THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Loui – does sonny have you working all night? – I’m not sure. What about you? You got any plans? – Me and shane are going to go back to the dorm, and I guess there’s an after party. – Have fun. – Will you text me when you’re off? Maybe we can meet up. – Where? – [Laughs] Quartermaine boathouse? No one will know we’re there. – Dex, josslyn.

[Ominous music] Why do I always keep finding you two together?

– –After specific

pushing for the bill

for nine years and taking–

[Television turns off] – I really wish I didn’t have to disturb you.

[Inhales] Hey, willow? Willow? Hey. Hello, sleeping beauty. It’s, uh, it’s time you get to bed. You have a big day tomorrow. – Wait. The nurses’ ball is over? – Yeah. It ended a few minutes ago. – [Sigh] What did I miss?

[Ominous music] – Ok, what happened during the magic show? Is liesl backstage? – No one has seen aunt liesl. No one has seen her since she stepped into the vanishing cabinet. – Ok, liesl was supposed to donate her bone marrow for willow’s transplant tomorrow. Where the hell is she?

– [Knocking] Trina? It’s mom. Sweetheart, are you there?

[Indistinct chatter] – Esme? Esme, can you hear me, sweetheart? Oh– oh, god. Are you all right? – [Groans] – Oh, honey. Oh. It’s ok. Take it slow. Take it slow. Here. Come on. Let’s get you on the sofa. Come on now. – Ok. Ok. – Here, sit down. Sit down. – It– it– it all happened so fast. I mean, I opened the door, and then this man, he forced his way in, and then– – oh, my god. – I tried to fight him off, but he knocked me over, and– – oh, sweetheart. – He– he took my baby. – We’ll get your baby back. I promise you that. Come on now, honey. – Why? Why? Why? Why did he do that? Why did he– – I don’t know. – –Take my baby? – We will find your baby, sweetheart, I promise you. – [Sobbing] – It’s going to be ok. – I’m powerless. I hate being powerless to help her. – I know what you mean, but we have to trust that the doctors are doing everything that they can for her. – Anna would be the first to tell us to focus on stopping victor. – First, we’ve got to find that bastard.

[Suspenseful music] – Spencer, please, make yourself comfortable. Leave everything to me. – The boat is moving. – Well, technically we call it weighing anchor. – Uncle victor, where are you taking me?

[Dramatic music]

– I’m disappointed in you, dex. I’ve known for months you two were together. I gave you the chance to come clean, and you lie to me repeatedly, unless you want to deny what’s right in front of me. – No, sir. – You risked your life to save me. You’re lucky, because otherwise we’d be having a different conversation. You proved yourself to me, so how you handle your personal life is your business. Does your mom know that you’re seeing dex? – Yes. – And I should take your word for that? – You can ask her if you want to. Um, she– she doesn’t love it, but she respects that it’s my decision. – Ok. Well, you know what? I don’t like to be lied to. – No one does. – I’ve got a job for you. I have no interest in being the romance police. Josslyn is carly’s daughter. If that– that’s all right with her, that’s her business. As long as it does not interfere with your work. – It won’T. – Good. We’ve got a job for you.

[Suspenseful music] – I think you’ll find the accommodations on the haunted star are really first rate. Oh, speaking of which, your stateroom is ready for you if you want to make yourself comfortable. Alternatively, I can have someone escort you to the upper decks. You can take in the harbor lights. – But why do I need a stateroom or an escort, and why are we taking a tour of the harbor? – Oh, this is much more than the harbor tour, spencer. No, soon we’ll be heading to the open sea. – We’re leaving port charles. Why didn’t you tell me? Where are we going? – Don’t you worry about a thing. I’ve checked everything out. The haunted star is as safe as any ocean liner. – Like the “titanic”? Yeah, I’m out. Whatever the next stop is, I’m– I’m going to get off this boat. – Well, I’m afraid that’s out of the question. You see, we won’t be stopping for quite a while. – Then I’ll swim for it. The shore isn’t that far off.

[Suspenseful music]

– We have to find him. – We will. – My baby needs me. – Honey, we called for help, all right? They’ll be here soon. The police are coming–

[Knock at door] That’s them. – Pcpd. – [Sobbing] – Dante, thank god. A man broke into the house. Please, come in. I think she’s been hit in the head. – Please, we have to find them. He has my baby. – Who has your baby, esme? Who did this to you? – Who else? This is probably nikolas cassadine. – [Scoff] I can’t believe I slept through magic milo. Wait, I knew milo was coming to town to dance, but who else is in it? – Well, tj danced again. – Oh. – And somehow they recruited cody and dex. But you’re never going to guess who else they got to dance. – Who? – You remember that bodyguard that valentin hired to watch brooklyn and bailey? – Uri? – Yeah. – Oh, my god. Big burly yuri danced on stage?

[Gasp] I can’t believe I missed that. – Well, yeah, I recorded it so we can watch it another night.

[Soft music] But remember…

[Clears throat] I used to be a magic wand. So maybe when you’re back on your feet, I can give you a private show you’ll never forget.

[Laughter] – Promise? – No doubt. – What else did I miss? – Oh, your bone marrow donor was part of a magic act. – Liesl did magic tricks? – Well, more like she was the magic trick. Yeah, maxie’s kids, georgie and james, they put her in a box, and she disappeared. – I can’t wait to watch. – Yeah. Yeah, I know it was just a, you know, magic trick, but it– it looked a little too real. – [Laughs]

[Ominous music] – I’m assuming you called liesl? – Yes, carly. I called aunt liesl. She left her phone in the dressing room when she went on stage during the magic act. – Ok. Well, does sonny now that she’s gone? – He’s gone to look for her, and hopefully by now he’s already– hey. Any– any luck finding aunt liesl? – I have dex searching for her. Speaking of dex, did– did you know that he’s seeing josslyn? – You want to get into this right now? – It’s just a simple yes or no– – I don’t want to talk about my daughter right now. Come on. – A question, that’s all– – yes, I’m aware. I am aware. I’m not crazy about it, but it’s josslyn’s life, so she can make her own decisions. – Oh, ok. – I’m sorry to interrupt, but can we focus on aunt liesl right now? Did you talk to the stage manager? Did she fall through the trapdoor? – Trapdoor? – Yeah, there was a trapdoor in the vanishing cabinet and another one on the stage. – Excuse me, guys. Sonny, I need a minute. – Ok, if this is about how lucy made it from the safe house to the stage at the nurses’ ball, just go ahead and say it, drew. – What are you talking about? What safe house? – I gave valentin and lucy and anna a place to stay so they could be safe from cassadine. – Are you saying that valentin’s alive? – I just saw him a few hours ago. – I–I don’t know– I don’t know how to feel. I mean, whether to be relieved or furious. – In valentin’s defense, he was trying to exonerate anna. He was trying to protect lucy. He had to make victor think that he was dead, but something went sideways. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Anna was shot. She’s in the or right now fighting for her life.

[Suspenseful music]

– So according to robert, victor and some gunmen breached the house, all right? Lucy escaped through the bedroom window. Anna and valentin were captured. Valentin gave up the necklace. – Damn it. – Oh, I don’t understand. What necklace? What are you talking about? – The necklace your cousin britt inherited from peter august. – The stones were cut from the ice princess, but one of the stones had a coat on it– a coat that victor had been looking for for a while. Now he’s got it. Before he left, apparently victor felt like the best form of revenge for what he felt was betrayal was to hurt what valentin loves the most. – So victor shot anna as payback?

[Suspenseful music] – We’re all concerned about anna. But, jordan, you’ve got to remember something. You want to play the blame game? Anna was part of this right from the start. – You gave me your word that mac wasn’t part of the equation, right? – Yes, that’s right. – I appreciate your honesty, even if it’s belated. I have to assume eileen ashby’s murder was part of this as well? – That’s what anna believed, yes. – And that implies that the mayor was a part of this plan too? Don’t bother to deny it. I know laura would do anything to avenge luke’s death and protect her family at all costs. – It’s more about– it’s more than laura’s family. It’s more than all our families combined. And anna knew that. And that’s what…

[Gasping] – What did victor want so badly that he was willing to kill for it? – It concerns the ice princess necklace. – That holly sutton stole? But– that was burned in the fire that injured holly. – Holly’s injuries were faked along with the destruction of the necklace. We had it, victor’s now got it, and god knows what he’s going to do with it.

[Suspenseful music] – Dr. Robinson? Hi. – Hi. Joss, I– I was coming here to see trina. – Oh! – I knocked and– – I don’t think she’s back yet. Here, come on in. – Ok. I was on my way home, and i found myself coming over here. – Oh. – After seeing her on stage tonight at the nurses’ ball, she just looked so happy and beautiful. I kind of wanted to tell her how proud I was of her. – Yeah. Well, um, she should be back soon. We were just going to change and then head to a party. – You know what? You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking this might not have been such a great idea. Just don’t– don’t tell her that I came by, ok? – Dr. Robinson, wait. I know that you and trina are having some issues, and this is not me trying to get in the middle, but, you know, maybe you could stay and just see how trina reacts. – Is– is it true nikolas showed up and took the baby? – I wasn’t here when it happened. – But– – esme, did you see nikolas here tonight? – Uh, no, but– I mean, if not nikolas, then who? Spencer? Maybe you were helping him. Is that why you left? – No! No, honey. Esme, I’m on your side. You know that. – Esme, paramedics got to take you to gh. – No, I’m not going anywhere without my baby. – Sweetheart, we need to know whether or not you were seriously injured, ok? In the meantime, detective falconer is going to do everything he can to try to find your baby. Now, come on. You go. You go. – My baby. Please, she’s all I have in the world. – I’ll get to the hospital as soon as I can, all right, honey? In the meantime, you do everything the paramedic tells you to do. Do you know what happened tonight? – Yeah. Deputy mayor ashby is dead, and anna’s been shot and is now in surgery. – And now esme’s baby has been kidnapped. How far do we have to look to find the common denominator? – It’s all right, ambrose. My nephew was just kidding. No one’s swimming anywhere. – Hey, I thought that you said that we were going to be working together. You were going to help me find a way to send esme to prison, and then I was going to make sure that my little brother gets the life that he deserves. – That was the plan, but plans change. – I don’t understand. You send your man to tell me to follow your instructions without question, I did exactly that. I’m here when you asked, when you called, and now I find out that you’re taking me somewhere against my will. Is that right? – Oh, come on, spencer, stop being so dramatic. I’m not abducting you. I’m saving you.

[Suspenseful music]

Remember when youguys moved into this dorm last fall. – [Laughs] – You two were so excited, because you got better rooms as sophomores. – That – [Sigh] So much has happened since then. Oh! Trina’s still misplacing her socks, of course. – [Laughs] Oh, god. Misplaced, leave out– neither one of us is clean freaks. Um, I’m going to go to the bathroom, and I’m going to change, but I’m also going to text trina that you’re here so she doesn’t feel ambushed or anything. – Thank you for that. – Ok.

[Gentle music]

– Well, the details are still a little bit sketchy, but yeah, valentin was able to call 911, get anna to gh in critical condition– like I said, she’s in surgery as we speak. – Oh, my god, this is crazy. I mean, victor shot anna just to get back at valentin. That’s attempted murder. He can’t bribe or charm his way out of this, and he can’t stay in port charles. – So I’m guessing he doesn’t care that his plans or whatever they are don’t involve port charles anymore. – Which makes him more dangerous. He’s not even bothering to cover his tracks. – That’s right. – He’s– he’s just going to target anybody that stands in his way.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Ominous music]

You ok?

– Look, I’m only going to

say this because sonny is the father of my kids, and if you’re going to be with him, there’s something you need to know. Sonny needs to be with someone who knows the good, bad, and ugly about him and his business, who will stand beside him no matter how dirty things get.

– You know, anna’s a fighter.

[Indistinct chatter] – I’m ashamed. I thought she was indestructible. But that was before. – Before what? – Before she came in contact with my family. There’s something truly toxic about the cassadines. They poison everyone and everything they touch. – No, no, no. That’s not true about all of you. You proved yourself differently. That was one of the big reasons why anna fell in love with you. – You really think so? – I do. Anna’s in that or right now fighting to come back to you. – Listen, if the worst should happen–

[Ominous music] – No. You can’t lose hope. She won’t let you.

[Bell dings] – You can’t speak for anna. – I’m not. I’m speaking for charlotte. – [Sobbing] – Thank you, kevin. Yeah. No, I think a visit from you would be just what she needs, you know? You’re one of the few people that she learned to actually trust, and she is frantic right now. It’s going to take every one of us to try to keep her calm until we’re able to find her baby. Ok, yeah. I know. I love you. Bye.

[Ominous music] Has there been any update about anna? – She’s still in surgery. – Ok. What I don’t understand is how somebody can walk in the building and walk out carrying a baby and nobody saw that. – I know. Look, I got people pulling surveillance footage from the building, we’re going to pick up ace’s trail, and we’re going to get your grandson back to you. – You’re trying to save me? From what? – From yourself amongst other things. Oh, come on. I was there for you when your father turned his back on you. Now, listen, it’s true. Nikolas has been nothing but a big disappointment to all of us, but you’re different. See, I trust that you will step forward and do whatever is necessary for our family. – I am so grateful for everything that you have done for me. I am so grateful. But I was under the understanding that you did those things for me out of love, not to compel me to obey you. – I don’t want your obedience. I want your loyalty. – You demand loyalty, and yet you won’t trust me with the truth! Or perhaps my grandmother was right about you all along. – Oh, come on. You can’t believe a word that woman says. – Then let me go home to my family. – Oh, spencer, don’t you understand? Your family is right here. – I have more family than just you, uncle victor! – I am well aware of that. Ambrose.

[Suspenseful music]

– Ace? What is he doing here?

– As I told you, spencer, your family is all here on this boat.

– Give me my brother. – Oh, spencer, don’t worry. I’ve arranged a wonderful nursery on board for little ace. God, we really have to do something about– – where is esme? – –That stupid name– esme? Oh, miss prince won’t be joining us. – There is no way that she would give that baby up. – Ambrose can be very persuasive. Oh, I don’t know why you’re so shocked, spencer. You agreed with me that esme should have no part in little baby ace’s future. – I know what we said, but– – esme is back there with all the other mediocre people of port charles, and we are here because we’re different. We’re cassadines. We deserve better. So for you, for me, for our entire family, it’s full steam ahead. – Man, I wish my mom cleaned my side of the room. Dr. Robinson, is everything ok? Ah. Yes. You know trina. Any chance she can get to add a little extra art in her life.

[Laughs] – I, um, didn’t mean to pry. I wanted to look at the art, but something’s written inside. – “Trina, every day with you is a gift.” – It’s not signed. But then again, it doesn’t need to be, does it? That’s from spencer, isn’t it? – Hey. Did the doorman see something? – No. Not a thing. – Nothing? – We did put out a missing child alert for esme’s baby. – Ok. Well, hopefully somebody saw something. But you know you can’t go with that. – Right. Hopefully forensics gets me this footage and– look, all we need is a picture, one image of the person who broke in here tonight and took ace.

[Phone chimes] – Is that them? – Yeah. They’ve emailed me the footage. – Ok. – Maybe this is the break we need.

[Ominous music] – When did you get here? How did you get here? – I was staying at my friend melissa’s house when felicia sent a police car to pick me up. – It was mac who sent the car. I just told him you needed to be together. – Thank you. – I’ll give you some time alone.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Suspenseful music]

– How is anna? How bad is it? – It’s bad. But she’s got really good doctors, and she’s in good hands, and she is the strongest person I have ever met. – Is it my grandfather, victor? – Yeah, it was. – I hate him. – No. Don’t hate. I don’t want that for you. That just makes him too important. Your life is your own,

mon petit, then it marches by. Please don’t spend it hating. I don’t want that for you. You’re better than that. – Don’t ask me to like him. – No. I would never do that. I just want him gone. You’re going to have such a life, you are, with people to see and places to go, and I just want it to be so full that there’s no room for thoughts of victor. – It would be a lot easier to forget about him if he was locked up. – Yeah. Yeah. And I promise you he will be. One way or another, he’ll be stopped.

– Lucy’s alive? – Yeah. – She showed up at the nurses’ ball? And sonny saved her life? – Yeah, that’s what’s being reported. – You’re proud of your dad, aren’t you? – I mean, I’m happy lucy is safe– absolutely. And I’ve always known my dad is this physically courageous. It doesn’t– doesn’t make me like him any more. – None of us can change the past, michael. We can only try to be better in the future. – Does that go for nina too? Sorry, that was a cheap shot. – No. No, it’s fair. I do hold what n ina’s donein the past against her. But I have to admit that she’s a big part of why liesl has agreed to be my donor. And I owe her for that. – I’m just– I’m trying to understand this. So victor, he shot anna in cold blood just to punish valentin? And then– and then he’s going to target other people who opposed him? Dex! Did you find her? Did you find my aunt liesl? – Go ahead. Say what you need to say. You can talk in front of everybody. – I checked the crawl space under the trapdoor on stage, and I found this. Looks like a– a charm from a bracelet. Does it look familiar? – The– the charm was my cousin britt’S. It’s very precious to my aunt liesl. I can’t imagine her being careless with it.

[Suspenseful music]

– I wish you had better news. I’ll be in touch soon. – Now what? – Missing child. – Oh, no. That’s awful. – It’s esme prince’s baby. – Nikolas cassadine’s the father of that child. This can’t be a coincidence. – No. It sounds like victor’s getting all of his ducks lined up in a row. – His ducks and his diamonds. Let me know the minute you hear a word about anna. – Where are you going? – To get answers.

[Ominous music] – Ok, it’s going to be much easier to see this footage from your computer. – Yeah, good idea. – Ok, here’s a nighttime view of your building. – Uh-huh. Ok. Oh, ok. So that’s the service elevator. Is that the kidnapper right there? – Could be. We don’t see his face. He’s got a hoodie on. Let me see. Freeze this and zoom in. Well, look at that. He’s got a gun. – Oh, my god.

[Suspenseful music]

– I’ve known for a while now. I’ve known that spencer had become more than just a friend to my daughter. – Especially after rory died. – And after seeing them together tonight, the connection that they have– pretty obvious. – I take it you don’t approve. – Do you? – [Sigh] I mean, it’s not really up to me. It’s up to trina. – And I’ll take that as a no. – Look, I’ve known spencer for a really long time, and I know that he can be a– a jerk, but I also know that if there’s anyone that’s going to make him want to be better, it’s trina.

[Suspenseful music] – I’m going to go. I appreciate you, but I’ve been here long enough and– you know what? If you could just tell trina– just– just tell her that I miss her. – Ok. Dr. Robinson? – Yeah? – Um, no matter what mistakes spencer may or may not end up making, I do know he would never knowingly hurt trina again. – Knowingly. And that’s the part that scares me. – Look, victor, I know that you’re doing what you think is best for me and for my little brother, but leaving port charles means leaving the people who we care about– people who are going to start to wonder where I am as soon as they realize that I am missing. – If you’re referring to your grandmother, it’s high time you stop letting laura control your life. Or is this about the young lady who always seems to bring out your weaker, more sentimental side? – Do not talk about trina like that. – Oh, romantic attachments are all very well and good, spencer, but now is the time to make your family your priority. Take it from me. I’m speaking from experience. In no time at all, you’ll have forgotten all about miss trina robinson.

[Ominous music] – Is it possible it fell off britt’s charm bracelet without old britt knowing? – Well, sonny, that doesn’t make me feel any better. I mean, aunt liesl knew how important tomorrow is for willow. What was she doing in a crawl space beneath a trapdoor? That definitely wasn’t part of a magic act. – Um, I think michael and willow need to know what’s going on with liesl. – You want me to have dex drive you? Because he can drive you. – No, I got it. It’s ok. I can take her. – Oh. – Thank you. I appreciate that. – Yeah, of course. Come on. – I’ll go pull the car around. – Well, for once, I’m not upset that carly gets to be the one with willow. Carly will be able to reassure her and comfort her. Because I have to find my aunt liesl, and you’re going to help me.

[Suspenseful music]

– I need to find out what happened to my aunt liesl. – You want my help? You realize what you’re asking, right? – I know what I’m asking you, sonny. My aunt liesl and willow’s lives are at stake, and my aunt liesl is the only one who can save willow. I want you to do whatever it takes to find her. – Are you absolutely sure? – God help me. I am. – Ok, ok. Let’s get– let’s get to bed, and I’m not taking no for an answer, all right? We need to get you rested for your big day tomorrow. – Ok.

[Knock at door] – Hey, mom, drew. What are you doing here? – Is something wrong? – Ok, so we should see the same hooded figure leaving the building, right? – Yep. – Ok. Oh, my god.

[Tense music]

Stop right there. – What? You recognize that face? – It’s hard to forget. It’s ambrose. It’s victor’s bodyguard.

– [Gasping]

[Gasps]

[Heart monitor beeping] – You were just having a bad dream, esme. – I kept seeing the face of the man that broke in and took my baby. – Did you recognize him? – [Stammering] I don’t know who he is. All I know is that he has my little boy. But why? Why did he take my baby?

[Ominous music]

[Sobbing] – Jane, I think it’s time you took this little sleepyhead back to his crib.

[Ominous music] – Isn’t it past your bedtime as well? – That’s very kind of you to be concerned. I’m a night owl. – Ambrose is here for my protection and yours, as well as your little brother’S. And he sooner you understand that, the better off you’ll be.

[Tense music]

[Indistinct chatter] – Charlotte? I’m, um, I’m going to speak to robert for a second. – How are you holding up? – I hate waiting. – Me too. – What’s the word on anna? – There’s been no update. Well, that in itself is an update. It means she’s still fighting, and we– we knew she would. – Anna’s going to make it. Robert, I want victor found, and I want him dead. And then I want to dig a hole and bury him with my bare hands. – [Sighs]

[Groans] Where are you, trina?

[Sighs]

[Ominous music] – How about I make you a deal? I will agree to go with you wherever you want to take me. But you have to letmy baby brother go home. – [Chuckles] Spencer. You still don’t understand. He is home. And so are you, here, with me. As long as we have each other, we have everything we need.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– ah, finally. That’s more like it. Ah. Release them. – [Groans] – You know, the tragedy is that we could have done this together, valentin, you and me, father and son. Instead, I’ve had to choose another heir to carry on the cassadine name. Your betrayal broke my heart.

[Dramatic music] So it’s only fair that I return the favor.

[Gunshot] – So let’s hear it for our magicians, georgie spinelli and james west.

[Laughing] – Ok, georgie and james were so adorable. But where did obrecht go? – I–

[Tense music] – Looks like the assistant disappeared for real, huh? Are you watching? Yeah?

[Laughs] – Hey, there’s the proud mama. Where’s georgie and james? – In the dressing room. Georgie keeps trying to figure out what went wrong, and james keeps insisting that magic is real. – So what happened? Did aunt liesl get stuck or something? – That’s the mystery. Liesl vanished from the vanishing cabinet.

– So don’t go anywhere because the next act is the one you’ve all been waiting for. And you don’t want to miss it.

[Applause]

– Ms. Gilmore, where is ms. Corbin? – She was here a second ago. Maybe she went to the ladies room? – Thank you.

– How are you? Are you still upset that spencer talked to dex like that? – You were pretty annoyed with him too. – Oh, well, yeah. I was furious. I still am furious. But I’m not dating him. – Spencer, you’re brooding at the bar. Are you just being a cassadine, or is something actually up? – I blew it with trina. Again. – Hi. – Did mark find you? – Who? – The bodyguard from gallery jewelers. – Oh, he has a name? Who knew?

[Laughs] Honestly, sasha, can’t a lady powder her nose in peace? – Gladys. Where’s the bracelet?

[Dramatic music] – Consider us even.

– [Breathing shakily] – Anna! Let me see how bad it is. – Go after him!

[Dramatic music]

– Oh my god. I’ve been robbed! – Ok, gladys, stay calm. – What? Stay calm? A gajillion-dollar piece of borrowed jewelry has been stolen. – It probably just fell off. Look around. – What’s wrong? Ms. Corbin? Where’s the bracelet? – Ok. That’s what I’m trying to tell sasha. Somebody stole it. – Or maybe the bracelet is just missing. Maybe the clasp broke. – Ms. Corbin, when was the last time you’re sure you had it?

[Tense music]

– Ah! I can’t remember. I just pray we find it soon. – It’s not just the way spencer spoke to dex. It’s that spencer seemed to go out of his way to pick a fight. – Look, he’s just being an entitled jerk. He’s overcompensating for his own insecurity by lording his imaginary status over people who actually work for a living. – Yeah, but he wanted to do better. And I really do believe that. Spencer was lashing out, and dex was the nearest target. Something’s going on with him. – Like what? – I’m not sure, but I’m gonna find out tonight. I’m not letting spencer hide this from me anymore. – [Groans] Listen to me. Listen to me. If your father leaves town with that necklace, we will never find him. – There’s no time. I have to get you to a hospital. – [Moaning]

[Tense music]

– That’s nice work with ms. Devane. You provided just enough incentive to get my son to talk. – It was your strategy. – Yeah, and an effective one, if I may say so myself. So you followed up on holly sutton? – She’s still listed as a patient in the swiss burn unit, but she’s not there. She doesn’t have a room. She’s not being treated. And there’s no patients in the facility that fit her description, so she’s not using an alias. – Hmm. All the more proof that that fire was just a ruse. No doubt ms. Sutton has been busy looking for her son while she should have been recovering. – You want us to move him? – Yes, in a manner of speaking. It’s time to offload ethan lovett at a profit.

[Cell phone ringing] Excuse me. When it rains. Tobias? Yeah, have you found lucy coe? I want her home, pcpd, and the metro court under constant surveillance. That’s where she’s probably going to run to. She’s one of our remaining loose ends that I need to have tied up, now that I have everything I want. – Who would steal that bracelet? And at a charity event no less? – Gladys, how about we retrace your steps? Besides the bathroom, did you ever leave the ballroom? – No, I’ve been here the– wait. Wait a second. I did. I went backstage to tell maxie what a great job she’s doing. – Did you talk to anybody else while you were backstage? – Now that you mention it, I– I did see cody bell. – Ladies a nd gentlemen, can ihave your attention, please? We have another anniversary to celebrate. Ten years ago today, at the 2013 nurses ball, there was a performance that not only brought down the house, it set this place on fire. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen them, but they are back. I am so happy to introduce the magic wands.

[Cheers and applause]

– All the guys were really good. – Oh, come on. Every football team needs a quarterback. Every heart-stopping, jaw-dropping, all-male revue needs a centerpiece, and that is obviously you. – Oh, careful, sweetie. – Oh. Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you there. You know what, you need to hurry and join your group, so you’re not late for your performance. – Hey. Break a leg. It means good luck. Cute kid. – Yeah, she is. And her performance is gonna be darling, which reminds me, I have some stuff to do. – I’ll leave you to it. – Thanks again, milo. – Thanks for asking me. – Now, if I could only find liesl. – Hey. – Hey. Have you seen liesl? – No, I haven’T. And this is ridiculous because she knows she has the bone marrow harvest tomorrow. – [Sighs] Hi.

[Chuckles] Oh. Is the nurses ball still on? I wanted to watch it, but, well, I had to deal with a– a crisis. So how’s it going? Are you enjoying the show? – Uh, yeah. There’s certainly a lot of, um, local talent on display. – [Chuckles] Yeah. – This happens every year? – Almost. I really love how our community comes together to raise money for a good cause. – Yeah, it seems like everybody’S…

[Soft music] Yeah. – He’s looking a little bit tired, isn’t he? Little red cheeks. He’s so– – hey, just don’t touch him.

– I got your text. What’s going on? – Well, we can’t find aunt liesl. – We questioned georgie, james, the stage managers. Everybody says the same thing– liesl stepped inside the disappearing cabinet and never stepped out. – How does this work? – Ok, there is a false back that the assistant slides behind to disappear. Then they slide back to reappear. – All right. Ok, there’s a trapdoor on the bottom. Is there a trapdoor on the stage? – I don’t know. I’m not sure. – I can text the stage manager. – Yeah, yeah. – What if she fell through the trap door? Aunt liesl could be hurt! – Please tell me I haven’t already screwed up the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

[Soft music] Can we talk, please? – Ok. Tell me, spencer, what is going on with you? – What did you think of magic milo? – Those magic wands have gotten felicia all flustered. – I’m not going to apologize for enjoying their act. The one who always gets me flustered is my mac. – My brother’s a very fortunate man. – Don’t I know it? – [Giggles] You were so good! – The things I’ll do for charity. – Yeah, well, hey, what about my sacrifice? I mean, I had to share you with a ballroom full of thirsty women. – Mm. Ok, the things you do for charity.

– Bracelet’s been found.

[Both sigh] – Thank god. – Where was it? – One of the wardrobe people found it when she was moving some of the performers’ clothes. Fell out of a tux pocket. – I told you it was stolen! I told you all. – I can’t believe someone would actually– who was it? – Hey, has anyone seen my–oh.

[Tense music] What’s going on?

– Any problems? – Everything went according to plan on my end. – Excellent. Now I want you to personally check the state rooms, make sure they’re appropriately prepared for our guests. Is tobias back yet? – That’s where there was a complication. – Please stay awake. Please stay awake. – Whatever happens– – nothing’s gonna happen. – I really thank god we found each other. – I don’t know how I got so lucky. – You’re a good man. – Oh, I don’t know about that. I can think of plenty who’d disagree with you.

[Gasps] – Oh, they don’t know you like I do.

They don’t know your–

they don’t know your heart… like I do. – You know me better than anyone.

– I love you. – And I love you.

[Ambulance siren wailing] Oh, thank god. There, you hear that? The ambulance is here.

Anna? Anna.

Psst! Psst!

All good! – Yes, I did. – Of course I know that. – Oh my god, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you like that. – It’s ok. You know that I would never hurt the baby, right?

[Baby cooing] – Of course I know that. I just…

[Sighs] Did you ever hate letting your kids out of your sight when they were babies? – Yes, I did. – I just like to be with ace. I mean, I feel like everyone’s just trying to lay some claim on him or something, but he’s all I’ve got. – Honey, I know that. But even so, babies, as you can see, pick up the emotions of people around them, you know? And how do you think your constant anxiety is going to affect him? – [Chuckles] I would never hurt my son. – I know that, sweetheart. That’s not what I meant.

[Cell phone ringing] I’m sorry. I have to get that. Laura collins.

[Tense music] My god. Where is she? Ok, I’ll be right there. Thank you.

Esme, I’m sorry. I have to go. I have to go right now. We’ll talk more later.

– I am sorry about what happened with dex. – Sorry because you treated him like dirt or sorry because i was disappointed? – I’m sorry that I upset you. That’s the last thing that I want to do. – You do know that’s the wrong answer, don’t you? – Dex is not a good guy. Whatever is going on between him and josslyn– – is none of your business. – But cam is my best friend, so it is my business. – Cam is in california living his dreams, and that is not the reason why you went after dex. You were spoiling for a fight, and dex was there. And you knew that he worked with your uncle and that he wasn’t gonna fight back. That is the definition of entitled. – You’re right, you’re right, you’re right. I’m sorry. – [Sighs] – I’m trying to do better. – Do you mean that? – Of course I do. – Good. Apologize to dex.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Tense music] Are you really gonna answer that phone right now? – Valentin? Yeah? He’s–what? What? I’ll meet you at the hospital. – Is this cody bell? – That’s him. – Yeah, or you could just ask me. – Mr. Bell, is this your jacket? – How would I know? All tuxes look the same. – So where’s yours? – It went missing while I was on stage. That might or might not be mine. What’s going on? – Cody, did you find a bracelet on the floor and maybe put it away for safekeeping so that you could return it later? – No. – Then why was it found in your pocket? – Because you stole it. – I never touched that bracelet, ok? If they found it in my jacket, it’s because someone else put it there. – Take this conversation elsewhere. I’m trying to put on a show. – Cody, I want to believe you. There must be some way to clear this up. – There’s nothing to clear up. I never touched that bracelet. And besides, the bracelet’s back, so no harm, no foul, right? – Not so fast. – Hey. What’s going on here? – Detective scorpio, arrest this man.

[Dramatic music]

[Soft jazz music]

– Dex, come here. – What’s up? – We have a problem.

– Mac, this is a mistake. – A million-dollar bracelet was found in mr. Bell’s jacket pocket. That’s grand larceny. – Yeah, except I didn’t steal it, ok? Mac, you got to believe me. – I’m just following the evidence. – Sasha, please. – This guy was hanging around me all night, insinuating himself with my daughter-in-law, following me wherever I– I mean, apparently, casing me so he could strike at the perfect moment.

[Scoffs] Do you deny following me in here? – I don’t deny it. – So you admit to following gladys?

– Spencer, we are right in the middle of something.

[Cell phone ringing] – I’m sorry. It’s my uncle victor. I have to. Yes, uncle? – Took you long enough. – Sorry about that. Now is not a good time. – Doesn’t matter. Do you want to get your brother away from esme? – You know that I do. – Then come to the haunted star immediately. And, spencer, tell no one.

[Dramatic music]

– Valentin? Where’s anna? – They just took her in there. – Tell me what happened. – Victor shot anna in the abdomen. The bullet is still inside of her. She coded in the ambulance, but they were able to bring her back. – Anna is very strong. She will make it through this. – Where is victor now? – I don’t know. He got away. – What about lucy? Where is she? – She was able to get out of the house. But I don’t know where she is now.

– [Breathing rapidly] Ok, I’m ok. They’ll be ok if I just find scorpio and tell him that victor found the safe house.

– Don’t move.

– if you scream, I will shoot you. – Well, I would really rather you didn’T. – Good, let’s go. – No, you know, this is just a whole case of mistaken identity. Actually, it’s not because you do know who I am. But I am not a spy. I promise you. I don’t know how to decode. – Good. – I can’t de-bomb anything. – Now move. – No, do you know what one thing I do know how to do? This. – Ah! Damn it! – When valentin called from the ambulance, he said that anna had been shot. Did he offer any other detail? – Valentin didn’t call me. The hospital called me. – When? Now, I was always under the impression that anna and valentin arrived at the hospital– – right before me. Valentin, did victor say anything? Did he give you any idea at all what his next move might be? – All he said was he had already chosen a new heir. – What did he mean by that? – Mr. Cassadine? – How is anna?

[Dramatic music] – So this is where you’re staying. – The haunted star suits my current needs. Did you tell anyone you were coming here? – No. No, I followed your instructions to the letter. So tell me, what’s happening with ace? Is everything all right? – Why wouldn’t it be? – When I spoke to you this afternoon, you told me to sit tight. Has something changed? Is there something that you need me to do? – Her things are still in the dressing room. Her car’s in the garage, and no one’s seen her. – Anything? – No sign of dr. Obrecht. – Sonny, aunt liesl, she’s scheduled to have that stem cell transplant tomorrow. Willow, she cannot wait. And if aunt liesl is missing and she’s hurt somewhere– – nina. We’re gonna find your aunt liesl, ok? And everything’s gonna be fine.

– So you admit to following gladys tonight? – Yes, I followed her, but not to steal some bracelet. – Then what reason would you have? How do you even know gladys corbin? – Gladys and I have crossed paths a few times. – There’s no big mystery here. Cody saw that bracelet on my wrist and thought it was an easy payday.

– Do you have anything else to say? – I didn’t do this. Check the bracelet. I guarantee you my fingerprints aren’t on it. – [Scoffs] That doesn’t prove anything. You can wipe off fingerprints. – Cuffs. Cody bell, you’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up that right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. – I know you’re still in the trying stage, but I can probably expect a grandchild within the year? Yes? – Whoa, ok, we are still in the seltzer solidarity stage.

[Chuckles] We have a long way to go. – I know, but you two are the most efficient people I know. I’m sure it won’t take too long.

[Cell phone ringing] Ah. Ugh. It’s the station. Excuse me. Commissioner ashford. Anna devane’s at gh? – We’ve prepped ms. Devane for surgery to remove the bullet. – How bad? – She’s in critical condition. We’re doing everything we can to keep her blood pressure up enough to profuse her organs, including her brain. Gunshots can create considerable damage from the bullet fragmenting. We won’t know the extent of the organ damage until we’re inside and can assess what we’re dealing with. Excuse me. – I’m sorry. I’ve got to make a phone call. Come on, esme. Pick up. – Where’s anna? What did the doctor say? – This is your fault, cassadine. She wouldn’t be in this state if it weren’t for you. – Stop it, robert! Did valentin shoot anna, or did victor do that? Don’t take this out on valentin. – No, you’re right. Victor shot anna to hurt me. This is all my fault.

– Ah! – Looks like you got nowhere to go. – Oh. You may have great, big muscles, but you have a tiny, little gun. And I have– I have this! Ah! – [Groans]

– A boa, really?

– Do you understand these rights as i I have explained them to you? – I always do. Yes, I understand. – Let’s go. – Cody! Whoa, hold on. What’s going on? – It’s a frame-up, sam. This time, I’m innocent.

[Tense music]

[Cheers and applause] – Hello, everyone. I’m carly spencer. Now, I don’t work at gh, but my mother is an integral part of general hospital. Mom, come on out.

[Cheers and applause] Now, for the few of you who do not know her, this is my mother, barbara jean spencer, chief nursing officer at general hospital. – Whoo! – Now, we’re not only celebrating general hospital’s 60th year. We are also celebrating you. This amazing, beautiful woman has been helping people and saving people’s lives for the past 45 years. And what makes general hospital so special is its people, the passion and dedication to helping communities and making the world a better place. And no one embodies that more than my mother, nurse bobbie spencer. – Dr. Hardy, everybody in the hospital is talking about you being released sometime today. I’m so happy for you. Jesse, I graduated at the top of my class! – Bobbie, what– what did they find? – A very large tumor. They took ten lymph glands. Three were positive, but the rest appeared clean. The odds are heavily in favor of its not having spread any further.

[Soft music] – Oh, god, not barbara jean’s heart.

[Sobbing]

– I don’t know how you did it. I don’t know how you sat next to your little girl as she lay in bed, knowing that you had to say goodbye to her. I can’t do it. I just can’t do it. – I hope you never have to. But somehow, we always find the strength to do what’s required of us. This is medication, commonly known as the morning after pill. It prevents the possibility of pregnancy, and it’s doctor-prescribed to sexual assault victims, which means I’m not authorized. But I’m giving it to you anyway. The instructions are very clear and simple if you decide you want to take it. I have tolerated your insults for years because it’s my son. He’s a wonderful young man, and I’m very proud of him. And if you ever insult my son again, I will bitch slap you all the way to the canadian border.

– I wish I had

known you longer. I wish I would have realized the gift that you are long ago. I am humbled by your compassion

and your capacity

for forgiveness. – She is a consummate healer, infinitely kind and loyal to those she loves, and equally fierce to her adversaries. I should know because I’ve been both. She found me when I was at my worst, and she loved me until I was at my best. And I’m not the only one. That’s what she does for everyone whose life she touches. That’s what nurse bobbie spencer does for general hospital.

– Oh. Oh.

[Breathing heavily] Sonny. Hi. – Hi. You ok? – I’m not dead. – Yeah, I can see that. Good for you. – Thanks to you. – I do what I can. How can I help you? – Please. Ok, listen. I really have this very important errand I’m on if you’ll excuse me, but what do we do with– – I’ll take care of it. – Thanks. – Yeah. – Ta.

[Tense music]

– You’ve already done your part. I called on you and, voila, here you are. – Here I am. So now what?

What’s that? – Oh, don’t you recognize the sound of ships’ engines? – Uncle victor, what’s going on?

– Oh, my god. – I was told you died in paris. – Commissioner, I’d say that reports of my death are exaggerated. – Clearly, because here you are. Meanwhile, I have reports of multiple shots fired at a house in a quiet suburban neighborhood. And now one of my best friends is fighting for her life. So why don’t you tell me what the hell is going on? – My father shot anna. – What? Where is victor? – I don’t know. But I do know that whatever insane plan he’s been hatching he will be unleashing on all of us very soon. So we need to stop him.

[Cheers and applause] – Thank you, honey, for that beautiful and unexpected tribute. It is an honor, and it’s also been my honor to be involved with general hospital’s first 60 years. But I’ve also been given another honor this evening, the chance to speak about lucy coe.

[Soft music] It might seem counterintuitive that I’m up here this evening because lucy and I were never friends. Lucy and I were actually tearing each other’s hair out long before the word “frenemies” was even invented. She came to town disguised as a librarian and seduced the man I loved. That was only the beginning. Lucy lied. Lucy cheated. She even married a quartermaine. – Oh, you are one to talk, bobbie! You started out by lying to laura that you slept with scotty! Ah! – But somewhere along the way, 1994 to be exact, lucy shocked everyone, certainly me, by discovering a passion for giving. Lucy finagled a place for herself as mistress of ceremonies of the very first nurses ball, and it transformed her, all that willfulness, all of that guile, the conniving, the deceit, the vanity… – vanity? Vanity? You know what? Your red hair hasn’t been natural for 100 years! – Lucy cajoled. She arm-twisted. She blackmailed to get all of us out here either on stage or in the audience that first year and for many years thereafter. From 1994 to the early 2000s, and 2013 to the present, the general hospital nurses ball has raised millions of dollars for hiv and aids related charities. And lucy coe was the leader, the inspiration, and, yes, the relentless nag who made it all happen. Lucy coe isn’t here tonight. – Ugh, ugh! – But none of us would be here without her. – Whoa!

[Crowd gasping] – What the hell did you call me? – [Gasps] – Lucy! You’re alive? – Yeah, I’m back. Deal with it! – Well, welcome home.

[Cheers and applause]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Get down!

[Suspenseful music]

[Gun firing, shouting] – I have an instinct about these things. You were born to be a performer. You just need the right person to guide you. – What the hell? – Linc, is that you? You’re so insignificant, you’re easy to miss. – You guys look like you’re enjoying yourselves. – Mm-hmm. – You two are doing a fantastic job. Everything is going off without a hitch. – Don’t jinx it. – Well, you know, the trick is to make it look effortless, which maxie is doing beautifully. – Thank you. – Because no one needs to know what goes on behind the scenes.

[Laughs] – Well I, for one, can’t wait for the big act coming up later. – Oh, we have a lot of great ones before that, which reminds me, I should check on them. So excuse me. – Ok. – Maxie was younger than georgie at the first nurses’ ball. Now, look at her. She’s running the show. – Time sure flies, doesn’t it? That’s one thing I know for sure. And if the nurses’ ball could have all of its unexpected acts happen, including mac’s surprise acts over the years, it can handle anything.

[Laughter] – Well, I remember my first performance. I was absolutely petrified. Everything was a big blur. And when it was over, the one thing I knew for sure, that I was better off in the audience. – I remember being furious at robin and stone’s romeo and juliet scene. I mean, I was so mad at kevin and the kids, my stand-up became a tirade.

[Laughing] – Oh, we can laugh about it now. At least you were a hit. – Yeah, not with robin. – [Chuckles] – Oh, well, what about my act? – At least your situation with robin didn’t end up in an out and out brawl. – Talk about the show must go on. – Oh, I–I had no idea what the nurses’ ball would come to mean to robin personally or to the whole community. – Yeah. With all of the surprises and the loved ones lost, I’m really proud of the tradition that we started in those days. And I’m even more proud that we’re continuing it on tonight. – Hear, hear.

[Dramatic music]

– Oh, my gosh. I am so, so sorry. – [Groans] Back off! – I think your mother’s looking for you. – Ok. Um, are you ok? – Yeah, I’m fine. Linc and I have some business to discuss. Ow. – What the hell was that?

[Suspenseful music] – Lucy, no! – Victor’s men will have surrounded the house! They’re coming in front and back! – Oh, my god. Oh, my god. We’re–we’re trapped. – No, we’re not. You got out your window before, remember? – Ok. Right, right! We can all go out that way. – Anna, go with her! – No, come on. – No. – Come on. Come on. – Lucy, leave now. – No, I’m not leaving you! No! No! – Lucy, you have to go. – Ok, but I’m getting help. – Now, go. Go. This is your last chance to get out alive. – I’m not leaving you. – They’re gonna be in here any minute. – Well, they won’t like what they find. – Oh, thank you. – Yeah. – [Laughs] But you really don’t have to wait on me. – Well, it gives me an excuse to escape the muckety mucks and talk with you. – [Laughs] Well, they’re not all muckety mucks, and you never need an excuse to talk to me. – Good to know. So how are things with gladys? – I’m not sure what you mean. You spoke to her earlier. She seemed fine. – Oh, no, no, no. No, gladys is having a great time. I was asking about you. When you found out that she sold your husband’s garage, you were pretty upset. – Yeah. Actually, that still bothers me, but gladys had good reasons. It had to be a painful reminder for her to deal with that every day, all the paperwork, constantly seeing brando’s name. She sold it to give us both closure. – But I mean, did she even go over the details of the sale with you, you know? Do you know who the new owner is? – Actually, I don’t think so. Why are you– – sasha. I wondered where you disappeared to.

[Chuckles]

– Clear! – [Gasps] Oh, valentin. You’re alive! The question is, for how long? – [Laughing] Oh, I must be the luckiest mother-in-law in the world. – Aw, thank you, gladys. I love seeing you enjoying yourself. – Oh, cody.

[Scoffs] Almost forgot. Dante was asking for you. It sounded important. – Really? Uh, well, thanks. I’ll go check that out. Excuse me. – What? – Are you all right? – Why wouldn’t I be? – That cody fella, I’ve heard things about him. He’s not a reliable character. – Hey. – Do you have time to talk shop? – About the late deputy mayor? – Yeah. I got a call on the red carpet. Preliminary autopsy indicates there was no air in her lungs. Eileen ashby didn’t drown. She was killed by a fall. – So she either jumped, she slipped, or– – somebody pushed her. – We need to check her known associates. – Start with victor cassadine. – Ow.

[Sighs] – What you did just now, interrupting me while I was recruiting new talent, comes perilously close to violating our agreement. – Per our agreement, I mentioned nothing to josslyn about you being a sleazebag. – I pay well for your silence. You got your songs back. Sometimes I think I overpaid. Those songs are good. And who would believe what you have to say about me, anyway? I’m going to track down josslyn jacks. – Sam, I told you how beautiful you look? – Um, no, but thank you. You look handsome yourself. – Thank you. So what’s up? Why did you need to see me? – What are you talking about? – Uh, gladys corbin said you were looking for me. – She did, huh? Well, I kind of avoid her as much as possible– you know, the whole not being able to choose your relatives thing. – [Chuckles] Wait a minute. Gladys really told you that dante was looking for you? – I kid you not. – Ok, well, I wonder why she would do something like that. – Hello. – Hey. – Hi. – Mind if I join you? – Oh, by all means. – Of course, of course. Sit down. – Oh, thank you. – Everything ok? – Trina’s having such a good time, and it’s all I can do not to go over there and talk to her. But I don’t want to put a damper on her evening, so I’m just– – it’s not always going to be like this. – That’s what I keep telling myself. – You know, for what it’s worth, my dad and I were estranged– estranged for a lot of years, but he never gave up on me. And I don’t think trina’s going to take nearly as long to realize how much she needs you. – Good evening. I’m deanna sirtis, a nurse with general hospital. Tonight, I have the pleasure of introducing a phenomenal talent to our stage. This amazing artist was already established and accomplished in her career as a public defender. She stepped out of her comfort zone to pursue her dream of touching people with her god-given talent, and we should all be grateful she did. Everyone, please welcome danielle ponder.

[Applause]

[Cheers and applause]

– Any sign of lucy coe? – No, just an open bedroom window. – [Groans] So the bird has flown? No matter. I’ll take care of that later. – You weren’t exactly subtle taking the house, dad. Someone from the neighborhood will have contacted law enforcement. I’m sure they’re on their way. – Oh, is that so? – Well, these are the suburbs. So if you don’t want a lengthy gun battle with the police, I think maybe you should probably leave. – [Scoffs] Suggesting that I just turn around and walk away after going to all this trouble to track you and anna down? I’m not going anywhere till I get what I came for. And you, valentin, are going to give it to me. – Danielle, thank you so much, again, for performing tonight. – Aw, thank you. You know, the nurses’ ball funds really important work, and I’m just happy to lend my voice for the cause. – Oh, you did more than lend your voice. You blew the room away. They would still be applauding if we hadn’t closed the curtains. – I agree. I agree. Hi. – Hi. – I’m carly spencer. My mom, bobbie, is maxie’s co-chair, and I shamelessly used my connections to come back here just so I could meet you. – Nice to meet you, carly. – You were so amazing. I mean, of course, for your incredible voice and lyrics, but just as much for leaving your law career and following your dreams. How did you have the courage to do that? – You know, it just got to the point where I knew I couldn’t do both, and I could never leave behind music, so I just completely surrendered. – You followed your instincts. – Sounds like you know something about that. – [Laughs] – Yeah, carly’s kind of known for following her instincts, no matter where they lead. – And I’ve never regretted it. – Neither have I. – Yes.

[Laughter] – Apparently, cody was dating dr. Britt westbourne, the late. May she rest. – I know, gladys. – Ok, but–but I overheard maxie saying that britt found out he was no good and broke things off. Something to do with a necklace. – A necklace? – Yeah. I don’t know the details, but it concerns me. You are just starting to get your life back on track, sasha. I’d hate to see it derailed by somebody trying to work you for your money. – A shot of tequila, please. – Does my uncle know that you’re drinking on the job? – I don’t know. Maybe you should run and tell him. – You’re here tonight to work, not to suck down tequila shots and pretend that you belong. – I got a ticket like everyone else. – A ticket that my uncle sonny bought you. You are an employee, so how about you get back to work? – Spencer. What are you doing?

[Dramatic music]

– Bobbie. The ball’s going great. – Yeah. – Yeah. – Do you need something? – I was thinking of starting up a epiphany johnson scholarship fund for the nursing students. So I wanted to… add to my donation in the name of stone cates. – [Sighs] Sonny, I’ve never– I’ve never been ok with the way you’ve treated my daughter, but you have always been very generous when it comes to the nurses’ ball. And the way you took care of stone was nothing short of heroic. – Stone was a special person, and we did everything we could for him. And when he lost his fight with aids, I vowed to continue in his memory. Listen, giving the nurses’ ball donations, aids and hiv research, I– that’s the least I can do. – Damn you, sonny. You do have your moments. This is definitely one of them.

[Laughter] Stone would be very proud of you.

oh then you take me by the hand I feel better again oh I feel better now – I want the ice princess necklace, the real one. – Last I heard, it was destroyed by fire. – This is your very last chance, valentin. I wasn’t able to claim you as a child, but I watched over you all along, smoothing the way for you. I’m the one who got you into the wsb. Yeah. As it turns out, that was a bad mistake, as that’s where you first became fixated with miss devane. – I proved myself worthy of the wsb on my own merit. – Oh, you’d like to believe so, I know. I’m sure you do. And it’s true, you– you were a brilliant analyst. But this, this life you’re so proud of building for yourself, it was built with my influence. You did nothing without my help. – You want a thank-you card? – So imagine my disappointment when after stepping forward to claim you, after acknowledging you as my child, you rejected me. You lied. You manipulated me. You sided with my enemies. You even faked your own death, for god’s sake! I spent weeks arguing with french bureaucrats, trying to claim your body! Weeks consumed with guilt, mourning my son, who wasn’t even dead. I should kill you right now and have done with it. But I won’T. I’ll give you one more chance to redeem yourself, to step up as a cassadine! Do what’s right for your family, and give me the necklace!

[Dramatic music] – Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’m on a schedule and due backstage, so– – what was that, calling dex an employee? – That’s what he is. He’s supposed to be protecting my uncle sonny, not drinking tequila shots. – Spencer, stop. God, I can’t– I can’t believe this. – Trina, listen. – No, you listen.

[Scoffs] I hate when you act like this, acting like some ugly entitled jerk lording your privilege around. I thought you were done doing that. I guess I was wrong. I hate that I’m always wrong about you. God. – Trina. – Nice work. – Wait! – Nice work, spencer. Once again, you’ve hurt trina. – Oh, like the way that you did with cam? – Like you are in any position to judge. Ever since you got back to port charles, bringing the lovely esme with you, by the way, you have caused nothing but misery. So you know, why don’t you do us all a favor, especially trina. Go back to europe, and stay there. – How are y’all doing tonight? – Dex. Why don’t you pull up a chair, man? – Oh, thank you, but I can’T. Cody, it’s time. – Oh, time for what? – You’ll see. – Guess so. – Me? Wish me luck. – Why do you need that? – Well, let just say there’s things you do for your family you wouldn’t do for anyone else. Thanks. Uh, hi. Um, you know, when I first joined the staff at gh seven years ago, I was amazed at the way the city of port charles shows up for the hospital, the way you’re all showing up here tonight, including our next two performers, one who is very near to my heart. So please welcome to the stage, harrison chase and the fabulous blaze.

[Applause] – Whoo!

[“Arrest me”] – I know I never heard

you say you would forgive me

but, baby, that would be

way too easy

– the night drive brings us to a better place

alone at last

where the pain is left

and the love moves fast

oh, I’m begging you, begging you

begging you, begging you, baby

won’t you slow down and save me

save me, save me, save me, oh

this is our denial

oh, your green eyes

telling me lies

this is our denial

endless heartbreaks

like rolling the dice

– I promise to be true, but not only to you

trust is a game I know you’re gonna lose – if you let me in and open your heart

I’ll fill the void you’ve got

this is our denial

oh, your green eyes

telling me lies

this is our denial

endless heartbreaks

like rolling the dice

this is our denial

oh, your green eyes

telling me lies

this is our denial

but this hurricane

has kept me alive

you kept me alive

[Cheering]

[Rhythmic clapping]

– This is our denial – oh, your green eyes

telling me lies – this is our denial – endless heartbreaks

like rolling the dice

this is our denial

oh, your green eyes

telling me lies – this is our denial – but this hurricane

has kept me alive

you kept me alive

[Cheers and applause]

– Our new single drops wednesday. Don’t forget to download it! – Hey, how about them, huh? Weren’t they great? Take another bow. Get up here. – Get your hands off her, you disgusting creep! – Whoa.

[Audience mumbling] – You’ve been very upfront about my life and my accomplishments. Do you mind if I return the favor? – I prefer you return the necklace. – It was never your necklace. – I am the head of the cassadine family. The ice princess necklace, by rights, belongs to our family. – You know, you have a tendency to conflate your megalomania with the family. Whatever your grand plan, no other cassadine cares– not spencer, not nikolas, wherever he is, not alexis or her daughters, and certainly not me. This is just a giant waste of time and energy. I do not have the necklace. – Huh. You’re going to make this difficult. Well, I’d have expected nothing less. I have to admit, I’m going to enjoy the next part. – Oh! Uh! – No! – Ah! – Unless you give me the necklace, watkins will break the lovely anna’s neck and leave her paralyzed. – I don’t have the damn necklace! – [Gasps] No necklace. – See, I had thought of–of killing anna, but then I thought, well, where’s the fun in that? I wonder, my dear, how long your boyfriend is going to go on loving you when you can no longer stand. – This man deserves no credit for chase and blaze’s appearance here tonight, nor for their talent! He calls himself a manager? He’s a parasite! – Watch yourself. – He latches himself onto young talent, and he exploits them both financially and sexually. Linc told me that he would kill my career if I didn’t sleep with him, which he tried to do. Linc owned all my songs, and the only way I could get them back was to sign a non-disclosure agreement. But I’m breaking that agreement here tonight. I refuse to remain silent about who and what linc brown is– a sexual predator! – These are obvious lies. No one will corroborate a word.

[Dramatic music]

– Spencer cassadine? – Yes? – I’m here to deliver a message. Your uncle will be contacting you soon. Be ready when he does, and do exactly as you’re told.

[Ominous music]

– Brook lynn could have been a star, but now she’s just a jealous has-been making up stories to try and keep herself relevant. – Ok, it’s time to clear the stage. – She’s not lying! – Whoa. – He did it to me too! Everything that brook lynn said has happened to me! Linc brown is a predator, and he’s been holding my career hostage! But I didn’t sign a nondisclosure agreement. I’m going on the record, tonight! – You’re caught up in her hysteria. – Go to hell! – It’s time to clear the stage. – Watch it. You’re not a cop anymore. – No, I’m a cop. And you know what? You’re creating a public disturbance. Let’s go. – Get him out of here.

[Cheers and applause]

[Tense music]

[Smooth jazz music]

– Hi, everyone. Are you having a good time?

[Cheers and applause] It’s a great night, isn’t it? Yeah. Thank you so much for being here. And as co-owner of the metro court, I am so happy to be able to use this ballroom for such a worthy cause. It also affords me the privilege of being able to introduce our next performers. Please welcome to the stage georgie spinelli, james west, and their oma, liesl.

[Cheers and applause]

[Regal music]

– Ladies and gentlemen, tonight you’ve seen singers and dancers. – And llamas.

[Laughter] – But now, it’s time for some real magic. James?

[Playful music]

[Applause] Tonight, with the help of our incredible assistant… – we will perform illusions to surprise and delight you. – Now, for our first illusion. You see we have an empty tube, nothing special or unusual. And you can see there is nothing inside or outside. But when we add a little bit of magic– – wow!

[Cheers and applause]

– For our next illusion, we will make water disappear. – So here we have a normal pitcher of water– you know, nothing strange or unusual. But before we make this water disappear, what’s your favorite color? – Ooh, um, blue! – Blue. Ok, james, a little magic, please.

[Gasps]

[Cheers and applause] – Now to make the water disappear. Georgie, we need some more magic, please. – [Gasps]

[Cheers and applause] For our next illusion, we will make our assistant disappear.

[Gasping]

[Suspenseful music]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Door opening] – I’ve seen combat, but, I don’t know, this feels scarier. – Eh, no worse than being thrown from a bull. – You done this before? – Hell no. Just a whole bunch of other stupid stuff.

[Gasping] – Wow!

[Cheers and applause] – Now we will bring our assistant back. – Oh. – Uh-oh! – Oh, no! – Oh. – Oh. – Ah, finally. That’s more like it. Ah. Release them.

[Groans] – You know, the tragedy is that we could have done this together, valentin, you and me, father and son. Instead I’ve had to choose another heir to carry on the cassadine name. Your betrayal broke my heart, so it’s only fair that I return the favor.

[Dramatic music]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Is the opening number ready to go? Hello? Is the audience seated? – Just about. – Ok. Bobbie, can you make sure that everyone’s together for the opening number? – Got it. – Got it. – Hi. Wow. You look great. How exciting. – Yeah. Yeah. I’m sure when this is all over, I’ll feel like it was worth it. – And now? – Well, believe it or not, the llama is one of our more professional artists. – Ugh. – I’m sorry, nina, but we really have things to do. – Save the drama for your llama. Yeah. I just came back here to say, you know, good luck. – Never say that. – Oh, yeah. I mean, break a leg. – You just going to stand there or you going to help me?

[Doorknob rattling] – Don’t you knock? – Where’s the fun in that? – I have to get changed. – Well, don’t let me stop you. – The ride share dropped lucy coe off at marigold and chestnut. We’re checking the houses nearby. – Discreetly? – Of course. – Well, that’s a good enough start. Where lucy is, there shall anna and valentine be, along with the necklace made from the ice princess. And those stones are key to saving the world.

[Shrieking] – Wait, lucy, are you ok? Wait. – The ball is about to begin. – Hi. I’m bobbie spencer. – And I’m maxie jones. And we would like to be the first to say… both: Welcome to the general hospital nurses’ ball.

[Applause] – Thank you. Thank you to all of you for coming out tonight to support hiv and aids research and patient services so that we might soon eradicate this virus and this disease for good.

[Applause] – The nurses’ ball has always been a spectacular event. But this year, we have turned things up a notch in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of general hospital. – As you all know, anything can happen at the nurses’ ball. – And it usually does so expect some surprises. – And let’s get on with the show.

[Bill withers, “lovely day”]

– When I wake up in the morning, love

and the sunlight hurts my eye

and something without warning, love

bears heavy on my mind. – Then I look at you both: And the world’s all right with me – oh just one look at you – and I know it’s gonna be all: A lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely, lovely day

a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

when the day that lies ahead of me

seems impossible to face – when someone else instead of me

always seems to know the way – then I look at you

and the world’s all right with me

yeah both: Just one look at you

and I know it’s gonna be

a lovely day. All: Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day – when the day that lies ahead of me – seems impossible to face – and when someone else instead of me – always seems to know the way all: Then I look at you

and the world’s all right with me

just one look at you

and I know it’s gonna be

a lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day

lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day

[Cheers and applause]

[Dramatic music]

– Look at this. The sparkle, the luster– – the insurance. – Oh, sasha. You are too good to me. – Where did you get that bracelet? And wow, you’re going to let her wear it? – It’s a loan from gelhorn. Deception just used it in a photo shoot. And I made arrangements for gladys to wear it tonight. – Ok. Ok. – It even comes with its own bodyguard. Oh. But I mean it. I mean it, sasha. The dress, this bracelet– you have really made my first nurses’ ball special. – I am grateful to everyone who helped me while I was struggling. No one has helped me more than you, gladys. – Look at you. You’re not struggling anymore? – I still have my days. But I’m finally ready to get back into the world, jump start my life again. – I guess that means the court will revoke gladys’s guardianship. You’ll be on your own two feet in no time. – This is gorgeous. – Yeah. It is. Gh really goes all out. Who pays for all this? – Oh, the vendors donate all the products and services. And all the money that’s raised goes to a charity that’s devoted to hiv and aids. You know, I’m really impressed that you agreed to perform, though. – Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, every once in a while, I do the right thing. – Hi, elizabeth. You look absolutely stunning. – Thank you. Cleaned up pretty well yourself. Can’t wait for the big duet. And thanks for the save on the red carpet. – Oh, I was just glad I could be there. – Hope you guys enjoy the ball. – Club soda, please. – Can I get a bourbon on the rocks? – Don’T. – But– – don’T. – Blaze, it’s brook lynn. – Come in. – How’s my favorite former songbird? Hey, isn’t this the room where that psycho slashed you? – Yeah. It fills me with nostalgia. Where’s blaze? – Look at her, brookie. Isn’t she just– – just get out. – What? Blaze needed help with her zipper. – Not from you. Ok. I will help blaze with whatever she needs. – I am her manager. – Right now, you are leaving. Now go. What the hell is he doing in here? Blaze, did linc try something? Are you ok? – I’m just so proud of everybody. I’m so proud. And it’s breaking my heart that I can’t be there. – I’m devastated for you. If only our lives didn’t depend on our staying away from the nurses’ ball. – I know. I know that. I know that. You’ve made it very clear. So if you’ll excuse me, I’m just going to go and finish the ball in my room. – Bye, lucy. Oh dear. – I’m sorry. I know this is difficult for you, too. – Mm-hmm. Being there always makes me feel close to robin. But… I understand it jeopardizes everyone’s safety. You think victor’s looking for us? – 100%. – You don’t think he’s just left town? – Victor wants to get his hands on the ice princess necklace. And he’s not going to give up until he finds us. – We checked all the houses in a three block radius. No sign of them. – Yeah, well, of course, lucy coe is savvy enough not to be dropped right outside the house she, anna, and valentine are hiding out in along with my necklace. Widen the search, again discreetly. – Of course. – And when you find the house, no one is to approach without my direct order. – Ok. I’m going to go find tj. – So I couldn’t help but notice your little traffic jam with you, and portia and jordan. – You saw that, huh? – Yeah. How you doing? – You know, you look stunning. – Way to get off the subject. As do you. – Look, nina. Why don’t we make a deal? Neither one of us will ask the other how they’re doing. Just sit back and enjoy the festivities. – Deal. – You are always the prettiest girl at the party. – Thank you very much. And thank you for the refill. – What are you doing? – It’s chief scorpio. I thought we could just make sure that he sees us. – No. No. No. No. – Wait. – No. We don’t want to seek out the cops. – We don’t? – We just want to give them the opportunity to notice us. – Ok. How do we do that? – It’s very easy. We act like we’re having fun. – Ha. Like that? – Perfect. – Ok. – Can I get a club soda please? Thank you. – Hi. – Hi. What? Stop it. – Stop what? – Looking at me like I’m, um– – beautiful. I’m sorry. I can’t help it. I’m still kicking myself for letting sydney val jean tell you how beautiful you look before I could. – Well, you got there eventually. – For the record, the only reason I hesitated was because I was speechless. I should have offered to escort you here tonight so that I could arrive with you on my arm. – As an accessory? – No. No. You’re no one’s accessory. But I thought that you might want to arrive with me because– well, just because. And I should have asked. – Why didn’t you?

– So when you told sydney val jean that we were just friends– – I mean you said the same thing. We were on live tv with like a microphone in our face. And I–what we were going to say? – Did you mean it? – Did you? – Trina. You look–you look amazing. – Thank you, mr. Corinthos. You look very stylish yourself. – Thank you. – Can I have a second with my nephew? – Actually, trina and I, we were just– – getting a drink. But mine just came so I’ll let y’all talk. – All right. Can I ask you a question? And I need you to answer honestly. – All right. – Where is victor? – Gladys. – What do you want? – Where you heading? – As if it’s any of your business. I’m headed to the ladies room. – Yeah? Sure you’re not heading to a pawn shop to see how much you can get for that bracelet? – This bracelet is on loan from the jewelers. It’s not mine. – Yeah. Brando’s garage wasn’t yours either and you sold that. – I had expected uncle victor to be in attendance tonight but so far I haven’t seen him. – When’s the last time you talked to victor? – A few hours ago. – Where? – Uncle sonny, what’s going on? – Did he tell you he checked out of the metro court? – What? No. – Did he say anything about leaving town? – Not a word. – What you got? – It’s a piano. I found it in the attic. Tidied it up a bit. I think it may have been morgan’s or michael’S. – It’s a very baby grand. What do you intend to do with that? – We can’t be at the nurses’ ball this year. I thought we could have our own. – Oh. Ok. Well, lucy has a dress. You have a piano. What do I get? – Well, you get a song, darling. – You going to sing for me? – From a tiny piano on the floor, to you, the one that I adore.

[Soft music]

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky

all your best intentions quickly gone awry

you can trust in me to be your alibi

if you believe in love

when you press your face against my window pane

I can offer shelter from the pouring rain

sit beside the fire

I’ll get you warm again

if you believe in love

nights are getting colder

dreams keep getting older

options disappearing by the day

nothing lasts forever

broken pieces can fit together

and I’ll be volunteering, come what may

surely nothing ever goes as we have planned

I can handle anything

just take my hand

and if you have to leave me, I will understand

but I believe in love

– Hi. – You look amazing. – Thanks. – We shouldn’t be seen together. – Well, we’re not together. We’re just two people waiting for the bartender. – Could be a while. – Yeah, well, um, I’ll have to say something to management. – Here’s to you, tj. You were great up there. – Cheers to that. – Are you on call? – No. Why? – Well, that’s not your usual beverage. Either of you. – Molly and I are abstaining from alcohol. – Ok, any particular reason? – We’re trying to get pregnant. – [Gasps] Are you going to give me a grandchild? – That is the plan. – Aw. – [Chuckles] – Did you lose something? – My mother-in-law. – First of all, jackass, how I handle my business is none of yours, so stay out of it. – I’ll stay out of it if you tell sasha the truth. – And if I don’t? – I’ll tell sasha that you can’t stay away from the poker tables, and you’re using her assets to settle your debts. – Finn, what exactly happened between you and elizabeth at cameron’s goodbye party? Hello? Why are you ignoring me? – What’s going on with you? – What’s going on with me? What’s going on with you? – Wait, wait. Yeah? – Earplugs. Really? – Yeah, I’m listening to a message from violet. What are you sneaking up on me like that for? – I want to get in your business. – Didn’t I tell you not to? – I just want to know. You and elizabeth, you guys seem pretty, you know. – Hey, wait, wait, wait. Ok, go ahead now. – Good talk. – Yeah.

[Piano music]

– Thanks. I’ll be fine. – Are you sure? Because that didn’t– – brook lynn, I’m handling linc. – But I can help. – Let me accompany you to any and all meetings with linc, especially the ones that are not public. – Well, I appreciate that. I do, but linc is my manager. How would that work? – Well, you and chase are collaborating, and I’m chase’s manager. So I have a legit interest. – That’s a stretch. – It’s better than going it alone. What do you say? – I’ll think about it.

[Knocking] – Hey, it’s me. – Come in. – What are–uh, is everything ok? – Yeah, fine. Excuse me a second. I need to make a call. – She was obviously upset. – Blaze will be fine. Just leave her alone. – Do you want her to live her life the way that you do? Everyone for themselves? – Have you gained access to the backstage area? Then I take it it’s done. Good. Now it’s just a matter of time. – You sent ambrose to the metro court? – He’s on a special errand. When I leave port charles, I’m taking someone with me.

[Applause] – Hi, me again. I would like to introduce nurse elizabeth baldwin.

[Applause] – Thank you, maxie. Many of you know, a few days ago, we lost a beloved member of our gh family, nurse epiphany johnson. Epiphany did everything with her heart and soul. She was most passionate about nursing, healing people, saving them when she could. But she also had a gift for music, a gift she shared with us through her many spectacular performances right here at the nurses’ ball. So tonight, we dedicate this ball to our friend. Epiphany, we love you. We miss you. You will never ever be forgotten.

[Somber music]

bute to epiphany, huh? – Losing epiphany was a blow. I mean, she could put anybody in her place– jason, me, even carly. I’m gonna miss her. – Yeah, I know. Look, you’re going through a lot right now, and to lose a friend on top of it– – don’t worry about me. I’m–I’m good. – Ok, but I said it before, and I’ll say it again. I’m your son, all right? And I’m here for you. – And one more thing. We need to be extra careful that people are not walking off with their body mics. Tackle them if you have to. – On it. – Thank you. – Thirsty? – Oh my gosh, thank you so much. – I’m a nurse. I live to hydrate. I have to say, maxie, I think you’re doing a wonderful job with– – wait a minute. There were three chainsaws there just a second ago. Now there are only two.

[Chainsaw buzzing] Oh, no. – Did you hear that? – Thank you. – I have written several songs for you. I can’t believe I got to sing you one. – How do you do that? – What? – You kind of make earnest appreciation very sexy. – Well, considering who I’m appreciating, I think the question answers itself.

[Phone chimes] – Hang on. Oh, it’s sonny. He said spencer saw victor at the metro court, and he didn’t– he checked out. – Knock, knock. Is it safe? – Yes, yes. Come on in. – Um, I, uh– I just have to tell you that– I wasn’t overhearing on purpose, but your song was absolutely beautiful. – Oh. – So I didn’t want my extreme need for snacks to somehow disturb an intimate moment. – Thank you. – Yeah. – How’s it all going? Maxie following your micromanaging? – Yeah, yeah. Uh, so far, so good. I mean, of course, you should have seen the chaos this afternoon. I mean, it was madness. An army is only so good as their general. – What chaos, lucy? – How would you know what’s happening at the metro court? – Maybe, just maybe, I did a little bit more than text maxie. – I’m not an everyone for themselves kind of person. I don’t want to be alone, but sometimes life just works out that way, obviously. – I’m sorry. – I’m sorry, too. I’m sorry I ever signed that nda with linc to get my songs back. I knew it was the wrong move, but I was selfish. So I did it anyway. I let you down. Actually, the worst part is I let down all the women who will have to deal with linc, but I let you down, too. That’s what hurts me the most. – What hurts me the most is that you let yourself down. – Thanks for waiting. Chase, I think we should run through our steps one more time. – Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure. – Let me know if you need anything before you go on. – Trina, there you are. – Here I am. – I–I’m sorry that we got interrupted before. I was going to bring up our kiss. So I take it that that’s something that we’re both in favor of doing again? – Yes. – That’s great. Great choice. Um– – [Chuckles] – Yeah, me too. Ok, so for clarity’s sake– – oh, I–I love clarity. – Right, yeah, clarity is the best. Ok, um, so for clarity’s sake, that would mean that we– that would mean that you and I are… together. – Yes. Together. – Trina! – Damn it, joss, you have the worst timing. I– – ok. What are you doing? We have to get backstage. We’re almost up. – Ok. – Ok. – To be continued. – Definitely.

[Applause] – I am very proud to introduce the next act. I’ve known one of these young performers since the day she was born, but they are both, in every way, exceptional. So may I present to you trina robinson and my very own granddaughter, josslyn jacks.

[Cheers and applause]

[Pop music]

– Take a se at right overthere, sat on the stairs – stay or leave

in the middle, middle

[Cheers and applause] – Ambrose is in position at the metro court. – Minerva is in a house with valentin and lucy holed up. – Instruct them to surround the house. We’ll take it on my signal. – Rules of engagement? – I need my son and anna devane alive. Lucy coe is just a nuisance. Eliminate her. – Trina was so wonderful. – She was! So proud of her. – Making any progress with her? – Um, just a little bit. – She’ll come around. – No, she will. She will eventually, because I’m never going to give up on my daughter. – Honey, you were fantastic. – Oh, thank you. We were, weren’t we? – Well, good for you, because false modesty always makes me want to grind my teeth. Anyway, I have to go. I have to get back to my hosting duties. – Ok, we’ll see you out there. – Josslyn, you are a star.

[Chuckles] – She’s right, you know. – Excuse me? – I know talent. And you definitely have it. In my hands, you could go all the way to the top. – Uh, I could see that maxie was in way over her head, so I knew that I had to act. So, yes, I went to the metro court, but guess what? I promise, nobody recognized me. Nobody. – No, wait, wait. You went to the metro court. – Uh, yeah. Just the lobby. No–no further. I got there, solved that problem. Then I made it back here quick as a little bunny. – Lucy, how did you get there? – Don’t worry. I did not obviously give the car service my exact address. – I left. I walked a half a mile down, and then coming back, I had them drop me at the far corner, like way down the street. Way down the street. Everything’s fine. – We have to leave now.

– So your act is on soon. – [Chuckles] – Are you ready for the spotlight? – Please, me and the spotlight are old friends. – What are you kids talking about? – Old friends. – Trina! You were incredible! You were amazing! You are so much better than josslyn.

[Laughter] – You’re being biased. – No, not at all. – Trina! You and josslyn were so amazing. – Thank you. Thank you. – I was just saying the same thing. – Ok, all right. Where’s joss? – Thank you, but I’m not really interested in a music career. – Oh, come on. Don’t say no to something before you hear all the reasons to say yes. – Excellent. Thank you. Now. – Come on, let’s go. – Well, obviously I’m going. – Your trip to the metro court has cost us our location, so victor can find us easily. – I don’t want to go. I do not want to go because the nurses’ ball isn’t even at the break yet. – Lucy, if we don’t get going now, we are dead for real this time. Got it? – Can I just get some snacks? – Just put it– – hurry up! – Put it down. Come. Come. – Valentine! Move! Move!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Lively jazz music]

[Sighs] Ok, people. People! The guests are gonna be arriving any minute. The doors are about to open, and the show is about to begin.

Maxie, bobbie, I don’t want to freak anyone out, but I don’t think the new accompanist has the updated sheet music. Oh, it’s ok. I got it. I’ve got it right here. Oh, my goodness. Maybe we are gonna pull this thing off after all.

[Phone ringing] We’re gonna do it. Tell that to lucy.

[Phone ringing] Huh? Oh, um, what I meant was wherever she is, I’m sure lucy is smiling down at us.

[Soft dramatic music] Bobbie and maxie-they’ll never pull it off, never. They’re in over their heads. They have no idea everything that can go wrong and surely will at the nurses ball tonight without me there to guide them.

[Phone ringing] Excuse me. I need to answer this. Ok, so let’s go look for her. I do not have time to talk to you right now. Maxie, ooh, do not hang up. Do not ignore me or else. Maxie. Call me after we wrap.

Ooh. I will not be ignored!

[Sighs] Oh. Yeah. You know, our little girl can sleep through almost anything, that is until 2:00 A.M. Well, then we should be able to watch the nurses ball without interruption. All right, let’s take a seat. And if you fall asleep on my shoulder, that is ok too. Tomorrow’s a big day, and you need all your strength. I don’t want to think about tomorrow and the procedure. Tonight I just want to watch our friends and family dressed up to the nines and performing for a great cause. Ok.

Well, good evening, everyone.

I am sydney val jean, east coast editor of “crimson magazine,” and we are live on the red carpet here at the 2023 general hospital nurses ball. That’s right. I am back and flying solo tonight. It is my pleasure to interview the arrivals, critique their fashion, and get a little down low on their personal lives. But first I want to pay tribute to general hospital itself, which opened its doors on april 1, 1963. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Our beloved general hospital is 60 years old. Oh, this place has meant so much to so many over the years, myself included, and I am honored to be here to celebrate its 60th anniversary. On a more somber note, tonight is dedicated to the life of the late head nurse epiphany johnson and the late lucy coe, whose time here at the nurses ball was more than an event. It was her life’s work. Oh. They love me. They really love me. So anyway, don’t change that dial there, port charles. Leave it right where it is because I can promise you this. We are in for a night of thrills…

[Laughs] Excitement, and mystery. And remember, at the nurses ball, anything can happen, and it probably will.

[Ominous music] Oh, you have no idea.

[Dramatic music]

And now to get this party started, the dynamic duo, the driving forces behind this very special nurses ball, my former colleague at “crimson,” maxie jones, and the one, the only, the awesome nurse barbara jean spencer.

[Laughter] Ew, bobbie. Do you really think that’s your best look? Did you even think about consulting a stylist? Well, hello, ladies. Hello, sydney. You look wonderful. I’m so happy that you’re here. Oh, my goodness. So ok, so there’s a story behind this, folks. I was supposed to be in milan this week, but when maxie reached out and explained that the date of the nurses ball had been moved up to sync with the hospital’s 60th anniversary, well, milan had to wait. There was no way I was gonna miss this. Oh, we are so glad that you adjusted your schedule. I mean, tonight is a very special evening, and you make it even better. Ok. Let’s get down to business. Who are you wearing? Cartullo. Maha cheng. Well chosen. And you both should be congratulated for your fashion and for staging this spectacular event in record time. Quite an achievement. Well, bobbie and i have followed the example set by lucy coe through many successful years of the nurses ball. It’s safe to say lucy’s spirit is guiding us tonight. I only hope we can make her proud. Thank you, maxie. That is so sweet. Ok. Credit where credit is due. It is your extraordinary talent and commitment that is making tonight happen.

Well, as a member of the gh community, I am just happy, and I’m grateful to be here tonight. Ok, since you ladies are staying so humble, I am going to brag because I’ve been told by multiple sources that this is going to be the best nurses ball ever. Oh. Really? The best nurses ball ever without me? I don’t think so. Next year, we’re gonna walk down this red carpet, and you are going to be the envy of every fashionista here to manhattan. I don’t want to think that far ahead. Tonight, I’m exactly where I want to be.

[Tender music]

[Knocking] Uh, come in. Oh my, my. Oh. You know, I heard they’re looking for a new james bond. That is high praise coming from my fiancéE. But you know, she’s got a point though, you know. Well, that’s very nice of you guys. Thank you, I just didn’t want to head to the nurses ball without coming to see you both and tell you that you’ll be missed. Yeah, willow and i actually we’re just talking, and we’re right where we want to be.

Have a wonderful time tonight.

Thanks again for hosting, sydney, but I’ve got to get backstage. Oh, you go, girl. You go. Oh, look. It’s a red carpet family reunion. Three generations of fabulous spencer women are with me tonight. That’s bobbie’s daughter, carly spencer, the ex-mrs. Sonny corinthos, and her gorgeous daughter josslyn jacks. Wow. Your mom looks gorgeous tonight.

So, carly, I know there’s been some changes for you in the last year.

Mm, a few. Well, you seem to be weathering them in style. Well, what can I say? With my mother and my daughter by my side and the love and support of my family and friends, I’m up for any challenge. Mm, well, everyone knows you’re a fighter, carly. Any interest in reclaiming any of what was once yours? Well, to quote a great man, “success is not final. “Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.” Poetic but short on details. Look, I’ve always truly gotten whatever I wanted, and I don’t expect that to change. Uh-huh. And what about you, josslyn? I’ve heard that you’re a lot like your mom and grandmother. Well, I hope so. Well, do you usually get what you want?

[Lively jazz music] So far so good. Ladies, enjoy the show. Thank you so much. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, this night keeps getting better. Sonny corinthos has just joined us.

[Soft dramatic music]

I feel bad not being there to run interference for my mom and sister. Carly and joss don’t need anyone to stand up for them. So, so true. Anyway, I better get going. Have so much fun. Hey, give everyone our best. I will. I get that drew and your mom can’t go public because of the whole insider trading thing, but I sure hope that she’s better at hiding her feelings than he is. I like that they don’t have to hide their feelings around us. Because we’re a family. You said it.

[Tender music]

All right. Come on.

[Lively jazz music]

Let’s all play nice tonight. I will on my end. Come on. Let’s get going. Mr. Corinthos. Hello, sydney. Call me sonny. It’s great to see you tonight. Ah. Just so you know, this is the highlight of my evening. You know, you just get handsomer every year. And you just get more gorgeous. I can’t imagine. Ok. I appreciate a man who knows how to pay a compliment. And with dimples. Ha, even better. Ok. So now who is this with you? He’s–he’s-he’s my bodyguard. Oh. And do you have a name, bodyguard? Dex heller. Ok. Nice to meet you, dex heller. Listen, you do a good job protecting this man. He’s very valuable to a lot of people. Understood. Mm-hmm. So I’m surprised that you’re here alone with just your bodyguard, sonny, but where is my former red carpet co-host, the gorgeous nina reeves tonight? Oh, oh, there she is. I just–oh. And with a very fine, unexpected guest.

I just think we’re gonna need more time for the results. That’s all. Hi. I’m so sorry to interrupt but, doc, you seem to have forgotten that you have plans tonight. You, me, and the nurses ball. Right. I really want to. I’m not sure how to manage this. Dr. Robinson just asked me to do a consult. Oh, no, no, no. Go. Make yourself handsome. You have to walk the red carpet. You have to make a splashy entrance. Don’t want to be late. She sounds like a woman with a very specific plan. It’s ok. I can hold down the fort. Ok. Thanks. I’ll be right back. So why aren’t you ditching that lab coat and slipping into your sexiest gown? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I won’t be going. Curtis will be there, and that’s why I picked up a shift tonight. Curtis filed for divorce. No. No. Not that I know of. Well, then he’s still your husband, isn’t he? And trina is still your daughter. Ok. So you made a mistake. Big mistake, but it’s not like you burned the city to the ground. My unsolicited advice, use that ticket.

[Tender music] Sydney, always a pleasure. Absolutely.

[Lively jazz music]

Nina. Oh, it’s been way too long. And I’m so sorry to have missed you at both the paris and new york fashion week. Well, I certainly hated missing out but you represented “crimson” brilliantly, sydney. Oh, well, thank you. Now you are looking flawless as usual, nina, as is your escort, curtis ashford, the hottest nightclub owner in port charles. I mean the club is hot, and so are you. Why thank you. I mean it. Any time. Yeah. So nina, the last time that we were here on the red carpet together co-hosting, this was carly’s hotel, and she was married to sonny, and now the hotel is yours, and I heard that the man is too. Any comment?

[Soft dramatic music]

It’s a little late to change anything, don’t you think? Is it really too late?

Wait, what has the internet got to do with my hair? I’m just in my head, second guessing myself like I always do. It wouldn’t be fair to you or blaze to change anything now. It’s too late. So go have fun out there. Ok? Break a leg. Brook lynn, wait. Do you have a question on the song or-no. I just want you to know… that I think you’re incredible. I am? Yeah. The way you’ve thrown yourself into the rehearsals, really helping maxie and bobbie out. But you have a special touch. I mean, these performers, this isn’t exactly their day job, and you’ve convinced every single one of them to perform to the best of their ability and to have fun doing it. Well, anything for the nurses ball.

Well… tonight’s the big night, huh? Your music, you and blaze in the spotlight. It’s gonna be an incredible win-win for everybody. I’m gonna go change. Was it something I said? Yes. It’s always something you said.

[Camera shutters clicking]

[Lively jazz music] All right, ladies. This next arrival is just for you. That’s my boy.

Hitting the red carpet is port charles’ most eligible young bachelor, the one and only spencer cassadine. Well, I don’t know that I’m port charles’ most eligible bachelor, but I am certainly happy to be here tonight to represent my family. Well, that’s more like it, spencer. Show everyone what character and good breeding looks like. Your father may have failed us, but not you. You give those good people of port charles a glimpse into what the future is gonna look like.

Well, I understand the cassadines are one of the ball’s biggest underwriters.

Is that your doing? My grandmother always taught me that an important part of being a member of this city and of this community is being of service to others, and that means giving back. Oh, yes, indeed. Wow. Well said, spencer. And might I add, you look good. No. That’s-that’s good. I’m good. Thank you.

[Laughing] Everyone does. Really? I know it’s kind of-

[Lively jazz music] Yeah, I’m gonna leave you two alone.

Damn, you look good. But you always look good. Thank you. You look pretty good yourself. It’s a long ways from the firehouse dance in nixon falls. Yeah. I miss that old firehouse and the simplicity of that dance. You did so amazing, grandma. Oh, thank you so much, honey. Let me tell you this nurses ball is a great event, but I have-I have no regrets about agreeing to be co-chair, but after this week is over, I’m gonna sleep for another whole week. Pulling this off was a huge amount of work. I know. I know. I can only imagine. Mom, this place looks incredible. You really outdid yourself. Good job. Aw, thank you. And ooh, ooh, one minor adjustment. Excuse me. I will be back. Ok. You thinking about a certain someone who has to work so you can’t be with him tonight? I don’t know. Are you thinking about someone who isn’t here tonight? Now you’re the product of a fascinating legacy, spencer. Rumors about the cassadines range from mysterious and ruthless to-megalomaniacal. So they say. Meanwhile, your uncle is sonny corinthos, and your grandmother is one of my personal heroes, the legendary laura webber baldwin spencer collins. Any chance that she’ll be joining you tonight? My grandmother was looking forward to attending, but unfortunately, she’s been held up on some official business. But she does want everyone to know that she is with them in spirit and hopes that the night is a huge, huge, huge success. Oh, wait, so does this mean that you’re here alone? Will someone else be joining you tonight?

Trina. Well, trina robinson. You look nothing short of spectacular. Thank you. Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Lively jazz music] Ok. Tell me, just between the three of us, are you two an item, because there’s certainly been online buzz. Oh, we’re just friends. Good friends. Ok, spencer. Well, now that you have graced the red carpet, will we also be seeing your father, the elegant, mysterious nicholas cassadine? Yeah. You play your part? I’ll play mine. Ok, got it. Well, here’s a woman who hopefully can answer the question. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s ava cassadine. Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. You’re behind the times. Nicholas and i divorced months ago, so I’m back to ava jerome. But please give my ex-husband my regards, if you can find him. It’s not my job anymore to keep track of his comings and goings. Well, I couldn’t agree more. When it comes to exes, out of sight, out of mind. So who is this inspiring gentleman at your side? Well, this is dr. Gh himself. Oh, really? General hospital’s own dr. Austin gatlin-holt. Ah, yes. How appropriate that you’re accompanied by one of the dedicated health providers at gh. Yes. Well, after the very tumultuous year that I’ve had, I’m just fortunate to be here. And I feel so lucky to have a friend like austin to lean on. Oh. Well, anything you’d like to add dr. Gatlin-holt? Only that if you ask me, I’m the lucky one. Nice talking to you. Ah. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Chuckles]

[Camera shutters clicking]

This is the nurses ball red carpet, not some episode of “the bachelorette.” I mean sydney val jean is fabulous, but we do not want the gossip to overshadow the cause. You know what, maxie would have known this if she just listened to me but, no, maxie had to do it her way. Oh, well look who it is, pcpd commissioner jordan ashford looking dazzling and glamorous. Thank you for the kind words, but tonight I am off the clock. I am just here as one more fan of the nurses ball and its efforts to raise money for a terrific cause. Well, I admire your professional dedication as well as a killer gown. Oh. Well, what can I say? For work, I have to wear clothes that convey authority, so on the rare occasion I get to dress up, I jump at the chance.

[Phone ringing] Ah, excuse me. I need to take this. Oh.

[Chuckles] So much for off the clock. Am I right? Have you heard from the medical examiner? Then it’s almost certain that eileen ashby died from a fall. Speaking of gorgeous, it’s general hospital’s own dr. Portia robinson. Hi. Oh, portia. You know, you have something in common with my last guest, jordan ashford. We do? Yes. You both are committed to public service. We are. We are. But I think that that’s a good thing to have in common. Absolutely. Go ahead. Go ahead. Oh, thank you. You know she did that on purpose. That woman is fierce. But she makes for some good television though.

[Camera shutters clicking]

You look amazing. Oh, girl, so do you. Oh, it looks like a certain bodyguard is looking at you from across the room. Uh-huh. You know, I am surprised you noticed that between all the looks going on with you and spencer. Oh, I was just behind him on the red carpet. Oh, it almost seemed like he was waiting for you. No, he wasn’T. It was just-fate, coincidence, manipulation? Joss. I know. I know. I know. I’m sorry. He’s different when he’s with you. I get it, and I’m in no position to judge. Just be a little careful, please. If I get hurt, it’s not going to be because-I’m sorry. What were we talking about? Our performance and how there’s nothing to worry about because the number is perfect and we have it down cold. Right. I’m sorry about that. After you. No. No. I’m sorry. I wasn’t looking at where I was grabbing.

[Tense music]

All good. Oh, I am thrilled to welcome our next guest, one of port charles’s most dynamic power couples, pcpd detective dante falconeri side by side with his lady love, private investigator samantha mccall. Whoa. Oh. I got you. Oh. Thank you for the save. My pleasure. Ooh. Well, well. Hey. Disaster averted. Oh, hey, but proving the point that you can scale buildings and dodge bullets but there’s nothing more dangerous than the red carpet. Yeah, well, lucky for me I have somebody to catch my fall. Well, you know, for the record, you’re the one catching me most of the time. Ok. You two are a living, breathing relationship goal. Hey, you enjoy your night. And please welcome the president of aurora media, my publisher, mr. Drew kane. Very nice to see you here, sydney. Ah, it’s always nice to see you too, drew. And I’m not saying that just because you’re my boss. Ok, now, did you really come here alone or are you waiting for a special someone? What can I say? You never know. Oh.

[Laughs] That’s true. Ok, ladies. You are in for a treat. Please help me welcome one of our signature performers tonight, former pcpd detective turned pop star, harrison chase, and his equally dreamy brother, world-renowned dr. Hamilton finn.

[Lively jazz music]

Hey, brookie. It’s a good night for a nurses ball. Wouldn’t you say? Just leave me alone, linc. Can’t you see I’m busy? There’s no need to be hostile. Come on. We can play nice together, can’t we? You signed that non-disclosure agreement. You got your songs back. You can give them to your boyfriend to sing. Chase isn’t my boyfriend. Ok? Those songs came at quite the high price, never telling the world what kind of serial predator you really are. Careful, brook lynn. Don’t worry. It’s not on. That’s a good thing for you, because if you break our agreement, you break your silence, you lose everything.

[Ominous music]

Ok, I’m all for this family togetherness, but you two handsome, unattached bachelors could be making better use of your time. Now, isn’t there someone besides your brother that you would want to be with tonight? Well, uh-

I’m going to wait for you over here. Ok. Everyone was wondering if nurse elizabeth baldwin would be making an appearance tonight, and here she is. Oh, you look lovely, elizabeth. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Beautiful. Enjoy. Enjoy.

Hey, uh, I wasn’t sure you’d come tonight. You weren’t the only one. May I escort you? Sure you want to be seen with me? It’d be my honor.

[Camera shutters clicking]

Here you go, mr. Corinthos. Thank you very much. Hey. Sam, dante, you look good. How are you doing? So do you. You do too. It’s a special night. We wouldn’t have missed it. Well, at least sonny had the good grace not to walk the red carpet with nina, or is there another reason why he showed up with a bodyguard and no date? Yeah, um, sonny’s got a situation. Sonny has always got a situation. He better not bring it to the nurses ball. That’s all I have to say. I don’t think he would do anything to mess up the nurses ball. You know how important it is to him. Ok, yeah, I’ll give him credit for that. That’s all I will give him credit for. You don’t have to be mad at sonny on my account. No. I’m not mad on your account. I’m mad on my account. Well, maybe a little on yours. No. It’s actually hypocritical. I’m glad you’re away from sonny. I want to see you with somebody who’s going to treat you with all the consideration and all the love you deserve. You know what, mom, you just might get your wish.

And now please say hello to the face of deception herself, sasha gilmore, arriving solo. Oh. Oh, I spoke too soon. Sasha’s escorted by… cody bell. She’s being escorted by cody bell.

Cody bell. Yeah. And your producer should have prepped you. I would have prepped you for that. Mm. No. No. Don’t turn it off. I’m just–I’m just muting it during the commercials, although I am wondering if we should just record it and go to bed. I mean, after all, tomorrow is a huge day for you. No, the ball hasn’t even started yet. I want to see it. You sure? Absolutely. It’s exactly what the doctor ordered.

[Tender music] Well, we are just moments away from the start of the 2023 nurses ball. I’m sydney val jean saying good night. It has been my pleasure to serve as your host and catch you up on the movers and shakers of port charles. While the glitz, and the glamour, and the gossip has been smoking hot, this night is really about raising money to fight hiv and aids. Whatever you can give, a lot or a little, it all helps.

[Lively jazz music]

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2023 nurses ball is about to begin. 2023 marks the 60th anniversary of general hospital. Think of it, our beloved gh has been a home and haven for 60 incredible years. And since 1994, the nurses ball has been a way to support the life-giving work gh does. The nurses ball is a night of music, dancing, and laughter. Ok, and maybe a tear or two. So let’s open those doors and have a celebration to remember.

Well? We traced the car that the late lucy coe recently hired.

[Ominous music] I refuse to let tonight turn into a total disaster. What do they say? The show must go on. And I will be damned if I’m gonna let the show go on without me.

Well, now we know where to find lucy coe. And where we find lucy, there we find anna and valentine. Time to teach them a lesson, don’t you think? You’re the boss. Yes. That’s right.

I am. It’s showtime, folks.

Recap written by Eva

Maxie gets even more stressed out when a reporter tells her during an interview that one of the magic wands in the Magic Milo act dropped out of the show. Lucy is watching the news and since Maxie isn’t answering her calls she sneaks out of the safe house again to go save the Nurses Ball.

Spencer meets with his Uncle Victor who tells him that they need to get enough evidence against Esme so that DA Scorpio will reopen the case against her. Victor doesn’t tell Spencer that he plans to kill Esme to ensure that she doesn’t raise baby Ace.

Sonny tells Anna and Valentin to wait until he can find another safe house for them and not to leave town because Victor could find them sooner and he could kill them. Sonny assures Anna that Victor will pay for killing Luke and he will not have any influence over Spencer.

Ava tells Esme that she will be watching her and if her memory does return she will pay for everything she has done to her. Carly and Nina call a truce for Willow’s sake since Willow needs to be free of stress since her bone marrow transplant is tomorrow. Carly can tell that Nina is having a hard time dealing with the reality of Sonny’s business and she tells her that if she can’t handle Sonny’s business it means the end of their relationship.

Lucy suggests to Maxie that Mac replace the magic wand dancer that dropped out of the show. Maxie refuses to let her step-father be one of the magic wands and rushes Lucy out of the Metro Court before anyone can recognize her but Maxie is unaware that one of Victor’s men has followed Felicia to the Metro Court and has recognized Lucy. The man tells Victor that he saw Lucy at the Metro Court and she left in a fancy car from a car service.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– We never should have let eileen leave here without wearing a wire. – It’s not like we had a choice. She refused to go otherwise. I mean, all she had to do was drop off the counterfeit necklace and get out of there. – Well, she pushed her luck, and now she’s dead. – Assuming victor killed her. – Well, I don’t think the deputy mayor went swimming fully clothed for the hell of it. And the real question is, how much information did she give up before he killed her? – Maybe she told victor where we are, but she didn’t really know. – Either way, you cannot stay here. It is not safe. – We’ve got to get out of here. – You leave now, you’ll be signing your death warrant.

– We’re here live

at the metro court hotel,

where in just a matter

of a few hours,

the curtain will rise

on port charles’s benefit

of the year, the annual general hospital nurses’ ball.

And adding to the significance

of this year’s ball is the fact that general hospital will celebrate its 60th anniversary.

Safe to say,

tonight is a can’t-miss event. – I’m missing the can’t-miss event.

– With us now is the co-chair

of the nurses’ ball planning

committee, maxie jones.

Maxie, what’s it like

being a part

of this spectacular event? – Hi, george. It’s been an honor helping plan tonight’s festivities. The nurses’ ball is known for philanthropy and entertainment. Our tribute to gh’s 60 years of caring for the community will be talked about for years to come. – So how has it been organizing this big event without the guidance of the late lucy coe, who was known, of course, as the force behind previous balls?

– Lucy is irreplaceable, and tonight is dedicated to her.

I believe she’s with us

in spirit, trusting me and my co-chair, bobbie spencer, to make her proud.

– Well, on that note,

there has been

some backstage buzz. What do you think miss coe would make of the talk that there’s been a hiccup with one of tonight’s acts? – What? Hiccup? What? What hiccup? – Thank you for meeting me. – Anything for you, my boy. So am I to understand from this that you are finally willing to do what needs to be done? – Well, I’m not willing to sit back and let esme call the shots. She was, um, less than cooperative when we took ace to the hospital. – Hospital? Is anything wrong with the baby? – According to the doctor, ace has colic. It’s nothing serious. – Oh. – Grandmother thinks that we should be patient, exercise caution, and gain esme’s trust. I’m done waiting. – I need to hear you say it. I need to hear you say the actual words. – Let’s move forward with your plan. Esme must be dealt with. – Esme. Hello. Miss jerome, I haven’t seen you since, um– – since the night your lovely parents held me hostage. – I was going to say since the night I went into labor, and gave birth to this guy. – What’s his name? – Ace. – He looks like his father– my husband. – Answer me, please! Will, answer me! – What’s happening? What the hell happened?

[Dramatic music]

– George, there are always hiccups for any live performance. And our performers and team members behind the scenes at the nurses’ ball are committed to executing tonight flawlessly and delivering a performance that’s worthy of its legendary reputation. – Ok. But have you found a replacement for the dancer who dropped out of the popular magic wands act? – Dex heller has agreed to step in, and he’s going to be great. – Oh, I’m sure. But maxie, I was referring to the latest vacancy, the one yet to be filled. – Who dropped out? I don’t even know who’s in! The nurses’ ball is toast. – I– I don’t know where you’re getting your backstage buzz. But I guarantee that tonight’s nurses’ ball will be the best yet. Thank you for your time. You look very nice. – Thank you.

[Phone ringing] – Maxie, pick up the phone. Pick up the phone. – Hi. You’ve reached maxie jones. Sorry, I can’t take your call. But if you leave me your name and number, I’ll get back to you. – Maxie, this is not what we said we’d do. This is not what we planned. You better answer the phone! – Willow felt weak, and i was asking her if she needed me to call an ambulance. – No, I’m fine, really. – What are you doing here? – I was dropping off a care package of deception products for willow, and I was putting it at the front door. And she asked me in. – To tell her that the bone marrow transplant’s a go. – Yeah, I heard it from my aunt liesl, but hearing it from you directly was really wonderful. – Willow is very generous. – Yeah, she is very generous. And she doesn’t need you jumping to the wrong conclusions about me. – I think I’m in a better position to know what willow needs than you. – I heard you divorced nikolas. – He was my husband when you conceived your child. – Look, I don’t regret having ace, but I am sorry about what happened. – And what about everything else you did? Setting fire to my car, leaving behind a hospital id belonging to my late daughter, framing trina robinson– do those things just happen? – If the allegations are true, then the old esme committed some truly awful acts. – Referring to yourself in the third person– how grandiose! – I am no longer that esme prince. Do you think it’s easy constantly apologizing for some person that I used to be? Maybe you know nothing about that. – We are all judged by our worst mistakes. It can feel impossible to overcome them. – Have you ever tried living with someone who constantly reminds you of all the wrong things you’ve done? Spencer thinks that he can’t forgive my past, and he thinks that I’m a liar, and that nikolas is some deadbeat runaway dad. – Spencer can only base his impressions on his experience. And his father is not here for him, or for your baby. I am truly sorry that nikolas isn’t here to help you raise your child. – I’m not. As far as I am concerned, he can stay gone. – The last time we met to discuss the esme dilemma, you were loathe to employ alternative tactics. What changed your mind? – Esme mentioned getting a job. And once she has a little bit of money saved up, she’s going to move out– maybe even move on. And I don’t know that we can stop her from leaving the country, but I’m pretty sure that she can legally leave the state. And I do not love the idea of my brother being 2,000 miles away from me. – You may not have a choice, not if esme manages to acquire a veneer of respectability. – Veneer or not, a judge might buy it, and look on esme favorably when deciding custody of her son. – Her son? – He’s my brother. – Hence, your willingness to try this, um, less than orthodox route. Listen, spencer, you– you shouldn’t hesitate for a second to prioritize the welfare of your baby brother. So should we talk about broad strokes? – Here? – Yeah. You have a problem? – I’m used to meeting you at the metro court. – Yes. Well, that’s not possible. – Why not? Why are we meeting here? – It’s too risky to make a move now. – It’s too risky to stay here. Victor’s already left the metro court. He could be on his way here. – Give me time to make arrangements for a new place. As soon as it’s safe, I’ll come get you. We only want to relocate once. – Anna and I know how to disappear, sonny. – But we have lucy with us! – And eileen definitely does not know the location of this place. – I– I don’t know, drew. I mean, we were not stupid about this. We took every precaution. She was blindfolded. They drove her different routes to get here. The phone was switched off. I mean, I don’t know what to say. – It’s not impossible that she picked up some information that she could give to victor to help him find our location. I mean, are we willing to risk our lives that we can find my father before he finds us? – It’s always great to see you, george. – You, too, maxie. Good luck tonight. – Thank you. – Ok. – And thanks for all the nurses’ ball support. – Congratulations. You really kept your cool with that reporter. – Yeah. Well, lucy always says, never let them see you sweat. – How did they even know there was another magic wands dropout? – Before I did? I don’t know! I wish I knew who was blabbing backstage. Who am I kidding? Of course, it’s amy driscoll. That girl is so sweet and has a killer voice, but she couldn’t be discreet to save her life. – Well, you have bigger problems, like finding a magic wand replacement.

[Phone rings] – Yeah, yeah, and maintaining my sanity. – Maxie, look. I know you sent my call right to voicemail, and that was not the deal we had. Ok? Never mind. Why do I even bother? Ok. Deep breath. And eat a gummy. Deep breath. And eat a gummy. Mmm. Ok. You’re overreacting. Mm-hmm. So bobby and maxie are going to be just fine, aren’t they? Mm-hmm. They know exactly what they’re doing, and the nurses’ ball is fine. It’s in good hands. It’s not. You are the only one that has the connections. You’re the one with the imagination. And they need you. Hey! Oh, hi. Listen, I need a car. And you can just put it on the deception cosmetics account. Mm-hmm. Right. Oh, no! You know what? You really don’t need an address. Just have the driver meet me at the corner of marigold and chestnut. Mm-hmm. Let them know I will be the striking woman in a fake fur coat. Right. And tell them to hurry, please. Ok. Ta!

– Ok. Well, you know about the transplant, and you’ve dropped off the care package. As you can see, willow is really weak. – It took me forever to settle amelia for her nap. – I’m sure it did. Maybe now you should rest. – I will when michael and wiley come back from the store. They’re getting us snacks for while we watch the nurses’ ball pre-show. – Ok. Why don’t you nap until then? I can show nina out, and I can wait for michael and wiley. – Isn’t that for willow to decide? – I have to make a couple of calls. Robert is going to know by now that eileen is dead, and he’ll come to his own conclusions. But felicia may not be aware. – Tell them to stay away. And after drew and I leave, no more visitors. – Sonny’s right. What’s most important now is not risking any more exposure. – Spring has sprung, spencer, in all its glory. Don’t you appreciate the fresh air? – Yeah. I should have brought my binoculars so that we could birdwatch. – Oh, come on, spencer! You must be relieved to finally leave the stultifying atmosphere of your grandmother’s apartment. – Victor cassadine, nature enthusiast– will wonders never cease? – You can mock. But I really appreciate this planet and all that it has to offer. Besides, it’s a lot more secure here than the metro court, particularly now that it’s teeming with guests for the nurses’ ball. – Yeah. Well, I still think that we probably could have met in your suite, but, um, what are the next steps in terms of getting my brother away from esme? – Well, we need to find damning evidence in all the dormant cases against esme, evidence compelling enough to force the district attorney to finally prosecute her. – Ok. What do you need from me? – Nothing. Just– just sit still. Leave it to me. If only your father trusted me, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess now, would we? – You’re not upset that nikolas is out of the picture? I mean, at the very least, he could have helped you out financially. – Oh, nikolas didn’t want to help. He actually tried getting me to sign away my rights to my son. – What? – Yeah. Nikolas came to spring ridge, all smiles and sweet words, and paperwork to legally strip me of my parental rights. Ace and I are better off without him. And as far as I can see, so are you. – You don’t know anything about my marriage to nikolas. I know that he slept with me while married to you. – Don’t you mean he slept with the old esme? – Touché. Look, I know that I sound insane trying to distance myself from, well, my– myself. But I have changed. And I intend to do what I can make up for the things that I’ve done. – I’m happy to hear it. So… how do you plan to make it up to me?

– How are preparations for the ball going? Are maxie and bobby losing their minds? – Well, they insist that everything is under control. But I just got a text from josslyn, and she says it’s unorganized chaos, which is no one’s fault, really, because even if lucy were still with us, she’d have a lot less time to prepare. I mean, the ball is usually the last week of june or the second week of september. – Yeah, olivia and I had to do a lot of juggling to clear the ballroom at such short notice. – I’m sure you did. – Oh, careful. Are you– are you all right? – Hey. Are you ok? – I’m fine. I’m fine. I just remembered I have to do a little prep for our showtime snacks. – I can do that. – Thanks, but it’s hardly anything. I will get a start, and michael and wiley will do the rest. Please. – If you need me, I’m here. – I will be sure to yell. – That breaks my heart to see her try to appear normal. – Yeah. I pray that the bone marrow transplant goes well and that it’s a success. Willow deserves all good things. – Wouldn’t it help to put aside our personal feelings towards each other, carly, and present a united front for willow? – Mom, what about the ginger, the one that works with mac, with the amazing arms? – Oh, yeah. He moved to las vegas two months ago to dance in an all-male revue.

[Phone ringing] – I should have been a career counselor.

[Phone ringing] – Oh, honey, I have to take this. Don’t worry. We’ll think of someone. – Ok. – Oh! – No, no.

[Screams] – Lucy! – Shush, shush. – Oh! What are you doing here? – What I was born to do. – Oh. – Eileen’s dead? – Yeah. So as you can imagine, we’re re-evaluating our safety measures. – But eileen couldn’t have told victor your location because she didn’t know it. We were extremely careful. She was– had a blindfold, and she had a bag over her head every single time we took her to the safe house. We even confiscated her devices. – I know! But we have to err on the side of caution. We have to assume that eileen told victor that we’re all working together. To that end, no one can come to the safe house for the next few days. – In case we’re being followed. – The case against esme will solve our problem, particularly as she’s basically friendless and without resources. You don’t look convinced. – When esme goes to prison, she can take my brother with her. – Only the first 18 months. Or would you rather wait until the boy’s too old to go with her to prison? But then you run the risk of her just suddenly deciding to take him with her to another state, or changing her name, and both of them disappearing. It’s still my first choice to take esme out of consideration altogether. – No. My friends need to see justice done in the form of a trial and a guilty verdict. – All right. All right, fine then. We just have to find good enough evidence before esme decides to leave town. – Fine. Let’s do that. – All right. But spencer, if our evidence is not enough to convince the da to re-arrest esme, then I’m going to go with my first instinct. Whatever happens to esme, baby cassadine will remain in the family fold. – I don’t understand what you mean. How can I make it up to you? – The change in you has to be genuine. – It is! – And permanent. – I– I can’t say that my memories will never come back. – That’s why you can’t be trusted. I do believe that you truly lost your memory. And I’m sorry for the ordeal that your monstrous parents put you through. I think you even care about your little baby. – But you still don’t trust me. – I’ll never forget what you did, esme. And I believe the old you, the one who delighted in inflicting pain on others, is still inside you. And I believe one day she will come back. I don’t wish on you, but the moment you remember who you really are, I will recognize it, and I will finish what you started.

– Hi. I feel like I’m interrupting. Am I interrupting something? – No, no, no. Esme and I have– have said all we need to say to each other. – Is that for me? – It sure is. Here, it’s some samples of the formula that we talked about, the probiotics. So yeah, give me a call if it’s not working, or if you have any other questions, just call. – Thank you, dr. Gatlin-holt, for treating my son after… everything that happened. – My pleasure. – I know you and spencer don’t believe me, but I have changed for good. All I want is what’s best for my baby. – What do you think? Do you believe that, that people can change? – Yeah, I do, for the worse. Look at us. – What do you mean? We’re covering up a crime. – Oh, that. – We’re colluding. Criminal, extortionist– – I know it’s frightening for you, ava. – –So he doesn’t turn us in. – You know, I have a confession for you, ava. I don’t always recycle.

[Laughs] – Oh, no. See, normally, I’d think that was funny, but nothing is normal right now, is it? We’re constantly lying, looking over our shoulders, and there’s no end in sight. I just lied through my teeth to the wife of the chief of detectives. – How? How did you get here? – The same way I got here the other night. I just climbed out the window, walked– I don’t know, about half a mile, then took a car. – Only cats have nine lives, lucy. Every time you escape the safe house, you increase your chance of getting caught. And you heard what anna said. If victor cassadine finds out, he’s not going to pretend to shoot you. He’s going to really shoot you. – Ok! But if you had just answered my text, answered my phone calls, taken an email from me, I wouldn’t have had to risk my life. – Why are you here? – Well, (whispering) I was watching the tv, and I saw you talking to that reporter. And I came up with the perfect solution to your magic wand conundrum. – Ladies. Ah. – Hi, sir. Um, how can I help you? – I, um– I have lunch plans with my niece, and the garden patio’s deserted. – Oh, the garden patio is closed today for a special event. But the metro court restaurant upstairs is open. And, oh, my mom. Mom! Hey, could you show this nice gentleman up to the metro court restaurant? – Oh, sure. I can do that. It’s on the top floor. – Thank you. – If you’ve never been up there before, you’re in for quite a treat. – Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! That was so close. What if felicia had seen me and known it was me? – Oh! Well, she would have notified anna that you had gone rogue again. But that is the least of our worries. All of the people coming to the nurses’ ball know who you are. You have to leave now! – Wait a minute. I am not leaving now, not until you hear me out. Listen. I do have the perfect suggestion for the magic wand. This is a man who’s used to coming to the rescue. Come on! – I have no intention of letting my feelings about you impact willow. – Again? – Didn’t you just suggest to play nice? – I promise to do better, if you will. – Uh, it must be disappointing for donna not to be able to spend nights at sonny’s right now. – Donna is fine. I just explained to her that her father is busy, and she won’t be visiting sonny for a little while. – It must be hard for a child to understand. – It’s life with sonny, nina– constant conflict and danger. You’re a long way from nixon falls, aren’t you? – As long as we are in possession of the necklace, victor is dead in the water. He’s got the decryption key, but nothing to use it on. – Which is only going to make him more desperate. If he wasn’t following laura, robert, and felicia before, he will be now. – We need to find victor before he finds us. – The man is not an island. I don’t get it. Somebody’s got to know where he is. Who is he close to in port charles? – His great nephew, right? Your nephew, sonny. – I will speak to spencer and see if he’s heard from victor. – Assuming spencer will cooperate. Victor cassadine is a master manipulator. Spencer’s young. He’s no match for my father. – Spencer’s made a lot of mistakes. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. He’ll do the right thing. – Esme is probably wondering where I am. I’m supposed to pick up her and ace from the hospital. – I’ll put our plan in motion. When I have an update, I’ll give you a time and location to meet. Watkins will supply you with a number to reach me. I’m– I’m going to dispose of my old phone. – You’re avoiding the metro court, setting new meeting locations. Now you’re changing phones? You’re really ramping up security, aren’t you? – Well, I can’t be too careful. – Thank you, uncle victor. I owe you one, and I won’t forget it. – Oh, I’m counting on that. – You didn’t tell him you’ll be leaving port charles. – Well, my intentions are always on a need to know. That’s more imperative now than ever. – And your nephew’s custody fight? – It’ll soon be irrelevant. My great nephew is giving himself all kinds of anguish over something that will never see the light of day. If he knew the truth of my real plan, then he’d never go along with it. If I have to keep lying to the lad, then so be it. I need spencer on board.

– wait just a second. You want me to ask mac to perform with the magic wands? – Mm-hmm. I can’t very well do it, can I? – Because you’re dead! – Mm-hmm. But think about it. Mac is such a well-respected, well-known member of the community. And to be perfectly honest, he is a fox, too. You know, I’ve often wondered what’s underneath those button downs he wears. – No, no, no, no, no. Stop, stop. Mac is my step dad. – He is a daddy, all right. – That is so inappropriate. – Ok. Why couldn’t you just text me your request instead of risking your life and coming down here to ask me in person? – I tried! (Whispering) listen to me. You– you could thank me instead of yelling at me. You could say, thank you, lucy, for saving the nurses’ ball. – Why can’t you stay away? Is this about your need to control? Or does it go deeper? And don’t hide behind some inappropriate remark or dumb excuse. – Ok. Look, I do realize– really realize how everybody sees me, including my current roommates, that I’m vapid, and silly, and selfish. You know what? The nurses’ ball, when I’m putting on that show, that’s the one time of year that everybody takes me seriously, despite all my business success. When I’m running that show, I feel like I have a purpose, like I’m fulfilled, like I’m needed, and I’m useful. You know, it’s magic. And it’s so incredible that every single person in port charles is somehow putting on the show, or performing in the show, or donating to our cause. It’s like that one moment we all come together. You know there is nothing– nothing else like it. – The nurses’ ball is very special, lucy. And that’s mostly due to you. – Thank you. – So mac? – What part of mac is my stepdad do you not understand? – What part do you not understand that the show must go on? – I know who would be a perfect fit. – Really? Ok. Who? – Is your car waiting for you? – Well, duh, yeah, of course. Who? – I’ll tell you– – who’s the substitute? – –On your way to your car. – Wait. Tell me. Just, maxie, who? – I’ll let you know when I find a new safe house. I’ll have my people come and get you. – Thank you, sonny. Thank you for everything. – You know, luke– luke spencer was my great friend. I loved him. I respected him. Victor is going to pay for his debt. We’ve got to stop him before he does any more damage to spencer. And I’m going to make sure of that. Ok. – I know who sonny is and what he does. – Intellectually, sure. But when you were so eager to have sonny all to yourself, did you stop and think about what you’d have to give up? – I’m not going to discuss my relationship with you. – You don’t have to. I can see it in your eyes. And eventually, sonny will, too. You bit off more than you can chew, and you are not the first. – I’m going to say goodbye to willow. I have to get back to the hotel and oversee preparations for tonight. – Look, I’m only going to say this because sonny is the father of my kids. And if you’re going to be with him, there’s something you need to know. Sonny needs to be with someone who knows the good, bad, and ugly about him and his business, who will stand beside him, no matter how dirty things get. Now, does he share his entire life with you? Or does he shelter you? – Sonny and I, we have an understanding that works for us. It’s not the same relationship you had with him, carly. And that’s what appeals to sonny. – You didn’t want mike to know his real identity when he was in nixon falls. And now that sonny’s back, you want to turn a blind eye to his business. Ignorance isn’t always bliss. And in this case, it looks like it’s the beginning of the end.

– So much for our united front. – Hey! – Hi. – Hi. – Snack preparation finished. Is everything ok? – Yeah. Yeah, it’s good. I was– I was telling carly that i have to get back to the hotel and get ready for the ball. You’re going to be ok? How are you feeling about tomorrow? – A little nervous. The nurses’ ball will be a nice distraction. Still, I can’t stop thinking about everything that could go wrong. What if the transplant doesn’t take? What if liesl’s bone marrow isn’t compatible with mine after all? – I would be feeling the same way if I were you. That doesn’t mean any of that is likely, though. – You’ve gone way too far to be disappointed. And if success is guaranteed by sheer will, carly and I have got you covered. – Absolutely. Tomorrow is a fresh start. – And you won’t be alone. – It’s all going wrong, valentin. – Every operation has its fair share of unknowables. – I enlisted another civilian as an asset, and it is too dangerous. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. – Listen. I don’t know, but I know you tried to steer lucy clear of this, and she wouldn’t go. Eileen ashby was on borrowed time the moment she started working for victor cassadine. You know that. In fact, I think we gave her her best chance of survival. She just had to follow instructions. She couldn’t do that. This isn’t your fault. – It is my fault. – Don’t do that. – No. – There’s only one person who’s going to pay for all of this. He’s my father. And he will. Somehow. – Oh my gosh! There you are! You– you’ve been gone forever. – Oh, not quite that long. Your mother’s a very impatient woman, ace. Did you get what you needed from the doctor? – Yes. Dr. Gatlin-holt was very helpful. But I mean, we’ve been waiting for a while. You said you’d be back. – Well, here I am. – Much later. – Yeah, I had to take care of something. – What is more important than your brother? – Nothing. Come on. Let’s go.

[Elevator bell chiming] – Tell me about this conversation you had with felicia. – She was asking what you were doing out on spoon island the night that esme and ryan and heather showed up. – Ok. – We need an explanation for your presence there, a good one, one that we can sell. – Any idea what that explanation might be? – Maybe. Do you own a tux? – Unforgivable, maxie! You shoved me in that car before you even told me who the replacement for magic wand was. I bet you don’t even know who your replacement is. The nurses’ ball is going to fail. – Why did I ever agree to plan the nurses’ ball? – Because you are the best event planner in new york state. And nobody handles a crisis better than you. We will find a suitable replacement for the magic wand act. – Oh! I had an idea for a replacement. And it’s better than the alternative. – Alternative? – Um, that’s a story for another day. Hopefully, it never comes to that. – Ok. – You have something for me? – I tailed felicia scorpio to the metro court. You’ll never guess who showed up in the lobby. – Do tell. – Lucy coe. She left here 20 minutes ago in a luxury sedan. Hire car, judging from the stickers. – Thank you. I’ll take it from here. So once again lucy coe proves herself invaluable. I’ve got them! Anna and valentin can hide no more.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

security sweep is complete. We’re all clear, boss. – Thank you. I need competent people around me during these times. – Hopefully we’ll find who’s targeting you soon. – Oh, I’m going to find them. No one’s going to interfere with the pikeman deal. – Think she’ll deliver? – [Sighs] – Haven’t you told your people? I always bring the goods.

[Dramatic music] – [Breathing heavily] – Ok, cool. Let’s go again. – [Sighs] We’ve done this, like, five times already. We got this. – Practice can’t hurt. – Ugh. Unless I pass out from dehydration. – [Scoffs] Ok. Five minutes. – Thank you. – Don’t call me back until it’s done. What– what are you two doing in here? – We’re, uh, practicing our performance. – The show is tonight, and you two still need to practice? Oh. Ok, this nurses’ ball is going to hell in a handbasket. – You guys have been such a big help. – We’ll finish, aunt elizabeth.

[Doorbell rings] We’ll make it gucci. – [Laughs] That means– – no, I know what that means. – Ok. – Hi. Come in. – Hey. Sorry I’m late. There was kind of a lot of traffic, and I– – no, no, no. You’re right on time. – Oh, good. Oh, how are you doing, sweetheart? – Cam’s coming. – Ok. Come here. – Hey, did I just hear the doorbell?

[Together] Surprise! – Oh, my goodness. Hey! Oh, thank you. What’s going on? I thought we were just having breakfast, the four of us. – You didn’t think we’d let you leave for california without a proper sendoff from your family, did you? – Wow. I feel like the luckiest guy right now.

[Laughter] – I called ahead and said that I’d be coming in with my son. – I’ll need his name and date of birth to check you in. Who’s his pediatrician? – Um, we don’t have a regular one yet. I gave birth outside the hospital. Is dr. Portia robinson around? – Uh, dr. Robinson is not available. But um, just fill these out while we get you set up. – Please, my son is sick. He needs to be seen right away. – Thank you. Hounding the nurse is not going to do ace any favors. – I don’t care. Ace needs medical attention. And I will fight for him no matter what. – It’s not going to do any good to pick a fight with the wrong person, esme. The best way to get him treatment is to fill out these forms. – What– what are you even doing here? I didn’t want you here. So if you’re not on my side, you can leave now. – This isn’t about you or sides, esme. This is about ace. And I’m not leaving you alone with my baby brother.

[Tense music]

[Gun clicks] – Something I should know? – What? Oh, I’m just making sure I’m prepped. This situation is deteriorating. – You know, something happened to make eileen bolt. Now victor’s after her. He’ll more than likely find her. – She can’t outrun victor. She knows too much– enough to bring this whole thing crashing down.

[Knock at door]

[Tense music]

[Dramatic music]

– Did you guys know there’s a 10% chance of rain tonight? Water stains silk. Rain deflates hair. And what if the ground gets slippery? One slip or fall could end up all over social media. Five or six are a catastrophe. – 10% is not much. – And the llama has the nerve to be running late. Now you two are telling me that you’re also not ready? – Maxie. Maxie, me and trina are doing just fine, ok? We were just doing some run-throughs and adding on some finishing touches. – Yeah, we’re beyond ready. – Ok. Ok, that’s great. Um, but you’ll need to leave when the wands get here. It’s a closed set. – Got it. – We’re out. – No! I said silk bow ties! – [Laughs] – And I thought you were intense. – Yeah. After that, I promise to relax. – So a six-minute break? – Ok, fine. The nurses’ ball is about having fun after all. – And that’s my plan. I’m all about fun tonight. – Mm. With spencer? – You wouldn’t happen to remember ace’s weight when he was born, would you? – Yes. And I remember his length and his apgar score from when they checked him out when we first got to the hospital.

[Sighs] Ace is sick, and if filling out this stupid form will get him seen, that’s all I care about. Oh. Hey, if you want to make yourself useful, why don’t you fill out this part where they, uh, ask about payment. I don’t think we have insurance.

[Baby whimpering] It’s ok, sweetie. – Grandmother doesn’t seem to think that it’s anything serious. – Mommy knows that something’s not right. – How long do you think that you’re going to be able to keep up this angelic mother act, esme? – Would you get over yourself? I am sick of trying to prove to you that I am not the person I used to be. I need to be a good mother to ace. He is what matters, not you. – Well, it seems that you’ve lost your memory but not your personality, esme. You’re not going to be able to hide behind ace forever. – I can’t believe that you guys went all out for this. Thank you. Aiden, are those banana chocolate chip muffins? – My best batch yet. – Wow. – I know how much you like them. – I made the toast. – Fantastic! I love toast. – That’s all that daddy would let me make. – Well, you can move on to things that involve a flame when you’re a little older. – I can teach her some easy dishes now. – Yeah? – I’d love that. – You’d better take him up on it, because I’ve had your dad’s spaghetti. – Hey. – This is so very cool of everyone. I don’t even know what to say. – Uh, how about let’s eat? – Oh, ok. I see where jake’s priorities are. You just keep him well-fed, you know. He’ll forget that I’m even gone. – I think jake’s right, and we should eat all this delicious food while it’s still warm. – I’ll get the orange juice.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Sighs] – Hey. Anything you need? – I don’t want to bring down the mood. Been an intense few days. – I get it. I’m here, whatever you need. – Just t he strength to saygoodbye to my firstborn.

[Tense music]

– How are you holding up? – Uh, I’m ok. I’m hanging in there. A lot has come to light, hasn’t it? – Yeah. How do you feel about all of it? – You know, I wasn’t entirely surprised that esme turned out to be ryan and heather’s daughter. You know, the girl is just as twisted as they are. But finding out that ryan was colluding with her to destroy my life, that– that shook me up a bit. – Fortunately, we don’t ever have to deal with ryan again. – Ah, thanks to your husband. That esme, though– she has yet to pay. – Felicia sent me. – Why? Where is she? – Maxie needed her help, so she told me how to get here. I was not followed. I took every precaution. – What’s happened? – Victor disappeared.

– Were you able to learn anything about the contractor who tried to kill me? – As I suspected, no one in my organization frequents the highsider, nor did anybody recognize the gunman. However, I sent li to make inquiries with the staff at the highsider. He had a very interesting conversation with the bartender. – Did you get an id on the shooter or not, selina?

– I feel like there’s no need to compare them, you know? They’re both so different. – Yeah, I– – …almost iconic. – It is iconic. I’ll grant you that, I’ll grant you that. – I knew this was going to be hard, but it just got real all of a sudden. – I wish there was something i could say that would magically make you feel better. But this is hard sending your kids out into the world. And cam’s your first, and that is a very particular kind of pain. – I’m so happy for him and proud. But I already feel like a part of me is missing, and he’s not even gone yet. – Yeah, I know, but that’s the sad part. But remember, there’s– there’s wonderment and joy in watching your– your children forge their own paths, become adults, live full lives. It’s all a blessing, trust me. And you will always be his mother. – You got a little something on your shirt there. Oh, oh! I had to get you one last time before I left. – Yeah. You didn’t get me. – Good job, sweetie. You gained two pounds and grew almost an inch. That’s good, right? – Right on target. The doctor will be in shortly. – Thank you. – Mm-hmm. – Nurse seems to think that he’s ok. Better than ok. – Yeah. Um, look, spencer. I know, um, we both have our reasons for not trusting each other, but it’s all in the past. – Is it? – Can it be? I mean, ace is my present and my future, and whether I like it or not, you’re his brother. We need to get along for his sake. – Everything that you’ve done to me, to my friends– it’s not exactly something that I can easily forgive, esme. – Well, can you try? I mean, I’d hate to see you miss out on knowing ace because of it. – Is that a threat? – What? No. It’s just not good for ace if we’re fighting all of the time. And the longer you keep seeing me as my old self, the more damage it’s going to do to him. – I guess I don’t see it like that. – Sorry to keep you waiting. I know you. – I know you too. You’re the man that my mother tried to kill the night my son was born. – Spencer and I will see each other at the ball, but we’re not going together. – What’s going on with you guys? I mean, last time I heard, you kissed. Did something happen? – No, no. I mean, we’re fine. We’re definitely more than friends. It’s just complicated. – Yeah. Well, that’s spencer. It’s complicated. – No, it’s not just him, ok?

[Scoffs] I feel like we’re some kind of cosmic joke. Just when I thought, oh, finally, like, we’re going to finally– both of our lives blew up. The night we kissed, I’d just found out that my mother lied to me about my father. Then ryan chamberlain and heather webber showed up on spoon island, nearly killing ava. Then esme had her baby. Now esme and her baby are living with spencer in his grandmother’s apartment. – Because of the baby. – And I totally understand that spencer wants to be close to his baby brother. But it’s just– it just feels weird that he and esme and the baby are living together, like some pseudo family.

[Sighs] I really want to be with spencer. But now it just feels like I should take it slow. – Slow sounds like the right idea. – It doesn’t feel that way.

[Sighs] But what about you? – Me? – I mean, it’s been months since you broke up with cam, and now he’s leaving for california. Are you ready to get back out there? – The bartender recognized the gunman. – Did you get a name? – Unfortunately, no. The bartender said the gunman came in only once and paid in cash. But he recalled that the man was staying at a nearby hotel, so I sent my men to search the establishment. The shooter’s belongings were relegated to storage when he didn’t return. We were able to acquire them. – I appreciate that. – I hope this restores your faith in me. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. – Looks like we found the guy. Now we have to find out who hired him. – When did victor disappear? – Within the last 24 hours. Look, ever since robert searched victor’s hotel room, we’ve had the metro court under surveillance. He has not returned. I even decided to search his room myself in case that somehow he slipped by us. – How did you go about doing that? – I asked olivia for access. – What, no. – You involved olivia in this? – Come on. – Time was my main concern, valentin, ok? And I knew olivia wasn’t going to ask any questions. It doesn’t matter anyway, because she said victor checked out. Although I can tell you he did not do it personally. – This can only mean one thing. – Victor’s onto us.

– Has it been months? It feels more like minutes. – Ah. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no. No fair. You do not get to grill me on my love life and give me nothing back. – Trina, I switched to pre-med, ok? I’ve been swamped with classes. I have no time for dating. – Are you sure it’s a time thing? Look, ok. Breakups are hard, but you can’t let it paralyze you. You got to put yourself back out there. Hey, you know nolan. – Water polo nolan? What about him? – Yeah, he’s in my renaissance art class. We’re pretty cool. Maybe I can set you two up or something. – Thanks, but no. – Joss, he’s one of the hottest guys on campus. You can’t even just, like, have coffee with him? – Trina, what would we even talk about? – You’re jocks. You can, I don’t know, swap stories of the thrill of victory or something. – Ok, ok. We need to get back to rehearsing– – joss, we know these steps cold. We do not need the practice. Are you not interested in nolan because you’re already seeing someone? – Scott is still stuck at court. – Oh, that’s too bad. I know he wanted to be here. – He did say that he was due a visit to the west coast soon, so… – and he means it, too. You are very important to him. – I feel very grateful having you and scott as my grandparents. – And I know that I speak for both of us when I say it’s been a privilege for us to watch you grow into the fine young man that you have become. – I owe a lot of it to you. – [Gasps] – It’s true. I mean, you– you have always supported me, even when things were great or terrible. – [Laughs] – Thank you, grandmother. – I love you so much. My heart is just bursting with pride right now. Really. I can’t wait to see what you do next. It’s going to be great. – I love you, grandmother. – I love you too, sweetheart. – Ava, are you planning on making esme pay? – Oh, no. No, no. Don’t worry about that. I will leave it to the authorities. Although I was not happy to hear that your brother-in-law is not going to prosecute her. – Well, timing is everything. – Mm-hmm. What about all those months that she terrorized me, that she made me fear for my daughter’s life? She destroyed my marriage. I’m not trying to excuse nikolas’s actions, but we were building a life together before she showed up. And to find out that she manipulated the entire situation– she’s just as rotten as her father, may he rot in hell. Now all I have left is that big old empty, drafty castle. – Well, you’re not completely alone. – You know, I have avery. But not all the time, you know? I share custody. – Well, what about austin? – What– what about him? – Well, he was there the night that ryan and heather made their appearance. And wasn’t he also there when dante and the police officers were searching for nikolas? – You told me that nikolas was dead. – He was. – Did you take a pulse? – No, I just took my chances. Of course I checked his pulse. – Ok, so–

[Clears throat] One time in medical school, they told me that a dead body doesn’t just up and walk away. – I was in shock, right? I mean, I’m sure I was in shock. But I can tell you one thing for certain. Nikolas’s heart was not beating. I’m sure of it. – Then, ava, where the hell is he? – Austin seems to be with you a lot. – You have to believe me; I didn’t even know that that woman was my mother. Please don’t hold her actions against my son. Ace is innocent. – Ace? That’s his name? Oh, that’s great. I love that. – [Scoffs] – You’re not mad? – No. Why would I be mad? I certainly wouldn’t be mad at you or at ace. So I’m dr. Gatlin-holt. – I– I’m esme prince. – Nice to meet you under better circumstances. Mr. Cassadine. – Spencer’s fine. We actually saw each other not long ago in passing. – Right, nice to see you. So what’s, uh– what’s going on with baby ace? – Um, I noticed that he’s been much fussier than usual, crying even when he’s not hungry and doesn’t need a changing. I kept track of the episodes, but I also noticed that he’s been flushing. I have some pictures if– if you need. – Wow. I wish all my first-time moms were this organized. – You want me to examine the contents? – No. Take it back to the office to, uh– we’ll look through it there. I’m going to have frank bring the car around. – Boss, there’s a body in the water. – What? – Victor suspects laura and robert are working together. I know that because she told me the other day he accused her of making a move against him. – Ok. Well, victor will already realize that the necklace is fake. He’ll assume that robert knew, gave it to eileen to hand off to him. – Would eileen give you up? – If victor pressured her? In a heartbeat. – I mean, god. She was just supposed to go in and deliver the necklace and then get out. But instead, she decided to take it on herself to make a play for the decryption key. And then something happened. Something spooked her enough for her to get out of town. – No, eileen ashby is definitely gone, but she did not leave on her own.

[Tense music]

– You’re seeing someone, aren’t you? Don’t lie. – I don’t want to lie to you.

[Sighs] Yes, I am. – Joss, that’s great. But, um, how long has this been going on? – Um, a few months. – Ooh. So not long after you broke up with cam. – No. – Is that why you didn’t tell me? You felt like I was going to judge you for it? – No. – Because I never– you told me last fall that you were starting to feel distance between you and cam, and things just weren’t working out. So I mean, that’s– that’s fair. – I just don’t want you in the middle. Cam is your friend too, and spencer definitely felt a way about me breaking up with him. – Ok, yeah. That’s– that’s on spencer, though. Of course I felt bad for cam. He was hurting, and I– I think he’s such a great guy. But things worked out. Cam is going to play soccer at stanford. He’s starting this major new phase in his life. And even if he wasn’t, you’re my girl, joss. You know I want the best for you. I want the best for both of you. – Thank you. – So who is it? Someone I know? – No, not really. – Do you have a picture? – Trina, I’m really sorry. I can’t tell you who it is right now. – Why not? – Because there could be really serious consequences if it became public knowledge. – Thanks for coming, and bringing violet. – Just try keeping her away. She loves her cousins. I’m really glad they can still be a part of each other’s lives. – It’s the connections you make that matter the most. That’s what epiphany used to say. – What you said about her at the memorial yesterday, it was really beautiful. – Yeah, I hope it’s what she would have wanted. And as devastated as I am, one burden has been lifted. – Hmm? – I found out that she did write a letter to the ethics committee and intended to deliver it herself. – I knew she stuck by you. – I was so afraid that I had disappointed her. It really weighed on me thinking that I’d let down my mentor, my friend. I’m just incredibly grateful that wasn’t the case. – Cam. We got you something. – Oh yeah? – Jake, now. – I did the drawing. Aiden and violet pasted on the cutouts. – So you can take us with you to california. Do you like it? – I’m not sure like is the word to use here. I love it. Come here. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. – What is it? Just– just tell me what’s wrong. – Uh, nothing’s wrong at all. Ace is a totally healthy baby. – Oh my god. – What we have here is what we call a classic case of colic. – I’ve read about that. But is ace in pain, or– – well, he’s got gas, so probably more uncomfortable than in pain. And he’s just crying because he doesn’t know how to tell you, because he can’t talk yet. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to send you home with a list of soothing techniques and some samples of some formula that might be easier on his stomach. – Thank you. – You’re welcome. We’re going to start him on a probiotic, you know, if the change in diet doesn’t help him immediately. – And the probiotic is safe for infants? – Oh yeah, absolutely. Ace is fine. Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it. You’re doing a great job, mom. I’ll be back. – Did you hear that, sweetie? You’re gonna be ok. – Yeah, we’re going to get you fixed up, buddy. – Austin and I have something significant in common. After all, nothing forges a bond like being victims of the same lunatic. – Mm-hmm, I know.

[Chuckles] I hope that both you and austin have some peace of mind now that heather’s been locked up. – I will have peace once esme is dealt with. I really have to run. It’s been a pleasure. – Will I see you at the nurses’ ball later? – Oh. Oh, I wouldn’t miss it. Something big always happens at the nurses’ ball. – Oh, yeah. – I went to eileen’s apartment after victor went missing. I wanted to question her since she may have been the last person to see him. There were– there were no signs whatsoever that she had made any preparations to run with or without victor. – Quick escapes don’t leave a lot of time to collect belongings. – Pet owners never leave their dog without making some provisions. – I didn’t know she had a dog. – She had a very hungry, very thirsty dog that was barking even before i walked up to the door. This dog had not been cared for in some time. I took him to the q’S. The dog’s doing fine. The point is, is, she loved him. He was well-groomed. He had beds and treats and the whole thing, toys. There’s no way that she would abandon him willingly. – No. She’s not cold-blooded. You’re right. Eileen left under duress. Something really bad happened after she hung up that phone.

[Radio chatter] – Imagine my surprise when I heard you were the one who reported this. – Can you imagine how surprised I was when I came across her? – Talk to me, sonny. How are you involved in this? – I was just– I was taking a walk. I saw someone in the water. And I went to check it out, and it was the deputy mayor. – So you were casually taking a stroll alone on the docks– – yeah. – –And a body just happened to wash up right by you? That is some timing. – Ok, I told you everything that happened. If you want to take it any further, I’m going to have to call diane, and then it’s going to be a waste of everybody’s time. I don’t think you want to do that. – I came as soon as I heard. Is it true? Is that eileen? – I’m sorry, mayor collins.

[Phone rings] Commissioner ashford. – Ohh. Oh, eileen.

[Gasping] Do you know what happened? – No. But my guess is victor cassadine. – The coroner’s en route to take the body. – I’ll have to prepare a statement for the press. I have to deal with this. If it’s victor, then anna, valentin, and lucy are all in danger. They have to be warned. – I’ll check it out. Take care, ok? – [Sobbing]

– You have to trust me. I promise I’ll tell you when I can. But right now, the stakes are just too high.

– What’s your problem? – My problem? Um, I don’t like him. – Are you five? – And I also don’t like the way that you defend him. – I’d defend anyone this way. You can’t just roll up and start yelling at sonny’s employees. – That’s interesting. Are you telling me that you would be this defensive, this upset over just another one of sonny’s goons? – It sounds so serious. – Look. One day, hopefully very soon, I won’t have to keep this from you. But until then, will you just please forget about it? – [Sighs] Ok. But only if you promise that if you’re ever in trouble you’ll come to me. – I promise. – Josslyn, trina. – I’m going to take off. – You’re going to leave us here? – Yeah, I have something to do. Uh, you still have to stay here, though, and wait for the doctor to get back. – You’re our ride. – Yeah, I’m not going to be long. – [Sighs] Whatever. I can’t count on anyone except for myself. – What’s that supposed to mean? – I can’t keep relying on you and laura. I need to handle things for myself. I’m going to look for a job. – Oh. Doing what? You’ve never worked a day in your life. – I’ll figure it out. I had an internship, right? – That you orchestrated so that you could spend some time scheming with your deranged father, that’s correct. – When I was a person I don’t even remember. I mean, I’m a mom now. I need to be able to provide for my son on my own. – The idea of you being a working single mother is ludicrous to me. I just offered to pay for ace’s medical bills. Face it, you have no idea what to do now that you are out of prison. – Which was all your doing. Cameron told me how you all orchestrated my release. I’m sure this is just part of your plan to take ace away from me, but it’s backfired. I will never give up my son. – Esme, I– – just go. – Good luck in california, cam. You’re a good man. – Thank you for being here, finn, and for everything you’ve done for this family. Can I ask you one last favor? – Name it. – My mom will need her friends when I’m gone. – You can count on me. – Some extra muffins for the road. – Thank you. – Bye. – Bye. – Tell the guys, too. – I will. I’ll see you, peanut. – You ok? You ready? Bye. – Bye. – Are they gone? – Yeah. She just said goodbye to you guys. – Oh. So uh, how often do you think you’ll be back to visit? I was thinking of turning your room into an art studio. – Oh, you just can’t wait for me to leave, huh? I’ll visit as much as I can. – Well, I’ll miss you. Even though I was sometimes a pain, you always stood up for me. – You’re a great big brother, cam. And just so you know, I’ll do my best to pick up where you left off. I’m going to be there for aiden and mom. – Guys, I– I’m going to be gone, but not for good. Look, I’m still your brother, all right? If you need anything, you just call me, ok? – I know. It just won’t be the same. – Come on, guys.

[Sighs] I love you guys so much. – Love you too. – Love you, cam. – Victor and eileen both disappear on the same night they meet. That’s not a coincidence. – All right. Well, best-case scenario is that she figured out a way to escape, and she got out of there and ran as fast as she could. – Or victor found out that eileen was compromised, which is more likely. – Then she would have told him everything she knows, in which case, victor will know we’re alive and lucy. – And that the real necklace still exists. – Mm-hmm. Um, puts everyone at risk– robert, laura, felicia. He’ll figure out that we were all working together to stop him. – Eileen never knew about me and carly. And did she know how to find this place? – No. No. That is at least something in our favor.

[Knock at door] – Anna, it’s me. It’s good to see you. – Hi. What are you doing here? – Uh, laura got caught up in an emergency. Eileen ashby’s dead.

[Tense music]

– Sorry to interrupt. I was told to come here for rehearsal. – Oh. Are you the new magic wand? – I am. Maxie talked me into it. – Oh. Go, maxie. – You guys are performing, right? – Yeah, we’ve been rehearsing all morning. – There you are. Wardrobe needs you for a final fitting. Come on. – [Laughs] What? – No one I know, huh? – It’s a great picture. Really captures the four of you. – Mom, I can’t leave. – Yes, you can. – Aiden and jake, they still need me. You still need me. – What I need is to know that you’re pursuing your dreams. – Are you sure? – Cameron, it’s been you and me since the very beginning. You’ve been my rock, and jake and aiden’s too. You’ve always stepped up for us, and now it’s time to step up for yourself. – It just– it feels so selfish just leaving. – My love, you have such a big heart, and you are so loving. And it has been the greatest gift of my life having you as my son. You’ve given so much of yourself to me and your brothers, and now it’s your turn. So go out there, live your best life, and we’ll be here cheering you on. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – I wonder how much longer it will take dr. Gatlin-holt to get back to us, huh? What do you say we take a quick trip to the vending machines? Yeah? Sound good?

[Laughs]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Bell dings]

[Dramatic music]

– What really happened here? – [Sighs] We won’t know until we get the me’s official report. – You know something. Did she drown? – The me will check for water in her lungs. – But? – The coroner said she had multiple broken bones, including her spine. He suspects eileen died from a fall. Do you have any reason to believe eileen would take her own life? – No. Eileen was all about survival. – Jordan gave laura the information. Laura wanted me to come here and warn you. – You have to assume you’re blown. – Victor got eileen to give up the info, then he disposed of her. – He’ll come after us now.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Willow, do you realize you’re only two days out from your procedure? I tried to tell her to stay home and rest. Later. Right now, this is exactly where I need to be. (Sighing) oh, I’m so glad to see you. Come in. Oh, come here! Hi, grandma! I’m officially cleared to donate my bone marrow to willow. That is such good news, such good news! God knows that we could use them, especially a day like today. You going to the memorial? Really? I couldn’t stand that people who’d openly wished britta ill attended her service. Aunt liesl, you are many, many things, but hypocrite is not one of them. Epiphany and I did nothing but butt heads. I’m not happy she’s gone, but I’m glad she died honorably. Just like britt. We should all be so lucky.

[Sighs] Boss. Want some company?

How are you doing, marshall? It doesn’t make sense that she’s gone. Well, unfortunately, pop, a lot of things in life just don’t make sense. You know, hanging out with epiphany was often the highlight of my work shift.

[Laughter] Yeah, I’m sure it was. We laughed so much when I was helping her prep for the mcats. I mean, I’m surprised we got anything done. But she pulled through, didn’t she? With your encouragement, marshall. You’re not just a nurse. You are epiphany johnson. You’ve been up to the crack of dawn studying for these mcats, girl, you got this. Thank you for the encouragement. Hey, I’m just stating facts. What if I don’t pass? So what? A valiant effort is not a failure. Far from it. It’s brave. Epiphany, it’s courageous. And it makes me so very proud of you. Right before epiphany took her mcats, she was scared. And she said that this was all my fault. And she was right. If it wasn’t for me, epiphany would still be here. I just want to see how you’re holding up. What do you think, does this look right here? Because I could put it over there. I think it’s perfect. The fact that you pulled this all together on such short notice-it’s impressive, to say the least. It’s not like you really had a choice. Epiphany had it in her will that I would get to organize her celebration. Still bossing around from the afterlife, I see. Yeah.

[Chuckles] Although that was before everything had to come out about what I had done. She must have been so disappointed in me. I just wish she could have focused on being at johns hopkins and her future and not-hey. Hey, epiphany was driving home. And there was an accident on the side of the road, and she jumped in to help, just like you’d expect her to. Yeah. Yeah, she was being the epiphany we all knew and loved. I just wish I could have made it right with her. I had a feeling I’d find you here. Back when we were sort of, almost, kind of dating, you’d always wallow in here when you’re sad. I’ve earned a right to a little wallowing. Don’t you think? Epiphany was my friend. This vital presence, and now, she’s just gone. (Voiceover) now, I also understand that she’s not the only patient that you snapped at lately. You snap at people all the time. Well, that’s different. Why? Because I said so. Now, I want an explanation. Is there something going on with you? Ok, I may have been down in the dumps ever since things went so spectacularly south with brad. You can do better. I’m sorry for bringing that stuff to work. Wait. What’d you say? I said, you can do better. No, she’s not. No one’s ever really gone, as long as you hold onto her. In here.

[Cries] Look at this place-caring for the people of port charles for 60 years. Can you believe it? These walls-they’ve seen everything. Yeah. And I’m afraid today is going to be a hard one. General hospital’s lost one of its best. I couldn’t agree more. But here we are. We’re still standing. [Chuckles] Sometimes barely. Still something to be grateful for. And we have to keep going until we can’t anymore. I believe epiphany would want that. Diane! Hello, laura. Hi, robert. I didn’t think I’d be seeing you today. Well, epiphany asked me to be the executor of her will. I just have one final thing to do before the memorial. Yeah. A grind never stops, does it? (Laughing) no. I actually can’t stay very long either. I have to fill in for the deputy mayor while she’s indisposed. Is there any update on her whereabouts? Uh, well, I acquired some assistance the other night and diane helped me. Did I ever.

[Chuckles] Oh, yeah, she can be trusted. She’s a friend. High praise. Right. Well, I’d better get inside. I’ll see you in there. I look forward to it. Well.

[Laughs] You seem a little happier than you were before. Does this have something to do with diane? Hmm? Well.

What are you talking about? Hmm? What’s your fault? I pushed epiphany to go into med school. That’s a good thing, pop. If she hadn’t taken mcats, if she hadn’t gotten into johns hopkins, she wouldn’t have been on the road the other night, and she wouldn’t have seen that accident. And she’d still be here with us. No. No, no. Marshall, you reignited her dream, and she attained her dream. She got to prove to herself that all those people were wrong all those years ago who said that she couldn’t do it, and she did it! She actually did it! Think about how amazing that is and how many people really get to have that kind of satisfaction. Before epiphany passed, any semblance of self-doubt, of regret, that she had been carrying around for decades-that lifted off of her. And I’m gonna tell you right now, that’s a gift. And if I know epiphany, I know in my heart that she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

[Sobbing] It’s good to see you, milo. You, too, boss. I wish it was under different circumstances. Man, uh, epiphany was one of a kind. I’m so lucky I got to have her in my life. You know what? Epiphany was lucky, too. (Voiceover) you think I’m trying to change you? Aren’t you? Not even close. I took you the protein shack because it’s where I like to go. It never occurred to me to try anywhere else. But if I made you feel that you’re not good enough for me, I am so sorry. It’s just the opposite. I worry all the time if I’m good enough for you. And as for the way you look, you are beautiful inside and out, epiphany. That’s why I asked you out. I wouldn’t change a thing. You ok? (Crying) yeah. I’m just grateful for all the memories. What about you, boss? How’s everything going? You mean the business? You know, things are a little dicey. I’m happy to step in again if you need more help, you know, more hands on deck, just for old time’s sake. I appreciate that, but you’re one of the rare ones that got out-and lived. Let’s keep it that way. Dr. Obrecht, just the person I was looking for. May I help you? Indeed. As the executor for epiphany johnson’s will, I’ve been given a specific set of instructions for you. They are time-sensitive and must be completed today. By me? Yes. But nurse johnson and I despised one another. Well, be that as it may, epiphany johnson apparently felt you were the only one to be trusted with this job. Aunt liesl, what does it say? Epiphany was important to me. I understand that, willow. It’s just-without her support, I may never have gone into nursing. I’m considering applying to the nursing program. I’d still be able to work with kids, and maybe some of my experience as a teacher would translate. Hmm, well, the world always needs more good nurses. But you have to go back to school start from scratch. Oh, I know that. I didn’t think there would be any shortcuts. I’m just kind of at a crossroads. I’ll tell you what. If you still want to talk about it, you know where to find me. I don’t think I ever told her how much I appreciated that. I just want to attend the service and light a candle for my friend. And then, I will head straight back home. Promise. Can I count on you to help me do this? Oh, my gosh. You can count on us for anything. Always. We’re with you all the way. How come you’re here? I just want to see you before heading to epiphany’s memorial. Oh, gosh! Mom and dad really wanted to come, but sadly, they couldn’t get away from work. Of course not. Doctors, they’re always so busy trying to save people’s lives, right? Right. Anyways, I decided just because they kind of fly out didn’t mean that I couldn’T. So this young lady booked herself a flight. Of course she did. Wow. I can’t believe you’re sitting here right in front of me. Happy surprise? Oh, it’s the absolute happiest. Oh, come here.

Diane! Oh, my gosh. How long has it been? Too dang long. Come here. How’s max? He’s doing good. And how are you? Pretty sad today. I’m so sorry about epiphany. Thank you, diane. It’s nice to see you. I know I said this when we spoke, but I’m really, really sorry for your loss. I know that you and epiphany had a very special relationship. It really hit home how precious life can be and how it can be gone like that. That’s why we have to be careful. It’s funny, because when I think of life like that, the impermanence of it all, it makes me want to stay close to the people that I love. I know we can’t spend a lot of time together until things settle down, sonny, but if you want company to the memorial, I would love to go with you. I’d like that very much. I think the readings are a mistake. If I cut them, then it leaves more room for people to speak. Hey, elizabeth, this whole service, this celebration, whatever you want to call it, it’s beautiful. But it needs to be perfect. Perfect. I need to make it up to her. I just wish I knew what she was thinking at the end. Maybe I can help with that. Were you a friend of hers? More like she was my guardian angel. Your dear friend epiphany died saving my life.

Grandpa? [Stammering] My little girl! I don’t mean to intrude. I just read about epiphany’s memorial service, and I just-I don’t even know what I was hoping to find. I just jumped in my car, and here I am. You were with her when she passed? We’ve been trying to piece together all the details. It was late. I was driving home after a double shift. I’m a nurse as well. The roads were a mess and visibility was even worse. And I didn’t even see the downed power line before i was practically on it. And I swerved to get out of the way, and then I crashed into a utility pole. It was so much smoke and fire. I was terrified. I can imagine. I managed to get out of the car, but I was in so much pain, and it was so much blood and-then I saw the headlights. Epiphany? She pulled over and she just ran to me. She was barking orders at 911 the entire way. That sounds about right. Epiphany knew that if she moved me, I would bleed out, so she just-she put pressure on my wounds, and she just-she just talked to me in that soothing voice that she had. And she said to me, she said, I promise you I will not leave your side until the paramedics are here. And she didn’T. If it wasn’t for your friend-I just couldn’t stop thinking about her. So I asked my colleagues at the hospital what happened, and they said that she collapsed at the site. They said she had some problem. There was so much smoke, that she had some kind of complications or-she had a pre-existing heart condition. And she didn’t even think twice about risking her own life to save a stranger? That was her. Epiphany was a true healer. Epiphany was a hero. Sorry for your loss. We all lost her, sonny. So did you. Oh, this is milo giambetti. It’s nice to meet you, mr. Ashford. I’ve heard great things. Epiphany spoke very highly of you. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Sonny, you should head to the chapel. Milo, he said? Yeah. What a nice young man. How did he know epiphany? That’s epiphany’s ex-boyfriend. Yeah. She was full of surprises. Wow. Thank you for sharing with us. It means everything. And we’re-we’re very, very glad that you’re all right. Only because of epiphany. It’s comforting, knowing she left this world doing what she loved. Well, it looks to be about that time. All right. You’ll stay for the service, right? Oh, no, I should probably get going. I just-I just wanted epiphany’s loved ones to know what a brave and wonderful person she truly was. We already knew that. Look, please, stay. You drove all this way. Epiphany would want you here. You sure? Positive. Ok, I’ll stay. Who was that? Just one of the countless people who owe their life to epiphany.

thank you all for being here. How do you sum up the life of a person who has touched so many people in so many different ways? People fall into different categories. He’s the heart of the hospital. She’s the brains of the operation. The soul, the glue, the entertainer, the comforter-but not epiphany. No, ’cause she was all of those things wrapped up into one magnificent human being. She was firm and tender. She was a pragmatist, a dreamer. She was a taskmaster. And yet, she told her nurses to take as many mental health days as necessary. There’s a whole host of contradictions that, for some reason, never really seemed to conflict with each other. Fitting that today is just another one of those contradictions. It’s a celebration of her life while our hearts collectively break, mourning a woman who was a mentor, a best friend, someone we all considered family. So what are your plans for tonight? Well, franco has this session and-I didn’t ask you what franco’s plans were. I asked you what your plans were. What are you, the bride-to-be, going to be doing on the night before her wedding? Well, I was going to treat myself to a bubble bath and watch the last two episodes-oh, wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re going out with me for a drink. I’m going to miss her. But I am also flooded with gratitude, because who’s luckier than us to have known and loved and been loved by epiphany? No one’s luckier. Epiphany had a gift for connecting people, for telling them the truth, even when the truth was scary. When I first became a nurse, I was afraid of caring for terminal patients. I didn’t know how to be with them. Tiffany showed me by example. She got me to push past my fear, so I could help those who need me. She was generous with her time, her spirit, and our wisdom. I had my credentials when I got here, but it was epiphany who taught me how to be a nurse. I didn’t know epiphany as long as a lot of people in this room. But the impact that she had on my life-it was indescribable. We were work colleagues. We got along great. She got along great with everyone. But there was a time when she risked everything to protect my daughter and her father. And I think that that speaks to her character. We became great friends after that. And eventually-eventually, she-she became a part of my family. My father once told me, it’s the people who show up at your darkest moments-those are your real friends. God knows I’ve been through some dark moments. You know how much I hate being in this chair, right? Now, it’s time to take it to the next level. I’ll be the judge of that. Just watch. Hold my hand. You stubborn son of a bitch! Look at you! Look at you! If that’s the measure of true friendship, then epiphany was my best friend. It’s hard to imagine general hospital without epiphany. She’s certainly been here for as long as I can remember. It won’t be the same without her. Epiphany was a truthteller. If she liked someone, then they were worth having them in your life, but if she didn’t, it was probably best to avoid them. But epiphany allowed for growth. I think that was one of her best qualities in my opinion, because she believed people could change. They could get stronger, wiser, just better. And that’s a good thing, because i was one of those people. Epiphany ran to my rescue so many times-a lot of people’s rescue.

ladies and gentlemen-gentlemen, before we all rush away, one last piece of business. When I agreed to be epiphany’s executor for her will, she gave me a small but very specific set of instructions for today, but chief among them being that I escort you all to the roof. So please, will you all follow me? You coming? Yeah, I’ll be up in a minute. I have a note for all of us from epiphany. I have to imagine some nice things were said about me today, and tears were probably shed, which I can appreciate, of course. But you know that’s not how I lived my life, even in the darkest of times. I held on to the joy whenever I could, so be sad if you need to be. Safe travels, my worthy adversary. But I would much rather go out with a bang.

[Explosions] No way! Oh, my god. Leave it to epiphany. It’s beautiful. Go out with a bang, you did. Um, boss? Yeah? Correct me if I’m wrong, but these fireworks are-highly illegal, yes. I couldn’t hear that. The fireworks were so loud.

[Laughter] Monica? Am I disturbing the memorial? No, no, no. It just ended. Are you all right? Ugh, I’m fine. I’m just terribly disappointed I couldn’t be at epiphany’s memorial. If I hadn’t been the keynote speaker, I would have backed out. Well, epiphany of all people would appreciate you keeping your commitment. I imagine she would, which brings me to why I’m calling. Diane miller paid me a visit just before I left, and she dropped off a sealed letter that was written by epiphany a few days ago-one she intended to hand-deliver to the review board on your behalf. So she did write a letter of support? I just finished reading it, and i had to share it with you. “Elizabeth baldwin is an extremely talented and dedicated nurse. And watching her grow from a rookie to the leader amongst her peers has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Her commitment to healing knows no bounds. And part of that commitment requires making snap judgments in the moment, assessing tricky situations, and deciding in real time how best to handle them. I believe that’s what elizabeth was doing when she made the choice to treat esme prince while in captivity. Was that choice the right one? Ultimately, no, as is often the case with snap decisions like that. But the thing that separates the good healers from the great ones is accountability. Elizabeth didn’t run from her responsibility. She ran towards it, which makes her the best of us. In fact, it had always been my intention to recommend she be named head nurse when I depart for medical school this fall. I stand by that recommendation now more than ever. Elizabeth has always made me proud, and she’ll make general hospital proud, too.” Elizabeth? Are you still there? Yeah, I’m still here. Well, that’s quite a recommendation, if you ask me. And who am I to deny epiphany’s last wish? Wait, are you saying that-I plan to present the idea to the board at the end of the month. Having another hardy-slash-march from the 10th floor sounds right, don’t you think? Thank you, monica. Thank you. Don’t thank me. Thank epiphany. You take care, elizabeth. Thank you, epiphany. For everything. I love you. You’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore I know you think there’s no way out like you’ve been living in the dark but you don’t have to feel alone I know you’re reaching up for the sky and you keep searching for that but you don’t have to search anymore we’ll be the hands to hold you up we’ll be the eyes to help you see we are here we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you know who I am? My patient.

[Laughs] Magic milo, you disappoint me. Gotta leave something to the imagination.

[Chuckles] Oh, I’ll be imagining. Are you asking me out on a date? Are we going to sing karaoke on that date? No. I have a boyfriend. Good ones do. And he’s not too hard on the eyes either. Don’t you mess with the nurse’s ball. You wouldn’T. Wouldn’t I? Did I or did I not assign you to bedpan duty? Yeah, but-but what? No running. Jason was someone I respected. He respected you, too. I never doubted that.

[Laughter] I’d go a long way to protect the people that I love, and you, my sweet, are on that list. We are here, we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore

Recap written by Eva

This is a special episode dedicated to saying farewell to Epiphany Johnson whose portrayer Sonya Eddy died suddenly in December due to complications from surgery.

A woman arrives at the hospital chapel and tells Elizabeth and Finn that she is a nurse who was driving home from work and she hit a light pole which made her car catch fire. The woman explains that she was able to get out of the car and that is when she saw Epiphany. The nurse helped treat her injuries and stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. The woman explains that when she awakened at the hospital, she was told by the staff that Epiphany collapsed at the accident and died due to smoke inhalation affecting her pre-existing heart condition.

Epiphany’s friends gather at the hospital chapel for a celebration of her life. Anna’s grand-daughter Emma Drake returns to go to the memorial service and stops by the safe house to see Anna and explains to Anna that since her parents Noah and Robin couldn’t come to the service, she would come and attend the memorial service.

Everyone gathered at the hospital chapel shares memories of Epiphany, and the audience sees clips of Epiphany in scenes with each friend who is sharing a memory.

Diane, who is the executor of Epiphany’s will, tells Liesl that Epiphany wanted her to do something special for her memorial service. Once the memorial service was finished, Diane asks everyone to head over to the roof. Diane reads a note from Epiphany telling one to cry if they must but she would much rather go out with a bang. Liesl lights the fuse that starts the beautiful fireworks show.

Elizabeth gets a a call from Monica who was unable to be at the service because she was the keynote speaker at a medical conference. Monica tells Elizabeth that Diane brought her the letter Epiphany wrote for the ethics committee. In the letter Epiphany wrote that Elizabeth was a great nurse who cares deeply for people who need help and sometimes that can lead to making the wrong choice for the right reason. Epiphany continues her letter by saying that Elizabeth always takes responsibility for her actions and that is why she was going to recommend her for the head nurse position before she left for medical school at John’s Hopkins in the fall.

Monica tells Elizabeth that she intends to honor Epiphany’s last wish and recommend to the board that she be made head nurse. The audience hears Epiphany singing the song You’re Not Alone Anymore as the audience sees clips of her before the show ends with a picture of her and a moment of silence.

[Phone rings] – It’s the da’s office. I’m in the middle of a meeting. I already told you, I need more time before I get back to the office. – Time’s up! Get out, now. – I’m sorry. I can’T. – Eileen– – what’s going on? – Oh, my god, she’s going to blow up the whole operation. Eileen, is victor not letting you leave? – No, you can wait for me. – Whatever it is that you’re thinking, don’T. – I can’t really talk right now, but don’t worry. When I get there, I will have all the answers you need, and we won’t have to meet again. – Eileen? Oh, my god, she hung up. – You think he’s on to her? – I don’t know. Ok, I’m calling her again. Oh, god.

[Line trilling] – I’m so sorry for the interruption.

[Phone rings] That won’t happen again. Putting my phone on silent. – Look, you might as well leave, eileen. You– you’ve done your part. – Victor, I don’t want to leave you unhappy. Can’t I do something… to make you feel better?

[Knock at door] – I have the information you were waiting for. – Oh, come in. Not here. Follow me.

[Suspenseful music] – [Sighs]

[Knock at door] – Come on, maxie. Answer my text. Answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer me! Oh! – Hello, lucy. How are you tonight? – Um, I’m– I’m good. Uh, well, that is, if your daughter would just answer my texts. – Oh, maxie’s diligent about responding to text messages. Unless, of course, she’s in a meeting and she can’T. – Unless, of course, she’s choosing not to answer me.

[Sighs] Oh! – There’s that. Anna, valentin, what’s going on? – Eileen’s delivered the counterfeit necklace to victor, but now she’s refusing to pick up the phone. – Do you thing he’s on to her? – It’s impossible to say, but we’re afraid eileen’s gone rogue. – She’s putting herself, us, the whole operation in jeopardy.

[Muffled pop music] – Cam, what the hell? I know this is your party, but– – it’s his party, yes. He’s the man of the hour. Hey, cam. – Hi, grandma. – Good to see you. – I know my, uh, guests are unexpected. – Esme, welcome. – Um, for the record, this wasn’t my idea. Cameron invited me. – This is my son’s going-away party. He can invite anyone he wants. Hi. It’s nice to see you outside of spring ridge. – Well, I don’t respond well to being locked up. As you know.

[Tense music] – Yes, the nurses’ ball is officially sold out. But you’ve been so generous to the hospital, I will see what I can do about squeezing in a party of four. Ok.

[Sighs] – Brook lynn, your list of performers is fantastic. You have totally outdone yourself. What a great lineup! – I agree, brook lynn. You did such a fantastic job recruiting people. – Thank you. Well, now on to the hard part. What order do they perform in? – Everybody knows this is for a great cause, so I think they’ll just put their egos aside. They’ll accept whatever order we come up with. – How do people hear something is sold out and still expect to get tickets? I have to add another table. – Where? We have to stick with the fire code. – I’m sure I can figure something out.

[Phones rings] Oh. Maxie. – Why are you ignoring my texts? And– and what are you hiding? What are you doing to my show? – Hello again. Let me go someplace more private. – Ok. Show order. Let’s start with the easy calls. Uh, gh doctors and nurses will start, obvs. But then what? – The second and third acts can’t be from gh nurses, since they’ll need time to change. – Right. The nurses will be a good emotional beginning. But then the next act, it really needs to grab the audience’s attention. It has to be exciting, you know, have sex appeal. What act sends the message that you are in for the night of your life, and you don’t want to miss a single minute?

[Dramatic music]

– This is not what we agreed to. Text only, no more phone calls. – Maxie. Maxie, listen to me. I’m sorry. I really am not trying to micromanage you. It’s just, you don’t know what it feels like to be stuck in this safe house. Oh, with the nurses’ ball– my baby– is going on without me. – And I hear that, but I can either talk to you or get the nurses’ ball going. I can’t do both. – Well, that’s where you’re wrong. I have an idea. – Bobbie, I’m here for my rehearsal. – Oh, felix is running rehearsals right next door. – Thank you. – Chase, you’re here. Great. Uh, did you bring a copy of your song lyrics for the director? – I did. – Oh, great. Um, where’s blaze? I figured you two would show up together. – Oh, I’m sorry. She texted me and said she couldn’t make it tonight. – What? This is her final rehearsal. She can’t just wing it on the big night. – I’ll just– I’ll go over the routine with her. I’ll make sure she knows it. Blaze is a total pro. It’ll go off without a hitch. – From your lips. – Whatever’s going on with you and chase, he is clearly not indifferent to you. Don’t give up hope. – Trust me, there’s no hope. Chase made that very clear to me yesterday.

[Sighs] – Diane, always a pleasure. What brings you here? – Oh, I just finished a painfully boring dinner with an out-of-town client. What about you? – Well, I’m due to meet a contact here for a drink, but I– starting to think I’ve been stood up. – I don’t buy that for a second. – Esme, don’t make me regret bringing you. And do not talk to my mom like that. – It’s ok. She was just speaking her truth. Again, I am sorry for everything.

[Baby cooing] – My mom just apologized. I feel like you should acknowledge that. Remember what you were saying earlier about wanting to be a better person? – I am sorry, elizabeth, and I do appreciate your apology. But I really think that I should just go. It’s pretty obvious no one wants me here. – Ok, because of your past, esme. You have to try to show people that you’re a changed person. There is a life for you here. You just got to try. – Why don’t you hand me your diaper bag, and I’ll help you get settled in. – Ok. – Over here. – So tell me what happened. – Well, I might have been walking to your apartment, and I might have caught esme trying to walk through the front door. – Oh, ok. And I am guessing that she wasn’t just going for a walk. – You know what, she actually tried to convince me otherwise. But after some grilling, she later admitted that she was trying to leave town for good with ace. I eventually talked her down, but i didn’t want to chance leaving her alone, so I brought them here. – Thank you. – I’m going to have a quick chat with esme about trying to take off with my little brother. – Spencer, no. Not now. Not here. – Cameron webber! I can’t believe that you’re headed to stanford. This town won’t be the same.

[Baby fussing] What the hell is esme doing here? – Um, what happened to jake and aiden? – Cam told me that their family is going to have a special goodbye breakfast for him on the day he leaves. – Oh. I didn’t know. God, it’s just so weird to see esme with a baby. They need to get that poor kid the hell away from her as soon as possible. Memory or no memory, she’s still bad news. – So we called eileen’s cell, she picked up, and then she refused to leave victor’s room. – Do you think she’s double-crossed us? – I don’t know. I don’t think so. She said that she would be able to get us all the answers that we need. Oh, my god, do you know what she’s doing? She’s going after the decryption key. – Well, that’s good. Because we already have the real ice princess necklace, complete with correct code. If she can deliver the decryption key, then we don’t have to follow victor. We’ll be one step ahead. – I don’t know. People who think they’re one step ahead of victor cassadine have a tendency of getting stabbed in the back.

[Tense music] – I thought we weren’t going to be interrupted again. – I didn’t know how long you two were going to take, and my real job is very demanding. – Oh, you work for me. That’s the only job that’s important, remember? Your very life depends on it. – I’m well aware. But I do have a meeting that I have to go to with the zoning board, so– – you will leave when I say you can leave. You’re not done yet.

[Ominous music]

[Muffled pop music] – Epiphany, why aren’t you calling me back? – I knew my grandmother shouldn’t have left esme alone. – You don’t have to watch her every single second. – I can sure as hell try. – I have a better idea. Since esme can’t remember her past, she’s like a blank slate. Can we at least try to coexist with her? – You want me to be nice to her? After everything that she’s done? – I didn’t say that. But we can at least try to turn down the overt hostility. – I really screwed things up with chase. – You sure? Tell me what happened. – Tell me, brook lynn, if you signed that non-disclosure agreement so that I could stop singing and I could be a cop– if you were so convinced that you were doing the right thing, that you were doing it for me– then why wouldn’t you just tell me? Why make up some story about writing advertising jingles for linc? I’ll tell you why. Because you knew I would be angry, and you knew that what you did was wrong. But you were right about one thing. You’re not the person I thought you were. – I blew it. Epic fail. There is no going back. – Brook lynn, what’s wrong? – Nothing. Let’s, uh, figure out the show order. – Well, I think we should just start at the end and work backwards. – [Scoffs] Bobbie, you would say something like that. That is ridiculous. Maxie, don’t listen to her. – So maxie, are you going to be the one to announce how much money we made and say good night? – No, no. I think someone from gh should do that. – Oh. – It won’t be the same without lucy. I miss her. – It’s funny, I feel like lucy is right here in the room with us. – I miss you too, sasha. So much. You are a good egg. – But since lucy isn’t here to be the mistress of ceremonies, there’s really one possible choice. It has to be you, bobbie. – (Screaming) no! – I mean, who would stand up robert scorpio? – [Chuckles] Well, it’s a business meeting. I mean, not a date. – [Laughs] I still find it criminal that two people such as ourselves are working at this hour. – Oh, come on. You’re killer miller. You’re never off the clock. – [Laughs] Well, I wouldn’t say never. But I’d be happy to put it all aside if I got the right offer.

[Phone ringing] – Excuse me. This is my business contact. I got to take this one. You know, justice never sleeps. – Right. Have a good night. – What’s up? – Eileen is still with victor. You need to go in there and get her out. – I’m on it.

[Suspenseful music] – Well, hello again. – I thought you were leaving. – I was, but alexis called. She’s still working late. Wants me to meet her for dessert upstairs. So come on, I’ll ride up with you. – Hm. – I still don’t have the information my brother mikkos engraved onto the ice princess. – I brought you the necklace. The decryption key failed you, not me. You said so yourself. – Regardless, I need more time. I need you to return this necklace to the pcpd secure locker room, so no one will know it went missing. That’ll give my people time to work on the decryption key, see where we went wrong. – I only am sorry you couldn’t crack the code. I truly was hoping this would all be finished tonight. – I promise you, eileen, you’ll be done with this very soon. There’s just one more thingI need you to do for me.

[Tense music]

– (On phone) no, I’m not sure I should be the one to close the nurses’ ball. What about elizabeth, or felix, or deanna? – Finally, you actually said something right, bobbie. It definitely should not be you! – (On phone) true, they’re all nurses. But this is the 60th anniversary. You have been at the hospital the longest, and you’re co-chair of the nurses’ ball. – [Sighs] You know what, sasha? You really don’t need to be quite so literal. I mean, I wasn’t even a candy striper and I represented gh just fine. Anybody but bobbie. Why bobbie? Not bobbie spencer, ok? The– the ball needs to end with a bang, not a whimper! – Stop it! – Maxie, you all right? – Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I’ll shut up. Mm. I’m– mm. Shut up. – I’m– I’m sorry for yelling.

[Laughs nervously] It’s just all this talk about lucy, it’s creating this relentless chatter in my head, telling me that the nurses’ ball is not going to be good this year. – Cut yourself some slack, maxie. You are working so hard. We all are. The ball is going to be great. – I agree with sasha. I’ve worked a lot of balls with lucy, and I know what she would want. – That’s right, felix. You tell them. – I think lucy would be behind you 100%, bobbie. – Et tu, felix? No. Please, anyone but bobbie! – You know what, felix? I agree with you. I just need to tell that annoying voice in my head to shut up. – Maxie? Maxie?

[Stammering] Maxie? Come back. Come back!

[Squeals] – Laura, esme and the baby are staying with you? I know you like to take risks, but i think that’s a little crazy. – I know, I know. It– the thing is, esme’s baby is completely innocent. And it’s my grandchild, and I feel like I need to protect him. – What– what the hell is this? – Club soda. – Where’s the vodka? I mean, cameron’s underage, but I’m not. – I take it liesl’s still mad at you? – Yeah. I went to her apartment and she threw all my suits in the hallway. There was actually people trying them on. – [Laughs] – Scott, I’m really sorry I’ve caused this rift between you and liesl. – It is not your fault, elizabeth. Not your fault, ok? So how did the ethics committee go? – I got reinstated. – Ok, good! You get to keep your job. – But I’m worried i may have lost a friend. – I thought you were heading upstairs for a drink? – Well, plans changed. She now wants to meet in her room. – Well, if your contact is staying here in the hotel, why were you waiting for her in the lobby?

[Muffled country music] – Um, my arm fell asleep. – Try switching arms every once in a while. – Oh. That’s better, thanks. – So you met spencer in boarding school. You didn’t ever babysit before that? – I have no idea. I mean, I don’t remember anything before I woke up at gh. – Right. Sorry. – Um, I– I heard about what I did to you in the past, the revenge porn. But I swear, I don’t have any memory of doing it, or even know why that I would. – Yeah. That’s what you keep saying. – And I honestly hope that I never remember. I mean, I don’t want to be that person. I– I just want to be a good mom to ace. It’s important to me that i set a good example for him. I mean, that’s all that matters to me now. – Victor cassadine has a room on this floor. Is that why you’re here? – You should get back on the elevator and go and find alexis. – Uh-huh. What has victor done now? – Actually, it’s eileen ashby I’m looking for. – The deputy mayor?

[Knocks] – Victor, open up! – You sure victor’s in there? – Well, he was five minutes ago. – Maybe victor has left the building. – I just hope he hasn’t left a corpse behind. – A corpse? Well, this is getting good. So what are you going to do now? – Well, I’m going to kick in the door. And you– you’re going to find alexis. – Hm. – What do you know? And that’s never worked before. Hm. – Why hasn’t robert called us back? – I don’t know. He’s in the middle of something, or there’s no update. – Eileen can’t still be with victor. – Just worried that she’s pushed him too hard, you know? Victor was already suspicious of her, and maybe now he’s realized that she’s working against him. – Well, if he knows, then we’re done. Because eileen would turn on us in a heartbeat. – Or maybe she saw an opportunity, and she jumped on it. If she can get victor’s decryption key, then that’s going to make things a lot easier for us. – If we still have the real necklace, then we have the advantage. – Yeah. – Because victor needs it. He’s been looking for it for a long time. He can’t move forward without it. – I just hope he hasn’t decided that eileen is standing in his way. – [Sighs] – I thought you were going to kick the door down. – Yeah. Well, I suddenly remembered I wasn’t 25 anymore. – Allow me. – Where’d you get that? – I found a maid, i borrowed her master key, and the city needs to reimburse me $40. – Stay back. – Ok.

[Lock beeps]

[Ominous music]

– Ok. Thanks for the update. Yeah. – Well? – [Sighs] Robert got into victor’s room. Neither of them were there. It was empty. – How’d they get past robert? – I don’t know. I mean, service elevator or something? He said there was no sign of a struggle. – So eileen went with him willingly. – Either that, or they overpowered her and took her out back in a laundry cart. – Oh, it doesn’t do us any good to assume the worst. Where do you think victor took her? – I don’t know. I mean, it all depends on whether eileen blew her cover or not. – Bobbie, I think you are the perfect person to end the ball. – Well, I am honored, really. But there are other nurses deserving of that honor. – What if it causes friction? I mean, whoever we ask, someone else is bound to feel slighted. – I don’t really think we have to worry about that. Ok, what the heck. Maybe I should do it anyway. – What changed your mind? – If anything could bring lucy back from the grave, it would be seeing me up on that stage instead of her.

[Laughter] – I’ve been trying to reach epiphany, but no luck. – I told elizabeth I think that she’s probably just really busy. She’s probably having the time of her life checking out johns hopkins’ campus. – I just can’t help but feel she’s avoiding me. – I don’t think that’s epiphany’s style. – Yeah, I agree with laura here. Because you know, she’s a straight shooter. I know that from personal experience with epiphany. – I’m sure when she gets back to town, you’ll hear from her. – I hope so. – You ok? – Terrific. I’m the one who should be leaving town, not you. – Well, I think that you’re better off here. Esme, where would you go? You can’t raise ace by yourself. – I mean, charlie’s is full of people, but I’m still on my own. – It doesn’t have to be that way, esme. It’s your choice. – Ok. So for your song, chase, what kind of lighting are you looking for? – Well, it’s a love song, so I figured keep it simple. – Really? Because in my book, there’s nothing simple about love. I do know someone who might have some ideas, though. Hey, brook lynn. – Hey. – We need your $0.02. – About what? – How do you feel about love? – Why did you bring me here? – I like privacy for these kinds of things. – What kind of thing?

[Screams] What the– what are you doing? Oh– – [Clicking tongue] Oh, this doesn’t belong to you, eileen. I wonder why I shouldn’t just kill you right now? – Because I know things. – Such as? – Valentin and anna aren’t dead. They’re alive, and in port charles.

– I need some direction here– for lighting, for set design. So let’s get to the basics. Is it a sad love song or a happy one? – I’d say it’s a happy one, filled with love and optimism. – Is it, though? The lyrics are full of yearning. – And passion. – What you had, but lost. – I mean, is it ever really lost? Chemistry doesn’t fade away. – No, chemistry doesn’t fade away. But it can take a wrong turn, and then where are you? You’re lost. – Hoping to be found again. – So lighting for lost and found. I can do that.

[Wistful music] – I can help you look. You’ve just got to tell me what we’re looking for. – Ok. Well, it turns out eileen was working with victor. We had a little talk to her, convinced her to change sides. However, loyalty is not eileen’s strong point. We’re concerned that she may have panicked and told victor everything. – What did victor do? – He killed luke spencer. – My son is alive? And anna? But what about lucy? – She’s alive, too. They’re all hiding out in town. – Where? – I don’t know. A safe house. They always blindfolded me when they brought me there. The first time, felicia scorpio brought me. Another time, it was robert scorpio. – Why steal this if the decryption key didn’t work? – Because the key wasn’t the problem. The necklace I gave you was a fake. Please, I– I didn’t want to do it. They threatened me. Wait, wait, wait! They have the real necklace, and I can get it for you. I– I will do anything i can to make this right.

[Phone rings] – I want to ignore this, but it could be nurses’ ball business. Hello? – Hey. I– I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. Please don’t hang up. Don’t– don’t hang up. I swear to you, I will be quiet as a mouse. – I am so sick of you trashing any idea that is not yours. We are all working our butts off here. – I know. I– I know. I’m sorry. It’s just I care too much, that’s all. – You have to trust me to do what’s right. – I do. I– I do. You are great. But please, bobbie cannot host in my place. – No one is taking your place. We all agreed no one person can fill your shoes, so we’re going to have different gh staff members introduce various acts. – Uh, did you not learn anything from the daisy awards? That– that really is a terrible idea. – Call me again, and I’m blocking your number for good. Goodbye.

[Beeps]

[Sighs] – The problem is, now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir. Not while there’s a breath left in my body. – Come on, spencer. It’s not that bad. We both know that grandmother won’t let anything bad happen to ace. – Oh, I wasn’t thinking about my brother. No, I was just thinking about how when you leave town, no one’s going to be here to keep me in line. – How about trina and joss? – That’s true, but it’s not going to be the same. I’m going to miss you, man. – Ok. Can I have everybody’s attention? I got a few things to say about cameron. – Oh, boy. – Cameron and I are not related by blood, but I certainly consider him family. Now, he’s had a tough year, but he’s kept his chin up. Now stanford has him. Our loss. So good luck, I love you, and i got something for your wallet.

[Laughter] – Thank you, scotty. – I’m so proud of you. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – Thank you guys so much for coming. – All right, bring it in. Bring it in. – I’m gonna miss you. – Group hug. – So proud of you.

– Um, laura’s offered to take us home, so we’re going to be leaving now. But thank you for inviting me. Just my luck, the one person who’s been kind to me is leaving town. – Grandma has been nice to you. – True. Um, she does have an ulterior motive. – No. She’s not like that. – Cam, I am going to miss you so, so much, you know? You’re a very, very special young man. You’re my little soccer star.

[Chuckles] – Thanks, grandma. I love you, too. – Ok. I’ll help you get your stuff. – Thanks. Oh, thank you. – Thank you, scott. – Look. Uh, I know you guys used to be a couple. Is that going to be a problem here? – No, we’re good. – Yeah, we’ll get it done. – [Sighs] – So there it is. The show order is set! – This nurses’ ball is going to be special– worthy of gh’s 60th anniversary. – Oh, no, no, no, no. It is simply madness not to have one host. You need that one person to tie everything together, to keep the evening moving. This is bad. This is really bad. This is not going to work. I have to be there. The nurses’ ball needs me. – Mom? Thank you for the party. It was a lovely sendoff. – Oh, everyone wanted a chance to say goodbye and tell you how much they love you. – It’s strange. I hate that I’m leaving, but I can’t wait to get there. – I know. You’re going to love it there, but I’m going to miss you. – I’m gonna miss you too, mom.

[Emotional music]

[Phone rings] – Oh, it’s eileen. – Ok. – Eileen, are you all right? Are you still with victor? – I’m sorry, I– I thought I could get the decryption key, but it didn’t work out. – Are you compromised? Does victor know that the necklace was a fake? – No, no. Victor didn’t suspect anything. – Ok, good. And you’re all right. Just don’t go against orders again. – I can’t do this anymore. I’m out. – Don’t forget the evidence we have against you. – My life is ruined already. I’m leaving town, and I’m going to get as far away from victor cassadine as possible. – All right, calm down. Just calm down. – There. I did what you wanted. – Well done. Now there’s just one more little thing.

[Tense music] – We’ve lost eileen. – She sounded terrified. I mean, I just hope that she’s halfway to the canadian border by now. – If victor didn’t suspect her, he will when she goes missing. – Yeah. At least we have the real necklace. As long as we have that, we still stand a chance. – You promised you’d help me get out of town, away from anna’s reach. – I promise, my dear. You won’t have

to worryabout anna devane again. – [Screaming]

[Splashing] – Good night, mom. I love you. – I love you more.

[Melancholy music]

[Line trilling] – (On phone) hello, this is state trooper carlson. – Hi, I’m trying to reach epiphany johnson. – I’m very sorry, but I have bad news about your friend.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– good afternoon, mr. Ashford. Hey. I’m here to pick up trina. – Ok, I’m going to head out. It was good to see you. – What’s the rush? Come on in, mr. Cassidine. I think you and I are overdue for a chat. – This is it. Your grandmother and mayor may be on the up and up, but I’m not willing to wait around and find out. – Esme, going somewhere? – How are you holding up, mom? – Letting go is hard. – Oh, sweetheart. Oh. – I think we should have heard from eileen. She must have delivered the necklace by now. – Maybe she’s stuck in traffic. Just give it time. We don’t have to assume the worst. Yet. Victor will be convinced the necklace is real when he sees the false code we engraved in the replica. Once he’s got that, he’ll make hisk – what are you looking for? – This isn’t right. Something’s missing. – Like what? What could be missing? – The key. It’s not– oh, wait a sec. Ah. That’s more like it. – So you have what you need. Are we done here? – Oh. On the contrary, my dear. We’re just getting started.

[Theme music playing]

Well, I am convinced that these codes are coordinates, but we’re not going to know that until victor takes the bait. And there’s no guarantee that he’s going to fall for these fake codes. I mean, he could easily just figure out that someone’s trying to set him up. And I have to say, that i am not in love with eileen being our asset. – We still have the element of surprise. As far as victor knows, we are dead. And drew cain is completely above suspicion. He’s out of the loop. – It does give us an advantage. You’re right. But we have to be ready for any kind of complication. – One of them is taking an epic bubble bath as we speak. We just have to stay vigilant. We may have to improvise. – I’m due back at city hall. Good luck. – City hall? City hall can wait. I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to get to this moment. Surely, you want to witness it? – Well, I’d be lying if I said i wasn’t curious to know exactly what this is all about. – Well, of course you are. And you deserve some answers. There. All yours, my dear. – What are you saying? – Well, call it a thank-you gift. – But this is worth millions. Don’t you want it? – Fencing stolen jewelry is really not my style. – I’m a public official. I– I don’t know what to do with that. – Well, return it to the pcpd secure lock up for all I care. – But if you don’t want the necklace, then what is this all about? – Oh, I’m just saving the world. – We can’t really stay. We have to go to cam’s party early, so we can help his mom set up. – Oh, this won’t take long. Besides, didn’t you tell me you had to get some photos ready for the party? – Right. But we really– we have to go. It’s– – I’ve already had lunch, trina. I promise I won’t bite. – Nothing to worry about. – Ok. This shouldn’t take long. – We’ll be here.

[Tense music playing] Want to sit? – Look, mr. Ashford, I know that you and your family and most of trina’s friends don’t approve of our friendship. – Except you and trina are more just friends, aren’t you? Which changes everything. – Jake set up all the decorations and aiden made the cake. Wait till you see it. – Oh I’m sure he’s outdone himself. So how are the boys dealing with their brother moving across the country? – Well, they’re trying not to make a big deal out of it, but I can tell they’re sad to see him go. – They’re not the only ones. I’m very proud of cameron, but I just– I can’t imagine walking into kelly’s and not seeing him there or just knowing he’s somewhere in town. – It’s all I can do to not fall apart every time I think about putting him on a plane to california. – I know. – I know it’s– it’s an incredible opportunity. It’s full scholarship and he gets to play vision I soccer. And I want him to live a full and happy life. I just wish he was closer. Is that selfish? – No, it’s understandable. He’s your baby. – I want him here where I can keep an eye on him. – I know that feeling. Elizabeth, honey, we need to talk about nikolas. – Um– I don’t have to answer to you. What I do is none of your business. – Oh, I think it is because this is my grandmother’s house. – You’re cameron webber? Another one of laura’s grandsons and another one of my victims? Allegedly. – Is that what your lawyers told you to say, allegedly? How about actually? You actually ruined my life. You actually recorded me and my girlfriend having sex without our consent and sent it to the whole university. You actually humiliated us and turned what could have been a beautiful moment in our relationship into something awful. And now you don’t remember the hell that you put me and my friends through because you lost your memory. Allegedly. – Come on in. Tell me more about the horrible person that I was. Look, um– I really don’t remember doing that, but you seem pretty adamant. So if I did, I’m really sorry. I hope you and your girlfriend are all right. – I don’t need your fake apologies, all right? They mean nothing to me. – Look, obviously, you’re angry and I get why. I’m sure you le seeing me here just out of prison and at the mercy of people who I don’t even trust. Karma’s a bitch, right? – Josslyn! Oh, my gosh, I am so happy that I ran into you. – Hi. Let me guess, you’re going to talk to me about the nurses’ ball. – Have I er told you how smart you are? – Look, there’s no need to butter me up. My grandma told me that you’re trying to pull everything together for the hospital’s 60th. Anything you need, I’m in. – Great. So you’ll perform? – Oh, except that. But I– I can do phone calls and decorations and– – no, anybody can do that stuff. I need talent. Your performance at the 2020 telethon was a huge hit. I mean, I can practically hear lucy screaming, – yeah. Wow, I still can’t believe that lucy’s not here. , Look, performing is really cam’s thing. And it would just feel really weird to do it without him. – Yeah, it’s really unfortunate cameron’s leaving right before the ball. But you could perform with trina, right? – Well, that would depend on trina. – Oh, we got to think positive. Oh, and all the performers, they get a plus one.

I don’t understand. You said this was the necklace that would lead you to the place you’ve been searching for. – Well, the necklace is merely the conduit to the key, the code engraved on the diamond, the key that unlocks the door. – Wha– to saving the world? – Many years ago, my brothers, anthony, mikkos and I, developed a means of putting the world back to rights. I thought at the time that we were all motivated by the same idea, mitigating the harm humanity has done to the world. What I came to understand was that mikkos was actually motivated more by power and money. I tried to make him see sense. But by then, luke spencer showed up with laura and ruined everything. Now look at us, we’re running out of time. – Ok. So how do you intend to pull us back from the brink? With that code? – Well, we– we were aware that our plan might well be thwarted, so we came up with a contingency. Mikkos had the code engraved on the back of the diamond, which I now have. All that remains is for me to crack the code. – Well, this isn’t over until we crack the code and find out what it’s for. – Until we know what victor is after, honestly eileen, none of us are free. – So how do you plan to do that? – Hi. – Hello. – Joss, who’s your friend? – Dex heller. I work for sonny corinthos. – Maxie jones. I was just talking with josslyn about this year’s nurses’ ball. In fact, your boss is one of our biggest supporters. – Yeah, I knew that. Mr. Corinthos is quite charitable. – I’m chairing the event this year. I’m actually still looking to beef up one of our more popular acts. Tell me, do you dance, dex? – Not in public. – Oh, don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure you have the pecs– pipes, chops. Josslyn, tell him how much fun it is. – Do you sing? – She brings the house down every year. She’s excellent. – Oh, so you’re performing? – I didn’t say that. Don’t let us keep you, maxie. – Ok. I’m not done with you or you. I’m going to get some caffeine. Don’t go anywhere. – You enjoyed that a little too much. – I didn’t know you sang. – Well, there’s a lot you don’t know about me. There’s a lot i don’t know about you. – I thought you were living at kelly’S. You’re staying here? – Well, that would require a, staying here with spencer and laura. And I will not be separated from my son. I mean, he’s all that I have. – So why were you leaving? – We were just taking a walk. – Kind of cold out for a baby, huh? – Babies need fresh air. – You know, the old esme was a lot better at lying than you are. – Ok, you caught me. But you’re not going to rat me out to your grandmother, are you? She’s not here, by the way. I’m all alone. Maybe they were testing me, which I’ve obviously failed. – I didn’t come to see my grandmother. I came to see spencer.

[Baby coos] – Great. Now he has more ammunition to take ace away from me. – Can you blame him for wanting to protect his baby brother? – Well, he doesn’t need to protect ace from me. Why does he not believe me? So you’re not going to believe me either. I’m sure you love seeing me here, you know, taking care of my baby instead of being in prison. – You know, I’m actually not that mad about it, especially because I’m part of the reason why you’re free. – I know what you’re thinking. – Oh, you do? Enlighten me. – When you look at me, all you see is the guy who hurt trina. More than once. – I’m aware of everything you’ve done, man. No need to rehash it. – Yeah, but I do. Every day I live with the regret of how much I hurt trina. And I hate myself for it, mr. Ashford. But I do care about her. I understand that you are reluctant. And I don’t blame you for wanting to keep me away from her, for thinking that I don’t deserve her. But I’m honest with myself about what I did and the kind of person that I was. And I’m trying to become a better man. I know that you have no reason to believe me. – That’s where you’re wrong. Stop beating yourself up before you knock yourself out. I can see you’re trying, and a steady support for trina with her mother, and curtis, before them, with rory. Now she tells me you stepping up to fight for your baby brother. Despite what you may think, i can appreciate you for that. – First, I want to be really clear. I don’t blame you. I don’T. I just wish that you trusted me enough to tell me what was going on with nikolas. You know, when they made me aware of your immunity deal, I realized that when you got involved with this at that time, that was right after you had come back from seeing your parents. You were in a really vulnerable state then, elizabeth. Nikolas should not have put you in that position. – Thank you for your understanding, but I own what I did. I shouldn’t have gone along with this plan, especially once we figured out that esme wasn’t the hook killer. But by then, we were in so deep. – Why didn’t you come to me? You can trust me. You know that. – I know, but I don’t want to bring anybody else in and make them an accomplice. And laura, you’re not only the boy’s grandmother, you’re the mayor. I didn’t want to make you part of this mess. And more than that, i value your opinion of me. I was ashamed of what I had done. And I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to be ashamed of me, too.

I am proud of your courage, that you stepped forward to take care of this thing, and after nikolas left you holding the bag. – You’re still his mom. I know you love him. It must be really hard not knowing where he is. – It is. But I honestly don’t know what to do with nikolas anymore. I really don’T. He keeps falling back into the same trap. He makes a rash decision, then he tries to cover it up. And then he runs away. I mean, if he felt able to confide in me, he would be here right now. He would be with his two sons instead of god knows where, and I don’t know, possibly indebted to victor. I mean– I’m sorry. I– I shouldn’t be doing this right now. Nikolas made the choices he made. And now we are left to deal with the consequences. – While I face almost no consequences. – That is the last thing that I expected you to say. – Don’t get used to it. But after seeing that you’re stepping up, fighting for your baby brother, I cannot do anything but be appreciative for you. – Thank you, sir. That means more than you know. – And your brother, that’s one thing. Trina, that’s a whole ‘nother thing. I’m not going to pretend i don’t have concerns about you being with trina, especially after dealing with all this mess with esme. – I understand. But I hope that I can get you to believe that I do want what’s best for her and that I’m trying to be a better man for both her and my brother. – It’s good you want to do better for the people you care about. But in my experience, to truly change, you got to want it for yourself. Looking for validation from the outside only lead you back to your old patterns, or worse still, down the wrong path altogether. You get what I’m saying to you? Trina is willing to go to great lengths for you. I better see her faith in your rewarded. – My friends and I didn’t want the da to prosecute you. It was trina who pushed for it. So she contacted her attorney, diane miller, to intervene. She then spoke with the da to ask to drop all the charges. – Why would you do that? Don’t you guys hate me? – Well, if you were going to trial now, without your memories, a sympathetic jury might find you not guilty. And if you got them back, we wouldn’t be able to try you again. – So this isn’t about grace. This is about keeping me in check so that I can still be convicted. – Well, and also keeping ace out of prison. – Right, spencer’s baby brother. I mean, you guys are cousins and friends. Obviously, I guess you’d do anything for him. – Pretty much. He needs this for his baby brother. And he’s willing to wait to see you brought to justice. Sorry to sound insensitive. – Oh, it definitely does. But I think that it might just be the first honest thing anyone said to me since I got back. – I can’t stand not knowing what’s going on with eileen. Why didn’t she just wear the bloody wire? – Well, there’s nothing we can do about it now. Will you humor me? – Yeah. What’s on your mind? – It occurs to me that if everything goes according to plan tonight, you and I will be heading home, resuming our normal lives. What is the first thing you’re going to do? – The first thing I’m going to and I’m going to book myself a ticket to the bay area so that I can see robin, emma, and noah. And I’m going to give them all the biggest hug they’ve ever had in their lives. That’s what I’m going to do. How about you? – Me? I will probably take a road trip with charlotte, check a couple of boxes off the bucket list, while reconnecting with my teenage daughter. And then dive headfirst into elq and build some serious generational wealth. – That’s interesting. – What is? – After all these months together, it seems that when we go home, we’re not going to be spending so much time in each other’s lives. – It took me decades to track down the decryption key, but I finally managed it. All I needed then was the ice princess, itself. But by the time I acquired that, luke spencer had already sold off several pieces. Took me another several years to find the right piece. But now, finally– finally, I have everything I need to complete what I set out to do. – Saving the world. – And ensuring a place for my family and their progeny. But saving the world comes at a cost. – What do you mean? – Well, I can ensure the future for my family, but countless other souls will have to pay the price, possibly for generations to come.

I didn’t expect to see you back at kelly’s so soon. – I was hoping you’d still be around. – Wow, what happened to keeping our distance? – It’s harder than it sounds. I just wanted to see how you were holding up. Cameron was a little intense earlier. – What did he say? – Nothing unexpected, just he cares about you and doesn’t want to see you hurt. – And what did you say? – I said I care about you, too. – Amazing. I told you guys to wait, and you listened. That never happens. Does that mean that you are considering being talent for the nurses’ ball? – Oh, we’re still working on it. – Oh, hurry up and say yes already. In the meantime, I’m going to reserve your tickets. – Oh, I only need one. I’m going solo this year. – That could be fun. What about you? Handsome guy like yourself, you probably need two tickets? – I’m holding out till I can take someone special, so maybe next year. – Here you go, fresh new diaper. He is a really good baby. But I have to admit, taking care of a newborn is no joke. I’m tired all of the time. And I am scared most of the time. – You’ve got a lot on your plate. – You’re kind, just like your grandmother. But it’s not just the baby that’s making me tired. I mean, ever since I got here, I’ve had to be on guard. Everyone I’ve met has tried to use me to their advantage. I mean, first my– my lunatic parents, now spencer and his incredibly privileged family. It’s like I can’t trust anyone. – I hear you, esme. But you got to understand, just because you forgot all the things that you’ve done, doesn’t mean everyone else has to. We don’t trust you for good reason. – Yeah, but it’s not like I can go back in time and undo it all. I mean, not that anyone would believe me. Apparently, I was a great liar. But what happens to me if I never get my memory back? I mean, will everyone just see me as this pariah that I used to be? – Not necessarily. I knew someone once. He was the town pariah. He made a lot of mistakes, hurt a lot of people. He was in all sorts of trouble with the law. After a while, he thought that he wouldn’t be able to come back from any of it. But he stuck around, made a new life for himself. And not only did he find acceptance, he found love and a family, too. – You’re not talking about yourself, are you? – No. I’m talking about my stepfather and your brother. – Did you get your photos? – Yeah, I have them. I even put them on a flash drive. – Good. Thank you for the chat, mr. Ashford. It was illuminating. – You two have fun tonight and– be careful. – Ok, be honest. Did marshall put your feet to the fire? – Yeah, they’re a little smoky, but I’m good. – I’ll talk to him. – Not necessary. He was honest and wise. He gave me a lot to think about, a whole new perspective. – On what? – Us. – What kind of cost are you talking about, victor? – Oh, don’t be alarmed, my dear. I won’t forget your contribution. You’ll be taken care of. So all I need to do now, is to enter the code engraved on the back of the ice princess into the program. The program will then decrypt that code and turn it into a set of coordinates.

[Beeping sound] Oh, yeah. Wait, that can’t be right. – What– what’s going on? – You’ve betrayed me. – Don’t misunderstand, I’m incredibly grateful the da agreed to give me immunity. I need my job. I have three boys to provide for, two of which who still need me on a daily basis. It would have been incredibly irresponsible of me to jeopardize their well-being. – You don’t have to convince me. But it sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself. Do you think you’re feeling guilty because you didn’t pay a high enough price? – Maybe. In hindsight, i don’t know how i couldn’t see what a colossal mistake I was making. You know, in the beginning, I thought I was doing the right thing. But then it just started to spiral and it got away from me. People got hurt, and lisa lost britt and– I know I’m going to encounter more people that think I deserve to be behind bars. – You know, you can’t concern yourself with that. You really can’T. Or them. – I’ve already let down so many people I care about, you and cameron, even epiphany. – Why epiphany? – I haven’t heard a peep from her. I know she’s busy visiting johns hopkins, but I can’t help but feel that there’s a deeper reason for her silence. – Oh, elizabeth, honey, come here. You made a mistake, all right? Everybody makes them. What matters is how you move forward. – You’d think I’d know that by now. – You didn’t disappoint me. You didn’t disappoint cameron. And I would bet money that you didn’t disappoint epiphany. Really, sweetie, the people who love you still love you. As sreal – so what was marshall’s perspective on us? – He told me that if i wanted to be a better man, which I do, that I need to do it for me, and not because– – because I want you to. – That’s right. Marshall reminded me that I’m going to keep an eye on what I want out of life, what’s most important to me. – Do you know? – Honestly, I’m not sure. – I am. You deserve to be happy, spencer. – You make me very happy. And the only thing that I know for sure is that I want you in my life. – Well, that’s a relief, because I have no plans of going anywhere.

[Marshall clears throat] – You still here? Party isn’t going to decorate itself. – Yeah, you’re very right. We should really get going. – Whatever you said to spencer, thank you. – You know I always got your back, girl. Go. – I bid you adieu, mr. Ashford. – And adieu to you too, mr. Cassidine. – Hi, josslyn. – Hi. I’m sorry, I thought that trina would be here. – That’s ok. It’s nice to see you. – It’s nice to see you. I brought cam’s favorite pretzels. – Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you. I’ll put it on the gift table. – I’m really sorry that I hurt cam. And I don’t blame you if you’re relieved that he’s getting far away from me. – Franco was heather’s son, which makes him your half-brother. – Wait, was? – He died. – Great. So one family member who would understand what I feel is gone. – Well, I think that he could still help you. Franco worked very hard to prove the haters wrong. He rebuilt his life here in port charles. I knu about him before I go. – You’re going somewhere? – Got into stanford. – And I was just starting to like you. – Well, there’s plenty of other people to like, esme. – Yeah, well, i haven’t met them yet. I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing for me here in port charles. – You have your son and a very generous support system. – Yeah. Well, spencer’s just trying to take my baby from me, and everyone in this town is team spencer. Well, except for my mother, who’s in an insane asylum. – Esme, if you skip town now, you really have no one. And how are you supposed to prove to everyone that you’re a changed person if you leave the first chance you get? – You have some valid points.

[Cell phone beeps] – Sorry, I um– I got a place to be. I got to go. Are you going to be ok? – You’ve been honest with me so far. You don’t have to act like you care. We’ll be fine. I promise. You can go. – I don’t understand. – This program should have revealed a set of coordinates. There’s no way these figures are right, which can only mean that either the decryption key or the diamond, itself, have been tampered. Now where exactly did you find this necklace? – The secure evidence locker. I bribed a police officer to let me in. – Now you said you thought that robert and laura might have been on to you. Is it possible they knew you were about to retrieve the necklace? – I don’t think so. I went right in immediately after the officer gave me access. And I– there wasn’t time to inform laura or robert or do anything with the necklace. – Don’t– don’t lie to me. – I wouldn’T. Never. What about the key? Are you sure your brother didn’t do something with the decryption key? – I suppose it is possible mikkos betrayed me. Yeah, perhaps the code was never meant to reveal the coordinates to anyone but mikkos. That selfish bastard, taking his secret to the grave. Damn it! – I don’t like the idea of not seeing each other every day. – Yeah? – So once we settle in with our children, I would like to know what’s next for us. – Well, what do you think that looks like? – You mean, after spending multiple days not getting out of that amazing bed of yours? – Is that– you know, it’s not very practical, is it? – Practicality is overrated. Is there something you’re not saying? – Well, it’s just ever since we decided to make a go of it, or get together, victor’s been in our way, right? So I’m just wondering if we are successful in putting him away, I think the future will look quite different. – Well, yeah. If victor’s no longer an issue, it’s going to be much better. – Well, yes, that’s easy to say now, but what about in a few months time? Maybe you’ll be itching for excitement or an adventure, you know? – Am I the danger freak? Look who’s talking, agent devane? – I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about you. – Any time you and I are together, whether we are cheating death, chasing whoever, or at the market looking for the perfect papaya– – I’m not a fan of papaya. – My point is this. You are my greatest adventure. You’re the only one I need.

I think she’d be back by now. I’m calling her. – After all these years, oh, no, I’ve come too far. Nope. No, no, no, no. I will not be denied again.

[Cell phone ringing] – The da’s office. I’m in the middle of a meeting. I already told you that I need more time before i can get back to the office. – Time’s up. You’re out now. – I’m sorry. I can’T. – Eileen– – what’s going on? – She’s about to blow up the whole operation. – I know cameron’s hurting. You meant a lot to him, but you guys can mean a lot to each other as friends. I’m pulling for that. – Me too. Me too. And– and I know how badly he wants this. And I’m so happy for him. But it’s really hard that he’s leaving and there’s already all this weird distance between us. – Well, I have faith the two of you will be able to see your way through it and remain friends. – Thank you. – You’re still here. – Oh, I just got off a call. Are you ready to commit to performing at the nurses’ ball? Everyone has a talent, hidden or otherwise. And I think I know where to place yours. – Well, I don’t know. – Ok. Well, think about it. You could be front and center at the most exciting event in port charles. You could go and meet someone. You could get married. Anything can happen at the nurses’ ball. – Oh, everything looks great in here. Hi. – Hi. – I brought some photos. – Ooh, I’ll show you where they go. – Ok. – Hey, spencer. – Hey. – You made it. – I made it. Did kevin mind having to pitch in and help with the baby? I should actually call him. – He got called back to work. Esme is taking care of ace. – You left my brother alone with esme? – Spencer, esme is perfectly capable of taking care of her own baby. And she’s a guest in our house. She’s not a prisoner.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Hello, eileen. – Welcome back to the safe house. – Is all this cloak and dagger still necessary? – Yes. – Yes. – See, I don’t think it is. I think it amuses you to torture me by having felicia scorpio put a bag over my head and transport me here like I’m– – like what? Like– like someone who would sell us out to victor if she knew our location. – I ‘t do that. – And we’re supposed to take your word on that? – Of course not. But you have all the leverage. So your best interests are my best interests. – And you know what? We would like to keep that imbalance of power in our favor for now. – Fine. Tell me what you want me to do and I’ll do it. You can at least rely on me for that. – Well, I hope so, because we can’t afford to make one single misstep. And neither can you. – Figure if you aren’t hungry, you can at least stay hydrated. – What is that? – It’s an organic herbal tea that’s meant to promote healthy lactation. – So you say. – Don’t worry, esme. Drugging people is kind of more of a you thing. – Spencer. – Good morning, grandmother. – I’d like it to be for everyone, including esme, so let’s not forget that esme is our guest. – How could I possibly forget? – Ok, look, I– I expected this to be a bumpy transition, but we want esme to feel welcome, don’t we? – Of course. Forgive me, esme. – I won’t stay anyplace where I feel unwanted or unwelcome. So wherever I go, ace goes.

[Knocking] – I’ll get that. Uncle victor, what brings you by? – Well, what else? I’ve come for my nephews. – Stop right there, young lady. – I thought the house was empty. – You mean you hoped it was empty. Why are you sneaking in here like this isn’t your home? – Because I’m not sure if it is.

[Soft music] – Hey, I was hoping i could still find you here. – Picking up my last paycheck. – Wow. End of an era, huh? – Yeah. So why were you looking for me? – Thanks for the update. Burner phone didn’t pan out. Britt couldn’t id the contractor from the warehouse. – So that’s it, dead end?

[Dramatic music] – Can you meet me at the pier, 55, in an hour? First rule of survival, in this business, you never give up.

they’re not gonna stop after the first attempt. You have to keep digging. – Do you think your family’s at risk? – I’m taking precautions. I don’t know. – Why not? – Because when it’s a hit like this, a hired gun, the only thing that matters is taking out the target. – I was thinking about our conversation yesterday. – About dropping the charges against esme? – No. About dex.

[Music playing] (Singing) can’t sleep. I can’t breathe on my own right now. – I know there’s a lot up in the air with curtis and your mama. But one thing I can say for sure, on behalf of them and myself, trina, you will always have a home with us. – Doesn’t feel much like home, does it? I mean, when I came in here, I half expected to find a tumbleweed.

[Laughs] – Yeah, it is looking mighty grim up in here. What with portia constantly working and curtis at the metro court, hell, to avoid the quiet, I’ve been staying out. – Out with ms. Epiphany? – Nah, epiphany, she’s– she’s still out of town. Remember, I told you that she had gotten accepted to a whole slew of medical schools out of state– johns hopkins. – Oh, my god. – He’s the front runner. – Oh, my god. That’s– that’s amazing! That’s really good for her. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is good for her. – So maryland isn’t that far, is it? – Uh, no, the fast train only takes 9 and 1/2 hours. – So airplane is out of question. – Lookm I could do that. But that– that’s really not what’s troubling me. Epiphany moving to baltimore or somewhere, everything that’s happening here, I don’t know where I fit in. – [Sighs]. I know the feeling. – Uncle victor, right now is not the best time. – You’re not welcome here. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. – Laura. Well, at least you’re giving me a choice in the matter this time. – I would prefer you leave on your own, but I can and I will have you physically removed by security. – No, that’s not necessary, grandmother. Please don’t do that. I will handle this. – My dear spencer, you of all people should know I’m not one to be handled.

[Infant cries] – That’s not what I meant, and I think that you know that. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to have a word with you out in the hallway, please. – Very well. Lead the way. – After you. I insist. – [Scoffs]

[Infant cries] – I’m sorry about that. I will do my best never to have him bother you again. – Ever? Sorry, I just get this really bad feeling every time victor cassadine’s around. – That’s because victor cassadine is a very bad man. – When I told you that esme and the baby were staying here, I did not expect you to just show up. – That child is a cassadine. He belongs with cassadines. I will go wherever I want, take what or whoever I want, and woe betide anyone who gets in my way. – Including me? – So you’re gonna call victor, and you’re going to set up a meet for today. – Tell him you have a very special delivery. I cannot stress this enough. This is the most critical juncture of our plan. – It is imperative that victor believes you are delivering the thing that he’s been looking for. – Something’s gone wrong, hasn’t it, some kind of setback. – Not that it’s any of your business, but we have had to widen our circle of trust. – Time is no longer on our side. We have to be sure of our allies. – Don’t worry. I won’t double cross you. – You’ve thrown in with my father before. How do we know you haven’t struck a deal with him already? – Because I value my own life. Victor has proven anyone is disposable, even his own son. I would be a fool to betray the only people willing to give me a chance to survive. – People have died protecting the information engraved in that piece of the ice princess. Now we’re giving victor what he wants. – So he thinks.

– It’s actually a very good forgery. – How very good? Because you know victor will have an expert authenticate this. – Well, that is why you have to set up the meet for today, so he doesn’t have a chance to call an expert in. – Hopefully, you will have left before the questions are raised. – How are you going to protect me? You know victor doesn’t like to meet in public spaces. – Right. We have taken every precaution. Da scorpio will be near the location ready with backup. – And if the operation goes south, the cavalry will ride in. But in order to offer you that protection, you need to be wired for sound. – Are you insane? First you send me in with a fake necklace, and now you want me to wear a wire? If victor catches on, he will kill me. – We need to know everything that’s happening in real time. – You want victor, keep that wire, or the deal is off. – It’s a damn shame your buddy cam is leaving. – I know. I’m really gonna miss him. – Yeah, seemed like a good kid, that one– loyal, reliable. – Unlike spencer. – Nobody said anything about spencer. – You didn’t say his name, but come on, I know how you all feel about him. – At this point, I’m not sure how I feel about spencer cassadine, apart from the fact that he seems to tie you up in knots. – Ok, well, maybe it’s best that we don’t talk about him. I’m just gonna go grab those photos and I’ll be on my way. I’m sorry for even bringing him up. – What’s on the tongue is on the mind. What’s troubling you? – Spencer is living with his ex-girlfriend again. – You, of all people, understand nuance and diplomacy. – Usually. – Well, this is a very complicated situation. There are many people involved, and they all want the same thing, to protect ace. – God, that name. – I know, it’s got to go. But despite our common goal, we all have different methods. – All right, so what’s your method? – Putting esme back in prison where she belongs and away from that baby. And then as next of kin, I will retain custody, and I would never dream of keeping that baby away from his great uncle. – A short time ago you asked for my help in this matter. Do you still need it? – I do, but we cannot talk about that here. – There we go. – You wanted coffee? I make a pretty good cup. – Are you sure? Spencer said it’s not good for breastfeeding mothers. – Oh, well, spencer means well, but he’s no expert. Coffee is fine in moderation. So go ahead and enjoy. – Mmm, not bad.

[Laughs] – Thank you. Esme, I hope you know that you’re protected here. – Even from spencer?

[Door opens] – Grandmother, esme, I am so sorry for my great uncle’s intrusion. That will not happen again. Hi. How you doing? So handsome. I’ll see you later, ok? – Where are you off to? – I’m gonna go pick up trina for cam’s party. – Oh, ok. – All right, so, see you later. You’ll be there, right? – Of course.

[Baby gurgling] – Um, cameron webber? – Yes, yes, my grandson has been accepted to a very prestigious athletic program in california. – Good to know I didn’t ruin his life too. – The person you used to be, esme, did an awful lot of damage. – Yeah, damage you can never forgive. – Congratulations on getting into stanford. – Thank you. How did you know? – Well, spencer told me, uh, more than once, he’s very proud of you. – He is. You know, it’s kind of hard to tell, because he makes fun of me every time it’s brought up. – Yeah, that’s how you know he’s very proud of you. So have a great time at stanford. You’re gonna be missed. – Thanks. Anyway, I don’t actually work here anymore. But if you want, I can take down your order and let the waiters know. – Two cups of coffee to go. – On it. – Can I talk to you for a second? You wait here.

[Soft music] – What’s this about?

[Dramatic music] – I’m just rooting out my enemies.

– Tell me you have what I asked for. – You know I wouldn’t dare let you down, victor. – I should hope not. Bring it to me tonight. – Well, the longer we wait, the better the chance they’ll notice it’s missing, and figure out I’m the one that took it. Unless you want it to end up back in the secure evidence locker with zero chance of getting it out again, we need to do this now.

[Knocking] – My suite, metro court, 45 minutes, not one second later, you got that? Spencer. Thank you. – Sorry about earlier, but I could not risk– – no, I understand. Now, I have a business meeting starting soon, so let’s get right down to brass tacks. What exactly do you want to happen to esme? – Which enemies? You have so many. – Just keep an eye out. Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary when you’re with your mother and your sisters. – Are you gonna tell me why? – I’m not gonna give you the details, no. – Oh. Don’t worry about it. I already know. – Yeah? How? – I’ll be out of here as soon as sonny’s done with joss. – Well, while you’re here, there’s some stuff I want to say to you. – The fact that I don’t remember what I did to your family doesn’t absolve me. I mean, I’ve hurt both cameron and spencer, among others, and– – yes, you did. – But you’re still letting me stay here? – I’m letting you stay here because I wanted my newest grandson to be safe and well cared for and not in a prison. Well, that’s– that’s not entirely true. There’s another reason. I know the pain of being separated from your child. I think I told you that I was separated from my son, nicholas, for many years, because of the cassadines. – Yeah, which is exactly what spencer is trying to do to me. – But spencer has a lot of good reasons to distrust you. Esme, I’m a mother, and I know how much having a new baby can change someone. I also happen to believe in redemption. – Well, does that mean that– do you believe in me? – I want to. I am trying to. – But you’re not there yet? – That doesn’t mean that I won’t be. What about you? Do you believe in me? Can you accept that i want what’s best for you? – So esme and the baby are living with spencer’s grandmother in her apartment, while spencer also lives there. – Whoa, I see. – I know esme doesn’t remember all the terrible things that she did, but I still don’t trust her. – Good for you. You shouldn’t trust her. Girl should be behind bars. I’m furious that they dropped the charges, too, and denied you justice. – Well, actually, it was my idea to get the da to stop pursuing the case, just for now. – What in the lord’s name possessed you to do that? – Oh, I’m having second thoughts about it now, even though I convinced spencer there’s a better chance of getting the charges to stick if we wait. – Spencer again. Right? Why does it seem that you’re the only one making concessions in this friendship? – Spencer’s been there for me too. – Has he? – He has. His life is just complicated. – Right. With no sign of it ever getting simpler. Trina, please, tell me. Why do you need to remain friends with spencer cassadine? – When you first asked for my help, you were concerned that esme was going to raise her child in prison. But that’s been resolved now. – Thanks to trina, we got the da to hold off on formally pursuing the case, yes. – Good for trina. Yeah, best to keep the law at bay, at least until you know they’re on your side. – The problem is now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Spencer, I have sacrificed a great deal, trying to make this world a better place and preserving our family’s legacy into the bargain. Sadly, your father had neither the faith nor the resolve to help me in my aims. Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir, not while there’s a breath left in my body.

[Dramatic music]

– Spencer is really worth it. – But is he worthy? Clearly, you– you brighten his day. That’s you. That’s what you do. – Thanks. I try. – [Chuckles] But how does he make you feel? – He makes me feel– he makes me feel like I’m the best thing that ever happened to him. – Oh. Is that so? Sounds like spencer has become a special friend. Is that why you’re so bugged out with he and esme sharing the same space? – It’s not that I don’t trust him around her. – Then what is it? – It was just strange, seeing them all together, looking like a family. – Well, I’d just say– stop me if I’m wrong here. But this sounds more– more like something else than friendly concern. – Well, spencer is more than just a friend. Our relationship has evolved over a couple of weeks. And I just haven’t told anybody about it. – And why not? – Everybody’s been busy or avoiding each other. – Perhaps. Or is it because you’re not quite sure of it yourself? – From the first time I remember seeing you– and definitely, the night you helped me deliver ace– you have been nothing but kind to me. But spencer is your grandson, and he doesn’t think I can raise my own son. – So you don’t know who to trust. – Even if I could trust someone, why would they trust me? – Ok, so you need someone to take the first leap of faith. I’m willing to do that. Yeah. Let’s start right now. Ok, so everything here is all new to you. You’ve got to take a little time to adjust to your surroundings. So I’ll go out for a bit, and you can stay at home here on your own and just relax and bond with ace. – Uh, by myself, with– with no one looking over my shoulder? – Yes. Unless you’re worried about being alone with the baby. – Oh, no, no. I’m just surprised you trust me on my own. – You’re not a prisoner here. – Yeah, well, maybe this time. – All right, look. In case of emergency. – You know I could just take this and take off, right? – You could. But since you want what’s best for your baby, I have faith that you know that means staying right here. So you have a lovely morning. – I’ll take the necklace to victor. But the wire is a no-go. – We were afraid you might feel that way. – Well, do you have a backup plan, one that doesn’t involve me wearing a neon sign that says, victor, I’m betraying you? – If you won’t wear a wire, we won’t know you’re in trouble. But we have arranged for da scorpio to call you on official city business. – Yes, so if anything feels off, you raise the alarm, and he will come in and get you. – Ok. All right.

[Sighs] Fine. But I want you to promise your guarantee that once I deliver this necklace, I will be free to move on. – Well, this isn’t over until we crack the code and find out what it’s for. – Look, until we know what victor is after, honestly, eileen, none of us are free. – [Sighs] – After I found out about you and josslyn, there’s a lot of things I wanted to say to you, a lot of things i wanted to do to you. – I get it. – What I realized is that despite all my anger, all my feelings, all of that that doesn’t matter, because what matters is josslyn. She’s been my friend since forever. She still is. So if you hurt her, I will tell sonny about you too. And you’ll find your back on that road so fast, you’ll wish you would never have met her. – Josslyn, how do you know someone’s targeting you? – My mom told me that there was an incident– one big enough for you to beef up the security and keep donna from spending the night. – Temporarily. – I know the drill. Ok? And donna and avery are young, yes. But they’re starting to get used to it, too, and they think that this life is normal. And I just wish that that broke your heart even half as much as it breaks mine.

– Ok. – Ok? – You have made yourself clear. – Oh, you don’t think I’m serious. – No, I know you’re serious. I promise I will never hurt josslyn. – Good. See to it that you don’T. – I mean it. You have no idea how much I care about her. – Dex, time to roll. – Yes, sir. Thank you. – Oh, mr. Corinthos, please, no. I got it. – Thank you. I appreciate that. – Of course. – Good luck at stanford. – Thank you. So what did you and sonny talk about? – Oh, the usual. How his business affects the rest of us. And how about you and dex? – We talked. – I’m sorry. That was awkward. – Awkward’s kind of been our mo nowadays.

[Chuckles] – Yeah. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Listen, if you don’t want me at your goodbye party, I completely understand. – I want all my friends there. You are my friend, right? – Yeah. Sorry, it’s just, it’s really nice to hear you call me that. – What else would I call you? – Cam, we’ve been friends forever. And that’s not going to change just because of my feelings for dex. – So you guys are pretty serious now, huh? – Well, I mean, I could never be with someone so soon after our breakup if it was meaningless. – Right. I’ll see you later, joss. – If the da doesn’t have enough proof to convict esme, then we’ll just have to produce it. – You mean, frame her? – We both know she’s guilty. If your father hadn’t imprisoned her, she would never have lost her memory. But evidence can be– – manufactured. – Well, bottom line is esme’s going to have to face the music. And ace will be in the custody of those who care for him best– you, me– – grandmother? Do you mind if i get back to you? – Of course. You take all the time you need. But as you said, esme is a free woman and could decide to just take off at any time, taking with her your innocent and defenseless little brother. – What do you think, ace? She sounded pretty sincere, didn’t she? No? Here, we have food, warmth, and relative freedom. What more can we ask for? Yeah? Not that we really have any other offers, do we? You’re right. What is stopping them from just keeping you and tossing me out on the street? Yeah. What is it? What’s stopping them? I won’t let that happen.

[Baby cooing] – I trust spencer, and I trust the connection. But all of this is just new. And let’s just say some of my views are evolving. I guess that’s part of growing up. – Well, that never stops. Learning who we are, that’s a lifelong process. I don’t have to tell you, there are circumstances in life that will arise to make us question everything we thought about ourselves. You got to have good people in your corner to support you along the way. That’s all. Friends are great. Family is better. – But what if you don’t know who your family is? – Dna doesn’t determine family. Connection does.

[Chuckles] – Eileen has a lot to lose here. Yeah, I don’t think she ever had any real loyalty to victor. I think she’s always been in it for herself. I think that she will follow your instructions to the letter. – She’d better. Because if she screws up or turns on us, this is over. – You don’t sound confident. – All I’m saying is, we can’t let our guard down. Not where victor cassadine’s concerned. – Have you done as I asked? – I’m a woman of my word, victor. – Well, where is it? – As promised.

[Sispenseful music] – At last. – You summoned me? – Somebody tried to take me out. I thought that’s news to you. – I heard of your recent trouble. – You have any idea who’s behind it? – If only. An unprovoked attack is an unforgivable breach of decorum and a threat to us all. Any leads? – Whatever’s left of them. You recognize him? – A hit man, I presume? Not that I can say. What do you want to know about it? – Ok, if you don’t know, then somebody in your organization must know. And I heard he was spotted at the highsider last time I checked, that’s your bar, right? – I do own it. But I’m afraid i can’t help you. – Can’t? Or won’t?

rely an investment, one of the establishments I own a stake in. I don’t keep tabs on the customers. As a businessman, surely, you understand. – I’m disappointed. That’s the second time you’ve let me down in a couple of weeks. – But I don’t understand. – Ok, you bought my late cousin brando’s garage, am I right? – It was a good investment. And brando’s mother was eager to sell. – Right. She told me. What I want to know is, why didn’t you? – You’re absolutely right. In fact, I should have let you know I was considering it before negotiating with ms. Corbin. Please, accept my apologies. – Let me tell you something, selina. You mess with my family, you mess with me. – Of course. All of that said, i hope you are pleased. The garage can be beneficial for us both. – The garage is the least of my concerns. – Yes. The shooter’s connection to the highside is of concern to me as well. My people never do business there. Regardless, I’m sure someone must know the man in the photo. I’ll make inquiries. – You do that. Sonny? I hope you know how much I value our association. Rest assured, this enemy is one we share.

[Dramatic music] – Can she really be trusted? – You’re not nervous, are you, darling? – What? Yes, of course I’m nervous. Lucy just nearly got herself killed, and now, we’re sending eileen back into that same lion’s den, at greater risk, with just as little protection. – Well, look on the bright side. Nobody likes the woman. – That’s very unkind. – Anna, we are this close to figuring out the insanity that my father has been cooking up and ending it. And if anyone can finish the job, it’s us. – You know what they say– that most car accidents happen within a 10-mile radius of your home. We’re very close to home. Aren’t we? – Well, then i guess, buckle up. – You did well, eileen. – Oh, I’m so glad you’re pleased. – How did you manage it? – You don’t ask a magician her tricks. – Mm-hmm. Oh, wait, where are you– where are you going? – My office! I have a day’s work ahead. – Oh, nonsense. You can’t leave now. Not when we’re about to get to the most important part. – What’s more important than procuring a necklace from police lockup? I got it. You have it. – I want us to inspect this masterpiece together. Come on. Take a seat.

[Suspenseful music] – I know you’re not sure where you stand with your mom and curtis. But whatever happens you, and I, trina, we have forged our own relationship. I’m here. If you need to talk about anything– – even if I want to talk about spencer? – I said, anything. – Ok. – And whatever you say is going to stay between you and me. And I promise, I will always be honest with you. – Thanks. I appreciate that. – And in my honest opinion, if spencer cassadine’s life is going to remain so damn dramatic, maybe it’s time for you to exit stage left. – (Laughing) stop it.

[Doorbell rings] – (Laughing) oh, what is this? – Josslyn? Hi. – Hi. Um, you just missed cam. – Uh, ok. Well, I guess I’ll see him at his party. How about you? How are you doing? – Oh, you know. I’m having a lot of trouble about cam leaving. – Yes. Well, I’m going to miss him, too, but I’m also really proud of him. – I know. So am I. I mean, to play soccer at stanford– it’s huge, and it’s about time one of his dreams came true. – You were his first love. – And I broke his heart. – Aw. – What if he never forgives me? I mean, he says that we’re friends forever, but– – sweetheart, he’s hurt right now, and he feels alone. – Because of me. – Josslyn, you did what you had to do. You did. And cameron has to accept that, no matter how painful it is. He’s just going to need a little time. He’ll remember who really cares about him. – Grandmother, the mayor, may be on the up and up. But I’m not willing to wait around and find out.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Elizabeth: What if I get fired? What if this is the end of my time here at general hospital? Oh, she’s here. Ah. Hi. My part is finished. They’re making their decision now. How long is it gonna take? Is a quick decision good or bad? I wish I knew. What i do know is that you’re an excellent nurse, and I made that clear to the board.

[ Cellphone dings ] Oh. A little fire to put out here. I’ll be right back. Finn: Okay. This is so bizarre. Half of me wants this to be over with, and the other part wants it to drag on forever. Because what if these are my last minutes on staff? Either way, I just — I need to face it and deal with it. And you will. Look, I — I know how important your independence is to you. And if you need to face this on your own, I understand. I-I could step out. My life may be about to change forever. There’s no one else I’d rather be by my side.

[ Footsteps approaching ] I, uh, just got a notification. They’ve reached their decision. Oh, god. Here we go. Nurse baldwin. After careful consideration, the committee has decided… not to take any disciplinary action against you. I have your car keys. You called finn. I know that you’re upset. After I specifically asked you not to discuss what’s happening in my life with finn or chase. How can I explain what’s happening in your life if i don’t know what’s happening in your life? Because you won’t tell me. I’m worried about you. Worried. About what? You just said you don’t know anything. So let’s just leave it that way. I can’T. You’re my friend. I care about you, whether you like it or not. I am getting a whole-new education on the backstage elements of the nurses’ ball. You guys would not believe how important it is to have the right lighting package. Fortunately, the lighting designer that lucy has always used is available, but he is not cheap. Thankfully, the nurses’ ball is fully funded, so all the proceeds can go to hiv/aids research. I’m so glad deception is able to donate $300,000 and match all the customers’ donations. Wow. That’s a lot of money. Lucy will be so excited. God rest her soul. Sasha. Does kelly’s make biscotti? Not that I know of, but the cupcakes are spectacular. Hm. Oh! Uh, you know my mother-in-law, gladys. Sure do. Yeah, we met at the savoy. Isn’t that right, gladys? What were you doing at the savoy? Well, go ahead, gladys. You want to tell them or should I?

[ Elevator whirring ] Portia: Is there hope for us, curtis? I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Is it? Curtis. Just tell me if our love for one another is strong enough to get us through this. Not that long ago, you were the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And now that trust is broken. And I don’t think our love can fix that.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Telephone rings ] Marshall, hi. What are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I’m just coming back from my follow-up with dr. Samuels. I know we haven’t had a chance to chat at the house, but I’ve — I’ve really been wondering. How did it go? Didn’t curtis tell you? Well, curtis said to me he would tell me if he could, but the information is private. I think that says it all, doesn’t it? Scotch. Neat. Curtis. Hey. Uh, you don’t have to worry. This is my first drink. I can promise you it won’t be my last. Might get ugly, so… you might want to get while the getting’s good.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll have what he’s having. Trina. Hi. I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if the baby settled in okay. Come in. Things didn’t go exactly the way that I hoped that they would. We love our new room, don’t we, ace? Yeah? Who’s that? Esme’s here?

[ Ace cooing ] Um, we live here now, thanks to ace’s grandmother. Isn’t that right, ace? Just one big, happy family.

[ Ace crying ] Oh, I know. Why you fussin’? Why you fussin’?

Trina, it’s so nice to see you, sweetie. I’m sorry just to show up. Oh. Are you kidding me? You’re always welcome here. I didn’t want to disturb the baby. I-I really didn’t realize. This is a very recent development. We all agreed that, uh, it would be best if esme and ace stayed with us. The alternative would be to get esme a place above kelly’s, but that’s no place for a baby, so… yeah, so, um, mommy came up with a compromise. It seemed like a good idea. So are you — are you going back to your uncle sonny’s place or…? Spencer: No, grandmother has been very generous to let me stay here. That way, I can be right down the hall if my little brother needs me. So…why are you here? And not at your own nightclub? Drinks are free there, you know. Too many things to bother me at my nightclub. And tonight, I don’t want to be bothered. I will have another scotch, though. Go ahead. I know you want to ask me what’s wrong.

[ Chuckles ] I figure if you want to tell me, you will. And if not, well… it’s good scotch. You always did love a fine highland malt. You remember. Hm. Cop’s curse. I remember everything. I ran into trina tonight. And I’m guessing by your bar tab, things went badly? Actually, it was the opposite. Great. Trina’s a good kid. Trina’s the best. But she still doesn’t want to take a dna test. I gotta say, there was a — there was a moment there that I thought we could really have a relationship. There’s just one big “if.” If it turns out she’s your daughter? Well, it sounds like you made a nice start. Yeah, it was. Until her mom walked in. I hate that there’s still so much distance between you and curtis. And I know that this is my fault. But curtis has such little trust in me that he wouldn’t want to share your latest medical evaluation? It’S…

[ Sighs ] I just hope the information you got from dr. Samuels was good. Wait. Wait. Don’t go. Is there someplace we can talk? Listen, I don’t want you to feel obligated to keep me in the loop on this. I really don’T. No, no, no. This isn’t obligation. This is gratitude. You’re the one. You. You’re the one who first suggested I might have been misdiagnosed 40 years ago. It seems to me you should know what the specialist said. We could go to the break room. Gladys: It’s still a free country, isn’t it? Can’t I stop in a club without it becoming town gossip? Hey. Don’t be upset, gladys. It’s just not like you to go to the savoy by yourself. Ohh. I think I know why gladys was there. Same reason I was there. It was ladies’ night. Ha! You got me! Ha! Uh… if you were really my friend, you’d stop prying into my personal and professional lives. Gregory, if I didn’t pry into your personal and professional life, I wouldn’t know that you’ve been lying to me for months. If I didn’t speak to the dean, I wouldn’t know that you didn’t work there anymore. Which wasn’t your place. And you have absolutely no business reaching out to finn to dig up information on me. I — I — if I hadn’t been with finn when you called, you were gonna tell my son everything, weren’t you? Tell him everything? I don’t know anything.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what’s going on with you. I’m just trying to help. I don’t want any help. Is that clear enough for you? The committee has determined that you cooperated with nikolas cassadine in the service of providing medical care to a pregnant woman. We believe you had reason to assume involving the authorities would cause mr. Cassadine to run off with ms. Prince or, worse, cause her harm. Dr. Finn and dr. Randolph convinced us that you may have saved her and her baby’s life. As such, no further action will be taken against you. Thank you. You have an outstanding record and many supporters, nurse baldwin. It was clear to the committee that you’re an asset to the hospital. Good luck to you. Thank you. If you’ll excuse me, I do have to speak to the committee on another matter.

[ Both laugh ]

I know you think that I overstepped. Oh. [ Scoffs ] You did. Look, I am not the one with a drinking problem, so in the future, please save your sympathies for the people in your meetings. Gregory, wait. I jumped to the conclusion that you had a drinking problem because you appeared drunk at 11:00 A.M., And then you were belligerent, and then you lied to me about really, really important stuff for a long time. You lost your job and lied about it. What am i supposed to think? I was wrong. You’re not a journalist. You’re more like a cop who pulled me over. What’s next? A-a breathalyzer? Well, you tell me. Would you pass or fail? Thank you for staying by my side through this awful ordeal. Any time. Hey. Hey. The committee was influenced by what you had to say, finn. Your words had a lot of impact. Oh, it wasn’t just me. It was — it was you and portia and mayor collins. I mean, it was a lot of people willing to vouch for nurse baldwin’s commitment to this hospital and nursing. And epiphany. Yeah. Fortunately, the committee didn’t need to hear directly from your supervisor, since she’s out of town. And there are several testimonials from epiphany already in your file. Her support for you is well-known around here.

[ Chuckles ] So, nurse baldwin, no excuses. I expect to see you here in uniform first thing tomorrow for your next shift.

[ Laughs ]

[ Both sigh ] Hey, you want to — you want to call the boys, give them the good news? No, I want to tell them face-to-face when I get home. Alright. Yeah. This is my home, too. And I almost lost it. Glad it didn’t come to that. Hated the thought of doing rounds without knowing you were here to have my back. Oh, well, you’ve managed without me in the past. That was before I knew what I was missing. Yeah, gladys was there for the good music and the dancing. And I was there because, well, whenever there’s a ladies’ night, there’s bound to be a few unattached ladies. Well, don’t leave us hanging. Did you get lucky? Uh, well, you know how it is. Luck comes and goes. Isn’t that right, gladys?

[ Coughing ] Are you okay?

[ Strained ] Went down the wrong pipe. Be careful. Maxie: You know what? I’m glad that you’re here. I have a question for you that will change your life. Come on. Come with me. O-okay. I’m g-gonna settle up and go. Ha! Hey. Gladys. I know that cody upset you. And I know why. Look. You don’t have to worry. I tried drowning my sorrows in a bottle on my wedding night. It didn’t work. Tonight I’m just blowing off some steam. Well, I am probably not the best person for you to be talking to about this. If I hadn’t opened up to stella, trina may have never confronted portia. You weren’t trying to sabotage my wedding. You know me, and you know that I don’t like the kind of lies that — the kind that blew up our marriage? You don’t, right? I don’t want the same thing to happen to you and portia. I believe you. I’m just afraid it’s too late to do anything about it now. As long as you meant the vows you said when you married portia, there is something you can do. Which is? Do what you couldn’t do with me. Forgive her. I hope you know how lucky you are to have someone like laura looking after you and your baby. I did have my doubts when spencer suggested that I move in above kelly’s while ace stayed here. I mean, I won’t be separated from my son. And I never wanted that. And I did have a hard time believing that part. I wondered if your loyalty wasn’t to nikolas and spencer. When I suggested that both ace and I stay here, you were so kind and, you know, quick to say yes that it really reassured me. We all want what’s best for ace, don’t we, spencer? It is the only thing that matters. Trina: Then I hope it all works out for y’all. I have to go. I’ll walk you out. It’s, um, past ace’s bedtime. Oh. Come on. I’ll help you put him down. No need to walk me to my car. I know you probably want to get back inside. Trina, I am so sorry. I did not mean to spring this on you. You don’t owe me an explanation. I just want you to understand that I’m only going along with this for ace. Spencer, I-I get it. I really do. And in this way, you and esme get to raise him together. That is the last thing that I want. But if esme and the baby had not moved in here, then I would have lost my brother for good.

A necessary evil. You know that esme has the law on her side and that she has the power to keep my brother away from me. Moving her into your grandmother’s house was the only way to keep him close. Yes. I understand. Um, that song you sang to ace, it was so pretty. Laura: Ohh. Thanks.

[ Chuckles ] It’s the same lullaby I used to sing to my children. Somehow I can’t picture heather or ryan singing to me. Even if they had the chance. Well, you know, fortunately, your biological parents didn’t raise you. Honey, I’m sorry that you don’t have more happy childhood memories. But you know what? It’s not too late to make sure that your son will. In other words, you’re counting on esme to be someone completely new, a totally different girl from the one who’s tried to do her crazy father’s bidding and hurt as many people as possible. She has no memory of that time, at all. She doesn’t seem to. I mean, when I went to visit esme in spring ridge, I didn’t get a feeling that she was putting on an act. But just because she doesn’t remember doesn’t automatically make her a good person. What if the new esme is — is even worse than the old one? If I forgive portia, what does that make me? A loving husband? No. It makes me a hypocrite. Jordan, our marriage ended because of lies that you had been telling me for barely a year. Oh. So — so how are you okay with portia’s even bigger lie for 20 years? You’re forgetting something. It wasn’t my choice to end our marriage. And dr. Samuels is sure you don’t have any of the markers for the disease? Not a single one. Of course, it doesn’t prove I don’t have schizophrenia, but according to the doctor… well, the odds are less likely because you don’t have any of the genetic markers. Exactly. And it also explains why, after your original diagnosis, you never experienced another episode. I can’t say I’m not relieved. Look, after walking around for 40 years being afraid of a ticking time bomb in my head… but I don’t even know what I have or if there was ever even anything wrong with me at all. Which makes you feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark. Sound like you know the feeling. I just hope it hasn’t made you doubt me. Because I couldn’t love you more if you were my own daughter. Gladys. I love you, too. And I know that you’re grieving brando as much as I am. I just hate to think of you going out alone when we could be together. So let’s make the nurses’ ball our coming-out party. We’ll get really glammed up and wow everyone on the red carpet.

[ Laughs ] Oh, well, you’re gonna have to wow them without me. I’ve seen the fancy gowns everybody wears. I don’t have anything like that. Well, that’s the perfect excuse to buy you one. With what? My money. What’s the point of having it if I can’t share it with you? Hello?! Cody! Woman right here giving you a great idea. Mm-hmm. Are you even listening to me? Yeah. No, no, no. You want me to, what, ride in on a horse for the nurses’ ball? Do some rope tricks or what? When I said I needed a cowboy, I meant to dance with the others. Mm-hmm. What — what others? Magic milo and the magic wands. Come on! It’ll be fun! There’s great music. You guys get to do this choreographed dance. All the women in the audience are screaming for you. And your costume is…simple! You get the shirt that you get to wear for, like, a minute, and then you have these breakaway pants. Breakaway — so this is a strip show. You want me to take off all my clothes? Of course not!

[ Chuckles ] You get to keep your boots on. I’m gonna say this one more time. I don’t have a drinking problem. Yes, I stumbled at the metro court. Everyone stumbles now and then. Probably even you. And you claim I was slurring my words. But have you thought maybe — maybe it’s just a case of confirmation bias on your part? Because you decided I was drunk, so you saw and heard exactly what you expected. What you didn’t see was me pouring vodka into that glass of orange juice. Just because no one saw you doesn’t — ohh! Have you ever — ever — seen me over my limit or out of control? In all the time we’ve been together, have I ever been drunk in your company? No. No. Will you please explain to me why you got fired from your job? Ah! I… I wasn’t fired. I quit! Why would you do that?! That doesn’t make any sense. You love to teach, you love journalism, and yet you walked away from both. I can see that something is really wrong here. Will you please let me help you? Alexis… I’m sick.

I’m sorry. You’re sick. Okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Would you tell me — am I allowed to ask what’s wrong? No, no. I have already told you more than I intended. Or do you want to see my medical chart now? No, I — no, no, no.

[ Exhales deeply ] As long as you have someone to help you. You’ve got finn. He’ll get you the best hospital care or whatever care you need. Finn doesn’t know. You didn’t tell your son? No. No. And it’s going to stay that way. That doesn’t make any sense. He’s one of the best doctors in the country. Why — why wouldn’t you tell him? Do you really want to help me? I really do. There’s one thing you can do for me. You name it. Give me back my car keys.

[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hey, look who just got dropped off. Hi, baby girl. Hi, aunt elizabeth. We’re just going to beradino’s for spaghetti and meatballs. Want to come? Now I know what you’re thinking. This will be cheesy and embarrassing, and we’re exploiting men. But it’s — it’s not like that at all. It’s good, clean fun, and everybody loves it. You’d be shaking your booty for a fabulous cause. For you, maxie, yeah, I’ll do it. That’s it? I had a whole list of excellent reasons.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, it’s no worries, you know? I’ve been a body double on location shoots out west before. I even shot a whole scene, uh, naked on horseback. It was me, not the horse. The horse still had a saddle on. Okay. You’re still amazing. Thank you so much.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. You’re so sweet. But I-I-i wouldn’t feel right using your money on myself. Actually… I have been doing some research. Traditionally, the guardian of a conservatorship gets paid a court-approved salary. You have been managing my finances this whole time for free. It’s only fair that you get paid for all your hard work. That’s nice of you.

[ Chuckles ] I know how hard you have been trying to honor brando’s memory. He would want me to do this. Alright, who’s ready for some great news? Mine first. Maxie, we’ve got some high-end shopping to do. Guess who’s gonna be the belle of the nurses’ ball? Mm. I’m fine.

[ Sighs ] But this is about you right now. And I’m sure dr. Samuels explained to you that they would be weaning you off of your medication and monitoring you in case you had any unusual reactions. And if I don’t have any more episodes, blah, blah, blah. What does that mean? Were they just careless 40 years ago when they diagnosed me? Did they — they just call it schizophrenia — schizophrenia — when I might have had something else? Dr. Samuels is the expert in this field. I’m not. No. No. But you, you’re family. And I trust what you tell me. I appreciate that. What I can say to you is that the understanding of disorders like schizophrenia has evolved greatly over the past four decades. But I don’t want to second guess your original doctors or hypothesize a theory until we know more. Seems to me you already know more than what you’re saying. Haven’t we learned keeping things to yourself does more harm than good? If you didn’t want our marriage to end, then why didn’t you fight harder for it? I fought as hard as I could. But in the end, your happiness meant more to me than my own. Because…

[ Sighs ] Because what?

[ Exhales deeply ] Because I pushed you away. I was furious at the secrets you’d kept.

[ Sighs ] But what if… what if I wasn’t so quick to judge you? What if I had handled things differently? Would we still be together? We would. That’s another reason why it’s a good thing for esme to stay here with the baby. If she starts to show her true colors, I’ll be the first to know. I hope. I mean, she fooled you in the beginning.

[ Chuckles wryly ] That was a long time ago, before I knew you. What does that mean? It’s like imitation vanilla or something. Imitation anything, really. You know, that buttery stuff that they put on your popcorn? Imitation crab on your california roll. Did you just compare me to a california roll?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] No, I just mean that it’s — it’s easy to settle for an imitation of something. But everything that esme gave me, or pretended to give me throughout our relationship — support, understanding, connection — it was all fake, and I bought it, and I believed in it till I experienced the real thing, and you showed me real support, real understanding, and a true connection. You gave me something that esme could never give me — honesty. And I may not always like what you have to say to me… but I never question that what you’re telling me is the truth. I want to do everything right for my son. I mean, give him all the things that — that I never had, but… heather, um, my mother, she… warned me not to trust spencer or you. Esme, sweetheart, your mom isn’t someone you should be taking advice from.

[ Ace cries ] I’m sorry. Oh, look at that. He didn’t stay asleep long, did he? Yeah. I’ll get him. It’s okay, sweetie. You take a minute. Oh, the baby’s crying. You should go. I’m sure that he has all the help he needs. So do you. Do I? You know you do.

this sweet little boy just missed his mommy, I think.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you? Come here, angel. Look. Here she is. I know.

[ Chuckles ] Hello. You should be sleeping, right? [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Oh, I, um, don’t know what’s keeping your brother. Aww.

[ Ace babbles ] You know, I’ll go warm up a bottle, hon. Oh, thank you. What’s that?

[ Door opens ] Trina, um… I thought you left. There’s no point in reliving this all again. The past is the past. But we’re still here. And drinking, which always makes people sentimental. You know good and well it ain’t the booze.

[ Sighs ] It’s been a long time since we’ve talked like this. Yeah, too long. Thank you for your concern, but I think I have burned all my bridges. In fact, I’ve even torched them. You and curtis need to build new ones. I think we were talking about you, weren’t we? Now, if you really want answers, I think you should contact the original medical team that diagnosed you way back then. If any of them are still around. Yeah. It’s like you said. If a bridge is burned, build another one. Hm. Thank you.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] This is so exciting. Gladys and I are walking the red carpet together.

[ Chuckles ] Sasha insists on buying me a fancy dress. How lucky am i to have such a generous daughter-in-law? Hm. Yeah, you’re lucky alright. Actually, we’re all lucky here, because cody has decided to join magic milo and the magic wands and bare almost everything for charity. Really? Eh, it’s for a good cause, you know? Exactly. And now that my work here is done, come on, gladys, let’s figure out something for you to wear. I need to know what you’re thinking so we can figure out designers. You really made maxie’s day. Ah, well, same as you did for gladys. So things are okay with you two now? Gladys has been struggling with her grief. So have I. That doesn’t always make for the best communication, but we’re working through it. In fact, our conversation today was so good that I decided to start paying her a salary. You really think that’s a good idea? Why not? I as ked you to leave my keys –which, by the way, you had no right to confiscate — with the concierge. But once again, you decided you know best. I took your car keys because I care about you. I do.

[ Breathes shakily ] Alexis, I — I wish… gregory. Listen to me. Whatever this is, you don’t have to go through it alone. And I promise, I promise you, you can trust me. Whatever you say to me will not leave this room. I promise.

What you said about it never leaving this room…

[ Keys rattle ] I hope you meant it.

[ Sighs heavily ] Spaghetti and meatballs? My favorite. How could I say no? Can jake and aiden come, too? Sure. Sure. What about — what about cameron? He’s still sad about josslyn. Oh. Hmm. Well, hey, maybe a night out would cheer him up. Okay. He can come, too. All my favorite people. That’s what I call a celebration. You ready? Let’s go. If you think you can trust gladys, then who am i to tell you otherwise? There’s a “but” in there somewhere. And I don’t just mean the one you’ll be showing off at the nurses’ ball.

[ Both chuckle ] All I’m saying is… if you’re gonna put gladys on the payroll, trust but verify. The thing about cody is, the more I know him, the better I like him. Yes, I am grateful he agreed to be a magic wand with minimum fuss. And, yes, cody has his flaws. But everyone does. I don’t know, maybe it’s because he doesn’t pretend otherwise. He’s got that whole “broke cowboy with a sweet side” thing.

[ Both laughing ] I see a lot to like in him. I think sasha would understand what I mean. Do you think there’s something going on there?

[ Scoffs ] I hope not. Why? Don’t you like cody?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Terry. Terry, hey. Did the, um, committee make a decision about elizabeth yet? She’s been reinstated.

[ Gasps ] What a relief. Oh, that’s so wonderful. I know she must be so happy. It’s about time we had some good news around here, right? Stella. I know you’ve been avoiding me… since the wedding. Look, look, I need a favor. Do — do you still have all of irene’s papers? Well, are my medical records among them? Officer: Commissioner, your car is outside. Well. I think I about reached my limit. Me, too. Scotch is a lot stronger than I remembered. Good thing I have a driver waiting. A very good thing. I’ll be right out. No, no. It’s on me. Thank you. Well… have a good night.

[ Exhales sharply ] Um, spencer and i were just — trina was just telling me how pcu has a daycare in case I want to take classes during the summer. Oh. Um, I mean, that’s very kind of her. But you won’t need to take care of ace. I’m perfectly capable of caring for my son. Isn’t that right, ace? Mommy’s gonna take care of you. Thank you for stopping by. Good night. Night.

Recap written by Eva

Elizabeth waits anxiously for the decision from the ethics committee of the hospital as to whether or not she can keep her job.

Curtis advises Trina nor to let the fact that her mother kept a secret from her affect her relationship with her mother. Portia suggests to Curtis that they go to marriage counseling to work on fixing their marriage. Curtis tells Portia that he doesn’t know if their marriage can be fixed because he doesn’t trust her anymore.

Brook Lynn and Chase almost get back together but Chase gets angry with Brook Lynn again when she tells him that she signed a non-disclosure agreement with Linc that prevents her from talking about the sexual harassment she went through while Linc was her manager. Brook Lynn tells Chase she did it so he could go back to being a cop and he wouldn’t have to continue singing to get enough evidence to put Linc in jail. Chase thinks Brook Lynn only wanted to get the rights to her songs back, and she wasn’t doing it to help him. Chase tells Brook Lynn that if she really signed the agreement to help him, she would have told him about the agreement after she signed it instead of lying to him and telling him she agreed to write commercial jingles for Linc. Chase thinks Brook Lynn didn’t tell him that truth right away because she knew what she was doing, was wrong and he would be angry with her about it.

Gregory is angry with Alexis because she called Finn when he told her he didn’t want Finn or Chase to know what is going on with his life.

Esme and baby Ace move in with Laura after she turns down Spencer’s offer to pay for her to live in the room above Kelly’s while Ace live with Laura since the room isn’t big enough for her and the baby to live there together. Esme moves into Laura’s house with baby Ace.
