Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

carly: The pool’s closed.

Do you wanna touch, do you wanna touch me?

Do you wanna touch, do you wanna touch me? I know. I was hoping the owner could bend the rules for me. Hey. Everything all right? Yeah, just business. You know, um, it wasn’t anything urgent. Thanks for waiting. Mm-hmm. Well, I think it would have been rude, not to mention immature, if I’d just walked away in a huff.

[ Chuckles ] But you were tempted? Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah. Because, sonny, there’s a — you know, there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to hear you answer my question about that kiss that you gave me. But then there’s another part of me that’s even bigger that really needs to know, because…it means something to me. Did you kiss me because you got into a fight with your ex-wife? You’ve been here before? I have never had the pleasure, no. You? No. The only drive-in theaters I’ve ever seen have been in movies that I’ve watched indoors. Well, you wanted me to surprise you, so… you succeeded.

[ Thrilling music playing

on screen ] What? You’re kind of like this movie. Old?

[ Laughs ] Or notorious? No, you seem to be black-and-white. But in reality, you are a complex dance of shadows. Now, I got that out of a book on hitchcock.

[ Chatter on screen ] I like it. Makes me sound classic yet timeless. Oh, this is the part where ingrid bergman realizes that she’s been poisoned. The good old days, huh? Ah. Only we could get nostalgic about someone being drugged in an undercover operation. I think it’s part of our charm, darling.

[ Man grunts ] We gotta get out of here before the cops check our id.

[ Sighs ]

[ Loud rock music playing ]

[ Police radio chatter ] Okay. This is our chance. Let’s go. Trina? Josslyn? What are you doing here? Why did you call me back here? There’s a problem with the game. Double vodka on the rocks. Be with you in a moment. Hey! Going somewhere? Judge abbott canceled at the last minute, so I… let another player buy in. Without vetting him first?

[ Sighs ] Put it on my tab. Hi. I was here earlier, and I just realized I can’t find my phone. Did anyone turn it in? Hmm. I’ll check. Hey, I hope she finds your phone. I mean, I hate to see a lady in distress. When I saw the guy’s bankroll, I figured he’d be okay. H-he knew the password. Just spit it out, bradley. What happened?

when I kissed you,I wasn’t thinking about carly. But you did fight with carly earlier, didn’t you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And carly and michael think that I-I’ve turned my back on my family. Well, that’s ridiculous. I know your family is everything to you. Right, and when I went on the stand, it wasn’t against michael. I was just there to tell the truth. Yeah, and you were gracious enough to forgive me, and you don’t hold me responsible anymore for keeping your identity a secret. But the thing is, I still believe and I always believed that wiley needs to have you in his life. Thank you. And carly considers that a betrayal. Well, that’s — that’s half of it. Carly’S… in carly’s mind, the biggest betrayal was when baldwin was going after michael, I stood by you. I have to be honest. When you did that, sonny, I was surprised, too. I just needed a quick swim. It was a crazy day at aurora, nuts, and I didn’t get a chance to work out, so… how quick? Oh, it was only a mile. Oh, is that all? Navy seal. Oh, geez.

[ Both laugh ] I hope you don’t feel taken advantage of. You’re not gonna revoke my membership, are you? Oh, not at all. You are exactly the distraction I needed after the day I’ve had.

[ Sighs ] Bad? Beyond. Frustrating. Heartbreaking. Deeply disappointing. But all for the best. Buck: No, I don’t remember who threw the first punch, or why. Joss and I were tracking down proof that esme framed me. In a bar known for criminal activity? Just the kind of place esme would go to for an unregistered phone. Look, we will explain everything later, I promise. But right now, we need to get out of here. Cabrera, you got id on those two? What happened to our hanging out by the pool? I’m sorry. This was just too good a chance to pass up. Linc had a card from the savoy with what was obviously a password written on the back. Oh, yes, a strong indicator that something shady was going on.

Yes, mr. Sarcasm. Look, this is my chance to catch linc in the act and blackmail him into signing over the rights to my songs back over to me. There is so much illegal in what you just said to me, I don’t even know where to start. Linc: I know you. You’re the woman in the gif that’s gone viral. Soaking wet, climbing out of the pool. Yes, that’s me. Yeah, well, uh, you got a rockin’ bod. And that image — it’s like the beauty from the black lagoon. We might be able to re-create that for one of my artist’s videos. Excuse me? Oh, did I not mention? I’m a, uh — a music producer.

This is the last-minute player? Ms. Wu, we meet again. All the players raved about you inside there. Did they? Yeah. Um, brad here was kind enough to let me sit in on the game. Texas hold’em, high stakes. That’s exactly how I like to play. Uh, it’s a shame the game ended so early. Yes, isn’t it? Um, thanks for the hospitality. Have a good night.

Oh, god, i love this movie. I have never known anyone so thrilled by this film. Oh, come on. Cary grant rescues ingrid bergman, and the nazis are thwarted, and the moment that he goes back inside, claude rains is a dead man. It’s the — what’s not to love? It’s so good. Well, if you like this film, you’re gonna love the second feature. You’re not gonna tell me what it is, are you? You wanted to be surprised.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, there’s a concession stand back there, but bonbons felt a little pedestrian for such a momentous occasion. A drive-in’s momentous? No, not the drive-in. Us. You agreeing to an official first date. That is momentous, yeah. So I brought a lovely… charcuterie… oh. …And, uh, caviar. Oh, it’s lovely. Wow. What? What? Well, I-I love popcorn at the movies. Well, it’s a good thing I brought popcorn, then. This is from japan. It’s salted umami. And it’s out of this world. No. Popcorn needs fake butter. Well, I’m usually much better at this. Oh! Bull’s eye on the movie and the fact that you remembered I love hitchcock. I mean, yeah, that’s all perfect. Yeah, the master of suspense never got any more romantic than “notorious.” Yeah. A libeled lady and a charismatic rogue on a spy mission falling for each other.

[ Sentimental music

playing on screen ] What’s not to love? Of course blackmailing linc is illegal. That’s why I kept you out of it. You ditched me. Yeah, for your own good. You are so, so close to being reinstated. You came to me for help, and as soon as I agreed, you bailed on me and you took off so you could handle it on your own. Not that you’ve gotten anywhere. No, I beg to differ. Something went way, way wrong with linc tonight. He came out of the back room fuming. And when linc gets mad, linc gets stupid. And when linc gets stupid, which is most of the time, linc makes mistakes, and that’s when we’ve got him. I manage some of the best talent in the business. Billie and olivia would kill to sign with me. Then why haven’t they? Oh, I got a full plate now. Plus, I don’t really need the money. Oh, you’re rolling in it?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you know, the private planes, the yachts. You have more than one? Ah, well, that depends where I’m heading. Which I imagine is all over the world. Baby, you would not believe the life I’ve lived. Oh. Bet you’ve seen some things. I’m nothing like the guys you’re used to. Hmm. So true. Ah!

[ Laughs ] Okay, well, what’s there to talk about? Look, I bought into the game. I played well. I won fair and square. And what is your definition of fair, mr. Bell? What’s indisputable is that you cleaned out all of my other players in eight hands. That’s just how the cards fell. When the game goes on all night, the players’ inhibitions wear down and the stakes go up. If they lose, they ask for credit. Which you’re more than happy to extend at a fat interest rate. You cut into my profits. I’ll need to recoup my losses, which will come out of your winnings.

[ Chuckles ] Now who’s not playing fair?

[ Speaks mandarin ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Coughs ] We haven’t really sat down and addressed what scott did to michael on the stand. Did you know what baldwin was gonna do? No, sonny, I didn’T. You sure? I mean, scott told me that he was gonna bring up claudia zacchara’s death, but I had no idea about the details on how she died. I just know that scott said he was gonna hit michael with his criminal record. So it sounds like you didn’t know how bad baldwin was gonna get with — with michael. I didn’T. I really didn’T. But I’m — I’m not gonna get any medals either. Kidnapping avery, and then, again, keeping your existence in nixon falls a secret. Let me guess. Baldwin said to you that in order to, uh, secure visitation with wiley, you were gonna have to level the playing field. Yeah, make michael look so bad that I look better in comparison. Listen to me, okay? I just want you to know that michael had no intention of killing claudia. He was just a teenager, and he was defending his little sister. I know that now. And watching scott go after michael on the stand, it made my stomach sick, sonny, in part because of what I set in motion, and in part because I was sure… …that I’d lose you over it. I gotta say, this is kind of nice, having the place to ourselves. Yeah. Perks of co-owning the metro court. Yeah, and you know I’m only hanging out for the perks, right? Oh, I’m under no illusions.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] I think I know what you meant when you said, “bad, but for the best.” It’s when something crappy happens to you, but — but you needed it. It’s what you actually needed. It gives you a wake-up call. Kind of just shifts your whole perspective. That’s exactly what happened to me today. I haven’t talked to sonny since nina’s visitation hearing, and I won’t go into the gory details. But nina had her lawyer, scott baldwin, accuse michael of being violent towards women. Oh, my god! Can you believe that? I-I heard that, and I am so — I am so incredibly sorry. I mean, it was awful. But what was truly indefensible was that sonny was in the courtroom. He heard everything. And when it was over, he comforted nina. You must have felt so betrayed.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Furious. And, um… devastated. And now? Weirdly grateful.

When michael was done with his testimony and the judge called for a recess because she wanted to talk to diane and scott in chambers, I — I stood up and, um, felt so alone, and I turned around, and there you were on the plaintiff’s side, on my side. I remember. And then I saw you, and you looked so stoic. And I had no idea what you were feeling. I was afraid that you were gonna tear into me. I did — I had — there was a lot of, you know, that was going — a lot of stuff happening. I mean, I was angry at baldwin for going after michael. I was disappointed in michael for going after you. And then baldwin had to go after michael. It’s just — it was a lot. Yeah, it was ugly. I wanted to play fair. I wanted to just let everyone cool down until michael and willow allowed me to see wiley. But michael and willow, they didn’t — they didn’t play fair. Even before the five-page feature in… yeah. And —

…the invader? Yeah, they were never gonna cool down, sonny. I mean, wiley would have been an adult before I was allowed to see him, and by that time, he would be so brainwashed, he’d never want to see me. You had every right to, you know, go for that petition for the visitation. I’ve made a lot of mistakes. I know. But — but so has michael. Nobody’s perfect here. Listen… …when I saw you in the court standing up, you were just — you were hurting. You were hurting a lot. And all I could think about was… …making you feel better. I just wanted to explain to you what happened. I felt like my…

[Voice breaking] Like my skin was ripped off, all my faults were exposed. And there you were. You touched my cheek. And then — sorry. That small act of compassion, that meant more to me than you will ever know. You’re grateful that sonny sided with nina? The sonny I knew would have defended his son. And the fact that he didn’t brought it all home to me in a way that nothing else could. I mean, the man I married, the sonny I loved, the father of my kids, he’s gone. For as long as I’ve known sonny,

[Chuckles] He could make me angry. So angry, angrier than anyone. And what surprised me today was the anger I didn’t feel. And that’s when I realized. Your wake-up call. Yeah. What sonny did in that courtroom severed the last tie. I mean, we’re donna’s parents. We’re always gonna co-exist for her sake, but… separate lives. And I’ve been saying I’m free for a while, but today i feel free. Congratulations.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Thank you. We should celebrate. I’ll need to see your ids. Which one? The real one that says I’m underage? Or the fake one that says I’m 23 and my name is jane?

[ Chuckles ] Look, trina cannot get arrested, even if it’s a misdemeanor. The title ix determination came back against her. Sorry to hear that. Thanks, but it turns out it’s the least of my worries. Look, coming here was entirely my idea. I dragged her along. Please, just bust me and let trina go.

[ Police radio chatter ]

[ Cody coughing ] Enough. Come on. The money.

[ Grunts ] No, come on, you can’t take my buy-in money. I bro– I brought it to the table.

[ Coughs ] You cost me far more than I recouped tonight. You are still in my debt. You can’t leave me with nothing, come on. I’m not completely heartless.

[ Wheezes ] Let’s go.

[ Whimpering ] Sorry. Selina: Bradley! I mean, I don’t want to intimidate you or anything. Mm.I am rich and famous, but deep down inside, I’m just a regular guy. Mm! Regular just doesn’t do it for me. Neither does rich and famous. I’m into a very particular type. By all means, enlighten me. The kind who keeps his head when literal bullets are flying, who’s not overly fussy on the rule of law, and who doesn’t give a damn about pop culture. The kind of guy who can take a punch and laugh about it. This yours? Yes. Thank you. By the way, did you know that loser is rich and famous? Do you not see how this could blow up in your face? If you do something illegal to get back at linc, and linc can prove it, then you’re in a far worse position than when you started. Oh, look at linc’s expression. Britt blew him off, and he is livid. Now’s my chance.

[ Coughs and whimpers ]

[ Groans ]

Okay. I’m up for celebrating.What do you suggest? Well, let’s see. Um… how about a night swim? Oh, I didn’t bring my suit. You could skinny dip. Uh…[ Chuckles ] I own the hotel. You know, people could come and… so… I don’t think anybody’s around. Pool’s closed. I won’t tell. Raincheck? Absolutely. At least put your feet in the water? Ah! I can do that. Carly saw me in the courtroom. And that’s what we were fighting about today. She — I guess she felt like the — the gesture of comfort meant that I-I didn’t — I was okay with baldwin going after michael. Oh, I’m so sorry I put you in that position. I don’t — I don’t regret it at all ’cause I was just doing what I felt I wanted to do in the moment. Yeah. Carly — she can’t forgive you? She’s done, which is ironic ’cause the — the divorce has been finalized for a while now, but I guess she doesn’T… you know, she’s cutting the cord. Uh, except for donna. I get to… I get to see donna… yeah. …As much as I want, you know. No matter what carly’s issues are, she is first and foremost a mother. She’s never gonna use donna as a pawn. Yeah. You know, I never thought this would happen. I al– I always thought that I’d be connected to carly, like, at least from the past or from the kids, or, you know. Just… no, your son weathered a vicious attack, and you consoled the woman who initiated it. I don’t know you anymore. And she — she said she doesn’t know who I am anymore. And I’m — I’m thinking, well, of course she doesn’T. I mean, a lot has changed since nixon falls. I’m not the same person. I’ve changed. And it seems like the only one who… …understands me in my life is you. I’ll need yours, too. Cabrera. The bouncer checks out. Listen, my partner’s waiting for me. We got a perp violating his parole. We need to process him at the station. Clear the scene. Send everyone home. Copy that. What happens now? Are you gonna arrest us? Well, technically, it’s not illegal to purchase a fake id in the state of new york. It’s not? Using one, however, is more of a gray area. It’s up to the officer’s discretion whether or not he wants to file charges. And what is your discretion telling you? I’m gonna let you off with a warning, this time.

[ Coughs and groans ]

[ Sighs ] Lose something? Ahh.

[ Coughs ] Linc, what a coincidence. Long time no see. Oh, get lost, brook lynn. I’m expecting a call from korea. Yeah. And there’s a bridge for sale in brooklyn. You know, I should know better than to visit port charles. First some cowboy took all my cash at a card game, and then some woman doesn’t even have the sense to appreciate what I’m offering.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh. This is it.

Min-ho!

Ban-mal? Wh– yes, yes, absolutely. “All I want” is still available. That’s my song. Your guys will do a phenomenal interpretation. And I have listened to plenty of boy bands. And might I say, yours is the best in the k-pop biz. Yeah, you can change the lyrics from “him” to “her.” You can change whatever you want. I own the song.

[ Clears throat ] What the hell? The song in question is no longer available. It’s caught up in a copyright lawsuit that could drag on for years. Goodbye.

[ Sighs ] Do you realize what you just did? Yeah, I saved my song. I want my phone back. Ow! Chase: Hey! Come here. Back off! Oh, god. Hey, man, if you don’t realize that she is using you, then you are dumber than you look. Phone, or I will sell your entire catalog to a porn producer I know who’ll use it for soundtracks. Wow. What a surprise. You know a porn producer. Yeah, come to think of it, that’s a market you should explore. You can’t sing anymore, but there are other ways to perform, like lying on your back.

[ Epic music playing on screen ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, sorry. I usually remember to switch these things off. Is it important? No, it’s just work. It’ll keep. Anything to do with the jennifer smith case? Why do you ask? I’m just curious. I offered my assistance. You were strangely quiet. Oh, yeah, it’s not likely I’m gonna need it, ’cause the wsb think that the case is airtight. You don’t agree? No! Jennifer — she was — she insisted that she had this french naval captain up in her room. Played by gary cooper? I wish. [ Laughs ] Anyway, we haven’t been able to locate him or confirm his identity or anything.

[ French accent ] This chair, is it taken? I think I can still be of some use. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to get so emotional. I did not call you here for consolation.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Chuckles ] I know. Hey. I can tell that you’re hurting. Why don’t you talk to me? I’m tired of hurting. I’m tired of — of being angry, of being sorry. This is who I am. You love me, or you hate me.

[ Chuckles ] And with you, it seems to be enough. Yeah. Right? Or not? Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] I’m tired of hurting, too, sonny. I’m tired of the loss and the regret. You, my man, you make me happy, and I want to embrace that happiness. How do we start? Oh. How do we start? Slowly. Carly: Mm. This is perfect. Really? It’s perfect? You don’t think my idea of celebration is kind of lame? No! Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Look, I’m here hanging out with you on this gorgeous night, and my feet are in the swimming pool of a hotel that I co-own.

And I own a chunk of stock in a media company that is soaring by the day. A bigger chunk than you expected to have.

[ Laughs ] I know a good thing when I see it.

[ Grunts and coughs ]

[ Laughs ] Well, thanks. What’d you do to deserve this? Ah, this is just how it goes when I’m on a winning streak. Mm. You get beat up and left in an alley with only $50?

[ Laughs ] Well, my luck turns harder and faster than a bucking bronco. Mm. There you were, picturing the hot car you were gonna buy, the place in malibu. 200-acre spread in wyoming. It’s a nice place. You ever been? I was gonna buy some — buy some horses. Purebreds? No, uh… the price is — too pricey. Just gonna get some workhorses to take care of and ride. Take care of… you might have a concussion, so stay with me, cody. Cody! I wasn’t — I wasn’t sleeping, I pro– I was just — I was resting my eyes. Then I’ll leave you to it.

[ Straining ] Yep. Damn hippocratic oath. “First do no harm.” Okay. So… I’m a doctor, remember? So let me check your injuries. And I’m warning you right now, this is going to hurt. Ah, ah! You said you were looking for a lead on esme. Did you find one? Yes and no. Esme framed trina by planting the phone in trina’s bag. The phone she used to record the sex tape and then sending it out in an e-mail blast. And we think we found the guy who sold her the phone. Who is he? He was tending the bar when we got here. We don’t know his name. He was about to id esme, but the fight broke out and he slipped away. But he works here, which means he’ll be back. Next time we’ll get him — next time, you guys won’t be anywhere near here. Well, we need to find the guy. I’ll ask about the bartender. I’ll get a name, a description, and I’ll run it.

[ Cellphone beeping ] I got another call. Disturbance in progress. How are you two getting home? Uh, a rideshare. It’ll be here in five minutes. Good. Be sure not to miss it.

Thanks for the ice cream.That was a great suggestion. Oh, anytime. What are you doing? What do you think I’m doing? I’m working off the ice cream. The mile I swam earlier isn’t gonna cut it. Oh. [ Laughs ] Thank you for the celebration. Who says it’s over? As far as I’m concerned, it’s just getting started. So we’ve been dancing around each other for a year at least, and not to mention the time in nixon falls. So how much slower can we go? Well, I want nothing more than to just dive head first into a relationship with you. Right. What’s stopping you? Well, what’s stopping me is…me. The feeling that I had in that courtroom when I stood up and I saw you. We could fall really hot and heavy with each other.

[ Chuckles ] What happens to me when it fizzles out? Sonny, you are unlike any man that I have ever known. And I want us to build something real between us. I appreciate that. But you’re not the only one that’s feeling alone. I just, you know…. carly and michael cut me out of their life. I can’t rely on them. And there — there is this connection that we have. But if, you know — if you want to take it slow, I’m okay with that. Okay. You going home already? Yeah, well… no, no, no. You keep this just because that — you can remember me.

[ Laughs ] Okay. If I don’t leave now, I will never leave, so… I’ll call you. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.

[ Door closes ] Will I l-live?

[ Grunts ] Your ribs are badly bruised. Some may be cracked. I’d recommend an x-ray.

[ Grunts ] Yeah, I’ll get right on that, just as soon as I can figure out how to stand up. Oh, for pity’s sake. Lean on me. Come on. Oh! Ah! Ow, ow, ow. Aw! You’re such a baby.

[ Laughs ] Aren’t you the same guy who fell from the sky and into the metro court pool without a bump? You cushioned my fall.

[ Sighs ] I’m parked right over there. I’ll drive you to G.H.

[ Sighs ] Alright. Hospitals are pricey, and I’m down to my last $50, so… well, I’m not gonna leave you in the alley. You need help.

[ Exhales ] I know who can help. And they owe me.

[ Laughs ] Oh! Familiar with a lot of french naval captains, are we? Profiling 101. First of all, how are we so sure that ms. Smith didn’t just invent this gallic seafarer? We know he exists because the hotel bartender saw him. Okay. Well, this is where I suggest his involvement is incidental and ms. Smith is just implicating him as a red herring. Right. No more hitchcock for you. No, not at all. It’s occam’s razor, darling. The simplest explanation is usually the right one. She doesn’t want to admit her guilt, so she’s claiming innocence and wanting to finger some poor sap she met at a hotel bar. Perhaps. Okay, what do you think happened? I’m not sharing my theories with a civilian. Ouch. Who are you calling a civilian? We have — we’ve worked together on plenty of your cases. I know what you’re doing.

[ Sighs ] I’m trying to help you. No, you’re not. I thought this was too good to be true. Is this really a date? Is it? I mean, th– [Sighs] This — this whole drive-in, hitchcock, charcuterie? Or is it just a tactic to get information out of me? How crazy was that? The bar fight? The lead on esme?

[ Door closes ] The cops showing up?

[ Sighs ] We were so close to getting the bartender to id esme. I know, but, I mean, things could be worse. We could be in the back of a squad car charged with misdemeanor use of a fake id, jane. You’re right, kara.

[ Chuckles ] Rory did us a solid tonight.

Us? [ Laughs ] No, that had nothing to do with me. Rory did that for you. He likes you. Yeah, I think he does. Okay. What happened here? I was attacked. Assault and battery. And I am pressing charges. Take statements from all these witnesses. Did you see the incident? Afraid I did. Who did what to whom? This is all my fault. I feel awful. I’m the one who lost my cool. Hey, you had every right to. Ugh! Linc is such a slimeball. You know what, let’s sneak out the back door, okay? We’ll hole up at the mansion, we’ll call the elq lawyers, and they can get us out of this. Aren’t you coming? I’ll only make things worse if I leave the scene. I’ll be labeled a fugitive with an apb on my back. I was the victim of a brutal and unprovoked attack. According to your witness here, detective chase threw the first and only punch. You collapsed like wet cardboard.

[ Laughs ] Exactly. Call an ambulance. He broke my jaw. Excuse me. Officer cabrera. Detective chase. Uh, you were on suspension when I joined the force, but I’ve heard the stories. Yeah, I bet. Well, it, uh, looks like you have a witness and a victim who clearly wants to press charges. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He was provoked, okay? Linc had it coming. Please, please, don’t do this. Brook lynn.

[ Sighs ] Harrison chase, you’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.

[ Handcuffs click ] Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.

Aurora stock goes up, thanks to Carly buying lots of shares. Michael isn’t happy about it because it’s a big risk for her. They try to get Lucy to pledge her shares of ELQ to them.

Sonny has a brief chat with Jordan about his ship in the harbor that hasn’t been released by the harbor master. She can tell he’s upset about something else, so he tells her that he’s upset about Michael feuding with him. She’s sure that if Sonny keeps trying, they’ll eventually reconcile. Jordan also tells Martin that Cyrus is not the one who targeted him and Laura.

Martin is worried about who may have been after them; especially Laura. Valentin offers to give him protection. Valentin is determined to keep his job at ELQ. Martin assures him that Lucy will still support him. Sonny visits Carly at her request, to talk about the kids. She agrees with Michael that Sonny threw away his relationship with his kids.

Spencer tells Laura that Ava offered him money to stay at Wyndemere, which surprises her. He has an epiphany about how to deal with Esme. Laura goes to see Ava and Nikolas. Nikolas wants to divorce Ava, and then remarry her, to start fresh.

Ryan isn’t pleased that Esme still hasn’t told Ava about her sleeping with Nikolas. Felicia visits and warns Esme away from Ryan, telling her some of their history. Esme explains to Ryan that she has to make Nikolas betray Ava again, which will destroy their relationship for good. Ryan accepts her plan. Esme meets up with Spencer; he’s quitting his job and plans to spend lots of time with her (but he’s secretly plotting against her).

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct talking on tv ] Mm. Oh, come on.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello? Brook lynn. Where are you? We were supposed to meet at the pool. I’m watching the game. Oh! Shot-clock violation. Damn it. What?

It’s nothing. What are you eating? Cereal. So you’re watching the game and eating cereal when you could be hanging out at the pool with me? Yep. No, I mean, I’ll be there soon, okay? When?

Soon. Come on! I got to go, okay? Bye. What are you doing tonight? I was just headed home. Can you reconsider that and stay with me? Please? Oh, sonny, I really — I shouldn’T. I’ll make it worth your while. One drink. So, sonny and nina? Yeah, I’m just going to make like they’re not here. You are a chicken. I totally am. But you know what? I’m here with you, and I don’t want family drama ruining my night. That’s good. Mm-hmm. It gives you more time to fill me in on whatever trouble you and cody got into back in the day. Alright. Huh. Things just got interesting.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hey, t, what are you doing here? Hey. I just went by your house to look in on marshall. Aunt stella said you left early, so I thought I’d stop by. Yeah, look, I know I owe you a conversation. Marshall already explained everything. I just — I came here to see about you. Aiden: Hey, I want to try. So, what’s the verdict? Did I overstep asking you to talk to cam? Not at all. No, I think he appreciated the gesture. He’s got some weight on his shoulders right now. I think he’s strong enough to carry it. If he isn’t, he’s got you to help him out. I don’t think cam wants my help. Give him time. My bet is he comes around. Hey, you’re holding it wrong. Do you want me to show you? I want to learn myself, okay? Back off. In or out. Alright. Whew. We should’ve stopped by the drugstore and covered ourself with fake tattoos before we got here. Yeah, not really my vibe. Well, never mind the aesthetics. We need to blend in so we can get some answers. Well, this place is pretty close to spring ridge, which is where esme interned. Must’ve been very convenient to pick up an untraceable phone. So what now? I doubt there’s a counter that sells black-market cellphones or a guy that says, “hi, can I help you?” Wow. You’re hilarious when you’re out of place. Listen, we just need to stay calm, mingle, and strike up a conversation with the clientele. Hey, you guys lost or something? Maxie: Well, if these sticks are more to your satisfaction, have about them. I, for one, am more invested in the chocolate. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love chocolate. But, maxie, you should know I’m a marshmallow man. And a gooey marshmallow is what defines a s’more.

[ Rustling ] What was that?

Hey. Hi. Finally. Your piña colada is melting. Sorry. It was a great game. The lead changed nine times in the last two minutes, and the three-point favorite lost on a buzzer beater. That’s nice. Nice? It’s heartbreaking for the three-point favorite. Are you going to swim tonight? It’s perfect weather. Uh, nah, I think I’m just going to sip on this piña colada. I’m really glad you asked me to hang out tonight. Mm-hmm. I feel like you’ve been so focused on taking down linc that we just need a break, a night to just chill, you know? Mm-hmm. But I guess that was just too much to ask for, huh? I really appreciate you giving marshall space to talk to aunt stella and me. Now, I’m sure you have your own questions, but it really meant a lot. No, you needed answers. But now that you have them, how are you feeling?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m not going to lie to you. I’m confused. There’s a lot to process. For me, as well. Even though I’m a medical professional. I felt a pit in my stomach when I saw marshall’s medication, and when he said that — that his diagnosis was schizophrenia, I had an immediate, visceral reaction. That’s understandable. Medical strides have come a long way, but it is a complicated diagnosis. Just imagine how marshall felt hearing that 40 years ago. He was probably terrified — not only of the stigma, but for what could happen to him. Which is why he chose to leave and stay lost for so long. At least now you know that it wasn’t out of neglect. It was out of love for you and my father. Marshall wanted to protect you, even from himself if it came to that. Cheers. Oh, well, it’s bad luck to toast with water. Oh, yes, I heard about that. But what if the water’s as sparkly as your eyes?

[ Chuckles ] Besides, I’ve had all the bad luck that one person is allotted in one lifetime. Granted, I’m to blame for most of it. Can I tell you, I don’t want to tempt fate, but I think that luck is going to turn around. Oh, really? Yeah. Do tell. Well, because the hearing is over. No more secrets, betrayal. No more, you know, waiting for the other shoe to drop. The worst is over. And I think it’s time that we stop denying that… there’s something between us. Is there? You heard that, right? I did? Yeah, it’s probably nothing. Nature’s noisy. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I need to stop watching old slasher movies before I go to sleep. Well, that can’t help. Does that help?

[ Twig snaps ] Okay, that was definitely something. Probably just a fox. That doesn’t make me feel any better. Okay, you know what? Just stay put for a second. I’ll go check it out. Oh, you are not leaving me. Okay. Let’s go together.

[ Rustling ]

[ Twig snaps ] Skunk? Maybe it’s a skunk. Now it’s definitely time to go. Okay.

[ Both scream ] Boo! Dude, relax. I was just trying to help. I just want to figure this out on my own, okay? Aiden, relax, alright? Cam crushes on the guitar. He’ll teach you how to play in no time. Cam won’t always be around. He’s in college. And you’ll be in college soon, too. And if mom doesn’t come back… I just need to learn stuff by myself. Okay? Jake: Aiden, you don’t have to get upset. Cam was just trying to help.

[ Whispering ] Wyatt, hey. Did you need me, dr. Finn? I need a favor, wyatt. Two, actually. Of course. How can I be of assistance? I want you to call me finn, alright? I appreciate you acknowledging the whole doctor thing, but all my friends call me finn, and I like to think you’re one of them. I’d like to think so, too. So no more “doctor.” No more “doctor.” Okay. What’s the other favor? Alright, look, aiden’s going through a pretty tough time right now, and, you know, I was wondering if you could include him in whatever you’re doing, alright? There’s probably not enough time for him to learn to play guitar before the sing-along tonight, but maybe there’s another way you could find for him to participate. I think I know what to do. Leave it to me, d– finn. Good man.

[ Sighs ] Trina: We’re not lost. We’re just from out of town. Yes, um, we heard about this place and figured we’d stop by and check it out while we’re here. It’s a definite vibe. Yeah, you’re, uh — you’re a little younger than our usual clientele. Yes, we like to hang around, uh, groups of people that are sometimes different than our friends. Yeah, that’s not what I meant. You got I.D.? Yes. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Okay, jane and kara, hate to break it to you, but these are totally bogus.

Hey, can you help me out with something? Sure. I was thinking about switching the song for the campfire sing-along. Can I play some possibilities and you can help me pick the best one? Sure. Wow. Hmm? Seems like wyatt found a way to make aiden feel better. Oh. Good. I’m glad everything worked out. Yeah, it’s almost as if someone knew that in order to make aiden feel better, he’d have to be in control of the situation, especially with everything in his life spinning out of control. Who could’ve been that smart? Oh, um… you know, I guess the important thing is that aiden’s coming to terms with his emotions, right? Doesn’t matter how it happens. Actually, it does. My license is not bogus, and neither is kara’S. We would never do something like that. Really? Well, if you’re both 23, tell me about dimpled chads. They were really cute guys. Boy band. Not even close. Beat it. Next time, invest in better fakes. That’s actually why we came. We heard that somebody knows how to get things like that — quality I.D.S, unregistered phones. We can pay in cash. That’s the guy you’re looking for, but make it quick. Wow. You sure got over your jitters quickly. I wasn’t going to let our last hope go down the drain. They say desperation gives you strength. I’m done dealing with that parachuting charlatan. That was not part of our agreement. But don’t worry.

[ Muffled ] I handled dr. Westbourne. No lawsuit. No chance of exposing what’s really going on here. So, summer camp? Hm. Uh, yeah, okay. I was, uh — I was 12. And my buddy tommy fazio had just gotten busted for shoplifting, and my mother was convinced that I was going to be next. And off you went. Yeah. And I wasn’t thrilled about nature, you know? But then it dawned on me that I’d be away from my mother and my 200 other relatives that lived in the vicinity of our apartment. That their sole purpose in life was to guide me and supervise me. Okay. Yeah. I’m assuming nature was the downside. Nature, to me, was a church parking lot, playing stickball.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I wasn’t opposed to nature, but getting that close to it? No, it wasn’t my first choice, no. Well, on the upside, no supervision. Well, limited supervision, right? I mean, you still had counselors, but at least I wasn’t related to any of them. And then you met cody? Yeah. Yeah. You know, most of the kids at camp, they were like me, city kids. But cody, he was a country kid. He was different. He was comfortable out there. And I saw him, and I’m thinking, “I should take some pointers from that kid.” Well, cody seems to want to remind you all the time about the trouble the two of you got into back in the day. Yeah, he does. We, uh… well, we had some good times. I was surprised you came to work tonight. Isn’t the owner entitled to take a night off every now and then? Sure. But I got something going on tonight. Chase: Something tells me tonight wasn’t just about us hanging out.

[ Sighs ] Did you know linc would be here? Well, I hoped so. I saw him checking in in the lobby earlier. I knew he was up to something, and I was right. Don’t jump to conclusions. Did you see him talking to selina wu? That has to be fishy, right? Selina wu has never been convicted of anything. In the eyes of the law, it’s not a crime for linc to associate with her. Oh, don’t give me the whole “in the eyes of the law” talk, okay? Isn’t your detective’s intuition tingling? My detective’s intuition is telling me that you’re trying to make up excuses to go after linc. I don’t need an excuse, okay? He’s holding my songs hostage. I said I would help you get your songs back, but you have to let me take the lead.

[ Sighs ] We have to do it the right way. You just don’t get it, chase. Music, to most people, is just — it’s something they listen to when they’re bored, okay? But for me, it’s — it’s home. Grounding. Purpose. It’s — [ Sighs ] It’s my life. Ever since my mom took me to tower records on 4th street and broadway to get a jets cassette.

[ Chuckles ] Jets? I don’t know that band. We’ll go over your deprived childhood at another time. Look, the point is

[Sighs] — Is that ever since I knew that I could sing, it’s the only thing I’ve wanted to do. And now I can’t sing. And thanks to you, I realized that I can still participate in that part of my life through my songwriting. It’s the only thing I have left in that area of my life. Oh, hell. Linc’s coming over here. Brook lynn.

[ Sighs ] How is my favorite personal atm doing this fine evening?

Why are you back, linc? Oh, I’m just relaxing here in port charles in between taking meetings about your catalog. You know, it’s amazing how much more valuable those songs are without you attached now. Alright, it’s time to take a walk. Hey, I’m just living life and enjoying the night. Brookie knows I would never do anything to upset her. I only wanted her to know how profitable her songs are. Profitable to me, anyway. I intend to continue tapping that.

[ Scoffs ] Let — just let him be. He’s just trying to press my buttons. I’m just going to have a little conversation with him. Hey. When are you going to get it through your thick skull? Leave brook lynn alone. Linc: I’m just making conversation. No, no, no. You are harassing her — the lewd innuendoes, trying to rub it in her face that you cheated her out of her own songs. Who the hell do you think you are talking to her like that? You know, I don’t care if you’re on some big power trip or you just get off on being cruel, but you do not talk to her like that again, ever. Mr. Ashford, your business continues to thrive. Who’s your friend? Ms. Wu, this is my nephew, dr. Ashford. A pleasure to meet you. You, as well. Um, t, why don’t you go order us a round? N’neka knows what I like. I need to talk with ms. Wu. Yeah. I got your text. Is there a problem? Thankfully, no. You went off the grid for a few days to deal with a family matter. Well, I’m quite sure that my staff and your nephew handled things quite nicely while I was away. Nevertheless, I was compelled to come here and confirm the details for tonight’s game. There’s a very influential player who will be joining us for the first time. So one of the activities at camp was horseback riding, and the closest thing I’d ever been to a horse, being from bensonhurst, was, whenever we went to the city as kids, we’d see them pulling carriages through central park or, you know, cops mounted on patrol, that kind of thing. Mm-hmm. So, okay, there I am, you know, 12 years old, staring up at this giant beast with its nostrils flaring, and I’m thinking…

[ Chuckles ] “I don’t want to get on top of that thing.” So cody sees this, and he walks over. And then I started thinking, “oh, great, this guy’s going to give me a hard time because I’m scared,” and he didn’T. He walked up to me. He was super chill. He’s like, “hey, man,” taught me how to stand, how to approach the horse, how to be respectful towards the horse. I was comfortable with the horse. The horse was comfortable with me. And then he said horses can sense human emotion, and it’s their gift. You know, at that point I figured he was a good guy, and we had each other’s backs ever since. So the guy’s got layers.Mm. And I think that’s why you’ve been able to tolerate some of the more questionable ones? Where he may be a screw-up, for sure, but he’s got a heart of gold.

[ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ] Ah, uh, can I help you? Well, I think we could help each other. I know what’s really going onbetween you and zelda. So why don’t we talk about what it’s going to take to keep it quiet? You got quiet all of a sudden. Did I say something uncomfortable? No, I don’t feel uncomfortable, sonny. Just maybe given pause. As much as I love sitting across the table from you, I can’t help but notice that your own son hasn’t even acknowledged our existence since we sat down. Dante, he’s just… he’s just enjoying himself, like I am. Listen, don’t worry about dante. He’s been very nonjudgmental for all — yeah. Yeah? Really? Even after the hearing? I mean, he can’t be okay with everything that was said or with me. Do you want to go someplace else, where it’s more our speed? You don’t have to be scared anymore. Did you really think we were a bear? Okay, maybe I overreacted, but in all fairness, I didn’t expect to see people that far away from the campsite. I’m sorry if we startled you. I find I can’t resist the charms of a certain granddaughter. When she asked if she could come along to gather sticks for, uh — for s’mores. Can we make them now? Ah, there we go. A girl after my own heart. I love a good s’more. I can eat 10 s’mores. Can you do that? Alright, let’s see. I’ll tell you what. We’ll wash these sticks off, we’ll get them dry, and I promise that I won’t munch any marshmallows in the meantime.

[ Chuckles ] What

can I get ya? I.D.S and an unregistered phone. We heard that you’re someone who can hook us up. Heard it from who? I might know a guy. You both want I.D.S? Uh, yeah, but actually, we — we want the phone first, and it should have working e-mail and internet and a camera. Do you have phones that can handle all of that? Well, sure. It’ll set you back about a grand. That going to be a problem? No. Wait. We’ve been burned before. We don’t want to get scammed again. Our friend said that she bought her phone here, and I want to make sure you’re the right guy. Do you remember selling a phone to her?

oh, you’re right. This is absolutely more our scene. Okay, do me a favor. You grab a table. I’ll get the drinks, and then — how about this? How about you grab a table? Right. This round’s on me. Mm. Hey. Hi. It’s nice to see you. You know… chase: Be decent for once in your life and relinquish control to brook lynn’s songs, or at least split the profits. Linc: What are you, her manager all of a sudden? Huh? You looking for a payday? She’s already rich. She’s not hurting for cash with that family of hers. What, a man can’t get a drink in peace here? You got to sic your pit bull on me? Watch your tone. Oh, and this entire conversation was my idea. Oh, yeah? Well, next time you get the urge, don’T. Keep clear of brook lynn, and we don’t have to worry about that. Don’t worry. I have better places to be. I bet you do. What? What did you say to him? Just that he can’t talk to you like that again. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lost my cool. No, don’t apologize. It was incredibly reactive and old-school and really… and it was a perfect diversion. Linc is up to no good, and now I know what. Everything is ready for tonight’s game. I’ve honored our deal, even during my family emergency. This family matter must’ve been most distressing. Are things better now? Do you really care? I know you may not think of me as a friend. That’s fair. But I can provide an ear if you ever need to vent. As an ally. Our businesses are dependent on one another. Cameron: I, uh, spoke with your father. He’s a really cool guy. Yeah, he is. Helped me explain this whole title ix situation. I assume you asked him to talk to me. I hope that was okay. Yeah. It was, actually. Really helped. So thank you. You’re welcome. I just, uh — I just — I just want… you just want what’s best for me and my brothers, because you care about my mom, and you care about us. Yeah, I do, cam. Yeah, you guys are — you guys are pretty great the way you’ve been so welcoming with violet.

[ Chuckles ] That’s not hard. I mean, violet’s violet. Mm. Look, I…

[ Sighs ] I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for jumping on you about my mom. I know you only wanted to help, and… the truth is, I-I’m really scared. And seeing aiden now, I understand that he’s scared, too. Jake probably, as well. I’ll let you in on a secret. I’m a little scared myself, but I promise you, we’re going to get through this together. Together. Yeah. Yeah, I sold her a phone a while back.

[ Chuckles ] Kind of had an attitude on this one. Mm. That sounds like ezzie. So do you remember when she came in? Around last january? Mm –well, hello. I know you two. No, you don’T. Yeah, I recognize you both. You were all over the news a few weeks ago. You must be mistaken. I never forget pretty faces. I remember everything about your story. Including your father. The cop.

I know it’s not the tan-o but, you know, when we’re here together… yeah. …It feels close enough. It’s like our pocket universe, where all the reasons why we shouldn’t be near each other just disappear. But that’s a fantasy because we can’t go back to the way it used to be. No, we can’T. But you know what we can do now that things are out in the open? Hm? We can — we can — we can take the universe out of our pockets.

[ Chuckles ] And then maybe suddenly we have free space. Oh, free space to do what? To think about us and what happens next. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] You want to get out of here? Oh, yeah. I would love nothing more. Let’s go. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys aren’t going anywhere, are you? The party’s just getting started. What? You went through his coat pockets? Focus. Whatever is happening is happening at the savoy. Okay, for starters, we don’t even know if there’s anything illegal going on. He had a password. You never saw that movie where the guests were all wearing, you know, masks and costumes, hiding their identities to indulge themselves in debauchery and drugs? At the savoy? We know the slimeball linc’s involved. Okay, but we don’t want to rush into anything without having a better understanding of what we’re dealing with, because that would be reckless and counterproductive. God forbid. Come on. What ever happened to just enjoying each other’s company on a fine summer’s evening? Okay. You win. [ Sighs ] Shouldn’t the winner go get the next round? Why not? Hey, can I get two more piña coladas, please? Thanks. Hey, T.J. Look, I’m sorry, man. There’s a lot that I want to unpack with you about marshall, but, um, I just can’t, not right now. I understand. I’ll just — just — I’ll just chill, and maybe you’ll have time later. Yeah. Right. Molly’s home, right? Right. Why don’t you fill her in? I’m sure she wants to know everything, and the two of you can talk about it. Hey, uncle? Yeah? You trying to get rid of me? I-I’m sorry. No, my father isn’t a cop. Oh, right.

Former cop. What the hell is this? Some kind of sting? No, no. This man is making it up. And you, you’re the pcu campus porn queen. Ugh, get off of me, you creep. Oh, touchy. Let her go. Hey, leave her alone. Hey, mind your business!

[ Grunts ] Come on.

[ Men grunting ] Trina. Trina.

Wyatt’s going to play a song. He said aiden picked out a good one.

It’S… it’s been a long day for me anyway. How about I just stop by your place first thing in the morning? I don’t know about first thing.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. But that sounds fine. Thanks for understanding. Talk soon. Talk soon. This way, please, mr. Brown.

Let’s clear our mind

it’s time for some music

it’s the best time to use it

[ Cheers and applause ] That was great. Gregory: Excellent.

[ Applause continues ] Austin? Alright. You made your point. Understand something. The next time you want to talk to me, you find me when I’m alone. Leave maxie alone. Leave her friends out of it. Leave her family out of it. Got it? What do you want? So, is this part of having the space so we can figure things out? Yeah, I guess. Okay, I think I could get used to this. So where did this newfound wisdom come from? Well [Sighs] I made peace with the idea that my life moving forward is going to look more like what we had in nixon falls, as opposed to my past here in port charles. There’s no — there’s no going backwards. And carly made it crystal clear that, um… …we’re done. I-I’m sorry. Are you saying — are you saying that that kiss just happened because you got into a fight with your ex-wife? What are you talk– man, you left. You hightailed it out of here. We thought you were long gone. Well, the night bus doesn’t leave for a few hours. Come on. You can stick around for a little bit, right? For old times’ sake? I don’t think so. I’m taking this one. We’re getting out of here. Alright. It was good seeing you again. Yeah, you, too. Hit me up if you’re ever back in town, okay? I’m going to. Alright, man. Good to meet you. You, too. What took you so long? I was getting worried. I had to make an unexpected trip to an atm. We’ve got a problem. Mr. Bell is going to be an issue. I’m looking for, uh, bradley cooper. Mm-hmm. He’s in the back room, down the corridor on the left. Thanks. Appreciate it. Okay, brook lynn, this is the second voicemail. I have looked all over for you. You can’t be in the ladies’ room this long. Where the hell are you?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Ringing stops ] That’ll do in a rush. Wish you were here, chase. You don’t know what you’re missing. Trina.

[ Men grunting ]

[ Siren wailing ] Joss! Joss! He’s getting away! I don’t care. We need to get out of here — now. Damn! It’s the cops! The cops! The cops.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Violet: Thanks forthe piggyback ride. Any time, violet.

[ Grunts ] That, uh — that hike was a little longer than anticipated. Steeper, too.

[ Chuckles ] But you all did great. Did we earn dessert? Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then some. Yay! I’m gonna go tell rachel about the guinea pig we saw. Yeah, you could do that. You might want to tell rachel it was also — it was a gopher. And they bite.

[ Gasps ]

[ Gregory laughs ] Rachel likes gophers, too. Oh, good. Well, go tell her. Well, if it isn’t aiden, the pc pioneer. Hey, you on a break? Until dinner. Look at you in your uniform. Whatever. You used to wear one, too. Yeah, but who wore it better? Me. Definitely me. No way. Yes way. You got the bandana all wrong. So far, so good. Hey, uh… where you going? Look, honestly, I need a break from all this pretending. I’m grabbing my phone. It should be fully charged by now. Okay. Nothing like getting away from it all. Hi. Well, there she is. You know, I took the liberty of ordering your usual. Uh, I’m sticking to water tonight. Thanks. And here I thought you subscribed to the hair of the dog to nurse a hangover. Well, that was before I became a gif. Hey, don’t worry. It’ll blow over before you know it. So you’ve seen it? Has anyone not seen it? Yeah, that — that’s really great, nina. Thank you. Okay, okay, okay. Let’s just switch topics. Please. Um, I have not talked to you since our girls night out. What’s new? What’s new? Well, let’s see. Oh, here’s something. I almost left port charles.

[ Door opens ] Thank you for meeting me. You said it was about the kids. Yeah. Look, um… this is a difficult situation for them. I mean, in some ways, it’s easier on donna and avery because they’re too young to fully understand what’s going on. They just want to know that their family still loves them. And I understand that we’re doing everything we can to reassure them of that. I mean, josslyn’s been terrific. She’s spending tons of time with them, but she has a lot going on. I love josslyn. She’s like a daughter to me. Despite what, uh, michael said. What’d michael say? Oh, he — he said that after the divorce and everything that happened w-with nina, that I-I basically threw away my relationship with my kids.

[ Sighs ] Can you believe that? Yeah, I can believe it. A-and I agree. You didn’t call me here to fight, did you? No, I did not call you here to fight. Okay? I just want to talk about what we still have in common, namely our kids, starting with michael and what this rift between the two of you is doing to him. I don’t like it either, carly, but michael’s made it clear that he doesn’t want me anywhere near his life. No matter what I say or do… is gonna change that. Is there a problem, mr. Bell? I’m sure it’s just an accounting error, but, uh, my paycheck was off by $500. There was no mistake, and you know it. It’s a waste of both of our times to argue over such a small amount. I agree. So just pay me what I’m owed. That’ll be it. I’ve fulfilled society setups’ part of the contract. Did that contract include a drunk woman wandering into my landing zone? Someone could have been hurt. But they weren’T. An act of gross negligence is bad for business, zelda. What’s $500 to protect your image? Are you threatening me? You’re a smart woman. You tell me. Dante: Cody. Everything okay here?

[ Chuckles ] Ah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh. Finally. Where have you been? I’m sorry. My phone was dead all day. I-I just charged it. Pcu decided against trina? I can’t believe it. I know. Me neither. But it’s gonna be okay. We have a plan. Austin: Hey. How was the kayaking? It was great. So good. Sorry you missed it. But, you know, with tim sick, we’re down a counselor, and that leaves you, my friend. Not for long. Not for long what? Looks like reinforcements have arrived. Oh, great. Wonder who they sent. Maxie jones, reporting for duty.

This man is trying to extort me.

[ Chuckles ] If “extorting” means getting what I’m owed. Okay, the deal was for $2,000. Now, what does that say? Stop shaking. Let me see. $1,500. The $2,000 minus the charges to your room. The hotel room was a part of the deal. Yes, but not including incidentals. Okay, so I misunderstood. And it cost you. Wait, you charged $500 worth of stuff to your room? Yes, but, you know, I didn’t know that it was… dante: Okay. Uh…if we get this guy out of your hair, can we consider the matter, uh, closed? I suppose so. Excellent. Let’s go. Okay. What plan? We’re at kelly’S. I thought you were working today.

Well, I-I, um… I decided to go on that trip. I’m in pautuck. Oh, for real? You’re out of town? Yeah. I-I’m sorry. I just felt like I should be here. No, no, I get it. I’m — I’m sure that jake and aiden are super psyched that you’re there. Maybe this trip is what everyone needs. Yeah, that’s what finn keeps saying. You don’t agree? I just hate pretending like everything’s okay when my mom’s at shadybrook. Thanks for the assist. No problem. You look surprised. Austin: I am. And maybe a tad befuddled? Yeah, well, I’m — I’m always a little befuddled, right? Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] It’s nice to see you. What are you doing here? Georgie is a junior pc pioneer. That’s right. You told me that. And as such, I’m on the parents pitch-in-in-a-pinch list. Pitch-in-in-a-pinch list. Mm-hmm. It needs a better name. It does. Yeah. Anyway, parents volunteer to help out when an event or an activity is understaffed, even if their child is not participating. So while georgie is at a sleepover at her friend lena’s house, here I am. In beautiful pautuck. You know, you said you weren’t ready to come back here quite yet. Yeah, and I’m not. But let’s be real, when will I ever be? And I thought there were plenty of people and enough distractions that I might be able to hack it. Besides, I’m also communing with nature. Sure you are. Underneath all of that. Haven’t you ever heard of glamping? Oh, I’ve heard of it, but that’s not what this is. Speak for yourself. Okay, mac says camping is good for the soul, but I believe an air mattress is key. So where can we set up my tent? I’m not upset. Who do you think you’re talking to right now? I’m actually glad that cam is spending some time with his brothers. But? But this just feels like yet another example that cam and i are out of sync. But you know what? What? We don’t need cam. We have all the help we need. Hey, did, uh, cameron come back yet? He’s still on the phone. With his girlfriend.

[ Chuckles ] I’m pretty sure you’re not dating till you’re 30. Grandpa, talk some sense into him. Hey, I’m not touching this one. I’m just saying.

[ Laughs ] And thanks, by the way. You’re welcome. For what? Coming here was a great idea. Especially ’cause, uh, aiden won’t be around here most of the time. Take that back. Make me.

[ Laughs ]

[ Groans ] Hey. Uh, everything okay? Coming here was a huge mistake. Sorry about your hearing. I know how badly you wanted wiley in your life. Yeah, I even begged michael and willow to reconsider. How’d that go? About as poorly as you’d think. Well [Chuckles] I get the impulse to get out of town. I’m just glad you didn’t act on it. You have family here, nina. Thank you. You do. I mean it. And if you were to jump ship, it would — it would just be me, maxie, and my mother. You round out our little motley crew. Yeah. I would miss you, too. And, obviously, I wasn’t thinking clearly. But you were on your way to the airport. Oh, yeah. My bags were packed and everything. So what convinced you to stay? I get michael’s a grown man and he can make his own decisions, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying about him. But, wait, is michael in danger? You tell me, sonny. If your rivals know that you two are on the outs, they could assume that he’s no longer under your protection. Well, they would be wrong. I’m not gonna let anybody hurt my son.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, sure. What does that mean? You don’t think it hurt michael when you testified against him? First of all, I didn’t testify against michael. You testified for nina. It’s the same thing.

[ Sighs ] How do you not see that? I don’t get you. I get it, you and michael are fighting… right. …But you have been his father since he was 2 years old. You raised him. And I love michael. Then how could you sit in the courtroom and listen to him be attacked like that?

I mean, the woman owns a company, for god’s sake. What does she care about 500 bucks? Okay, dude, listen, why don’t you relax? Let’s get a drink, okay? Eh, no thanks. I’m buying. In that case, yeah, I’ll have a bourbon. That’s what I thought. Beer? Oh, yeah. Thanks. Thank you. Want to grab a table? Sure. Now I get it. Get what? Why you’re here and not on a plane to tahiti. Well, I was actually headed to europe. Ooh, both work. And I’m not only here because of sonny. You know, you’re right, I have family here. And not just our motley crew, but… wiley. Wiley, wiley. Yeah. Sonny helped me remember that I can’t abandon that little boy. Even though I can’t spend time with him, I have to stay here to prove to michael and willow that I deserve a place in that little man’s life. I hope it works out for you. Wow. You don’t sound very optimistic. I just think if you have unrealistic expectations, you could be setting yourself up. For what? At best, to get hurt. At worst, to do something that reinforces michael and willow’s decision to keep wiley away from you. Well, thank you for the encouragement.

[ Sighs ] I want you to have wiley in your life, I do, but realistically, you were the one who chose to go to court. You lost, and now you have to give michael and willow time and distance to come around. On the bright side, you still have james. Yeah. At least I, uh, can watch james grow up.

[ Clears throat ] You know, I know that I have suffered a great loss, but I have also realized that… I still have a lot left. Including sonny. Well, I don’t think that i have sonny. So what would you call it? Well, I would say — I don’t know, britt. We have — we just have something between us. Oh, you think?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Great. What now? That britt woman’s here. She acts like I ruined her life when it is obvious that her life is already a disaster. Yes, she is not lacking in the complication department. We were talking about you. Can we not? What’s going on with you, man? Why are you so hard up for cash? You in trouble? We talked about this. You know, jake and aiden needed a break, and it — you know, it seems like they’re having fun. Look, it’s not that. Yes, it’s hard being away from my mom right now, but the reason that I wish I was home is that the school finally made their decision on trina’s title ix case. They’ve ruled against her. Okay. Uh… what does that mean? I-I don’t know, but it is not good. You want to — you want to talk about it? Not unless you can tell me what’s about to happen with my friend.

[ Sighs ] We still think that the phone is our best bet. To prove that esme was the one that recorded you and cam. Mm-hmm. Trina: Scott asked you to examine it, right? As an expert for the defense? Yeah, yeah, he did. And the pcpd examined it, as well. Well, the pcpd has got nothing on the jackal. The jackal?

[ Chuckles ] It’s one of my many pseudonyms. So, do you think that you can work your magic and find something that the police missed? Okay, look, as — as honored as I am by your faith in me, I’ve looked at every angle. There — there’s nothing that connects the phone to the evildoer — or to anyone, for that matter. The only connection that exists, of course, is to you as its possessor. Well, can’t you mine the metadata or something to tell us where the phone was purchased? Or when? Maybe someone remembers esme from the store. Yeah, she’s hard to forget. Alas, the phone has very little data on it. It was only used twice — once on the night in question and then to send the e-mail blast, neither of which offer much information. What — what about the serial number? That’s unique to the phone, right? Yeah, it is. It is, yes. But according to the serial number, this phone doesn’t even exist. So did you do a lot of camping as a kid? Not a lot a lot, but enough. Oh, my gosh. There was this one time mac took georgie and me — georgie — your sister georgie. The original georgie. Yeah, she was an original. I bet — the ogg.

[ Chuckles ] Anyway, the trip was a disaster. It rained the entire time. Our tent had seen better days. Oh, no. Water was leaking in on the sides, and georgie, of course, insisted that I sleep in the middle. That’s love. Or she would rather get soaked than listen to me complain. Right. I think she was right. I think you need to be somebody who works at nasa to figure out how to use these instructions. Voil. Stick with me. You’ll be just fine. Yeah. I’m starting to see that. Scott said that michael was violent towards women in open court, and you just sat there. Carly, we were in court. Did you want me to get up, grab baldwin, and throw him against the wall? No, no — I mean, I don’t — sonny. It’s what happened after — after there was a recess. You didn’t go check on michael. You went to nina, and I watched you touch her face. Come on, carly. This… no, your son weathered a vicious attack, and you consoled the woman who initiated it. I don’t know you anymore. The man I loved, that I fought for, that I married five times, would have never done that. He’s gone. The man who came back from nixon falls is a stranger.

Okay. I’m confused. So there’s no phone? No, no, the phone does exist physically, as — as you well know. Do I ever. Yeah, but just according to the serial number, it never made it to the store. So it was stolen. Or lost in transit. Let’s go with stolen.

[ Sighs ] We should have known esme would be too smart to leave a paper trail. Look, I’m really sorry I-I couldn’t offer more help. I appreciate you trying. No, this is insane. Trina, we were there that night.

[ Cellphone chimes ] There needs to be something that we’re forgetting. Something that esme did that can now be seen as suspicious. I’m not giving up on the phone angle yet. Where would you go to buy a hot phone? Oh, uh, the highsider. What’s that? It’s a — it’s a bar on —

[ Clears throat ] Yeah. Somewhere that two underage amateur sleuths should not be. So feel free to share your theories with scott, but please do nothing else. Understood?

[ Groans ] Cam’s doing a great job covering for the other kids’ sakes, but something is obviously up. Yeah, he just got some bad news about a — about a friend. You know, I asked him if he wanted to talk, but he said he wasn’t interested. Cameron strikes me as an open, personable young guy. He’s not the sullen teen type. He’s not. If elizabeth was here, he’d talk to her. Elizabeth’s not here. Of that, I am acutely aware. I mean, you’re the only option. So try again. If at first you don’t succeed… actually, I might have a better idea. No, man, there’s no trouble. Alright? This is just how I live my life. Gig-to-gig, paycheck-to-paycheck. Sometimes, there’s a fair amount of time in between each one. Why don’t you just get a steady job?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. The — the demand for a full-time skydiver isn’t as robust as one might think.

[ Laughs ] That’s why I’m always moving. Got to go where the money is, you know? Right. Well, look, man, if you need — if you need 500 bucks, I’ll loan you 500 bucks. You can buy me a drink, you can let me sleep on your couch. You can even bail me out of jail in a pinch. You’re not gonna pay my way, okay? I don’t want to owe you like that. Never did, never will. You cannot have unpacked everything already. Oh, I did. I did. What gear did you bring? Uh, I brought this and I brought a bedroll. Get out. I don’t want to get out. I like it here. You don’t even have a tent? No, the forecast was for clear weather, and I like to sleep under the stars. Okay. So what do you have in there, anyway? Please tell me you brought toothpaste. I brought all of the necessary essential items. Yeah. Yep. Phew. And I brought a change of clothes and, uh…I brought this. A guidebook for the state park. Mm-hmm. I thought you knew every inch of these woods. I do. That was my dad’S. Oh. Yeah. It’s all his notes and his comments from every trail and every campsite. That man knew every inch of this place. That’s really amazing. Yeah. So when I’m here, it’s like he’s here with me. It’s great that you have such a special reminder of jimmy lee. He loved this place, and he tried to teach me the same appreciation. Like father, like son. Pretty much. I’m glad that I’m here. Yeah, pitch-in-in-a-pinch for the win.

[ Laughs ] Right.

[ Laughs ] I’m glad you’re here, maxie. That, uh, gesture… of support that you showed nina stripped away… any illusion that… you know… you had a family who adored you. And you threw it away. Okay. You gave up on us, I didn’T. No, I didn’T. I walked away after I found you in bed with nina, sonny. I begged you — I begged you for weeks.

[ Sighs ] You pushed me away. You said you wanted to move out. But let’s be honest with each other. You were punishing me.

[ Scoffs ] And the night that — that you didn’t show up… I was a wreck. I slept with nina. Absolutely wrong. And I am so, so sorry that I hurt you. But you… you wanted a divorce. You wanted us to end, and you ga– you gave up on us. I did not. I never gave up on us. I asked for time, and you wouldn’t give it to me. And you were lying to me for months, sonny. Months! And you — you wouldn’t know anything about lying?

No, no, no. This is a disaster. Wyatt: May I be of assistance? Oh, my gosh. Where did you find it? Next to your car. Wyatt, thank you so much. You’re an angel. I was only following pc pioneer guidelines. “When breaking camp, always recheck the area.” Does that usually include parked cars? We moved your gear. I thought that was a little like breaking camp, so I thought I’d better check, just to be safe. Well, I’m really glad that you did. This is my toiletry bag. It has my toothbrush. It’s important to maintain dental hygiene while camping. Yes, it says so on page 15 of the pc pioneer handbook. You memorized the handbook? No, not yet. But my daughter georgie and I, we’re working on it. It takes a while, but it’s definitely worth it. That lesson is true for most worthwhile things in life, wyatt, so if you’ve learned it already, you’re way ahead of the game. For you. Thank you. And for you. Thanks. You’re welcome.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Did i interrupt something? Dante just kindly offered to help me out, but I let him know that I’ll get the money on my own. Okay. I don’t mean to pry, but is everything okay? I mean, are you in trouble?

[ Chuckles ] You two are obviously made for each other. Okay. For the last time, there’s no trouble. I’ve got plans, okay? What kind of plans?

[ Chuckles ] For my future. I’m not gonna live life like this for the rest of my life.

[ Chuckles ] Alright? Uh, yeah. I’m saving up for my dream. Which is?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] You want to answer that? No. It’s just brad. He’s checking on me. He thinks I’m clinically depressed. Oh, come on, shouldn’t you reassure him? No, I want to make him sweat a little. He was the one who took a video of me at the metro court pool. Wait a second. Brad is the reason you’re a meme? A gif. Yeah. Let’s make him suffer. Yes.

[ Chuckles ] Wow, man. A working ranch of your own. That — that’s cool. Yeah. I’ll raise cattle, break horses. You know, live the dream. That’s why I’m trying to save every penny I can. Which is why you’re gonna take a four-hour bus ride to watkins glen instead of renting a car? Bingo. Buying a ranch, that’s quite a goal. I’ll make it happen. But I thought you said you couldn’t stay in the same place for too long. Just needs to be the right place. I heard you’re, uh, worried about your friend. Finn tell you? No specifics, but… I mean, it’s not really a secret. One of my best friends is involved in a pcu title ix investigation. They found her guilty. They found her responsible. Right. I — to be honest, the whole process is confusing. Well, as a college professor, I’m pretty familiar with the title ix guidelines. I could probably answer a few questions if you want. Really? Sure. That would be great. Thank you. And now I-I do have to depart. Duty — duty calls. Thanks for meeting us, spinelli. You’re the best. Now I’m also nervous. I feel like I’ve said too much. We’ll tell scott our theory. Okay, and not take matters into your own hands? We won’t do anything stupid. Josslyn. We won’T. I’m trusting you to use your common sense here.

[ Scoffs ] I’m my mother’s daughter, spinelli. Precisely what I’m worried about. Oh. The highsider. 483 water street. What are we waiting for? Let’s not forget, when I came home, my wife was married to my best friend. We thought you were dead. That’s one way to mourn. It’s not like jason and I fell into each other’s arms the next day. It took a year for those feelings to develop. And why is that, sonny? Let’s not bring nina into this. It’s impossible. That’s impossible when all roads lead to her every single time. Jason and I would have never gone there. Never if we thought there was a chance that you were still alive. And I would have never been with nina if I didn’t lose my memory. And why is that, sonny?! I mean, my god! Your refusal to hold her accountable is astounding. What nina did was wrong. I hate the pain she caused the kids, the time apart. But I was furious with her. For maybe five minutes. Okay, but you know what? The feelings I had for nina in nixon falls happened when I didn’t know who I was. I had amnesia. I came home, I still had those feelings. I didn’t want to have those feelings, but I couldn’t shake them. The lie that nina told was wrong, but the connection that we had was real. And you chose that connection over your family. No, I did not. You and — you and michael did, ’cause you guys have shut me out. Michael’s trying to tear me down. He wants me to be forgotten. Those were his words, and you’re cheerleading for him. Michael’s a grown man, so if he wants to cut you out of his life, that’s his decision. Just like it was my decision as an adult to file for divorce. Right? But donna’s a little girl. And as her mother, it’s on me to look out for her. Okay.

[ Sighs ] You’re not keeping donna from me, are you?

[ Sighs ] Last chance. For? Buying me a drink. Tempting. I’ll pass. Wait, does this mean you’re leaving town? Tonight. Yeah, it’s still a no. Mm. You don’t give an inch, do you? Makes it that much more unbelievable you’re gonna let society setups off the hook. You know, I thought you were someone who would stand up for yourself. I guess I was wrong. Wow. That is one weak attempt at reverse psychology.

[ Chuckles ] Really? I thought it was pretty good. I grew up surrounded by master manipulators, so… mm. Sounds interesting. Thank you. Thank you. It wasn’T. Mm. Good luck. I just hate to see someone leave the game with money on the table. Something you would obviously never do. I’m not that dumb. You know, if you have a problem with society setups, handle it yourself. Wyatt: Hi, dr. Finn. Hey, wyatt. What’s going on? I’m a junior counselor for the pioneers now. Alright, moving up in the world. What — what about everything else? How’s school? It’s great. I’ve decided I want to study music. That’s right. Are you still playing, uh, cello, right? Sometimes, but now I’m really into guitar. I’m leading the sing-along at the campfire tonight. You should come. Huh. Singing, huh? Sorry. I know that’s a lot of information. It’s all good. I-I think I understand a bit better now. Thank you. Thank finn. He’s the one who suggested I talk to you. He did? Singing, huh? It’s gonna be great. How about we go to the port charles grill for dinner? Rain check? I’m sorry. I just — all I want is my sweet, sweet bed right now. I feel like I could sleep for a week. What? I don’t know, maybe brad’s not totally off base. You do sound a little down. No, I just — just need to recover from last night and this morning. I should get going. It’s good to see you, man.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Business is so much better conducted outdoors, wouldn’t you say? Is this why people close deals on golf courses?

[ Laughs ] Absolutely. Oh, uh, speaking of bogeys, um, sorry the talk with ned didn’t go well. Eh, landed in the rough, but we got plenty more holes to play. And that is the official end of the golf metaphor. It’s getting a little weird. Yeah. Tell you what, once we show ned this, I think he’s gonna have a little bit of a change of heart. Is th– is this right? The 52% increase, that would mean that the company is — “skyrocketing,” I believe, is the term you’re looking for. It’s incredible. Who’s buying all these shares? You’re welcome. Hey, dex, listen, something’s come up. Personal. Yeah. Um… I’ll get back to you with the instructions. Gentlemen. Sorry for the interruption. Commissioner ashford, how can I be of service to you and the good people of port charles today? Actually, I’m here to speak to mr. Grey. Your office told me where to find you. Yes. They said you were on your way. Well, thanks for the heads-up there, martin. Well, we’re not doing anything criminal till 4:00. I thought it might be a nice surprise. Commissioner ashford, how may I — how can I help? I got a call from the bureau. It’s about your brother. Surprisingly, ava isn’t asking for much. Uh, define “not much.” Well, in exchange for a weekly allowance from my trust fund, all I have to do is remain at wyndemere. She wants you to stay? Thanks, grandmother. My self-esteem can always count on you for a boost. That is terrific. Honey, I’m just trying to keep up, that’s all. The last I heard, you and esme staying at wyndemere was causing friction. So what changed? Ava: I don’t need presents. All I want is for us to be open and honest with each other going forward. Oh, I totally agree. That is why I found the perfect way to thank you for giving our marriage a second chance. What’s that? I want a divorce. A divorce?! What happened to working things out? Don’t you see? This marriage of ours… there’s no saving it. It’s dead. Esme: I’m playing the long game, waiting for just the right moment for ava to learn about nikolas’s infidelity. I see. I knew you’d understand. Indeed I do. That hurts. It’s meant to. Because words can’t possibly express my disappointment. Hi. I’m hoping you can help me. My name is felicia. I know who you are, mrs. Scorpio. You do? Before I retired from the force, I worked under your husband. He’s a good man. I couldn’t agree more. What can I do for you? If you would just listen to me. Your plan is good, but mine is better. Just who do you think you’re fooling?

You did it? Yes, I told you I would. Wait. Does this mean — look, michael, I know you weren’t sold on the idea of my investing in aurora. I specifically asked you not to. I know, but I think the big picture here is really important — the stock. Is soaring. Is that because of you? Well, aurora’s traded on the open market. Anyone can buy in, and I just made sure the right person did. It’s not like I could have stopped her, man. Yeah, thank god you didn’T. Aurora shares are a hot commodity. Okay, um, how many unique investors did we acquire today? I can tell you that.

[ Clears throat ] Uh… well, um, not as many as we would have liked. It looks like carly did buy the most significant percentage of shares. Just how many shares did you buy, mom? So, what has cyrus done now? There’s strong evidence that cyrus could not have been responsible for the attack on you and the mayor when you were in protective custody. Huh. You know, laura confronted him about it. She said he insisted it wasn’t him. She said he seemed genuine. It appears that, for once in his life, cyrus was telling the truth. So who’s responsible for the attack? Unfortunately, the bureau’s investigation hasn’t yet determined who targeted you. Which means there could still be a threat. Does my sister know? I spoke with the mayor before I reached out to your office. That is important. Thank you for the update, commissioner. Give me a call if you have any information or concerns. Oh, I will. Huh. Well, full half of the glass, maybe my brother found religion after all. You don’t have to laugh this off on my account. You can admit you’re worried. Jordan: Mr. Corinthos. Hey, commissioner. Just wanted to say a quick hello. Now you have. Okay. You take care, then. Oh, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You know what? Um… you have something of mine, and I want them back. I don’t blame you one bit for having whiplash. Suddenly, ava’s determined to fix her toxic marriage and work things out “as a family.” God knows what that means. When not too long ago, she was, you know, willing to bribe me with my trust fund to move out and take esme with me. Oh. Wait a minute. Come on. Ava was gonna bribe you to move out? Yeah, it was the exact same deal but in the opposite direction. She was gonna give me five figures a week to take esme and go. You can only imagine how father felt. He was furious. Not to mention hurt. Mm. Oh, come on, now. Put down your animosity for just a minute. Pick up a little thing called empathy. I was willing to make things work with my father anyway. If ava is going to give me money for an inevitability, why shouldn’t I take it? Spencer, your relationship with money has always been problematic. I realize that. Do you, now? Yeah, you’ll be happy and proud to know that my priorities have changed. Really? So what’s most important in your life now? You just said our marriage is dead. I take it you have questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. Starting with, what the hell is going on? H-how can you say that you want to fix our marriage and then seconds later say that it’s dead? Because our marriage, the one that we’ve been struggling with, it’s been in the death throes for a while. And now that we’re ready to move forward, we have to let it go. Are you leaving me? If you’re leaving me, just say so. Of course I’m not leaving you. I’m doing the exact opposite. By ending this marriage. You want a divorce? We can clean the slate, remarry. For real this time. For keeps. You may think you look all harmless sitting there in your chair. But your eyes, ryan, they give you away. Dr. Chamberlain is here to receive medical attention, not visitors. And you are? Esme prince. And you are? You’re not a nurse. I work at spring ridge. I’m assisting the patient today. You mean inmate. Dr. Chamberlain, do you want this visitor here? Are you sure? One blink for yes, two for no. Is that right? It is. And for more complex communication, you use a board with letters. Is that right? Yes. Got it. Well, looks like you’ve been chatting away one letter at a time. You may be locked in, but as long as you have the ability to express yourself and share your poisonous thoughts with another living being, you are just as dangerous as you ever were.

What, me worry? Why should I be worried? Hardly my first go-around as a marked man, is it? Martin, you just say the word, I’ll get you round-the-clock security. Really? You’d do that for me? For you? No. But you handle my affairs. I can’t risk that information falling into the wrong hands. You are a sensitive son of a bitch, aren’t you? Well, much as I appreciate the offer, I’d have to say no. I’m not really worried about myself. I just don’t want anything to happen to laura. You two have grown pretty close, haven’t you? More than close. We’ve become family. Do anything I have to to protect her. So tell me about these new priorities, spencer. Well, I do not like ava still, and I’m not sure that I ever will. But I can recognize that she is important to the people who matter to me. And if my father loves her… …then that is something that I can learn to live with. Good. I mean, really, really good. And it’s about time. I thought you’d think so. Yeah, I do. I am glad that you have finally realized that you don’t have veto power in your father’s marriage. But you know what? I’m still bothered by something. I don’t understand this arrangement that you have with ava. Grandmother, the deal is to live there. That’s it. Making up with my father is my choice. So reconciliation is free of charge? If it’s costing anybody, it’s me. Of course it is. Spencer, do you really think that you’re gonna be able to reconcile with your father with esme around? I don’t know who you think you are, but if you don’t leave, I’m gonna have to tell the guards you’re harassing him. Who do you think let me in here? Besides, ryan told you he wants me here. You see, we go way back. Don’t we, ryan? One for yes. So, how much time have you spent with ryan? Enough. You may think you’re helping him and doing a service for him, but he is a homicidal psychopath. I’m familiar with what dr. Chamberlain has been accused of. Why do you keep calling him “doctor”? He lost his license to practice before you were born. And for good reason. -If you say so. -Oh, I know so. And he maimed and manipulated and tortured and tormented. You should be very careful. He’s very good at getting what he wants from people. I’ll take that under advisement, ms. — I’m sorry. I didn’t quite catch your name. Scorpio. Mrs. Felicia scorpio. And how do you know dr. Chamberlain…felicia? Do you want to tell her, ryan, or should I? I did not want you taking this big of a risk. But it’s my risk to take. And I respect that. I-I do. But how much is liquid? I met with my financial adviser and I took a calculated risk. Which is not really an answer. It’s the only answer you’re gonna get. Wow. You guys, aurora needed a jump start, and I wanted to speculate. And look! It’s already paid off for all of us. Yeah, it’s paid off. So far. I think it’s time to give credit where credit’s due. I have a ship sitting in the harbor, and every minute that it sits there, I lose profit and goodwill. And may I ask, what’s the cargo? Coffee. And it has a shelf life. Take it up with the harbormaster. Well, I thought because you were so gracious to come over here and say hi that I’d take it up with you. The harbor patrol, they still work with the pcpd, right? They do. But dock bureaucracy is hardly in our purview. I’m sure they’re just dotting their I’S. I’m just asking a simple question. What’s the holdup? I honestly don’t know. And I’m afraid I can’t help you, sonny. Of course you can’T. I don’t know what’s worse, people who — who watch you burn or people who light the match. This isn’t about the harbor patrol or the pcpd. What’s really eating you, sonny?

forget about it. You know what? I’ll — I’ll let my lawyers handle it. I heard about the hearing. It’s front-page news. When you testified, you knew you were letting someone down. That couldn’t have been easy for you. Yep. Well, tell my son that. You want to talk about sons, let’s talk about mine. You talking about your doctor son? And when he first arrived in port charles, did it occur to you or anyone that medicine would be his path? You know, tj was an angry kid. Angry, troubled, rebellious, especially towards his mother. And now look at him. Got to be proud, right? I am. But it was a long road. There were moments where I wasn’t sure we would ever get through, but we did. And I’m sure you will, too. You know, I appreciate this talk, but it’s different. Tj wasn’t hell-bent on… destroying you. Here we go. This calls for a toast. Oh, hear, hear. Yes. Come on. I’m not happy about this. But I appreciate it, if that makes sense. Look, you guys are doing something huge. I’m just honored to be a part of it. I guess there’s only one thing left to say. To you, mom. Yes!

[ Laughs ] And elq and to aurora. May they long reign together. Oh, and here’s to finally being rid of valentin cassadine. Cheers. Cheers. I can definitely

appreciate thedesire to protect one’s family. And a willingness to go to any lengths to do it. Valentin, everything alright? It will be, once the vote at elq goes my way. About that, what’s the probability ned’s gonna come down on your side? I mean, honestly, shouldn’t you and i be formulating some kind of a plan b? A plan b? No, there’s no plan B. Ned goes against his family and comes over to my side or it’s game over. But I’m not worried. ‘Cause he will. Given how ava feels about esme — hates. Ava hates esme. Well, and that makes me think that esme’s presence won’t make anything easier. Mm-hmm. For whom? Anybody. Much to our mutual shock, ava and I are both willing to compromise. Now, as for esme, I am going to ensure that she doesn’t stand in the way of progress. Uh-huh. You sound very determined. I am. And for several of the right reasons. Hmm. Just don’t let money blind you from the lessons you learned when you were without it. I won’T. Really? Well, if that’s the case, then maybe you won’t give up your job. Here? How many jobs do you have? Well, cameron can tell you that I certainly don’t have the patience for serving. He covers my shifts all the time, cleans up my messes. I’m certainly no great loss to this institution. Hmm. I’ll take your word for it. Speaking of cam, how’s his mother doing? See, now, that’s something that I think you should ask him yourself. I’d love to. I just, um… not sure what to say. Well, you can start with, “how are you?” You know, then move on to, “how are your brothers doing?” And then, “how’s your mother doing?” And you can keep “I’m your friend, and you can say anything to me” in your back pocket in case you need it. Well, grandma, you make it sound easy. You’ll never know until you try, spencer. I would like to see you work things out with all of your friends. And trina, too. Trina and I don’t have a friendship. And we never will. Not as long as I’m with esme. You want a divorce just so we can stay together? Exactly. That seems like a lot of extra steps just to end up in the same place. I want us to be on equal footing. Not just emotionally, but financially. Well, we’ve already torn up the post-nups. As far as romantic gestures go, that was quite unforgettable, actually. Divorcing without precondition entitles you to half of my assets, excluding what’s entailed to spencer, of course. Does any part of this appeal to you? There was a time it would have. Not anymore? Nikolas, we’ve just come through one of the biggest challenges of our marriage. You know, we’re still working our way back to each other. We haven’t even… slept together yet, you know. Is that what this is about? That’s not a problem. I mean, we consummated our marriage. We can consummate the end. No, it’s not — it’s not — it’s not about sex, really. It’s about something much deeper. What happens if we sever this union and we’re not strong enough to withstand another challenge? If we untie this knot, there’s no guarantee that we’ll tie a new one.

You know, trina may not be able to be friends right now. And can you blame her? You chose esme. I didn’t want to choose, but esme kept forcing the issue. She can be… territorial. Mm. She’s insecure. She’s alone in the world. Oh, is that what she told you? Yes. I’m sorry. It’s okay. She did tell me that — that she, uh, never knew her biological parents and that her adoptive parents were distant and cold. You know, maybe that’s part of what drew you together. Both of you grew up without a mother. Yeah, maybe esme would have made different choices had her mother been in her life. That’s — that’s rich. You know, you can have empathy for esme and not allow her to control your life. That’s exactly right. Mm-hmm. The key to esme is her past. Ryan harassed and stalked me for years. Before his infatuation with ava, I was his obsession, and that’s the short version. Mr. Chamberlain, is that true? What’s he saying? Well, let’s see. U. B… O… M. He’s saying, “you’re the bomb.” Oh. [ Chuckles ] Yeah. That’s ryan’s version of a joke. See, once upon a time, he crashed my wedding with an active explosive device. Is this young woman your new fixation? Remember, he was obsessed with ava jerome. So he put a knife in her daughter. That’s what he does to women. And he also left his brother to rot in an asylum for months. If he’s willing to do that to his own blood, what might he do to you? I’ll bear that in mind. I’m not exactly sure why I came here in the first place. Maybe it was to see if you’re still a threat. But mostly to show you that many of your intended victims are still standing. Whatever you do, don’t let him get in your head, because the moment that you have served his purposes, he will turn on you, discard you, and probably kill you. It’s not like he hasn’t done it many times before.

[ Door closes ] I know you’ve got a good heart, just like your father. I appreciate your faith, grandmother. I know that me and my father have both let you down, but here you still are. Where else would I be? City hall, maybe, for one. The mayor of port charles shouldn’t have to expend so much energy keeping her grandson out of trouble. The people I love are the best part of my life. I’m right where I should be. Well, if I got my heart from my father, I’m sure that he got it from you. I love you very much. I love you, too. And I promise that I’m going to protect and honor the people who have stood by me. And I will become the man you’ve always told me I can be. I know you will. But now you got to get back to work. I’ll see you later. Okay. How do you really feel? About what my mom did? Uh, you know, angry she did it. Pleased it’s working. There’s something else going on. What is it? Just she invested so much. The pressure is really on us to succeed more than ever. Now we’re in a better position to make that happen. Better, not certain. Okay. So you want me to present the new information to ned? Mom brought up some good points. Right now… we need all hands on deck, not just ned. Well, then… let’s go shore up some prospects. Lucy coe, this setting definitely suits you. Hmm. Hello, there, gentlemen. Michael: Would you like a drink? I would love one. I’ll have what he’s having. As you wish. So…

[ Sighs ] …How’s life post-ipo? Mm. Well, I would love to say it’s all yachting and purchasing vineyards, but no. This — this moment, to tell you the truth, this precious little moment right here is the first break I have had in weeks. No rest for the wicked, huh? Well, I am certainly that. That and savvy and resourceful. With an impeccable sense for business. Wow. Thank you. Look at you two. Okay. Clearly there’s a pitch here, so let me hear it. Aside from loving our kids, I believe parents have two jobs. The first is to raise decent, functional adults. The second is to never give up. What about if… they give up on you? If you’re as tenacious about reconciling with michael as you are about reclaiming that coffee shipment, this stalemate should end soon. Hello, jordan. Carly. Sonny, sorry to keep you waiting. I appreciate you coming by.

Jordan, before you go, are there any developments in trina’s case? I wish I had better news. So what, that means she could go to prison? We all know that esme set her up. Unfortunately, I can only testify to the evidence, not on my personal convictions. I understand that. Don’t give up. These roadblocks don’t last forever. What’s that all about? Eh, nothing, just something — something that’s going on at the docks. Okay. So, uh, you called. I’m here. Are we gonna have it out? We’re not gonna have it out in here. Oh. Alright. The winds are changing at elq, and we want to know if we can rely on your support. Oh, that’s right. There’s a shareholders meeting real soon. And last time, you voted with valentin, and we would love to shift your allegiance to us. Has valentin done a bad job? Valentin’s an effective businessman, but he’s not a quartermaine. It’s a family business. And we believe it is better for the bottom line when a member of the family actually runs it. Hmm. Okay. So just suppose I do decide to back you and this return to nepotism — not judging, by the way — what is in it for me? Can you keep a secret? Oh. Soul of discretion. Well, aurora and elq are merging. Which could portend even more growth potential for deception. Aurora commands a significant, uh, percentage of the market share. With elq, that is only going to expand. Your loyalty could mean nearly nonexistent advertising rates and a significantly higher budget for marketing. Not to mention a much wider global reach. So, wow. You two do drive a very hard bargain. So, what do you say? Can we count on your vote? You know, valentin, if the quartermaines do beat you at this game, you had a good run. It’s not as though you’d have lost to an unworthy adversary. I’m not giving up elq. I’m not suggesting you give up. I’m just saying there’s more to life. I mean, it’s not like you need the company. If the vote goes sideways, you could — you could spend more time with charlotte, take up surfing, focus on that beautiful but dangerous super-spy lady friend of yours. What’s the matter with you? When did you become so defeatist? No, no, no. Make no mistake. I’m not — I have as little intention of losing as you do. You sure about that? I’m just pointing out that it’s not the end of the world if this thing goes south. Matter of fact, if it does, no reason we can’t, too. I hear playa del carmen is lovely this time of year. Okay, you listen to me. You listen close. When nikolas and ava took wyndemere from me, I was at my lowest. And no matter how trivial it seems to you, elq has been my salvation. Message received and noted. Failure’s not an option. No, it is not. Not now. Not ever. You know, a marriage isn’t like an etch a sketch you can shake and start over. Our history will still be our history. Our mistakes will still be our mistakes. All of our triumphs and failures, they will have led us to the same place. Ava, please. Can you just trust me when I say starting a new chapter is the best way to move forward?

[ Knock on door, door opens ] Hi. [ Chuckles ] Hope I’m not interrupting. Spencer told me I could find you here. Mother, perfect timing. Ava and I have some good news. Oh. I hope. Well, I-I hope it’s that you have decided to work things out. It’s good to see you at home, ava, and that you’ve made a commitment to making your decisions together from now on. I know i have. Ava? I know you mentioned felicia, but it seems like you left out a lot of details. Because licentious, duplicitous women like felicia aren’t worth mentioning. She’s one of my great disappointments. Don’t end up on that list yourself. I did what you asked of me. Not all of it. You haven’t told ava that you slept with nikolas. And why not? And don’t tell me it has anything to do with the younger cassadine. If I had exposed nikolas’s infidelity right away, it would have exposed my agenda. Once they find out what I’m up to, it’s game over. They’ll form a united front, I’ll be kicked out, and nikolas and ava will be stronger than ever. And we don’t want that, now, do we? No, we don’T. And I know this is the last thing you want to hear, but ava and nikolas are genuinely devoted to one another. One betrayal may not be enough to split them up. Which is why we need to compound this. Make their split truly and utterly irrevocable. You may have a point, but I’m getting anxious to move on to the next phase of my plan. I need to spread my wings. Mm, and you will. It’s just a matter of time. I hope you know what you’re doing. Trust me, daddy. What I have planned will blow that family apart once and for all.

Thank you. I have to tell you that you two have definitely given me and my little, tiny, measly 1% a lot to mull over. We would appreciate a commitment as soon as you can give one. Valentin can’t beat our offer. Hm. I will… be in touch. Ta, boys. Think she’ll bite? I think she’s tempted. I mean, thanks to carly, the stock is on the rise. We count on lucy, we win ned over with the numbers… then we’re sitting pretty. Well, thank you for lunch. You’ll be earning it. I want you working around the clock to make sure I stay ceo. Ooh. Well, if that’s the reason for this little repast, maybe I should’ve ordered myself the thousand-dollar caviar burger with gold leaf. You know what gold leaf tastes like, martin? It doesn’T. You’re better off with the frittata. So says the last of the big spenders. In that case, I think I’ll get myself a doggy bag, eat the burger alone, and bill you anyway. You don’t have to finesse me into doing my job. Martin, there is one last thing we need to discuss. Ah, yes, my lovely lucy and her pivotal 1%. I told you, she’s already promised it to you. Yes, she has. And it’s the prerogative of a woman to change her mind like the weather. And I’m afraid a mind like lucy’s may be a perfect storm. Valentin, I promise you, I will do everything I have to to persuade her. You do that. You persuade her. And once lucy and ned help keep me on as ceo, then those who think they can control me will be in for a hell of a reckoning. I stepped away for a few minutes. My daughter, my granddaughter, maxie and bailey louise jones — they’re still upstairs with the doctor, but they should be done soon.

[ Elevator bell dings ] So how did quitting go? Official, this is my last shift. Cam was not happy, but family comes first. Meaning your deal with ava? Meaning you, doofus. You are my family. It’s nice to hear you say that again. Yeah, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long. I hope you know you’re my family, too, spence. Of course I do. Come on, what’s more important than family? So no more aprons, no more solo horseback riding on the cliffs. I want to spend every single free minute that I have right by my baby girl’s side. Laura, our conversation helped clarify my thoughts. And you were absolutely right, as usual. Nikolas and i have both made mistakes. But we’re ready to put that behind us and — and move forward together. Um, begin a new chapter. That is music to my ears. Together, we will forge a future where no problem is insurmountable and where love will truly conqueror all. But first, we have to get divorced. Thanks for meeting me. You said it was about the kids. It is. They’re, um… well, it’s a very difficult time for them. And in many ways, it’s easier on donna and avery because they’re young and they don’t fully understand what’s going on. They just want to know that their family still loves them. And I know that we’re all trying to reassure them of that. I mean, josslyn has been terrific. She’s spending tons of time with them, even though she’s got a lot going on right now. I love, you know, josslyn. She’s like a daughter to me. Despite what — what michael said. What’d michael say? Well, he said that, you know, after the divorce and what went on with nina that, uh… I basically threw away my relationship with my kids and… can you believe that? Yeah, I can believe it. And I agree.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

are you sure we have enough marshmallows and chocolate for the s’mores? Oh, this is definitely enough for the entire month. It’s only a weekend trip. I love seeing everyone pitching in together. Oh, we’re going to aiden’s port charles pioneers rally. Oh! Well, what a wonderful idea. Elizabeth is going to love hearing that you’re all going on a camping trip together as blended families. I’m late for work. I, uh — I think maybe I should go talk to cam. No, actually, I’ve got this. When you are visualizing vectors, do you do it in “a,” one dimension, “b,” two dimensions, or “c,” three dimensions? Okay. Um, vectors. Vectors. Visualizing vectors. Is it…”a”? No! It’s “B.” Ugh! “B,” two dimensions, babe. Oh. Who am I kidding? I am never gonna pass the mcats and get into med school, and I’m never gonna fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor! I remember I said the same thing when I was going through this.

[ Sighs ] Yes. But you were still young when you became a doctor. And you had more time and energy. Well, I don’t know what to tell you there. I mean, I haven’t invented a time machine just yet.

[ Laughs ] True. [ Sighs ] Well, okay, look. At the very least, do you have any study tips? Someone did help me once. They said, “don’t think about it as a test. Think about the questions as if you’re dealing with an actual patient — someone that came to you for answers.” And that did the trick? Yeah, it did. It reminded me of why I wanted to become a doctor in the first place. And it wasn’t to do good on some tests, it was to help people. Well, then it looks like we came to the right place. Cameron, a-aren’t you gonna go with everybody else on the camping trip? I got my hands full with my job here, my second job at the metro court pool. Not to mention damage control with joss.

[ Sighs ] Look, I-I don’t want to pry. But, cameron, it’s summer after your freshman year in college. Don’t you think you deserve to have a little fun? I don’t know, roughing it out at pautuck state park is just not my idea of a good time. Not a fan of sleeping in a tent, huh? Or is it maybe the fact that your mom won’t be there? “Confidential message from the office of the dean of students.” Okay. Look, we don’t know for sure if this is bad news.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. But one way or the other, once I open this e-mail… my life won’t be the same. You are way off base, ava. I’m back with esme. Are you trying to deny your feelings for trina? I don’t owe you any explanations. You know how much trina means to me. So I want the truth. What kind of game are you playing? You can’t be serious. Ava can never find out that I — that we… made love? Keep your voice down. I’m only saying if the guilt of it is too much for you to bear and you need to unburden yourself to ava, you won’t be alone. I’ll stand right by your side. Felicia. I take it maxie and bailey lou are still upstairs with the pediatrician? Yes, they are, and when they’re finished, I was hoping you would join us for a family dinner. Sounds good to me. I can’t get enough of that little angel. Yes. Everything is new through a little one’s eyes.

all good. I’m sorry. I know that you miss your mom. Hey, we all do.

[ Sighs ] But I know you also feel the pressure to earn money and be the man of the family. But don’t you admire what finn is doing, trying to keep things as normal as possible for jake and aiden, for violet, too, for that matter? We can’t pitch a tent in the woods and pretend everything is normal when mom is suffering.

[ Sighs ] Your mother chose to get help, and she’s working on getting better. Okay, but we don’t know how long that’s gonna take. I-I-I don’t know what to say anymore when jake and aiden ask why they can’t see their mom. Things will not get better until mom comes home. We came here today to get my father’s bandage changed and maybe have another scan. I heard about your mugging, marshall. I’m so sorry. Oh, my son, he came to the rescue.

[ Laughs ] He, uh, made sure everything went alright. Well, I’m not surprised that curtis came through for you, but I’m sorry he didn’t get there before you got injured. Well, I may look the worse for wear, but you should see the clarinet.

[ Laughter ] Look, let me show you to your room and I’ll let your doctor know you’re here. Thank you, nurse johnson. No, thank you, doctor, for the tutorial.

[ Laughs ] Well, when I left you at the house, you and your father certainly had a lot to unpack. Yeah, a whole suitcase full. If you don’t feel comfortable talking to me about any of it, I mean, we can talk about it another time.

[ Exhales sharply ] Well, I don’t want to talk about it. But I have to. Because what I learned, it might affect you, too. We can do this. Let’s do it.

[ Sighs ] Oh, no, trina. Yes, I care about trina. But my loyalty is to esme. Why is that so difficult for you to understand? Why would you care about trina if you think that she’s the one who hurt your friends? While claiming that esme is behind that revenge porn? Doesn’t that make you angry? I don’t have to explain myself to you. I’m in control of your trust fund, spencer. It was my decision to give you an allowance, but what I give, I can take away. So out with it. What are you up to? Esme, we have both been given second chances — you with spencer, me with ava. The last thing we want to do is to throw those chances away, right? If you can forget what happened between us, so can I.

[ Sighs ] Ava took the first step towards reconciliation, and I need to find a way to reciprocate. Are we talking diamonds or rubies? None of the above. I know ryan can’t hurt me because of his condition, but still. Wait here. Wait here. Officer cabrera, what’s he doing here? Uh, the desk sergeant gave me this assignment to provide backup for the spring ridge guards during transport. The patient is undergoing a series of tests here at G.H. Is there a problem? Unfortunately, no. Everything seems to be in order. I know you can’t talk or even move a muscle, but you can hear me, so listen up. I know it’s legally the correct thing to do to offer you medical treatment, but if it were up to me, I would have taken you down a long time ago. All your victims, all the people you killed — you never gave them a chance to survive. So even though I can imagine you hate your life as a vegetable trapped in a body that can’t do anything, it’s still way better than you deserve.

[ Screams ] You never were very bright.

[ Screams ]

[ Spits ]

[ Gasping ] Felicia, so nice to see you again.

[ Screams ] Officer cabrera, escort the prisoner to the exam room and make sure the room is secure before you hand it off to the guards. Yes, sir. Let’s go. Hey. No, no. I’m okay. I’m okay. Evil like that — pure evil — it can’t win out. I wish it were that easy. You don’t happen to have a silver bullet, do you? No, but I have something better. A baby. Hamilton, how’d it go at shadybrook today? Violet told you? Nothing gets past her. No.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, elizabeth, she’s, uh — she’s getting the help that she needs. Why do I sense there’s more to the story? She made it pretty clear that my presence there was making it worse for her. She kind of asked me to leave. Hey, there we go. Ready for this? When I saw your mother in the clinic, she had only one concern — you three boys, not herself. But isn’t that the problem? Shouldn’t her entire focus be on herself and getting better?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, uh, when you get older and you have kids, you’ll see that you never stop worrying about them or putting their needs first. But you’re right. She should be focusing on herself right now, but she won’t be able to do that if she knows that you’re putting your life on hold. That will add to her anxiety. So me going on this stupid camping trip might actually make her feel better? Is it really stupid to spend some time with your younger brothers right now? You know? Go for a walk in the woods, maybe run into a family of deer — just anything to distract their minds from what’s going on with their mother? I guess. You guess. Well, you like finn, right? Yeah, sure, I do. Okay. Well, I know everybody says that hamilton finn is a — is a genius who can cure incurable diseases, and they’re right, but he’s also a human being, and he could use your help right now. I know your mother was counting on you to help out right now. If ever there was a time for a family to come together, it’s now. So how does marshall’s story affect me? Well, it affects you because it affects me. Now, I don’t think I’m betraying any confidence by telling you this. Marshall is well aware that there have been too many secrets, so he’s okay with me telling you everything. Well, I’m — I’m — I’m here to listen, so take all the time you need.

[ Sighs ] After you left us at the house, marshall opened up. I mean, it was like — it was like someone had finally opened the window and let the sunshine in after a lifetime lost in the dark. I mean, he just let it all out. All those years he was away from us, thinking that he was protecting us… and in reality, all the while, he was suffering. And if tj hadn’t have found those pills — the pills that I found you holding? Yeah. After marshall was mugged, the doctors in new york asked if he was on any medication. Now, I know he takes heart medication, but I don’t know what kind or what dose. Tj and I, we had the key card to marshall’s hotel room, so t went up to his room to look for the pills. Now, we were just trying to help the doctors with any information we could. What? A-are you saying that marshall’s heart condition is worse than he initially let on? No. I’m saying that there was no medication for any heart issues. Tj found antipsychotic medication. All these years, marshall has been taking medication… …for schizophrenia. “This is to inform you that you have been found in violation of regulations enumerated under title ix.”

[ Sighs ] “You will be contacted by the dean’s office to schedule a meeting, in which time sanctions against you will be stipulated and possible expulsion will be addressed.” Okay. Well, we still get to meet the dean, so there’s a chance that they’ll impose sanctions while allowing you to stay enrolled at pcu. Thanks for trying to stay positive, but…

[ Sighs ] I don’t need a pep talk. Actually, I-in a way, this decision did me a favor. A favor. How? It’s like climbing a high diving board. It’s so much scarier to climb back down rather than just to take a deep breath and jump. Okay, but what are you jumping into? The way I see it, if anyone’s going to clear my name and prove that I’m not guilty, it’s gonna be me. Okay, well, just know that you’ve got your family and you’ve got me, and, hopefully, cam.

[ Rory clears throat ] Hopefully there’s room for one more supporter. We’re in this together now, so tell me, what do you have in mind for ava? I mean, ava made a huge gesture by returning home to me. She even went so far as to accept you, to reinstate an allowance from spencer’s trust. Those are huge concessions. I have to come up with a fitting response. Well, I can’t wait to hear how the story ends. Here. This is for good luck. Even though I know you don’t need it. Ava, I am not up to anything. For once in your young, irresponsible life, you gotta be honest. Whose side are you on — trina’s or esme’s?

[ Door opens ] What’d I miss?

Oneand put it over and under. Look at that. Pull it tight. Whoa! Square knot. Okay? Saw what I did? Yeah, I think so. All right. Now it’s your turn. And remember, it’s okay if you don’t get it right the first time. Okay. Thanks.

[ Chuckles ] Your advice never changes, does it?

[ Sighs ] What do you mean? The whole, uh, “it’s okay if you don’t get it right on the first time” thing.

[ Chuckles ] You always let chase and i figure things out on our own. Well, if memory serves, you never, uh — well, rarely took my advice. Very true. But I’m starting to. You know, instead of hovering over elizabeth, I’m taking the boys and violet on this camping trip. That’s very healthy, very mature. Mm. But if I know my son, and I think I do, you’re already planning some other way to help elizabeth, whether she wants it or not. That’s not fair — you bringing up mom’s expectations of me. Not when I’ve been disappointing her for a long time.

[ Sighs ] Cameron. Look, cameron, please don’t do this to yourself. You know, you made a mistake just like everybody else. Your mother is really, really proud of you. And beating yourself up right now is not productive, okay? You’re just gonna get bogged down with all of that, and then you can’t be present to help anyone else. Right? What sense does that make? Really, the best thing that you can do right now for your mother is to go on that camping trip, spend some time with your younger brothers. So what do you say? You don’t have to stick around until the doctor shows up. Did it ever occur to you that I might have another reason for sticking around?

[ Sighs ] The last time I saw you, it was, “hello. Goodbye. Have a nice life.” Look, I thought it was for the best. Best for who? You encouraged me to go for my dream of becoming a doctor. And then when I take you up on it, you’re outta here. Not so much as a postcard from the road. Are you telling me you’re going for it? What?! Epiphany, are you grabbing that brass ring? With both hands.

[ Laughter ] You may have run away from your family, but I’m not running away from my future. I may have run away, but if you’re not gonna hide from your future, I can’t run away from my past. That’s right. I’m back to face it, and I’m back to stay. When you spoke to marshall, did he happen to mention when he was first diagnosed with this? It’s been at least 40 years ago. You know, I’ve been saying this all along. There is more to marshall’s story, and I was right. And this explains everything. Marshall walked away from his family because he was protecting us. This was never about some unknown enemy. He was protecting us from himself. So as long as tommy and i believed that he was dead, that was marshall sparing us from the pain, the grief, from the stigma of that disease. Yeah, well, 40 years ago, a-a lot less was known about that condition. Can you imagine the courage it took to walk away from your family to face that illness alone? Or the courage, even more so, to come back and tell the whole truth? It is very, very brave. Um… did you happen to mention if — if he’s had any recent episodes? No, the medication keeps it under control. You know what? I believe that marshall’s biggest fear isn’t what he’s about to do, but what he’s already done by passing on his dna. Now, I’ve read that this disease can be passed along genetically. Is that true? Do you always listen in on conversations and wait for the right time to make an entrance? People say a cop is never around when you need one. Well, now you can tell them they’re wrong. Okay. Well, sadly, I couldn’t get ahold of cam, but I’m glad you’re here. You know, pcu may have made a decision about the title ix findings, but there’s still time before a judge has to rule trina’s case. I’m on the clock right now, but once I’m off duty, we’ll come up with a strategy to exonerate trina. Okay, guys, look, I am touched by your support, but if there are any clues to find, I need to be the one to find them. I can’t involve a member of the pcpd, and I can’t involve you and cam. I need to do this one on my own. Cameron is expecting me at kelly’S. I admire your dedication, son. Even though you’re able to draw an allowance from your trust fund, you still feel an obligation to your friend. That’s our spencer — loyal to a fault. Your timing is not great. I was so close to finding out what spencer is up to with esme. What makes you think he’s up to something? Well, he’s a cassadine, isn’t he? And we’re all gonna be under the same roof. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do to try to get along with your son. But unlike his father, spencer’s choice of female companion leaves an awful lot to be desired. What’s wrong? I know that fragrance. It’s esme’S. So we’ve been dancing around this topic for a few weeks now and we never seem to go there. So, uh… let’s go there. Are you saying that you… that we… are you pregnant, felicia? Oh, god, no! Oh [Chuckles] Is that what you thought? No, no. What I meant was, is that we have bailey lou, a new life of hope and promise. Ryan has nothing. No one except his own twisted self. Then you’re not upset that we’ve never had a baby of our own? Absolutely not. You helped me raise two beautiful daughters, and that’s good enough for me.

[ Elevator bell dings ] I’m here to visit mr. Chamberlain. Sorry, no visitors for this patient. Wait a minute. You intern at spring ridge? Yes, I do. Dr. Gould asked me to sit with the patient in case he needs to communicate. Hello, daddy. I’m about to make all of your dreams come true.

You know it’s difficult for me to fight the impulse to solve a problem. And in elizabeth’s case? I’ve been thinking about… reaching out to her parents. What’s that? No — no opinion? That’s not like you. Are you genuinely asking me for my opinion, or have you already made up your mind? Cam, I’ve got great news. Hi. Hi. Grandmother, I didn’t know you’d be here. Oh, well, don’t let that stop you. You’ve got great news. Let’s hear it. Yes, there is a genetic component to schizophrenia. But your father’s condition isn’t necessarily something that you would inherit. Well, that’s a relief. And I think marshall will be relieved as well. There are so many…factors that could have gone into this diagnosis, and medicine — medicine’s come a long way in 40 years. Whoever treated your father back then was just learning about what they were dealing with.

[ Sighs ] But still… still? W-what are you not saying? If you wanted to be absolutely sure, you could go in for genetic counseling and testing. Lo ok, trina, I admireyour courage and independence, but you’re gonna need more than that to prove your innocence. Let us help you. I appreciate that, but I can’t involve anyone else. Trina, it’s a little late for that, okay? I’m in this, too, not only as a victim of revenge porn, but as your friend. Look, this is happening to both of us in different ways, and we need to work together. Screw it. Let’s just go straight for esme. Okay? We’ll make her tell the truth. And when esme accuses us of assault? Fine. You can stay here. I’ll take my chances. No, you will not. Neither of us are committing a crime, not even to save me from a crime I didn’t even commit. Well, you know all the right words, but fair or not, the burden of proof is still on you. And that’s why I need to find a way — my own way — of proving that esme set me up. It’s no shock that esme’s perfume lingers here. She just stopped me outside. Really? What did miss muffet want this time? Now that she and spencer are back together, esme hopes that you and i will forget the past, and we’ll be closer than we ever were before. And you believe her? I believe esme wants to be with spencer.

[ Laughs ] Ehh. Or spencer’s trust fund. Maybe both. But esme realizes that if things are gonna work out between her and spencer, our happiness — yours and mine — is essential. Hmm. Happy wife, happy life. Is that it? You took the words right out of my mouth. Your plan is working to perfection. The fuse has been lit and it’s only a matter of time before it blows up ava and nikolas’ marriage. What did you do, esme? Let’s just say I made nikolas an offer he couldn’t refuse. Pray tell. What did you offer him? Me.

No. I haven’t made up my mind, which is exactly why I’m asking for your opinion. Look at your daughter. Mm-hmm. See what she’s doing? She’s tying the knots that you taught her. Yeah, and then she’s untying them. I didn’t teach her that. That part she figured out on her own. Serves me right for having a teacher as a father.

[ Chuckles ] Actually, could cameron and i have a moment alone to talk? Oh, sure. Well, anything that you can say to me, you could say to our grandmother, starting with why you were late for work again. Well, you told me that I had to choose. Oh. And did you? It’s all taken care of. Good. Because I am going camping. Are you gonna be able to take care of everything else here? No. I’m sorry, cam. There’s been a change of plans. In order for me to take care of everything, I don’t have time to bus tables. Consider this my notice. If there is any chance that I can inherit my father’s condition, then I want to know all there is to know about genetic counseling. I-I can put you in touch with a specialist. Okay. The more you know about your father’s condition, the — the better prepared you will be to help him. Help him. Right. Uh, well, if it’s one thing I found out the hard way, is that there’s a very fine line between helping and interfering. So before I commit to anything, I’ll wait for the okay from marshall. Of course. Yes, I-I understand. I mean, unless it means that much to you. Oh, honey, I-I want you to do what’s best for you. You know what? You’re amazing. You’re always thinking about other people and not yourself. So if it means that much to you, baby, say the word and I’ll speak to the specialist. Okay, trina, before you say anything else, this is where I get off. Because you’re a cop. Well, the less I know, the more freedom you have to do what you need to do. All I can say is good luck…to esme. What? What are you talking about, good luck to esme? If you and trina are coming for her, esme needs to look out. You know, I like that guy. You know, we can’t sweep our problems under the rug. We went off the rails because we didn’t trust each other enough to be completely honest. I admit, it was wrong of me to invite spencer and esme to live here without consulting you first. And I admit that while spencer and i have reached a kind of détente, esme is a different story. Forget about esme. Speaking of happy wife, there’s something I want to give you. Just you and me is more than enough. And this year, our annual christmas newsletter is embarrassingly filled with all of our blessings, and we can add bailey lou this year. Sounds good to me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Oh. Right. [ Sighs ] Is it about ryan? No, they need me at the station. Oh. But it shouldn’t take long. Can I, uh — can I meet you at the restaurant? Well, you know, I’m a cop’s wife. I’m used to waiting. Hey, and don’t worry about ryan. The only place he’s going is back to spring ridge. You had sex with your boyfriend’s father? The plan was to break nikolas and ava up, wasn’t it? If there weren’t guards outside this door and I wasn’t handcuffed to this chair, I would hug you. So tell me everything. How did ava react when you told her? Esme, you did tell ava that mewling idiot she married cheated, didn’t you?

You know, curtis, you’ve gone your whole life without knowing anything about your father’s mental illness, so there’s no rush. You know, there’s no rush to see a genetic specialist. And you and your father, you’ve been doing so good lately. [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Why don’t you wait? Why don’t you talk to him and see what he thinks about it? Thank you for understanding. As soon as I get the all clear, I’m taking marshall home. Home. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It sounds real good. Home.

[ Giggles ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Exhales deeply ] Yes. Hi. This is, um, dr. Portia robinson. I would like to set up a consultation with one of your counselors, please. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I have a few questions that require a, um, genetic specialist. I can’t believe we’re back to square one with esme. Not necessarily. Wait. What? You have a new idea? Yeah. We need to forget about breaking up esme and spencer. We need to break down esme’s story to prove that she’s the guilty one, and I know exactly how to do that. I don’t know where your doctor could be. Epiphany, wait. We have some unfinished business, too. I thought you said your clarinet was damaged. Instruments can be repaired a lot easier than people can. Besides, we, uh, never got around to that second date. Are you asking me out? Are you saying yes?

[ Both laugh ] Hamilton, I know how much you want to help elizabeth, but I think the best thing you can do for her is take care of her boys and trust elizabeth to know what’s best for her. Grandpa! Grandpa! I did it! Hey! Good job. You’re quitting your job? Well, yeah. Ava restored my trust fund allowance. I think I should probably be able to get by on $10,000. $10,000 a year? No, cam, per week.

[ Door opens ] Come on, cam, it’s time to go. We have a trip to get to. Lo ok, spencer, you’reon the schedule tonight. I have no one else to cover for you. Finish your shift. I gotta go. Okay. Yeah. No, I guess one last shift won’t hurt. Bussing tables is a lot easier than living at wyndemere with esme, ava, and your dad. I hope you know what you’re doing. Thank you, grandma. Oh, thank you. You made the right choice. Have fun. Okay. Grandmother, say something. Laura: Well, I’m just wondering if ava has given you back your trust fund allowance, what are you giving her in return? Nikolas, I don’t need presents. All I want is for us to be open and honest with each other going forward. Oh, I…totally agree. That is why I found the perfect way to thank you for giving our marriage a second chance. What’s that? I want a divorce. I’m playing the long game, waiting for just the right moment for ava to learn about nikolas’s infidelity. I see. I knew you’d understand. Indeed, I do. That hurts. It’s meant to. Because words can’t possibly express my disappointment. Ah, anything on tap. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about my friend over there. What about him? Well, you know the $100 he gave you? He really didn’t mean anything bad by it. It’s just the other day when you gave him pretzels instead of peanuts, he had this stupid idea that you liked him. I do like him. Come again? I like him a lot. You’re talking about that guy right over there? Yes. Spence. The reason I got so upset about the money, I thought he didn’t respect me. So you’re saying that you could really get serious with him? Yeah. Well, what happens if you guys hit it off and get a place together? I mean, what about his roommate, huh? Huh? What about the car they share and the joint chec king account? Um, I don’t even know what to say here. Excuse me. So? Sorry, bro. She ain’t into dudes. What?! Yeah.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

carly. Hey. Oh, great. You got my message. Yeah. What’s up? Well, I mean, it’s been a while since we’ve talked about your investigation into esme, and trina’s trial’s coming up, so… yeah, it’s even more important that we nail esme for making the video of joss and cam and putting it online. Right. So, what do you got? Fond or fraught? Your thoughts. Whatever they are, you’re totally absorbed. Wanna share?

[ Door closes ] Disappeared on me again. I promise not to make it a habit. I was just mailing a letter. So you haven’t changed your mind and decided to move out? Why would I do that when things are so much better between us? I thought you might have regrets about last night — agreeing to live with my father and ava. No regrets. Your father’s just been wonderful. Well, like father, like son. Something like that. Hey. Hey. Busy day. No more than usual. I got a client coming to pick this up later. Okay. Well, can you talk? Sure. What’s up? We are leaving port charles. You agree that I should suefor what you did? Never thought I’d hear you admit guilt. I’m recording this for posterity. No, no, no, no, no. You don’t want to sue me. I’m not the one you have the problem with. You made an unsafe parachute landing, dragged me in the pool. I was drenched…

[ Chuckles ] …Hemmed in by the parachute. I could have easily drowned. I’m pretty sure my problem is with you. All right, well, while you can drown in a few feet of water, most of the victims tend to be either unconscious or alone. And you were neither. Well, maybe we should let a jury decide. Here — look, you’re going about this all wrong. You don’t want to sue me, and you don’t want to claim some near-drowning that did not occur. No, what you want to do is go by the classic tale of corporations trying to take advantage of the little guy, or gal. Now, britt, you tell me. You the type of woman to stand for that? No!

[ Pills clatter ] What the hell just happened?

I have a lot on my mind since yesterday. I do, too. I can’t believe how close we came to ending our marriage. I’m just…relieved that we came to our senses before we jumped off that cliff. You left early this morning. Is everything okay? Yeah. I just had some work at the gallery. Did I wake you? No, it’s just nice having you in my bed again. Sleeping in the same bed feels like an important step, even if we are taking things slow. We have some things to work out. And we will. I know. I know we will. I love you too much not to. Mm. I love you, too.

[ Door opens ] Love is all around. Isn’t it wonderful? I’ve always wanted to study abroad, and I just figured, why wait, you know? We’ve been through so much freshman year. Going away just feels right. Sure does. We can head to europe next spring. That sounds great, joss — look, volleyball season will be over. You know, submissions — they’re due early next semester. Florence and barcelona — they’re my top two picks right now. They’re both great. But, you know, there’s other options that we can explore. Joss, stop. Why? I thought you’d be into this idea. I would love to go to florence or barcelona. But by next spring, I could be expelled from pcu or in prison. Probably both. I may have a lead on someone close to esme. Okay. Greetings and felicitations, lovely ladies. How are you two delightful women doing on this glorious day? More new clothes, huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, do they meet with your approval? They’re nice. Nice. That — that’s — that’s the most gracious compliment you can muster? Nice? Uh… well, I was really used to your old look. Oh. Well, new look, new me. Hey, did, uh, sam tell you about the occurrence at the society setups event yesterday? Uh, the hotel staff filled me in. A skydiver crashed the party. Yeah, and straight into britt westbourne. Who was completely unharmed, by the way. Um, but I — the advent of the skydiver, right? It was — was pretty wild.

[ Chuckles ] What’s even more wild is the skydiver happens to be an old friend of dante’S. They went to summer camp together. His name is cody, but dante whisked him away from britt. And the three of us had dinner at charlie’S. Oh, wait, you did? I — I’m p-pretty sure I saw — pretty sure I saw dante put handcuffs on him and take him to the pcpd. No, no, it never actually got that far. Dante acted like he was arresting him for britt’s benefit. Oh, thank goodness. I-I just mean it wasn’t that poor man’s fault that he fell into britt. He didn’t do it on purpose.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. Ooh. Uh, gotta take this. Yes? Is it just me, or is there something off with spinelli? No, it’s not just you. I noticed it at the fundraiser. Something is definitely off with spinelli. And it’s not just the wardrobe. I’m listening. What happened to you was wrong. My stunt never should have gone that far. And you know whose fault it is? Yours.

[ Chuckles ] I was a mere cog in the corporate wheel.

[ Scoffs ] The corporation being? Metro court, of course. Yeah. I mean, they were supposed to protect my landing zone. Instead, they let you and anyone else just walk right through. Did they hire you for the skydiving stunt? No, no. That would be society setups. They actually rented this whole place. They engineered the stunt, lured lonely schlubs like yourself here with free drinks… excuse me? Who calls anyone a schlub? …And orchestrated this dangerous marketing ploy in front of a party full of vulnerable losers. T-the metro court is responsible for the safety of all of its guests. The corporations have all the money. You need to take back your power, lady. Sue their socks off. It’s aspirin for my headache. Gladys: Aspirin? Right. Aspirin. Why did you slap it out of sasha’s hand? Well — well, the — the baby shoes were delivered, and — and — that she — she backordered them before liam, um…

[ Stammers ] And brook lynn took them… and she’s gonna donate them to charity. Sasha, I’m — I’m so sorry. I’m fine. Hey, it was just an accident. It’s no big deal. I’ll get a broom. But it is a big deal. What did you think sasha was taking?

Hey, we’ll talk about spinelli in a minute. I was about to give you an update on esme. Great. Come on. Sit down. Okay. Okay, so, you have a lead? Well, it’s a long shot, but esme had a nanny who helped raise her after her adoptive parents died, and apparently they were pretty close. Sounds promising. Yeah, I just — I haven’t been able to locate the nanny yet. Do you have her name? Maggie fitzgerald. I’m working on tracking her down, but all I have is that she was somewhere in london, and I don’t have an address yet. How did you find out about this maggie fitzgerald? Well, I have a source who is very familiar with esme’s upbringing, and the source said that esme and maggie had lost touch at some point. But this person also tells me that there’s more to the story. That’s great. Do you think this nanny will give us some dirt on the real esme? Yeah, well, I’m hoping so. I just have to track her down first. Well, can’t you ask your source? Who is it, anyway? Sorry for intruding. Esme and I should have knocked first. No need. This is your home. And I’m glad you decided to stay, even if you were bribed into doing so. Mm. The important thing is that we’re all here together. I totally agree, ava. Any big plans today? I was thinking car shopping. Since I’ve regained access to my trust fund, I’m looking for something new and italian for my girl.

[ Chuckles ] But first, esme and I have some errands to run, so… and, uh, we really must get going. It was nice seeing you. Ava: Not so fast. No one is going anywhere. Not until we hash things out. I truly believe that you’re gonna be found not guilty, especially because cam and I are gonna testify on your behalf. Look, I’m not trying to make light of the trial. I know that it’s gonna be rough, but this will give you something positive to look forward to. I mean, even if you’re right, there’s still a title ix investigation. You have a copy of the report. You know how bad it makes me look. Yes, I know. I flipped out when I read it. My mom made me sit down with diane because I knew the whole thing was total bull. I wanted to do something to correct it. What did diane say? She said that it was a finding of facts, so I can’t challenge anything in there if I wasn’t misquoted in my interview. And you weren’T. Oh, I’m afraid I wasn’T. But diane also said that just because something looks bad, it doesn’t mean that we know what the determination’s gonna be.

[ Sighs ] I’ve been so afraid of getting expelled. I’ve been only reading the worst in the report. Look, diane also told me that there’s no guarantee that pcu’s gonna expel you. You know, they could decide to offer you a sanction, you know, suspend you for a semester. I don’t know. Maybe. I-I told rory I just need to not think about it, just look for a distraction. Wait. You told rory? Why? What would you do if you were me? Oh, no, no, no. I’m — I’m not gonna go there. Oh, humor me. I’m giving you permission. Okay, well, hypothetically speaking, first I’d hire a good lawyer. Then I’d find a killer witness. There were a lot of people at the party, and the whole thing was recorded. Yeah, I mean, I was thinking someone more directly connected to society setups, someone with insider knowledge, you know, someone who could really hold up when their feet are put to the fire. Someone like you?

[ Chuckles ] You didn’t want sasha to take those pills. Why not? Gladys thought that I was back on drugs. The habit-forming kind. Your mother believes that I have relapsed. Why do you think sasha’s abusing pills? Because she knows that I’ve been having a hard time, with liam and then the accident with harmony miller, plus all the pressure from the ipo launch of deception. Gladys…overreacted. Um, some of sasha’s behavior triggered my memories of when you were struggling with addiction, how you would do anything for a fix. And when I saw sasha with the pill bottle, I got the wrong idea. And it is the wrong idea. I’ve told gladys before, there’s nothing to worry about. Wait, wait, wait. You’ve had this conversation before with my mother? Is that why you’ve moved in with us? Are you using again?

If your lawyer subpoenaed me, then I’d have to tell the truth. They’d probably want to know about zelda telesco. What’s a zelda telesco? You don’t know zelda? She’s the matchmaker who runs society setups. Ha! See — ugh. This company clearly cares more about lining their own pockets than getting you a date.

[ Scoffs ] Who knows how many other washed-up women zelda’s preyed on besides you? What’s your point? Point is, okay, if your lawyer subpoenaed me, I’d have to tell the judge about my meeting with zelda, the one in which my concerns about the skydiving stunt were left unheeded. And you would be eager to do that? No, no, I’m not eager. I don’t want bad blood with any employer. But I’d have to. I’d never lie under oath. Of course not. You get yourself a killer witness, you can win a big settlement.

[ Sighs ] And would this star witness want a percentage of my settlement in exchange for betraying their employer? I mean, who knows what motivates people? I know what motivates you. I told you, I’m not using drugs anymore. But I — I did move in because I was afraid sasha would relapse. And I wanted to prove to gladys that her fears were unfounded. Okay, why didn’t you come to me?

[ Sighs ] I didn’t want to worry you. And neither did I. Sasha I understand, but not you, ma. You’ve had no problems worrying me in the past. Don’t blame gladys. She confronted me with her suspicions, and I admitted I was having a hard time. Gladys was doing me a huge favor by keeping quiet. Look, if you were wrong about sasha, ma, why did you still move in with us? Because my mother wasn’t wrong. Okay. Um… listen, we’ll talk to dr. Collins, and we’ll find out what our options are together. Options? Yeah, so he can refer us to a good rehab facility or something outpatient here, maybe a group, whatever works — brando, no. Listen, you need all the support from us that you can get. I don’t need this kind of support. Listen to your wife, brando. You were the one that slapped a pill bottle out of sasha’s hands. I mean, you’ve kept things from me. What am I supposed to think? After all the lies you’ve told me, you owe me this one. Carly, you know I can’t reveal my source. You said it yourself that esme is dangerous. She’s crossed lines. I get it. I get it. You can’t risk esme finding out and retaliating, but if this was something I needed to know…? I would tell you. You’re worried about spinelli, aren’t you? It’s just, he’s not acting like himself. And then all of a sudden, he’s dressing like that. And that is not cheap. Well, do you think it’s because ellie left him? I don’t know. We haven’t really spent a lot of time together. Maybe he’s lonely, or maybe he’s missing his friends. But spinelli has always had his own unique style, which I loved. And this — this is… I don’t know. It’s different. It’s flashy, like he’s trying to be someone he’s not. Did you talk to him about it? Yeah, of course I did. He promised me nothing dangerous was going on. Oh. Well, that looks volatile to me. Rory and I hung out yesterday.

[ Chuckles ] Details, please. The only details that matter is that when he took me home — rory took you home? My dad was there and totally humiliated me… oh. …By telling rory that he’s breaking an unwritten rule of cop-dom by spending time with me while I’m waiting for my trial to start. What did rory say? Rory was great. But all the distractions in the world won’t change the fact that I have a criminal trial and a title ix investigation hanging over my head. I-I can’t visualize the future the way you do. I can’t think about classes or studying abroad or even this job and my friends. Not when things could be different by the end of the summer. Look, I don’t care what happens. I’m always gonna be here for you. And it sounds like rory will, too. If I’m in pentonville, the pcpd could order him to stay away from me. And while I appreciate your loyalty and support, I noticed that you left out cam. Yeah, well, I’m not sure if we can count on cam anymore. Ava: The four of us will be cohabitating for the foreseeable future. And I don’t think there’s a need to pretend there won’t be difficulties. Nikolas and I will be working on our marriage, and in the spirit of reconciliation, I think that we should all truly make an effort to get along. Absolutely. We should all want to be closer. And I, for one, am willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Whatever you say, ava. Thank you. Now, spencer and i have an arrangement. I give him an allowance from his trust fund in exchange for living here and working things out with his father. But I want to be clear about something. The allowance depends on how both of you behave. Ava, I-I’m confused, I thought the deal was between you and spence. Well, as long as you’re living here with spencer in our home, the deal must include you. Nice, ava. Just like you to change the terms of our agreement on a whim. Both of you have done horrible things to me and to people I care about. I’m just giving you a friendly warning. If either of you reverts to past behavior, the deal is off. You think I’m responsible for something that I-I didn’t do. What happens the next time your precious little trina lies about me? Are you kicking me and spence off to the streets? That won’t happen. You would do well not to mention trina’s name in my presence.

[ Chuckles ] I am not your puppet, ava. Don’t you dare try to control me. And if I do?

[ Indistinct arguing ] Should we step in? Yeah. Let’s go. Okay. Oh, ladies, uh, to what — to what do I owe the pleasure? Nice try, spinelli. I almost called security. Who was that guy? I — no — no one of concern. Uh, we saw what was going on, and it was very concerning. You are clearly in trouble, so I want you to stop lying to me and tell me what’s going on now. Did something happen between you and cam? It is nothing compared to what you’re going through. Forget comparison. There’s obviously tension between you and cam. You’re my friends. I care. So tell me all of it. Okay. Well… I think that there’s something cam’s not telling me, and he says there isn’t, but, trina, I swear there’s something going on. Any ideas? Well, it’s about spencer and esme. Cam’s attitude just makes no sense. He claims he knows esme’s guilty, but there’s never any follow-through. Well, cam gave spencer a second chance. Maybe he just feels stuck in the middle. No, it’s more than that. You know, cam’s not telling me something, and that’s bad enough. But what if he knows something that can affect your trial and he’s holding back? Why do you think he’d know something? Because I told him that we should break up spencer and esme, and he snapped at me and said we can’T. Did he say why? None of it made any sense. He just kept doing backflips to change the subject. And then later he texted me that he would set spencer straight about esme. Then I haven’t heard from him since. Look, we don’t need cam, okay? We can break spencer and esme up ourselves. You’re wrong. We can’t do that. Go on, esme. Tell me to go to hell, and then you can watch as spencer’s allowance dries up and he’s back to waiting tables at kelly’s, maybe with you taking orders right beside him. And why should you get to decide what constitutes good and bad behavior? ‘Cause I control the money. Okay, enough. I thought we were moving past the animosity. You and spencer — you came to an understanding. We don’t need to push the envelope. I’m sure that we can trust that esme will do the right thing. If we could, I don’t think she’d be so resistant. That’s enough, ava. I agreed to your terms. You’re the one changing the rules last minute to spite esme. But I love my father, and I don’t want to hurt him. So I’ll agree to your 11th-hour change. That’s fine. Thank you, spencer. All I want is what’s best for spence and mr. Cassadine. If you’ll excuse me. I need a martini. Maybe a double. I’ll get some ice. I was hoping you’d come find me. Who’s washed up now? What was that for? You really think I’m some lovelorn loser in the market to buy what you’re selling? Just trying to help. Help yourself, you mean? But I’m on to you. It’s gonna take a lot more than your pathetic pitch to get one over on me. Britt westbourne? Zelda telesco. I’ve been looking for you. Society setups zelda telesco? The one and only. I’ve been looking for you, too, cody. Yeah. Yeah. What’s going on between you and dr. Westbourne? Cody was just practicing his moves in preparation for his next party. Do you have my check? After I speak with dr. Westbourne. I gotta dry off, anyways. Let me buy you a drink and discuss yesterday’s unfortunate incident. Oh, you mean my total humiliation? That unfortunate incident? I’m here to make that all go away. When have i lied to you? After you came home from iraq and started using. Anyone with eyes could see you were spiraling out of control. But you insisted you were fine and said that

i was melodramatic for asking if you were taking drugs. You lied to me to my face every single day. I’m sorry. Yeah. So when I sawthe same signs in sasha and realized she was struggling, it scared me. I didn’t want to fail her the way I did you. And I thought I was also helping you because what’s best for sasha is best for you. Ma, can, um… can sasha and i have a minute? We made a vow, remember? For better or for worse. And I plan on sticking to that vow, no matter how dark it gets. I know. It’s one of the reasons why I married you. So please be honest with me. Is there any truth to my mother’s concerns?

I assure you both, there’s nothing to worry about. Too late. Spinelli, I’m worried. Hey, look, if you have crossed the wrong person, call drew. I know he will be happy to help. I mean, that navy seal background can be very persuasive, spinelli. Alright, I — that’s nice, but it’s — it’s fine. E-everything is — everything is under control. Spinelli, how long have we known each other? I mean, I know when something is wrong with you. Something is definitely wrong with you. I think that we should sit here and talk about it for as long as it takes. I think that’s a good idea. I’m seeing a therapist. Huh? Well, after my breakup with ellie, I — I’ve — I-I’ve been lonely, and I wanted to seek some professional help. So you meet your therapist here at the metro court? Well, that — that wasn’t my ther– that wasn’t my therapist. I, um — we were having a-a billing issue, and, um, doctor… my therapist sent a collection agent after me, and — and I surely did not handle that as well as I could, and that’s what you saw. But all — all is — all is settled now. All is — all is good, so, um… but time is a-wasting. Mm-hmm. So I must be off, but you — you two have a super day. Mm. Are you buying that? Not even a little. Breaking

up spencer and esmeis our best shot at isolating esme and proving that she framed you. Without spencer there to protect her, she’s gonna lose nikolas and victor and spoon island — and she’ll leave town because she knows she has no reason to stay in port charles. Esme knows she set me up. She knows we’re on to her. She’s also smart enough to know without the cassadines, she has nothing to fall back on when we prove her guilty. You really think she’ll just disappear? Slip through the cracks, hide away in some place where no one can find her, which is why spencer and esme need to stay together. But she set us both up. Trina, she put my private moments on blast and then framed you for it. What? We’re supposed to just let her get away with that? Now that you’ve had a day to process what happened between us, how are you feeling? Honestly, I’M… still a little overwhelmed. I’m sorry I let my emotions get the better of me just now. Ava took you by surprise. She has a way of doing that to people. Will our relationships ever normalize? I mean, everything’s so… complicated. Things are working between me and ava, just like they’re working between you and spencer. And what happened… between us — we were both hurting. We were looking for comfort, and… it doesn’t mean anything more than that. Right? Oh. Absolutely. I love spence, and you love ava. I meant it when I said they never have to know. I care about you, nikolas, and I don’t want what happened between us to complicate your life. Or yours. I’m going out later this afternoon. Do you need me to… pick anything up from the p-pharmacy? I have it all taken care of. I promise you, I want everything to work out. Since you felt free to renegotiate our deal, I have some changes of my own. Mm, don’t push it, spencer. Release me from my restitution at the gallery now. Why? Because it’s bad enough that I’m gonna be living here with you, forced to act civil, and now that extends to esme?

[ Exhales deeply ] I’ve repaid my debt to you. You haven’t begun to pay for the terror you put me through. You want esme to behave, don’t you? Working at the gallery with trina is only gonna provoke her more. After everything esme has done, her feelings are the last thing I care about. Then care about trina’S. You really think she wants me around while she’s with… that guy? What guy? Zelda: On behalf of society setups, I am mortified over what happened to you at our event. With all due respect, miss — zelda, please. You’re not half as mortified as I am. Being knocked into the pool by your skydiver — I won’t live that down. Cody is a bit rough around the edges. I should never have hired him in the first place. Whatever. I will no longer be attending any of the society setups events again. You’re frustrated that my service hasn’t been successful for you. How about I make it up for you by offering you the next six months for free and making you my top priority? I promise, you won’t have to waste any more time being alone. My check?

[ Sighs ] I’ll be in touch. Son of a bitch. Gladys

isn’t wrong abouthow much I’ve been struggling with deception going public right after losing liam and then the accident with harmony. Of course that tested your sobriety. But you didn’t have to hide it from me. I wasn’t using, so there was no need. I told you, gladys overreacted. Are you sure?

[ Sighs ] I don’t need that kind of help anymore. Not when I have this wonderful new life and the most amazing husband in the world. Including his shockingly caring mother-in-law?

[ Laughs ] Gladys has her moments. Believe me, brando. I — I don’t claim to be happy all the time. My life is good. My days are full of more good than bad. And right now,

you are my drug of choice. I’m still worried about you. And I need to do something about it.

I left to get ice. I should do that before ava wonders what happened to me. Then go. But, nikolas? I can tell keeping our secret from ava is taking a toll on you. And if you change your mind and decide that you need to tell her what happened between us, I’ll support you. You won’t be alone. The cop who’s been hanging around the gallery. Officer cabrera? He’s the one I’m referring to. Oh. The officer who is keeping trina from being harassed after your girlfriend made a sex tape of joss and cam and — and framed trina for it and then posted it for everybody to see — that cop? Cabrera’s interest in trina is far more than professional. And this creates such a problem for you that you — you can’t do your restitution at the gallery? Oh, so this attempt to work things out with esme — your heart really isn’t in it. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I love esme. Oh, you did, maybe, at one point. But I think now you’re — you’re far more invested in your feelings for trina. And they’re only growing. You don’t think that it kills me that esme believes that she’s winning? She’s not getting away with what she did to me, to us. But we’re playing the long game here, josslyn. And we’ve been going crazy trying to figure out how to get the proof against her. We just have to keep thinking. Something — something out of the box that we haven’t thought of before.

[ Cellphones chime ] It’s pcu. The title ix determination has been made. We should postpone our reception. Look, it’s one more stressful event that you don’t need right now. Life is stressful. But celebrating our marriage with friends and family would only make me happy. You aren’t just saying that? I want to show you off.

[ Laughs ] Besides…I love you. I love you, too. Okay. The reception goes on as planned. Thank you.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Mouthing “thank you” ] Check shorter than you hoped? Yeah, well, the deal was my skydiving fee plus hotel accommodations and amenities. Zelda shorted me the $500 in amenities. You need to know anything else about how this company screws people over? You spent $500 in amenities? All right, skydiving’s very hard on the body. I needed a massage, and you can’t have a massage without wine. Right. Probably shouldn’t be drinking alcohol. Massages are dehydrating, and tap water is free. You’re really enjoying this, huh? You have no idea how much. Not all of us are rolling in money. You could just sue. Good luck finding a killer witness as desperate as you.

[ Slurps ] Something wasn’t right about spinelli’s meeting with that so-called bill collector. Yeah, but spinelli seeing a therapist does make sense. We were just saying that he might be lonely. Yeah, but spinelli’s getting money from somewhere. I mean, what billing issues could he possibly have? I don’t know. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Big enough for the therapist to send a bill collector here to the metro court? I mean, come on. Therapists don’t do that. I mean, they call. Yeah, I know something’s not right, but what?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. You know what? We need to take spinelli out and have him open up to us. We’ll take him hatchet throwing. Okay. Yeah. That — that sounds like a plan, because it is not like spinelli to keep things from me. Yeah, but this is spinelli we’re talking about. I mean, he can’t be in any real trouble. It’s handled. Britt westbourne won’t be a problem.

[ Sighs ] Good. It’s important that no one knows what I’m really up to.

Update written by Suzanne

Carly goes to see Drew at the pool; they chat briefly about Nina. Carly has a flashback to getting the test results. Drew is so relieved that Nina is out of Willow’s life, since she’s not really her mother. Michael and Willow arrive. They mentioned that they dropped Wiley off at his swimming lessons, so they decided to take a little break together. She’s graduating soon and then will be very busy. Drew takes Michael away to chat about ELQ. Willow expresses to Carly how angry she still is at Nina for putting her own needs before Wiley’s. She mentions finding her bio mom, but says that after seeing how Nina act, she realizes that she has all the family she needs. Carly is glad to hear it.

Drew has a talk with Michael about merging ELQ and Aurora. They discuss Ned and how to handle him. Talk turns to Sonny. Drew is worried about what Michael has planned for Sonny. It’s clear that Michael plans to make him suffer. Drew notes that merging the two companies is not as easy as they had thought.

Ned and Olivia have bought a horse for Leo for equestian therapy. Leo loves the horse, so they’re very glad to see how happy he is. Olivia and Leo leave to go get some snacks for the horse. Meanwhile, Valentin drops by with some riding gear that Charlotte grew out of, for Leo. He mentions that Charlotte is still in boarding school. He makes it sound like it’s Charlotte’s choice. Valentin asks Ned again to support him for CEO. In exchange, he’ll share power with Ned and give him whatever position he wants, except for CEO. Olivia and Leo return, but Olivia sends Leo back to the house. Valentin leaves. Olivia is wary about whatever Valentin is plotting. Ned and Olivia talk about the ELQ power struggles. She urges him to go back to Michael and Drew to make a deal, which is what he’s good at.

Cassandra gets a text from Chet, which says that he landed. She looks distressed. She’s surprised to see TJ there. He decided to come in to work, even though he asked for time off. She knows that he’s having some family troubles, so she suggests that instead of endangering patients by working when his mind is elsewhere, he should just observe some surgeries. He readily agrees.

Curtis, Stella and Marshall return home. Portia greets them. Portia asks Marshall how he’s feeling. At first he’s a little curt with her, since he thinks she’s asking as a doctor, but then Stella prods him, so he apologizes. Portia says that he’s welcome there, and they’ve made up a room for him. He thanks her. Stella takes him up to show him the room, so that he can get cleaned up and changed. Curtis confides to Portia that he feels guilty for how things have gone with Marshall. He blames himself for how he ended up getting attacked. Portia assures him that it’s not his fault. He has Marshall’s pills from the hospital, so she offers to look at them (to see what they’re for), but Curtis figures that he’s invaded Marshall’s privacy enough. Stella comes back down and apologizes to Portia for how she lied to her before. Portia accepts her apology. Portia leaves for the hospital, so Stella advises Curtis to marry Portia because time goes by too fast. Curtis is committed to Portia but not ready for marriage yet. He tells Stella that he’s still recovering from his divorce from Jordan. Stella looks suddenly stricken (since she stole the divorce papers, and they were never filed).

Marshall returns and tells Curtis that he’s terrified now because he has to answer his questions. They sit down. Marshall makes it clear that it was his idea, not Irene’s (Curtis’s mother), to let the kids think he was dead. He explains that after he returned from Vietnam, he needed a purpose, which he found in protesting the war, civil rights, etc. Because of this, he was able to find his music again. Irene worried that he wasn’t getting enough sleep and was being paranoid. He felt like he was always being watched. He confesses that he had an episode, which was what led to him being arrested. The police put him in the psychiatric ward, where they diagnosed him as having schizophrenia. Curtis looks shocked.

Laura helps Elizabeth settle in at Shadybrook. Laura observes that Elizabeth looks rested. They talk about how she might be feeling, with her sleep medication wearing off. Elizabeth is mad at herself for accidentally taking too many and letting it overtake her life, but Laura points out that she didn’t have an outside perspective. Finn arrives, looking nervous and bearing flowers. Elizabeth is a little annoyed to see him because she’d asked him not to visit her. He looks hurt, so she explains to him that she’s very afraid of hurting him, like she did Chase. Laura says that they all know that she wouldn’t do that. Elizabeth explains that the doctors think she has disassociative fugure. She says she wasn’t ready to move on with him, like she thought she was. She still has to face what’s wrong. She tells him that when she’s with him, she feels like everything is great, but then she won’t be able to fix what’s wrong. Finn leaves but tells her that he’s not giving up on them.

Outside, Laura thanks Finn for coming. She tells him about her own battle in the past with mental illness and mentions that she had suppressed something from her past. He wonders if it’s more than grief that’s causing Elizabeth’s problems. Later, Cassandra sees Finn at GH and asks him if he saw Elizabeth. He explains that she asked him to leave. She is shocked to hear that. When she brings up Elizabeth’s grief, he wonders again if it’s more than that. He wonders if she’s suppressing something else. Cassandra doesn’t know of anything but brings up the fact that Elizabeth is estranged from her parents. Finn agrees to reach out to them to get answers.

Laura goes back in and chats more with Elizabeth, who’s afraid that she might still get arrested or sued for the things she did. Laura tries to reassure her. Laura wonders why the sleeping pills were in Elizabeth’s system for a year before any of the incidents occurred. She asks Elizabeth if anything happened more recently that she might have discussed in therapy. Elizabeth blanches and then abruptly says that she has to go lie down. Laura looks worried.

Valentin goes to the pool bar and trades barbs with Drew and Michael about this game they’re playing with ELQ. Valentin’s banter seems to bother Michael more than Drew. He thinks Valentin is planning something before the next shareholders’ meeting. Michael and Willow leave. Drew asks Carly if Willow is okay. She replies that Nina just got in her head. Drew praises Carly for being such a good friend. He says again how relieved he is that Nina’s not really Willow’s mom. Carly just smiles a forced smile. They joke around a bit about accepting her offer to help with ELQ.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andn’t want m wit your share of profits from the most recent games. Any one of your, uh, guys could have brought this. Why the special delivery? I needed to speak to you. Are you aware that the harbormaster was fired? Yeah. I heard. Vince was my point person when my shipments passed through port charles. You assured me easy passage for my merchandise. Without vince, will that change? Hey, brando. Are you coming or going? Ah, going. I just finished a workout. Is, uh, sonny around? You just missed him. Hm. Alright. Thanks. Yeah. Uh, dante. Uh, do you know sonny’s new guy? Dex? I mean, not really. Haven’t really spoken to him yet. Why? You know, I saw him earlier with sonny. I couldn’t hear everything, but they were talking about michael. It didn’t sound like good news. Well, sonny would never hurt michael, if that’s what you’re worried about. No, I’m not. It’s dex. It’s just… something about him. I’ve seen guys like him before in the service. You know, real eager to please the commander… or a boss. Sometimes taking matters into their own hands. You know, trying to deal with a problem to score points. You think dex might see michael as a problem he wants to solve — to try to impress sonny? I do. Well, things got pretty tense, which is about average for this family. I just… I’m hoping that you can come up with something better. Yeah, we’ll, uh — we’ll talk. Alright, bye. Can I help you? Hope so. What are you doing here? Showing initiative. Uh, hey. Brook lynn. I didn’t get a real chance to say hi at the society setups mixer. Yes, I see lucas, and no, he doesn’t mention your name. Thanks for the update. But, uh, th-that’s actually not why I wanted to check in. Cut to the chase, brad. You’re clearly working up to something. Just say it. Okay, uh… you’re big on social media, correct? I have a presence. So, uh, I was wondering if you happened to see a gif from the other night. Britt slogging her way, drunk and drenched

[Laughing] Out of the pool? Yeah, I saw it. Everyone saw it. Uh, j-just curious, um… what was the giveaway that britt was over-served? You mean wasted? Britt was drinking like a fish at the mixer. You would know — you kept refilling her drinks. I was trying to be a friend. Friends don’t let friends make public rants about how love is futile. If anything, that parachute guy actually saved her some embarrassment from saying something even more embarrassing. Now, the only embarrassment she has to live with is the existence of that gif. Any idea who posted it? I only sent it to one person. Oh, my god. It was you?! How could you do that to your supposed best friend? Suppo– britt is absolutely my best friend! Okay? A-and yes, in retrospect, it was a bad idea to send off that footage to an influencer, but… it was a little gif in a whole world of gifs!

[ Laughs ] Ah, classic. Britt: It’s character assassination. Plus, that video was taken without my knowledge or consent. Yes, I know it was a public place, but still! I want that gif deleted off the face of the earth! It’s a threat to my livelihood. I am chief of staff of general hospital. I can’t have my image smeared this way. Yes. I meant to say co-chief. Do you want to get fired? Since you’re so particular about details, find a legal one that fixes this before we both lose our jobs! Ugh! Gladys: Going somewhere? To the kitchen. To grab a glass of water. Need one? No, I’m good. You want a cookie? They’re delicious. I know. That is why I bought them. They’re for the deception support staff, to thank them for all their hard work. I was bringing them to work tomorrow. Whoops.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, well, I guess I’m support staff, too. Although I’m really suited for more. But you know what? There’s more cookies in the bakery box. Let’s just save them for brando. I’ll go get some more. Oh, I’ll come with you. No! Gladys, you won’T. You’ve got to stop. You’re driving me crazy.

[ Sighs ] Mother. I am sorry I’ve missed you — again. I’m going to keep calling until you talk to me. We both said things we shouldn’t have, and… …well, I don’t want to leave things this way. I’m not playing the autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder card, but… you said it — life is short. So call me. The new harbormaster will not be an issue. And what is the basis for your assurances? The basis is gonna be because I’m gonna handle the situation, you understand? It’s my territory. And have you forgotten who controls what goes on here? Me! I meant no disrespect. I’ve become aware that you have a competitor for your coffee business. Now the unexpected firing of your associate. Since we’ve agreed to keep each other informed of possible challenges to our territories, I think it only prudent to ask. Is someone new making a move? Michael: Did sonny send you? Mr. Corinthos doesn’t know I’m here. And I made sure no one saw me on my way up to the stable. Well, good. Make sure no one sees you on your way out. That was rude. Well, apparently not rude enough for you to get the message. This is private property. You shouldn’t be here. I’m not done. I came here for a reason. Oh, yeah? What reason would that be? Parachute guy’s back. Yes, by all means, gawk. Can’t say I blame you. He looks hot in actual clothes, too. I can’t disagree, and I have very high standards. He’s coming. How’s it going? Amazing. Uh, you guys mind if I join you? I forgot to book a chaise. Yes. I mean, no. I mean, we don’t mind. Please join us. I appreciate it. I’m cody, by the way. Oh, uh, brad. Or bradley. Whatever. Brook lynn quartermaine. You made quite the entrance the other night.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s work. I got to go. It was nice to meet you, cody. You too. If you have somewhere to go, you know, you don’t have to stick around for me. Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I-I have nowhere else to be. Just here. And, uh, brook lynn was right, by the way. That parachute landing was a real attention-grabber.

[ Laughs ] Right. Didn’t exactly go as planned. Still, people were buzzing about it. About me or the hot mess that fell in the pool? Uh… britt: I didn’t fall. You slammed into me. We meet again. I agreed to you moving in here, but I did not agree to you acting as my babysitter or warden or whatever you’re doing. W-what am I doing? You’re following me around everywhere. It’s like you’re afraid to let me out of your sight. I’m just concerned about my favorite daughter-in-law. Hmm. That sounds cute and charming, but we both know what’s really going on here, don’t we? Okay. Maybe I’m hovering a little bit too much.

[ Scoffs ] But it’s because I saw that paparazzo trying to tempt you with drugs, and I don’t want you falling back into addiction. I did not take the bait. And I’m glad. But since you won’t tell brando about the pills, I have to stay close so I can recognize the signs if you slip. I won’t slip. Says you. Who are you fooling here? Me or yourself? ‘Cause I’ve done this dance before. They say once an addict, always an addict. You have to stay vigilant. Precisely!

I have to stay vigilant. Me. You can’t do it for me. You can’t protect me from my addiction. Gladys, if you want to know the truth, I can get drugs at any time. In our business, there are people around everywhere, using or selling. You’d be surprised. Well, not if I have anything to say about it. Exactly my point. If I wanted to use, I could. And I don’t care how much you helicopter me or try to run interference. I would find a way, and it wouldn’t be difficult. I went through a rehab program, remember? After my heart attack? From that cocaine laced with dextroamphetamines that cyrus gave me? That was a wake-up call. I know that in order to stay clean, I have to want to stay clean. And I do. But isn’t it good to have backup?

[ Sighs ] Gladys… I appreciate your concern. I really do. I know that it’s coming from a place of love. But you have to believe me. I am completely fine.

[ Knock on door ] Did you order something? Wait. Still getting stuff forwarded from my old apartment. I’ll take these cookies back to the kitchen.

[ Somber music plays ] Sasha, what is it?

[ Sniffles ]

I saw you being led away in handcuffs. Why aren’t you in jail? Because I didn’t do anything wrong? You were arrested.

You were hammered. Maybe that’s why your memory is so spotty. How’s your head feel? Did you get enough water to drink last night before bed? Thank you. Um, you can just bill it to my room. I’ve got — oh, I forgot. I already checked out. Um, do you think the front desk still has my credit card information? Oh, wait. Hey, I got that. Could you just add this to my order and put it on selina wu’s tab? What are you doing? Just being friendly. Thank you. I appreciate it. Talk to you for a minute? Why do you hate me? What?! First you make me an internet laughingstock. Now you’re aiding and abetting the enemy. And since when are you comfortable living large off auntie dearest? Okay, that’s a lot to unpack. But first, I don’t hate you. Britt, I adore you. And I’m sorry. I-I was a little tipsy when I sent off that footage of you climbing out of the pool to a friend. And secondly, cody didn’t mean to knock you into the pool. Cody? It’s cody now? That’s his name, britt. And he approached me. He did? Mm-hmm. I, uh, didn’t see that coming.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, I wish. But sadly, uh, it’s nothing like that, alright? Brook lynn was with me, and then she took us. And you stayed to buy him lunch and a drink on auntie’s tab. Nothing wrong with showing some hospitality. Especially since, as I mentioned, cody didn’t knock you into the pool on purpose. Right. I was just in his way. You were standing awfully close to the edge when he landed. You mean when he literally dropped out of the sky in an unsafe manner? Unsafe, but spectacular! By the way, congratulations. You memory’s coming back.

[ Sighs ] If only I could forget. Is that supposed to be a joke? What kind of sicko would send those? I bought them while I was still pregnant.

[ Sniffles ] I thought brando would get a kick out of them. But they were back-ordered. I completely forgot about them. I’ll make sure they’re returned.

[ Sniffles ] I knew that they would be too big for a newborn, but…

[ Sniffles ]

[Voice breaking] …I figured that liam would grow into them eventually.

[ Knock on door ] Better not be more deliveries. Brook lynn. Hi. Come in. Gladys! You seem strangely happy to see me. What’s going on? They were for liam. Detective falconeri. And your cousin. It’s a family reunion. Did you invite this guy onto your property, michael? No. I don’t know who he is or why he’s here. Allow me to introduce you, michael. This is dex, sonny’s new hire. Ah, I see. Well, uh, dex, I think you took a wrong turn there. Must have. Have a nice day now. Okay. I’m going. Hold up, dex. You headed back to work? Yeah. Why? I think I’ll follow. Tell sonny about your, uh, bad sense of direction. You okay? Fine. What’d that guy want? Was he here about sonny’s problems with his coffee business? Look, dante, I said I’m fine. You can drop the whole “big brother” act. Just mind your own business. Don’t concern yourself. I’m taking care of the situation. I think I know the source. Which is…?

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m handling it. I’m sure you are. But if there’s anything I can do… ms. Wu, all due respect, like I said before, it doesn’t concern you. Leave it alone.

And don’t think we’ve skated past what you did to me by recording that humiliating video. Oh, uh, thank you. I’ll have another one. Same tab. And give yourself a nice tip. I’m still furious. I wanted to record what you had to say for posterity. I didn’t believe that excuse the first time, either. You did seem a little persuaded.

[ Scoffs ] It was just an act. For my mother’s sake. If she smells fear, I’m done for. Sounds like she’s just worried about you. Since when are you on my mother’s side? It’s not about sides, britt. It’S…

[ Sighs ] Never mind. What? Look… I get that you’re upset that I sent that video. I-I was trying to be, I don’t know, relevant or — or something. But it was wrong and not okay. And even though I was a little lubricated myself… I should have had my guardrails up, alright? I should have been looking out for you. Just like I’m trying to do right now. But you make it impossible sometimes. What are you talking about? Something’s going on with you, and I’m worried. You’ve been acting weird for a while now, and at first I thought it was about jason. And I’m sure that’s part of it, but there’s something else. We’re besties, right? Talk to me. Tell me what’s going on with you. For real. Sasha forgot she ordered them, and the package was delivered here. Must have been a real shock, appearing out of the blue like that. I’m fine. I don’t see how that can be true. Because it has to be. Really, I’m, uh — I’m okay. What brings you by? Just some deception business. We can talk about it tomorrow. I would love to talk business right now. What’s up? Um, well… lucy heard from the people over at home & heart shopping channel. They want to give deception a one-hour slot. That’s amazing.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. What do we have to do? Well, we don’t have to do anything except get you ready. You know, you’ll — you’ll — you’ll chat up the talk show host, you’ll talk up the products, maybe do a little demonstration. Okay. This is great. This is great. Ha! But we’re gonna have to increase our inventory. I love home & heart. They have a lot of viewers who like to buy. But I’ve seen stuff sell out in 20 minutes and then the host has to vamp for the rest of the hour. Awkward.That won’t happen. Oh, are you saying I have more faith in our products than you do? Oh, no, I have no doubt that our cosmetics will sell, but I will just make sure to remind maxie and lucy to bulk up our inventory before we go on the air. We’ll make sure that we don’t sell out. I’ll be right back. Where are you going? Bathroom, gladys. Please offer brook lynn some lemonade… and some cookies. So, gladys, how’s she really doing? Mind my own business? Michael, we came here because brando had a bad vibe about that dex kid, and it turns out he was right. Okay, he showed up here to either intimidate you or rough you up, and we wanted to make sure you were okay. Look, you don’t need to get involved. Well, it’s too late. I am involved. Okay? Dex is one of sonny’s guys, apparently. And, uh, sonny’s business has had some setbacks recently. Corinthos coffee lost some lucrative contracts, uh, the harbormaster abruptly was fired, and the new guy is, uh, being obstructive. Do you know anything about that? I mean, every business has its ups and downs, right? Right. Even sonny’S. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Listen, man… why can’t you see that you going after sonny just makes everyone’s lives worse? Is it all worth it just to try and humiliate our father? What’s going on? Dante and I found dex at the quartermaine estate with michael. Michael? Is he — michael’s okay. Dante and I got there in time. “In time”? What are you talking about? We were just having a conversation. I wasn’t gonna clip the guy. But even if you two hadn’t rolled up, michael would have been okay…eventually. Listen to me right now. You touch one of my kids… and I will kill you myself!

You’re right. I have beengoing through something. See? That’s what I’m saying. Don’t you think it might feel better talking to someone? L-like me? You’re making it harder on yourself just keeping it all in. I can’t say anything if you don’t start talking. Then talk already. I was about to! Now I need to compose my thoughts again! Oh, I swear, brad, sometimes you just get on my last nerve. Oh, he’s coming. He’s coming over here. What? Who? What? Aren’t you done yelling at this guy? If this is how you talk to your friends, it’s — how I talk to my friends is none of your business and something you will never experience. Now, why don’t you leave before I change my mind and sue you for bodily harm? Your, uh, body does not look like it was harmed to me. Do you ever stop? Unlike you, dr. Westbourne, I prefer to be nice to people. I meet them with a smile instead of a bark. H-how do you know my name?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, it’s all over my feed. Stupid supply chain. Sasha turned pale as a ghost when she saw these. Didn’t feel too good for me, either. I’m so sorry, gladys. You know, I’ll take them with me when I leave. I’ll donate them. Thanks. Yeah. Sooner they’re out of here, the better. Yeah. You know, chase — we, uh… chase and I, we gathered all of bailey’s belongings when she moved home with maxie. You know, all of her clothes and her toys and [Scoffs] The 552 baby accessories that you don’t even know exist until you’re caring for a child. But we still forgot stuff at the quartermaine nursery. You know, some onesies that she outgrew, a stuffed animal. And a few weeks after I moved home, I went into the nursery to get a toy for wiley and… …I just stopped in my tracks. I was taken by such surprise. I just started looking through the drawers and the closet, and that’s when I found the stuffed animal. And I just sat in the rocking chair and just bawled. And that’s with me knowing that bailey is alive and well and with her real mom. You know, I just — I can’t imagine what it’s like for sasha to be reminded of liam. Oh. Maybe I should go check on her. She hasn’t been gone for too long. Well, still, I-I’d — I’d feel better if — if I looked in on her. Gladys, it’s understandable that she’s upset. Is there another reason why you’re so concerned with sasha? She’s my family. That’s — there’s no such thing as being too concerned. Yeah, but you seem overly worried. Is there a reason for that? Look, I don’t want trouble with you, dante, but every single time we talk about this, it’s pretty clear you’re siding with sonny. I’m not siding with anybody, michael. I’m trying to keep the peace. And you keep escalating things. Sonny’s not working against you. You know that, right? C-come on. He sided with nina. H-he testified for her. I mean, now — now, apparently, it’s not her fault that, uh, she didn’t tell him that he had a family waiting for him. And then he tells the judge that nina should be able to see wiley. Now, it’s not a surprise, but it still felt like a pretty big betrayal. Okay, look, I can’t defend sonny doing that. I happen to not agree with what he did at nina’s hearing. Yeah, a-and — and sonny’s testimony was just the start. Then scott baldwin starts questioning me about — about claudia zacchara’s death. Now, according to him, I bludgeoned a helpless woman and nelle was justified in hiding wiley from me. Who cares what scott baldwin says? He’s full of crap! The judge knows that. No. Scott — scott is acting on nina’s orders! And then there was sonny in the courtroom sitting on her side. So don’t talk to me about peace, alright? I don’t want peace. Sonny didn’t just betray me, his family. He betrayed himself, he betrayed his code that he instilled in me my whole life. “Family first,” right? No, he doesn’t care about his family. He proved that. Alright, michael. Maybe you can just tell me how messing up sonny’s business balances the scales. Hey, I’m not doing anything illegal. Well, you got the harbormaster fired, didn’t you? Come on, we all know that guy was in on the take. You can’t tell me, as a law enforcement officer, you’re not happy that that guy’s out of commission. I don’t care! I could care less. I care about you. I want to know what’s going on with you. This isn’t like you. Oh, right, ’cause — right, so now it’s on me to forgive, right? To make — to make allowances, while sonny does what he wants, takes what he wants, and lets everyone else around him pay the price. No, no more. I-I don’t — I… I want wiley to grow up the son of a successful businessman, not the grandson of a mobster. Okay. You want wiley to grow up the son of a successful businessman who’s obsessed with revenge? Does that make you any better than sonny? You want to cut him out of your life? Cut him out of your life! But you’re never gonna be done with him if your entire life revolves around getting revenge. My family — every one of them, and that includes michael — is off limits. Do I make myself understood? Absolutely. Understood, boss. Wait for me while I walk brando out. I’m grateful for what you did. But answer me something. Why did you go after him in the first place? I was at the gym when you and dex were talking, and I… I could hear part of your conversation. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t help it. Go on. It’s just something about his attitude. Just rubbed me the wrong way. It was instinct, you know? Yeah, I do. I appreciate everything you do for my family. Anytime. Now, you go ahead and go, go. Go to that beautiful wife. I think I will.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll see you, sonny. Okay. I gave you a job. What is it? To check and see if any other vendors have canceled your business. So, where did you hear “michael” in that order? Nowhere, sir. But — there’s no “buts”! When I give you an order, you need to obey it. Just do what I want. Nothing less, nothing more. That doesn’t work for me.

just delete it!

[ Laughs ] Why would I do that? Because it’s taken out of context. It doesn’t show you knocking me into the water. You should be thanking me for my skill. If I had plowed into you at full speed — pssh! Who knows? Why are you even standing here? You should be locked up for creating a public nuisance and flying a parachute without a license. I don’t even know if that last one is an offense — ugh! Shut up! That’S…

[ Sighs ] As far as I can tell, you are just a drifter who literally blew into town whom I can’t wait to blow back out. The only reason I haven’t sued you is because I don’t want you hanging around for the court date. Oh, well, you’re welcome to try. I don’t really have anything that’s worth taking, alright? I was paid to parachute into that pool, which I did. I can’t be held responsible because you were standing too close to the edge. Furthermore, I have evidence that you weren’t injured as a result. I know that you walked right out of that pool of your own considerable glory. I swear, if you bring that up again, that phone will end up in the bottom of the pool! Dr. Westbourne. How nice to see you again. Ms. Wu. And you are? I’m just cody bell. I’m blowing through. We have a meeting. I know. That’s why I’m here. Shall we? Mm. Play nice. You can leave now. I will, once I get what I’m owed. I don’t owe you anything. Not everything’s about you. I’m waiting for someone. Wait somewhere else. Is there something I don’t know about? Is that why you’re staying here with sasha and brando? Why? Do you think it’s strange they’d want me here with them? Come on, gladys. Sasha is my friend. She’s also a pivotal part of deception. Look, I want to know so I can help. I’ll be okay, brook lynn.

[ Clears throat ] I just needed to splash some water on my face. The home & heart spot is a huge opportunity for deception. I’m excited for us, but I admit I’m also a little nervous being on camera and having all the focus be on me. That’s why I want to prepare. That’s the best way I know how to conquer my jitters. Totally get it. We will prep you, coach you. We will beat those jitters into submission. Well, let’s get to it, shall we? Okay. We should discuss which products to present and talk about the order to present them in to achieve maximum sales. Okay. I’m gonna take some notes to forward on to lucy. I was thinking that we need to start out with a bang, you know, to get the — the audience’s attention. I was thinking lips. Hey, uh, gladys, you’re not on the clock, so you don’t have to stick around for this. I’m not going anywhere. This is fun. Just pretend I’m not here. I have to say, I’m quite impressed with your work so far. You’ve accomplished every one of the tasks that I’ve given you. Last night at the poker game, judge abbott told me that you were quite charming. I’ll admit, I’m actually enjoying the job so far. You sound surprised. Oh, no, no. Well, I… you know that I had had my heart set on working at G.H. So I was just thrown when you intervened. But I had no idea what the job would entail. I’m aware that you were hesitant to get involved with one of my enterprises. However, I have a talent of matching people with the task they’re best suited for. And so far, you’ve impressed me. That’s, uh — that’s great to hear. Because… I think I’m ready for more. Are you? Yes. I want to make a — a real contribution to the family business. What did you say? With all respect, mr. Corinthos, I don’t think you want a robot. You want someone who can think for himself, who can anticipate problems and deal with them so you don’t have to. You think that’s you? I barely know you. You haven’t earned my trust. Yes, sir. I’m sorry for going to see your son today. I-I know I went too far. It’s just… hell, I… I was trying to impress you. I know I can do more for you, and I wanted to prove it. I didn’t think it through. I blew it. And I-I’m really sorry. I just want a chance, mr. Corinthos. I was trying to show initiative. Dex. Sir. I appreciate your enthusiasm. But you’re not there yet. And the way you’re gonna get there… …is to listen to what I say and obey my orders. Does that mean I didn’t screw it all up? That you’ll give me another chance?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Hm. 10 emails from the board.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, wow. Now 11. You have no experience in my organization, brad. You need to study and learn the business and then complete the necessary training for a higher position. I’m up for the challenge. So you say. But why should i invest in you now? Because we’re family? I’ve been let down by family before. Who? It’s time to go. You can prove your dedication right now. Oh! Now. Oh. Okay, um… terry.

[ Chuckles nervously ] I wouldn’t blame you if you’re avoiding my calls. Um, I’m — I’m probably not gonna come in today, for obvious reasons. If you are fielding calls from the board, I am so sorry. I…

[ Sighs ] I will talk to you later. Careful. Your face will freeze that way. This pool debacle is ruining my life and my reputation. How is anyone gonna take me seriously now? I swear, I should sue. You absolutely should.

[ Sighs ]

[ Pills rattle ] No!

[ Pills clatter ]

[ Knock on door ] It’s dante. You here about michael? I know everything that happened. Yeah, I figured brando would’ve told you. Who is this dex guy? What the hell’s he doing? I had a conversation with dex. I put him on notice. I swatted him. And I can tell you right now, he’s not gonna do anything without checking with me first. He’s gonna follow my orders. Believe me.

[ Sighs ] Alright, thanks, drew. Let’s, uh, circle back when I get to the office. I’m out running a quick errand. Alright, bye. Twice in one day. Is everything okay? Sure thing, boss. Sonny slapped my hand. I promised to be good from now on. Alright, look. You coming to the quartermaine estate was out of line. My family is off limits. I’ve heard that one before. Do I look like I’m joking? No. It’s just ironic… considering you hired me to take down your father.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Groans ] Brad: Wakey wakey.

[ Sighs ] Ahh! Hair of the dog?

[ Sighs ] Ugh. Water? Aspirin. Dr. Obrecht: Does your poor little head hurt? Just wait, britta. I’ll bring the real pain.

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathes sharply ]

The role of brando corbin

is temporarily being played

by brad schmidt. Hey, brando. Hey. Sorry I’m late. No, you’re not late — I’m just early. You okay? Yeah. Mother needed, uh, help moving furniture. It’s, uh — yeah, I’ve got to tell you — it’s a hell of a thing, you and sasha putting up gladys. That’s definitely one way to describe it. You know what? I can take her off your hands and just put her up in a little place, if you want. Yeah, thanks, but there really is no need. Sasha seems to be happy about it. Really? Yeah. Can you believe that? No. Hey, look, whatever makes sasha happy makes me happy. And besides, you got enough family on your plate already.

[ Horse whinnies softly ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s impressive.

[ Horse whinnies softly ] He is. Leo like him? Oh, he’s doing backflips.

[ Horse whinnies softly ] That, uh — that kid is really blossoming. Those therapy sessions have done wonders. Now, you and olivia have really come through for him. Well, we’re his parents. Did you expect anything less?

[ Horse whinnies ] No, not at all. You, uh, you always stand up for your family. Which is how — how I know [Sighs] Come next week, the shareholders’ meeting that, uh, elq will finally be back under family control. Carly: Then let me be your friend. Let me help you save elq from valentin. I wonder if that’s the first time the words “save elq” have been uttered by anyone other than a quartermaine. I was a full-fledged quartermaine once upon a time. Mm. Twice, if you count my marriage to jason. And now? Now I’m just an honorary member. Mm. [ Clears throat ] What? I’m sorry. I’m just imagining monica having a sudden urge to toss salt over her shoulder. Anyway, the police dropped me off at a psychiatric ward. There, they put me on a 72-hour hold for observation. And that’s when they were able to diagnose me.

[ Sighs ] With what? Schizophrenia, man. Aunt stella, is this the secret that you’ve been keeping from me all these years? You didn’t travel all the way to new york and back to get answers from me. I know it’s hard. But we’re just getting started, curtis. And now is not the time to turn away. Talk to your father.

Schizophrenia. You know, when I first heard a-about your arrest… and learned that they put you in an institution, I thought it was because of the war — ptsd, depression, mania, something like that.

[ Breathes deeply ] Not this. Hearing it the first time was a surprise for me, too. Were there any signs when you were younger? Did — did anyone see any signs before the arrest? Well — stella: You’ve been playing out this moment a long time, marshall. At least since you decided to look for your son. You knew it might come to this, and now it has. The moment has arrived. Time to meet it. All right. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Go away! Wach auf!

Nein! Steh auf und begruesse

den morgen… give it — …mit einem laecheln!

Schnell! Give it back! I’m trying to sleep!

[ Sighs ] It’s nearly noon! Actually, it’s closer to 10:00 — okay. Go away. I don’t feel well. Oh, my god. Easy, easy, easy. Put her there. Ohhh. Here’s the deal, britta. From us, you will receive a long overdue course correction.

[ Sighs ] You have lost your way. Britt. No one hates this more than me. Maybe except you…

[ Sighs ] …But welcome to your intervention. Ta-da. Monica and i are doing great. For us. Well, I think the détente that you have with monica is reason enough not to risk upsetting that balance by involving yourselfin elq matters. You’re really turning your nose up at my offer? Are you really doing that? Look. It’s a generous offer. But even your own son turned it down the first time you floated it. You’re — michael works for aurora — you’re the owner. You’re really opposed to me buying in? No, I’m opposed to you putting yourself at great risk on my behalf. Aurora trades on the open market, right? So I don’t really need your permission to buy in. I can help you whether you like it or not. Always here to help — you know that — ’cause you’re my family. Indeed, I do. Especially, uh, family that accepts my help. Things still no good with michael? Not likely at this point. Sasha told me things went in his favor at the hearing yesterday. I assumed maybe that might, uh, clear the way for a truce. Not after I gave my testimony. I just — look, I just wanted to get to the truth. I might have said some things that people didn’t want to hear. But, uh, no decision is gonna help… me and michael at this point. Sorry to hear that. I mean, is there anything I can do to help? Maybe talk to him? Yeah, thanks for the offer, but, uh… I don’t want anything to alienate you and michael. Alright, well, listen, just let me know if anything changes, okay? Yeah, yeah. And just so you know, I don’t — I don’t — I, uh… things are gonna get worse between me and michael. Dex: Boss? What is it? We’ve got problems.

Both of you — ow, ow, ow. Vamoose!

Schnell, vite! This behavior is unacceptable. I am not the one who barged into my hotel room. How did you even get in? We told olivia we thought you were going to go full world tour guns n’ roses. And that there might be alcohol poisoning. Which might involve emts and bring bad publicity for the hotel. And that load of bull made a five-star hotelier violate one of their residents’ privacy? No, she said something like, “blah, blah, blah, privacy policy, yadda yadda” — I’m paraphrasing. Oh. Then how? I created a distraction. While I swiped a housekeeper’s key card. Wow. After all the trouble you’ve both been in, neither of you can make it to 10:30 without at least a little crime spree.

[ Scoffs ] A hotel might not be concerned about your reputation, but you definitely should be, okay? Especially once that G.H. Rumor mill gets going. You’re going to leave poor terry defending you while the hospital board tries to take your head.

[ Scoffs ] Wow. There should be a law against this much melodrama this early in the morning. Melodrama? This is hardly melodrama, britta.

[ Sighs ] This is tragedy. Your reputation and livelihood will be in peril once word spreads of your bravura performance. Performance? W-what performance? It’s not my fault I got dunked by an exhibitionist himbo dropping literally out of the sky. And objectively speaking — quite hot. Yes, by all accounts, cody der fallschirmspringer is a specimen worthy of study. But we are referring to your swan dive and the tantrum that preceded it. And since when did speaking my truth

[Stammers] Turn into a tantrum? Since it involves public displays of disorderly conduct.

[ Scoffs ] “Disorderly”? I was simply calling out the romantic industrial complex! Uh, it was sloppy.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, you know what? I’m sure, like most things I say, it fell on deaf ears, and no one will notice anything. Ah, yes. It’s all over your social media feeds. Of all the humiliations you have brought upon this family, britta, this might be the most devastating. You have become a meme. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. H-how did this — w-who re– who recorded me? So the judge — she sent me back to see some doctors. And the doctors — they told me — told me again what was wrong with me. It took me a while to come around to it. Even now, I wake up some days wondering if it wasn’t all just a bad dream. But that notion doesn’t last. No, mnh-mnh, no, no. I get up. I get up and feel my — my aches [Chuckles] And my pains, and I — I know that’s real. I look around, I see the same room I went to sleep in the night before. I see my clothes the way I left them, and I know — I know that’s real. And I go outside, and I smell the air.

[ Inhales sharply ] Good or bad, it don’t matter. The air is the air. Good or bad weather, I-I step out into the world, I close my eyes, and I embrace the noise around me. And I know — I know ain’t nobody after me and that I’m safe in my body — I’m safe in the world. And I know that’s real. I step forward into my day every day. And I walk, curtis. I walk toward my music, and I know that’s real. I’ve had no break with reality — I stay on my meds, and my meds keep me level. And you really don’t feel anything? Sure, sure, the side effects of the drugs, but…that beats the alternative, don’t it? Great. Now that it’s been decided, I’m gonna go find a bottle of champagne, and we’re gonna celebrate. Could you be trying to ditch me to go off and call your broker before michael intervenes? Isn’t the fact that you’re trying to end-run me reason enough just to let this go? What is so impossible about letting me help you? Because I didn’t ask for your help. But you’re getting it, anyway. But I don’t need it. Everybody needs help, especially those too proud to ask for it. Or doesn’t it matter if you get elq back? I come bearing gifts.

[ Horse whinnies ] It’s to mount over the stable door. I have a sign-maker on stand-by to forge something for you as soon as you and olivia and leo decide on a name. Maybe “the lucky leo ranch”? I don’t know. I will submit your suggestion to the decision makers. Mm. In the meantime, let’s not pretend that you came down here to look at the horse. Yeah, look, I just —

[ Sighs ] I wanted to talk things out. I-I hate being at odds with you. Nor I you. Ned, you are the one who insisted all along that valentin needs to go. Mm-hmm. He has done an admirable job, but he’s not a quartermaine. Exactly. I am. You, me, and drew — all quartermaines. And we all want to keep the company in the family. Mm-hmm. We just disagree as to how. No, I — come on, I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t go that far. Look, we all want a lean, mean elq, even more nimble and profitable than it is now. So how do we make that happen?

[ Scoffs ] D-drew and I have been negotiating against ourselves. We made you an offer, but, you know, you haven’t budged. Well, I haven’t found much in your offer worth budging on.

[ Sighs ] I’ve given a lifetime to elq, and in return, you offered what? Busywork and an empty title. You can do better. Tell me how. You know how. Look, drew and I agree that ceo is off the table so put something else on it. You must have been working on a — on a counter, right? So, come on, let’s hear it. Brando, can you excuse us for a sec? Of course. What’s the problem? Last night’s coffee shipment has been held up on the docks. Did you talk to the harbormaster? ‘Cause vince will clear this — vince got fired yesterday.

[ Chuckles ] There’s some new guy in charge now. He wasn’t receptive to my request to speed along the inspection. Okay. The product can sit on the docks for a little while. It’s coffee business — it’s not gonna get impounded. But this staff change — it concerns me. I’ll look into it. Okay. What’s the other — you said “problems,” right? What’s the other problem? Someone’s trying to cut into your market share. We’ve got competition.

Of course I want elq back in quartermaine hands. It’s my daughter’s legacy. It’s your legacy. Uh, maybe, to a lesser degree, sure. What are you talking about? Do you not feel like a quartermaine yet? At best, a quartermaine-come-lately. Oh, my god, are you blind? Don’t you see the way monica looks at you? Or how michael and brook lynn look up to you? Or how ned is threatened by you? I’ve been around many quartermaines, and I can say, from up close and personal observation, you fit right in. Coming from you, I’m not sure I take that as a compliment.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Not a quartermaine like edward — although he’s very nice down deep. You’re the other quartermaine — you’re lila. And there’s no better compliment than that. Sonny: What competition? The managers at the grill and every city franchise of haven bistro have canceled their contracts. They’re declining delivery of corinthos coffee, buying from someone else instead. I know I’m new, and this is probably just a drop in the bucket. What’s it feel like to you? A sign of things to come. Think it’s wu? Wu and I have an arrangement. My connections on the docks are important to her. And vince was my guy. Think they’re connected? I do. And I think I know who’s behind both. You taped me? Ow, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I-I did not tape you! The recording is digital. Oh! Aaahhhh! Dr. Obrecht: Stop! This cavalcade of indignity’s gone on long enough. Damn it, brad!

[ Grunts ] Why?! I did it for you! So you can look back on it one day and see how far you’d come. Y-y-you be reclining safely in your as-yet-unmet-husband’s arms, watching this old video of you at your lowest. We can only hope this is her lowest. A-and you and he will laugh a-and laugh a-and just —

[ Laughs ] Yes, and you can sit there watching this with a few dozen cats, looking on with disdain on a loop, over and over and over. It’s part of the historical record. Okay. Does the “historical record” show that I was the wronged party?! That I was dive-bombed by a beefcake?! Oh. Okay, look, nobody’s saying you could have known that hot hunk-o-man was going to chicken little right on top of you. But some might say that this was a prayer answered. You had just said something about love falling from out of the sky.

[ Snorts ] And you think this is what I meant? As far as downward projectiles go, you could do worse. We’re way off topic. We’re concerned that you haven’t really been yourself. For a long time now. Instead of your mean-but-in-a-fun-way self, you’ve been mopey, even a little aimless. So if I’m not stealing embryos or tormenting nurses,

[Scoffs] I’m adrift? Do you really feel like you’re running at 100%? I had one bad day. In a string of bad days. Well, they’re my days, and I don’t have that many of them left, okay?! So whether they’re bad or not, it’s nobody’s business but mine!

[ Scoffs ] Come on, britt. You’re a thoroughbred. Did you just compare me to a horse? Uh… horses are beautiful and noble creatures with long, narrow faces and killer cheekbones. Why aren’t you recording this, james wong howe, for historical records? First of all, thank you for referencing a cinematic genius of cantonese descent. Yeah, I thought you’d like that, but I still hate you. Second, my point is, you’re strong and resilient, one of the bravest people there is. So why are you bellyaching about the days you have left when you know you’re gonna outlive us all? The meds — could they have had something to do with your episode a few months back? Mm. Yeah, sometimes they yank my blood pressure around. But, uh, the doctors — they’re always tinkering with the dosage and — and the cocktail, you know? And they work? 100% of the time? Are you asking me if hear voices or hallucinations? No, no. I-I — I just want to know what to look for, okay? Because if it was serious enough to drive you away the first time, then it could drive you away again. And I don’t want to lose you a second time. Curtis. No, w-we could have helped you, you know? Family helps people t-that they love through — through — through — through illnesses just like this. Son — son, you and tommy were babies. And besides, your mama, she had enough on her hands. And was that her choice? No, it was mine… …alright, and irene’S. I’m not saying she agreed so much as she acquiesced. To tommy and me believing you were dead. Curtis, I was afraid, man. I was afraid of the man I might have become had I stayed.

Curtis, you wore a badge for how many years?

[ Sighs ] Enough. And in all that time on the street, you never crossed paths with — with one of those “lost” people? You mean homeless? Of course. No, not just unhoused… …unmoored. You know what I mean? Shambling down the street, words all — all — all garbled, carrying on to themselves, responding to something nobody else can hear. And alone… always alone. When I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, son, that was my immediate fear. That I would end up being one of the lost. But if you were at home, you could have been with your loved ones who could have kept you moored. No, mnh-mnh, I couldn’t take that chance. My delusions were of the paranoid type. I thought —

[ Chuckles ] Man, I thought the government was after me. But you said you never had a relapse. I got lucky. And at that time, there was no way to predict that. Okay, but there are hospitals out there. We still could have helped you. Curtis, I needed to protect my wife and my kids while I still was capable of making the choice. What if it all went wrong? What if the medicine didn’t even work? What if the medicine stopped working? Maybe you can’t imagine the hurt and the shame I could have brought down on you. But I have. And it’s haunted me every day of my life. I was in danger of becoming someone else — not the man your mama married, not the man I knew, not the father I wanted you and tommy to know or even be around. So I took their deal, and then took their meds…

[Voice breaking] …And I took off. I’m sorry.

[ Crying ] I’m sorry I hurt you…

[ Sniffles ] …And I hurt tommy. But at that time, I didn’t know what else to do. I wish that I’d met lila. But I do know enough about her to take that as a compliment. Yes! Score one for me.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know if I’ll ever feel completely comfortable in that house, but I don’t remember the last time that I felt like a stranger. That’s how jason felt, although he didn’t use those words. What would jason say about you trying to buy into aurora? He’d tell me to stay out of it. So would you stay out of it if jason told you to? No. I ignored jason’s advice all the time…

[ Sighs ] …And he never held it against me. I mean, I’m sure at some point we were in the middle of a crisis of my making, and he said, “I told you so,” but I don’t know. I can’t remember. And you’re holding me to the same standard? No, I am not. Because you already schooled me on that. Mm! Jason was jason, and you are you. Although there are definitely some similarities, you are your own person. You advised me to stay out of it. I considered your advice. I’m just not gonna take it. I think I’m gonna make a lot of money on this merger. You are not doing this for the money. You are doing this to back michael and me. That’s right, because michael’s my son, and it’s the least I can do to settle up with you. And what debt do you think you’re repaying? Thanks, dex, for the update. Should I look into it? Try and figure out who’s making moves? Okay. Check with the other clients, see if anybody’s ready to make a switch.

[ Cellphone rings ] Go ahead, take — take — take that. Thanks, boss. Yeah. Still want to spar? Nah, I think somebody… has already taken a — a swing at me. Any idea who? Yep. My own son. Co-president.

[ Horse whinnies in distance ] Yeah, I’m not, uh, I’m not sure about the — the “co,” uh, ned.

[ Sighs ] Drew and i are looking at that for a — a shared ceo position. I’m not referring to myself. I mean the three of us. We share power. We divide responsibilities. Each will be overseeing a division according to our ability. The big decisions come down to a vote amongst the three of us. It’s equitable, it’s transparent, and it’s a sign of good faith that the three of us can move together in the future as a unit. What do you say? Dr. Obrecht: Brad, please leave us.

[ Sighs ] Feel better. Look at this place. This isn’t fit for schwein. Everything is exactly how I want it. I find that hard to believe. Why? Because I prefer to store my bra on the lampshade? Or I-I’m not ashamed of being single? And I don’t care if I die alone?!

Pardon my intrusion. If your life pleases you, who am I to argue? Mother, please stop. Okay? I’m sorry I jumped down your throat. Don’t apologize, britta. If anyone should apologize — please let me finish. I do appreciate your help. I do. And I know you mean well, even if good intentions are still a relatively new concept for you. And I gave society setups my best shot, and it didn’t pan out. And that’s okay, but I tried. And now I’m [Sighs] — I’m going to take a break from putting myself out there. Come. This isn’t about whether or not you meet someone, britta. It never was. If you don’t wish to share your life with another person, I’ll respect that.

[ Chuckles ] Perhaps my happiness with scott has turned me into a hopeless romantic. Or your version of one. I want the people I care about to be as happy as I am.

[ Sighs ] And since that number is rather small, I can devote more energy to each of you than the usual meddler. Okay. Well [Sighs] Maybe meddle with nina? And her recovering amnesiac mafiosi? I’m getting nowhere near that schlamassel. As for you, I only wanted you to feel the happiness I’ve but recently discovered. What I have with scott — okay, okay. Please, no details, please. I will simply say that a gruff, sturdy, ethically-flexible man who worships me…

[ Chuckles ] It’s — it’s a nice change of pace.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m happy for you. Thank you. And I apologize for attempting to foist my idea of contentment onto you. But I do not apologize for butting in when I see my only living child flailing. And make no mistake, britta, you are. Was that enough detail for you?

[ Sighs ] For now. Good. Then I’m gonna take some rest.

[ Grunts ] Dad? I have one more question. Son, I’m tired. Just one? Uh, I’ll make it an easy one. Um, about your drug regimen. Mm. It’s been honed and refined over the years, right? It has. And in all those years, you really never had an episode or a relapse or whatever? I told you. Been lucky. Why? How come you didn’t come back years ago? Why now?

[ Chuckles ] What could you possibly think that you owe me? What was that little head nod? Was that — was that about the dna results, or was that because willow doesn’t know yet? It was the results. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. Where to start? I mean, I messed up the whole victor cassadine plan. That was an honest mistake. And you’ve been there for me since my marriage crashed and burned. Well, yeah. That’s what friends do for each other. Nobody owes anybody anything. But you could have turned your back on me at any time. You could have, and — and come on, let’s be honest. Before you went to afghanistan, we had grown apart. We had? Stop. It’s not how I think of it. How can you not think of it like that? I mean, yeah, we hit a little bit of a rough spot when jason came back.

[ Scoffs ] I didn’t really know how or where we belonged in each other’s lives. It was tricky navigating through that. But I-I never once doubted us. And I knew that we’d find our way back to each other. To… …the friendship that we used to have. Or if we didn’t, we’d create a new one. And look at us now. We did it. This is a new angle — targeting my legit enterprises. Somebody’s throwing their weight around, interfering with my supply chain, messing with my client– you know what? That — I want — I-I-I’m gonna give michael some credit because he’s smart. He knows how to strategize. Has he ever come after you through your businesses before? No, but — but he thinks I abandoned my family. But michael only sees what he wants to see. Which is ironic, because when he got together with willow, she was married to chase. He only makes allowances for himself…

[Voice breaking] But not for his own dad. Problem? Nothing I can’t solve.

You can protes doesn’t care. But you should. You’re the reason “why now.” All these years, I kept my eyes on you from afar. I witnessed your struggles and your triumphs. Some made me proud — others broke my heart. But I never dared to interfere. Not until you finally gave me a sign. What sign? The savoy, man. Your club.

[ Breathes sharply ] When you opened up a place for music, it was like — it was like god itself was telling me you were ready. Or [Chuckling] Maybe it was telling me I was ready. In any event, I’m sorry I was late, son.

[ Sighs ] But I’m here now. And you’re staying? And I’m staying.

[ Chuckles ] Come here, girl. Get over —

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ] I’m not flailing, mother. I’m — you are. You just don’t see it. And you are certainly not living up to your potential. Look at yourself,

mein liebling. You are letting life pass you by. One could make a convincing case that you are wallowing. Because none of the candidates put up by society setups interest me? I don’t know what to tell you, mother.

[ Scoffs ] I’ve raised my standards.

[ Sighs ] I want a man who will not only save my life, but…who I can trust with my darkest secrets. So meone who can look mein the face and not flinch when I tell them I have huntington’s disease, and I am inevitably gonna die a horrible, debilitating death. Know any guys like that? Because the only one I’ve met is — is buried under seven tons of rock on cassadine island. You’ve had almost a year to make peace with jason’s death and your diagnosis. Since when is there a time limit on grief or facing my own mortality? You’re not the only person who must…

[Breathes deeply] Content yourself with whatever time you have left. You have friends and — and a cousin and a nephew and a mother who love you. And will miss you when you’re gone. I, for one, will be devastated. With the life I’ve led, do you think I ever expected to outlive my children? Nathan is gone. And every morning I wake up grateful for each moment I have left with you.

[ Voice breaking ] When will you ever, ever feel the same? I’ll take your offer to drew, and guess we’ll see what he says. You don’t seem very enthusiastic. Well, uh, to be honest, I don’t — I don’t think this is going to appeal to drew. An equal distribution of power between the three of us. I mean, it doesn’t account for the risk that drew is taking on the aurora side. Okay. Yes, drew takes some risk, you reap the benefits, and then the two of you turn me into your underling. Come on. Drew has never even worked for elq. Maybe not, but I did. Look, I was ceo for years while you were doing music and — and other stuff. And long before you found yourself in the executive suite, I was changing your diapers! Okay, let’s not get personal, ned. Ned! Look, if you lose sight of what’s at stake, we all lose. Well, it’s good to know that we’ve managed to push through, although I’m probably the only one who’s been doing the pushing because you feel like everything’s been fine the entire time.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, sorry about that. Next time, I’ll clue you in. From now on, no more secrets. Okay. How about this? How about I don’t stand in the way of your investment… but you got to keep me honest. You got to tell me if I start veering away from lila and start heading towards edward. You gotta tell me right away. Oh, don’t worry. I will.

[ Sighs ] Headed out? Yeah, I gotta stop the bleeding. How can I help? Just asking is plenty. Like, it’s a sensitive situation. I mean, if I can’t talk to michael, I can talk to dante. Or maybe the two of us together can get michael to the table. You know, see if the two of you can hammer out a peace? Brando, you’re a good guy. Stay that way. You don’t want to get involved in this.

[ Sighs ] Sonny, you said it yourself. Alright, this is legit business, which means there’s nothing I can’t know. And since it’s also family, I… I don’t want things to get so bad between you and michael that you can’t find your way back. I think we’re a little too late for that. Hey, so, uh, I just talked to ned. He came back at me with a counter.

[ Breathes deeply ] I was not very enthusiastic, and things got pretty tense, which is average for this family. But I was hoping that you could come up with something better. We’ll, uh — we’ll talk, alright? Bye. Can I help you? Hope so.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Carly: Hey. I heard you were up here.

Drew: Well, you’re in a better mood today.

Carly: I am. I am. You know, I feel like things are finally starting to come around. You know what I mean?

Drew: Not unlike being released from a dungeon after a couple years.

Well, it’s not quite that. Well, it’s your version. It’s been a rough couple years. It has. And now there are blue skies ahead for michael and willow. Nina is in the rearview. She finally, finally can’t do harm to this family anymore. Mm. It is such a relief to know that willow. Isn’t really nina’s daughter. I love him!

[ Chuckles ] I’m so glad that leo loves his new present.

[ Both chuckle ] Look, I know that getting horses and cars, stock options for your birthday might be normal to you, but for me…

[ Sighs ] …Let’s just say this bensonhurst girl knows how lucky we are. I’m the lucky one. I have you and leo. Aww. Look at that. It turns out that equestrian therapy is all it is cracked up to be. Now, I know it’s supposed to help kids on the autism spectrum develop emotional bonds and sensory skills like balance, but this looks more like a kid just getting a horse. Are you getting all misty on me?

[ Chuckles ] Would you believe me if I said no? No, not for a minute. Okay, let’s see. Oh, leo, why don’t we go up to the house and get the horse some food? Apples or carrots? Well, dealer’s choice.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. Alright, mister. I’m trusting you to look out for my son. And since he clearly already loves you, welcome to the family. I guess we’re going to have to give you a name. Valentin: I’ve always been partial to comet. Comes around once a decade, much like the offer I’m presenting you.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Dr. Ashford, you’re here. Tj: I am. I thought you requested the whole week off work. I did. I-I, um — I had a family situation, but it’s been handled. Is everything okay? I couldn’t even begin to tell you.

[ Sighs ] You’re home. Yeah. We’re home. You know, you really do look wonderful. Compared to what? Compared to yesterday. Honestly, you look more rested than you’ve looked in months. I think it’s the first good night of sleep I’ve had since… it’s been more than months. Anyway, thank you for helping me get settled in. Well, that’s what family does. As a matter of fact, kevin is going over some details with your doctor. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a few days for the sleeping pills to get out of your system. Yeah, I figured. Yeah, so don’t be alarmed if you can’t sleep, and, well, if you go through — withdrawals? It’ll only last for a few days. I know. It’s funny. And — and by funny, I mean irritating. I’ve been a nurse for how long, and I didn’t see this coming. If I had been my own patient, I might’ve been able to catch this a lot sooner, but when it’s you — you’re too close to it. Yeah. Well, I see it now. And if it’s a choice between a few sleepless nights and hurting the people I love…

I was on my way to work, and I was worried I was going to miss you.

[ Giggles ] Marshall, I’m so glad you’re okay. I heard you went through quite an ordeal. How are you feeling? I feel like I’ve had a lifetime’s fill of doctors these last few days. Maybe she wasn’t asking you as a doctor, but as the woman that loves your son. Oh, oh, my bad. Guess I’m still a bit on edge. I appreciate your concern, though. Good. Because you’re family now, so you’re going to have to get used to it.

[ Chuckles ] Now, I made up the spare bedroom for you. Make yourself at home. Well, come on. Let’s get you freshened up. You’ve been in those clothes for days.

[ Stella and marshall chuckle ] Oh, oh, son, son, I know I promised you answers. We’ll get to that soon enough. You get settled first. Come on. I’m so glad you found your father.

[ Sighs ] When tj told me about the robbery, I mean, even though it already happened, it was — it’s scary. But all of you are okay, and that’s all that matters.Yeah. And I hear that you saved the day.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t feel like much of a hero. Why not? Because if I wouldn’t have broken my father’s trust, I never would have put him in danger in the first place. How you feeling? A little better. Mm. Oh, um… I thought I’d find a florist on the way here, but, um — maybe get you something proper, but I only found a little convenience store. Thanks. Feel free to tell me that you hate them. No, I don’t hate them. I am a little confused. I asked you not to visit me. Yeah, no, I-I-I-I heard you. Okay, then… I just — I didn’t want you thinking I had abandoned you. I never want to hurt you. But you are hurting me. More than you realize. I heard leo got a new horse. Mind if I take a gander? Sure. It’s a good-looking animal. Indeed. When charlotte and i were living here, we very much enjoyed riding the area. Well, charlotte is always welcome. Well, unfortunately, my daughter’s still at boarding school. Through the summer? Apparently. She’s as independent as her father. Anyway, I wanted to offer you this. Whoa. Equestrian gear. Top-of-the-line, too. Some of charlotte’s helmets, her riding crops, and the like. Too small for her, but maybe leo will enjoy them. Well, that’s very thoughtful of you. But we both know that’s not why you stopped by. So what do you want? You know what I want. I want to work together at elq. Before michael and drew push you out. Hey, I didn’t know you guys were stopping by. Wiley has a swimming lesson at the athletic club. Yeah, I convinced willow that we could step away for a little relaxation. She’s graduating next week, so we’re not going to have much free time after that. Willow, can I tell you, I am so proud of you. I know you’ve been working so hard. That must be why I’m so exhausted. Hm. Hey, michael, can I steal you for a sec? Just some elq stuff. Oh, wait, does this mean you guys are reconsidering my offer to help? No. No, it doesn’T. Can you give me a minute? -Hey. -Hey. You know, I know it’s work and studying, but I think wiley’s custody hearing really took a lot out of you. That was so insane and so unnecessary. We said no. Nina should have respected that. Yeah. Honestly, carly, I have never been as angry with someone as I am with nina right now. Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother. What’s important is you get to choose who’s in wiley’s life. Nina doesn’T. Don’t let her live in your mind rent-free. Easier said than done. But there is one good thing to come out of this. Dealing with nina helped me come to a big decision. About what? Finding the identity of my biological mother.

My father was in that hospital, lying unconscious, because that street trash slashed him with a knife. Portia, I thought i was going to lose my father all over again. But you didn’t, curtis. I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I’ve gone over the last few months in my head. Here’s a man who was just trying to make things right with — with me, his son. And I was so angry that I just pushed him away. I led him to believe that I was letting him in, only to go digging through his closet for whatever skeletons I might find. Marshall left port charles because he felt like there was no place for him, that he and i would never have a relationship, and that I would never trust him. But, curtis, did marshall give you reasons to trust him? Trust is earned. You got to be there, be present. For whatever reason, marshall was not there for you. And you asked for an explanation, and he didn’t give you one. So you have every right to be frustrated. This coming from the woman who made the guest bedroom for him. He is still your father, and you’re still his son. And I care about the both of you. And as far as you blaming yourself, you didn’t send him packing, you didn’t put him in harm’s way, nothing. Yeah, but I still couldn’t leave well enough alone, even though he asked me to.

[ Sighs ] Look, I know that you think what marshall did was selfish. Just as I know that marshall had his reasons, his regrets. But, listen, I truly believe that, once you air it all out, the truth, like most truths, lies somewhere in between.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. You’re probably right. There is a lot going on with my family right now. A lot. I could use a distraction, which is why I would be happy to go in on the rotation if the hospital needs an extra set of hands. Always. But we need steady ones. And if you’re going through something heavy, you could become a liability to the patients. They have to come first. I can’t argue with that. That being said, there might be a surgery or two you could observe, if you don’t mind staying hands-off and just learning. Yes. Yeah, that — that — that sounds awesome. Okay. Thank you. Scrub in. Okay.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] You have to forgive me. I just… I just wanted to see you. I’m scared, finn. I’m scared that I’m going to hurt someone the way I hurt chase. And what if next time it’s one of my boys or violet? Everyone knows that you would never intentionally hurt anyone. It was a side effect of those pills, and you’re not taking them anymore. Yes.

[ Sighs ] The doctors are calling it dissociative fugue. I heard of it. In my case, it was caused by the sleeping pills. That’s how it happened biologically. Psychologically, why I did what I did… we still haven’t figured that out yet. It’s okay. You only just got here. There’s time. Something is broken in me, and I need to fix it. Of course. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll do it. I think I convinced myself that I was ready to move on when I really wasn’T. If I rushed you in any way, I didn’t mean it. No, no. No, no. [ Chuckles ] Not at all. And that’s — that’s not our problem. So what is our problem? When I’m with you, you make me feel like everything is okay, like it’s all going to be alright. But if you keep coming around, I’m going to start to believe it. And then I will never face what’s really wrong. What was it about the custody hearing with nina that influenced your decision? In that courtroom, I saw firsthand that biology does not make a family. Nina, the blood relative, prioritized her own needs over my son’S. She did. Harmony told alexis that my birth mother disappeared from a commune and left me behind. You believe that? I think it’s likely. My parents spent a lot of time in various communes before dawn of day. They met some very damaged people. The chances are good that my birth mother wasn’t concerned about what was right for her child any more than nina was concerned about what’s right for wiley. I got to tell you, things were still pretty tense between me and ned this morning. I mean, I don’t think we’re any closer to getting him on board with the aurora/elq merger. Well, I’m not surprised. I mean, it’s a matter of pride. Valentine led a hostile takeover under ned’s watch, so as much as I don’t want to ignore ned’s concerns, I just… now’s not the time to back off. I don’t disagree with you, but he insists he doesn’t want the coo role. But he’s not suggesting another job that he would be okay with. And that’s because he only wants one job — ceo. And from where I stand, I think it would be a mistake to give it to him. Valentin: Ned, I made you an offer a few days ago, and since then, I’ve heard nothing. Why is that? I’ve been focusing on my family. And isn’t elq one and the same with your family? Once upon a time, maybe. Not anymore? I’m still living with the consequences of putting the company over the family. Oh, you mean my tenure as ceo? No, I mean, brook lynn is still dealing with the consequences of her contract with linc brown, which you exploited to take over the company. I think you need to stop looking at me as the problem and remember that I’m the one who got brook lynn out of that contract. Ah, yes. For a price. Everything has a price. So the question is, what is yours? For betraying my family? You couldn’t afford it. Ned, from where I stand, you’re the one being betrayed.

I know you drove all this way. No. It’s okay. I, um… I should go. Laura: Finn, I’ll walk you out. Okay. Uh, hey. I’d do anything for you. So if you want me to stay away, I’ll do that. Just so you know, I’m not giving up on us. Someday, when you’re ready, I’ll be there. Been through this every step of the way with elizabeth and now, somehow, it seems like it’s been all my fault.

[ Scoffs ] Absolutely not. Or my presence made it worse. She didn’t say that. She didn’t mean that. I know. It’s just… I hate this. Of course you do. Why — why do you think she’s allowing you to see her? Maybe because she knows that I’ve been where she is right now. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I had my own issues with mental illness about 20 years ago, and, you know, I lashed out at people — at luke at scott, even at my own mother. I was, um — I was dealing with a repressed memory, and, um, even though I loved these people very much, just seeing them subconsciously triggered my trauma. I’m sorry. I’m sorry you went through that. But you weren’t necessarily dealing with — with grief? No. I-I mean, well, it was a lot of things, but, no, not that. Do you think the root of elizabeth’s problem is something other than losing her husband? Michael and drew are going to put you on the sidelines, ned. You’re going to be given a meaningless title, menial responsibilities. What about leo? Are you concerned that they’re going to give leo an inferior position at elq, too? The only shares he’s in line for are yours. You’ve got to be in a position financially to protect him — and olivia. Well, in case you haven’t noticed, we’re not exactly paupers. So I think leo, olivia, and i will be just fine, whoever leads elq in the future. No, of course, but it’s not just the money. It’s also the power and the respect. You vote to keep me in place, and I can guarantee you will maintain a suitable role at elq. And what role is that? Name it. Ceo. No. You and I both know however you vote, that role is filled. Then why vote for you? Ned, I maintain we can reach a mutually agreeable arrangement, one where we both win. I don’t want the coo. Okay, we’ll get creative. We’ll come up with a way where you and i are practically equal. That would mean giving up a significant chunk of your power. Why? What’s in it for you? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m getting squeezed out. So 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. Wouldn’t you agree? What’s going on here? Michael: Look, ned is throwing a tantrum because he’s not getting what he wants. Is that who we really want in charge? Ned needs to be respected, michael, the same way that I respect your position with regard to sonny. Look, I wasn’t thrilled to hear that you were going to use elq to help bring him down, but you promised to leave elq out of it, so I don’t get a say. Well, I can afford to take things slower on that front now that wiley’s custody is secure. But why don’t you just let it go? Why — why should I? Look, sonny’s priority is nina — protecting her, supporting her. He doesn’t care about the harm that she’s done, much less what it’s cost his own family. There’s no coming back from that. You know who you sound like? Don’t say sonny. Okay, I’m not going to say it, but you do. I mean, I can practically hear you say, “he’s dead to me.” Oh, no, he’s not — he’s not — he’s not dead to me. Not yet. I have to crush him first. And when I do, I want him to know that it was me. Yeah, then after that, then he can get around to dying. What — what is that? This is the medication that marshall had with him. Do you want me to look at it? I can tell you what it’s for. You know what? I think I’ve violated marshall’s privacy enough. It’s my father’s job to tell his own story. Well, your father’s washing up now. He wouldn’t even let me wait outside the door. I guess his pride is still intact.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I better get going, so — portia, before you leave, I owe you an apology. When marshall first came back into our lives, I wasn’t honest with you. In trying to keep my promises to him and to my sister, I ended up giving you the runaround, which I suppose is another way of saying I outright lied. And I am not the person who likes to do that. Stella, you don’t owe me an apology. I mean, like you said, you had promises to keep, and it wasn’t your story to tell, it was marshall’S. And I’m certainly not going to blame you for making a choice that you felt was protecting your family. Now, why don’t i give you guys some space? You let me know if you need anything, okay? I love you. I love you. Patience of a saint, that one. Yeah, I got lucky. And she really stepped up for the family. So when are you going to make her an official part of it?

The way nina weaponized michael’s past, the extremes she was willing to go to to win, it was like a warning. I shouldn’t go looking for someone who could wind up being as indifferent, even harmful to my needs as nina is to wiley’S. You sure? I am. Between wiley and michael and the quartermaines and, of course, you, I have all the family I need. Oh. Oh, gosh. I’m — I didn’t mean to make you cry. No. Um… I — I just appreciate being appreciated. And, willow, for what it’s worth, I think you’re making the right decision. I just don’t want you doing something that you’re going to end up regretting. No, I won’t regret it. In fact, it’s already in the works. What is? Look, don’t worry. It doesn’t involve elq. You’re in the clear. Even so, I think — you know, instead of focusing on my differences with my father, let’s focus on increasing aurora’s stock so that, when we merge the companies, it’s on more of an equal footing. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. And so far, that’s been just so much more difficult than we thought. Valentin was nice enough to drop off some of charlotte’s old riding gear for leo. Ah, what a lovely gesture, valentin, whatever your motives are.

[ Gasps ] Can I see? -Yeah. -Yeah, go ahead. -Yay. You ask me, leo, you’re going to be a heck of a horseman. What do we say, honey? Thank you. You’re welcome. Happy trails. Anyway, I should probably get going. If there’s anything else you need, though, you let me know.

Arrivederci. Yeah, ciao. Uh, honey, why don’t you run up to the house and have cook give you a couple lumps of sugar for the horse, okay? Okay. Thanks, hon. Okay. Well, you seem to be getting along with valentin. You know, he was always great with bailey, and he’s been exceptionally kind with leo. I mean, sue me, but it’s kind of hard to stay mad at someone like that. Why? Oh, just saying. Uh, and you’re right, this is some really nice stuff that he dropped off. Well, goodwill gestures aside, I would sleep with one eye open with that guy around. Even on his best days, he’s up to something. Well, you know better than anyone what grief can do to a person. That I do. I know you want to be there for elizabeth, and you will be, eventually. Just not in the same room. Well, for now, no. You know, you really do have to respect her request for space from you. Okay. Are you really asking if I’m going to propose to portia? Now, after everything that’s happened? Curtis, it’s during troubling times that people prove themselves, and portia has already shown time and again that she is a true member of this family. Auntie, I appreciate the fact that you’ve grown to care for portia. You know how rare it is I think anyone is good enough for you. Oh, I’m aware. It’s just that, um, you know, we’ve only been together a little over a year. You’ve been together long enough to buy this house. Sounds like a commitment to me. This is an investment. In a commitment. Look, all I’m saying is, when you find someone who makes you happier than anything else in this world, you shouldn’t waste time because it won’t wait for you. I learned that the hard way. So has your father. You know, it’s just that the divorce between jordan and me, it’s still so fresh. Auntie, you okay? Yeah, fine. I — I guess the last few days are just catching up with me. That’s all. Okay. You sure? Mm-hmm. Excuse me. Hey, dad, how you feeling? Better. Thank you. Thank you. But, uh, also, uh, quite a bit terrified. Terrified about what? Whatever happens next. It’s time, son, I finally give you the answers you’ve been looking for.

Hello, gentlemen. Lovely day, isn’t it? Well, you’re awfully chipper for someone who’s about to be voted out. Nothing’s set in stone. And I’m pretty sure, even if I, uh, lose the round, I can still win the match. Before we — we get into all this, I want to — no, no, no, i need to clear your mama, irene, of any blame. That lie, the lie telling you and your brother that I had passed away, that wasn’t something she came up with after I left. I made that decision, and I pressured her to go along with it. After what happened, it was… curtis, I felt it was for the best. That was after you got arrested? Yeah. After that. Now, you might recall, I served in vietnam before you were born. I do. Curtis, when I came back to the world, I was disillusioned about a lot of things. I could hardly pick up my clarinet. I needed something. I needed — I needed purpose. And I found purpose. I found it in protest. First, it was just the war. Then — then, it was civil rights. Then, no nukes. Any injustice anywhere, I was there, curtis. Not — not just to make the world a better place, because that was part of it, but — but I needed to — to give myself purpose, and — and in doing that, I found my music again. But your mother, she thought I was pushing myself too much, that I wasn’t getting enough sleep, and that’s why — she felt that’s why I was having these — these paranoid thoughts. Paranoid? How? Man, I — I was convinced we were being watched. Finn. Hey. Did you see biz? How is she? I saw elizabeth. As to how she’s doing… …she wouldn’t tell me. We should put these in your room. Add a little bit of color. It can be so dull in there. It’s better than a cell. Part of me is still afraid that I’m going to be arrested or sued or both. Chase made it really clear that he is not going to press charges. What about franco’s art studio? I torched a building in my sleep. No, we do not know that yet, okay? You don’t remember it. There’s no evidence linking you to it. But what if I am charged? What? Those sleeping pills had been in your body for almost a year before you had any of those sleepwalking incidents, right? Yeah. So? So what if there’s something more going on here?

Are you saying you don’t think this was caused by the sleeping pills? No, I’m not saying that. I mean, the sleeping pills are definitely the “why” of it all. They — they made you sleepwalk and disassociate. It’s the “when.” You’d been taking these sleeping pills for almost a year before you had any of those sleepwalking incidents. So, I don’t know, I’m just wondering if maybe… did anything happen more recently that might have triggered that kind of behavior in you? Have you brought that up at all in any of your sessions? I think I need to lie down. Oh, okay, yeah. Alright, you do that. You get the rest you need to get, and I’ll come back very soon. Okay. Thanks. And thank you for coming. Truly. Terry: Elizabeth really asked you to leave? She implied that my being there was making things worse, that I make her feel like things are okay when they’re really not, and she can’t do the work that she needs to do. Of course, I want to respect her wishes, but I really care about her, and it’s hard, you know? Finn, I know you love elizabeth, and I also know what it’s like to not be able to help someone you care about, but trust me, the two of you will find your way back to each other once she works through her grief. That’s just it. You know? I’m thinking this might be about more than just grief. I think elizabeth might be repressing something else. Such as? You tell me. You’ve known her the longest. Other than losing franco, you and I already discussed the falling out she had with her parents. Do you know if anyone’s reached out to carolyn and jeff about what’s going on with elizabeth? I don’t know. But you think maybe it’s time someone did? I know that you’re upset about this disagreement with michael and drew, but you quartermaines, you’re always squabbling about elq, and for what? You always work it out. That was back when grandfather ruled with an iron fist or when my mother and aj served as a common enemy. This time, I’m the one on the outside. If you are truly worried about being put out to pasture, you go to michael and drew. You make a deal. That’s what you’re best at, right? This does not have to be a blood feud. Yeah, I guess you’re right. I always am. I’ve got no intention of losing the round or the match. Well, of course you don’T. No one ever intends to lose, but somebody has to. Hm. Maybe it’ll be you. Back at you. That’s the spirit. Come on. Let’s go. Ahh. What was that about?

[ Sighs ] Posturing. You know what? Actually, I think — I think it was more than that. My gut’s telling me that valentin’s planning something before the shareholders meeting. Like what? I don’t know. I don’t know, but it’s all I can think about now, which is probably his plan. So much for relaxation. Same here. All this talk about nina makes me wish I stayed to watch wiley’s swim class. You know, we could probably catch the end of it. Sounds perfect. Yeah? Okay. Um, see you both later. Okay, see ya. Bye, guys. Hey… is willow okay? She seems, I don’t know, just off. Nina got into her head. That’s all. Well, she can kick her right back out ’cause nina’s out of wiley’s life. She’s not willow’s mother. She’s nobody to any of you. You did the right thing, not looping willow in. She’s lucky to have you as a friend. I’m not that great of a friend. What are you talking about? You helped me. You helped me get settled back into port charles. You offered to buy aurora stock to drive up the price. What else would you call that? Okay, then let me be your friend. Let me help you save elq from valentin. Hey, I saw that you were observing today. I thought that you would be home with curtis and your grandfather. I want to be, more than anything, but the way I see it, marshall promised uncle curtis answers, and uncle curtis, he has been waiting a lifetime. To get those answers. I hope you’re right. Yeah. And I hope whatever explanation marshall gives helps heal the emptiness and uncertainty that uncle curtis has had to live with all these years. But still, I — I have to wonder, is there anything marshall can say to help uncle curtis understand why he just disappeared? That doesn’t sound entirely paranoid to me. Look, we know the government keeps tabs on — on protesters and people they deem instigators. It’s more complicated than that. When you were 3 years old, I went to another protest. There, the police were involved. Some people got arrested, and, um… I had an episode. An episode? You mean while you were resisting arrest? No, that’s just it. I-I wasn’t resisting arrest. Mnh-mnh. At least not intentionally. Anyway, the police, they dropped your daddy off. They dropped me off at a psychiatric ward. There, they put me under observation for 72 hours. And that’s when they were able to diagnose me. With what? Schizophrenia.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Grunts ] Please take me to port charles airport, international terminal.

[ Cellphone chimes ] P-phyllis — phyllis. Don’t worry. I’m gonna find her. Hold on. When you say “partner in crime,” are you talking about detective first grade dante falconeri?

[ Chuckles ] I still can’t wrap my head around that cop part. This guy’s mom sent him to summer camp in order to keep him away from trouble, and he got in a lot more while he was there. That was because of you. Right, right. Yeah, I’m — I’m the one who led you astray. Mm-hmm. You were the innocent one. Mm-hmm. You guys have known each other that long? We met when we were, uh, what, uh, 12? 13? 12. I came home from school one day. My mom had a bag packed, and she told me I was going to camp for the summer. I was gonna stay out of trouble and get into nature.

[ Chuckles ] And you were the bad influence that corrupted dante. Oh, I’m a bad influence, but so was he back in the day. Cam, hey. Hey. Wow. Two shifts? Kelly’s, now here? Well, you know, with everything going on with my mom, I figured I could use the extra work. Hey, wait. Can we please talk about what’s going on between us? I can’t believe we stayed out for so long. I guess that means we were having a good time.

[ Chuckles ] I guess so. Uh… thanks for buying everything at the pool and for dinner and for ice cream. I’ll pay you back for everything. Oh, forget it. Thank you for introducing me to that amazing food truck. Right? I only found out about it because it goes by pcu on certain days. Another testament of your incredible taste. Good art, good food. I can’t wait to see what else you introduce me to, trina robinson. Whatever you have to say, I promise to listen. Can I please go first? I’ve had a lot of time to think about what you said to me. How I take you for granted. How trina gets under my skin. But I evade every time you call me out on it. And I realized you’re right. And you deserve some answers. D-don’t tell me you’ve hired a divorce lawyer already. No. But I was ready to give up on our marriage. I was, too. I drew a line in the sand and I was ready to walk away. Thankfully, I realized that… was the very last thing I want to do. We can find our way back from this, can’t we?

I wouldn’t say cody corrupted me, but he definitely roped me into going along with some of his more, um… harebrained schemes. Uh-huh. Like you didn’t have any suggestions. Well, I know it wasn’t my choice

or my idea to take the canoe out to the middle of the lake and tip it over on purpose.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Ah! We — we — we — so we pretended that we were drowning, right? Mm. And we were screaming, like, “help, help!” Until the prettiest cit could come over. That’s a — that’s a counselor-in-training. Yeah. Uh, so she swam over and “rescued” us.

[ Laughs ] Oh, no. And, oh, man, she was mad. She was. We got banned from the beach for the rest of the summer. Then you stole all the camp director’s cigarettes out of his cabin. That’s right, I did. And why did I do that? Do you remember? I dared him to. Yeah, that’s right.

[ Laughs ] And the only reason we got busted in the end is because this guy here smoked every cigarette in the pack… ooh. …And ended up puking all over the place.

[ Laughing ] Gross. Nothing like a little adrenaline rush to let you know you’re alive. It’s like jumping out of a plane and crash landing on an unsuspecting woman. Ah. Talk about mad. And pretty. Now that I’m thinking about it, she actually reminds me of that cit.

[ Chuckles ] Still, if she hadn’t been there, that would have been a perfect landing. Yeah, instead of a potential negligence lawsuit. Oof. Look at you. Former renegade embracing the straight-and-narrow path to a humdrum life. I don’t know if staring down the barrel of a loaded gun is as dangerous as jumping out of a plane. But I don’t know if it’s humdrum. Mm-hmm, okay. Alright, you know that I’m messing with you, right? I’m gonna get you another round for that dinner you’re gonna buy me.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Groans ] You okay? Yeah. No, um… that tumble just fired up some old injuries. I’m good. Yeah, it’s, uh — little pain just lets you know you’re alive, right? Yeah. Why haven’t you mentioned cody before? I don’t know. We — we saw each other every summer at camp, had a hell of a time, but then, uh, we lost touch after I stopped going. That’s too bad. He seems like a good guy. Yeah, he’s a good guy. Good at getting in trouble. I feel like we should be able to tell each other anything by now. You know, unless this is something bigger. I mean, do you feel like we need time or something? No, no, I-I don’t want that. Do you? Well, I don’t know what else to do. There’s clearly something going on. I will not lose joss because you can’t keep your head in the game. Do whatever it takes at this point. I don’t care. Confess to trina. Suck it up to esme. Just make it happen tonight, or I will. You’re right. Um, there’s something that I should tell you. Okay. Isn’t that… the creep who tried to hit on me when I thought we were just study buddies? Hi, josslyn. I-I’m sorry, I really need — I’m sorry to interrupt. I really need to talk to you. I was hoping that trina would get here before I left. She’s actually supposed to be back by now, but she has been working a lot, just dealing with everything hanging over her head. Not saying that I blame her at all. I just wish that there was something that I could do to make things okay for her. We will. Can you give her a big hug from her dad? I sure will. She’s still a daddy’s girl. Don’t worry.

[ Chuckles ] Sweetheart, who’s your friend? Nikolas, we had a fight. You know, big deal.

[ Exhales sharply ] So do most couples. I just had to remember everything that we’ve shared. How we have survived, despite everybody’s predictions to the contrary, because we love each other, we understand each other. It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than an argument to sever that bond. To be fair, it… it was more than one argument. There are things between us… …that aren’t easily resolved. Nothing between us has been easy. It hasn’t stopped us yet. When you walked away from me, from us, I thought it was over. Yeah, I thought so, too. But, nikolas, it’s because we’re — we’re stubborn, passionate people. And when we’re at odds, you know, things can get really ugly, but when we’re together, we are unbeatable. And that’s our problem, right? W-we stopped working as a team. We — we started to let our own agendas drive us and we forgot to protect this life that we’ve created together, and that life is remarkable. It’s beautiful. It’s utterly our own. And I am n ot gonna let spencerand esme tear it down. Okay. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry for how bad things have gotten between you and me. I’m so sorry for the way that I treated you earlier. Will you please forgive me? Can you track down nina reeves for me? She — yeah, she’s not returning my phone calls or — I’m texting, nothing. Yeah. I’m just — I’m just afraid that she’s not in a great state of mind, and she may do something that she’s gonna regret. Thank you for, uh, making that stop. I left my passport in the office. Okay. Oh, wait. We have to make another stop before you drive me to the airport.

to port charles’ finest. Oh. That means you, dante. And to, uh… unexpected reunions. No wedding ring. You’re not married? Free as a bird. No kids? Nope.

[ Chuckles ] No one special in your life? You ask a lot of questions. Well, sam is a, uh, private investigator.

[ Chuckles ] It’s an occupational hazard. Yeah, it’s like jumping out of a plane and landing on the top of a building. Sort of like skydiving. Is that what you do for a living or is it your side hustle? Actually, uh, for a long time, I was a stunt horseback rider. No kidding. That’s, uh — that’s cool, man. Cody was always really good with horses. I grew up around them, and as soon as I could move out west, I did, d,started working on ranches. That’s where I learned about stunt riding. But after a few too many tumbles, I had to hang up my saddle. Now I make a living doing a bunch of short-term gigs. Wait, isn’t dropping out of the sky really hard on your back? Yeah. Probably gonna have to quit that, too. So how long have you two been together? Oh, you want to take that one? Yeah. We’re coming up on a year. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Year? That’s a good amount of time. How, uh — how’d you meet? Uh… sam’s been a family friend for a lot of years. My ex-husband was best friends with his dad. Whoa. You found your father? I remember you wanting to know who he was. Yeah. I, uh… I got to know my father a little more than 10 years ago. Dante, I mean, this is significant. Tell me — tell me what the — tell me about him. He’s a businessman here in port charles. What’s his business? Corinthos coffee. Wait a minute. Your dad is sonny corinthos? Brick, talk to me. A plane ticket. Where? Damn it. Milan? How soon? Alright, I’m on it. If I were you, adam, I’d get the hell out of here. Hey, it’s fine. Let’s just see what he has to say. Can we do this in private? You’re joking. It’s fine. You’ve got a minute. Be right there. One wrong word and you’re in the pool. I’m pretty good at it. I’ve been too afraid to talk to you at school. But I saw you come in tonight, and I — well, I figured it was now or never. For what? An apology. As convenient as it would be to blame everything on — on spencer and esme, we’ve struggled with trust and honesty from the beginning, and I — I take my responsibility in that. Ava: I know that we have. Oh! We have legitimate issues to work through. I know that. But despite those issues, nikolas, there’s so much love here. There’s — there’s a kinship, even. And there’s — there’s certainly no denying our attraction, right? Surely those things can see us through. So what do you say? Are you still in this with me? I appreciate your acknowledgment that you’ve treated me badly, but… it’s not that simple, spence. I know.

I’ve messed everything up. But I’m trying to work it out. I want to be the man that you deserve. But in order to get there, I may need a second or third or even fourth chance. And I don’t even know which one I’m on now.

[ Chuckles ] Just believe that… I’m trying to do better by you. I need a bit more than “I’m trying,” because from where I’m standing, it doesn’t look like you’re trying very hard, except maybe to justify your behavior. I have been willing to stand by your side no matter what, and I haven’t gotten anything close to that from you. I deserve better.

I’m with you. Always and forever.

[ Inhales sharply ] So “always and forever” lasted all of 4 seconds. I’m sorry, I — you just surprised me. Right, and your instinct was to recoil. That’s not very reassuring, you know. I’m as in love with you as ever. I wanted to grab you in my arms so many times, I had to restrain myself. We came so close to the edge, to giving up on each other. I-I think it might take a little time for things to feel normal between us again. You know, there is still one giant thing between us, and if we really want to move forward… we have to settle it once and for all. You talked to my father about me? Among other things. He saw my suitcase, and I’m afraid I accidentally broke the news to him about ava’s offer for us to move out of wyndemere in exchange for an allowance from your trust fund. One thing led to another, and I told him we fought. I was on the verge of walking out on you. What did my father say to make you stay? He cares about you and he doesn’t want to see you hurt, so he talked me down. He gave me a new perspective on relationships. It was a lot for me to take in, but made me realize I have to be honest about what I need from you. I know that our relationship has been rocky. I’ve been in a bad head space ever since I was in spring ridge, but I’m ready to do whatever it takes to make this work between us. Do you really mean that? So, are you sure I can’t get you anything to drink or…? Uh, no, ma’am. I’m fine. Good. Dad, weren’t you supposed to be leaving? You know what? I think I remember you. Weren’t you, um — you were at the courthouse at trina’s arraignment, right? Uh, yes, ma’am. That was the first day I officially met trina. He brought me a soda when I was in the interrogation room.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s an interesting story.

[ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. Uh, mr. Taggert, I heard how you and commissioner ashford took down cyrus renault. Great work. You think? I broke the law. I had to convince my ex-wife and daughter I was dead for nearly six months. Which I had a problem with at first. But then I realized that you were just doing what you felt like you had to do. Sounded like you did what you needed to in order to protect your family and community. I admire that. Can I ask you a question, rory? You like breaking rules? I mean, is that the real reason you’re hanging out with my daughter? You want to apologize? I do. I’m sorry. I was a total jerk. I had no — no right to say the things that I said to you. No, you didn’T. So why did you? I’m ashamed to say it now, but… all I saw was a hot girl in a video. I didn’t think about what it felt like for you to have your privacy violated. But then I read your article in the invader. Reading about what you went through, that was seriously messed up, and it made me check myself. If someone did that to my sister, I would be furious. I’m really sorry. And I’m sorry I made it w– I made it worse for you. Thank you. And…I accept your apology. Great. Should we hug it out or something? Remember the pool? Yeah, don’t push it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m guessing you know the namesonny corinthos. I hear he knows how to roast a mean bean. Any chance I could get a hook up on some free coffee? Some thing s never change. Alwayslooking for an angle, huh? Well, hey, it’s — it’s not what you know. It’s who you know. Mm-hmm. So what are you getting up to tonight? Want to raise some ruckus and honor the old times? Um, you know what? I got a — I got an early morning. Right, yeah. Got to keep those bad guys off the street. Yeah, and get my kid to school. Look at you, man. Dad with a great job, cool girlfriend.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t think you had it in you. I’m really happy for you, honestly. Looks like you grew up to have a full life. Thanks, man. It seems like you got the life you wanted too. Yeah, more or less. I’m really glad we had this chance to catch up, even if it’s just for one night. Yeah. You know, we’re having dinner at my place tomorrow. Why don’t you come by? I was worried about you. I-I called you. I texted you. You didn’t return any of my calls. I just — I put my phone on silent. I just was not in the mood to talk to anyone. I heard the judge rejected your petition to see wiley. I’m sorry. You’re not upset at how I let scott go after michael? I don’t like to see michael in pain, but it doesn’t mean I can’t feel for you. Well, I won’t be hurting michael or willow anymore. I’m headed to the airport as soon as I find — this? Oh. No, sonny, please. Nina, nina — I’m already running late. Can you give it to — there is a car waiting for me. Too bad, nina. I’m not letting you go.

[ Sighs ]

you wanted to give us space to work on our marriage, my offer to spencer wasn’t only so he and esme would move out. It was for us, too. You wanted to give us space to work on our marriage, but it hurts that my son chose his money over his relationship with me. Darling, I mean no disrespect. In spencer’s eyes, you did exactly the same thing. Tell you what. As a gesture of good faith and to show you that I am committed to our marriage, I won’t make spencer choose. Yeah, if you

renege,he’ll be furious. No, no, no, I-I’ll still give him the money on the condition that he remains here. Of course, I’ll still have to put up with esme. No, not necessarily. Spencer and esme might be breaking up. She seems to think so. Oh, maybe that’s why he was looking for her. Maybe she’s already gone. This calls for a toast. Things are looking up already. I mean it with all my heart, esme. I want us to make it. Can you please accept my apology? Please. Come on. I love you, spence. And I want to make our relationship work. So, yes, I forgive you. I hope this can be a new beginning for us. I want that, too. I’m ready for all this drama to be a thing in the past. The best part is… I know you really mean that. This isn’t an interrogation. It’s a fair question. Sir, I’m actually a by-the-book guy, which is why I looked it up, and there is no rule stating that I’m not allowed to be friends with trina while she awaits trial. You’re a rookie, right? There’s something you need to understand, son, about law enforcement — there’s written rules and there’s unwritten rules. Yes, sir. I take that seriously. Just like I take seriously our oath and motto — to protect and serve. It’s why I was drawn to the job. And I’m not violating the oath or motto by hanging out with trina. And if someone has a problem with that, that’s on them, not me. So what do you like to do in your spare time, officer cabrera? Uh, well, trina has been teaching me about art. She’s got a great eye. Oh, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Trina: I keep telling him that art is subjective, but I guess I’ve just been around it more. Hey, no false modesty. Own it, lady. Okay. [ Chuckles ] I guess I am pretty good at it. But I like to keep active, play sports, swim, work out when I can. The job keeps me pretty busy, and the whole work-life balance can be pretty tough. Right. You let me know when you get that figured out.

[ Chuckles ] I will. But, you know, right now, I’m just trying to remind myself to make more time for things that I enjoy. Cody: I appreciate the offer, but I got to hit the road tomorrow. No way, you’re only here for the day? Yeah. Life in the gig economy. My next job’s in the finger lakes area. But port charles seems like a nice town. It is. It’s too bad you can’t stay a little longer and get to know the place. I never get too comfy in one place. Got to pay the bills. Are you looking for a job long-term? I don’t know. I mean, since I quit riding, kind of just go wherever the wind blows. But, I mean, I’m open for the right opportunity. Why do you ask? Because I might know of a job that could be a good fit for you, if, of course, you’re interested. I can’t stay here. I can’T. I hate losing you, leaving you, but I can’t keep doing this. My mistakes have already cost you everything, and they have finally caught up with me. But I meant what I said on the stand. I forgive you for what you did to me. Thank you. That means everything. But that doesn’t change the fact that I lost… wiley. My grandson. My flesh and blood. The last link that I will ever have to my daughter. You don’t know that for sure, nina. Sonny, michael and willow will not let me see wiley after everything that happened in court today. Michael and willow can’t keep you from seeing your grandson forever, nina. Can’t they? No, they — they c– they can. I mean, they — they will not let that little boy see anything redeemable in me. I mean, willow accused me of being exactly like nelle. And — and I said terrible things. I have a habit of just lashing out when I feel cornered. I missed my chance of — of getting what my mother stole from me. I won’t know nelle. And now I won’t know her son. Nina — nina — and the only thing I have left of them is… is that necklace, sonny. Just give it to me, please. Just give it to me so I can go. It hurts too much to stay here. Please. Do me a favor before you leave. Let me ask you one thing. How do you think wiley is gonna feel when he finds out you gave up on him?

Ids spend a lot of timeat their grandmother’S. They have stables and horses. They just got a new horse, and they’re actually looking for another handler. Mm. So old money? New?

[ Chuckles ] Come on, does it matter? You said that you worked on ranches. Does that mean you have experience in managing and grooming horses? Yeah, sure. I mean, when I was a kid, my family tended to some horses that were on an estate near the camp. I helped out. Actually, I even took over for a couple years before I headed out west. Hey, that sounds great. I mean, I can’t promise you anything, but at least dante and I could get you a foot in the door. Yeah. You know, sam, I think that — that is a good idea. I just don’t think it’s the right one for cody here. I mean, never too comfy in one place, right? Hey. Hey. Everything okay? Mm-hmm, yeah. I was, uh, telling josslyn that I read your article in the invader and how sorry I was that everything went down the way it did. You guys are really brave. I, um… appreciate you both. Cool. Thanks. He legit? Actually, yes. He apologized and he told me that when he read the article, he changed, you know? We changed his perspective. Hmm. Look, it’s just more validation that we made the right decision by agreeing to do the article. Yeah. Guess we did. I’m glad you’re finally getting some closure. Mm. No, I wouldn’t say that. I’m not gonna get any closure on any of this until esme gets exactly what she deserves. Ah, spencer, I’m so glad you’re here. I have some news. I’ve decided to amend our agreement. Oh, you’re giving me full control of my trust fund.

[ Laughs ] No, no. I’m still gonna give you allowance like we agreed, except you won’t be moving out. You’ll — you’ll stay here and work things out with your father. You want me to stay here? Yes. And, well, it seems that the timing has worked out perfectly. N-nikolas, uh, he told me what happened. And, uh, what was that, exactly? Well, I — I understand that you and spencer have been having some difficulties and are looking to take a break. Now, I’m not gonna insult your intelligence by telling you I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you’ll land on your feet, find some other family to terrorize. Long as it’s not mine. Oh, that’s where you’re wrong, ava. Spence and i worked everything out. He stays, I stay. Does that alter your terms? I’m not giving up on wiley. I’m fighting to stay in his life, sonny. Up until now, nina. You had one setback, and you’re gonna — you’re just gonna throw in the towel? Because I can’t sit on the sidelines and watch that little boy play out the rest of his life without me, knowing that his family poisoned his mind against me. It just hurts too much. If you run away, he’s gonna believe the lies. Wiley’s gonna grow up, he’s gonna want to know his mother and her family. He’s gonna seek you out. Maybe he’ll — he’ll even want a relationship with you when he finds out how great you are. I just don’t see that happening. Well, you know what? We don’t know the future. But one thing I can tell you right now is you’re not gonna have a relationship with wiley if you’re not here. I just feel hopeless, sonny. So, what, you’re gonna just run — you’re gonna run, right? Because that’s what you do. That’s your pattern. You got to break that pattern. Otherwise, wiley is gonna keep believing all the lies that everybody keeps telling him. What if it’s too late? That’s your fear talking, nina. Remember what you said to me? The only way you’re gonna make it up to wiley is to prove to him how much you love him. Now, you believed that then and you believe it now. I don’t know what I believe. Stay here. You have — you have a life here. And you could have one with wiley, but you’re never gonna know if you run away.

Thanks for the offer, sam, but I don’t think that’s the right gig for me. Ever since we were kids, this guy has had adventure in his veins. He’s right. Dante’s always had my number. My break’s about over. I should probably head back. Oh, okay, but you were gonna tell me something before adam interrupted me. Right. You know, it’s not really important. It can wait. Really? Because I can’t shake the feeling that you’re hiding something from me. No, no, no, I — look, I’m sorry. I’m probably giving off, like, really weird vibes. I-I’m just really worried about my mom. Okay. Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. Just know that you can tell me anything. Okay? Joss, I love you. I love you, too. The most important thing to me is that nikolas and spencer work out their problems. And so if the two of you are back on track, then…it seems like you’ll be sticking around. That is if spencerdecides to stay. The decision is his. I’ll support whatever you decide, son. Seems like a win-win to me. How could I refuse such a generous offer? Well, then it’s settled. And as a welcome-home gift, I’ll wire you your first payment. Thanks. I’ll come, too.

[ Door closes ] I thought they’d never leave. Are you really okay with esme staying here? I’m committed to my marriage, just like I’m committed to you and your father moving forward. If that means I have to put up with esme, I will do my best to tolerate her. So help me. You didn’t say anything to ava? She doesn’t suspect? No. And listen, what happened between us can never happen again. We are both back together with our partners and we have another shot at making things work. I think it’s best if ava and spencer never find out what happened. I totally agree. Ava and spence never have to find out. It’s been nice meeting you, dr. Robinson, mr. Taggert. Unfortunately, I have an early morning tomorrow. It was nice meeting you, too, rory. Actually, I was just leaving, so I’ll walk you out. Mm-hmm. I’ll see you soon, trina. Okay. See you soon.

[ Door closes ]

[ Giggles ]

[ Chuckles ] Um…okay. Wait a second. He was nice. He was cute, too. Okay, mom — no, I’m just saying. I-I don’t know. I picked up a little, I don’t know, connection. Like you said, he’s a nice person. And I barely know him. Okay, whatever you say.

[ Squeals ]

[ Both laugh ] Okay. I’ll stay in port charles. For wiley. You’re making the right choice. And I’ll watch that sweet little boy become a stranger to me. Or even worse… afraid of me because of what his family has said about me. I’m not sure how I’m gonna handle that. Well, you’re not gonna handle that alone. ‘Cause you got me and you got phyllis and family and friends. We’re here for you, okay? That’s a good thing. Every step of the way. Because I don’t know how I’m gonna watch wiley grow up without me. Or how I’m gonna live without that little boy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Britt? What the hell just happened? Now that’s an entrance. Hello, port charles! Whew! That was cute. Yeah? No. Can someone get me out of this pool? Someone’s coming. Mom, what is it? As long as it’s not bad news. Oh, my god. It’s true. Nina is willow’s mother. Michael: Mom? You okay?

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, that look on your face better not be disappointment. No, I’m — I’m always happy to see you. You know that. But you’d be happier if nina was here. Did she come by here? Not today. Yeah, ’cause I called her, sent texts, and then she didn’t get back to me. You’re worried about the hearing? I just — I just think she would have, you know, told me if the judge, you know, ruled. Well, maybe it’s still going on. You could head over there and offer your support. I already did that, and, uh, I just made it worse. I’m fine. Fine. You sure? Yeah. I’m just trying to decompress from the day.

[ Sighs ] Tell me about it. Hey. Hey. So how’d it go? We won. Nina’s petition was denied. And she has no one to blame but herself. Well, congratulations. It really does feel like a victory, doesn’t it? I mean, after everything she put us through, all that crap she spewed on the stand, it’s over. Nina can never stake claim to our family again. Oh. I can’t believe you beat me again. You know, maybe we should just play a different game. Like what? I don’t know. I’m just throwing this out there — volleyball? No way. Why not? You’re too good. Oh, finally, a little respect.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ah, who could that be? Um, cameron? You guessed it. He texts a lot. This is esme’s jacket. Esme? Spencer. Spencer: Esme? That’s weird. This door is never locked. Who would have done that?

Ohh!

[ Grunts ] Don’t worry about me. Britt, are —

[ Grunts ] Are you okay? Do I look like I’m okay? Dante, feel free to arrest that guy at any time. Involving the law seems a little bit extreme. He could have killed me! Don’t be dramatic. I’m sorry? He’s obviously part of the entertainment. He was just doing a really cool stunt. I, for one, am thoroughly entertained. Arrest him. Uh, okay. First things first. Dude, can you get out of the pool, please? Yeah, yeah. Just give me a sec. I’m a little tied up here. Yeah, well, then get on getting un-tied-up. Yeah, working on it.

[ Straps jingling ] Okay, man, come on. Out of the pool. I’ll give you five seconds. Let’s go. Here, I’ll count. Five, four, three, two — alright, okay! Alright. Okay, there, there. It’s official. I’m completely free. Not for long. Cody. Dante? Whoa. I don’t believe this. Look, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, nina is not gonna disappear quietly into the sunset. Yeah, well, she took her best shot, and she lost. So can we please stop talking about nina and go home and celebrate with wiley?

[ Sighs ] If only it were that simple. Why isn’t it? Hey, michael, I was hoping to talk to you. Can I steal you for a sec? Sure. If this is about the hearing… uh, yes and no. Um… it’s mostly about elq. That hearing sounds like a nightmare. Yep, it was. Maybe it’s naive of me, but… things seemed simpler back in nixon falls, didn’t they? When you had a problem with a neighbor, you worked it out across the fence. Over a nice, cold beer at the tan-O.

[ Chuckles ] And families duked it out at thanksgiving, not in court. And lawyers get their fees, and everybody walks away like they lost, even when they won. That must have been excruciating, standing up for nina, knowing what it would do with your relationship to your son. Yeah, it was really bad. Be honest, though — if you could go back and do it all over again, would you make a different choice? Esme. You in there? Guess not.

[ Breathlessly ] Ava. What are you, uh — hi. Hello. W-what exactly were you doing in there?

Here you go. Oh, thanks. Really, brad? What? He looks cold. I’m sorry about getting you all wet, but in my defense, I was told that the pool was gonna be clear.

[ Scoffs ] Well, it wasn’T. Yeah, I see that now.

[ Sighs ] What the hell are you doing here, man? I was working. As a skydiver? When I have to, yeah. A jack of all trades. Exactly. What about you? Where did dante falconeri end up? Besides port charles. Okay, this little catch-up of y’all’s is really cute, but can you go ahead and arrest him now? Get out of town. You’re a cop? Guilty as charged. You, an officer of the law? Dante, I swear, if you don’t do something —

[ Chuckles ] That is hilarious. Well… how about now?

[ Chuckles ] Funny now or, uh…

[Claps shoulder] Not so much? Hey. So, how are you feeling after all this? Um, mainly relieved. I just can’t wait to move forward, get on with our lives. It got pretty intense with nina. How fully did I lose it? I’ve never seen you that angry. I don’t think I’ve ever been that angry. I mean, for us to go through what we did and then have nina come begging after the fact — like, really, nina? Now? After having her lawyer say in open court that michael was violent toward women, that nelle, a psychotic murderer, was cowering in the shadows with her baby because she was scared of him? Why would I ever let her near my child after she did that to wiley’s father? Look, I’m not gonna tell you what to do when it comes to your dad. I’m not gonna tell you what to do when it comes to anything, for that matter. If you want to take sonny down, that is your call. Okay. But I can’t have you distracted, michael. I mean, this is a high-risk business venture, okay? You and I, we’ve got to be present. We’ve got to be focused with this, and if whatever’s going on with your dad gets in the way of that, then I’m gonna have a problem with it. Alright. I heard you. I’d like you to know where I’m coming from. Fair enough. Nina lie d to my familyfor six months. She carried on a romance with sonny in nixon falls while we grieved a man we thought was dead. I understand that. She also came and visited wiley under false pretenses. She took advantage of our willingness to give her a second chance. That is why we fought this petition. Nina’s a bad influence and not a person we wanted in wiley’s life. And as his parents, that is our choice to make. I couldn’t agree more with that. Thank you. Sonny disagrees, and today, he got on the stand, and he testified on nina’s behalf. Uh — it doesn’t surprise me at all that you’re furious about this. But michael, you — you’ve had this campaign against your dad way before today’s hearing. You’re right. Would I change anything? I kept asking myself that when I walked out of the courtroom. And? No, I wouldn’T. And I know that probably makes me look like a traitor, especially in michael’s eyes. But I see it as, you know, being true to what I believe. Did you say that in your testimony? I just said that I-I thought that wiley deserves to have more love, not less, and people should put him first. And even if you make mistakes, you should, you know, learn by them and then lead by example. No one’s perfect. Amen to that. And that includes me. But I’m not gonna apologize for who I am. I’m not gonna sit back and watch a loving grandmother be cut out of her grandson’s life. It’s wrong. Wow. Nina means that much to you? Wiley means that much to me. And I just hope that he — he grows up. And I just want him to be not just michael’s son or my grandson. I want him to be his own man. You know, wiley, you are so lucky that you don’t have a girlfriend who drives you crazy. I have a girlfriend. Who? You. Oh. And do I drive you crazy? Not today. Oh, not today. Good to know. You know what else I know? What? You’re gonna be a real heartbreaker when you grow up. What’s a heartbreaker? Actually, wiley, I have an idea. Do you want to take a little trip? Where? You’ll see. Come on, let’s clean up.

[ Doorbell rings ] What the hell? You did not have to come all the way out here. Based on your text, clearly I did. What happened with esme? Everything was going great, I swear. I cut a deal with ava to get esme and me out of the house, and in exchange, I was going to get access to my trust fund. Plus, it would have the added benefit of giving me and esme more time together. It was a win-win-win. Okay, that’s perfect. Shows esme that you care. Where’d it go wrong? Esme started tearing into trina. I couldn’t help it. I lost my cool, and I took off. Where? I went for a ride to clear my mind. Oh, I’m assuming on horseback, because…you’re you. I realized that I messed up, so I came back to try to talk things out, and now she’s gone. Esme’s left the island? I don’t know. Her suitcase is right there, and I can’t find her. It’s like she vanished. Is spencer with you? I thought I heard his voice. Oh, you did.

[ Door closes ] He’s looking for esme. Have you seen her? Esme? Yes. No, I haven’T. You seem nervous, nikolas. I’m just — I’m getting my bearings. I was…doing some reading, and then I fell asleep. With the door locked? Was it locked? Mm-hmm. The wind must have blown it shut, locking it by accident. Well, that must have been some nap. Your hair’s all mussed up, and you missed a button. Should we go downstairs? No, no. Let’s — let’s stay, okay? It’s quiet here and private. Perfect for what I have to say.

[ Sighs ] I think you made your feelings pretty clear when you threatened to walk out. Yeah. Nikolas, about that.

[ Quiet clatter ] Wha– what was that?

You’re messing with me, right? No, man. Reckless endangerment. You could have actually hurt someone. Me. That someone is me. Dude, this is a legit gig. Alright, if you have an issue, take it up with the people who hired me. Officer: Need a hand, detective? Uh, no. Thanks, officer. Thanks for the cuffs, though. Yeah, thanks. I know you want to get in there. But I can’T. Just a few more weeks. What? Can we sit down and talk? So, I’m just curious about the job description. Did it say “party crasher” or what? Well, I was supposed to parachute into the pool, make a big splash — literally. But then — what is your name? It’s britt. But then britt here was smack in the middle of my landing zone. Spinelli: I mean, it’s kind of a brilliant marketing strategy, if you ask me. You know, a singles event with eligible men literally raining from the sky. I mean, not — not that I took any pleasure in how it transpired. And of course, the chief concern is that you’re okay, yes? I’m fine. See? She’s fine. But I could have drowned. So off to jail you go now. Bye-bye.

[ Claps hands ] Come on, man. You’re not really doing this, are you? Nina is certifiable. In one breath, it’s, “please take pity on me. You’re wonderful parents.” And then in the next, it’s, “just kidding. Michael is a woman and child abuser.” Yeah, she’s a piece of work, that’s for sure.

[ Sighs ] And I am just done. She’d better not show up or try to contact us. The judge made her decision. It’s over. I couldn’t agree more. And all that matters now is wiley and giving him the best childhood as possible. That is 100% the plan. I knew sonny was different after nixon falls. But the first time I realized I didn’t know who he is anymore was at nina’s trial when he defended her. A few weeks later, he slept with her. And a few weeks after that, sonny and my mom were divorced. And you are furious on your mom’s behalf. No, no, I’m furious myself for all the years wasted believing in sonny, believing in his honor, his loyalty, his love. But I see sonny for exactly what he is now. He’s a criminal with a long line of luck. This is where his luck ends, and I’m going to see to it. Okay, well, that’s where I step in, alright? ‘Cause I know what’s going on. Dante told me that you plan to use elq to go after sonny. And you don’t want any part of that? No, I don’t want any part of that. Look, I’m not just some guy that you work with, right? You got to remember, I’m your uncle. And yes, obviously, I want to protect elq, but way more than that, I want to protect you. I’m good, thank you. Just — just hear me out, please. Look, honestly? I mean, sonny and I have never really been all that close, even when I thought I was jason, and I agree with you. I agree that he’s acted badly, and I am going to stop short of saying that he failed his family, because this is a complicated — this is a tricky situation. That is exactly what he did. Well, a lot of people close to you don’t feel the same way. So the harder that you push sonny, the harder it’s going to be for dante, for christina, and especially for avery and for donna. I mean, they’re too young to be able to grapple with all this. Loving my siblings and propping sonny up are two very different things. I’m not asking you to prop sonny up. That is what we do every time we pretend that sonny is a legit coffee importer. Look, I’m not a gangster. I’m not going to go in guns blazing. I’m a businessman, and I’m a better one than he is. I’m gonna outmaneuver sonny. And I’m gonna do it without elq. Are you sure about that? I’m not gonna let my issues with my father get in the way of our business together. So you keep them separate, right? Because our company and everybody that depends on us can’t be used in some way to punish sonny. Understood. I don’t need to read a transcript to know your heart’s in the right place. I saw it for myself in nixon falls, the way you stood up to elijah when he was trying to take advantage of us, how you treated us like family. When lenny got sick… you are family. Hell, you almost died when you pulled nina and me from that fire. Make sure you tell wiley that one day. I have a feeling that you’ll get a chance to tell him that yourself.

[ Telephone rings ] Charlie’s pub. Yes, that’s me. Oh, hi, mr. Baldwin. No, she hasn’t come in. I see. Yes, of course I will. Bye. Scott? Nina lost.

[ Sighs ] I cannot believe that you let esme get inside your head again. I do not need a lecture, okay? Not today. It was bad enough seeing trina with officer what’s-his-face at the gallery. Trina was with rory? There was nothing going on, but I didn’t love it. And then to come home and have esme rip into her — look, trina does not need you defending her honor. She can take care of herself. I know that. Clearly, you don’T. Meanwhile, my brothers are very upset with my mom being away, and joss goes into combat mode every time I suggest that you’re not evil incarnate. I’m sorry. I know that this is rough on you. Look, I don’t need your sympathy, okay, spencer? What I need you to do is expose your girlfriend already. It — it must have been the bats! Bats? This is the time of afternoon that they come out. We should be grateful — they eat all of the insects.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’ll be sure to send a thank-you note. Bats. Vermin with wings. Now, will you join me downstairs? In a minute. Nikolas, I need to apologize. I’m sorry that I threatened to walk out on you. I didn’t mean it. I’m — I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.

Amantha, might you be ableto persuade your beau that there’s no need for such drastic measures? What? I agree. Let muscles off with a warning. Or a good spanking. Dante: Okay, sorry, the law’s the law. But, uh, let’s go. I’ll do you the favor of not arresting you in front of an audience, okay? Wait. I’m coming with you. Okay. This your girlfriend? Yeah. Sam, cody. Cody, sam. Ah. The pleasure’s all mine. And we’re out of here. Let’s go. Britt: Enjoy lock-up. So much for finding true love, huh? Yeah. Happily ever after is hard to come by. Makes me wonder. What? Maybe it’s better to just quit while you’re ahead. You know, save yourself the agony. It’s definitely a smart play. Unfortunately, finn was always the smart one in the family. Hey. Everything okay? Willow: Everything’s great. Everything turned out the way it was meant to for everyone involved. You ready to go home? So ready. Mommy, daddy! Oh! Hey, buddy. Wiley, what are you doing here? I brought him. I figured that you’d want to see him. I hope that’s okay. More than okay. Thank you. You know what? You are a sight for sore eyes. Why are your eyes sore? They’re not.

[ Laughter ] Yeah, michael. Come on, man. What gives? Stop. I heard the news. I’m sorry. Um… can you call me and text me, and I’ll be right there.

[ Exhales deeply ] Do me a favor. If she comes here, just let me know, will you? Where are you going? I’m gonna find her. You’re worried. So am I. But possibly, nina may not want to be found. Maybe the point is for her to be alone right now… mm-hmm. …To process, to grieve, to scream. Last time she was this angry, she went straight to nixon falls. But doesn’t that prove my point? I need to be with her.

[ Sighs ] You don’t even know where to start, sonny. That’s where you’re wrong.

[ Door closes ] Aren’t you gonna say something? I thought it was over. Th at you were gonna give up on us. No, I — I guess I was thinking about it. But then I went to the firing range to blow off some steam, and I ran into your mother. And laura told me that you asked her to write a letter of recommendation to the adams day school for avery. Yeah, I-I knew my mother would be happy to help. Turns out she knows the headmistress. Yeah. That’s what she said. So the letter’s already sent, and she has a call in to the director of admissions. And that’s great. I mean, I’d — I’d really like avery to go to adams. But hearing what you did without making a big fuss or wanting any credit, it was a real wake-up call for me. It reminded me how thoughtful and generous you can be. After my anger cooled down, I was able to hear your mother’s sage advice. Are you sure it wasn’t a lecture?

[ Chuckles ] Maybe a little bit of both. But it got me thinking, and not that we don’t have real issues to work through, because we do. But I have never been a quitter, and I do not intend to start being one now. Do you?

Okay, so you’re notsome world-famous physician like your brother, but you’re smart in other ways. How so? Like knowing when to step in and save me from blowing it with valentin. You sacrificed so much, chase, to protect bailey from peter. Yeah, but not necessarily smart. Heroic, then. Maybe I was wrong. About? The whole “quitting while you’re ahead” thing. Maybe it’s the exact opposite. You know, you need to jump in more, think less. I can do that. Yeah? Yeah. In fact, I’m gonna make the leap right now. I will do everything I can, brook lynn, to help you get your music back. Here you go. More coffee? I assure you, it is the best way through. And you know what? I-I have a prediction. What’s that? That one day, we’ll look back on the events of today and have only fond memories. Oh, yeah, I will.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t go getting any ideas. He is all mine. For a second, I thought you were actually gonna haul me in. Oh, well, for a second there, I actually was gonna haul you in. A tip, if I may? Hit me. Well, next time you decide to jump out of an airplane for money, make sure you don’t jump into a pool, public or private. Noted. Hmm. You know, you’re really lucky that dante had an extra change of clothes in his car. Hmm. Yeah. Gracias, compadre. Mm. Well, you’re welcome, but I want them back. Yeah. Bummer. So that, uh, britt woman. She’s something else, huh? Well, that’S… one way to put it.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, you should be thanking us. Actually, we, uh — we saved you from her wrath. Alright, well, I’ll pay you back by letting you buy me dinner. Oh, cool. Yeah. All that commotion’s really got me starving. Hey, uh, phyllis. Hi. I just wanted you to meet a friend of mine, cody. Hi. Nice to meet you, cody. You too. Hey, uh, everything okay? Nina? Did you have fun with aunt josslyn? We played a game, and I won. You did? Actually, I demand a rematch. Thank you so much for taking care of him while we were… indisposed. Yeah. Yes, of course, anytime. Is everything good? What were you doing here? Well, you weren’t the only one playing a game. Your mommy and daddy won, too.

[ Gasps ] You did? We did. Oh, thank god. Oh, I’m so happy that… you know, the game worked out the way we hoped. So are we. You’re right. I can’t keep ping-ponging from esme to trina and then back again. If I’m gonna make this work, I need to show esme that I am all in. It just drove me crazy seeing trina at the gallery with that cop. Spencer, I’m gonna say something, and I need you to hear me. I’m going back to take care of jake and aiden, but I will not — I repeat, I will not lose joss because you can’t keep your head in the game. Do whatever it takes at this point, okay? I don’t care. Confess to trina. Suck it up to esme. Just make it happen tonight. Or I will. What brought on this change of heart? I just told you. Right. My mother and a letter of recommendation. And me. Why didn’t you tell me this before? Before what? Before we came so close to losing what we have. Well, I’m telling you now. That’s got to count for something. It counts for everything. And yes, we — we still have issues, and of course we need to discuss them. But — but not here. Come with me. You won’t regret it. Oh, how wrong you are, nikolas. Ava will regret it.

[ Scoffs ] And so will you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You have the hots for parachute guy? Not that I blame you, but those weren’t the vibes I was getting. I’m interested, but only to the extent that he completely proved my point. I mean, what’s better evidence that true love is a total lie than some cynical attempt to try to sell it with stunts? There was nothing cynical about it. Yeah, what’s wrong with a little romance? And bonus if it’s wrapped in a package as drool-worthy as candy’S. Cody. Whatever. His name could be elmer for all I care. Okay. I’m going to sue him for assaulting me. Okay, I think “assault” is a bit of a stretch. Even if I have to sue him for every stitch of clothing he’s not wearing. Everything copacetic? Uh, yeah, just, uh… just some family stuff. Well, let me know if I can help. So, who are you? Cody bell. We met at the pool? Um, I know, I know. Just an hour ago, I didn’t even know you existed, and now you and dante seem to be picking up right where you left off.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know how it is when you’re friends from childhood — you’re…literally growing up together. And getting in trouble together. Yeah, that too. Maybe I do think too much. You do. I should start seizing the moment more. Yeah, there’s no time like the present.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] It’s my brother. He’s having a tough time with everything going on with elizabeth. You should go be with him. Really? Really. Okay, uh… okay. Thanks. Uh, yeah. Um, and tomorrow, it’ll be all about you and me and getting the goods on linc. Right. And — and once we do, we can use it to get your music back. I’ll see you tomorrow. Can’t wait. Me either. So, that was quite a splashdown. Brad: I’ll say. Britt: Oh, you would. Hey, he can splash into my bath any day. Actually, technically, a tub, as it were, is — is indoors, so you can’t really splash down into it. Carly: Hey, can I get a hug goodbye? Of course she can. Oh! [ Smooches ] I love you so much. You always remember that, okay? I will.

[ Laughter ] Alright, alright. Well, I’ll walk with you guys out. Talk later? Yes, yes, yes. And I’m so happy for you guys. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations, guys. I’ll see you later. See ya. Goodbye.

[ Sighs ]

[ Laughs ] So — what was that little head nod? Was that — was that about the dna results, or was that because willow doesn’t know yet? It was the results. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. Wow. I guess that’s for the best. Yeah. Oh, yeah, especially after the hearing. I mean, it was brutal. Michael did tell me a little bit about it. Sonny testified for nina? Oh, that was the least of it. And the whole ordeal happened because of nina, because of her selfishness and because she has entitlement issues. And poor willow. Willow is just exhausted and she’s angry, and she wants nina as far away from her family as possible. So it would have been awful if nina ended up being her mom. Yeah. Yeah. But she’s not. Thank god. I wonder why harmony said that she was. Harmony was a troubled woman. But it doesn’t matter where willow came from. It matters who she is today and how much she loves michael and wiley and the life they have to look forward to. Spencer: Finally. Where have you been? Around. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Esme, there’s something that I need to tell you. That’s funny. There’s something I have to tell you, too. Nikolas, you’re acting strangely. What is going on? Hey! You’re scaring me. Spit it out. There’s something you need to know.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. Ahh! Finally. Where have you been? Uh, deception. I got stuck on a call with home and heart. I thought maybe you had an attack of common sense and decided to skip this ordeal. What — what ordeal? Looks like everyone’s having a good time. Look closer. Britt, what’s the problem? Simple. I don’t know what I’m doing here. Uh, staying open to possibilities? If you’d only just put yourself out there, you would have guys falling all over you. Is that even what I want? Well, you’ll never know unless you try. Come on, britt. We’ve both been through hell, and we deserve some good karma. What’s better karma than donating to a worthy cause while sipping cocktails by the pool? I will give you that one. These drinks are delicious. Hm. Okay, um, you just need to follow my lead. Forget the past and look to the future.

[ Scoffs ] I’m looking forward, and I like what I see. Maxie: Hi. Austin: This is for you. Thank you. Hey. So glad you made it. Thanks. Mm. Are you okay? Better all the time. Brad is coming with my next drink. Sorry that took so long. Ooh.

[ Sighs ] I know you don’t like austin for maxie. Yes, that’s — that’s exactly it. You know, maxie is the — is the mother of my child. I’ll — I’ll always be protective of her. Uh, drew, drew, drew, come — come join us. Hey. Spinelli, look at you. Hey. Aw. You look amazing. You look so good. Sam, goes without saying that you look even better. Thank you. That’s always nice to hear. It’s the truth. It’s so wonderful to see you. I-I-I can’t wait to hear about everything you’ve got going on. I swear, I’m not mad at you. Okay, I-I’m not mad at you anymore. We both got a little heated. Yeah, we definitely need to clear the air. You first.You first.

[ Clears throat ] Okay, I’ll go first. Great. I’m listening. Judge foster said she didn’t need a lot of time to prepare her ruling, scott. Is that good or bad? I don’t know, but we’ll know shortly.

The role of michael corinthos is temporarily being played by robert adamson.

Why weren’t there any closing arguments? Because, my dear, this is a hearing, not a trial. Apparently, judge foster heard everything she needed to make a decision. How much damage do you think scott did with that rewrite of what happened with claudia? I’m not gonna speculate. We’re just gonna have to wait for the judge to come back. Michael, where’s your mother? She said that she had an errand she needed to do. Well, must be really important. Otherwise, you know she’d be here. Well, no one thought the judge was gonna come back with a decision so fast, but I better text her. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to miss this.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Come on. Hello, ava. Why am I not surprised to find you at a shooting range? Same reason I’m not surprised to see you here. It’s probably a good idea, brushing up on your gun skills, given the company you’re currently keeping.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Oh, that wasn’t you dining out with victor cassadine at the metro court? Funny. I don’t remember seeing you there. I wasn’t there, but I have sources. Apparently, you were getting pretty cozy. Planning on upgrading from nikolas to victor? Is that the plan? I’ll tell you something. Your father is certainly a lot more charming than you are. Anna: Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Valentin’s had his moments. I’m gonna go for a ride. We can talk about this after. Walk out that door, and I may not be here when you get back. No such luck.

[ Gasps ] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I’m not.

Bailiff: All rise.

[ Door closes ] Please be seated. It is the opinion of this court that parents have the right to determine who is a part of their child’s life, just as they are responsible for anything that affects their child. However, the law in new york state is very clear. It allows a biological grandparent, such as ms. Reeves, to petition to see their grandchild. That law is why we’re here today and the only reason I allowed this circus to go on as long as it has. The law gives ms. Reeves the right to be heard, regardless of the merits of her case. I’ve heard both arguments, for and against visitation. The respondent party has proven that the petitioner’s presence in wiley corinthos’ life would be detrimental. I hereby deny the petitioner, nina reeves, visitation with the minor child.

[ Gavel bangs ] Oh, thank god. We won.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry, britt. Somebody bumped into me. I know. Don’t use this as an excuse to leave. No harm. [ Chuckles ] Just get me another cocktail. You have great reflexes. She’s like a panther. Okay, we’re gonna sit down and let you two singles mingle. Mingle.

[ Sighs ] Here. Take mine. None of it spilled. And they’re the right price — free. Thanks.

[ Sighs ] Wow, y-you got to admit, there are some hot guys here. A-and did I tell you how sexy you look in that outfit? Easy, brad. I might think you’re trying to boost my confidence. Hello, there. Didn’t you say you didn’t need a singles mixer? That you’re already seeing someone? It looks like that’s not gonna work out. Like, what do you mean? You — you — you said you guys have great chemistry. We did, but he just got a job offer in chicago. He tried to turn it down, but I told him not to. The opportunity’s just too good. Oh, uh, excuse me. Hi. I’m just gonna take this whole tray drinks. Oh, no. We need them! Oh. Look what you did. It’s okay. Anna, I’m here, as you requested. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned. I think you’re gonna like it. Well, anna, I would warn you not to trust him, but something tells me you wouldn’t listen. Did ava say something? Do you care? I do not. I was a little worried you were gonna stand me up.

[ Gunshots in distance ] What, you were afraid that I was gonna pay you back for all the times you disappeared on me? I have a bad habit of doing that. I’m sorry to be such a disappointment. Can I take your invitation to join you here as a sign you’re willing to give me a second chance? A second chance? I-I think that you’re on about 99 at this point. Yet here we are. Yet here we are.

[ Gunshots continues ] Choose your weapon. Oh. Am I going to need to defend myself? So, drew, sam tells me that you’re gonna be serving as scout’s swim coach. Now, okay, I-I-I know you were a navy seal, but how good of a swimmer actually are you? And a-are — are you certified to coach? And are there gonna be other kids there that are around scout’s age? And, I mean, I assume the quartermaines are gonna be heating the pool, right?

[ Chuckles ] Well, um, scout’s in the 7-and-8 group on the country club team. I’m just a volunteer coach. You know, I just pitch in when the staff there ask me to help. But I-I just want to make it fun. I don’t want it to feel like it’s olympic training. Sure. Dante: Hey, guys. Hey. I’m sorry I disappeared on you. Oh, it’s forgiven. Do you want a drink? Ooh, yeah, a-allow me. No, I-I’m good, spinelli, actually. Thanks. Uh… can I talk to you for a minute, actually? Sure. Spinelli, what’s going on? Mm? Why are you so desperate to get away from me? Oh, perish the thought. No, stop. You’re dodging my questions. What’s going on? I can admit I may have gone too far asking for your help to go after linc. You mean when you asked me to entrap linc and risk getting thrown off the force for good? Yes, that. I-it wasn’t a good idea to ask a cop, even one on suspension, to do something potentially… catastrophic. …Not strictly legal. It’s just, you’ve helped me so much in the past. I-I guess I got carried away. But you also overreacted. We can agree on that, right? Okay. Sure. Great. So we’re good, then. You do realize you never actually said you were sorry. I’m sorry. Now can we move on? I have one more thing to say about that. Of course you do. I’ve decided I’m gonna help you take linc down, after all.

So, what happened?

[ Slurping ] Brad? Hmm? You should go talk to that really hot waiter over there. Where? Are you sure it’s not gonna work with this guy? I mean, you seemed so happy about him. I’m disappointed, but it’s okay. I’m not buying it. I mean, we both know quality men are few and far between. Chet and I met by accident, we texted a lot, but we only went on one follow-up date. We weren’t officially a couple.

[ Sighs ] Love sucks. I’m definitely not talking about love. Chet and I had potential, that’s all. And I’m just sorry we’re not gonna see where that leads. This is what happens. Life offers you something, then snatches it away. And bailey and i played peekaboo this morning. Ah, I love what a happy baby she is. It’s kind of incredible considering the first year of her life was such a roller coaster. And here I am again, rambling on about my kids. I’m so sorry. No, don’t be. I-I love when you talk about your kids. You kind of light up. It’s really beautiful on you. Probably in her room, waiting for me to come looking for her.

[ Clears throat ] You changed your mind? You — you want to help me with linc? Yeah. You made me apologize to you. That’s because you needed to.

[ Scoffs ] You’re right. I did. And I accept your apology. So let’s go get that slimeball. Is there a problem? Well, that depends. Are you backing michael’s vendetta? What are you talking about? Michael says he’s gonna dismantle everything sonny’s built. I think it’s pretty unlikely michael’s gonna start firebombing sonny’s warehouse. Yeah, of course not. So, wait. I’m — I’m sorry. What does this have to do with me? Michael’s gonna use elq to target sonny. Judge foster: Mr. Baldwin, your mischaracterization of michael corinthos bordered on slander. The court is perfectly capable of reading and comprehending a criminal record. Your distortion wasted the court’s time, tried its patience, and did your client no favors. As far as the court’s concerned, this matter is closed. Court’s adjourned. We did it. It’s over.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. Oh. It was a legitimate argument. I mean, if she’d just listened… nina, listen, I’m sorry. I-I-I gave it my best shot. Michael, willow, I’m so happy for you both. Carly, what’s wrong? Willow. Michael. Please. Please reconsider. A walther ppk? It’s a classic. Yeah. How about you? Oh, I have my own. Obviously. It is a classic. Okay, so let’s decide on the rules for this little shooting competition. Whoever gets the cleanest set of kills wins. What are the stakes? Um, if you win, I’ll have dinner with you. And if you win? I don’t know. Not sure. Have to see. What if it’s a draw? It won’t be. Okay, well, you’re using your own weapon. I’ve never used this one before. You have an unfair advantage. Want me to give you a little time to practice? Yeah? Does that seem fair? That sounds fair. Okay.

[ Gun cocks ] Okay. What? That’s it? One shot? I mean, that’s your idea of practice? I only need one. You should know that about me. Once I get a feel for it, I always hit my target.

Se don’t cut meout of wiley’s life completely. You knew the risks when you took this case to court. Your petition was denied. There’s nothing left to say. I know that, legally, I have no rights to see wiley. I’m at your mercy. Oh, now you’re asking for mercy? After you had scott try to destroy michael’s reputation? Listen, I’ll take anything. Supervised visitation.

[ Scoffs ] I-I’ll come over to your house. You both can be there the entire time. Why would I ever let wiley spend time with a woman who had her lawyer tell lies about his father on the stand? All you proved today, nina, is that you will say anything, do anything to get your way. And when it doesn’t work out, then you start crying.

Then you claim you didn’t mean it or you were misunderstood. You are the one who pushed the issue by taking this to court. There is no going back now.

[ Breathing heavily ] Willow, are you okay? Michael and i are wiley’s parents, and like the judge said, it is up to us to decide what is best for him. And we do not think you can be trusted with him. It is really that simple. You can’t change this. I love wiley, and he loves me. Wiley doesn’t know any better. That’s why we are protecting him from you. Come on, nina. Let’s get out of here. Nina should really sue baldwin for malpractice. I mean, they never really had a case, and that stunt he pulled by attacking you, that totally alienated the judge. All the matters now is that it’s over. The judge found in our favor, thanks to you, diane. I agree. I didn’t want this hearing, but I am so glad it’s now legally settled. Thank yourselves. Michael, for the most part, you held up beautifully under scott’s attack. And, willow, you were nothing short of brilliant on the stand. I was fighting for wiley to make sure nina won’t have the chance to hurt our son. Why aren’t you texting me back, esme? Oh, I get it. You want me to beg. Well, that’s not gonna happen.

[ Door opens ] Ava: Nikolas! Oh, it’s you. Obviously. Have you seen your father? Thank you. You’ve always been so considerate with me.

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe that just happened. Are you alright? I mean, I knew michael was planning on cutting sonny out of his life, but I had absolutely no idea that he wanted to use elq resources to — to take him down. Are you sure? Mm. Well, michael told me he’s gonna take sonny down. He didn’t say he was gonna use elq to do it, but call it an educated guess. Look, I-I get michael’s anger towards sonny. I mean, his dad chose the woman who kept him away from his family for months over michael’s own mother. Look, if it’s a legitimate deal that benefits elq but also damages sonny, I can’t stand in michael’s way. But with that said, I would never do anything to weaken elq. Does michael know that? Whoo! It’s june, and I was hoping to get out and hike a little bit soon, and I wondered if maybe you want to come with me sometime. Yeah, absolutely. Just as long as it’s not in pautuck. I’m not ready to go back there yet. I’m sorry. I know you love the woods there. I do, but we’ll find a place here in port charles, someplace that’s new for both of us. Okay. Deal. Yeah? Yeah. Great.

[ Giggles ] Britt:

[ Giggles mockingly ] Great, great. Is there a problem, britt? No. No. By all means, do your thing. Just explain something to me first. What are you two even doing at a singles mixer? This is also a charity fundraiser. Oh, my god. I’m officially a charity case?

[ Laughs ] I’m excited you’re on board. Not so fast. I have conditions. I will keep an eye on linc, see what I can dig up. I’ll see if he’s involved in any illegal activity, but I’m not gonna set linc up in any way. I would never ask you to do that. That’s exactly what you said. Okay, fine. That — that was before. We’re moving on now. Any help that you offer is appreciated. I’m not gonna lie. I was pretty nervous going after linc myself. Now you don’t have to. Not on my watch. You’re the best. Thank you.

[ Gunshots ] How did you do? I held my own. How did you do? Eh, well. I don’t know. It’s less of a challenge when the target isn’t moving. I don’t buy that. Unlike you, who just seems so very hard to pin down.

[ Gunshots in distance ] I meant what I said. I’M… I’m ready to stay put for a while. But you’ve always liked a moving target, haven’t you? So is that even gonna work for you? Oh, it — it depends… if there’s anything to stay put for. There will be. I promise you. Okay. Shall we see who won? I think I already know the answer to that. Hold, please. No, no. I-I just — I’m just gonna grab this one, okay. Okay, okay. Cheers. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckling ] Okay, britt. Do you think you should slow down? The drinks help me mingle. I’m not here for charity.

I’m here because I’m single so why am I talking to the two of you? I am still gonna be your friend after this. Why don’t we just leave them to it? Come on. I don’t know. I’ll keep an eye on britt. We both will. Okay. I’m fine.[ Chuckling ] Okay. Alright, wingman, wingwoman, let’s find me someone. Okay. Too short. Ooh, still lives with his parents. Uh, um, had — oh, had his teeth whitened too many times. And no. Just — just no. Too many freckles. Well, thank you for the heads up. I mean, I know firsthand how easy it is to let anger consume you, and…michael doesn’t deserve that. I agree. I’ll talk to him. Hey, nina, I got to sign some court documents. Should I call liesl? I don’t want to talk to anyone. I just can’t believe it’s over. I know. Listen, it was a hard loss. I thought for sure we were gonna win. But maybe I just convinced myself of that because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing wiley forever. Well — well, maybe michael and — and willow, they’ll reconsider. I’ve got to go. Aw.

[ Sighs ] I’m still waiting, spinelli. Okay, okay, I…cannot lie to you.

[ Exhales sharply ] Yes, something is going on. But I-I’m just not — I’m not ready to talk about my new…thing just yet. Okay, just promise me you’re not in danger. Oh, no, no. Heaven forfend. It’s not anything like that. I-I promise. Can we just — we just leave it at that for now? Look at that one in that hideous shirt.

[ Laughs ] Oh, that sounds like there’s a problem. Britt, you may want to lower your voice. You’re getting a little loud. And obnoxious. What are you saying, terry? Am I causing a scene? Not yet, but you are well on your way.

[ Groans ] Well, that won’t do. Oh.

[ Glass clinking ] It’s not loud enough.

[ Sighs ] You know, we keep talking around something, and I don’t want to ignore it anymore. Me, neither.

[ Britt whistling loudly ] What’s that? Listen up, everyone! I’m gonna blow your minds. Get ready. I have no idea where my father is, though there is this hot new invention called texting. You should try it sometime. Yeah, I-I am. He’s just — he’s not responding to me. I wouldn’t, either, if I saw your name. Never mind. I’ll find him myself. Wait. Ava, we need to talk. I just tried that. It didn’t really work for me. Esme and i are moving out. Oh, good. Yes, I saw esme’s suitcase in the foyer. Uh-huh. Well, our deal is that we move out, and I get access to my trust fund. Mm, mnh. Our deal is that I give you a weekly allowance. So is there something else? Well, we’re not moving back in with my grandmother and kevin. I’m sure laura will be very happy to hear that. We plan on staying in a five-star hotel, at least for a while.

[ Laughs ] That’s what you’re gonna do with your money? Well, I don’t think that’s very wise, but you do you. Well, I’m gonna need my first payout to book the room. Mm, not gonna happen. We have a deal. You’re still here. No, you don’t get any money until you and your girlfriend are really, truly, totally, completely out. Hey, we’re going. Not until you have a new place to stay. What? You don’t trust me?

[ Chuckles ] God, no. And I trust esme even less. I can’t believe we did that. I’m so sorry. I-I never expected that to happen.

[ Sighs ] Are you okay? I’m great. If I’m being totally honest, I’ve been fighting these feelings for a while. Have you been struggling, too? I’m sorry. I just — I feel like I took advantage of you. Oh, you did not take advantage of me. If anything, you saved me. I’ve been so lonely and sad. Spence has been so cold to me, and you’ve been so kind and caring. It was nice to feel close to someone again. To feel safe in your strong arms. And I’m sorry that spence wasn’t the man I thought he was, and I’m sorry that your marriage is over, but I can’t say that I’m anything but glad that we found each other. Esme, what we did is wrong. Spencer is my son. And spence and i are finished. To be clear, that was his choice, not mine. Going forward, spence has no say in what I do. Spencer will never forgive me for this. Spence… never has to know.

What are you saying, esme? For both our sakes, spence should never find out. It’ll be our secret. Is that what you want? Even though spence has made it perfectly clear he doesn’t give a damn what I do, I… the last thing I want is to cause trouble for you. I mean, I just couldn’t resist you. You’ve been so good to me. So, now that it’s all over, how you feeling? You alright? Well, this whole thing has been draining. Nina has put us through so much. But now that it’s over, I am pretty sure I will sleep well tonight. Thank you for everything, diane.

[ Chuckles ] Yes. I-I don’t know how you do it. Nothing ever seems to rattle you. Well, that’s — that’s not entirely true, but thank you for the compliment, michael. But that’s my job — to not lose my cool. And nina gave me so much to work with. And now you two have a legal ruling. If she comes anywhere near wiley, you can have her arrested. Ugh, well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but it’s good to know we have that protection. I so love it when the good guys win. Enjoy your victory. Hi. Hi. Thank you so much, diane. My pleasure, carly. And bonus points to you for holding it together during sonny’s testimony. Yeah, well, anything for wiley. Of course. Of course you’d feel that way. But I have some idea of what that cost you. Well done.

[ Exhales slowly ] Hey. Glad you were able to make it back in time for the verdict. But now we have to go celebrate.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I definitely agree. Justice was served. What about you, willow? Any second thoughts? No. [ Chuckles ] Why would I? I know tha t you were the onewho struggled the most with denying nina contact with wiley. Oh, n-not anymore.

[ Scoffs ] I see nina very clearly now. No, I’m thrilled that wiley is protected legally. We never have to see that awful woman again. Mom, what is that? What are we all doing here? Supporting a charity?! I don’t think so. Do something. I am. We are shelling out our hard-earned money on the search for love. We are suckers. Save your money and get a pet, okay? Everybody wants to find their special someone. And once you care for them, they leave you. N-n-not every time. You just have to find the right one. Oh, yes, the mythical right one. The one who will complete your life. The one who will stand by you to hell and back, who will trust you more than you trust yourself. You and the one will always have paris, right?! Wrong! Okay? Haven’t you seen how the movie ends? She flies away with the other guy, because it’s just a sappy movie. There is no right one. Uh, what the hell is going on right now? I need a drink.

[ Airplane engine roaring ] Is that…? H-have faith. Your time will come. Cupid will loosehis arrow — oh, duck and cover, people! Those suckers hurt, okay? You know, port charles is the anti-cupid, okay? No, actually, ’cause it’s a place, not a person. But cupid’s not a person, either. It’s just a chubby baby thing. Britt, I think you made your point. Let’s get you something to eat, okay? No, these people have to understand.

[ Roaring continues ] Oh, my god. There is no love. There’s no love in port charles, okay? All the good ones are taken — or dead.

[ Roaring gets louder ] If you’re looking for love in port charles, you might as well wait for someone to fall out of the sky. Uh, britt! What?! Man: Look out below! Terry: Oh, my god! Britt! Woman: No! Oh, no, no, no! Britt, britt! Look out!

[ Sighs ] Sorry, michael. Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother. Michael: Mom?
