THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 blair cramer, what a pleasure to finally meet you. Tracy quartermaine. Ms. Quartermaine. Thank you for joining me. I so much prefer doing business in person. Well, as do I. And this evening’s business is claiming what’s mine. God, not her. Tomorrow afternoon is pretty open, but you do have a call with the board scheduled for 5:30. After that, you’re free. That’s about it. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you, ms. Davis. Oh, and I just sent you the cutest picture of ace at the pool. Bye. Bye-bye.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hi, gregory, it’s me. I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be at the office for about another hour or so. So stop by or call if you need me. Spencer: I need you. Do you have time for a fellow cassadine? Wow, joss. You’ve made so much progress moving in. The place looks great. I know. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I had every intention of unpacking. It’s just, dex came over, and, you know, we got a little… distracted. How distracted? Ava. What are you doing here? I dropped avery off. She’s upstairs with donna and pilar. Avery’s welcome anytime, but I didn’t have her on the schedule for tonight. I hope it’s okay for her to stay. I have a late dinner with clients. Avid collectors. I couldn’t say no. Really? See, I find it hard to believe you of all people have a hard time saying no. So give it up. What have you done this time? Nikolas: Dr. Gatlin holt. Just in time. Just in time for what? To say goodbye. Right this way. Okay. Thank you. Sure. This is great. Thanks. Thank you. Here you go. Thanks. And detective falconeri left this for you. Oh, great.

[ Sighs ]

What you mean is what was yours is now mine, because I paid dearly for it. Ah, yes, you did. But I am still due my final deal point. That will come soon enough. It better, because my ex is bleeding me dry, and the sooner he remarries, the better. Well, as soon as deception is mine, lucy coe will be flat broke, and she will begin hounding your ex mercilessly until he makes her mrs. Martin gray. Well, that works for me. What are you doing? We were gonna eat something. I’ll bet there’s a swell table with our names on it over at the pc grill. What do you say? No. No. Is it ’cause of tracy? No. No, no, no. I am not afraid of tracy quartermaine. Never have been. Never will be. No, lucy — I always have time for you. Whatcha got there? Uh, this is my future. It’s been over six months since my father disappeared. And as expected, the cassadine attorneys have been in touch. And the full control of the cassadine estate goes to the heir. And that would be you. That’s right. Yeah, they want to get the ball moving and, um… they want to give me full control. Uh, quite frankly, I don’t understand what any of this legalese means, but I was hoping that you might be able to translate. Oh, I can translate. Come with me. Let’s see what’s what. Whew. Trina: Girl, you and dex are too much. You were never like this with cam. Yeah, well, that was a different relationship. It seems like you guys can’t keep your hands off one another. Yes, I know. Were you guys always like this? No, I mean, not always. I-I think I was attracted to him from the very beginning, even though I didn’t want to admit that to myself. And now we’re together, and the more time we spend together, I guess the better everything else is, you know? Okay, I-I-I got to ask. Ask me what? Were you nervous the first time you were with dex? Nervous? I — why are you asking? Carly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve done nothing. You did something that handed austin and his cousin mason leverage over you. You think just because I’m asking you to watch avery, there’s some nefarious connection to austin and the creep? This is the second time you dropped her off unexpectedly. Carly, would you prefer it if I took avery and I left? No. This has nothing to do with avery, and you know it. Whatever’s going on, you’re in it up to your neck. And it’s only something that sonny can get you out of. So what is it? 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. Austin did what? Ava is going to be so happy to find out you’re alive when you get back to port charles. I’m not going to port charles. What do you mean? I can’t go back to port charles or let anyone know I’m alive until I’ve tied up some loose ends. Where are your loose ends if they’re not in port charles? In europe. And I leave in a few hours. Are we getting notes from other men? Should I be jealous? It’s more than a note. Well, I’m intrigued. What does dante have to say? Read it for yourself. Is it true?

Will always have a softspot in my heart for marty, but having to pay him 50 grand a month in alimony? Really putting a crimp in my budget. On top of that, my youngest is in college, and my jack, jack is my problem child whose problems only seem to be solved with money. Adorable. Rest assured, I have everything under control. I’m sure you do. So, how did it go in court? I was a little concerned at first. Intellectual property theft can be difficult to prove. But luckily you gave me enough ammunition for my lawyer, and everything went according to plan. And that tidbit about the deceptor was exactly what I needed to get the judge to hear the case. Great. I hope you know that, you know, I’m just doing all this to right a wrong. I mean, it’s not really about the money. A-an injustice was done here. People can’t just steal people’s ideas and and profit from it. I mean, I’m making a case about this that — well, actually, you are making a case. It’s about the people who get cheated out of their piece of the pie. And deception is one huge pie. Oh. So your intentions are purely altruistic. You’re doing this for the little people. Okay, okay. My motivation — this might be a little bit selfish, because the deceptor was my idea in the first place. I just never got around to finishing it. And knowing my ex the way that I do, I know that he will do anything to get what he wants. And in this case, it’s lucy. Mm-hmm. Mouthy marty, he couldn’t help himself. He had to share my design ideas just to win her over. I wouldn’t call lucy a win. Who is that blond bob person with tracy over there? You know, I think I’ve seen her before. I haven’t got the foggiest. You know, this is all sort of a big “so what?” Are you sure you won’t change your mind about heading over to the grill? I would purely love some of the crab cakes. No. But I do think I know why you want to leave. You do? Mm-hmm. It’s ’cause of that horrible, nasty tracy. You know what? She does make you lose your appetite. But that’s okay. We are not budging. We are going to stick around. We’re staying. Well, in that case, I’m going to need a shot of something. I mean, present company and all, I think we should just remain calm and order ourselves a couple of drinks. This is a really complicated document, so I’m going to need some time with this. So what I’ll do is I’ll square things away. I’ll give you some instruction, and I’ll get it back to you by tomorrow night. Is that going to work for you? Yes. You were smart to bring it to me first. I appreciate it. I’m happy to do it, actually, because I’ve kind of miss– no, I’m not just talking about the legal document. I mean… family, and I’m very grateful for you. I’m so grateful for you. And for better or worse — and worse when it comes to the cassadines — we’re family, and we have an unbreakable bond. Except for not where my father is concerned. When he pretended to be dead all of those years, I thought that he had sunk as far as he could. But then he disappeared, and he abandoned my brother. How does someone walk out on a baby? Your father had no frame of reference on how to be a father. I mean, his own father was a horrible role model. And I’m not making excuses for him. I’m not. I just have a soft spot for him because he’s damaged, and it wasn’t his fault. There is no justification for a parent walking out on their child. Never. But I can say with certainty that he loved you. But he has an odd way of showing it. But I am glad that I have you. I am always here for you. You know that. Well, on that note, I have one more favor that I’d like to ask you. Okay. This one’s about ace. Austin: The hell are you talking about? You can’t go to europe. You need a passport. You need money. Where did you get these clothes? Austin, I have multiple accounts and aliases. Of course you do. How could I not know that? It’s just a simple matter of accessing them. Yeah, but europe? Why europe? What’s in europe? Many glorious things. But most importantly, my mother. She’s there trying to track me down. So you’re going to go meet your mother? No. I have no intention of seeing her. I just need her to know I’m alive. I’ve got a lot going on. I haven’t been entirely transparent with you. I think that’s putting it mildly. Ever since you left for russia, there’s just been one truth after the other surfacing. You know, I — I find out that you used to work for pikeman. No, I never worked for them directly. I-I was an independent contractor. I never worked for them directly. Okay, that’s semantics. 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. I love you. That’s all you’ll ever need to know. Is it? You’re not answering my question. Is that true? Yes. Unfortunately, it is true. I wasn’t at elq the night of the fire. Pikeman summoned me to a meeting in new york. They flew me to manhattan. I mean, that’s not much of a confession, because that’s what it says in dante’s note. What more do you want to know? I don’t know. What the hell was so urgent that you had to fly to new york city in the middle of the night? Pikeman was concerned about sonny. They still are. And they wanted to consult with me. Why do you lie to me?

---

My motivation in all of this is to stop funding marty’s lavish lifestyle. You have made that abundantly clear. 50 grand a month in alimony buys a lot of hummingbird cake. Yes, and I can only imagine what he spends wooing the floozy. Well, the gravy train has left the station. So, are you sure the judge can keep the deceptor sales frozen? Yes, absolutely. And while they are frozen, deception’s stock price is plummeting. The company will be basically worthless by the time lucy coe and company gets their day in court. Speaking of court, I want you to tell me how — how it went with jackson. Ooh, great recommendation. Good. Thank you. He did an impeccable job. Well, not only is he a very talented lawyer, he’s pretty irresistibly handsome to look at, too. Don’t you think? I hadn’t noticed. Come on! You had to have been laser-focused on bringing lucy coe down not to notice that. Ah, you are out for blood. I don’t need blood. It’s the piece of my family’s company that I want back from lucy. She has been using it to ruin our lives for years. And I won’t stop till I get it. Don’t you think the G.H. Softball team is doing suspiciously well? I mean, far be it for me to cast aspersions on the medical profession, but… could they be cheating? Uh…o-okay. Well, maybe. You know what? Maybe that wouldn’t surprise me at all, because those quartermaines have their grubby little paws in every aspect of the hospital. And the two biggest cheaters are tracy and her spy granddaughter, brook lynn. Do you know, she — she really did steal privileged and confidential information about the deceptor. Shame on her. Hey, is everything okay with you and spencer? Yeah, we’re fine. We’re better than ever. It’s just with curtis and school and the gallery, we barely see one another. We’re never alone. The last time was

the haunted star. This could be our only chance to feel this close again. And since then, it’s just been one thing after another. I just want it to be about me and spencer. But ever since greenland, the timing just hasn’t been right. Well, I’m sure it doesn’t help that he’s living with esme. No, it doesn’T. But I think spencer found a way around that. Alexis: So what do you need for ace? Spencer: Well, trina and I are going to go to new york for a little weekend getaway. That sounds fun. Yeah. Yeah, it will be. And I was just wondering if you wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on esme…and ace. I don’t understand this. Why would you insist on playing dead? You want your mother — wait, hold on a second. You want your mother to know that you’re alive, but you don’t want to see her. And in the meantime, ava is losing her mind, thinking that she killed you. Why are you so worried about ava? I have a problem with people feeling guilty that they killed people that clearly aren’t even dead.

[ Chuckles ] Ava’s not someone who’s prone to guilt. You don’t know ava like I do. On august 23rd, I went to visit drew in pentonville, and austin came in carrying his doctor bag, and I just assumed he was there for a medical reason. Okay, so then what makes you think he wasn’t? Because he was actually there to deliver information to his boss, the same information betty stole from sonny. Well, that’s a lot of speculation, even for you. We’re way past that, ava. Sonny came to me and drew for help. My helping sonny means I’m helping you. Why did you have to go to new york city? You know, clearly, you have a pikeman contact right here in port charles. Why didn’t you take the meeting here or use the phone? Pikeman didn’t want to risk me being seen with the contact. It was safer to take the meeting outside of the city. Plus, pikeman and the sonny deal, those are fraught subjects for us. I chose to lie about it.

[ Chuckles ] “F-fraught subjects”? That’s a little clinical, isn’t it? I’m talking about us, you know, our relationship. ‘Cause I thought that maybe we were being honest with each other.I’m being honest with you now. Yeah, because I’m making you. I mean, would you have ever told me about the pikeman connection on your own? What else are you keeping from me? Anna, I love you. Please don’t do this. Okay, you can’t keep saying that, ’cause it’s not actually an explanation. Just because you say you love me, I’m supposed to accept everything that’s going on. Do you know how it felt when dante told me that you just blatantly lied? I lied to you because I wanted to keep the relationship with pikeman separate from you. Okay, how’s that working out? I was actually delivering a message from you to sonny here at the pool when someone decided to take a shot at me, or sonny, or both of us. I should never have involved you. I should never have asked you to deliver that message. I am sorry. That was a mistake. How many more lies and mistakes have you got to tell me about? Have you lied about anything else?

---

Why do you hate lucy coe so much? Because she’s a cockroach that my family has been unable to get rid of since she sunk her claws into my brother. She has a crucial 1% of the voting rights of my family company. But all of that is about to come to an end, because once I have control of deception, lucy coe will no longer be an issue. You have such a distaste for business. I remember you saying that you hoped that you never had to utter the letters elq ever again. Huh. The things some people remember.

[ Chuckles ] Well, it’s not all about me. Now, don’t get me wrong. I do so enjoy putting the screws to lucy coe for all of the chaos she wreaked upon my family. Okay, now I’m really curious. What did she do besides marry your brother? She helped install valentin cassadine as ceo of elq. But there are other family dynamics at play now. Such as? Maybe it’s much ado about nothing. Maybe the lawsuit won’t hold up in court. I wish that was true, but I think it will. I really think this lawsuit has traction, and the person I’m blaming the most is brook lynn. How could she do it to us? How could she steal all the ideas that I had to come up and develop the deceptor? It’s so galling that they’re making it sound like it wasn’t my idea when it was, and, yes, with a few helpful hints from you. No, no, no, no. Lucy, stop. I-I’ve told you once. I’ve told you a thousand times. I have nothing to do with the deceptor. St– I’ve told you a thousand times, you have to stop. You were right there. You and I both know that you gave me that idea. Alright. Alright. Let’s just agree to disagree. It’s not how I remember it. Things are complicated enough as they are. There’s no reason to drag me into it. Fine, so then you’re forgetting our pillow talk. Okay. I came up with the product, but because you suggested it. I never would have come up with the idea for the deceptor if it wasn’t for you. Wait, is spencer moving out of laura’s condo and getting his own place? I wish. Spencer can’t get his own apartment yet. Well, have you talked about it? It’s come up before, but spencer can’t leave because of ace. And I totally get that. I mean, he — he still doesn’t trust esme. Oh, can you blame him? No, not at all. I get it. He — he needs to be there for his brother. And it actually makes me like him even more. How so? I love that he’s — he’s there for ace. He puts him first. It doesn’t bother you that the baby’s getting more attention than you? Well, I’ll be getting plenty of attention this weekend on our trip. What? Trip? Explain. Okay, well, it’s just a two-day thing. Um, he’s taking me to manhattan. Trina, traveling together? That’s a huge step. I know. It’ll be our first time alone together, completely away from everybody. Are you ready for that? I mean, it’s not like I’m rushing into it. We’re both adults, and we’re committed to each other. Oh, of course. Totally. It’s just, you know, sex takes things to a-a new level. And I-I just want to make sure that, you know, you’ve thought about it. I’ve done nothing but think about it.

[ Chuckles ] I have been keeping an eye on esme and ace, and she seems to be doing well with him and reasonably well as a receptionist. Aside from the obvious, why do you think she needs to be supervised? Well, we all know the new and improved esme, the one that surfaced after claiming that she had no memory of anything that happened before she washed up on the haunted star. But let’s not forget all of the awful things that she did before that. I won’T. But whether she’s faking her memory loss or not, you have to admit she’s good with ace. She is. But she’s attempted to run away before. And now with my grandmother and kevin out of the country looking for my father, I would just feel a lot better knowing that ace was safe. Oh, um… sorry. I forgot to get you this, um, payroll, uh, alexis. If anyone is unknown to me, it’s you. I treated you as a patient for months. I nursed you back to health, and you have this agenda, and you never even mentioned it.

[ Chuckles ] Austin, you didn’t save me out of the goodness of your heart. We both know that. Eh. As for my agenda, it’s simple. Cassadine estate is controlled by a trust. If the current owner of the estate, which happens to be me, disappears for six months, they’re presumed dead, and control of the estate automatically passes to the heir. Oh, who happens to be your son. My son. Right. Spencer. And you don’t like the way the cassadines have arranged things? I want to stop it. Yeah, I don’t blame you. And the only way to keep spencer from controlling all of my money and resources is if proof comes to light that I’m still alive. Anna, I know that I’ve given you reason to doubt me. But, no, I’m not keeping any secrets from you. I’m curious. Um, what pulled you into working for pikeman in the first place? Greed. And I was younger then. I had nothing to lose. But not now. Now I have far too much to lose. Anna, pikeman is very powerful, and they have a long memory, and it is just easier to cooperate and keep them as an ally than to have them as an enemy. Really? Is there any differentiation between those two things in a business like that? This is my problem. I want you as far away from it as possible. But how can I be? I mean, I’m right here. Ugh, god. Are you okay? No, I just — can we go up to the suite again? I just — you don’t want dinner? Mnh-mnh. We’ll get room service. Okay.

---

Weren’t you the least bit curious why the fbi arrested sonny? I was just relieved when the charges were dropped. But you never asked him the reason why? Nope. No, I did not. It was because he left false information for betty to find. And then betty took it to austin, who took it to his boss in pentonville, whoever that is. Which means austin and mason’s boss has ties to the fbi. Well, I don’t know why you’re telling me all this. It’s got nothing to do with me. That’s bull, ava, and you know it! Why don’t you let it rest?! Carly. You know what I think? I think you did something, and mason and austin found out about it. And they’re threatening to tell their boss, who could take it to the fbi. Austin: Okay, well, why not go to port charles after? Why — you know, when you — when you — when you’ve cleaned up all of your loose ends and you’ve taken care of your money, why not go then? Because my son spencer hates me. He has a pretty good reason to, from what I understand. The way ava’s explained it to me, this is not the first time that you’ve pretended to be dead, which is just, like, a weird habit with you. Who does that? Why? How could you do that to your own son? You don’t know what’s gone on in our family, and I don’t need to justify my actions to you. I know for a fact that once spencer gets control of the money and the cassadine estate, he isn’t likely to ever give it back to me. Right. Well, can you blame him? It’s an awful lot of money. More than you realize. And the last thing I want to do is open this up to a long, ugly court battle, because that’s exactly where it will end up. It’s better to stop the process before it starts. You don’t think much of your son, do you? You did not come all this way to hear about the dysfunctional quartermaines, did you? Well, it couldn’t be any worse than my family, let me tell you. Could be. Do you use the words greedy, unscrupulous, and vindictive to describe your family? Oh, that and more. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with our saga. Let’s just say the borgias have nothing on us. Okay, then we will call it a draw. We both have dysfunctional families. Can we just get back to the business at hand? Okay. So there’s more to it than getting your elq voting rights back? Thank you. The payroll wouldn’t have gone out in time, and I’d have a lot of staff members breathing down my neck. Uh, sorry I forgot it earlier, but if I get it to accounting now, I can, uh, make it before the deadline. Thank you. I appreciate it. And so will the staff when their direct deposits hit at the end of the week. Better get it to accounting. Because you’re my best friend and I love you, I just have to ask. You’re not feeling any pressure from spencer on this, correct? No, I’m not feeling any pressure from spencer. Okay, good. And you shouldn’t, ever. I’m just so happy and excited to be planning a weekend away, just the two of us. Oh, my god. Well, a weekend in new york? It’s going to be perfect. At first, he wanted to go to turks and caicos. The caribbean? Isn’t it like hurricane season or something? That’s what I said. So how did you guys settle for new york? Well, first we were going to stop in new york, and then we were going to turks and caicos. Yeah. But with school starting and I’m working at the gallery, I just didn’t want to be away for that long. So manhattan was a compromise. Well, that’s a good compromise. He wants to take me to a broadway show, and then we’re going to have dinner at this hot new restaurant called essence. Well, are you going to have time for any other activities? Oh, yeah. We’re staying at this hotel that has a heated pool on the rooftop. Mm. Well, I bet you’re more excited to see the hotel room than the heated pool. Well, this is going to be our first time together.

---

You know what? You were absolutely right. We should have gone to the grill. I am not staying in the same room with tracy quartermaine, who is trying to take everything I’ve worked so hard for. I am going to freshen up, and then I will meet you in the lobby. Wait. Lucy?

[ Mutters indistinctly ] Actually, I never do anything for just one reason. Yeah, I don’t see you as a checkers kind of gal. You’re more of a strategic 3-d chess player. Actually, backgammon is my game. Well, noted. But this is not a game. This is business. I learned a lot from my father. And maybe the most important lesson he taught me is that opportunities are not given. They’re made. And once they’re made, you have to take full advantage of them. Blair. Ms. Quartermaine. A pleasure. Mm-hmm. Hello, sweetheart. Let me be clear about something. What sonny is doing right now, he is doing for avery’s sake. I know that. Sonny would do anything for his family. Because the situation is fraught, I would like for avery to stay here with you and donna for a while. For how long? A week, maybe. I don’t know exactly. Is that acceptable to you? Of course. Avery can stay here as long as she needs. Thank you. I appreciate that. Ava? This is also for avery’s sake. Whatever you have going on with austin? He’s keeping information from you. Do not trust him. Nikolas: Austin, my son is a cassadine. Meaning? I don’t expect him to act any differently toward me than I would act toward someone who stands in my way. That’s why I have to make sure he never has power over me. That’s an interesting family dynamic.

[ Cellphone chimes ] My car has just arrived. So I can’t talk you into changing your mind? No. Thank you again for all your help. Where are you going? It’s time for a family reunion. Well, thank you, aunt alexis, not only for your legal advice, but also for agreeing to check in on esme and ace while trina and I are away. We’re family. That’s what we do for each other. Just a thought, but esme is family, too, so if you could trust her first, maybe she would be a little more trustworthy. That might be difficult. You have to admit, she cares about that little boy. Look, I feel the same way about ace that esme does. Good. You have that in common — love for that little boy. Let that be the thing that brings you together instead of the thing that tears you apart. Just a thought again. Let’s go. You and spencer have had your ups and downs. You trust him? Yeah, I do trust him. And I believe that this is right. It feels like the right thing to be doing. Oh, I’m so happy for you!

[ Laughs ] I’m so happy for spencer, too. That means a lot to me. I-I know you two have had your differences since you broke up with cam. Oh, yeah. You know, I give him grief, but I know he’s a good guy. I think so, too. And you are the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Don’t you forget it. Aww.

[ Both laugh ] Valentin: I’m just saying, if you’re not feeling well, let me go get you something. Oh, it’s okay. It’s just, I feel a little faint, kind of. I think maybe have a lie down, and then… order some room service. Oh, valentin. Ink? What the hell?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Demarco: Yes,mm, no, I don’t want to believe what you’re saying. Gladys would never do anything to physically hurt me, cody. Believe me, sasha, okay? Gladys and montague knew each other before he was your doctor. She used him to help send you to ferncliff. What? Yes. No, no. That — you’re wrong, cody. You’ve always been wrong about gladys. It can’t be true. I need you to believe this, okay? I need — gladys would never drug me. Shh, shh. Hold on. Hold on. Someone’s coming.

[ Vehicle approaches ]

[ Sighs ] I always look forward to our visits, carly, but something tells me this is about more than just catching up. There is a situation, and I could use your help. Never a good thing when you’re summoned to the warden’s office. Warden garten: Come in. Good morning, warden. Per your request, I have cyrus renault. Thank you for coming, mr. Renault. That will be all. I’ll buzz you when I’m ready for you to escort mr. Renault back to his cell. How can I help you, warden? Drop the pious act, padre. I’ve had enough of your help. You hung me out to dry. And now you’re going to pay for it. Uh, excuse me. Hey, dex. What can I do for you?

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, sorry. Oh, no, that’s okay. Take it. Hey, what’s going on? Hey, I was just wondering if you’re still going to help me move into the dorm. Of course. I’ve just got some work to finish up for sonny. Should be done pretty soon, and I’ll be over. Okay, great. I can get back to my book. Everyone’s talking about how great it is. Bye. Sorry about that. I have a message for you from sonny. I have done everything that you have asked me to do. I don’t know. Will you please stop asking me that? I have no idea.

[ Knock on door, door opens ] Hang up that phone. Hello, ava. Nice to see you, too. Come on in. Um, I have to call you back. What? What’s happening? Well, you’re not answering my calls, so I had to come and find you in person. I am done with your cousin threatening me and my family. If he doesn’t honor our deal and return nikolas’ body, I will go to sonny, and I will tell him everything that you and your cousin have done.

[ Music playing in earbuds ] Hello, hello.

[ Music continues playing

in earbuds ] Trina. Trina! Aah! Okay, if I tell you to go, take the back exit of the cabin. You run. Okay? There’s a trail right outside the door. You take it all the way up to the road. I’ll meet you there with the car. You okay? Yeah. Alright.

[ Chuckles ]

---

You okay? Yeah. You alright?

[ Music playing in earbuds ] Yeah. Um, I’m sorry. No, it’s okay. Here. I am so sorry. No, you’re good. You’re good. Here. I probably shouldn’t be listening to music while I work. Yeah, maybe not. Hey! So this is where you’re keeping your dove at, huh? Yeah, he’s cute. I like him there. Yeah. Um, thank you for catching me. Sure. That was embarrassing, but it was romantic, mr. Cassadine. Well, I’ll always be there to catch you, ms. Robinson. Seems like you’re there for me when it’s important. No, it seems like I’m always the one who is, uh, getting you into dangerous situations that you probably shouldn’t be in, like in greenland.

[ Both chuckle ] Well, that’s okay. I wouldn’t change it. You sure about that? Positive. Well, you’ve saved me a few times, as well. You guys scared me half to death. What’s dante doing here? He’s here because he cares, and he can help. Dante: I’m gonna try to help. Okay. Alright. Well, might as well come in. Sasha, hey, it’s okay. Friends. Oh. Sam. Dante. Hi. It’s, uh — it’s good to see you both. It’s good to see you. It’s nice to see you out of ferncliff. You look — you look like you’re doing better. Thanks to cody. Please, don’t go talk to sonny. I mean, if you — if you did that, think about what would happen, rationally, right? Just nothing good, right? So let’s — let’s — okay. [ Sighs ] T-tell me what happened. Your lollipop lickin’ cousin, that’s what happened. What did mason do now? He came to my gallery, and he accused me of going to sonny because his — his plan fell through. Obviously, sonny saw right through it. Mason blamed me for that, and he started threatening me, and I’m not going to take it anymore! I have done everything that’s been asked of me, and I still have no idea when this nightmare is going to end. Oh, it’ll end soon. Mason will come through, one way or another. One way or another? What the hell does that mean? Sonny wanted me to tell you he’s going to be unreachable for a few hours, but didn’t want you to worry. Well, did sonny tell you what he was doing? Uh, he’s with carly. They’re visiting drew at pentonville. Thank you for delivering the message. I’m just doing my job, ms. Reeves. I told you, please, call me nina. Remember, we’re both on team sonny? Of course. Dex, uh, sorry. Did sonny tell you why he and carly were visiting drew? That’s the only message he gave me to deliver. He can be stingy with details.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Don’t I know it. Can I get you a cup of coffee to go? Oh, no, thank you. I, uh, got to run. Told joss I’d help her with something this morning, so… nina: 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. Sonny was arrested by the fbi a few days ago. I heard that. I heard. Word travels fast in pentonville. Congratulations. Clearly, the — the charges didn’t stick. Charges were dropped. Lack of evidence. I was basically trying to smoke out the enemy, so I gave them false information. But the false information got passed along to the fbi. Here’s the problem. I don’t know who the enemy is, but I’m pretty sure it’s somebody in pentonville. The idea was to entrap sonny and send him up the river, not to watch him walk. You had one job. One. You were supposed to provide me with accurate information on sonny and his deal with pikeman so that I had something substantial to turn over to the feds. They went out on a limb and set up a big sting operation that yielded nothing. Absolutely nothing. Corinthos is a free man, and it’s your fault. Are you taking a tone with me? You don’t think this whole thing pisses me off? And have you forgotten how you became warden? Because without me, you’d still be back in the corrections office pushing paper and answering e-mails. Nobody’s happy about this, especially me. But it’s my name that’s tarnished.

[ Groans ] Which I will clear.

[ Sighs ] I am but a humble servant of the almighty. I believed we had the goods, and I delivered what the lord placed into my welcoming hands. My people — your people? Are you referring to that useless mason gatlin? I should have never intervened for him. Mason has performed admirably for us in the past, even though I realize now his usefulness may be coming to an end, as it must for all god’s emissaries.

---

Whoa.

[ Chuckles ] Let me help. I think I got it. Okay. Maybe with the heavier stuff, yes. Josslyn: It’s nice and easy for you. Hey — hey, joss. Oh, hi, adam. Looks like we’re, uh, neighbors again. Oh, are you in the same room as last year? Yeah, I was — I was moving back in when I noticed your stuff was kind of blocking the hall. Oh. D-do you, um — you need help? Um, no, no, actually, I-I have some help already. How’s it going? I’m good, bud. How about you? N-not bad. I, um — I’m just gearing up for another semester of pre-med. You’re not a student here, are you? What brought you by the gallery this morning? I got your text. Oh. And I missed you. Oh. Right. Well, um, earlier this morning, I was at home, and curtis and i were having a fun, little disaster… oh. …Trying to set up the smart home gaming system that marshall bought. Well, that sounds absolutely horrid. I hate setting up new tech. Isn’t that what outsourcing is for? Uh, yes, that’s nice for folks who have a team of outsourcers. But unfortunately for us, we don’t, and, uh, marshall just left it in our laps. But, luckily, being a former P.I., Curtis is a wizard at stuff like that, so… uh, so what are you doing here? And shouldn’t you be home helping out curtis? Yeah. I-I got an urgent call from paloma’s people about her current art display here. Apparently, ava left out a detail about this fall’s show, and I guess it slipped through the cracks, which is surprising to me. That’s not like her. She’s usually particular about details. I think she’s been a little distracted lately. Ah. I can only imagine why. My ex-stepmother is, uh, always up to something. Hey, say what you want about ava, but she is extremely efficient and organized. It’s highly unusual for her to drop the ball at the gallery. It — it’s nothing. It — I just — I-I-I didn’t mean anything by it. Oh, no, I don’t think so, austin. First you tell me mason will come through one way or another, and then you tell me to forget that you said it? Are you double crossing me, austin? If you’re double crossing me, that would be a very, very big mistake. No, no, ava, I-I — I’m — I’m — I’m not double crossing you. Good, ’cause you more than anybody, you know what I’m capable of. When I’m pushed and I’m provoked, I’ll do almost anything, especially for avery. Can I be honest with you about — about something? For your sake, you ought to be. I’m so sorry. I am. I’m — I am truly sorry that — that you’re here in this situation. I should — I should never have let mason put you here. And if I could go back in time and do everything over again, I would. I would change everything so that you weren’t in this position. Thank you. I’d like to change things, too. You know, nikolas provoked me. He threatened me, and he threatened — he threatened avery. That’s why I-I did what I did. But I wish I hadn’t let him get the best of me. Avery is just a child. Are you sure that nikolas would really hurt her? The last time I came to visit you, we both saw austin come in carrying his medical bag. Wait. You think that austin is connected to sonny’s enemy? I know he is. Austin and mason gatlin have been circling me trying to get evidence on me violating the nsa so they can bring it back to the — you know, whoever they’re working for. So I fed them false information. The plan was to follow them back to their boss. And you think whoever they’re working for is — is here? And the trail stops right here. And because I’m in pentonville, maybe I got a shot at figuring out who austin came to see that day. I couldn’t have rescued you from ferncliff without sam’s help. She became my medical proxy and had me committed so I could get to you in ferncliff. She also left that car for us to escape in after we broke out, and she arranged for this cabin for us to hide in. Wha– sam, why would you do all that? I mean, what convinced you that I didn’t belong in ferncliff? Cody did. He never wavered in his belief in you. He always thought you were sane, that you never belonged in ferncliff. And he was convinced that everything that was happening to you was all wrong. Most I could have hoped for was for you to look the other way. Didn’t expect you to pitch in, but — unless you’re here to arrest us.

---

Trina, when you believe in something, you commit yourself 100% to it. It’s one of your many wonderful qualities. It’s why I’m not the least bit surprised that you have committed yourself to this gallery and to ava almost by default. By default? Ava’s been good to me, spencer, and so has this gallery. And is that why you stopped working at the chuck? Okay. Well, I’m just saying, it could have led to a better and more prestigious job. I-I don’t think working here diminishes my chances of having a successful art career. Ava lets me get my hands dirty in the earthier, more real art, which I love. That’s why I chose this career, because of the real art. I don’t think I could have had that experience if I stayed at the chuck. Okay, but working at a high-end gallery, that could serve as a stepping stone, and then it could put you in the position to maybe start dealing with, let’s just call it, more notable art. Yeah, and i appreciate that, but… I’m not interested in merely accepting a job just to use as a stepping stone to get to something better. The most important thing to me isn’t the notability of the art, but rather something more meaningful. I want to feel fulfilled and have a sense that I was part of a process. It’s about personal growth to me, not just an impressive title. Yeah, okay, I can understand that. It’s just that, working here, you really have your hands full, and it definitely increases the odds that you will fall off of one of these ladders. That was your fault, spencer. Yeah, maybe. But if you worked at the chuck, come on, you’d have a whole support staff. Am I wrong? Outsourcers?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you can call them what you want to call them. It’s just a lot. I’m starting school again. I-I still have to move into the dorms. I’ve been trying to make curtis feel as comfortable as possible since coming back from rehab. I’m trying not to neglect my relationship with my dad, and it just — it —

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I just went on a whole rampage of complaining. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, no.I’m just feeling really frazzled right now. You never need to apologize for venting to me. It’s okay. It’s okay. That’s what I’m here for. I want to know everything about you. And I want to participate in your life as much as I possibly can. Lately, that doesn’t feel like it’s been possible. We haven’t gotten any alone time together. Well, that’s exactly why I’m here. Trina, I think I may have fixed that. Uh, no, I don’t go to pcu. Just here to help joss move in. Yeah. We’re — we’re kind of in a rush. Adam: Oh. We’re trying to get all this stuff together before trina comes back. Hey, I’m — I’m putting together a study group for organic chem. I was just wondering if — do you want to join? Oh, uh, I’ll think about it. Yeah, for sure — have you gotten the book yet? It’s a really tough class. I mean, I wouldn’t recommend not having a study group. You don’t want to fall behind in class just because you got distracted. You know what I mean? Yeah. No, for sure. Yeah. Um, I can’t commit to anything right now until I kind of check out my schedule and stuff. Yeah. Okay. Um, but I’ll let you know. Yeah. We’re just, you know — we’re kind of in a rush. I’m sorry. But it was good to see you. Good to see you. Bye. I’m sorry about that. He has a point. About what? Hey. Hi. Have you seen the breakfast rush downstairs in the garden? It must be this great september weather bringing everybody out. Maybe we should have kept the pool open until the end of the month. Uh, you’re in a good mood this morning. Oh, why shouldn’t I be? You know, I really thought it was the end for sonny. He really — he had me worried. I thought his luck had finally run out. And then, what? Charges dropped. He’s a free man. I guess you must be as relieved as I am, huh?

[ Sighs ] No offense, sonny, but this place is full of your enemies on both sides of the cell.Yeah, I’m — I’m aware of that. But anything that you could do to help me, I’d be very grateful. I mean, if I ask the wrong person, this could blow up in a bad way. Well, the most important thing is for you to stay safe. I will. I’m not crazy about you doing this. I’m not. I need you to keep your head down and do your time so we can get you the hell out of here. I’m doing my best. Diane thinks she’s found grounds to have your sentence reduced. I don’t want you to do anything that’s going to mess that up. We both want sonny corinthos off the street and out of our way. And if I would have given the feds accurate information, he’d be well on his way to a life in pentonville, locked up where he belongs. And I would have done the great state of new york a huge benefit, and it certainly wouldn’t have hurt my career. Do you think I wanted to give you wrong information? I’m still wondering how it happened. The feds booked and arrested him with what seemed like an airtight case and then, suddenly, all charges are dropped? Well, I’ll task you with finding out exactly how and why that happened. That would be the stupidest thing I could possibly do. I am not putting myself back out on the chopping block to get information on him. Oh, is that so? Well, I am not here to arrest you. I’m here to apologize to you both. I should have believed you. I know better than anyone how selfless you can be when the chips are down, how far you’ll go to help someone. And if I listened to you, I would have taken action a lot sooner. And, sasha, I-I don’t even know — words can’t convey how I feel about what gladys has done to you and how she’s betrayed your trust. And I am so very sorry. Why would she do this? She said that she loved me and that we were family.

Turks and caicos. I want to take you!

[ Chuckles ] We’re going to go to new york city first, and then we’ll have dinner, and we can see a show, and then we’ll continue on to the islands afterwards. Isn’t it hurricane season? Yeah. Trina, “isn’t it hurricane –” yes, it’s the best time to go, because the surfing is so good. Trina, you need this. I need this. We both need to get away for a little while. Okay, what — what about ace and esme? What are you going to do about that situation? It’s taken care of. I’m going to have my aunt alexis check in on ace every once in a while. And esme isn’t really one of my concerns. Uh, my grandmother will be back any day now. Trina, we never have any quality time alone here in port charles. We’re always getting interrupted by this or that. I mean, how nice would it be for us to just go away for a little while, have some time alone, be able to focus on us and only us and our relationship? It’d be nice. No, I can’t go with you. Honestly, I don’t know what nikolas was capable of that night. But after losing kiki the way I did, the way she died… seeing her lying there like that… not moving… begging her to wake up. Wake up. I couldn’t take any chances with avery. You understand that, don’t you? She’s all I’ve got left. And I will protect her with everything I’ve got. Yes, it was incredible when sonny was set free. And I know you have a special relationship with him. You guys have a long history, but come on, olivia. There must be another reason why you’re in such a good mood. Well, leo and I went to the recording studio with ned — or eddie yesterday, and I got to tell you, he was so great with leo. He was — he was telling him all about different gigs that he’d played in the past and really getting him involved in the — in the music-making process. And I’ll tell you what. It really is. It’s such a process, you know? Well, it sounds like the three of you had an eventful day. We did. We really, really did. And the song, nina, it’s amazing. It’s — it’s — it’s earthy. It’s — it’s gritty. It’s very, very moving. I heard him talk about it as, uh, “rootsy” and acoustic. It was — I mean, eddie is — he’s such a talented musician. It’s — olivia, you keep calling him eddie and not ned. It isn’t worth you spending an extra day in pentonville, especially if you’re going to make enemies of your own. I am very accustomed to assessing risk. I can handle this. We know you can. But do you want to? It’s very dangerous. Sonny got me out of solitary. This is the least I can do. I’m — I’m happy to help. Okay. You have to be careful. Promise me you’ll be careful. It sounds like mason and whoever austin’s boss is has been causing a lot of trouble for you lately, and I want to help. Whoever their boss is has made a lot of trouble for me and people I care about. That seems to be escalating. I have to deal with this one way or another, but one way you can help is let me know who they’re reporting to. Alright? I got it. I’ll — I’ll do what I can. I’ll keep my head down. Drew? You never… promise you’ll be careful. I promise I will be careful. I love you. I love you. Well, he’s doing it. Bringing down sonny corinthos is but one step in my quest to truly turn my life around. As you know, I recently donated my money to the rodden institute to end recidivism. I know. A smart and strategic move. It pleased you and your close friend, judge sinclair. And it was convenient for me that the judge sits on the charity’s board of directors. Yes. Very advantageous. But not unlike your passion project to work with former convicts, all your remarkable efforts creating those impressive work study programs, this has not gone unnoticed. Very strategic of you, as well. And how many articles have I read in the invader about your extraordinary leadership? The press holds you in very high regard. Judge sinclair’s decision to place me at pentonville is a testament to just that. A decision that could be easily reversed. I sense a threat in your statement. Are you threatening me? “Ye have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Keep your nose clean.

Gladys is brando’s mother. She was with us when we lost liam. She’s — she’s the only family that I have. H-how could she betray me like this? Well, I have my own opinion about gladys, but, uh… she’s a weak person and she put herself in a, uh, really difficult spot. What kind of difficult spot? She played poker in a game sponsored by selina wu. How do you know that? ‘Cause I played in the same games. Sasha, my, uh — my job was to win for selina. And I saw firsthand gladys lost a lot, way more than she could repay on her own. So she used your money. First, she sold brando’s garage. Then she must have started raiding your bank accounts. The only way she could cover her debts was if she stayed in control of your money. When I wanted to end the guardianship, gladys — she tried to talk me out of it. She said that I wasn’t ready and that I-I was making a mistake. But it wasn’t about me at all. It was about my money. The harder I pushed eddie to be ned, the further I was pushing him away from — from me and from his family. I had to make a decision to accept eddie for who he is now, instead of trying to make him who he used to be. And who he is, he loves music. That is his passion, and for good reason, too. I’m telling you, nina, he is so talented, and he was so generous sharing that part of himself with leo. It really — it opened up a whole world for him. And — and, yeah, maybe he put me in touch with a part of myself that — that I almost forgot existed. You’re having a really good time with eddie. What does that mean? Are you falling for eddie maine? Do you not necessarily want ned back? I should get back downstairs. I got work to do. There’s other study groups besides adam’S. Okay? He’s just a lot sometimes. But he’s also pre-med, like you. Yeah. He goes to pcu. He’s going to be a doctor like you. Mm-hmm. I’m still going to be working for sonny. Those are very different worlds.

[ Gasps ] Are you dumping me because I’m pre-med?

[ Chuckles ] No. I would hate to think that you were biased against higher education. Oh, trust me when I say I think everything about you is amazing. Mm. I feel the same way about you. Aren’t I supposed to be helping you move in? Oh. No, you’re right. I’m s-sorry. No, you’re right.

[ Laughs ] Come on, trina. Hey, this is going to be fun, and this is going to be a great way for you to decompress before your semester starts at pcu. Yeah, I-I know it would, but I don’t think right now would be a good time to go away. My mom and curtis are still walking on eggshells, and I just want to be there to help. Yeah. Yeah, totally. But you’re going to be in constant contact with them. You’re going to be a phone call away. I don’t think that either curtis or your mother want you to curtail your life for them. I think they could probably use the alone time themselves. No, no, not with school starting right around the corner and — trina, why are you letting school stand in the way of you wanting to live your life? Trina, you’re so talented, and I’m certain that you could accomplish anything that you want to in life. So I really don’t understand why you feel like you need to do this school thing so that you can earn a piece of paper that validates your intelligence. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Look, I appreciate your vote of confidence in me, but you come from money, spencer. Trina, my ancestry may be russian royalty, but it doesn’t mean that they didn’t have to work hard. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but they did. Look, all I can say is that I value education. And pcu has inspired me. So I don’t think taking a trip right now would be the smartest thing, especially in a hurricane zone. Okay. No. No. Okay. I just thought that it would be nice for us to get away. You didn’t let me finish. We can still go to new york and see a show and spend time together, just the two of us. I don’t think we have anything more to say to each other right now.

[ Buzzer ] Please take the prisoner back to his cell. Thank you, warden. I appreciate such a warm and supportive ear.

---

Hey. Hey. It’s going to be okay. I’m here. You tried to tell me so many times, cody, and I refused to listen. And now what are we going to do? I mean, w-we’re both escaped mental patients, cody. We’re fugitives. Dante: Well, you’re fugitives with friends. And there is a way out of this. With the four of us working together, we’ll figure it out. Yes! Yes, yes. Oh, my gosh! That’s so exciting. Okay, cool. I’m going to show you my favorite restaurant. It’s right near washington square park. And I can take you to my favorite pizza parlor and my favorite bakery. And — yes, okay. I will send you a list of shows, and then you will pick the one that you want to see or the two that you want to see or the three that you want to see. And we’ll go see all of them if we need to. Okay. Um, good. Yes. This is going to be fun. I’m so sick of, like, having to steal these little moments away with you, and I’m just ready for us to have a little bit of uninterrupted time with each other, you know? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, I’m going to go make some calls. Okay. I’ll talk to you later. Okay. Alright. Well, what’s the best suite you have? Is it a special occasion? Yeah. Yes, it’s going to be a very special weekend. I promise you something. I promise that I’ll lean on mason. I-I’ll do everything I can. Okay? But please promise me something. Promise me that you’ll be patient. Promise me that you won’t go talk to sonny. Nothing good can come of that. You know that more than I do. I meant what I said. I will go to sonny if I don’t get what I was promised.

[ Door closes ] You okay? I’m worried. Look, I-I know that drew is your best shot at finding out who austin visited here, and you need that information to keep yourself and our family safe. It just — I hate that it’s happening. All I need is for drew to give me one name. And I will take care of the rest. Hey. Hey. How you been? Honestly can’t complain. How’s your son doing? He’s doing really well. Yeah, he got a summer job this year at a pizza place.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Isn’t he graduating from pcu this spring? Yes, he is. Nice. Mm-hmm. Might be able to get him an internship at aurora media, if that’d be something he’d be interested in. What would you want in return? I’d get him the internship regardless, but, uh… there is little information that I’d be interested in. That’s about what I figured. What is it you want to know? Nothing major. Oh. August 23rd, a doctor came here from G.H., Austin gatlin-holt. Mm. All I need to know is who he came into contact with and who he came to see.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 [ Vehicle approaches ] Hm! I’d know that car anywhere. Five, four, three, two, one! Lucy! What a surprise. Ha. Is it, though? Is it really a surprise? We’ll see. Hey, chase, have you seen my — phone? Yes. You left it in the bathroom again. Thank you. I know I should not check my social media while I’m blow-drying my hair, but it’s a bad habit. Mm-hmm. Oh! Well, that’s a good habit. I’ll say. I’m almost tempted to suggest that we call in sick for work, but I know you’d never consider it, right? Well, you know I can’t call in sick. But maybe… just maybe… …I could show up a little late.

[ Knock on door ] Hi, chase. Hi. Brook lynn here? Mason: Ava. What are you doing here? The gallery’s not open. Door was unlocked. Well, the sign says “closed,” and I have nothing to say to you, so — ava, shut up! You set us up. The boss is pissed. That’s not good. I was just playing with donna’s paper dolls. She was, like, making a parade or something. Yeah. I heard all about it. The celebration for when daddy comes home. Yeah. Let’s just say things haven’t been great in donna’s dollworld the last few days. Yeah, I know. So? How’d you explain to her what happened? I just told her that the fbi made a mistake and I had to stay with the fbi until they cleared it up and, uh… everything’s — everything’s good now and there’s nothing to worry about. We both know that’s not true. Anna. Hey, it’s dante. Look. I just want to let you know I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m just waiting on confirmation on something, and once I have it, you’ll be interested to see it, for sure. So, um, I’ll talk to you soon. Okay. Bye. You’re up. Yeah, you too. You had an early class? I did a little yoga, yes. And I feel centered. You should try it sometime. Maybe I will. Mmm! Seeing as you’re centered, maybe it’s a good time to talk about what to do about our friends the fugitives. Sasha? Sasha! Sasha? Hey! Sasha!

---

I’m relieved and grateful that the charges against you were dropped. Thank you. And not just because of the kids. I mean, I don’t want to see you suffer. I feel the same way. I don’t believe for one second that the fbi made a “mistake.” They obviously had enough evidence against you. So what happened? The feds were expecting something not exactly legal, and what they found was… incredible coffee. Which you only receive at the warehouse, never at the pier. And you never ship coffee in the middle of the night, so there must have been a reason for you to have it at the docks. It’s almost like you knew the fbi was gonna bust you. Well, I didn’t know that was gonna happen, but I did, you know, lay some false breadcrumbs to feed my enemies. What enemy? That’s what I’m gonna find out. And I will. You made a real mistake trying to play the boss. Leave, mason, or I’ll call the cops. You’re trespassing.

[ Chuckles ] Really? You’re gonna call the police, ava? When I have evidence that you murdered your ex-husband? Don’t forget who has the body with your dna all over it. We had a deal. I did my part. No. We know what you did, ava. The deal was that you help us. In exchange, you get the body. But you — you decided to double-cross us. That is absolutely untrue! The evidence, the — the information that betty brought back was false! It was a setup! That means sonny was warned, and the only person that could have done that was you, ava! Did you come to discuss the case or do you want to make a deal? First, I’d like information. I understand. So there’s a thing called discovery. It’s what lawyers do. Your lawyer can contact my lawyer, and all of your questions can be answered… in six months when the trial — if and when we go to trial. And, by the way, discovery ends I think two weeks before the trial. I know that. And you know I don’t have time to wait. I need answers now. I understand. But unfortunately that’s not the way the legal system works. You are going to have to be patient. Is there something else I could help you with? You know, lucy, this could all go away. 75/25. I’ve taken the liberty of drawing up the papers. There’s just a few places to sign, and I’ve marked them.

[ Chuckles ] Gee. Thank you so much. I am not signing anything. Isn’t that why you’re here? To make a deal? No. There’s no deal. Can we just stop this? Can we stop and just drop the pretense, okay? I know you don’t have any of the schematics on the deceptor. I — I know that. Prove it. Prove you got something. You know? Show me what you got. Maxie. Hi. I was just about to head to the office. Oh, that’s what I thought. And your new digs are on the way from my new digs, so I figured I’d take a chance and see if you were still here. Can I get you a cup of coffee, maxie? Oh, no, chase. I don’t want to hold you up. I know how much policing you have to do this afternoon. And with mac as commissioner, I know what a demon he can be about his officers being on time, so… yeah, you’re right about that. I’m gonna skip that lecture today. Thank you very much. I love you. Don’t work too hard. -Goodbye, maxie. -Bye, chase.

[ Door closes ] So? How’d the move go?I didn’t stop by to catch up. Why did you give the deceptor information to tracy? The best way you can help cody and sasha is to stay as ignorant as possible. Hm. Yeah. The problem is, I can’t ignore that a friend of mine escaped a mental facility and took one of its patients with him. Yeah, but we’ve been over this last night. You need deniability. Look.

[ Sighs ] I get it, and I appreciate that you want to protect me. Well, of course, I want to protect you. I love you. And I know you love being a cop. And I don’t want you to do anything to compromise that. I get it, but… I love you… and I want to protect you, too. Oh. Yeah. It seems I’m not the only one who could be compromised by this whole thing. I got an update on the case, and for helping cody, you made yourself an accessory to kidnapping and assault. Wait. What assault?

[ Sighs ] Cody attacked sasha’s psychiatrist, a guy named dr. Montague. Wait. Did you just say dr. Montague? It feels so good to breathe fresh air. To smell the forest instead of disinfectant. Good morning, sasha. I have no idea how long I was at ferncliff, but… I remember laying on that bed just wishing that I was outside… feel the sun on my face… to breathe freely. And here I am. Because of you. So you’re not mad at me for busting you out of there? I’ve never been more grateful to anyone in my life.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, you’re welcome. Well, aside from being able to breathe freely… how are you really feeling? I’m confused, cody. What actually happened last night?

---

Any word on the apb on cody bell and sasha gilmore? No sightings yet, sir. Alright. Let me know immediately the moment that changes. Commissioner. Deputy mayor. A word? The fbi busts sonny corinthos… then lets him go. And meanwhile, we’ve got two escaped mental patients running around. What the hell is going on here, mac? What do you remember, sasha? I remember being in more pain than I’ve ever felt. I remember being terrified that someone — you — were gonna hurt me. But you didn’T. You sat with me. You helped me. You had pretty severe withdrawal symptoms. The doctors and the nurses keep saying that I was using, that I had someone slipping me drugs. But I swear, cody! I didn’t! Hey. Sasha.

[ Stammers ] I know. I believe you. Why? Why would you? Everyone knows that I have gotten clean before and then relapsed. There’s a huge stigma in the meetings against people who slip back into using. Why wouldn’t you think that I’ve gone the same way? Well, two reasons. One, you told me. And, two, I know exactly who was drugging you. It was dr. Montague. I ran into dr. Montague, literally, at G.H. When we were there for cody’s evaluation. Look. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I-I didn’t know he had anything to do with sasha. And I accidentally spilled a cup of coffee on his phone, and I was, like, washing it off, and a call came in from a “gladys.” Not a very common name. No, it’s not. Dante, this could be the smoking gun that proves that gladys messed with sasha, just like cody said. And if dr. Montague is the psychiatrist… or — or…

because he’s sasha’s psychiatrist. Gladys called him to get an update on her prognosis because she’s sasha’s guardian. Okay, well, there is a-another thing that I didn’t — I didn’t tell you. So, I mentioned something offhand about playing cards, and he said that he had a game that he played in regularly and said that there would be a spot for me. I got the feeling he was talking high stakes. The game at the savoy. Poker game in the back room. And we both know that gladys loves to gamble. So maybe gladys met dr. Montague there. Come on, lucy. You should know better than to ask me that. Hm. What I want to know better is why. Why do you think you actually own the rights to the deceptor? Do you even have a prototype? Do you know the word “prototype”? I can’t believe you don’t understand that I will not comment on that. Just tell me. How did you get it? My lawyer told me not to discuss the case. There isn’t a case! All you have is your attempt to steal the deceptor through legal intimidation! You know what I think? I think this is about you. You want to get revenge on me ’cause you can’t stand your nasty, miserable life. Hm. Tempting bait. But I won’t bite. There’s a deal on the table, and you are here because you realize this is your best and only option. So why don’t you save us a lot of trouble? Just give me what I want. 75% of deception. Why would I? Sonny and I have been fighting over our daughter since the day she was born. So you’d want to get in his good books. That — that’s absurd. He would wonder what kind of leverage you had over me, and then I would have to tell him about nikolas’ accidental death. And then he would take avery away from me in a heartbeat! I did exactly as I was told. I got betty hired. I made sure that she had open access to sonny’s home. Now, if betty screwed up and got you bad information, well, I think that’s your fault for using someone incompetent. It certainly has nothing to do with me. All I know is dr. Gatlin-holt and his cousin mason work for this person, and they pressured ava into getting information about me. Pressured ava how? I mean, do they have something on her? Are they blackmailing her? That’s need-to-know, carly, and I don’t think you need to know. I need to know if you’re protecting ava.

---

As you can see,it’s quite straightforward. All you have to do is sign and then you continue working at the company and you reap the benefits of the deceptor and anything else deception expands into. Did you come here to waste my time? 75/25 is off the table. I did not put my heart and my soul into a company just to give it away for some measly percentage. No. I do understand. After all the work you put into the company, it would be difficult to give up any amount, any percentage. So if not 75/25, what would you be amenable to? Well, you know, deception is a whole lot more than just the deceptor. So I guess if — and that’s a great, big, fat “if” — you came up with a similar product at the exact same time and can prove it, then maybe I would settle for… 50/50.

[ Laughs ] Lucy. Lucy, you’re way off base. 65/35. It’s complicated, maxie. So I take that as a “yes.” You stole the information and gave it to tracy. Maxie — I don’t know why I didn’t see this sooner. You left deception because you wanted to get back into music, and then all of a sudden, you’re — you’re back. Lucy was under the impression that I rehired you, but you led me to believe that lucy had when the whole time you were really working for tracy. You took advantage of our friendship and my trust so you could steal information about our most valuable product! Yes, maxie. That’s exactly what I did. What are you doing about it, mac? We have an apb on the two ferncliff inmates. It’s cody bell and sasha gilmore. Sasha? She was committed right after stabbing cody. Is it possible he may have taken her for revenge? It’s highly unlikely. Look, I know cody. I’m convinced he means her no harm. Sounds like you might have an idea why he took her. It’s been reported as a kidnapping. I don’t think it was a kidnapping. Okay. I’ve learned to trust your instincts, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are fugitives and have to be found.

[ Police radio chatter ] How can I help you? Agent moss. I’m here to see commissioner scorpio. He’s in the interrogation room. I can show agent moss in. -Thank you. -Right this way. Mac: Come in. Mac, I have agent moss here for you. Bring him in. I assume you’re here with information on the sonny corinthos case. The person I’m protecting, carly, is avery. It’s not — it’s not good for her to have her mother put in the middle of something shady. What did ava do? Uh, she came into my place looking for something, and she didn’t get it, and then they made it look like pilar messed up so ava would fire her. Pilar was a setup? Yeah, and then they pressured ava into hiring betty, which is their plant. So mason and austin sent betty to get information on you, and ava had to go along. Oh, my god. No wonder she was so worried about betty. I was wondering why she hired someone she didn’t like. She didn’t have a choice. I didn’t have a choice. So what I did was switch the game. Instead of betty playing fetch with them, I had her deliver a parcel from me. Which was…? Exactly what they were looking for. But, you know, brick and I, we kind of made a few modifications. You gave them false information. So austin and mason must have taken the bait back to their boss. That’s why you asked me about austin’s visit to pentonville. So you think their boss, your enemy, is someone inside pentonville. Cody admitted that he was playing poker for selina wu, and he said that gladys was in there and she lost big. Well, that’s convenient, seeing as gladys controls all of sasha’s money, right? Not to mention she sold brando’s garage. Do you think she’s really using these funds to repay debts? Yeah, I do, dante. I mean, it certainly seems like that. Just think about it. Sasha was doing so much better. Maxie was going around telling everyone how well she handled that tv show, and sasha was working so hard to end her conservatorship so she can have control of her own assets. And if sasha was able to do that, she would have seen what gladys was doing with the money and gladys wouldn’t have wanted that to happen. No. Gladys had to make sure sasha stayed “mentally unfit.” So gladys must have met montague at the poker game and gotten him to help her do something to sasha. Son of A… dante… dr. Montague gave me injections. He — he said that they were to help me get off the drugs. But I kept telling him that I wasn’t on any drugs. I never bought anything from anybody. Okay. Alright. Now, sasha, this is — this is really important. Okay. When you went live on that show, “home & heart,” you did great, right? Y-you kept your cool under a very stressful situation. Were you on any medication at all at that time? Just my antidepressant. I have been taking them for eight months, but they were prescribed by my old psychiatrist. Okay. Well, what about after that? Any other medications? Yes. I was taking the pills dr. Montague gave me.

---

So you admit it, and you’rejust gonna stand there like you stole my yogurt from the work fridge. No, maxie. Okay? I am not trying to minimize what I did. I am so, so sorry. But I swear I had no idea what tracy was gonna do with that information about the deceptor. Really? Yes. I mean, you, better than anyone, should know what a schemer tracy is. Did you think she was just too cheap to buy one so she was gonna build one for herself? She said she wanted to know about it. Tracy always has an agenda, brook lynn! You had to know she was gonna use that information against us! I was desperate, maxie! I owed tracy big-time, okay? And this is how she collected. Listen. Maxie… when chase was kicked off the police force for defending me, I was supposed to write a letter to help him get reinstated, but I hesitated because I was too selfish, you know, too scared of losing him. But I knew I had to fix it. So I went to my grandmother. She said she could pull some strings, get him a second hearing. It was like an angel had come down to earth to right all of the wrongs. Well, that angel quickly turned demon when she threatened to go tell chase unless I got her the information on the deceptor. And you know how much chase hates being manipulated. Stop! I have heard enough.

[ Scoffs ] We are not in high school anymore, brook lynn. You put my job, my livelihood at risk because you couldn’t be honest with your boyfriend?!

[ Scoffs ] Didn’t he break up with you once before because you lied to him? Have you learned nothing? You are absolutely impossible. Lucy, you really don’t have any other options. You can let deception slide into oblivion as the case drags on for months with appeals and delays. Then, of course, you’ll have your real-estate business. I think the quartermaines have some swamp land in putnam county that you can offload. 60/40. Okay? That way, you get to keep control ’cause that’s what you love, is control, and I keep a decent share. But…there will be a clause that you cannot remove me as ceo and you cannot take me off

any of my board positions. Okay? Lucy… throughout our history, there is one thing I have come to bank on. You’re a grifter. You’ll always take care of number one. But I do understand that the disparity in our percentages is disconcerting. Even a tiny amount could be humiliating. So I am feeling extremely generous today. How about 51/49? That’s just a 1% difference. 51/49. Really? Deal. Hm. Okay, well, then, uh, I guess we’ll get in touch with each other to draw up that paperwork, shall we? Lucy. There’s one other detail. The deal is contingent upon you returning the 1% voting rights in elq. Commissioner, I’d like a private talk. Deputy mayor ashford was the police commissioner before she took over for the mayor. And she worked for the dea. Detective chase is one of our finest. Anything you can say to me, you can say to them. When we arrested sonny corinthos and raided his shipment, we were acting on information that he was illegally transporting classified weapons. The charges were dropped because there was nothing in the crates but coffee. Sounds like sonny was one step ahead of you. He was. But he won’t always be. I have a few ideas who my enemy might be inside pentonville, but I’m not quite sure. But the — the only connection there is is between my false information that betty stole and my arrest is gatlin-holt’s trip to pentonville. I had them both followed after betty delivered the goods. Mason went to some “working girl.” And austin went to pentonville. Oh. That mason sounds like a great guy. I’m thinking austin, uh, was there to give some information to someone. And then, in turn, the fbi got it. I think they’re trying to take me down or they’re just trying to get points with the feds. Or both. So you need to know who austin saw during his visit at pentonville. Well, that’s where you can help me out. Really? If you’re willing. Sonny didn’t get where he is by being stupid. He’s more than capable of picking up on that sociopathic gleam in betty’s eyes. You know, maybe betty’s sweet act wasn’t as convincing as you thought it would be. Has that ever occurred to you? Well, maybe sonny realized that she was a plant and he decided to turn the tables. And that would — yeah, I’m pretty sure that would make this your fault, wouldn’t it, mason, for using the wrong operative. Not a story I’d want to take back to my boss. Well, take this back to your boss. I did my part. I just want this to be over. I didn’t say anything to sonny! I don’t intend to say anything to sonny! My life and the lives of the people I care about matter too much to me. We’ll be in touch.

---

I-I’m sorry. Just — I’m sorry. I — just — ugh! I’ve never — I’ve never liked gladys. You know? She just — I just didn’t trust her. And she just — she seemed all moneygrubbing. And — and she — she lied all the time. But I thought she was basically harmless, you know? And she was sonny’s family. A-and mike liked her. I mean, poor brando, man. I mean, he was a good guy, and he had gladys as a mother? And I thought, you know, when he — when he died, that — that she cared and she would want to do right by his widow. But — but I guess not. I mean… cody saw through her. Hey, hey. Hey. You had no way of knowing. No, sam. I’m a detective. I mean, come on. I was blinded. You know, cody was talking about her for months, but my — my own stupid misgivings about him, like, messed up my judgment. I mean, you knew. You knew. Y-you said it. Why didn’t I listen? Why did I let it get this far? After my second session with dr. Montague, he gave me some pills for anxiety. Okay, well, what was the prescription for? It — he just gave me a bottle of pills. Told me to take three a day, which I did. You didn’t even know what you were taking? I’m sorry, sasha. Cody, it — it all started then. I remember I was feeling so impulsive, full of energy. I-I wanted to celebrate everything. And I had no control. I was — I couldn’t keep track of things, but I-I didn’t care. That’s when the shoplifting incident happened. You were taking the pills the whole time? Three a day. Montague was drugging you long before you got sent to ferncliff. But why, cody? Why would he do it? This goes no further than the room. Mac: Of course. We believe mr. Corinthos

is involved in the trafficking and sale of these restricted weapons. While we haven’t been able to prove it, this is an ongoing investigation with suspected ties to both the government and private sector. We’ll continue to monitor corinthos. What does the fbi expect from the pcpd in terms of cooperation? Corinthos has a son here in the department. Detective dante falconeri. He was present at his father’s arraignment. If there’s any reason to suspect that detective falconeri is feeding sonny information or providing any kind of assistance, we want to know about it. You have been waiting years and years and years to spring this on me, haven’t you?! You can’t stand the fact that I have 1% of your family legacy. You wormed your way into my family by taking advantage of my brother’s weakness. You had an affair with him when he was married to monica. Okay. So we’re gonna bring this up now? Okay. Really? Really?! You know, monica was to blame, too, because she slept with your son ned. The point is… you blackmailed me into appointing you co-ceo. That is one of my biggest regrets. And that is ancient, ancient history! Why in the world are you dredging that up now?! Because I am here to prevent the quartermaine ship from running aground. Somebody has to get this family back on course. And if my son can’t do it, then I have to do it. Lucy coe, you have clung to my family like a barnacle. And it’s time we scrape off everything that doesn’t belong. And that means you. 1% voting rights in elq! And that is my final offer!

Never. Ha. We’ll see.

[ Door slams ] Listen to me. I know how this sounds. And I am not making excuses. But I love chase, more than I ever thought was possible, and all I cared about was getting him his badge back. And when he did, when things were looking up for us, I just — I didn’t want to ruin it. I was weak, maxie. So I gave in to tracy’s demands. And when I — I finally mustered up enough courage to stand up to her, I was too late. She already had the information on the deceptor. Why didn’t you come to me? After everything we went through with bailey lou. Why didn’t you trust me, brook lynn? We could have schemed up a solution together. Instead… you betrayed me.

---

Hello to you, too. Our mutual friend just left. Oh, I think she’s gonna fold. No. This is a perfect time to come and visit. Port charles is beautiful in the fall. You’re right. In hindsight, I-I should have come to you. I would have helped you. I don’t know. I — I was just too ashamed, too stupid. I thought I could handle it. Handle tracy? I had no idea what she was planning, maxie! I could never have foreseen sasha’s meltdown or the fact that the deceptor would be our only moneymaker. I could have never planned for any of that. Maxie, look. I messed up. And I will do everything in my power to make it right. Okay? I’ll — I’ll come up with a social-media campaign against tracy, and it’ll go viral. Come on, maxie. We can still — we can handle this. We can make it right. That’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna let that happen. You’ve proven you cannot be trusted. You’re fired. No. Maxie, please. I’ll work for free. Please. Just let me make it right. Brook lynn… that ship has sailed.

[ Door closes ] Austin, where the hell are you? Your cousin was just here again making crazy accusations. I can’t take this anymore. And I’m telling you, austin, if he drags me under, you’re coming down with me. Am I willing to help you get the answer? Am I willing to help you, period? I mean, there was a time when I would have jumped in. I would have said “yes” immediately. But now, you know…

[ Chuckles ] Not so much? Is this gonna endanger drew or affect his sentence in any way? No, not at all. I don’t know. Sonny, so much has happened, you know? So much has changed between us. I understand.

Do you understand or are you just saying that because you want me to do what you want me to do? No, I understand that things have changed, but one thing

hasn’t changed — that, you know, like, y-you would do anything for me, I would do anything for you. And, you know, I’m always there for you. I know. And I know you wouldn’t ask me if it wasn’t serious. And if someone’s gunning for you, that means they can come after my kids. So, yes, of course, I’m in. What do you need me to do? I’ll tell you on the way to pentonville. How could you have known what was going on? Gladys is a snake, and she’s cunning, and she had to keep sasha in the guardianship so she could have access to her money. And that meant convincing everyone, including you, that she had sasha’s best interests at heart. Bottom line is I should have just listened to cody. I didn’t — I didn’t believe him at first. But, I mean, come on. He hasn’t exactly been 100% honest with either one of us. No. I know. He hasn’t, but… he said sasha was being drugged the whole time. Even after she stabbed him, he said it wasn’t her. I mean, what did — what did — how long has she been on these drugs? What is she taking? I-I don’t know. We will figure that out. The important thing is that cody cared enough to go into ferncliff and get sasha out. I think he saved her life. I got to see him. I got to talk to cody. You gotta trust me, baby, and take me to where they’re hiding. Cody, I never even met dr. Montague until he was assigned to evaluate me. What possible motive could he have for drugging me? I’m guessing that he was being paid. Paid? By who? By the person who did have a motive. Your mother-in-law. Gladys.

General Hospital Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Kristina: Is that so, Violet?

Violet: Aunt Elizabeth and daddy beat Kelly’s.

Well, no, to be clear, the G.H. team beat the Kelly’s team.

Ooh! Carly’s going to be mad.

21 to 4.

Oh, heads will roll.

PC!

PD!

PC!

PD!

PC!

PD!

[ Both laugh ]

All hail the conquering heroes.

Am I to assume this means you won, also?

Well, it was tough, but we pulled it through, yeah.

Wow. Well, well, well. I guess it wasn’t the bloodbath G.H. inflicted on Kelly’s?

G.H. did sort of wipe the floor with them.

Oh, coming from the nurse.

Head cheerleader. But I am going to play the next game.

And you’d better, too. The fire department would have wiped the floor with us if your sister didn’t step up for your brother.

Guilty as charged.

Sounds like “Game of Thrones.”

Hey, what do you say we, uh, get this party started?

Drinks on Chase?

Whoa. I’m just kidding.

Oh.

Kristina: No, actually, this is — this is the perfect time for that. Drinks on the house. First round is on me.

Aww, thank you, Kristina.

Kristina: Yeah. Charlie’s supports the winners.

Whoo!

Dante: Hey, what’s going on? So did we win?

Sam: Oh, we won, alright. And you had nothing to do with it.

Dante: I don’t know about that. Looks like I had lots to do with it.

---

Nina: So what do you think? Good to be home?

Sonny: It’s good to be home with you.

---

Nurse Janice: And that’s when he assaulted the doctor and took his clothes. He was already on his way out with the patient when I realized who he was. I initiated lockdown protocol, but it was already too late. They were gone.

Detective: Okay. And what were the patients’ names?

Nurse Janice: Sasha Gilmore and Cody Bell.

---

Cody: Hey, Sasha. Hey, stay with me. Stay with me. You’re doing great. You’re doing great. We’re almost there. Okay, Sam. Let’s see if I can find this key in the wood pile. Here. Can you hold yourself up?

Sasha: Mm-hmm.

Cody: Alright. Bingo. Okay. Come here. Hey. I got you. I got you. Here, come on. Alright? Hey. We made it. [ Chuckles ]

---

Oh then you take me by the hand I feel better again oh I feel better now

Shirley Temple for the victorious Violet and seltzers for the champions.

Finn: Oh, thank you, but champions may be a bit of an overstatement.

Elizabeth: Oh, don’t be so modest, Finn.

Violet: Don’t be sad, Daddy. Everyone strikes out sometimes.

Finn: Thank you, Violet. You know, but hitting is just part of the game, right? There’s also the defense, the — the catch I made at the fence and saved that home run.

And another part of the game is running. Too bad you got tagged out at second.

Finn: Mm-hmm. But at least I made it to first, right? You know, we can’t all be speed demons on the bases like you.

Violet: Yeah, how did you get so good?

Elizabeth: Hmm? Well, I do have three boys. It’s a lot of backyard practice, especially with Jake. Talk about a speed demon. Where is he?

Violet: Jake never showed up to the game.

I’ll be back.

---

Willow: Your sister is so sweet.

Michael: Well, she cares about you.

Willow: I just wish everyone wouldn’t worry so much. I mean, my numbers are great. They’re holding steady.

Michael: I cannot hear that enough. You know, you’re my miracle, Willow, in so many ways.

Willow: Well, it was nice to be just another person shouting, cheering in the bleachers today, watching the G.H. team beat the pants off Kelly’s. It was so much fun. It felt so normal. It had nothing to do with my illness. I was just glad to forget about being sick for a while.

Michael: I’m glad. I just wish I was there to share it with you.

Willow: Well, you had somewhere much more important to be.

Yeah. Beers all around. Thank you. Okay, so what are we drinking to, our win or Sonny beating the rap?

To Sonny.

To Sonny.

To Sonny.

To Sonny, then.

No? You’re not —

Kristina: I’m working.

---

Sonny: You okay?

Nina: I’m really flattered that you’re asking about me, Sonny, but I’m not the one that was dragged from The Metro Court by the FBI and in custody for 72 hours.

Sonny: Worst part for me was getting arrested. Seeing Kristina and Wiley’s face, they were upset. And then I saw your face, and it wasn’t good.

Nina: No, it wasn’t. I was scared to death.

Sonny: Okay.

Nina: You know, those agents, they came in there, and they looked so confident. And I couldn’t help but think that you were going to be convicted and spend the rest of your life in prison.

Sonny: Nina, let’s not go down that road.

Nina: I-I can’t help it, because if you would have been found guilty, we would have already had our last day together and not known it.

Sonny: I’m sorry that I scared you.

Nina: Babe, you don’t have to be sorry. It wasn’t you. It was the FBI.

Sonny: [ Sighs ] Maybe, but maybe not — not entirely.

Nina: What do you mean?

Sonny: Well, uh, I couldn’t tell you until now. There was no chance that I was going to be convicted.

---

Nurse Janice: The nurse on duty was new. She thought one of the physicians was just taking out her patient for some fresh air.

Gladys: I’m sorry. Did you just say Cody Bell kidnapped Sasha?

And you are?

Gladys: I’m Sasha Gilmore’s mother-in-law. My name is Gladys Corbin. I’m her guardian.

Nurse Janice: Ms. Corbin, I —

Gladys: How could you let this happen? My daughter-in-law is so vulnerable. How could you let Cody take her?!

Nurse Janice: We didn’t let him take her. They just got away before we could get to them.

Gladys: Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, not they. He. He kidnapped her!

Nurse Janice: Sasha was leaning against Mr. Bell. She didn’t seem to be struggling with him. I don’t know if he was kidnapping her or if they were escaping together.

---

Cody: Sasha. What have they done to you? Hey. Hey, Sasha. Hey, stay with me. Hey, come here. Let’s get you up. Come on. Hey, listen to me. Hey, that Sam, she really pulled through for us, right? Car was exact– no, no, no, no, no. You got to stay awake, Sasha. Okay? You think you could drink a little something?

Sasha: No. No, I don’t want —

Cody: Look, hey, it’s just —

Sasha: Don’t make me take it.

Cody: It’s just a little water. That’s all it is.

Sasha: No! Get away.

Cody: Sasha — Sasha, hey. I’m just trying to help, okay? You need to hydrate.

Sasha: No! No! Get away!

Cody: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, be careful. Be careful, Sasha.

Sasha: No! Please don’t hurt me!

Cody: I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m not trying to hurt you.

Sasha: No! Stay away!

Cody: Sasha, Sasha, you’re safe. I promise. You have to believe me.

---

I got to say, that was a-a first for me. I’ve never seen an arraignment happen that fast.

Kristina: Oh, my god. I know. I was so worried when the judge said, “Michael Corinthos, Jr., you are charged with seven counts of violating the federal law.” I thought my heart was going to just beat through my chest. And then the FBI lawyers just stood up like it was no big deal and dropped the charges.

Chase: Well, they withdrew the charges at this time without prejudice. Which means they can refile the charges at any point in the future.

Well, there can’t be much of a case if they folded immediately.

The most important thing is Dad is home, but not without having to jump through hoops.

Kristina: I-I feel like we should sue them for what they put our family through. I mean, honestly, isn’t there a law against harassing the public while making a false arrest? There should be.

I think we should just be glad it’s over.

Yeah. Amen to that. I’ll be back.

Chase: You know, it is odd the FBI would make such a public arrest if they weren’t certain about the evidence. Something doesn’t add up.

---

Willow: Michael, it’s behind us now. That’s good news.

Michael: I was so worried that the FBI somehow found the footage of Sonny taking that delivery from Pikeman.

Willow: But they didn’t.

Michael: But they could have, and that would have been on me.

Willow: Stop beating yourself up. You chose not to turn over the evidence.

Michael: Yeah, well, you know, I still paid Dex to get it, to spy on Sonny and record his business dealings. I wanted to take my father down. I’m so grateful that you convinced me not to go through with it. I mean, could you imagine if I used that footage to get Sonny convicted? How would I ever face my family again? I let my self-righteous anger take over.

Willow: Michael, you felt betrayed by Sonny. I don’t like what you did, but it didn’t come out of nowhere.

Michael: Willow, I — I don’t want my father to go to prison.

---

Elizabeth: You know, Jake did text me after the game and said he was detained and that’s why he couldn’t make it. But he’ll meet us here later.

Violet: What’s “detained”?

Elizabeth: Um, it’s when something suddenly comes up, and it makes you late.

Finn: Mm. Look, there he is!

Violet: And Charlotte’s with him!

Finn: Hmm. Guess we know what detained him.

---

Nina: Well, Sonny, what are you saying to me? I mean, what made you think that you wouldn’t be convicted? I mean, I’m pretty sure that some of your business dealings aren’t strictly legal. So what made you think that the FBI wouldn’t be able to make a case?

Sonny: You know the — the raid on the docks?

[ Sighs ]

Sonny: As I was being hauled in, uh, the FBI were seizing a shipment that I was moving through. They busted a lot of my men, including Gabe. And what they thought they were going to find was contraband weapons. And what they found was a shipment of shade-grown Costa Rican coffee beans.

Nina: Coffee beans?

Sonny: The finest.

Nina: So the FBI, they — they go to the docks, and they expect to find contraband weapons, and they find coffee beans?

Sonny: Mm.

Nina: I’m surprised that the FBI would make such a big mistake.

Sonny: Well, I’m sure s-somebody must have given them bad information.

Nina: Well, who gave them the bad information, Sonny?

Sonny: Somebody who thought it was legit.

Nina: Are you saying to me that you set up the FBI?

---

Sasha: No, no. No. No! Dr. Montague!

Cody: No, no, no, no, no. It’s Cody. Cody.

Sasha: Please, please don’t hurt me!

Cody: Sasha, Sasha, I’m not going to hurt you. I’m not Montague, okay? I’m Cody. Look at me.

Sasha: Cody. Cody.

Cody: Yeah, I’m here. It’s me.

Sasha: What? Where are we?

Cody: We’re safe. Remember?

Sasha: We were at the hospital.

Cody: Here. Come here.

Sasha: [ Groans ]

Cody: The doctor walked in right as we were getting ready to go. But we got away. And don’t worry. Hey. He’s never going to hurt you again. No one’s ever going to touch you ever again. That’s a promise. But right now, Sasha, you got to take a sip of water, please.

Sasha: No. No, I can’t.

Cody: Yes. Look, whatever Montague pumped into you, it’s starting to fade, and you need to drink something.

Sasha: No, no, please, please.

Cody: Okay, you’re going through withdrawals.

Sasha: No. No, it hurts. It hurts.

Cody: I know. Look, I know — I know that it hurts. You’re going to have to push through that, though.

Sasha: No, it’s too much. It’s too much!

Cody: Hey, don’t let Montague’s poison win. Sasha, you’re going through detox right now. You have to sip some of this water, please.

Sasha: No! No, I can’t, Cody! I can’t!

Cody: Yes, you can. I am right here. I am with you. You can do this.

Sasha: No! I can’t.

Cody: Listen to me. Focus. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. The pain, okay, it’s going to ease. But right now, you have to fight to live.

Sasha: I — I don’t want to fight anymore!

Cody: Yeah, well, you have to! If you’re not going to do it for yourself, you do it for Brando! You do it for Liam!

---

Hey, there.

Hey.

Jake:Sorry I missed the game.

That’s okay. We missed you. But despite your absence, we still won.

Violet: Charlotte, you look so pretty.

Charlotte: Thank you, Violet.

Violet: Is that why you didn’t come to the game, Jake? Were you with Charlotte?

We were at Kelly’s.

Violet: Were you on a date?

---

Kristina: Dante, I think it’s really cool you showed up for Dad today despite being a cop. Not that I would expect anything less.

Dante: Oh, well, thank you, Kristina. I mean, look, Sonny’s my father. Cop or no cop, there’s nowhere else I would have been.

Chase: No, Kris is right. You took a risk to stand by Sonny. I mean, I’d like to think that if my dad was going through something, I’d stand by him the same way.

---

Michael: Uh, Willow? Um… would you be okay being alone for like an hour or so here?

Willow: Absolutely. I think I can handle that.

Michael: Okay. There’s something I got to take care of.

---

Willow: Hello, little man. I just called because I missed you. I’m so glad you liked the game. Well, someday that will be you sliding into home base. Whatever team you want to be on. That’s for you to decide. I know, um, Olivia told you about Grandpa Sonny’s trial. Yes, Daddy was very happy. We’ll see you soon, okay? I love you, too, Wiley.

---

Why don’t you guys go get some sodas or nachos if you’re hungry?

I’m not sure I could eat any more. But we could definitely use some sodas.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Violet: Wait, wait, where are you going? I want to hear about the date.

Finn: Yeah, look, uh, hey, wouldn’t you rather go talk to your Uncle Chase? You — you could tell him about my spectacular catch.

Violet: Daddy, it wasn’t that spectacular.

Finn: Thank you. So, Jake and Charlotte Cassadine?

Elizabeth: It’s the first I’m hearing about it.

Finn: I guess at least now you — you know the stuff he needed to do.

Elizabeth: Stop it. They’re awfully young.

Finn: Hey, you know, it kind of looks like they’re on the slow boat. I wouldn’t worry about it getting too heavy.

Elizabeth: Oh, is that what you’re going to say when Violet’s Jake’s age?

Finn: Oh, I-I can’t imagine Violet’s first date.

Elizabeth: Mm-hmm, imagine it, ’cause it’s going to happen sooner or later.

Finn: Later. Much, much later.

---

Chase: You know, Sam is the real hero for the PCPD team. Without her, we would have completely been left in the dust.

Violet: Just like Aunt Elizabeth.

Finn: [ Sighs ] Time goes by so fast. I mean, I’m — I’m looking at Chase over there, and he — he doesn’t know about Dad. And I’m glad, you know? Give him an extra moment to be happy.

Elizabeth: You should do the same. Look at all the joy around us. And don’t you want to bask in your spectacular catch as long as you can?

Finn: [ Chuckles ]

---

Sasha: What do you know about Brando and Liam? You’ve got no right to use them against me!

Cody: Hey, hey, hey, I know that you love them. I know that their memories mean something to you. I know you’d want to honor them instead of disgracing their memories like this.

Sasha: How dare you?!

Cody: I also know that they would want you to fight. You are so strong. Think about all that you’ve survived, Sasha. And you need to stay strong in order to get through this.

Sasha: He — he said that I was strong, too.

Cody: Yeah, well, he was right. He was strong.

Sasha: And what did that get him, hmm? Every person I have ever loved, Brando, Liam, they’re gone. Gone, Cody. I barely even remember my mother. My — my grandmother showed me pictures, and I know the facts and the dates, but — but it’s — it’s just another story. Everyone fades. I look around, and I don’t — I don’t even know where I belong anymore. I wouldn’t even have come to Port Charles if it wasn’t to get the money for my grandmother. There’s nothing left for me here.

Cody: There are people here that love you, Sasha. You live for them.

Sasha: Who, Cody? I have nobody left.

Cody: You have me.

---

Sonny: I didn’t plan to set the FBI up. That just happened. The target was someone else.

Nina: Someone else?

Sonny: I knew they were digging around. They were asking questions, and they weren’t going to stop. So I let them steal what they thought they were going to find.

Nina: But it’s not what they really wanted?

Sonny: Nope. And they didn’t know that. I had, uh, Brick dummy up something that seemed real. That’s what they gave to the FBI.

Nina: I don’t suppose you’re going to tell me who this “someone else” is?

Sonny: I don’t know who that someone else is, but I’m going to find out. See, that was the first plan, was to just smoke them out, see what they thought of the phony intel. Now, it was a risk because if they came sniffing around, there was a chance that I would be in custody. But that was a chance I was willing to take.

Nina: Oh, Sonny, Krissy and Wiley —

Sonny: I wish I could have told you this before, and I didn’t want to do it, but —

Nina: No, I get it. I really do.

Sonny: You know, I would have just — but I can’t tell you I can’t do it again.

Nina: I understand.

Sonny: It’s the reality of my life.

Nina: Okay. Stop torturing yourself, because I knew what I was getting into, the good and the bad, when you asked me to marry you. And I love you. I love all of you. There are no regrets. Do you hear me? Absolutely no regrets. I’m ready to share your life with you and all of its complications. And if there’s anything that I worry about, it’s a small price to pay for the happiness that I feel being with you.

[ Knock on door ]

Sonny: [ Laughs ] What?

Gabe: Your son’s here to see you.

Sonny: Let him in. I-I thought Dante was meeting with Sam.

---

Michael: Hey, Dad.

Nina: Come in, please, Michael. Can I get you anything?

Sonny: Hey, Michael.

Michael: Hey. Um, no, no, no. I’m fine. I didn’t — I didn’t get a chance to talk to you in the courtroom.

Sonny: That’s okay. I mean, I didn’t expect you to.

Michael: Um, look, I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that the charges were dropped against you, and that you weren’t alone in the courtroom, that you had a lot of — you had a lot of support.

Nina: Well, that support included you, Michael, and we were both very grateful for that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nina: I-I, um, just remembered something that I was supposed to do, if you both will excuse me.

Sonny: Okay.

Michael: She, uh, got out of here pretty quick.

Sonny: She probably wanted to give us some time alone.

Probably.

I’m glad. There’s, um — there’s something I need to tell you.

---

Kristina: Save you a trip.

Dante: Thank you.

Kristina: Oh, man. Dante, I am so relieved about Dad. Everyone really rallied around him. Even Michael came. Thought I was going to cry when Dad saw him. The look on his face —

Dante: Yeah, look, Michael loves Sonny, despite what he says sometimes.

Kristina: Well, we weren’t too sure about that when we showed up at his office accusing him of the arrest.

Dante: I know. I went in there a little fired up, but, uh, you know, I guess I was wrong.

Kristina: Yeah.

Dante: Thankfully, now we can just focus on mending our family.

Kristina: I know that’s what Nina wants.

Dante: Yeah, I’m not the one you have to convince, remember?

Kristina: Yeah. I think, though, Michael is going to see how good Nina is for Dad after all of this. She brought me back from the edge a couple of times. She had it all together. I don’t know how, but she just pulled through. Maybe this is going to be a good omen for them. Like, now they can finally just be happy together.

---

You slacking on your softball, Finn? Violet tipped me off.

Yeah, well, we didn’t have a whole lot of time this year for spring training.

You seemed to hold your own pretty well.

Okay, just wait till the PCPD plays G.H.

Oh, trust me, I am counting down the days.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Chase: I bet. Oh, it’s work. This is Detective Harrison Chase.

Violet: Jake missed the game, and then he showed up here with Charlotte. I think they’re on a date.

Willow: Are you sure it’s a date?

Violet: That’s what I wanted to ask, but Daddy sent me over here. I humored him, but now I’m going to go find out everything I can.

Willow: Oh, Violet, I’m not sure that’s such a good idea. You know, when two people are on a date, especially if it might be a first date, it’s probably best not to bug them.

Violet: Why?

Hey, what’s going on?

Chase: That was dispatch. There’s an APB out on two patients who escaped Ferncliff. Sasha Gilmore and Cody bell.

---

Cody: Thanks for trying to drink a little. It will get better. How are you feeling?

Sasha: Not good.

Cody: Do you think you could try drinking just a little bit more?

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Hey. Why are you here? Everybody else has left me, but not you.

Cody: Yeah, no. And I’m not planning on leaving you. As long as you keep fighting, I’ll be right here alongside you.

---

Nina: Gladys, so what is going on? What’s the emergency? Did something happen to Sasha?

Gladys: Sasha’s been kidnapped.

---

Michael: After the judge dismissed the charges. It was, uh, just too much for me.

Sonny: Too much?

Michael: Yeah. Too many thoughts swirling in my head. I-I don’t even know what I was thinking. It was like, I don’t know, I was at war with myself. Uh… I had to get out of there, so I’m sorry.

Sonny: Sorry? You don’t have to be sorry for anything. I mean, I — the fact that you were there meant everything to me. I — actually, I didn’t — I didn’t expect it.

Michael: No, I know. And that’s the worst part.

---

Are you sad you missed the game?

No. Are you? I mean, did you want to go?

Charlotte: No, I’ll catch the next one.

Jake: You want to grab another soda?

Charlotte: No, but I want to hear more about your drawing. I’m not much of an artist, but I like to write, and I was thinking it’d be cool to do a graphic novel. Maybe you could do some of the drawings, and I could write the story?

Jake: Yeah, I-I could do that.

Charlotte: Okay, but it can’t be lame like every other superhero thing.

Jake: No.

Charlotte: I was looking at these cool cards the other day, and I was thinking it’d be amazing to do a middle ages theme.

Jake: That could work.

---

Willow: You know how sometimes you don’t want the boys around when you’re playing dress-up or doing something very girly?

Violet: No, I don’t mind the boys being around.

Willow: Well, sometimes people can…get shy. You know, what if — what if Jake and Charlotte feel that way? I think it’s best to respect their privacy.

Violet: If Jake and Charlotte wanted to be private, why did they come to a restaurant?

---

Elizabeth: Poor Willow. Look at that glazed-over look on her face. When Violet starts asking questions, there’s no stopping her.

Finn: Yeah, no, I mean, maybe it’s better her talking to Willow than critiquing my softball performance.

Elizabeth: Oh, come on. You love it.

Finn: Yeah, I do.

Elizabeth: You know, when you let yourself have fun, you’re actually pretty good at it.

---

Sam: Why did we have to leave Charlie’s so quickly?

Dante: Well, the station called Chase. They put out an APB. Cody and Sasha broke out of Ferncliff. But you knew that was going to happen. Didn’t you?

---

Sasha: I stabbed you, and still, you’re here. Why would you help me after I hurt you?

Cody: That wasn’t you, Sasha. It was the drugs. I mean, you thought I was Cyrus Renault. It was a hallucination.

Sasha: Where are we?

Cody: Uh, someplace that Sam found for us. She helped me get in to see you. She arranged for a car and this cabin so we’d have a safe place to come after I broke you out of Ferncliff. Hey, hey, hey, hey. It’s okay. Okay? You’re safe now. You’re free. You’re free from everything that Dr. Montague did to you. And, Sasha, I promise you will never have to go through anything like that again.

Sasha: Cody, I —

Cody: Yeah, hey. No, I get it. Right now, you need your rest. You think you can sleep? Okay. I’ll be right here by your side the whole time. No one’s going to hurt you, not while I’m here. I promise.

---

Nina: Sasha was kidnapped? What are you talking about?

Gladys: Okay, okay. I went out to Ferncliff to check on her release, fill out any paperwork, and — and smooth the way to bring her home. And —

Nina: And what happened?

Gladys: Okay, as I drove in, I saw a cop car. And then I got up to Sasha’s floor, and a nurse is giving a statement… saying that Sasha was kidnapped by Cody Bell.

---

Violet: [ Sighs ] Bye, Willow.

Willow: Bye.

Kristina: A refill.

Willow: Thank you.

Kristina: Yeah.

Willow: I, uh — I also wanted to tell you how relieved I am that the charges against Sonny were dropped.

Kristina: Yeah, well, you have no idea. I’m so relieved. I have been pretty wound up about it the last few days, but it feels like a weight has finally lifted, and I can breathe again.

Willow: It was so horrible, seeing those agents storm in and surround Sonny like that.

Kristina: Yeah, I-I didn’t know what to do.

Willow: Well, you sure seemed to know. You got right up in their faces.

Kristina: Yeah, something kind of, uh, took over. It’s crazy. They were there, about to just grab my dad, and I-I just wanted to do anything I could to protect him. I-I just wanted it to stop. And thank god Michael was there. I — where is my brother?

Willow: Uh, Michael had to leave for a little bit.

Kristina: Oh.

---

Sonny: What do you mean when you said that that was the worst part?

Micheal: Sonny… Dad. The fact that things have gotten so bad between us that you wouldn’t even expect that I’d show up at your trial? You know, it’s like — it’s like I’ve been walking this — this path, and suddenly, I don’t recognize my own footprints.

Sonny: You have every right to feel the way you want to feel. I know that I’ve let you down.

Micheal: Yeah, well, that’s just it. People let people down. It doesn’t mean you have to destroy them.

---

Sonny: Why you talking about destroying people? That’s not like you, to be talking about —

Micheal: Not — not destroying people, Dad. Destroying you. I was furious with you. Ever since I was little… …I always knew there was something different about us. Whenever things got dangerous, you sent us to the island. We had no idea what the danger was or why it would suddenly appear. Just that you and Mom were worried. So, uh, I mean, Morgan and I, we just created games, and we created stories. Like one time, we pretended that the island was Never Never Land, and we were there because Captain Hook was coming. So we we had our swords, and we ran around the cove, and we pretended to be your guards.

Sonny: Yeah, I, uh — Morgan had a sword named Spiker. Remember that?

Micheal: Yeah. Yeah. He wanted to sleep with it. Mom wouldn’t let him. She said the best place for swords were next to the bed. Not in the bed. I think we always knew why there were real guards around us all the time. Certainly by high school, I knew that Corinthos Coffee wasn’t your only business. And by then, I also knew that one of the threats was the police. And I saw you escape the law time and time again.

Sonny: Michael… what did you come here to tell me?

---

Dante: Apparently, Cody jumped a doctor, stole his clothes, grabbed Sasha, and they got out of there before they locked the place down.

Sam: Oh, my god.

Dante: Then, get this. When they got out of the building, they didn’t escape on foot. There was a car waiting for them with the keys still in it. [ Groans, chuckles ] Hey, babe, when you plan a breakout, you plan a breakout.

Sam: What do you want me to say?

Dante: Nothing, I guess. I just hope everything works out and Cody and Sasha are safe.

---

Kristina: Michael had to leave for a little while? Where’d he go?

Willow: He said he had an errand to run.

Kristina: An errand, hmm, at this hour?

Willow: I think I have an idea what it was. And if I’m right, it’s long overdue.

---

Micheal: Look, there were times that I found myself wishing that you would be prosecuted and convicted. And I would tell myself that it was about justice. But, uh —  [ Breathes shakily ] Really, it was about making you pay for our family falling apart.

Sonny: I understand.

Micheal: No, no, Dad, you don’t. You couldn’t possibly. Dad, I — I found myself standing there in the courtroom and realizing that the last thing I want is for you to be sent to prison, you know, for Kristina, for Dante, for the girls, but also because you’re my father. And I don’t want you behind bars. I-I don’t want you to suffer. And I don’t want to be angry at you anymore. It’s exhausting. This — this resentment that I’ve been holding onto, it’s like… it’s turning me into somebody who I don’t want to be, especially with my family. The family that I almost lost. [ Sighs ] That’s all I wanted to say, okay, just — just tell you that I’m very happy that you beat the charges.

Sonny: Michael? You didn’t have to say a-all that. I appreciate it. It means a lot. I just want you to know… …no matter what, you’re my son. I love you.

Micheal: Yeah. Love you, too.

---

Nina: Why would Cody Bell, of all people, kidnap Sasha?

Gladys: Well, he’s tried it once before. I mean, probably to get revenge for her stabbing him. I had to file for a restraining order to stop him.

Nina: How come this is the first of me hearing this?

Gladys: Because I took care of everything to protect Sasha from Cody. But he lied his way into Ferncliff, pretended to be a patient.

Nina: How could he pretend to be a patient at Ferncliff?

Gladys: I-I don’t know. That’s what the nurse told the cops. She said Cody grabbed Sasha and ran out with her.

Nina: Okay, you told me that Sasha, she was trapped in Ferncliff. Right? You told me that her doctor was keeping her there. You had to pay ransom to get her out. How do you know she didn’t just leave with Cody willingly? I mean, maybe Cody went there not to kidnap her for revenge, but to rescue her.

Gladys: No, no, no. No, Cody is a thief and a liar. All he cares about is money. I think he was working with the doctor, following his orders when he took Sasha.

Nina: What?

Gladys: Yeah. Now Sasha’s in more danger than ever.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Curtis:  The circumstances that made me open The Savoy and dedicate so much hard work to its success have radically changed.

N’neka: Boss? You’re back!

Curtis:  Hey, N’neka.

N’neka: Well, it’s about time!

---

Spencer: Okay.

Esme: Ace kept me on my toes all day. I didn’t even have a chance to eat lunch. I’m starving. That food you got for us looks amazing!

---

Maxie: [ Sighs ] We’re here, Lulu. I can feel you here, too. Makes me feel closer to you.

James: Mom! Help!

Maxie: What is it?

James: Why is there only sheets in here?

Maxie: Because that is a box that says “bed linens.” What are you looking for?

James: My favorite sweatshirt.

Maxie: That is probably in your room in the box that says “James’ clothes.”

James: No, it’s not. I checked all those boxes.

Georgie: This is yours.

James: Thanks, Georgie. I thought it was lost.

[ Knock on door ]

Mac: Wow!

James and Georgie: Grandpa!

Mac: Congratulations!

Felicia: Congratulations!

Maxie: Oh, thank you!

Felicia: Congratulations. It’s lovely. Are you happy?

Georgie: Yes!

James: This house is great. I have my own room. I love it.

Mac: Thataboy! Way to go! I love it!

---

Carly: Okay. You just need to call me with any news about Sonny’s arraignment, ’cause I need to figure out what I’m gonna tell Donna.

Michael: Yeah, I’ll call you as soon as I get any information.

Carly: You know, I really thought about going. But I don’t want to get sucked back into all this, you know? So I’m really glad that you’re there.

Michael: Yeah, me too. [ Breathes deeply ] I love you.

Carly: Love you. [ Sighs ] Okay. Hi. Waitress is a little busy, but she will be right with you. Okay?

Elizabeth: Someone’s gonna hit a home run today!

Finn: [ Laughs ]

Violet: Wait. We can’t eat here.

Finn: Why not?

Violet: Kelly’s has its own softball team. They’re the enemy.

---

Michael: Kristina.

Kristina: Hi. Oh. Michael, I’m so glad you came. I was really worried I was gonna be the only one here to show support for Dad. Where is everyone?

Michael: Uh, I don’t know if Dante is coming. Um, some people might think it’d be a conflict of interest since he’s a cop.

Kristina: Well, they would be wrong. Cop or not, he’s still his son.

Dante: Hey, you guys.

Kristina: Hi.

Dante: How’s it going?

Kristina: So glad you’re here.

Dante: Yeah. Good to see you.

Nina: Hi.

Kristina: Hi.

Nina: I’m so sorry I’m running late. I had to change into something more appropriate for court.

Kristina: You look great, and the only thing that matters is that you’re here.

Dante: How’s Sonny doing?

Nina: Well, according to Diane, he’s calm and ready for this. He’s doing a lot better than I am. I’m a nervous wreck.

Diane: Oh, fantastic. You’re all here. A good showing of family support is a strong optic, even for the most hardened judges.

---

Carly: Hey, Violet, I appreciate your competitive spirit because I’m pretty competitive myself, but we’re only enemies on the softball field. Like my Aunt Ruby used to say, everyone’s welcome at Kelly’s.

Violet: What if you try to sabotage us?

Elizabeth: Oh, I think Carly’s sabotage days are behind her.

Violet: Okay. But I’m keeping my eye on you.

Carly: I expect nothing less. But I don’t have to sabotage you because the Kelly’s team is definitely gonna beat the G.H. team. I just wish I could play myself, but someone has to run the diner.

Finn: Oh, well, that’s too bad for you guys. I mean, I’ve seen you pitch. You’re a good pitcher. Without you being there, that gives us a good chance to win.

---

Maxie: It’s beautiful. Thank you, guys.

James: Yeah. Grandpa, come and see my new room! It’s awesome!

Mac: First, let’s see how we can help your mom.

Maxie: Oh, Georgie and James definitely still have boxes stacked up, so…

Mac: Let’s go take care of that. Come on.

Georgie: My room isn’t even near James’!

James: I can play my games full blast!

Felicia: This is just beautiful.

Maxie: Thank you, Mom. We all really love it.

Felicia: And the furniture you picked out is just perfect. And I know you still have other things coming.

Maxie: Yes, lots of new things. For the backyard, the bedrooms, this room, and…

Felicia: Maxie, what’s wrong?

Maxie: [ Sighs ] Mom, it’s just when I bought all of these new things, I thought Deception was on solid ground, and now we might lose everything.

Felicia: Lucy said the case against her is completely baseless.

Maxie: Yeah, I’m pretty sure she said that before she found out who was taking us to court.

Felicia: Who?

Maxie: Tracy Quartermaine.

Felicia: Ohh. She is unbelievable!

Maxie: Not only that, but she brought in this hotshot lawyer from Pine Valley.

Felicia: Pine Valley?

Maxie: Yeah. Some guy named Jackson Montgomery.

Felicia: Oh, no.

Maxie: “Oh, no”? You know him!

Mac: He could have had your mother thrown in jail.

---

Esme: Gourmet cheeses. Salami imported from Italy. Wow. Spencer, you really went all-out.

Spencer: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Everybody knows I like to spend money, right?

Esme: What did you do this afternoon?

Spencer: Uh, I was just hanging out at the pool.

Esme: Oh, well, I wish I would have known. I would have brought Ace, and we could have joined you. Your little brother sure does love to swim.

Spencer: He sure does. Yeah. I think he just likes to have his fins on and float around in the water.

Esme: Oh, I know! I know the pool is closed now, but we should get him into the swim lessons early next spring.

Spencer: Yeah! Yeah, we should definitely do that.

[ Knock on door ]

Spencer: Hi.

Trina: Hey. Did you get the food? I’m starving.

---

N’neka: Alright, people. Gather ’round, please. I need everyone’s help for a major event.

[ Applause ]

Curtis: Thank you. Thank you, N’neka, for the impromptu gathering. Uh, and thank you for letting my pop help you keep things running in my absence. I can’t tell you all how much I miss this place. The music, the customers, the DJs. But most importantly, my incredible staff. You all have a way of just making people feel like they’re at home… even for a nightclub.

N’neka: Okay, people. The doors open in just a few minutes. So let’s make this a happy hour to remember. Let’s go, let’s go!

Curtis: Oh, and, N’neka… thank you for stepping up as acting manager.

N’neka: Well, what can I say? I learned from the best. And I plan on learning a lot more from you now that you’re back.

TJ: Sounds like the whole staff missed you a lot, Uncle Curtis.

---

Kristina: Dad, how you holding up?

Nina: Yeah, a lot of people want to know that.

Sonny: I’m gonna be — I’m gonna be fine. Don’t worry about it.

Kristina: You were arrested by the FBI. Of course we’re worried.

Nina: Diane is good, but come on.

Sonny: Listen to me. I got this.

Diane: Okay. Let’s not further antagonize the U.S. Government. Would everyone take their seats, please?

Sonny: Can I have a word with Dante? Just… I just want you to know that I really appreciate you being here. It means a lot to me.

Dante: Of course, Dad.

Sonny: You can go ahead and — and leave now.

Dante: Well, I don’t — I don’t care about them seeing me here. I’ll tell you what I told Mac. Nowhere in my oath I took with the PCPD does it say that I can’t support my father. So I’m here, and, uh, I’m not going anywhere. Alright.

---

Esme: Hi! Trina. You must be here for dinner with Spencer. Uh, Ace and I were just leaving.

Spencer: Hey, Esme, uh, you don’t have to go anywhere. There’s more than enough food for all of us if you want to bring him in.

Esme: It’ll only take me a few minutes to pack up Ace and all his baby things. Um, pretend I’m not here.

Spencer: I’m just gonna run really quick and grab us some utensils and things like that from the kitchen. I’ll be right back.

---

Elizabeth: I’m gonna get some more napkins and ketchup.

Finn: Okay.

Violet: It’s too bad that Spencer doesn’t work here anymore. I’ve seen him play softball before. I knew what to expect from him, but Josslyn’s got volleyball, so that probably means she’s gonna be good at softball, too.

Finn: Right. But, you know, it’s just a game, sweetheart. Um, I want us to have fun. It’s not all about winning.

Violet: What about you, Jake? What do you know about the players from Kelly’s?

Jake: I don’t really know much more than you do, Violet.

Carly: Okay. Here you go.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Carly: Violet is adorable. I love how competitive she is!

Elizabeth: And she’s a perfectionist, like her dad.

Carly: Okay, well, don’t worry. There will be no sabotage. I do not want to get on Violet’s bad side.

Elizabeth: No, but you don’t have to worry about her. She’s a softie.

Carly: Aww.

Elizabeth: By the way, I heard about Sonny’s arrest. I’m really sorry. I’m actually kind of surprised you’re not at the arraignment.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I thought about it. But Sonny’s gonna have tons of people there. And it’s not my life anymore.

---

Curtis: I don’t think I’ve seen you here before. I’m Curtis Ashford, Savoy’s owner. We got about an hour left on happy hour, so feel free to talk to one of my bartenders about what’s on special.

Molly: Ah.

Jordan: Looking good, Curtis. This is a really great turnout.

Curtis: Well, thank you. And now can I officially welcome — there you are. Welcome the both of you to The Savoy Are you out for anything special tonight?

TJ: Yes, we are. Molly and I have a major announcement to make.

---

Maxie: Jackson Montgomery could have had you arrested?

Felicia: It’s a long story.

Maxie: I’m not going anywhere.

James: Mom, can we have a barbecue with Grandma and Grandpa?

Mac: That is a great idea. Why don’t the three of us go get what we need and maybe we’ll stop at Kelly’s on the way back for some dessert.

Georgie: Can I order the dessert, Mom?

Maxie: That would be up to your grandpa.

Mac: I don’t see why not. You know what everybody likes, don’t you?

James: You’re not ordering for me!

Georgie: You heard what the man said.

James: Grandpa!

Mac: Let’s go.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Maxie: Talk.

Felicia: A few weeks ago, Lucy and I went to Pine Valley.

Maxie: Right. Lucy broke into Jackson Montgomery’s office. I heard him say something about that.

Felicia: Well, actually, she kind of distracted him while I broke into his office.

Maxie: Oh, no. Okay. Well, clearly, you got caught.

Felicia: Red-handed.

Maxie: And he didn’t throw you in jail because…?

Felicia: Anna. They knew each other from before. Which is a good thing because the charges could have been very harsh because I broke into his safe.

Maxie: You broke into his safe?! A-and now he’s working for Tracy, and he’s gonna be out for blood.

Felicia: I hope this doesn’t have any effect on what happens in court.

Maxie: Mom, t-they might actually have evidence that can beat us.

Felicia: You don’t have to worry. Mac and I will help you.

Maxie: I know, Mom. I — I know. It’s just…. I was feeling very proud to be standing on my own two feet. You know? This house. Taking care of the kids. No. You know what? No matter what, I’m gonna make it happen.

---

Michael: Good luck, Willow. And please remember. You are just a spectator. Okay? Alright. I love you, too. Bye. Okay. Let’s make this quick.

Dex: Look, I know I screwed up throwing the flash drive away in a public trash can, okay? But the more I think about it, the more I think it would have been impossible for the FBI to get anything off of that flash drive. Your mom really did a number on it. It was pulverized. All I threw away were fragments.

Michael: Well, the FBI somehow got ahold of that evidence, and since there’s only one copy, I don’t know how, but they somehow pieced it back together.  Look. I got to go.

---

Kristina: Nina, how are you so calm?

Nina: Oh. It’s an act. I mean, look at my hands.

Bailiff: All rise! Federal court for the Northern District of New York is now in session. The honorable Judge Jarret presiding.

Judge Jarret: Be seated.

---

Spencer: We are set! Dig in.

Trina: I’m not hungry.

Spencer: [ Chuckling ] What? Trina, you came over here for dinner.

Trina: Yeah, I did. And I’ve lost my appetite.

Spencer: Why?

Trina: Three guesses.

Spencer: Why? Esme?

Trina: You’re getting closer. Keep going.

Spencer: What, you’re upset that I said that she could eat with us? Trina, that wasn’t a part of the original plan. It’s just I came in here with the food, and then she assumed that it was for her.

Trina: No. She assumed that it was for the two of you. There’s a difference.

Spencer: Yeah, you’re right. I just didn’t know how to tell her that she was wrong.

Trina: You know, those assumptions have been happening more and more. You and Esme have been spending so much time together taking care of Ace, it just…

Spencer: Trina, hey, hey. Trina, it’s me. You can talk to me.

Trina: It just feels like… you and Esme as roommates… as Ace’s caretakers… it feels like the boundaries of what you two are to each other… they’re blurring.

Spencer: Not for me, they aren’t.

---

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Finn: Good?

Esme: Hi. Miss Spencer, could I please get a high chair?

Carly: Um, sure. Okay.

Elizabeth: Oh, my goodness! You’re getting so big!

Esme: Uh, yeah, his pediatrician says he’s in the 98th percentile for his age.

Elizabeth: Oh, wow. I’m really glad to see you both doing so well.

Esme: Thank you.

Elizabeth: Have a good night.

Finn: Okay?

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Finn: Alright. Let’s get to that field, get a good stretch in.

Violet: And no dessert until after the game!

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ]

Finn: Ah.

Jake: Yeah. You guys go ahead. I’ll, uh, catch up later.

Elizabeth: Wait. What? Since when?

---

Curtis: Alright. We got a table. Got our drinks. What’s the news, man? Spill it.

TJ: I think you should tell them.

Molly: You both know we decided to use a surrogate to have a baby. If the procedure was successful, we should know in a few days if our surrogate is pregnant with our baby.

Jordan: Ohh!

[ TJ chuckles ]

Curtis: Congratulations. T-that’s amazing. I can’t think of two better people to become parents than you two. Ain’t that right, Grandma? [ Laughter ]

TJ: Here’s to Grandma Jordan and Great-Uncle Curtis!

Curtis: Yeah!

Jordan: But more importantly, to the hopefully soon-to-be expecting parents.

TJ: Cheers.

Molly: Cheers.

---

Georgie: What’s taking James so long?

Mac: Oh, Carly’s probably fixing him up a special dessert or something. So you like the new house?

Georgie: Love it.

Mac: Yeah, I think James does, too. And your mom.

Georgie: Yeah. I think so, too. But…

Mac: What?

Georgie: Is Mom okay?

Mac: Well, yeah. Why would you ask that?

Georgie: She works so hard, and she was excited when we got the house, but now…

Mac: Well, now what?

Georgie: She’s acting, like, all happy about everything, but I think she’s worried.

Mac: What? Well, did she say something?

Georgie: No.

Mac: Well, then why would you ask that?

Georgie: I can just tell. She’s my mom. I love the new house. But if it makes her worry…

Mac: Hey, listen, Georgie. If your mom is worried about anything, we will take care of it, okay?

Georgie: Okay. Thanks, Grandpa.

Mac: Okay.

---

Maxie: So you and Lucy told Jackson Montgomery that you were sisters.

Felicia: Desperate times?

Maxie: Oh, Mom. You know I love your spirit of adventure.

Felicia: You inherited it.

Maxie: Uh, I don’t know about that. But what I do know is you could have been thrown in jail or in prison. And the kids and I, we need you. We always need you.

Felicia: I know. And so does Mac. But, you know, I can’t swear that anything is gonna be any different because when a friend needs you…

Maxie: I know. Trust me. I know. I just want you to promise me that you’ll exhaust all your other options before you resort to doing something illegal.

Felicia: Yeah, well, that’s why I’m taking this new path.

---

Judge Jarret: Mr. Michael Corinthos, Jr. You are being charged with seven violations of Federal Law section 18, section 922, the unauthorized transportation of classified weapons. I understand that the evidence in this case is classified and being submitted under seal?

Attorney: Uh, at this time, we moved to withdraw the charges without prejudice.

Sonny: Ava, we already set the trap. We just have to spring it. And then we’re gonna get the answers we need.

Judge Jarret: You want to withdraw the charges now?! What — what are we even doing in court today?

Attorney: When we brought the federal charges against the defendant, we thought we had overwhelming amounts of evidence. Turns out we didn’t.

Judge Jarret: Well, since the U.S. Attorneys are not ready to proceed, I have no other options. Mr. Corinthos, the charges against you have been dropped. You are free to go. But as a reminder, Mr. Corinthos, the charges against you have been dismissed without prejudice, so they may be refiled at any time.

Sonny: I understand, your honor.

Judge Jarret: The next time I see any of you in my court, I want the case to be fully prepared! Court is adjourned.

Bailiff: All rise!

Nina: Ohh! [ Laughs ] Okay.

Kristina: Wait, wait, wait. Someone explain to me what exactly is going on here.

Diane: What’s going on is that, inexplicably, it’s all over. Congratulations, Sonny. As the judge said, you’re free to go.

[ Laughter ]

---

Georgie: Took you long enough.

James: Carly had it made special. And I saw Matty from Little League.

Mac: Oh! Well, he’s a good player. Hey, and so is that new catcher.

James: Dylan?

Mac: Yeah. I saw you and Dylan talking at the game the other day. What did he say to you?

James: He asked me why my dad wasn’t at the game.

Mac: Oh. What’d you tell him?

James: I told him that my dad died and he was a hero.

Mac: Yes, he was.

James: I don’t think Dylan believed me. That’s why I pointed at you.

Mac: Well, why did you point at me?

James: I told him you were my grandpa and that you’re a hero, too. And all the other guys told him it was true.

Mac: You think I’m a hero?

James: Yep. You are, Grandpa.

---

Maxie: So, being a patient advocate is about as far from cracking a safe as you can get.

Felicia: I wasn’t a professional criminal.

Maxie: Tell that to Jackson Montgomery. But seriously, Mom, I think this patient-advocate thing is really cool.

Felicia: I love being a grandmother, and I love the life that I have with Mac. But I still have time for something else, and I want to do something meaningful.

Maxie: Well, I think you’re making the right choice.

Felicia: When I was at G.H. and I saw Stella Henry working with this young woman, it was very clear to me that what she was doing was making a big difference. And I couldn’t help thinking about when you were sick and in the hospital and waiting for your heart transplant and how grateful I was that we actually had family on staff to get us through that. But even so, there were times where I felt overwhelmed by a system that I just didn’t understand.

Maxie: I’m sure there are a lot of people that feel that way.

Felicia: But if I just had someone to guide me through it — not tell me what to do, but to show me the way. That’s what Stella was doing for that young woman. And it was then that I knew that’s what I want to do now.

---

Elizabeth: Jake, why can’t you just come with us right now?

Jake: I have stuff to do. Okay?

Elizabeth: Can you be more specific than “stuff”?

Jake: No, but I promise you I’ll be at the game. Plus, I can pay for my own rideshare. I’ve been saving all my lawn-mowing money. Alright?

Violet: You still didn’t explain what “stuff” means.

Finn: Well, I think maybe what Jake is trying to say is maybe he doesn’t want to talk about it, and maybe we shouldn’t push him, alright? So why don’t we head on over to the field, alright? And, Jake, we’ll — we’ll see you at the game, alright, buddy?

Carly: Here you go.

Esme: Wow. I still can’t believe that Ace can sit up all on his own. I mean, it seems like he does something new every day.

Carly: Yeah, he’s pretty cute. And I remember when my first-born was that age. Every day was a new experience.

Esme: Well, that’s how I feel about life with Ace. I mean, sometimes it’s really overwhelming, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. And even though Baby’s dad isn’t in the picture, his big brother, Spencer, has really stepped up and helped out a lot with Ace. In a lot of ways, I’m a very fortunate first-time single mom.

---

Spencer: Okay. I know that the old Esme is somewhere inside her still. And one day, she might come back. But I will do anything to protect my little brother. And, honestly… living with Esme hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. When my grandmother told me that she and Kevin were gonna be going overseas to look for my father, I thought that cohabitating with her was going to be an impossibility, but somehow we’ve managed it. And none of that is to say that — look. I don’t want to be with her for any other reason other than that we’re just co-parenting Ace. That’s it. Any romantic feelings that I have for her are gone. And those feelings weren’t even real feelings. It was puppy love. The only one who I want to be with, the only person who I feel for, is you. And I can prove it.

---

Jordan: It’s really good to see you back here at The Savoy.. in your element. The staff, the customers. Everyone is so excited to have you back where you belong.

Curtis: Yeah. Well, a few things have changed.

Jordan: I know that. And I’m not trying to minimize what happened to you. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s costing you to be here. In that chair. But you’re doing it. And, honestly, you’re making it look easy.

Curtis: Oh, it’s been anything but easy.

Jordan: Well, I just want you to know that I will always think of you like family. And not just because we’ll both be connected by Molly and TJ’s baby. I mean that, Curtis. I’m here for you.

TJ: We’re back for round two.

Molly: I guess that’s one bright spot of using a surrogate. I can still enjoy a cocktail — if and when Andrea tells us she’s pregnant.

TJ: Mm!

Curtis: Well, again, I hope you get your exciting news very soon, because I know I’m excited about being a great-uncle. About as excited as Jordan is about being a grandma.

Jordan: Uh — no, no, no, no, no. That just means I have nine months to come up with optional nicknames.

TJ: Mm.

Curtis: Fair enough. I have to get back to work. You know, circulate. It’s good for business. Congratulations.

---

Kristina: Dad, I just — I always knew deep down that this was just a huge mistake.

Sonny: Thank you, sweetheart.

Dante: H-how? I don’t understand. How did they not have the evidence to back up these charges?

Attorney: I don’t understand. What happened to the evidence?

Moss: We got played. We got false information from a source which has always been reliable in the past.

Attorney: Until now?

Moss: Right. It’s obvious that Corinthos pulled a fast one so that no weapons would be found.

Nina: Sonny, the million ways I saw this playing out, I prayed for this one. Thank god it’s over! Thank god.

Sonny: Diane, job well done, as usual.

Diane: [ Laughs ] Oh, please. As much as I would love to take credit for this dismissal, I can’t. Appears the U.S. Attorneys thought they had something that they didn’t. It also appears that this comes as no surprise to you. Not one bit.

---

Felicia: [ Laughs ]

James: I have to put my dessert in the refrigerator or else it’s gonna melt!

[ Laughs ] Did you buy out the store?

Mac: Well, James wanted hot dogs. I know you like chicken. I got a couple of steaks and a meatless thing for Georgie.

Georgie: And he’s gonna barbecue corn on the cob.

Maxie: That sounds perfect.

James: I found it!

Maxie: Oh. Okay. That’s for Grandpa to use.

Mac: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Georgie: Grandpa was gonna buy coals, too, but I told him I saw them in the storage bin. Also, that thing used to start the fire.

James: I’ll light the fire!

Mac: Ah.

Maxie: No, you won’t.

Mac: No! No, you won’t! Not until you’re older. That’s for Grandpa.

James: Alright.

Mac: Let’s get started.

James: This house is the best ever!

Felicia: Yeah, it is, sweetheart, isn’t it? [ Laughs ]

Mac: Come on!

Felicia: They’re happy.

---

Trina: What’s this?

Spencer: It’s for you. Open it.

Trina: Oh. They’re beautiful. But what do they mean?

Spencer: They’re turtle doves.

Trina: Oh. Oh! From the Christmas carol. A partridge in a pear tree.

Spencer: Right. And where was I last Christmas?

Trina: In Pentonville.

Spencer: Yeah, my Uncle Cyrus gave those to me so that I’d have something to give to you.

Trina: But you didn’t give them to me.

Spencer: No, because I didn’t know that you wanted them at the time. So I left them, but then my Uncle Victor picked them up, and… he left them to me in his will. Um, you know what, though? I just realized — why would you want something that I got from my Uncle Cyrus and my Uncle Victor? I mean, how non-romantic is that? So you know what? I’ll just take these back.

Trina: Uh, no, no, no, no. No, you don’t.

---

Carly: Michael? How can there be news so soon? Was Sonny’s case postponed?

Michael: No. Just the opposite. All the charges were dropped.

Carly: Dropped? How is that possible? I thought the U.S. Attorney had tons of evidence against Sonny.

Michael: All I know is that they said they didn’t have as much evidence as they thought they did. The judge was not happy, but in the end, yeah, the charges were dropped and Sonny’s a free man.

Carly: I mean, that’s great. Totally unexpected… but great.

Esme: You did not like your high chair, did you, buddy? Yeah, Spencer and Trina can have their date. We don’t care, do we? As long as we have each other. Right, Ace?

Jake: Charlotte.

Charlotte: Hi.

Jake: I got us a table.

Charlotte: That’s great. Thanks, Jake.

---

Kristina: Here I took the whole day off to be with you here. [ Chuckles ] I’m really glad I did.

Sonny: Thank you both for being here. It means everything to me.

Dante: Where else would we be? I’ll walk out with you. Come on.

Kristina: Alright. Love you, Dad.

Sonny: Love you, too.

Diane: Congratulations again, my friend.

Sonny: Thank you, Diane.

Diane: As a reminder, these charges were dismissed without prejudice, which means that if they ever do find that evidence against you, they can be refiled at any time.

Sonny: Yeah, I understand.

Diane: Good. Bye.

Sonny: Bye-bye.

Nina: Ready to go home?

Sonny: Yeah. Can you give me a minute with… Dex?

---

N’neka: Curtis? Why are you back here and not out in the main room in the thick of things?

Curtis: Just taking stock. Figuring where I fit in. Or even if I fit in at all.

---

Trina: You just gave me this gift. You can’t just take it back.

Spencer: Trina Robinson, those doves have passed through the hands of not just one, but two of my criminal great-uncles. I mean, I must have been out of my mind to think that this would be an acceptable gift for you.

Trina: Okay, so why did you give it to me?

Spencer: Well, because every time I look at those figurines, I think about how much I missed you last Christmas and how much I wanted you to know that I was thinking about you.

Trina: And that’s why I want to keep half the gift.

Spencer: Half the gift?

Trina: Yeah. Okay?

Spencer: Okay.

Trina:  So… there’s two doves.

Spencer: Okay.

Trina: I want you to take one.

Spencer: Alright.

Trina: And I’ll take the other one.

Spencer: Okay. But why?

Trina: Isn’t it obvious?

Spencer: Yeah, but maybe I just want to hear you say the words.

Trina: It’s a reminder… that just like these two doves, we are a matched pair. And just like these two doves, we belong together.

---

Jake: Did I tell you I started a new painting?

Charlotte: No, you didn’t. What’s the subject matter?

Jake: Well, I wanted to paint something that you’d like. And I know how much you like riding horses, so I’m painting a horse.

Charlotte: That’s so cool. I can’t wait to see it.

Esme: Um, excuse me.

Carly: Yeah.

Esme: I’m ready for the check, please.

Carly: Oh, okay.

Esme: Thank you. Um, but b-before you go, do you still rent the rooms upstairs?

Carly: Um, yes, I do.

Esme: There happen to be any vacancies?

---

Dex: I don’t understand what happened with your case. I thought the U.S. Attorney had a ton of evidence against you.

Sonny: Why weren’t you on the docks when the Feds showed up?

Dex: Carly called me. She got a warning from a longshoreman that he overheard that there was gonna be a raid on our shipment that night.

Sonny: Right.

Dex: I didn’t have a chance to warn the other guys, but I managed to slip out before the raid started.

Sonny: They’re gonna drop the charges on Gabe and the rest of the guys who got caught.

Dex: How is that even possible? Weren’t they caught with multiple Pikeman crates?

Sonny: You know what was in the crates?

Dex: I assumed it was more unauthorized weapons like the last shipment. I don’t see how the guys could get out of that. Then, again, I don’t see how you got out of those charges.

Sonny: The crates were from Pikeman. When they opened the crates up, the Feds, you know what they found? Incredible coffee beans. You did good. Take the rest of the night off.

Nina: Everything taken care of?

Sonny: Yeah, everything’s taken care of. It’s all done. Let’s go.

---

On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase: Something doesn’t add up.

Elizabeth (to Finn): Imagine it because it’s gonna happen sooner or later.

Sasha (to Cody): I have nobody left.

Cody: You have me.

Gladys (to Nurse Janice): How could you let this happen?

Michael (to Sonny): There’s something I need to tell you.

Dante (to Kristina):  I’m not the one you have to convince, remember?

Sonny (to Nina): That was a chance I was willing to take.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

gladys, do you have information for me? Then why are you calling? I’m at the metro court. I have to be here until sonny’s hearing. Listen, I want you to listen to this. If sasha is not home first thing tomorrow morning, I’m going to ferncliff to find out why. Goodbye. There has to be something you can do, though. You’re saying you can’t tell mewho owns this vacant house? Oh, all right. Yeah. Thank you. Hey, anna. Hi. Hi. Um, sonny’s hearing is today. I know. And you have so many connections. I-I was just wondering, do you have any information on what’s going to happen to sonny? I can’t believe sonny came through for me like this. Well, sonny is many things, but he’s always a man of his word. Are we here?

[ Breathes deeply ] We’re getting closer. Are you ready?

[ Sighs ] You know, it’s been a while.

[ Chuckles ] I kind of feel like I’m trying to reclaim ancient treasure. It’s a treasure hunt? Yeah, in a way, yeah. I love treasure hunts.

[ Chuckles ] Well, hopefully, you’ll like what we find. Are you ready to go make some music? Yes! Let’s go!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Water lapping ] Hey. Are you okay? I screwed up, and sonny could spend the rest of his life in prison because of me. I’m so sorry, nina. This has got to be so concerning for you. I don’t have any information about sonny. Well, there has to be something that you can do. Can’t you help diane with this case? I can’T. I mean, it’s a criminal matter. It’s not a personal one. There’s nothing I can do. Well, it feels personal. Someone set sonny up. Yeah. It does. That is a possibility. Maybe it’s the — the person who shot at him at the metro court. We don’t know that that bullet was meant for sonny. Well, it was probably meant for one of you, right? But it hit curtis. Now the poor man’s in a wheelchair.

[ Sighs ] I shouldn’t be too long. I just got to stop at G.H. And pick up an old file, and then I thought I would pick up some wings from charlie’s pub. Sounds good. Good. I’ll be back soon.

[ Footsteps departing ]

[ Door opens ] Hey, son. I have to head over to the savoy to check on these numbers. I-I hope I didn’t screw something up. I’m sure you didn’t, pop. I know it can get confusing. It isn’t hard if you’re confused to begin with.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Breathes sharply ] Portia, I’m heading out for a while! Um, she took off. She went to G.H., Pop. Oh. Well [Chuckles] This isn’t so important it can’t wait.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Look, dad… you guys got to stop doing this. What the hell is going on in here?! And you — what are you doing here? Montague.

[ Breathing deeply ] You’re sasha’s psychiatrist? Of course you are ’cause you’re gladys’s pal. That’s the connection! You met gladys at the savoy in the back room at selina wu’s poker game. That’s where all this started, huh?! You son of a bitch.

[ Breathes deeply ] This producer sonny hired is one of the best. I’m lucky to be working with him. I’m really glad you think so. When sonny first mentioned this, I thought he was just, you know, telling me what I wanted to hear to keep me around town. No, no, no, no. Sonny doesn’t do that. You are here because sonny knows how good you are.

[ Breathes deeply ] All right, well, then let’s get inside so I can thank him again. Oh, uh, eddie, s-sonny’s not here today. Where is he? Well, his record label is paying for this recording session. After everything he’s done, I figured he’d be here. Well, I-I-I’m sure he really wanted to, but — but he’S… he’s got some other obligations today. Yeah, of course. Well, maybe he’ll make an appearance later.

[ Exhales deeply ] I sure hope so. Hey, this is not your fault, okay? If sonny goes to prison, it’s for what sonny did. Do you know how many times he’s almost gone over the years? I was the last one to have the flash drive. It was destroyed, dex. Are you sure? You know what labs are capable of putting back together. It was so stupid to throw it away in a trash can. You could not have known somebody might have found that. I’ve been working for sonny for a long time now. Okay, the feds know that, the other families know that — any of them could have been following me. You don’t even know if anybody has it. I go over it again and again in my head. How could I be so careless when it came to sonny’s freedom?

[ Scoffs ] Because of me! Ava [Breathes sharply] You know that sonny feels guilty about what happened to curtis, and I would imagine that anna does, as well. Y-yeah. I only meant that curtis — no, I know what you meant. It’s — it’s all right. I-I got a very pointed message that curtis wasn’t seeing any visitors. How is he? Trina told me he’s home, and he’s trying to adjust to his new life. She’s taking it very hard, as well. Yeah, I tried to reach out to him. It’s — it’s just not easy. I mean, curtis has always been so active. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Okay, um, if you’ll excuse me… okay. Oh, I did not mean to upset her at all. I — no. Well, no, it’s — I mean, we all know that you’re upset about trina. Right. And how about you? I know that — that sonny’s hearing is this afternoon.

[ Sighs ] How are you holding up? Son, what did I do? Pop, I’ve been back for days. You think because you’re whispering and giving each other looks and signals that I haven’t noticed that I haven’t been alone in this house? We just thought that you might like to have someone here with you. I know what you thought. You keep telling me over and over that I could get my life back to some kind of normal. You want me to go work back at the savoy. I do. Well, if any of you thought that I could get my life back to some kind of normal, you wouldn’t be afraid to leave me alone in my own damn house. I’ve been doing fine since I’ve been here, pop, okay? What I don’t want is someone watching me every minute. You know what, son? You’re absolutely right. Sometimes we care so much, we only think about what it is we can do for the person we love instead of thinking about what it is that they need and want.

[ Sighs ] I’ll see you later.

[ Exhales deeply ] Uh, dad. Thank you.

[ Chuckles softly ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Exhales deeply ] Perhaps no one went over the rules of ferncliff when you were admitted, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Patients aren’t allowed in each other’s rooms, and sasha in particular is very fragile. And you, sir, seem quite agitated. I don’t buy this “caring shrink” act that you’re doing, not for one second. And agitated?

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no, no, no. Try mad as hell ’cause I can see exactly what’s going on here. You know gladys threw selina wu’s card game in the back room of the savoy. You knew that gladys was in debt to selina wu. So wha– did — did gladys ask you for help when — when sasha tried to end her guardianship so that she could keep control of all of her money? Is that what you’ve been doing, doc? You’ve been keeping sasha drugged so that she looks unstable? How much is gladys paying you, huh? How much is gladys paying you to keep sasha drugged?!

---

[ Sighs ] Can’t sleep? Just a lot on my mind. I can’t sleep either. It only gets tougher with age. Mom, what? Well, knowing progressive can protect your home, auto, and business should help you relax. Good, because I could use a good night’s sleep! Me too. D’yknow how early the chimney sweep gets up every day? Wait, is this all a dream? Why would jamie be in my dream? I am america’s biggest spokesperson! -Debatable. -I said biggest! Well, he’s got you there. Just between us, you know what’s better than mopping?Anything! Ugh. Well, I switched to swiffer wetjet, and it’s awesome. It’s an all-in-one, that absorbs dirt and grime deep inside. And it helps prevent streaks and haze. Wetjet is so worth it. Love it, or yo ur money back. (Owner) purina one… we switched and wow! From day 1, its proven natural nutrition supports charlie’s strong immune system… and ginger’s healthy heart. (Vo) healthy differences today and for a lifetime. Purina one. A difference from day one.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Hi, curtis. Wow. This is so cool.

[ Chuckling ] We’re gonna make a song, eddie! Well, this is the place to do it. I’m the producer, johnny. What’s your name? Leo. Great, leo. And you must be ned quartermaine. I’m eddie maine. Oh, I’m sorry. I could have swore the name we have — oh. Y-yeah. There — there must’ve been a mix up in the booking. Um, eddie’s going to be recording today. Okay. There’s so many buttons. Does every one have a different purpose? They do everything… except dance.

[ Chuckles ] But we’re working on that. That’d be cool. This is our engineer. Kira, this is leo, and this is eddie maine. -Kira. -He’s recording today. What’s that green button do? That’s how we talk to the booth. Hey, leo, uh, I’m sure kira would love to tell you about all these buttons after we finish the recording session, okay? So you just sit right here, be quiet, and put your listening ears on, all right? Okay. Okay. And, uh, you’re singing backup? Oh, no, no, no. I — no. We haven’t sung together since I — well, I only — I sing at the nurses’ ball. I’m his…friend. It’s not uncommon for patients at ferncliff to see conspiracies, when in reality, none actually exist. I’m going to confer with your doctor, and I’m going to suggest a stronger dose of medication for you. Because that’s what you’ve been doing to sasha? Okay. No, no, no. You’re not going anywhere, pal. Sasha, don’t worry. This gentleman, and I use that term loosely, is obviously just confused. Is cody right, dr. Montague? Do you know gladys? Well, sonny, he doesn’t tell me anything, but I wish I knew what was going to happen. I mean, what kind of evidence could they have? Mm. Well, they must have something, right? I don’t think the feds would drag somebody into court if they didn’t have evidence.

[ Sighs ] But, nina, sonny has — has beaten more raps than I can count.

[ Chuckles ] What have you told avery? Nothing. I’m — I’m not going to tell her anything if I don’t have to. Yeah, that’s smart. That’s smart. How’s she doing? She’s good. She’s okay. She’s happy. She’s excited that you’re marrying her daddy.

[ Both chuckle ]Really? That’s sweet. Yeah, it is.

[ Chuckles ] You know, nina… as your friend… I need you to face the reality here that even if sonny does get out of this, it’s not the end. Sonny isn’t going to change. This is the life that he has chosen. There will always be something else. No. No way you have any responsibility for what happened. I am the one who wanted to use the flash drive to put sonny away. But — but you didn’T. Because it was destroyed. We had an argument about it, remember? I would have used it, and you wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible. It was still careless. There’s no way you were actually going to use it. I don’t understand. Why? To help my mom. And to help you. Hey, anna. I know you didn’t want to see anyone, um, but that was a while back, and I thought maybe now you’re home…

[ Breathes deeply ] Could I come in? Of course. Thank you. Can I get you something? No, thank you. Anna, the house has been fitted for me, so I can get you a coffee or — or a tea or a snack. No, I’m good. I-I-I just had lunch. I thought portia or trina would be here. Oh, you came to see portia or trina? No, I came to see you. I just thought — you thought I would have a babysitter.

If I’m not playing, I’m not singing.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Look, I just want to make this demo just so I can get a — a sense of the song, you know, maybe play around with the arrangement. Well, did you bring anything? Music, lyrics? No, no, no, no. It’s — it’s all up here and in my hands. Actually, I-I haven’t completed the lyrics yet, but they’re right there, a-and I know that they’re going to come to me any time now. Okay. I just, uh, have to figure out how the story ends. Eddie said his song is like a story, and this one is trapped in marble, like a statue. It just has to be set free. I like that. Well, we’re here to help any way we can. Any feeling about the vibe? The vibe, um… you know, just a — a rootsy acoustic feel, um… I’m just, you know, trying to get my feet wet today.

[ Chuckling ] I haven’t done this for a while. Oh, you’ve — you’ve recorded before? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I recorded a lot back in the day. Yeah, I even had my share of groupies.

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t that a fish?

[ Laughter ] Um, yes, and there are a lot of them in the sea.

[ Breathes deeply ] Sorry, leo. Uh, a groupie is someone who really likes your music. Oh. A fan. Yes, exactly. A fan. A fan. You know, I played this gig many years ago in houston at the cobra, and, uh, it was a packed house. I was stone cold sober. But for some reason, that night [Chuckles] When I walked out onstage, the whole crowd just sort of faded away, and, uh, I felt like it was just me all alone, and, uh, I was singing for just one person. And it was that way for the entire gig. It never happened again, but I always knew that that was, like, the best performance of my life. Johnny: Let’s make this happen. See if we can get you that feeling again. Come on, kira. Let’s set up the mics. I think the two preamp will be best. Yeah. Okay, leo. I’m going to be playing and singing in that room, so — leo: So there’s no bleed through. I know that. You know a lot, don’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Knock ’em dead, eddie. I’ll try. Now, how did you know that? I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was too easy. Please have a seat. I-I-I don’t understand. Well, my father — he just left a while ago, and this is the first time I’ve been allowed to be alone in my own house. In fact, I think it’s the first time I’ve been alone anywhere since the shooting.

[ Sighs ] It’s kind of why I’m here, actually, um… you know, I wanted to come see you after the surgery, but — oh, yeah. No, no. I was pretty adamant with portia that I didn’t want to see anyone. In fact, I was pretty harsh with her and trina. I’m sure they understand, given everything you’ve been through. What you’re going through.

[ Exhales deeply ] You know the bullet wasn’t meant for you, right? I just came here to — to say something that I’ve wanted to say since it happened. I’M…. I’m really sorry. You wanted to help me? I love you so much, and as long as you’re working for sonny, I’m always going to worry that, one day or one night, I’ll lose you forever. Okay. We’ve been over this, joss. That doesn’t make it just go away. I don’t take any unnecessary chances. You could be in custody on your way to prison had my mom not called you and warned you. Is that why you got drunk after the concert? Because you were so worried about me? I hadn’t heard from you. I was stressed out, and I took the easy way out. And, yes, I regret that. You looked like you regretted it when you came home the next morning. Do you have any idea how happy I was to see you? I was happy to see you, too. Stop beating yourself up over something sonny did. I appreciate what you’re saying, but I can only focus on today. Mnh… no. [ Chuckles ] Not really. I think that you should force yourself to think about the future. I learned that the hard way. I have been with complicated men before. Complicated?

[ Breathes sharply ] Mm, okay, that’s one word for sonny. I assume you’re talking about valentin. Yes.

[ Chuckles ] Well, we both know you need more than one word to describe those two. And your point is? I just want you to think about what you’re doing before you do it, not after. I know what I’m doing, and what I’m going to do is marry sonny. And no one can stop me.

[ Chuckling ] Of course I know gladys. Sasha, you were there when I met her when I did your evaluation. This patient is clearly confused, and now he’s confusing you. Why don’t you come with me? No, no, no. Hey. Sasha’s not going anywhere with you. All right, that’s enough. You’ve given me no choice but to get security.

[ Both grunting ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

---

Check, one, two. Check, one, two, check. Hey, how — how do you feel about the, uh, the levels there, eddie? I could use a little more guitar in the headphones. Okay, give me your loudest chords, and we’ll check them again.

[ Chords play ] Honey, I know this takes a while, but it shouldn’t be too much longer now. It’s important to take time if you want something to be good. Did eddie teach you that? Cody.

[ Chuckles ] I hope the song turns out exactly as eddie wants it to. Yeah. Exactly as eddie wants it to. You’re sorry? Yeah. This — this wouldn’t have happened — anna, this is not your fault. Yeah, but someone was trying to kill me.

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m not going to lie. I hate that this happened. Of course. And I may hate it for the rest of my life, and when I found out that I couldn’t move my legs and that the bullet wasn’t meant for me, I hated you, and I hated sonny. But it didn’t last. Why do you think? Because I thought about what I used to do. Oh… I used to chase the most lethal people around, knowing they wanted to kill me, but what did I do? Do you think I went somewhere and hid? No. I lived my life. So then I realizedthat what happened to me could have easily happened to someone because of me. So maybe it’s karma. Or…maybe it just is what it is. That’s incredibly gracious, curtis. I just call it like I see it.

[ Breathes sharply ] Anna. I was wondering whose car that was. Even though I got the job with sonny to spy on him for michael, sonny’s been really good to me.

[ Buoy bell ringing, water lapping ] In a lot of ways like a father. Mm. A father who hung you from a meat hook. I know he had his suspicions about me, but he had no idea what that guy did to me. So…you’re okay just forgetting everything sonny did? It’s hard to explain, joss. I mean, since I’ve gotten to know sonny better… if sonny goes to prison, it’s going to leave a hole in my life. Believe me, nina, I want sonny to beat these charges almost as much as you do. Well, kind of seems like you don’T. What? Of course I do. I mean, for your sake, for avery’s sake. I just…

[ Breathes deeply ] I just think that, at times like these, when things are crazy and — and up in the air, that that’s when we can tend to make bad decisions, and I just want to be sure that you — you weigh everything. I have. Well, as I recall, last time you walked down the aisle, you ended up turning around and running in the opposite direction, right? Because of valentin’s lies. Well, yeah, but sonny doesn’t lie to me. Oh, of course not. And you don’t lie to him. Excuse me.

[ Muffled screaming ]

[ Muffled screaming continues ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Muffled screaming ]

[ Grunts ] Where are you taking the patient, dr. Montague? Uh, my patient needs some stimulation from nature, so I’m taking her for a walk and some fresh air. Who was that leaving with a patient?

---

The siren waits for me

I think I hear her calling

she whispers so silently

the siren I can’t see

[ Exhales deeply ] Sorry, man. Um… uh, can we just punch in? Punch in there? Yeah, no problem. Just, uh, take it where you’d like, and we’ll cut it together.

The siren waits for me

I think I hear her calling

she whispers so silently

the siren I can’t see

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Eddie, “she’s like a shadow…” remember?

[ Gasps ] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. “She’s like a shadow following me.” Thanks. Thanks, leo. Why don’t we just, uh, take it from the top? Yeah.

[ Guitar strumming ] That was dr. Montague. He said the patient needed air. No, dr. Montague would never do that. He’s not authorized to let patients out of the hospital. He’s not on staff. We have to call security. This job means that much to you? It’s not the job. What sonny does — look, I know a lot of the things that sonny does — that we do — are illegal. But sonny has principles. I mean, he has more values and integrity than most men who operate legally even come close to, and deep down, I think you know that. I’ve never had anyone in my life like him. I just feel like he’s taught me so much about what it means to be a man. Well, I guess you’re going to the hearing, then. Yeah. I hope you understand. I do. Thank you for explaining what he means to you. And never forget what you mean to me.

[ Mouths word ] Why are you doing this? You’ve always been so supportive of me and sonny. I am. No, I want to support you. As long as you’re going forward with your eyes wide open. That’s all I care about. I am. I promise. Good. And as far as lying to sonny about turning in carly and drew to the sec, besides martin, you’re the only one who knows now. Mm. To the grave. So, hey, you know, after you and sonny get married, maybe the two of you want to think about… moving into wyndemere.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I love you, and you know I love living with you, but that’s not really my idea of wedding bliss.

[ Laughs ] Living with me? No. Maybe sonny wants to buy wyndemere and all of spoon island. Hey, babe. Anna — anna came by to see how I was doing. I came by to apologize. Well, I told her — where is your father? Oh, he went to, uh, the savoy. He had to take care of some things. And he left. Yes, he left. I’m fine. Of course you’re fine.

[ Chuckles ] I — I should probably go, actually. You know, if I knew you were going to be here, I would have definitely got dinner for three. But let me walk you out. Okay.

[ Keys jingling ] Really good to see you. Okay. I’ll be right back.

[ Door opens ] What made you think that it was a good idea for you to come here?

---

We have an emergency, and we need to enforce a lockdown on the entire building right away. One of our patients, cody bell, is wearing dr. Montague’s clothes, and he’s trying to escape with another patient, sasha gilmore!

[ Alarm bells ringing ]

[ Clicks ] We’re going to get you out of here, sasha. You just have to trust me, okay?

[ Seat belt clicks ] Thank you, sam. You’re the best.

[ Engine revs ] You’re selling wyndemere? Why? Not yet for publication, so don’t go blabbing, okay? No, I won’T. But why?

[ Sighs ] Well, avery likes it, but it’s just the two of us out there, you know? We’re isolated. You’re selling because of nikolas. Uh, I have to admit, I do have a few bad memories. But mainly, it just feels like the right thing to do now. Yeah.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] I have to go. Okay. Nina, I hope I didn’t upset you. Please tell me I didn’t upset you.

[ Chuckling ] No, you didn’t upset me at all. In fact, you made me even more certain that what I’m doing is right. Good. Good. And good luck to sonny. Yeah. And good luck to me.

[ Exhales sharply ] I know curtis didn’t want to see anyone, but I-I-I don’t think I upset him. Well, you upset me. If it wasn’t for you and sonny, curtis wouldn’t be in that chair right now. Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry about that. You’re sorry about that. I don’t think you realize how close curtis was to dying, and now he’s paralyzed, and he could be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but you’re sorry about that. Yeah, I guess it makes everything all better. No, I-I didn’t mean that it would make anything better. No. You and sonny live dangerous lives. I get it. You make deadly enemies, but then you roam around and mingle with everybody else and put other people in danger. And in this case, you put my husband in a wheelchair. We will find out who did this. We will.

[ Scoffs ] And what good is that going to do curtis? Please. Please don’t come back here.

[ Crying ] Okay. I won’T. Okay.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ] Charlie’s had strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert. Portia. I can’t blame anna for this. I can. Ned:

I got lost in a storm

on a boat with no oar

on a sea where I never had been

found my way to the shore

not the same as before

now I’m here in the in-between

ohhh-oh, mm-hmm

ah-ah-ahh

ohhh-oh

when the clouds broke

alive, I awoke

to a misty world like a dream

but I’m fighting the smoke

I could swear that she spoke

who’s that spirit guiding me?

The siren waits for me

I think I hear her calling

she whispers so silently

the siren I can’t see

she’s like a shadow following me

or a distant memory

ohhh-oh, mm-hmm

ah-ah-ahh

ohhh-oh, mm-mmm

ah-ah-ahh woman: Ah-ah

ah-hey

ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

ah-oh-oh-oh, oooh

ahhh-ahh-ahhh

ahhh-ahh

ah-ah-ah

ah-ah, ah-ah-ah – hey, hey, hey – ah-ah-ah

ooh-ooh

oh-oh-oh

mm-mm-mm

anna: We will find out who did this. We will.
