Curtis: And it is your play, Trina.

Portia: Trina, w-w-what are you doing on your phone? You’ve been texting this whole evening. W-what’s going on? Who are you texting?

Curtis:  Only if you feel like sharing.

Trina: [ Sighs ] Uh, sorry. Um, I don’t mean to be rude. It’s Spencer. He needs me.

---

[ Knock on door ]

Spencer: Hey.

Alexis: Hey.

Spencer: Thanks for coming.

Alexis: Yeah. You said it was important. What’s up?

Spencer: [ Sighs ] Take your pick. Um, Esme was found, my father has sunk to a new low, and Britt is dead. [ Sniffles ]

Alexis: I’m really sorry about Britt, Spencer.

Spencer: It’s so wrong that she’s gone. And it scares me that there’s someone else out there who may be even more dangerous and unhinged than Esme is.

---

Jordan: How’d it go?

Dante: Hey, I’m just cueing up the footage now.

Jordan: I understand the position you’re in, but this investigation needs a break. Bennet’s interview with Westbourne was helpful in that we now know The Hook’s wearing a mask, but she’s still on the loose.

Dante: Yeah, I know.

Jordan: If you feel more comfortable, I can take the lead on the questioning.

Dante: No, no, no, no, no, no. It’s all good. It’s all good. We just — we need to get to the bottom of what happened, uh, to Britt Westbourne that night.

Jordan: That we do. And I’m hoping your connection with the witness pays off for all of our sakes.

---

Michael: Hey, drew, do you know where my mom is?

Drew: I do, yeah. Um…she’s with Nina.

Michael: Nina? This night is already bad enough. Why would she talk to Nina, of all people?

Drew: Michael, there’s, um… there’s something that you need to know.

Michael: Not — not if it has to do with Nina. Um, not now.

Drew: And I-I get it. I get it. Nina has made life very difficult for you and Willow.

Michael: Yeah, she’s been hounding us for months. I mean, she took us to court over Wiley, she was claiming that Willow was cheating on me. Nina can’t stay out of our lives, no matter what we do to avoid her.

---

Sonny: Hey.

Josslyn: Hey. Have you seen Michael?

Sonny: No, I, uh… I’m sure he’s close.

Josslyn: Something’s come up and I have to go. But I told Michael I’d stay with Willow, and I just feel really bad leaving her.

Sonny: I’ll sit with Willow. You go ahead — go ahead and go. I-I’ll explain it to Michael.

Josslyn: Okay.

---

Nina: Carly, before you start, if this is about me upsetting Willow again, I did not go over there for that.

Carly: That’s not what this is about. As you know, Willow is sick.

Nina: Yeah. I know that. That’s why Sonny and I were at the chapel. We were praying for Willow.

Carly: Praying is good. But you can do more to save Willow.

Nina: Anything I can do.

Carly: Good. Because you may be the only person on earth who can help.

---

Portia: Spencer needs you?

Trina: He needs a friend, Mom.

Portia: I didn’t realize you still considered Spencer to be a friend.

Trina: Well, I mean, Esme resurfaced, and Spencer found out that she’s pregnant — by his father — and then he lost Britt, who he was very close to. I mean, it’s — it’s been a lot on him.

Portia: I don’t doubt it. [ Chuckles ] Especially the pregnancy part. I-I’m sure Spencer has a lot to unpack. But what about Josslyn and Cam? Can’t they help him? [ Stammers ]

Curtis: Your mother and I know how amazingly compassionate you are, Trina.

Portia: Of course, we are extremely proud of your instinct to want to help someone that’s in need. But, um… [Sighs] You have a very giving and forgiving heart, and you’re going through a lot right now yourself.

Curtis: Your mother and I want to make sure that you’re supported. There’s just so much to process. Like, how do you feel about Esme being caught?

Trina: Wow, uh, that’s a question. [ Sighs ] And honestly, I’m conflicted. I mean, for months, I wanted Esme to face consequences for filming that video and framing me. She made my life hell.

Portia: Of course. Yes. You would want justice.

Trina: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I-I did, but… …I wanted more than justice. I wanted revenge. And part of me still does.

---

Alexis: So you’re living here now?

Spencer: I am living here now.

Alexis: Enough about that. I assume you’ve been told that the PCPD is no longer considering Esme as a suspect?

Spencer: Yes, but that doesn’t mean that she’s innocent of anything else. [ Chuckling ] I’ve learned to never underestimate Esme.

Alexis: No. Hard won wisdom.

Spencer: I did speak with her, though.

Alexis: What’d she say? I’m asking as your aunt, not as a — as an editor.

Spencer: That’s cool. Either way, she didn’t know who I was. Either she’s a very convincing fake, or she’s got amnesia.

Alexis: Or maybe it’s possible she committed the crimes and doesn’t remember.

Spencer: [ Scoffs lightly ]

Alexis: I think it’s smart that the PCPD moved on to other suspects.

Spencer: I almost wish that she was guilty just so that I could stop worrying that someone is targeting Trina and our other friends.

Alexis: Britt was incredibly brave.

Spencer: I almost wish that she wasn’t. Yes, she put her life on the line, but if she had just run away like the person who she was protecting, maybe she would have lived to fight another day. I don’t know.

---

Dante: Joss, hey. Thanks for, uh, coming down here so quickly.

Josslyn: Yeah, well, you said it was important on the phone.

Dante: Yeah, it is. It’s about The Hook Killer.

Josslyn: Did you find her?

Dante: Not yet. But I’m hoping you can help us out with some questions.

Josslyn: Well, I want to do whatever I can to help, but will it take long?

Dante: I don’t know. Why? Do you have someplace to be?

Josslyn: Actually, yes. I was with Willow. What’s this?

Jordan: Come in, Josslyn. Have a seat.

---

Sonny: You look so fragile.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Sonny: But I know you’re anything but. I’ve seen you take on Shiloh and Nelle to protect… Wiley. Been in a jail cell. [ Whispering ] Hey, you’re a fighter. That’s why I know you’re gonna fight this. You have the best medical care, and Michael’s gonna do everything he can to take care of you.

[ Beeping continues ]

Sonny: I just — I just wish I-I knew how to take care of you both.

---

Michael: Nina actually came to our house tonight and accused me of jeopardizing Willow’s health. She confused Wiley. She upset Willow. Look, if I have to get a restraining order, I’ll get one. I’ll do everything in my power to keep Nina away from Wiley and Willow.

Drew: Michael, Michael. You do not want to do that, okay? Listen, Carly and I think that Nina could be a bone marrow match for Willow.

Michael: What do you mean? Why? Why? What?

Drew: Well… [ Sighs ] Y-you know how I’ve been searching for Willow’s birth family, right?

Michael: Oh, come on. Don’t tell me that — that Nina’s some distant relative.

Drew: Not so distant.

---

Nina: I’m happy to get tested, just like everyone else.

Carly: You’re not like everybody else. You need to get tested now, and you need to rush the results.

Nina: Carly, I understand the urgency — I do, because Willow’s having a medical crisis. But why did you have to come to me personally?

Carly: Because a related donor transplant has the best chance of success, and you are the most likely match.

Nina: Willow and I are not related.

Carly: You are.

Nina: Are you alright? We’re only connected through Wiley, Carly, and that’s only because Nelle was my daughter.

Carly: Nelle isn’t your only daughter, Nina. Willow is, too.

---

Dante: Uh, you obviously know that, recently, Britt Westbourne was murdered by The Hook.

Josslyn: Yes.

Jordan: Dr. Westbourne was nicked trying to defend someone else.

Dante: We’ve been searching for the intended victim — the person that Britt rescued — and we got video footage from security cameras at the docks, and we think we have a lead. You recognize anyone?

Josslyn: Well… it’s grainy.

Dante: Yeah. Uh, look, Joss, that footage was captured on Pier 54 at 11:57 P.M. The night of December 31st, 15 minutes before Britt called the police about the attack on Pier 55.

Josslyn: What’s your question?

Jordan: Josslyn, was it your life that Dr. Britt Westbourne saved the night she died?

---

Curtis: You’re only human. It’s perfectly natural that you would want Esme to pay for her crimes.

Trina: Except… I don’t think I do anymore. A-at least not like I used to. I mean, you should have seen her when she showed up on the deck at The Haunted Star. She looked… pathetic. Soaking wet, shivering, pregnant, and completely vulnerable.

Portia: That night, yeah, maybe. But that doesn’t mean that she’s still not a threat.

Curtis: She drugged Oz Haggerty to the point that he had to be in a medically induced coma. And she’s still a suspect in The Hook killings.

Trina: Look, no doubt that Esme has done some horrible things, but that was the old Esme.

Portia: So — so you believe that Esme doesn’t remember what she’s done?

Trina: I heard that’s what the doctors think. And if they’re right, I mean, is it possible that amnesia changed Esme?

---

Sonny: I’ve lost so many people in my life.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Sonny: My son can’t lose you. For Michael, the sun rises and sets in your eyes.

[ Beeping continues ]

Sonny: You’re the mother of his children. You’re his best friend, his soulmate. And I know you’ve encouraged him to communicate with me, to meet me halfway. You’ve never lost hope. We’re going to be a father and son again. Everybody needs you. Your family needs you. I need you. Losing you would mean there’s no hope of… …my family getting back together again.

---

Michael: Wait, Nina is Willow’s birth mother? Nina? What, the woman who’s been badgering and antagonizing Willow since the time she was a teacher? You — and Harmony knew the whole time?! I mean, how — how — how could she —

Drew: Michael, Michael, I know that this is a lot to take in. I know that, but Willow needs you. She ne– she needs your support, okay? And, listen, Carly wanted to tell her, but because time is of the essence —

Michael: yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah, you’re right. I j– she’s needs to hear this from me.

---

Nina: What are you talking about? Willow is not my daughter.

Carly: Look, I understand this is a shock.

Nina: A shock?!

Carly: And there’s an explanation. I’m happy to give it to you, but later. Please come with me to the lab —

Nina: I am not going anywhere with you…

Carly: There is no time to waste here.

Nina: …Until you tell me — then talk fast.

Carly: You had twins.

Nina: Impossible.

Carly: No. No. You were in a coma.

Nina: Well, I had medical attention, Carly. Phyllis was one of my nurses. She took Nelle, they went to Florida, and she gave Nelle to the Bensons.

Carly: Phyllis didn’t know about the second baby. And I’m guessing that was by design, because Madeline wanted to make sure that, if she separated the babies, she could get her hands on your inheritance.

Nina: Okay, I don’t know why you’re doing this, but I-I’ll play along with you. Okay, so if — if Willow was Nelle’s twin, you’re saying that Madeline handed Willow off to — Harmony.

Carly: Your mother gave the baby to Harmony.

---

Dante: The person in that footage looks a lot like you. And if it is you, Joss, that means you were in the vicinity of the attack and maybe you could help us identify the killer.

Josslyn: Look, I would tell you if I thought it would help.

Robert: There’s no need to be cagey. I mean, you’re in no trouble.

Jordan: We believe you were a victim that night. It’s just curious that you didn’t say anything.

Dante: Joss, we think you were the intended target the night Brando was killed. And if what we suspect is right, then the killer got a second shot at you on New Year’s Eve.

Jordan:  If Britt hadn’t shown up, your family might be planning your funeral.

Robert:  Look, we can’t protect you unless you give us all the information. Talk to us —

[ Police radio chatter in distance ]

Diane: Not one word.

---

Curtis: Whether or not Esme has amnesia… Trina, you can’t let your guard down. It’s possible that she’s a killer.

Trina: You guys, I hear you. I-I fully believe that Esme’s a psycho. But not a serial killer.

Portia: Look, I-I’m not really clear on the laws dealing with memory loss, but I don’t think it warrants Esme a free pass. She committed crimes. She’s a criminal. She needs to face the consequences of her actions.

Trina: A-and that’s what Spencer said. A-and I don’t disagree. [ Sighs ] Okay. I’m not saying I’ll ever trust Esme again. I’m just not using her as a means for my closure. I am ready to end that chapter of my life and move on.

Portia: And how does letting Spencer back in help you do that?

---

Alexis: Spencer, you arguably were closest to Esme. She didn’t have any family. True?

Spencer: Um, just adopted siblings. They’re not close. I know that. But in due time, Esme will give birth and contribute directly to her family tree.

Alexis: And ours.

---

Sonny:  So, here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to do everything we can to get you well… so you can get back to your kids and my son.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Sonny:  And even if I’m not invited back into the fold, it doesn’t matter. I just want you to be together and happy. [ Whispering ] Open your eyes. Come on. You can do this. Just…

[ Beeping continues ]

---

Nina: Well, who knows how Harmony got Willow? I mean, that woman was a pathological liar.

Carly: One that tried to kill me and Alexis just to keep this secret safe.

Nina: Well, if she wanted to keep the secret safe, Carly, how did you find out?

Carly: Harmony told me… …the night she died.

Nina: She told you? You suspected that I was Willow’s mother when Harmony died last year?

Carly: And if I would have known that Willow was sick, I would have said something a long time ago.

Nina: Did you tell Willow this?

Carly: No.

Nina: Good! Because, Carly, there is no evidence beyond a troubled woman’s sick confession on her deathbed!

Carly: Nina, no.

Nina: You know what, this is irresponsible of you to just go out and present this as truth! And I can kind of understand it because of what Willow is going through, but I’m going to do you a big favor right now, and I’m going to pretend that this conversation never took place.

Carly: I know for a fact you’re Willow’s biological mother.

Nina: How?

Carly: I have proof.

---

Sonny: Josslyn was called away. She didn’t want to leave Willow alone.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Michael: I appreciate you being here.

Sonny: Yeah, of course.

Michael: Yeah.

Sonny: Um, I’m gonna let you guys — I’ll leave you two alone.

[ Beeping continues ]

Michael: [ Sighs ] You know, I could hear your voice in my head… telling me to go after him. [ Breathes deeply ] That life’s too short, and he’s trying. Just please don’t tell me that our life is going to be cut short together. [ Breathes deeply ] I need you. [ Sniffles ] Now, you’re my conscience voice in my head. [ Sniffles ] And I need to hear it. [Sniffles] Out loud… [ Sighs ] …Even if it’s scolding me. [ Sighs ]

Willow: I’ll remind you you said that.

---

Trina:  Since Rory died, Spencer’s really been there for me.

Portia:  At what cost? I will always be grateful that Spencer did the right thing in the end. But I’ll never forget that he lied and he took Esme’s side.

Trina:  Mom, he was playing her.

Portia:  Not the entire time, he wasn’t. I don’t get it. I don’t get how you can excuse that and let him back in. How is that moving on with your life?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Curtis: [ Scoffs lightly ] I gotta check in on the club.

Portia:  [ Sighs ]

Trina:  Yeah? I understand your concerns, Mom, but my eyes are wide open. I see how Spencer’s matured this last year. Those months in Pentonville, and now losing people he loved… it’s — it’s — it’s changed him, given him purpose. He’s committed to doing better.

Portia:  I am genuinely so sorry for what Spencer is going through. I really am. And the way his father betrayed him, it — it — it — it’s indefensible. I know.

Trina:  Spencer’s crushed. He was really tight with Britt. And his father, the — the only parent he has, keeps letting him down over and over again.

Portia:  And that’s one of the other reasons why I am so uncomfortable with you two reconnecting. The Cassadines are dangerous. Even to themselves. Honey, everyone that gets near them ends up getting burned. Look at me. Everyone gets burned.

---

Alexis: I take it you’re not that thrilled about having a new sibling?

Spencer: [ Scoffs, sniffles ]

Alexis: Just keep in mind, it’s not the baby’s fault. The baby is innocent.

Spencer: I’m not going to hold a grudge against the baby.

Alexis: I know. I know. You’re a good one. You’re filled with forgiveness and empathy.

Spencer: Thank you. Here’s the issue — is that if Esme finds a way out of this, she’s going to take that baby as far away from Port Charles as she possibly can.

Alexis: Yeah, good luck with that. Esme’s got some real serious legal trouble pending. And even if she finds some way to get over that, your father is resolved.

Spencer: Resolved to what?

Alexis: Oh, he wants full custody of that child.

---

Dante: Well, I should have known Josslyn was going to call Diane. She’s Carly’s daughter. She taught her probably to never talk to the police without a lawyer present.

Robert: Diane looks to be in fighting form.

Dante: Mm.

Robert: Killer Miller.

Diane: Did I hear my name? My client is ready to make a statement.

Dante: We wanted to keep this informal.

Diane: Did you? So you have her stepbrother call her down here and then ambush her with the District Attorney and The Commissioner? You know the rules. You cannot compel a perceived or potential witness to say anything.

Robert: [ Chuckles ] There’s no need to pull out the heavy artillery. We’re just talking.

Diane: [ Clears throat ] My client is ready to make a statement. The moment this turns into an interrogation, I’m pulling the plug. Josslyn.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] I was on Pier 55 at midnight on New Year’s. Someone did come at me with a hook. I do not know who it was. She was wearing a mask. I tried to get away, but I was in heels. I fell down, and she was basically on top of me. She was going to stab me, and then Britt came out of nowhere swinging her bag. And she told me to run, and I did.

Jordan: Why didn’t you come forward the moment you heard she had died?

Josslyn: I only found out about Britt a couple of hours ago, and we had a family emergency.

Robert: Well, if what you’re saying is truthful, why did you feel the need to engage counsel?

Diane: Well, first of all, it’s her constitutional right.

Robert: If she was arrested, which she wasn’t.

Diane: It is always a sensible idea to retain counsel. She’s only following her mother’s example, and the example of her Uncle Jason, who, if you will recall, never, ever sat down to a police interview without benefit of counsel. And think about how many “misunderstandings” we avoided over the years. And here we are again — avoiding another one.

Robert: Well, there’s really no comparison. Unless, of course, you’re accusing my office of persecuting victims of crime?

Diane: Not at all, District Attorney. I trust you to act in good faith, just as Josslyn trusts me to ensure that you do. Anything to add?

Josslyn: I did not see anything that night that could help you. I wish that I had.

Dante: Do you by any chance remember if your attacker was pregnant?

Josslyn: Um… I mean, I don’t — I don’t really know. I wasn’t paying much attention. I was kind of focused on the hook and trying to get away.

Diane: I know exactly how you feel. Alright, are we done? Yep?

Jordan: Only if Josslyn has nothing more to add.

Josslyn: No.

Diane: Okay.

Robert: I’ll walk you out.

Diane: Alright.

Dante: Hey, Joss, could I have a minute with you?

Diane: Um, only if this is a family matter and not police business.

Dante: It is a family matter.

Diane: Josslyn?

Josslyn: It’s fine.

[ Door opens ]

Dante: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Dante: I’m sorry about this.

Josslyn: Was this your idea?

Dante: No, but I did go along with it.

Josslyn: Dante, if I knew anything that could help you with this case, you wouldn’t have to ambush me. I would have come to you myself.

Dante: I know. [ Breathes deeply ] Looks like you, uh, outmaneuvered us anyway by calling Diane.

Josslyn: Well, like she said, I learned from the best.

Dante: Oh, yeah, you did. Hey, so, what was the, uh, the family emergency?

---

Nina: What proof do you have that Willow’s my daughter?

Carly: I ran a DNA test on the two of you.

Nina: You did what?

Carly: After Harmony told me that you were Willow’s mother, I was skeptical, so I took a few strands of hair from Willow’s hairbrush and a glass that you had used at Charlie’s pub.

Nina: You stole my DNA, and then you conducted an illegal DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

Carly: The results were conclusive. With a probability of 99.9%… you and Willow are biologically mother and daughter.

---

Sonny: It’s good you’re here.

Drew: Sorry, what’s that?

Sonny: Michael needs all the support he can get, you know, and, uh, he doesn’t want it from me.

Drew: Josslyn said you filled her in about Willow.

Sonny: Have you known all along?

Drew: No. No. Willow just filled me in a couple weeks ago.

Sonny: Kills me they didn’t loop us in.

Drew: It’s always better to have things out in the open, that’s for sure.

Sonny: Can — can I ask you a question?

Drew: Yeah.

Sonny: Carly’s in the chapel right now with Nina instead of Michael and Willow. Do you know anything about that?

---

Spencer: My father wants the baby?

Alexis: He plans to sue for custody on the grounds that she’s unfit.

Spencer: Pot, meet kettle.

Alexis: I know. I know. I-I-I don’t know the details. I don’t want to know the details. I just know that he’s serious.

Spencer: And with his considerable resources and no one to vouch for Esme…

Alexis: He stands a good chance.

Spencer: Uh-huh. [ Sniffles ]

Alexis: Okay, so if Esme is not the killer, who is?

Spencer: I wish I could tell you. I really thought it was her.

Alexis: Does Trina have any enemies?

Spencer: No, everyone loves Trina.

Alexis: What about Portia? What about Taggert or Curtis?

Spencer: Her mom? I don’t think so. Her dad and Curtis, they were both in law enforcement, so maybe, but why would they go after Trina instead of going after them directly? Are you looking for a scoop?

Alexis: I’m looking for the truth. I would like the killer caught. I have to go to work. I have a conference call. Please don’t tell your father that I told you about his plans.

Spencer: I won’t. It’s good to see you.

Alexis: And as far as vouching for Esme… is there anyone important to her aside from the sociopath Chamberlain?

Spencer: Um. Yes. There’s a, um — yes. And she’s very devoted to Esme. Maybe even enough to kill for her.

---

Portia: I’ve tried, Trina. I really tried to be open-minded… about your connection with Spencer. But his father lost me when Nikolas terrorized you kids at Wyndemere because he was trying to teach Spencer a lesson. And now that same man cheated on his wife with Spencer’s girlfriend and got her pregnant. The very same girl that terrorized Ava. And please don’t get me started on Victor Cassadine, because I can’t —

Trina: I know, Mom. I know Spencer’s family is really messed up.

Portia: “Amoral” — I think that’s a better word for it. I don’t want you anywhere near those people, Trina. I don’t.

Trina: Spencer is not his family. He’s his own man.

Portia: He’s a two-time convicted felon, is what he is.

Trina: Growing up, you taught me never to judge people by their worst mistakes. That’s what I’m doing.

Portia: I know. But you also have to look at the patterns that people do, honey.

Trina: Okay. [ Breathes deeply ] I get that you’re looking out for me, Mom. But please, trust my judgment.

Portia: I do. I do.

Trina: But you’re not —

Portia: okay.

Trina: No, but I hope one day you’ll see Spencer the way I do. But ultimately, you don’t have to… because he’s not your friend, Mom. He’s mine.

---

Willow: What happened?

Michael: You, uh — you collapsed back at home, but you’re stable now.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Willow: Nina. She was in the house with Wiley. Oh, my god, Wiley.

Michael: No. Wiley — Wiley is with — with Brook Lynn and Chase. He’s — he’s — he’s fine.

Willow: Did he see me pass out?

Michael: I’m afraid so, yeah.

[ Beeping continues ]

Willow: He must be terrified now.

Michael: Well, he knows you’re sick, but he doesn’t have all the details. We, um… we can, uh — we can explain it to him together.

Willow: Will I make it home to do that?

Michael: Yeah, of course. Why would you ask that?

Willow: You have the strangest expression on your face. What aren’t you telling me?

Michael: Um… look, it’s about — it’s about Nina.

Willow: I never want to hear that woman’s name again.

---

Drew: I do know why Carly needed to speak to Nina, but… …it’s not my place to share.

Sonny: Carly’s not here. I need some answers. And if it involves my family, I need to know. So I suggest you tell me.

---

Nina: I want to see those results.

Carly: I’ll get you a copy —

Nina: No, actually, never mind. Because I don’t even know if you used my sample or Willow’s. I’ll get my own test.

Carly: We don’t have time! Why would I lie?

Nina: I don’t know, Carly! I don’t know why you do the things that you do. Maybe because you’re a liar and maybe because you hate me, or this is some bizarre revenge because I fall in love with Sonny!

Carly: Willow is dying! She has stage IV leukemia! She needs healthy blood-forming cells from a relative, and she has one, Nina — she has you!

---

Nina: I’m sorry your relationship with your mother was so fraught.

Willow: Yeah, me too. It’d be nice to look to her as an example for how to best be a mom to Wiley.

Nina: You don’t need an example, Willow. You’re a wonderful mother to Wiley.

---

Nina: He’s my grandson. He’s the only thing that I have left of my daughter. He’s my blood.

Willow: Blood doesn’t entitle you to have a relationship with someone. Not if you’re going to hurt them.

---

Nina: Willow Tait, you’re as selfish as they come.

---

Nina: It’s really hard, isn’t it… …growing up with a mother who you think doesn’t care about you at all?

Willow: And even harder when you know that you can’t trust her.

---

Nina: Get off your damn high horse. I am sorry that Nelle did these horrible things to you, I am, but it has made you so self-righteous that you can’t acknowledge anyone else’s pain!

---

Nina: You know, Willow, I have a child out there, too, somewhere in the world, and I don’t know where they are. I don’t even know if my child is alive, but see, I hold on to wishful thinking because the alternative is unbearable.

---

Carly: You can hate me all you want — the feeling’s mutual. This isn’t about us. This is about Willow. Please go get tested. Please!

Nina: [ Sniffles ] [ Voice breaking ] You’re a monster!

---

Nina: You made me feel like the scum of the earth for a year. You kept saying over and over again how I was wrecking your family. [ Voice breaking ] What about my family? How could you keep me away from my child?

Carly: You can lash out at me all you want after you get tested.

Nina: Don’t tell me what to do, Carly! Go to hell, you selfish bitch! I’m gonna go save my daughter.

[ Door slams ]

---

Trina: It’s been a long day. Uh, tell Curtis thanks for dinner. I’m not in the mood for dessert. Good night.

Portia: Um, Trina…

Curtis: I heard. Most of it.

Portia: Thank you.

Curtis: Yeah. You want to talk about it?

Portia: Whew. It’s that obvious?

Curtis: I know your face. I’ve literally memorized your every expression.

Portia: [ Sighs ]

Curtis: Call it a survival tactic. [ Chuckles ]

Portia: I really thought that Trina had put Spencer in the rearview, but it seems like she’s determined to revive their friendship.

Curtis: I wondered that when I saw them together. I hoped it wouldn’t become a habit.

Portia: Oh, it won’t. Not if I have anything to say.

Curtis: I’m not sure you do, babe. Trina has made it clear that she values boundaries.

Portia: [ Scoffs lightly ] And I want to respect that, Curtis, I really do, but I’m not going to sit back and watch Spencer Cassadine worm his way back into my daughter’s heart again.

---

Spencer: Last Esme mentioned, Maggie is living in London, but, um, Sam could tell you more.

Alexis: My Sam?

Spencer: Yeah. I asked Sam to find Maggie Fitzgerald when I thought that she could be the key to getting Esme to confess that she framed Trina, but then Trina was exonerated, and then I never followed up. Oh, um, in a letter, Maggie had warned Esme against having any contact with her birth father.

Alexis: You said that she didn’t have any family.

Spencer: Not that she knew of. But Esme claims that Maggie knew who her biological parents were, but she never told her.

Alexis: Alright, well, thank you for this, Spencer. Let me know if you — if you hear anything else.

Spencer: [ Sighs ]

Alexis: A reporter took a picture of you and Trina together…

Spencer: [ Sighs ]

Alexis: …Leaving Cabrera’s funeral.

Spencer: Uh, we’ve been spending time together.

Alexis: Please be careful. If she’s a target, it’ll put you at risk.

Spencer: Don’t worry. I know how to protect my own.

Alexis: “My own”? My, my. You are growing up.

---

Drew: Look, Sonny, I’m not gatekeeping family business here. This is a personal matter. It involves Nina.

Sonny: Nina’s my family.

Drew: Well, then I’m sure she’s going to tell you.

Carly: Alright, Sonny, back off, okay?

Sonny: What’s going on, Carly? Where’s Nina?

---

Willow: Every time I turn around, Nina is invading our space… making wild accusations… trying to get close to our son. Nina is toxic, Michael.

Michael: I know. But you have to try and calm down.

Willow: You need to make me a promise. Promise me, if I lose this battle —

Michael: That’s not gonna happen.

Willow: Promise me Nina will never have access to Wiley ever again.

[ Door opens ]

Willow: Get out. Get out! Leave me alone!

Michael: It’s okay.

Willow: Not now. Not ever. I want you out of this room! I want you out of my life for good!

Nina: I’m sorry. [ Breathing quickly ] I’m…sorry. But your life may depend on me.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Curtis (to Portia): It might end up doing the exact opposite.

Laura: I was about to ask you the very same question.

Spencer (to Diane): This baby will never know either of its parents.

Sonny (to Carly): What do you have to feel guilty about?

Michael (to Willow): We should hear what she has to say.

Nina (to Willow): Your life may depend on me.

Willow: No!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mom. Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh, my god. I’m so glad to see you. Thank you so much for calling me. Uh, is willow okay? My god. I don’t know. We just got here. There’s someone who might know. Tj, is willow okay? Think you missed a spot. Mom, what are you doing here? Wondering why I had to track you down at work to find out what’s going on with you. And don’t say, “nothing.” I’m your mom. I know when something’s bothering you. Gregory? Alexis. I wasn’t expecting to see you here. You weren’t expecting to see me in my own office? No, I-I spoke to your assistant. She said that you had some family matter come up, so I didn’t think you’d be back here tonight. I didn’t think you would’ve made yourself at home in my office. Why don’t you tell me what’s going on? See, I told you it was a great idea to raid the kitchen. The quartermaines literally have everything, and I got to give this biscotti another try once I soak it in some wine. I wonder where chase and brook lynn went. Michael said that they had to rush willow to the hospital, that he was forced to leave wiley with nina. Wiley is clinging to nina’s side. Michael would not like that. What should we do? The most important thing is to keep wiley happy. You don’t have to kick nina out. Just thank her for watching wiley, but you can take over. I’m just hoping nina plays along. Nina: [ Sighs ] Wiley: What’s wrong with my mommy? Oh, sweetheart, your… your mommy’s gonna be okay. Your daddy’s gonna make sure that she’s being taken care of, okay? That’s why those men took her to the hospital. The doctors — the doctors there are gonna make her all better. And my baby sister, too? And your baby sister, too. Boy, nina is really taking advantage of this crisis to get closer to wiley. This is the last thing willow would want. We have to put a stop to this. You’re right. We just have to hope that if we’re calm and upbeat, nina will play along, too. Right. Calm and upbeat. I can do that. I think. Don’t leave me, willow.

[ Sighs ] Come on. Fight for us. Fight for our family.

[ Monitor beeping ] Everything’s okay.

[ Car alarm chirps ] Yeah, I’m — I’M… I’m on my way. (Music throughout) get the royal treatment. Join the millions playing royal match today. Download now.

For max-strength nighttime relief, nyquil severe. I’m not the best personto hand out information, because I just got to G.H., But I will make sure someone updates you soon. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] They have to be fine. Willow and the baby have to be fine. Okay. Hey, hey. Look, we’re all playing catch-up with willow’s illness, alright? Willow is going to be fine. And the baby, too.

[ Sniffles ] What can I say? You set a very high standard. And I always want to impress you. So I was here double-checking. Diligence and proper documentation are a way to my heart. I would imagine that’s especially true on a big-news day like today — the return of esme prince, the tragic demise of dr. Westbourne. I figured it was all hands on deck. Which is why I needed your help. Because I knew that after I got that call. Well , lucky for me, I was therewhen you got the call. One of those “right place, right time” kind of things. Not that I don’t enjoy your company or your instinct, but you have gone above and beyond. The way I see it, I owe you one, and I always repay my debts. How do you owe me? The night you talked my son off the proverbial ledge. You got through to finn when I couldn’T. So if I pitch in, give you a helping hand, it’s the least I can do. Plus the added benefit of spending more time with you. Hm. Consider us even. You know, you don’t have to stick around if you don’t want to. Here’s your hat. What’s your hurry? No, because if you’re gonna stick around, you’re gonna tell me why you want to stick around. So sit down and spill, professor. Okay. [ Sighs ] After all these years of teaching journalism in colleges, I find that the actual work is invigorating. Being here when a big story breaks, telling the truth in a strong narrative, separating fact from speculation. I’m really enjoying being in the thick of things. That’s because this is your first time. Tell me about it again a month from now. Are you telling me you’re not feeling any of the adrenaline rush that I am? Yes, I am. Okay, look, nothing is up with me, mom. I just wanted to take a couple extra shifts at kelly’s so I can pay for a new guitar amp. Cameron, I know when something’s wrong. Is it because esme’s back in town? I’m sure it was a shock to find out that she had been found. I know i was shocked. You know what? I don’t care if esme is pregnant or has memory loss. I hope she goes away for a long time after what she did to me and joss. You certainly have every right to be angry. She did unspeakable things to you and your friends. And to you. Esme attacked you. Eh, I wouldn’t really call it an attack. She went for my phone, and I fell down. It was more like an accident. Nothing esme has ever done has been an accident. Everything she has done has been deliberate. From the revenge porn to framing trina, setting ava’s car on fire. I hope that she gets what she deserves, and I hope they take that baby far away from her. Cameron, this does not sound like you. Please tell me what’s going on. Carly: Hi. How’s willow? And how’s the baby? Willow is stable, and the baby seems fine. Dr. Navarro is doing an ultrasound…

[ Exhales deeply ] …As a precaution right now. How did you even know we were here? Nina called me. Right. Right. Yeah. She said that she would call you and watch wiley until someone from the main house had come home. Sorry. I’ve just been so, you know, focused on willow that everything else is a blur to me right now. The only thing nina said was that willow collapsed. So what happened? It’s okay, michael. It’s not a secret anymore. I told carly about the leukemia. And sonny told me. Wait, sonny? H-how’d he know? I don’t know. I asked. He didn’t say. Okay, doesn’t matter because we all know, and we’re here. So what can we do for you? What do you need? You know, I promise you, I’ll explain everything. I just — right now, I just got to take care of something. Wiley, look who’s here! Grandpa! I told you I’d be here in no time. Get over here. Grandpa’s here. Everything’s gonna be okay.

---

Sonny, what are you doing here? Well, I called sonny to tell him what was going on, and I thought wiley would love to see his grandpa. I rushed over here. W-what are you doing here? Well, michael texted. He wanted me to check up on wiley. I’m okay.

[ Chuckles ] Do either of you know what’s going on with willow? Wiley, sweetie, why don’t you go brush your teeth and get ready for bed? I already did. Uh, do it again, and I’ll give you five bucks. Deal!

[ Chuckles ] What do you think? Should we tell them? Yes, you should tell us. Willow’s baby is my family. Is there a problem with the baby? I mean, it’s too early for her to go into labor, right? I haven’t heard anything since they were at the hospital, but there’s a lot more going on than just willow being pregnant. Um… she has leukemia. What? I had no idea. Oh, my god. Poor willow. Poor michael. He must be going crazy. I don’t think anyone else in the family knows about this. Yeah, we just found out. Leukemia? But, I mean, she’s gonna be treated, right? She’s gonna be okay. Well, we don’t know the details, but from what we can tell… …willow’s leukemia is in stage iv. I’m fine, mom. Really. Well, my mother’s instincts are telling me differently. Okay, maybe I’m not fine, but there’s nothing that you can do about it. There’s nothing that anyone can do. Well, then, just talk to me. Whatever it is, we can figure it out. Josslyn broke up with me.

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry. And it is all esme’s fault. Her plan to send trina to jail failed, but she certainly succeeded at ruining my life. We never got back to where we were before that video was posted. Everywhere we went, it was like people were just staring at us, talking behind our backs, laughing at us. I mean, eventually, it all died down, but that — the feeling between us, it stayed between me and joss. Is that what she said? Still no word from chase? No, nothing since he texted that they were at the gatehouse and michel and willow went to the hospital.

[ Sighs ] I hope that willow and the baby are gonna be okay. I’m sure everything will work out. Um, where do you think ned would keep the good wine? Supposedly, biscotti’s better if you dip it in there. Is this even the type of room where you’d keep wine? W-w-what kind of a room do they call this? I believe michael told me they call it the solarium.

[ Chuckles ] Rich people and their fancy names. Well, in that case, sasha,

[Posh accent] Would you care to join me for some biscotti in the solarium? First of all, you are very good at distracting people from their worries. Secondly, I would love some biscotti. Thank you. Hey. Willow and nina deserve to know the truth, carly. If willow has taken a turn — okay, okay, please keep your voice down. I’m not gonna go in there and tell her right now. Willow’s unconscious. Besides, you said they found a match for a bone — you still have to tell her! I know that, okay? I know that. I’m just not gonna do it right now. It’s not the right time. There’s never gonna be a right time, carly. And let me be really clear about this.

I am not gonna sit on this secret forever. I don’t expect you to. Right now, can we just pray for willow and the baby? Because willow making it through is all that matters. I brushed my teeth again. Now, where’s my five bucks? Oh, a promise is a promise, my friend. Thanks, brook lynn.

[ Chuckles ] Alright, hey, listen, I got to go to general hospital because I got to see michael, even though he doesn’t want to see me. But he’s my son. I want to be there for him. Of course. I-I’ll go with you. Thank you. Hey, buddy, come over here, and give me a big, big hug. Yes. Bye, grandpa. Bye, buddy. You want to say bye? Bye, grandma nina. Bye, sweetheart. Listen, I want you to remember this. Even if you don’t see me for a while, I’m always with you, okay? I love you so much. Give me a hug. Bye-bye, wiley.

[ Sighs ]

---

You’re a naturalat this — this type of work. I hope so. I taught it long enough. Nice to know I can actually put some of the skills I teach into practice. Why have you always taught journalism and not gone out into the field? I mean, your wife was a journalist.

[ Sighs ] It’s just the path I took. I felt the adrenaline rush a couple times helping jackie with her stories, but we were raising chase, and one of us had to have a more grounded job. Right, but that was the past. You’re certainly not raising chase now. Have you thought about giving up the lecture hall and then becoming a reporter? Does it sound exciting? Of course. But I think boots-to-the-ground reporting is more a young person’s job. These days, I’m better suited to watching from the sidelines. I think that’s bull. I do. I-I think you’re being self-deprecating, and I’m not sure you really believe that. And you’re talking to someone who found a second act. I mean, didn’t have any choice. I blew up my first act, and that’s a whole other story.

[ Chuckling ] Point taken. I mean, if you want to teach, teach, but if you want a change, go for it. Go for the second act, third act. You can go for as many acts as you want. I’m just trying to say that I-I think you’re really good at this, and I would hate to see you write off possibilities for your future without ever having gone there. You’ve definitely given me something to think about. Good. If you’re gonna stay here, you’re gonna work. So can you come over here and take a look at these layouts and tell me what you think? Yeah. Wiley, you’ve been through a lot tonight, haven’t you, buddy? Talk to me. Why did mommy say grandma nina was bad? Your mommy actually said that? I love grandma nina. Is she bad? Your grandma nina, well, she’s made some mistakes. But that doesn’t mean that she’s bad. She and mommy just want what’s best for you. Even though she might mess up sometimes. I miss mommy. She misses you, too. And she’s doing everything she can to get back to you right now. I have an idea. Why don’t you make a get-well card for mommy? Yay! Yay. You still haven’t told me why you were at the quartermaines’. Well, I was worried about wiley when we heard about willow’s diagnosis, and, unfortunately, I had words with michael. I know, I know. Sonny, I know. I should’ve stayed away. Hey. Alright, we just wanted to give you an update. Dr. Navarro: The baby is fine. Oh, thank god. And we’re gonna keep monitoring her, along with working with dr. Randolph on willow’s treatment. Josslyn: And willow? Willow is critical but in stable condition. I’m going to look into some clinical trials for her, but we’re running out of options. I wish I had better news.

[ Cellphone beeping ] Excuse me. I know that you’re only focused on willow right now, but I’m — I’m here if you need anything or if she needs anything, okay? Willow and the baby are gonna be alright. We have to believe that. Why is terry looking into clinical trials? I thought willow already had a match for a bone-marrow donor. She, uh… she did. We found out at her last appointment that the donor is not healthy enough to go through with the transplant.

---

So, you lost your baby, you were entered into a guardianship, and then you lost your husband. Man, I thought

i had some problems. Sorry. That — that — was that insensitive? Pretty much. But also weirdly refreshing. I’ve gotten so used to people treating me with kid gloves. It’s kind of nice to know that I won’t fall apart if someone says something off. I don’t know. You look pretty tough to me. I’m guessing you don’t watch the home & heart shopping network. I have never heard of it. I went on it to plug products for deception, but they spontaneously tried to add me to the next segment about a papoose-style baby carrier, and I wound up having a nervous breakdown on live television. I’m guessing that’s where the guardianship came in. Yeah. Originally, it was brando. But when he died, his mother, gladys, took over. Wait, your — your mother-in-law’s name is gladys? Why? Well, it’s just, I-I know a woman named gladys, but she’s — she’s probably not your mother-in-law, though. You would know if you met her. She’s pretty memorable. Your mommy’s gonna love this picture. It’s just what she needs to brighten up her hospital room and be reminded of how much you love her. Wiley: All done. Uncle chase, will you read me a story? Well, sure thing. Go pick one out. Oh. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] What? You’re really good with him. So are you. The kid loves you. I mean, we shouldn’t be surprised, really. This feel familiar to you? Wasn’t all that long ago that we were living together, taking care of bailey. We make a good team. Chase, you don’t have to stay.

[ Jar slams ] It doesn’t matter what joss said, alright? That sex tape is when all our problems started. Okay, can we stop calling it that? It makes it sound like you guys willingly made one. Yeah, you’re right. We didn’T. It’s revenge porn, which is a crime, and esme should rot in jail for it. Everything was perfect before that. Okay, you’re right in that I can’t fix this for you, but you know that I’ve had my fair share of experience with heartbreak, right? And I’m not gonna pretend to know how things were with you and joss. Maybe everything was perfect before that video came out. But, in my experience, rarely is it just one thing that breaks up a couple. Josslyn: I don’t understand. Why would someone put themselves on a bone-marrow transplant list if you can’t go through with it? They must’ve had a condition they weren’t aware of when they signed up. What does this mean for willow and the baby? Willow needs a bone-marrow transplant, period. All the doctors can do right now is just buy her enough time until — until we can find another match. I got to take a walk. I think I’m gonna go to the chapel, say a prayer for willow. Let’s go. I’ll go with you. We need to put an end to this madness now. I know what I have to do.

---

[ Sighs ] How you doing? Yeah. It must be pretty devastating for you to know what michael’s going through. It’s never easy watching your kids suffer. And now that, you know, michael and I are estranged, it’s like, I want to give him a hug. He d– he don’t want — he don’t want it. Well — but you know what? Listen. [ Sighs ] We got to just concentrate on — on willow. We care about her so much, right? And they’re good together. I ju– I’m just feeling like I d– I don’t know what to do. Well, you’re — you’re gonna be there for them, and that’s enough. That’s a lot. I just feel like I-I just can’t abandon my son. I need to let him know that. Well, I will be here for you. And as much as they don’t want it… for michael and willow, too. You’re the one who called me over here with last-minute changes to a song that I’m supposed to sing tomorrow, and you’re kicking me out? That makes perfect sense. Oh, come on, chase. I wasn’t born yesterday. I know the only reason why you came over here was because you were worried about willow and wanted more information. And now that we know she has leukemia, I know you want to go to G.H. And see her.

[ Sighs ] Look, when nina and sonny told us the news, yes, my initial reaction was to rush over to the hospital. But is that what’s best for michael and willow? No. It’s already got to be really awkward over there because of the way michael feels about sonny. Not to mention how carly and joss feel about sonny and nina. Do they really want willow’s ex-husband in the mix? I don’t think so. Chase, it’s me you’re talking to, okay? I know how much you care about willow, and you, michael, and — and willow, you’re friends-ish again, right? Yeah, something like that. So your mind just must be going crazy with worry. Go be with them. Both of them. Really. I can take care of wiley by myself, and I can cancel tomorrow’s performance. Won’t linc throw a fit? Let me handle linc, okay? You need to do what you need to do. If I go to G.H., I’m only gonna be in the way. If the best way for me to help michael and willow is to help you keep wiley happy, then that’s what I’m gonna do. Maybe it’s just easier to blame the breakup all on esme. I mean, god knows she played a big role, so it must feel like she is responsible for everything. And it’s — it’s easy to look at one catastrophic event and be like, “yeah, that was it.” Trust me, I’ve been there. But you will only drive yourself crazy if you keep asking yourself, “what if this had never happened?” If esme didn’t make the revenge porn, if trina never went to trial, if none of those things ever happened, I am certain that josslyn and I would still be together.

[ Sighs ] But, cameron, if you — you really think about it, there were other issues, too. Like, didn’t you keep spencer’s secret that he was only pretending to believe esme, and you didn’t tell josslyn? Regardless of the reasoning, that hurt the communication between the two of you. Maybe. Still doesn’t make it hurt any less. I know. I know, I know. She was your first girlfriend. She was your first love. It’s gonna hurt. But I also know that, one day, you’ll be able to look back at the time you had with her and instead of feeling all this pain, you’ll feel grateful for what you did have. Michael. Thanks for being here. Where else would I be?

[ Sighs ] Why didn’t you tell us? Well, first of all, because willow didn’t tell me. Oh, michael. Chemo is dangerous for a baby in the first trimester, so she decided to wait.

[ Sighs ] And she didn’t want me to worry, so she didn’t tell me. And by the time she told me, she was safe to start chemo, but the leukemia had already advanced. I’m so sorry. I just… it’s willow’s fight. It’s her fight, so she can do this the way that she — she has to, but…

[ Sighs ] I mean, even after she told me, she — she didn’t want anyone else to know. Why? She thought it was the best way to protect wiley. She didn’t want him to be afraid. And, uh, he’s reaching that age now where he’s more perceptive, so she thought that if you or mom or anyone would’ve looked at her with worry that, you know… that wiley would’ve picked up on it and realized that something was wrong. I guess that makes sense. I mean, he’s a smart little boy.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Cameron? No. Uh, no, it’s someone else. Listen, is there anything I can do? I know that that feels like an empty gesture, but, really, I would do anything. Just, uh… just be here with me. It’s done.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. How is she? Her vitals are stable, but we’re not sure when she’s going to wake up. She’d appreciate you being here either way.

[ Beeping continues ] Willow. I need you to wake up. Oh, god. I’m so sorry. If I had known… I-I never intended anything like this to happen. You have to know that I love you like you’re my own daughter. Please wake up so I can tell you what I need to say. It may save your life. Willow?

---

Willow. If you can hear the sound of my voice, it’s carly.

[ Monitor beeping ] Please, please wake up.

[ Sighing ] Willow’s still sleeping. You know, I tried to wake her up, but… well, you can tell her later. We’re way past that. Will you stay with michael? Yeah, of course. Thank you. Will you tell him? Will you tell him I’m so sorry? Please. Wait, where are you going? To do what I have to do. “All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.” Good night, wiley. Good night, brook lynn. Don’t worry. I’ll stand watch. Thanks for the talk, mom. Even if you didn’t like what I had to say? You were just telling me the truth. If I continue to blame esme for josslyn breaking up with me, it’s just gonna fuel my anger. But now that I’m realizing that josslyn and i both played parts in us ending… it just makes me sad. I’m so sorry. Alright, mom, I got to finish up here. Okay. Wait, wait. Before you go, I wanted to remind you that I love you and I’m always here for you. Hey, mom. I love you, too. I read in the invader that britt died because she stepped in to rescue someone from the hook. She actually saved a life, and not just by being a doctor but being a kick-ass hero.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. And that was — that was just a week after she delivered a miracle baby on christmas right here in the quartermaine house. Brando died protecting someone, too. He was following josslyn jacks to make sure she was safe. Well, it sounds like he was a hero, also. I’m grateful that britt was in my life, even if it was for such a short time. Brando and I survived a whole lot of problems, but I still loved my life with him. Even knowing how it ended, I would do it again in a heartbeat. You know what? To britt and brando. To britt and brando. There. Finished. I’ll get out of your hair. Listen, thank you for your help. I couldn’t have done it without you.

[ Chuckles ] Now who’s being falsely modest? Okay, I could have done it without you. And I’m glad I didn’t have to.

[ Sighs ] It was a pleasure. I like spending time with you. This was fun. Have a good night. You, too.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, I just got back into the office. Can this wait? Well, now you’ve got my attention. I’m so sorry that this is happening to you, willow. You and michael.

[ Sighs ] You guys are so good together. And wiley is such a happy little boy. And this baby could not be born into a better family. And she will be born. And she will be healthy. And you will be there with her. You got to believe that, willow. All of this, the — the doctors, the medicine, it’s all important, of course, but… so is believing. You’re gonna make it, and we’re all gonna be here for you.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] Hello? Right now? Okay. Okay. I’ll be there. Hey, tj, um… look, I just — I want to say thank you. I know you’ve done a lot to support willow. That’s what friends do. And if you need anything at all, michael, please, don’t hesitate to ask. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Hey, drew, do — do you know where my mom went? I do. Um… she went to see nina. Nina? [ Scoffs ] This night’s bad enough already. Why would she want to talk to nina of all people? Michael, there’s something that you need to know.

[ Sighs ] Can I talk to nina? Alone. [

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Relaxing music plays ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Ooh.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m telling you, I think it’s a really strong —

[ Grunting softly ] Now, that is some hot yoga.

[ Playing mid-tempo music ] Ugh! That’s not right.

[ Clears throat ] Ugh! Why is this so hard?! Don’t do it. Do not call chase. You got this.

[ Discordant notes play ] Ohh!

[ Singsong voice ] Sounding pretty good in here. Ha ha. What are you doing in the main house? I found leo in the barn with thor. Huh? The — the new foal. Oh. Got it. Yeah. He was, uh —

[ Chuckles ] He had a blanket and everything. He was all ready to sleep in the stables. That’s cute. Yeah. It was. It was cute.

[ Laughs ] But I figured I should probably get the kid to bed. And, uh, plus, I found these in the kitchen on the way in.

[ Crunches ] Hmm. They’re a little dry.

[ Crunching ] Don’t tell mama q I said that, though. You’re supposed to dip them into coffee. Or wine, in the old country. They’re supposed to be dry. Wine? That’s — that’s a good tip.

[ Chuckles ] So, whatcha doing? Just working on a new love song for chase and blaze.

[ Clears throat ] Not going so well? At the moment, I am singing the blues. Nina is willow’s birth mother? Yes. And she could be a perfect match. I’ve got to call michael and willow. No, no, w-willow already has a match. She does? Yeah, I wa– I was — I was there when — when they got the call. The — the — the donor registry came through. Oh, thank god!

[ Breathes deeply ] Can we just back up for a second, please? You did a dna teston nina and willow and… …you said it came back negative. That’s what I told you. The results were actually positive. So you lied to me. Again. Before you say anything, I have a few things to say about the way I choose to live my life and how it’s none of your damn business. Josslyn, I didn’t ask you over here to lecture you about your life. You didn’t? Look, I know michael must be going through a hard time right now. I’m sure that you are, too. I just wanted to see if you can make michael understand that, if him and willow need anything, I’m here. I just — I d– I don’t want his pride to stand in the way if he needs help. Help with what? This is not a good time, nina. I understand that, michael, and I know you don’t want me here, so I will make it quick. I need to talk about my grandson. You remember the visitation hearing, the one you forced us to have? Yeah, the court ruled that you have no right to see wiley. Yes. You found a way to shut me out of wiley’s life, for the unforgivable crime of me wanting wiley to know about his biological mother. Do not drag up nelle. Yeah, because I can’t even speak her name because wiley must believe that willow is his one and only mother. And now she put her life at risk so you, michael, can have another baby. Where does that leave wiley if willow dies?

[ Coughing/sneezing ]

[ Door knocking ] Dude, you coming?

---

Hey. Are you coming or going? I’m sorry? Um, are you about to take class or did you just finish?

[ Laughs ] We just got here. How’ve you been? Good. You? Oh, sasha is great and deserves congratulations. -[ L aughs ] -Oh, yeah? Yeah. We — we have a buyer for brando’s garage. -That’s amazing. -Mm. Gladys, we haven’t accepted the offer yet. Oh, sure, sure. We’re going to play hardball, do the whole counter thing, but — but it’s good news. Don’t — don’t you think it’s good news? Yeah, I do, if sasha thinks it is. Well, of course she thinks that.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] Did you lose an earring?

[ Scoffs ] Like I would wear those to yoga.

[ Laughs ] She — she got me — sasha got me the most beautiful diamond studs for christmas. Nice!

[ Sighs ] I’m so glad you like them. Water. I forgot my water. I’ll be right back.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Chuckles ] Everything good between you and gladys? Yeah, everything’s great. Why? So, she’s not pushing you to, uh, sell the garage? I mean, yeah,[Laughing] She’s pushing, but that’s just gladys. You know, technically, she does not even need me to agree, since she’s in charge of my finances. But gladys would never do that. I trust her. Cody: You want this? No, thanks. I can’t just let it go to waste. Could return it to the kitchen. Too far.

[ Laughing ]

[ Crunching ] So…

[ Crunching ] …I heard through the grapevine that you and chase broke up. Oh, you heard through one little grape, and his name is leo. Correct.

[ Scoffs ] But to be fair, what he actually said was he’s happy that you and chase aren’t going to be kissing anymore.

[ Scoffs ] That makes one of us. I’m sorry. No, don’t be, you know? Chase and I might just be singer and manager right now, but I’m — I’m hopeful things will change. So, he’s still willing to work with you. That’s the kind of guy chase is, you know? He honors his commitments, even when he doesn’t want to. Hmm. What’s that like? Beats me.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] You can use this, though, you know? Your working relationship? I could. So, you’ve thought about it.

[ Laughs ] I, uh — chase and blaze, they have this radio performance tomorrow. I may have concocted a plan to get chase over here tonight. So you can remind him how good you guys are together? Something like that. Chase is huge on honesty, though. I-I can’t use lies to get him back. Says who?[ Crunches ] How dare you. I da– I dare because I am wiley’s grandmother and I have to look out for him, his emotional needs, michael. I…

[ Sighs ] I know that willow has stage iv leukemia.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] How the hell do you know that? Because I read a memo that was mixed up in britt’s paperwork. And I am so sorry. What willow is going through, it’s — it’s horrible, but I — I also know that willow’s an adult and she chose to delay her treatment? Was that in the memo, the memo you shouldn’t have even read? It just wound up in my living room, and I admit I read it. So that is how I know that months passed from the time that she got diagnosed to the time where she received her first chemo treatment, months where her leukemia just progressed and her chance of survival got worse —

months when you and willow put the future of your unborn baby before wiley. His needs, his happiness, his security. And now, that little boy may lose the one and only mother that he has ever known. That you allowed him to know, michael! And that’s selfish! Get the hell out of my house. No! First, you have to explain it to me. Willow found out that she had leukemia in her first trimester. Why didn’t she get chemo immediately? That’s none of your business!

Wiley makes it my business! I appreciate your loyalty, but you’re not — you’re not b-betraying michael’s trust by talking to me. I know — I know what’s going on with willow. And it must be — I mean — it must be very difficult for them with the leukemia and then being pregnant. It’s — hold on, hold on. Leukemia? We just had this whole conversation about lying, and — and you made it seem like everything was solid, and yet… you were still holding back. I’m sorry. I didn’t think it mattered. I — you didn’t think it mattered?! You were — how — how is nina being willow’s mother, how does that not matter?! Because I didn’t know willow had cancer! And that’s a secret you kept from me, by the way! That is not the same thing, and you know it. Willow swore me to secrecy. I’m going to ask you a question, and I can’t — I can’t even believe I’m going to say this, but I need you to be honest with me.

[ Voice breaking ] Of course! Were you ever going to tell willow that nina was her mother? No.

---

I’m glad we ran into each other. Yeah? Yeah, I’ve been meaning to reach out since we talked last. I’m good, chase. You — [ Laughs ] You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. Well, I wasn’t worried about you, but I am now.

[ Chuckling ] What’s going on? Uh, it’s nothing specific,really.

[ Breathes deeply ] Or maybe it is. I don’t know. It’s like I — I was braced for the holidays, you know? I-I knew that they would be hard, so I went into them prepared and all my friends and family were on high alert, too. You had a ton of distractions and a lot of people looking out for you. Yeah. You know, the holidays are over, and it’s just me now. No brando, no liam. And, of course, I knew that. But you we ren’t as preparedas you were before christmas.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] You know, it was —

[Sighs] It was nice having a goal, you know? “Just make it through to new year’s day” — I could handle that. But “make it through the rest of your life”?

[ Sighs ] That sounds daunting. It is.

[ Chuckles ] I know I’ll figure it out, but I’m just… feeling a little adrift right now. I get that. And, for what it’s worth, I think you’re coping really well.

[ Chuckles ] The past few months, I’ve definitely felt a lot stronger, more stable. Maybe gladys won’t have to be your guardian much longer. Maybe. [ Chuckles ] Some days, I am so ready to march in and demand that the judge re-evaluate my case. And other days?

[ Sighs ] Nights are hard. After gladys goes to bed, the apartment is just so quiet.

[ Crying ] I’ll find myself listening for brando’s humming while he’s brushing his teeth. Or I’ll go to bed hoping that I’ll dream about him, so I can touch his face again. So that’s not really facing reality.

[ Sighs ] I think that you are doing what every grieving widow would do. You miss your husband, sasha. You imagine him in the room next to you. Who wouldn’t?

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m just afraid that, if I let myself pretend, I’ll get lost in the fantasy. Like I did when I thought I was holding liam.

[ Dreamy music plays ]

[ Laughing ] Oh! I know all parents say this, but she is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Our child is perfect. Just like her mother. Oh, stop. You can’t fault me for speaking the truth.

[ Chuckles ] We did it. You did it. You beat cancer and protected our child in the process. I love you so much. I love you, too.

[ Laughs ]

[ Kiss echoes ]

[ Dreamy music plays ]

[ Laugh echoes ] Josslyn: Willow has cancer? I’m sorry. I-I didn’t — uh — I thought michael and willow would have said something to the family. Michael hasn’t said anything.

[ Breathes sharply ] How do you know this? It doesn’t matter. Does my mom know? I don’t know. I don’t know.

[ Crying ] No. No. If she knew, she would’ve told me. But then again, I thought michael would’ve, too. Oh, my god.

[ Sniffles ] Wiley.

[ Sniffles ] The baby! You know what? -Does this affect the pregnancy? -No. Um — nina did some research, and, apparently, when you’re pregnant, you can still have chemo. It — it doesn’t hurt the baby. This sounds so scary and complicated. Listen, michael and willow, they’re going to get the best treatment possible. You know that, right?

[ Knock on door ] Everything okay?

[ Crying ] Yeah, she’s just heard some bad news. Listen — I have to — I have to go. I’ll see to it she gets home safe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.

[ Door closes ] Are you okay?

[ Sobs ] You hate nina. I do. She’s done awful things to you. She has. And then you get handed this perfect opportunity to get back at her. That’s not what this is about. -No? -No, no.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] This was about willow! By the time I had that dna test ran, willow and nina’s relationship was toxic. Willow couldn’t stand nina. She looked me in the face and told me she didn’t want to find out who her birth mother was because she could turn out to be someone like nina. “I’d rather not know,” I believe, were her exact words, so how do I tell her that this woman that she hates, who she doesn’t want anywhere near her son, was her mother? So you lied? I lied! You’re damn right I lied! Because I knew the truthwould hurt willow, and I wanted to spare her that pain! This is what I don’t understand. If you’re so sure that you were in the right — what?! Why’d you lie to me? Why — why — why’d you lie to me about the dna results? Because I didn’twant to put you… why didn’t you bring me in on it?! …In the position! This is what I think! I think you didn’t tell me because you knew I wouldn’t go along with it because you knew… you’re wrong.

---

That you’re worriedabout losing touch with reality makes me feel like you won’T.

[ Vehicles passing in distance ]

[ Sighs ] I hope that’s true. And, the next time you’re feeling adrift, just call me. It’s usually in the middle of the night. So? My phone’s always on. It’s an old habit from being a cop.

[ Cellphone ringing ] See?

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing continues ] Don’t not answer on my account.

[ Ringing continues ] Brook lynn! Chase! I’m so glad you answered. Um, I fixed it. Fixed what? The song. Uh, great. We can discuss it at the radio station tomorrow. That’s the song that I fixed, the one that you and blaze are singing tomorrow. Your verse, I always thought, was missing something, and I found it. Wait. You want to change the song that I’m singing in, what, 12 hours? I’m not just talking about it. It’s happening. And you’re going to like it way better. Can you come over to learn it? What, right now? Yeah. It — it won’t take too long. Why — are you busy? N-no, but —

great! I’ll see you when you get here. How was that? Perfection.

[ Laughs ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Does wiley know that willow is sick, that she m-may die? It’s too soon for that. Yeah, because you don’t want to frighten him until it’s absolutely necessary. Of course we don’T. But if willow would have done the responsible thing and gotten chemo during her first trimester, it wouldn’t have been necessary! You know, what — what gives you the right to judge? I understand. If you lost your little baby, it would’ve been devastating, and you and willow would have grieved. But it’s better for both of you to grieve than a 4-year-old boy grieving for his mother the rest of his life!

[ Footsteps approach ] I can’t hear any more of this. Wiley: Grandma! Oh! Wiley! Come here, buddy! Wiley. Hey.

[ Laughs ] Hi.

[ Sniffles ] I missed you! Oh! I missed you, too. Hey. Shouldn’t you be asleep? Will you play with me? Mommy’s too tired, and daddy’s too busy taking care of mommy. Do you want to talk about it?

[ Horn honks in distance ]

[ Crying ] I don’t even know what to say, honestly.

[ Sniffles ] Well, I’m guessing by the fact that sonny didn’t take my head off that you didn’t tell him about us. No.

[ Sniffles ] Thank you.

[ Sighs ] I would be in serious trouble if sonny thought we were involved. Yeah, well, sonny has bigger things on his mind right now.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] We all do.

[ Sniffles ] Is that the — the bad news sonny was talking about?

[ Crying ] My family’s falling apart, and I don’t know what I’m going to do about it. Keeping the truth about willow and nina to yourself isn’t sparing me the burden of lying to willow. This is about maintaining control. No, no. If you didn’t tell me, then you don’t risk the possibility of me telling willow. It wasn’t like that. Really? It wasn’T. Because, from where I’m standing, if you are the only one that knew, then you are ensuring that this plays out exactly the way that you want it to. How? You’re talking like I’m some puppet master and I just wanted to carry this secret. You did carry it! You carried it for months! I mean, my god, how long did you know?

[ Stammers ] May! Yeah. Of last year! Pretty eventful time, if I recall. Yes, willow was going through a lot. Harmony was dying, learning that she wasn’t her birth mother and that harmony was actually killing people to keep that secret. So you understand. Why you didn’t tell willow right away, yes, but you had months to come clean! Months where willow was telling me she didn’t want to know. She didn’t change her mind till the end of november! Which is when you started sabotaging my search. Because I didn’t know why you were searching. I didn’t know that willow was sick! I know that you would never intentionally hurt willow.

[ Voice breaking ] No. I know that. Thank you. But intentional or not, carly, do you see that keeping this secret almost cost willow her life?! Hi. I keep my home fresh with febreze fade defy plug.And I use this. Febreze uses a microchip to digitally control how much scent is released so it doesn’t fade. Ooh. Does mine have a microchip? – Uh-uh. – Oh. Febreze stays first-day fresh for 50 days. That is a shockingly long time. Febreze also has a refill reminder light… it even reminds you to refill it? So I never miss a day of freshness… your home is so fresh! Upgrade to febreze plug. Family is just very important. She’s my sister and we depend on each other a lot. She’s the rock of the fami ly. She’s the person who holds everything together. It’s a battle, you know. I’m going to be there.

---

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah. You have a visitor. Sonny, it’s me! Let her in. Hi, cuz. You going to the gym? Oh, uh, sasha and i were supposed to do yoga, but then something came up.

[ Clears throat ] What — what came — what do you mean? What’s — how’s sasha? That’s why I’m here. My daughter-in-law needs your help.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Better? Chase won’t be able to resist you.

[ Sighs ] From your lips.

[ Doorbell rings ] That’s him. Thanks for everything, cody.

[ British accent ] Oh. Oh, I see. I’m — I’m dismissed, then. Basically, yeah. Well, um, I’ll — I’ll let master chase in on my way out.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ] Okay.

[ Normal voice ] Hey, good luck. Thanks.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Ugh! What am I doing? Just act normal, brook lynn.

[ Breathes deeply ] Hi. Hi. Thanks for coming. Well, you didn’t give me much of a choice. Well, that’s pretty on-brand, right?

[ Breathes deeply ] Sasha. Hi. Hi!

[ Sniffles ] What can I do?

[ Vehicles passing ] Nothing.

[ Breathes deeply ] That’s the worst part — there’s nothing any of us can do. You can talk about it, to me. Whatever it is, I’ll listen.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Voice breaking ] Willow has leukemia. Oh. Yeah. Oh, did she just find out?

[ Breathes deeply ] Sonny thought I already knew, so…I guess not.

[ Breathes deeply ] Shocking that nobody told me, considering my reaction. No. It is scary to find out someone you love is sick. You are allowed to feel however you feel.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] My first serious boyfriend had cancer. And he died. I’m so sorry, joss. What was his name? Oscar. He had a brain tumor. We found out in september, and, eight months later, he was gone. How old? 16. And I know… that, you know, this is different.

[ Sniffles ] Willow’s cancer’s different. Everything’s different, really. I just — I really don’t want this for michael. You two are really close, huh?

[ Sniffles ] If the donor registry hadn’t found a donor for willow, then we wouldn’t have known that nina was a match until it was too late. I know. All of that is terrifying. Thank god it didn’t come to that. No, it didn’T. Do they know if the transplant’s going to affect the baby?

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m not sure. I got to call michael and willow first thing in the morning. I —

[ Hand thumps ]

[ Crying ] I can’t believe michael didn’t tell me. I mean, what the hell was he thinking?! I — I could have helped him, you know. Maybe he takes after his mother in that way, thinking he can… shoulder everything alone. It’s my mo, right? Handle everything on my own, so I don’t need other people.

[ Sighs ] Is that what I am — other people? No. Could have fooled me.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

My baby girl.

I love you so much.

Wiley! Come meet your baby sister. What are you doing? Sweetie, sweetie, come here. Come here. Get out of our house. I am so sorry, willow, but you’ve gotten too weak to take care of wiley. [ Gasps ] [ Breathing quickly ] No! I am not weak. I’m not — [ Breathing sharply ] What is happening? Oh, gee, you’re fading fast, willow. And michael has his hands full with work, so… I should probably take the baby, as well. [ Gasping ] Michael… you can’t let her do that. [ Chuckling ] Oh! Michael! No! Oh! [ Sobbing ] No! Time to go, wiley. [ Crying ] Please, no. Please, no. Oh, please stay. Stay with mommy, please. Stay with mommy.

[ Baby crying ]

Aww, how is my new little baby girl? My second chance.

[ Gasps ]

How do you like the name nelle?

No!!

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasping ]

---

Michael is more than a brother.

[ Vehicles passing ] He’s one of my best friends.

[ Breathes sharply ] He’s a rock. But that bodes well for him, don’t you think? In a situation like this? Except I know what it’s like.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Crying ] I know what it’s like to sit at someone’s bedside and watch them fight as hard as they can. And all you can do is love them and be there for them. But you can’t change anything. You can’t fix anything. You can’t fight the battle for them. And it’s the most helpless feeling. And michael doesn’t deserve that. You didn’t deserve it, either, joss. Ohh. It’s like…

[ Crying ] …I hear “cancer,” and I’m — I’m right back in it. I’m sitting next to oscar, and I’m reading to him.

[ Sniffles ] You read to him? Yeah. To help with the pain. You keep saying that there was nothing you could do.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Smooches ] Sounds like you did a whole lot. I hope it’s okay I tagged along. Of course. Were you guys, uh, together when I called? You said it wouldn’t take long, so I invited sasha to come with. Great. Are you hungry? Oh, I’m sorry. Cody, sasha. Sasha, cody. No, we– we’ve met. Sasha: Christmas day. Pregnant virgin mary giving birth. Right. Duh. Oh, that is a story I need to hear. Remind me to tell you.

[ Laughs ] Right. Uh, so, w-what do you say you and I raid the kitchen and, uh, we can let these two do their thing? Ah, I am skipping my workout. Might as well go all-in. That’s a yes? Sure.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Thank you for coming. You already said that. I did, didn’t I? Do you have the sheet music? Huh? So I can see the changes to the song. Oh, yes, um, they’re right here. Now, come sit.

[ Bench scrapes ]

[ Clears throat ] Alright. Ah, let’s see. Can’t read a word I wrote, can you? [ Laughs ] Here, move over. Let’s, uh, get to work. We have an offer on the garage, and sasha’s on the fence about taking it. What’s the offer? $300,000. Cash. No. She’s right not taking it. It’s — it’s worth a lot more than that.

[ Scoffs ] We can’t wait. Why? I mean, it’s not likesasha needs money, right? Oh, it’s — it’s not about the money.

[ Scoffs ] Then what is it — what’s it about? I-it — it’s about sasha! Hanging on to brando’s things… I think it’s keeping her from moving forward. But you know what? Last time I spoke to sasha, she was — she was doing good. I think it helped her that we built brando’s motorcycle. I mean, I know it helped me. Brando would’ve loved seeing you and sasha working together like that. Okay, so… what’s the issue, if it’s — if it’s not money? Is there something going on that I don’t know about, like — what’s going on with sasha? Is she alright?

[ Stammers ] Nothing specific.

[ Scoffs ] Here, listen to me. It’s going to be okay. We got to look after each other. Deal? Deal.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Chuckles ] Wiley, it’s, uh, it’s bedtime, not playtime, okay? Wiley. But grandma’s here! Wiley!

[ Chuckling ] Hi! Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve, um, come to visit, and I’m — I’m really sorry about that, wiley. Wish I could play with you until the sun comes up. But your daddy is right, you know — you should be in dreamland right now. Oh! I want to stay with you. Get away from my son! Willow, willow, willow, hold on. Get away! Mommy? No, it’s okay. It’s okay, wiley. Let’s go back upstairs. Let’s go back upstairs. No. I am not dead. Mommy? I am not dead! Do you hear me? You cannot have my children! You can’t!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] I hated lying to you. But you still did it. Fo r what I truly believewere the right reasons. I know how this works. I know you. I know how you operate. It’s not like… this should come as a huge surprise. But it does.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] I was just — I was starting to trust you. Starting to? You know what I mean. Not as friends, as… …as us, as a couple. I was — I was opening my heart to you. And to find out that you were lying to me this whole time… drew — …actively working against me, I just — I re ally thought we hadsomething deeper than that. And it’s — it’s a wake-up call to find out that we don’T.

---

[ Gasping ] Stay…away… from…my kids. Willow, I would never take your kids away from you!

[ Sobbing ] Mommy, what’s wrong?! It’s okay. It’s nothing we can’t fix, sweetheart.

[ Sniffles ] See, nina’s a bad person, and I don’t want her talking to you. Why not? I’ll explain upstairs, okay? I’m going.

[ Thud ] Wiley: Mommy!

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Willow? Willow. Willow! Thank you for being here. And for not pushing and…

[ Vehicles passing ] …Just thanks. Any time.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Shudders ] Are you cold? Mm. Just a few more minutes? As long as you want.

[ Sniffles ] So, you want to add a key change at “I can’t forget your lies”? Eyes — “I can’t forget your eyes.” Oh, sorry. No, no. It’s an understandable mistake, considering.

[ Breathes sharply ] Considering… your handwriting is illegible?

[ Scoffs ] It’s not that bad. Oh, you’re so dramatic. Look — “I can’t forget your eyes, no matter how… tired and high.” No, that’s not it. Oh, you can’t even read your own handwriting. Well, just give me a second! Take all the time you need. “No matter how hard I try.” Boo-yah! Okay. And I’m dramatic.

[ Laughs ] Chase, I —

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Thanks.

[ Siren wailing in distance ] Michael, what’s up? What?! Oh, my god.

[ Siren continues wailing ] Brick, hey. Can you do me a favor? Can you — can you find the best oncologist in the country? Not — no, it’s not — it’s for willow. That’s it? You know, one mistake and I’m out, huh? Would you really classify this as one mistake? You paid a woman to lie to me. You — you — you — you hid a photo that you knew that I was looking for, that you knew that was important to me and important to willow. Because I was trying — because you were trying to protect her. I understand that. But that excuse only goes so far, carly. Secrets and lies! That’s not the kind of relationship that I want. It’s not what i want. But now that everything’s out of the open, it doesn’t have to be that way.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Ringing continues ] You should probably answer this.

[ Ringing continues ] Hello. Carly, please don’t hang up.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] It’s willow. What about willow?

Carly, she collapsed. Michael called an ambulance. They’re on their way to the er. I’m on my way. I’ll drive. Okay.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]
