Recap written by Suzanne

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

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

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

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

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

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ]

[ Panting ] Hang on a second.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ “Bridal chorus” plays ]

Gracias por venir a todos.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Gasping, groaning ]

[ Panting ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

[ Laughs ] Oh!

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

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

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

[ Laughter ] You’re supposed to kiss!

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] Give me another hug.

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

Here you go I would love nothing more.

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

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

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Door slams ]

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

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

[ Laughter ] Sonny: Here we go. Yeah!

[ Cheering ] Yay.

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

[ Laughter ] Go ahead. Ahh!

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah!

[ Door buzzes ]

[ Laughs ] Here.

[ Chuckles ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

[ Both laugh ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Line ringing ] Ava: You’ve reached

ava jerome.

I’m unable to take your call.

Leave me a message.

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

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

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

[ Grunts ]

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

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

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Sniffles, sighs ]

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

[ Guitar strumming, cheers and applause ]

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ] You were in my dream.

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ]

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

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

[ Chuckling ] Ah, yeah, well…

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

[ Breathes sharply ]

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

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

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

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

[ Gasps ] Congratulations!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Gasps ]

[ Both screaming, laughing ]

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

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ]

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] What makes sure you, uh,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

General Hospital Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

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

Maxie: I don’t know.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alexis: Aren’t you all fired up!

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

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

Gregory: Wow. Really?

Alexis: I know.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Chuckles ] Hi, there.

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

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

Guard: You’ll find out soon enough.

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

Cyrus: Should I be worried?

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

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

Sonny: Just about.

Nina: What, are we waiting on something?

Sonny: Yes, we are.

Nina: Something for the wedding?

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

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

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

Nina: What is going on?

[ Both laugh ]

Who’s ready for a wedding?!

[ Nina gasps ] Ohh…

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

Brook Lynn: Chase? What happened?

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

Brook Lynn: What?

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

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

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

Gregory: Are you sure?

Finn: She seems pretty sure.

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

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

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

Gregory: Coffee it is.

Finn: Okay.

[ Mouthing words ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And Dante sends his congratulations and best wishes.

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

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

[ Telephone ringing ]

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

[ Knock on door ]

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

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

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

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

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

Carly: Have you had any luck?

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

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

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

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

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

No, I haven’t.

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

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

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

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

What’s it like?

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

Nina: Sonny told me about the gardens.

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

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

[ Chuckles ]

Sonny: I want to thank you, Michael.

Michael: For what?

Sonny: For getting Willow to come to the wedding.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ellen: Because… I’m out of here.

Maxie: Sorry for my outburst.

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

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

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

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

That is — thank you — good news.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Yeah, yeah, uh, but that can wait.

For what?

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

Brook Lynn: Is Gregory in the hospital?

Chase: Mnh-mnh.

Brook Lynn: Where is he?

Chase: Honestly, I-I don’t know.

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

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

Brook Lynn: What? My grandmother knows?

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

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

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

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

Maxie: Can I go first?

Lucy: Oh. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead.

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

Lucy: Just hold that thought, okay?

Maxie: Lucy.

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

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

Brook Lynn: That’s understandable.

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

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

Finn: It was, uh — it was by mistake.

Gregory: How does a mistake like that happen?

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

Gregory: Tracy told Chase?

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

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

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

Alexis: Tough life.

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

Alexis: Judge Albert Kim?

Carly: That’s right.

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

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

Kristina: Thank you!

Nina: “Thank you” for what?

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

[ Laughter ]

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

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

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

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

Ellen: No. I’m out permanently.

Cyrus: This seems sudden.

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

Cyrus: Where are you headed?

Ellen: Texas. Land of the free.

Cyrus: Another prison?

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

Cyrus: What about me?

Ellen: You’ll get yours.

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

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

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

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

Maxie: What?

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

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

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

Carly: Dates and times.

Alexis: [ Gasps ]

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

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

Gregory: Does Chase blame you for not telling him?

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

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

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

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

Brook Lynn: Okay.

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

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

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

Are you serious? Wait.

Willow: Michael is the complete opposite.

Really?

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

Busted.

[ Laughter ]

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

How?

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

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

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

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

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

Cyrus: Oh, I’m sure you’ll tell me.

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

Cyrus: You’re welcome.

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

Cyrus: God helps those who help themselves.

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

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

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

[ Applause ]

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

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

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

Chase: For what?

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

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

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

Chase: Yeah. Sure.

Brook Lynn: What are you gonna do?

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

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

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

[ Door closes ]

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

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

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

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

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

Carly: So that’s great.

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

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

Alexis: Depends on one thing.

Carly: What’s that?

Alexis: How it’s presented to him.

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

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

Ooh! I can’t wait.

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

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

Okay! It would be my pleasure to help.

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

Sonny: I see.

Michael: But she wanted to know how I felt.

Sonny: What’d you tell her?

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

Ellen: Don’t worry, Cyrus.

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

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

Cyrus: Who’s replacing you?

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

Donna and Wiley are all buckled in.

They were asleep?

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

We’re almost there.

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

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

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

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

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

Cyrus: I have one final question.

Ellen: Ellen: One more is all you get.

Cyrus: Any word on my friend Drew Cain?

Why in the world would you care about Drew Cain?

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

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

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

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

Carly: I do.

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Lucy, that was a great speech.

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

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

Lucy: Did you happen to see where Scott went?

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

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] Since when?

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

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

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

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

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

means that he’ll be about lawyers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] Yes, we are.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

[ Door opens ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

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

[ Knock on door ]

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

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Cody grunting ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] I’ve been keeping secrets.

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

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

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

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

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

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

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

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

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

Laura: This is not work.

Kevin: Oh, right. Nikolas.

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

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

Martin: Good morning, Valentin.

Valentin: Morning.

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

Valentin: Thank you.

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

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

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

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

Martin: Of course. It always is.

Valentin: Even if it’s about somebody else?

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

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

[ Cellphone rings ]

Anna: Good morning, Sonny.

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

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

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

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

Sonny: That’s the plan.

Anna: I know, it’s just —

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

Anna: I don’t like to ask for help.

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

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

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

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

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

Sasha: Okay. But what about my doctors?

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

Sasha: Oh, I plan to do just that.

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

[ Knock on door ]

[ Doorknob jiggling ]

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

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

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

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

Laura: Yeah, so what is your point?

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

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

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

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

Sasha: [ Gasps ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nurse Janice: Thank you, Doctor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jordan: Good morning.

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

Jordan: What?

Anna: Is everything all right?

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

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

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

Anna: That’s my bodyguard.

Jordan: When did you start hiring bodyguards?

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

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

Anna: Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Jordan: Meaning?

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

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

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

Valentin: Both.

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

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

Martin: And you learned otherwise?

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

Martin: And you saw Charlotte doing what, exactly?

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

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

Valentin: I think she’s the perpetrator.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laura: Yes, but without my son.

Kevin: You saved yourself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laura: London.

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

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

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

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

Martin: For what purpose?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jordan: What makes you so sure?

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

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

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

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

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

Nurse: Time for your morning meds, Sasha.

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

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

Sasha: Of course. That’s my goal.

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

Sasha: I tried that. It almost killed me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sonny: You didn’t knock?

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

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

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

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

Sam: The charges against Cody were dropped.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Valentin: Okay, I appreciate that. Ask away.

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

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

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

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

Martin: Where’s Charlotte now?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laura: I do.

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

Laura: That’s my hope.

[ Cellphone rings ]

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

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

Laura: Okay, great. Valentin, hello.

Valentin: Laura, hi. Any sign of Nikolas?

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

Valentin: You think Nikolas is in London?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Valentin: It’s Charlotte.

Laura: Charlotte. What about her?

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

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

Jordan: Is Valentin helping you out?

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

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

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

Jordan: Which means…?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Laura: Charlotte is in trouble? What happened?

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

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

Valentin: I’m saying I need your help, Laura, and so does Charlotte, desperately.

Laura: Then you’ve got it. Okay, look, I will take the first flight to Port Charles. Um… I’ll just get there as soon as I possibly can.

Anna: Oh. Uh… so this is where you’ve been hiding out.

Sonny: Gladys. Looks like you’re headed somewhere.

Gladys: Uh, well, what — what can I say? With everything going on with Sasha, I… my own nerves were shot, and I just need a break, a little vacation.

Sonny: Yeah, it’s a lot of luggage for a little vacation. Where are you going?

Gladys: [ Stammering ] Just some quiet spot just to take a beat and, you know, calm down.

Sam: That is not true. She’s clearly running away.

Sonny: What are you running from, Gladys?

Sam: She’s hoping to get out of town before the truth about Sasha comes out.

Gladys: Okay, okay. You know what? You’re partially correct, but you always got to put a negative spin on things, right? I — I — yes, I’m leaving town, but it’s — it’s only because I cannot bear to stay here and watch the disaster that Sasha’s life has turned into.

Sonny: You are her legal guardian. You’re obligated to stick around.

Gladys: But not — not while she’s in Ferncliff. I can’t do anything for her while she’s there, and that’s — that’s why I thought this is the perfect time for me to go somewhere and get my own head on straight.

Sonny: That — that sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] Sonny, please tell me you’re not buying this BS.

Sonny: But, Gladys, can I just ask you one question? How are you going to pay for this trip? Because I already know you stole Sasha’s money to pay back your gambling debt to Selina Wu.

Gladys: No, that’s not — that’s not —

Sonny: Shut up. I’m — I’m done with your lies, and I’m going to make sure that you don’t lie again.

Sasha: Stay away from me.

Dr. Montague: Sasha, you’re confused. I can see the agitation in your face. This medication will help you calm down.

Sasha: Somebody help me! Dr. Montague’s trying to inject me with something! I do not consent!

Dr. Montague: No one can hear you, Sasha, and no one is coming to save you.

Sasha: [ Screaming ] Help me! Help me! Please! Help me! [ Screams ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase (to Tracy): You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what’s going on.

Anna (to Valentin): Why would you keep this secret?

Trina (to Spencer): I couldn’t believe that you did that for me.

Gregory (to Alexis): You want to help me knock another one off the list?

Sonny (to Gladys): I know exactly what you did, and now you’re gonna pay for it.

Dr. Montague (holding Sasha hostage): I’m walking out of here and taking her with me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

trina: Thank you. Here you go. Sir. Appreciate it. Enjoy. Thank you. Oh, my god. That was amazing! The sets, the costumes, the music. I felt like I was actually at the moulin rouge! Didn’t you love it?! I did, though I did have a little bit of difficulty paying attention because I had a very pretty girl sitting next to me who I kept stealing glances at. Well, I’m definitely not as exciting as the can-can. Oh, I would disagree. To me, you are. I’m not sure toulouse-lautrec would agree. Well, it made me happy to see you so happy. Couldn’t take my eyes off you. Well, how can I be anything but happy? I’m in an incredible city with the most incredible guy. Who’s incredibly hungry. What do you think?

[ Laughs ] I’m starving. Hello, handsome. Ah. The door? I didn’t mean to wake you. No apologies necessary. I love waking up to you.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Grunting ] Bad dream? Unfortunately, it’s not a dream. It’s, uh — it’s my reality. -Mom? -Hey. What are you doing here at this hour? I need your help. I saw willow at G.H. She’s — she’s with drew. Yeah, she insisted on checking on him, so I stayed with the kids. H-how is drew doing? He made it through surgery. He’s lucky to be alive. They almost beat him to death. He shouldn’t even be in pentonville. I have no idea what the hell that judge was thinking. I do. Judge kim used drew to advance his career, and I need you to help me prove it. Nurse baldwin, where have you been all night? The first time I’m seeing you. It’s been so busy. I’ve been assisting in surgery for the past three hours. What about you? Why are you here so late? Well, I couldn’t leave without saying hi to you.

[ Rain falling ] You’re all wet, madam! Nothing gets past you, giles. Why is it only raining on this godforsaken island?! You know, not a single drop anywhere else! Spoon island is a microclimate. Oh. Well, thank you for the science lesson. Well, I’m not meant to be dry today, obviously, so in keeping with the wet theme, I’m gonna go and take a long, hot bath. No, you won’t, madam. Just stop it with the “madam,” giles, and tell me, why can’t I take a bath? I’m sorry, but the hot water heater isn’t working due to intermittent power outages on the island from the storm. Oh. Right. The microclimate, huh? Precisely. Well, please tell me that the vodka and olive situation hasn’t been affected by the storm. Not to my knowledge. Hot dog! Well, fix me a martini, will you? And I’m gonna get out of these wet clothes. How would you like your martini? Dry, giles. Very dry. Banker muller: Welcome, ms. Spencer. Oh, actually, it’s collins now. Oh, I’d love for you to meet my husband, dr. Kevin collins. Ah. Hans muller. Pleased to meet you. Mr. Muller. Have a seat. Thank you. I’ve known your lovely wife for years. Oh, yes. My gosh. How long have we been doing business? Wait. Don’t answer that. I don’t think I want to know that number. But he’s been a friend of the family for a long time. So what can I do for you, mrs. Collins? You can help me find my son.

I’m flattered. But I’m not buying it. What? There’s gotta be another reason you’re still here. Your shift ended hours ago. Oh, I am insulted.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, well, maybe I am waiting around for some lab results, but the thought of seeing you was an added incentive for sticking around. Oh, well, you won’t be seeing me around here at night anymore ’cause the kids are done with camp, school’s about to start, and I have to switch back to days. I like seeing you anytime I can, but I got to admit, these — these nights have been kind of special. I wouldn’t necessarily call a 12-hour shift “special.” I sort of meant spending time with you has been nice. Our talks on the roof. When you stole my spot? O-okay. I thought we pretty much cleared this up. That bench was always my spot. I’m pretty sure

you are the interloper. Interloper? I’ve never been described as an interloper. Well, if the bench fits. Hey, whoever gets there first, okay? That sounds like a challenge.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Pager beeps ] Ugh. Patient calls. Good night, dr. Finn. Good night, nurse baldwin. So how’d it go with charlotte? I’m sure she was excited, you know, spending the night at your place. Yeah, she was. She was. It’s just she’s going through a lot right now. It’s difficult for her. She’S…acting out. S-she’s, what, 14? It’s hard for me to believe this, but she’s 15. Well, acting out comes with the territory at that age. Yeah. You got to be, you know — have patience with her. I am. I am. It’s just… yeah? You know, when valentin and I were together, I was her stepmother for a while. And even though we’re not together now, I still think of charlotte as my family. Family is very important. It’s the most important thing. Yeah. Hey… since we’re on the subject of family… …we need to talk about yours. Not that I don’t appreciate the company, but what are you doing here, willow? Michael and I heard about the attack, and we were so worried about you. Hm. I had to come see you. So michael stayed home with the kids. Well, that is very sweet. But you didn’t have to come. It’s the least I can do.

[ Chuckles ] You literally saved my life. If you hadn’t rescued liesl, I wouldn’t have gotten the bone-marrow transplant, and I might not be here. A visit from me certainly can’t compare, but I wanted you to know that I’m thinking about you. Thank you. Is there anything you want or need to talk about? The attack? No. No. Well, there is — there is one thing I need to know, and it’s — it’s pretty important. Anything. I need to know how wiley’s tee-ball team is doing.

[ Chuckles ] My son has been missing for months now, and I’m afraid that something’s happened. He hasn’t contacted you at all? No. No. And he left behind two sons. One of them is just a baby. And I don’t believe that he would just abandon them. So I’m actually kind of afraid that maybe he’s being held against his will. Kevin and I have been searching for him for weeks now, but we haven’t come up with any leads. We’ve been to all the cassadine properties in russia and greece, but there’s no sign of him. I’m happy to try and help any way I can. But what makes you think nikolas is in geneva? Because his money is here. Ava: Thank you for making this fire, giles. I know it’s a bit early for it, but I was so damp. I feel better already. And, you know, I’ll feel even better once I get the martini.

[ Electricity crackles ][ Thunder crashes ]

[ Gasps ] Ohh! Oh!

[ Gasps ] I’m so sorry. Let me get you a napkin. No, no, no, no, no. It’s quite alright. I told you I wasn’t meant to be dry tonight. This came from the real-estate agency. Oh, thank you. Well, thank you so much. I’m off this evening, but there’s plenty of food in the kitchen. Well, I’ll be having a liquid dinner. Thanks so much. And get home safely.

[ Thunder rumbles ] I cannot wait to move off this island. What a beautiful night. Thank you, spencer. There’s no reason to thank me. All I did was place a few phone calls, one to the hotel, another to the restaurant, and then to the ticket concierge. It’s not a big deal. Well, though everything has been wonderful, I’m not talking about the reservations. I know how hard it is for you to get away, and you have to deal with esme and be there for ace. And I just want to let you know how grateful I am that you made time for us. I love us. Me too. And… I love you, spencer cassadine. So very much.

God. I can’t believe this is all my fault. This is not on you, mom. Oh, michael, it is, too! I’m the one who insisted on investing in aurora. I’m the one who took my chance and I put all my money into that stock. That’s what led to the insider-trading charges. You had no idea that was gonna happen. Yes, someone is to blame, but it’s not you. Whoever called the sec, they’re to blame. Do you still think it was ned? There’s no way to know. Now that he thinks he’s — he’s eddie maine, we may never know, but I’m — I’m working on it. What do you mean, you’re working on it? I may have a lead on the whistleblower, okay, but — really? Yes, but that’s not gonna get drew out of prison any sooner. I’ll fill you in later, but right now we need to focus on getting him home. Okay. Okay. I reached out to diane. And she thinks that our best strategy is to put pressure on the judge to either reduce or commute drew’s sentence. Okay, well, how do we do that? I have some information on the judge, and I’m gonna use it. And these days, all the kids get a trophy. And wiley didn’t understand it at first, since, you know, they lost every game. He said, “mom, I thought only winners get trophies.” So I told him everyone is a winner at tee-ball. Ah. Well… has he maybe tried soccer? Oh, no. Young mr. Corinthos wouldn’t even consider it. I’m afraid wiley takes after his dad. He is so stubborn. He will not give up no matter how many times he strikes out. Aww.

[ Laughs ] Nina came last week, and she could not believe how committed our slugger is. Wow. Well, that must mean that you and nina are getting along, huh? It’s going better than I ever imagined. Nina’s been respecting boundaries. She always calls to make sure it’s okay to come over. She’s great with the kids. And wiley loves his grandmother. Lights up when he sees her. I’m so happy that things are going better. That’s great. And how’s michael doing with all this? I mean, has his opinion of nina changed? Like I said… michael’s stubborn. Something happen between you and michael? No. No. It’s not michael. It’S…gladys. What did she do now? Well, sonny, she’s in serious debt. She owes a lot of money to selina wu. Well, that’s somebody you don’t want to mess with. How’d you find out? She came to me. She came to my office. She asked me for money. She wanted me to bail her out because she was too afraid to approach you. Let me guess how she got into this hole. Gambling. She lost a lot of money. Apparently she’s been playing for months. Damn it! The hell is wrong with gladys?! Didn’t she see what gambling did to mike? It pretty much destroyed his life! What was she thinking?! Well, that’s the point, sonny. She wasn’t thinking. And I hate to tell you this, but it gets worse. Before she came to me, she found another way to get the money. How? Gladys was stealing money from sasha. Here’s to the end of the wyndemere era. Good riddance to this place and everything that happened here. Is this how it ends between us, ava? You turned my own son against me? You saw fit to weaponize spencer! I can’t take credit for that. You did it all by yourself. When avery is gone, I guarantee you will feel an emptiness in your soul like I will for the rest of your life.

[ Grunts ] Unh! We have a saying in the U.S. “Follow the money.” That’s what led us here. Is there anything you can tell us? Nikolas indeed has a substantial amount of money with us, but it’s separate from the cassadines’ estate. As you know, the assets are entailed, so they belong to the estate and can only be used by the designated heir. Nikolas has several separate accounts. A large amount was sent to him by his uncle victor. My condolences on his death. Oh, that won’t be — are there… has there been any recent activity in nikolas’ accounts? Yes, as a matter of fact, there’s been quite a bit. There have been several withdrawals at this bank. Well, have you seen him, then? No, but let me print out all the records for you. I’ll be back in a second. Thank you. Thank you very much. This could mean that nikolas is alive. Oh, kevin. I hope so. I do not believe you. What? That I’m in love with you? You better believe it. No, no, no. It took you so long to say it. I was just professing my love to you back in the hotel room, and then you didn’t say anything back, so I just assumed that — that I didn’t feel the same way. Well, I didn’t know. Why didn’t you say anything back then? Well, I learned a thing or two from aunt stella. She said good things come to those who wait. Okay, well, I would have waited an eternity to hear you say those words. And I’m so glad that you finally did. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not exactly the most patient person in the world, trina. Oh, no. You?!

[ Laughs ] What are you thinking about, spencer? How I am the luckiest guy in the world. I’ve loved you for so very long, trina. Since the day that I met you. That was a long time ago, wasn’t it? We’ve certainly been through a lot since then.

Just the way you say my name trina!

[ Gasps ] Thank you for catching me, mr. Cassadine. Well, I’ll always be there to catch you, ms. Robinson.

You make me catch my breath

I knew the night we met

I was never leaving trina: They’re beautiful. Spencer: Every time I look at those figurines, I think about how much I missed you last christmas. Just like these two doves, we are a matched pair. We belong together. Do I make your life better or just harder? Seems like you’re there for me when it’s important. No, it seems like I’m always the one who is getting you into dangerous situations. That’s okay. I wouldn’t change it. Spencer!

Ohh, I need yes! Yes! Yes!

Here and now, kiss me now

baby, you’re my everything trust that I’m not going anywhere.

Hold me close

all I know, here’s where I want to be the best is yet to come.

So you’re telling me that gladys is stealing from her daughter-in-law. Yeah, gladys has been siphoning money from sasha’s bank account for months until she drained it. And she was desperate because she still owed selina wu a lot of money. And then when sasha came to gladys and said that she wanted to end the conservatorship, then she panicked. Gladys doesn’t want anyone to know what she’s been doing. Sasha came to me months ago and said she felt stronger and she didn’t need a guardian. Gladys told me that… she was against ending the guardianship. Are you trying to tell me that she… tried to make sure this didn’t happen? Sonny, gladys did a lot more than just that. I get where michael’s coming from. I really do. We all know how carly feels about nina, but, man, I just keep getting reminded. Not only is life short, it is so fragile. We shouldn’t just waste our time arguing with people and holding grudges.

[ Inhales sharply ] It just takes too much energy. I know. After losing my mother, I realized how important family is. I mean, harmony was never really my family, but the quartermaines are. Mm. I feel so blessed to be a part of them. They are so generous and loving and — and crazy. And stubborn. And combative. And —

[ Laughs ] I know, I know. But I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Neither would I.

[ Faucet squeaks ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Screams ] Okay. Here are the current records for mr. Cassadine’s accounts. Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh. Wow! Ha. There are quite a few withdrawals, aren’t there? And these dates line up. They started just a few months ago. Yeah, right after nikolas went missing. And my colleagues tell me the withdrawals were made in person by mr. Cassadine. Uh, as you can see, there’s a recent transfer for a substantial amount. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] I will leave you with these records. I have to attend to another matter. Thank you. I — you’ve been so helpful. I can’t thank you enough. Always a pleasure, laura. And nice meeting you, dr. Collins. We appreciate you looking into this. Thank you. Of course. He’s alive. My son is alive. Oh, thank god! And this might lead us to him. Ohh. Would you like to see our dessert menu? No, thank you. We have to get going. I’ll take the check. Thank you.

What are we thinking?

[ Laughs ] I’m not thinking. I’m tired of thinking. I don’t want to think anymore. Me neither. Gladys insisted that sasha needed to leave ferncliff now. I mean, she needed to get away from this so-called doctor that was taking care of her, and the only way to do that was to pay this guy off. Son of a bitch! Yeah, well, a lot of stuff happened, but the bottom line is, cody bell broke sasha out of ferncliff. Dante’s friend? Yeah. I mean, somehow he got into ferncliff and he took her with him. Gladys said that cody kidnapped her, but I don’t buy that. I am sorry that gladys put you in this position. No, I-I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you earlier. I was just trying to fix it myself. Anyway, you do not need to apologize. Gladys is family. I’ve put up with this way too long. That’s on me. Gladys will be dealt with. Thanks for coming to see me.

[ Monitor beeping ] So, diane said this judge is hoping to get a seat on the circuit court, and it’s really important because it’s a stepping stone to the supreme court. What does that have to do with drew’s sentence? He was hoping to look good. I mean, he may have given drew a harsher sentence because he wanted to look good to the justice department. I don’t know, michael. I don’t know. I know it’s all speculation and it’s gonna be really tough to prove actual misconduct. What if we don’t have to prove it? What if the appearance of misconduct is enough? What do you mean? Well, let’s say that we get this story out in the press. Maybe drew’s case gains some traction. Yes! We could get alexis to run a piece in the invader, and that would put pressure on the judge! We have to tread lightly, though, because alexis is a former attorney and she’s scrupulous. Alexis wouldn’t run a hit piece on judge kim just because you ask her to. She wouldn’t do it for me. But there’s someone else she’d do it for. What the hell are you doing here? Did giles let you in? What? The guy in the penguin suit? Oh, he’s long gone. What do you want, mason? Well, it depends. What are you offering? Nothing. I said my piece yesterday, so get out of here! I said get out of here, or I’ll call the cops! Go for it. We’ll be long gone before they even get here. We? Yeah. Spencer…

it’s your love

I’m caught up in the midst of it

feel my touch, such a rush

right here in the thick of it

now I see you’re all I need

here and now, kiss me now

baby, you’re my everything

hold me close, all I know

here’s where I want to be

just the way you say my name

it pulls me closer in

you make me catch my breath

I knew the night we met

I was never leaving

and now I see you’re all I need

here and now

kiss me

now

Ahh. Alexis just doesn’t write a story at anyone’s request, so who are we talking about here? I’ll let you know when it works. But you — you said you had a lead on who tipped off the sec. Yeah. You know how I was convinced that it had to be ned. But then before eddie surfaced, ned said that he had nothing to do with it. Yeah, and olivia insists that ned is innocent. And until ned knows who he is, we’re not gonna get any information there. I know. I know. So I’ve taken other steps to get to the bottom of this. I was able to cultivate a contact at the sec. We are going to find out who turned you and drew in. That’s a promise. You know, honey, we can’t fix anything tonight, so why don’t we just — why don’t we go to bed? Okay? Come on. Yeah. What’s all that? Oh, this is just a few things that olivia said she was gonna send me for wedding planning. I thought it was a few things and not “war and peace.” I mean, meghan and harry had less paperwork. It’s gonna take me forever to get through all this stuff. You know, I just — I’m just not in the right head space for any of this. You got a lot on your plate. I do. I do. I’m up to my neck in the december issue of crimson. And get this — we were supposed to have a photo shoot. No, we are gonna have a photo shoot tomorrow, but my model, she bailed on me last-minute, so we’re in a scramble to try to find somebody el– you know what? It doesn’t even matter. The most important thing is us. The only thing that matters is planning our wedding. No. Actually, the only thing that matters… is getting married. How can — what are you doing here? I came looking for you. Why? I came to warn you. Warn me? About what?!

[ Mouthing words ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] I have no words for you.

[ Laughing ] Wow.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Wow. Ohh… you see anything? I’m looking for a pattern, some clue as to where nikolas might be now. But, you know, it’s this one very large withdrawal. Do you think maybe he opened another account so that he could maybe hide what he’s doing or where he is? Maybe. But we’re not gonna figure out anything right now. Let’s take these back to the hotel for champagne. For champagne? Yes, champagne. This is information worth celebrating. Yes, it is, isn’t it? Oh, yes! My son’s alive, and that is worth celebrating. Oh, my goodness. And our search was not in vain. I’m not going anywhere with you. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. You stay away from me. You ratted us out, ava. Wasn’t smart.

Amy, have you checked on mr. Lamming in 1002? I have, and he’s fine. Good. You look tired. You want me to get you one? Nothing like a little caffeine to help get you through the night shifts. Ooh. No, no, no. I will never sleep tonight if I have one of those. Dr. Finn! Here are the labs you’ve been waiting…for. Thank you. Uh, wait a minute. Why do you both have wet hair? Hey. You know when I’m happiest? When? When I’m with you. Really? Really. I mean it. Hello. I assume you’re here for more money. Yes. I need to make another withdrawal. You just missed your mother. Oh. Did I? Yeah. She was here with her husband. They’re looking for you. See, nikolas, your mother is a very gracious woman. She loves you. And your disappearance… gave her a large amount of pain. Be a good son… and do the right thing. I plan to.

[ Thunder crashes ] Carly: Why aren’t you sleeping? You should be resting. I got some sleep. And then willow came to visit. And I’m sure that I’m going to — I’m gonna nod off again. So I’m good. You — you should go home. You should be with the girls. Josslyn’s with them. They’re fine. I’m not gonna stay long. I just needed to be with you. Even if it’s just to watch you sleep. I love you. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Don’t worry. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re damn right it’s gonna be okay… because I’m gonna make sure of it. Is drew okay? Yeah, I-I think so. It looks like drew will recover. The surgery went well. We had a good visit. I’m really glad I saw him. Willow, what’s wrong? It — it’s — it’s nothing. Willow, if you’re not feeling well, you have to tell me. No, no, it’s — it’s not that. After I left drew’s room, I sat in the lounge for a bit and nodded off. Willow, you’re pushing yourself too hard. You should have waited before going back to work. Okay. I guess I was a bit more tired than I realized. But that’s — that’s not what’s bothering me. I… had the strangest dream about my mother. What, nina? No. Harmony. But it was only a dream. I don’t care about the dress and the flowers and the — the cake. It doesn’t matter! Well, it seems like it matters to you ’cause you’re doing a lot of planning. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I mean, I have, but, you know, it’s all so insignificant right now with everything that has happened this last few months, with sasha being committed and curtis getting shot. I mean, planning a big wedding, I feel really guilty about that because a lot of people that we love are suffering. Yes. I got an idea. You do? What? Why don’t we elope? I’m serious. Listen. All we care about is to say our vows and become husband and wife. You even said that you don’t want to deal with this right now. I know, but — but — sonny, elope? No, it’s — the planning’s gonna be out of control. Olivia’s gonna keep coming to you with, you know, more options. Do we really care what icing is on the cake?

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. It’S… we will fly to the island tomorrow. We will get married. What do you say? I say yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ta-da!

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. So… …what do you think? I think… …it’s perfect. It’s hard to believe that we had to leave port charles just to come all the way down to nyc to spend some quality time together. Not that I’m complaining. Neither am I. Stop right there, partner! Unless you’re lookin’ for trouble.

[ Water sprays ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughter ] Gotcha! Not for long! You can’t get me here!

[ Gasps ] Aah!

[ Laughter ]

[ Water sprays ] Hey, joss. What’s going…on?

[ Laughter ] You must have pulled some serious strings to get a visit at this hour. The warden owes me one. I hope you’ve come to give me good news about drew cain.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] I love you, carly. I love you, too. So much. I’m gonna get you out of pentonville. I have to. Hey. Dr. Montague. Thanks for coming in on such short notice. Well, not a problem at all. Anything I can do to assist. Yeah. We just need to get to the bottom of a few things. I’m happy to help. Great. Follow me right in here. I’ll take your statement.

[ Door closes ] New intake.

[ Police radio chatter ] Uh, I will be recording this, just so you know. Would you like some water? Oh, no, thank you. Go on, dante. Get him. Well, gladys, will you do it? Will you confess and testify against dr. Montague? Please, sasha. If this comes out, sonny will kill me, literally. Like dr. Montague was planning to kill me? But I-I-I didn’t know he was gonna do that. I never wanted to hurt you! No. No, no, no. No. You just wanted me to be locked up and drugged so you could steal my money. Sasha. No. That is not how it was at all. I got in a jam. Things got out of control. You’ve got to believe me. I would never, never agree to that! I love you! Then prove it! Confess and help me put away dr. Montague for good! My frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. For one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Dr. Z!We love your skincare videos. Thanks! My daughter has sensitive skin. Same. Try using all free clear as part of your family’s laundry routine. It tackles impurities without leaving irritating residue for a clean that’s gentle on skin. All free clear. The number one doctor recommended brand for sensitive skin. Okay. Okay. I’m gonna run and pick up the tickets, okay? What? Yeah, I just have an errand to run, and then I’m gonna check on a few of those surprises that I have planned. You’re gonna abandon me? No. No, not at all. I just thought that it might be nice for you to decompress a little bit after the flight. Okay. Yeah. That — that works for me. Okay. But hurry back. Yeah, I am. Of course. It’s not gonna take long. I’ll see you soon, okay? Okay.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles softly ] Hey, mom, it’s me. We just made it to nyc safe and sound. Tell curtis and marshall I said hey. And I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Okay? Bye. Love you. Mommy, we got you! You did! It’s like the O.K. Corral in here, huh?

[ Chuckles ] Here. Thank you. Um, girls, I think we’re gonna have dinner soon. Why don’t you two cowgirls go upstairs and wash up, hm? Girls: Okay. Come on, avery. We’ll ride our horsies upstairs.

[ Laughter ] So, uh… what brings you by? I just wanted to say good night to avery. Yeah. I know that your mom is at the hospital with drew. I just came from there. Oh, yeah. That’s why I’m here holding down the fort. Um, is there any news? Is drew awake? No, not yet, but he’s out of surgery, and the doctors seem very confident that everything went well. That’s so good to hear. Thank you. Yeah. Of course. We’re all worried. Drew doesn’t deserve this. I owe him so much for everything he did to bring trina home. She really means a lot to you, huh? She’s like a daughter. You know, you’ve really done a lot for trina, getting her that internship at the chuck. You’ve taught her pretty much everything she knows about the gallery and the art world. I think that she’s really lucky to have you in her life. I know that she really appreciates you. I appreciate her, too. Okay, well, I better go up and be sure those girls and their horsies aren’t getting into any mischief.

[ Laughs ] Isn’t it a risk, us meeting here? I mean, we’ve been so careful. Relax, mason. The cats are asleep. I’m not worried about the prisoners, cyrus. But the warden? The warden is busy with drew cain. Alright. So tell me what you’ve heard about my friend. Nothing. All austin could find out was that cain was in surgery and… it wasn’t looking good. There are those of us who become casualties in god’s grand scheme. But when you choose the side of the devil, you willingly stake your life on a losing hand.

[ Door opens ] Oh. I’m sorry, ms. Spencer. I didn’t know you were still here. Oh. I-I, um… I wanted to stay until he woke up, you know?

[ Monitor beeping ] He looks so vulnerable hooked up to all this. He’s been through a lot. We have to monitor him closely. After the trauma he experienced and the surgery, he’s likely to be out for the night. Let me know if you need anything. Oh. Um, the doctor said the surgery was a success. Yes. He’s very lucky. Could there be complications at this stage? Try not to worry. How is he? Really. I mean, how is he?

[ Weakly ] He’s doing pretty good.

[ Groans ] Better because

you’re here. Hey. Warden, you really didn’t need to come all this way just to visit drew. I would have been happy to report his condition. Not at all, jordan. This attack should have never happened. I pride myself on the security at pentonville, and this was a major fail. I had to make sure for myself that mr. Cain was okay. You’ve brought so many reforms to the prison. It’s impressive. But we can’t rest on any laurels. Something brutal like this means we have a lot more work to do. I’m eager to see if mr. Cain can shed any light. It’s certainly suspicious, though. The severity and duration of the attack suggest there might have been some coordination between prisoners and guards. Dr. Montague, thank you for coming in. We want to get to the bottom of this. As I’ve told your detective, I’m glad to assist and help recover ms. Gilmore. She’s at risk out on her own.

[ Beep ] This is dr. Damon montague’s statement on the assault by cody bell and the events that happened at ferncliff. Well, um, I found cody bell in one of my patients’ rooms, and he attacked me. Attacked you why? I was making my rounds, and I heard some animated voices coming from a room. When I opened up the door to check it out, cody bell went crazy and he jumped me. So why didn’t you call security before you entered the room? It was a room for one of my troubled patients. Sasha gilmore’S. Yes. Yes, she’s very vulnerable, and I was afraid for her life. I’ve been treating her for some time, and, frankly, I’m quite shocked with how much she’s declined since the stabbing episode. And you think cody bell is the one who attacked you? Yes, he jumped me, and we fought. But mr. Bell was crazed, and he knocked me out. When I came to, I was in the bathroom, tied up, and he had taken my clothes. When cody was arrested, he was wearing the clothes you say he stole from you. And in the pocket, we found these. Can you explain those? H-how — how can I prove it? I-I didn’t know what montague was planning to do! But you knew him from your card games. You got him to give me pills that messed with the antidepressants I was already taking. You and dr. Montague did that to make me look unstable so that you could keep the guardianship going. I was desperate. I am so sorry. Well, if you’re really sorry, then there’s only one choice. Help me put an end to dr. Montague. He has to be stopped. Okay. Okay. I will do whatever you want.

[ Sighs ] You will? I will go to the police, tell them everything dr. Montague did. Okay. Well, I have to wait here. But this is your last chance, gladys. I am trusting you. Of course. Of course. I won’t — I won’t let you down. I feel so terrible. Hey, hey. Make sure to not tell anyone that you saw me, okay? This has to come from you speaking from your own conscience. Okay?

[ Sighs, sniffles ] Hello. I have information about an escaped fugitive.

So, dr. Montague… what do you have to say about these pills? I have never seen those before in my life. But it makes sense. How so? Well, it appeared that sasha was getting drugs from inside ferncliff. Maybe cody was her dealer.

[ Sighing ] Alright. Well, uh, that definitely does help us clarify some things, dr. Montague. Thanks for your cooperation. We may need to speak to you again. I’m at your disposal. Okay. We’ll be in touch. Oh, no, no, no. H-hold on. Y-you’re letting him go?!

[ Grunts ]

[ Knock on door ] Gladys?

[ Knock on door ] Sasha gilmore? No. No. No. Please remain calm. We are only here to escort you back to ferncliff. No, no, no, no! I can’t go back there! Please. Please. You’re making a mistake. I cannot go back to ferncliff. Please. Please.

[ Gasps ] Gladys. Why? Why, gladys?! Why?! You’re awake. Oh, my god. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. No. I’m sorry. No. Come back. Get over here.

[ Laughs ] Welcome back, mr. Cain. How are you feeling? Uh…good. I mean…I’m here. Okay, but you’ve been through a rough surgery. You have to be very careful not to exert yourself too much.

[ Exhales heavily ] Yes, ma’am. I’ll let the doctor know you’re awake. If you need any help with pain management, just buzz me. Make sure he doesn’t overdo it? Oh. I will.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. I’m so glad you’re awake. It was so hard w-watching you lay here like this. I’m so sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s not okay. You were only in pentonville because of me. Carly, come on. You’re not to blame. I’m fine. How can you say that? You were only attacked because of me. And sonny.

[ Beeping continues ] Warden garten: You think there could have been collusion between prisoners and my staff at pentonville? It’s certainly suspicious. Drew’s injuries indicate a lengthy fight. I’d like an investigation into who was on duty during the attack.

[ Elevator bell chimes ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Ready to help me? Put that over there. Donna. Okay, sweetheart. I have to take this. Yeah. In. Nice job. Trina! What are you doing? Where’s spencer? He went to go pick up the tickets for the theater. But we’re here! Look at this place!

Oh, my god. It’s amazing.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Wait. Tell me everything. How was the flight? I’m assuming you flew first-class.

Joss. Oh, come on. Enjoy it.

[ Sighs ] Okay. It was amazing. Spencer has this special key, which meant that we get to board first.

And they treated us

like royalty. They gave us these heated nuts, and then they gave us little mints and fresh-baked cookies when we landed. Was there a driver waiting for you? With the sign — “cassadine.” And the driver took us directly to the car, and we didn’t have to wait for the luggage.

Wow.

Say what you want

about spencer, but that guy’s got game. Yeah, he really does.

So…? So, what? So, are you excited? I mean, this is huge! You and spencer haven’t really been able to explore your relationship since greenland. I mean, tonight’s the night. Josslyn!

Trina, it’s your first time with spencer. Okay? How are you feeling? I mean, I know that you’ve thought about it. You still feel ready? Absolutely.

[ Sighs ] I’ve been ready for a while now, and we’re never alone. Well, you’re alone now. Yeah, we are. I feel really good about spencer. We’re in a really great place right now. I’m so happy for you!

Okay. Go. Go. Get ready for your night.

But call me later

with every detail.

Maybe not all

of the details. Just know that I’m here for you, okay, no matter what.

Okay. Oh, is that ava? Is she there with you? Yes, she — she came by to say hi to avery. Um, listen. Have a great night. You know it. Tell ava I said hey. Okay. I will. Love you. Love you more.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Door opens ] Okay! We are all…set. I picked up the tickets, and everything else is running on schedule. “Everything else”? Mm-hmm. What else do you have in store for us? Oh, you’ll see.

Well, don’t keep me in suspense. I could tell you, but then it would ruin the surprise, so… mm. Okay. Well, don’t ruin the surprise. No, I’m not going to. That would take all of the fun out of this. But I’ll tell you what. We are in the capital of the western world, so what would you like to do? What would I like to do?

[ Sighs ] Everything! Uh, I want to see soho. There’s a couple of galleries that we deal with there. Then I want to go shopping, I want to go eat, and then I really want to see the big four. Oh, the big four? Yeah. Moma, guggenheim, whitney, and the met.

[ Sighs ] I am so glad that you said that. What? Why do you have that smile? I thought we weren’t ruining surprises. You didn’t say it had something to do with a museum. Okay, okay. I’ll tell you.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Saved by the bell.

[ Chuckles ] Cody! Cody! Get off! This isn’t helping! Cody! Get off! Let go of him! Get off me! Okay. Okay. Sorry. Sorry about this. Alright? Dante, you can’t let him walk! Hey! Take him to his cell. -Mac! Mac! -Man, no, we can’t — sasha? What are you doing? You have to be careful. Carly. You are not to blame, okay? It was — it was my choice to help sonny. It’s not your responsibility to fight sonny’s battles. It’s not just sonny’s battles. It’s other injustices, too. But you don’t have to fix everyone’s problems. Look at you. You know that I can’t stand by and I can’t watch all that stuff happen. The — the drug problem itself is heartbreaking enough, okay? If I can help root out the corruption, I am going… to do it every time.

[ Door opens ] Drew. You’re awake. Drew: Mm. You had us so worried. Aw. Thank you, jordan. How you feeling? I’m sore, but I-I’ll be okay. Warden, I’m kind of surprised to see you here. Warden? How the hell could you let this happen to drew? What kind of prison are you running?! I sent you with a message to my nephew’s ex-wife, mason. It’s been more than a handful of days. So, what was the dear lady’s response? Um, well, she’s not the one that we have to worry about. Betty’s the problem. What are these?! Um, t-those are chopsticks. You eat with them. Chopsticks!

[ Laughs ] Thank you for getting the delivery. Oh. Yeah. Of course. So, h-how was trina? Oh, I mean, she’s great. She says hi, by the way. Her and spencer made it to new york. Mm. That’s great. I hope she has the time of her life. I’m sure she will. Well, joss, thank you for being here with avery. I know things haven’t been easy. I-I’ll get out of your hair. Ava, we have way too much food for three people. Would you like to stay for dinner? Well, I would like that very much. Thank you. Okay, cowgirls! I think we need some more chopsticks ’cause I’m staying for dinner! Hooray! Yay!

[ Cork pops ] Champagne? Yes, please. There you are. And we’re done.Hm, what about these? Looks right.

You’re supposed to be protecting the inmates! Carly. Warden garten’s on the same page as us about getting justice for drew. She’s here to help us brainstorm on how we can reopen the case and maybe get it before another judge. Sorry. I — I am really upset about all this. I understand perfectly. And, mr. Cain, I owe you a deep apology. The warden wants to drew out of pentonville just as much as we do. I’m just as upset as you are, miss spencer. Drew ending up in a hospital bed was never the outcome I wanted for him. I feel terrible. And I wanted to see if you could shed any light on the situation. The only important thing is to get drew out of pentonville. I couldn’t agree more. Listen. I’m — I’m sorry, boss. I really thought we could trust betty. She may have gotten too cocky and let down her guard and showed corinthos her cards. Is that what you think happened? Well, it’s possible she turned on us. You know, sonny’s a very powerful figure. Um, and persuasive. So she may have decided to strike a deal with him. Sasha! What happened?! Gladys! What did you do to her?! Dante, you better see to getting miss gilmore back to ferncliff. No! No! I can’t go back there! Please. Mac. Mac. Hold on. Dante, don’t do it. Make sure nothing happens. They’re expecting her. You can’t take her back there! Dante, please. Ferncliff? Sasha, it’s okay. It’s just for a little bit just so we can sort this out. No! No! Please, dante! Sasha. Sasha. It’ll be okay. I will get you out of there somehow! Um, listen. Would you mind waiting? Um, I need to take cody back to processing, and then I’ll be back to follow up with you. Thank you for calling and letting us know sasha’s whereabouts. I was just trying to help my poor daughter-in-law. Mac, do not trust her. She’s behind all of this. Please. Please. Cody, let’s go. Come on. -Mac, I’m telling you. -Let’s go! You have to look more into what gladys is doing! Mac: Go! Oh, my gosh. Look at all of this. Is that really caviar?

[ Chuckles ] I know it’s a little bit cheesy, but I just couldn’t resist. I figured, why not go all-out? Well, let’s go.

[ Chuckles ] I’m really happy that you were able to come along this weekend. I know you’re really busy right now, what with school starting and finishing that paper. Which I finished, no thanks to you. Well, I can’t help wanting to spend all of my free time with you. And I’m really glad that ava was able to give you some time off from your duties at the gallery. Yeah. Of course. I mean, it’s no trip to turks and caicos like you wanted during hurricane season, when probably we would have been stranded on some island for some weeks before we got rescued. So you discovered my master plan — being marooned, just the two of us, on an island. Mm. Well, when you put it like that, it does kind of sound nice. Just the two of us. I am sorry that it’s taken us so long for us to have some alone time with each other. It’s okay. No, it’s not. I just had to be sure that esme wasn’t going to run away with my little brother. But I’m glad that she turned out to be dependable. Did we come all this way just to talk about esme?

[ Chuckles ] No. No, of course we didn’T.

We do have a dinner reservation to get to. Hm. Yeah. Okay, well, let’s get to it.

[ Chuckles ] We don’t have to go so fast. We haven’t even done a proper toast yet. Then let’s do a toast. To the woman I love. To us. To us. Okay. Okay.

[ Clears throat ] Dinner. A quick shower.

[ Door closes ] Rest assured diane and I are exploring all legal loopholes and case precedents. We’re doing everything we can. Thank you, jordan. I know you’re really going above and beyond. No, drew. We’re just doing what has to be done. You shouldn’t be in pentonville, and we’re gonna solve this problem and get you out. -Thank you. -We’re in this together. Warden, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you anything helpful about the fight. The attack! You were attacked! Don’t worry about that, drew. You just focus on your healing. And I’ll see you soon. Or hopefully not. Okay. Wait a second. Isn’t there something we can do to make sure drew doesn’t go back to pentonville? Some kind of medical exemption? We’re looking into that. Don’t worry, miss spencer. We will do everything we can to make sure nothing like this happens again. You have my word. Thank you. Carly: Okay. That’s good. You know? I mean, thank god we’re not in this alone. Hopefully diane and jordan — they can come up with some kind of a miracle, right? Hey. What? Come sit with me. Please? Okay. We’re alone. Together. No talking about prison or trials or any of that. Just — just…

[ Groans ] Just the two of us. God. I mean, I was so worried, dex. Why was drew a target for such a brutal beating in the first place? I mean, thank god he’s awake.

[ Clears throat ] I — um, I got to go. I’ll call you in a little. The girls are all washed up, ready for bed. Okay. The playroom is still a bit of a mess, though. Oh, well. That’s nothing new. And they’re waiting for the bedtime story that you promised. Okay. So is there any — any word about drew? Yes. My mom called. He’s awake. Well, that’s a relief. Drew shouldn’t have gone to prison in the first place. I mean, who the hell tipped off the sec? They could have gotten him killed. You okay, gladys? How can I be? Thanks to you, my daughter-in-law has completely lost touch with reality! Yes, it is really sad. But she’s gonna be taken care of in ferncliff. I’m gonna see to it personally. No! No, dante, please. Sasha. We’re gonna get you out of here, okay? I promise you that. No. Please. I-I don’t belong here. Okay? I-I-I shouldn’t be — no, no, no! Orderly: This is for your own good. Come on. Is that really necessary? Hey, it’s part of the intake order. Please, please, dante. Do something. Look. It’s best that you leave. Sasha, we’re gonna get you out. We’re gonna get you out. Okay? I promise you that!

[ Exhales heavily ] Wow. Trina. Oh, my goodness. You look amazing. You don’t look so bad yourself, mr. Cassadine.

[ Chuckling ] No, no, no. This is one battle you’re not gonna win. Trina, you are breathtaking. Can I help you with your necklace? Necklace? Oh, my gosh. Spencer. It’s beautiful. May I? I wanted you to have something permanent. That way, you would always be able to remember our weekend together. Ohh. Perfect. Okay. Dinner awaits. Let’s go to dinner. You think it’s possible that betty was unable to fool corinthos and instead chose to join forces? It’s possible. No, it’s not possible. And you’re an idiot for thinking that. It was an easy job. Betty had no reason to betray me. Sonny accepted her too quickly. Which means ava’s the one who did it. And for that sin, she’ll have to face divine retribution. Oh. But what about cassadine? He — he was very clear about not hurting her. I don’t care what my nephew said. He’s not the one running the show. I am! Get it done!

[ Door slams ] I’m glad to hear that drew’s awake. Well, I’m glad that you came tonight. I think it made things much more normal for the girls. You know, joss, I couldn’t help but hear that you were on your phone with dex. H-how is it having a boyfriend working for sonny? Why do you ask? You may not remember, but I am the daughter of a man whose business dealings weren’t always… “inside” the law. We probably have more in common than you think. And if you really want to know why I want to know, it’s because you’re trina’s best friend. And what affects her matters to me. And I want to be sure that you’re taking care of yourself, that you’ve got your eyes open wide. Because you will need crystal clarity to navigate a relationship with someone in the business. Well, the girls were hoping for “hoppity moppity kuddly kangaroo.” Okay. Take care, joss. You too.

[ Door opens and closes ] Oh, hey, nina. It’s me. I just found out that — that drew woke up. So you won’t have his death on your conscience. I hope if anything good comes out of all of this, it’s that we can finally get justice for drew and push for a retrial. Drew doesn’t belong in pentonville. I’ll help in any way I can to ensure an early release. Thank you, jordan. Mac, you can’t let sasha stay at ferncliff. Dr. Montague — dr. Montague isn’t gonna do anything to sasha. She is not safe there. It’s only for a little while. We’ll get sasha out but going through the proper channels. Mac. Don’t worry. We’re doing everything we can. Let’s go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

eddie maine. Hey, marshall. Are you — are you ready for the big night? Yeah. Yes, I am. And thanks again for booking me tonight. I appreciate it. Oh, no need to thank me. I just made a suggestion. It was curtis that got the pr machine rolling. When curtis throws a party, people want to come. Yeah. I wasn’t sure after that crowd the other night.

[ Both chuckle ] You mean “lack of crowd.” Yeah. And we’re gonna try and keep that a thing of the past. Oh, zip! I’m just checking in, man. You got everything you need? I do. Uh, I’m just finalizing the set list here. N’neka: Excuse me. Marshall? And there’s just… h-hang on a minute. What is it, love? …Just one problem. Look at this. Stage all set up for your father to play. It’s surreal witnessing eddie maine’s universe taking physical form. Brook lynn, your father, he is — he is so excited about this. And I’m just — I’m getting all caught up in it with him. You say that like it’s a bad thing. No, no, no. No, no, no. It’s not that. It’s not that. You’re still hoping that his half-finished song helps him remember who you are, who we all are. No. Not who we are. Who he is. Brook lynn, I-I know that you think I’m crazy hanging all this hope on a — on a half-finished song, but…there was something in him when he played it for me. And talking about muses and — and everything, I just felt it in my heart that — that there was something deeper in there. Like — like ned was — was underneath… wanting to climb out, you know, and this song was his way back to us. And e-even when he was recording it, there was a minute in there that I — that I just felt that he was about to remember something. And then marshall offered him this gig and the challenge to finish the song and — and play it here tonight. Honey, I’m just — I’m so afraid [Exhales sharply] I’m getting my hopes up over something. Maybe it’s just a — a very beautiful song that doesn’t mean anything at all. Olivia, don’t worry.

[ Sighs ] At least eddie accepts us all now. Right? He’s getting to know us in a new way. What if he gets to know us… and he decides that he doesn’t feel the same way about us that he used to?

The role of molly lansing-davis is now being played by kristen vaganos.

Hey, uncle curtis. Tj, molly. Alright, I’m glad you guys could make it. We’re looking forward to having a good time. Kinda like this party’s just for us tonight. We do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, you do. And I’m glad I get to celebrate with you. Olivia, I’m so sorry. There’s someone I got to see. Go. Hey, blaze, you got my text. I’m so glad you made it. Yeah. Thanks for the invite. I’ve never heard of eddie maine. Well, he’s a little before our time. So it’s a comeback? Oh, he’s come back alright. Eddie maine’s actually my father. Your father? Okay. You said your father was a musician, but isn’t your name quartermaine? Yeah, he — he dropped the quarter and just stuck with the maine. Why don’t the two of you get some drinks on me? -Okay. -Happy to.

[ All chuckle ] Curtis, look how many people are here! Hey, babe. Ah, well, you know, um, I just put some feelers out, talked to some old friends — people I haven’t seen in a while. That was it. Well, when you call, they come. Well, dad wanted to pack the house for eddie maine’s debut. He asked me to pull out all the stops. And voil. Voil. Oh. I wish trina was here to see this. Where are my red pumps? I just had them earlier. Here you go. Oh, my god. Thank you. T, you have got to calm down, alright? Everything is going to be okay. This is spencer’s fault that I’m late. Hello, my name is spencer cassadine. I’m calling to confirm concierge service for my flight to new york. We will be on time. Okay. Perfect. I will see you soon. Uh, spencer, you left this in the kitchen. I thought you might want it for your trip to new york. How’s it going in here? Get anything out of this guy? Uh, shouldn’t be too much longer. Right.

[ Door closes ] Sam. Hey. Is dante here? He’s in the interrogation room with a prisoner — cody bell? Oh. Is he expecting you? No, but, um, I’ll shoot him a text and let him know that I’m here. You know what? Forget that. I’ll announce you. I’d rather watch college football. You know, it’s — it’s less predictable, raw. Cody, no way. By the time they get to the pros, it’s — no. Absolutely — dante. Sam’s here to see you. How about I, uh, let her in and you all can tell me what’s really going on here?

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh.

[ Knock on door ] I’m almost ready, but… I thought you were going to text.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Gasps ] Sasha! Oh! Thank god!

did you have a desk sergeant notify gladys corbin that cody bell was in custody knowing that she would show up here and that I would be the one to deal with her? Yes, but it’s only ’cause I knew you could handle it, man. I’m sorry. Didn’t want to do that to you, but… well, I could

barely handle her. That woman is crazy! The only reason she gave up and left is because she got a phone… …a phone call. But you know all about that, don’t you? Look, we have reason to believe that gladys has been embezzling from sasha. What? That call… that’s how gladys found out… that she was being investigated. I’m so glad to see you, sasha. Really? Well, it sounds like you were expecting someone else. Well, um [Chuckles nervously] W-where have you been? H-how did you get away from cody? The police have him in custody, but no one had seen you, and he refused to say what had happened. I mean… I feared for the worst. I was so afraid for you. Were you? Of course. Well… what’s with the suitcase and all the clothes, gladys? Were you going somewhere? Sorry about that, eddie. You were saying? Oh, I was just saying how much I appreciate the chance to play. Oh, man, don’t I know it? As a musician, there’s no substitute for performing. It’s not only a reward, it’s — it’s the greatest teacher, shows you what’s working, what needs help, keeps all the creative juices flowing. And it’s a great way to test new material. Speaking of which, brother, I cannot wait to hear your new song.

[ Exhales sharply ] About that…

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] Alright, guys, look, uh, I think this is the set list. I decided to put that idle rich song right there instead, so someone can just make a copy of that.

[ Knock on door ] Eddie? Um, uh, yeah, so we’re good? -We’re good for tonight? -Yes. Cool. And thanks again for coming in early for the quick run-through. Go get yourself a beer. -Alright. -See you later. Cool.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Sorry. I didn’t mean to drive everyone away. No, not at all. You know musicians. Any excuse to get a beer. Right. [ Chuckles ] Listen, I just came to tell you that I know you’re going to do great tonight. I just wish my mom was here to see it. I — I know you — you don’t remember, but, um, growing up, I heard countless stories about eddie’s performances, you know, listening to cds. And now here I am, about to hear it live for myself. I can’t wait.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, brook lynn. Yeah. Break a leg, eddie.

[ Door closes ] Hey. Hey. Congratulations on being brook lynn’s first client. I’m absolutely thrilled. She’s going to do a great job for you. There is nobody more dedicated than brook lynn when she puts her mind to something. Then that’ll make two of us. I plan to match her dedication.

[ Laughs ] Okay, so tell me about eddie maine. He’s brook lynn’s father? She was a little vague about it. Yeah, that — that — that’s a long story. That’s what she said. Mm… let’s just say it’s been a while since eddie’s performed in front of people other than busking in rice plaza, so we’re all a little bit on edge tonight. So how are the soon-to-be parents? Still on cloud nine. Yep, yep. Aww! We wanted to tell my mom tonight, but she had to cancel at the last minute. Oh, well… but we’ll tell her soon. I just want the whole family to be in the loop. Well, all you got to do is tell aunt stella. Ooh.

[ Laughs ] I mean…

[ Laughter ] Uncle? Uncle? I’m not touching that.

[ Laughs ] Michael, lighten up. Seriously. Willow was cleared by a team of doctors, and she’s already back at work. Yeah, I know, but it doesn’t mean that you got to come out the gate like a bull, though. I mean… coming to a club is not charging out of the gate.

[ Chuckles ] It’s just — it’s just, your first day back at work, I figured you’d want to stay at home and relax after all that exposure and stress. A night out will help reduce the stress. And the exposure is actually good for my immune system.

And vodka does wonders to keep things sterile. Okay. Sorry, kristina. Just sparkling water for me tonight. Oh, no, of course. You, on the other hand, if you are not careful, michael, you’re going to turn out to be as type-a and controlling as molly.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

[ Suitcase zipping ] Esme. Hey, there you are. I want to go over everything one more time before I leave. Spencer, you can’t go. Hey, how’s eddie doing? He is not nearly as nervous as we are. He was just going over the set list with the band. Oh, well, maybe that means that he finished the song. I don’t know. He’s — he’s being so tight-lipped about it all. Well, he didn’t say anything to me. Maybe he wants it to be a surprise or something?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. Okay. Okay. I’m going to go thank marshall and curtis. It’s really marshall’s challenge that made this whole thing possible. Okay. So, olivia told me the whole long story about eddie. What a history. Oh, yeah. That history has crash landed right into the present day. That must be so strange. I guess you knew that your dad had that double life back in the day, but now after his head injury, he’s really become this guy eddie maine? That’s what he believes. So, there’s your dad, except he’s a completely different person? How does that even work? About as well as you can expect. I miss my dad, of course, but I’m really starting to like eddie. I mean, we all are. Everyone except for my grandmother. You see all these happy people here? You think they’re here for eddie maine? Nah. Nah, they’re here for you. Pop, we already went over this. Curtis… this club is you. You are this club. When you — when you pulled out all those pr stops, you got this. You got this crowd here. You got them here. And it’s because of you that they’re all here to see eddie maine’s big comeback, man. Pop, we’ll talk about it later. But one thing I can say…

[ Sighs ] …Feels good to be back in the mix. And another good reason to be glad you didn’t sell this club to that woman. I haven’t really made a decision on selina’s offer yet. Marshall, curtis, I just want to thank you for supporting eddie tonight. You’re welcome. So what’s going on with you and, uh, molly? See for yourself. Tj, she’s coming over here. It’s okay, mols. Hello, you two. I hear congratulations are in order. You’re gonna be parents!

[ Chuckles ] Well, whether you want to believe it or not, I am very, very happy for you both. Okay. That’s all. You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already? That’s covid-19. So I got this season’s shot designed to keep up to date with recent variants.

[Thwack!] Got it? Listen, your deodorant just has to work.I use secret aluminum free. Just swipe and it lasts all day. Secret helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. And hours later, I still smell fresh. Secret works! Ohhh yesss. Why give your family just ordinary eggs when they can enjoy the best? Eggland’s best. The only eggs with more fresh and delicious taste. Plus, superior nutrition. Because the way we care is anything but ordinary. Schwarzkopf keratin colortransforms your ha ir and helps it break away from damage for strength and a rich striking color on all hair textures. Let the world see your strength. Schwarzkopf keratin color. My frequent heartburn had me taking antacid after antacid all day long but with prilosec otc just one pill a day blocks heartburn for a full 24 hours. For one and done heartburn relief, prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Yeah, whilecody isn’t innocent — he had to break some rules to help out sasha — but he’s not as guilty as the charges would imply. Yeah, it’s just a matter of getting the evidence to prove it. Wow. I never would have thought gladys would do something like that to sasha. But thank you for figuring it out. Yeah, we’re all grateful for that. Look, sasha’s a friend. So if there’s anything that I can do to help take down that doctor and prove yours and sasha’s innocence, just, uh, ask. Yeah. Well, my part’s done. What happens next is up to sasha. I was packing to go search for you, sasha. Really? I would go to the ends of the earth for you. Oh, is that where you were going? O-or where were you planning to look? I…thought I would check out where cody came from originally. Um, finger lakes region, right? Um, I mean, maybe he had an accomplice. Cody did not have an accomplice. But you did. What is with spencer? I couldn’t get rid of him before, and now he’s late? Trina, spencer will be here, okay? He wouldn’t miss this for anything. Aren’t you excited? Of course. I’m just… a little nervous, which is to be expected. Yeah, it is. Joss… I don’t want to back out. Spencer and I are ready to move to the next step, and I really want to explore new york with him. Did I tell you that he got us third-row center seats to “moulin rouge!”? Yes, once or twice.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Gasps ] Finally. Spencer. Hey, where are you? I’m still at my grandmother’S. What? What are you doing there? I thought you said we had to — trina, we can’t go. We can’t? Why not? Ace’s daycare called, and one of the kids has chickenpox. I guess that ace was exposed and now there’s a chance that he has it. I’m really sorry, but… I can’t leave him right now.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Guitar strumming ]

The siren waits for me

[ Muffled ]

Siren of the sea I know she’s out there, beckoning me da-da

[ Sighs ] Hey. Hey. I’m not intruding? Oh, no, no. Come on in.

[ Door closes ] Come on in. Uh, you missed the sound check. Oh, I’m sorry. I — I didn’t want to — I didn’t want to crowd you. You know, I know that’s a technical time to work out the kinks and all of that. Truth.

[ Sighs ] Plus, I’d rather have you be there for the full effect of the, you know, on stage, in front of the audience. That’s what I’m looking forward to. Wow. You… you really aren’t nervous at all, are you? Eh, a little bit. But that’s only natural. You know, this is in my blood. It’s what I live for. It really is, isn’t it? Well, I — I —

[ Chuckles nervously ] I just — I just came here to wish you good luck, and… and I wanted to bring you a gift. Oh. That’s nice.

[ Laughs ] Dinosaurs? Yeah. Leo wanted you to have it. Ah. He said, “tell eddie to rock the house tonight.” Well…

This is such a nice gift. Thank you for coming back to give it to me. Olivia? What’s wrong? Nothing. I — I just… I just wanted to wish you good luck. Or break a leg or whatever it is… that you say. Well, with leo’s bandana and your great mojo, I’m bound to be a hit. I know you will be, eddie. And I, um, I just… I can’t wait to hear that song. Hopefully you finished it, and we really find out who that — that siren in the sea… really is. Uh, yeah. This is detective falconeri. I need a records check on a dr. Damon montague. Yeah. Priors, prescription history, job history — all that kind of stuff. Yeah, that’s right. That’s the name. Hang up.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Yeah. Thank you. That’d be great. Yeah, as soon as you can. Thanks.

[ Sighs ] What can I do for you, scott? I’m here to see my client, cody bell. How was sasha doing? She was strong. She was ready to face gladys.

[ Breathes deeply ] I should have never left her alone. No, cody. She was determined to see this through. I — I wanted to go with her, but she refused. And if I didn’t think she was strong enough to handle this herself, I would have insisted on going with her. You know, I — I can’t help it, sam.

[ Exhales sharply ] Gladys is dangerous. She’s been able to manipulate sasha in the past. What if somehow she does it again? W-what are you talking about? What — what accomplice? Dr. Montague.

[ Chuckles nervously ] Okay. You must be confused. The court appointed the doctor. I mean… it’s perfectly u-understandable after everything you’ve been through. I get it. Why don’t you sit down? And I’ll make you some tea. I don’t want tea, gladys. And I am not confused anymore. I know exactly what you did. All I’ve ever done — steal from me! You used your position as my guardian to drain my bank accounts. You sold brando’s garage behind my back. Your own son’s blood and sweat, and you treated it like it was nothing! I told you why I had to — stop it! You stop talking right now! I know everything, gladys. Everything that has happened to me is because you were worried that you would lose your meal ticket. So when I wanted to end the guardianship, when I wanted to get control of my life… you panicked. I might discover everything you stole from me. So you got dr. Montague to help you cover it up, huh? And that’s why he prescribed me those pills. Pills that interfered with the medication I was already taking. I started hallucinating, gladys. I was paranoid and scared. You drove me to insanity. You made my life a nightmare!

[ Sobbing ] And you know what the worst part is, gladys?

[ Sniffles ] I actually… I actually thought that you loved me. How could you do something like this? How could you betray me at my lowest point when I trusted you with my entire life?! Hey, babe. Hey! Hi. Good to see you. Blaze! It is great to see you. Hey, former partner. Great to see you, too. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me. Blaze just signed with me. She’s my kick-off artist.

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations to — to both of you. No, I can see this. This is a great partnership in the making. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I got to borrow my stepdaughter for a minute. Okay. Uh, don’t go anywhere. Okay. Olivia, what’s wrong? What? Is something wrong with eddie? No, no. Eddie’s fine. I just made a complete fool of myself. W-what? What happened? I went into the green room. I was going to give him the — the — the bandana that leo wanted him to have, and he was saying thank you to me, and he pulled me in close. I thought he was trying to kiss me, but he just wanted to give me a hug. And I just… felt so embarrassed. I started babbling about “break a leg” and all this. I ran out of the room b-babbling — a complete idiot. Okay, olivia. Okay, just calm down. Just take a minute. What’s the problem? I wanted to kiss him! I wanted to kiss eddie maine! I feel so guilty. Is — is this like — it’s like — it’s like I almost cheated on my husband. With your husband, you mean?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what I mean anymore.

[ Sighs ] You can stop checking on me, michael. I am fine. Better than fine. I just can’t take my eyes off you. You’re too beautiful. You were saying? Hey. Look over there. Isn’t that…? Oh, my god. It’s tracy. Hi. What can I get you? Uh. Scotch, rocks. Make it a double, please. You got it. Oops. Sorry. My bad.

[ Chuckles ] We meet again. Yeah, I’m here with brook lynn. Oh. She’s my new manager, you know. That’s fantastic. Congratulations. Oh, wait, so that’s what you two were so hush-hush about at charlie’s? Oh, you cracked the case. Nice. What about you? Here with a boyfriend? No. God, no. No, no, no. I-I’m here with my — my brother and his wife. They have two kids, so they don’t get a lot of alone time, and I’m just…you know, giving them their space. Well, brook lynn’s boyfriend just got here, so I’m sort of third wheel with them, too. Sounds like we should stick together. Oh, I like it. Good evening, everyone. -Hey, hey. -Hey. May I have your attention?

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all for coming. We have a lot to celebrate tonight, but firstly, I want to send a shout out to my son, curtis. Curtis ashford, in the house.

[ Cheers and applause ] I know you have all been missing him around here, and many of you have come because of his specific invitation. Now, not only did he invite you to the greatest party this side of port charles — that’s every night except tuesdays — private parties — see the lovely n’neka.

[ Cheers and applause ] Bookings welcome. That’s a commercial, yes.

[ Chuckles ] But seriously, tonight, the savoy is so pleased to bring you a very special performer. And rumor has it he might even debut a new song. So without further ado…

skiddle de bop, shoo bop, jam, bam! Let’s give it up for eddie maine!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ] Hello. Hello. Port charles! Yeah! I missed you. I missed you. Are you ready for eddie?

[ Crowd cheers ] Let’s do it!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I mean, obviously, spencer needs to stay. If ace ends up with chickenpox, he could never forgive himself for leaving. Yeah. I mean… it’s totally understandable. And besides, I have plenty to do this weekend. I really should do another draft of my essay for my art seminar. And I know ava could always use extra hands around the gallery. You know that… you don’t always have to make the best of everything, right? I mean, yeah, it’s a weekend canceled. It’s not a tragedy, but it’S… for sure a letdown, and… it’s okay to be disappointed. Even pissed off? Yeah. Even throw things. Like this? Well, that’s not exactly what I had in mind. Then again, you were always more level-headed. I was just really looking forward to it, though. Hey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Is there any sign of a fever? You know, ace actually seems fine. He’s sound asleep. Okay, well, I’m going to take this stuff upstairs, and I think that one of us should stay up with him, you know, just in case.

[ Cellphone chimes ] We can alternate shifts. Spencer, wait. Um… what? I just got another text from the daycare. Did cody call you to come down here and represent him tonight? Well, I always represent him. And I got a tip that you had hauled him in. And I didn’t get a call from him, so I figured you didn’t give him his call, which as you know, due process. Oh, I can see you’re worried, scott, but, look, there’s a lot of phones here. Cody could have used any one of them to call you. Yeah, yeah, but if you denied him right to counsel, that’s grounds for a heavy lawsuit there, dante. Almost hefty, even. Here. Tell you what. Why don’t you come in here? You can talk to your client. Cody, your lawyer’s here. What? Wait a minute. Why didn’t you tell me he was here? You’ve got it all wrong, sasha. Cody filled your head with lies, twisted everything around. That is not — I mean, how — how many times did you remind me to take those pills dr. Montague gave me? A-and when I started spiraling, did you — did you even think twice? Did you have a moment of remorse? Or were you just so worried that I would find out what you stole that my — my falling apart was a relief? I was never relieved. Do you have any idea what you put me through, gladys?! When I was at ferncliff, dr. Montague injected me with drugs. He kept me delirious and barely conscious. I couldn’t fight him, gladys! And when cody and i escaped, we found an unmarked bottle of pills in his jacket pocket. I think he was going to stage an od. He was going to make it seem like I had bought drugs and I took too many. Did you know that, gladys? Did you know that he was going to kill me? No! Was that part of your plan?! Oh, no, never! I never wanted him to hurt you. I did everything I could to stop him.

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you! Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause continue ] Tracy. That’s nice of you to show up for your son’s debut. So what’d you think? I…I think you should mind your own business and go back to your wife. Come on, tracy. Don’t be that way. It’s a nice night. The family’s here to support eddie. The least you can do is get into the spirit of things. I’m here, aren’t I? And you know what? Speaking of spirit, how about you make yourself useful and go get me another drink? Scotch, rocks. With pleasure. Ned: Okay. I’m sure this next one everyone will recognize because it was originally recorded by the king, mr. Elvis presley. One, two…

[ Cheers and applause ]

\

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. For this next song, I’d like to dedicate it to someone very special, someone who has helped me find my way back to the stage. She certainly has my back, and, uh… she’s the best friend any guy could ask for. Olivia quartermaine. Play the new song, eddie! Play the new song!

[ Chuckles ] Okay. That’s marshall right over there, in case you didn’t know. Yeah, marshall is right. I — I am working on a new song, but I — I haven’t finished it yet, marshall. So I don’t think everyone here wants to hear a tune that’s half-baked. So instead, I am going to play an idle rich classic from my old eddie maine days. You ready? -Yeah. -Okay.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Got many a horse tucked under the hood

my paint is shiny, and my engine’s good

[ Laughter ]

I’m built for comfort

I’m built for speed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

all the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

your hunting’s over, your shopping’s done

open me up, let my motor run

satisfaction is guaranteed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

my needle’s rising up in the red

my pistons pumping, I see curves ahead

I’m gaining traction, I’m gaining speed

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

all the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man you’ll ever need

[ Cheers and applause ]

There’s only one race I don’t drive to win

the one called loving and sometimes sin

I’m a winner by nature, but this time I reckon

I’ll let you finish first, but I’ll come a close second

[ Laughter ]

All the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede I’m all the man you’ll ever need.

[ Cheers and applause ]

All the man you’ll ever need

ain’t no limit I won’t exceed

one night together, I’m sure you’ll concede

I’m all the man, I’m all the man

I’m all the man you’ll… ever need.

[ Cheers and applause ] That’s right! That’s right! That’s right!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

[ Knocking on door ] Did you forget your key again? Spencer. Hey! [ Chuckles ] I booked us on another flight, and our car’s waiting. Well, what about the chicken pox? It was a false alarm. Yeah, the daycare texted. They said that it was just poison oak. Ace was never exposed to chicken pox at all. Really? Yeah. Yeah! -Oh, my god! -Yeah! So, I have the perfect defense. Sasha has a history of violence. She attacked the reporter. She stabbed you. So we’ll just say that she kidnapped you. No, no, and — and no. Look, scott, I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but I wasn’t kidnapped. I broke out of ferncliff, and I took sasha with me. Quiet! Okay? There’s a copper here. I…I didn’t hear anything. Did you hear anything? Not a thing. You know, we’re going to leave you two alone. You can confer with your lawyer. T-that’s not really necessary. No, I have to. If I don’t give you the benefit of counsel… no. …Cody, it could result in a real hefty fine. Bye, cody! Sam!

[ Chuckling ] Sam. Hi, scotty. Oh, man, you know, the amount of times that cody has pissed me off, I never once wished scott baldwin on him. I think cody can handle scott. I am more worried about… sasha being able to handle gladys. I swear I didn’t know what montague was doing to you. I would never have gone along with it. How can I believe anything you say, gladys? You stole from me. You lied to me… undermined my belief in my own recovery and my sanity! You claimed that you loved me. You — you drove brando and me home from the hospital the day liam died!

[ Crying ] You’re supposed to be my family! I didn’t mean for any of this… okay. I…had a problem. A losing streak. I got in over my head. I — I was gonna pay all the money back, but I kept losing it. I… I didn’t want you to find out I was borrowing from you. Didn’t want you to hate me. I just… I just needed the guardianship to go on a little bit longer. It was that montague! He’s the one who gave you those pills! And he never told me what they would do to you. And I never asked.

[ Crying ] I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, sasha. I’m so, so sorry. I’m so…sorry. Then prove it. Confess. Go to the police station and tell them everything that you did… and testify against dr. Montague so he can never do to anyone else what he did to me.

On the next “General Hospital” —
