THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you okay? Is Chase okay? Why did we have to come up here to talk? Everybody’s good. Everybody’s great, actually. I told Chase everything. I told him about my baby. ♪♪ Good morning. Mmm. It’s been a long time since I’ve said that and meant it. Mmm. It’s a new day, Ava. Yeah, you know something? You’re right. My trial with Kristina is over. My custody battle with Sonny is over. I just — I feel like — like finally things are looking up for me. You’re welcome. [ Chuckles ] What? What? I mean, I — I’m happy you’re here. I am. I’m really happy, but not so happy that I’m gonna give you credit for my custody deal here. You’re a good lawyer. You’re my very favorite lawyer. But you had nothing to do with that. ♪♪ What are you two doing here? I asked them to come. ♪♪ Oh, thank you. Uh, for this… and for so many other kindnesses. I-I truly appreciate everything that you have done for Lulu at first and now for Lucky. Oh, please. You know how I feel about your family. And you’ve all been on a roller coaster for a while. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been praying to get off that roller coaster. Well, Lucky’s condition is stable, so that should help. Maybe somebody up there heard me. I just wish to God I had never crossed paths with Cyrus Renault. ♪♪ Hi. It’s me. I need you in my office as soon as possible. I think you know what it’s about. Cyrus Renault. Hey. Yes? You got a lead on Cyrus? Well, I have one. Jason Morgan. ♪♪ Hey. Thanks for meeting me. When you called, I knew it was important. ♪♪ I heard Cyrus was missing, and after what he — he did to Sam and putting his hands on Danny, I don’t blame you if you had something to do with it. And neither would I. But if somebody killed Cyrus, it wasn’t me. Girl, please call your mother. She’s been blowing up my phone. She’s worried sick about you. Oh. Sorry. We got slammed at breakfast rush, and, um, you know, I’ve — I’ve been too busy to text her back. I still can’t find my phone. Still? Girl, I’d be freaking out if I lost my phone. Why aren’t you? Well, I’ve been a little bit busy, so I was just gonna pick up a new one on my break. Just like that, you’re just gonna buy yourself a brand-new phone? Yeah. I must have lost mine last night, so I still don’t have a phone. Don’t have much of a choice. I don’t know. Something seems up with you, and it’s making me worry. What really happened last night? ♪♪ ♪♪ You told him? Everything? Mm-hmm. Because the last time we talked, you didn’t know whether you wanted to tell him anything or — or not. It was weighing on you. What — What made you choose to tell him everything now? Last night, Ma, Chase was wonderful. He surprised me at the Savoy with my song. He and Curtis — they planned the whole thing. And then he sang it to me in front of everyone. And then later in the night, there was chocolate and rose petals and — and champagne. I mean, no man has ever made me feel so loved and special. Your husband is — is definitely one of a kind. What made you want to tell him everything after all that? Because of all that. Oh. Ma, Chase was being so vulnerable and honest. You know, he told me how he felt about not being able to father our child and how he feels like he robbed me of getting pregnant naturally, and I knew it was time for me to be vulnerable and honest with him, even if that meant losing him. [ Sighs ] Good to see you, Quinn. Yeah, same. How was the Savoy last night? Oh, it was sweet. Thanks again for the hookup. Yeah. If the bartender, N’neka, wasn’t such a good family friend, I couldn’t have made it happen. Getting to that place is crazy hard on any day, but on Valentine’s Day? I’m sure. Hey, next time I go, you have to come with me. And you won’t have to call in any favors because turns out Trina’s dad owns the place. Wait, Trina? That’s who you took? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you or anyone. It’s just… a few hours after you left, I started to feel a little bit lonely. And you started thinking about Dex. I knew I shouldn’t have left you alone. Hey. No, no, no, no, no. I would have felt so much worse if you had skipped your cute date to sit on the couch with me. I wanted to be alone. Really. And I wanted to feel closer to Dex, so I went over to his apartment. Was it empty? Not totally. His couch was still there. And I just sat there for a while until my phone pulled up a memory of us from about a year ago, and I just lost it. I — I threw my phone against a wall. I cracked the screen. I mean, not only did I feel lonely, but I — I felt stupid. And I didn’t say anything because it was embarrassing. Please. You know I understand. I just — I feel bad that I just didn’t follow my instincts and just stayed home with you. No. Please. Tell me about your date with Kai. Uh, yeah, it was nice. It was, you know, nothing special. But now that I know that you’re okay… “ish,” I — I think I’m just gonna head over to Ava’s. You’re gonna be okay, right? “Ish.” Thanks for checking in. Mm-hmm, of course. ♪♪ Call your mother. Okay. Please. ♪♪ I mean, I thought about taking Cyrus out. But I decided it would be the wrong move. I’m not saying you made the wrong decision, but it’s not something you would have said a year ago. A year ago, Danny’s mom was still here. You know, I gotta think about what’s best for Danny and what Sam would’ve wanted for him. That shows restraint and respect. ♪♪ People change. Not Cyrus Renault. Although he tries to make everybody think he did. ♪♪ Laura, I’m just a phone call away, okay? Thank you. Thank you, Felicia. How’s Lucky? Uh, he is better. Last night was pretty scary. He’s stable now, and the doctors think he’ll make a full recovery. Thank God for that. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get here, but I woke up this morning to the PCPD pounding on my door. Why is that? Why else? Because of Cyrus. You know, did I know where he is, when’s the last time I talked to him, et cetera, et cetera. That’s when they told me that he’d gone to Elizabeth’s to attack her and he’d hurt Lucky instead. And so I wanted to come here to see for myself that it was true. It’s all true. Then the hits just keep coming because apparently our beloved brother is missing. Well, when they find him, I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. Yeah. I don’t know what to say. I-I don’t know how he could do something like this to his own nephew. And niece. Oh, yes. He tried to kill Lulu, too. More than once. ♪♪ I-I’m sorry. I just feel sick. Just give me a second. It’s not your fault. Yeah, it is. No, it isn’t. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It is, though. It is. ‘Cause I wanted to believe that he changed. I wanted to believe that everything, that the whole transformation, the whole religious epiphany was real. Well, in a way, it was. You didn’t wave a magic wand and get Sonny to appear at my door, ready to negotiate Avery’s custody. We both know Sonny, and do you think he actually would have come over here to negotiate if he wasn’t afraid of facing me in court? Come on. He saw what I did at your trial, especially to Kristina, said, “No, thanks,” and backed off. Mm. So, me being a good mother, that — that counted for nothing? It counts for everything. But Sonny is not somebody who settles. He fights, okay? Something spooked him. If it wasn’t me, what was it? With Sonny, it could be everything, could be nothing. One thing I can safely say is that not a moment of our trial prep was wasted. It certainly wasn’t. ♪♪ Mmm. [ Chuckles ] What’s this about, Dante? You found out something about Sam, didn’t you? Yeah, we know what happened to Sam, and, uh, who killed her. It’s Cyrus, isn’t it? Yeah. Now we need to know why. Lulu was actually one of his first victims. When she was at Silver Water, he went and visited her there. Yeah, yeah, he was injecting her with something. Went on for months, and it ended up damaging her liver. And that’s why she needed the transplant? Yes. And if I had only followed my own instincts and had him barred from her room the moment I first found him sitting next to her bed, but I believed that it — But, no, I wanted to believe… that it was all about him [sighs]… wanting to ingratiate himself to me and to the staff, you know, so that they would tell me how devoted he was. But he wasn’t. He wasn’t. He was poisoning my daughter and waiting for her to die. That — That bastard was… He almost killed both of my children. He’s sick. Way sicker than we ever knew. He’s delusional. And it wasn’t just Lucky and Lulu. It was a lot of patients over at Turning Woods. What? Yes. It’s Sam McCall, Dex Heller. No. Yes. Michael Corinthos. Okay, so, that’s my point. It was right there in front of me the entire time. I cannot possibly tell you how many times I’d find him lurking around this place and he was always so upset because he couldn’t volunteer anymore. I just don’t know why — I’m sorry — I didn’t see it before this. Because, like me, you wanted to see the best in your brother, right? But what he was telling himself was that he was on this mission from God. [ Scoffs ] Far from it. I pray to God that one day I will have the ability to forgive this man, but right now, I want him to burn in the fires of hell. ♪♪ You have new evidence pointing toward Jason? No. Not the evidence. It’s the lack thereof. I mean, I have officers stationed at the airport, the bus stations, train stations within a 300-mile radius, and there’s still nothing. Any sightings of Cyrus’s personal vehicle? No. Not since we tracked him on Route 41. I was really hoping the cabin would give us something. I knew as soon as we entered. Nothing. I mean, it was immaculate, you know? That’s when I started to think… maybe it was Jason because only someone as good as him would leave it that clean. What’d Martin Gray say in his statement? Something about Jason saying they’d never find Cyrus’s body? And now here we are — no body, no evidence. But why would Jason make that threat in public and then follow through with it? It seems uncharacteristically reckless. Normally, I would agree with you. However, this involves Jason’s son. And he and Danny have become very close, you know, since Sam’s death. That’s true. And also, you know, the cabin — it was just so clean. It just screamed professional. And Jason — he had the means, the motive, the opportunity, the expertise. If it’s not him, then who the hell else? Okay, so, how do you want to play this? Well, the same way we do with any suspect. Last night, I brought Jason in here for his protection. And today we bring him in for his crime. ♪♪ Josslyn: Oh, hey. Hey. What can I get you? Nothing. I’m gonna grab a bite with Sonny. He’s just busy right now. Oh. Well, you can still sit here. Thanks. Listen, I’m sorry about how Emma came across last night. She can be a little passionate about things sometimes. It’s fine. Emma and I have a strange history. So you don’t ever have to apologize for her. But… I have been handing out her flyers all day. On behalf of animals everywhere and SAAC — Great cause, horrible acronym. [ Chuckles ] You think? Thank you. I’ll let Emma know. I’m really happy that you two are friends. You seem to have a good effect on her. I wish. Gio. Oh. He’s ready for you. I’ll talk to you later. Bye. ♪♪ Jason. Hey. Yeah? Um… I wanted to get some advice from you, but I wanted to ask somewhere a little bit more private. Do you have a minute? Yeah. [ Cellphone ringing ] Sure. Hold on. Hang on. Yeah? Nice of you to pick up. Uh, I haven’t really been looking at my calls. What’s going on? I need you down at the station now. [ Sighs ] Hey, if that’s urgent, my thing can wait. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. I’ll catch up with you later. Okay. Last night, Cyrus attacked Elizabeth and Lucky at Elizabeth’s place. And, uh… she somehow stalled him and, uh, got him talking, and he told her everything. Are they okay? Yeah. Bottom line, yes. Yeah. What did Cyrus tell Elizabeth? That he was delivering God’s will by releasing patients from their pain and suffering. Sam was perfectly healthy. So, why? He targeted Lulu at Silver Water. Uh, he injected her with a drug… to release her from her suffering. And that’s why her liver failed? Yeah. So when Sam donated a part of her liver to save Lulu, she was interfering with… his divine plan. So my daughter was killed because she chose to save someone’s life. Yeah. I took Trina to the Savoy, and we had a great time. What’s the problem? I just don’t know why you would take her out on Valentine’s Day. Meaning…? Meaning the girl is tiny, but if she stands on her attitude, she’s about 50 feet tall. Kai, she criticized you, judged you, mocked football and everything that we do. You’re remembering how things were when Trina and I first met, okay? But a lot has changed since then. We are much closer now. Because football is out of the equation. Kai, you just came through the lowest point of your life. Why be with someone who brings you down even further? She doesn’t, alright? If anything, Trina is lifting me up, alright? She’s helping me get through everything that’s going on with my injury. I-I don’t get it. I thought I got through to her when I told her to stay away from you. What did you say? You talked to Trina behind my back? Yeah. I called her out for being a huge distraction for you. If it wasn’t for her, your head would have been 100% in the game and you wouldn’t have got injured. Sorry I’m late. I had to run a quick errand. You are not late. What is going on with you? I know when you are on cloud nine, and you are definitely on cloud nine. Okay, if I tell you, you have to keep a secret. You can tell me anything. Of course. Kai and I went to my dad’s club last night, and we had a great time. [ Laughs ] That’s wonderful. Why is that a secret? Because of Joss. She’s still grieving Dex. And it’s her first Valentine’s Day without him. And I remember when I lost Spencer, it just — it felt miserable. And Valentine’s Day was just, like, a huge, painful reminder of what I’d lost. And seeing those couples just move forward in the world and it’s in color and — and mine was frozen and in black and white. You’re smiling. Why? Because, for the first time in a year, you are talking about your grief in the past tense. ♪♪ When you say you told Chase everything… Yeah, I told him about my baby, the adoption, how you were there for me. Yeah. And how did he react to all that? Oh, he handled it the way Chase handles everything — wonderfully. He was calm, and he didn’t judge me or get angry. I was waiting for him to lose it a little, but he didn’t. We’re closer than we were even before. Oh, I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. I mean, I know how much this was just weighing you down, and you seem so much lighter. I mean, Chase is a unicorn. He really is. He is. There’s one thing I-I didn’t tell him. What? That Dante’s the father. It would just kill Chase. And then I don’t want to ask him to keep a secret from Dante. Then Dante would have to know, and it would kill Dante. No, no, you saved us from devastation all around with that one. I think you made the right choice. You think so? I know so. I don’t know what I’d do without you, Ma. Even as a scared teenager who didn’t know anything about anything, I knew one thing — that I could come to you and that you’d have my back. Sweetheart, that’s always gonna be true. I will always have your back. Don’t ever think that I take your support or Chase’s love for granted, okay? I just finally feel like I could put the past behind me. ♪♪ Everything’s going good, Uncle Sonny. I really love the program. The professors are great. I… I couldn’t have done any of this without your support. Especially with me playing the violin. The violin? Anybody got a problem with the violin, that’s their problem. [ Chuckles ] It’s just — I’m really glad that you’re in my life. I… I couldn’t be more thankful for you. I appreciate that. Listen, um, that’s why I wanted you to come here. I wanted to give you this. There you go. Uh, I spoke to Lois, and she told me about the music program’s trip to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. And, uh, I didn’t want you to have to worry about anything. Wait, what? And I know that Lois, you know, wanted to take care of it, but I wanted to beat her to the punch. So the tickets, all that stuff is in there, plus a little extra cash. No, no, no, you’ve already done so much for me. I can’t. Listen. Listen to me, okay? I need you to do this for me. Give Lois whatever cash is in the envelope, okay? That way, something extra for the trip. I gotta get going. I got someplace I gotta be. Thank you. Alright. ♪♪ ♪ No matter what you do ♪ You remember I kept telling you that Cyrus said that’s what he wanted for our mother, right? Over and over. He wanted to release her. I was telling you we fought about it till I took over her guardianship. Oh, right, mm-hmm. Right? Because as far as I was concerned, anything it took, whatever measures were necessary, I wanted to keep her alive. But he said he wanted to “release” her because he said he didn’t want her to suffer. I’m sure that was very hard on you. My point is, given everything that’s happened, it’s easy to make the connections between my past and our present. Oh, you think that he turned his twisted thinking away from your mother and towards the patients at Turning Woods? Think about it. He couldn’t save her, so he figured he’d save them. [ Sighs ] I mean, it makes me nauseous to think something that twisted could come from taking care of our mother. Because I got news for you — this will kill her. ‘Cause eventually I’ve got to say something. Wait. Wait until we have all the answers. Marty, I wouldn’t tell anybody anything right now. It’s too late. Oh, God. It gets better. I just made a formal complaint against Jason Morgan with the police because he went after Cyrus at Charlie’s. And it was public. [ Sighs ] There I was on my high horse, righteously thinking that Cyrus was some kind of, you know, victim. Turns out I was the village idiot and Cyrus was the monster that killed Danny’s mother. ♪♪ And they knew it. If I was Jason Morgan, I would have done the same thing. Do the police think that Jason had something to do with Cyrus being missing? I think they’re curious. [ Sighs ] Well, if he didn’t, I just hope to God they find him soon because, Marty, you know… we’re not safe if Cyrus is still out there. I never thought of that. I can’t believe I’m saying this, especially because it’s about my own brother, but maybe Cyrus will never be released from his sickness until somebody like Jason Morgan takes care of him. This just gets worse and worse. There’s no justice. There’s never any justice. There will be justice this time. Please tell me Cyrus has been arrested. ♪♪ You have Elizabeth’s affidavit. That’s two attempted murder charges, first degree. There is no way that that bastard is escaping justice this time. You feel like, uh, having some company? Yeah. Yeah, sure, I’d like some company. I would have come earlier. It’s just, uh, you know… I wanted to give you some space. Yeah. Um, I figured you were keeping tabs on Lucky even though you weren’t around. A call here, a call there. Mm. Yeah. I figured this would be the right time to come by. Yeah. Yeah, it is. He’s stable now. He was injured, um, saving Elizabeth’s life. Yeah, I heard. I’m not surprised. Lucky’s a hero. His dad’s a hero. His mom’s a hero. [ Exhales sharply ] He gets his strength from you. Oh, thank you. And he’s stubborn like both of you. [ Laughs ] Cyrus is gone. It’s like he’s, uh, vanished or something. But you’re gonna find him, right, and bring him in? We’re looking for him, but, uh — But the justice system has failed yet again and another killer has slipped through the cracks. ♪♪ I’d like you to explain to me why you went against everything we talked about last night, how we discussed our friendship, how… close we’ve become, my career, how I’ve risked everything, the respect of my colleagues, for you. And then you just couldn’t give me that one favor. Anna — Where is he? Where is Cyrus? Where’s his body? Anna, I don’t know what you’re talking — I don’t know what you’re talking about. No, don’t. Call Diane because I can’t — I can’t stomach these lies. I didn’t do it! Oh, yeah? I thought about it. I even had a it planned, and I know Cyrus deserved it. But when I left here last night, I went to Sam’s grave. And then I went to Drew’s. Well, if you thought about it so much, why didn’t you carry it out? Sasha and Alexis begged me not to hurt Cyrus. And, oh, I wanted to. But I didn’t… because you asked me for a favor. Quinn, you were there. Before I got hurt, I was playing the best game of my life, okay? I was completely dialed in. I was at the top of my game. I’ve never been more in sync with you and the team, okay? Me getting injured was an accident, and that’s it. I mean, what, you’re saying that Trina had something to do with it? You don’t even sound like you. You’re the one that sounds like someone else. It’s like you don’t even care about the team anymore. But I know you, and that’s not you. Yo, football was everything to you. And it still is, okay? I still love the game, and I still love you guys. Yeah, are you sure? ‘Cause since you got hurt and you started hanging out with Trina [scoffs] you’re not the same. Well, maybe the injury made me open my eyes. Maybe it made me see that there’s more to me than just football, okay? [ Scoffs ] Maybe because there’ll have to be. What are you saying? Look, I’m saying that Trina had nothing to do with what happened. I’m really saying that Trina is the only reason I’m not losing my mind right now. Chase has his dad’s good heart. The fact that you had your discussion and that was that — he didn’t have any questions or comments… Well, he did ask if I want to find my baby. [ Knock on door ] Come in! Lois. Yuri said you were up here. This a bad time? ♪♪ Oh, God. What do you want? Nice to see you, too. Diane here? That’s her desk. Do you see her? ♪♪ Hey, Alexis, something wrong? Why are you even asking me that? You don’t care about me. You don’t even care about your own daughter. Did something happen to Molly? Is she okay? Alexis, I’m not leaving here until you tell me what’s wrong. ♪♪ Josslyn: Hi, Felicia. I’ll just have my usual. Okay, great. I was just thinking about you. Really? Please tell me it was something good. I need a win. Oh, it’s definitely a win. I was just thinking about how you helped me remember that when Dex was stabbed, Cyrus was unaccounted for. Well, to my knowledge, he’s still unaccounted for. Unless you have any new leads as to where he may be? I don’t know what we’re doing here. It’s not like I have an appetite. We’ll go inside, have something warm to drink, and talk. Look, I get it, Kristina. I’m frustrated with the system, too. It’s not perfect, but it exists for a reason. Yeah, that’s what people keep saying. I just don’t know why. Well, because at the end of the day, it does a lot of good. Mom, Dante, and I wouldn’t have dedicated our lives to it if it didn’t. Okay, you can prop up the system all you want, but after what happened at Ava’s trial, I’m never gonna believe in “the system” again. It failed me and it failed our baby and it came between us and it almost destroyed our relationship. Well, we had something to do with that. What about Sam? Sam was trying to do something good, and she was killed. And me — I was trying to do something good for my dad, and my baby died. If Cyrus actually gets brought in and the system truly makes him pay for what he’s done, then great. But I don’t see a world where that’s gonna happen, and I don’t know why anyone else thinks it will. I mean, it didn’t happen for Ava. Look, I really appreciate this gesture, but I just — I — I’m gonna pass. ♪♪ Why did you think I did it? Oh, Cyrus has a hideout, a cabin. You know, and when we got there last night, it was just so clean. It was immaculate. Oh, it was just spotless, and… there was no apparent DNA, nothing out of place. So I thought, you know… of you. Because only someone with your skill could leave a crime scene so clean. Thank you. You know, maybe it wasn’t a crime scene. Maybe Cyrus is on the run after all. [ Sighs ] If the place is that clean, you can almost be certain someone did kill Cyrus and wipe the place after. Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. But if you didn’t kill Cyrus, who the hell did? What’s this? Oh, Uncle Sonny’s covering my trip to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He wants you to use the extra money for the trip and whatever else you need. That’s very generous of him. Well, you’ve both been very generous to me my whole life. We’re family. It’s what we do. Still. You know, after my mom passed, you guys stepped in and helped me with my education, with everything I needed, really. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you. And I know that we’re family, but… you guys just feel a lot closer to me than just cousins. Sonny and I were happy to do it. I mean, we both — we both believe in you and your talent. Yeah. You’re the best kid, Gio. You really are. We love you. You deserve the world. ♪♪ Trina is the only one in my life who doesn’t think that my life is over if I can’t play ball. Nobody thinks that. You don’t, Quinn? Look, at least Trina makes me feel like there is more to me than just football. Just football? Yo, I can’t get behind any girl who’s changed you this much. Let’s just take a break. Let’s reconnect later. Yeah. Cool. I need to get to conditioning anyway. Hey, and Quinn, one more thing. Do not speak on my behalf to Trina again. Yeah, whatever. ♪♪ Don’t get the wrong idea about me and Kai, okay? I’m still not ready to get involved with someone, and it probably won’t even be Kai. I mean, there’s so many girls on campus who’s, like, fawning over him. He just sees me as a friend. [ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Oh, you should answer that. That might be your “friend” now. [ Ringing continue ] ♪♪ Hello? Hey, are you free right now? There’s something I really want to show you. ♪♪ I think Luke would be happy that the two of us were here together right now. For Lucky. Yeah, he would be. I’m happy you’re here, Sonny. ♪♪ I will always be here for you. You know that. Will you please just go? What — No, look, I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on, alright? I know there’s something. What’s wrong, Alexis? Cyrus Renault killed my daughter. ♪♪ I… Alexis, I’m — I’m — Mnh. ♪♪ I’m sorry. ♪♪ I don’t know what evidence the PCPD has against Cyrus, but judging from Anna’s mood, I don’t think there’s much. Well, I hope they find him soon. I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Why not? Anna is convinced that someone has already taken care of him. They already have the prime suspect in custody — Jason Morgan. I thought telling Sam’s family about Cyrus would bring them some closure, but it just made it worse. Maybe bringing Cyrus to justice will give them the closure they need. I’m not sure that’s gonna happen. The commissioner is in with Jason now, and she thinks he’s responsible for Cyrus’s disappearance. Thank you. The forensics report’s back. ♪♪ ♪♪ Yeah, what you got? Well, the forensics report came back on the cabin. Okay. No fingerprints. Almost no DNA. Just two hairs. And they already have a match. Good. Who is it? It’s him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you mean you had a baby? Are you talking about Bailey Lou, when you pretended to be pregnant? This wasn’t pretend. I got pregnant in high school, I had the baby, and I gave it up for adoption. You never told me. I never told anyone except Ma. I never even told the father. What about your own father? Did you tell Ned? No. Wow. I know this is a lot to take in. So hold on. You got — You got pregnant when you were a teenager, and you’ve been carrying this secret ever since. Sasha, I would like to go over the menu for the hospital board dinner, and I’d like a cup of tea. Your special blend? Yes, please. Sure. You got it. But, um, first, I thought you should know that a P.I. is snooping around, and I’m pretty sure she’s trying to dig up dirt on Michael. What makes you say that? I had an encounter with a woman, Elaine, and her dog outside of Bobbie’s, and then again at the park. And eventually she told me herself who she was and that someone was looking into me. And what did you tell her before you knew who she was? You, of all people, walking into my house demanding peace. I want to respect Sam’s wishes for Danny and Scout to grow up together. And that’s never going to happen, because we’re constantly at each other’s throats. So I’m calling for a truce for the kids. So now you want to honor Sam’s wishes? That’s right. Oh, no, I’m just asking because clearly, you didn’t care about Sam or what she wanted when you ambushed me the night before the funeral. So, Jason, I’m just — I’m just trying to figure this out. Like, what’s changed? We were able to stabilize Lucky, but he’s in guarded condition.

Guarded?

What does that mean? We gave your dad medication to counteract the digitalis overdose. But since we don’t know exactly how much he was injected with, it’s too soon to give a definitive prognosis. Well, that’s bad, right? That just means they can’t say anything yet. That’s just code for Dad might not make it. ♪♪ Hang in there, Lucky. You made it all the way home from Africa in one piece. Now you got to make it through this. They’ve tracked Cyrus’s car to Route 41. Where’s that? We’ve got people en route? We do, yes. Um, there’s a lot of ground to cover. Why would he be heading in that direction? There’s nothing out there. No, there isn’t. You think Lucky’s gonna be okay? I don’t know. I mean… Yeah, I hope so. I’m just grateful that Elizabeth wasn’t hurt, you know? I don’t get it. Why would he go after Elizabeth, of all people? Because he found out that she and Lucky were asking questions here and at Turning Woods. And he… He didn’t want them to connect him to the murders. Did they connect him? Yeah. There’s, uh — There’s evidence that proves that he purchased digitalis. And beyond that, he confessed. He confessed to who? Elizabeth. Dante, he admitted to killing Dex and Sam. Among others, yeah. You were right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because we got him. Yeah, we did. And he knows that because if he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison, he’s got to disappear. Well, he can run. But there is no way that bastard can hide. ♪♪ Hand me the weapon. ♪♪ I checked already. He’s dead. Yes, he is. He tried to attack me. He was going to kill me. I know. I was outside when it happened. What? Did you call anyone else? No. Just you. Good. Then we still have a small window in which to clean this up. I’m sorry, shouldn’t we contact the police? Well, we could contact the authorities. Or we can take care of this ourselves. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I am so sorry I never told you. It was just such a strange time. When I realized that I was pregnant, I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do. I knew I wasn’t ready to be a mom. Of course not. You were just a kid. I can only imagine how scared and alone you felt. Well, at least I had my mom. Lois stepped up? Big time. She was incredible. I mean, she wasn’t thrilled that I got pregnant in the first place, but once the initial shock wore off, she was in my corner 100%. I’m glad to hear that. Though I’m not surprised. Was it hard, you know, to decide? About what to do, you mean? Terminating the pregnancy didn’t really feel like it was an option for me at the time, so I knew I was going to be having the baby. The decision not to keep it, I came to it pretty quickly. I don’t know, there was just no way. No, no, I get it. Once I came to that decision, I just knew that the rest of my family could never find out. I was already so overwhelmed. The last thing I needed was the judgments and opinions of my family. So I went on tour with my mom for five months, had the baby, went back to my life. Mom made all the arrangements. So I assume it was a closed adoption. I never even saw my baby. I was afraid if I had, I wouldn’t be able to give it up. So you don’t even know if it was a boy or a girl? No. Brook Lynn, that must have been insanely hard for you, especially at that age. What? Oh, it’s just… Aren’t you angry with me? Isaiah: I wish I could promise that your dad’s going to be okay, but we just don’t know yet. He’s in ICU, being closely monitored in case the tachycardia returns. They’re doing everything they can for him. And we all know how strong Lucky is, right? The absolute strongest. I’m sorry for freaking out on you before. I get it. Lucky is the best friend I’ve ever had. Dr. Gannon, would it be possible for someone to sit with him now? Absolutely. Why don’t you guys go first? Um, we’ll wait here and, uh, just tell him that we love him. Okay? Okay. Thanks. Come on. I’ll take you to his room. [ Sighs ] Lucky’s gonna be okay. I know he will. He will survive Cyrus. Just like you did. Danny and Scout are siblings. They just lost their mom. Yeah, I’m aware. They need to be together, Drew. Which means we have to work together. But you don’t play well with others. Unless, of course, they’re career criminals. I get it, you don’t like how I live. I don’t like how you live. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we make this okay for the kids because they’re family. Oh, right, because everybody knows you’re all about family. I told Elaine my approximate due date. That’s it. I’m not sure what she was looking for exactly, but I assumed that she was working for Willow’s lawyer. Good guess. I just thought you should know that somebody is being investigated. Uh, um, thanks for the intel. You’re welcome. You’re holding something back, I can tell. [ Chuckles ] Ah, yeah. I’m known for that. Say it. I promised I wasn’t going to ask you any invasive questions. But you have one. If that baby is Jason’s, are you planning on getting married? Okay, I get it. You want to know if I’m looking to make this child an official Quartermaine? Well, just let me know if you turn up anything useful. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. All right. That’s smart. Yeah. Sending units to Pentonville. Cyrus was in there a long time. He had to have made some connections. Yeah, I was just thinking maybe one of his former associates could tell us maybe where he might go. Because the longer we are without a lead, the less likely we are to track him and bring him in. Did Elizabeth say why Cyrus killed those patients? I think it was like some kind of divine mission or something to release them from suffering. And from what I can tell, he’s been doing it since he left prison. That just doesn’t make any sense. Dex and Sam were healthy people. Why target them? They got in his way. ♪♪ How’s he doing? He’s holding his own. That’s good news. I’ll let you two have some time alone. Okay. [ Monitors beeping, respirator hissing ] Lucky, I’m here. And so is Aiden. You need to hang on and come back to us, okay? I’m going to say it again when you open your eyes, but thank you for saving my life tonight. You did it, Dad. Mom’s safe. Now you just have to wake up. I’m sorry, don’t we have to call the police? Where did you get the gun? It’s Dex’s. It was Dex’s. Everybody knows how much I hate Cyrus. Everybody knows that I think he killed Dex. And now I killed him with Dex’s gun. Who’s gonna believe that that’s self-defense? Well, coming to the cabin with a gun does imply intent. But you know what happened. I wasn’t in the room when you shot Cyrus. Technically, people could say I didn’t see it. You don’t believe me? I do. But in a court of law, it won’t hold up. Look, I can take care of this, Josslyn, but once the WSB is involved, no one can know what happened here tonight. Not even your mother. Now, can you do that? If not, we call the police right now. ♪♪ I can do it. I’ll stay quiet. We’re leaving. Wait, but my — my fingerprints, my — Now. And if anyone asks, you were never at this cabin. Do you understand? ♪♪ Ever since I learned that we were twins, my entire life, my whole life has hinged on one moment. What if Susan Moore brought me back to Port Charles instead of you? I would have grown up with Monica and Alan. I would have lived a life of luxury with the Quartermaines, but instead I got Betsy Frank, I got a group home, and I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I had no control over that. I would have loved to have what you had and never appreciated. Hurting our parents, breaking their hearts over and over again. No need for anything Quartermaine. Are you done? I’ll — This is my house. I’m going to tell you when I’m done. Now you want back in the family after I’ve come home and I’ve made a place for myself here? You even took the Q name, and now you want to come back? That’s perfect, Jason. It’s perfect because you and the Quartermaines, you can have each other. I’ll be over here with my daughter. So you’re okay with Scout losing Sam, Danny, and Rocco all at once? It breaks my heart what Scout’s going through. But I am her father. And I will do what’s best for her. Always. Hey. Yes. Any luck? So I ran the alias Paul Damascus by the DEA. No hits. Cyrus has never used that name before. But when I was reviewing the DEA’s list of Cyrus’s associates, a name jumped out at me. Gatlin. Cyrus has a connection to a Gatlin family based in Pautuck. Like a deep connection? It goes back decades. There was an Austin Gatlin-Holt, wasn’t there? He was shot dead in 2023 in Pautuck. It was never solved. Right. And it seems the doctor had several properties in Pautuck. Okay. Thank you, Jordan. Yes, I need a list of any or all properties southeast of Port Charles that are either rented or owned by a Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. Did anybody see us come in? No. There’s a bathroom down the hall. You should shower. Wash away any evidence. Leave your clothes, jewelry, phone, anything you brought with you with you into the cabin. Leave it in the bathroom. What do I wear home? There’s change of clothes for you in there. Josslyn, can you handle this? Yeah. Go. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Knock on door ] Colette: It’s me. Come in. I got your message. Cyrus Renault is dead. What the hell happened? ♪♪ ♪♪ Cyrus: Samantha and Dex got in the way of my mission, and now you have too, and I can’t allow that. ♪♪ Miss Jacks had a gun I wasn’t aware of. But it’s fine. She only called me. We can still clean this up. Not as easily as you think. Renault attacked Elizabeth Baldwin and Lucky Spencer earlier tonight. Spencer is in the hospital, and now there’s an APB out on Renault. Bets on how long it’s going to take Anna Devane to find that cabin? Lulu: You need to tell me something? Okay, you know how I told you that, um, Cyrus visited you when you were in Silver Water? Yeah, it was too creepy to forget. Tonight, he told Elizabeth that he had — he had plans to “free” you from your coma. AKA kill me. Yeah, and something went wrong, and it only affected your liver. Wait, Cyrus caused my liver failure? Yes. I’m very sorry. I’m so sorry. Why are you sorry, Mom? Because he’s my brother. Oh, not exactly your fault. I know, I know that, but in retrospect, I can see now that he always had this sort of strange fascination with you. Look, no one could have predicted he would do something like this. He’s a very sick man. But, Lulu, if you hadn’t woken up when you did, oh, my God, we would have lost you. Hey, Dad. It’s been really cool having you home. Made me realize how much I miss you, even if I couldn’t admit it. Thanks for showing up and being on my side. Just thanks. Thanks, I guess. Oh, and Grandma and Aunt Lulu want you to know that they love you. And we all think you’ve gotten enough beauty rest now, so you can come out of this. Yeah, Dad. You have to wake up. You just have to. ♪♪ [ Alarm beeping ] You’d really keep Scout from her brother? Scout’s got me. She’ll have Willow and her kids. That’s all the family that she needs. She’s certainly not going to get anywhere near the Quartermaines. What, because you got your feelings hurt? No, because they’re terrible people. I did everything I could to fit in. I did everything I could to keep that family going. And the second that I do something for myself, they can’t turn their backs fast enough on me. Why? Because I fell in love with the wrong woman? Compared to what they’ve done? And you, a murdering hit man, but you’ll always have a home. You’ll always have a place at the fire. You’re making a huge mistake. I don’t think so. Quartermaine name, check. Quartermaine money, Well, that’s in the bank. I don’t need the people and the headaches that go along with it. Now I’m done. Get out of my house. ♪♪ I am not discussing my personal life with you. Good. So then you get to just listen. You did not get knocked up by some random guy in a bar. Your one-night stand was with a Quartermaine. Allegedly. Okay. Allegedly a Quartermaine. And not just any Quartermaine. The family favorite. Not yours. Oh, absolutely not. Jason wanted nothing to do with this family for years. But my mother adored him, as does Monica. He can do no wrong in their eyes. How many times do I have to say it, Tracy? I don’t want or expect anything from this family. And what does this family expect from you? What happened to supporting my right to make decisions for my own baby? I do, but we cannot keep going ahead with this baby is exclusively yours. Especially now that it’s Quartermaine. Brook Lynn, mad at you? It’s just the opposite. I hate that you’ve had to keep this secret for so long. And I hated keeping it from you. I didn’t let myself think about it anyway. You didn’t? I sort of trained myself not to. You compartmentalized. Yeah. I put it in this little box and rarely took it out. That makes sense. How else were you supposed to move on? My baby was with me for nine months. 10, technically. I loved him or her so much. I just wanted to give them the best life possible. You really have no idea where they went? No. But I trust my mom. I know she worked with an agency to find it a good home. Yeah, for sure. Chase, I’m so sorry for lying. Hey, show me the lie. I’m serious. All you did was keep a part of your past private. Just because we’re married, it doesn’t mean you have to share every little thing that happened to you. This wasn’t little. Maybe not, but it is yours. And you get to choose who you share it with. I never want to keep anything from you again. So if you have any questions, just ask. I just want to know one thing. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ So Anna is not aware of the cabin? Not yet, but it’s just a matter of time. Have you been monitoring the PCPD’s radio? Renault’s car was spotted on Route 41, but now the police know what direction to look in. And it’s not like that area is densely populated. That cabin will give them very few options to look at. And then there’s the shooter. I mean, do you honestly think that Josslyn’s going to be able to keep quiet about this? She’s just a kid, Jack. She’s going to want to tell someone. You let me worry about Josslyn. Your job is to get a team to that cabin before Anna finds it. A total cleanup? With one exception. Starting compressions. Is he dying? Dad!

Elizabeth.

I know, I know, I know. They need room to work.

Save him.

Charge to 200. Come on, come on, come on. Clear! [ Paddles thump ] Dr. Gannon said that my body’s reaction to the liver transplant could be why I woke up after four years. Right. So if Cyrus hadn’t tried to kill me, I probably wouldn’t be awake right now. I guess you’re right. And if I hadn’t needed the transplant, Sam would still be here. Honey, we’ve been through this so many times, you can’t let yourself think like this. You are not responsible for Sam’s death. That is all on Cyrus. And I don’t care what kind of crazy savior story he was telling himself. He was killing people. So if you need to point the finger — I know. But it’s just — No buts. No, you put the blame where it belongs, on Cyrus and the people who he paid off or he blackmailed so that he could get out of prison, because he never should have been let out.

What’s wrong?

Lucky’s heart stopped again.

No.

He’s in V-fib. I think Dad’s dying. Portia: Clear! Damn it! Come on, Lucky, don’t do this. Come on. ♪♪ ♪♪ Have a seat. ♪♪ So what happens now? Did you tell anyone where you went tonight? No. Did you tell anyone the address? No, I didn’t tell anybody. And why did Colette give me that address? You set all this in motion when you asked me for the satellite footage from Rice Plaza. When I was looking for the person who killed Dex? That was strategic thinking on your part. That got me nowhere. The footage was gone. No, it wasn’t. Your instincts were spot on. I don’t understand. You knew that Cyrus killed Dex this whole time? You didn’t go to the police? I wanted to see what you would do. You can ask me anything. Are you okay? That’s your one question? I can’t imagine going through something so huge at that age. When I was in high school, my biggest stressor was, am I going to make varsity or not? And you had to choose a future not just for you, but for your child. You are amazing. Do you know that? Here I was already thinking you were so strong and I didn’t even know the half of it. Come on, Lucky, you never quit on me before. Don’t quit now. Come on. You want to go see Lulu? Find out how Lucky’s doing, maybe? What, now? No. You put me back on the case. We got a location on Cyrus. I’m there. Yeah, I said you could work the case, but I didn’t say that you could personally apprehend Renault. Anna, what do you think I’m gonna do, go rogue? Kill the guy instead of bringing him in? Well, it’d make sense if you were tempted. Yeah, okay, well, I did, I was, I thought about it, but, uh, death is too easy and out for this guy. I will follow protocol. [ Cellphone rings ] Okay. Yeah. Okay. 201 Tuthill Road, Oxbow. Great. Good work. Thank you. I will send units and we will be right there. Tuthill Road. Yeah. That’s off Route 41. Okay, we got to go now. Yeah. Hey, uh, keep us posted on Lucky. Yeah. Will do. Good luck. Lucky, is he — We got him back. He is stable.

Oh, thank God.

He’s gonna be okay? I told you your Dad was strong. Thank God. Keeping your private life private in this house is starting to feel impossible. Whoa! Starting to? That’s funny. Look, you can keep playing your who’s the daddy game all you want, but I’m inclined to believe my friend Cody. Oh, my God. Fine. Yes, Jason is the father. Happy? I am so done with this day. Good night. Well, I guess congratulations are in order. You knew that Cyrus killed Dex, and you did nothing? On the contrary, I fed you clues. You followed them. Are you playing some sort of game because you’re into my mom? This has nothing to do with Carly. You’re special, Josslyn. It’s clear to me you have all the qualities necessary to make a great agent. Ingenuity, initiative, mental and physical fortitude. You’re willing and able to do what’s necessary. Necessary for what? For the WSB. I want you to become one of us. You’re truly not upset? Because if you were, I would totally understand. Brook Lynn, stop! Did you really think that I would be? Yeah. So many of our past problems were because of me lying to you. This just felt like another one of those times. I already told you that I do not consider this a lie. But I am curious. Why? Why would you tell me now? Because you’re beating yourself up over me not being able to get pregnant naturally. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. Okay, so once the secret had bearing on our relationship, you told me. I just hope you know you can tell me anything. I know. I just kept this buried for so long. Well, thank you for sharing such an intimate part of yourself. I love you. Chase, I trust you with my life. Right back at you. ♪♪ Dr. Robinson, I can’t thank you enough. Oh, Lucky still needs to be monitored very closely. But as of now, the danger has passed. Oh, thank you. Thank you for saving my dad’s life. Well, I had a lot of help. Dr. Gannon refused to give up. And I want to thank him, too. Not cool making me sweat like that. I guess you wouldn’t be you if you weren’t a colossal pain in the ass, huh? Thank you, Lucky. I don’t know what I’d have done if we’d lost you. You’re not planning on moving out, are you? This is Danny’s home. He needs stability right now, and I’ll do whatever it takes to give it to him. I know this living situation wouldn’t be your first choice, or your second, or your third for that matter. And I’m glad you’re prioritizing Danny, because it shows your loyalty to this family. Because we are your family. And despite the past, Jason, you are one of us. Not one you’re going to want around. Drew is coming for me. So this was all a setup? You get me to kill Cyrus so you can hold it over my head so that I join the WSB? I didn’t know you had access to a gun. Did anyone else? No. And you brought it with you why? To protect myself, obviously. Which you did. That doesn’t make me a spy. Oh, but it does, Josslyn. You don’t look to others to shield you. You shield yourself. And not by hiding. By acting. Tell me what happened in the cabin. I found all of the patient ID bracelets. I saw how many people Cyrus had killed. One of them was Dex. And then? And then Cyrus was going to attack me with a hatchet. So I shot him in self-defense. So if Renault didn’t attack, you wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. I don’t know. Well, it’s a good thing we didn’t call the police then. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

PCPD!

Hands where I can see them! Now I feel stupid for not telling you sooner. You told me when you were ready. I sure wasted a lot of time worrying about how you’d react. How come? Do you judge yourself for the decision? For the decision. Letting it happen in the first place. For all of it. What if giving up my baby didn’t give it a better life? Do you want to try to find him or her? I don’t know. Have you ever tried? No. I mean, I’ve thought about it, of course, but wouldn’t it be unfair to just crash into my child’s life after letting them go? Having you in their life would only make it better. Trust me. Look, it’s 100% your decision. But if you decide to try to find your child, I’ll help you in any way I can. Drew’s coming after all of us. I can only assume that he is the one that convinced Willow to hire the P.I. Yeah, to find something to use against Michael in the divorce. I mean, Drew blames the whole family for turning against him. Which makes Drew the enemy. And I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I am so glad you’re here. We need you. Welcome home, Jason. We’re all here, Dad. Yeah, honey. Mom’s here. Hey. Hey, big brother.

Hey.

We love you. And we can’t wait for you to wake up. So hurry it up, would you? Patience is not my strong suit. I heard you saved another life tonight. Yeah. Congratulations. That was a close one. Lucky wasn’t responding to the defibrillator. I thought we were going to lose him. Well, I think I speak for all of Lucky’s loved ones when I say I am grateful you fought so hard for your friend. I’m just grateful Lucky’s too stubborn to die. The surrounding area is clear. Yeah, you know what? Expand the radius. Okay, aside from everything being completely dust-free, it doesn’t look like anyone inhabited this cabin. There’s literally no sign of anything. No. Hey, um, get forensics here A.S.A.P. If Cyrus was in this cabin, he would have left something behind. And we’re going to find what it is. What about all the evidence at the cabin? Taken care of. Even if I don’t accept your offer? Even if. But I strongly urge you to consider it. You would make one hell of an agent, Josslyn. But as far as tonight is concerned, you need a story. Buy yourself a new phone. Say you lost yours. I had your car driven here from the cabin. Can you drive it home? Yes. We’ll be in touch. ♪♪ She gets to walk out of here just like that? Yes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brook Lynn: Wow. What’s all this? There’s still time to end Valentine’s Day on a high note. I thought your performance at The Savoy was the high note. But I like the way you think. Happy Valentine’s Day, babe. Happy Valentine’s Day. ♪♪ What do you mean Brook Lynn and Chase can’t have children? Why? What happened? There’s a fertility issue. Poor Brook Lynn. Oh, gosh. She must feel so terrible. I feel bad for her. Is she doing okay? She’s actually — She’s fine. The problem’s with Chase. ♪♪ [ Both grunting ] ♪♪ I’m on the phone with 911. Police are on their way. Lucky. We need the police and an ambulance. Cyrus Renault is here, and he’s attacking Lucky Spencer. I think he injected him with digitalis. Yes, Cyrus Renault! I’m looking at him right now. ♪♪ Lucky? Lucky, it’s okay. You have to stay with me, okay? Please hurry. Jordan: I have more than a casual interest in seeing the Esplanade project through, but clearly, there are warring interests at play here. What I need to figure out is how we can make the Esplanade happen but still protect the city. [ Knock on door ] Yeah, come in. H-Hey. Oh. Your assistant let me in. Yeah. Great. Thank you so much for stopping by, Anna. Sure. Hey, Jordan. What’s this about? Uh, we were just discussing the Esplanade, and we wanted to get your opinion. Um… in a potential battle between Drew Quartermaine, Sonny Corinthos, and our latest citizen, Jenz Sidwell… …well, who do you think is the biggest threat? Drew: So what do you say? Will you and the kids move in here with me and Scout? You want us all to live here with you? From the moment I saw this place to the second that I signed it, all anyone’s said to me is this place is too big for just me and Scout, but… They didn’t know that I never intended it to be just the two of us. I want this place to be a home, for you, for me and our families. So what do you say? ♪♪ ♪♪ I really need to talk to you. I need to make a choice tonight… ♪♪ …between what I want… and what I think you’d want. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I was out with some of my coworkers having a Galentine’s Day celebration, but when Curtis called and asked me to join him for a nightcap, I was happy to let them old gals dance the night away while I wrapped up my Valentine’s Day with my favorite nephew. Auntie, I knew you were gonna have a lot of offers, which is why I’m glad you swung by. I make time for what’s important, honey. [ Laughter ] Okay. Right on cue. Thank you. Auntie. Uh-huh. I told my waitress that as soon as she saw me talking with my beautiful auntie to come over with these special Valentine’s Day cocktails. I will take that compliment and the cocktail. [ Chuckles ] Mmm. Mmm, this is delicious. Okay, well, enjoy your nightcap. [ Laughter ] I’ll see you when I get home. Mwah. Love you. Bye, sweetie. Bye, Stella. Love you, too. So, did you really ask me here to wrap up your Valentine’s Day with your auntie, or is there something else going on here? Aunt Stella, there may be a favor that only you can provide. Okay. He’s — He’s unconscious. I’m doing compressions. Come on, Lucky. You gotta stay with me. Help is on the way. ♪♪ What’s wrong? Nothing. It’s the exact opposite, actually. I just… can’t believe you did this for me. Champagne and the chocolates and the roses. You’re amazing. How’d I get so lucky? You’re not that lucky. I can’t give you the one thing you want. Chase — I can’t give you a baby. But at least I can give you this. It’s not enough, but… it’s all I can do. I feel so terrible for them. I — Chase is so young and healthy. To get this news out of the blue? It must have been unreal. And then he’s got to tell Brook Lynn. Well, according to Chase, Brook Lynn’s been nothing but supportive and understanding. She was? Everyone knows how much Brook Lynn loves Chase. And I’m not saying that she would ever be a monster about something like this, but I just know how single-minded she can be when she wants something. I-I don’t know if that’s fair. And I’m not saying that it’s all bad, but you have to agree when Brook Lynn wants something, she goes after it full force. And it’s no secret that what she wanted right now was a baby and that she and Chase were trying. That was — was definitely not a secret. No. All the Quartermaines were talking about it. They were all so excited. They expected her to be pregnant any day now. That’s gonna make this even more rough on them. Brook Lynn wanted to be a mother. I totally get it. I mean, being a father, it’s one of the greatest joys of my life. Same. Except, you know, mother, but — Yeah. I really wanted that for her. She deserves it. I wish you knew the Brook Lynn that I do. Anna: That is a very interesting question. I mean, we all know Sonny and how involved he is in illegal activities, but he’s very adept at covering his bases. Yeah. Better than anyone I’ve ever seen. But, uh, I guess what I’m assuming is that, um, the PCPD continues to monitor Sonny, and if you were to find the evidence to bring Sonny down, that you would. And Drew is certainly encouraging of that. He basically said so to my face. Oh. The fact that Drew was bold enough to do that really worries me. And not because I have any interest in protecting Sonny, obviously, but because Drew was so easily wanting to align himself with Jenz Sidwell. And that concerns me deeply. Well, me, too. I have firsthand experience of how dangerous Sidwell is. He ordered his men to kill Jason and me. And he makes his living with illegal mining. In order to move this illegal merchandise, he needs a port through which to move it. And that’s why he’s here in Port Charles. But the problem is, our port is Sonny’s territory. Exactly. Which makes it very advantageous for Sidwell to team up with Drew in order to take down Sonny. And Drew is a congressman now, which means he has a lot of influence. His helping Sidwell only empowers a very dangerous man. I’d rather deal with the devil I know in Sonny than the devil we don’t know in Sidwell. And it seems that Drew Quartermaine doesn’t care about any of this. But as representatives of this city, we should. Drew, I just moved the kids back in with my mom again. We have bounced around so much lately. What my kids need now is stability. I haven’t had a second to think about what’s next for us, much less wrap my brain around the idea of moving in with you. That’s partially why I’m asking you to move in now. Just that, you know, we’ve been through so much transition lately. Scout, she lost her mom, and she’s been living in a hotel since Christmas. And she doesn’t need that uncertainty, either. I just — I want stability for all of us. Imagine how much the kids would love it. I mean, really, like — like, all in here together in one house, finally being able to really settle in somewhere, being able to — to, like, decorate their bedrooms exactly the way they want. And we can get them a swing set for the backyard. I don’t know, maybe a treehouse. They’d love that. We’d love it. Like, watching them running around, laughing, playing. That does sound nice. And we get a nanny just to help us out a little bit. Well, we’d need one. We both work, and you’ll be in D.C. a lot. And mostly we’d just get a chance to breathe, just…breathe, something we haven’t been able to do in way too long. Just all be together here, enjoying each other and… our new life. I really want this place to be the first step into our future together. Just… tell me that you want the same thing. I know Cyrus is the one who murdered you. And a lot of people are telling me reasons why I shouldn’t kill him. But I know I could kill him, Sam, and get away with it. I want to kill him! ♪♪ I want to kill him. There’s just one thing holding me back. I know that you’d want me to put our son… before my need for vengeance. ♪♪ [ Sighs ] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I know that you and Brook Lynn are close. I-I get it. You guys grew up together. You’ve known each other for 100 years. Well, not quite that long, but most of our lives, yeah. Exactly. You’ve seen each other through all sorts of things. And you’ve got a history with her that you don’t have with anyone else. Maybe it’s part of the reason that I still get into it so much with Brook Lynn. She knows things about you that I don’t, and… it’s hard. Okay, but it shouldn’t be. Look. Let’s kind of clear this up once and for all, okay? Yeah, Brook Lynn and I, we have history. And Carly used that to try and get her to break us up all those years ago. And when Brook Lynn agreed to do it. Yes, but she knows what she did was wrong, and she feels terrible about it to this day. But it was a long time ago, and we got to let that go. Brook Lynn and I, what we have is a friendship. We’ve always had it. Hopefully we’ll continue to have it. That’s why I stood up for her and Chase at their wedding. I was just happy my friends found each other. That’s why she was supportive of me and Sam. She wanted to see me happy. How could she not? The point is… Brook Lynn and I are friends. That’s it. And if you see her as someone who wants something more than that with me, you’re wrong. Okay? Couldn’t be further from the truth. Brook Lynn: Babe, stop. Please, just sit with me, okay? We need to talk about this. I don’t know what else there is to say. Then just listen to me. When we said our vows to each other… for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, I meant every word of them from the bottom of my heart. You couldn’t possibly have expected this. Neither could you. I’m not gonna lie. This is hard. I wanted to have your baby. But… that’s just the way life goes, right? Sometimes you get thrown a curve ball, and plans change. Just because we won’t have that version of our dream doesn’t mean we can’t still be parents and have the family that we want. The life you’re describing sounds perfect, Drew. But you and I both know that there’s so much you’re leaving out. Nothing about our situation is perfect. For one, I’m still married. And I’ve thought about that. And I don’t — I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem, you know, because you two are legally separated. And Michael was the one that filed for divorce, and he’s — he’s out of the country entirely. Being treated for burns over a huge part of his body. Michael may be scarred for life. I know, and, uh, believe me, that’s so terrible. I know. Uh… But it doesn’t change the immediate circumstances — that you’re here raising kids alone. I don’t think the courts would fault you for trying to find them a loving, stable home. I really don’t. The courts aren’t what I’m worried about. Amelia may be too young to understand, but Wiley isn’t. He adores his father. I know, and he should. And I haven’t told him that Michael and I are splitting up yet. Wiley still thinks his dad’s coming home, and we’re gonna be a family again, like before. So moving him and Amelia in with you right now just feels wrong. I promise, Sam. ♪♪ I’ll always put Danny first. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I can’t have Port Charles in the middle of a territory battle between these three men. Anna: Yeah. Listen, I’ve tried to talk to Drew and tell him to back off, but honestly, he’s not the same man I once knew. He’s different now, and not in a good way. He’s certainly made it very clear that he’s gonna go after Sonny and Jason. But, you know, it’s his willingness to align himself with Sidwell that’s really concerning, because the man is a known criminal. Oh, and Drew is very aware of that. So what are we saying here? That Drew has turned to the point that we can’t trust him? Maybe that’s something that the PCPD should find out. [ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. I have to take this outside. Okay. Alright. Commissioner Devane. Cyrus Renault? Where was the assault? How did this all get so close to getting out of control so fast? [ Cellphone rings ] Oh, I’m sorry. I have to take this quickly. Elizabeth? Laura, you need to get to the hospital right away. Lucky’s in trouble. Auntie, I understand you’re good friends with Congressman Douglas Henderson. Doug? Yeah, we go way back. We were community organizers together back in Baltimore. He’s a good man. I’ve heard that. In fact, he’s a legend. And not just in Baltimore, but nationwide. And he’s incredibly influential in Washington. He has worked very hard to get where he is. Yes, he can make or break policy, and he can get a bill passed, or he can make sure one is dead on arrival. And I heard he has a lot of say in congressional committee appointments. Where you going with this, Curtis? Aunt Stella, I need you to introduce me to the congressman. Better yet, I need to develop a relationship with him, before Drew destroys everything I’m building. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Do you? Because I don’t want you to think that my decision means that I don’t care about you. Because I do. So much. You know that. I do. I know that. I just — I don’t want to rush you. I don’t want to pressure you. I just — We got the rest of our lives to be together. But I also want you to know that this house is yours, too, like when you’re ready, okay? And when you’re ready, I think we should tell the kids about us, about our relationship. Together. I’m not sure if that’s the best idea. I don’t feel comfortable talking to the kids about us while Michael’s still at the clinic. Fair enough. When you’re ready. You’re worth waiting for. Thank you. Now let’s get you home to see those amazing kids of yours. It really is a beautiful house, Drew. Not even close to as beautiful as the woman standing in it. ♪♪ Part of me is threatened by Brook Lynn. And it’s not because of you or your history with her, because… we haven’t been a couple in a really long time. And she clearly loves Chase. Well, then why? Because everything changed when I went into that coma. It’s like I went to sleep one night, and then I woke up, and the whole world had changed. Except I didn’t change, but your lives, they kept going. And… And you mended your friendship with Brook Lynn. Tracy’s incredibly close with Brook Lynn now, and Maxie even says that Brook Lynn is one of her best friends. And that bothers you? Yes! I lost four years laying in that hospital bed, and it’s like Brook Lynn just stepped into all the important parts of my life and relationships while I was gone. So you think, or you feel like maybe Brook Lynn took your place in all our lives? I don’t know. Maybe. I’m just starting to wonder if there is even room for me anymore. I saw what a total natural you were when we took Violet in. I mean, being a mom, it’s — It’s effortless for you. I don’t know about that. I made a lot of mistakes. Look, I know we would love any child that we were blessed with. We would, and we will. But selfishly, I’m grieving the one that I imagined us conceiving together. [ Sighs ] Chase, listen to me. I know you’re hurting. But that stuff doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. There are so many ways for us to start a family. We could adopt or foster. However we bring a child into our lives, we’ll be doing it together, and they will always be a part of the both of us. What’s the status? Cyrus Renault was here, and he threatened Elizabeth Baldwin with a full syringe, which she believes contained digitalis. Lucky Spencer showed up, and he and Renault fought. During the fight, Renault injected Spencer with whatever was in the syringe. Oh, God. Do we know where Renault is now? No. He managed to flee the scene, but we’ve got an APB out on him. And Lucky Spencer? Paramedics took him to G.H. Ms. Baldwin went with him. We haven’t gotten an update on his condition yet. 6, 7, 8… Doctor, what do we have? Possible cardiac arrest. Possible v-fib. Isaiah. It’s digitalis. What? 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Do you know where Lucky Spencer is? I’m his mother. Give me just a second. I’ll look. Okay. Laura? Elizabeth. Where’s Lucky? He’s in room one. Oh. The doctors are working on him right now. Is he alright? I-Is he going to get through this? I don’t know. ♪♪ Josslyn: Dex. You didn’t deserve this. ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Door opens ] ♪♪ I shouldn’t have said that. As it was coming out, I realized how selfish I sounded, especially considering everything Brook Lynn’s going through right now. It’s not selfish to wonder where you fit in after everything you’ve been through. I should have known you’d understand. I’m glad Brook Lynn has you. You and I know what it’s like to struggle to get pregnant. We’ve been through the highs and lows, and it’s hard to finally realize that the family you want is never going to happen. And it makes all the dumb stuff that Brook Lynn and I have been fighting about seem really petty. Okay, why don’t you stop beating yourself up? This is stuff you didn’t know. No, I owe Brook Lynn an apology, and I should go right now. Ju– Wait. Okay? I — I told you what Brook Lynn and Chase were going through because I wanted you to go easy on Brook Lynn. Chase told me in confidence. I-I don’t want you letting on that you know. Yes, but I’ve been judging Brook Lynn all wrong. I owe her an apology. Okay, Lulu, just hang on. Wait, hold on. Sorry. [ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Jordan, what’s up? Oh, my God. I’ll be right there. What’s wrong? It’s Lucky. We just waited too long to arrest Renault, and now he’s attacked Lucky, who’s fighting for his life, and he could die. It’s — It’s — Oh. Aiden: What? Jordan: I just spoke with Lulu, and she’s on her way. I’ll go see if I can get an update from the police. Thank you. Let me know as soon as you hear anything. Absolutely. I don’t understand this. Lucky was injected with something? How did that happen? Cyrus attacked Lucky. Cyrus? Mm. My brother? What — Why would he want to hurt Lucky? Because he knew that Lucky and I suspected him the killing the people — the patients in this hospital, especially the ones whose deaths were unexplained, including Sam. Sam? No, it just doesn’t make any sense. Why would — Why? Why would — He said it was — it was a divine calling. He wanted to release the people who were trapped inside their bodies. The bedridden ones. He was — He was saving them from their suffering. But Sam wasn’t any of those things. She was perfectly healthy. Oh, my God. Lulu? I’m sorry, Laura. Oh, my God. I’m sorry. Cyrus wanted — He tried to release Lulu. He’s the reason her liver failed. Oh, my God. ♪♪ ♪♪ You shouldn’t have come here. [ Voice breaking ] You’re a monster. You killed Sam. You killed Dex. You’re not gonna get away with it. We’ll see. Samantha and Dex got in the way of my mission. And now you have, too. And I can’t allow that. ♪♪ [ Gunshots ] [ Groaning, coughing ] ♪♪ Now — [ Coughs ] Now you’re the murderer. Oh, God. ♪♪ Aiden: Oh, my God. Mom. Are you okay? Elizabeth: Yes, yes. I’m fine. What happened? Did Cyrus hurt you? No. No, no, no. I’m okay. Your dad saved me. Um, Elizabeth, I’m so sorry to interrupt, but would it be alright if I had a few questions for you? I want to know exactly what happened while it’s still fresh in your mind. Yeah, absolutely. Um, will you stay with your grandmother? Okay. ♪♪ Dad’s gonna be okay, right? We would love any child, no matter how they came to us. But part of me feels like if we adopt, it wouldn’t be fair to you. What do you mean? Adoption is a wonderful, amazing thing. We’d be getting the family we always wanted, and we’d be doing it together. Look at my dad and Leo. Chase, they adore each other. Do you think my dad thinks of Leo as anything other than his son? Or loves him any less, just because he’s not his biological father? Of course not. Ned is Leo’s father. Leo’s a Quartermaine in every way that matters. Exactly. Just like Monica is Jason’s mother, even though she didn’t give birth to him. Families are created in all different ways, and no way is better than the other. Look, I know a lot of couples go through this, but it is my fault that you can’t get pregnant. We can’t have a baby together because of me. You’ll never get to experience what it’s like to have a baby. I am robbing you of that experience! Auntie, Drew’s been gunning for me ever since Michael and I took over Aurora. Drew made it abundantly clear to me that he will not hesitate to stop any of Aurora’s projects from going through at the federal level. Even if those projects benefit his constituents? Even then. Drew’s changed. He used to be such a good guy. He’s different now. He’s become… vindictive. He still has a huge financial stake in Aurora’s success, and yet he’s willing to let the company take a hit just to satisfy his bruised ego. Any bruising to Drew’s healthy ego is his own fault. He was more than willing to backstab you when it suited them. Yeah. That he was. And I suspect he’ll bring that same dark energy to Washington. And that’s why I need you, Auntie. So what do you say? Will you help me? ♪♪ ♪♪ Lulu, Lucky’s in ICU. Thank you. Hey. I’ll be praying for him. Any word on his condition? Not yet. This is Cyrus? Yeah. Okay, I want in on finding him. Okay. We can use all the help we can get. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Shakily ] Hi. Um, I need your help. Of course I’ll help you. Just like that? Drew was a very powerful man, and he’s coming for you. Besides that, you need to protect yourself. And I need to let Doug know what kind of snake Drew really is before he thinks about bringing him into his caucus. I agree. Thank you, Auntie. You don’t need to thank me. You’re a good man, and I’m very proud of you. And there are very few people I hold in higher regard than Doug. So if I can do something to help you both, count me in. Thank you. That’s a huge relief. But a little word of advice, though. You held a mirror up to Drew, and he did not like what he saw. That’s why he’s coming after you. It’s been a long day, and I’m not in the mood for another battle in our ongoing war. I’m here to make peace. Why the hell would I want to make peace with you? For Sam. From the moment you agreed to marry me — No, actually, from the moment I fell in love with you, I’ve imagined you carrying our child. I hear women talk about what it’s like to have this miracle growing inside of them, to feel the baby kick or — or hiccup. And I robbed you of that. No — Brook Lynn, I did! Because of me, you will never get to experience what it’s like to have a miracle growing inside of you. Chase, please — I’m sorry. I-I can’t — I-I’m making this all about myself. I know you’re going through a lot, too. It’s just — Chase, stop! ♪♪ I have had a baby. ♪♪ I’ve been pregnant before. ♪♪ Why haven’t we heard anything yet, Mom? I know waiting is hard, but the doctors will be out as soon as they can. Any word on Lucky? What is it? Just tell me. Is my son alive? What did you find out? A traffic cam picked up an image of Cyrus Renault’s car heading southeast. Southeast? Okay. Right, thank you. There’s nothing southeast of Port Charles besides miles and miles of empty woods. Yeah. Let me put in a call. I’ve got files on Cyrus that go way back. There’s gotta be something in them that can give us a lead based on this new information. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you. Thank you. What the hell is out in those woods?
