THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Here you are! I’ve been looking all over for you. It’s almost like you’re avoiding me. No. No, no, no. Why would I avoid you? Look, I understand the situation. Now, in front of olivia, who happens to be one of my best friends in the whole world, you have to pretend so you could spare her feelings. Pretend? Well, w-what do you mean? Eddie! We’re alone now, right? I mean, come on. When you first walked in and you saw me, the look on your face was undeniable. You may not remember olivia, but you remember me. Well, as I said, you look very familiar. Mm-hmm, which is exactly what you need to say in front of the family you forgot. There’s no way you can forget all the times we had. Young lois:

Face it, eddie. I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence. I’m not a singer. I’m a salesman. Come on.

[ Chanting softly ] Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah! You were amazing! Eddie, eddie, eddie! You took my breath away! Come here, you little miracle worker! Oh! Eddie!

[ Laughs ] I will remember this night for the rest of my life. I won’t forget it, either. You know, we seem to have a little time on our hands. Any suggestions on, uh, how to fill it? I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I sure do love you. And I would be so honored if you’d be my wife. Okay! Lois: Edward lawrence ashton is the biggest liar on the face of the earth! Mr. Ned ashton is none other than mr. Eddie maine! Not a word! Not another word from your lying mouth! Not ever again! I love you. I don’t know who you are. I don’t even think

you know who you are. I’m ned ashton, who fell in love with a woman who changed my life, who made me love her and need her in a way that I have never loved or needed anyone.

[ Shrieks ] I can’t do this anymore. You and I are from two completely different worlds. We have to start thinking about what’s best for the baby. That’s what really matters. I love you, ned. Ned: But you’re still leaving me. Some people never find it, you know, loves of their life. But I owned it — for a while anyway. Forever. Lois: Come on. Our wedding… coney island… I can see it in your eyes. You remember me. That’s not what you’re seeing in my eyes. Look — you look familiar, but I really don’t remember you or our wedding. I mean, I was married to olivia, and I don’t remember her. I’ve got this great daughter and I don’t remember her, either. Finn, where are you? It’s backgammon night. You’re late. No. He’s not. Finn’s not coming. You came all this way to tell me that? No. I came to settle a score. And, pilar, will you just wait right here with avery? Yeah. Of course. Hi. May I please speak to detective falconeri? It’s a matter of life and death. Dex! Did you find ava?

[ Monitor beeping ] Drew: Hey. Hi. Hi. Hm. Mmm… how are you feeling? Better now that you’re here. Okay. What did the doctors say? They said that I am recovered enough to go back to prison. Cyrus: Dr. Gatlin-holt. What are you doing here? Well, I’m happy to see you again, too. You know, we have some unfinished business. Yeah, ma, that’s great lois is back in town. I will — when I get a chance. Yeah. Okay. But I got to go. Because I’m at work, ma. Okay. Love you. Bye.

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Sorry to bother you, detective, but she said it was urgent. It is. Yeah. What is it, joss? Ava’s in trouble. Dex! Anything?! Damn. No. There’s no one here. Basement is empty. No sign of ava.

[ Engine shuts off ] You don’t have to do this, mason. Oh, but I do, ava.

Uh, ava didn’tpick up avery? No. And pilar hasn’t been in contact with ava. Does sonny know? No. Pilar knew that he was marrying nina in puerto rico. She didn’t want to contact my mom ’cause she’s dealing with drew in the hospital. I went to wyndemere. I talked to ava’s butler. He hasn’t seen her since the night before last. But yesterday morning, he — he found a broken martini glass on the living-room floor. I found ava’s cellphone. And this. This isn’t avery’S. She hates grape. I asked her. It’s not hers. So you think whoever dropped that was with ava? Dex: You’re certain this is the final location with ties to pautuck trucking? Yes. Affirmative. And you’ve already searched the other seven. It’s a reasonable assumption, given his connection to the trucking company,

that he would have

taken ms. Jerome to one of these locations. Okay. Did you check to see if mason gatlin has any properties only in his name? I went through all the financials available on mr. Gatlin, including purchase histories, credit cards, known addresses. Everything points to him only using these properties. Spinelli, this may be nothing, but… ava was here. You’re certain? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, maybe gatlin was alerted when I checked the other locations and he decided to move her. Seems like a logical conclusion.

I need you to check

every traffic camera in pautuck and on the surrounding highways. Already under way.

Okay. If mason is

still in the same vehicle, we may get lucky. I know this wasn’t your idea, mason. Why? I’m so dumb, I can’t have one? No. No. Because…I don’t think you’d hurt me. I don’t think you’d hurt anybody. I just — I think you’re following orders. And I understand that whoever you’re working for must be very powerful. But this is one order that I think that you should disobey. ‘Cause if you go through with this and sonny finds out that you were behind my disappearance — and believe me, he will find out — then you’re gonna be the one who pays. I think you know what that means. Mason. Really, your only chance is to let me go. You think so? Yeah. I’ll cover for you. You’d do that for me? You’d cover for me with sonny? Yeah! Yeah. Of course. Of course I would. I’ll make up some excuse for why I — for why I was gone. And sonny will buy it. He will. I-I’ve gotten things over on him in the past, you know. Well, that’s a really good offer. Except for that you already told me he’d figure out anything I did because he’s so damn smart. But you want me to believe

you’ve fooled him?

[ Chuckles ] I can do it. I can. And, you know, right now I haven’t been gone long enough for him to even be suspicious! But if I’m gone for much longer or if — if something should happen to me, sonny will find out what you did. But if you bring me home right now… I’ll protect you.

[ Chuckles ] Ava, you’re full of it. I’m not gonna let you go. We’re gonna sit here, quietly… and wait for my orders. Austin: What do you want? I want to thank you for testifying on my behalf at the hearing. As you can see, with your critical input, the judge determined I wasn’t medically fit to stay in pentonville and finish my sentence. Right. Because you’re such a “feeble” man. You know, complete freedom miraculously invigorates a man. Well, you are a master of miracles. So why don’t you pull another one out of your hat and let ava go? When did you become so cynical? We had a deal — I would testify on your behalf, and if you were released, then you would release ava. So here you are. Now you live up to your end of the bargain and tell mason to let ava go. When? When do they want you going back to pentonville? I’m not exactly sure. Okay, well, that’s wrong. Your doctor’s being overly optimistic about your condition. Carly… I mean, I’m gonna talk to him, and I’m gonna make him understand that it’s way too soon to send you back to pentonville. No, I don’t want you to ask the doctor to lie or exaggerate to keep me here longer, carly. He saved my life. He did his job. Saving your life could be a waste of time. Because if he sends you back to pentonville, the people who almost killed you are gonna try and finish the job! Hey, you two. Eddie, ma, I wanted to introduce you to chase. Oh! It’s very nice to meet you, ms. Cerullo. Oh! Well, aren’t you as gorgeous as everyone says! And please do not call me ms. Cerullo. Please call me lois. Thank you, lois. You know, I was practically a baby when I had her. Ma! What? I’m just being honest with the man who’s making our daughter so happy. I mean, you weren’t lying to me when you told me that, right? Of course not. Chase is the best. Aww. And that’s exactly what our daughter deserves. Isn’t that right, ned? Eddie. -What? -Pay attention. Seeing these two together, it feels so right. Right? A-and, chase, you should feel honored because my daughter doesn’t settle for anyone. Ma! What?! I’m just saying! You always go where your heart leads you, and your heart led you to chase. Was it your heart that led you to me, lois? Alright. Let me have it. Thank you. What? Thank you. You did something that had to be done. I kept putting it off, and I shouldn’t have. You’re not angry? Damn straight I’m angry — at you, at myself for not telling chase, at my diagnosis. But if my illness has taught me anything, it’s that… anger is a waste of time.

[ Laughs ]

What the hell’s so funny? I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at myself. I was so convinced that you were gonna be furious with me for telling chase about your als, for which I am so sorry. But instead, here you are waxing philosophical about anger and time. I was hardly “waxing.” But I do understand the irony, even if I fail to see the humor. Well, I guess I-I find it funny that you think that anger’s a waste of time. It is. Well, for me, I find anger a powerful motivator. In fact, I consider my ability to channel anger into action an asset. Figures you would. We kind of had a complicated romantic history. That would have been good for you to forget. I’d still like to hear it. Nah. Nah. Some other time. You know, chase and his better half don’t want to sit here listening to me yammer on about our past.

I’d like to hear it. Brook lynn and lois: Really? Absolutely. Alright. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Come on. Uh, okay. Well…

[ Clears throat ] I guess it all started when my heart led me to a man who didn’t exist. Carly. I’m gonna be fine. Don’t worry. How can you ask me not to worry about you? Well, I’m in pentonville because of my own actions, my own decisions. You’re being your usual noble self, and I love it. It’s something I absolutely love about you. But it doesn’t cost that doctor a damn thing to keep you here, to keep you safe! Hell, he’s not risking his medical license. He’s protecting your life, the life that he saved. And I love you for trying to rationalize it, I really do, but you got to let me deal with my own situation. It’s not your own situation. It’s my situation, too. You don’t have to take orders from anybody. Oh, god. Will you shut up?! I know exactly who you think I am. I’ve known ever since that fancy quartermaine barbecue. Yeah, you walked in and you saw me threatening austin… and you saw the knife in my hand. Turned you on a little. I could see that in your eyes. Then you heard me talk… saw a little dirt under my fingernails and said to yourself, “hey. He’s white trash.” I wasn’t worth your breath. It wasn’t until you found out that I knew you murdered your rich husband… that I even got your attention. And then I could see how phony it was. But, hey, my smart-ass cousin,

he got your attention. Yeah, ’cause he’s a high and mighty doctor. So you just jumped right in the sack with him. Betcha that was disappointing, huh? You could’ve had your chance to be with me, a real man. But you missed it. And now you’re never gonna get that chance again. So you’re gonna sit there and you’re gonna shut up! Giving you a seat right here in the important person’s chair. Do you know where mommy is? Uh, you know, that’s what we’re gonna figure out, okay? I know it’s late, but I want you to stay here with your sister and pilar, okay? Okay. Alright. Cool? Thank you. Yeah. Of course. Hey. Uh… whatever they need. Okay? You got it. Thank you. As I said, I am grateful for your help, doctor. And I trust, with the lord’s guidance, everyone will be safe. Stop. Cyrus, stop. I promise you — ava’s not a threat to you. She has no idea that mason and I work for you.

[ Device beeping ] Sounds as if your patients need you. Godspeed. Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. Do you have the passenger? I do. Take her home. Hey. Wait. I don’t think that’s — the situation has been resolved to my satisfaction. Take. Her. Home.

S young. Practically a baby, like I told you earlier. And I was naive. I became completely infatuated with eddie maine, who I thought was living a double life. Pharmaceutical salesman by day, rocker by night. That’s quite a combination. Tell me about it! Little did I know, he was actually ned ashton, who was planning on marrying another woman at that time. And get this — he actually married that woman while he was married to me. Olivia? No, no. Not vivi. That came later. You could sell this story to “20/20.” I tried! They didn’t believe me. Right? Hold on. Eddie…is any of this ringing a bell? ‘Cause I swear it’s the god’s honest truth. No. No. And just so you know, I am not living a double life now. I am myself — eddie maine, musician. And, lois, look. If what you’re saying really happened — whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you calling me a liar? No. I just want to apologize on behalf of the man I was back then… and for the way I treated you. So, how is chase handling it? Wait a minute. How are you? Here. Sit. Ah. Well, I’M… getting weaker. My hands are cramping and twitching a lot more. I drop things. I really miss being able to drive myself, but I had to give that up a while back so I wouldn’t pose a danger to anyone else. And I’m probably gonna have to start using a cane sometime soon ’cause my balance is going in and out. Otherwise, I’m great. How about you? How about a drink? Sounds good. Scotch okay? Perfect. I am… very relieved you came by.

[ Chuckling ] You are? Yes. You know how it is when you’ve made a mistake and you dread the consequences? Yeah. That’s how I felt with chase. No, no, no, no, no. You may not have handled the situation perfectly, not telling chase when you told finn, but there were mitigating circumstances. I, on the other hand, shoved my foot right in my mouth and blurted something that was not mine to say. Clearly there was no malice intended.

[ Glasses clink ] Clearly. ‘Cause if there is, you’d know it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure. Why did finn bail on me, by the way? Violet has a cold. Mm. I’m sorry to hear that. You know, I could fill in for finn. Oh. That’s nice. Thank you. But finn understands my — uh, my competitive nature. You? Competitive? Shocking, I know. Who do you think taught finn everything he knows about backgammon? Hmm. In that case… let’s roll. I’m the one who acted on inside information. It’s my fault that you’re in this situation. Carly, we have been over this. You got to stop blaming yourself. Believe me, I would love to blame someone else. We don’t have that much time left. Let’s not go over this. I know that you didn’t mean any of this to happen. But it happened! A-and you almost died because those inmates attacked you, and now they want to send you right back to them! Okay. [ Grunts ] It’s not the doctor’s fault that I’m in prison. Whoever turned us in to the sec knew that the feds would twist what we did and make us look guilty. But not “us.” It’s you. You’re the one taking the fall. My choice.

[ Knock on door ][ Door opens ] What the hell? Hey, josslyn, I’m gonna call my mother just to let her know where I am. Oh, yeah. Of course. We’ll be fine. Okay. Hey, you. So…I heard your dad and nina got married. Yeah. On daddy’s island. Bet it was beautiful. Yeah. Donna got to go, but I didn’T. You know, your dad really wanted you to be there, and he was super disappointed about how things worked out. But I think when he and nina get back, they’re gonna arrange to take you somewhere super special. You think?! I’ll make sure of it? Come here. I hope mommy can go, too. Who was that on the phone?

[ Engine starts ] Wha– hey. Where — where are we going, mason? What are you gonna do?! To hell with the boss’s orders. Thank god.

[ Engine shuts off ] What are you doing?! Handling things my way. No. No! No! No! [ Grunts ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey. What’s going on, spinelli? I was hoping you could tell me. Has dex been in touch with you? No, I thought that you were in contact with him, and he was checking out those places in pautuck. Yeah, I-I was, but now I-I’m not. I-I got a hit on mason gatlin’s vehicle out on county road 21, and I sent that information to dex. What? He’s following that maniac? Yes, and we had cell contact when he began his pursuit, but then he hit a dead zone.

[ Inhales sharply ] Sorry. Poor choice of words. Well, spinelli, you have all of that fancy equipment. Use it and find dex! I’m doing my best, but if you hear from him… I’ll let you know right away. Copy that.

[ Line ringing ] Come on, dante.

[ Mason grunts ] You singing a different tune now, ava?! No! No! Stop! Stop!

[ Vehicle door closes ] Let her go! That’s it? That’s what? What I just told you, what my eddie put me through, are just the tips of the icebergs. And, what, you think “I’m sorry” just covers that? Uh, I don’t know what else you expect me to say. My eddie maine was an alter-ego, but this eddie maine, he’s conveniently forgotten all the schemes and the schnookery that my eddie maine put me through. So I guess — I guess my question of all of this is, how many eddie maines are in there?! I know you don’t want to hear it… of course I don’t want to hear it. Because I lived it! Because even after

all of that, I ended up marrying ned ashton quartermaine. And we had a beautiful daughter and we had some great memories. We were very much in love, and we were married for some time. And then we got divorced. But this eddie maine, he’s forgotten all of the terrible things my eddie put me through. But this eddie maine has also forgotten all of the wonderful, wonderful times that we have had. And you’re a poorer man for that. And I pity you! Well, I don’t need your damn pity, lady! Because I’m very happy just the way I am!

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Chase, I apologize. I may have let that go a little too far. No. No. Uh, now I know where your daughter gets her spirit. I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting. What are you doing out of prison? Oh, I remember — you like to get right to the heart of the matter, don’t you, mrs. Corinthos? It’s spencer. Of course. Uh, clearly, you and mr. Corinthos are no longer together. Answer the question. You wouldn’t be standing here having passed right by the guard if you broke out of pentonville. You’d be on your way to a country with no extradition treaty. Alas, nothing so dramatic. I was released from pentonville earlier today. On what grounds? Medical. The doctors determined that any further stay could jeopardize my health and that I don’t have the capacity to harm anyone. And you were concerned about asking the doctor to stay here longer? When some quack let this maniac out on the streets? And my first mission on said streets was to come and check on the man who saved my life. Big mistake. You know, I am so glad you’re here keeping my friend drew company, ms. Spencer, because I have long wanted to see you. Who are you? You’ll never know if you don’t drop the gun. I got a clean shot. Take the shot!

[ Ava screams ]

[ Grunting ]

I believe that’s 3-1. Best of 7? No. It’s late. I’d better be heading back. I’m tired. Coward. Absolutely. I can see by that killer look in your eye that I should quit while I’m ahead. Oh, you’re a liar. You are really good. Thank you. And thank you for the distraction and the drink. We’ll do it again. I’d like nothing more. I didn’t realize how gratifying it could be to beat tracy quartermaine at something. Well, hold on to that feeling until the next time when I wipe the floor with you.

[ Chuckles ] We’ll just have to wait and see. Let me call a ride service. No, no, no. Yuri will take you. Okay. Thank you. -Gregory. -Yeah? I… I really am sorry. No. I-I told you. I’m not upset about what happened with chase. I don’t mean that. I mean your — your diagnosis. Good night.

[ Grunting ] No! Stop!

[ Gunshots ] I have nothing to say to you. So get out. I can appreciate your antipathy, ms. Spencer. After all, there was a great deal of friction between us when your ex-husband, sonny, went missing and you and jason morgan were running the territories. What do you want, cyrus? I just want ms. Spencer to understand that any friction back then was before I found the lord.

[ Chuckling ] Are you kidding me? Look. I regret the tactics I used. But even then, there was no personal animosity, ms. Spencer. I have tons of personal animosity towards you. And I completely understand. But I just hope that at some point in the future I will have the opportunity to make amends. Don’t hold your breath. I’m sure that at least you appreciate the fact that I was able to come to the aid of mr. Cain. What is he talking about? I have no clue. Oh, I’m sorry. I-I assumed they told you I was the one who found you lying beaten in the shower. I got help for you. I was told you would have perished otherwise. So just as you saved my life, the lord gave me an opportunity to save yours. And seeing you here like this recovering so well after the way you looked after I came to your aid, it’s — it’s thanks enough. God bless you both. Oh. You’re here. I live here. Oh, I know. I know. I was just hoping maybe — ah. Never mind. What’s up? That woman is driving me crazy. Olivia? No, the other one. Ohh. You mean not your wife, olivia — your ex-wife, lois. I don’t remember either one of them. But the second one. Yeah, well, lois drives everybody a little crazy. She keeps going on and on about our past. The part where you married her or the part where you married someone else while you were married to her? I don’t need to hear this from you. You’re right. I’m sorry. Look. I — I am not a lois fan. However, you must realize how difficult this situation is for her. I do, but no one seems to understand how difficult this is for me. All I keep hearing about is what an awful guy I was… or what a wonderful guy I was. And none of it means anything to me because I’m not that guy. I’m sorry. Yeah. Me too. Uh, why did you come in here? Well, when my head is spinning like this, I find that music is the only thing that helps me. Okay. Be my guest. Thank you. From the first time that I arrested brook lynn, I could tell that she was a force of nature. You say that like arresting her was a romantic gesture. No, but needless to say, she didn’t appreciate my actions as a detective. Because you didn’t really have a rea– shh, shh, shh. I want to hear what he has to say. From the first time, even though that we didn’t agree on everything — on anything. Okay. On anything.

[ Chuckles ] I couldn’t help but admire her spirit and commitment. I mean, she was so eager to put everything that she believed in on the line. And I always wondered where she got that nerve from. Now I know. Aww. Well, you know, I didn’t do everything right when it comes to being a mother, but if I taught my daughter to stand up for herself, then that makes me proud. ‘Cause my brook lynn, she’s always been her own person. With a very high tolerance for embarrassment. I already apologized for the scene with your father. I know, ma. It’s fine. I’m just glad that chase got to meet the real you. I’m glad I finally got to meet you, lois. Well, the feeling is mutual. It makes me feel so good to see my daughter so happy. And you seem like a very kind and patient man. Ma! Both of which are qualities that are good to have if you’re gonna move forward with my daughter. Okay. I got to break this love fest up. We have to go. Okay. Wait. Just one hug. I want a hug. Come on. Ohh.

Brook lynn: Let’s go, chase. Aww. Brook? Hey! Hello?! You’re welcome. For what? They’re together because of me. Oh, is that a fact? My daughter found a man that clearly adores her, and she loves him back, and that joy is all because of you? They were miles apart. I brought them together. Because you blackmailed my daughter to get what you wanted! That man didn’t find the lord. He found a loophole. You got to give cyrus some credit, though. He knows how to work the system. System? The system’s a joke! That man is walking around free while you’re going back to pentonville for insider trading that you lost money on?! It’s insane! It’s just something that we got to deal with, at least for now. That man is dangerous. He can’t be out there roaming the streets of port charles.

[ Cellphone rings ] Josslyn, what’s up? Mom, everyone is safe, but something’s happened, and you need to come home right away. Ava: Dex? Are you alright? Dante: This is detective falconeri. I need paramedics and a crime-scene unit about two miles up county road 21. Thank you. Did he hurt you? No. No. I’m okay. How did you find me? With a lot of help. It’s a long story. Well, I’m glad I’ll get to hear it. Perp is still alive, but he’s unconscious. Two gunshot wounds to the back. He’s gonna need medical attention and transport. Thank you. Bastard gonna live? Eh, guys like this usually do. Any idea why he brought you up here? It was pretty clear when he was dragging me to the edge of the cliff before dex showed up. I mean, ava, any idea why he abducted you in the first place? Orders, I guess, from his boss. Who’s his boss? Did you get a name? No. But when I do, they’re gonna wish I never heard it.

[ Button clicks ] I need to talk to ava.

[ Sighs ] She seems to have become quite important in your life. I need to know that she’s okay. Austin, I have expressed my gratitude for your help at the hearing, but gratitude only goes so far. You’ve known me a long time, and I’m sure by now you understand you are in no position to make demands. It’s best to remember who’s in control here.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Kristina: I have never seen a little girl so wholeheartedly embrace her duties to keep the groom away from the bride on the wedding day. Donna was so determined. Did you see her face?

Nina: She was so cute. She — she was perfect. I mean, the whole day. The whole day was perfect. I’m just — I’m just sorry that Michael, Willow, and Wiley had to leave so suddenly after the ceremony because Michael had business back in Port Charles.

Yeah. That’s Michael. He’s always working on something.

Right?

Mommy and Daddy missed you so much, Amelia.

Wiley: You missed the wedding because you’re still a baby, but it was fun. Now Grandma Nina is our grandma twice.

What do you mean?

Well, she was already our grandma before the wedding. Now she’s our grandma again because she married Grandpa.

Carly: Ohh! Oh! This is such a nice surprise.

Sam: I know. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi. So, are you gonna meet Dante here for dinner?

Sam: No, he’s at — he’s at work. How’s Drew doing?

Carly: He’s out of ICU, so, you know, he’s doing better.

Sam: That’s good. He doesn’t want Scout to visit him at the hospital, but she misses him.

Carly: Yeah, he really wants to see her, too, but not like this.

Sam: I know. It was bad.

Carly: Why don’t you take a seat? I’ll get you a menu.

Sam: You know what? I’m not here for food. I’m actually here for you.

Carly: For me?

Sam: Yes. Surprise, surprise. Yeah. I haven’t seen you much in the past couple of weeks, and I just wanted to see how you were doing. Carly, I know what’s going on.

Carly: What do you mean?

Sam: Dante told me that Sonny and Nina eloped in Puerto Rico.

Carly: Oh, that. [ Exhales sharply ]

Sam: Yeah. That. Come on, Carly. This can’t be easy on you. How are you doing? Are you okay?

Carly: No. I’m not.

Lucy: It will give you a whole new level of exposure. With the relaunch of the Deceptor and a new line of our anti-aging gels… of course not for you. Your skin is flawless.

Maxie: Oh, it’s — it’s absolutely perfect. Just gorgeous. But we also have this new lip liner that is so lush. It has vitamin c in it. And you — you could actually name the colors. Oh! And I forgot — in development, we have this wonderful mascara, waterproof, but, really, you can actually swim in it. It’s a very exciting time at Deception.

Blaze: And all products are cruelty-free?

Lucy: Oh, of course. Cruelty-free. Of course. I love animals. I had a duck.

Blaze: Really?

Lucy: Sigmund. Anyway, uh, what do you think?

Blaze: Uh, I have to say, I’m flattered, even if I’m a bit surprised.

Lucy: So…is that a yes? I mean, of course, don’t want to toot my own horn, but… oh.

Maxie: Watch out, Blaze. Here comes some tooting.

Lucy: Okay! All I’m saying is that… my instincts are never, ever wrong. And my instincts are yelling at the top of their lungs to say you, Blaze, are a perfect fit to be the new Face of Deception.

Sasha: Yes, I understand. I’ll be ready. Yes. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Cody: Hi, Sasha. What’s, uh, with all the boxes? You planning on leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: Yes.

Cody: I don’t understand. You just got your life back and you’re gonna walk away from it?

Blaze: Deception generated a lot of negative publicity. I’m concerned about attaching myself to that legacy.

Sasha does have a troubled past, but there were some extenuating circumstances.

Blaze: Of course. I’m sorry for what she went through.

Yes, of course. Um, so are we. But, you know, just because we are looking for the new Face of Deception doesn’t reflect on Sasha at all. You know, come to think of it, any classic cosmetic companies, a lot of them change spokesmodels often.

True. Look at Fusion. They change theirs more than RuPaul changes wigs.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. So it’s time for Deception to go in a new direction.

Right. And we really do think you are the perfect fit. I mean, because you already are a known brand through your music. Yeah, you’d be working with a successful company in the cosmetics industry, and we would get access to your celebrity and your millions of fans who love your music.

[ Chuckles ] So…what do you say?

Blaze: Thank you, both of you. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Ah. Well, you know, I don’t mean to be pushy at all, but we do need to know by the end of the week.

Blaze: Not a problem. I’ll have my manager contact you by the end of the week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a plane to catch.

Lucy: Okay. I think that went well.

Maxie: But don’t you think we’re kind of putting the cart before the horse here?

Lucy: How so?

Maxie: Don’t you think we should have given Sasha some warning before we offered her job to somebody else?

Sasha: Cody, please come in. I’m really glad you stopped by.

Cody: Really? Because it sure looks like you were planning on leaving town without saying goodbye to me.

Sasha: I’m sorry. I, um, got caught up in packing once I decided to go.

Cody: But why are you leaving?

Sasha: Because everywhere I turn in this town reminds me of a mistake that I made or a person who I let take advantage of me. It’s too painful for me to live in Port Charles. I worry that if I stay here, I might get dragged back down again. I feel like I — I need to start over someplace new.

Cody: Where are you going?

Sasha: Austin.

Cody: Austin, Texas? No people there? Friends or family?

Sasha: No. I will meet people. I’ll make friends.

Cody: Make friends like — friends like Nina, Maxie? And Michael and Willow? Friends like me?

Sam: Okay. I’m sorry. I probably shouldn’t have brought up Sonny’s wedding. I’m sure it’s, like, a rough — rough subject for you.

Carly: I’m okay. And I’m not okay. I mean, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t moved past Sonny. Because I have. You know, I’m with Drew. And he makes me so happy. And my life is good, and it’s only gonna get better when Drew is out of prison. But I can’t say that Sonny marrying Nina doesn’t… it stinks.

Sasha: I don’t think I’ll ever meet anyone like you ever again.

Cody: Yeah. Of course not. [ Chuckles ] So why are you leaving town?

Sasha: Because I’m lost. Ever since I came to Port Charles, it’s been one mistake after another, starting with working with Valentin to convince Nina that I was her long-lost daughter. And then I got involved with Cyrus Renault, who got me hooked on drugs. Finally, I trusted Gladys, who took advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable. Honestly, Cody, I don’t know why I keep making these epic mistakes. I’m putting my trust in all the wrong people.

Cody: I think I might know.

Lucy: Come on. Sasha did not deserve any of those bad things that happened to her. We know that. And even if we replace her as the Face of Deception, she’s still gonna be a shareholder. She’s still a partner in the company. It’s just that, for the good of Deception, we need a fresh face, really, one that the customers don’t associate with all those… public meltdowns. And I think Blaze is perfect to take us in that completely different direction. And, ultimately, that is gonna benefit Sasha, too.

Maxie: Lucy, from a business perspective, I totally get where you’re coming from. I just wish there was another way!

Lucy:I know!

Scott: Another way to what?

Hello there.

Hey.

Martin: Hey. Well, what’s with the long faces? Come on, ladies. What’s going on?

Deception business.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Maxie: [ Sighs ] I got an S.O.S. From my mom. And she’s watching my kids. So I’ll call her. I’ll be right back.

Okay.

What is all that about?

Lucy: Sometimes the beauty business is anything but glamorous.

Kristina: Dad, I know it was your idea to elope, but what was it? What wedding-planning moment pushed you over the edge? Was it the thought of a huge, 100-plus-person wedding or was it just that you didn’t want to wait a year to be husband and wife?

Sonny: I always wanted Nina to have the wedding she wanted to have, whatever made her happy. Then I started thinking, why do we have to have a special event? Why can’t we just go to my island, right? Because I love my island. Always loved my island. Got a staff there. They’ll take care of everything.

Kristina: And you? How hard did my father have to persuade you to give up the wedding you were planning — all the guests and everything — and elope?

Nina: Oh, I caved in less than a minute.

[ Laughter ]

Michael: Didn’t expect Amelia to fall asleep so fast. I thought she’d want to stay up with us since we’ve been gone.

Willow: Yeah.

Michael: And Wiley. He’s so content playing in his room. He loves that toy jet.

Willow: I can’t believe he’s already asking to fly back to Grandma and Grandpa’s island tomorrow.

Michael: Yeah. We’ll see what happens after I finish my business.

Willow: And, of course, I’m happy to be home and be back with Amelia, but I am sorry we had to leave Puerto Rico early. It’s just so peaceful and beautiful there. And I am disappointed we didn’t get to take Wiley to the ocean. I think he would have loved walking on the beach.

Michael: Yeah. I promise you we’ll — we’ll go back soon again, okay?

Willow: Well, maybe we can coordinate with Sonny and Nina and make it another family trip.

Kristina: Our dad first pitched the idea of eloping, it took me a second, but then I thought, why not? You know? It seems very intimate. And I said yes.

Nina: And then I saw you and Michael and Willow and Wiley and donna. And I was blindsided, but in the best possible way.

Kristina: Ohh. This was an awesome surprise. Gotta hand it to you, Dad. I mean, not just having me show up, obviously, but getting Carly’s permission to have donna there. And Michael and Willow and Wiley? Some epic powers of persuasion, Pops.

Sonny: I do what I can.

Kristina: You know, you never gave up on Michael, no matter how long he gave you the cold shoulder.

Sonny: Well, Michael, you know, had a lot of anger, but he let go of it and h-he left the decision up to Willow whether he was gonna come to the wedding.

Nina: And my daughter chose to come to our wedding, which is a turning point for Willow and me. And I owe it all to you.

Michael: I promise you, Willow. I will bring you and the kids back to the island. And if Sonny and Nina want to join us, then that’s great. I really want to show you and Wiley around the island. I think Amelia’s still a little too young to really appreciate it yet.

Willow: Well, it’ll still be nice to have her there with us. I love it when the family’s all together.

Michael: Yeah. Me too. I remember going there so frequently as a kid. I mean, those are some of the happiest times we had as a family when I was growing up.

Willow: And now you want to pass on that tradition to your own children.

Michael: I do. [ Sighs ] Okay. Wish I could stay, but I really got to get to this meeting.

Willow: Yeah, I would hope you do. Otherwise, Wiley and I could be on a beach in Puerto Rico.

Michael: Yeah. I know.

Willow: You never did say who you needed to meet with.

Michael: Uh, just some new information fell into my lap, and I just have to confirm it before I can take the next step. That’s all.

Willow: Sounds important.

Michael: Well, if it’s what I think it is, then, um, yeah, it could be a real game-changer.

Lucy: I just really feel that it’s important for Deception to go now in a different direction. Especially since the horrible lawsuit has been settled, it’s time for a fresh start.

Martin: Uh, about that, Lucy. I can’t tell you how sorry I am. I mean, I — I know how much it pained you to give up 51% of your company, especially to a person like Tracy Quartermaine.

Okay, let’s not go with that negative aspect.

Lucy: Ugh! I can’t help it. It’s a horrible, awful, bitter pill to swallow, though. And I know I need to move on, but I just — I can’t. I’m having a really hard time with this. I don’t know how. It’s just I know that I will never, ever, ever forgive or forget Tracy. I have to have faith in karma, though, don’t I, that one day Tracy will get exactly what she deserves. And if I have a chance to push that happening right away through karma, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m just gonna get karma to move her on along.

Well, in the meantime, what do you say you and I move to my hotel suite where we can engage in a little bit of R&R? You know, room service and relaxation.

Lucy: Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Martin: Perfect timing.

Lucy: Do you have — do you have to get that?

Martin: Yeah. Uh, forgive me. Just a sec. Martin Grey.

Michael: Martin, it’s Michael Corinthos. I need to see you in my office at Aurora right away.

Martin: Really? Well, it just so happens I’m in the middle of something.

Michael: Well, it’s in your best interest. I recently discovered that you made a serious mistake, and I’m gonna give you exactly one chance to make things right.

Carly: It’s now or never. Thank you so much for checking on me. I really appreciate it.

Sam: But you have so much on your plate.

Carly: No. I heard what happened with Sasha. I can’t believe what Gladys did to her! I never trusted that woman, ever!

Sam: Yeah, well, Sasha is doing as well as can be expected.

Carly: Well, she’s been through hell. And I’ve been in Ferncliff. It’s your worst nightmare.

Sam: No. I-I know. And the thought of Gladys taking advantage of Sasha’s guardianship is disgusting.

Carly: Yeah. I’m glad Sonny ran her out of town.

Sam: She’s lucky that’s all Sonny did to her. And I’m sure he made it very clear that she can never step foot in Port Charles again, let alone ever try to come near Sasha. She better not. I mean, there’s no reason for Gladys Corbin to ever come back to Port Charles. Sasha is finally free of Gladys. Thank God.

Cody: Sasha, I really think you’re being too hard on yourself. Look. You’re human. Humans make mistakes. Hundreds, if not, I mean, thousands a year. If we didn’t… I mean, yeah, life would be perfect. It’d also be completely boring. Trust me. I know what I’m talking about. I’m pretty much the king of messing up. I have made monumental, ginormous mistakes that were selfish… and…stupid. And that’s just since I parachuted into town. Trust me, if there’s a mistake to be made, I made it, ’cause I made them all.

Sasha: Name one.

Cody: One? Okay. Um, not going after Gladys sooner.

Sasha: That does not count. You were protecting me.

Cody: Okay. Alright. How about me working for Selina Wu? Not exactly a smart decision, is it?

Sasha: You tried to make some extra money. Yeah, it’s not the best person to get involved with, but, still, you — you were trying to do a job.

Cody: Wow. You are just determined to see the best in me, aren’t you?

Sasha: That’s because I owe a lot to you, Cody. And I really wish that you would see yourself the way that I do. Honestly, so far, you haven’t mentioned any mistakes that are really all that bad.

Cody: Okay, then. Here’s a doozy. How about the fact that my biological dad is actually here in Port Charles… and I lied to him and convinced him that I’m not actually his son?

Sasha: Cody, I don’t understand. If your dad lives here in town, why would you lie about it?

Cody: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. ‘Cause I’m an idiot?

Sasha: Don’t say that.

Cody: Well, I-I don’t know how else to describe my decision. When the — the DNA results came back at G.H., I lied right to his face while I was holding in my hands the test results that said that Mac Scorpio is my biological father.

Sasha: The police commissioner Mac Scorpio?

Cody: That’s the one.

Sasha: Maxie’s stepfather?

Cody: Same guy.

Sasha: How?

Cody: It’s a — it’s a long story, but, essentially, Mac never knew that my mother was pregnant with me.

Sasha: Okay. But why not tell him now?

Cody: Leopold Taub. My mother’s late husband. I thought that if I could prove that I was his son, I could possibly get a lot of money. It’s not important now, but it had something to do with the WSB destroying the Ice Princess necklace, which belonged to Taub.

Sasha: So that’s it? You lied about Mac not being your dad because of money?

Cody: Well, no, that’s — that’s not the only reason.

Sasha: Then why? I mean, I don’t know Mac all that well, but… but all Maxie ever does is talk about what a great guy he is and how he’s always been a father figure to her, even though he’s not her biological dad.

Cody: Yeah. I-I know. And, see, that’s — that’s the thing, Sasha. In what world does a grifter like me deserve having a great dad? I mean, Mac — he’s honest. He’s loyal. He’s hardworking. He’s selfless. Not to mention he’s a cop. Why would he want a troublemaker like me as his son? The reality is…. I don’t deserve to have him as a father.

Maxie: Where’s Martin?

Lucy: Oh, uh, well, you know my Marty. He always has a full plate. And he got an important business call and had to dash.

Maxie: Well, speaking of important business, let’s get back to the Face of Deception.

Lucy: Okay, but I thought that it was all settled. I mean, if Blaze gives us the thumbs-up, then we do replace Sasha, but she still retains all her shares, which is a win-win for everybody.

Maxie: Maybe not.

Lucy: Uh… and what’s the problem?

Maxie: Did you forget about Tracy?

Lucy: Ooh, if only I could.

Maxie: Lucy, whether we like it or not, Tracy owns the majority of Deception. This is kind of a big business decision, so I think we need to run it by her.

Lucy: I am not going to bow to that woman. She is certainly not the boss of me. I mean, come on. She may have 51% of our company and 1% of my precious ELQ… but that doesn’t mean that I have to ask her permission to make a sound business decision. I don’t. Because we need to take Deception into a new direction, starting with a fresh, new face.

Maxie: You’re kind of acting like this is a done deal, and Blaze has not signed a contract yet.

Lucy: She said she wants to think about it. So, I really do have a good feeling about this.

Maxie: You know who’s not gonna have a good feeling about this? Sasha. I think we should tell her. She’s not only our business partner, but she’s our friend. Telling her is the right thing to do.

Blaze: Fancy meeting you here.

Kristina: Blaze? What in the world are you doing here?

Willow: Here you go, honey.

Wiley: Why didn’t Grandpa and Grandma fly home with us?

Willow: Well, we had to come back early because your daddy had a work emergency. But Grandma Nina and Grandpa Sonny stayed behind because they’re now on their honeymoon.

Wiley: What’s that?

Willow: It’s a vacation you take after you get married.

Wiley: I don’t get it. Why do you need a vacation after you get married? Does it make you that tired?

Nina: It’s beautiful here. I can see why you love it so much. It’s a perfect place to have a wedding and to spend our honeymoon.

Sonny: Yeah, I love it here. I mean, I… it’s always been like… my home away from home.

Nina: Well, thank you for sharing it with me.

Sonny: I mean, you’re my wife now. We’re gonna share everything. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad. We’re gonna share it all.

Martin: I do not enjoy being summoned… and I like being threatened even less, so unless you know something I don’t, I have no business here with you or Aurora.

Michael: Well, thank you for coming, Martin, and I can assure you, I didn’t imply any threat. I was just telling you the truth.

Martin: About what?

Michael: That you made a terrible mistake when you turned my mother and Drew Cain in to the SEC for insider trading.

Sasha: I can’t believe that you would say something like that. Listen to me. Any man would be so proud to call you their son, including Mac Scorpio.

Cody: I — [ Scoffs ]

Sasha: Look at what you did for me. And that was after I stabbed you.

Cody: Sasha, there were extenuating circumstances. You didn’t think you were stabbing me. You thought you were stabbing Cyrus Renault. And that’s just because Gladys and that unethical Dr. Montague were drugging you.

Sasha: It doesn’t matter. You sacrificed your freedom to help me. You weren’t afraid to go after Dr. Montague. What you did was so incredibly brave.

Cody: No. No, Sasha, you — you were the brave one. You went back into that hellhole where they were drugging you against your will. He was basically torturing you. And you did all that just to stop Montague.

Sasha: You call it brave. I call it desperate. Putting Montague behind bars and freeing myself from Gladys were just things that I needed to do in order to get my life back if I was ever gonna have one. Now that I do… I need to start from scratch.

Cody: Someplace else?

Sonny: Yes. I was gonna ask you about this turquoise bracelet. Is there some significance? ‘Cause I have never seen you wear that.

Nina: Ah.

Willow: This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it.

Nina: It’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you.

Willow: So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday. And according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

Nina: I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life.

Nina: You’re right. You haven’t seen it. Because it’s brand-new, and it’s incredibly significant, Sonny, because… it was a gift from my daughter.

Martin: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Michael: Is that so?

Martin: And even if I did, this isn’t a courtroom, and you’re certainly not a judge, so if you’ll forgive me, I am under zero obligation to answer your allegation.

Michael: You don’t need to tap-dance around the issue here, Martin. I already know you’re the one who contacted the SEC and suggested that they investigate Drew and my mom for insider trading.

Martin: Regardless of whoever made the phone call, the simple fact is Mr. Cain was found guilty. Now, as to why he chose to be the fall guy for your mother, I have no idea. I mean, let’s be honest. She was the real guilty party. If anything, she’s the one who should be in prison.

Michael: My mom made a mistake. She was just trying to help me and Drew. But, you see, the merger between ELQ and Aurora, it never happened. My mom didn’t make any money. Hell, she lost her half of The Metro Court. See, now, most cases similar to my mom’s, the SEC would have just walked away. But this… see, there was someone working behind this case, pushing them to go forward. See, Martin, I know it wasn’t your idea to contact the sec. You were just working on your client’s behalf. Now, your client used you to inflict maximum damage on my family — to my mother, Drew’s daughter, my siblings, my uncle. Your actions caused a lot of pain, a lot of devastation for a lot of people. That’s why I called you here, Martin. Because I want to give you a chance. I’m giving you a chance… to save yourself. I’m giving you a chance to make amends.

Willow: And for dessert, chocolate pudding. One of your favorites.

Wiley: Thanks, mommy. [ Chuckles ] Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina should have had chocolate pudding at the wedding.

Willow: I’m so glad you had such a good time at the wedding.

Wiley: It was really fun. I love Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina so much.

Willow: I’m happy to hear that.

Wiley: You love them, too, right, Mommy?

Willow: I love our whole family.

Kristina: You are here, right? I only had two glasses of champagne — three now — at my dad’s wedding, so I know I’m not hallucinating.

Blaze: It’s me.

Kristina: Well, how are you even in Puerto Rico? When we were texting earlier, all you said was we should hang out when I get back to Port Charles. Turns out we didn’t have to wait that long to see each other again.

[ Chuckles ]

Carly: Hey.

Sam: Yeah.

Carly: Sam, when you see Sasha, will you just give her my best, please, and tell her if she needs anything, I’m here for her?

Sam: Yeah, I’m — I’m actually gonna get out of your — your hair. I just — I wanted to check in on my friend.

Carly: I’m glad you did. And look. I want you to know that even though Sonny marrying Nina stings, I love Drew. I adore him. And I’m devoted to him. And I’m never gonna forget the sacrifice he made for me. And it’s really important to me that you believe that.

Sam: I do. I do. And I know.

Carly: Okay. See ya.

Cody: Okay. Well… when are you leaving?

Sasha: The movers will be here tomorrow morning.

Cody: Wow. Um, look, Sasha, I — I totally understand you wanting to get a fresh start, but this — does it really have to be away from Port Charles? I mean, are you absolutely sure about that?

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Hi! What’s up with the boxes?

Cody: Sasha’s leaving town.

Maxie: You’re leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: I’m moving to Austin.

Maxie: What’s in Texas?

Cody: Nothing. And no one. That’s the point.

Sasha: I need a fresh start. Someplace that doesn’t hold painful memories. Every time I go to G.H., all I think about is losing my sweet Liam. And whenever I go to Charlie’s pub, I-I force a smile and I pretend to be happy. I might look happy, but… I can’t erase the images from my head. Brando laying on the ground and the — the rain washing away the blood from his chest. I mean, I can still hear myself screaming.

Maxie: My heart aches for you, Sasha, because I know exactly how you feel. When Nathan died, I wanted to run away. I wanted to be anywhere but here. And then I realized what is here. My friends and family who love me.

Sasha: Maxie, please. Don’t try to talk me out of it. I’ve made up my mind.

Maxie: I’m not trying to convince you to stay. I just want you to know that I understand the impulse to leave. You have to do what’s best for you.

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Honestly, Maxie, I don’t know what’s best for me. These past couple of months, I feel like I have been just living outside of myself, looking down, seeing this broken person locked in a room, curled up in a ball, unable to function because of the drugs that monster Montague forced on me.

Maxie: Maybe you were trying to detach yourself from the horrors of that place.

Sasha: Yeah. Maybe. But now I can see clearly again, and all I know is that I — I have to get away.

Maxie: Okay. Of course. I will support your decision, whatever that is. I do want you to know that Deception will not be the same without you.

Sasha: Look, I really hope that this does not make things difficult for you and Lucy. I am so sorry that — the last thing I want to do is —

Maxie: No, no. You have nothing to be sorry about.

Sasha: Thank you, Maxie. I’m so glad that you stopped by. Why did you stop by?

Maxie: I just missed my friend.

Kristina: Wait. But you didn’t come here just to see me, right?

Blaze: No.

Kristina: Okay.

Blaze: [ Laughs ] My abuela lives in Puerto Rico. That’s why I’m here. She hates to fly, so I visit her a lot. We’re really close.

Kristina: Aww. That’s sweet.

Blaze: Yeah. She’s great. She actually used to work at the hotel.

Kristina: Really?

Blaze: Yeah. Your dad owns the property, right?

Kristina: Yeah.

Blaze: I’m staying there.

Kristina: This is crazy. What a small world. But wait. How did you wind up here in the chapel?

Blaze: I decided to light a candle for my abuela and say a prayer. And then I walk in, and there you are.

Kristina: Here I am.

[ Both laugh ]

Blaze: It must be fate.

Kristina: It could be.

Nina: Look! A shooting star!

Sonny: Well, you know what you’re supposed to do when you see a shooting star, right?

Nina: Hmm?

Sonny: You’re supposed to make a wish.

Nina: Well, how am I supposed to make a wish when you have given me everything that I have ever wanted? I’m your wife now. You’re my husband. I love you so much.

Sonny: I love you, too. And you have changed my life in ways that I’m just beginning to understand.

Nina: Happy wedding day, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Happy wedding day, Mrs. Corinthos.

Willow: Congratulations.

Nina: Thank you, Willow. You know, it means so much that you are here.

Martin: If I was acting on behalf of a client — and that is a big if — my actions would be covered by attorney-client privilege, which means I couldn’t possibly discuss it.

Michael: Hey. Look. Of course. I get that. I understand. I mean, what kind of attorney would you be if you broke that trust?

Martin: Good. I’m glad we understand each other.

Michael: Of course, though, I would have to then refer this issue to Sonny, and he’d handle it, you know, his way.

Martin: I s-see no reason to involve Mr. Corinthos. I mean, even if he came to me with the same question, the same privilege would still exist.

Michael: You see, that’s where you and I disagree. Because your client’s actions harmed Sonny’s family. Your client lied to him and continues to lie to him. Now, I think that Sonny needs to know that, don’t you? You see, Sonny — he doesn’t know that you’re involved. It can remain that way, provided you tell me the name of the person who’s actually responsible.

Martin: If I do that, it could ruin my reputation as a lawyer.

Michael: Martin, I already know that she’s the one. I just need you to confirm it. That or, you know, you can tell Sonny in probably much less comfortable circumstances.

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Michael: Thank you, Martin. You can go now.

Martin: What are you gonna do?

Michael: I appreciate you meeting with me.

[ Door closes ]

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Recap written by Suzanne

Lucy and Maxie try to convince Blaze to be the new Face of Deception, replacing Sasha. Blaze asks some questions and then promises to think about it. She has a plane to catch. Maxie thinks they should be honest with Sasha about replacing her; she also thinks they should consult Tracy about having Blaze be the new spokeswoman. Lucy is still annoyed about Tracy stealing controlling interest of her company.

Kristina chats with Sonny and Nina about the wedding. Blaze shows up unexpectedly on Sonny’s island to visit her grandmother, which surprises Kristina.

Michael, Willow and Wiley are back at home, with Amelia. Willow hopes they can go back to the island for a visit soon. Michael agrees. He summons Martin to his office and tells him that he needs to verify who turned in Carly and Drew to the SEC. After Michael threatens to sic Sonny on him, Martin caves and admits that it was Nina. Michael records him saying that. Meanwhile, back at the island, Sonny and Nina are blissfully happy. Nina tells him about Willow giving her the bracelet.

Sam visits Carly at Kelly’s to see how she’s doing. It was hard for Carly to hear that Sonny and Nina eloped, but she’s doing OK. She’s committed to Drew. They hug.

Cody is shocked when he drops by to visit Sasha and finds her packing to leave town. She can’t take all of the bad memories she has of Port Charles. He tries to talk her into staying, even mentioning that he’s Mac’s real son, but he hasn’t owned up to it yet (to illustrate mistakes he’s made). It’s clear that Sasha admires Cody. Maxie drops by, and Cody storms out in a huff. Maxie sympathizes but doesn’t mention to Sasha about getting a new Face of Deception.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ]

[ Panting ] Hang on a second.

[ Exhaling sharply ] Hey. Hey, aunt stella. Is this a bad time? No, not at all, if you don’t mind waiting for me to finish another set. Oh, not at all. Come on in.

[ Exhaling heavily ] Nobody else here? No, just me. You think they shouldn’t have left me alone? Did I say that? No. I know you’ve been on your own for a while now, and you’re doing just fine.

[ Grunts ] Keeping track of me, huh? Always have. I’m not gonna change now.

[ Chuckles ] Working hard there. Yeah, well, you know — very impressive. Just trying to keep it all together. Yeah, well, you’re doing better than keeping it all together. I am very proud of you, curtis. Thank you, auntie. You know, all these exercises — in fact, everything I do — it’s for trina and portia… and marshall. How’s that? Oh, you know, uh… every morning there’s a part of me that just — just doesn’t even want to get out of bed. You know? And then I think about my family. They need me. And I will not let them down.

[ Knock on door ] I’ll get it. I’ll get it. What do you want? I heard a rumor going around. Yeah, the buzz is totally positive. No, no, no, I have no idea what you’re talking about, dr. Ashford. Aw, come on, spill, spill. No, no, no, no, no, I don’t want to talk about it yet. I don’t want to talk about it yet, not until I get a chance to tell curtis. And I want to tell him in person. He’s gonna be so hurt if he finds out that everyone at gh knew before he did. So that’s why I’m trying to sneak out of here — so I can see him. He’s going to be thrilled. Can I help you? Hi, giles. You probably don’t remember me, but I’m josslyn jacks. I’m avery’s older sister. Of course. What can I do for you, ms. Jacks? I’m looking for ava. She never picked avery up from the nanny last night. Please come in.

[ Door buzzes ] Another visitor during off hours? Hello, cyrus. Austin: Medically speaking, cyrus renault is still recovering from his heart attack, a heart attack that has done irreparable damage to his heart and left him extremely weak. I do not believe that he is physically a threat to anybody. ‘Cause he’s weak, yeah. Weak, like a great white shark is weak. Austin: I have done exactly what you’ve asked me to do. Now you let ava go. Mason: Oh, you know by now. Neither one of us is calling the shots.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. I’m sorry to bother you, dr. Gatlin-holt. Have you seen ava jerome?

[ “Bridal chorus” plays ]

Gracias por venir a todos.

Bienvenidos. Welcome, everyone. We have been blessed with a beautiful day to witness the joining in matrimony of michael “sonny” corinthos and nina reeves. This is a joyful occasion. And a solemn one. Marriage, as the traditional ceremony, is an honorable one, not to be entered into lightly, but a pledge between two people to honor, support, and love one another for the rest of your lives. Sonny, nina? Is that a pledge you are willing to make? We are. Yeah, we are. I’m here to see my friend.

[ Scoffs ] You don’t have any friends here. And no way are you buying any with that gift basket. Curtis: It’s okay, aunt stella. Selina is A… business associate. Uh-huh. By all means.

[ Speaks chinese ] Your aunt is very protective. I admire that in family. Excuse me. Selina, what are you doing here? You’ve been back home for a while now. I thought I would give you some time to get accustomed to your new life. That was considerate. I hope now you’ve come to your senses and are ready to sell me the savoy. What an unexpected and wonderful surprise. I didn’t know you were back from your trip. We just got back. And you chose to come and see me. I’m — I’m touched. You cut your hair and you shaved and…

[ Sighs ] You know, since I found my true calling, I didn’t feel the need to hide behind appearances.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. I see. Well, uh, you look great. So, tell me — how are you feeling? Our brother told you about my little medical problem. I don’t know that I would call a heart attack a little medical problem. And I am very glad that marty told me. Did he also tell you that it was your aura that pulled me through in my darkest hour? It was drew cain who saved your life. Without the will to live, his cpr might not have been effective. But he is a good man. Yes, he is. He’s a very good man. That’s why it’s such a shame that he’s in here with… with men like me.

[ Chuckles ] I get the feeling that checking on my health isn’t the only reason you’re here. Um, I heard about your application for early release. I see. So, are you here as my sister or as the mayor? I’m also concerned about ms. Jerome’s whereabouts. So she hasn’t been here? She was home when I left, but that was the night before last. She didn’t mention any plans to be away, but when I came to work yesterday, she wasn’t here. She never came home. So, no maid, no housekeeper has seen her? No one on the staff has seen or heard from her. But I did find a broken martini glass on the floor here. Could have been an accident. Perhaps she’s staying with her friend ms. Reeves? No. No, nina’s in puerto rico getting married. Dr. Gatlin-holt’s been a frequent guest recently. We were all under the impression he and ms. Jerome might be close. Recently? No, I — no, I haven’t — I haven’t seen ava. Do you happen to remember the last time you saw or heard from her? Two or three days ago. What, uh… yeah, why are you asking me this? She hasn’t been to her art gallery, and no one has seen or heard from her. You work for sonny corinthos. Am I right about that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, a couple of days ago, ava mentioned that she was thinking about maybe taking a trip to new york. She said there was an artist that she was interested in signing. That could be very helpful. Thank you for your time. No problem. Ugh!

[ Gasping ] Sonny has a daughter with ava jerome. So he cares about her. If he finds out you had something to do with hurting avery’s mother, I’ll be back. And I won’t be asking questions.

[ Gasping, groaning ]

[ Panting ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Joss? Hey. I think I found something. Minister caballero: It’s my understanding that you have elected to say your own vows, hmm? I guess you want me to go first? Yeah.

[ Both laugh ] Um… well, I’ve been — been spending all morning writing my vows. And they’re in my pocket. But when I looked in your eyes, I felt like I didn’t need to write my vows ’cause… I can always speak from my heart to you. I want to — I want to thank you for trusting me, for loving me, and for seeing the better man in me than… I ever saw in myself. I appreciate your kindness and your strength and your willingness to just fight for our love… yeah. …Even though… everybody was against us. And when we doubted whether we should be together, we did everything we could to get through that, and here we are. And I’m — I’m convinced more now that we belong together because how I feel right now, in the moment, how I always feel with you, you make me secure. I know you love me. And I love you that much more. And I always will. Curtis, just hear me out. I will keep the entire staff of the savoy, and the name of the club will remain. You and your entire family will have vip memberships for life. And I will increase my original offer to twice what you paid for the club. That’s an extremely generous offer. I agree. So, what do you say? Why are you determined to buy my club? Why not start your own, find a new location at half the price? Good question. In case you’re wondering, I have no idea how the judge is going to rule. I haven’t heard anything yet. Now that you’re back, will you oppose my release? You know, you look just as strong and healthy as the day you got in here. But that said, I’m not a doctor. And as the mayor, I don’t interfere in judicial decisions. I suppose putting in a good word for your brother would be out of the question. Yes. Did marty also tell you that I gave away all my money? Good afternoon. Oh, hey, hey. This is giles, ava’s butler, and he says ava hasn’t been home since the night before last and that nobody on the staff has seen or heard from her. Okay. You said you found something. Yes. Her cellphone and this lollipop. The cellphone was under the coffee table. The lollipop was kind of just sticking out of the couch. And giles found a broken martini glass on the floor. Miss avery must have dropped the lollipop last time she was here. No, no. This isn’t avery’S. How do you know? Because it’s grape and avery hates grape. So somebody else had to have been here. And ava would have never left her cellphone in case avery needed to get in touch with her. I saw cameras everywhere as I walked up to the house. There have to be more, right? Yes. I need to see the footage from the minute you left ava. To be honest, I never imagined that I would be here right now with you. It’s actually the last thing that I ever expected or wanted. And I fought it for a very long time. I kept telling myself that we would never work. And as I was doing that, my heart has kept falling deeper and deeper in love with you. And I couldn’t fight my heart anymore, could I? Or you. Your charm, your humor, your compassion, your courage, your loyalty, your dance moves. I mean, what more could a person ask for in someone they love? And then I saw you parent your children… how you fiercely love, how you are willing to fight for them, for their protection. I’ve always wanted a family, since I was a little girl. My daughter is finally part of my life. And the two of us are part of your family. You have given me so much. You have given me a family. And I want to give you something. I am gonna surround you with love for your entire life. I promise you that. And we can leave all our mistakes in the past. I will walk with you, hand in hand, right beside you, loving you… for the rest of your life.

I don’t have the time or theinclination to open a new club. It’s too much work, and I have a busy schedule. The savoy is already established. That’s why I’ll be paying you top dollar for it. Did you hear how she made it sound like it’s a done deal? Good afternoon, dr. Robinson.

[ Door closes ] Portia: Oh. Hello. You got here just in time. Ms. Wu brought us a basket filled with treats. Why don’t you have a seat, portia, and I’ll make us some tea so we can all get to know each other better. What kind of tea would you like, ms. Wu? That’s kind of you, but I have another appointment. Oh, that’s just too bad. Maybe another time, then.

[ Speaks chinese ] I’ll be in touch. Thanks for the basket. Amen. Giles: You can see the front entrance is well covered by several cameras. Alright. There you are leaving. And this is the night before last? Yes, sir. And she was alone when you left? Yes, sir. Feel free to examine the rest of the footage. I must check on a delivery. Please help ms. Jerome. Dex: There. Someone’s coming in. Yeah, I see him, but I can’t see his face. He’s wearing a hood. Around 20 minutes later… oh! Okay. There’s ava. She’s with him. I just — [ Sighs ] I can’t tell if her hands are tied or if she’s just walking super close to him. Here, let’s check the dock camera around that time. He didn’t use the launch. Well, he would still have to go back to port charles, no? Wait. Right there. Right there. He has his own boat. That’s what they left on. But if we want to see where they came ashore, we need to see the harbor security cameras and traffic cameras from that time. We can’t do that without going to the cops. Oh, there’s another way. Spinelli: Who knocks? Spinelli, it’s josslyn. You’re watching us through the security camera. Greetings, clever girl. And friend. What brings you to my door? Yeah, so I, uh —

[ Clears throat ] I examined the patient right after you, and I have to say, your prognosis was spot on.

[ Clears throat ] It was very impressive. Excuse me. Thank you. Uh, doctor, are you alright? Uh, yeah, I’m fine. I, uh — I went to a concert last night, and I was — I was vocally very enthusiastic. Ah. What was the band?

[ Door opens ] Mason: So — oh. Sorry. My cousin here needed to see me. I have seen so much suffering in here. I felt my money could do more good trying to help these poor souls. Mm-hmm. Yes, marty did mention to me that you’d given some of your money to a recidivism organization. Not “some” of my money. Every dime.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh, you don’t believe that? Well, I-I guess we’ll see, won’t we, uh, if you are granted your early release. How little faith you have in your brother. They were ill-gotten gains. I have come to realize and appreciate that. I hope so, cyrus. You don’t seem to doubt the generosity of your friend sonny corinthos when he gives away his dirty money. Your vows were so clearly from the heart. Now, please repeat after me. “I, sonny, take you, nina…” I, sonny, take you, nina… I, nina, take you, sonny… …to be my wife, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer… …in sickness and in health, forsaking all others… …till death do us part. …Till death do us part.

[ Laughs ] Oh!

[ Laughs ] With this ring, I thee wed. With this ring, I thee wed.

Having made your vows, each to the other in the presence of god and these witnesses, you are now husband and wife.

[ Chuckles ] What god has joined let no one put asunder. I think you know what happens next.

[ Laughter ] You’re supposed to kiss!

[ Laughter ] What was that about? That woman was trying to — selina, uh, came to talk business, but, honey, what are you doing here in the middle of the day? Oh! Oh, well, I wanted to tell you something in person, but I wanted it to be official. Wait. For what to be official? I’ve been named co-chief of staff at general hospital.

[ Laughs ] Congratulations! That’s great, sweetheart. Whoo! It’s gonna be a lot more administrative work, meetings, a ton of e-mails, but… and you know you can handle all that. Yeah. Yeah, you’ll be great. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] And it’s gonna be a little extra money. Oh, well, as it should be for all that extra work. Thank you. They will be very lucky to have you, dr. Robinson, and I couldn’t be more proud of my intelligent, accomplished, and very gorgeous wife. Mm! Oh, honey.

[ Squeals ] Congratulations. Thank you. Sorry. We couldn’t download the footage directly from the wyndemere system, so all we have is this video that I took of the tablet we had access to. It’s pretty degraded. Okay, perhaps, but your ingenuity is impressive. Um, we also found ava’s cellphone at wyndemere, but I don’t know the pin to get in. Do you think you could break into it? I’m afraid it would take time that ava does not have. Let’s get back to what we know. The butler departed the house at 10:57 that night. At 11:18, an unidentified figure, likely male, entered the house. Now, there’s no footage from the interior, so we don’t know what happened inside, but at 11:39, the unidentified figure left through the front door with ava. They were close together. He appears to be leading her. And from her posture, it’s likely her hands were tied. They arrive at the docks at 12:03 A.M., And they leave in a single-engine outboard. That’s what we have. Well done. You’ve certainly given a briefing before. Yeah, I have. Spinelli, what we really need to know is where they docked the boat in port charles. So, do you think you could get access to the harbor security and traffic cameras? Dr. Ashford, I apologize. My cousin is unaware of hospital protocol. You could have just now interrupted a consultation with a patient. I’m sorry. I’m just a truck driver. I don’t know anything about hospital protocols. So, I hope you can forgive me, dr. Ashford. No, no problem. We’re — we’re finished. Thank you, doctor. Mm. So, you’re a truck driver? Used to be. Now I kind of do a little bit of everything. Well, it was good to see you again. You too. Do not get high and mighty with me about manners. Look, you said you needed to see me right away. What’s going on? Sonny corinthos knows. Sonny has nothing to do with the way I view you, cyrus. Oh, I am well aware of that, dear sister. Sonny and I were in the same kind of business for years, and I never thought much about him. But then I see him treated with such reverence, an honored member of the port charles community, with a respected family, when he is no better than I am. Congratulations! Welcome to the family. Aww! It’s official. Thank you so much, kristina. My turn. Come here, girl. Give me a hug. And I want you to know something, okay? Okay. Daddy always loves you. You know that, right? I love you, daddy.

[ Chuckles ] Give me another hug.

[ Chuckles ] Can I call you mama nina now? Aww!

Here you go I would love nothing more.

Congratulations. Ah. You know, your mother’s the best thing that ever happened to me. And I just want you to know that… you mean everything to her.

[ Laughing ] Congratulations. Thank you, willow. You know, it means so much that you are here.

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] Well, good job, dad. Well, congratulations, nina. Welcome to the family. Thank you.

Before it’s too late this news definitely calls for a celebration! Yes!I’m taking the two of you out to dinner tonight to celebrate. Alright. Marshall and trina, too. Well, you know what? We could actually have dinner in here tonight. You know, have some champagne. It’ll be a little bit more relaxing, right? No, mnh-mnh. Auntie’s right. This is a big deal, and we should celebrate it. Right, auntie? You said it, baby. I suppose sonny and i have a sort of friendship that I guess, uh — well, it surprises some people. But I had no idea that it upset you that much. I’m sorry. I am not upset at sonny. I suppose I just envy his life and the fact that he seems to have a much closer relationship with my sister than I do. I have known sonny for a very long time. Yes. Yeah. Look, I know it’s unlikely, but if I do get my release, perhaps you and i can build a bond even stronger than the one you have with sonny. It’s time, renault. Wish me luck. Good luck, cyrus.

[ Laughs ] Thank you so much for coming, dear sister. I hope to see you again very soon. There. That was the boat. How did you see that? It was so fast. Unique powers of observation. Okay, uh, here we are. Pier 17. Yes. So, the abductor, if that’s what he is, chose his landing spot well. You see the area around the pier? It’s all warehouses. It would be deserted at that hour, so even if ava were to call for help, she wouldn’t likely be heard. Wait. Look. He took off his hood. Can you tighten that image? Yes, of course, but the cameras are not high res. It might be a little grainy. I know that guy. That’s austin gatlin-holt’s cousin — mason. One of sonny’s guys was here, and he was asking about ava. So?

[ Sighs ] What do you mean, “so?” Nobody’s heard from her in a couple days.

[ Scoffs ] ‘Cause she’s locked in a basement somewhere. Who cares? I care. I care very much. Oh, how sweet. Cuz is in love. I’m not joking around here, mason. Don’t you hurt her. You know better than to threaten me. Isn’t it enough that she spent all this time thinking that she killed nikolas and nikolas is alive and well in — he’s fine. He’s in europe. Hey, I didn’t tell the guy to take off. And it was cyrus who wanted him kept alive in the first place. Nikolas is his nephew. Oh, forgive me. Cyrus just never struck me as the sentimental type when it came to family. Yeah, well, maybe we’re wrong about that.

[ Scoffs ] Mason, you need to convince cyrus to leave ava alone. If that guy comes back for me… put him off. No. I thought I already had. He punched me in the gut. He grabbed me. He had me in a chokehold. He said if anything happens to ava, he’s coming back for me. Looks like you got a problem, cuz.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] Oh, uh… got to take this real quick. Be right back. Wiley. Can I dance with my little girl? Yes. Hey, wiley, why don’t you ask your grandmother to dance, hmm? Want to dance?

[ Gasps ] Do I! Yes! Hey, look, I’m at a family function. I can’t talk long. So, you have the name of the person who turned drew cain in to the sec?

Now, what have you got? The sec was contacted by a lawyer named martin grey, acting on behalf of a client. Grey was just the go-between. I need the name of the person who pointed the sec to my mom and drew. Stella: Oh, let me help you with that. Oh, no. No, I got it. Hey, don’t you have to head back to the hospital, co-chief of staff?

[ Laughs ] I do, actually. Well, I’m gonna go take a shower, and I will see you tonight. I can’t wait. Alright. Portia, why don’t you come on over here and get this gift basket and take it to the hospital for the nurses to enjoy. Oh. Okay. You don’t have to do everything, portia. What? You have this wonderful, well-deserved job, and you’re making more money. Right. And the savoy is — it’s making money. Yeah, but curtis isn’t there. And in his mind, he’s not making a dime. He needs you — he needs all of us to live out our lives as normally as possible and not walk on eggshells around him. He can go out to the restaurant and have a fine time. I just was thinking maybe he would be more comfortable here, that’s all.

[ Sighs ] If something is making curtis uncomfortable, he’s a grown man and he can tell us himself. And, believe me, I know curtis. He will. Okay? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Good. Now, here, take this. The whole thing, stella? Really? Absolutely. You don’t want nothing that woman has to offer in your house. Are you sure that’s the same guy? Positive. This guy mason has ties to someone who’s working against sonny. I’m not sure who yet. I mean, but how can you tell from this picture? When I was following him, he always had a lollipop in his mouth. Oh, my god. Well, that would explain the grape lollipop at ava’S. Here we go. Alright, the vehicle that ava and mason got into that night is registered to a pautuck trucking company. Pautuck, new york. Okay, I’m gonna need a list of all the employees employed by the trucking company and their addresses, as well as any properties owned or leased by the trucking company. That’s where we’ll find ava. You’re right — I have a problem because for some reason, cyrus hates sonny corinthos. Can you please explain that to me? Because I don’t understand. Isn’t there enough to go around for everybody? There’s plenty there, right? There used to be. Look, I don’t get it either, alright? Honestly, I think the whole thing started when the boss found out that mayor collins was his sister. What does that have to do with anything? I don’t know. I’m just telling you. Look, that — that’s when cyrus started mentioning sonny more and more. Then he would rant on and on about corinthos and the life that he had. What life? They have the same life. They’re both mob bosses. Yeah, but he calls sonny “respectable.” Like, it’s almost as if it was something that he wanted for himself and he doesn’t have. Great. So, my life is in danger because cyrus is jealous of sonny corinthos. Honestly, you know what? I think it goes deeper than that.

[ Breathes deeply ] That guy comes back, sonny’s guy, and I’m gonna spill my guts. And their next move is to come after you. And then you’ll be as dead as me. Look, don’t do anything stupid, austin, alright? You’re only protection from sonny is the boss, so just do what you’re told. Let the boss handle corinthos. Alright?

[ Door slams ]

[ Kids chanting “cake!” ] Kristina: Come on. Cut the cake. Cake, cake, cake. Cake, cake.

[ Laughter ] Guard: This is it. You’re free to go. Thanks. Well played, renault. You know your way out. Oh, I certainly do.

[ Laughter ] Sonny: Here we go. Yeah!

[ Cheering ] Yay.

[ Laughter ] Let me see. That’s a huge piece. Oh, my gosh.

[ Laughter ] Go ahead. Ahh!

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah!

[ Door buzzes ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah. I almost forgot how great it is to swim in the ocean. What?! How could you forget? This was, like, our second home when we were kids. And especially you. You guys come here way more than the rest of us. Yeah, I know. That’s true. But I just — it’s — it’s been a while since I’ve been back. You should have joined us, dad. The water was so warm. I feel totally refreshed. Well, I’m just happy you enjoyed it, but I’ll check it out later ’cause I need to drink my morning coffee. You know how that goes. What’s this? Oh, that’s nothing. Oh, ho, ho, ho! I’m sorry. Are you writing your own vows? -Kristina, give it back. -[ Gasps ] You’re handwriting your vows? Who are you and what have you done with our tough-as-nails father? Michael, our dad’s in love. Thank you. It’s finally happening. Sonny: Maybe we wound up in this town for a reason. Maybe it’s our chance for happiness. You don’t think we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot? Who knows? It might be the start of something big. Love is hard but it’s worth the fight sonny: The more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. The past was dark to our first date. But now I’m bathed in light well, there’s things that you don’t know about you, mike, and things that you don’t know about me. Sonny: I remember everything, nina. But the more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. I never expected to fall in love with you. Mike never expected to fall in love with you, either. And those feelings, they just don’t disappear. Sonny, you are unlike any man that I have ever known. You make me happy, and I want to embrace that happiness.

[ Both laugh ]

And it’s you sonny: I see a future with you. It’s always been you but even you have to admit that the cards are stacked against us. It’s you I love it’s you sonny: The only thing I’m going to admit is I’m falling in love with you a little more every single day. That’s easy to say now. Now and forever. Forever. Marry me. I don’t want a pity proposal. Pity?! Have you ever thought of proposing to me before tonight? Sonny: Yeah. From the second I met you. I didn’t know who I was. It didn’t matter. Because I know what I felt. And I still do. Because you are brave and you’re a fighter. And I want you to allow me to fight alongside you. And it’s you it’s always been you you really want to marry me? Absolutely. You want to rethink your answer? And it’s you I say yes! Yes! It’s you yes! Yes! No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind. I want you to go all-out and expose drew and carly for engaging in insider trading. Just make sure to keep my name out of it. Donna: Nina, nina! Hi, sweetheart! Wow! You are up early. I was too excited to sleep. Yeah. I get it. Me too. So, what do you think about this chapel, huh? This is where I am going to marry your daddy. I like it.

[ Laughs ] Good! So do I. After you marry my daddy, are you going to be my second mommy? Yes, donna. I will. Good. Now I will have two mommies, just like avery.

[ Chuckles ] Harmony: Come on, honey. It’s time to get up. You don’t want to be late for the wedding. Hm. What are you doing here? I’m doing what I’ve done your entire life. I’m here to protect you.

[ Knock on door ] I’m studying! Go away! Okay. No problem. I’ll talk to you later. Wait! Wait, wait. Wait. I didn’t know it was you. What are you doing here? Are you alone or is trina around? I’m alone. Good. Because I really missed you. Really? How bad? This bad.

[ Chuckles ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Bless you for coming. Help! Can anyone hear me?! Help me! No one can hear you, ava. You’re wasting your energy. No one can hear all the noise you’re making… and no one’s coming to help you.

I can’t even put into words how incredibly grateful I am that the judge is considering me for a hardship release, which, if he grants, it means an early parole. Right. Good for you. It truly is a miracle that the court is going to take my age and fragile health into account. But they can’t just go on my word telling them that I don’t have the physical capacity to harm anyone. They need a doctor’s opinion, someone who is familiar with my medical history. So, again, thank you, dr. Gatlin-holt, for coming here to speak on my behalf. Sure. Yeah. Right. I mean, once I figured out what was at stake, I didn’t really have a choice, did I? I don’t think you want to be banging on those pipes, making so much noise. You should know — this basement — crawling with rats and cockroaches. I really don’t think it’s the type of place you want to be in your bare feet. You sick son of a bitch. How dare you hold me in these disgusting conditions. It’s inhumane! I’m sorry. I would have loved to put you up in a place more posh. Even for at least my own comfort. But unfortunately for both of us, you really pissed my boss off when you double-crossed us and you let sonny know what we were up to. That was a big mistake. Okay. Okay. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] I’m so happy you’re here. I’m always happy to see you. Well, I like the sound of that ’cause I’m always happy to see you, too. But I’m confused. Aren’t you on duty? Why aren’t you with sonny? Boss gave me a few days off. Oh. Time off for good behavior? Oh, hilarious. No, he’s out of town for a few days, so he gave me the time off. Wait. If he’s out of town, why wouldn’t he want his bodyguard with him? That doesn’t make sense. Well, uh, sonny and nina flew to puerto rico. Oh. He wants to show her the island property. I’m only surprised it took this long. It’s — it’s a little more than showing off the island property. What do you mean? Sonny and nina flew to puerto rico to elope. I have not finished writing my vows. Well, read them to me and michael, and we’ll give you our feedback. Yeah. I appreciate the offer, but you’re not gonna hear the vows until nina hears the vows. Speaking of your wife-to-be, it’s her first time on the island. What does she think? Well, she wanted to, like, sleep in separate rooms last night. Why? What do you mean, why? Because she didn’t — she didn’t want to see me until she sees me at the altar. I-I think that’s very sweet, dad. She don’t want to risk, you know, any bad luck at our wedding. Before I become your second mommy, there are two very important things that I need you to help me with today. Okay! Okay. I need you to think about this. Will you be my flower girl? Yes! I can do it!

[ Laughs ] I was a flower girl at willow and michael’s wedding. I know! I know! Your dad told me. He even showed me pictures. You were so great. He was so proud of you. Wiley told me that you’re willow’s mommy. Yeah. Wiley is correct. I am willow’s mom. After you get married, is willow going to be my sister? Well, yes, in a way, she will be your sister, but I think it’s simpler to think that we will all be one big family.

[ Laughs ] I like that. Yeah, I like it, too. Come on. So what’s the other important thing? Oh! Yes. Oh. Okay. It’s really, really bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony on the wedding day, so your mission is to make sure that your daddy does not see me too soon. Willow. Honey, I’m here to warn you. It’s very important. Warn me about what exactly?

[ No audio ] Mom. Mom. What are you trying to tell me?! Wha– what?! Wiley: Mommy! Wake up! Time to get ready for grandpa and grandma’s wedding!

Sonny and nina are getting married? How do you know this? How do you know this before i know this? Sonny is my boss. Right. Uh, does my mom know? ‘Cause I think she might be a little shocked when she finds out about this. She already knows. How? When? Yesterday. Sonny thought it was important to tell her in person himself, and he wanted the family to go down there with him. He wanted to take donna, and he needed her to be okay with that. Okay. When you say that sonny wanted the family there, who is it you’re talking about? I mean, did kristina decide to go? Maybe you should get this information from your mom. No, no, no, no. I’m asking you, dex. Who else is going? Dante wanted to go, but he couldn’t get away on such short notice. And? And michael and willow went, and they took wiley. I drove them to the airport.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Uh, this just doesn’t really make sense to me because they decide to elope and nobody tells me. Kristina going, yeah, of course. But michael and willow? Nobody has hated anyone more than michael hates sonny for being with nina. So him going to puerto rico, I mean, how does he not tell me that?! You’ve been locked in here studying for days. Yeah, I’ve been studying for an exam I have coming up. Michael can’t take five minutes out of his day to — to give me a major life update? Neither my mom or michael telling me this? This doesn’t make any sense. Well, maybe they just thought you wouldn’t care. I don’t care. Okay, but — but what? Then I have to ask… why is this bothering you so much? Why’d you sleep so late, mommy? Are you sick again? Oh, honey. No. No, no, no. No. The doctors say I’m all better. I just slept late. That’s all. Maybe that’s because amelia’s not here to wake me up. She cries a lot.

[ Laughs ] Sweetheart, that’s what — that’s what babies do. I’m just glad you’re not sick anymore. Me too. Hey. Come here. Oh, honey. I hope you know how much I love you and that I love being your mommy. And amelia’s mommy. I’m not going to leave either one of you. Hey, you two. Alright. Let’s rise and shine. It’s time to get ready for a wedding. Yay! Right there. Yeah. Okay. I know you didn’t ask for my opinion, but can I just tell you how happy I am you decided to elope? Well, I have a feeling you’re gonna tell me whether I should say yes or no. That’s — that’s accurate, yes. No, but seriously, dad. It’s — it’s so perfect here on the island, you know? It’s — it’s warm, and it’s relaxing, and there’s nothing fraught or tense. You know, it’s — it’s intimate. It was such a good call. You know what’s a better call? That you decided to come. Thank you. I’m bummed that dante and avery couldn’t be here, of course, but, hey, at least you got the rest of the kids, right? I mean, you got the most important one. Your favorite one. Listen. I am so happy that you were one of the, you know — the first one in the family to be open to nina like she’s part of the family. Yeah, of course, dad. It’s obvious how happy nina makes you. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted for you. You know, in the end, isn’t that really the only thing that matters? Yeah. You know what really matters? Hm? Is that you’re happy. Donna: Kristina, kristina! Hi! We have to get ready, but we can’t let daddy see nina. It’s bad luck! Sweetie, if I just run into her, it doesn’t count. No, dad. It absolutely counts. You can’t see her until the wedding! Okay. Listen. You know what? You’re the boss, so whatever you say goes. I will do — you know, you give me orders, and I’ll do it. Ready? Okay.

[ Kristina and donna laugh ] Oh. Hey. Hey. What are you doing here, scott? Client’s a client. Everybody gets a lawyer. It’s in the constitution. Mr. Baldwin. It’s good to see my legal counsel in person. Obviously, my payment must have cleared. Yeah, it did, and just so you know, that’s why I’m representing you — because you paid top dollar. And I can’t guarantee anything that goes on in the judge’s chambers. Well, all I expect you to do is your best. Well, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. However, it’s gonna be a tough sell to the judge that you’re no longer a menace to society, considering all the crimes you committed. Well, considering the amount of money I’ve paid you, I expect you to make a truly heroic argument in my favor.

Just, uh, so you know, donna put me in charge of making sure you don’t go anywhere near nina before she walks down the aisle. I-I wouldn’t dream of disobeying donna. Yeah. She’s pretty tough. I wonder where she gets that from. Yeah. Speaking of which, I went to talk to carly because, you know, I was gonna tell her I was marrying nina ’cause I needed to know if it was okay to bring donna to the island. Well, good. I’m glad you and mom made peace. I think it’s best for everyone if we — we move on. Best for everyone? Does that include you and me?

[ Knock on door ] Nina: I — this better not be the groom-to-be! It’s just willow and me. No grooms here. -Hi! -Hi! You look great! Oh, my gosh! You are so beautiful! So are you. And michael was drafted by donna to make sure that sonny doesn’t try and wander off. So there is no chance that he’s going to get an accidental glimpse of his bride. Great. Well, when I asked donna to help out, you know, I just wanted her to feel included. I had no idea how seriously she was gonna take this. Oh, the only thing that tore donna from her guard post was that she needed to change into her flower-girl dress. Kristina: Aww. Aww. That’s why we’re here. We are going to ensure that there is nothing but good luck for the bride and groom. Thank you. I am so glad that you both are here. I don’t want to care about sonny or what he does, but I do. And… I feel left out. And maybe I shouldn’t — because I have been abundantly clear to everybody on how I feel about him. But…I feel alone in this grudge now. And I don’t know what to do. I mean, I feel crazy. I don’t want to feel this way. A lot to take in. I get it.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, josslyn. Thank god you’re here. Pilar. What are you doing here? I am so sorry to bother you, but have you heard from ms. Jerome? No. I haven’T. Is everything okay? I didn’t tell sonny anything! If your boss’s “plan” fell apart, it’s because he hired substandard help. You know, this is really your fault for using someone as obvious as betty to spy on sonny.

[ Scoffs ] None that really matters anymore, though, does it? You are where you are. And for how long? Do you really think that nobody’s gonna notice that I’m gone? You’re here till I get further instructions. So until then, try to stay out of trouble. Oh… and watch out for those rats. Oh. Come on!

[ Laughs ] Oh, come on! Don’t leave me down here! C–

[ Door closes ] Alright, then. Okay, then. And stay gone. It’ll give me a time to figure out a way out of here. Judge sinclair: Want you to know, mr. Renault, that I believe in rehabilitation. So much so that I’m on the board of a foundation to end recidivism. But not every prisoner is worthy of a second chance. Your criminal record is long, and it ended with a hostage situation. So whatever decision I make, I’m gonna have to defend it to the public. So why do you think that you should be released? Your honor, I understand your hesitancy. This is a multi-pronged request. My client is reformed. He found god, and he has turned his life around. And his health is very fragile. He suffered a heart attack. So he is no longer a menace to society.

I have never been a bride before, obviously, but I have been a part of plenty of weddings, and there is no way we are letting you marry my dad without giving you all the tradition. Thank you. I appreciate your commitment, kristina, but I thought we covered it on our flight here that, you know, I don’t need all that stuff — you know, something borrowed, something blue — to make this day perfect. Totally. I mean, we let you think that you were gonna have your way on the plane over here. Oh. Really? But it is your day, nina. It’s really up to you. Sure. Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Okay. This should cover your something borrowed. Look at these. -You like? -They’re so beautiful! Oh, my goodness. I love them. Thank you. This is my gift to you, whether you wear this today or sometime in the future.

[ Gasps ] Thank you so much! Look at this shawl. It’s absolutely lovely. Well, I know you were planning a much bigger wedding, so with how close you are to maxie, I asked for her input on a fashion-forward item that would work as your something new, and she instantly picked out this shawl. Plus, now maxie gets to be a part of your wedding. Yes. I just love this shawl. It’s just absolutely beautiful. And I love the fact that whenever I wear it, I will feel maxie’s presence. This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it. It’S… it’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you. So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday, and according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

[ Chuckles ] I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life. Thank you. I told you this was a good idea. Right?

[ Laughs ] Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. You know, I always — I always love coming here. There’s something so calming about the ocean. Yeah. When you guys were kids, it was — we had the greatest time. And it’s ironic because I bought this island because I-I want to spend the rest of my life here. I wanted it alone without anybody. Now it’s turned out to be the opposite. This has become my family refuge. And now… …it’s the place where I’m gonna get married. Yeah. I-I can’t help but think about coming here as a kid. With morgan. And whenever I smell the ocean air, I just — I just think of my brother. Yeah, I think of your brother morgan every day. Me too. And, dad, I — I hope you know how much he loved you. And I really think he’d be very happy for you today. Thank you for saying that. And, uh…me, I’m — I’m happy for you, too. Um, pilar, where’s avery now? Pilar: She’s with my mom. I’ve been trying to get ahold of ms. Jerome since last night, and I can’t receive a response back, not even a text. And it’s just not like her. She was supposed to pick up avery at 5:00 P.M. And she never showed up. Maybe she just got the days mixed up. No, no. Look. I know ava and how much she cares for avery. She doesn’t just forget to pick her up or mix up days. And I know avery’s dad is out of town for the wedding for a few days. And it’s not that I mind taking care of avery. She’s an absolute joy. But when I don’t hear from ms. Jerome, it just feels like something’s wrong. Look. It’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna find her. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being paranoid. I’ve been overthinking things ever since the day avery wandered away from me in the park. Look, I-I thought about calling your mom, but she’s been dealing with so much with mr. Cain in the hospital. That’s why I came to you, josslyn. W-what do you think? Should we call your mom? Look. I kind of want to leave my mom out of this because — you’re right. She has a lot on her plate right now. Let’s establish a timeline. When and where did you last see ms. Jerome? From a-a life of crime to finding god and turning himself into a new man and preaching to his inmates. And he has taken all of his possessions and he has sold them and given that money to charity. My client has made it a mission for him to help his former inmates build better and honorable lives. Warden garten: It isn’t cyrus renault’s first day at pentonville, but it is his first day as a model prisoner. I’m often dubious of people who claim to find religion, but in mr. Renault’s case, it seems to certainly have made him a better person. He’s been a good example to his fellow prisoners, and he truly has earned a position of trust. Medically speaking, cyrus renault is still recovering from his heart attack, a heart attack that has done irreparable damage to his heart and left him extremely weak. I do not believe that he is physically a threat to anybody. In fact, if he were to remain in custody without proper and adequate medical care, he could become debilitated, vulnerable to attack himself, unable to defend himself. So it’s your contention that if cyrus renault is released back into society he could not harm another person? Yes. That is what I believe.

You know, we’re at a destination wedding on a gorgeous island. Don’t you think you want to take a little time to take that in instead of being buried in your phone? That is ironic coming from you. Where’s dad anyway? Oh. Uh, yeah. You know him. Even though this is supposed to be a stripped-down elopement, he still wants everything to be perfect, so, of course, he’s at the chapel making sure everything is ready to go. It’s my wedding day. We both know it’s not…my first. I’m just praying that it… it’s my last. When nina came into my life… …I didn’t know who I was. She made me feel whole again. And I started to believe that if… even if I didn’t remember my past, that my present life would be enough. And then a miracle happened. I remembered who I was. I remembered my children. My grandchildren. But I could not shake the feelings that I had for nina. I love her with all my heart. Please, lord. Help me make this day special. Help me make nina happy… in the way that she deserves.

[ Line ringing ] Ava: You’ve reached

ava jerome.

I’m unable to take your call.

Leave me a message.

[ Beep ] Ava! Your voicemail again? Come on! I have been trying to get ahold of you for days. I just feel completely out of touch with you. Well, I’ll just leave it on your voicemail. Um… I’m in puerto rico. And it’s my wedding day, ava. Please, please, please. Do not feel, like, you know, slighted because I didn’t invite you. We just decided, sonny and I, that it was just gonna be a small ceremony with just family, you know, and… and guess what. My daughter. She’s here, too. She gave me th– well, I’ll just tell you when I — when I talk to you. I was just thinking about you, and I just wanted to let you know this is the happiest day of my life. And I wanted to thank you, ava. Thank you for being my friend, for being so supportive. You’re always there for me. And I wish you were here right now to share all of this with me. But I tell you what. When I get back into town, we are gonna have a drink and we are going to talk about everything. Do you hear me? I love you. I miss you. I’ll see you soon. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Pilar, thank you for coming to me. Is it okay if avery stays with you and your mom a little bit longer? Yeah, of course. Okay. I know that you’re worried about ava, but just try not to let avery know what’s going on. And stay in touch with josslyn in case you hear anything from ava. And you should reach out to dante. It can’t hurt to put it on the pcpd’s radar that ava might be missing. Right. Right. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you. So what do you think? I mean, do you think ava’s in danger? Yeah. Without a doubt.

[ Speaking spanish ] It’s my pleasure, mr. Corinthos. Are you all ready, donna? Yes! Yeah? Are you all set with your flower-girl basket? I’m ready to go! Okay, buddy. Do you know what to do as a ring bearer? Yeah. I carry the rings. My man.

[ Cellphone dings ] Daddy. Mommy says you look at your phone too much. Stop. It’s almost time for grandpa sonny and grandma nina to get married. Who are you texting? You should get back to studying. You have a lot of exams coming up. Well, what are you gonna do? My job. Okay? Pilar’s really freaked out that ava might be missing, and I need to take that very seriously. Are you gonna let sonny know what’s going on? Not unless it’s an emergency. Okay? I’ll keep you updated. Wait. Look. Ava is avery’s mom. And if something’s happening to her, I want to help. I’m not the type to just sit on the sidelines, and I think, by now, you know that. Yeah. I do know that. Let’s get started.

[ Grunts ]

[ Footsteps approach ] Mason: Going somewhere, ava? Well, you didn’t think i was gonna sit around here doing nothing, did you? No. I knew you’d try to break out. Please be aware that that window is nailed shut. And as you can see, there are bars on it. You really just need to come to terms with you’re not leaving until the boss says you do. Bless you.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I was wondering when you would call me. Yeah. What do you got for me? I have done exactly what you’ve asked me to do. Now you let ava go. Oh, you know by now. Neither one of us is calling the shots. -You’re gonna be on soon. -I know. I’m ready. I think it’s your turn to take your place, best man. Alright. Will do. Alright. You ready for this, dad? Let’s do it. Okay. Father, we’re ready. You look pretty. Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

best advice I can give you is to give the nurse on duty a heads up when you refer a patient to another doctor, especially if you want to stay on their good side.

[ Chuckles ] Got it. I definitely want to stay on the good side of all the nurses. And I want to thank you for all the help and support you’ve given me the last week. You’re so welcome. You’re gonna be a great addition to the staff here. I have to say, I’m a little overwhelmed. There’s always so much going on. Always will be. How are you? How’s your day? Uh, busier than ever. Yours? Actually, I just… I just got here, but I got to run out again. I got to go check on chase. How’s he doing? Yeah, he’s not answering any of my calls or my texts, so I’m just going to bite the bullet and go on over to his place. I’ll let you know after I see him. Good luck. Thanks. Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? Yeah. I would love that. Yeah? Why don’t you and violet come over, and we’ll throw something together? Yeah, I like that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And that — that way, we can spend some time with aiden. I know he would love to see violet. He’s been home alone a lot lately since jake has been spending so much time with charlotte. Yeah. No, violet would love to see aiden, too. Yeah, it’ll be fun. Yeah. Yeah, it’ll be fun.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Probably not as much fun as what happened last night in the locker room. I’ll see you tonight. I’ll see you tonight. Oh, hey. Hi. Any luck? With? Finding a co-chief of staff? Oh, not yet. I’m too busy trying to find out who was in the staff locker room having sex in the showers. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be home. I was relieved the moment we landed.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I know. Yeah, it’ll be nice to decompress for a little while after being on the road for so long looking for nikolas. You know something? Hmm? I think I have a bottle of red wine in the kitchen. We can open it up. Oh, i do like red wine.

[ Laughs ] Alright. I’ll take your suitcases inside for you. No, it’s okay. I-I can take it from here. Thank you, spencer. I had an amazing weekend. Yeah, me too. But now you need to go home because I know you’re missing ace. I am. But as much as I want to see my baby brother, I’m just as sad to see our weekend in new york end. It was perfect, by the way. Every second.

Every second? Every…single… second. It was perfect. Dad. I — I love you, son, so much.

[ Sniffles, sighs ]

[ Door slams ] Where is she? Monica is in her office. She’s on video call. I’m not looking for monica. Where is my granny? Tracy, where are you?! Where are you hiding?! I’m not hiding. I’m right here. Why are you shrieking?

[ Guitar strumming, cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ] I’m so sorry.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m sorry. I didn’t — I didn’t mean to wake you up.

[ Exhales sharply ] You were in my dream.

Ace, sweetheart, where is your mommy? Oh. Laura, kevin, thank god you’re both home!

[ Muttering ] Esme, is everything okay? Ace is teething, and I’ve been with him 24/7. I think I’ve only slept like six hours in the last couple of days. And I had to call alexis this morning to tell her that I wasn’t gonna be able to make it to work, but that I felt bad that I wasn’t going to work.

[ Inhales sharply ] But I’m exhausted. I know, hon. Okay. We’re home now. We can help. I didn’t realize how lonely it would be watching him just… by myself. Where’s spencer? I’m sorry, I… no. No, it’s okay. I want you to go home. I mean, I —

[ Sighs ] I want you to go see ace. I’ll text you or call or… I’ll see you tomorrow, no matter what. You promise? Yeah. Yeah, I promise. Okay, bye. You better. Hey, you’re back. Come on in, have a seat, and tell me all about it. How was it? Oh… it was okay. Just okay? No. It was amazing!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] I was wrong, son, and I’m so sorry. I should have told you about my diagnosis. I meant to, but I — I just… kept putting it off. Why? Was it because you… thought I couldn’t handle it? No! No. Because I… didn’t think

i could handle it. All your life, son, you’ve been such a joy and a blessing. Your — your enthusiasm was contagious. Your openness, your optimism. Ever since you were a little boy, if — if I was having a bad day or struggling with something, I’d just… spend time with you, and it would change everything, change my perspective. So I-I’ve just been… selfish, just storing up moments with you where… things felt normal, where… I didn’t have als and I wasn’T…dying.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Voice breaking ] But it wasn’t fair to you, and I’m so sorry.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s okay, dad. If spending time with me, if — if that brought you joy… …that’s all that matters.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sniffles ] Who told you someone was having sex in the showers? Amy driscoll. Consider the source, right? Ms. Gh gossip. She does like to make assumptions. Who knows? Maybe it’s not even true. Well, it is. Why do you say that? Because it was me. And just so you know, it was only kissing. With finn? Elizabeth! Well done. Whoa. That was tough. It truly was. Helping families who are losing a loved one figure out the next steps, that’s an important but necessary part of this job. You knew exactly what to say to them, with dignity and heart. The dignity and heart were real, but the rest was instinct and experience. You want to switch it up a bit? Yeah, I’d love to. What do you have in mind? Pediatrics. Oh, I love babies! The best part of this job. Let’s go. Okay.

[ Laughs ] I was in your dream? Yes. And I was naked. On stage. I was naked on stage. It’s crazy. I-I-I was at a gig in my dream, and you were in the crowd. And there was another woman with you. Well, who was it? I don’t know. But it’s really, really frustrating. What is? This dream! Because I’ve had it a couple times. Maybe you should talk to someone about it. I thought I was. How could you? How could I what? Do what you did. What is it you think I did? Think? I know you did. Are you talking in code, or did you hit your head like your father? You can’t bluff your way out of this one, granny. You know exactly what you did!

[ Clears throat ] I, uh, don’t think she does. Can you give us a minute, yuri? Please? This is something that granny and I need to settle privately.

Da. Okay. So would you like to tell me, in plain english, not yelling, what exactly is it you think I did? How could you tell chase that his father has als? That was an honest mistake. Those don’t exist with you. I was at the hospital. I ran into chase. His eyes were red. He was crying. I assumed it was about his father. And when I realized my mistake, I tried to backpedal, but… chase wouldn’t let it go. So you took it upon yourself and you told him? He pressured me! Would you have preferred I lied? Oh, so now you’re taking a stand for honesty?! You are unbelievable, granny. No. I’m just explaining to you what happened.

[ Knocking on door ] Do you want to get that, or do you want to stand there and stare at me?

[ Sighs ] What?! Whoa! Is that any way to greet your mother?

[ Exhales sharply ]

You are talking to someone. And I am more than happy to listen. But I was talking about… more like a — a professional. You know? A psychic?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, I don’t believe in them. Yeah, it’s all just a scam. Oh, no, um, you’d be surprised. But — but — but I wasn’t talking about a psychic. I-I meant like a — like a doctor. Like kevin collins. You know, h-he’s really good with — with dreams and repressed memories. Maybe — maybe this is your subconscious trying to tell you something? No. Thank you. I remember kevin from when I first woke up at the hospital. He’s a nice enough guy, but, you know, he really wasn’t a help then, and I seriously doubt that he can help me now. Okay. Okay. Well, if you’re really serious about getting to the bottom of this… you’ll bite the bullet and you’ll talk to kevin. Ma! It’s so good to see you! Oh, it’s so good to see you, too. How’s my baby? I’m good. I’m surprised to see you.

[ Chuckling ] Ah, yeah, well…

[ Clears throat ] Let me see your hair. Oh! Oh, it’s beautiful. Oh, thank you. Let me see your nails. Oh! Oh, they never cease to impress me. Thank you. Look who’s back!

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Clears throat ] Hello, tracy. Hello, lois. Hmm. It’s been a minute.

[ Chuckles ] Are those laugh lines or just lines? You’re looking great, too, tracy. Thank you. Mm-hmm. So, to what do we owe this hopefully brief visit? Yeah, ma, what’s going on? Is everything okay at home? Yes, everything is fine in bensonhurst. I — look, I read an article about you being dumped by deception, and I thought, “how dare they? Don’t they know what an asset my brookie is?” Ma, I deserved it. Okay. I don’t know what’s gotten into your head, but my daughter doesn’t deserve to be dumped. I was manipulated into sharing privileged information. Corporate espionage. What?! Manipulated by who? Who would do that to you? Uh-huh.

[ Scoffs ] A newborn’s health is influenced by the access they have to quality healthcare. I’m so sorry to interrupt.

[ Chuckles ] May I steal you for just one moment? Oh. Go ahead, stella. It’ll give me time to study my notes. Okay. Okay. Is everything alright, portia? Dr. Randolph offered me the co-chief of staff position.

[ Gasps ] Congratulations!

[ Laughs ] Did you accept? Not yet. Why not? Well, because. It’s gonna be a lot more work, more e-mails, more phone calls, emergencies. So turn it down. I did. But now I think I might want it. I mean, it’s a senior management position. It’s going to be a little bit more money. And with everything going on with curtis, it would be helpful. Well, take it! Yeah, but what about curtis? What about him? Our trip to new york was amazing. Spencer thought of everything. We saw “moulin rouge!” Whoa. Broadway. Yeah. And then we had dinner at a rooftop restaurant. It was overlooking the city. We could see the empire state building from our table. Wow. Well, it sounds like you had a good time. We did. And spencer organized a tour of the met, and then we did fun little touristy things. Like, we walked around the city, we got a few gourmet coffees, and then we went shopping. Ooh! Which reminds me. I got you something. Trina, you didn’t have to do that. I wanted to. These are for you. I hope you like them. I do. I love them. I got you both because I didn’t know which team you prefer, but i did know that you like basketball. Oh. Yeah. I still love the game, even though I can’t play.

[ Laughs ] I’m gonna go ahead and change ace’s sheets again. Since he started teething, he is drooling like crazy. Yeah, well, you go right ahead. I’m just enjoying my time with my grandson. He’s gotten so much bigger since the last time I saw him. I feel like I’ve done 10 loads of laundry since spencer went away with trina, so… there’s my boy. Look. It’s kevin. Well… so much for decompressing over a nice bottle of wine.

[ Laughs ] I’m still happy to be home. Me, too. I’m gonna take the rest of these upstairs, since…you seem to have your hands full.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Mm-hmm. Oh, sweetheart. Did you miss grandma? I’ll tell you something. Grandma missed you an awful lot. Mm. Now, tell me — where is your big brother, spencer? Hmm?

[ Gasps ] Look who it is! Two of my three favorite people in the world.

you don’t have to apologize. I understand why you didn’t tell me. Dad… explained everything. How are you doing? At the moment… all I can be is thankful that I have… two such wonderful sons. Hey! How’s it going? Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you. Aww. And I’m back, and we could play all day now.

[ Laughs ] Oh, dear. I missed you too, grandmother. It’s really good to see you. I’m glad that you’re home. I missed you, too, and I’m very glad to be home. And, hey, I got you a present. Look at that! Oh, my goodness.

[ Gasps ] This is for you! Hmm? Your brother got you a stuffed toy. Yeah. Yeah. You’re back. If I didn’t steal the deceptor files for granny and commit corporate espionage, she said she’d go to chase. Blackmailing her own granddaughter — thank you, no — by threatening to make trouble with her boyfriend? I don’t think tracy has ever stooped so low. I should have just been honest with chase from the beginning, ma. Then she wouldn’t have had anything to blackmail me with. But instead, I let her manipulate me, and I let down my friends and my colleagues. And they’re furious, and rightfully so. I deserved to get fired. This is on tracy, not on you, brook lynn. I just feel so terrible about what I did. Oh, honey. But you know what? Maybe it’s all for the best. At least, the getting fired part. Why would you say that? Because I’m going back into music, and it feels right. Well, of course it feels right. Because it is! Because it runs in the family.

[ Gasps ]

[ Both screaming, laughing ]

[ Screaming, laughter in distance ] Did you hear that? Of course I heard it. People in new delhi heard it. What’s going on? It’s a bensonhurst invasion. Oh, my god! Look at you! You look so good! Me? Look at you! You’re gorgeous! Oh, god. I wish. H-how long do we get to keep you for? I have absolutely no plans. I saw that my — my little girl was in need, so I wanted to be here for her. Well, I’m glad that you are. Mm. I will always be. Well, honey, honey, where are you staying? I hope you’re going to stay here in the house with me. Huh? I would invite you to stay with me and chase, but the apartment is very small. Okay, so not a problem. And, no, vivi. No. I was thinking of staying at the metro court. Okay, lolo, I will comp you a room. Well, of course you will, and I expect an exceptional room. And you will get one! We got brand-new suites with beautiful views of the waterfront. Just remember, detective chase is only a phone call away. That won’t be necessary. Just as always, you win. When do you want me to start working back at deception? No, ma, you know what? Olivia is right. You should stay here at the house. I think tracy would love having you here. To be honest, we really haven’t had time to discuss it. What’s there to discuss? I’d say it’s about time.

[ Chuckles ] Time for what? Love. [ Chuckles ] Ah. I love love. Right?

[ Laughs ] Well, hi, everybody. Wow. I didn’t realize I was interrupting a party.

[ Chuckles ] Terry, um… do you have a second? I’d like to speak to you about… something pretty important. Dad, finn said that you were diagnosed months ago. But, I mean, right now you… you seem fine. Well, luckily, right now, at this stage of the disease, I still have good days. But my symptoms are… increasing. My hands cramp up more and more when I’m doing simple things like signing my name or typing on the computer. And my balance isn’t so good anymore. I’ve fallen a few times. Dad… but fortunately, today is one of the good days. Why didn’t I see it? I — I should have. I went to great lengths to hide it from you. I didn’t see it either, bro. There was a couple of incidents, but I didn’t put it together. And like you, I should have. No, no, no. This can’t be about you guys blaming each other for what you did or didn’t see. I didn’t want either of you to see anything until I was ready. But now I’m — I’m glad that it’s finally out in the open and I’m able to be honest with both of you — and myself. Okay. How can we help? My weekend in the city with trina was great. Oh. Yeah. Fine dining, um, a few art museums. We caught a show. Nice. Uh, we’re glad you two could find some time away. Me too. Seemed like you had your hands full while I was away. Ace and i were just fine. We had some nice mother-son bonding time. And those are the times that you’ll never forget. Honey, ace seems a little tired to me. I know. It’s — it’s time for his nap. Here. I’m happy to put him down. We could put him to bed together. Sure. We can… put him down together. And maybe you could even sing that stupid song you sing to him that you made up. Oh, the…

ace, base, he’s got the cutest face …song? Yes, that one. That one. Bye-bye, sweetie. Bye! Wave! Sleep tight!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whispering ] I am so relieved. You mean those two? Yes! Look how well they’re getting along together. I was concerned for ace’s sake. Yes, but… unlike spencer, who has a life outside of ace, esme seems…isolated. And all she has is her work at the invader. She doesn’t really seem to have a group of friends.

That’s enough information for the day. You’re a quick study. Well, you’re a great mentor. Well, I have some paperwork to catch up on. When are you starting here at gh? Next week. I hope I’ll be ready. Oh, you’ll be great! You’re a natural. And I’ll be around whenever you need me. Okay? Thank you, stella. I appreciate it. Spencer was a true gentleman. You have nothing to worry about. Are you sure? I’d hate to have to go full “granddad.” Spencer treated me very well. We had a great trip. She, uh, she gave me the highlights. Whoa! And did you approve? I approve. Yeah. That’s new, isn’t it? Yeah, uh, spencer gave it to me so that I always have something to remember our trip together. And always remember spencer by, no doubt. Well, spencer is pretty unforgettable, so… and what do we have here? These, pop, are a present from trina. And I’m willing to share if you pick the right one. I want the knicks hat. It’s yours. Good choice. Well, I have a paper due for school, so I have to head back to the dorms, okay? Okay. I’ll see you later. Bye-bye. Bye. Thank you for the hat. You don’t really think that cassadine boy is good enough for her, do you? I don’t think I can tell my daughter what to do or who to be with.

[ Clears throat ] What time are you off work? I’m not sure yet. Text me what you like for dinner. I will. Maybe italian? Or russian? Okay. I have patients to see.

[ Chuckles ] What makes sure you, uh,

shower them with kindness. So, portia, what can I do for you?

[ Door closes ] I know that I initially turned down your job offer… but I’ve had a change of heart, and I really want it. I believe that I can do a great job, for you and for gh… so I am officially accepting your job offer to be co-chief of staff. I’m not so sure about staying here at the qs’…

with tracy, you know? I think the room you described at the metro court sounds perfect for me, and I’m going to stay there. Yeah. Actually, you know what? I think that what brook lynn said was right. If — if you stay here and we’re under the same roof, we can really have a proper visit, honey. You know, we could braid each other’s hair and watch crummy movies and eat junk food just like old times. Vivi, no. I don’t think so. Mnh-mnh. Lolo, if I’m at the metro court, it’s going to be all about work drama. I’m not really going to get a chance to see you. Fine. Fine!

[ Clears throat ] Hey, speaking of drama… yeah? …Does ned still think he’s actually eddie maine? What do you mean a bensonhurst invasion? Well, olivia was bad enough, and now there’s two of them. So olivia has family visiting? Why don’t you see for yourself? Okay. Ace is asleep. Mm! Yeah, and I only had to hear spencer sing that silly song three times, but it did make ace laugh, so I guess it was worth it. And he’s asleep, so… good. So, uh, grandmother, you still haven’t told us why you guys decided to come back. Did you give up on looking for my father? Actually, no. Your grandmother refused to give up. Didn’t matter how difficult it became, she insisted we keep looking. It wasn’t always easy at times. Search took us to russia, greece. The trail eventually took us to geneva. Uh, where we actually met with your dad’s banker, who said that he had been seen there at the bank taking out some withdrawals. Um… we didn’t actually see your dad, but we know he’s alive.

Elizabeth, how is finn doing? Oh, he’s well. We should all get together again soon. You, finn, me, terry. I like finn. He’s, uh, good people. Yeah, he’s pretty great. We’ll check our schedules and get back to you guys. I better go. Starting new job this week, and, uh, I have to figure out how to tell my old boss I’m leaving. That’s never easy. Good luck. Hey, it’s me. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, and I hope everything’s going okay with chase. See you later tonight at my place. My specialist was clear. This…

[ Exhales sharply ] …Is a terminal diagnosis. There is no cure for als. But how I handle this disease, how quickly I deteriorate, that’s still to be determined. I’m trying to take this day to day. Are you sure there’s nothing we can do? I wish there was. You know, dad’s got a lot of good days left. And even as the disease progresses, there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to… to be together, to spend time together, to love each other. Well, we will be with you every step of the way. I love you, dad. I love you. I’m a lucky man. Are you sure about taking on the extra responsibility? It’s a lot of work. A lot of hours. I am not afraid of hard work. I’ve worked hard my entire life, and I do not plan on stopping it now. That sounds great. I’ll let dr. Quartermaine know. You might even start on monday… what? …Partner. Yeah.

[ Laughter ] You know, pop, I told trina when she gave me this hat… even though I can’t play, god, I still love the game. Any progress in finding out who shot you, son? It’s been a while. Have the cops found anything? No. Haven’t heard anything yet. You know… the whole time I was a cop, my biggest fear was getting injured in the line of duty.

[ Scoffs ] So when it finally happened, I’m a civilian. Do you know where nikolas is now? No, I don’T. I mean, knowing nikolas, he — he could really be anywhere.

[ Ace crying over baby monitor ] Perfect timing. I think I need a little bit of a break from talking about my dad, so I’m gonna go check on ace. Uh, no, no, no. Why don’t you stay and catch up with your grandmother? I’ll go check on ace. Actually, I agree with esme. I need to make some calls and catch up on my patients. So it’s what we thought all along? My father left us… and he doesn’t want to come back? I really believe that your father is gonna realize the mistake that he’s making and that he will come back to us. I really hope for everyone involved that he just stays away. Spencer, you know you don’t mean that. But I’m really, really glad that you’re home. Aww. And I missed you. I missed you, too. I missed you a lot. It’s gonna be okay. Okay. I’m gonna go check on ace.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Yeah. Valentin, it’s laura. I just got back to port charles. When you pick this up, will you please call me back right away? I want to know what’s going on with charlotte. Thanks. The neighborhood hasn’t changed at all. The pizza place is still hoppin’ every friday night, and the arcade is busier than it’s ever been! Oh, the arcade! How many hours did we spend and waste in that dump? Oh, too many. How many nails did I break playing those stupid games all the time? Well, how’s — how’s gloria and carmine? Oh. Aww, my parents are great. Thank you for asking. Yeah. Yeah, ma still makes pasta every sunday night. Pops is still working in the garage. Can you believe it? Brook lynn… what? …You need to see your grandparents more often. They’re not getting any younger. I will, ma. I promise. You better. Oh. Mm! I know you. Well, I should hope so. I’m your ex-wife… and I’m brook lynn’s mother. Oh. Yeah. But I feel like I know you from somewhere else.

Recap written by Suzanne

After discussing it with Scott and Maxie, Lucy decides to sell her ELQ share to Tracey (and save Maxie’s job). She calls a staff meeting to tell everyone about it.

Alexis and Gregory compile information they got from Diane and other sources about the judge that sentenced Drew, so they can see if there’s enough evidence against him to see if he’s unethical. Finn drops by and takes Gregory to the park, where he explains that Chase now knows that he has ALS. Meanwhile, Carly visits Alexis with some information she has about the judge going on an expensive fishing trip vacation, which they could use to force him to overturn Drew’s sentence.

Brook Lynn comes home to find Chase crying. He explains that he found out his dad has ALS, and no one told him. She comforts him. Later, Gregory arrives at Chase’s place.

Nina is surprised and touched when Sonny brings Kristina, Michael, Willow, Wiley and Donna aboard his private plane (heading to his private island for their wedding. Avery is sick, so she couldn’t come, and Dante sent his regrets and good wishes. Sonny thanks Michael for coming, and for convincing Willow to come (but Michael says that Willow wanted to be there). Kristina tells Willow and Nina about the island and how wonderful it is. Nina asks them to help her get ready for the wedding, and they agree.

The prison warden tells Cyrus that she’s leaving to be in charge of all the Texas prisons, so he’s on his own now. He’s not too happy to hear it. She also tells him that Drew will be taken care of for good.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Lucy: No, I do not have a comment on that either! Ohh! Why? Why are they so rude? They’re just rude. Why won’t they leave us alone?

Maxie: I don’t know.

Well, because there’s blood in the water. But we are not dead yet.

Lucy: W-we’re not. I mean, if we could just come up with a product as fantastic as the Deceptor, we’d be fine.

Maxie: Lucy, that could take months. Maybe even years. I mean, why won’t you just take Tracy’s deal?

Scott: Oh — bite your tongue there, Maxie. Lucy’s got a sliver of the ELQ pie. She’s got to hang onto that!

Maxie: Oh. Okay. Well, I hope that sliver of pie keeps Lucy fed when deception goes under… because after years of breaking our backs and building this company from the ground up, Sasha and I will ultimately end up with nothing!

Brook Lynn: I totally agree. Your venue is perfect. I can guarantee that blaze is gonna sell it out. I can even throw in an opening act for you if you want. I have to call you back.

Alexis: Here’s everything Molly was able to dig up on judge Albert Kim. And this is everything Diane was able to dig up, so we got a lot of work ahead of us.

Gregory: Good. I’m ready. Let’s nail this bastard.

Alexis: Aren’t you all fired up!

Gregory: Well, I’m trying to cultivate a good “go for it” attitude, hoping it translates to skydiving.

Alexis: So researching papers to skydiving. That’s quite a leap!

Gregory: Wow. Really?

Alexis: I know.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Chuckles ] Hi, there.

Finn: Hi. I’m — I’m really sorry to interrupt the fun, but I was wondering if I could steal my dad away for a cup of coffee.

Cyrus: What’s going on? Visiting hours are over. Why am I being brought here during off hours?

Guard: You’ll find out soon enough.

Ellen: I… thank you for bringing down Mr. Renault. You can leave us alone now.

Cyrus: Should I be worried?

Nina: Well, there he is. Hi, handsome.

Alright. I am set. I’m ready to get this wedding going. What about you?

Sonny: Just about.

Nina: What, are we waiting on something?

Sonny: Yes, we are.

Nina: Something for the wedding?

Sonny: You got to be patient. You got to wait a little while longer.

Nina: Well, Sonny, I am the bride, so shouldn’t I know what we are waiting on? And, besides, you said that the staff in Puerto Rico is handling everything.

Sonny: Yeah, but this is something that I could only get in port Charles, and the wedding would not be complete without it.

Nina: What is going on?

[ Both laugh ]

Who’s ready for a wedding?!

[ Nina gasps ] Ohh…

[ Sighs ]

Scott: Listen. I-I don’t want you to worry, okay? ‘Cause your attorney, Vance — top-notch. I’ve seen her in action. Okay? And, besides, you’re like a gladiator. You got your sword out ready to conquer.

Lucy: Thank you. I think. But listen, pal. You know what? We really could lose this case… or deception could go completely under financially before we even get to court. And like you said, I’m a gladiator. I-I’ll be fine. I will survive anything. It’s just Maxie. She is raising three little kids without any support — just her. So if I did take Tracy’s deal, at least Maxie would have a job.

Scott: Y-you can’t let Tracy put the screws to you because of Maxie.

Lucy: [ Sighs ] But I can’t do that to my very best friend in the whole world, not to her daughter and her grandchildren. Felicia — I can’t do that to Felicia. What am I saying? Maxie has become my very best friend in the whole world, too. And if I let her down, I couldn’t live with myself. So I don’t know. I-I just — I don’t feel like I can do it to Maxie, either!

Scott: Lucy, have you got your noggin screwed on straight? You can’t let go of the ELQ stock. It’s the tie-breaking vote!

Brook Lynn: Chase? What happened?

Chase: I got some pretty bad news at the hospital today. Okay. And it is the last thing I ever would have expected or imagined. Now I’m just… sitting here trying to make sense of it… trying to figure out the little things I missed. Brook Lynn, my dad is dying.

Brook Lynn: What?

Gregory: Son, listen. Alexis and I are in the middle of something. Instead of coffee, can we maybe grab dinner later upstairs at the metro court?

Finn: Actually, I was really hoping we could go now.

Alexis: You know what? We don’t need to do this now. Y-you go with your son. He needs you.

Gregory: Are you sure?

Finn: She seems pretty sure.

Alexis: I’m sure. I can — I can sort through it and organize it.

Gregory: Oh, I feel bad about leaving you with all this drudgery.

Alexis: Drudgery to you. Interesting to me. Because I’m gonna find a little nugget that will blow this whole story wide open. Go, go, go.

Gregory: Coffee it is.

Finn: Okay.

[ Mouthing words ]

Nina: I’m still in shock. I am so thrilled. I can’t believe you guys can make it on such short notice. I mean, it wouldn’t have been the same if you all weren’t here with me and Sonny.

Wiley and donna are settled in, playing. Melanie’s got enough books and games to keep them occupied for the rest of the flight.

Willow: They loved the takeoff. Wiley was glued to the window the entire time.

Nina: That’s so great. What about Avery? Wasn’t she able to come?

Pilar called. Avery’s got something wrong with her stomach. She’s sick, so she can’t come.

Nina: Oh, no. And I’m disappointed, but… oh, that’s — that’s so sad. Well, I hope she gets better soon.

Um, hey. When did you arrange for everyone to come? We just decided to do this ourselves.

Sonny: I made the rounds this morning, extended some invitations, you know.

Nina: I knew you were up to something when you left the penthouse.

And Dante sends his congratulations and best wishes.

Nina: Yeah, well, we will miss him and we will miss the family that couldn’t come, but I’m gonna focus in on the family that could. I’m thrilled that you’re here. This is the best wedding present I could ever ask for.

Alexis: Looks like Judge Kim doesn’t miss an opportunity for a high-profile case.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Alexis: Yep. Oh. Yeah. Send her in.

[ Knock on door ]

Alexis: Come on in! Hey. Hi. Carly. Hi. What brings you here?

Carly: Well, Sonny told me that he asked you to look into the judge who gave Drew that ridiculous sentence.

Alexis: Yeah, that’s all here. I’ve been researching that for most of the day.

Carly: Great. Full disclosure — I’m the one who asked Sonny to reach out to you. I also asked Diane to share any information that she’s discovered on judge Kim with you.

Alexis: I’m glad you did. Look, Carly, I have a vested interest in Drew, as well. He’s the father of my granddaughter, and I would like to see him come home to scout.

Carly: Have you had any luck?

Alexis: From what I can tell so far, I think there’s a strong possibility that there has been a miscarriage of justice.

Cyrus: This is a rare and special privilege. Just the two of us in this spacious room.

Ellen: It’s private. Cameras are off except during visiting hours. There’s no record of this meeting… like there would be if you came to see me in my office.

Cyrus: And why, warden, do you require such privacy? Just what is it you have in store for me?

Kristina: None of you have visited the island yet, right?

No, I haven’t.

Nina: You know, Sonny has told me all about it. He’d planned for us to go to the island, but Willow went through what she went through, so I wanted to be with her.

Willow: Even though you knew I didn’t want you there.

Nina: Well, I knew where I had to be.

Kristina: Well, both of you are going to love it. It’s gorgeous.

What’s it like?

Kristina: It’s a hotel and a casino, but there’s a private wing just for the family. And the gardens are just breathtaking.

Nina: Sonny told me about the gardens.

Kristina: Yeah, the smell from the flowers are everywhere. And it doesn’t matter what room you’re in, you can still hear the sea.

Well, this sounds like the perfect spot for a wedding.

[ Chuckles ]

Sonny: I want to thank you, Michael.

Michael: For what?

Sonny: For getting Willow to come to the wedding.

Michael: Well, actually, this was Willow’s decision.

Alexis: Judge Kim’s judicial record is solid. He’s an intelligent and an effective jurist.

Carly: That’s not the news I was looking for.

Alexis: But he has a pattern of interpreting the law in a way that lines up ideologically with special interests… who happen to be the ones that influence who sits on what bench and who gets promoted.

Carly: So Judge Kim rules the way these influential people want, and, in turn, he moves up the career ladder, whether or not his ruling is right or not.

Alexis: Very good. You get it. However, I haven’t been able to prove that there has been any quid pro quo of judge Kim accepting any favors or being unduly influenced by the special interests.

Carly: Well, I can help with that. I just found out there’s proof. And I can get it for you.

Ellen: Cyrus, I’m offended. I’m just doing my job, coming in and checking on your welfare. After all, you’re such a beacon of light to the other inmates. All your spiritual ministry that you deliver. It’s no wonder how we managed before without you.

Cyrus: You know, I do provide a valuable service which reflects quite well on your legacy here at Pentonville. It does, doesn’t it? Do you know how many inmates are engaged in self-improvement as a direct result of my guidance?

Ellen: Spare me the campaign speech. We’re alone, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Spare me your false concern for my welfare and get to the point. Why did you want to see me?

Ellen: Because… I’m out of here.

Maxie: Sorry for my outburst.

Lucy: No, no. Really. You do not have anything to apologize for.

Maxie: Okay. Well, let’s prepare for our staff meeting. We need to at least pretend we have a plan moving forward.

Well, on a happier note, Cody Bell is out of custody and Sasha’s home recuperating from all of her… mental problems.

Maxie: Yeah, I got some of the details from mac.

That is — thank you — good news.

Hey, um, did you have a chance to see Sasha?

Maxie: No, no. I’ve been giving her some space. I figured she needed some quiet time.

Lucy: Right. That — that’s a — that’s a very good idea after this ugly situation.

Maxie: Yeah. She can’t seem to catch a break.

Scott: Well, I heard Gladys hightailed it back to Westport, Bridgeport, some port that she’s from in Connecticut. Well, I guess, uh, you girls have work to do, so I’ll bid you adieu.

Uh, Maxie — we need to prepare an agenda for our meeting.

Yeah, yeah, uh, but that can wait.

For what?

I really, um, have something I need to say.

Brook Lynn: Is Gregory in the hospital?

Chase: Mnh-mnh.

Brook Lynn: Where is he?

Chase: Honestly, I-I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: Well, do I need to call Finn? Does he know what’s going on?

Chase: Oh, Finn knows. So does your grandmother.

Brook Lynn: What? My grandmother knows?

Chase: I am the only one who didn’t know that my father was dying. They all kept it from me like I am a child or like I couldn’t handle it. I-I don’t know. I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: What’s, um — what’s Gregory’s diagnosis?

Chase: My father has… amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It’s ALS.

Lucy: I have been doing a lot of thinking today.

Maxie: Can I go first?

Lucy: Oh. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead.

Maxie: Okay. Great. Thank you. Maybe we should just find a buyer for the 25% and call it a day. At least then we would end up with something.

Lucy: Just hold that thought, okay?

Maxie: Lucy.

Lucy: No, really. Hold the thought. Get the staff together for a meeting. And no agenda necessary.

Chase: When I got home, I got my phone out to research ALS. I wanted to see how this disease was gonna take over my father’s life… how it would progress. I want to know how much time I had left with my dad.

Brook Lynn: That’s understandable.

Chase: But then I started scrolling through photos on my phone, and I saw all these great shots of my dad. Us camping together. Tea parties with violet. Hanging out in the stands at a chuck game. And then all these random shots of us at dinner and… …just watching sports on the sofa. And he looks so great in all of them. So vital a-and young for his age. And… it’s like there was nothing wrong with him. Like nothing ever could be wrong with him. And now… all I can think about… …is that young, vital man, my hero… …my dad… he’s gonna be in a wheelchair. And he’s not getting out of it.

Gregory: I should have told Chase. Him learning I have ALS should have come from me. How did he find out?

Finn: It was, uh — it was by mistake.

Gregory: How does a mistake like that happen?

Finn: He was arresting someone, and he got pepper sprayed, so he came by the hospital to get his eyes flushed out. And afterwards, I told him to wait in the lounge, right? And his eyes were all sort of bloodshot and teary. And Tracy Quartermaine saw him, and I think she kind of jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Gregory: Tracy told Chase?

Finn: Yeah, I’m not — I’m not sure what was said initially, but whatever it was, it made Chase suspicious. I saw them talking across the hub. And by the time I knew what was going on, it was too late. Tracy had told Chase.

Gregory: I can’t believe this. So, obviously, Chase knows that I already told you.

Carly: There’s a regular that comes into Kelly’s, and I’ve been talking to him lately. He’s a pilot for a private jet that belongs to a billionaire named Asher alexander. And the pilot told me the downside of his job is that whenever Mr. Alexander wants to go on a trip and for however long he wants to stay, the pilot must go with him.

Alexis: Tough life.

Carly: Right. Well, the last trip they went on was to an island in the Caribbean. Took a group of guys down there to go deep-sea fishing. Guess who one of the passengers was.

Alexis: Judge Albert Kim?

Carly: That’s right.

Willow: So, what made you and Sonny decide to elope?

Nina: Well, it started with just, ugh, this whole big stack of wedding materials that Olivia delivered to me from the metro court, and it got a bit overwhelming, and I kept putting off going through them.

Kristina: Thank you!

Nina: “Thank you” for what?

Kristina: I am the queen of procrastination. So I find it quite reassuring to know that Nina, the super-organized Nina, is also someone who succumbs to procrastination sometimes, too.

[ Laughter ]

Kristina: What about you, Willow? Are you as organized as you seem, or are you a secret procrastinator like Nina?

Michael: Well, Willow and I discussed whether we should attend the wedding or not. Ultimately, I left the decision up to her. Well, here we are.

Sonny: Michael, come on. We both know it’s not that simple.

Cyrus: You’re “out of here.” Are you going on vacation?

Ellen: No. I’m out permanently.

Cyrus: This seems sudden.

Ellen: There’s nothing sudden about it. I’ve been working towards this for a while, and it’s finally happening. I can’t wait to see port Charles, Sonny Corinthos, and this whole infected place from my rear-view mirror.

Cyrus: Where are you headed?

Ellen: Texas. Land of the free.

Cyrus: Another prison?

Ellen: All of them. I’ll be overseeing all of the federal prisons in the state.

Cyrus: What about me?

Ellen: You’ll get yours.

Maxie: First, thank you, everyone, for coming. Um, I know this has not been the easiest time for us. Lucy and I, we really appreciate you sticking by us and working hard. As soon as Lucy gets here, we have an important announcement to make about the future of deception.

Woman: Why don’t you save us the time and just give us the bad news?

Maxie: Uh, let me — let me check and see where Lucy is. You know what? She — she must be on her way. So let’s just give her a few minutes. Oh! What are you doing here, Scott?

Scott: Beats me. Lucy wanted me to come back.

Maxie: What?

Alexis: You’re certain that the pilot said it was Judge Kim on that fishing trip in the Caribbean?

Carly: Yeah, I wanted to make sure, so I looked up judge Kim’s picture on the court website, and the pilot confirmed it. I mean, unfortunately, the pilot signed a non-disclosure agreement, so he can’t say who flies with him on the record, but…

Alexis: Non-disclosures are my specialty. There’s usually a way around them. What I want to know is, did the pilot give you the date of this trip?

Carly: Dates and times.

Alexis: [ Gasps ]

Carly: Apparently they all went down there to go fishing.

Alexis: So the next thing we do is we check judge Kim’s calendar, see if the dates match and if he disclosed his destination.

Gregory: Does Chase blame you for not telling him?

Finn: Everything happened so fast. But he was definitely upset when he left the hospital. And I don’t blame him for being angry at me. I handled this all wrong.

Gregory: No, no, son. I’m not gonna let you blame yourself for this. None of it. T-this was all on me. This is my disease. And I’m Chase’s father. It was on me to tell my son. It wasn’t your responsibility. I was selfish. I shouldn’t have waited so long and delayed the inevitable for as long as I did. And now, because of me, Chase is paying the price.

Chase: I can’t help but think about the time that I spent in a wheelchair. I mean, I-I hoped and prayed that one day I would recover and walk again. And that day that I stood up for the first time… was one of the sweetest moments of my life.

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

Chase: But for my dad… …he won’t get that recovery.

Brook Lynn: This has to be crushing Gregory. How much do you know about ALS?

Chase: Very little. I mean, I did that ice-bucket challenge a few years ago. At that time, I learned that it is degenerative, that there’s no cure, there’s no stopping it.

Brook Lynn: Okay, well, I’m gonna help you find out everything that we can so we know exactly what we’re dealing with, okay?

Chase: I… I j– I — I can’t. Not right now. I-I can’t even imagine what I’m gonna have to say to him the next time I see him.

Brook Lynn: Okay.

Willow: Yes. I have always been one of those annoying organized people.

Kristina: But admit it. How often are you making to-do lists?

Willow: Almost every night. What? I feel comfortable knowing what I have to do the next day and then being able to check it off as I do it. Which is why Michael and I are so perfect together.

Are you serious? Wait.

Willow: Michael is the complete opposite.

Really?

Yes! Oh, he is so unorganized. He’s a mess. I mean, listen, Michael is a great businessman. He’s brilliant. But organization? Not his strong suit.

Busted.

[ Laughter ]

You know, why don’t I put my organizational skills to good use?

How?

By helping you with the wedding. What can I do?

Sonny: It would have been simple enough to refuse my invitation when I asked you.

Michael: I thought the invitation was for both of us. I mean, I wasn’t gonna speak for my wife.

Sonny: Yeah, but you could have made it clear to Willow that she could go to the wedding but you’re not going. Why didn’t you?

Ellen: You do find a way to make it all about you, Cyrus, don’t you? You’ll be fine. You want to know why?

Cyrus: Oh, I’m sure you’ll tell me.

Ellen: Because I have great trust in your ingenuity. You’re like a cat, Cyrus. You always find a way to land on your feet. But now I don’t have to clean up your messes. My promotion came through, and I’ll be in Texas.

Cyrus: You’re welcome.

Ellen: [ Scoffs ] You always take credit for everything.

Cyrus: God helps those who help themselves.

Ellen: And you definitely help yourself, don’t you, Cyrus?

Cyrus: There is just one more thing before you go.

Lucy: …And I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work. That hard work has made deception the incredible company that it is today. Now, I-I’m sure you’ve all heard — and you’re probably talking about it — that we have been hit with a very frivolous lawsuit, one that threatens the very future of deception. Um, and in saying that, that means that we have to make some very, very difficult decisions. Now, those decisions will affect everybody’s lives in this room. Okay, so, on the table is a deal where we would completely relinquish control of deception and we would only be left with 25% stake. Well, obviously, that is unacceptable. Come on. Look at us. We have worked so very hard and we have sacrificed so much to just give in to some — some corporate bully. So in talking to several legal advisors, um… and at a fairly significant personal cost, there is another deal on the table, one that we will retain 49% of the company. So what that means is, going forward, that deception can go on in perpetuity, improving and growing and being amazing for decades to come. You know, I guess what I’m trying to say is I just feel like deception is more than beauty, right? I mean, we’re sustainability and innovation and inspiration. But you know what we also are? We’re really a family. I mean, to me, you’re all my family, one that I have grown to love and to cherish. And I am not gonna let that get away from me. I am keeping it forever. So what I’m trying to say is nobody’s gonna be allowed to take anything else away from us because we are family, fierce, fantastic. And anybody that tries to fight us, we will battle them, and they cannot win if we all just stick together.

[ Applause ]

Brook Lynn: Chase. I’m so, so sorry. This is terrible news. I love Gregory. He’s so smart and funny, and he’s been so welcoming and accepting of me. You know, the thing I love most about your dad is how much he loves your family. You two have such a sweet bond, you know? You’re so close.

Chase: Just not close enough for him to tell me about his diagnosis.

Brook Lynn: I’m sure he intended to. Look. I have to apologize.

Chase: For what?

Brook Lynn: Tracy. She inserted herself where she has absolutely no business.

Chase: Well, if she hadn’t, I still wouldn’t know that my dad has ALS. Although, if I’m being honest, I kind of wish I didn’t.

Brook Lynn: Would it be okay if I stepped out for a little while? There’s just something I want to take care of.

Chase: Yeah. Sure.

Brook Lynn: What are you gonna do?

Chase: I’ll probably just sit here, collect my thoughts, and maybe do a little research.

Brook Lynn: Okay. I love you. So, so much.

Chase: I love you, too. And thank you for listening.

[ Door closes ]

Gregory: I am such a coward for not telling Chase I have ALS.

Finn: Hey. You are not a coward. Don’t do that to yourself. You’re going through a lot.

Gregory: It was bad enough… admitting the truth to myself and then to you. Ever since I was diagnosed, I’ve just been imagining sitting down and — and telling Chase. Imagining the — the look of pain and fear on his face, watching that perpetual optimistic smile of his fade away. Just been dreading it. Or — I don’t know. Maybe — maybe I’ve just been protecting myself. Because as long as Chase didn’t know, then… some little part of me could stay in denial.

Finn: There’s no right way to do this. But I know one thing. You are a hell of a father. I think you’re the best. And I know you’ll do whatever Chase needs, okay?

Alexis: Bingo! Turns out that judge Kim was on vacation the exact dates the pilot provided.

Carly: So that’s great.

Alexis: What it doesn’t say on the calendar is that he was on a fishing trip in the Caribbean or that he was with a politically influential billionaire. And if I were a betting gal, I would say that he didn’t put it on his tax returns that it was a gift.

Carly: Okay. Is this enough? Is this enough to put pressure on Judge Kim to reduce Drew’s sentence?

Alexis: Depends on one thing.

Carly: What’s that?

Alexis: How it’s presented to him.

Nina: Thank you for your offer to help, but Sonny insists that all we have to do is show up.

Kristina: You know, the staff in Puerto Rico is gonna take care of everything. The staff is amazing. You will want for nothing. And the food. Oh! The chef has a Michelin star, so you’re both in for some incredible meals and desserts. And he is taking care of the wedding cake.

Ooh! I can’t wait.

But, really, if you need any help on the actual day with prep — I don’t know — someone to zip up your dress or — or the whole “old, new, borrowed, blue” thing…

Nina: Oh. The “old, new, borrowed, blue” — not needed here. But I would like it if both of you could help me get ready.

Okay! It would be my pleasure to help.

Michael: When I told Willow about your invitation, I let her know that the choice to attend was completely up to her.

Sonny: I see.

Michael: But she wanted to know how I felt.

Sonny: What’d you tell her?

Michael: I told her that I wanted to come. You know, we’re family. And family should show up for big moments in life. Like getting married.

Ellen: Don’t worry, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Oh, I’m not worried, but our business isn’t finished yet. Everything we discussed is still happening. You just need to sit tight and be patient. I can trust you?

Ellen: Trust? Trust doesn’t mean anything now, Cyrus. I’ve erased all of our interactions, eliminated any trace. We’re done.

Cyrus: Who’s replacing you?

Ellen: I don’t know. And, frankly, I don’t care. I’ve done my part. And now you’re on your own.

Donna and Wiley are all buckled in.

They were asleep?

Yeah. They didn’t even budge when I checked their seatbelts.

We’re almost there.

I’m really looking forward to it. And I think Wiley’s going to have a great time on the island.

Sonny: So tomorrow you’re gonna be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. We’re gonna start a new chapter in our life. And I cannot wait to see where that leads us.

Nina: Me too. You have made me the happiest woman on earth.

Cyrus: I’m actually sorry to see you go.

Ellen: I wish I could say the same, Cyrus, but I can’t.

Cyrus: I have one final question.

Ellen: Ellen: One more is all you get.

Cyrus: Any word on my friend Drew Cain?

Why in the world would you care about Drew Cain?

Cyrus: The man saved my life like Daniel was saved in the lion’s den.

Ellen: Well, it’s a hard den out there, Cyrus. And not everybody is as lucky as Daniel. But rest assured… Drew Cain will be taken care of. And this time, for good.

Carly: Thank you, Alexis. I really appreciate this. And I know it’s gonna mean a lot to Drew.

Alexis: I’m really happy to help. Do you still have the contact information for that pilot?

Carly: I do.

Alexis: Well, use it, will you? See if you can find out anything more. Anything you can find out will be helpful.

Carly: Do you really think the judge is gonna take the bait?

Alexis: I think from what I know about him so far, he’s gonna have a real hard time resisting talking about himself or bragging about his accomplishments to the press. I need to get him in here for an interview, I need to get him talking, and hopefully he won’t stop. Just give him enough rope. And then we got him.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Lucy, that was a great speech.

Lucy: I know. Wow. But, hey, seriously, I just — I couldn’t let you and everybody else sink because of horrible Tracy Quartermaine. Not on my watch.

Maxie: Thank you. You’re a great friend.

Lucy: Did you happen to see where Scott went?

Scott: You know, Lucy, this decision is crazy. But it’s my kind of crazy. So… let’s celebrate.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Hey, michael. Hey. I wasn’t expecting to see you today. Well, it’s kind of a last-minute kind of thing. Well, must be important if you decided to come all the way down here instead of call me. Is that a problem? No, no, just — just, uh, unusual. Well, you know, maybe I’m trying to be a little more spontaneous in my old age. So, uh… what brings you here? Well, I know I shouldn’t be asking this, but… I need a favor that only you can do for me. Hey, anna. Hi. Oh, there you are. Hello. Appreciate you meeting me. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. I have to say, I was a bit surprised by the invite. You know, I’ve been looking out for you since the shooting at the metro court. Yeah. I appreciate that. I’m being very cautious. I — one eye over my shoulder, because apparently, I’ve got a target on my back now. Has anything happened? Like threats or anything like that? No. That’s good — good to hear. Is that why you asked to see me? Because you want to check up on me? No. I just want to let you know that I’m gonna be gone for a few days. If you need anything — and I mean anything — you know, I’m just a phone call away. I cannot remember how long it’s been since you have visited me at my office. This must be really important. What did I do to deserve this visit? It’s not what you’ve done. It’s what you’re gonna do. You see, typically when someone wants me to do a favor for them, they ask me nicely and say, “please.” What do you need? Put this paper to good use… and save a man’s life. Just tell me when and where, and I’m there. That’s my girl. I’m actually really excited about it. Yeah. And after everything you’ve done for me lately, how could I possibly say no? Thank you. Uh… I know I could always count on you. Wow. Well, that is not something I hear every day, and it’s so nice. Hey, diane, can, uh, you give me a call? I just want some kind of an update on when they plan on taking drew back to pentonville.

[ Knock on door ] Um…I-I just need to know. Thanks. Hey. Hey, carly. Um, I know this must be difficult for you. I mean, nobody wants drew to go back to prison. I mean, I keep hoping diane’s gonna call and tell me that she’s figured out some kind of loophole to stop drew from going back there, but… and you know that we’re looking into the judge to see if we can find some kind of bias, but that seems to be a long shot. So, I don’t know. Yeah, she’s doing everything she can. There’s nobody more tenacious than diane. The girls are in school. You know that. So, you must be here to see me. You guessed right. Okay. Please tell me this isn’t bad news. Please. Well, it — it kind of depends on your perspective. That’s cryptic. What’s going on? Uh, nina and i are eloping.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. I, uh, came by to see if things were any better with charlotte. Nina, come in. Oh, this place, valentin, is so beautiful. Charlotte must be so thrilled to finally be in her own home with her dad. What’s wrong? What happened? Who’s the suit? Oh, it’s a gift from sonny. Can you send it back? No. Well, tell me, where does sonny get off sending a goon over here to keep an eye on you? He has a very caring side. Yeah, so did attila the hun. He was worried about me, and he wanted to offer me protection, uh, which I refused, first of all, but I didn’t think I needed it. And now you do? I changed my mind. Did something happen? What? Other than the recent disturbing events? No. And nothing has happened in the last 24 hours since I’ve had protection. And, so you’re living in the metro court? Yeah. Until I move into the new place. Valentin has bought a house for us. Uh, w-wait. When did you go house hunting? I didn’T. He bought the house on his own. Heh. Eh, well, he could have at least made you part of the process.

[ Chuckles ] Unless, of course, you think he’s hiding something. He’s always hiding something. But the house isn’t part of that. You know, this was really meant to be a surprise. Mm. And he is nothing if not full of those.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, he certainly is. How’d it go with sonny? How did you know he was — you know, esme has to quit sharing every visitor that comes into my office. And it’s not that I have anything to hide. It’s just she needs to learn a little discretion. Esme is not to blame. When a notorious coffee importer shows up here, people tend to talk, and usually in hushed tones. Sonny’s good fodder for the water cooler. Mm-hmm. Well, they’re gonna be very disappointed because he just came to ask for a favor. Nothing illegal, I hope. Mnh-mnh. He wanted to see if “the invader” could help leverage judge albert kim. Eh, he’s the judge that sentenced drew cain to three years in pentonville. What outcome is sonny hoping for? Carly thinks the judge’s sentence was unnecessarily harsh, and we’re hoping maybe we could get the sentence reduced or at the very least, have him moved to a safer facility. Just how does sonny suggest you do that? That’s what we have to figure out. Wow. Eloping, huh? What happened to the big blowout wedding you were planning? Well, I wasn’t planning the wedding. I just told nina she could do whatever she wants with the wedding. I know olivia was helping. Was that tough for you? No. I’m a big girl, you know? Olivia can do what she wants, and we’re too close for something like that to bother me. Well, there’s just so many details, and, you know, things like that. A w-wedding should be about a celebration, not a deadline. Just surprising considering all the noise nina was making about, you know, her big wedding celebration. Well, you know what? Uh, we’re just going to fly down to the island. It’s not gonna be a big deal. It’s gonna be a small ceremony. It’s just, uh… me and nina and whatever kids are — are able to go. Kids. That’s why you’re here? Well, I-I would love if donna could go. It would, you know, mean everything, if you’re okay with that.

Nina, I’m lost. I am just totally lost. Charlotte and i used to be so close, and now I feel like I don’t even know her. Yeah. I know. This must be so difficult for you. Not just me. She’s gonna need professional help. I’ve been trying to find her a therapist. Well, it might take you a while to find someone because she’s in a very serious situation, valentin. You’re gonna have to find the doctor who’s the right fit. I’ve always been able to talk to you, haven’t I? I mean, no matter how raw it gets, you understand me, don’t you? Better than anybody. Probably even anna. I don’t know how it got this way. I mean, this is my little girl we’re talking about. We are going to figure this out, okay? Together. Where is charlotte now? She’s on a bike ride. That’s why I’m doing research and making phone calls. So, you haven’t said anything to her? No, I-I-I just don’t know what I would say if she lied to me, if she denied it. I mean, I don’t know how I would react. Why is this happening? Did I do something to make her act out like this? You told dad what? I explained that I couldn’t go to the wedding, but I’d go to the next one. Okay, that’s not even funny, dante. I’m just kidding. So, you are gonna go? You didn’t turn him down? No, I’m not kidding about that part. I’m telling the truth about that part. I don’t — you have to come. Seriously. Dad asked you to be his best man, didn’t he? Uh, yeah, he did, and I’m honored. I just — I-I can’t go away right now. Right. No, I — that I do get, ’cause the pcpd softball team — I’m sure they really need their star pitcher. Ha-ha-ha. Very funny. Yeah, they probably do, but, no, I just got a lot of stuff going on here. Well, what stuff is more important than dad’s wedding? Charlotte was living with us, now she’s moved out. Uh, scout’s father, drew — we’re dealing with the fact that he’s behind bars. It’s been tough on her. I mean, my job is — look, you seem more annoyed than sonny did. He — he took this a lot better than you. I-I just think you should come, and I-I think it’s important that we be there to support dad. I agree. But dad knows I support him. We’ve had our ups and downs. He knows — he knows I’m behind him and nina’s relationship. Alright. Well, nothing can keep me away. Well, that’s good. You’ll be representing. I don’t think I’ll be the only one, actually. Oh. Dad asked michael to come. Really? Yeah. Well, that’s big, considering the place they’re in. What did michael say? Excuse me. How can I help you? I’m looking for my wife, willow corinthos. She’s a nurse here. Um, I think she’s still on break, but let me check for you. Okay, thank you. I’ll wait here.

[ Exhales sharply ] I wanted to tell you in person. Well, usually when somebody says that, it’s not good news. Well, it’s good news for me, at least. Nina and I are eloping. We’re going down to the island. Oh. Um… well, I-I guess congratulations are in order. Michael, I know times have been tough this past year, but I think we’ve moved past that, haven’t we? Yeah, I mean, everything that happened to willow helped me realize how important family is. Yeah, but nina is your family, so, I mean… I know there’s been a strain between you two, but — yeah, that’s an understatement. But she’S… …she’s tried to really make an effort between you and willow, and nothing would make her happier than spending time with amelia and wiley. Look, I-I have to admit, things have been better with nina. You know, she– she’s trying to respect our boundaries. Nothing would mean more to nina than to have willow at that wedding, and it would mean a lot to me to have you there. So, is there any chance that… you’ll go? This is not your fault. I-I-I wish I had the answers. She is a teenage girl, and teenage girls can be very complicated. This is the cassadine curse, isn’t it? None of this godforsaken family gets to be happy. Please, valentin, do not go there. This is — has nothing to do with a curse, okay? You and charlotte are not doomed. She’s an adolescent who got herself into trouble. She’s struggling, but we will get her help. So overwhelming.

[ Sighs ] I’m sure anna’s been supportive. What does she think? I haven’t told her. I mean, how am I going to tell her that my daughter is the one who’s been tormenting her? You know, if charlotte’s the one who set the fire, she’s going to be facing very serious criminal charges. Mm. Well, we just have to be very grateful that no one was in the house. I mean, if charlotte did do this, she made sure of that. Is that supposed to make me feel better? I’m — I’m just making the point, valentin. She’s not trying to hurt anna. She’s not a murderer. She’s just crying out for help. No, it’s more than that. She’s terrorizing the woman that I love, and I’m trying to keep that from escalating, but am I doing the wrong thing by not telling anna? Y-you know how much donna loves weddings. Of course she can go. Thank you. Because you know how happy she was at michael’s wedding. Yeah. Hopefully both girls can go. Well, that’s the plan. Have you talked to ava? Because avery wouldn’t want to miss it. I called ava. She hasn’t, uh, gotten back to me yet, but I hope there’s no problem there, because it would not be the same without avery. Well, it looks like you thought of everything for your tropical ceremony. Well, you know, um… I’m trying, you know? I think I covered all the bases. Oh, no, wait. That favor that you asked for drew? I’m working on it. Well, let’s hope it comes in time to save drew. Are you sure you want to get into this? I mean, I’ve heard a lot of stories about people who do sonny’s bidding, and sometimes, it doesn’t end well. You think? I’m very well aware of the “methods” sonny uses to handle things. This time, he would like it handled legitimately. Are you sure you and sonny don’t share any similarities? Why, I think I am offended, professor chase. No. I-I don’t know sonny well, but from what I hear, he has a reputation for ruthlessness. I know firsthand how ruthless you can be when it comes to the pursuit of truth in journalism. Really? Do go on. I’m just saying that y-you’re a force of nature when it comes to business, and that’s — that’s a good thing, by the way. This is really very entertaining, watching you try to dig yourself out of the hole you just dug yourself into. Trying to compliment me after you call me ruthless? That is some fancy footwork. Well, unfortunately, that’s the only footwork I’m still capable of these days.

I know that he wants to make peace with dad. There’s definitely been a lot less tension lately. Yeah, but that’s a far cry from michael attending the wedding. But, you know, they have to start somewhere if they want to get back to where they were. Well, I don’t know if they’ll ever get back to where they were, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. So, is michael going to the wedding or not? I don’t know. I hope so. But I’ll tell you one thing — I am not excited to be on an island with him and nina for the next few days. Wait, I thought you were team nina? I am. I like nina. A lot. Most importantly, dad loves her, but I haven’t forgotten what she did to michael and willow. That’s some serious damage, and we both know how our brother holds a grudge. Yeah, kind of just like dad. Dad. Yeah. Hey, blaze. Hey, kristina. Hi. Oh, this is my brother, dante. We meet again. Michael: I cannot give you an answer right now until I talk to willow first. I get it. I-I just hope that willow does this for nina, because the — the ceremony wouldn’t be the same without wiley there, right? She wants wiley to be the ring bearer, like he was at your wedding, because he’s — he’s — he’s a pro now. Yeah, yeah. Um… it’s just, uh, willow has a lot going on right now and she — she just got back to work. Uh… I’m not sure she’s gonna want to drop all that and — and get on a plane. Okay, I just — I just want you to think about it. Michael, I heard you were looking for me. Is everything alright? Did something happen with the kids? I just don’t know what to do. We can’t involve the police. No, no, valentin, we are not bringing the police into this. She’s a — she’s a teenager. She’s 15 years old. Okay? If — if — if she did do this and the police find out, they will send her away. No, you cannot let that happen. We’re just gonna — we’re gonna have to handle this ourselves. And how are we gonna do that? We’re gonna find another way to get through to charlotte. Hey. We’re not giving up on her.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I’ve always appreciated your support. Well, even though we went our separate ways, valentin, I will always care about you and charlotte. I love her.

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t know what I’d do without your help. Yeah, about that. Um… well, you’re gonna have to deal with this on your own. That’s why I came by, to tell you. I’m leaving town. So, I think valentin feels that this house is a way for him to focus on his daughter. You know, charlotte, he feels, needs a more stable environment. She’s had a very tough year. Weren’t you telling me that victor is keeping her at a boarding school? Right, and then when she did finally come home, she’s been bouncing from house to house. First it was laura’s, and then it was sam and dante. That’s not to say that they weren’t there for her, but, you know, very supportive, but she’s 15, and along with that age comes anxiety and insecurity. Yeah. Mac was having a problem with robin like that. Charlotte needs her father’s undivided attention. I totally understand that, you know? I think maybe valentin feels providing a house for her is the first step in putting her on more solili meantime, you’re roughing it in a hotel. Well, god, I mean, I don’t call room service roughing it. I thought you didn’t want me with valentin. I don’T. However, you should have the final choice on where you live. Okay, so, why don’t we just agree to disagree when it comes to the subject of my relationship with valentin? Okay. So, I asked you here because I need your help. With? Something crucial.

Uh, I paid alexis a visit and suggested she look into the matter for us. You suggested? Well, I got — you know, pretty much politely demanded, is more of a way of saying it. I told her she needs to use that paper and her investigation skills to look into judge kim, because we have to figure out why he gave drew such a harsh sentence. Sonny, we need to do more than look into judge kim. We’ve got to get the judge to commute drew’s sentence or send him to a safer facility. I mean, does alexis understand that? Okay, alexis knows that the goal is to get drew out of pentonville, but it’s not gonna happen overnight. First thing she needs to do is a deep dive into kim’s record. We have to figure out what makes him vulnerable, and then we have an opening. You think alexis is gonna come through? I am confident that she’ll deliver for us. Sorry. That was meant to be a joke, but clearly it didn’t land. You have every right to handle your disease any way you see fit, and if you want to joke about it, joke about it. Go for it. You don’t have to edit your words with me. I’m gonna follow your lead. I feel like I’m constantly thanking you for being understanding, but thank you again. You don’t need to keep thanking me or apologizing. Well, what’s that quote from that movie? “Friendship means never having to say you’re sorry.” I think that’s “love means…” I just… you just don’t need to keep thanking me. I still haven’t told chase. I know you keep telling me to wait until I’m ready, but when will that be? I can’t keep hiding behind my work here, and I wake up some mornings so determined to go over there and tell him the truth, but then I find myself here instead. And I used to lecture my students about procrastination, tell them putting off that term paper won’t make it any easier. This is a little bigger than a homework assignment. Look, you’re gonna tell chase when you tell chase. I’m just being selfish. I just want more time with my son before he looks at me with pity, only sees the disease and not his father. Well, I think you’re wrong, and I don’t think he’s gonna react that way at all, but — but, you know, you’ll — you’ll do what feels right for you, and I-I’m not judging you. Speaking of judges, how are we gonna handle judge kim? Hey, good to see you again. Nice to see you, too. Oh, dante was my hero at the nurses’ ball. Oh. I don’t like to brag.

[ Chuckles ] Since when?

[ Chuckles ] Often. Mm. After brook lynn outed linc on stage, dante grabbed him and dragged him out of the metro court. Nice work, detective. Just doing my job, ma’am. Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot. My brother, the knight in shining armor.

[ Chuckles ] And don’t think I forgot how nice you were the day we ran into each other at kelly’S. Oh — oh, yeah. Wow. That was — that was a few months ago. No, we, uh — we saw blaze a-at — at kelly’s, and — and rocco had been watching her music videos. He was a big fan, and then I saw you guys at rice plaza. You guys were great, but you were so gracious to us. Thanks. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you two are practically bffs. Who would have guessed that? No, no, everyone’s fine, okay? Sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. Oh… well, it must be something important for you to come all the way to gh. Yeah. Look, I, uh… wanted to tell you that sonny paid me a visit earlier, and, um… apparently, he and nina are eloping in puerto rico. Okay. Uh, the last time I spoke to nina, she was knee-deep in wedding planning. It sounded like a huge event here in port charles. I guess she changed her mind. Does this mean we get out of going to the wedding?

[ Chuckles ] No, no. No such luck. Um, we’re definitely on the guest list. Sonny wants us to fly down to puerto rico. You’re leaving town? It’s just for a few days. Don’t worry. And I-I feel silly talking about it, given everything that you’re going through, but sonny and I — we’re going to puerto rico. We’re eloping. You’re — you’re eloping? Yeah. I thought you were having a big wedding at the metro court? Yeah, well, that was the plan, but it got complicated, and it was really stressful, and we just want to get married as soon as possible, and the best solution was to have a small ceremony on sonny’s island. Well, if that’s what you want, I’m happy for you. Hey. You can always call me. I’m not gonna call you. I’m not gonna interrupt your wedding. I sure don’t need sonny after me. Besides, laura’s coming back from london and we’re gonna figure out what to do with charlotte together. Papa? Are you keeping things from me?

You know I’m gonna do whatever you want, so what do you need? Alright. Let’s just look at the recent events, starting with the shooting at the pool. I think that bullet was meant for sonny, not me. He’s got his fair share of enemies. Well, so do I, but I think I’m being targeted in a completely different way. I don’t follow. Alright. After the shooting at the pool, my house was torched, and then my room here was vandalized. Now, what does that tell you? Your enemy’s toying with you. They’re trying to break you down, you know? What do you want to do about that? Charlotte? You didn’t tell me nina was coming over. I was putting my bike away, and I saw her car out front. Oh, I’m so happy to see you. Hey, come here. It’s so nice to see you. How are you? Much better now that I’m living with papa. Yeah, it’s a beautiful place. Are you settling in okay? Yeah. Everything’s perfect. Can you stay and have lunch with us? Uh — uh — no. I’m so sorry. I-I just came over to, um, tell your dad that I was leaving town for a few days. Sonny and I are going to puerto rico. Cool. I wish papa and I could take a trip with you some day. Yeah, I’m not s-sure that a-anna would be so thrilled with that. Yeah, I know, but I was just thinking how great it would be if we could go to europe. Remember, we used to always talk about doing that? That’s right. That is — that is right. Hey, how about this? Why don’t we plan a girls trip, just you and me? And you know what? Maybe I can convince maxie to allow georgie to come with us. You — you like georgie, right? Yeah. I used to see her a lot when my mom was still here, but I’d rather just go alone with you if papa can’t come with us. Yeah. It’s a deal. I love you, nina. Oh, I love you. Alexis: [ Sighs ] Looks like judge kim has a number of high-profile cases. His opinions he wrote for his decision read like bait for a promotion. Can you elaborate on that for those of us that didn’t attend law school? From what I can tell, it seems like he’s trying to impress the judicial board in hopes of a higher appointment. And how does he go about that? Yeah, when judges are trying to climb the ladder, they set new precedents, and they do that with their opinions, and what they want is for those precedents to be appealed and upheld. So, in simpler terms, it looks like judge kim is trying to get the attention from those above him, and if that’s the case, then maybe we can help him do just that. Thank you, for everything you’re doing for drew’s case. Drew’s a good man. He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him. And, I mean, him being in prison, it affects you, and no matter what has happened between us, you’re the mother of my children. I just want you to be happy. That means a lot. So, from all the research that diane has gathered, it looks like judge kim is hoping for a promotion to the federal bench. I’m thinking he’d be more than happy to meet with the press and cooperate. Yeah, that’s — that’s — that gives alexis a way in. That’s a good strategy. Yeah. It’s all we have for now. Do me a favor. Tell drew to sit tight ’cause I’m doing everything I can behind the scenes to get him out of there. I will. Hey, did you ever find out who austin was visiting in pentonville?

means that he’ll be about lawyers.

The look on your face,I’d say you have a plan. What are you thinking? My guess is this guy has an ego. Most judges do. I hear the same about lawyers. I’m not sure who’s worse.

[ Chuckles ] But what I think is this guy is really career-oriented. He wants to get ahead, which means that he’ll be very susceptible to the lure of publicity. And that’s where you come in. We call him in for an interview. We pump him up. We tell him that we’re interested in doing an article about his decisions, take some pictures, and hopefully, he’ll eat it up. And then you go in for the kill and ask him about drew’s sentence. Hmm. Good plan of attack, counselor. Like I said, ruthless. Unfortunately, we have no information on that yet. Uh, we don’t know who’s pulling the strings when it comes to austin and mason. And trailing betty didn’t turn up anything? Well, I had dex watching her every move, thinking that she would lead us to the boss, but, uh, that didn’t happen. We — we have somebody watching austin, and my guys are, you know, doing everything they can until I get back from the wedding. That’s what you should be concentrating on right now. Yeah, I know. And look, I’m gonna have donna all packed and ready to go. Can’t wait to see her face when I tell her. Please take a couple of pictures of her for me, okay? Okay. And let me know if you hear from ava, because she can just bring avery here and you can pick both girls up at the same time. Thanks. That — that means a lot. It’s been a painful couple years. Yeah. But I just want you to be happy, too. Yeah. I feel the same way. I’ll see you. Bye.

[ Door closes ] So, I am flying down to puerto rico later today for my dad’s wedding. Ooh, a destination wedding. How exciting. Well, they’re eloping. Thank god. Dante. What? No, I’m just telling it like it is. I think they’re being smart by — by keeping it a small family ceremony. Why do you say that? Because I feel like if they had a big wedding in port charles, they’d be asking for trouble. This is where you come in. I need your help because I am almost certain that this threat is coming from inside the wsb, someone with access to the bureau’s resources. You think this is the same person who outed you for being a double agent? I don’t know. I have my suspicions. I mean, just look at the timing. Think about it. None of this started until I was exposed in the press. It — it has to be connected. It has to be. It can’t just be a coincidence. This is revenge by someone who you wronged in a past case? Well, my actions back then hurt a lot of people. They might want payback. You haven’t been an active operative in years. Does somebody hold a grudge that long? I don’t know. I just really need your help in getting some information from inside the bureau.

[ Sighs ] Well, as I’ve said, my influence in there since frisco left is rather limited, and as for this new director, whatever influence I might have is gonna be

[Chuckles] Limited at best. Limited is better than non-existent. Please, will you help me? Find out what is going on and who is after me. It was so good to see you. Hey. Do you remember our handshake? Come on. Yeah. Do it. Alright, I’m gonna have to go to the gallery ’cause I’ve been trying to get ahold of ava with no luck, so I thought I would try her there. I miss you so much, nina. Please come over after your trip. I promise. Okay, see you soon. Okay. Thanks for coming. It meant a lot to charlotte. It’s good to see her smile. We’re gonna figure this out when I get back, okay?

[ Sighs ] Have a nice trip. Fly to an intimate wedding? It would be one thing if it was 200 guests at the metro court. Then we’d be able to blend into the background. But this… yeah, it would just be family, so we’d be front and center. I mean, I know I’ve been pushing you lately to accept nina, but this is a lot. You finally made peace with your dad and nina. It’s — it’s so new. Yeah, so do we really want to put it to the test? Charlotte… what happened to you?

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey. How’s my bride to be? I’m okay. You don’t sound okay. What’s wrong? It’s just — it’s been an emotional day.

[ Clears throat ] Where are you? Uh, I’ve been all over town doing things, but I’m finished now. I’m all yours.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. Well, you better get packing. We’re getting married.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, we are.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door opens ] So this is where you’ve been hiding out? I haven’t been hiding. I’ve been making a home for us. Charlotte: Papa, why is the door open? The met was amazing. Yeah. Were you really surprised? Yeah. I mean, I knew that we were going to the met, but a first-class tour through the archives? I didn’t expect that. Yeah, well, it makes me very happy to see you so happy. It was like a backstage pass to a taylor swift concert. Wow. I couldn’t believe that you did that for me. Well, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you, trina robinson. Enough? Feeling any better?

[ Groans ] Some. [ Sighs ] Thanks, bro. My eyes were really starting to burn. Okay. Yeah, listen, I know they teach the, uh — the gun safety there at the academy. What about the, uh — the pepper spray safety? Oh, that’s funny. I’ll have you know, your little brother was able to defuse a volatile situation without any gunfire. It was worth the collateral damage. Well, good. No driving for half an hour. That’s doctor’s orders. Yes, sir. I’ll, uh — I’ll see you in the lounge when you’re done. Thanks again. Okay.

[ Door opens ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

[ Elevator dings ] Dr. Finn! Congratulate me. Congratulations. Who’d you fire this time? Oh, sadly, no one. Ah. But I did just get reinstated to the hospital board. Hm.

[ Knock on door ]

[Muffled] Come in. I know you’re swamped, but did you get a chance to read my op-ed piece? I e-mailed it to you. And I will check my box as soon as I get a chance. I have a hard copy here. Save you some time. Okay. I’d love for you to read it. And I will. I’m almost done, and as soon as I finish this, I will read it. Thanks. Thanks. Oh.

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] Skydive. Visit the van gogh museum in amsterdam. Take violet to disneyland. Hot yoga. Read “anna karenina.” Hike machu picchu. Going to racing school. Let me ask you one question, gladys. How are you going to pay for this trip? ‘Cause I already know that you stole sasha’s money to pay back your gambling debt to selina wu. No, that’s not how it — shut up. I don’t want to hear any more lies. I’m gonna make sure that you don’t lie again. Do you understand what I’m saying? Sonny, please — no. What do you want? You want me to listen to more lies? You want me to ignore that you betrayed my trust, that you dishonored your own son and robbed his widow? Sonny, I never meant for — I don’t care what you meant! I know exactly what you did. And now you’re going to pay for it. Daniels, I need you to get a prisoner from the holding cell and bring him to interrogation one. Which prisoner, sir? Cody bell.

[ Screams ] What the hell are you doing here? Drop the syringe. Let sasha go. Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t take orders from mental patients who committed assault and kidnapping. He was trying to save me from you! And the other cuckoo bird sings. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I’m walking out of here, and I’m taking her with me.

Hi, charlotte. Hi. Anna. How do you like our home? Well, um… it’s lovely. Thank you. Jake asked if we could meet at the skateboard park. Really? I was thinking maybe we could — papa, please. He wants to show me a trick wyatt taught him. I finished all my homework at school. Okay, fine. Have fun. Be careful. I always am. Bye, papa. It was… lovely. [ Laughs ] Yeah, sorry about that. She’s enjoying the new house and being close to her friend jake. Sure. Come in. Anna. I owe you an apology. Ohh! I hate that we have to leave today. I know.

[ Sighs ] Our time here went by so fast, but I’m gonna remember every single moment. It was amazing watching you at the museum today. Watching me? Mm-hmm. You’re supposed to be looking at the art. Yeah, but I couldn’t take my eyes off you. I don’t know. You were so in your element. You seemed so happy. Seemed so intense. Be careful, spencer. You’re gonna make me fall in love with you even more. Me? Y-you’re in love with me? You know I am. I guess that works out pretty good, because I am crazy — I mean crazy — in love with you.

[ Knock on door ] So, what do you think? I’m sure it was perfect. Look, thanks, but I was really hoping you’d read it. I always respect your opinion. And I will. I-I’ll read it on my phone during one of my endless circulation meetings. Okay. Oh.

[ Sighs ] Board of directors? That’s a lot of work. What possessed you? My family has donated a great deal of money to this hospital, and I felt it would behoove me to make sure our investment isn’t mismanaged. Okay. Well, now that you’re, I guess, technically one of my bosses, I probably should pretend to be working. Backgammon thursday? Definitely. Okay. It’s time to come clean, gladys. You stole from sasha. And then when she was ready to get her money back, you hired a doctor to mess with her head.

[ Breathes shakily ] Actually, it was worse than that, sonny. What can be worse than that, sam? The doctor was gladys’ poker buddy, and he put sasha on a medication that made her hallucinate when taken in combination with her antidepressant. And that’s when she stabbed cody? I swear, I never asked him to drug sasha. When I found out what he was doing, I tried to make him stop. I did everything I could to set sasha free. Another lie! Sorry, chief. Cody bell isn’t here. What? He’s not in holding. He was let out in the custody of detective falconeri. Said he was taking him back to ferncliff. Oh, boy. Come on, let’s go. Dr. Montague: Get away from the door. You know this can never work. I know it can work. Mnh-mnh. There’s enough propofol in this syringe to turn sasha into sleeping beauty. Only all the prince charmings in the world would never be able to wake her up. Or if she’s just lucky, it’ll kill her. Is that how you want this fairy tale to end, mr. Bell? Don’t listen to him, cody. Shut up! I have nothing to lose now. And that makes a man brave. You want to gamble, cody? It’s gonna be okay, sasha. Dr. Montague: That’s right, sasha. Everything is going to be just fine. Dr. Montague? Oh, good. I’m gonna need your help, janice.

Call security, janice. Don’t listen to him. He kidnapped sasha and assaulted me. What are you doing, dr. Montague? He’s been drugging me since before I even got here. I’m gonna call security. You’re not going to move unless you want sasha’s death on your hands. Now, you listen to me. You are gonna make sure that every security door is open so me and my friend here can get out the back entrance. And if I hear any alarms go off when we walk out, she dies. And you are going to stay here, mr. Bell, or she dies. Now, janice! Cody!

[ Cody grunting ]

[ Both grunting ] Cody. If you wanted to set sasha free, you would have come to me. You would have told me what you did. That would have been thinking of her safety instead of trying to save your own skin. Yeah, but when has she ever cared about anyone else? Never. Never. That’s not true. Brando was everything. Yeah, bran– you said — you said brando was dead because you wanted to collect the insurance money. And then when my father got alzheimer’s, you wanted to worm your way into the family. No. No. I loved mike. Okay. Look. Do not lie to me again.

[ Sighs ] So, how did you manage to get us a private tour through the archives? I pulled a few strings. Oh, did you? Mm-hmm. I had no idea that you were gonna like it as much as you did, though. Are you kidding?

[ Laughs ] Seeing the artists’ work in different stages and hearing the tour guide just talk in such great detail — I loved it, and I feel like it’s gonna make me see art in a different way now. Yeah? How so? Mm. If I tell you, it’s gonna sound ridiculous. Tell me! Okay. Um… I feel like I’ve been looking at paintings through my eyes, my perspective only. And — and after learning about such amazing works of art, like the process, and the politics of the times, the materials, I feel like it helped me to see art from their perspective — like if I’m seeing it through their eyes. I’m sorry. I know that sounded ridiculous. I told you it would sound ridiculous. No, no. No, it doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. I think it makes perfect sense. Sorry. It was in with the article. It’s alright. I guess I was trying to decide what should be next on the list, and somehow the page got mixed up in the article. It’s a very impressive and diverse list. You helped me get rid of one of them. I saw that.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. What’s next? Skydiving.

[ Sighs ] What do you say? You want to help me knock another one off the list? Of course you’d have to pick that one first. Yes, monica, it was pointed out to me that the hospital board is a lot of work. Monica, I’ve got to go. I’ll see you at home. Chase? Are you alright? I’m fine. You’re clearly not fine. Did something happen to brook lynn? No. Is it your father? Did he fall down again?

The E.R.?I was just talking to finn. We should go get him. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. Slow down. What — what are you talking about? Well, you were crying, so I thought that — that my father fell? I got hit with some pepper spray. It’s nothing. Oh. Oh.

[ Laughs awkwardly ] Don’t they teach you how to use that stuff? I hope it — I hope you feel better. Oh, no, not so fast. Wait. You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s going on. Nothing’s going on. I was mistaken. Ms. Quartermaine, I can see that you know something that I don’T. Now tell me what it is. So do you really think it makes sense when I talk about art? Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Yeah. Trina, when you look at a painting, you don’t just see brushstrokes and style and… balance, I don’t know. [ Laughs ] No, I think that you see the — you see the artist’s intent and you see their passion and the underlying humanity of the painting. And it really doesn’t even come as a surprise to me because I think that that’s just who you are. That’s who you’ve been since the day that I met you. You’re a vibrant person. You’re an empathetic person. And you’ve completed parts of me that I never even knew needed to be completed. And what we were able to share together this weekend is… it’s all I’ve ever wanted.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve been keeping secrets.

[ Laughs ] So I see. Yeah. Well, you know what? So have I. I think that’s the pattern in our relationship. After the fire, you were so despondent, I went looking for another home, and I found this place. And the deal was difficult, so martin stepped in and finessed the negotiation. Oh, god, I knew he was involved. You did? Yes. Because I followed you here one day. I didn’t know who it was that you were meeting, but then I remembered that martin had come to our hotel room with paperwork for you to sign, so then it kind of all made sense. I have given you far too many reasons not to trust me. Yes, you have. Anna: I don’t understand. Why would you feel the need to keep this secret? You never loved my dad. And if he hadn’t gotten alzheimer’s, he’d have seen that. You saw it as an opportunity to come into the family saying how great family is, how much you believed in family. And I let you go along with it because it was m-my dad’s last days and I wanted them to be good days. Or maybe I just believed a bit. I don’t know. It was true. It was a lie, like everything else! You used my dad like you used your son and you used sasha. And I’m gonna tell you right now, the days of you using anyone are over. Cody, let him go. What the hell is going on? Oh, thank god you’re here. This man tried to kill me, and your own officer witnessed it. That’s a lie. Of course she would side with him. She is a very sick woman. And he broke her out of here. Did you see what happened? I called her for assistance. Before she was about to call security, this officer stopped mr. Bell. Is that what happened? No. Dr. Montague was holding that syringe on miss gilmore. He threatened to kill her if I didn’t let him escape. Cuff him. Detective, maybe you should read him his rights. Dante: Will do. Dr. Montague, you’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent… it’s finally over, sasha. Thank you, cody. Thank you.

No one can ever take away the time that we spent together this weekend. I’ll never forget it. And not just because of this beautiful necklace you gave me. This was actually a selfish gift. Now, whenever you wear it, I’ll be reminded of the incredible weekend that we had together, which I needed. It’s been so nice to have some time away from port charles and all of the distractions there. It’s made me see so much clearer just how much I love you.

[ Laughs ] I love you, too. You know, we still have time before we have to leave. Should we go out for one last meal?

[ Laughs ] You’re making it sound like we’re facing a firing squad. Well, I’m just trying to be considerate. I know that you haven’t eaten since breakfast, and you pointed out that one restaurant near lincoln center. Yeah, I’m a little hungry, but, um… I’d rather just eat here. At the hotel dining room? In bed. Oh, in bed? Oh, okay. That sounds pretty good. Room service it is. Valentin: At first, I kept it a secret because I-I didn’t know if we were gonna close, and I didn’t want to disappoint you. You didn’t want to disappoint me? Anna, I bought the house for you. Oh, for god’S… for us, so that we could move in here with charlotte. We could start a life together. Leave him there while you get the nurse’s official statement. So you thought cody should come to ferncliff for some official reason? Yeah. You know, mac, I thought it would look good on the department if he was evaluated, you know? Very clever. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, technically — you covered your ass. Yeah. So how did cody end up confronting montague? Well, montague was leaving ferncliff. Cody wanted to follow him, but I made him stay here, and I followed him. He looked like he was gonna leave. He took a turn down the dirt road near the entrance, ditched his car and came back here. And you got back here just in time to stop cody? Yeah. You know, this guy’s been drugging sasha for months, nearly killed her. Now, we got a solid witness in that nurse. Cody did good. Yeah, cody did good. That doctor’s going away for a long time. Thank you. I was so afraid this was all gonna blow up in our faces and dr. Montague would get away with it. But he didn’T. Yeah. And gladys won’t either. Can you excuse us for a second? Sure. Don’t — don’t — don’t — don’t leave me here with — I am sure sonny’s gonna do exactly what needs to be done. Sonny, please. Please.

[ Door closes ] I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. It was the gambling. It’s — it’s a disease, an addiction. And I had no control over it. I got in over my head and there was no way out. None of this was supposed to happen. But it did happen, gladys. And now you’re gonna pay. Look, chase, I-I think you should speak to your father. About what? My father only puts up with you because of brook lynn. So how could you know something about him falling that I don’t know? I didn’t say that I know anything. Tracy, damn it, just tell me what’s going on. I — oh, god, chase. Your father has als. Oh, my god. Pick something else. Alright. Skydiving is out. Machu picchu will have to wait. Yeah, definitely. I’ve got it.

[ Sighs ]

Ah, can’t we just stay like this forever? Yeah. I wish that the world worked that way. But there are people back in port charles who miss you, like your mom and your dad. Mm-hmm. Thinking about what happened to my dad made me realize how fragile life is. And thinking about what he’s going through right now makes me feel guilty for being so happy. No. Come on. No, they want you to be happy. Your mom might not be terribly pleased with the person who makes you happy, but — I-I just — I just think she’s being protective. Deep down, she knows that you’re a good person. She knows that you love your little brother and that you’d do anything to protect him. I just don’t want him to feel abandoned. He won’T.

[ Knock on door ] Man: Room service. Hey. Alright. You stay here. I’ll get it. Well, it certainly is a very beautiful house, valentin, in a gorgeous location. It’s perfect. I should have talked to you about it. I just wanted to ride in like your white knight and say, “here, anna, here’s a wonderful new home. Come live with me.” But I should have asked what you wanted. But you can’t blame me, ’cause all I’ve ever wanted is a life with you. Victor: My dearest charlotte, it is with a heavy heart that I must write to you and share my concerns about our family’s future, a family I cherish and would give my life for. My concern centers around your father and a path I believe he’s headed down, filled with unhappiness and danger. I’m afraid your father has gotten weak, charlotte. I had so much hope for him. But he’s forgotten how truly important family is since he’s fallen in love with anna devane. Anna has completely manipulated your father. She has taken advantage of his infatuation with her. God knows her charms escape me, but she’s used them to control your father. Her extensive training in espionage has afforded her the ability to mask who she really is. I tell you this — anna devane is not who she seems. Do not trust her. Not for a minute. And it is imperative you never forget you are strong, charlotte. The cassadine women are often the most formidable. Even if valentin brings anna further into your life, I know you’ll never succumb to her so-called charms. You won’t let her destroy what our family stands for. She is a liar, capable of treacherous deceit. Be wary and be warned. Be armed. You must stay strong. You must use any weapon you can to defeat anna, because your father clearly will do whatever she asks. And she will use his feelings. She will use your father and lead him into danger. She will lead him to his death. My dear charlotte, you are the only one who can protect your father from anna devane. You, his most cherished possession, must save him. To guide you, I’m giving you these very special tarot cards. They are powerful tools, charlotte. You’ll find them helpful. Use them wisely. Use them to protect and save your father, a man we both love dearly. Your ally and loving grandfather, victor cassadine.

Woman: Thank you for coming, everyone. Thank you newcomers. Namaste. Nama-hot. Well, that was a lot better than I ever thought it would be. Are you kidding? Right? Oh. Thank you for enduring the class. Oh, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I really did. I feel great. Oh, good. You know, actually, it wasn’t — it wasn’t that bad. So you’ll be back? No. Okay. What’s next? Uh, I guess a shower. No. I mean, what’s next on your bucket list? Oh, uh, I’m gonna wait to decide until after I tell chase. You haven’t told chase yet? No. No. He’s been so happy with brook lynn. And I know when I tell him I have als, it’s gonna break both of our hearts. Chase: Is it true? Yes. Is he here? No. I know this is difficult. Try to stay calm. Our father is dying. He was gonna tell you. Wait. How long has he known? A few months. What? A-and you have, too? No. He only told me a couple of weeks ago. A couple of weeks? How could I not know, but he tells the son who cut him out of his life for 20 years? This has been very difficult for him. Wait, and you knew? No, it wasn’t like that. Like what? Like you and my brother knew that my father was dying and nobody cared to tell me? Chase. Wait. Don’T…even think about it. And thank you, tracy, for being honest with me. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I really thought that you knew. Yeah, well, obviously, you were mistaken. You saved my life, cody. You believed in me. Yeah, well, I wasn’t the only one. Only one what? That believed in sasha. He’s right. If you and sam hadn’t believed in me, I could have been locked in here for the rest of my life. Or worse. Well, this guy made a compelling case. And you know what, sam, you know, she believed in you from the beginning. She knew from the start there was something wrong, and she was determined to prove it. And when she is determined, it’s best just to stay out of the way… not a good feeling, is it, doc? Now you’re the one in sasha’s place. Trapped, helpless. Sit down, gladys. Sit down. Alright. In these situations, I think it’s always best for, you know, people like you to get everything off their chest before it’s all over. Over? Over? Yeah, I want you to tell me everything without whining and excuses. This is something that you need for your soul. The gambling debt was to selina wu. She threatened me, so I paid her with sasha’s money. I owed her even more when sasha wanted to end the guardianship, so I made a deal with montague to make sasha look unfit. He gave her a drug that was just supposed to confuse her. But, sonny, I swear to you — stop whining. I told you to stop whining. You used sasha, you took advantage of her love and trust, and you locked her in a living hell. Just say it! I used sasha and took advantage of her love and trust. Finish it. And I locked her in a living hell. That’s good. But now you’re gonna have to see what it’s gonna cost you. Frank!

Spencer: Okay. Boarding passes are downloaded and the bellhop has our bags. I’m so glad you left room in your suitcase, because I never would have gotten all the stuff that I brought here. I can’t even get it closed. Let me get it. Let me get it. Thank you. Ooph. Thank you. Okay, you all set? Yeah. Alright. Goodbye, room. Thank you. So you might not have handled this perfectly, but I — I do think the sentiment is kind of beautiful. You really think so? Yeah, I really do. Unfortunately, now that we have the house, the circumstances have kind of changed. Oh, what’s happened? Well, after the fire, I lost focus on what was going on with my daughter. Oh, yeah. You know, she’s had a lot of adjustments this year. Of course. She has. Boarding school. Life with laura and sam and dante and their kids. Yeah, yeah. She seems very happy now, though. But it’s made me realize that I need to give her my undivided attention right now. Okay, I get that. Yeah. I’m so sorry. I bought this house for you, and now I realize that it’s not the right time to ask you to come and live with us. I understand that charlotte — she needs some time alone. She does. Okay. You know, your love for your daughter is — is…very beautiful. Anna, I promise, as soon as everything is right, we’ll move in together. Victor: You must use any weapon

you can to defeat anna. I hope at some point, you’ll read my op-ed piece. I promise I’ll do it as soon as humanly possible. Thank you. Thank you for everything, alexis. Thank you. Hey, I’ve got a question. Shoot.You never read “anna karenina”? I’m starting it tonight. Finn. Finn. I’m so sorry. I-I saw that he was crying, and I naturally — not your fault. It’s not your fault, tracy. It’s — took way too long. We should have told him. I — I should have told him. He had a right to know. You were just trying to respect your father’s wishes. Finn, there’s no good way to handle a situation like this. But I handled it the wrong way. All wrong. Oh, cody, really screwed up this one, didn’t you? Mm. Assault. Kidnapping. My lawyers are going to explain this away just as a misunderstanding. I was merely defending myself. Mm. Yeah. You know, I don’t think that’s gonna happen, but just in case.

[ Groans ] Let’s go, cody. Everything okay? This man assaulted me again, and your officer saw it. Dante? No, mac, I didn’t see anything, actually. What? Mac: Daniels. Get the doctor ready to be transported back to the station and booked for attempted murder, among other things. I’m so sorry, sasha. It’s not your fault. He had a lot of people fooled. Sasha. Hey, you ready to get out of here? Can we go? Absolutely. Thank you. Frank’s gonna take you on a little ride. Sonny, please. To bridgeport, back to your old life. And if you leave bridgeport, I’ll know about it. Talk to anybody, you know, about the fact that we’re related, I’ll know it. If you — even if you put a quarter in a slot machine, I’ll know about it. You do any of those things, and frank’s gonna take you on another ride, which will be your last ride. I understand. Sonny, I don’t know how to thank you for everything. Don’t thank me. Get out of my sight. Don’t touch that luggage, ’cause that’s — sasha paid for that luggage. It’s not yours.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Kevin: You ready for a break? We have those dinner reservations.

Laura: Uh, yeah, in just a minute. I’m almost done.

Kevin: Ha! Of course, even in Europe, the mayor of Port Charles can’t stop working. How are things stateside?

Laura: This is not work.

Kevin: Oh, right. Nikolas.

Laura: Yes. Yes, exactly. I’m trying to narrow down where we should travel to next to continue the search.

Kevin: [ Sighs ] Laura. Yesterday, we found out that Nikolas is alive, and there couldn’t have been better news. But it also made something else crystal clear. Your son doesn’t want to be found.

Martin: Good morning, Valentin.

Valentin: Morning.

Martin: Wow. You know, I was sold. You said you wanted to turn this place into a home for you and Charlotte, but now that it’s fully furnished, I’m impressed.

Valentin: Thank you.

Martin: I’m sure you didn’t call me over here to compliment your decorating.

Valentin: No, this isn’t a social call.

Martin: Okay. Meter is running. What’s on your mind?

Valentin: First, I want to know whatever I tell you is covered by attorney-client privilege.

Martin: Of course. It always is.

Valentin: Even if it’s about somebody else?

Martin: It depends on who you’re referring to.

Valentin: It’s my daughter. Charlotte’s future depends on our conversation today.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Anna: Good morning, Sonny.

Sonny: How’s the security team I gave to you?

Anna: I have no complaints, you know. Guard is standing outside doing an excellent job of seeming unobtrusive.

Sonny: That’s exactly what I wanted him to do for you.

Anna: Thank you for this extra layer of protection. I know I was very resistant initially, but if I’m being honest, this whole thing is — it’s making me feel better.

Sonny: That’s the plan.

Anna: I know, it’s just —

Sonny: I know, I know. You don’t like to ask for help.

Anna: I don’t like to ask for help.

Sonny: But you know what? I got your back. You call me if you need anything.

Anna: I will. I bet I’m not the only person you’re looking out for.

Sonny: You’re right about that. There’s one person in particular.

Sasha: [ Exhales sharply ] You can do this, Sasha. It’s going to be okay.

Nurse: Good morning, Sasha. According to your chart, you were “unfocused” when you were readmitted yesterday. So as a reminder, you’re not able to leave your room without permission. And at least for the time being, you’re not allowed any visitors.

Sasha: Okay. But what about my doctors?

Nurse: You’ll still continue to receive the absolute best care here. But in the bigger picture, if you ever want to leave Ferncliff, you’re going to have to do your part.

Sasha: Oh, I plan to do just that.

Gladys: This is Gladys Corbin. I just want to confirm there’s going to be a car to pick me up in Aan José. Right, it’s, uh — there’s no checkout date. It’s an open-ended stay at the hotel. Okay, perfect. Thank you. [ Sighs ] Bought this coat for winter in New York. They’ve got to have some cold days in Central America.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Doorknob jiggling ]

Gladys: What exactly do you think you’re doing breaking into my home?

Sam: Well, I guess you didn’t hear me knocking. Or did you?

Laura: Nikolas is my son. I would go to the end of the earth to save him, just like I would for Lucky or for Lulu.

Kevin: I’m not questioning your commitment as a mother, but we have to face the facts. Nikolas has been taking money out of his accounts. We know that.

Laura: Yeah, so what is your point?

Kevin: It doesn’t just prove that he’s alive. It also proves that he doesn’t want any contact with you. He hasn’t contacted Spencer or even Esme about his new baby son, Ace. He’s sending every possible signal that he does not want to interact with his family.

Laura: Yeah, and I think if my son were in his right mind, he wouldn’t be doing that. I — I don’t want to abandon him in his hour of need.

Kevin: And I mostly agree with you. Personally, I believe that he could and would benefit from your guidance right now. But there are extenuating circumstances. When he imprisoned Esme, he knew he was breaking the law, so your son is running away from potential criminal charges and his responsibilities as a father. If a newborn son isn’t enough to bring him home, then what could you possibly offer him?

Laura: Hm. What more could I possibly offer my son? [ Sighs ] How about redemption?

Sasha: [ Gasps ]

Nurse Janice: I wish there was another way for you to help Sasha.

Dr. Montague: [ Exhales deeply ] So do I. But my relationship with Ms. Gilmore has been compromised.

Nurse Janice: You mean because of Cody Bell attacking you and kidnapping Sasha?

Dr. Montague: Yes. As a result of that, Sasha was left with a conflation of traumatic events. She can’t even see me without recalling the abduction. I don’t know if that was because of the drugs or her brain is that confused, but she thinks Cody Bell was trying to “rescue” her and that I’m the bad guy.

Nurse Janice: Anyone who knows you knows that can’t possibly be true. Sasha is truly delusional.

Dr. Montague: Which leaves me no choice but to remove myself from her case. Here you go.

Nurse Janice: Thank you, Doctor.

Dr. Montague: You know, I was only working at Ferncliff to take care of Sasha. Now that’s no longer the case, you’re not going to be seeing me here again.

Nurse Janice: You’re definitely going to be missed.

Dr. Montague: Thank you, Janice. I’m sure you’ll see me around town again.

Gladys: I know my front door was locked, and you’re not even trying to hide your little lockpick tool. Breaking and entering is a serious crime, Sam. I should call the cops on you.

Sam: You know what? I think calling the cops is a great idea. Call away.

Gladys: Oh, right. I forgot. You’re shacked up with Detective Falconeri. Of course he’s going to take your word over mine.

Sam: You know what? We don’t have to involve Dante in this. Call anyone at the PCPD. Although, I think getting the cops involved might delay your trip a little bit. Where is it that you said you were going?

Gladys: I didn’t say. And I’m not going to. You’re not welcome in my home.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] Your home? Last time I checked, this was Sasha’s apartment.

Gladys: Well, Sasha’s not well, and she’s not here, so you can just beat it.

Sam: That’s interesting, considering that your daughter-in-law is not well, yet you are still going on a trip. How do you think Brando would feel about that?

Gladys: I don’t have to take this from you.

Sam: No, that’s — that’s fine. But I am not going anywhere. Not until you exonerate Sasha.

Kevin: Nikolas is your son, and I know you will never give up on him. So hear that first, please. All right. But also hear me when I say that at the end of the day, it’s clear to me that redemption is the last thing that Nikolas wants.

Laura: And I wouldn’t disagree with you there at all. But what we want and what we need are two very different things.

Kevin: You couldn’t be more right. Most people can’t reconcile or admit that “this is what I need in my life.” Believe me, he’s fortunate to have you on his side.

Laura: [ Exhales sharply ] Look. I know right now it appears that he is just running from his problems, and my brain knows that he committed a crime and that he has to face up to it, but my heart loves him the same, exactly the same. So I’m going to love him, I’m going to support him until he gets his damn head on straight.

Kevin: Of course you are because that’s who you are. And I hope that happens. But I also know that that isn’t going to happen until he’s willing to put aside his immediate desires and focus on his responsibilities and the needs of his children. Too harsh?

Laura: Uh, too accurate. [ Exhales sharply ] I know Spencer is suffering from the absence of his father. Ace will, too, eventually. But that’s why I need to find him. I’ve got to shake some sense into him.

Kevin: Nikolas has the money and the resources to stay hidden for a long time. And it breaks my heart to see you chasing after someone who doesn’t value the love and attention that you’re willing to shower on him.

Laura: Okay, I — I hear you. I’m not giving up my search.

Jordan: Good morning.

Anna: Hi. Well, you look lovely. Thank you for meeting me. Everything all right?

Jordan: What?

Anna: Is everything all right?

Jordan: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I’m just juggling a lot at the same time. What else is new? By the way, I noticed a man lingering outside. I know most people wouldn’t take a second glance at him, but my cop instincts are shouting at me pretty loudly that he’s no random innocent.

Anna: Right. Would that be the super serious guy, kind of tall, definitely not smiling, very focused?

Jordan: Yeah, yeah, that would be the man I’m referring to.

Anna: That’s my bodyguard.

Jordan: When did you start hiring bodyguards?

Anna: I didn’t. He’s on Sonny’s payroll, part of his security team, which I think is very generous.

Jordan: Oh, that’s a pretty big deal. Since when did the most self-reliant of spies decide she needs outside protection? And not from the WSB, but from Sonny, of all people.

Anna: Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Jordan: Meaning?

Anna: Meaning someone is trying to dismantle my life and drive me insane.

Valentin: Before I get into the issues with my daughter, I want you to know that I take full responsibility. Charlotte’s mother has been in a coma these last few years, and I have allowed her to be raised by her stepfather and her grandmother lately, and I think that maybe she’s lost her way.

Martin: So are you speaking to me as your lawyer or your friend?

Valentin: Both.

Martin: Okay, well, then hit me with some facts.

Valentin: [ Exhales deeply ] A couple of nights ago, Charlotte claimed that she was hanging with Jake Webber at Kelly’s like a couple of typical teenagers.

Martin: And you learned otherwise?

Valentin: Nina showed me some security footage from The Metro Court Hotel that night.

Martin: And you saw Charlotte doing what, exactly?

Valentin: We both watched her letting herself into Anna’s hotel suite. The same suite that was later found ransacked, Anna’s clothes covered with ink, and then a cryptic message written in lipstick on the hotel mirror.

Martin: And you’re afraid that she’s fallen in with the wrong crowd, that she might have witnessed what happened in that hotel room?

Valentin: I think she’s the perpetrator.

Martin: Ah. Okay, uh, well, if that is the case, then she’s definitely troubled about something, experiencing some kind of growing pains, but even so, I don’t think there’s a court in the country that’s going to think of that as anything other than a cry for help. You know, I mean, even with the state of the room and the clothes and the message on the mirror, I mean, it’s just the folly of misspent youth.

Valentin: You may be right, but I think she’d face a stiffer sentence if the court knew that she set fire to Anna’s house.

Sasha: Damn it! I don’t know how much longer I can do this.

Gladys: I wish I could help Sasha. What’s happened to her is absolutely tragic. She lost her son and then her husband within months of each other. But why does everyone forget that I lost my grandson and then my son? My only child. [ Sighs ] My heart breaks for Sasha, but it also breaks for me.

Sam: I — I’m sorry. I know that losing Liam and then Brando was horrible for both you and Sasha.

Gladys: Well, thank you for at least acknowledging that.

Sam: But we need to focus on helping Sasha today.

Gladys: Face it, Sam. Sasha’s situation only got worse after Cody Bell abducted her. Then she completely lost touch with reality. It was not my decision to send her back to Ferncliff. The police and her doctors made that choice. There is nothing else I can do for Sasha.

Sam: What are you talking about? You totally took advantage of Sasha’s situation. How do you think your son would feel about that? How do you think your son would feel knowing that you stole from Sasha? Not to mention you undermined her sobriety and her sanity.

Gladys: I don’t have to listen to your garbage, Sam. Get out.

Laura: You know, I carry around an awful lot of guilt about Nikolas and about his childhood.

Kevin: I’m aware. But I’ll also remind you that you were a prisoner on Cassadine Island, and when you saw your chance to escape, you took it.

Laura: Yes, but without my son.

Kevin: You saved yourself.

Laura: Yes, I saved myself, and I abandoned my son at the same time. I left him. I left him to be raised by the Cassadines. So I am every bit as much to blame for the way he turned out as the Cassadines are.

Kevin: Laura, Nikolas is an adult. He’s a man who has responsibilities. Sooner or later, he’s going to have to stop blaming his childhood for the mistakes that he’s made as a grown man.

Laura: Thanks. [ Chuckling ] That was a really nice try. But you know better than anyone that we are the product of our childhoods. All I can say is thank god Stefan was there. Because Stavros and the rest of the Cassadines, they could never possibly be any kind of a role model for him. But they were there, they were manipulating him, they were forming his point of view about the world in which he lived, his tendency to get angry so quickly and to make these rash, crazy decisions. I don’t think he was born like that. I think he was taught that.

Kevin: He’s never even met his new son. And as much as you and I both know how much he loves Spencer, he’s abandoned him… again. What does that say about Nikolas?

Laura: I think it says that he believes his children would be better off without him, which I know is not the case because despite all of his flaws, deep down inside, there is a very good man in there with a good heart, and I just have to believe that those good qualities will triumph over this darkness that he’s going through right now and that he will make his way back to me and to his kids. See, I just think that he needs to be reminded that he has the ability to do that.

Kevin: Well, if anyone can get someone to listen to their inner angel, it’s you. So where do you want to look next?

Laura: London.

Martin: I understand how upset you must have been to see visual evidence that your teenage girl broke into a hotel room. And I get it — Anna’s not some random person, you love her, and if Charlotte had a problem with that, that’s troubling. But breaking and entering, even vandalism is a hell of a long way from arson.

Valentin: I have every faith in my daughter’s intelligence and her capability. She was at camp that night. That’s less than an hour from Port Charles. She could have taken a rideshare. She’s familiar enough with Anna’s house. That fire was intentionally set while Anna and I were away.

Martin: I refuse to believe that Charlotte would ever intentionally hurt Anna.

Valentin: Not physically. She wanted to take away her home.

Martin: For what purpose?

Valentin: She wanted her scared. She wanted her insecure.

Martin: [ Scoffs ] Wait a minute. If I’m remembering correctly, when you said the fire was set, didn’t Anna say she thought a professional had done it?

Valentin: I think she assumed that it was the WSB.

Martin: Okay, all right. Well, Anna is no fool. She’d been around the block a couple of times, so she knows what she’s talking about. How on earth would a teenage girl know how to set a fire that looks like a professional did it?

Valentin: The internet, Martin. It’s a dark place. If you look for something hard enough, you’re going to find it. I’m almost certain that my daughter is responsible for Anna’s house fire, and I want your help protecting her from herself.

Anna: Even though the PCPD haven’t determined whether Sonny or me were the target for the shooting of The Metro Court pool, I believe that the bullet that ricocheted and hit Curtis was meant for Sonny, not me.

Jordan: What makes you so sure?

Anna: The fire at my house, the writing on my mirror. Those — those things were definitely aimed specifically at me, at a place where I was living, so they’re personal, whereas the shooting at the pool, that was a public attack. So those are two totally different psychological profiles, two distinct and conflicting motives if you really look at it.

Jordan: Okay. But the rifle that was recovered in Curtis’s shooting was previously in WSB custody. You have way more connections to the WSB than Sonny.

Anna: Of course. Yes. And we were standing next to each other. So on the surface, that does make the issue murkier.

Jordan: Okay. Let’s just say the shooter was after Sonny. Then who burned down your house and vandalized your suite at The Metro Court?

Anna: I do not know. But whoever they are, they do seem to know exactly what they’re doing.

Nurse: Time for your morning meds, Sasha.

Sasha: No, no, absolutely not. Those pills are what got me in trouble in the first place.

Nurse: Didn’t you tell me you wanted to work hard to help yourself get out of this place?

Sasha: Of course. That’s my goal.

Nurse: Okay, then you agree with me. If you really want to get out, you’re going to have to play by the rules.

Sasha: I tried that. It almost killed me.

Gladys: It’s really not a good time, Sonny.

Sonny: Sorry to hear that because in my book, there’s always time for family. Didn’t expect to see you here.

Sam: Hi, Sonny. I owe you a big congratulations for having the most impeccable timing ever. I haven’t been able to get through to Gladys. Maybe you can do better.

Sonny: Yeah? What’s the problem, Gladys?

Kevin: Excellent. Thank you very much. All right, we’re set. Two tickets to London.

Laura: Great. Thank you. [ Sighs ] Hey. Thank you for being by my side through this whole thing. I mean, really, at any point, you could have said, “it’s time to quit. I got to go back to Port Charles. I got to resume my life.” But you didn’t, so thank you. Putting your life on hold to be with me through this.

Kevin: I’ve arranged for my patients to work with other therapists, and the hospital can always reach me in an emergency. And I know how important your children are to you. With Lucky living abroad, and Lulu… Well, it’s no wonder Nikolas has taken center stage. And if I haven’t said it already, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.

Laura: I love you with all my heart. Thank you.

Kevin: I love you. Now let me finish packing.

Laura: [ Sighs ] Hello, Jordan, it’s Laura. I thought I would check in with my deputy mayor. Tell me, how are things going in Port Charles?

Sam: Do you want to tell Sonny what’s going on, or should I?

Gladys: I’m happy to explain what’s going on. Sam here showed up at my door and then picked my lock to break into my home. Can you believe that?

Sonny: You didn’t knock?

Sam: Of course I knocked, Sonny, but she didn’t answer, so I had no choice but to pick the lock.

Gladys: Oh, well, okay. Some people understand that if you don’t answer the door, you’re not in the mood for company.

Sam: Well, either that or they don’t want their escape plan to be interrupted.

Gladys: [ Chuckles ] Wow. Oh, do you hear that? Not only does she pick my lock to break into my home, now she’s throwing around wild accusations about me, and it’s all because she’s cuddled up to that thief, Cody Bell.

Sam: The charges against Cody were dropped.

Gladys: Okay, that doesn’t mean he’s not guilty. It just so happens Selina Wu allegedly “found” some witness.

Sam: Oh. Really, Gladys? Selina Wu and Cody Bell? Is that really the road you want to go down? Because I don’t think that’s going to end well for you.

Gladys: All right. You know what, Sonny? The way she’s defending that two-bit thief, Cody Bell, it makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Why? I think the obvious reason is that she’s stepping out on your son Dante to have an affair with Cody. Ah, ah, ah — I’m just trying to protect your son because we’re family, and I know that’s what Mike would want. You just have to ask yourself — why is Sam so desperate to help Cody Bell if she’s not sleeping with him? What possible reason could there be? Cody was a virtual stranger to Sam when he came to town, but now, she’ll — she’ll do anything to help him, even jeopardize poor Sasha’s sanity.

Sonny: Sam, we’ve known each other for a long time. Is anything she’s saying the truth, that you and Cody have anything to do with hurting Sasha?

Nurse Janice: Ferncliff. This is Janice. How can I help you?

Dr. Montague: Janice, this is Dr. Montague. I am so sorry to trouble you with this, but I just pulled into my driveway at home and realized I left a file at Ferncliff.

Nurse Janice: Oh, no trouble at all. I’d be happy to track down that file for you. Do you remember where you think you left it?

Dr. Montague: I think it’s in the doctor’s lounge. It’s one of my patient’s files from General Hospital, so it should be easily recognizable. Is it too much trouble to ask you to check that out for me?

Nurse Janice: Sure, I’ll go look there and then call you back whether I find it or not.

Dr. Montague: Thank you so much, Janice. You’re the best.

Martin: I know how much you love and adore your daughter. I have witnessed firsthand what you were willing to sacrifice to be the father she needs. Now you’re telling me you honestly believe that that young lady is capable of burning Anna’s house to the ground? Who else have you told this little theory?

Valentin: Nina. She’s the only other one. She’s seen the footage. We watched Charlotte break into Anna’s hotel room.

Martin: And so what? So what? There’s video evidence that your daughter may have committed a crime.

Valentin: There was evidence. Nina removed it from the server. It doesn’t exist anymore.

Martin: All right, I’m — I’m going to ask you a couple questions, not because I’m judging you or Charlotte. I just want to make sure I give you the best help possible.

Valentin: Okay, I appreciate that. Ask away.

Martin: You’re saying that Nina is the only other person that knows this happened. I assume you haven’t said anything to Anna yet?

Valentin: I love Anna… but Charlotte has to be my primary focus.

Martin: Good. She have any idea what this would do to your relationship?

Valentin: I don’t know, but I’m not ready to tell her.

Martin: Where’s Charlotte now?

Valentin: She’s at school. Other than that, I haven’t let her out of my sight since the room was broken into.

Martin: Well, as your attorney, I’ll be of service any way I can. You know that. But I’m not sure I know what you’re asking me to do.

Valentin: I need you to be ready to defend my daughter in the event of an arson charge. If it comes to that — hopefully, that can be avoided, we can make this all go away, and I can get her the psychological help she needs. I’m asking you to cover contingencies.

Martin: Okay. Well… I’ll start brushing up on crimes committed as a juvenile. On a personal note, as your friend, I can’t tell you how sorry I am that you have to go through something like this with Charlotte.

Valentin: Thank you. I appreciate that. I was so obsessed with my sociopath of a father that I missed some cues. I didn’t pay enough attention to Charlotte, to what she was capable of. That’s a lonely place. And I want to do what I have to do to help her.

Laura: I will let you know as soon as I am back in Port Charles. And by the way, thanks again for stepping up and taking care of everything while I’m out of town. Okay, bye.

Kevin: Yes, I did go to the business center and print out our boarding passes. And, yes, it makes me a bit old school and, yes, a little old-fashioned. But I don’t care.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] I wouldn’t call that old-fashioned. I’d just say it’s practical, that’s all.

Kevin: So do you have any idea of where you want to start looking in London?

Laura: I do.

Kevin: I know you’re disappointed that we haven’t found Nikolas yet, but maybe we’ll have better luck there.

Laura: That’s my hope.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Laura: Oh, uh, do I have time to take this call? It’s Valentin.

Kevin: Uh, yeah. We’re ahead of schedule. Find out what he wants.

Laura: Okay, great. Valentin, hello.

Valentin: Laura, hi. Any sign of Nikolas?

Laura: Yes and no. We’re in Geneva, actually. We were just on our way to the airport. We’re going to fly to London next.

Valentin: You think Nikolas is in London?

Laura: I’m not sure, but I did find proof that he’s alive.

Valentin: Well, that’s great. That’s got to give you hope, huh?

Laura: Yes. So, uh, there must be a reason that you called?

Valentin: Well, you say you’re flying to London. Any chance you’re stopping off in Port Charles?

Laura: Why? Has something happened? Did Spencer do something?

Valentin: No. I mean, Alexis hasn’t said anything about Spencer.

Laura: Oh, good. All right, then. So what’s the problem?

Valentin: It’s Charlotte.

Laura: Charlotte. What about her?

Valentin: I think your granddaughter is in some serious trouble.

Anna: I’m still trying to figure out who’s out to get me. And I really can’t rule out the fact that the WSB are probably at the top of that list.

Jordan: Is Valentin helping you out?

Anna: Um… well, he’s determined to protect me, you know, but…

Jordan: But what? You don’t believe him?

Anna: I believe that he would never harm me. But, you know, he has his own past. Murky ties with the WSB and other affiliated organizations with less-than-stellar reputations.

Jordan: Which means…?

Anna: Honestly, Jordan… I don’t know what kind of secrets Valentin is keeping. And I think it’s past time that I found out exactly what those secrets are.

Gladys: Don’t you see the pattern? The guy is a wannabe gold digger. He targeted a wealthy doctor and — and chief of staff at GH, and when that didn’t work out, he moved on to Sasha while she was struggling with mental health issues. He saw his next target — a rich, troubled widow. Cody took advantage of her grief.

Sam: No, no, none of this is true, Sonny. Cody is on Sasha’s side.

Gladys: No, no, no. Don’t believe her. She’s his accomplice. She has been in with Cody from the very beginning, but what else can you expect? She is a grifter, too.

Sam: No, please tell me you’re not buying what she’s shoveling.

Gladys: He’s my family. He’s my family. Of course he’s going to believe me. Sonny… all I’ve tried to do since Brando died is take care of his widow. But then Cody started whispering in her ear. And eventually, it became too much and she snapped. She went back on whatever drugs she was taking, and then she wound up stabbing Cody with a knife. I mean, you’d think that would make him back off, but he wasn’t all that smart. Somehow, he got himself admitted to Ferncliff, and that’s when he kidnapped her. And then he got arrested. And poor Sasha made her way back here to the apartment, and it was heartbreaking, Sonny. She was disoriented and not making any sense at all. And it broke my heart to have to call the police.

Sonny: You’re right. What happened to Sasha was worse than a tragedy. It’s downright criminal.

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Ugh… [ Exhales deeply ] Okay, okay, that’s — whew, that’s a little better. Oh, this isn’t going to last forever. You’re gonna survive this. No! [ Breathing heavily ]

Laura: Charlotte is in trouble? What happened?

Valentin: I can’t get into it over the phone right now for legal reasons.

Laura: For legal reasons? My god, what are you saying?

Valentin: I’m saying I need your help, Laura, and so does Charlotte, desperately.

Laura: Then you’ve got it. Okay, look, I will take the first flight to Port Charles. Um… I’ll just get there as soon as I possibly can.

Anna: Oh. Uh… so this is where you’ve been hiding out.

Sonny: Gladys. Looks like you’re headed somewhere.

Gladys: Uh, well, what — what can I say? With everything going on with Sasha, I… my own nerves were shot, and I just need a break, a little vacation.

Sonny: Yeah, it’s a lot of luggage for a little vacation. Where are you going?

Gladys: [ Stammering ] Just some quiet spot just to take a beat and, you know, calm down.

Sam: That is not true. She’s clearly running away.

Sonny: What are you running from, Gladys?

Sam: She’s hoping to get out of town before the truth about Sasha comes out.

Gladys: Okay, okay. You know what? You’re partially correct, but you always got to put a negative spin on things, right? I — I — yes, I’m leaving town, but it’s — it’s only because I cannot bear to stay here and watch the disaster that Sasha’s life has turned into.

Sonny: You are her legal guardian. You’re obligated to stick around.

Gladys: But not — not while she’s in Ferncliff. I can’t do anything for her while she’s there, and that’s — that’s why I thought this is the perfect time for me to go somewhere and get my own head on straight.

Sonny: That — that sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] Sonny, please tell me you’re not buying this BS.

Sonny: But, Gladys, can I just ask you one question? How are you going to pay for this trip? Because I already know you stole Sasha’s money to pay back your gambling debt to Selina Wu.

Gladys: No, that’s not — that’s not —

Sonny: Shut up. I’m — I’m done with your lies, and I’m going to make sure that you don’t lie again.

Sasha: Stay away from me.

Dr. Montague: Sasha, you’re confused. I can see the agitation in your face. This medication will help you calm down.

Sasha: Somebody help me! Dr. Montague’s trying to inject me with something! I do not consent!

Dr. Montague: No one can hear you, Sasha, and no one is coming to save you.

Sasha: [ Screaming ] Help me! Help me! Please! Help me! [ Screams ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase (to Tracy): You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s going on.

Anna (to Valentin): Why would you keep this secret?

Trina (to Spencer): I couldn’t believe that you did that for me.

Gregory (to Alexis): You want to help me knock another one off the list?

Sonny (to Gladys): I know exactly what you did, and now you’re gonna pay for it.

Dr. Montague (holding Sasha hostage): I’m walking out of here and taking her with me.

Recap written by Suzanne

Kevin and Laura prepared to leave Switzerland (?) to head to London. Kevin wonders if Laura should keep chasing Nikolas when it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t want to get caught, but she insists on searching for her son, anyway.

Martin visits Valentin, who tells him that Charlotte vandalized Anna’s room, and he thinks she tried to burn down her house, too. He wants Martin, who is shocked to hear all this, to prepare in case Charlotte gets arrested. Valentin then phones Laura to ask her to stop back home before she heads to London because her granddaughter needs her.

Anna phones Sonny to thank him for giving her bodyguards. Later, Anna and Jordan catch up at the Metro Court. Anna then walks into Valentin’s new house, asking if this is where he’s been hiding.

Dr. Montague tells Nurse Janice that he’ll be leaving soon and can’t treat Sasha any more. Later, he phones her and asks her to search for a file he left behind (so she can get by her desk without her seeing him).

Sasha tries to get used to being in her Ferncliff room again. A nurse tells her that she can’t have visitors and wants her to take her medication, but Sasha refuses. Sasha has a nightmare about Dr. Montague. Later, he comes in her room and tries to inject her, but she tries to get away. He grabs her and she screams for help. He’s about to inject her when someone walks in.

Gladys is about to skip town when Sam arrives. Sam accuses her of everything that she’s done to hurt Sasha. Sonny arrives and listens to all of Gladys’ lies while Sam gets annoyed.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

trina: Thank you. Here you go. Sir. Appreciate it. Enjoy. Thank you. Oh, my god. That was amazing! The sets, the costumes, the music. I felt like I was actually at the moulin rouge! Didn’t you love it?! I did, though I did have a little bit of difficulty paying attention because I had a very pretty girl sitting next to me who I kept stealing glances at. Well, I’m definitely not as exciting as the can-can. Oh, I would disagree. To me, you are. I’m not sure toulouse-lautrec would agree. Well, it made me happy to see you so happy. Couldn’t take my eyes off you. Well, how can I be anything but happy? I’m in an incredible city with the most incredible guy. Who’s incredibly hungry. What do you think?

[ Laughs ] I’m starving. Hello, handsome. Ah. The door? I didn’t mean to wake you. No apologies necessary. I love waking up to you.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunting ] Bad dream? Unfortunately, it’s not a dream. It’s, uh — it’s my reality. -Mom? -Hey. What are you doing here at this hour? I need your help. I saw willow at G.H. She’s — she’s with drew. Yeah, she insisted on checking on him, so I stayed with the kids. H-how is drew doing? He made it through surgery. He’s lucky to be alive. They almost beat him to death. He shouldn’t even be in pentonville. I have no idea what the hell that judge was thinking. I do. Judge kim used drew to advance his career, and I need you to help me prove it. Nurse baldwin, where have you been all night? The first time I’m seeing you. It’s been so busy. I’ve been assisting in surgery for the past three hours. What about you? Why are you here so late? Well, I couldn’t leave without saying hi to you.

[ Rain falling ] You’re all wet, madam! Nothing gets past you, giles. Why is it only raining on this godforsaken island?! You know, not a single drop anywhere else! Spoon island is a microclimate. Oh. Well, thank you for the science lesson. Well, I’m not meant to be dry today, obviously, so in keeping with the wet theme, I’m gonna go and take a long, hot bath. No, you won’t, madam. Just stop it with the “madam,” giles, and tell me, why can’t I take a bath? I’m sorry, but the hot water heater isn’t working due to intermittent power outages on the island from the storm. Oh. Right. The microclimate, huh? Precisely. Well, please tell me that the vodka and olive situation hasn’t been affected by the storm. Not to my knowledge. Hot dog! Well, fix me a martini, will you? And I’m gonna get out of these wet clothes. How would you like your martini? Dry, giles. Very dry. Banker muller: Welcome, ms. Spencer. Oh, actually, it’s collins now. Oh, I’d love for you to meet my husband, dr. Kevin collins. Ah. Hans muller. Pleased to meet you. Mr. Muller. Have a seat. Thank you. I’ve known your lovely wife for years. Oh, yes. My gosh. How long have we been doing business? Wait. Don’t answer that. I don’t think I want to know that number. But he’s been a friend of the family for a long time. So what can I do for you, mrs. Collins? You can help me find my son.

I’m flattered. But I’m not buying it. What? There’s gotta be another reason you’re still here. Your shift ended hours ago. Oh, I am insulted.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, well, maybe I am waiting around for some lab results, but the thought of seeing you was an added incentive for sticking around. Oh, well, you won’t be seeing me around here at night anymore ’cause the kids are done with camp, school’s about to start, and I have to switch back to days. I like seeing you anytime I can, but I got to admit, these — these nights have been kind of special. I wouldn’t necessarily call a 12-hour shift “special.” I sort of meant spending time with you has been nice. Our talks on the roof. When you stole my spot? O-okay. I thought we pretty much cleared this up. That bench was always my spot. I’m pretty sure

you are the interloper. Interloper? I’ve never been described as an interloper. Well, if the bench fits. Hey, whoever gets there first, okay? That sounds like a challenge.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Pager beeps ] Ugh. Patient calls. Good night, dr. Finn. Good night, nurse baldwin. So how’d it go with charlotte? I’m sure she was excited, you know, spending the night at your place. Yeah, she was. She was. It’s just she’s going through a lot right now. It’s difficult for her. She’S…acting out. S-she’s, what, 14? It’s hard for me to believe this, but she’s 15. Well, acting out comes with the territory at that age. Yeah. You got to be, you know — have patience with her. I am. I am. It’s just… yeah? You know, when valentin and I were together, I was her stepmother for a while. And even though we’re not together now, I still think of charlotte as my family. Family is very important. It’s the most important thing. Yeah. Hey… since we’re on the subject of family… …we need to talk about yours. Not that I don’t appreciate the company, but what are you doing here, willow? Michael and I heard about the attack, and we were so worried about you. Hm. I had to come see you. So michael stayed home with the kids. Well, that is very sweet. But you didn’t have to come. It’s the least I can do.

[ Chuckles ] You literally saved my life. If you hadn’t rescued liesl, I wouldn’t have gotten the bone-marrow transplant, and I might not be here. A visit from me certainly can’t compare, but I wanted you to know that I’m thinking about you. Thank you. Is there anything you want or need to talk about? The attack? No. No. Well, there is — there is one thing I need to know, and it’s — it’s pretty important. Anything. I need to know how wiley’s tee-ball team is doing.

[ Chuckles ] My son has been missing for months now, and I’m afraid that something’s happened. He hasn’t contacted you at all? No. No. And he left behind two sons. One of them is just a baby. And I don’t believe that he would just abandon them. So I’m actually kind of afraid that maybe he’s being held against his will. Kevin and I have been searching for him for weeks now, but we haven’t come up with any leads. We’ve been to all the cassadine properties in russia and greece, but there’s no sign of him. I’m happy to try and help any way I can. But what makes you think nikolas is in geneva? Because his money is here. Ava: Thank you for making this fire, giles. I know it’s a bit early for it, but I was so damp. I feel better already. And, you know, I’ll feel even better once I get the martini.

[ Electricity crackles ][ Thunder crashes ]

[ Gasps ] Ohh! Oh!

[ Gasps ] I’m so sorry. Let me get you a napkin. No, no, no, no, no. It’s quite alright. I told you I wasn’t meant to be dry tonight. This came from the real-estate agency. Oh, thank you. Well, thank you so much. I’m off this evening, but there’s plenty of food in the kitchen. Well, I’ll be having a liquid dinner. Thanks so much. And get home safely.

[ Thunder rumbles ] I cannot wait to move off this island. What a beautiful night. Thank you, spencer. There’s no reason to thank me. All I did was place a few phone calls, one to the hotel, another to the restaurant, and then to the ticket concierge. It’s not a big deal. Well, though everything has been wonderful, I’m not talking about the reservations. I know how hard it is for you to get away, and you have to deal with esme and be there for ace. And I just want to let you know how grateful I am that you made time for us. I love us. Me too. And… I love you, spencer cassadine. So very much.

God. I can’t believe this is all my fault. This is not on you, mom. Oh, michael, it is, too! I’m the one who insisted on investing in aurora. I’m the one who took my chance and I put all my money into that stock. That’s what led to the insider-trading charges. You had no idea that was gonna happen. Yes, someone is to blame, but it’s not you. Whoever called the sec, they’re to blame. Do you still think it was ned? There’s no way to know. Now that he thinks he’s — he’s eddie maine, we may never know, but I’m — I’m working on it. What do you mean, you’re working on it? I may have a lead on the whistleblower, okay, but — really? Yes, but that’s not gonna get drew out of prison any sooner. I’ll fill you in later, but right now we need to focus on getting him home. Okay. Okay. I reached out to diane. And she thinks that our best strategy is to put pressure on the judge to either reduce or commute drew’s sentence. Okay, well, how do we do that? I have some information on the judge, and I’m gonna use it. And these days, all the kids get a trophy. And wiley didn’t understand it at first, since, you know, they lost every game. He said, “mom, I thought only winners get trophies.” So I told him everyone is a winner at tee-ball. Ah. Well… has he maybe tried soccer? Oh, no. Young mr. Corinthos wouldn’t even consider it. I’m afraid wiley takes after his dad. He is so stubborn. He will not give up no matter how many times he strikes out. Aww.

[ Laughs ] Nina came last week, and she could not believe how committed our slugger is. Wow. Well, that must mean that you and nina are getting along, huh? It’s going better than I ever imagined. Nina’s been respecting boundaries. She always calls to make sure it’s okay to come over. She’s great with the kids. And wiley loves his grandmother. Lights up when he sees her. I’m so happy that things are going better. That’s great. And how’s michael doing with all this? I mean, has his opinion of nina changed? Like I said… michael’s stubborn. Something happen between you and michael? No. No. It’s not michael. It’S…gladys. What did she do now? Well, sonny, she’s in serious debt. She owes a lot of money to selina wu. Well, that’s somebody you don’t want to mess with. How’d you find out? She came to me. She came to my office. She asked me for money. She wanted me to bail her out because she was too afraid to approach you. Let me guess how she got into this hole. Gambling. She lost a lot of money. Apparently she’s been playing for months. Damn it! The hell is wrong with gladys?! Didn’t she see what gambling did to mike? It pretty much destroyed his life! What was she thinking?! Well, that’s the point, sonny. She wasn’t thinking. And I hate to tell you this, but it gets worse. Before she came to me, she found another way to get the money. How? Gladys was stealing money from sasha. Here’s to the end of the wyndemere era. Good riddance to this place and everything that happened here. Is this how it ends between us, ava? You turned my own son against me? You saw fit to weaponize spencer! I can’t take credit for that. You did it all by yourself. When avery is gone, I guarantee you will feel an emptiness in your soul like I will for the rest of your life.

[ Grunts ] Unh! We have a saying in the U.S. “Follow the money.” That’s what led us here. Is there anything you can tell us? Nikolas indeed has a substantial amount of money with us, but it’s separate from the cassadines’ estate. As you know, the assets are entailed, so they belong to the estate and can only be used by the designated heir. Nikolas has several separate accounts. A large amount was sent to him by his uncle victor. My condolences on his death. Oh, that won’t be — are there… has there been any recent activity in nikolas’ accounts? Yes, as a matter of fact, there’s been quite a bit. There have been several withdrawals at this bank. Well, have you seen him, then? No, but let me print out all the records for you. I’ll be back in a second. Thank you. Thank you very much. This could mean that nikolas is alive. Oh, kevin. I hope so. I do not believe you. What? That I’m in love with you? You better believe it. No, no, no. It took you so long to say it. I was just professing my love to you back in the hotel room, and then you didn’t say anything back, so I just assumed that — that I didn’t feel the same way. Well, I didn’t know. Why didn’t you say anything back then? Well, I learned a thing or two from aunt stella. She said good things come to those who wait. Okay, well, I would have waited an eternity to hear you say those words. And I’m so glad that you finally did. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not exactly the most patient person in the world, trina. Oh, no. You?!

[ Laughs ] What are you thinking about, spencer? How I am the luckiest guy in the world. I’ve loved you for so very long, trina. Since the day that I met you. That was a long time ago, wasn’t it? We’ve certainly been through a lot since then.

Just the way you say my name trina!

[ Gasps ] Thank you for catching me, mr. Cassadine. Well, I’ll always be there to catch you, ms. Robinson.

You make me catch my breath

I knew the night we met

I was never leaving trina: They’re beautiful. Spencer: Every time I look at those figurines, I think about how much I missed you last christmas. Just like these two doves, we are a matched pair. We belong together. Do I make your life better or just harder? Seems like you’re there for me when it’s important. No, it seems like I’m always the one who is getting you into dangerous situations. That’s okay. I wouldn’t change it. Spencer!

Ohh, I need yes! Yes! Yes!

Here and now, kiss me now

baby, you’re my everything trust that I’m not going anywhere.

Hold me close

all I know, here’s where I want to be the best is yet to come.

So you’re telling me that gladys is stealing from her daughter-in-law. Yeah, gladys has been siphoning money from sasha’s bank account for months until she drained it. And she was desperate because she still owed selina wu a lot of money. And then when sasha came to gladys and said that she wanted to end the conservatorship, then she panicked. Gladys doesn’t want anyone to know what she’s been doing. Sasha came to me months ago and said she felt stronger and she didn’t need a guardian. Gladys told me that… she was against ending the guardianship. Are you trying to tell me that she… tried to make sure this didn’t happen? Sonny, gladys did a lot more than just that. I get where michael’s coming from. I really do. We all know how carly feels about nina, but, man, I just keep getting reminded. Not only is life short, it is so fragile. We shouldn’t just waste our time arguing with people and holding grudges.

[ Inhales sharply ] It just takes too much energy. I know. After losing my mother, I realized how important family is. I mean, harmony was never really my family, but the quartermaines are. Mm. I feel so blessed to be a part of them. They are so generous and loving and — and crazy. And stubborn. And combative. And —

[ Laughs ] I know, I know. But I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Neither would I.

[ Faucet squeaks ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Screams ] Okay. Here are the current records for mr. Cassadine’s accounts. Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh. Wow! Ha. There are quite a few withdrawals, aren’t there? And these dates line up. They started just a few months ago. Yeah, right after nikolas went missing. And my colleagues tell me the withdrawals were made in person by mr. Cassadine. Uh, as you can see, there’s a recent transfer for a substantial amount. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] I will leave you with these records. I have to attend to another matter. Thank you. I — you’ve been so helpful. I can’t thank you enough. Always a pleasure, laura. And nice meeting you, dr. Collins. We appreciate you looking into this. Thank you. Of course. He’s alive. My son is alive. Oh, thank god! And this might lead us to him. Ohh. Would you like to see our dessert menu? No, thank you. We have to get going. I’ll take the check. Thank you.

What are we thinking?

[ Laughs ] I’m not thinking. I’m tired of thinking. I don’t want to think anymore. Me neither. Gladys insisted that sasha needed to leave ferncliff now. I mean, she needed to get away from this so-called doctor that was taking care of her, and the only way to do that was to pay this guy off. Son of a bitch! Yeah, well, a lot of stuff happened, but the bottom line is, cody bell broke sasha out of ferncliff. Dante’s friend? Yeah. I mean, somehow he got into ferncliff and he took her with him. Gladys said that cody kidnapped her, but I don’t buy that. I am sorry that gladys put you in this position. No, I-I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you earlier. I was just trying to fix it myself. Anyway, you do not need to apologize. Gladys is family. I’ve put up with this way too long. That’s on me. Gladys will be dealt with. Thanks for coming to see me.

[ Monitor beeping ] So, diane said this judge is hoping to get a seat on the circuit court, and it’s really important because it’s a stepping stone to the supreme court. What does that have to do with drew’s sentence? He was hoping to look good. I mean, he may have given drew a harsher sentence because he wanted to look good to the justice department. I don’t know, michael. I don’t know. I know it’s all speculation and it’s gonna be really tough to prove actual misconduct. What if we don’t have to prove it? What if the appearance of misconduct is enough? What do you mean? Well, let’s say that we get this story out in the press. Maybe drew’s case gains some traction. Yes! We could get alexis to run a piece in the invader, and that would put pressure on the judge! We have to tread lightly, though, because alexis is a former attorney and she’s scrupulous. Alexis wouldn’t run a hit piece on judge kim just because you ask her to. She wouldn’t do it for me. But there’s someone else she’d do it for. What the hell are you doing here? Did giles let you in? What? The guy in the penguin suit? Oh, he’s long gone. What do you want, mason? Well, it depends. What are you offering? Nothing. I said my piece yesterday, so get out of here! I said get out of here, or I’ll call the cops! Go for it. We’ll be long gone before they even get here. We? Yeah. Spencer…

it’s your love

I’m caught up in the midst of it

feel my touch, such a rush

right here in the thick of it

now I see you’re all I need

here and now, kiss me now

baby, you’re my everything

hold me close, all I know

here’s where I want to be

just the way you say my name

it pulls me closer in

you make me catch my breath

I knew the night we met

I was never leaving

and now I see you’re all I need

here and now

kiss me

now

Ahh. Alexis just doesn’t write a story at anyone’s request, so who are we talking about here? I’ll let you know when it works. But you — you said you had a lead on who tipped off the sec. Yeah. You know how I was convinced that it had to be ned. But then before eddie surfaced, ned said that he had nothing to do with it. Yeah, and olivia insists that ned is innocent. And until ned knows who he is, we’re not gonna get any information there. I know. I know. So I’ve taken other steps to get to the bottom of this. I was able to cultivate a contact at the sec. We are going to find out who turned you and drew in. That’s a promise. You know, honey, we can’t fix anything tonight, so why don’t we just — why don’t we go to bed? Okay? Come on. Yeah. What’s all that? Oh, this is just a few things that olivia said she was gonna send me for wedding planning. I thought it was a few things and not “war and peace.” I mean, meghan and harry had less paperwork. It’s gonna take me forever to get through all this stuff. You know, I just — I’m just not in the right head space for any of this. You got a lot on your plate. I do. I do. I’m up to my neck in the december issue of crimson. And get this — we were supposed to have a photo shoot. No, we are gonna have a photo shoot tomorrow, but my model, she bailed on me last-minute, so we’re in a scramble to try to find somebody el– you know what? It doesn’t even matter. The most important thing is us. The only thing that matters is planning our wedding. No. Actually, the only thing that matters… is getting married. How can — what are you doing here? I came looking for you. Why? I came to warn you. Warn me? About what?!

[ Mouthing words ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] I have no words for you.

[ Laughing ] Wow.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Wow. Ohh… you see anything? I’m looking for a pattern, some clue as to where nikolas might be now. But, you know, it’s this one very large withdrawal. Do you think maybe he opened another account so that he could maybe hide what he’s doing or where he is? Maybe. But we’re not gonna figure out anything right now. Let’s take these back to the hotel for champagne. For champagne? Yes, champagne. This is information worth celebrating. Yes, it is, isn’t it? Oh, yes! My son’s alive, and that is worth celebrating. Oh, my goodness. And our search was not in vain. I’m not going anywhere with you. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. You stay away from me. You ratted us out, ava. Wasn’t smart.

Amy, have you checked on mr. Lamming in 1002? I have, and he’s fine. Good. You look tired. You want me to get you one? Nothing like a little caffeine to help get you through the night shifts. Ooh. No, no, no. I will never sleep tonight if I have one of those. Dr. Finn! Here are the labs you’ve been waiting…for. Thank you. Uh, wait a minute. Why do you both have wet hair? Hey. You know when I’m happiest? When? When I’m with you. Really? Really. I mean it. Hello. I assume you’re here for more money. Yes. I need to make another withdrawal. You just missed your mother. Oh. Did I? Yeah. She was here with her husband. They’re looking for you. See, nikolas, your mother is a very gracious woman. She loves you. And your disappearance… gave her a large amount of pain. Be a good son… and do the right thing. I plan to.

[ Thunder crashes ] Carly: Why aren’t you sleeping? You should be resting. I got some sleep. And then willow came to visit. And I’m sure that I’m going to — I’m gonna nod off again. So I’m good. You — you should go home. You should be with the girls. Josslyn’s with them. They’re fine. I’m not gonna stay long. I just needed to be with you. Even if it’s just to watch you sleep. I love you. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Don’t worry. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re damn right it’s gonna be okay… because I’m gonna make sure of it. Is drew okay? Yeah, I-I think so. It looks like drew will recover. The surgery went well. We had a good visit. I’m really glad I saw him. Willow, what’s wrong? It — it’s — it’s nothing. Willow, if you’re not feeling well, you have to tell me. No, no, it’s — it’s not that. After I left drew’s room, I sat in the lounge for a bit and nodded off. Willow, you’re pushing yourself too hard. You should have waited before going back to work. Okay. I guess I was a bit more tired than I realized. But that’s — that’s not what’s bothering me. I… had the strangest dream about my mother. What, nina? No. Harmony. But it was only a dream. I don’t care about the dress and the flowers and the — the cake. It doesn’t matter! Well, it seems like it matters to you ’cause you’re doing a lot of planning. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I mean, I have, but, you know, it’s all so insignificant right now with everything that has happened this last few months, with sasha being committed and curtis getting shot. I mean, planning a big wedding, I feel really guilty about that because a lot of people that we love are suffering. Yes. I got an idea. You do? What? Why don’t we elope? I’m serious. Listen. All we care about is to say our vows and become husband and wife. You even said that you don’t want to deal with this right now. I know, but — but — sonny, elope? No, it’s — the planning’s gonna be out of control. Olivia’s gonna keep coming to you with, you know, more options. Do we really care what icing is on the cake?

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. It’S… we will fly to the island tomorrow. We will get married. What do you say? I say yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ta-da!

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. So… …what do you think? I think… …it’s perfect. It’s hard to believe that we had to leave port charles just to come all the way down to nyc to spend some quality time together. Not that I’m complaining. Neither am I. Stop right there, partner! Unless you’re lookin’ for trouble.

[ Water sprays ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughter ] Gotcha! Not for long! You can’t get me here!

[ Gasps ] Aah!

[ Laughter ]

[ Water sprays ] Hey, joss. What’s going…on?

[ Laughter ] You must have pulled some serious strings to get a visit at this hour. The warden owes me one. I hope you’ve come to give me good news about drew cain.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] I love you, carly. I love you, too. So much. I’m gonna get you out of pentonville. I have to. Hey. Dr. Montague. Thanks for coming in on such short notice. Well, not a problem at all. Anything I can do to assist. Yeah. We just need to get to the bottom of a few things. I’m happy to help. Great. Follow me right in here. I’ll take your statement.

[ Door closes ] New intake.

[ Police radio chatter ] Uh, I will be recording this, just so you know. Would you like some water? Oh, no, thank you. Go on, dante. Get him. Well, gladys, will you do it? Will you confess and testify against dr. Montague? Please, sasha. If this comes out, sonny will kill me, literally. Like dr. Montague was planning to kill me? But I-I-I didn’t know he was gonna do that. I never wanted to hurt you! No. No, no, no. No. You just wanted me to be locked up and drugged so you could steal my money. Sasha. No. That is not how it was at all. I got in a jam. Things got out of control. You’ve got to believe me. I would never, never agree to that! I love you! Then prove it! Confess and help me put away dr. Montague for good! My frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. For one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Dr. Z!We love your skincare videos. Thanks! My daughter has sensitive skin. Same. Try using all free clear as part of your family’s laundry routine. It tackles impurities without leaving irritating residue for a clean that’s gentle on skin. All free clear. The number one doctor recommended brand for sensitive skin. Okay. Okay. I’m gonna run and pick up the tickets, okay? What? Yeah, I just have an errand to run, and then I’m gonna check on a few of those surprises that I have planned. You’re gonna abandon me? No. No, not at all. I just thought that it might be nice for you to decompress a little bit after the flight. Okay. Yeah. That — that works for me. Okay. But hurry back. Yeah, I am. Of course. It’s not gonna take long. I’ll see you soon, okay? Okay.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles softly ] Hey, mom, it’s me. We just made it to nyc safe and sound. Tell curtis and marshall I said hey. And I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Okay? Bye. Love you. Mommy, we got you! You did! It’s like the O.K. Corral in here, huh?

[ Chuckles ] Here. Thank you. Um, girls, I think we’re gonna have dinner soon. Why don’t you two cowgirls go upstairs and wash up, hm? Girls: Okay. Come on, avery. We’ll ride our horsies upstairs.

[ Laughter ] So, uh… what brings you by? I just wanted to say good night to avery. Yeah. I know that your mom is at the hospital with drew. I just came from there. Oh, yeah. That’s why I’m here holding down the fort. Um, is there any news? Is drew awake? No, not yet, but he’s out of surgery, and the doctors seem very confident that everything went well. That’s so good to hear. Thank you. Yeah. Of course. We’re all worried. Drew doesn’t deserve this. I owe him so much for everything he did to bring trina home. She really means a lot to you, huh? She’s like a daughter. You know, you’ve really done a lot for trina, getting her that internship at the chuck. You’ve taught her pretty much everything she knows about the gallery and the art world. I think that she’s really lucky to have you in her life. I know that she really appreciates you. I appreciate her, too. Okay, well, I better go up and be sure those girls and their horsies aren’t getting into any mischief.

[ Laughs ] Isn’t it a risk, us meeting here? I mean, we’ve been so careful. Relax, mason. The cats are asleep. I’m not worried about the prisoners, cyrus. But the warden? The warden is busy with drew cain. Alright. So tell me what you’ve heard about my friend. Nothing. All austin could find out was that cain was in surgery and… it wasn’t looking good. There are those of us who become casualties in god’s grand scheme. But when you choose the side of the devil, you willingly stake your life on a losing hand.

[ Door opens ] Oh. I’m sorry, ms. Spencer. I didn’t know you were still here. Oh. I-I, um… I wanted to stay until he woke up, you know?

[ Monitor beeping ] He looks so vulnerable hooked up to all this. He’s been through a lot. We have to monitor him closely. After the trauma he experienced and the surgery, he’s likely to be out for the night. Let me know if you need anything. Oh. Um, the doctor said the surgery was a success. Yes. He’s very lucky. Could there be complications at this stage? Try not to worry. How is he? Really. I mean, how is he?

[ Weakly ] He’s doing pretty good.

[ Groans ] Better because

you’re here. Hey. Warden, you really didn’t need to come all this way just to visit drew. I would have been happy to report his condition. Not at all, jordan. This attack should have never happened. I pride myself on the security at pentonville, and this was a major fail. I had to make sure for myself that mr. Cain was okay. You’ve brought so many reforms to the prison. It’s impressive. But we can’t rest on any laurels. Something brutal like this means we have a lot more work to do. I’m eager to see if mr. Cain can shed any light. It’s certainly suspicious, though. The severity and duration of the attack suggest there might have been some coordination between prisoners and guards. Dr. Montague, thank you for coming in. We want to get to the bottom of this. As I’ve told your detective, I’m glad to assist and help recover ms. Gilmore. She’s at risk out on her own.

[ Beep ] This is dr. Damon montague’s statement on the assault by cody bell and the events that happened at ferncliff. Well, um, I found cody bell in one of my patients’ rooms, and he attacked me. Attacked you why? I was making my rounds, and I heard some animated voices coming from a room. When I opened up the door to check it out, cody bell went crazy and he jumped me. So why didn’t you call security before you entered the room? It was a room for one of my troubled patients. Sasha gilmore’S. Yes. Yes, she’s very vulnerable, and I was afraid for her life. I’ve been treating her for some time, and, frankly, I’m quite shocked with how much she’s declined since the stabbing episode. And you think cody bell is the one who attacked you? Yes, he jumped me, and we fought. But mr. Bell was crazed, and he knocked me out. When I came to, I was in the bathroom, tied up, and he had taken my clothes. When cody was arrested, he was wearing the clothes you say he stole from you. And in the pocket, we found these. Can you explain those? H-how — how can I prove it? I-I didn’t know what montague was planning to do! But you knew him from your card games. You got him to give me pills that messed with the antidepressants I was already taking. You and dr. Montague did that to make me look unstable so that you could keep the guardianship going. I was desperate. I am so sorry. Well, if you’re really sorry, then there’s only one choice. Help me put an end to dr. Montague. He has to be stopped. Okay. Okay. I will do whatever you want.

[ Sighs ] You will? I will go to the police, tell them everything dr. Montague did. Okay. Well, I have to wait here. But this is your last chance, gladys. I am trusting you. Of course. Of course. I won’t — I won’t let you down. I feel so terrible. Hey, hey. Make sure to not tell anyone that you saw me, okay? This has to come from you speaking from your own conscience. Okay?

[ Sighs, sniffles ] Hello. I have information about an escaped fugitive.

So, dr. Montague… what do you have to say about these pills? I have never seen those before in my life. But it makes sense. How so? Well, it appeared that sasha was getting drugs from inside ferncliff. Maybe cody was her dealer.

[ Sighing ] Alright. Well, uh, that definitely does help us clarify some things, dr. Montague. Thanks for your cooperation. We may need to speak to you again. I’m at your disposal. Okay. We’ll be in touch. Oh, no, no, no. H-hold on. Y-you’re letting him go?!

[ Grunts ]

[ Knock on door ] Gladys?

[ Knock on door ] Sasha gilmore? No. No. No. Please remain calm. We are only here to escort you back to ferncliff. No, no, no, no! I can’t go back there! Please. Please. You’re making a mistake. I cannot go back to ferncliff. Please. Please.

[ Gasps ] Gladys. Why? Why, gladys?! Why?! You’re awake. Oh, my god. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. No. I’m sorry. No. Come back. Get over here.

[ Laughs ] Welcome back, mr. Cain. How are you feeling? Uh…good. I mean…I’m here. Okay, but you’ve been through a rough surgery. You have to be very careful not to exert yourself too much.

[ Exhales heavily ] Yes, ma’am. I’ll let the doctor know you’re awake. If you need any help with pain management, just buzz me. Make sure he doesn’t overdo it? Oh. I will.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. I’m so glad you’re awake. It was so hard w-watching you lay here like this. I’m so sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s not okay. You were only in pentonville because of me. Carly, come on. You’re not to blame. I’m fine. How can you say that? You were only attacked because of me. And sonny.

[ Beeping continues ] Warden garten: You think there could have been collusion between prisoners and my staff at pentonville? It’s certainly suspicious. Drew’s injuries indicate a lengthy fight. I’d like an investigation into who was on duty during the attack.

[ Elevator bell chimes ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Ready to help me? Put that over there. Donna. Okay, sweetheart. I have to take this. Yeah. In. Nice job. Trina! What are you doing? Where’s spencer? He went to go pick up the tickets for the theater. But we’re here! Look at this place!

Oh, my god. It’s amazing.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Wait. Tell me everything. How was the flight? I’m assuming you flew first-class.

Joss. Oh, come on. Enjoy it.

[ Sighs ] Okay. It was amazing. Spencer has this special key, which meant that we get to board first.

And they treated us

like royalty. They gave us these heated nuts, and then they gave us little mints and fresh-baked cookies when we landed. Was there a driver waiting for you? With the sign — “cassadine.” And the driver took us directly to the car, and we didn’t have to wait for the luggage.

Wow.

Say what you want

about spencer, but that guy’s got game. Yeah, he really does.

So…? So, what? So, are you excited? I mean, this is huge! You and spencer haven’t really been able to explore your relationship since greenland. I mean, tonight’s the night. Josslyn!

Trina, it’s your first time with spencer. Okay? How are you feeling? I mean, I know that you’ve thought about it. You still feel ready? Absolutely.

[ Sighs ] I’ve been ready for a while now, and we’re never alone. Well, you’re alone now. Yeah, we are. I feel really good about spencer. We’re in a really great place right now. I’m so happy for you!

Okay. Go. Go. Get ready for your night.

But call me later

with every detail.

Maybe not all

of the details. Just know that I’m here for you, okay, no matter what.

Okay. Oh, is that ava? Is she there with you? Yes, she — she came by to say hi to avery. Um, listen. Have a great night. You know it. Tell ava I said hey. Okay. I will. Love you. Love you more.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Door opens ] Okay! We are all…set. I picked up the tickets, and everything else is running on schedule. “Everything else”? Mm-hmm. What else do you have in store for us? Oh, you’ll see.

Well, don’t keep me in suspense. I could tell you, but then it would ruin the surprise, so… mm. Okay. Well, don’t ruin the surprise. No, I’m not going to. That would take all of the fun out of this. But I’ll tell you what. We are in the capital of the western world, so what would you like to do? What would I like to do?

[ Sighs ] Everything! Uh, I want to see soho. There’s a couple of galleries that we deal with there. Then I want to go shopping, I want to go eat, and then I really want to see the big four. Oh, the big four? Yeah. Moma, guggenheim, whitney, and the met.

[ Sighs ] I am so glad that you said that. What? Why do you have that smile? I thought we weren’t ruining surprises. You didn’t say it had something to do with a museum. Okay, okay. I’ll tell you.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Saved by the bell.

[ Chuckles ] Cody! Cody! Get off! This isn’t helping! Cody! Get off! Let go of him! Get off me! Okay. Okay. Sorry. Sorry about this. Alright? Dante, you can’t let him walk! Hey! Take him to his cell. -Mac! Mac! -Man, no, we can’t — sasha? What are you doing? You have to be careful. Carly. You are not to blame, okay? It was — it was my choice to help sonny. It’s not your responsibility to fight sonny’s battles. It’s not just sonny’s battles. It’s other injustices, too. But you don’t have to fix everyone’s problems. Look at you. You know that I can’t stand by and I can’t watch all that stuff happen. The — the drug problem itself is heartbreaking enough, okay? If I can help root out the corruption, I am going… to do it every time.

[ Door opens ] Drew. You’re awake. Drew: Mm. You had us so worried. Aw. Thank you, jordan. How you feeling? I’m sore, but I-I’ll be okay. Warden, I’m kind of surprised to see you here. Warden? How the hell could you let this happen to drew? What kind of prison are you running?! I sent you with a message to my nephew’s ex-wife, mason. It’s been more than a handful of days. So, what was the dear lady’s response? Um, well, she’s not the one that we have to worry about. Betty’s the problem. What are these?! Um, t-those are chopsticks. You eat with them. Chopsticks!

[ Laughs ] Thank you for getting the delivery. Oh. Yeah. Of course. So, h-how was trina? Oh, I mean, she’s great. She says hi, by the way. Her and spencer made it to new york. Mm. That’s great. I hope she has the time of her life. I’m sure she will. Well, joss, thank you for being here with avery. I know things haven’t been easy. I-I’ll get out of your hair. Ava, we have way too much food for three people. Would you like to stay for dinner? Well, I would like that very much. Thank you. Okay, cowgirls! I think we need some more chopsticks ’cause I’m staying for dinner! Hooray! Yay!

[ Cork pops ] Champagne? Yes, please. There you are. And we’re done.Hm, what about these? Looks right.

You’re supposed to be protecting the inmates! Carly. Warden garten’s on the same page as us about getting justice for drew. She’s here to help us brainstorm on how we can reopen the case and maybe get it before another judge. Sorry. I — I am really upset about all this. I understand perfectly. And, mr. Cain, I owe you a deep apology. The warden wants to drew out of pentonville just as much as we do. I’m just as upset as you are, miss spencer. Drew ending up in a hospital bed was never the outcome I wanted for him. I feel terrible. And I wanted to see if you could shed any light on the situation. The only important thing is to get drew out of pentonville. I couldn’t agree more. Listen. I’m — I’m sorry, boss. I really thought we could trust betty. She may have gotten too cocky and let down her guard and showed corinthos her cards. Is that what you think happened? Well, it’s possible she turned on us. You know, sonny’s a very powerful figure. Um, and persuasive. So she may have decided to strike a deal with him. Sasha! What happened?! Gladys! What did you do to her?! Dante, you better see to getting miss gilmore back to ferncliff. No! No! I can’t go back there! Please. Mac. Mac. Hold on. Dante, don’t do it. Make sure nothing happens. They’re expecting her. You can’t take her back there! Dante, please. Ferncliff? Sasha, it’s okay. It’s just for a little bit just so we can sort this out. No! No! Please, dante! Sasha. Sasha. It’ll be okay. I will get you out of there somehow! Um, listen. Would you mind waiting? Um, I need to take cody back to processing, and then I’ll be back to follow up with you. Thank you for calling and letting us know sasha’s whereabouts. I was just trying to help my poor daughter-in-law. Mac, do not trust her. She’s behind all of this. Please. Please. Cody, let’s go. Come on. -Mac, I’m telling you. -Let’s go! You have to look more into what gladys is doing! Mac: Go! Oh, my gosh. Look at all of this. Is that really caviar?

[ Chuckles ] I know it’s a little bit cheesy, but I just couldn’t resist. I figured, why not go all-out? Well, let’s go.

[ Chuckles ] I’m really happy that you were able to come along this weekend. I know you’re really busy right now, what with school starting and finishing that paper. Which I finished, no thanks to you. Well, I can’t help wanting to spend all of my free time with you. And I’m really glad that ava was able to give you some time off from your duties at the gallery. Yeah. Of course. I mean, it’s no trip to turks and caicos like you wanted during hurricane season, when probably we would have been stranded on some island for some weeks before we got rescued. So you discovered my master plan — being marooned, just the two of us, on an island. Mm. Well, when you put it like that, it does kind of sound nice. Just the two of us. I am sorry that it’s taken us so long for us to have some alone time with each other. It’s okay. No, it’s not. I just had to be sure that esme wasn’t going to run away with my little brother. But I’m glad that she turned out to be dependable. Did we come all this way just to talk about esme?

[ Chuckles ] No. No, of course we didn’T.

We do have a dinner reservation to get to. Hm. Yeah. Okay, well, let’s get to it.

[ Chuckles ] We don’t have to go so fast. We haven’t even done a proper toast yet. Then let’s do a toast. To the woman I love. To us. To us. Okay. Okay.

[ Clears throat ] Dinner. A quick shower.

[ Door closes ] Rest assured diane and I are exploring all legal loopholes and case precedents. We’re doing everything we can. Thank you, jordan. I know you’re really going above and beyond. No, drew. We’re just doing what has to be done. You shouldn’t be in pentonville, and we’re gonna solve this problem and get you out. -Thank you. -We’re in this together. Warden, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you anything helpful about the fight. The attack! You were attacked! Don’t worry about that, drew. You just focus on your healing. And I’ll see you soon. Or hopefully not. Okay. Wait a second. Isn’t there something we can do to make sure drew doesn’t go back to pentonville? Some kind of medical exemption? We’re looking into that. Don’t worry, miss spencer. We will do everything we can to make sure nothing like this happens again. You have my word. Thank you. Carly: Okay. That’s good. You know? I mean, thank god we’re not in this alone. Hopefully diane and jordan — they can come up with some kind of a miracle, right? Hey. What? Come sit with me. Please? Okay. We’re alone. Together. No talking about prison or trials or any of that. Just — just…

[ Groans ] Just the two of us. God. I mean, I was so worried, dex. Why was drew a target for such a brutal beating in the first place? I mean, thank god he’s awake.

[ Clears throat ] I — um, I got to go. I’ll call you in a little. The girls are all washed up, ready for bed. Okay. The playroom is still a bit of a mess, though. Oh, well. That’s nothing new. And they’re waiting for the bedtime story that you promised. Okay. So is there any — any word about drew? Yes. My mom called. He’s awake. Well, that’s a relief. Drew shouldn’t have gone to prison in the first place. I mean, who the hell tipped off the sec? They could have gotten him killed. You okay, gladys? How can I be? Thanks to you, my daughter-in-law has completely lost touch with reality! Yes, it is really sad. But she’s gonna be taken care of in ferncliff. I’m gonna see to it personally. No! No, dante, please. Sasha. We’re gonna get you out of here, okay? I promise you that. No. Please. I-I don’t belong here. Okay? I-I-I shouldn’t be — no, no, no! Orderly: This is for your own good. Come on. Is that really necessary? Hey, it’s part of the intake order. Please, please, dante. Do something. Look. It’s best that you leave. Sasha, we’re gonna get you out. We’re gonna get you out. Okay? I promise you that!

[ Exhales heavily ] Wow. Trina. Oh, my goodness. You look amazing. You don’t look so bad yourself, mr. Cassadine.

[ Chuckling ] No, no, no. This is one battle you’re not gonna win. Trina, you are breathtaking. Can I help you with your necklace? Necklace? Oh, my gosh. Spencer. It’s beautiful. May I? I wanted you to have something permanent. That way, you would always be able to remember our weekend together. Ohh. Perfect. Okay. Dinner awaits. Let’s go to dinner. You think it’s possible that betty was unable to fool corinthos and instead chose to join forces? It’s possible. No, it’s not possible. And you’re an idiot for thinking that. It was an easy job. Betty had no reason to betray me. Sonny accepted her too quickly. Which means ava’s the one who did it. And for that sin, she’ll have to face divine retribution. Oh. But what about cassadine? He — he was very clear about not hurting her. I don’t care what my nephew said. He’s not the one running the show. I am! Get it done!

[ Door slams ] I’m glad to hear that drew’s awake. Well, I’m glad that you came tonight. I think it made things much more normal for the girls. You know, joss, I couldn’t help but hear that you were on your phone with dex. H-how is it having a boyfriend working for sonny? Why do you ask? You may not remember, but I am the daughter of a man whose business dealings weren’t always… “inside” the law. We probably have more in common than you think. And if you really want to know why I want to know, it’s because you’re trina’s best friend. And what affects her matters to me. And I want to be sure that you’re taking care of yourself, that you’ve got your eyes open wide. Because you will need crystal clarity to navigate a relationship with someone in the business. Well, the girls were hoping for “hoppity moppity kuddly kangaroo.” Okay. Take care, joss. You too.

[ Door opens and closes ] Oh, hey, nina. It’s me. I just found out that — that drew woke up. So you won’t have his death on your conscience. I hope if anything good comes out of all of this, it’s that we can finally get justice for drew and push for a retrial. Drew doesn’t belong in pentonville. I’ll help in any way I can to ensure an early release. Thank you, jordan. Mac, you can’t let sasha stay at ferncliff. Dr. Montague — dr. Montague isn’t gonna do anything to sasha. She is not safe there. It’s only for a little while. We’ll get sasha out but going through the proper channels. Mac. Don’t worry. We’re doing everything we can. Let’s go.

[ Sobbing ] Cody…

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

eddie maine. Hey, marshall. Are you — are you ready for the big night? Yeah. Yes, I am. And thanks again for booking me tonight. I appreciate it. Oh, no need to thank me. I just made a suggestion. It was curtis that got the pr machine rolling. When curtis throws a party, people want to come. Yeah. I wasn’t sure after that crowd the other night.

[ Both chuckle ] You mean “lack of crowd.” Yeah. And we’re gonna try and keep that a thing of the past. Oh, zip! I’m just checking in, man. You got everything you need? I do. Uh, I’m just finalizing the set list here. N’neka: Excuse me. Marshall? And there’s just… h-hang on a minute. What is it, love? …Just one problem. Look at this. Stage all set up for your father to play. It’s surreal witnessing eddie maine’s universe taking physical form. Brook lynn, your father, he is — he is so excited about this. And I’m just — I’m getting all caught up in it with him. You say that like it’s a bad thing. No, no, no. No, no, no. It’s not that. It’s not that. You’re still hoping that his half-finished song helps him remember who you are, who we all are. No. Not who we are. Who he is. Brook lynn, I-I know that you think I’m crazy hanging all this hope on a — on a half-finished song, but…there was something in him when he played it for me. And talking about muses and — and everything, I just felt it in my heart that — that there was something deeper in there. Like — like ned was — was underneath… wanting to climb out, you know, and this song was his way back to us. And e-even when he was recording it, there was a minute in there that I — that I just felt that he was about to remember something. And then marshall offered him this gig and the challenge to finish the song and — and play it here tonight. Honey, I’m just — I’m so afraid [Exhales sharply] I’m getting my hopes up over something. Maybe it’s just a — a very beautiful song that doesn’t mean anything at all. Olivia, don’t worry.

[ Sighs ] At least eddie accepts us all now. Right? He’s getting to know us in a new way. What if he gets to know us… and he decides that he doesn’t feel the same way about us that he used to?

The role of molly lansing-davis is now being played by kristen vaganos.

Hey, uncle curtis. Tj, molly. Alright, I’m glad you guys could make it. We’re looking forward to having a good time. Kinda like this party’s just for us tonight. We do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, you do. And I’m glad I get to celebrate with you. Olivia, I’m so sorry. There’s someone I got to see. Go. Hey, blaze, you got my text. I’m so glad you made it. Yeah. Thanks for the invite. I’ve never heard of eddie maine. Well, he’s a little before our time. So it’s a comeback? Oh, he’s come back alright. Eddie maine’s actually my father. Your father? Okay. You said your father was a musician, but isn’t your name quartermaine? Yeah, he — he dropped the quarter and just stuck with the maine. Why don’t the two of you get some drinks on me? -Okay. -Happy to.

[ All chuckle ] Curtis, look how many people are here! Hey, babe. Ah, well, you know, um, I just put some feelers out, talked to some old friends — people I haven’t seen in a while. That was it. Well, when you call, they come. Well, dad wanted to pack the house for eddie maine’s debut. He asked me to pull out all the stops. And voil. Voil. Oh. I wish trina was here to see this. Where are my red pumps? I just had them earlier. Here you go. Oh, my god. Thank you. T, you have got to calm down, alright? Everything is going to be okay. This is spencer’s fault that I’m late. Hello, my name is spencer cassadine. I’m calling to confirm concierge service for my flight to new york. We will be on time. Okay. Perfect. I will see you soon. Uh, spencer, you left this in the kitchen. I thought you might want it for your trip to new york. How’s it going in here? Get anything out of this guy? Uh, shouldn’t be too much longer. Right.

[ Door closes ] Sam. Hey. Is dante here? He’s in the interrogation room with a prisoner — cody bell? Oh. Is he expecting you? No, but, um, I’ll shoot him a text and let him know that I’m here. You know what? Forget that. I’ll announce you. I’d rather watch college football. You know, it’s — it’s less predictable, raw. Cody, no way. By the time they get to the pros, it’s — no. Absolutely — dante. Sam’s here to see you. How about I, uh, let her in and you all can tell me what’s really going on here?

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh.

[ Knock on door ] I’m almost ready, but… I thought you were going to text.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Gasps ] Sasha! Oh! Thank god!

did you have a desk sergeant notify gladys corbin that cody bell was in custody knowing that she would show up here and that I would be the one to deal with her? Yes, but it’s only ’cause I knew you could handle it, man. I’m sorry. Didn’t want to do that to you, but… well, I could

barely handle her. That woman is crazy! The only reason she gave up and left is because she got a phone… …a phone call. But you know all about that, don’t you? Look, we have reason to believe that gladys has been embezzling from sasha. What? That call… that’s how gladys found out… that she was being investigated. I’m so glad to see you, sasha. Really? Well, it sounds like you were expecting someone else. Well, um [Chuckles nervously] W-where have you been? H-how did you get away from cody? The police have him in custody, but no one had seen you, and he refused to say what had happened. I mean… I feared for the worst. I was so afraid for you. Were you? Of course. Well… what’s with the suitcase and all the clothes, gladys? Were you going somewhere? Sorry about that, eddie. You were saying? Oh, I was just saying how much I appreciate the chance to play. Oh, man, don’t I know it? As a musician, there’s no substitute for performing. It’s not only a reward, it’s — it’s the greatest teacher, shows you what’s working, what needs help, keeps all the creative juices flowing. And it’s a great way to test new material. Speaking of which, brother, I cannot wait to hear your new song.

[ Exhales sharply ] About that…

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] Alright, guys, look, uh, I think this is the set list. I decided to put that idle rich song right there instead, so someone can just make a copy of that.

[ Knock on door ] Eddie? Um, uh, yeah, so we’re good? -We’re good for tonight? -Yes. Cool. And thanks again for coming in early for the quick run-through. Go get yourself a beer. -Alright. -See you later. Cool.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Sorry. I didn’t mean to drive everyone away. No, not at all. You know musicians. Any excuse to get a beer. Right. [ Chuckles ] Listen, I just came to tell you that I know you’re going to do great tonight. I just wish my mom was here to see it. I — I know you — you don’t remember, but, um, growing up, I heard countless stories about eddie’s performances, you know, listening to cds. And now here I am, about to hear it live for myself. I can’t wait.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, brook lynn. Yeah. Break a leg, eddie.

[ Door closes ] Hey. Hey. Congratulations on being brook lynn’s first client. I’m absolutely thrilled. She’s going to do a great job for you. There is nobody more dedicated than brook lynn when she puts her mind to something. Then that’ll make two of us. I plan to match her dedication.

[ Laughs ] Okay, so tell me about eddie maine. He’s brook lynn’s father? She was a little vague about it. Yeah, that — that — that’s a long story. That’s what she said. Mm… let’s just say it’s been a while since eddie’s performed in front of people other than busking in rice plaza, so we’re all a little bit on edge tonight. So how are the soon-to-be parents? Still on cloud nine. Yep, yep. Aww! We wanted to tell my mom tonight, but she had to cancel at the last minute. Oh, well… but we’ll tell her soon. I just want the whole family to be in the loop. Well, all you got to do is tell aunt stella. Ooh.

[ Laughs ] I mean…

[ Laughter ] Uncle? Uncle? I’m not touching that.

[ Laughs ] Michael, lighten up. Seriously. Willow was cleared by a team of doctors, and she’s already back at work. Yeah, I know, but it doesn’t mean that you got to come out the gate like a bull, though. I mean… coming to a club is not charging out of the gate.

[ Chuckles ] It’s just — it’s just, your first day back at work, I figured you’d want to stay at home and relax after all that exposure and stress. A night out will help reduce the stress. And the exposure is actually good for my immune system.

And vodka does wonders to keep things sterile. Okay. Sorry, kristina. Just sparkling water for me tonight. Oh, no, of course. You, on the other hand, if you are not careful, michael, you’re going to turn out to be as type-a and controlling as molly.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Suitcase zipping ] Esme. Hey, there you are. I want to go over everything one more time before I leave. Spencer, you can’t go. Hey, how’s eddie doing? He is not nearly as nervous as we are. He was just going over the set list with the band. Oh, well, maybe that means that he finished the song. I don’t know. He’s — he’s being so tight-lipped about it all. Well, he didn’t say anything to me. Maybe he wants it to be a surprise or something?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. Okay. Okay. I’m going to go thank marshall and curtis. It’s really marshall’s challenge that made this whole thing possible. Okay. So, olivia told me the whole long story about eddie. What a history. Oh, yeah. That history has crash landed right into the present day. That must be so strange. I guess you knew that your dad had that double life back in the day, but now after his head injury, he’s really become this guy eddie maine? That’s what he believes. So, there’s your dad, except he’s a completely different person? How does that even work? About as well as you can expect. I miss my dad, of course, but I’m really starting to like eddie. I mean, we all are. Everyone except for my grandmother. You see all these happy people here? You think they’re here for eddie maine? Nah. Nah, they’re here for you. Pop, we already went over this. Curtis… this club is you. You are this club. When you — when you pulled out all those pr stops, you got this. You got this crowd here. You got them here. And it’s because of you that they’re all here to see eddie maine’s big comeback, man. Pop, we’ll talk about it later. But one thing I can say…

[ Sighs ] …Feels good to be back in the mix. And another good reason to be glad you didn’t sell this club to that woman. I haven’t really made a decision on selina’s offer yet. Marshall, curtis, I just want to thank you for supporting eddie tonight. You’re welcome. So what’s going on with you and, uh, molly? See for yourself. Tj, she’s coming over here. It’s okay, mols. Hello, you two. I hear congratulations are in order. You’re gonna be parents!

[ Chuckles ] Well, whether you want to believe it or not, I am very, very happy for you both. Okay. That’s all. You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already? That’s covid-19. So I got this season’s shot designed to keep up to date with recent variants.

[Thwack!] Got it? Listen, your deodorant just has to work.I use secret aluminum free. Just swipe and it lasts all day. Secret helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. And hours later, I still smell fresh. Secret works! Ohhh yesss. Why give your family just ordinary eggs when they can enjoy the best? Eggland’s best. The only eggs with more fresh and delicious taste. Plus, superior nutrition. Because the way we care is anything but ordinary. Schwarzkopf keratin colortransforms your ha ir and helps it break away from damage for strength and a rich striking color on all hair textures. Let the world see your strength. Schwarzkopf keratin color. My frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. For one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Yeah, whilecody isn’t innocent — he had to break some rules to help out sasha — but he’s not as guilty as the charges would imply. Yeah, it’s just a matter of getting the evidence to prove it. Wow. I never would have thought gladys would do something like that to sasha. But thank you for figuring it out. Yeah, we’re all grateful for that. Look, sasha’s a friend. So if there’s anything that I can do to help take down that doctor and prove yours and sasha’s innocence, just, uh, ask. Yeah. Well, my part’s done. What happens next is up to sasha. I was packing to go search for you, sasha. Really? I would go to the ends of the earth for you. Oh, is that where you were going? O-or where were you planning to look? I…thought I would check out where cody came from originally. Um, finger lakes region, right? Um, I mean, maybe he had an accomplice. Cody did not have an accomplice. But you did. What is with spencer? I couldn’t get rid of him before, and now he’s late? Trina, spencer will be here, okay? He wouldn’t miss this for anything. Aren’t you excited? Of course. I’m just… a little nervous, which is to be expected. Yeah, it is. Joss… I don’t want to back out. Spencer and I are ready to move to the next step, and I really want to explore new york with him. Did I tell you that he got us third-row center seats to “moulin rouge!”? Yes, once or twice.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Gasps ] Finally. Spencer. Hey, where are you? I’m still at my grandmother’S. What? What are you doing there? I thought you said we had to — trina, we can’t go. We can’t? Why not? Ace’s daycare called, and one of the kids has chickenpox. I guess that ace was exposed and now there’s a chance that he has it. I’m really sorry, but… I can’t leave him right now.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Guitar strumming ]

The siren waits for me

[ Muffled ]

Siren of the sea I know she’s out there, beckoning me da-da

[ Sighs ] Hey. Hey. I’m not intruding? Oh, no, no. Come on in.

[ Door closes ] Come on in. Uh, you missed the sound check. Oh, I’m sorry. I — I didn’t want to — I didn’t want to crowd you. You know, I know that’s a technical time to work out the kinks and all of that. Truth.

[ Sighs ] Plus, I’d rather have you be there for the full effect of the, you know, on stage, in front of the audience. That’s what I’m looking forward to. Wow. You… you really aren’t nervous at all, are you? Eh, a little bit. But that’s only natural. You know, this is in my blood. It’s what I live for. It really is, isn’t it? Well, I — I —

[ Chuckles nervously ] I just — I just came here to wish you good luck, and… and I wanted to bring you a gift. Oh. That’s nice.

[ Laughs ] Dinosaurs? Yeah. Leo wanted you to have it. Ah. He said, “tell eddie to rock the house tonight.” Well…

This is such a nice gift. Thank you for coming back to give it to me. Olivia? What’s wrong? Nothing. I — I just… I just wanted to wish you good luck. Or break a leg or whatever it is… that you say. Well, with leo’s bandana and your great mojo, I’m bound to be a hit. I know you will be, eddie. And I, um, I just… I can’t wait to hear that song. Hopefully you finished it, and we really find out who that — that siren in the sea… really is. Uh, yeah. This is detective falconeri. I need a records check on a dr. Damon montague. Yeah. Priors, prescription history, job history — all that kind of stuff. Yeah, that’s right. That’s the name. Hang up.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Yeah. Thank you. That’d be great. Yeah, as soon as you can. Thanks.

[ Sighs ] What can I do for you, scott? I’m here to see my client, cody bell. How was sasha doing? She was strong. She was ready to face gladys.

[ Breathes deeply ] I should have never left her alone. No, cody. She was determined to see this through. I — I wanted to go with her, but she refused. And if I didn’t think she was strong enough to handle this herself, I would have insisted on going with her. You know, I — I can’t help it, sam.

[ Exhales sharply ] Gladys is dangerous. She’s been able to manipulate sasha in the past. What if somehow she does it again? W-what are you talking about? What — what accomplice? Dr. Montague.

[ Chuckles nervously ] Okay. You must be confused. The court appointed the doctor. I mean… it’s perfectly u-understandable after everything you’ve been through. I get it. Why don’t you sit down? And I’ll make you some tea. I don’t want tea, gladys. And I am not confused anymore. I know exactly what you did. All I’ve ever done — steal from me! You used your position as my guardian to drain my bank accounts. You sold brando’s garage behind my back. Your own son’s blood and sweat, and you treated it like it was nothing! I told you why I had to — stop it! You stop talking right now! I know everything, gladys. Everything that has happened to me is because you were worried that you would lose your meal ticket. So when I wanted to end the guardianship, when I wanted to get control of my life… you panicked. I might discover everything you stole from me. So you got dr. Montague to help you cover it up, huh? And that’s why he prescribed me those pills. Pills that interfered with the medication I was already taking. I started hallucinating, gladys. I was paranoid and scared. You drove me to insanity. You made my life a nightmare!

[ Sobbing ] And you know what the worst part is, gladys?

[ Sniffles ] I actually… I actually thought that you loved me. How could you do something like this? How could you betray me at my lowest point when I trusted you with my entire life?! Hey, babe. Hey! Hi. Good to see you. Blaze! It is great to see you. Hey, former partner. Great to see you, too. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me. Blaze just signed with me. She’s my kick-off artist.

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations to — to both of you. No, I can see this. This is a great partnership in the making. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I got to borrow my stepdaughter for a minute. Okay. Uh, don’t go anywhere. Okay. Olivia, what’s wrong? What? Is something wrong with eddie? No, no. Eddie’s fine. I just made a complete fool of myself. W-what? What happened? I went into the green room. I was going to give him the — the — the bandana that leo wanted him to have, and he was saying thank you to me, and he pulled me in close. I thought he was trying to kiss me, but he just wanted to give me a hug. And I just… felt so embarrassed. I started babbling about “break a leg” and all this. I ran out of the room b-babbling — a complete idiot. Okay, olivia. Okay, just calm down. Just take a minute. What’s the problem? I wanted to kiss him! I wanted to kiss eddie maine! I feel so guilty. Is — is this like — it’s like — it’s like I almost cheated on my husband. With your husband, you mean?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what I mean anymore.

[ Sighs ] You can stop checking on me, michael. I am fine. Better than fine. I just can’t take my eyes off you. You’re too beautiful. You were saying? Hey. Look over there. Isn’t that…? Oh, my god. It’s tracy. Hi. What can I get you? Uh. Scotch, rocks. Make it a double, please. You got it. Oops. Sorry. My bad.

[ Chuckles ] We meet again. Yeah, I’m here with brook lynn. Oh. She’s my new manager, you know. That’s fantastic. Congratulations. Oh, wait, so that’s what you two were so hush-hush about at charlie’s? Oh, you cracked the case. Nice. What about you? Here with a boyfriend? No. God, no. No, no, no. I-I’m here with my — my brother and his wife. They have two kids, so they don’t get a lot of alone time, and I’m just…you know, giving them their space. Well, brook lynn’s boyfriend just got here, so I’m sort of third wheel with them, too. Sounds like we should stick together. Oh, I like it. Good evening, everyone. -Hey, hey. -Hey. May I have your attention?

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all for coming. We have a lot to celebrate tonight, but firstly, I want to send a shout out to my son, curtis. Curtis ashford, in the house.

[ Cheers and applause ] I know you have all been missing him around here, and many of you have come because of his specific invitation. Now, not only did he invite you to the greatest party this side of port charles — that’s every night except tuesdays — private parties — see the lovely n’neka.

[ Cheers and applause ] Bookings welcome. That’s a commercial, yes.

[ Chuckles ] But seriously, tonight, the savoy is so pleased to bring you a very special performer. And rumor has it he might even debut a new song. So without further ado…

skiddle de bop, shoo bop, jam, bam! Let’s give it up for eddie maine!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ] Hello. Hello. Port charles! Yeah! I missed you. I missed you. Are you ready for eddie?

[ Crowd cheers ] Let’s do it!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I mean, obviously, spencer needs to stay. If ace ends up with chickenpox, he could never forgive himself for leaving. Yeah. I mean… it’s totally understandable. And besides, I have plenty to do this weekend. I really should do another draft of my essay for my art seminar. And I know ava could always use extra hands around the gallery. You know that… you don’t always have to make the best of everything, right? I mean, yeah, it’s a weekend canceled. It’s not a tragedy, but it’S… for sure a letdown, and… it’s okay to be disappointed. Even pissed off? Yeah. Even throw things. Like this? Well, that’s not exactly what I had in mind. Then again, you were always more level-headed. I was just really looking forward to it, though. Hey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Is there any sign of a fever? You know, ace actually seems fine. He’s sound asleep. Okay, well, I’m going to take this stuff upstairs, and I think that one of us should stay up with him, you know, just in case.

[ Cellphone chimes ] We can alternate shifts. Spencer, wait. Um… what? I just got another text from the daycare. Did cody call you to come down here and represent him tonight? Well, I always represent him. And I got a tip that you had hauled him in. And I didn’t get a call from him, so I figured you didn’t give him his call, which as you know, due process. Oh, I can see you’re worried, scott, but, look, there’s a lot of phones here. Cody could have used any one of them to call you. Yeah, yeah, but if you denied him right to counsel, that’s grounds for a heavy lawsuit there, dante. Almost hefty, even. Here. Tell you what. Why don’t you come in here? You can talk to your client. Cody, your lawyer’s here. What? Wait a minute. Why didn’t you tell me he was here? You’ve got it all wrong, sasha. Cody filled your head with lies, twisted everything around. That is not — I mean, how — how many times did you remind me to take those pills dr. Montague gave me? A-and when I started spiraling, did you — did you even think twice? Did you have a moment of remorse? Or were you just so worried that I would find out what you stole that my — my falling apart was a relief? I was never relieved. Do you have any idea what you put me through, gladys?! When I was at ferncliff, dr. Montague injected me with drugs. He kept me delirious and barely conscious. I couldn’t fight him, gladys! And when cody and i escaped, we found an unmarked bottle of pills in his jacket pocket. I think he was going to stage an od. He was going to make it seem like I had bought drugs and I took too many. Did you know that, gladys? Did you know that he was going to kill me? No! Was that part of your plan?! Oh, no, never! I never wanted him to hurt you. I did everything I could to stop him.

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you! Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause continue ] Tracy. That’s nice of you to show up for your son’s debut. So what’d you think? I…I think you should mind your own business and go back to your wife. Come on, tracy. Don’t be that way. It’s a nice night. The family’s here to support eddie. The least you can do is get into the spirit of things. I’m here, aren’t I? And you know what? Speaking of spirit, how about you make yourself useful and go get me another drink? Scotch, rocks. With pleasure. Ned: Okay. I’m sure this next one everyone will recognize because it was originally recorded by the king, mr. Elvis presley. One, two…

[ Cheers and applause ]

\

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. For this next song, I’d like to dedicate it to someone very special, someone who has helped me find my way back to the stage. She certainly has my back, and, uh… she’s the best friend any guy could ask for. Olivia quartermaine. Play the new song, eddie! Play the new song!

[ Chuckles ] Okay. That’s marshall right over there, in case you didn’t know. Yeah, marshall is right. I — I am working on a new song, but I — I haven’t finished it yet, marshall. So I don’t think everyone here wants to hear a tune that’s half-baked. So instead, I am going to play an idle rich classic from my old eddie maine days. You ready? -Yeah. -Okay.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Got many a horse tucked under the hood

my paint is shiny, and my engine’s good

[ Laughter ]

I’m built for comfort

I’m built for speed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

all the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

your hunting’s over, your shopping’s done

open me up, let my motor run

satisfaction is guaranteed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

my needle’s rising up in the red

my pistons pumping, I see curves ahead

I’m gaining traction, I’m gaining speed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

all the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

[ Cheers and applause ]

There’s only one race I don’t drive to win

the one called loving and sometimes sin

I’m a winner by nature, but this time I reckon

I’ll let you finish first, but I’ll come a close second

[ Laughter ]

All the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede I’m all the man you’ll ever need.

[ Cheers and applause ]

All the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man, I’m all the man

I’m all the man you’ll… ever need.

[ Cheers and applause ] That’s right! That’s right! That’s right!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

[ Knocking on door ] Did you forget your key again? Spencer. Hey! [ Chuckles ] I booked us on another flight, and our car’s waiting. Well, what about the chicken pox? It was a false alarm. Yeah, the daycare texted. They said that it was just poison oak. Ace was never exposed to chicken pox at all. Really? Yeah. Yeah! -Oh, my god! -Yeah! So, I have the perfect defense. Sasha has a history of violence. She attacked the reporter. She stabbed you. So we’ll just say that she kidnapped you. No, no, and — and no. Look, scott, I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but I wasn’t kidnapped. I broke out of ferncliff, and I took sasha with me. Quiet! Okay? There’s a copper here. I…I didn’t hear anything. Did you hear anything? Not a thing. You know, we’re going to leave you two alone. You can confer with your lawyer. T-that’s not really necessary. No, I have to. If I don’t give you the benefit of counsel… no. …Cody, it could result in a real hefty fine. Bye, cody! Sam!

[ Chuckling ] Sam. Hi, scotty. Oh, man, you know, the amount of times that cody has pissed me off, I never once wished scott baldwin on him. I think cody can handle scott. I am more worried about… sasha being able to handle gladys. I swear I didn’t know what montague was doing to you. I would never have gone along with it. How can I believe anything you say, gladys? You stole from me. You lied to me… undermined my belief in my own recovery and my sanity! You claimed that you loved me. You — you drove brando and me home from the hospital the day liam died!

[ Crying ] You’re supposed to be my family! I didn’t mean for any of this… okay. I…had a problem. A losing streak. I got in over my head. I — I was gonna pay all the money back, but I kept losing it. I… I didn’t want you to find out I was borrowing from you. Didn’t want you to hate me. I just… I just needed the guardianship to go on a little bit longer. It was that montague! He’s the one who gave you those pills! And he never told me what they would do to you. And I never asked.

[ Crying ] I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, sasha. I’m so, so sorry. I’m so…sorry. Then prove it. Confess. Go to the police station and tell them everything that you did… and testify against dr. Montague so he can never do to anyone else what he did to me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wails in distance ] Hi, it’s nurse baldwin. I’m calling for an update on drew cain. Great. Thank you. Okay. So, the doctor is here, and he’s scrubbing in. He’s the best, carly. He’ll start operating right away. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, uh…jake. You — you okay? Why don’t you come with me, buddy? I love our new home, papa. I’m so glad you do, sweetheart. I could tell nina knew about it already. No, I told her this morning. I needed her to keep you distracted so I could make everything just perfect. She didn’t know until this morning? No. I thought she helped you decorate. No, it was somebody else. I know it wasn’t anna.

[ Chuckles ] Chase: You think it’s the same perp that burned down anna’s house? I don’t know. They write that on the mirror. They trash the suite. They put ink on her clothes. It doesn’t seem like the same kind of thing. Yeah, but the missing security footage at the metro court implies a sophisticated perp. Here I am. I surrender. Hey. Getting some fresh air? Yeah. The trees are starting to turn. It’s beautiful. Yeah, they are. I’ve always loved being outdoors. Cody does, too. Well, it’s pretty hard to ride horses inside. Sam, what if this doesn’t work? Cody might never be free again. We run into each other in the strangest places. Yep, that’s true.

[ Sighs ] I guess…maybe we both need to be here right now. Remember when you asked me if it was worth it? The life I chose. Yeah. I’m beginning to wonder. Having doubts, huh? When I asked you before, you said you didn’t have any regrets. Well, before I came in here, I was leaving the hospital and I saw curtis. He’s in the wheelchair because of me. I’m struggling with that, too, you know. But I-I don’t think that you can blame yourself. You even said that the bullet — that you think the bullet was meant for me, and now he’s — he’s — an innocent man is in a wheelchair, and drew is upstairs fighting for his life because of me. Hey. Hey. Are you okay? Look, I… the doctor explained to me what the surgery was about, but I still don’t get it. So, can you go over it with me a little bit more? Yes. The piece of drew’s rib that broke is lodged near a main artery. It needs to come out as soon as possible. Or it’ll kill him, right?

[ Elevator bell dings ] Where the hell is dr. Gatlin-holt? Why did carly want me here? Do you know? Well, drew was beaten up in pentonville, and he’s having emergency surgery to save his life. Oh, god. Hey, ava. Yeah? Did you tell carly that I’m the one who put him there?

Keep the faith, sasha. Dante’s not gonna let anything happen to cody. But it’s not entirely up to dante, is it? No, not entirely, but — cody is an escaped mental patient. He’s wanted for kidnapping me and assaulting dr. Montague. Even though montague was drugging me and tried to kill me. And we’re gonna prove all of that. How? We have the evidence of the drug from montague’s own pocket, and we will prove that he was conspiring with someone else. My own mother-in-law. I know. I’m so sorry. But, yes, gladys will pay. The first step is establishing a legal record. And that’s why cody had to turn himself in. Exactly. Where the hell is sasha? I’m here to turn myself in. I said where is she, damn it. ‘Cause I swear, if you hurt her, I — chase, you really think I’d hurt her? Then tell me where she is! All I’m telling you right now is that I’m here to give myself up. You heard what mr. Bell said. Someone want to tell me what’s going on? Yeah, I think you should book the suspect. Oh, I will. We’re gonna do this completely legal, and then we’re gonna go back to answering questions. And you’ll get the same answer. I’m here to turn myself in. Cody bell, you have the right to remain silent. I love that part. I like that part, too. That’s funny. Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you? Sure do. Valentin: Now, wait a minute. Why would you say that you know that anna didn’t help decorate? It’s not her style. It’s beautiful. Did you do it yourself, papa? No. No, my decorator, jen, helped me. She did an amazing job. It’s more comfortable than wyndemere ever was. I’m glad you like it so much. I do. I could tell when my friends came to wyndemere they thought it was creepy. Well, they can come here now. You can bring your friend jake. Jake? Yeah, jake. You said you were with jake last night before you came to the metro court. I was. I showed you all the pictures of us together. Yeah, it looked like you were having a good time. Is he a nice kid? Can I see my new room? Yeah. Yeah. You want me to go with you? No, I want to see it for the first time by myself, if that’s okay. Okay. It’s down the hall, second door on the left. Thank you for letting her stay the night. Yeah, of course. I love having her here. I don’t want her near anna. I don’t — I don’t want her out of my sight. Yeah, I know. I know. Oh, no. Drew was beaten that badly? Carly says he hasn’t regained consciousness since the fight.

[ Exhales slowly ] That’s not good. Well, it’s pentonville, sonny. Prisoners are going to start fights for a myriad of reasons. I asked drew to get me information. And what, he agreed? I never should have asked him. I thought he was gonna be discreet and he’d be safe. Yeah, but you can’t be sure of that. Yes, I can, ’cause I ordered it. I let it be known drew was under my protection in pentonville. Someone defied your order. Hey, come on in. You okay? I need to know what’s happening with drew. Okay. Do you want to have a seat? You know, sometimes these — these things take a little while, jake. So… but I’m gonna make some calls, and I’ll — I’ll find out exactly what’s going on with your uncle, alright?

[ Beeping ] Carly, I am — I am so sorry to hear about drew. Are you? Yeah, of — of course. I don’t know exactly what happened. I can tell you exactly what happened. Drew was set up, beaten almost to death, and now he’s in surgery and he might not make it. Oh, no. But you’re not really surprised, are you, ava? What? Cut the act! I know exactly what you did.

I got him booked. What do you want to do with him? Uh, good. Question him, right? I mean, uh, you want to call a lawyer? Uh, nope. Wouldn’t do any good. That’s a positive outlook to have. Uh, just, uh, let’s go in here. Okay. Oh, hey. Would you like me to sit in? Uh, no, it’s — it’s all right. I got — I got this. Yeah, I have no doubt. Excuse me, um… I’m gladys corbin. I’m sasha gilmore’s guardian, and I got a call saying they have her kidnapper in custody. Where’s my daughter-in-law? I honestly don’t understand why cody is risking so much to protect me. Maybe he thinks you’re worth it. Yeah? Based on what? I mean, we’ve had a few nice conversations. I think he’s a nice guy, but, you know, we were becoming friends, and then I started acting so strange. And then I stabbed him at the metro court pool. I saw him that night in the hospital. I saw you, too. And we both agreed that you had no idea what was going on. Those pills that dr. Montague gave me — they made you delusional. I was so sure that I saw cyrus renault when I stabbed cody. Well, our minds can play terrible tricks on us when someone screws around with them. Cody knows that’s what happened with you. Still, he’s putting everything on the line for me. What kind of person does that? Okay. No, I-I appreciate the update. Thank you. Okay. Uh, drew is still in surgery, alright? I know the surgeon doing the operation. He’s excellent. Your uncle couldn’t be in better hands. Uh, what happened out there when you first came in… what? What? I mean… you’re — you’re worried about your uncle, right? Yeah. I shouldn’t have cried. Yeah, I don’t know about that, jake. I, um… not so long ago, I got some news about someone I really care about, someone I love, and you know what happened? What? I cried. Man, I cried. I don’t think there’s any shame in that, jake. I mean…you really love your uncle, right? Yeah. I just need him to be okay. Yeah. This would not have happened five years ago. What do you mean? No one would have defied my orders back then. Yeah. Something like that’s happening to me, too. Th ings are impacting memore than they used to. Like somebody burning down your house? I still can’t believe that happened. I feel like things are just out of control. A-and I used to feel like I can keep things under control. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. What are you gonna do? What do we do? Throw in the towel? Never. Didn’t think so. Carly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a liar. Hey! Whoa, whoa. This isn’t the time or the place. You back off! This does not concern you. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to trust you. T-trust me with what? What did I do? I told you that drew was gonna ask around pentonville to find out who your boyfriend, austin, was visiting when he was there. What’d you do? Did you call him right away? No. Did you meet up with him so you could plan the hit on drew together? No. I had nothing to do with this. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you because you are the only other person who knew about this, and conveniently, austin isn’t working today. Drew could have been killed! Damn it, ava. He shouldn’t even be in pentonville! Carly, I’m not the one who put him there! What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I love my new room. It’s good, right? I knew you’d like it. How did the decorator know everything I would like? Well, we looked at a lot of photographs, and she asked a lot of questions. It’s like I picked everything out myself. There’s even new riding clothes in my closet already. I wanted your first ride on butterscotch to be perfect from your new house. And if you look just down there, you’ll see the bridle path comes along the back here. You can ride right up to the door. You’ve thought of everything. You said before you don’t think this is anna’s style? Well…it’s not like her house. So what, you don’t think she’s gonna like it? Why? Is anna gonna move in here, too? I don’t know. Maybe. She needs a place to live… since her house burned down. I’ll find out who did this to drew. I’m sure you will. It’s funny how life works. Is it? I didn’t know you were in here. Nor I you. And if you hadn’t been, I don’t — yeah, I mean…

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. I had the feeling that you would have come to the same conclusion. You’re not ready to turn the page. You kind o f helped me realizethat I’m not, either. Then I guess we keep fighting. We keep fighting. You need to go see carly. You think? You do. She’s so scared for the man she loves. She needs your support. Yeah. I’m gonna — I’ll go check on drew, and hopefully she’s there. If she’s not… I’ll light a candle for him.

[ Chuckling ] Alright. Thank you. You bet. Bye. Bye. How did you find out about what happened to your uncle? I was, um, already here at the hospital, talking to my mom. I saw carly, and I wanted to go ask her about visiting uncle drew. At pentonville? My mom said I could go visit him, but, um, then he got put into solitary before I could. And now… for what it’s worth, you can always talk to me, jake. It just feels like everyone leaves. Everyone leaves? My dad died. Franco died. Cam went away to college. You left. And, um, now… I know it hurts. But I’m still here, jake, and I — I’m not going anywhere. Okay? Okay. Okay. You know, I’ve been trying to figure out what kind of person cody is ever since he came to port charles last year. I know he and dante are good friends. Yeah, but they haven’t really seen or spoken to each other since they were teenagers. Really? Yeah. And it turns out that cody has a questionable past, so I wasn’t really sure if I could trust him or not. But now you do? I do. But who am I to judge, anyway? I have a pretty colorful past myself. So do I. Mrs. Corbin, your daughter-in-law isn’t here. I-I-I know that. Where did you take her? To — to G.H.? Or back to ferncliff? We’ve only apprehended cody bell. But he kidnapped her! If he doesn’t have her, where is she?! We’re trying to figure that out. Okay. Well, alright. Let me see him. I want to see cody right now. I don’t know why you’re blaming ava for this. Because she’s the only one who could have made this happen. Drew’s too smart to be sloppy, and someone targeted him. And now, ava, you’re trying to tell me this is all my fault? What?! No! Yeah, that’s exactly what it is. You said that you’re not the one who put drew in pentonville. And you’re right, I am. It’s my fault. Okay, I get it. But how could you do this? Carly. What the hell does austin have on you? Carly! What?!

What I said before about cody taking a risk… I know that he’s not the only one taking a risk for me. Well, dante isn’t the kind of man who will sit on the sidelines if he knows someone’s in trouble. You’re taking a risk, too.

[ Sighs ] I don’t see it that way. I think we’re all just trying to do the right thing. Is that why you fell in love with dante?

[ Laughs ] Because he does the right thing? It’s — it’s, um — it’s one of the reasons why. I think you two are such a good match. I agree. Thank you.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Now? Cody is being interrogated at the moment.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, by his friend, detective falconeri? That’s none of your concern. You know, no. No. Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on here. You’re protecting a dangerous man like cody bell, when who knows what kind of trouble my poor daughter-in-law is in. We are doing everything that we can to find her. Oh, well, clearly it’s not enough. Sasha is in a very fragile state. We know that. I want to talk to the commissioner right now. The commissioner isn’t in. Then I’ll wait. Cody kidnapped sasha. He put her life in grave danger. He has to pay. Did you just hear that lunatic?

I put sasha’s life in danger?! Okay, y-you just stay calm. It’s a little hard to stay calm with that performance that gladys is putting on out there. That was a pretty good performance. I mean, I-I almost believe that she’s worried about sasha.

[ Chuckles ] The only thing that gladys is worried about right now is the truth coming out. Can I get you a coffee? No.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello? Sam: [ Distorted ]

Is this gladys corbin? Yes. Hi, this is ms. Vargas from port charles savings and loan. I’m calling about the accounts of sasha gilmore. Hey. Hey. You alright? Yeah. Is uncle drew out of surgery? Not yet, but I will be notified the minute he is. So, we just have to sit around and do nothing? Not necessarily. Listen to me. Ava did it. I was stupid enough to tell her what drew was doing in pentonville, and she must have told austin or his cousin mason, and that’s why drew was attacked, and that’s why he might not make it. No, carly, you’re wrong. I swear to you, carly, I didn’t say anything to anybody. She didn’t, and I know for a fact she didn’T. I don’t know what to believe anymore. You just — look, you got to focus on drew. That’s all that matters. He’s strong. He’s gonna get through this.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I don’t know. You think he’s lying to you about pikeman? When you called me last night to say that you had evidence that he wasn’t at elq the night of the fire, valentin was in the shower. He had just received some papers. It kind of looked like a contract, maybe a consultancy project or something. They had the pikeman logo on them. You think he could be working for pikeman again? What else do I not know about you? Hey, you know why I asked you to stay with sam and dante and your brother rocco. Because you were afraid I might not be safe at anna’S. And I was right. I would never forgive myself if you’d been there the night of the fire. I was at camp. I know. And just so you know, I’ve, uh…

[ Cellphone ringing ] …I’ve made special precautions so that we’re safe here. Oh, it’s your uncle marty. I got to take this. Okay. Hello. “Anna devane is not who she seems. Do not trust her.” Charlotte?

Oh, I can’t wait to get on the witness stand and testify against gladys.

[ Chuckles ] She is going to prison for what she did to sasha. Okay, hold the phone, man, ’cause right now you’re the one in custody. You’re the one being charged with kidnapping and assault. Gladys isn’t in custody, and she’s not facing charges right now. Yeah, but she will be as soon as you explain to the judge — I can’t explain anything, unless and until we have proof that gladys and montague were working together to hurt sasha. If we don’t get that… I could be the one in prison. I’m sorry, I don’t understand why you’re calling me. You are ms. Gilmore’s guardian, are you not? Yes. But she’s been kidnapped, and I’m a nervous wreck about it. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, but this is official business, and you are listed as the responsible party for all of the accounts of ms. Gilmore. Well, as her guardian, I only paid her bills and provided money when she needed or asked for it. A-a-and — and the medical bills. Ms. Corbin, none of that is of our concern. I’m just calling to advise you that we have received a subpoena from the da’s office. A subp– a subpoena for what?

The banking records for all

of ms. Gilmore’s accounts. Aren’t — aren’t those accounts private and confidential? Under normal circumstances, yes. But if the da has cause and a subpoena is issued, we have no choice but to turn over those records. And those records will be turned over today. Thank you and goodbye, ms. Corbin. I hope uncle martin comes to visit us. Well, it’s certainly possible. He’s been here before. He helped me find the place. And maybe someday mom will wake up and come visit us, too. You think about your mom a lot, don’t you? Everyone acts like she’s gone, but…she’s not. No, no, she’s not. I like talking to her. I feel like she can hear me. Well, maybe she can. What kind of things do you guys talk about? Everything. She’d love our house. How would you feel if anna moved in with us? Whatever would make you happy, papa. But I need to know. Need to know? If anna moving in would make you happy. I need to know for the reading. What reading? The cards.

Things are changing. As we speak, things are changing. I know. Things are always changing. That’s the only thing that stays the same. What are you doing? Oh, my god. My god. Are you alright? Of course I’m alright. Why wouldn’t I be? Have a look for yourself. I don’t know if the arsonist was outside waiting for me to leave… …or they assumed I was asleep upstairs. Oh, valentin. Valentin: Whoever got in here — what, was trying to get to me? Well, it’s working. Go back a little. Freeze it. Oh, my god. Valentin, it can’t be. Hi. Oh, hello. Hi, finn. Hi. You want to go ahead? I’ll catch up with you. Yeah. Okay. Hey. Uh…you okay? Yeah, yeah. I heard about drew. How is he? Yeah, I don’t — I haven’t heard anything yet. Elizabeth thought jake might find some comfort from being here. Yeah. Poor kid. He’s been through so much loss, hasn’t he? And he’s so young and… yeah. How about you? What brings you by? I had a phlebotomy treatment and a lot of stuff going on in my head. Is this a good place to clear your head? Always is. Yeah. You’ve been through a lot. I, uh, called you a few times and left a message after the fire. Yes, you did. Thank you. That was very thoughtful. It’s okay. I just — I thought maybe you might give me a call, let me know you were okay. Yeah, I should have. I just — mm. There’s been a lot going on, and I’m sorry. It’s okay. I know. Hey, listen, I… I know you have, uh, people that are there for you, but, um… …don’t ever forget, I’m your friend, too. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. You don’t have to do anything. If you want, you can light a candle for drew. Do we pray now? We can. And we should think our most positive thoughts about drew getting through this and recovering. Can I get you anything?

[ Sighs ] Ava’s right. Drew’s in that prison because of me. Stop it, carly. It’s true. Drew never committed insider trading. I did. He pled guilty so I wouldn’t be tried. Listen to me, carly. Can I just be alone, sonny? Please, can I… okay. Thank you. Oh. I’m so glad that you showed up when you did. Yeah, me, too. Carly was on quite a rampage. Yeah. You know, that’s the way carly gets when she lashes out. Something happens, and… well, carly has to know that sometimes there aren’t any answers. Ms. Spencer. Yes. The surgeon wanted me to speak to you. Oh, my god.

Uh, drew made it through surgery. He’s gonna be okay. Oh, thank god. The surgery was a success. They expect him to make a full recovery. That’s such a relief. Carly, I’m — I’m so happy for you. I’m sorry you had to go through this. I’m sorry I attacked you. I shouldn’t have done that. It’s okay, really. If I were in your shoes, I-I would have thought the same thing. But the truth is, I-I think that drew is — is a good man. He helped save trina’s life in greenland, and what he did for willow… we all owe him. We do. Can I talk to you for a minute alone? Yeah.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Drew’s okay. He’s gonna make a full recovery.

[ Chuckles ] The surgery was a success. Oh, thank goodness. Oh, some good news. You should get in there. Yeah. Um…remember what I said. Thank you, finn. Okay. See you. Yeah. Mom, this is the best news. I wanted to, um, thank you for, um… for what? For being here. Thank you. You’re welcome. Well, carly really went after you. Yeah, well, that was nothing compared to what she’ll do to you if she ever finds out you put drew in prison. Where’d you get those? A girl at camp gave them to me and showed me how to use them. Victor: To guide you, I’m giving you these very special tarot cards. They are powerful tools, charlotte. You’ll find them helpful. How’s it going in here? Any progress with this guy? Uh, y-yeah. I was — you know, shouldn’t be too much longer. Right.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

Elizabeth: The beating Drew Cain took was severe. Lacerations, contusions, and head trauma.

Dr. Reyes: I’m concerned he still hasn’t regained consciousness. Hopefully the x-rays and CT scan will give us more answers. Let me know when he’s back in the ICU and we get those test results.

Elizabeth: Yes, Doctor.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Jake: Mom?

Elizabeth: Jake, what are you doing here? Now’s not a good time.

Jake: I have to talk to you about Charlotte.

Anna: Charlotte? Charlotte? Hey. You fell asleep.

Charlotte: I did?

Anna: Mm-hmm.

Charlotte: Where’s Papa?

Anna: Oh, he’s not here.

Charlotte: I-is he coming back?

Anna: I doubt it. He has other things to do. He’s very busy, you know, Charlotte.

Charlotte: I need to see him.

Anna: Oh, he doesn’t have time.

Charlotte: He says he always has time for me.

Anna: Yeah, that was before.

Charlotte: Before what?

Anna: Before he fell in love with me. He’s mine now.

Charlotte: No.

Anna: Yeah, he’s all mine. He’s mine.

Charlotte: No, no! I want Papa! I want Papa!

Nina: Charlotte! Charlotte. You had a bad dream. It’s just a bad dream.

Portia: Oh.

Anna: Ooh, sor– hey, Portia.

Portia: Anna, wait.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Brook Lynn: Blaze, hi. So, so sorry that I’m late. I was on my way, and then, well, life happened.

Blaze: It happens.

Brook Lynn: Look, I promise I didn’t ask you to come here to waste your time or beat around the bush. After a lot of soul searching and a fair amount of family drama, I have decided to go back to music management, and I’d like to sign you as my first client. So…what do you say?

Blaze: [ Exhales sharply ]

Kristina: Hey! Fancy seeing you here.

Alexis: I’m here to see my daughter.

Kristina: Oh, yeah? She meeting you here?

Alexis: You. You’re my daughter. I’m here to see you.

Kristina: What’s up?

Alexis: I have a message from your sister.

Kristina: Please say Sam.

Alexis: Molly.

Molly: Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Dr. Ashford?

TJ: Uncle Curtis.

Curtis: Hey, T.

TJ: Hey. What are you doing here?

Curtis: Well, I had a check-up, and I decided to stick around and see you.

TJ: That’s great. I have a little break right now.

Curtis: Alright.

TJ: How was the checkup?

Curtis: Eh, same.

Molly: There you are.

TJ: Hey.

Molly: And you’re here, too.

Curtis: Hey, Molly.

Molly: This is perfect.

TJ: What’s going on?

Molly: I have news to share.

Sonny: I just don’t want any more excuses. Do you understand? Yeah. I’m done — just let me know. That’s it.

[ Door opens ]

Dex: Boss?

Sonny: Yeah?

Dex: Drew Cain was attacked and beaten up.

Sonny: What?

Dex: They told me it’s bad.

Sonny: How bad?

Dex: They took him to the hospital.

Jake: You came home late last night and you left so early for work this morning, I didn’t get a chance to talk to you.

Elizabeth: I know. Can we talk about this later? I’m really busy today.

Jake: But, Mom, I just need to talk to you a few minutes about Charlotte. It’s important.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Elizabeth: Okay — wait by the planter, please.

Carly: Where is he? Where’s Drew?

Elizabeth: He’s in the ICU, but he’s been taken for some tests.

Carly: Did you see him?

Elizabeth: Yes.

Carly: How’s he look? Did he say anything?

Elizabeth: Carly, he hasn’t regained consciousness since the beating.

Carly: Please tell me he’s gonna be okay.

Elizabeth: Drew is getting the best care possible. We just have to wait until the tests come back.

Carly: Elizabeth, I know you’re just trying to be professional, but please tell me what’s really going on. Or I’m just gonna call Monica because Drew’s her son and she’ll tell me.

Elizabeth: No, Monica is in Berlin at a conference, and there is no need to notify her until we know more. Now, Drew put you down as his emergency contact. The doctor will talk to you as soon as he has any information.

Carly: He should have never been in that prison.

Elizabeth: I know.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I know you think this is my fault. And it is. It’s 100% my fault.

Elizabeth: No, no. Carly, Drew made his own choices. And this is not about blame. I have to go talk to my son.

Carly: Jake’s here?

Elizabeth: Yeah. He’s here about something else. I haven’t told him anything yet. He already lost his dad and then Franco. And at one point, Drew was a father figure in his life. If he loses him, too…

Nina: It’s okay. You know, sometimes it helps if you talk about your bad dream.

Charlotte: I don’t even remember what it was about.

Nina: Yeah. That happens to me, you know? Sometimes when I have a bad dream, I concentrate and I realize it was something that happened in the past. And sometimes it’s something that I did the day before. [ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens ]

Charlotte: Papa, you’re here.

Nina: Charlotte, uh, had a bad dream.

Brook Lynn: I’m so sorry to just spring this on you. I would have built up to it, but I walked in so late.

Blaze: No, it’s okay. I had a great conversation with the manager while I was waiting.

Brook Lynn: Oh, Kristina. Yeah. She’s the best.

Blaze: Yeah, she seems like a cool person.

Brook Lynn: She’s super cool. She sings, too. Yeah, she sang at the Nurses’ Ball. She was terrific.

Blaze: I found the video online. She was great. I think it embarrassed her that I watched it.

Brook Lynn: You know, people who aren’t in the business tend to be embarrassed by their talents. But you are in the business, and I am here with a proposal of how to get you front and center, how to get your career to the next level. Now, since you dumped that sleaze Linc, the public really hasn’t heard much from you. You and I are gonna change that.

Kristina: Mom, I swear to you, I have given Molly all the space that she has asked for.

Alexis: Honey, this isn’t anything bad. In fact, it’s good news. Molly just found out from her surrogate that she’s pregnant. So Molly and TJ are having a baby.

Kristina: Oh, my gosh.

Molly: I was gonna wait until you got off of work to tell you, but I was too excited.

TJ: [ Chuckles ]

Curtis: Well, look, you guys probably want to be alone. I can peace out —

Molly: No, no, no, no. I — I really am glad you’re here because I want you to know. I want the whole family to know. It worked. [ Laughs ] Andrea is pregnant.

TJ: [ Exhales sharply ] We’re having a — we’re having a baby? We’re —

Molly: We’re having a baby.

TJ: We’re having a baby!

[ Laughter ]

TJ: We’re having a baby!

Sonny: [ Pounding on table ] What the hell happened? I told you to make certain that Drew is off limits.

Dex: That is exactly what I told Book when I visited him at the prison. I made sure everyone knew that Drew was being protected by Sonny Corinthos.

Sonny: Who’s after him?

Dex: That’s what I’m trying to find out.

Sonny: Somebody went against my orders?

Dex: Yes.

Sonny: Okay, well, that someone needs to be punished.

Dex: What do you want me to do?

Sonny: We’re gonna find out who it is and we’re gonna make him pay. Where’s Drew right now?

Dex: They took him to G.H..

Sonny: Let’s go.

Anna: Trey, can you give us a moment, please?

Portia: I think that we — we need to clear the air.

Anna: No, we don’t. I should have never come to your house. I should have called first. [ Voice breaking ] But I — I really needed to see Curtis. I just needed to apologize, and…I’m sorry.

Portia: But Curtis doesn’t blame you.

Anna: I know. He was extremely gracious.

Portia: And I wasn’t.

Anna: That’s not what I’m… there wasn’t one word of what you said that was unjustified.

Portia: I know that, but it was out of proportion. You were there, and it was convenient for me to focus all of my anger on you. But you didn’t deserve all of it.

Anna: “All of it.”

Elizabeth: Carly, I promise I will let you know as soon as I hear anything. But it could be a long wait.

Carly: I’m not going anywhere, not until I see Drew. Are you gonna tell Jake?

Elizabeth: I don’t know.

Carly: Go. I’m sorry. Go.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Jake. Sorry that took so long. But I am working and I don’t have a lot of time. What did you want to tell me?

Jake: I was with Charlotte last night.

Charlotte: The dream was nothing. I don’t even remember it. I’m just glad you came.

Valentin: Well, what have you guys been up to?

Nina: Well, we went to Kelly’s for some breakfast. That was a great breakfast, wasn’t it? And then we did some window shopping. We saw some really great ideas for winter clothes. Isn’t that right?

Charlotte: Yes.

Nina: And then we came back here and she read Crimson Magazine and she fell asleep.

Valentin: Well, why don’t we go do something together?

Charlotte: What?

Valentin: It’s a surprise. But I bet it’s gonna make that bad dream fly right out of your head.

Charlotte: I’ll go get my jacket.

Nina: What if she was dreaming about what she did to Anna?

Valentin: Who knows? I just hope what I have planned is gonna make us all move right past it.

Portia: I apologize for my actions the other night. I’m still angry. I’m angry that, um, Curtis was collateral damage because someone was targeting you or Sonny. And I know — I know you did not pull the trigger. But Curtis is in a wheelchair. He’s in a wheelchair through no fault of his own. You know, it’s one thing to take responsibility for your own actions. But it’s just a whole different thing to have to pay the price for someone else’s.

Brook Lynn: So, these are some platforms that I think might help to get you back out in the public eye. You know, concerts, social media, uh, potential producers, collaborators.

Blaze: Interesting.

Brook Lynn: Yeah. And, look, I know how important it is for you to be you and not some image like the one that Linc conjured up. So, I am open to suggestions.

Blaze: I can see you put a lot of work into it.

Brook Lynn: I did.

Blaze: You’re really into this, aren’t you?

Brook Lynn: Yes. Look, I enjoyed trying to push Chase’s career. He’s an amazing performer. But if your heart’s not in it, then what’s the point? But you, Blaze, you are so committed. I could see it in your performances. And I hope you know how much I respect you and would never do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or dishonest, which is why I am so excited to sign you as my first client.

Blaze: Okay.

Brook Lynn: And you are such a unique talent. You know, that’s something I don’t think Linc ever really saw. You have a great style, and I really want to help you, you know, reach the next level in your career, not just through business, but through songwriting.

Blaze: I said okay.

Brook Lynn: Excuse me?

Blaze: O…kay.

Brook Lynn: Wait, are — are you saying yes?

Blaze: I am, yes. I’m in.

Brook Lynn: Oh, my — just like that?!

Blaze: Just like that. Brook Lynn, you stood up for me when everyone else looked away. I’m not sure I would have been able to get away from Linc if it hadn’t been for you.

Kristina: So, Molly just found out?

Alexis: Today.

Kristina: Wow. Wait, isn’t this a little early in the pregnancy to be telling people?

Alexis: It is, and I promised Molly, actually, that when I told you, I would say that we cautiously have good news. So, it’s Molly’s decision, and I thought it would be great if we could all be supportive together.

Kristina: Of course. Yeah. No, they must be really excited. I know that both Molly and TJ really want this baby.

Alexis: Fingers crossed. It’s all worked out for them.

Kristina: It has.

Alexis: What?

Kristina: Nothing. I — it just would have been really nice if I could have that moment with my sister you know, where she tells me herself and I got to see the look on her face, and instead, I’m hearing it secondhand. And if I’m honest, it hurts a little.

Curtis: Congratulations. This is great news.

Molly: I know it’s early, and some people think I should have waited, but Andrea is already glowing, and she’s so positive about everything.

TJ: Did she call this morning or…

Molly: Oh, no. She actually came to the courthouse to tell me in person. My mom was there, so she already knows. And — and you can tell Portia and the rest of the family.

TJ: Does anyone else know?

Molly: Mom is gonna tell Kristina. I hope that’s okay.

Elizabeth: You were with Charlotte? I thought you were with your friend Angus.

Jake: I’m sorry. I — I guess I was just kind of embarrassed that I was seeing Charlotte again.

Elizabeth: Why?

Jake: She’s a girl.

Elizabeth: And you feel the need to tell me this now?

Jake: You want to know where we are. And I shouldn’t have said I was seeing Angus. And Charlotte was taking all these selfies of the two of us.

Elizabeth: Oh, okay. I see. So you were afraid that if she posted them, I would find out.

Jake: I’m sorry, Mom.

Dex: I’ll stay on it and see what I can find out. And I’ll make that call for you.

Carly: You promised to protect him.

Sonny: I’m sorry.

Carly: Drew is fighting for his life. We put him in danger by asking him to get information.

Sonny: Drew said he wanted to find out who Austin was visiting in Pentonville.

Carly: To protect you!

Sonny: Yeah, but —

Carly: I asked him to protect you.

Sonny: Look, I’m sure — he’s a smart guy. I’m sure when he asked questions, he was careful.

Carly: Really? Then why is he in the hospital right now?

Elizabeth: Sounds like maybe you have a thing for Charlotte.

Jake: Stop it, Mom.

Elizabeth: What? I’m just saying. You’ve been spending a lot of time with her lately. So, tell me — what is it that you like about her?

Jake: Everything. Plus, she likes me.

Charlotte: What are we doing here? Whose house is this?

Valentin: See for yourself.

Charlotte: What?

[ Lock disengages ]

Anna: I’m glad that we spoke.

Portia: You haven’t said too much.

Anna: No, I know. Well… I think you summed it up pretty well.

Portia: Well, I know that you and Curtis got closer from the time that you spent in Greenland. And I hope you know how much I appreciate what you did to help save my daughter.

Anna: It was a group effort.

Portia: I’m just trying here. I’m just trying to clear the air.

Anna: No, no, I know. I know. You don’t have to apologize. Because you’re right. Curtis doesn’t deserve to suffer the consequences meant for someone else. No one does.

Portia: And I heard about your home, how your house burned down and you lost everything. I am so sorry.

Anna: Oh, you know, it’s things. It’s just — it’s just things. I think we’ve both been through enough to know that things aren’t important.

Portia: The fire could have cost you a lot more. And I’m glad you’re okay. Curtis also told me the story about how you saved Valentin’s life. Wow. [ Laughs ] And the two of you are closer now. I’m glad you have someone in your life.

Anna: Thank you. [ Sighs ]

Anna: Whatever he’s lying about, it’s not that he burned down our home. I just sort of feel like each new layer that gets peeled back… …I get to see who you really are. Like maybe I never knew you.

Valentin: I love you. That’s all you’ll ever need to know.

Anna: Is it? You’re not answering my question. Is that true?

Valentin: Yes. Unfortunately, it is true. I wasn’t at ELQ the night of the fire.

Anna: Did you talk to security? Was there anything on the tapes?

Valentin: There was nothing there.

Anna: What? How is that possible? There’s cameras everywhere.

Valentin: Anna, the footage from this floor was missing.

Anna: Trey, can we meet down in the car? I, um — I’m perfectly safe here. Okay.

Brook Lynn: Blaze, I let what happened with you and Linc go on for way too long.

Blaze: Well, so did I. I mean, if you hadn’t finally stepped in, who knows what could have happened?

Brook Lynn: I should have stepped in way sooner.

Blaze: Stop. Look at the two of us. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but do you think anyone who met us wouldn’t think we were both very strong women?

Brook Lynn: Well, if they didn’t, we wouldn’t hesitate to correct them.

Blaze: Exactly. Yet somehow both of us managed to let a man like Linc take advantage of us.

Brook Lynn: You know, I think back, and I still can’t believe it.

Blaze: I went to support groups for survivors of emotional and physical abuse. There were women in there like us, strong, intelligent women who went through the same thing. Guys like Linc are predators who’ve had a lot of practice. They know exactly what buttons to push, what vulnerabilities to take advantage of, and they do it all with a slimy smile on their face. And seeing you put Linc in his place was absolutely priceless. You exposed him to everyone for exactly who he was. And now he’s canceled.

Brook Lynn: Amen to that.

Sonny: Drew is tough, Carly. He’s gonna get through this.

Carly: How do you know? He hasn’t even regained consciousness. He was beaten so badly, who knows if he even will?

Sonny: Okay, I just got to figure out who did this.

Carly: And then what, Sonny?

Sonny: As soon as he gets better, Diane’s gonna do everything she can to get him released from Pentonville.

Carly: But will he be alive to even get released?

Blaze: So, did you bring papers, or is there a contract I can sign on that fancy tablet of yours?

Brook Lynn: Sure you don’t want to take some time, think it over?

Blaze: I know I can count on you not just to promote me, but to care about me.

Brook Lynn: I do.

Blaze: What about Deception?

Brook Lynn: Look, I really like the people, but that world never really spoke to me.

Blaze: Well, it’s speaking in all caps now. Did this have anything to do with you going into music management?

Brook Lynn: Bad news travels fast.

Alexis: Do you think it’s possible you’re being a little overly sensitive about this?

Kristina: How? My own sister can’t even pick up the phone and call me to tell me the news herself?

Alexis: Because she was excited and wanted to have lunch with the surrogate. They wanted to celebrate.

Kristina: Mom, did she really ask you to tell me, or was this perhaps your idea?

Alexis: Well, I know —

Kristina: Oh, my God, this is unbelievable. It just really — it just keeps getting better and better.

Alexis: Please don’t do this.

Kristina: Do what? My sister has has explicitly singled me out from being completely hands off to her surrogacy journey. And now my mother has to go and — and beg her to let me in on the news that the baby’s on its way?

Alexis: I didn’t beg her. And the baby is far from being on its way. Honey, we both know how much pressure Molly’s been under. And, quite frankly, I don’t think that she’s even been able to process the fact that she wasn’t able to get pregnant. But now that the surrogate is pregnant, maybe she will relax and we can just support her and maybe give her some space.

Kristina: Mom, I am giving her all the space she has asked for. I mean, really, am I — am I honestly that overbearing? She — she’s my sister. How does she not want a relationship with me?

TJ: No, I think it’s great that your mom is telling Kristina.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

TJ: But for now, let’s — let’s just keep it family, okay?

Molly: Oh, of course.

TJ: Okay.

Molly: Oh, this is the office. I’ll just be a minute.

Curtis: So… you’re gonna be a dad.

[ Both laugh ]

TJ: In nine months, if all goes well.

Curtis: Well, so far, so good, right?

TJ: Right, right.

Curtis: Um, would I be wrong in assessing that you are overjoyed? Because honestly, nephew, I have never seen you so happy.

TJ: I mean, how could I be happier? I’m gonna be a dad.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Charlotte: It’s beautiful, Papa.

Nina: Oh. Uh, will you excuse me for a second? Hey, Dex. What’s up?

Dex: Sorry to bother you, Nina. I know you were supposed to meet Sonny at The Metro Court in a little while.

Nina: Is something wrong?

Dex: No, but he had to come to G.H.. Drew Cain is here.

Nina: Is he okay?

Dex: Not sure. He was beaten up pretty badly in Pentonville.

Nina: [ Stammers ] Well, thank you for letting me know, Dex.

Valentin: The lot is a little more than two acres, and we’re less than half a mile from Winding Roads Stables.

Charlotte: That’s where Butterscotch is boarded.

Valentin: And we’re just a short drive from your school.

Charlotte: It’s perfect. Are you thinking of buying it?

Valentin: No, I’m not thinking of buying it.

Charlotte: That’s okay.

Valentin: Because I already bought it.

Charlotte: Oh, Papa! This is our house? For real?

Valentin: For real. I know it’s been a long time coming, but from now on, this is our home.

Charlotte: I love it.

Sonny: Carly, don’t go to the worst-case scenario. Don’t do that.

Carly: I love him. And Drew might die because someone told the SEC what we did, and then some power-hungry judge gave him an insane sentence for it just to further his career. It’s wrong, Sonny. It’s all wrong.

Dex: You think that guy from Pikeman might have had something to do with Drew getting attacked?

Sonny: Why would Pikeman care about Drew Cain?

Dex: Well, if they found out that you’re protecting him, might have been their way to send you a message. The guy’s threat wasn’t exactly subtle.

Sonny: Good thinking, Dex. But let me tell you something. There’s a lot of people in Pentonville who would have it in for Drew if they knew he was helping me.

Dex: A lot of guys in there for the other families who are locked up, right? Any of these names jump out?

Sonny: You see all those guys? They would love to take me down.

Dex: I’ll keep pushing. And I made that call to Nina.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Portia: Molly! TJ! I’m so happy for both of you! Oh, my goodness!

Molly: Thank you.

Portia: Wow!

Curtis: Well, I think that we should celebrate at The Savoy ’cause my dad just managed to book Eddie Maine.

TJ: Oh. And you’ll be there?

Curtis: I will be there.

Molly: Okay, well, we’ll see you later.

Portia: Okay. You know what? We should get ready, too. Go on and get out of here, get ready for tonight.

Curtis: Alright.

Dex: Want to hang around?

Sonny: No, no, you go ahead and go. I’ll — if I need you, I’ll let you know.

Alexis: Sweetie, you are not overbearing. Maybe a little impatient.

Kristina: I just — I feel like, with the way things are going right now, it just — I feel like I’m never gonna get my sister back.

Alexis: Since you have this instinct that you have inherited from me, sometimes it’s best not to tackle a problem head on.

Kristina: Mom, what am I supposed to do? Just sit around and wait?

Alexis: Yes. This baby is a blessing for Molly and TJ, and just let them have their moment. And when they’re ready, they’ll reach out.

Kristina: Okay. I-I really am happy for her, Mom.

Alexis: I know you are. And I know that Molly knows that, too. Anyway, you’ve got big things to do right now. Diane said that you have your first board meeting for the youth center.

Kristina: Yes, I do, and I’m very excited about that, but I’m not excited about talking about my least favorite topic first — fundraising.

Alexis: Fundraising.

Kristina: Yeah.

Alexis: I know. That’s a drag. But you have to come up with an idea to get people all pumped up.

Kristina: Yeah. Yeah. I’ve been racking my brain to think about something, and I just… Actually, I think — I think I might have a really good idea.

Brook Lynn: “Brook Lynn Quartermaine, infamous trust fund wannabe, “fired from her job at Deception Cosmetics “amidst lawsuit turmoil. “Sources close tell us the Quartermaine princess “is out as a result of allegations “regarding the hot Deceptor wand. “What’s next for the former warbler? “She seems to be zero for zero. “While nobody can fault BLQ, “her singing career being unceremoniously slashed short “due to a freak attack, “we can wonder about her suspicious exit from Deception — perhaps it’s all in the name.” This had to be Lucy. Blaze, I swear to you, this had nothing to do with me wanting to meet you. This article —

Blaze: It’s a hit piece. You think I haven’t had some myself? Mine are usually accompanied by an incredibly unflattering picture. It’s no big deal. Don’t worry about it.

Brook Lynn: Really?

Blaze: Really.

Brook Lynn: Thank you.

Blaze: But it was really a low blow to make light of you being attacked.

Brook Lynn: It’s not easy losing the one thing you love more than anything in life.

Elizabeth: I’m glad you told me about Charlotte. But I have to get back to work. Will you head home?

Jake: Okay. Look, there’s Carly. Uh, can I go ask her about Uncle Drew? You said I could go visit him, but it’s been so long.

Elizabeth: Wait. There’s something I have to tell you about your Uncle Drew.

Sonny: Drew’s a smart guy. I’m sure he was very careful in how he went about asking questions.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

Carly: Ava, I just came back from Pentonville, from visiting Drew. Sonny and I went there to ask for his help. Sonny wants him to find out who your friend Austin visited when he was there.

Carly: Ava. Ava!

Jake: [ Voice breaking ] Uncle Drew has to be okay, Mom.

Elizabeth: The moment I know anything, I will call you.

Jake: No, no. I want to be here to find out. Please.

Carly: I am at G.H. on the 10th floor. Get here as soon as you can, Ava. [ Sighs heavily ] What are you doing here?

Nina: I heard what happened to Drew.

Elizabeth: Carly, they’re taking Drew for emergency surgery.

Carly: What? Emergency surgery? Why? What happened?

Elizabeth: I don’t have any details, but Dr. Reyes will be here soon to give you an update.

Carly: Oh, please let him be okay. Please.

Kristina: Thank you for the brilliant idea.

Alexis: I have no idea what that idea was, but you’re welcome.

Kristina: And I know I was a little hard on you before, but I do really appreciate you coming to tell me about the baby and the news yourself.

Alexis: You and Molly are gonna get through this because my girls love each other. You just be the strong one for Molly this time, okay?

Kristina: Promise.

Alexis: I adore you.

Kristina: [ Chuckles ]

Alexis: And I love you.

Kristina: Love you.

Brook Lynn: If anyone could understand what it would be like, it’d be you. Singing was everything to me. For it to just be taken away suddenly, forever.

Blaze: How’d you even deal with it?

Brook Lynn: I had a lot of help. You know, Chase made me realize that there were a lot of different ways that I could use whatever talent I have.

Blaze: But you never really lost your love for music.

Brook Lynn: Ugh. Not even close. It’s in my blood. My dad’s a musician. My mom was a music manager.

Blaze: Really?

Brook Lynn: Oh, yeah. Lois Cerullo — She is quite a character. You would really like her. She always says the old cliché, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

Blaze: “Make lemonade.”

Brook Lynn: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. She’s got quite a style. It’s definitely her own.

Blaze: Maybe she’ll want to meet your first client.

Brook Lynn: Really? You still want to sign with me?

Blaze: Hell yeah.

[ Both laugh ]

Dr. Reyes: Ms. Spencer?

Carly: Yes? Is Drew conscious?

Dr. Reyes: No. But that might have saved his life. He broke one of his ribs. X-rays showed that one of the shards of the ribs is threatening the aorta. Any unnecessary movement could have been fatal.

Carly: So, the surgery is gonna fix this?

Dr. Reyes: That depends on many factors. But we have a specialist operating. The surgery will take a few hours. We won’t have any answers till it’s finished.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

Anna: We seem to end up in the strangest places together.

Sonny: Yeah, that’s true.

Anna: Feel like maybe we should be here right now, though.

Sonny: Remember when you asked me if it was worth it? The life that I chose?

Anna: Yeah.

Sonny: I’m beginning to wonder.

Valentin: And I think… we should put a tennis court right there.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Valentin: Oh, you know what? That’s the landscaper. I’ll be right back. Hello?

Valentin: Charlotte?

Charlotte: Yes, Papa?

Valentin: Is everything alright?

Charlotte: Everything’s going to be perfect.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase: Someone want to tell me what’s going on?

Gladys: Where’s my daughter-in-law?

Dante: If we don’t get that–

Cody: I could be the one in prison.

Jake (to Elizabeth, with Finn): We just have to sit around and do nothing?

Elizabeth: Not necessarily.

Valentin (to Charlotte): How would you feel if Anna moved in with us?

Anna (to Sonny): I’m not ready to turn the page.

Carly (to Ava, with Nina): Cut the act. I know exactly what you did.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Portia chuckles ] Oh! Well, hello there. What’s going on? I didn’t expect to see you here. I was actually just about to head home. Yeah. Um, I had a follow-up appointment, and so I thought I would come in a little early and see if I can catch you. Well, consider me caught.

[ Laughs ] Well, what can I do for you? Oh, no. Is it that bad? No, um, but it is important. It’s about our daughter.

[ Mutters indistinctly ] Much better.

[ Knock on door ] I’m busy. Go away.

[ Knocking continues ] Go away! Too busy for your boyfriend? Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! Yes, spencer, I’m even too busy for you. Mom. Hey. Well, hello, dr. Ashford. What are you — what are you — what are you doing here? My neighbor had surgery, so I thought I’d stop by and visit her. Well, that’s nice of you. Although I wouldn’t expect any less from my amazing mother. Oh, someone’s in a good mood. I am so pumped! Dr. Chang asked me to assist him in surgery this morning. I’m guessing that’s a big deal…? You have no idea. He is the best in his field. And there I was, right by his side. He even asked me to join him in his next surgery. Oh, honey, that’s great. I am so proud of you. Thanks, mom. Now I need to do even more research because I have to be at the top of my game for the next surgery. Ah, okay. Well, luckily, you have time to study now. When a baby comes into the picture, things are going to change. Molly: We’ll have to set up a meeting with da scorpio. Oh, molly! Hi. Oh, I’m sorry. Am I interrupting? Oh, hi, mom. Hi. I’ll call you when I’m back in the office. I knew you were in court today, so I wanted to stop by and see how you did. Did you win? No. The judge sided with the defendant, which means da scorpio is going to want to hear a play-by-play of what went wrong. Nothing went wrong. You’re perfect. I’m sure it was the judge — bias. Look what happened to drew.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Hey, andrea. I’m kind of in the middle of something — why do you need to see me right away? Okay. There you are. Let me get you some menus. Here you go. And I’ll be back in a couple minutes.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, I just got to charlie’S. Don’t worry. Not a problem. I’ll just answer some emails on my phone. I’ll see you when you get here. Hey, you can go ahead and take a seat, and I will be with — oh, my god. Blaze.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for coming back to my house with me. I go where you need me. Ah, okay. Well, I didn’t want to have this conversation in public. You know, the last thing we need is anyone hearing what we’re saying. Absolutely. We need to be discreet. You said you have some information on the judge. And most importantly, is it enough to get drew out of pentonville?

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

Yeah, I’m in the courthouse. Okay, that works. I’ll wait for you here, andrea. Thanks. Is there a problem? I’m not sure. That was andrea. She was having breakfast next door, and she wants to see me in person. Did she say what it was about? No. Which means it’s bad news, right? No — because if it was good news, she would have just told me what it was. We don’t know that. She didn’t sound happy. She seemed nervous. Just relax. She’ll be here any second. In the meantime, do you want me to wait with you? Do you have time? I always have time for you. Thanks. Let’s sit down. Are you sure you don’t need to get to the invader? I’m sure! I will just text gregory and tell him that I’m going to be a little late this morning. You sure have been spending a lot of time with him. Did you and diane have an argument about something? The only thing diane and i argue about is exercise. Am I not allowed to have more than one friend? Ah! There. I’m available for you for the rest of the morning. Please tell gregory “thank you” for me. I certainly will. You know, he was a great hire, I have to admit. And for a stuffy professor, he’s actually a lot of fun. He’s got great stories. I’m happy to hear that. Because I really like him. I’m so glad he gave up teaching to work with you. And I hope he sticks around a long time. Sorry. Have we met before? Do I know you? Yes — no. Uh, n-no. You don’t know me. I know you. I-I love your music. Thank you. My god, your latest single is — is amazing. It’s on, like, all of my playlists all the time. My — my cooking playlist, my running playlist, my productivity playlist, my… my fangirl moment is going to come to an end now. Um, can I get you a table or…? I’m meeting someone here, but they’re running late. Oh. I think I’ll just wait at the bar. Great. Uh, right this way. Okay. First round is on me. Uh, I insist. So, what can I get you? Bloody mary? Mimosa? Just some sparkling water. I’m here for a business meeting. Great. Sure. I’m working on my essayfor my art seminar. Okay? I’ll talk to you in a couple of hours. Hey, aren’t you the person who said that your goal this year is to have more of a work-life balance with pcu? Yeah, I did say that. Oh! Okay, good! So your essay really can wait, can’t it? Not if I want it to be good — and I do. Trina, you just started your junior year at pcu. This essay, if I had to guess — you probably have two more weeks for this, at least. Oh! Am I right? Okay, then I’ll take you up on that bet, because you would lose in a heartbeat. It’s due on tuesday. Oh, tuesday! So, in other words, you have plenty of time for a little bit of fun. Mm. So, go ahead and tell me. What’s going on with our daughter? Okay, well, uh… when we were playing video games last night — yeah, when you said that I “wasn’t very good at it.” Oh, babe, it’s — it’s not… I-I don’t think you’ve figured out the buttons just yet. Yeah, but you could teach me. I want to be down with you guys. It’s like a family affair. Of course.

[ Laughs ] I think we’re getting a little off topic. Okay, while we were playing video games — uh-huh. …Trina told me that, uh… she was planning a trip. I wonder if she had mentioned that to you. No, she hasn’t, but I’m certainly not surprised. I mean, she’s been pretty busy — moving back into the dorm, working part time at the gallery, and plus that huge class schedule she still has. I’m sure she just hasn’t told me yet. So, where’s she going? Another art gallery, probably. Oh, no, it’s not work or school related. She’s taking a trip to manhattan. Oh. With spencer. As you know, I just had breakfast with robert scorpio. Yeah, you told me he had some insight as to why the judge gave drew such a ridiculous sentence. Because robert told me that judge kim has career aspirations well beyond his current seat on the bench. Like what?

[ Chuckles ] Like the 2nd circuit court of appeals. Okay… the 2nd circuit court could be a huge stepping stone to the supreme court. For that, you need an impressive judicial record, friends in the justice department. Okay, I get all that. What does this have to do with drew?

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Shouting ]

Andrea. Molly. What’s going on?

[ Grunting ]

[ Blows landing ] Judge kim appears to be — could be — paving the way for the justice department to offer you a deal. You’re not saying…? Of course I’m saying. It’s a broken record. Judge kim hands drew an overly harsh sentence. The feds are well aware that you’re frantic to get drew out of pentonville. That’s their leverage. So they offer to release him from prison in exchange for — in exchange for information on sonny. There you go. Trina and spencer are going to new york city? Yeah, look, I don’t want to betray her trust, but that’s what she told me. And I kind of got the feeling she expected I would tell you. When is this happening? For how long? This weekend. A couple of days. Um, that’s the way I understand it. Okay. Look, I know, uh, spencer is a tricky subject for you and trina, and I-I’m sorry if I upset you. Hey, trina’s a junior in college. If she wants to go away for the weekend, she has every right to. And, um, she certainly doesn’t have to tell her mother about it in advance. Okay. That’s, um… that’s not how I expected you’d react.

[ Chuckles tightly ] Are you really as calm about this as you seem? Oh, can I get you a refill? Uh, sure. Okay, so, listen, I know that this is totally none of my business, so feel free to say so. But, uh, does this meeting that you’re having here perhaps have anything to do with your next album? No. I’m looking for new management because my last manager was a total creep. Thank god that’s over. Oh, yeah. I remember how that whole thing blew up at the nurses’ ball. Yeah, well, I’m sure everyone wants to sign you, though, right? They do. But after linc, I realize that I need more control over my career. It’s hard to find people with vision. Most just want you to churn out the same songs year after year. The old “shut up and sing.” They don’t want to hear that I play four instruments and write as well. Wow. I have a voice. And it’s my fault I stayed with linc for as long as I did, because he wouldn’t listen to it. I won’t make that mistake again. I am fully prepared for our lives to change if and when a baby comes along. And I understand that I may not be able to devote as much time to medicine, and that’s not a problem. Everything will take a back seat to the baby. I shouldn’t even be talking like this. We don’t know if the ivf was successful. Well, how long before you find out if it worked? Andrea should know in a few days. But molly and I, we want to give her space. We’re trying to resist the urge to text her every morning, asking if she’s pregnant. Yeah. Well, I know it can’t be easy waiting. It’s not. Molly’s had so much disappointment since we started trying to have a baby. I just… I don’t want to get her hopes up. It might not happen this time. But it could. Andrea, before you tell me why you needed to see me, I feel like I need to say something first. Okay. This whole surrogate experience, I know it’s been hard on me and hard on tj, but I’ve also tried to put myself in your shoes. You must feel so much responsibility to make this happen for us, and I just want you to know if — if you have bad news, like it didn’t take — molly — …and you’ve decided you don’t want to be our surrogate anymore, I completely understand. Molly, please stop — I know you’re in a very difficult — my daughter is just so smart, sometimes she just overthinks things. I’m not here with bad news. Just the opposite, in fact. I’m pregnant. Really?! I mean, we should have dr. Navarro confirm, but the — the home test says I’m pregnant.

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Blows landing ] Inmate big joey: Okay. Enough! The job’s done.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Am I thrilled that trina is going to manhattan for the weekend with spencer?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, of course not. But what am i supposed to do? March over to her dorm and forbid her to go? Well, I know how much you don’t trust spencer, so the idea did occur to me. Yeah, well, trust me, if I thought for a second that that would work, I’d be at her dorm in a heartbeat. But I know better. I’ve learned by now that you can’t pressure our daughter. I learned the hard way. And she’s a lot like you in that way. And you’re not stubborn at all.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, she inherited her strength from both of her parents.

[ Sighs ] Well, uh, I probably should get to my checkup, so… we’ll talk tonight. Okay.

[ Chuckles ] Mm. Spencer, stop. What? What’s the matter? No, no — are my lips chapped?

[ Laughs ] What’s wrong? Come on. You’re not having fun? No, no, that’s not the point. You’re distracting me. I-I need to finish this paper before we go to the city. I know.And you’re just, like, totally distracting me right now. Totally distra– I know, it’s so hard. But, hey, look, it’s going to be okay. I know that you’re such a perfectionist. I know that you’ve got to get things done and you’re such a good student, but we’re going to be back from our trip on monday, and then you’re going to be able to turn in your paper on tuesday. Look, trina, I admire how smart you are. This all looks very impressive. I’m sure that you did double the amount of research that you probably needed to for this paper. But, hey, you’re going to have time to finish this when we get back from our trip. Let’s go! Okay, yeah, you’re — you’re probably right. Yeah, I am right. But I-I need to finish the paper before we go! Trina robinson! Listen, if I don’t finish this, right — if I don’t finish this paper before we go, I’ll be thinking about it all weekend. And I-I want this weekend to be about us. The only thing I want to be thinking about is you and me and… us being together. Do you really think it could happen? I’ve been trying not to let myself go there. I keep thinking that I’ll somehow jinx it. But what if it worked, and andrea really is pregnant? Then that will be the best news in the world. Wow. Well, that m– that means in nine months, baby ashford-davis could be here. What if we’re not ready? Or if we — we don’t know what we’re doing? Tj — or if — if we… no one knows how to do this their first time around. But in medical school, I could just open a book and study, and then I’d have the answers. There’s no book, mom, to tell me how to be a-a good dad. What if I just… what if I can’t do it? As soon as I took the test and saw that I was pregnant, all I could think about was telling you. And yes, it’s incredibly premature and we should schedule an appointment with dr. Navarro, but when I saw the result, it just made me so incredibly happy, and I figured you would feel the same way. I am. I do. I… and you 100% made the right call telling me because we are in this together. Yes. Oh, my god. I need to tell tj. Th-then again, he has a really busy day at the hospital. Maybe I should wait to tell him tonight. I’ll let you make that call. Wait, if you’re pregnant, you need to eat something. Well, I just had breakfast, but if you haven’t eaten, I could maybe have a juice or something. It — it does feel like we should celebrate, right? Yes, absolutely. Mom, would you like to join us? No, no, no. You — you two go celebrate together. Oh, mol. Mol? Mol! Yeah, mom, what is it? I’m very happy for you. I don’t want to be a debbie downer. I just want you to remember it’s early. Things happen. I’m not saying they will. Just don’t want you to get ahead of yourself, okay? I know, mom. And you’re right. And I-I hear what you’re saying. But this is the first good news I’ve had in a really long time. And I want to really celebrate that. You and chase were so good at the nurses’ ball this year. Thank you. I loved danielle ponder. Yeah, that’s so funny, my little sister is obsessed with her. Oh, how many siblings do you have? Two brothers and four sisters. Wow. Yeah.

[ Laughs ] That is… that’s a lot, right? Uh, but my sisters and i actually, um, we’ve performed a few times at the nurses’ ball. Really? Yeah. You sing? Okay, I need to hear more about that.

[ Laughs ] So, we’re doing this again. The only way to get drew out of pentonville is if I give the feds information on sonny? Well, look, this is all still pure speculation on my part, on robert’s part, okay? We have no proof that the feds, the justice department, are involved in any way. Okay? There’s no firm deal on the table. This could just be a political stunt by judge kim to move him up the ladder. It could also be the reason that he gave drew this insane sentence. I don’t know what to say. Nothing. Nothing. It’s just my obligation to present you with all the options. It’s not an option. If the feds came to me and they offered me a deal, I’m not going to take it. You know I’m not going to take it. I know sonny’s not my husband anymore, but he’s still my family. And I’m not going to be the person who puts him in prison. Not even if it means saving drew? Not even if it means saving drew. Attagirl.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Guard! A prisoner’s been attacked! Come quick! So, what you’re saying is you’re more than just a bartender, that you have hidden talents. I am, in fact, more than just a bartender. Yeah, I actually, uh… I manage this place. Oh, good for you. Thanks. Yeah, I mean, clearly, between the two of us, you are the professional singer here. Mine is just, you know… I had fun. Well, that’s all that really matters. Because if you’re not having fun, neither is the audience. I don’t know how you do it, though. I mean, honestly, I still get terrified getting onstage. Once I’m there and in the moment and everything, I can enjoy myself, but it just… I don’t know. It — it was for a good cause. And, you know, we raised some money, so I guess that’s all that counts, right?

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, uh, excuse me one second. I’ll be right back. There are tons of books on parenting and endless websites with advice on infant care. But the bottom line — there’s no roadmap for raising a child. It’s on-the-job training. But what if I fail? There’s no trick to changing a diaper, but how do I make my child feel comfortable? How do I make them feel safe and secure? Look, tj, I’m not the best person to be giving parenting advice. I missed a lot of your upbringing, and it’s something I’ll regret for the rest of my life. But what I do know is that you are an amazing person with an incredible partner. You and molly will figure this out together. Thank you. And for the record, you are an amazing mom and you will be an incredible grandma. Oh!

[ Laughing ] Okay? Okay, you know what? I’m still rethinking that name. I’m just, mm… I’m just too young to be called grandma, don’t you think? Mm. Absolutely.

[ Both laugh ] Speaking of celebrating, would it be all right with you if I told sam and kristina that andrea is pregnant? What happened to you saying it’s still very early? I know what I said. I… I… I-if you let me tell them, I will make sure that they’re cautiously optimistic. I just, you know, want all the davis girls to be on the same page regarding your journey with tj. And whatever happens, you know, we’ll just all be supportive. Is this your way of trying to get kristina and me talking? Absolutely. Is it so wrong for a mother to want her children to talk to each other? I guess they’re going to find out sooner or later. You know what, mom? Go for it. I love you. Oh, I love you. Trina, you have no idea. You have no idea the fantastic weekend that I have planned for you. There is no way that you would even be able to think about, even for a second, some silly paper that you have to write. First of all, my paper isn’t silly. Art is going to be my career, and I take my work very seriously. No, I know. I know. Okay, then I don’t want to be thinking about my paper when we go on our trip.

[ Sing-song voice ] Which is why… I need you to go.

[ Spencer sighs ] I know, but even if you didn’t finish your paper, I really, really doubt that you’d be able to think about school while you were there because… you know what? Never mind. It’s okay. What? No, it’s okay. What? Don’T…no! No, don’t worry about it. Stop! What is it? What? Tell me. You really want to know? Yes. You really, really want to know? Yes! I got us prime tickets to go see “moulin rouge.” Really? Yeah. Really?! Yeah. I listen to the original cast album all the time. I know! It’s almost like we’re dating and I know these things about you.

[ Both laugh ] So, yeah, we’re going to go. We have amazing seats. We’re going to be in the third row, center stage, all that jazz. And, um… I got us dinner reservations… at essence. What? I knew you were supposed to be taking me, but that place is supposed to, like, be the hardest place to get reservations at. Yeah. What can I say? I have a few connections. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Ah, she’s excited!

[ Laughs ] Okay, maybe you’re right. Maybe this weekend will be amazing. Oh, I can’t wait! Well, you don’t have to wait. Look, I’m already all packed, so why don’t we just get you packed and then we can get out of here? Oh, hi there, dr. Robinson. Esme. Hi.

[ Both chuckle ] Oh! Is everything okay with ace? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he’s great. He just had his normal pediatrician appointment this morning. I tried to make it as early as I could so I didn’t miss too much work. Mm, that’s very commendable of you. And you seem to be doing a wonderful job with ace. Now, that’s a happy baby.

[ Both laugh ] Well, I can’t take all the credit. Spencer’s actually been a really big help. And I appreciate you suggesting that parenting class that we took together. It was really helpful to get us on the same page. That’s great.

From what I know aboutlate september in manhattan, it can mean pretty much anything weather-wise, so you’re going to want to be prepared for hot and cold. You’re going to want to bring something fancy for the theater. And I was thinking maybe you pack something casual in case you and I want to go for a walk around central park. Okay. So, where do you want to start? You’re going to look amazing no matter what you wear, so don’t even give me that look. Well, thank you for the compliment, but, uh, I don’t need your help packing. Hey, this is to speed things up, not slow things down. The sooner that we get on the road, the sooner that we get to new york, the sooner that you and i get to have some fun. Well, I’mma keep saying this until it sinks into your thick skull, but I’m not packing until I finish my essay. And I can’t finish my essay until you leave. What part of that sentence is confusing? No, I completely understand. I just have a different goal. Because I know you, trina robinson. And if I had to guess, I’d say that that essay over there is probably finished. Hm? I’m thinking maybe you have to do a little bit of proofreading, maybe a little bit of editing.

[ Laughing ] Ohh! You are so busted. That is exactly what it is. And you can do all of that on monday when we get back from our little trip. Okay, let’s go. No, you’re wrong. Okay, okay. I’m wrong. Uh, trina, I don’t believe you. Okay. You can believe me or not. But either way, if you really want to speed up this departure, you’ll go. And the door is over there. You know, I’m surprised at how good you’ve been to me, both as a doctor and… almost as a friend. Well, I’m sure you’ve heard the oath doctors take — “first, do no harm.” Well, for me, I kind of took that to mean be of service and help people. I’m — I’m not surprised that you’re kind and caring as a person. I think I’m just a little surprised that you’re extending that kindness to me, especially considering all the awful things I did to your daughter. But you’re a different person than you were when you did those things to trina and her friends. Right? Yes. I’m really just trying to be a better person for my son. And that’s the person I’m reacting to. I’m reacting to you, the mom of beautiful baby ace. Thank you. I really can’t tell you how much that means to me. That I can come to you for advice about ace. You know, I was a young mom, too. So I get it. I know how hard it can be. And sometimes you just need some help.

[ Both chuckle ] And with laura and kevin out of the country, um, I just thought maybe you would need some extra support. That’s all. So, if you need anything else, please, let me know. You know where I am. Okay? Sounds good. Thank you. I hate that drew is being used as a pawn by this judge for his career. Not to mention, this would not be happening to drew if it wasn’t for his involvement with me. But not turning evidence to free drew is less about sonny and — and it’s more about my kids. If sonny goes to prison, we’re in danger. We all have targets on our backs. And drew would never want that. Okay, now I’M… I’m not understanding. Are you saying that you are regretting being involved with drew? No. I regret what my world has done to drew. Yeah, but, c-carly, drew is not new to port charles. He’s been around the block. He was aware of how, shall we say, complicated your life is. And he chose to be involved with you anyway. That’s not making me feel any better. But I’m just saying, don’t torture yourself with gratuitous guilt. And certainly don’t blame yourself for the bad conduct of this overambitious judge. But can we prove bad conduct? Can we prove that this judge gave drew a ridiculous sentence just for political gain? Because right now, that’s the only chance we’ve got. I found him like this. He’s barely breathing. He needs a hospital, now!

[ Sighs ] Okay, trina robinson. So, how much more time do you think that you need so that you can finish up your essay and then you can go to new york and we don’t have to think about this anymore? I don’t exactly know, but I’ll say that you added about an hour by interrupting me. Are you really saying you’re sorry I showed up? Oh, trina, that’s the last thing that you should do if you want me to leave. Go. No. Come on! You don’t get to come over here and kiss me like that then expect me to go! No! Yes, because I need to finish my paper if you want me to kiss you like that again in new york.

[ Sighs ] You don’t play fair. No, I don’T. Now go. Okay, but type fast, trina robinson! New york city awaits! You did so good today, didn’t you? Yeah. I know! You’re a pro. You’re a professional. Such a big guy.

[ Both laugh ] It was nice to see you again, dr. Robinson. You too, esme. Ace says goodbye, too. Okay, bye. Bye-bye! You have a good day, handsome. Bye. Bye. Take care. You too.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Well, hello there. How’d your checkup go? Uh, well, I’m still in a wheelchair. But aside from that, all good. You know, I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you. Thank you for filling me in on trina’s trip. Yeah, well, we are trina’s parents. We’re in this together. What are you watching? Uh, you. At the nurses’ ball a few years back. You’re singing a sara bareilles song, and you’re good. Oh, my god. You did not look me up. Of course I did. It took me all of 30 seconds to find it online. Okay… easy peasy. But again, you totally misrepresented this. I mean, first of all, it’s not an easy song to sing. And this choreography is really good. I hope that if the nurses’ ball ever asks you to perform again, you’ll agree to do it. No. No, I absolutely will not. Hey, who’s the professional singer here? That would be you. You are. Uh, exactly. So just take the compliment. Okay, I will… if you stop watching that.

[ Laughs ] Deal. Then, thank you for the compliment. Hey, gregory, it’s me. I just had some really great news, and I think that I made a breakthrough with kristina and molly. Right? I know. And anyway, the reason that I’m calling is because I am in such a good mood that I don’t feel like going to work today. So, I was wondering… after I run a few errands, what do you say we cross off something on your bucket list? I think if there were evidence against judge kim that he was unfairly sentencing people to advance his own career, some reporter would have already dug it up.

[ Sighs ] I’m just saying, I’m here to present all options. Okay, of course I’m going to try. Of course. But we need to have realistic expectations. At best, this is a long shot. Okay, well, a long shot is better than no shot at all. Where do we start? I need to see if there is a precedent for a judge delivering a politically motivated sentence — and if that sentence was then overturned. Because that could go a long way to getting drew’s case seen before another judge. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, diane.

[ Cellphone rings ] Diane miller. Um, y-yes. Y-y-yes. But I’m going to demand a full explanation. That’s right. Bye. What’s that? What’s going on? Um… is it bad? Yes, it’s very bad. Um…

[ Clears throat ] Drew was attacked in pentonville. What? How — how bad is it? He’s in an ambulance on his way to general hospital. I have to get to him. Right now.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

e[ Strumming guitar ] Psst! You talking to me? Yeah. Just making sure that the coast is clear. No granny sightings? Tracy? No, no, she’s not here. If I’m playing my guitar, you can rest assured that tracy is nowhere in the vicinity. She’s having a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that I’m eddie, not ned. She gave me an earful yesterday about the evils of the music industry, so…

[ Chuckles ] I bet she did. Yeah. I hope you didn’t listen to her. Oh, no, not even close. I actually have an important meeting today that, if all goes well, you will be looking at a successful music manager. Oh. “My beautiful date”? Marshall’s right about one thing. But do you think this is a date? Well…

[ Chuckles ] If it gets us free drinks, I don’t see why not.

[ Knock on door ] Ah. Hi, anna. Hi. Um, I’m so sorry to interrupt. Oh, not at all. Not at all. I was just waking up from a [Chuckles] Late night at the savoy. What brings you by this morning? Well, I was, um, wondering whether i would be allowed to look at the security footage from the corridor outside the suite where we were staying. Why do you want to look at the security footage? Why? Because of the break-in. What break-in? She’s still sleeping. Oh, good. How was she after I left last night? She was fine. She just stayed in her room after you left. Good. Thank you, by the way. Yeah, of course. I love charlotte. She is welcome here anytime. You know that. I know. I-I just didn’t give you much of a heads-up, and I appreciate it. Gave me a chance to make some arrangements, though. Arrangements for what? I mean, valentin, what are you gonna do about charlotte targeting anna? Yes, I’ll accept the charges. Drew: Carly.

Hey, good morning. Aw, it is now that I hear your voice. Are you staying safe? Doing my best. I miss you. Believe me, I miss you, too. How’s it going? Do you have any news or information for me to give to sonny? Not yet. I am, uh… I’m still working on it. Good morning. Ah! The delightful ms. Miller. Robert, flattery will get you everywhere. Hmm. I see you’ve come out for work. Well, you said this was a working breakfast. I did. Uh, please, sit. Yep. So what case are we working on? Well, I may have found a way to help drew, and I get to see you at the same time. Well, either way, you have my attention. Hub. Tenth floor. L-let me transfer you to the icu. Willow! It’s so good to see you. I’ve thought about this day a lot, especially during my treatments. I used to watch the nurses, picture myself working alongside them again, and now I finally am. Yes, you are, and everyone on staff couldn’t be happier to have you back working with us. We really missed you. Thank you, deanna. I missed all of you.

[ Telephone rings ] Your first call back. You want to take that? Absolutely. Tenth floor nurses’ station.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey.

Where are you with the subpoenas? I’m working on getting gladys’ bank records. Hopefully soon. Okay, well, what about the toxicology report? That subpoena is gonna take a little bit longer. That’s time sasha doesn’t have.

I, um… I asked around, put some feelers out, but unfortunately I haven’t come up with anything yet. Oh, drew, be careful, please. I mean, if you feel like things are getting dangerous, I want you to back off. I will. Promise me.

I promise. Now, enough about me. How are you? Yeah, I mean, I’m doing fine. Except I hate that you’re not here. I know. How are the girls? They’re great. I mean, donna and josslyn are doing great. What about you? Have you seen scout and sam? Well, scout just started school. I mean, she’s really busy. She’s got homework and soccer practice and swim lessons. And so, no, I haven’t seen much of her, but I guess that’s probably for the best. You know what? I have diane working every angle to get you out of there. But until then, you can’t cut yourself off from the people who love you, especially scout. What have your sleuthing skills sussed so far? I did a bit of back checking on judge kim. And? Well, it seems that he’s, uh, pushing for a promotion to the second circuit court of appeals. Oh-ha-ha. Well, appearing to be tough on major crime — that would endear him to the second circuit court. But — but why go after somebody like drew, give him an overly harsh sentence? Forget about drew. Think about his girlfriend and her ex-husband. Once again, all roads lead to sonny. Valentin

and I weresupposed to have dinner in the hotel restaurant last night, and we changed our minds, decided to order room service. And then by the time we got to the suite, someone had broken in. What? I know. Oh, anna. I — well, I filed a report with the pcpd. Surely — I-I’m so sorry that this happened to you at my hotel. No, it’s not your fault. You — this is the first I’m hearing of this, honestly, and which is very strange, because nina is usually very good about — about communicating with me about hotel business. Did she leave a message somewhere or something? It’s possible, but she didn’t communicate with me directly. I mean, as I said, I was very distracted last night. Let me see. Maybe she left a message on my business line, but… I just want to apologize on behalf of the metro court hotel. Is there anything at all that I can do for you? I mean, you know, whatever you need. I assume you’ve been moved into a different suite. Oh, yes. Yeah. Your staff were great. They moved us almost immediately, and I’m fine. Really, I’m — thank you, though. Any idea who might want to do this to you? Yeah. I mean, it’s possibly the same person that burned my house, I think.

[ Sighs ] Anna, I’m sorry. If there’s anything that you need, I’m here for you. Yes, there’s something you can do. Name it. So, the security footage. Yeah. I was told it’s missing, and I-I just wanted to make sure there’s no misunderstanding.

[ Chuckles ] Missing? No. We have a state-of-the-art security system here. I can assure you of that. All right, well, if you can access the footage — but if it is missing… mm-hmm. …Maybe you can pull it up from another source, like the mainframe server or something? Okay, about, uh, what time did the break-in happen? Between 7:00 and 9:00 P.M., I’d say. All right, and I am just… looking up what suite you were staying in. What I would like is the corridor outside that suite, the footage from there, and also the surrounding area. Don’t worry, I know this will not be a problem. Thank you. Well, first, I need to keep charlotte close. I need to keep a watchful eye on her. I-I think I’ve been distracted. I’ve — I’ve obviously neglected her. Distracted, maybe. Neglecting her? No. My daughter is running around doing god knows what. She’s a child. That’s something I’ve obviously forgotten. I need to spend more time with her. You’ve always put charlotte first. You always have. Have I? Have I? ‘Cause I don’t think she feels that way. And now she’s targeting anna for my absence. Well, your daughter is gonna need more than just time with her dad. At some point, you are going to have to confront her about everything that she has done. I know. But first, I need to know the extent of my daughter’s crimes. If we can get the bank statements, it could provide circumstantial evidence. But I bet — I bet you those statements are gonna show that gladys withdrew a ton of sasha’s money. I mean, probably taken out in cash. Right. Well, if gladys was paying montague in cash, we won’t be able to prove it. And that means the only thing we have tying him to sasha and keeping her in ferncliff and almost killing her is cody. N-no. No one is gonna believe cody. Well, the other option is to try and prove that montague was giving sasha mood-altering drugs. Yeah, well, one step at a time, okay? First, we need to prove there was a drug. Mm. We’ve got to get the toxicology report. I think I have a way to get it.

Why don’t you tell meabout this meeting of yours? I could use a distraction. The lyrics just aren’t flowing for me this morning. Okay, so there is this amazing singer. Her name is blaze. She’s a total rising star, and I want to be the one to take her to the top. She is an incredible talent, like beyoncé level. Wow. She must really be something. Well, I wouldn’t be signing her if she wasn’t special. Oh, well… so she’s already agreed to work with you, then? Not exactly. We’re actually meeting today, and I am going to give her the full-court press about how she should sign with me. If she were smart, she would take the deal. You’ve got a lot going for you. Well, if all goes well, maybe I could represent you. What do you think? I’m not sure if you’d want me. Marshall ashford called this morning and offered me a gig at the savoy tonight. That’s great. Well, it is, except — well, it’s kind of stupid, but I-I promised him that I would finish this song, and I am not going to finish this new song. So my music career could be over before it even gets started. What? What is it? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Anna, you were — you were right. I mean, the — the file containing the footage from noon to midnight is — is missing from the area around your suite. It’s, like, been wiped from the server. Could it be a computer glitch or…?

[ Chuckles ] If it is, it’s the first time that’s ever happened. Who else has access to the server it’s stored on? It’s only me and nina. I mean, hotel security can get the security footage, but they can’t have access to the server. All right, and how long do you typically archive your security footage? Three years before it’s deleted. Obviously, whoever broke into my suite, they — they hacked into your system and they deleted themselves breaking in. This does not sound like a random break-in, anna. This is obviously a professional job. Yeah, it does imply whoever’s after me is… somewhat sophisticated. The first thing I need to know is, did charlotte burn anna’s house? Oh, my god.

[ Scoffs ] I can’t imagine charlotte would do that to anyone, let alone anna. I just wish this was a mistake, some sort of misunderstanding. Oh, well, yeah, because not in 100 years would I think that charlotte would break into anna’s room, trash the place, destroy her clothes, write a threatening message. But we have that security footage. I mean, where was charlotte when anna’s house burned? She was at camp, but that’s an hour away. She could have taken a rideshare. Well, do you keep track of her rideshare history? I mean, do — do you keep track of her spending? I thought I did. I just — how could I be so stupid? No, valentin, valentin. You cannot blame yourself for any of this. I do. I do. I sent her to live with sam and dante. Who knows what she tells them that I’m okay with or not okay with? I mean, I have no idea what she’s up to when I’m not around. Carly, I wish I could talk to you all day. Carly: Yeah, I know.

Me, too. I got to go.

[ Sighs ] I love you. Same. Talk to you soon, okay? Bye. Cain. You serious about my son getting that internship at aurora? 100%. Yeah, that doctor you were asking about? Yeah. Gatlin-holt. Yes, him. I see where you’re going with this, robert. Figured you would. It’s a fascinating theory. So judge kim hands drew an overly harsh sentence, ridiculous, paving the way for the justice department to swoop in, provide carly with a deal — we will reduce drew’s sentence if, and only if, you, carly, flip on your ex-husband. There’s nothing to indicate that the justice department even know what’s going on here. It could be just the work of some overzealous judge who wants to score a few points. Either way, it could benefit drew.

[ Chuckles ] I love the way you think. Thank you. Shall we take this a step further? We still talking about the case?

[ Laughs ] We are. So, pure speculation. If judge kim is working on his own, then the justice department might want to have drew’s case reassigned to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. So my question for you is, where do I go… uh… …to do a — I-I’m gonna have to cut this short. Anna’s just arrived. Thank you. Willow. Hey. It’s so good to see you back at the hospital. Thank you, sam. It’s — I really missed it. I spent a lot of time here as a patient. It’s nice to be back as a nurse. Yeah, well, they are really lucky to have you. Uh, so what are you doing here? Is there anything I can help you with? Uh, I hate to hit you up on your first day, but, yeah, I-I do need a favor. And it’s — it’s not for me. It’s for sasha.

Okay, so your messagesaid it was important. What’s going on? Uh, you need to see this for yourself. Okay. See what? Well, why don’t you, um — ah! — Just sit yourself here. -Okay. -And I’ll join you in a minute. Wait. Where are you going? To get my briefcase and say goodbye to diane. Okay. Ah, I’m sorry, love. We got to cut breakfast short. Oh, well, love, you have been, uh, very helpful. Um, we’ll compare notes and, uh… do this some other time. That’s okay. I got it from here.

[ Stutters ] Breakfast is on me. Okay. I mean, I’ll — I’ll make it up to you. That’s okay. Totally not necessary. Come on, eddie. I know what it’s like struggling to finish a song. If the lyrics aren’t coming, you can’t force it. Your gut will tell you when it’s the right time to finish. Well, I appreciate it, but what am I gonna sing tonight? Marshall and the crowd will be expecting a new song. Well, maybe you could break out some of the classics. You can never go wrong with those. Well, I’ll figure something out. I hope you’re gonna be there. Oh, absolutely. I wouldn’t miss it. You know, I think there’s someone else who’d like to go. Maybe you can give her a personal invitation. Thanks for the advice. You’re pretty sharp, brook lynn. That blaze would be lucky to have you. This can’t be right. The security backup is even missing.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh. Hey, olivia. What’s up?

Hey, nina.

Uh, anna devane

was just in my office. She was telling me all about the break-in in her suite last night. Uh, do you know anything about this? Uh, y-yeah. I-I mean, I’m so sorry. Yeah, when I found out about it, I meant to tell you, but I just got distracted by work. Well, anna asked to see the security footage from the area around her suite the night of the break-in, and it’s — like, it’s missing from the server.

I know you were

in my office last night.

Is — is there any chance

that you tried to pull up the footage and, I don’t know, you accidentally deleted it or something? Y-you’re right. I-I did — I pulled up the footage and — but you know what? To tell you the truth, it was — it was already gone. So, listen, can we just talk about this when I get into the office? I have to go. Bye. Well, hi, sleepyhead. How was your night in the guest room? Where’s papa? Anna. Hey, it’s dante. I-I just read a report that — that said there was a break-in in your suite? I kind of wish I had heard it from you and not the police report, but, uh, you give me a call when you get a chance. Okay? Thanks. Dante. The, uh, desk sergeant said you were in here. Yeah. Okay, great. W-what is it, valentin? I need to talk to you privately. Okay. It’s kind of important. What about? Charlotte. Thank you. I’ll be back in just a second. So have you or dante heard from sasha or cody? I mean, do you know if they’re still together? Is sasha okay? Uh, I, um — I can’t go into details right now, but there may be a way for you to help sasha. Sasha is one of my best friends. She has put herself on the line for me so many times. I will do whatever is needed. Okay. Um… dante and I have a theory that dr. Montague, the, um, psychiatrist who was appointed to evaluate sasha, has been drugging her, undermining her mental health, and making her appear mentally ill. Oh, my god. That’s — that’s horrible. Why would a doctor do that? Right. Sorry. You can’t go into details. You know, it never made sense that sasha suddenly went off the deep end and stabbed cody. And then being sent to ferncliff seemed so extreme. What do you need me to do? Okay, the first step is proving it, so I need a copy of the toxicology report from the day that sasha stabbed cody. Do you think you can access that? The doctor you were asking about went to solitary. Why? Who was in solitary? Bobby lennon. He attacked a guard. And that’s who the doctor was here seeing. He — wait, he was here seeing a guard? No, no, lennon. The guards beat him up pretty badly, so the warden wanted to keep it quiet. Dr. Gatlin-holt. That’s who he was here visiting? I got my information right from the warden’s right hand. Was — was he here to see anybody else? No. One and done. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a second.

Why would lennon attack a guard? He would know the guard could destroy him. Well, who knows? I mean, maybe he did it to get drugs from the doctor. I mean, you’d be surprised at what a lot of guys around here would do to get drugs. Well, that’s all I got. I don’t know what else to tell you. All right. Thank you. Yeah. Well done. Thank you. And your son — what’s his name? Keith? Yeah, yeah. Keith will be well taken care of. He’ll get far more than an internship at aurora.

[ Anna sighs ] Best part of giving a gift is giving the gift. Uh, what is this? Come on, just open it. No, you’re not the gift-giving type.

[ Scoffs ] This is no time to editorialize. Just — just open it. Come on. It’s not even my birthday. Yes, well, we went to a lot of trouble. A lot of people went to a lot of trouble to get this here, anna. You are so gonna love this. Yeah. Robert. You like it, huh? Say yes. What did you do? Ah, I knew it! You’re gonna love this. Thank you.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I just sent you a picture of it. Yeah. I got it. Great. You were right. And it’s bad. It’s all set. There you go. Hey, nina. Charlotte, hi. How’s it going? How’s school so far? Hi, carly. It’s — it’s going okay. We had a little sleepover, and, of course, uh, I have nothing in my kitchen for us to make breakfast. And even if my refrigerator was fully stocked, we’d still get a better breakfast here. Hey, well, that’s kelly’s — everybody’s home away from home. So, charlotte, do you want the usual? Y-you have a usual? I have the french toast when jake and I eat breakfast here. That’s right. Extra cinnamon? Yes, please.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. What’s the occasion? What brings you here? I just wanted to see papa. I’m glad you did. What did you do today? Where have you been? I was with jake. Jake and I scootered over to the promenade at the court’s lane waterfront. Since I was close, I thought I’d visit papa. Do you guys want to see something cool?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Jake almost fell into the fountain. And in this one, I dared him to eat all the boba from the tea.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Nina? Uh, I’m sorry. It’s just crimson has me very distracted lately. Do you want to order something? Charlotte and I have been apart far too long. She made me realize that last night when she showed up at anna’s hotel suite. Was that after the break-in? That’s why I wanted her to spend the night at nina’S. They’re still pretty close, and I wanted her to feel assured. And going forward, I want her to feel safe and secure. So I’m taking steps for the two of us to live together again full-time. Oh. Okay. I mean, that’s great. I mean, she — she misses you. I’m grateful to you and sam. You’ve been terrific. But I have a lot of time to make up for, you know? Maybe you could, uh, let her come by and visit every once in a while. Her and rocco were getting along pretty good. Believe me, I know now more than ever how important family is to charlotte. Hey, um, what are your thoughts on that break-in? Well, I think whoever’s done this is trying to unsettle anna. And I think they’ve succeeded.

[ Sighs ] Hi, blaze. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We’re all set. I, um — I actually just wanted to call to let you know I’m really looking forward to our meeting. I think it could be the start of something really great. Yeah, I’ll see you soon. I want to know what happened to the footage from last night. Okay, w-well, it doesn’t just disappear. How could someone get into my security system and, what, just take down the security footage? What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t want to hear any excuses. The metro court hotel pays your company a small fortune to take care of this stuff. It is supposed to be secure. Okay. No, I want to know what the hell happened, and I want to know who’s responsible. Yes.

[ Sighs ] What?! Bad time? I’m gonna go to the restroom and wash my hands. Oh, yeah. Okay. I’m gonna get you a menu. Okay. Does charlotte come in here frequently? She’s been here a few times since she got back from camp. Is she usually alone, or is she with someone? What are you doing? Why do you want to know so much about charlotte? Well, valentin — he’s curious, you know, about what his daughter is doing since they spend so much time apart. She’s with dante and sam. She’s fine. I-I know she’s fine, carly. But you’ve raised a teenage daughter, right? You know that they don’t tell their parents everything, especially fathers. And that is what valentin is facing with charlotte. I’ve seen her in here with jake a few times. That’s it. Is she ever alone? Maybe once or twice, I think. Ever with anyone else? Oh, my god. I’ve only seen her with jake. That’s it. Okay. Thank you. Are you two talking about me? Hey. Hey. What’s, uh — what, you got something? I did.

[ Sighs ] Read it and weep. It’s really bad. But this is the first step in proving that montague was drugging sasha. Robert: Okay, there’s a switch on the back. Okay, that’s it. Yeah, that’s it. Push that. All righty. Well, don’t just hold it. Look at the pictures I uploaded. Come on. I’m treasuring the moment. Well, that’s what the pictures are for. You’ve got to look at them. Yeah. Number two. Look at number two. You’re gonna love it.

Love, love, love

the quiet’s getting way too loud

’round here

for a while that’s — that’S…

I want to live like every coast is clear

I could see the stars

from every side of this big world of ours

and charming boulevards

Sorry.That was very rude. I don’t want to seem unwelcoming. I-I just — I’ve got a lot going on at work today. I can see that. You look, uh, intense. Is work always this stressful for you? Well, you are passionate about your music, and I am passionate about my hotel. Fair enough. Speaking of my music… what? Did you finish the song? No, no, no, no. But the end will come to me eventually. Right. And when it does, I know it’s gonna be spectacular. One can only hope. But I did take another step forward in my music career. Really? How so? Marshall ashford is as good as his word. He called me this morning and asked me to perform at the savoy.

[ Laughs ] Oh, my god! When? Tonight. Ah! Oh, my god.

[ Laughing ] That is such great news. Uh, that’S… that’s really great news. I — [ Laughs ] Congratulations. Um… I know it’s gonna be great. It’s, uh — it’s, uh — it’s gonna be a really fun gig. Um, if you’ll excuse me, please. I got — I got a lot of work to do. Hotel’s not gonna run itself, right? Yes, the patient’s being transported to radiology now. Thank you. Willow, how’s yourfirst day going? It’s great. This was the perfect day for me to return to work. Dante: What am i looking at here? Sasha’s toxicology report. Wow. How did you get this?

[ Chuckles ] All right, so she’s got two drugs in her system. Yeah, the fluoxetine, which is an antidepressant she already had a prescription for, and dextroamphetamine. And when taken in combination with the antidepressant, it can cause hallucinations, paranoia — similar symptoms to a psychotic break. The dextroamphetamine must have been the drug that dr. Montague gave her to finally put her over the edge. Amazing. So how do we prove it? Drew. What do you want, cyrus? I wanted to warn you. Warn me? About — about what? The warden’s on a tear. Why? Rumors are circulating that she’s up for a big job. She can’t have anything happen that makes her look bad or incompetent. I’m hearing she’s putting the place on lockdown to make sure there are no incidents and nothing goes wrong. Lockdown? That’s go– that’s gonna put everybody on edge. Well, just keep your head down. Stay invisible. Yes, we were talking about you. About what? About how it seems like you have grown up overnight. You know who you remind me of at your age? Who? Lulu. Do you really think I’m like my mom? Oh, yeah. I know you adore your dad. But don’t forget, you’re a spencer, too. Oh, um, if you excuse me. Hey. Well? I just came from a chat with robert scorpio. Okay. I could really use some good news. He gave me a little insight as to why judge kim might have handed such a harsh sentence down to drew and what we can do about it. You miss your mom. Every day. I-I promised her I’d take care of rocco and not to worry about us and just to get better. But it still makes me sad she’s still in a coma. I know. But I always feel better when I’m with my papa.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Guess what? What? He says we’re gonna to be together full-time. Great. Great. And anna? Yeah. That’s okay.

[ Laughs ] Oh, it’s the most perfect present. Thank you so much. Ah! What inspired you to do that? Well, you lost all that stuff in the fire. In fact, you were more upset about losing those pictures than you were about losing the house. I know. You can replace the house. Eh, I called in a few favors. I got everyone to go back through phones, albums, computers, anything — go back as far as you like and then go back further.

[ Laughs ] Ah, you are brilliant. When you’re right, you’re right.

[ Laughs ] This means the world to me. And you mean the world to me. I’m so glad that you like it. I love it. I’m probably gonna look at it, like, a couple of thousand times tonight [Laughs] And maybe some more in the morning.

[ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

brook lynn. Ugh. Why haven’t you been returning my phone calls? I have nothing to say to you. What would I say to a family member who blackmailed me and caused me to lose my job? What are you doing, grandma? Oh, I’m doing my homework, james. Homework? Aren’t you too old to be in school?

[ Laughs ] Who told you that? James, a person is never too old to learn. You know, life is like one long journey. There’s always something you can pick up along the way. Like when cody taught me how to tie knots? Look at my slip knot.

[ Chuckles ] Wow! You did this? And cody taught you how to do it? Yeah, when I was at kelly’s with oma. That cody — he’s full of surprises. You know, that wasn’t an empty offer, sasha. You know, we — we turn ourselves in or we get caught, you could end up back in ferncliff. Uh, we can just avoid all that. We could just vanish. And how will that actually work, cody? Gregory, hi. Hi. Everything okay? Yeah. Nothing to worry about. I-I know it’s late, but I was hoping to catch dr. Bronson. Do you know if he’s still here? Let me check.

What’s going on?

I don’t think dr. Bronson

is the right doctor

for your dad. Finn. Hey, look who’s here. Hello, son. Hey, dad. He’s here to see dr. Bronson.

[ Door slams ] Hi. Uh, gabe let me in. Hi. Uh, and what do I owe the pleasure? Your offer of protection — does it still stand? Nina: Charlotte.

[ Knock on door ] Nina. Charlotte. Look who I found.

What’s going on, anna? I thought you didn’t want protection. I just came from the metro court, where someone gained access to my suite. They trashed the room, destroyed my clothes, left me a message on the mirror in lipstick. What kind of message? “You think you got away with it — you didn’T. You think you’re safe — you’re not.” So I guess I’m the target of a personal vendetta. Someone’s toying with me, trying to unsettle me, maybe throw me off my game. Sounds to me like somebody’s trying to get under your skin. They’re succeeding.

[ Voice breaking ] I just feel like the walls are closing in on me, you know? Okay, look, someone burning down my house, that’s — that’s a violation, but it seems… it’s exterior, you know? It’s — it’s kerosene and a match. This is personal. They came into my space, and they touched my things. And I don’t think it’s the first time, because we came back to the suite the other day, and my mail had been moved from one place to another. I know that sounds crazy. It’s a small thing, but I noticed it. It is a hotel. You know, there’s housekeeping. They don’t come every day. Whoever this is, they’ve been there before. No, what scares me is I don’t know how many times. Nina, it’s so good to see you. What are you doing? It’s so good to see you. Oh, my goodness. What brings you by here? There was an incident at our hotel suite. The police are there. Yes, I know. The front desk — they called me to tell me what was going on. I am so sorry that you showed up with all of this going on. It’s okay.

[ Chuckles ] So, what’s the occasion? What brings you here? I just wanted to see papa. I’m glad you did. What did you do today? Where have you been? I was with jake. It was nothing serious, but I thought I should check in with the doctor. Yeah, no, I’m — I’m glad you did. Matter of fact, there was — there was something I wanted to talk to you about. Y-you mind if we have a little conversation before you meet with dr. Bronson? Eh, not at all. Would you check and see if dr. Bronson is available and let me know? Absolutely. So, what’s on your mind, son? I couldn’t help but notice elizabeth seemed to be trying to signal you. I can’t wait to hear what this is about. It’s about how you’re managing your als treatment. That’s w hat we’re doing now?We’re throwing temper tantrums? You know, even toddlers outgrow that phase. In a grown woman — laughable. And by the way, I didn’t do anything to lucy coe she wouldn’t have happily done to me first. Tracy, this isn’t about you and lucy. This is about you and me. We’re supposed to be family. You used me. You — you blackmailed me. You preyed on me where I’m most vulnerable — my love for chase, my fear of losing him, my insecurity about my past with him. Everything I did was for your own good.

[ Laughs ] Yeah? How exactly is me losing my job good for me? He also taught me this. Wow. What do you call that one? It’s an exploding clove hitch. But cody says you have to be careful. If you pull the wrong end the wrong way, the whole knot will just unravel. Like that. Wow! Wow! Looks like you’re on your way to becoming a sailor. That would be super cool. Hey, grandpa, can we go to the stables? Cody promised he’d let me feed the horses. Oh, he, uh — he did, did he? Yeah. We could go tomorrow after school. Well, james, I’m afraid we can’T. Uh, cody’s gonna be away for a while. Where did he go?

[ Sighs ] I wish I knew. You say the word, we’re gone. I’ll work out the details. Cody, we have a car and some cash thanks to sam, but we have no phones, no ids, no internet access. And we’re both escaped mental patients who are considered dangerous. I stabbed you, and you attacked and tied up dr. Montague. I wish I’d done a lot worse to him. Might still yet. No, cody. You cannot get any deeper into this mess. You’ve already thrown your whole life off track for me. Don’t — don’t paint me as some kind of hero, sasha. All right? Things wouldn’t have gotten this bad if I’d just been honest from the start. How were you dishonest?

When cody comes back,we’ll go feed the horses, okay? Okay. All right. What’s your homework, grandma? Oh, I’m learning about the hospital and all the rules and the procedures. I want to learn everything I can so I can help the people in there. You mean like the doctors and nurses? Well, no, not exactly. But I do want to help the patients. Help them do what? Well, like making sure they understand what the doctor says, or if they need help finding their way around the hospital, or just making sure that they’re happy and comfortable and if they need someone to talk to. I think being a doctor would be better. Oh, yeah? So you want to be a doctor when you grow up? No, I want to be a policeman like daddy and grandpa. Oh. Nice.

[ Doorbell rings ] Are you expecting someone? No. Mnh-mnh. That’s nice. Surprise! Sasha, I’ve — I’ve known about gladys’ money troubles for months now. She was neck-deep in the red to selina wu. I, um… I knew that she sold brando’s garage behind your back to settle that debt. What? Wait. You knew? Yeah. And I-I should have told you the whole truth back then. Why didn’t you? The reason that I-I told myself was because you were so dependent on gladys that I didn’t want to cause you any more pain. But if you want to know the real reason, the reason that I really don’t even want to admit out loud… I do.

[ Sighs ] The real reason was I didn’t want to jeopardize my arrangement with selina. She put me in that game to… to steer it, to — to make sure that the players that she wanted would win. And if she wanted someone to lose, my job was to take him out fast or… let them just keep — keep playing and running up a bigger debt. I did it — I did it just for the extra cash. Stable hands don’t exactly make bank, you know? But soon enough, selina made it clear that I didn’t have the option to quit or to talk. So I just… kept quiet. Even long after I knew that gladys was playing you. I’ll just give you a call back if we do end up needing to see dr. Bronson. Thanks, amy. This is your private business, dad. And the way you choose to manage your disease, it’s — it’s entirely up to you. Finn, it’s become increasingly clear to me that nobody manages als. I’ve stopped driving, and all too soon, I’ll stop walking, and then I’ll stop eating and then talking. And finally, I’ll stop breathing. But your quality of life between now and then, the way you handle your symptoms, the way you work around your limitations — you have options, dad, options… I don’t think you even know about. I feel like it’s a warning. Somebody just wants to leave me with absolutely nothing. They destroy my house and then… the new clothes that I bought. Did you check the hotel surveillance? ‘Cause they have to have a recording of the halls, the elevators, and the lobby. That’s the thing. Valentin went straight to security, but there’s nothing. What do you mean, nothing? The footage is missing. Is that what valentin told you? Jake and I scootered over to the promenade at the court’s lane waterfront. Since I was close, I thought I’d visit papa. Do you guys want to see something cool?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Jake almost fell into the fountain. And in this one, I dared him to eat all the boba from the tea. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] Wait, I’m not interrupting your work, am I? Oh, no, no. I was just, uh — I was doing a little research. I want — I want to actually put it out of my head, and I’m hoping never to see it again. Where are you going?

You never struck me as the kind of guy to rewrite history, cody. I’ve been known to when it works to my own advantage. And what’s the advantage of making yourself look bad? That’s not how I remember things at all. From what I remember, you were always warning me about gladys. You told me not to trust her, and I refused to listen. That’s because I never told you the whole truth. I-I knew that gladys was betting way more than she could afford. I figured she was dipping into those accounts that she was supposedly managing for you. Really, she was just managing them for herself. But I didn’t want to cross selina, so I just kept my mouth shut and covered my own ass until it was almost too late. What made you change your mind? Lucy, scott, come on in. -Thank you. -Yeah, thank you. Lucy, uh, no pine valley cops out there waiting in the bushes for you, are there? Mac! No. Very funny. Just us gamesters for you. Oh, come on in. It’s good to see you both. But what brings you here? Well, lucy’s, um — she’s a little down in the dumps, so I-I thought maybe I’d bring a little hooch and maybe, you know, game night might cheer her up. Ooh, I love games. What are we playing? Sorry, charlie. Only for adults. I am not charlie. Oh, you wouldn’t like these games. How about we go read a story? It’s a little bit after your bedtime anyway. Okay. Okay. Well, go tell everybody good night. Good night, grandpa and lucy and charlie.

[ Laughter ] Good night, champ. Night. Well, come on in. Have a seat. Brother, what’s with kids today? Thanks. They don’t know that expression, “sorry, charlie”? Geez. Come on. Nobody under 40 knows “sorry, charlie.” I bet you listened to 8-track tapes as you drove over. Yeah, I did. I was listening to — lucy, I gather we’re here, um, to cheer you up over your deception lawsuit. Shh! No. Quiet. Zip it. I don’t want that mojo out there, okay? Really. Come on. I just want to have laughter and fun with friends and play some games, really. Although that prospect seems a little dismal because my life is crumbling around me. Oh, hey, lucy, everything’s gonna be all right, I-I promise you. Just — just try — hey. Here, pick a card. Would you stop? Those are just words right now, okay?

[ Sighs ] Okay. Look. Elise, she’s a top-notch attorney. She’s on the case, okay? You have nothing to worry about. You’re supposed to, you know, unwind a little. Ooh, I think I might have some gummies in my pocket. But, you know, lucy, for crying out loud, there’s nothing you can do about it anyways. Uh, yeah, aside from killing tracy quartermaine. Yeah, well, you’re gonna have to get in line. Let’s hear it. How is dragging me into corporate espionage against my friends for my own good? I never should have trusted you. Of course you should trust me. Everything I did was for you. What? You should be thanking me, not sulking. You know what, tracy? You’re right. I should be thanking you. Look, I know you don’t trust valentin, but we were together when we discovered the mess in the suite. Like, we’d just come from the hotel restaurant, and so we were together the whole time. Yeah. Okay. But that doesn’t prove his — his innocence, because he could have, you know, excused himself to make a phone call, went to his room and — or paid somebody to do it. No, I… I — I don’t think so. Okay. I don’T. I mean…

[ Sighs ] I am aware of his shortcomings, as are you. Mm-hmm. But that hasn’t stopped you from taking advantage of his assistance in business, has it? Absolutely. But we do have to thank, uh, valentin for bringing pikeman into our lives. Nina, why are you in this office? Aren’t you usually on the fifth floor? Uh, charlotte, I think, um, it’s getting a little late to head back to dante and sam’S. Maybe you could spend the night at nina’S. That’s a — that’s a great idea. Uh, yes, I would love that. It could be a girls-only sleepover, and we could catch up. I have missed you so much, charlotte. I would love that. It’ll be like that time we had the blackout and camped out in the living room.

[ Laughs ] Oh, do you remember that? Charlotte was saying all those ghost stories she heard at lila’s kids camp. Until papa got scared. No, I remember being worried you were gonna get scared.

[ Laughs ] Papa, sometimes I don’t think you know me very well. Okay, so I will just shut this down and I’ll grab my stuff and I’ll meet you downstairs in the lobby. Deal. Get it off the server.

[ Door closes ]

So, what are theseother options, finn? Treatment options? No, more along the lines of something a little more holistic, and to that end, I thought we might check out some other neurologists. Why? Is something wrong with dr. Bronson? No. No, not at — not at all. He’s, uh — he’s highly respected and has made significant contributions to research, but… well, uh… I-I think elizabeth articulated this better than I ever could. Dr. Bronson seems to concentrate on treating general symptoms, not focusing so much on the — on the patient, you. Right? And I-I really think you deserve a doctor that will help you live life to the fullest, not one that’s just predicting when everything is gonna fail. So is this what all the looks between you and elizabeth were about? No.Did — did she put you up to this? No. No, not — not at all. No. No? Unh-unh. What if I ask her directly? Oh! Uh… elizabeth, I understand you have reservations about my doctor? Uh, um… dad, we, uh — we both do, and — and I am grateful to elizabeth for raising the question. Gregory, I am so sorry for overstepping. We both just think there’s a better neurologist out there for you, and I’d like your permission to go find them. Lucy: I have a great idea. I lure tracy into the quartermaine crypt with that stinky, smelly cheese she likes, right? Then I seal her in completely — that rat no one will miss — and then she’s already buried. Lucy, don’t talk that way. Thank you. Shh, mac, okay? All right, I think tracy’s too clever for that. We might be better off putting something in her drink. Yes! Well, she — she does like her cognac. Uh, yeah, but I have to see her face when I do it. Uh, hello? No one is offing anyone. Police commissioner, remember? Uh, yeah, but you’re being a very old fuddy-duddy. Mm-hmm. You want to keep it down out here? Bailey lou and james are asleep. Oh, yes. I have kids. Thanks, mom. Sorry. And whatever you’re talking about is way too gruesome for game night. You should be ashamed of yourself, fantasizing about ending someone’s life. Excuse me, but you know that tracy quartermaine has been a thorn in my side my entire life, almost. Yeah, and she cost me a close friend and my business. I might not even be able to keep this house if deception goes under. You are two of the most brilliant, tenacious, inventive women I know. If the worst happens, you will pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and you will find yourself another successful endeavor. Mom, you can’t possibly think it’s that easy. Nothing in life is that easy, maxie. Yeah, and it wasn’t easy the first time we did it. We put deception on the map, and the deceptor was our baby. And now tracy is threatening to let all of it go down the drain unless we give her 75% of our company. Yeah, and I did get a much better offer out of her. But, you know, that smug look on tracy’s face was — I’m sorry. W-what? You got a better offer? When were you gonna tell me this? That was fast. You’re thanking me? Yes, tracy. You’re right. You know, moving in with chase has provided me with an entirely new perspective on everything. You blackmailed me into going back to deception, and I was obligated to lucy and sasha and especially maxie. I would have done everything in my power to keep deception afloat. But now, because of your spiteful lawsuit, I have been released from that obligation. So now I am free to pursue my number-one passion full-time. I’m going back to music. Absolutely not. Music was your father’s downfall. I will not let that happen to you. Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do to stop me? You have no more blackmail leverage on me. Chase knows everything, and he fully supports me. That’s all that matters to me. Listen to me. No, tracy. I am done listening to you. You know, I hope deception was worth it because it just cost you your granddaughter. At the pool, when I felt the knife and I… turned to see you, I saw in your eyes something terrible. That wasn’t you, sasha. I knew that something else had taken control. There’s no way you would have stabbed me unless you weren’t in your right mind. And I knew that you couldn’t have lost your mind so fast or so completely unless someone else had drugged you. I knew in my gut you had been set up, and I knew I had to do something about it. Sasha, there are a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t at least

try to help you. Thank you, cody. You did more than you know. Don’t thank me yet. We’re not out of the woods.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you got us this far. And, honestly, I am… so thankful for the rescue. But I’m even more thankful that you believed in me. This is gonna be so much fun.

[ Chuckles ] I just hope the power stays on. Oh, well, don’t you worry. I have plenty of candles. And I have a whole new batch of ghost stories. Okay. So, uh, why don’t i get you settled in the guest room, okay? I’ll be right in. Okay. Anna, it’s valentin. I just want to give you a heads up that I’ve taken charlotte to stay at nina’s for the night.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Valentin? Yeah. Should have taken the call. Could be great news. I’ll talk to him later. There’s something else I want to address with you. I’m all ears. The shooting at the pool. Mm-hmm. The bullets we dodged. Mm-hmm. I think they were meant for you, not me. Oh? Yeah. So these recent events, right — the burning of my house, the message on my mirror — those are aimed at me, specifically at me. Right? Right. So now, this shooting at the pool — that is a public attack. There’s a mismatch in psychological profiles, which leads me to believe that we are dealing with two distinct and conflicting motives. Two — two different perpetrators. That’s what I think, because the dichotomy of the patterns — that’s what convinces me. Okay, so are you telling me… that the shooting was a warning from pikeman? And possibly the wsb.

and you turned it down. Did — did you even think about telling me they made you that offer? Yeah, but — but I would have had to surrender my 1% of elq. Oh! O-okay. Maxie, she can’t do that! This is like a smorgasbord for lucy. Nobody asked for your opinion, scott. And you firing perfectly good attorneys, turning down secret deals, making choices all by yourself? You should be running these things past maxie, lucy. You’re partners. Well, not everything, mac. I mean, look at lucy. She’s got nothing going on. That is not helping. Shush. Please! Listen, this is separate. This is totally separate. But it’s totally fine if I, I don’t know, lose my house? No! Can we just take this down a notch, please? I have put everything I have on the line for deception. And — and by the way, didn’t you get that 1% from alan? Don’t you say alan. You know I hate that. Now you sound like tracy quartermaine. Do I really? I don’t think so. This is getting us nowhere. Hey! This game is really loud. Could you play something else? Thank you both for thinking about this and, uh, looking out for me. Elizabeth, you could never overstep. I hereby give you my permission to find a different neurologist. I’ll see whoever you recommend, finn.

[ Sighs ] Thank you, dad. I mean, after all, you are a highly respected diagnostician who has made significant contributions to research. So how could I not trust your judgment? Exactly. Yeah, listen, I, for one, am grateful. No, I’m the one who’s grateful to you both for your perspectives and for speaking up.

[ Pager beeps ] Oh, excuse me. Uh, sorry, I have to go authorize the release of some labs. All right? I’ll be right back, dad. A new doctor may not make much of a difference, but if it helps finn, gives him a sense of control, then I’m all for it. Mostly, I am grateful to you for supporting him. I’m so glad he has you in his life. Finn. Ah, can’t tell. A-are you the cat or the canary? Don’t ask. Canary. I need a level 5 backgammon game to forget about this one. Oh, I need a win. Do you? Well, you know, you might be disappointed. I’ve picked up a few new tricks. No kidding? Mm-hmm. Have you been bingeing videos of “double six” king kyle? Hmm, now that you mention it, but don’t knock it, he’s got some excellent strategies. What’s your father doing here so late? Guess that means we’re not disappearing. Let’s see what sam and dante come up with first. All right, well, in that case, I say we call it a night. Let’s rest up for whatever comes next. You take the bed. And where do you plan to sleep? I’m actually getting pretty fond of my chair here. She’s a lot nicer than she looks. No way! We’re gonna have to come up with a different plan tonight. Anna, are you trying to tell me that there’s a link between pikeman and the wsb? I think it’s possible. I wanted you to be fully informed so that you can just take into consideration all the possibilities that that represents. Thanks for the heads up. You have to be vigilant. We both do. I’m gonna — I’m gonna beef up my security. I’m gonna do the same for you, get you protection, the whole thing, and then you won’t even know they’re there. Oh, I’ll know. But thank you. You just gotta be careful, because whoever’s after you is not gonna stop any time soon. I just wish I knew what they wanted from me. I am sorry that I haven’t found us a house yet, one where we can all live. You and me. And anna. Yeah. You and me and anna. I hope it happens soon, papa. I miss you, and I want us to be together more than ever. I’ll see you in the morning. I love you. I love you, too, papa. Thank you for letting her stay the night. Oh, yeah, of course. I love having her here. I don’t want her near anna. I don’t — I don’t want her out of my sight. Yeah, I know. I know. There are a lot of questions. We know that she went into the suite, but there are no cameras inside the suite, so we don’t know exactly what happened. I don’t know how to begin to handle this. I am swimming. Okay. Okay. How about this? Why don’t you go — go back to anna, okay? But remember this — no matter what happens, I’m here for you. And I’m here for charlotte. It’s gonna be okay. I’ll see you in the morning. Okay.

My dad’s schedule is anyone’s guess. You’ll have to ask him. But if you’d like some cathartic backgammon tomorrow, just let me know. Maybe I’ll let you win.

[ Both laugh ] Good evening, tracy. You’re here awfully late. Ah, yes. For a very boring board meeting. And that was followed by my granddaughter insulting me. I could use a drink. Well, it’s probably not what you had in mind, but can I offer you a soda to lift your spirits? A-are we back to killing me with kindness again? It was just a thought. You’re welcome to decline. No. Far be it from me to respond to kindness with rudeness. I would be delighted to take you up on your offer. After you. Finn. Tracy. Dad.

[ Sighs ] You know, when I see my dad in his element like this, you know, all wit and charm, it seems like everything is normal. And then I think about what’s to come. You’re doing the best you can for him. That’s all that you can do. I wish I had the words to tell you how much it means to have you with me while I go through this. For you, tracy. Thank you. Ginger ale. Well, I’ll just pretend it’s a whiskey ginger.

[ Sighs ] Are you all right? Uh… no. No, actually, I’m not, tracy, and… it’s about time you knew. I’ve been diagnosed with als. Gregory, no. I… I don’t know what to say. Sorry, james. Come on. Let’s go back to bed. I’ll tuck you in. I’m right behind you. You know, lucy, I never thought you would be so selfish. Maxie, I —

[ Sighs ] Well… oh, hang on, lucy. Hang on a second. Wait a minute. Take it easy. Take it easy here. So much for our quiet night. Poor maxie. She’s lost so much in her life. I’d hate to see her lose this, too. She’s worked so hard. So has lucy. Is this like karma? Well, if karma was a thing, you’d be the queen of england. And you have always been my knight in… tarnished armor. You know, lucy, things are gonna work out. They always do. This isn’t right. We should switch. Cody?

[ Snores ]

[ Whispering ] Good night, cody. I’m not gonna be able to make it home tonight. What’s going on? Valentin asked me to take charlotte tonight because someone broke into anna’s suite. Yeah, that’s what anna said. She said he, um, went into the metro court to check the surveillance video, and it was missing. Now, I’m trying to figure out how someone got in there to remove the video. Yeah, it’s — it’s very unsettling that someone was able to bypass all the security measures at the metro court. Well, it must have been a professional or somebody with a lot of help. Anyway, I’m gonna miss you tonight. Sonny, I will miss you, too.

Have fun with charlotte. Good night. Good night.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

marshall: Hey, how’s it going? Alright. Good to see you.

[ Buzzes lips ] This is the slowest night we’ve had in months. Don’t I know it. Where is everybody?

[ Scoffs ] Not here. Hey. Don’t worry, n’neka. It’ll pick up. It has to.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Oh, god. Not what I was hoping for. Mom. Trina!

[ Door closes ] Oh, yay! [ Laughs ] Oh! Sweetheart, look who came to visit us. And I come bearing a gift to christen the new gaming system. Is that the new “sudden death”? It just released this thursday. Okay, well, you know what? We’ll play head-to-head mode right now. And three heads are better than two? You want to play? Of course I do.

[ Both laugh ] Okay. Thank you, sam, for these clothes. I feel almost human again. You’re welcome. And you, too, dante. No problem. Sasha: Your turn. No, uh, I’m — I’m alright. We can just wait. Actually, you stink, bro. Cody, you’re gonna feel so much better once you change. Alright, alright, alright. No need for an uprising. Come on, let’s get you in there. Yep. I’ll go. You’ve gotta change. You smell.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ] Boss, gabe just texted. The knockoff shoe shipment arrived on time, no problem. I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Hi. I just was wondering if you had an eta on the officers? Yeah, no, it’s not an emergency. I just want to start cleaning up, so, yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Gasps ] Um. Okay. I-I think they’re here. Thank you. Bye. Hello? Charlotte? Hello, anna. Is papa here? Stop there. Play it back a little. Freeze it. Oh, my god. Valentin, it can’t be. Play it through. I need to see what happens. W-well, you know what happens. I need to see it.

[ Both gasp ]

marshall, n’neka, what a lovely night it is. Mm. And didn’t you turn yourself out for it. Selina, you look stunning. Thank you, n’neka. So do you. But, then, you always do. This is my good friend, zion. Good evening. N’neka garland. Marshall ashford. Selina. He’s watching the club for his son, curtis. What are you two having to drink? Champagne? Excellent call.

[ Chuckles ] One bottle of champagne for miss wu. Oh, no. Just two glasses. We won’t be staying. We’re only here for a quick drink, out of loyalty to curtis. We’re headed to the new club, intrigue, downtown.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, do they have gambling there? Not that I know of. But it’s always jam-packed.

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Laughs ] Thank you for bringing the game over. You know I’m definitely down to play, but…why don’t you tell me why you really came over? Because you just moved back into your dorm, and I know you’re not homesick already. I don’t have to be homesick to come home. I just wanted to hang out with you and mom.

[ Video game noises playing ] Alright. Who’s winning? Oh, mom, we — [Laughs] The game just finished loading. We haven’t even started yet. Okay. Alright. I don’t know if you guys noticed, but video games aren’t really my thing. Understatement. Especially “sudden death.”

[ Laughs ] But I did see on here that they have virtual tours where you can check out castles in europe. Maybe we could try that. Yeah. Wow, mom, that sounds really amazing, but, um, we’re trying to get all dirty harry on the zombies with this game. Of course. As long as you guys are having fun. Uh, okay, so before we get started, how about I get us some iced tea? Mom? Curtis? Mmm. Yes. Yes. The caffeine will give me adrenaline to play this game. Exactly. Okay. I’ll be right back.

[ Zombies growling

on television ] Isn’t it so sweet of trina to come by? You know why she came by, don’t you? What do you mean? To check on us, and I don’t mind. You know, you raised a very special young woman. The charges have been dropped against me. But that raid, my arrest — that’s just the beginning. The feds are going to be watching every move I make. They’re going to be tracking whoever I associate with. You know what I’m saying? Live like I’m under a microscope, got it. They’ve been trying to take me down for years, but never for nsa violations. This is on a whole other level. It’s just going to get more complicated. And pikeman isn’t taking “no” for an answer. Alright. Uh, when you come in, it’s going to be a bit of a shock, but just don’t touch anything, okay? What happened here? Where’s papa? It looks like, um, we had a break-in, and your father’s gone to hotel security. What are you doing here? I took a rideshare. By yourself? I’m 15. Yeah, I know. But even so, do dante and sam know you’re here? They’re out somewhere. It’s not a big deal. I just needed to see my father. Valentine: Play it again. Re-watching it’s not going to change what’s there. Play it again. There might be something that I missed, something that makes a difference. Play it again.

[ Both sigh ] What are you going to do? Nothing, yet.

[ Sighs ] Valentin, I, uh — I can’t just ignore this. No, I know you can’t, and I can’t, either. But this is a volatile situation. Can you let me handle this?

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hang on. Anna? Charlotte’s here. Charlotte? Yeah, she — she wants to see you. I’ll be right there.

[ Sighs ] I gotta go. Please don’t show this to anyone else.

[ Door closes ] Okay. You were all right. I’m very happy to be out of that creep’s clothes. Mm-hmm. Look what I found. It was in one of montague’s pockets. I’m gonna have to have these analyzed. Yeah, I’m guessing he wasn’t planning on taking those pills himself. Montague knew he crossed a line, and you were his only witness — a loose end. What are you saying, sam? Do you think dr. Montague was going to slip me an overdose? He had those pills on him when he found us in your room. You think he was going to kill me?

Hey, it’s n’neka. I’m at the club. We’re going to need some help down here asap. Thank you, mr. Ashford, for an enchanting evening. It’s a shame there were so few people here to enjoy it. It’ll pick up later, I’m sure. Really? From what I’ve been told, it hasn’t been picking up much this past week. If you truly were loyal to your son, you’d reconsider. Let me take the savoy off your hands before it’s worthless.

[ Chuckles ] Ms. Wu…

[ Laughs ] Not a chance. You’ll see. We’ll survive and thrive.

[ Breathes deeply ] I wouldn’t be too sure. The club doesn’t have the same draw without your son’s charm — something curtis obviously got from his mother.

[ Scoffs ] You know nothing about my family, lady… or loyalty… or [Chuckles] Even good champagne. So why don’t you go on over to that club you’re so excited about and see if that’s for sale?

[ Breathes sharply ] Everything okay here? Mr. Ashford’s son suffered a great tragedy. Marshall is obviously traumatized by it. It’s best we leave him to his misery. But thank you for the champagne.

[ Laughs ] Bye. Oh. Trina, zombie attack, 6:00. I see it. I see it, curtis. Don’t worry. I got it. Yeah? How’d that work out last time?

[ Laughs ] Uh, that was one time. And wasn’t I the one to find the digitalis for the spray-gun? You’re welcome, by the way. Oh, oh, trina. Watch out. Watch out. It’s right behind you. Right behind you. No, no, no, mom. That — that’s — that’s the zombie ghost that comes out to collect the bodies when you neutralize them. Of course it is. Ooh, ooh, ooh! To your left. To your left. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Mm, take that. There he is. There he is. Ah, look. Up. Watch this. Watch this. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Nice shot. Mm. Good stuff. Mm! Trina and curtis: Crypt surge! Mm! Oh, damn, watch out. Okay, trina, assemble the spray-gun. I’m going to create a buffer. Uh, I-I can’T. I-I still need to get the wolfsbane. Keep the zombies out so that I can go to the greenhouse. Yep. Well, I have to step out for just a bit. Oh, we drive you away? Babe, is everything okay? No, no. Everything is fine. I just have to help out a friend. Oh, well, sorry if we left you on the sidelines.

[ Chuckling ] No, no, honey, don’t worry about me. Just keep enjoying playing your video game. Neutralize those zombies.

[ Laughter ] I’ll be back as soon as I can.

[ Door closes ] Mom’s the best. Mm. But she is awful at video games.

[ Laughs ] Well, you inherited your gaming gene from me. I know that’s right.

[ Video game noises playing ] Mm. Got him.

[ Door opens ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] Olivia. What are you doing in my office? I was, uh, looking at the w-wedding bookings. I-I’m thinking about changing the date of my wedding. Oh. And I-I just didn’t want to rifle around looking for that binder that we have, so I was just checking to see what was confirmed. Oh, well, the binder is right over here, same as ever. Oh, there it is.

[ Laughs ] You take your time with that. We’re just — we’re just heading out. Okay. Hey, eddie. I, uh, heard from olivia that you had a great recording session. Yeah, no, the studio was great. Be sure to thank sonny for hooking us up. I will do that, yeah. He was happy to help you out. Well, like I said, uh, take your time. Just lock up when you leave. Yeah, thanks. Okay? Mm-hmm. Enjoy. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ] I’m so sorry, charlotte. I mean, I would take you to the restaurant and buy you a hot chocolate or something, but I’ve got to stay here and wait for the officers. Anna, I’m not a kid anymore. You don’t have to keep me amused. No, my bad. You’re almost an adult. Anna, thank you for calling me. Charlotte, what are you doing here? I just wanted to see you. I… didn’t realize you’d be busy.

[ Knock on door ] Pcpd. We received a report of a break-in. We can’t say that montague wanted to kill you, but maybe he wanted to keep you unstable enough to the point where he could move you somewhere else and…your recovery was virtually impossible. Yeah, but [Scoffs] I mean, the fact that montague was bringing the pills into ferncliff points to something extreme, right? You know, doctors don’t dispense medication from their pockets. I mean, this shows that he had some kind of plan. Yeah, but what exactly? And how do we prove it? Well, this all started after I petitioned to end gladys’s guardianship, and the court assigned dr. Montague to evaluate me. A-and, yes, that — that might be a coincidence, but we know that gladys and montague know each other from the poker game at the savoy. And — and granted, you know, montague’s debt isn’t as deep as gladys’, but…every gambler needs a steady cash flow. Okay, so gladys ropes in montague to make sasha appear to be unfit to the courts, but he pushes it too far, and you wind up stabbing cody and get sent to ferncliff. But then montague’s got another problem. What happens if you regain enough clarity to the point where you can link your breakdown to the pills that he was giving you? He’s got to cover his tracks. He’s got to make you not just look insane, but hopelessly addicted. Cody: So then he — I mean, he’s at least guilty of — of — of what — covert drugging? Like, isn’t — wouldn’t that be considered poisoning? Well, it’s criminal malpractice and attempted murder. But again, guys… how do we prove it?

[ Knock on door ] Boss? Mr. Hume. Come on in. Have a seat. Dex, can you stay? You don’t mind if he stays, right, roman? No. Whatever you like. Okay. Congratulations are in order, mr. Corinthos. We were all very pleased to hear about the charges being dropped. Really? Of course. Pikeman regrets any trouble you’ve faced and, uh… we’d like to offer you this as an apology. Is this an apology or a down payment on another deal? The room was like this when we got here. As far as I can tell, nothing is missing. My tablet and my computer — they’re all here, untouched. We can send forensics if you’d like. Yeah. Valentin: Well, this is a hotel room. Forensics is going to find a thousand different fingerprints from a thousand different guests. How helpful is that going to be? It might not yield much. We can pursue this if you’d like, anna, but it looks like a case of malicious mischief to me. Do you want to file a complaint, start an investigation? Mnh. No! Ha-ha! Score. Sorry, my friend. You just got slimed. No fair. I was the one who got the wolfsbane.

[ Laughs ] You ready for the next level? Definitely.

[ Sighs lightly ] So, curtis, um, marshall told me that you went to the club the other day. I did. He said that n’neka and the whole staff was really excited to see you come back. Oh, well , I’m not sureI would consider it being back. But it’s your club. Don’t you want to get into the swing of things again? Trina, a lot’s happened. Well, it’s obvious. Yeah, I mean, it was good to get out of the house and… it’s just, you know, going back opened my eyes to a lot — some good and some that’s just, well… hard to admit. Hey. How’s it going? Uh, slower than my last relationship.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, well, I can see that. Ugh. Portia. What brings you down here? Oh! Where’s curtis? Curtis and trina are at the house in their video game world, and it was too loud for me.

[ Chuckles ] So I decided to get some air, and, um, you know, I ended up here. Don’t you have an early start for work tomorrow? I do. I do. But my head is pretty full of all the dead zombies. I thought I would be here with you two in the land of the living. Well… I’m glad you’re here.

[ Chuckles ] Every living body counts tonight.

[ Chuckles ] Right. So, what can I get you?

[ Light music playing ] Wow. Ghost town. Yeah. What happened to this place? Last time I was here, it was hopping. According to the authorities,montague is the victim here. He was beaten and tied up. Montague had a pocket full of pills he was going to use to O.D. Me. I understand that, but we have no proof. These could have come from anywhere. And right now, it’s just our word against his. And we are escaped mental patients. Well, at least sasha is either an escapee or a kidnapping victim. You, on the other hand, are a felon, wanted for assault and kidnapping. Cody did not kidnap me. He rescued me! Look, we have to stop this before it gets any worse. We can turn ourselves in and tell the truth.

So pikeman wants another go-round? Absolutely. Wants me to move, you know, another shipment? Most definitely. Yeah. And this is a peace offering. Compensation for your trouble. Dex, close the briefcase. Give it back to him. Tell your bosses no deal. When I was in custody, I got a lot of questions about pikeman, so they know what’s going on. Has nothing to do with my people ’cause they didn’t do any talking, so that means it’s on your side, and that’s a problem. Nobody in pikeman would be that careless. You can guarantee that? I didn’t think so. It’s a big organization. So here’s the deal. I want you to find the leak. Until then, until you can assure me it’s plugged, there’s no deal. ‘Cause I am not going to let the feds use pikeman to get me. Turning yourselves in — it’s not as simple as it sounds. You need proof to back up your story, and right now, we don’t have that. Dr. Montague injected me several times with drugs. Wouldn’t the hospital have some sort of record of that? Yeah, I doubt, montague went through the proper channels for that, sasha. Wait a minute. What about the medication that he gave you before you went to ferncliff? Do you have the prescription that he wrote? He never gave me a prescription. He — he just handed me the pills. Ohh! I can’t believe I didn’t question that. Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Don’t you dare blame yourself for that, alright? You were betrayed by the people you trusted. In no way is that your fault. But you risked everything to save me, cody. And now you’re the one facing charges. How do we prove that you’re innocent? We might have something going for us. So, mac is the commissioner, and I think he’s going to see cody’s innocence. So mac really is your father? I can’t imagine how hard it must be to go back to the savoy. But you did it. I’m not going to lie. It was tiring, but, I’m, you know, getting stronger every day. Well, marshall told me that you were thinking about selling the savoy?

[ Sighs ] He did, did he? Well, let me tell you, it’s nothing you need to worry your pretty little head about. But it was your dream. Well, yeah. The savoy is a special place, you know? It’s like a home away from home in all the best ways. Just imagine throwing a party every night — good food, good music, and even better company. Walking from table to table, fraternizing with people I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Yeah, it was amazing. Was? Well, trina, sadly, sometimes in life, dreams can change. And I can’t imagine that same party under this current situation. But you are the club. What’s going to happen to it? Yeah. Uh…

[ Chuckles ] Let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about you. Curtis! Well, no. Don’t get all stella on me now. I’m your dad. I want to hear about you. You just started school. You moved into the dorms. What are you looking forward to this year? And I do want to remind you, all work and no play — don’t be that, okay? Have fun sometimes, you know. Well, it’s funny that you mention that, um, because actually…

[ Sighs ] …There is something that I-I am looking forward to that has nothing to do with school. Oh? So I’m — I’m planning on taking a trip to new york for the weekend. With spencer. Really? Okay. That’s something I’m surprised your mom didn’t tell me. Well, I haven’t told her yet. Yet. But you do plan on telling her. I thought I should wait until it gets closer to the trip. Trina, trina. You know how she feels about spencer. Oh, I definitely do. Yeah, I do. Okay, well, uh… the most important thing is, um, how you feel about him. And that is…? I think I’m in love with him. Do you think he feels the same way? He hasn’t said. And you? Have you? No. Why? Good to see you. Welcome. Hey. Well, n’neka, besides it being dead in here, what’s the emergency? Oh, selina wu. She wa s in here parading aroundtonight with some trophy date, and she and marshall had a face-off. Wait. Whoa, whoa. What kind of face-off? Well, I didn’t hear all of it, but voices were definitely raised, and marshall barely held it back. Yeah, but what set him off? There was tension the moment ms. Wu walked in. But when I came back from leaving you the message, marshall was basically kicking her out, saying she should go buy some other club downtown. Do you think she’s trying to get her hands on this place? I think so. I overheard marshall talking to curtis about it, so… well, I don’t think curtis’s father should be pushing her. Ms. Wu is not someone to be toyed with. No, I know exactly who she is. And you did the absolute right thing by calling me.

[ Sighs ] Ms. Wu is — she’s dangerous. I just don’t think that marshall realizes how dangerous she truly is. What were you recording? Oh, it was nothing, really. I was just demoing a new song. It’s only half done. Then why haven’t you finished? That’s what I keep asking him. Well, it’s easier said than done. Creating a song isn’t like writing a term paper. You can’t just power through to finish it.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I need to, uh, you know, wait for that spark of creativity to ignite.

[ Scatting ]

[ Laughter ] This man speaks the truth. Okay. Sometimes you got to tune into a melody. Alright. Exactly. The song came to me unexpectedly, but it was, um, just a little fuzzy. Like I almost could catch it, but not quite. So I just have to wait for the muse to visit me again.

[ Laughs ] The ghost of elvis presley, huh? Elvis, eh? Ah. If you need any clarinet, I’m there. Oh. I might just take you up on that, my friend. I’ve worked with a sax before, but I’ve never worked with a clarinet. Well, you know what they say. Once you go clarinet, you just never forget.

[ Laughter ] Alright. That was pretty bad. Yeah, that was bad. Hey, I got an idea. Why don’t you finish your song, debut it here at the club next week? It’s a challenge. Well, it might be a bit of a downer to play in a house this, uh, light. Uh, do you think, uh — mm. You think there’ll be more people here next week?

How would you like us to proceed? I-I-I want you to pursue the formal channels. You know, I-I — I want you to tell me what you uncover and keep me in the loop. Will do. Yeah. Now, this may seem like simple harassment, ms. Devane, but after the arson at your house, could these two incidents be related? I don’t know. I mean…

[ Police radio chatter ] Yeah. Maybe? I’m — I don’t know. I-I don’t know what answers you’re going to find in here or — I don’t know. We’ll keep you posted.

[ Clears throat ] Well, we’re not safe here. Yeah, obviously. Charlotte, can you get on the house phone? Ask the front desk to move us to a new suite. Sure, papa. God, I’m so sorry that she saw this. It’s probably quite scary for her.

[ Breathes deeply ] Were you able to access the security footage? Hume’s gone. He got in a range rover with new york plates and drove off. So tell me… what’s your take on what just happened here? That, uh — that’s above my pay grade, boss. You think I just hired you to open the doors and call me boss? You want something in life, you got to grab it. What are you doing here, anyway? Listen, I know you’re smart. You pay attention. You don’t think I see how your mind’s always spinning? Now, because you’re not the boss, you have access to people and places that I don’T. So now’s your chance to show me how you think, evaluate. So…you want to move up in my world? I got to be able to trust your judgment. So tell me what you see. Tonight’s a little slow. That’s putting it mildly. Hell, I wouldn’t want to play up there either with this crowd. But the one thing that’s missing tonight, the one thing that’s been missing every night, is my son curtis. You want a good promoter? Look no further. He’ll pack this place. We just need to give him something to promote. And I’m — I’m thinking the return of eddie maine — whoo! — That might be just the ticket.

[ Chuckles ] Look, y’all go ahead and think about that, alright? While I send over two drinks for you… and your beautiful date.

[ Laughs ] Maybe I-I’m not ready to say “I love you” first. Or…maybe I’m waiting for spencer to say it first. I-I don’t know. Are you having doubts about spencer? No doubts. I just — I just feel impatient and annoyed… and disappointed at times. He just does the stupidest things, but then he also does the sweetest things.

[ Breathes deeply ] I haven’t spent much time around spencer, but, um, I think you know, early on, I wasn’t a big fan.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah. But all that changed in greenland. I have great respect for the way he cared for you. And I also respect the way he lights up every time you’re in the room. But all that aside, are you sure you can count on him emotionally? Okay, now, see, that’s — that’s what’s hard. At first, I would say definitely not. But then, over time, I think… yes.

[ Sighs ] Well, honey, you and spencer come from two different worlds. What do you mean? Well, you’re responsible, you’re practical, and you’re grounded in the real world. Spencer comes from a crazy rich family. He doesn’t have to work a day in his life. Well, it’s not his fault that he was born rich. No, no, it’s not his fault. But I’ve learned this — people with too much free time and money tend to get into a lot of trouble.

“My beautiful date”? Marshall’s right about one thing. But do you think this is a date? Well…

[ Chuckles ] If it gets us free drinks, I don’t see why not. Here you go. Compliments of the savoy. Thank you. Thank you, n’neka. Thank you. So, um, what are we toasting to?

[ Sighs ] To marshall’s challenge. You finish the song — you come back here and sing it next week. Why not?

[ Chuckles ] I heard that ms. Wu was sniffing around — something about buying the club. She can sniff all she wants, portia. It’s not for sale. Curtis built this place from the ground up, and I am not going to let selina wu swoop in and take it. But spencer is –is not like that. Y-you should see him with ace. He’s amazing. Yeah. Your mom told me that ace is always going to be part of the equation.

[ Breathes deeply ] Are you sure you’re ready to take on a child at this point in your life? And how is spencer going to cope if esme decides to take ace and leave town? How are you dealing with esme after all the torture she put you through? I-I don’t know. There’s a lot that I don’t know. But I do know that we don’t know what the future holds. True that. Look at me. Think about epiphany. Sometimes you just — you’ve got to live in the moment. Well, what do you think, curtis? Is this my moment? My impression is that pikeman is a very efficient operation. They have legit government contracts, but they also obviously have a parallel operation going. Maybe it operates as a rogue offshoot. Hume seemed surprised when you suggested he consider someone on the inside, but as far as pikeman itself, it wouldn’t make sense for them to jeopardize everything to leak to the feds about their deal with you. And I agree with you. It wasn’t one of your men. Damn. Turn you on and you just go. Thanks for the insight. So here’s the thing — the feds busted me on false information, false information that I planted. The thing is — that I don’t know is the timing of — or the extent of the fbi investigation. Do they already know that we made a move for pikeman, or are they going by what we’ve already put out there? With all due respect, sir, I think the safest option is to cut ties with pikeman. Well, that’s the problem, isn’t it? Pikeman is not taking “no” for an answer. So what I did tonight was buy time. Now I have to figure out how to move forward. We can’t rely on mac’s goodwill to beat this, dante. You know, he still has to uphold the law. Hey, why don’t you give us, like, 24 hours and we can see what we can dig up? Right? Right? Yeah. Okay. We’ll go back to port charles. You guys should probably sit tight here. I mean, you do have to turn yourselves in at some point, but that’s not now. Sam: Yeah, and we’ll be in touch tomorrow. Thanks, sam. I really — I-I can’t thank you enough. Yeah, really. Thank you so much. No problem. I only did what I thought was right. Cody, I’m sorry — dante, look. Look, you, as always, are the rock and kept me on the straight and narrow. Thank you both for everything.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe what they’re willing to risk for us. Mm. For you, sasha. They believe in you. So do I. Well, I guess all we can do now is wait and see what they turn up. Well, we do have one other option. Which is…? You and I could just disappear. Did you talk to security? Was there anything on the tapes?

[ Charlotte speaking indistinctly ] There was nothing there. What? How is that possible? There’s cameras everywhere. Anna, the footage from this floor was missing. Okay. So…someone forged a key card to get in here, and — and then they wipe the surveillance tape? That was — so that they could ransack a room, destroy my clothes, and write an intimidating message on the mirror? Papa, the front desk wants to speak to you. Let me deal with that. You just take her back to dante. Okay. I’ll — I’ll call you when I’m on my way back. Thank you, darling. Thank you so much for doing that.

[ Door opens ] Yeah. Hello? Yeah. Let’s go, ma petite. Um, are you able to find us another suite? Thank you. No, no, that’s perfectly fine. Ready, papa? Oh, charlotte… what have you done?

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

GH logo

Recap written by Suzanne

Lucy visits Nina’s office to find out what’s going on with Sasha, so Nina fills her in about Cody and Sasha’s escape. When Lucy seems more concerned about the effect that will have on Deception, Nina gets disgusted and orders her out.

Elizabeth realizes, after talking to Stella, that a lot of Dr. Bronson’s patients are intimidated by him and not getting very personal care. Marshall visits Stella to get her to talk to Curtis, since he’s considering selling The Savoy to mobster Selina.

Alexis offers support to Finn about his father’s ALS. He’s frustrated that he can’t get more involved in his case, since he’s not his doctor. Alexis finds out that Gregory never told Chase about his disease. Elizabeth suggests to Finn that Dr. Bronson may not be giving Gregory the personal treatment that he needs. Finn agrees and intends to get more information, so he can help out his dad with options.

Esme is at the office, frustrated and upset by what she overheard Spencer and Alexis saying. Gregory comes in and asks if he can help. They have a nice chat, which lifts both of their spirits. Alexis returns, and Gregory stumbles. Alexis helps him cover up why he stumbled. Esme leaves. Alexis asks him why he didn’t tell Chase about his ALS. He didn’t want to give him bad news when Brook Lynn had just moved in. Gregory feels like he doesn’t have much time left.

Brook Lynn tells Chase she was fired by Maxie, and why. She beats herself up. She’s more angry at losing her friend than the job. Chase sympathizes. He doesn’t know how Tracy could treat her granddaughter that way.

Anna is upset about the message scrawled on her mirror. She jumps when Valentin comes in behind her. They’re both very upset about Anna’s suite being broken into. She’s really on edge. They argue about whether it was connected to the fire or not. They hug. He rushes over to Nina, to get her to find the security footage of the hallway outside the suite. They’re both shocked by what they find. Meanwhile, Anna has flashbacks to disturbing conversations she had with Dante and Valentin, as well as the shooting and the fire. She phones the police to have them come look at the site of the break-in.

Blair gives her ex-husband, Martin, a hard time about giving Lucy the details for The Deceptor, which came from her idea. Blair informs him that she sold the rights to The Deceptor to Tracy. Their conversation reveals that their marriage broke up because he caught her in bed (via a private eye) with David Vickers! (Nice “One Life to Live” shout-out!) Blair tells him that when Lucy loses her lawsuit, Martin needs to marry her, so that she can stop paying him alimony. Otherwise, she’ll make sure Lucy finds out that he stole her idea and got Lucy into all this trouble, and then she’ll not only break up with him but sue him. Martin finds Lucy just as she’s about to enter the dining room and stops her (from seeing Blair) with a big kiss, which she enjoys.

General Hospital Transcript

GH logo

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Nina: Gladys. The minute that you get this message, I want an update. You call me. Do you understand? I mean, you’re her guardian. The police must be telling you if there’s any updates on Sasha. Call me.

Lucy: That’s why I’m here. I need to know exactly what is going on with Sasha.

Blair: Hello, sweetheart. Well, aren’t you gonna be a gentleman and invite me to have a seat? Don’t mind if I do. Thank you.

Elizabeth: I hope all these patients know how lucky they are to have your help.

Stella: I’m the lucky one. At my age to have the most fulfilling job of my life… it’s pretty special.

Elizabeth: You know, 6 out of these 11 patients have the same doctor.

Stella: You always want the best doctor you can get. And sometimes, these complicated cases take the total focus of the doctors, and the patients can be a little intimidated by some of the doctors.

Elizabeth: You mean like not ask all the questions that they need answers to?

Stella: And that’s where I come in. Hopefully, I give them the answers they need. You can see that Dr. Bronson has to deal with all kinds of neurological complications and incurable conditions.

Elizabeth: Like ALS.

Gregory: Everything all right, Esme?

Esme: Uh, yes, yes. Um, I was just arranging some things for Alexis.

Gregory: [ Chuckling ] Oh, good luck with that. She has her own very random system of order. Do you need any of my help?

Esme: Uh, no, thank you, um… is there anything I can help you with, Professor Chase?

Gregory: Uh, Alexis left a message that she’d be here for a while. I was hoping to catch her. It’s — it’s late. Shouldn’t you be getting home?

Esme: Um, it’s actually why I was finding some more work to do. I don’t exactly want to go home yet.

Chase: Got your favorite. Brook Lynn. What is it?

Brook Lynn: I got fired.

Chase: What?! But Maxie was in such high spirits when she came by earlier today.

Brook Lynn: She’s too nice to involve you.

Chase: I am so sorry.

Brook Lynn: I’m not even upset about the job. I’m upset because I lost my best friend.

Finn: I hope Molly and Kristina can work through their problem.

Alexis: Oh, so you figured it was the two of them, huh?

Finn: I just got the impression it wasn’t Sam.

Alexis: [ Chuckles ] True. The two of them are driving me crazy, by the way, but I know I need to let them work it out on their own. You didn’t share. Are you okay?

Finn: I’m just trying to honor my father’s wishes.

Alexis: I admire that.

Finn: Yeah, well, Dad wants to go on like everything is normal.

Alexis: Well, at least he finally told Chase.

Finn: No, he didn’t.

Valentin: Anna, listen to me. Whoever got in here —

Anna: What?! Is trying to get to me?! Well, it’s working.

Blair: You weren’t even gonna say hello, Marty?

Martin: Forgive me. I didn’t see you, Blair.

Blair: Oh, you saw me all right.

Martin: Trish. Excuse me. Could I please get —

Blair: Another, and I will have what I was having over there before, please.

Trish: Okay.

Blair: Thank you.

Martin: What are you doing here, Blair?

Blair: [ Scoffs ] Well, if I didn’t know better, I would think that you’re not happy to see me.

Martin: I’m not. Nor am I happy to find you meeting up with the likes of Tracy Quartermaine, of all people.

Blair: Oh, and I thought you didn’t see me.

Martin: I might have caught a glimpse.

Blair: Mm. But you were distracted by your friend.

Martin: My friend?

Blair: Yeah, the gorgeous brunette. What, you didn’t want to introduce her to ex-wife number three? I would love to meet her. Where’d she disappear to?

Nina: Lucy, if you’re looking for Olivia, she’s not here right now.

Lucy: No, no, no. I’m not. I was looking for you. I-I spoke with your assistant and she said you’d be here. I just — I just need to ask you something. Listen, Martin is down in the lobby waiting. I don’t have a lot of time. I just — please tell me. Tell me about Sasha, please.

Nina: Well, as you clearly heard when you barged into the office, I left word for Gladys to give me an update when she hears anything.

Lucy: Well, I don’t have time to wait. I need to know what’s happening with Sasha right now.

Chase: Okay, what happened with Maxie?

Brook Lynn: I was trying to convince myself that there was something I could do, you know, to make it right, but Maxie made it perfectly clear that there is nothing I can do to make up for what I did.

Chase: I take it they found out that Tracy got the information on The Deceptor from you.

Brook Lynn: Yeah. Deep down, I knew they would. Maxie could lose her livelihood. I mean, she just moved. She has three kids she has to support.

Chase: The case hasn’t been settled yet.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, but it doesn’t look good, and it’s all my fault. And now I am getting exactly what I deserve. Maxie hates me.

Alexis: Gregory told me that he was going to Chase’s apartment the other day to tell him.

Finn: No, he must’ve — must’ve changed his mind. I — Chase called me this morning about getting a new baseball glove for Violet. He doesn’t know. It’s not gonna be easy for either one of them when he finally does tell Chase.

Alexis: It’s not easy for anyone. Certainly not easy for you.

Finn: All I’ve wanted to do since he told me was to help him. You know, I’ve been researching ALS day and night. What I’d really like to do is talk to Dr. Bronson about his case.

Alexis: But you can’t do that, can you?

Finn: It’s my dad’s illness, right?

Alexis: Mm-hmm.

Finn: So legally, ethically, I’d have to get his permission. And I think — I’m concerned just bringing it up to him right now would just upset him more.

Alexis: [ Scoffs ] You and Dr. Bronson are both doctors. I’m sure that he would understand and share with you what he could.

Finn: Yeah, doctors don’t really like that, and — and I won’t go behind my father’s back.

Alexis: You’re right. That was a terrible idea.

Finn: You know, there will come a point when he won’t… he won’t be able to walk anymore. My father won’t be able to speak. But it’s still up to him when and how much he wants me to be involved.

Gregory: Why wouldn’t you want to go home to that adorable son of yours?

Esme: [ Chuckles ] No, it’s not — it’s not Ace that I’m avoiding. It’s Spencer. Um, but I don’t want to bother you with my problems.

Gregory: You are not bothering me.

Esme: Um, it’s just that Spencer and I have been spending a lot of time together taking care of Ace, and I thought that everything was going really well. You know, Spencer adores his little brother, and, you know, Ace lights up every time that Spencer walks into the room. [ Chuckles ] And I don’t know. It felt like for the first time in my life, I knew what it was like to be part of a family.

Gregory: Sounds like a good start to me.

Esme: Until I overheard Spencer talking to Alexis about going out of town for the weekend with his girlfriend, Trina. He asked Alexis to check up on me, and in spite of what I thought, it is very clear that Spencer does not trust me. So much for family.

Marshall: Stella. We need to talk.

Stella: I’m a little busy here, Marshall.

Marshall: It’s important.

Elizabeth: Stella, you are due for a break.

Stella: Thanks, Elizabeth. I-I’ll finish this right after. Is everything all right with Curtis?

Marshall: He’s good. At least for now.

Stella: What is that supposed to mean?

Marshall: He’s thinking of selling The Savoy.

Stella: Bite your tongue. That’ll be the death of him.

Valentin: They were sloppy this time.

Anna: This seems very deliberate to me. This seems very personal. I just bought this. I bought it because I don’t have any clothes because they burned in the fire, all right? I’ve only worn this one time. I don’t even like it. And the only reason that it’s ruined is —

Valentin: Why, because it’s yours?

Anna: Yeah, because it’s mine. Your stuff isn’t here. I mean, it makes me feel that whoever’s doing this, they — they just — they want one thing, and that is to leave me with nothing.

Valentin: And then what? It’s more than that. The message in the bathroom. “You think you’re safe, but you’re not.” That’s a direct threat.

Martin: Oh, that woman who was just here — oh, fact is we just met. I’m not even sure I remember her name.

Blair: Lucy Coe.

Martin: Oh.

Blair: Yes. “Oh.” She owns Deception, a cosmetics company just like me. Hmm. Some people might even consider us rivals. But I hear on the street that her company’s not doing that well.

Martin: Yeah, let me guess — little bird named Tracy Quartermaine told you that.

Blair: Possibly.

Martin: All right. Enough is enough. What exactly are you doing here with her tonight, Blair?

Blair: Marty… you’re an intelligent man. I’m sure you can figure it out.

Nina: All we know for sure, Lucy, is that Cody Bell apparently took Sasha out of Ferncliff.

Lucy: What?! How did he manage that?

Nina: Well, he got checked in as a patient.

Lucy: [ Scoffs ] Cody is not crazy.

Nina: No, he’s not crazy, but he convinced someone that he needs help, and he’s on the verge of being charged for kidnapping.

Lucy: [ Scoffs ] There is no way that Cody kidnapped Sasha.

Chase: Maxie may be angry, but once she has time to think it through —

Brook Lynn: Think what through, Chase? I betrayed her — and Lucy and Sasha.

Chase: You made a mistake. And I know for a fact that Maxie has made a number of mistakes in the past, and they know Tracy and what she is capable of. They’ll understand the pressure you were under.

Brook Lynn: That’s the part I feel the worst about — letting Tracy blackmail me because I was too afraid of you finding out the truth. I should have trusted you enough to tell you the truth myself.

Chase: Yeah, well, it’s too late for that.

Alexis: You’re a good son, you know that? And I know it’s even harder for you to let your father handle his own medical decisions because you’re a doctor.

Finn: Between you and me, it is tearing me up inside, but at some point, I have to admit and accept my limitations.

Alexis: Mm. Yeah, good luck with that. Whenever I try, it doesn’t always work out so well for me.

Finn: My dad’s lucky to have you in his life.

Alexis: I feel lucky to have him in mine, and I’m just trying to keep things as normal as possible because he said he wanted to maintain a normal life for as long as he could.

Finn: It’s not easy to go along with it, is it?

Alexis: I think that we all have our own u-unique ways of imagining how we’re gonna deal with the…

Finn: The transition?

Alexis: I hated that word when people used to substitute that for dying, and now…I think it’s really appropriate. I don’t know if it’s gonna make things any better for you or not, but you are not alone. We are in this together.

Finn: It helps a lot.

Gregory: Sometimes, even family can let you down, Esme, but they will almost always be there for you when you really need them. The bonds of family don’t easily break.

Esme: I realize that I was this horrible person before, but I am trying really hard to make a new beginning. I want to be the best receptionist, and, more importantly, I want to be the best mom that I can be for Ace, and I’m trying really hard to build a new relationship with Spencer based on respect because he is Ace’s big brother. But what’s the point? Because Spencer only sees me for who I was and not the person that I am now. Just like everybody else. [ Sighs ]

Gregory: If it means anything, Alexis had her doubts, but she sees you for who you are now, and so do I. Is it okay if I give you a little advice?

Esme: Anything, please.

Gregory: Sometimes when you only look at the big picture, it can be really frustrating and infuriating, so try to focus on the short term, like maybe the one thing that happened today that made you smile.

Esme: Does that work for you?

Stella: Curtis can’t sell The Savoy. He’s so proud of that club. It keeps him motivated and inspires him.

Marshall: You’re right about that.

Stella: And that’s more important than ever for him to keep fighting to recover. He’s got friends and coworkers there. Didn’t he go back to work?

Marshall: He did. And you can see while he’s at the club, the way he interacts with all the people, it’s like he has his finger on the pulse of Port Charles.

Stella: That’s exactly what he needs to keep fighting to recover. Why on earth would he want to sell?

Marshall: He may have gotten an offer he can’t refuse.

Anna: Don’t you think that someone who’s burned down my house and broken in here has had ample opportunity to kill me already?

Valentin: I’m not saying someone isn’t enjoying torturing you a little bit, but you know that message in the bathroom is a threat.

Anna: Yes, I know that. But this — this doesn’t look like someone who works for Pikeman or the WSB would resort to this, right?

Valentin: Okay. So it’s not professional-looking, but burning your house down, taking a shot at you at The Metro Court pool, now this — this is not a coincidence.

Anna: Okay.

Valentin: And I’m not taking any chances.

Martin: You gave Tracy the rights and copyright on your attempts to develop a beauty wand, didn’t you?

Blair: Nope. I gave Tracy absolutely nothing. But, however, she did pay a very handsome sum for those rights. You’re a lawyer, Marty. You know by only owning those rights, Tracy could file a suit against Lucy and Deception.

Martin: The fact that you would do something like that with someone like that to hurt someone like Lucy Coe — shame on you, Blair. That is just vile.

Blair: No. What is vile is you whispering my original idea into your girlfriend’s ear and making her think that it was her idea just to get her in your bed.

Martin: That is not how it happened.

Blair: [ Scoffs ] Right.

Martin: Anyway, Lucy’s product actually works. Yours never did.

Blair: She never would have got it off the ground if it hadn’t been an idea that you stole from me. Well, you know what, buddy? It is gonna cost you big time.

Lucy: Sasha didn’t want to admit it, but, um, I think that Cody does care for her much more than just as a friend. He did come to her rescue, you know, when she had that “problem” at the home & heart show.

Nina: Oh, yeah. That was a terrible trick that somebody played on her.

Lucy: Yeah, it was. It was so cruel. But, you know, she did handle it. Sasha was okay. She did. And Cody was there for her then, too, and I’m just wondering if maybe he feels like he’s rescuing her, you know, by breaking her out of Ferncliff. He’s coming to her aid. You know, I really am worried about her, but Deception is also in a very precarious position right now, and if Sasha can’t come back, you know, I need to know. If she’s not gonna be able to come back, then I have simply got to replace her as soon as possible.

Finn: Well?

Elizabeth: Well, what?

Finn: Well, you were on your way to say hello, and then you took this sudden detour.

Elizabeth: I actually wasn’t gonna say hello. I was, um — I was gonna tell you something, and now I’m not sure it’s such a good idea.

Finn: Well, now you have to tell me.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ] Okay, but first, I-I recognize this isn’t my place. TJ told me about an incident he had with Dr. Bronson, and then Stella was just telling me about some of her patients, and it only confirmed what I’d been feeling since I took over as head nurse.

Finn: What’s going on?

Elizabeth: I don’t think Dr. Bronson is the right doctor for your dad.

Brook Lynn: Too late for what? For us?

Chase: No. No, too late for you to regret not telling me.

Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]

Chase: Because you did. You shared everything with me.

Brook Lynn: And you were so understanding.

Chase: Brook Lynn, you did what you did because you were desperate for me to get my job back, and I love you for that. I love you for so many reasons. But I don’t want to spend time, the two of us, just rehashing the past.

Brook Lynn: No. Look, I know that everything is gonna turn out all right as long as I have you by my side. I just — I hate what I did to my friends.

Chase: You know what I don’t understand, is how could your grandmother put you in that position? She knew how close you were to Maxie, and yet she still made you feel like you had to betray your best friend. Who would do that to their granddaughter?

Gregory: Actually, it has been working for me. I find if I focus on a good thing during the day that happened, you know, big or small, it makes a difference in my outlook.

Esme: What about today?

Gregory: Oh, today was really special. Today, I tried lavender ice cream for the first time.

Esme: [ Chuckles ]

Gregory: Amazing. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on.

Esme: [ Chuckles ]

Gregory: What about you?

Esme: Oh, that’s easy. Today, after Ace burped, he gave me the biggest smile. I could — I could tell he thought it was funny, and it just made me think how lucky I am that I’m his mom.

Gregory: That sounds even better than my lavender ice cream.

Esme: Little bit.

[ Both chuckle ]

Gregory: Look, why don’t you get on home to Ace? I think I can handle rearranging your boss’s desk.

Esme: Thank you.

Gregory: My pleasure.

Alexis: Hi.

Esme: Oh, you’re back.

Gregory: Whoa.

Alexis: Gregory. Whoa.

Gregory: [ Grunts ]

Alexis: You okay there?

Gregory: Mm.

Valentin: You gonna be okay on your own?

Anna: Where are you going?

Valentin: I’m gonna go check for some security footage and see if we can’t identify who did this.

Anna: Don’t you think a professional will know that there are security cameras on every floor? And will have disabled them, or at least hidden their identity as best they can?

Valentin: Well, we’re gonna find out. Listen, in the meantime, you call the police and have them meet you here.

Anna: Yeah, maybe forensics will find something.

Valentin: Yeah. We’re gonna find who did this. We’re gonna stop them.

[ Door closes ]

Martin: What do you mean it’s gonna cost me? Lucy’s the one being sued by Tracy Quartermaine.

Blair: Yeah, and I’m the one paying you $50,000 a month in alimony.

Martin: Well, if you didn’t want to pay, maybe you shouldn’t have spent so much time jumping in and out of the sack with David Vickers. Wasn’t exactly discreet. As I recall, you were caught in flagrante.

Blair: Mm-hmm, because you hired that stupid detective.

Martin: [ Chuckling ] Oh, he had nothing to do with the money. No, no, that was all that sweet southern judge decided $50,000 was adequate and reasonable compensation for my pain and suffering.

Blair: Oh, and you’re just suffering so much with Lucy Coe.

Martin: No, no, no, no, no. She’s definitely what I call a step up.

Blair: Well, Tracy says that you’re really hooked on her. So when Lucy loses Deception — and she will — you’ll have no choice but to make her wife number four. Marry her. And you know when that happens, I won’t have to pay you another single dime.

Stella: What is this “Godfather” talk?

Marshall: A prominent business woman named Selina Wu offered Curtis a lot of money.

Stella: And he wants to sell?

Marshall: Not sure. But she’s trying to convince him that in his current condition, it’d be too difficult for him to run the club.

Stella: Too difficult because he’s in a wheelchair? Oh, these people make me crazy when they automatically assume that anyone with a disability is incapable of holding down a job like running a club or a thousand other jobs. If they saw a fraction of the grit and bravery I see people display every day, they would be ashamed of themselves.

Marshall: As well they should. Stella, I — I know what you do here is very important to the doctors and to the patients. I’m hoping that maybe you can find a way to lift Curtis up the way you do your patients.

Stella: I’m gonna do my best. Curtis needs that club. It’s his lifeline to get out of the house.

Marshall: Make him feel like he’s doing something worthy. My son can’t lose that club.

Esme: Professor Chase, are you all right?

Gregory: I’m — I’m fine. I’m sorry.

Alexis: It’s my fault. It’s that corner rug keeps coming up. We’ve got to get maintenance to take a look at that and tape it down. Yeah. So, um, thank you for staying late. I’m sure that your son needs his mom, and I’ll see you in the morning.

Esme: Yes, um, thank you again, Professor Chase.

Gregory: So how much did you hear?

Alexis: Enough to know that you lifted Esme’s spirits when she needed it.

Finn: Are you accusing Dr. Bronson of something?

Elizabeth: No, no, no, I’m not accusing him of anything. I think he’s a great neurologist.

Finn: Okay. Tell me what you really think.

Elizabeth: I think diagnostically, there’s no one better than Dr. Bronson. But there are things that happen or they should happen after the diagnosis… in my opinion.

Finn: That’s what I want to hear — your opinion.

Elizabeth: Okay, I can only compare him to you and some of the other specialists we have here.

Finn: [ Chuckles ] All the nurses make fun of my bedside manner.

Elizabeth: And we still think you’re an amazing doctor because you’re responsive to your patients. You listen to them, you answer their questions, you treat them with respect. You don’t just diagnose and then follow standard procedure. Dr. Bronson does.

Finn: And you think that’s how he’s treating my father?

Elizabeth: He diagnosed the ALS. His main focus is treating the ALS by the book rather than treating Gregory, the patient.

Nina: Let me get this straight. Uh, your concern for Sasha is what she is going through might cost you money?

Lucy: No, no, of — of course not. I adore Sasha. Everybody does. But you’re a businesswoman. You know that we just can’t be responsible for our own personal feelings. I’m responsible for employees. They could lose their jobs, the whole company. Don’t you see that — Frankly, it’s just the timing of Sasha’s predicament is really bad because Tracy is coming after us, and we could lose absolutely everything.

Nina: [ Clears throat ] I think it’s time for you to leave.

Lucy: What?

Nina: You heard me.

Valentin: Nina. I could use your help.

Lucy: No, wait. We are not finished with our conversation here.

Nina: Conversation is over. Goodbye, Lucy.

Lucy: Wow. Okay.

Valentin: Listen, I can explain everything, but right now, I need you to show me whatever security footage you have of the hallway outside of Anna’s hotel suite.

Gregory: Glad I could help Esme. She’s dealing with a lot.

Alexis: She’s not the only one.

Gregory: She’s young. Her life is just beginning.

Alexis: And yours is not over.

Gregory: [ Exhales deeply ]

Alexis: I thought you were gonna tell Chase that you have ALS.

Gregory: I was, and I went to his apartment with every intention of doing just that, but… Brook Lynn had just moved in and the two of them seemed so very happy and I just couldn’t ruin it.

Elizabeth: You don’t seem surprised.

Finn: I’m not. I’ve had the same reservations about Dr. Bronson, but I thought maybe because he was treating my father, I was too close to be objective.

Elizabeth: Well, I’m being objective. And I’m not saying that Dr. Bronson isn’t a good doctor for certain people, but your dad…

Finn: Is dying, and he needs a more compassionate kind of care.

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Finn: The problem is he chose Dr. Bronson, and I just can’t step in now and start dictating treatment.

Elizabeth: Finn. You’re an excellent doctor with exceptional experience. This is your lane. And I think your dad would feel reassured and supported by your opinions. You wouldn’t be telling him what to do. You’re just offering an alternative.

Brook Lynn: You’ve been in Port Charles long enough now to have heard the infamous stories of the Quartermaine family’s, you know, bickering and backstabbing.

Chase: Yeah, but all those stories can’t be true.

Brook Lynn: I never wanted to believe they were, either. And I’ve done my fair share of conniving and deceiving my family, but I really thought we were in a good place, you know, that we could really count on each other. Now my dad thinks he’s someone else, and my grandmother, I mean, she’s always been calculating and tough. I-I actually admired her for it. But now I realize she is deliberately destructive. She’s taking down Deception because she can, and I helped her do it. You have no idea how lucky you are, Chase, to come from a family that’s open and honest with each other.

Martin: What the hell are you talking about?

Blair: Follow the breadcrumbs, Marty. I won’t hesitate to tell Lucy and prove to her that you stole The Deceptor idea from me and you gave it to her, and then she’ll lose everything. And then being angry and broke, she’ll have no choice but to sue you, and I will be her star witness. So I think you losing 50 grand a month is a small price to pay, don’t you? I mean, you won’t lose Lucy, and you won’t lose the rest of your money. So think about it, okay? It’s so nice to see you.

Nina: Yeah, I can, um, pull up the security footage from Olivia’s computer, but first, Valentin, you need to tell me what’s going on. Is Anna okay?

Valentin: No, she’s not okay. Someone broke into our hotel suite while we were at dinner tonight. There was a threatening message written on the bathroom mirror. The room was ransacked and, uh, her clothes were strewn all over the place, covered in red ink.

Nina: Oh, my god. Okay, you said dinner… that would be the latest footage from tonight.

Valentin: In the last two, three hours.

Nina: I am so sorry. I thought Anna would be okay here.

Valentin: I was hoping so, too. Now I just want to know who did this.

Dante: Gun! Everybody down!

[ Gunshot ]

Lucy: [ Breathes deeply ] Wow, I do not know what that was for, but you almost made me forget all my problems.

Martin: Mm.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Phew. [ Clears throat ]

Martin: That’s what I’m here for, darlin’.

Gregory: It felt really good just now with Esme to be able to lift someone’s spirits instead of depress them.

Alexis: You do not depress anyone. On the contrary. You bring joy and happiness into many people’s lives, including your son’s and yours truly. And your work here, I mean, forget about it. It’s invaluable.

Gregory: Well… take advantage of me for as long as you can.

Alexis: I intend to. How are you feeling?

Gregory: You saw. More unsteady more often. Dr. Bronson has made it clear I’m deteriorating more rapidly. But I have every intention of living the best life I can for as long as I can.

Alexis: Good.

Gregory: But, Alexis, there’s something… I need to know.

Alexis: Of course.

Gregory: Have you ever tried lavender ice cream? Oh, my god.

Alexis: Yum!

Gregory: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: You’re right. I’m gonna talk to my dad about his treatment, and hopefully, he won’t be too resistant to sharing information.

Elizabeth: And then you could just take it from there.

Finn: Yeah. In the meantime, I’m gonna research some neurologists in the surrounding areas and New York City. I-I have some colleagues. They should be able to give me some good names. That way when I talk to him, I’ll have some alternatives.

Elizabeth: And if you need help with the research, I’m here.

Finn: I’m counting on it. Thank you. Thank you for giving me the push I needed.

Chase: My family wasn’t always open and honest. Growing up, Finn wasn’t around.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, but you guys worked that out.

Chase: Yeah. And I’m glad we did. Because of all that time we missed, I feel like what we have now is even more special. [ Chuckles ] I never would have thought that my father, my brother, and myself having a tea party with Violet, that that would be the highlight of my week.

Brook Lynn: I felt the same way about spending time with my dad and Leo.

Chase: And now I don’t just have my family together. I’ve got you, too. I’m the luckiest guy I know.

Brook Lynn: I’m pretty lucky, too.

Marshall: So glad you’re back in town. Doing the work you love here at this hospital.

Stella: I didn’t mind being a jet-setter for a while, but I did miss my family and this job.

Marshall: Are they working you to death?

Stella: Oh, it’s fine, but it will be nice to get a little lighter load. Felicia Scorpio is going to be joining our staff, and I got a feeling she’s got the fire to make a difference.

Marshall: [ Chuckles ] It’s not surprising that you would be attracted to someone with the fire because you, Stella, are the original firecracker. [ Chuckles ] It’s good to have you back. And the family closer together.

Stella: You didn’t always feel that way.

Marshall: Hey, that’s — it’s water under the bridge. I lost Irene, and somehow, it feels that she’s still a part of us, especially with Curtis and Trina and you.

Stella: We’re lucky to have the family we have.

Marshall: Yeah, we are. [ Chuckles ] So we’ll, uh — we’ll keep this together. You’re going to talk to Curtis about the club, and I think between the two of us, we’ll be able to set him straight and keep him from making a mistake he’ll live to regret.

Stella: Yes.

Nina: All right, I pulled up the footage. You said the last three hours?

Valentin: Yeah, maximum.

Nina: Okay, I can just — I’ll fast-forward it.

Anna: Why are you involved with Sonny? And who is the third party?

Valentin: The defense contractor.

Anna: What’s the name of the company?

Valentin: Pikeman.

Valentin: Wait. Go back a little.

Nina: Uh, Valentin, I didn’t see anything.

Valentin: Just go back.

Dante: He lied to you about working for Pikeman?

Anna: He didn’t lie to me.

Dante: Well, he was dishonest. He withheld the truth. I-I just — why did he tell you? Wha– why then? Why would it come out of nowhere?

Anna: I was putting together the pieces, and he came — came home.

Dante: You told him what you knew, and he realized he had no choice but to come clean. So yeah, we don’t have to call that a lie if you don’t want to. But we both know he did lie to you about where he was the night of the fire.

Anna: Hello. I’d like to report a break-in.

Valentin: Stop there. Go back a little. Freeze it.

Nina: Oh, my God. Valentin, it can’t be.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha (to Cody): We have to stop this before it gets any worse.

Selina (to Marshall): If you truly were loyal, you’d reconsider.

Curtis (to Portia): You know why she came by, don’t you?

Ned (with Olivia): I might just take you up on that, my friend.

Officer (to Anna): Do you want to start an investigation?

Valentin (to Nina): Please don’t show this to anyone else.

Sonny (to Dex): I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
