Sam: Wow. [ Laughs ]

Scout:  I had so much fun, Mommy! Thank you for taking me to my swim lesson.

Sam: You’re welcome. You did so good, sweetie.

Scout: Did you see me do the butterfly?

Sam: I did.

Scout: Daddy said it’s getting better.

Sam: Well, I think he’s right. You’re doing great. It’s good.

Scout: Mommy, I miss Daddy.

Sam: I know, sweetie. I miss him, too.

Scout: We can miss him together.

Sam: Yeah. Come here.

Gladys: Oh, that just breaks my heart.

Sam: Yeah, I bet it does.

Salon worker: May I help you, sir?

Cody: No. Uh, thank you, though. Hi, Ms. Miller? Yeah, your assistant let me know where to find you.

Diane: Well, that’s the last personal information she’s going to give out about me.

Cody: Are you still Sasha Gilmore’s lawyer?

Diane: Mr. Bell, this is neither the time —

Cody: Listen, I just — I just needed to let you know that I will not be pressing charges, and I won’t cooperate with the PCPD if they go after Sasha.

---

[ Door opens ]

Mandy: Good morning.

Sasha: Good morning.

[ Door clangs shut ]

Mandy: I hope you slept better last night, Sasha.

Sasha: I’m sorry. I — I can’t remember your name.

Mandy: I’m Mandy. How are you feeling this morning?

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Um, confused. A little scared to be here.

Mandy: It’s not unusual.

Sasha: I-I feel like I am missing something important. Like I’ve — I’ve lost a-a chunk of time.

Mandy: Let me get you some water and maybe some breakfast.

Sasha: I think what would help is if I could talk to my guardian. My mother-in-law.

Mandy: Let me see if I can get in touch with her.

Sasha: Thank you so much.

---

Nina: Hi, my name is Nina Reeves, and I’m calling about your venue for my wedding. Um… no, we haven’t actually picked out a date, but we were thinking Valentine’s Day.

---

Sonny: Thanks for meeting me.

Brick: Always. Always good to see you. You know that.

Sonny: Yeah. So, you got something good for me?

Brick: I always have something. We’ll see how good it is.

---

Nina: Thank you. Uh, I-I will be in touch.  [ Chuckling ] Okay, bye. Ohh, okay, planning this wedding, I think, is going to drive me crazy.

Olivia: Really, Nina?

Nina: Oh. I’m so sorry, Olivia. I know that you’re dealing with so much more with Ned. I — I’m sure that he’s going to come out of this.

Olivia: Well, he’s not out of it now. My husband is running all over town all night. I have no idea where he is or what he’s doing.

Nina: Yeah, but when things like this happen, sometimes it’s just —

Olivia: Things like this? Things like my husband thinks he’s Eddie Maine?

Nina: But the bottom line is, Ned — he loves you.

Olivia: Yeah. Sonny loved Carly, and now he’s marrying you.

---

Gladys: I remember you. You were shopping for dresses at Logan’s.

Scout: You had that pretty coat on you didn’t want me to touch.

Gladys: Well, kid… [Chuckles] I mean, it was couture.

Sam: Oh, my god.  Come on. Let– let’s take a picture by the pool so we can show your dad when we visit.

Gladys: Oh, it must be so hard. How are you doing with your Daddy in the slammer?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sam: You know what, Scout? Why don’t you go over to the chair and grab a snack out of the bag? I’ll be there in a minute, okay?

---

Spencer: I’ll get it.

[ Knock on door ]

Valentin: Morning, Spencer. May I come in?

Spencer: Why are you alone? Where’s my grandmother and Kevin?

Valentin: They’re still looking for your father.

---

Anna: Where do you stand with the WSB?

Robert: [ Irish accent ] Ah, top of the mornin’ to you, too, lass.

Anna: Oh. Good morning.  Where do you stand with the WSB?

Robert: [ Normal voice ] Well… since I became DA, I’ve had very little contact with them. Anyone that was there during my era has either been fired, put out to pasture, transferred — y-you name it.

Anna: Don’t you think it’s suspicious?

Robert: [ Chuckles ] I think anything to do with The Bureau is suspicious — in particular, their arresting you for treason.

Anna: Yeah, well, I mean, that’s over now.

Robert: Is it?

---

Nina: I didn’t realize that you were still so upset.

Olivia: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to come out like that, okay? But it must have occurred to you that your situation with Sonny, where he fell in love with you while he thought he was Mike might cross my mind given my current situation with Ned.

Nina: Yeah, and you still resent the fact that I didn’t tell anyone.

Olivia: I know that it’s in the past, but the whole situation with Sonny is shoving it right back up in my face.

Nina: Well, you know, it’s a little different with Ned, right? He’s here in Port Charles with his family.

Olivia: Yeah, but he doesn’t realize that we are his family. I-I thought, honestly, that this whole thing was gonna be over very quickly, that I would just stick around, I would wait, I would talk to him. I would be with him. Honestly, I look in Ned’s eyes, it’s like he’s not even there.

Nina: Well, you just — you know, you just keep trying, you’ll get through to him.

Olivia: I thought I was making a little progress yesterday. He — he — he asked me to make a breakfast, and he actually asked me to tell him a little bit about my past, and so I did.

Nina: Sounds like progress.

Olivia: No, but — but it wasn’t Ned. It was Eddie, and Ned already knows all of the things that I told him. Eddie — pbht. No.

Nina: Okay, you just take one step at a time.

Olivia: He was out again all night last night. I didn’t even bother to check to see if he came home in the morning. For all I know, he’s out there falling in love with some other woman, just like Sonny fell in love with you.

---

Brick: We’ll start with the little fish.

Sonny: Good.

Brick: I’m sure you recognize her.

Sonny: Ava’s favorite nanny.

Brick: Betty Rutherford, 26, no criminal record. She actually worked as a nanny briefly.

Sonny: I’m not surprised about the “briefly.”

Brick: [ Chuckles ] She also worked as a receptionist at a trucking company. Would you like to venture a guess as to where that was?

Sonny: Pautuck.

Brick: Bingo.

---

Sam: What the hell is wrong with you?

Gladys: Oh. What? Hey, her dad’s in prison. She needs to learn the world is not always a safe place.

Sam: I will decide what my daughter needs to learn and when, and if you say another word to Scout, I will throw your ass in that pool so fast you will not know what happened.

Gladys: Okay, all right. Maybe I got carried away. I mean, being here is really bringing back the horrible memory of Sasha stabbing Cody.

Sam: [ Scoffs ]

Gladys: The look in her eyes was… she wanted to kill him.

Sam: I don’t believe it for a minute. What really happened that day, Gladys?

Gladys: Well, after she stabbed him?

Sam: No, before. Who drove her to do something like that?

---

[ Knock on door ]

Sasha: Did you get in touch with Gladys?

Mandy: I called the contact number your mother-in-law left on your admission form, but unfortunately, I got voicemail.

Sasha: Did you leave a message?

Mandy: I did. I said you were asking for her.

Sasha: Thank you, Mandy.

Mandy: Is there anyone else you’d like me to call?

Sasha: Yes, please. Cody Bell.

---

Cody: Ms. Miller, did you hear anything that I just said?

Diane: Loud and clear.

Cody: Okay, well, Sasha shouldn’t be in Ferncliff, and I will not do anything or say anything to help keep her in there.

Diane: Okay, Mr. Bell. At the risk of sacrificing the one hour I have to myself today, I will engage. But you’ve got to settle.

Cody: Okay, yeah. I’m — listen, I’m sorry for barging in here like that. Please don’t fire your assistant. It’s just Sasha needs help as soon as possible.

Diane: And you don’t think she’s gonna get that help at Ferncliff?

Cody: Yes. N-no. [ Stammers ] Something is wrong about everything that’s going on with her. And the look in her eyes when she… stabbed —

Diane: Allegedly stabbed you.

Cody: Yes. That wasn’t Sasha. At least not the Sasha I know. Something else is going on, and I’m really worried about her safety.

Diane: What do you mean? And you got to give me something specific.

Cody: And I will give you something specific as soon as you get me into Ferncliff to see Sasha.

---

Spencer: What happened in Chechnya?

Valentin: We found the Cassadine house, and there was a new owner and there was no sign of Nikolas anywhere.

Spencer: And you just left them there?

Valentin: No, no. We left Chechnya for Prague, and that’s where Kevin and Laura decided they wanted to continue the search on their own.

Spencer: Where?

Valentin: Cassadine Island, but there was no trace of Nikolas there, either.

Esme: Maybe you can’t find him because he’s dead.

---

Anna: We can’t talk to Frisco because he left the bureau.

Robert: And the person who’s replaced him thinks that the way to clear up the bureau image is to fire everyone.

Anna: By disgracing and then distancing themselves from so many former agents.

Robert: ‘Tis the way of bureaucracy, my dear.

Anna: Erase the past. Just convince everyone that it was all bad, and then it makes the new regime seem so much better. At least that was the impression that I got when I was in London after the whole Greenland fiasco.

Robert: The late, not-lamented Victor.

Anna: [ Sighs ] You know, the debriefing — it was… just so weird. Like, the entire process. I-it was orchestrated in a manner that I-I just didn’t recognize. It just all felt so alien to me, and I’ve been debriefed more times than I care to count.

Robert: And this is the only reason you came charging in here?

Anna: No, there’s another reason. What do you know about Pikeman?

---

Valentin: Good morning, Esme. And good morning to you, Ace. Wow, he is getting big, isn’t he?

Esme: Do you think his father could be dead?

Valentin: I’ve seen no evidence that Nikolas is dead.

Spencer: Well, we don’t seem to have any indication that he’s alive, either.

Valentin: That is true, also.

Spencer: He’s just hiding the same way that he did when he had us convinced that you had killed him. I spent three years grieving that man.

Esme: Look, Spencer, we — we don’t know if —

Spencer: Don’t you see that this is just what he does? He makes a mess of his life, and then he runs away from it, and he has certainly made a mess this time, getting his son’s girlfriend pregnant.

Valentin: You think he’d abandon Ace?

Spencer: Well, he abandoned me, didn’t he? That’s who our father is. He’s a coward. My grandmother’s off searching for him. She’d be better off just coming home, not wasting time. He’s better off gone for me and for my brother.

---

Dr. Montague: Mandy, in the future, could you please consult me before you make any calls for Ms. Gilmore?

Mandy: Of course, Dr. Montague.

Dr. Montague: Thank you. Hello, Sasha.

Sasha: Hi, Dr. Montague.

Mandy: I thought I could maybe help Ms. Gilmore get more comfortable and remove her restraints.

Dr. Montague: I think that’s a good idea.

Sasha: Oh. Thank you.

Dr. Montague: Is that better, Sasha?

Sasha: Yes.

Dr. Montague: Good. Thank you, Mandy.

Mandy: I’ll be back later, Sasha.

Sasha: I-I hope she’s not in trouble for calling my mother-in-law.

Dr. Montague: No, no, of course not. But I’m curious, why did you ask to speak to Cody Bell?

Sasha: Cody is my friend. He has helped me before.

Dr. Montague: Under the circumstances, you didn’t think that would be awkward?

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Because I’m in this place?

Dr. Montague: Because you tried to kill him.

---

Diane: I appreciate your desire to help her. But even if I thought this was a good idea, I have no power to authorize a visit to Ferncliff. Only her guardian can do that.

Cody:  Oh. All right. Well, I’ll find another way ’cause Gladys wouldn’t lift a finger for me. And I wouldn’t trust her if she did.

---

Gladys: How dare you accuse me of doing something to hurt my daughter-in-law.

Sam: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. I didn’t accuse you of anything. Unless, of course, you think there was a reason I should, then…

Gladys: Of course not. But after you grilled me in the fitting room about my relationship with Selina Wu, it was crystal clear that you are out to get me.

Sam: No, what’s clear to me and Sasha’s friends is she was perfectly fine and handled a very difficult situation at Home & Heart without a problem. What doesn’t make sense is what happened after.

Gladys: Maybe it would make sense if you paid more attention to your “friend” Sasha and less to snooping around about me.

---

Brick: Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt, 48, no criminal record. Graduate of New York State University Buffalo and Great Northern Medical School. Came to Port Charles soon after delivering Maxie Jones’ baby, in the woods, no less. They had a brief relationship. He’s currently dating who?

Sonny: Ava.

Brick: Related to the Quartermaines on his father’s side.

Sonny: Edward’s bastard son, Jimmy Lee Holt, was his father.

Brick: We can move on to this guy.

Sonny: I met him. Then he got whacked.

---

Nina: The little I know of Eddie, he doesn’t seem like the type that would go out and fall in love with someone.

Olivia: Great, maybe he could cut a swath of one-night stands through Port Charles. Wouldn’t that be great? Don’t think that that hasn’t crossed my mind.

Nina: Listen, Olivia, if Sonny and I are causing you to overthink things, we can just keep a low profile.

Olivia: Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. No, no, no. This is my problem, not your problem. I have to deal with it, and I will. [ Chuckles ] You know… Leo actually likes Eddie.

[ Both chuckle ]

Olivia: And then he asks me where his father is, and I don’t know what to tell him, and it breaks my heart.

Nina: Maybe you should go home, Olivia. I could take care of things here.

Olivia: No. Brook Lynn is taking Leo to class and she’s taking him to the stables, and Tracy can drive someone else crazy today. I came here so I could get my mind off all things Quartermaine and Eddie Maine, and… and I think that I have found the perfect thing to focus on to get my mind off of it.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] The books?

Olivia: I’m gonna plan your wedding.

---

Sam: Wow. Why are you so paranoid, Gladys? I think if I did some real snooping, I’d find some big trouble.

Gladys: [ Sighs ] All I’ve ever done is try to take care of Sasha. She’s family to me.

Sam: Right.

Gladys: You know what? I saw the look on your face at the hospital when Sasha wanted my guardianship rescinded. You thought it was a good idea.

Sam: Yeah, I certainly did.

Gladys: Can you not see that my love and concern is exactly what Sasha needed? Look what ended up happening.

Sam: According to witness testimony, she had no idea what happened.

Gladys: [ Sighs ] That’s my point. You and all the rest of her so-called friends thought she was fine. I was the only one who saw the truth. I was the one who wanted to take care of her.  Her friends couldn’t see it because some people managed to conceal their feelings and hide what’s really going on.

Sam: Oh, there you go. I think you’re — I think you’re right about one thing. Some people are really good at hiding things. Sasha isn’t one of them.

Gladys: You know what? That’s ’cause you don’t know her the way I do. And you never will.

Sam: Hmm.

---

Sasha: I already told you, I don’t remember stabbing Cody.

Dr. Montague: But you did stab him, Sasha. In front of a lot of people. You very nearly killed him.

Sasha: [ Sighs ] I guess that’s why I’m in here.

Dr. Montague: Yes. To get the help you need. So, why don’t we start with what you do remember?

Sasha: Everything was going well. I mean, some days were more difficult than others, like when someone tried to upset me on Home & Heart. But I handled it, and I was proud of myself for being able to handle it.

Dr. Montague: But it’s clear now that you weren’t dealing with it.

Sasha: I was. I think it started happening after I took those pills you prescribed me. I-I took them for a few days, and — and I-I started to feel groggy and paranoid and… and I started hallucinating a-and hearing voices.

Dr. Montague: The pills I gave you weren’t causing your hallucinations, Sasha. And they aren’t what caused your violent behaviors.

Sasha: But I was fine before I started taking them.

Dr. Montague: Sasha. We found these in your purse. It’s what caused you to try to kill Cody Bell.

---

Nina: Are you sure you’re thinking clear– I mean, you… you don’t think this is gonna be too painful for you?

Olivia: I love Sonny. We have an amazing son, a spectacular grandson. I want him to be happy. And you seem to make him happy.

Nina: What about Carly?

Olivia: She’s my best friend. That ain’t gonna change. And deep down, I think she wants Sonny to be happy, too. Even if we aren’t on the best terms right now.

Nina: Oh.

Olivia: She still believes that Ned turned her and Drew in and got Drew sent to prison.

---

Brick: Gordon Stevens, 52. You met him?

Sonny: Briefly. Took him for an ex-con.

Brick: Good eye. Five years in Pentonville for grand larceny. No wife, no kids, no family. Worked for a trucking company in…

Sonny: Pautuck.

Brick: And finally, we have this guy. Mason Gatlin.

---

Valentin:  Well, I’m sorry that I-I couldn’t bring better news for all three of you. What do you say, Ace? You remember me? Can I hold him?

Esme:  Yeah.

Valentin:  Spent a lot of time together in Greenland, didn’t we? Good for you, Spencer. Not every brother would step up the way you have.

Spencer: Well, it’s not Ace’s fault that our father’s a coward.

Valentin:  You’re doing a good job. Look at you. After everything we went through in Greenland, you’re still a happy and well-loved young man, aren’t you?

Esme’s taken a lot of the responsibility. She’s determined to make sure that Ace has everything that he wants. She’s a good mother.

Esme: Thank you, Spencer. Although I can’t quite figure out how to give him a bath without winding up drenched myself, so… [ Chuckles ]

Valentin:  You’ll figure it out. Ace, you are a credit to your brother and your mother, aren’t you?

[ Ace coos ]

---

Robert: Pikeman is an independent defense contractor. Been around forever. But then again, you should know that. So what are you really asking me?

Walsh: I’d like to ask you about the Greenland incident. Before you arrived here in London, I went over several reports about Greenland, and I have a few questions.

Anna: Yes, of course. Whatever you need.

Walsh: What possessed you to go rogue, run interference, and ignore the very specific mandate Agent Hursley gave you?

Anna: Well, with all due respect to Agent Hursley —

Walsh: You provided him no respect whatsoever.

Anna: I have to be honest with you. He didn’t seem to grasp the fact that people’s lives were at stake and that there were extenuating circumstances.

Walsh: There always is, Ms. Devane. Particularly with you. It says here that after your arrival, you sought out Valentin Cassadine. As you’re well aware, the bureau has been keeping track of him for several years, and there appears to be a discrepancy in your reporting on pages 6 and 12.

Robert: Anna. Earth to Anna. Why are you talking about Pikeman?

Anna: Oh, I’m sure it’s nothing. Thank you. You’ve been very helpful.

Robert: I didn’t do anything.

---

Nina: Carly blames Ned for what happened to drew?

Olivia: Carly came to the hospital when Ned was in the ICU. We didn’t know if he was gonna make it. I was a complete wreck and I bit her head off. But it seemed like she still believed that Ned did it, and I know that he didn’t. You know, before this whole thing went down, Ned swore to me that it wasn’t him, and I believe him, Nina. Somebody else turned in Carly and Drew.

Nina: And you haven’t spoken to her since?

Olivia: No, I haven’t. I don’t know what she believes now, but you know what? We’re gonna get through it. She and I have been through a lot worse.

Nina: Well, Olivia, if you’re sure about this, yeah, Sonny and i would be honored if you want to help us plan our wedding. Yes, um, I-I called a couple of venues, and —

Olivia: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m gonna stop you right there.

---

Brick: Again, no criminal record. Austin’s cousin on his mother’s side, a trucker, worked for the family business.

Sonny: The same business that Betty and Gordon worked for?

Brick: Oh, are you doing my job for me now?

Sonny: Well… you think he’s the biggest fish?

Brick: So far. Company was bought two years ago through a very well-hidden LLC. No record of his “occupation” since.

Sonny: Blackmail.

---

Valentin: All right, buddy. Your cousin charlotte and i are not gonna be strangers. I promise you that, Ace.

Spencer: Listen, I haven’t had the chance to thank you yet for Greenland.

Valentin: No, you don’t have to thank me.

Spencer: No, if you hadn’t shown up… Uncle Victor was gonna use that pathogen on me and Trina, and I wouldn’t have been able to face losing her.

Valentin: Oh, we all did what we had to do.

Spencer: I’m trying to say thank you, and I’m trying to tell you that I was wrong about you.

Valentin: No, you weren’t. Spencer, my father’s dead. Nikolas is gone. We Cassadines have a rare opportunity to reinvent our family.

Spencer: You think?

Valentin: Yeah. You, Ace, Alexis, her daughters — you’re good people.

Spencer: Well, I’m not sure that i deserve to be included in that, but, uh, I’ll keep my nose clean if you will.

---

Robert: And Mr. Bell sought you out?

Diane: He did indeed, and I did not engage. Okay, well, I engaged a little bit, but only after he made his intentions perfectly clear.

Robert: And?

Diane: And he is not going to press charges against my client, Sasha Gilmore, and he steadfastly refuses to cooperate in any police investigation into the matter.

Robert: She stabbed him.

Diane: Allegedly.

Robert: In front of witnesses.

Diane: Robert, he’s not going to press charges and he’s not going to cooperate. You have no case. So I request that all charges against Sasha Gilmore be dropped immediately.

Robert: I’ll talk to the ADA.

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Robert: Uh… you didn’t come all this way to tell me that.

Diane: No, I didn’t. I came to invite you to the Port Charles auto show this weekend.

Robert: I love the car shows.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Robert: It’s a date.

Diane: No, no, no, no. It’s not a date. It is simply two colleagues going to look at cars because you need a new one desperately.

Robert: I love my car. I’ve had it forever.

Diane: Precisely my point. It’s not good to hold on to things forever, unless, of course, you like being stranded by the side of the road.

Robert: Oh, well, not particularly.

Diane: Mm-hmm. And that’s what happens. You hold on to something forever, and you get stranded by the side of the road again and again and again. Whereas a new model, very dependable, could also be exciting. Of course, you never know until you try.

---

Walsh:  It says here that after your arrival, you sought out Valentin Cassadine.

Anna: We can’t talk to Frisco because he left the bureau.

Robert: And the person who’s replaced him thinks that the way to clear up the bureau image is to fire everyone.

Sonny: I’ve been working with a high-powered security firm lately. You know, you ever heard of Pikeman?

Walsh:  You sought out Valentin Cassadine.

---

Sonny:  Okay, go ahead.

Anna:  You’re not to speak to anyone new. If your contact person is to change, do not proceed until you’ve spoken to your original contact first. Does that make sense?

Sonny:  Yeah.

Anna:  [ Exhales deeply ]

---

Sam: Hi, uh, my name is Sam McCall. I was hoping I could visit my friend Sasha Gilmore today.

Janice: Only approved visitors are allowed to see Ms. Gilmore.

Sam: Approved?

Janice: Yes, you would have to have the permission from her guardian, Gladys Corbin.

---

Nina: If you change your mind about helping Sonny and me with the wedding, I completely understand.

Olivia:  No, no, no, I haven’t changed my mind about anything. What is this crazy talk about other venues? There is only one venue, and you and I own it.

Nina: Olivia, don’t you think that people are going to —

Olivia:  People — people are gonna what?  They’re gonna read all about the preparations on every website known to man. They’re gonna be dying to have the wedding here. They’re gonna bring in all kinds of business. Come on, Nina. You can’t possibly be selfish enough to deny the Metro Court all that free publicity, not to mention the fact that you will have a beautiful, spectacular wedding yourself.

Nina: Well, yeah. As co-owner of the Metro Court, I guess that makes sense.

Olivia:  Yeah, if you had your wedding anywhere else, everyone would wonder why, and there would be cancellations all over the place. It can’t happen. It can’t happen, okay?

Nina: Okay. Okay.

Olivia:  So when’s the date?

Nina: Well, we haven’t picked an exact date, but we were thinking Valentine’s Day.

Olivia:  Oh, ooh, la, la. Romantic. Uh, it’s a great idea. Uh, several months away. I could plan Harry and Meghan’s wedding in less time.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nina: Thank you.

---

Brick: This bastard’s blackmailing you?

Sonny: Ava.

Brick: Because of the connection to his cousin? Why don’t we just take all three of them out and be done with it?

Sonny: Can’t. ‘Cause he has Nikolas Cassadine’s body.

Brick: So he didn’t run. He’s dead.

Sonny: Ava killed him. But she says it was an accident.

Brick: Wait a minute. So he has her ex-husband’s body?

Sonny: I got to protect her because she’s the mother of my child, so we can’t do anything until we get the body back. Hands off. He lives until we get that body back.

---

Esme: Is Valentin gone?

Spencer: Yeah.

Esme: Oh, well, I wanted him to see Ace’s new outfit. Oh, well. Next time. He liked you, huh, Ace? He didn’t seem so bad.

Spencer: He’s not.

Esme: It was kind of you to say that I’m a good mother.

Spencer: You are.

Esme: It’s just nice to hear. Guess it’s not hard to be a good mother to this guy. Sometimes I think I couldn’t love him more, and yet every day, I do. Maybe it’s ’cause you get cuter every day, huh?

Spencer: That’s true. You are a very good-looking kid, little brother.

Esme: [ Chuckles ] Why don’t we take some pictures?

Spencer: Yeah, sure. Can never have too many of those, right?

Esme: Very true. [ Chuckles ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Spencer: That’s a really sweet smile in that one. Maybe we send this one to Grandmother?

Esme: Yeah.

Spencer: Actually, Ace, we probably just send all these to Grandma. She’ll love to see you.

[ Chuckles ]

---

Sasha: No, no, those aren’t mine. I-I haven’t been using. Someone must have planted them in my purse.

Dr. Montague: But you know exactly what these are, don’t you, Sasha?

Sasha: I stopped taking them.

Dr. Montague: Your blood work says otherwise. You’ve been taking these for months.

Sasha: No, no, no, n– I went through rehab. I beat my addiction.

Dr. Montague: You must know how common relapses are. It’s nothing to be ashamed about.

Sasha: But I didn’t take them.

Dr. Montague: Sasha, if I’m going to help you, I need to deal with the facts that I have. And you need to accept them, too. We need to get those drugs out of your system, and this will do just that.

---

Cody:  Hi.

Janice: Can I help you?

Cody:  Uh, yes, I’m here to see Sasha Gilmore.

Janice: What’s your name? I’ll need to make sure you’re on the list of approved visitors.

Cody:  I’m sure I’ll be on the list. Sasha was married to my — my late cousin, Brando Corbin. I’m Dante Falconeri.

Janice: Sasha talked about her husband, Brando.

Cody:  Yeah, his, uh — his death was a blow to all of us, really, but particularly for Sasha, obviously. That’s why my family’s really worried about her. Can I please see her?

---

Brick: You take good care of your exes, that’s for sure. First, you make sure to protect Carly’s new beau in prison. Now Ava. What’s next?

Nina: Hey, Brick, Sonny.

Brick: Hey, gorgeous.

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Brick: And another gorgeous.

Olivia: [ Chuckling ] Hey, Brick.

Nina: Everything all right?

Brick: It will be.

Sonny: How come it seems like you guys have been up to something?

Nina: Well, Olivia graciously agreed to help us plan our wedding here at the Metro Court.

Sonny: Really? You know, that — that means a lot to me, Olivia.

Brick: You live a charmed life, my man.

---

Janice: If I could just see your driver’s license, Mr. Falconeri.

Cody: Uh, yeah. I must have left it in the car.

Janice: I’m sorry. No one gets in to see Ms. Gilmore without the consent of her guardian. If you want to run back to your car and get it, visiting hours are until 7:00 P.M.

Cody: Yeah, no, I-I parked pretty far away.

Mandy: But, Janice, he’s family. A cousin-in-law.

Janice: But it wouldn’t matter if he were her brother. Ms. Gilmore’s guardian was very specific.

Cody: Yeah, I bet she was.

Mandy: Isn’t it time for your break, Janice? I can cover the front desk for you.

Janice: I couldn’t ask you to do that. I’m sure you have patients to check on.

Mandy: Always do. See you later.

Cody: I’m sure you can understand how concerned we are about Sasha.  Really, I just need a few minutes.

Janice: I think I made it pretty clear what you would need, Mr. Falconeri. I’m sorry. I have to follow the rules. The only way you’re getting in here is if you have an id or you’re a patient.

Cody: Have a nice day.

Janice: I intend to.

Scout: What’s wrong, Mommy?

Sam: Nothing’s wrong, sweetie.

Scout: You have that look on your face.

Sam: Hey, what look?

Scout: The look you get when I’m in trouble. Did I do something bad?

Sam: No, sweetie. Come here. You didn’t do anything wrong. Someone else did.

Gladys: No, it’s not “too young” for me.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Gladys: Everything okay?

Dr. Montague: Yes, I have everything under control.

Gladys: How’s my daughter-in-law?

Dr. Montague: Oh, don’t you worry. She’s doing just fine.

Sasha: [ Breathing shakily ] [ Shivering ] Please… I don’t want to be here.[ Crying ] I want to go home.

---

Diane: Oh, you suddenly don’t seem too enthused about the prospect. Never mind. I’ll take Alexis.

Robert: Alexis doesn’t appreciate cars.

Diane: Right, but she appreciates spending time with me. Adios.

[ Door opens ]

Anna: Valentin linked to Sonny. Sonny connected to Pikeman. What is Valentin’s link?

[ Door closes ]

Valentin: Hey, what’s going on?

Anna: I think I know who shot at me. And I think you know them, too.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Brook Lynn (to Cody): When you say it like that, it sounds like somethin’ shady’s goin’ on.

Martin: You sure you made the right decision?

Anna: Are you keeping something from me?

Elizabeth (to Finn): Are you having second thoughts about this?

Cyrus: Just tell me you did it as I asked.

Tracy:  It’s time to have Ned committed.

Sasha: I never meant to hurt you!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I l nurse baldwin, I have a very important message for you. What is it? Michael: What’s a guy gotta do to get a drink around here? Keep your shirt on, buddy. Are you sure you’re okay here in enemy camp? According to josslyn, charlie’s is a “sonny/nina hangout.”

[ Knock on door ]

[ Clears throat ] Nina. I’m so sorry. I should have called ahead of time, but I was — um, I was driving home, and there was harbor view road, and I just thought, “well, maybe willow may need something.” And I know that michael is back in the office — nina, it’s okay. Don’t — don’t worry about it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Would you like to come in? Yes. Very much. Can you make sure that dr. Finn gets this?

[ Elevator bell dings ] Deanna: Oh, dr. Finn. I knew sonny didn’t trust me that night. And now my patient is dead in an alleyway? Sonny’s never gonna let me near avery again. You know what he’s going to do — sonny’s not gonna do anything, because I told him that you helped me. You what? Wait. You what? That I helped you… ava, that I helped you do what? Did you tell sonny that you [Whispers] Killed nikolas? Excuse me, dr. Gatlin. Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were with…a patient? Oh, no, ava’s — ava’s visiting. Okay, well, I don’t want to interrupt. [ Chuckles ] Actually, ava, I-I’ve been meaning to ask you, have you heard anything from nikolas? How you doing?

[ Scoffs ] I’m sorry. It’s just like this house is like the first circle of hell.

[ Sighs ] It was my prison camp, you know, where stavros held me captive for those two years. I…hated it then. I hate it now. Me, too.

[ Chuckles ] Whatever we find in there, I’m right beside you. I know you are. That helps more than you know. Okay. Right. Um, I never wanted to step foot inside this house again, but it is our best shot at finding nikolas, so let’s do it. Let’s do it. Okay. I thought you’d never get here. Oh, valentin. Oh! Oh!

---

Good news? The best. Nikolas? No, I have not heard from nikolas. And, honestly, I don’t expect to. Elizabeth: Oh. Well, I hope kevin and laura find him. I mean, you know I’ve known him for a long time, and he’s gone awol before. But this is weird, with his baby just being born? I mean, what could be more important? So, nurse baldwin, is there something that I can help you with? Oh, right. Yeah. I’m sorry. I wanted to know if detective chase found you earlier. Detective chase? Yeah, he was questioning people about the man who was murdered in the alley. I was just wondering if there were any leads. He did find me, yeah. Was that your idea? Only because I saw someone lurking outside your office. And that man found the body — dex heller? Yeah, uh, detective chase mentioned that a member of staff had seen dex outside my office, so… maybe I’m reading too much into it, but dex had said that he just got lost, but he — he was definitely snooping. Gotcha. Thank you so much for stopping by and telling me all this. Yeah. I appreciate it. Oh. Um, alright. Sorry to — sorry to interrupt. Dex heller. That’s one of sonny’s goons. Standard order — extra crispy fries for wiley? Uh, yeah. No dressing on willow’s salad. I mean, I get it. She’s obviously gonna side with carly. It’s her mom, right? But it’s just, they’re divorced, you know? Get over it. Barb. Alright. Um, kristina, how over it would you be if the situation was reversed and alexis thought that sonny was dead for months, and then you discover that it was a vendetta of nina’s that kept sonny from his family? And all the while, you’re watching your mother fall into chaos. You’d be a little shocked that sonny chose nina over his family. Hey, I was there, too, okay? We all mourned dad, and it was a miracle to discover he was still alive. And, yes, nina was wrong, but dad loves her, so who am I to judge? The heart wants what the heart wants, right? Isn’t that what happened with you and willow? Wiley is up with leo, bug hunting, and it’s amelia’s late-afternoon nap, so I have been trying to amuse myself. Oh. Is this — is this what you’ve been doing? It’s, uh… it’s horrible.

[ Laughs ] No. I think I made a wrong turn with the pattern.

[ Laughs ] I figured I’d try to learn something new as a way to keep busy. But, to be honest, all I can think about is getting back to the real world. Yeah. I was starting to think I’d never leave that plastic bubble room.

[ Both chuckle ] Yeah. Well, it must be hard, all the time that you lost waiting. It’s hardest on the kids. I want to be there for michael, too. It’S…

[ Sighs ] I want my life back.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, and you, um — you deserve it.

[ Chuckles ] You know, willow, I know that we, uh — we’ve had a lot of false starts and miscommunication, but I’m hoping that we can truly start over. There’s so much about you that I don’t know. I’d love to learn about your life. What you love, who you are. Will — will you tell me? I’ve managed many exclusive properties, though, I admit, none as unique as this one. Both interpol and the wsb made a thorough search in may. Mr. Cassadine certainly wasn’t here then. They didn’t find anyone. And he couldn’t have come since? Well, naturally, I cannot be everywhere all at once, but I truly doubt it. Uh, you may make your own search. I understand you’re very concerned for your son. Thank you, mr. Kostas. Of course. Alright. Where to first? Why didn’t you tell me you were getting back? How did it go over there? Did you find nikolas? You first. Who tried to kill you?

---

Honestly, nina, what I wish for more than anything else is to just have a normal life. Yeah. All those million little mundane things like going shopping or taking wiley to school.

[ Chuckles ] That’s what I want.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe taking a mommy-and-me class with amelia. Oh, my god. That sounds like so much fun. I think you should definitely sign up for a class like that. I wish I would have taken — what else? Uh…really, I just want my independence back. I mean, the quartermaines have been such a support — you know, brook lynn, olivia, even tracy. And thank god, because I still have a long way to go. But it will be a relief when michael and i won’t need so much help. Yeah. Speaking of michael, I’m surprised he’s not here right now. He must be stuck at a work thing. Oh. Well, uh, if he’s not gonna make it for dinner, I could order us something. You know? From the metro court? I’ve got some pull. It could be here in like 20 minutes.

[ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ] Michael: Nina? I… michael. I, um — I was just driving home, and I stopped in for an impromptu visit.

[ Stammers ] Dinner, right? And I-I don’t want it to get cold, so I’ll just, uh, I’ll — I’ll leave now.

[ Softly ] I hope you sign up for that class. Bye, nina. Bye.

[ Door closes ] Are you ready to tell me about the shooting? Uh, what’s there to tell, really? Haven’t you read all about it? Yeah, sure. Everything that was fit to print. Now you tell me the bits that weren’T. The worst part is that curtis was hit by a ricochet. We’re sure he wasn’t the target? No. I was talking with sonny, and dante caught a glint of a rifle in an upper-story window, and then two shots were aimed directly at us. So the shooter was aiming at one of you. Which one? Well , here’s something thatwasn’t released to the press. The rifle was traced back to the wsb. There’s nothing in this house that I really ever want to see again. Especially not that room where you were shot.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah. Okay, here’s the bad news.

[ Sighs ] The most likely place for us to look, if nikolas didn’t want to be found, it would be the sub-basement. Sub-basement? The labs — where the labs — where mikkos used to do all of his horrible experiments. It’s where stavros kept lulu. Uh-huh. Maybe it would be better if I went down and searched the lower levels on my own. It might be better for you to stay up here. Oh, no. Absolutely not. No, no. We’re in this together. I’m not gonna stay up here and risk you not coming back. So, whatever — whatever we find, we face together. Alright. Let’s go. Wow. You look… wow. [ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. You look really nice yourself. I’m really glad you came. Well, I didn’t feel like burning the note.

My sweet, sweet angel

---

Do you think maybe sonny had gordon whacked?

[ Laughing ] What? Austin, no one has said “whacked” in, like, 40 years. Fine. Rubbed out? No, no. Iced? It doesn’t — look, it doesn’t matter. Do you think sonny did it? No, I don’t think sonny did it. It would be a stupid move, and sonny is not stupid. Gordon was supposedly your patient. No, you see, that’s the thing. Gordon and mason — known associates, and sonny knew something was up. Well, what exactly happened outside the restaurant when sonny found you with gordon? Not much, really. I mean, gordon was there. Sonny comes in. Gordon knows who sonny is. Sonny does this whole, like,

[As sonny] “It’ll be a shame if anything happened to you, kid” routine,

[Normal voice] And then gordon, he backed off. And then, for some reason, sonny made gordon apologize to me, which I thought was really weird. But I think — I think, in the end, he was just trying to get him to, you know — he was scaring him. Yes! No, I’m sure that’s exactly what it was. Did anything else happen? What, that night? No. But that must have been when sonny decided that dex would follow me, because the next day is when nurse webber saw dex “lurking” outside my office. And did he see anything? Was there anything for dex to see? No. Maybe. I don’t know. Well, gordon and mason were in here waiting for me. Really?! Oh, this keeps getting worse. Just as mr. Kostas said — no sign of anyone. And the wsb turned the place inside out. Well, it certainly seems like it, doesn’t it? But this house has secrets it will never give up. Let’s check the main rooms. Nikolas knows this place like the back of his hand. He could be coming and going in a way that the caretaker doesn’t realize. That is possible, isn’t it? Okay, uh… let’s start on the third floor. That was his nursery when he was a baby. So, the weapon was a ghost gun. It had been confiscated and tagged and logged at a wsb facility in berlin. Then liberated and smuggled into port charles? Mm-hmm. It doesn’t necessarily mean the wsb is currently involved, though. Right. I mean, it could have been sold on the dark web. No, I know. That’s what I think, too. But somebody had to have clearance in order to access that weapon at the wsb facility, right? In the first place. Well, plenty of agents go rogue. Sorry. Well… sonny doesn’t think that it’s the entire bureau that’s after me, you know. It’s one solitary person on the inside that deliberately leaked my history as a double agent in order to eliminate me. So, um…nina. Hope she didn’t do anything to upset you. Oh, no, not at all. I mean, even though it was an ambush drop by, I-I was glad for the company.

[ Inhales deeply ] And she saved me from my project. Project? Oh, okay.

[ Clears throat ] That’s, uh… that’s great. What is that? It is the makings of a sock. Ah. Mm, okay. Something soft for amelia to wear. Unfortunately, I am not the best crafts student. I much prefer my nursing books. No, hey, I-I like it. It’s, uh… it soft. It’s — it’s awful. Okay.

[ Sighs ] I was actually glad nina rescued me from it. So, I wanted to talk to you, actually. Uh… I ran into trish, the hostess from metro court the other day, and she said you were talking to her about my center. I am so sorry. I hope I didn’t speak out of turn. I know your privacy means so much to you, and I would never interfere in your life. No, no, no, no. Nina. You misunderstood. Trish was saying that you were talking up my plans to help the lgbtqia+ youth, and I was very touched by that. It means a lot that you believe in me. Of course I believe in you. And I believe in this project. Did you talk to trish about her brother? Yes. My god. It was so sad. And it made me so angry. Too many kids are discarded and on the fringe of society. Port charles desperately needs a resource like the corinthos-davis house for marginalized and homeless youth. Anyway, thank you for the free pr, and the drink is on me. Oh, you don’t have to thank me. I believe 1,000% in what you’re doing. 1,000%. When sonny told me, I was so — so impressed. Please. I want to help any way that I can. I can’t believe we made it to salads without a single distraction or interruption. And no personal crisis to come crashing down? The sky looks pretty clear. It’s good, ’cause I’ve had my fill of meteors.

[ Both chuckle ] My mother e-mailed me yesterday. The old digital dodge. Yeah, but I’m glad she didn’t call, ’cause I don’t really want to talk to her anyway. Not a surprise after what she and your father did to you. Could you ever imagine doing something like that to violet? Using your medical skills to manipulate her to cover something up? I know I have to get over it. It’s — it’s way in the past. Is it? Well, I guess it hits a raw nerve. But at least it’s all out in the open. The worst is behind me. Yeah, it is. You know the worst part of that whole mess? The person who suffered the most deserved it the least.

---

whatever arrangements victor made to expose my past, he had to have somebody on the inside of the wsb in order to facilitate that. And once you were compromised, someone with their own agenda could take advantage of the situation to get rid of you.

[ Inhales sharply ] I mean, someone could be planning a power grab. You’re a potent adversary at the wsb. How many warring factions are there at the bureau? Perhaps I know something that could pose a threat. You know?

[ Exhales deeply ] Regardless… the person may have thought that making my indiscretions public would have resulted in an arrest. And when it didn’t, when it failed, they moved to plan b, which is to eliminate me permanently. Don’t forget occam’s razor — the right answer is usually the simplest one. My father, victor, despised you. And his parting gift was to attack you where it hurt you the most. Laura: Nothing. Better to rule out every possibility. Yeah, but, look, if nikolas wanted to hide, this is the perfect place for him to do it. The fact that he’s not here makes me think that he hasn’t gone into hiding at all. You think something’s happened to him? Yeah. Something or someone. Victor’s dead. It can’t be him. Who else would want to harm nikolas? I don’t know what sonny’s guy — dex, the lurker — saw, didn’t see. I… gordon and mason,they — they — they weren’t here that long. Gordon was here just long enough to ask mason for a bunch of money. Did mason give it to him? No. Mason said, “you’re gonna get exactly what you’re owed.”

[ Gasps ] Oh. Yeah, see, that’s not threatening at all, is it? Oh. Well, we don’t know for sure. Let me ask you something. Yeah? Do you think that mason is capable of killing someone? Well, he wouldn’t be the only one, would he? You certainly are. That’s an…accident! You hit nikolas over the headwith a marble statue — yeah, that was to stop him, and you know it. Just forget it. Forget it. Well, you stopped him, didn’t you? What did you tell detective chase? Did he ask you if gordon was your patient? Yes. And what did you say? I said yes. Why? What do you mean, why? You don’t even have a file on the guy. Now you’re going to have to fake it. You’re right about that. What else did you tell the cops? Not much. I just said that, you know, gordon found me — confronted me at the restaurant. Oh, at the restaurant. Uh-huh. Where you were with me and nina and sonny corinthos? Yep, that restaurant. Oh, good grief. Austin, y-you are really, really bad at this. You’re later than usual. I got caught up in the weeds at elq.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. So, um, we’re in the middle of a major negotiation that ned started before he turned into eddie maine. And guess who’s still nowhere to be found? Valentin. So, uh, I had to catch up very quickly. Wow. Don’t you ever get tired having to save the day for everyone? Eh, I kind of like showing off. And if ned ever… regains his personality and valentin decides to show his face, it’ll choke them both knowing that I got it done. And, you know, it sets the groundwork for me to step back in if I want to return. Michael, I never knew you had such a devious side. Oh, yeah. It is both impressive and slightly terrifying.

[ Both laugh ] Well… I, uh, have to employ “the art of war” when it comes to those two. You know, it’s good to keep people on their toes. And you do it so well. It is inspiring seeing you thrive at work. It makes me realize how much I miss it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m a little envious. I wish I could go back to my career. You know, nina, uh, I was thinking about what you said, and I just want to tell you something. I will accept any and all help I can get for the corinthos-davis house, but you don’t have to win me over by talking up my charity or contributing to it. My dad’s happiness is my priority, and he loves you, so I’m on your side. Thank you, kristina. That means more to me than you will ever know. Oh, I think I have an idea. And I want to be perfectly clear with you. My support for your charity has everything to do with the work you’re doing. I’m not trying to score any points or gain any favors. I am just so grateful that you’re willing to give me a chance.

[ Chuckles ] Please. Nina, I am the queen of screw-ups.

[ Laughs ] You know who always gave me another chance and always believed in me? My dad. So if he does that for you, then who am I to say he’s wrong? So, what is this? Just two friends having dinner? No. What does that mean? You really want to get into this right now? I mean… it might complicate things between us. I think we know how to deal with complications. We’ve had some practice.

[ Chuckles softly ] Okay? Let’s do this. Let’s get into it. Okay, you first. Name a complication. I dated your sister. Good one. I’m an addict. Recovering, but still an addict. Okay. That’s two for you.

[ Mug clinks ] I’m a loner. Sometimes I don’t like people. Sometimes people don’t like me.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, and I’d rather look under a microscope than at a television screen. Oof, you’re making a strong case. Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ] Your turn. What’s on your list of complications? Okay, well, number one, you dated my sister. We covered that. I love watching tv, and microscopes give me a headache. Okay, so we need a large supply of aspirin on hand.

[ Chuckles ] And… I’m scared. You’re scared? Terrified. That makes two of us. Oh. This… scares me so much, I recently looked into transferring to another hospital. And we’re done.Hm, what about these? Looks right.

---

All I want to do is be a good doctor. Me? I-I took an oath to heal, not to deal. Get it? Yeah, okay. You didn’t have to volunteer extra information. The cops would’ve figured it out eventually, right? Gordon confronted me in a — in a very public place. That restaurant is very popular. And I did great. I told detective chase that gordon was at the restaurant to confront me about his medical bill. And he wanted to negotiate his deductible with a known crime boss sitting right there? Okay, ava, this has got nothing to do with you. You really don’t need to worry. You see, I do worry. Because if I am linked to mason, people could start poking around. And who knows what they might uncover. They’re not going to uncover anything because I’m not going to say anything. You’re definitely not going to say anything. And we’re being very careful. And the only other person that knows anything about this is mason, and he’s not — um… yeah, ava, so question from before. S-sonny. Did you tell him that you killed nikolas? My father hated you… and everything you stood for, because it was everything he wasn’T. Hmm. He’d lost all humanity. Plus, you ruined his greatest weapon. Me. Don’t say that. You would never have been his weapon. I think I could’ve been, if it weren’t for you. He shot you the night of the nurses’ ball to hurt me and to destroy you. Well, he was deluded. You would never have joined him. I think you give me too much credit. I could have very easily gone the other way… …if it weren’t for you. I actually spent some time with willow today, and it was great. We even got a little personal and philosophical, and I almost felt like I totally wasn’t on the outside. Wow, that’s — I mean, that’s great. Great. Yeah. Good for you. Yes. And I suggested that we even have dinner together. Then michael, he came home, and while he was perfectly polite… he iced you out? A little frosty. Mm-hmm. It’s kind of his thing. Look, michael might not be my dad’s biological son, but, man, when it comes to holding a grudge, they are exactly the same. So, watch out. Don’t you hate it when people say, “give it time”? Yes. Mm. The worst.

[ Laughs ] I just think that you should, uh… not do too much too soon, you know? Oh, of course. I-I-I know I’m still healing. Yeah, it’s just gonna take some time. But I am feeling a lot stronger. Well, I mean, um, is your immune system up to everything that you’d be facing at the hospital? Uh, I mean, obviously not now. And, believe me, I’m definitely gonna wait for the all clear from the doctors first.

[ Chuckles ] Good, good. But I need to be useful. One thing this experience has shown me is that I want to help people in crisis. I never really got the chance to immerse myself in nursing. Yeah, I just — I don’t know, willow.

[ Sighs ] Okay, michael, what’s really going on? There’s mo re to your concernsabout me going back to work than just my health. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. Willow, I do have mixed feelings about it. I mean, yes, I-I want you to pursue your passions and — and — and return to nursing. Just, don’t you think we can spend a little time focusing on our family first? Transfer to another hospital? Really? It’s hard seeing you every day at work, elizabeth. Why? Can’t take my eyes off you.

[ Chuckles ] Did I really say that out loud?

[ Laughs ] You know, when I invited you to dinner…tonight, I didn’t have any agenda, but here we are. And…I guess it’s a chance for us to be completely honest with one another. Well, if we’re being completely honest, I use work to distract me from the same feelings. But, you know, we’re both really busy people. I know. I know. I see you sometimes, and you’re just a blur. This beautiful blur rushing down the hospital halls. Maybe we should slow down. I really like getting to know you, but it only makes me want to spend more time with you. So, anything else on your list? Oh, yeah. That list is long, but…

[ Chuckles ] …Despite all of it… I’m still here. And so am I.

---

Now that sonny knows that I knowthat you “kkkh!” Nikolas, he’s — he’s gonna do stuff. He’s gonna do stuff to protect you, the mother of his daughter, from potential exposure. What if he already sent someone to silence me? No. Sonny has no interest in silencing you. What — no. Just — okay. We need to — but — so, what if it wasn’t gordon? It was mistaken identity, right? Maybe it was me that they were after in that alley. Really? Don’t be ridiculous. Alright. You’re probably right. Mm. Still… doesn’t make me feel any better. Austin. Ava. Look… we are where we are. All we can do is keep moving forward. And now we know who all the players are. And we know very well how best to arm ourselves. I’m not very good at this, am I? Terrible at subterfuge. Don’t screw up. Okay.

[ Door closes ] You got it. Don’t screw up. Yes, ma’am. What if victor is responsible for nikolas’ disappearance, and one of his associates still has him? You know, the more I think about that, the less sense that it makes, because if victor had gotten nikolas, he would’ve been gloating about it when we were in greenland, and there was nothing. So, I don’t know who else could want to abduct him. Who else would…? Do you think I just don’t want to admit that he’s done it again? That he’s turned his back on his family and he abandoned his two sons?

[ Inhales deeply ] If he can’t face the mess he’s made with spencer and esme, he may think running away is his only option. Shame is a powerful motivator. But then why not just let us know that he’s okay? He may not be able to face how much he’s disappointed you. But I’m the one who’s always there, you know, to help him pick up the pieces. I’ve tried to do that, you know, as a way to — to make up for…his childhood. He knows I love him. Of course he does. Okay, then he’s got to know that I’m going out of my mind with worry. I just can’t believe that he did this. Again. I just wish there was some way we could let him know that it’s alright to show his face. Laura? I know just where we’re headed next. I love you, anna devane. I know this isn’t exactly breaking news, but I’ve loved you always. And never doubt that you are the reason I’m here alive at all. I think you have the necessary survival skills. Lord knows, with our training… didn’t leave much of an option for love, though, did it? I think this has taken me a long time to admit, even to myself, let alone say it out loud to you. I love you. I’m really glad you’re home. Did you have a good trip? Did you find nikolas or anything? No. I guess that makes me the head of the family. God help us.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t worry about michael, okay? Just focus on your relationship with willow. You guys had a huge breakthrough today, and that’s amazing. So just build on that. If michael sees that willow is happy and comfortable around you, he’s gonna soften, trust me. Yeah, I’m gonna prove to michael that I can be a positive part of willow’s life. There you go. I hope that, then, he will join me in supporting your marriage with our dad. And then, I don’t know, maybe I won’t be the only one at your wedding.

[ Chuckles ] Willow, this isn’t about limiting your choices or — or doubting your capabilities. Not at all. It’s — and maybe I’m being selfish and greedy for wanting to spend more time together as — as a family, but — but, willow, I almost lost you. I want to savor every moment now with you and — and amelia and wiley. Michael, I-I know. So do I. Every moment is one more that we might never have had. But I can’t turn my back on nursing. I-I realize now the profound difference I can make in patients’ lives. I know. You have too much love to give. But our family… will always come first. You and amelia and wiley. We have fought too hard for me to ever let that go. Thank you for dinner. You’re welcome. Thank you for coming.

[ Chuckles ] I really look forward to all of our complications. Let’s do it again soon. Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow? I can’t wait.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I need to speakwith dr. Gatlin-holt right away. I’m sorry, but dr. Gatlin-holt’s with a patient. Would you like to leave a message? No, no. This message needs to be delivered in person.

[ Whistling ] Oh. That’s right. Stab wound. Maybe no lifting today. What are you doing in the stables? Leo’s not the only q who likes horses. Okay, yeah, well, liking them’s one thing, but you’re feeding stance. You gunning for my job?

[ Laughing ] No, not at all. I’m just taking a break from work, hiding out from my granny tracy and my dad, who’s now known as the hard-partying rock and roller eddie maine. Oh. Oh. Hello. Good afternoon. Oh. It’s afternoon already? If you didn’t stay out all night, you wouldn’t miss half the morning. Well, well, I don’t see that changing anytime soon. But I do appreciate you, uh, making me that, um… oh. What did leo call that egg thing you made? Anyway, it was great. It really, uh, hit the spot. Frittata. Yeah, used to be your favorite. Ned’s favorite. Oh, no, uh, move the plate of cookies more to the side of the table so it’s closer to the counselor from the surrogacy matching group. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. Good? Okay. Alright. Yeah, I can’t believe they agreed to come to our home instead of us going to their office. I’m grateful they did. I just — I can’t believe that this is happening so quickly. Just so long as they don’t think we’re entitled for asking them to come here. Uh…

[ Chuckles ] Hello. It’s not entitled. It’s called extenuating circumstances. I just — I really want this first meeting to go well. So do I, since it’s our first step to having a family. Joss, wow. For all the years that cameron worked here, and even for the brief time that I worked here, I never pictured you wearing a kelly’s apron. Why not? It’s a good gig. My mom owns the place now. I’m just helping her out. So are you giving up on pre-med? Did I say that? No. My career path doesn’t have to change.

[ Scoffs ] I’m just helping her out. Oh, okay. Fair enough. So what are you guys doing here? Did esme already quit her job at the invader? Of course not. I am just on my lunch break and thought I’d spend a little time with ace away from daycare.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. Is that my cute little baby ace cousin? Hi! Oh, look at you. You are so adorable. Oh, my god. Spencer, you were right. He is so cute. I cannot believe it has taken me so long to meet you. Yes. Hi. I’m kristina. I’m your cousin. It’s so nice to meet you. Aww. Hey, trina. Hi. Um, I don’t mean to bother you, but, um, sonny sent me here to check on how curtis was doing. But the nurses won’t tell me anything since I’m not family, so maybe you could. Um, yeah, I-I can’t tell you much, really. Oh, is he with the doctors now? No. But, um, curtis, my dad, he’S… he’s refusing to see me. Mr. Ashford. Hi, um, I’m dr. Gatlin-holt, and, uh, according to your chart, you — you’ve turned away your physical therapist. I didn’t feel like going. I see. Do you mind? Um, maybe you want to go tomorrow, ’cause, uh, it’s a very important component of your recovery. Yeah? Okay, I don’t know if anyone has explained this to you, but when you leave here, you are going to go to a rehabilitation facility. So do you have any questions for me while we’re here? No. Okay. Well, if that changes, just let a nurse know. And I’m more than happy to circle back. Okay? Curtis: This condition can’t be cured. Curtis: Look, if I’m never going to walk again… you’re not going to remodel our home. What you’re going to do… is let me go. I don’t want to see you again. I’m the one that’s living this! If you really want to help… you’ll walk out that door right now and you won’t look back.

---

Cody, can you please come and sit? You look like you’re about to fall over. Yeah. Yeah, maybe I did overdo it coming to work too soon, but, hey, somebody’s got to feed these horses. It’s already been taken care of. Look, what do you need? Can I get you some water? No, I really prefer beer. Tell you what. Grab yourself one, too. Hate to drink alone. Water it is. Beer. Yep. Yep, that hurts.

[ Sighs ] So, how bad did sasha hurt you? Water, please? Thank you. You know I’m not the shy, retiring type. Uh, is anyone shy in the quartermaine family? Of course not. But what I mean is, you didn’t answer my question. How badly did sasha hurt you? It’s nothing I can’t handle. And definitely nothing bad enough that she should get sent to ferncliff. That night that you brought the ravioli over to sonny’s place? I did, uh — I did try some of that. Mm? It was delicious. Have you ever thought about becoming a chef? Well, I do co-own a restaurant, and I give the chef notes on his menu sometimes. That’s enough for me. No, I get more satisfaction out of cooking for my — my family and loved ones. Have you always been a good cook?

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no. No, no, I remember when I was a teenager in bensonhurst. My nona was always dying for me to learn her recipes. I was always too busy to let her teach me. Busy, uh, with school? I bet you were a cheerleader. Ha!

[ Laughing ] Me? Shoot, no. No, no, no, no, no, I was more of a, uh — a wild child, you know? After school, the only thing i wanted to do was cause trouble. Flat and sparkling. It’s good to give her a choice. Okay. You don’t think we’re over-thinking this, do you? Of course we are. It’s what we do best.

[ Knock on door ] That must be her. Okay, let’s knock this out of the park. Hi, I’m claire brown. You must be the surrogacy matching professional. Yes, that’s me. Hi, I’m tj. We’ve been expecting you. Please come in. And thank you so much for coming to our home. This is my partner, molly. Hi, molly. I was happy to accommodate. How are you feeling? Oh, much better, thank you. Glad to hear it. Uh, please, have a seat. Is this your first meeting with a surrogacy specialist? Yes, uh, we just recently found out that, um, I’m unable to have a baby on my own. No need for either of you to be nervous. I’ve done this process with hundreds of couples. And don’t be afraid to ask me anything. In my line of work, I find that the only bad question is the unasked one. Got it. Understood. So, um, where do we start? I’ll start with the basics of what hiring a surrogate will be like and find out what your preferences are. So the first thing to consider is, are you interested in a gestational surrogate or a traditional surrogate? How you doing, curtis? How do you think? I spoke to portia, and she — auntie? I know what you’re going to say. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself, curtis. Get on with your life. God never gives us more than we can handle.” That’s not what I was going to say at all. Honestly don’t know what to say except I am sorry, baby. I’m so, so sorry. I-I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sorry. Why? I barely know you, and I just shared way too much information. Look, you’re joss’ best friend, and I know joss is busy right now helping her mom at kelly’s, so maybe you could consider me her proxy. Look, if you want me to leave, I will. But if you need someone to talk to, I hope you’d feel comfortable sharing whatever you would normally want to share with joss with me. Well, we can take a shot at it, because I really need to talk about this, and I need to talk about it with someone who isn’t family. I definitely qualify. The doctors think that it’s a possibility that curtis may never walk again. I knew that was a possibility, but I-I hoped it wouldn’t be the case. I’m really sorry, trina. That’s not even the worst part. Ever since curtis found out that he may never walk again… he’s refusing to see me. He is just the absolute cutest. Well, enjoy your day with your son. Well, well, well, josslyn, welcome to life behind the counter. Maybe you should think about putting in an application for charlie’s, hmm? I’d rather stick pins in my eyes. Charlie’s is not that bad. It’s the same thing as kelly’s, just with alcohol. Right, but that’s where sonny tends to go with nina, so hard pass. Okay. Josslyn and kristina don’t seem to like each other very much. What’s their deal? Ava: Oh, finally. No, no, no. Now, now, take it easy. I know you’ve been ignoring me. You’ve been ignoring my calls. You’ve been ignoring my texts. So I had to come here and track you down in person, because I need to know. What the hell is going on? I have not been avoiding your calls or your texts. I’m a doctor. I’ve been very busy. I have a lot of patients to care for. Well, you have one less patient to worry about now that gordon stevens was found dead in an alley right here, right outside the hospital.

---

I heard what happened to gordon. It’s very unfortunate. Unfortunate? A heart attack is unfortunate. Two bullets to the chest is murder. Yeah, no, I-I went over this with detective chase, just so you know. And I told him that I didn’t know anything about gordon’s death, which was not a lie, because I did know who gordon was, but I really don’t know anything about his death. Oh, my god. You killed him, didn’t you? Auntie…I’m sorry. What do you — what do you have to be sorry about? Because, clearly, I upset you with my outburst. Curtis, please. You haven’t done anything wrong. That bullet wasn’t meant for you. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. None of this is your fault. But, unfortunately, it is your reality now. And that’s why I am here. I’m here to help you in any way that I can. There’s nothing you can do. There’s nothing anyone can do. There, my dear nephew, I’m going to have to disagree with you. Because you have a family that loves you. A family whose love is as strong as any army. An army that will support you, care for you, and guide you through this unfortunate circumstance. “Unfortunate circumstance”? Auntie, I can’t walk! I can’t run. I can’t dance. I’m not the person I was a week ago. I’m not the man I was. And I never will be again. Now, that — that’s my future. After I found out that curtis might be my biological father, I had no interest in getting a dna test. Marcus taggert would always be my dad, the man who raised me, no matter what a dna test said. So what changed your mind? Curtis was so brave in greenland, and he literally risked his life to save mine. So I thought the least I could do was take a dna test. And it turned out that curtis was my biological father. And it changed things. How so? Things got weird between me and my dad. But it also got weird between curtis and me, because he was no longer just the man married to my mom. Like, he wasn’t just my stepdad. I had to look at him differently. I had to look at him like we’re father and daughter. And then it slowly got less weird, and we started bonding. Until I just…pulled away. Hey, esme, if you have something to ask me, please ask me, not spencer. Okay, then. Josslyn, what’s the deal with you and kristina? Why don’t you two like each other? Oh, well, the answer is simple, and it’s none of your business. Come on, josslyn. Don’t be like that, okay? It’s not like it’s a state secret. Kristina is team sonny, and she’s team carly. Sure. In my opinion, I just think if you’re team sonny, then you’re a bit misguided. Look, I wasn’t trying to provoke josslyn there. I hope that you know that. I just like kristina. What’s up, buddy?

[ Ace fussing ] Look, I just like kristina. She treats me like a human being, which is a refreshing change. I’m gonna go take him back to daycare, okay? I’ll see you later. So, I know I wasn’t there. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but sasha grabbed a knife off of a bar and stabbed you with it. Yes, that is all true. But sasha was terrified. Of you? No. No, she didn’t even know it was me. She kept calling me cyrus. Look, I know that you’re friends with sasha. She’s my friend, too. But if she was hallucinating, thinking that you were someone else, I mean, that is an argument for ferncliff. Cody, she lost touch with reality and became violent. And this isn’t the first time that she’s been violent. She smashed the windshield of that reporter’s car. Yeah, that reporter that was aggressively provoking her. Look… maybe ferncliff is the best place for her. No. I refuse to believe that. If I have it right, a gestational surrogate is a person not related to the fetus because they didn’t provide the egg. Yes, that’s correct. In your case, it would be a donor egg fertilized with tj’s sperm impregnated through ivf. Whereas the traditional surrogate is a surrogate that provides the egg and is genetically related to the fetus. Right again. I have several traditional surrogates who are willing to supply the egg and be fertilized through iui. So, that’s the first question. Do you have plans to secure a donor egg?

[ Door unlocks ] Oh, my god! Josslyn is such a bitch…

---

I did not kill gordon. I couldn’t do something like that. I thought you knew me better than that. Well, I don’T. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, I really know…next to nothing about you. How can you say that? We’ve had sex. We scratched an itch. Mm. That’s all. And just ’cause we “know” each other doesn’t mean we know each other. Um, after everything we’ve been through, I’d say that we do. In fact, I’m gonna go so far as to say you know me, well, I mean, better than anybody’s known me in a long time. Everything we’ve been through? Like what? Like you helping me cover up my husband’s death? Okay, that was just bad luck that I showed up at wyndemere right after you killed your husband. And you begged me to help you hide the body. Well, it’s too bad that your help came with a side of mason.

[ Cellphone beeps ] You know, he was just a nuisance at first, but now he’s got that — that psycho betty watching my child. You know, I hate that mason followed me that night and that you got dragged into his world. But that’s the way it is. But, ava, understand something, okay? Mason, the people that mason works for, those are the people that hurt people, people like gordon. I could never do anything like that. I got to go. Okay, but hurry back, though, because I still have questions, and I’d like some answers. Okay.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] No. No. None of this tracks. I mean, sasha kept it together when the producers of home & heart were trying to sabotage her by playing crying baby noises into her earpiece. Yes. Okay. You are right. Sasha showed a lot of courage that day. But, of course, she did get a little assist from you when you threatened to run in front of the camera naked if they didn’t stop the sabotage, which, by the way, I gotta ask you — would you really have done that? Got naked on live tv?

[ Chuckles ] What do you think? Wow, that is admirable that you would have done that to help sasha. See, that’s my point. How does the same woman who kept it together under incredible pressure just suddenly become a delusional train wreck in under a month? You were a wild child? Which means what, exactly? You skipped school and went to the mall? The mall?

[ Laughs ] That’s for babies. That’s middle school. No, no, no, no. By the time we were in high school, me and my best friend, lois, who you also might remember, we — we gave our poor mothers every gray hair they had on their head, I swear. We were — we were smoking. We were running around with older boys. We were sneaking into nightclubs with our ginormous bangs and our little skirts about the size of a belt. Good lord. Sounds like you were a good time. Never would have guessed. Mm, well… I got pregnant. Had to give up my partying days to raise my son. Claire, this is my sister, kristina. Kristina, this is claire brown. She’s, um, a matching professional who will hopefully be matching tj and me with a surrogate so we can have a baby. Oh! Wow. That’s — oh, my gosh! That’s amazing. That — molly and tj are — they are gonna be incredible parents. They are. Do you know that — that they’re a doctor and a lawyer? I mean, the ultimate power couple, right? Yes. I read their application before the meeting. Duh. Of course you did. So you don’t need me to tell you anything else about them. Uh, yeah, I’m going to — I’ll text you later. Um, and it was so lovely to meet you, really. Um, and — and they are — they’re — they’re just so, so great. So, okay! Bye.

[ Whispering ] What?

[ Sighing ] Oh.

[ Sighs ] Uh, I-I’m sorry for the interruption. Where were we? Some couples choose to use a donor egg from a family member so that they’ll share the same family dna. Is that a possibility for you? No. No. Uh, we’re interested in a traditional surrogacy using the surrogate’s egg. So, you think I could get a chocolate milkshake on the house? Of course. I’ll get you the shake. For double the price. Oh. So, that was awkward with esme before, right? Yeah. Isn’t everything awkward with esme? I’m sorry that I blabbed about your issues with kristina to esme. I-I didn’t mean to. It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.

[ Sighs ] Well… before esme left, she told me that kristina was the only person who made her feel like a real human being, and… I hate to say it, but I kind of felt sorry for her. You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to. But if you and curtis were starting to bond, why did you suddenly push him away? Because he did something I disapproved of, and I pushed him away. So the fragile bond that we were building, I broke it. And now when he needs me, he won’t let me help him. I don’t know, trina. I think you might be wrong about this one.

---

Ah! Okay, gordon stevens. Let’s see what your problem with austin was. So, you’ll be leaving here tomorrow, and you’ll be spending a few weeks at the rehabilitation facility. But after that, it’s very important that you continue your rehab at home. Although I’m sure dr. Robinson’s already explained all of this to you. Doc, I’ll — I’ll take it from here. Alright.

[ Door closes ] I don’t think I can do this, auntie. Curtis byron ashford, you have had a lifetime of hardships and struggles, more than any one man should have to bear. And I have watched you triumph over each and every one of them. This is different. You’re right. It is. Thanks. Look, I know the reason that you moved in with esme was to protect ace, and I respect that. But even though esme has lost her memory, I haven’T. I haven’t forgotten what she did to trina, me, and cameron. So it’s just really weird for me to be around her like that. It isn’t for you? It’s really not as hard as it used to be. But that’s just because of ace. My first priority was and still is trina. So why aren’t you with her right now? Well, that sounds like a tragedy to me. How so? Well, you were forced to give up your party-girl days to be a mom. It’s tragic. Absolutely not. No. My son dante is an absolutely amazing man. Well, you saw him last night. He’s the one that brought you here. Not that you’d remember it. You don’t really expect me to believe that you don’t miss your wild party days? Well, sure. I mean, once in a while. But do I regret giving up partying to raise my son? Absolutely not. I wouldn’t trade my son for anything in the entire world. You said that sasha was violent before when she attacked that sleazy reporter’s windshield and smashed it. But, I mean, sasha was on drugs back then, right? Yeah, she was. But then she got clean. Is it possible that she relapsed and she was on drugs again at the pool? I mean, the way she was acting, you know, thinking that I was cyrus renault, if I didn’t know anything about sasha and she was a total stranger, I would’ve completely assumed that she was high as a kite. You think sasha fell off the wagon? Maybe she didn’t know she was drugged. What if someone spiked her drink? Look, I know that you are trying to find any possible way to explain sasha’s behavior, but she has a history of mental illness. And if we deny that, we’re not helping her. Okay, well, maybe she wasn’t drugged, but something happened to derail her. And I’d bet anything it started with gladys.

---

Well, you’ve answered all the questions I needed answering. It’s now time for me to put together a list of potential surrogate candidates for you to interview. That’s it? It just — it seems way easier than I thought. So, going forward, the issue will be finding a surrogate that you most feel comfortable with. Thank you so much. We are excited to take the next step. Yeah. Nice meeting both of you. You seem to have a very good grasp on what you want, which will make this process go smoothly. I’ll walk you out. Have a nice day. Tj: You, too. Thank you again.

[ Exhales deeply ] Well, um, what do you think? I think it’s lucky I’m in this boot, or I might have jumped off the couch and tackled kristina for being inappropriate. Which would have disqualified us from claire’s service. Yeah. Your sister has a real gift for showing up at the exact wrong moment. I don’t know. Maybe she showed up at just the right time. With everything going on with curtis, I’m trying to be respectful, keep my distance away from trina and her family. But why? Spencer, trina just found out that curtis isn’t her stepdad, but her biological father. He’s just been shot. He could be paralyzed for the rest of his life. I mean, if I was in her position, I wouldn’t want my boyfriend to keep his distance from me. Well, portia has recently graduated in her feelings about me. What does that mean? It means that she has gone from vocally disapproving of me to outright telling trina that she doesn’t want me anywhere near her. Well, it’s a big world out there. Maybe just spend time with trina far away from portia. Well, that’s certainly one idea. But you’ve also got others. Like, I don’t know, maybe instead of dumping your beautiful baby brother off at daycare, you could grab him and his mom and head to the park. I know for me, when I was overseas in the military, and one of my buddies would get seriously injured, the hardest part was watching them isolate themselves from the rest of us. But after a while, you start to get it. I mean, our job in the military is literally to protect people. So if you get injured and you lose your ability to be a protector, it’s gotta mess with your head. And for curtis, I mean, he’s no longer just this guy who’s married to your mom. He’s your actual biological father. It’s gotta kill him that he can’t be your protector. Yeah, but I’m not a little girl. Curtis doesn’t have to protect me. That doesn’t matter to me. Maybe not. But I gotta guess that it matters to curtis. Look, gladys used to work as my assistant, so I can agree she’s not the best worker, but I still think she has sasha’s back. Why are you so suspicious of gladys? She’s sold brando’s garage without telling sasha. Okay, yes, sasha was initially upset, but then gladys explained that there were just too many daily reminders about brando. No, no, no, no, no. That was just a cover story. Gladys cannot be trusted. She framed me for stealing that bracelet at the nurses’ ball. Look, I can believe that gladys tried to frame you. But I have been around long enough to know that she truly loves sasha. And that’s good enough for me. Oh, wow. Okay. I have been away from work long enough, and hiding from granny, so I gotta go. I’ll see you later. Alright. Austin: Ava, what are you doing? Those are patient files. They’re very private. You can’t do this. This, i would have you arrested for. Mm, I don’t think so. Besides, a dead guy doesn’t need privacy. But that’s the funny thing. Gordon stevens? He is nowhere to be found in your files, which means he was never your patient at all. So start talking, austin. Who was gordon stevens to you?

---

So in your wild days… uh-huh. …You know, before you got knocked up, what clubs did you use to hang out in?

[ Chuckling ] That was a long time ago. And you don’t remember any of the names of the clubs?

[ Sighs ] Look, if it was happening, lois and I were there. The peppermint lounge, private eyes, hurrah, area, of course studio 54, xenon.

[ Sighs ] So, how did you get in? Did you have fake ids? Fake ids, that’s for amateurs. We made friends with all the bouncers.

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Chuckles ] Nice. Hi. Um, I have a friend who’s staying at your facility. I was hoping to get the, uh, visiting hours? Um, yes. Her name is sasha gilmore. My name? Um, cody bell. What — what do you mean, I’m not on the list? Did sasha get to create her visitors list?

[ Scoffs ] No, no, no. No, no, of course. Of course gladys corbin made the list. Thank you. You know, before today, I was really torn about whether we should ask kristina to donate an egg, because at least the baby would be biologically related to me. That makes sense. But after kristina’s barge-in earlier, I realized that it would just make everything so much more fraught, because you know kristina would feel entitled to give her opinion on every parenting decision we made. Yeah. And because of that, and a million other reasons, I just — I think it would be better if we use the surrogate’s egg. Molly… no matter what, you are going to be the mom of our baby. I agree. And I’m — I’m feeling so much more confident after meeting with claire. I know she’s gonna find us the perfect woman to carry our baby. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And just think — a year from now, our baby could be on this couch with us! With us.

[ Chuckling ] Spencer actually has plans with trina this afternoon. Well, uh, I-I do know that my mom’s out of town, so I don’t think it’d be a big deal for esme to take the afternoon off. And I am sure that baby ace would much rather be outside, maybe in a park, instead of in a stuffy daycare, right? Yeah, it is a beautiful day. So I think that I’m gonna go catch up with esme and my brother. Good choice. Mm. Sorry. So if you were me, what would you do? I would let curtis know that you’re here for him, and then give him space. So sitting here for hours isn’t the way to go? I’ll walk you out.

[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Crying ] Ava, the next time you have a question for me, please just ask, okay? You don’t need to rummage through my patients’ files. Okay, fine. But tell me, this gordon stevens. Did mason force you to treat him? Yes. And did mason have anything to do with gordon confronting you in front of nina and sonny and everybody else at the port charles grill? I-I don’t think so. Wait, hold on a second. Did you say something to sonny? Did you talk with sonny? I didn’T. Ava! Sonny already didn’t trust me that night, and now that I’ve got a dead patient in an alleyway, he — he’s never gonna let me around avery again. Sonny’s gonna — sonny isn’t gonna do anything. Because I told him that you helped me. That I helped you what? Ava… did you tell sonny that you killed nikolas?
