I did something that mattered. Because you did. And how many lives have you saved besides your own by killing Cyrus? I don’t know. Exactly.

But what we do know is there are plenty of people out there just as dangerous as Cyrus, ones that won’t be stopped by conventional means. Sometimes you have to go outside the system for the sake of the greater good. But how do I know what the greater good is? Well, that’s what you have me for. I’m quite sure Congressman Henderson is used to people approaching him for personal gain. Which is why you need to show him why he should give you some of his valuable time. Okay. Um… Congressman Henderson, first, I should be upfront. Um, Drew Quartermaine and I had a falling-out, both personally and in business, at Aurora. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m not asking you to interfere. In fact, I was hoping for the opposite. Which is…? Congressman Quartermaine founded Aurora. Recently, his nephew, Michael Corinthos, leveraged him out and put me in as CEO. Since then, Drew has stated openly that he would use his power in Congress to scuttle Aurora projects that require federal funding. That’s why he’s vying so hard for that Appropriation Committee seat. This sounds like a private matter. Well, sir, if it just affected Drew, Michael, or me, I wouldn’t be here. But Aurora is a major source of jobs and revenue for his constituency in Port Charles. The first project that he’s hoping to block is the McConkey Esplanade. Wasn’t McConkey his mentor? And the reason he ran for office in the first place, which, you know, he did for good reason, but Drew kept putting his bruised ego in front of his constituents. Sir, he has to be stopped before the good people of Port Charles get hurt by his need for revenge. How’s that? Sounds good to me. [ Sighs ] Well, let’s just hope it’s good enough to convince Henderson. Brook Lynn: I can see how important it is to you to have a biological connection to our child, but it’s our connection to Finn that makes me uneasy. Why? You know what a good guy Finn is. He’s a great guy. Look, a-a great guy who takes fatherhood very seriously. Biologically, this would be his baby. Will he be okay watching us raise his child? Would you be okay raising your brother’s child? We’ll figure that out later. Molly and Kristina thought they had, but everything that happened between them almost ruined their relationship. Well, their situation had a lot more complications than ours does. Okay. That’s right. What will it be like when our child learns that their biological father is their uncle? Do they have to know? Good afternoon, A.D.A. Turner. Ms. Miller. I’ve been expecting you. Mm-hmm. And I’m expecting to see my client. Immediately. Well, he’s in booking. We’ll bring him up as soon as he’s done. Good. Because it seems like the PCPD took its own sweet time in letting me know that he was here. Naturally, he invoked as soon as you arrived. Well, I’m sure you were notified as soon as possible. This is hardly our office’s only case. Yes, well, given your persistent harassment of my client, I’m sort of surprised you have time for anything else. It’s not harassment if he’s guilty. Oh. Why would an innocent man lie about his alibi? That is such a good question. Of course, you know anything he said prior to my arrival is gonna be tossed out. Wait here, Ms. Miller. Okay.

Anna! Why are you letting this happen? You know Jason didn’t do this. Turner has pulled rank. She’s kicked me off the case because she thinks that I’m biased towards Jason. Are you? Well, look, I’m — We’re friends. But I can’t use my position to protect him. Then use it to find something to get Jason out of that cell and back with his son! Diane will handle that. An alibi. That’s new. Yeah. Anna — She called me in to ask me a few questions, as a friend. And that’s the only reason I told her. Well, what else did you tell your “friend,” the Police Commissioner? I-I told her that I went to Sam’s grave and then I went to see Drew at his new house and then I went home. Well, if you didn’t kill Cyrus, who did? I don’t know. But they saved me a lot of work. [ Chuckles ] I understand that the cabin was spotless… with the sole exception of your DNA. Planted. I was never in that cab– I don’t even know where that cabin is. So that begs the question. Who wants to frame you? So is that why you stopped coming around? Just because Quinn was running his mouth? I thought maybe I did something to push you away. You didn’t. You sure? Positive. Okay. Cool. Anyway, I did tell Quinn to back off. Well, you didn’t have to say anything. I didn’t feel responsible for what happened. Then why did you stay away? After I saw you at the hospital, I just felt like I was steamrolling you, taking it upon myself to organize your life rather than respecting what you were going through. Well, you were a little pushy. [ Chuckles ] Welcome to me. Hey, but I needed pushing. And I like the way that you challenge me. I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. And if I’ve helped you see that there’s other possibilities to life besides football, then — Trina, you absolutely have. Tracy, have you even thought about Scout? Where does this leave her? Lois, I know this is against your nature, but please don’t make trouble where there is none. Scout is Alan’s granddaughter. She’ll always be a Quartermaine. Ah. Drew is Alan’s son, yet he has to be a Cain. Scout will want to have the have the same name as her dad. She deserves better. He’s still her dad. W-Why does this matter to you anyway? It doesn’t. Except I never knew my dad, but I’m still proud to carry his last name because it makes me feel like I’m — I’m close to him. And if you say that Drew is not a Quartermaine, Scout’s not gonna feel like she is, either. Gio is absolutely right. Hasn’t Scout been through enough? Hey. I’m sorry that you had to be there for that. If I — I would never have brought you to the police station if — if I knew what that was all about. No. No. I’m glad I was there. You never have to shield me from the truth. No. I know. I know. It’s just…Carly. She’s like an angry tornado in human form. I couldn’t believe Carly kept calling you a liar. Yeah, it’s just her mantra these days, you know? I was angry that she put you on the spot like that. I mean, you’re in a tough position with Carly being Wiley and Amelia’s grandmother. The kids love her. I don’t want that to change. Of course you don’t — because you have this beautiful, pure heart that even has room for Carly. Today I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. It is a good thing. And I appreciate you standing up for me. Now… after everything that was said at the police station… do you have anything that you want to ask me? I was so excited about the prospect of — You know. I didn’t think about how a child would react to someone they’ve known their whole life turning out to be their biological dad. And in this case, their uncle. But that would help, right? It would reassure our kid that — that they’re family and they belong, no matter how they were conceived. [ Sighs ] Well, they should feel that way no matter who the donor is. But if it is Finn, I just wouldn’t want our child to feel like we couldn’t have the child we wanted, so we did the next-best thing and asked your brother. But that’s not what we’re doing here. I know. I just would never want our child to feel like a consolation prize. Whoever cleaned that cabin is a pro. Cyrus’ DNA isn’t there. But they planted mine. Somehow they got it for the cops to find. Why you? I was an easy target after I threatened Cyrus at Charlie’s. The A.D.A. has plenty of witnesses. That’s a mistake you never make. I got angry and I got careless. You wanna know what I think? I think your priorities have shifted. I think you’re putting being a dad over your work. And when you saw Cyrus’ hands on Danny, you went into full-on dad mode. And somebody used that against me. During our investigation of Cyrus’ murders, um… we uncovered another victim. Michael. Cyrus planted the firebomb at Sonny’s penthouse? No, no, no, no. We don’t know who planted the bomb. But Cyrus confessed to Elizabeth that when Michael was in the burn unit he injected him with digitalis. It was Cyrus that caused Michael’s heart failure? Yes, it was.

You need to find Cyrus’ killer. So I can thank them. You still haven’t told me what I’d be doing for the WSB. And I’m telling you right now that I’m not gonna kill people. Of course not. We have plenty of people for that. Okay, well, that’s not as comforting as you think it is. Your skills lie elsewhere. Now, we have agents all over the world. Different ages, races, backgrounds. You are young, beautiful, and you’re not afraid to talk to people. You can get in places I can’t go. You can ask questions that people would never answer coming from me. As a college student, which you still would be, you can get in places older agents can’t. Now, how does that sound to you? Does it matter? What do you mean? I mean, I can’t say no to you. You covered up a murder for me. If I don’t cooperate, you could send me to prison. The more I’m thinking about it, Scout just lost a mother and her home. She’s — She’s not living with Danny and Rocco anymore. I would hate to do anything else to make that child question her place in this family. Mother, does Monica know? Leave Monica out of this. So, no. [ Scoffs ] My father deserves to have his legacy protected from the likes of Drew Cain! Edward did just fine tarnishing the family rep all on his own! You are a guest in this house, not family! As such, butt out! Fine. I’ve said my piece.

Something else on your mind, young man? Chase: I hear what you’re saying, and I can’t say that you’re wrong. I’m not saying no. Okay? Just whatever we decide, we just need to be sure. Yeah. I gotta get to the gym. Dante’s probably waiting for me. Chase, are you okay? I’m gonna be okay. I-I think a workout will do me good. Clear my head. I’m really sorry I didn’t give you the reaction you wanted. It’s a conversation that we need to have. And, uh, I always want us to be open and honest with each other, so… I love you. I love you, too.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Excuse me. I need to talk to him. Well, you can’t. Mr. Morgan is awaiting arraignment. But I do have a question for you. Why would an innocent man lie about his alibi? He wouldn’t. Drew’s the one who’s lying. And you expect me to take the word of a career criminal over a U.S. Congressman? Have you seen the people in Congress? And you don’t even have a body. You can’t even prove that Cyrus is dead. Well, it’s possible to get a “no-body” conviction. And given Mr. Morgan’s extensive criminal history, a body’s preferred but not essential, especially when Mr. Morgan told Cyrus that no one would ever find his body, which is exactly what happened. You don’t know if that’s true or not. Look, as I explained to your daughter earlier today — My daughter? Josslyn was here? Yes. Insisting, much like you, that Mr. Morgan is innocent. I told her not to interfere with the police investigation. You’re making a huge mistake. Mr. Morgan had means, opportunity, and a crystal-clear motive. Cyrus killed Sam McCall… the mother of his son. I can’t do anything to stop this, Jason.

It’s not up to you to get me out of this. Don’t get into trouble for me. I can’t. I’m off the case. I’ll tell you something, though. I’m determined to find Cyrus body. Well, you won’t. Or any other evidence. Cyrus was taken out by a pro… one who doesn’t leave tracks. A coerced agent does me no good. I need you completely committed to your job, or you will get people killed or yourself killed. And I would never risk an asset like you. You really think that I would be useful? I do. Josslyn, I am offering you the rarest of opportunities. A chance to make a difference in this world. A chance to challenge yourself like you’ve never been challenged before. But if that’s not something you want, it’s fine. Okay. Good. But whatever you choose, I do ask that you not mention this to your mother or anyone, ever. Okay. Well, then what? Well, then we act like none of this ever happened. And you can go back to college and get your degree in, uh… environmental science, was it?

You really think I’d make a good agent? I’ve been doing this a long time. I haven’t been wrong yet. But I do need an answer from you. Look, either you want to do it or you don’t. And in case it wasn’t obvious, this is a time-sensitive offer. If you say no, I will have to make other arrangements. I’ll do it. You’re sure? Yes. I want to do it. For all of the reasons that you said. But I also want to do it for Dex. He was such a good man and he had a really hard life, but all he wanted to do was help people. So I’ll do it. For both of us. I will work for the WSB. Excellent. You leave tonight. Not an artist, huh? Well, I think this turned out pretty great. Thank you. And…yeah. Your– Yours, too. Okay. Okay. Well, at least it’s not a flipper. [ Laughs ]

[ Gasps ] Whoa!

Whoa.

Mother, leave Gio alone! Why? He’s moved us all with his music. Let’s see what he does with his words. By all means, Gio, speak. Respectfully, Ms. Quartermaine, I think what you’re doing is wrong. Family is family, and you can’t kick somebody out because you don’t like what they’re doing. Olivia: Tracy, Gio is right. Taking the Quartermaine name away from Drew is just gonna hurt Scout. And that’s the last thing any of us should want to do. I disagree. So you’re willing to risk irreparable harm to Scout just to spite Drew? Defending the family name can only help Scout. And as for you, you have no right to weigh in. You’re not a Quartermaine. However, if you were, you’d be a better addition than Drew. Brook Lynn? Hey. Honey, I’m here. What’s wrong? I need your help, Ma. Anything. Chase wants Finn to be our sperm donor. I admit, I — I did not see that one coming. Me neither. [ Sighs ] What should I do? Auntie, I better let you get back to helping your patients instead of just helping me. You know me. I’m the champion multitasker. Oh, you’re more than that. You’re a miracle worker. Thank you so much for contacting Congressman Henderson on my behalf. I know that I got one shot to make my case about Drew, and, I promise you, I’ll make it count. Stella the citizen is very proud of you. Well, what about my Aunt Stella? She’s worried that Drew is gonna retaliate once he finds out that you’re behind all this. Yeah. That’s what he does. But I know you’re not asking me to walk away from a fight because I might get hurt. [ Sighs ] I wouldn’t waste my breath. Good, because you and Mama always taught me to stand up for what’s right. Taking down Drew Quartermaine? Both: It’s the right thing to do. No. No questions. I’m just sorry Carly was so determined to protect Jason at your expense. Thank you for saying that. And thank you for having faith in me. It means… more to me than you know. What really gets me is Carly’s assumption that you’re manipulating me. [ Drew Scoffs ] I mean, she has every reason to disapprove of our relationship, but that is just insulting. Well, of course she believes that I’m manipulating you because in Carly’s world there’s no possible chance that you and Michael could have just grown apart. Which makes no sense, because that is what happened. And you and I have this… connection. I feel the same way. I don’t have to pretend with you. You accept me, flaws and all. Carly acts like you stole me from Michael. But I am my own person. I make my own choices. And anybody that knows you knows that. I will always regret how Michael found out about us. But I choose you… completely. And I choose you. And now I want the world to know it. The kids and I would love to move in with you.

Diane: A.D.A. Turner, here’s the court order that I know you’ve been expecting. Now, would you please release my client immediately? Yeah. I’ll just look this over first. Of course, you should know that Judge Green agrees with me that the state has no case. We’ll have one by trial. Oh, you gonna make one up? [ Chuckles ] Alright, well, obviously, I will be filing a motion to dismiss at the arraignment. Of course, you will. Take Mr. Morgan and process him out. He’s free to go. For now. Carly: Wait. Everything’s gonna be fine. Damn right it is.

[ Anna sighs ]

Thank God that’s over. Well, it’s not over, Carly, ’cause we still don’t know who killed Cyrus. Who cares who killed Cyrus? We’re all better off without him. Seriously. Why should the police waste their time and resources to find his killer? Because whoever killed Cyrus set Jason up to take the fall. And if A.D.A. Turner finds Cyrus’ body first, then Jason’s gonna be back in here in a heartbeat. Alright. What are we gonna do? Hopefully, you’re gonna do nothing. I’m gonna find out who they are and stop them. Because if they went to all this trouble to set Jason up, they’re not going to stop.
