THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Lucy: I’m about to sign over 51% of my company to tracy quartermaine. Well, sign it. Otherwise, things are only going to get worse. I really don’t know how they could get worse.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Laura: Scott. Hey. Uh, I did not know you were back in town. Hi. Hi, lucy. Uh-huh. I need to talk to you now.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] So, laura, h-how was that trip with — what were you thinking? Y-yeah, I’m not following. What compelled you to help my brother get out of prison? I knew you’d come back here. I’ve done everything that you’ve asked me to do. You’re walking around a free man because of me. And still… you try and kill ava? Hey.

[ Door closes ] I thought you were working late. Is everything okay? Are you sure there is nothing else I can provide for you? Brook lynn: Thanks, yuri, but we just had lunch. You know what? I would love a plate of those little cookies and a pitcher of lemonade. Yes, ma’am. Soon coming. Mmm! He’s cute. Yes. I can’t believe monica lets him work here. Lets him work here? Mm-hmm. She’s the one who hired him. And what’s with the little cookies? You just said you were stuffed from lunch. Now you want little cookies? No, but maybe chase does.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, I know you’re super busy, but I wanted to show you something. What — I was just… look, look. No, no, no, no. Okay, I bought this frame, and I put in some pictures. It’s wiley

from the wedding for michael and willow… ah. …And then donna for carly. I think they’re gonna love it. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Carly, too. Martin: I called the sec at nina reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate drew cain and carly spencer for insider trading.

[ Recorder beeps ] Time to let my father know exactly what kind of woman he married. You know, I’d think twice before doing that if I were you. You know, laura, I-it’s not like I broke cyrus out of pentonville. Well, you may as well have, because he’s out walking the streets right now. Yeah, I know. I-I-I just saw him in there. You saw him in — in there? Yeah, and I-I made it clear to him that I’m not on retainer — it was a one-shot deal.

[ Sighs ] But, you know, he — he was just very pleased with my work.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, I bet he was. Believe me, I also got an earful from mac scorpio. Well, can you blame him? He is the police commissioner now. On top of everything else, he has to worry about cyrus renault being free. He is your brother. I know that, and I don’t need to be reminded.

[ Exhales sharply ] You know something? When cyrus was in the hospital, he told martin to give away all of his money, and martin did it. So tell me something, scott — how did you get paid? I’m very impressed, austin. I never would have thought that little boy I watched grow up had this in him. It’s no big deal, really. It’s not difficult to overpower a man who is — and now I’m quoting — “weak and incapable of hurting other people.” You’ve had your moment. And I’m going to forgive this clumsy transgression because it’s clear you have very strong feelings for ava jerome. First, you will take your hands off of me. And then you will find a way to get me into that room with your cousin mason.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Door opens ] Oh, what now?

[ Door closes ] Mr. Gatlin. I just wanted you to know that all your tests and blood work looks good after your surgery. Your vitals are stable. There’s no reason you shouldn’t make a full recovery. Whoopee. I’m glad that makes you happy. Well, I’m thrilled. I won’t be cuffed to this damn bed anymore. No, no, you’ll likely be behind bars. Ah, don’t count your chickens, doc. I’ve gotten out of worse spots… many times before.

[ Scoffs ] Everything’s fine.

[ Chuckles lightly ] I just took a late lunch, and I decided I would come home and spend it with my baby.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Wow, looks like you’re going over the books. Yeah, I was, but, um… you know, it was such a beautiful day outside, so I wanted to take advantage of it. So I spent some time looking at the trees and the leaves, and, you know… and then I took some time to look at the pictures that trina sent from new york. And I got to say, there’s a lot of pictures of her with spencer. Oh, awesome. Let me see. Are you sure? Of course I’m sure. Let me see the pictures. It’s okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Oh. Hm, they really got around, huh? You seem to be okay with that. You want to tell me what’s going on? Trina cares about spencer, and it seems that spencer genuinely cares about trina. She’s old enough to make her own decisions without her mom constantly butting in. This one is yours. I already wrapped one for michael and willow and one for carly. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] You’re welcome. No, it’s beautiful. I just wish that I had one of avery at the wedding. We’re — we’re going to make it up to avery big time. Yeah, I’m just glad that she and ava are okay. Yeah, and you know what? Uh, I’m going to make sure they stay that way. Good.

[ Chuckles ] You just can’t stop staring at wiley, you know? Oh. No, it’s just… I’m thinking. Thinking about the time you lost? Well —

[ Scoffs ] I plan on making that up, and… it’s nobody’s fault. Some of it was carly’S. Michael: You’ve already done your part, martin. Well, don’t go patting yourself on the back. If you think I’m surprised that you recorded me, you’re sorely mistaken. But even if that was admissible in a court of law, which it isn’t, this isn’t about court. It’s about you trying to destroy nina reeves. She’s done that herself. Yeah, well, you see it that way. Nina won’T. I don’t give a damn how she sees it. She destroyed my mom’s life, and she got drew sent to prison. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have work to do. You know, I always make it a point to do extensive research on the life of anybody who asks me to represent them. In my line of work,it’s kind of important. Somebody like nina — I mean, I know I don’t have to remind you of the kind of things ms. Reeves has done in the past. I’m not concerned about her past. I’m concerned about what she’s done lately and about the future. And that’s the rub, isn’t it? Because the future is exactly what you should be concerned about. And since you know what she’s capable of, kind of things she’s done, kind of things she will do… once you try to take away everything that matters to her. I told myself I was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid ar, he did mention something about some kind of a fund that helps prisoners reform, you know, he did mention something about some kind of a fund that helps prisoners reform, and, you know… that’s the fund that he donated his money to? Oh, my god.

[ Chuckling ] Oh! Leave it to cyrus to find a way to use that money to help himself. Well, he is pretty resourceful.

[ Sighs ] Oh, he is nothing if not resourceful. Tell me something — did you ever believe that — that my brother actually deserved to be released, or was this just a payday for you?

[ Sighs ] Laura, what kind of a lawyer do you think I am? Do you want me to answer that? Okay, all right, listen, I-I-I know that lee would probably be disappointed in me like you are, but, you know, it was a high-profile case, and I’m trying to keep my practice going. Do you want me to be chasing ambulances for the rest of my life?! Okay. I’ve heard enough. I’ve heard enough. I’m just asking you, okay? When you were at the hearing and you saw my brother there, did you believe that he deserved to be released?

[ Exhales deeply ] Well, he did seem like a different guy, you know? And — and the doctor spoke on his behalf, the warden, and eventually, the judge, you know, did sign off for his release. Now, when I saw him earlier in his suede jacket and everything, he did look pretty healthy. Yeah, that’s exactly what I said when I saw him in the prison. Hm.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I got to go.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Breathing heavily ] You didn’t sign!

[ Monitor beeping ] Hello, mason. I thought if we were going to come back here and go over your plans for blaze, that chase might want to join us. As it turns out, he has a couple of hours off, and he said he would love to spend time with us — I mean, with you, you know, because he’s been working such long hours. Oh, you’re not going to do this, ma. Do what? Arrange for my daughter to spend time with her gorgeous boyfriend? I know exactly how you think, all right? You think that you’re going to bring chase over here, that tracy’s offer is just going to happen to come up in conversation…

[ Scoffs ] …Then he’s going to help you convince me to change my mind. Brook lynn, how dare you accuse me of such a thing? And if tracy’s offer happened to come up in conversation, as you say, then maybe — I swear to you, ma, if tracy’s offer comes up, you will regret it. I will put you in the same box that I put her, and I will never talk to you again. Do you understand?

[ Door opens ] Mr. Chase to see you.

[ Exhales sharply ] Carly and I both made [Sighs] A lot of mistakes. I suppose, but she and drew are paying big time for the one they made. Is, um — is drew back in pentonville? Yeah, the doctor says he’s healthy enough to go back. I’m — you know, I’m doing everything I can to keep him protected in there, and carly is trying to get him out. I hope she does. You amaze me, you know that? Well, the feeling is mutual… husband. Ooh, I like that word — “husband.” I-I like “wifey,” too, ’cause you can’t get rid of me anymore.

[ Chuckles ] Mm. Okay, we both have… what? …A lot of work to do, okay? What do you mean? So I’m going to go. Okay. Love you. Love you, too. Hey, you know what? What? Thank you for that. You’re welcome. Come on, let’s be honest here, martin — you’re concerned about what nina will do to you because she’s not going to be happy when she finds out that you betrayed her confidence and told me that she’s the reason that drew’s in prison. Absolutely true. See how I’m scared to death of what nina reeves could do to me? And I’ m not the only personwith skin in this game, am I? I mean, we are talking about the woman who induced ava jerome’s labor just so she could kidnap your baby sister. Same woman let you all think that sonny was dead. Now she owns the metro court and a very powerful, influential magazine. You could be right. I mean, given the circumstances and feelings for your father, she might be a shrinking violet. She might just take her medicine, fade away.

[ Chuckling ] But… you let that genie out of the lamp, and she’s a wounded animal. She’s going to take that power and that influence, and she’s gonna make it her mission to make your life hell and the life of anybody you care about. That is something to think about before you pull the trigger. You just make sure you dig two graves, mr. Corinthos. When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd thingsokay. All right, well… that makes sense. Yeah, I might make a lot of money off of this. No, I’m not gett ing too excited,so just calm down. Listen, I’ll call you back when I get a chance. Goodbye. Took my pen! Chase, I’m so glad you could make it. Yeah, I’m kind of surprised you wanted to meet here. Oh, tracy’s spending the day in new york city. You know, speaking of tracy — ah! Ay-yi… oh, ma, I am so sorry. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! No, I know you are, but accidents — they happen. No, really, ma, do you understand just how sorry I am? I do, I do, and I know that it will never happen again. No, it won’T.

[ Clears throat ] Chase. Oh, well, brookie wanted to show me some of the music that she had picked out for blaze. Great. I’d love to see it. Yeah. Yeah, well, she told me that you and blaze used to work together and that you might know best what would fit her voice. Well, brook lynn’s really the expert in that area. I don’t know about that. Oh, no, brook lynn, she has musical genius running through her veins, thank you very much.

[ Chuckles ] But, you know, seeing a song on paper is totally different than hearing it out loud. So brook, honey, would you mind playing the song for us? -Here. -Sure, okay. Yay! And, chase, would you mind singing along with it? Come on. Oh, no. You don’t have to do that, chase. Oh, no, what? You want to, don’t you, chase? No, ma, he doesn’t sing anymore. He’s a detective.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, but I’ll always sing for you. Oh. So how’d you enjoy your lunch? Ah, it was delicious. It was just what I needed. The new co-chief of staff needs to keep her energy up.

[ Both chuckle ] Yes.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. So, um, I guess you got to get back. Yeah. Sorry. No problem. But I’m glad we had this time together. I will be late tonight. I understand.

[ Chuckles ] I love you. I love you, too. Portia. Thank you so much. No, thank you. I know that you’ve been really wanting to see curtis, and I just think that now would be a really good time. Okay. He’s right outside on the patio, okay?

[ Chuckles ] Uh, just in case you didn’t know already, my brother cyrus is out of prison. Yeah, I — I do know that. Okay. Um, could you do me a favor and not mention it to curtis just yet? He’s got a lot on his plate, so… yeah, of course. He’s going to be really happy to see you. Oh, oh, don’t try to move.

[ Grunts ] Those handcuffs will dig into your wrists. How are you feeling?

[ Monitor beeping ] Pain. A lot of pain. God, I can only imagine. Uh, you see your cousin austin is here with me? He arranged this…visit. That was really nice of him, wasn’t it? Yeah. You know, when I got here, he let it be known that he was extremely upset with me. Do you know why? Well, it — it’s kind of amusing, actually. He — he was under the impression that I gave you the order to kill ava jerome, a woman he cares very deeply about.

[ Sighs ] You see, mason, I made a deal with austin. I gave him my word, so to speak, that if he helped me get out of prison, I would see to it that ms. Jerome was brought home safely. Now, as you can see, I am out of prison. And have you ever known me to go back on my word? No. Exactly. And you have worked for me for a very long time, haven’t you? Yes. Now, I want you to tell your cousin precisely the last words I said to you that night you were with ava. “Take her home.” And you disobeyed me, didn’t you, mason? Sonny: Yeah, it’s got to be special… for the perfect woman.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. All right, listen — thank you and send best wishes to you and your family. Bye.

[ Exhales deeply ] Michael: Hey, dad. Hey. Haven’t seen you since the wedding. I just kind of lied to sal. Oh, you did? Well, it was kind of a white lie, ’cause the — the best time I’ve had, I think, is… getting married to nina, and you guys were all there to watch it. Yeah. Um, look, dad, there’s — there’s something I need to talk to you about.

[ Playing piano ]

I don’t know why my heart feels this way when I’m with you all is quiet, all is calm and I feel safe when I’m with you all my worries fade away won’t you stay stay with me? Won’t you stay stay with me? Oh, ’cause I’ve been waiting all for you I’ve been waiting all for you all for yoooou yoooou have I told you near enough you’re the one I was dreaming of all this time, all this time?

Hi, tj. What’s going on today? Dr. Ashford? Hey, um… portia, I’m — I’m sorry. What? Is everything okay with you? Everything’s fine with your surrogate, right? Yeah, everything’s good. Okay. Well, something else is going on, so… no, everything’s fine. Um… tj, come on. I know you. It’s okay. You can talk to me. There’s this patient. There’s just something about him. Okay. Which patient? His name’s mason gatlin. The one who tried to kill ava? I asked you a simple question, mason. I want an answer.

[ Monitor beeping ] I disobeyed you.

[ Laughing ] Oh, good. I am so glad we got that cleared up. Now, I am not happy at all that you disobeyed me, but ms. Jerome is safe at home, so you dodged a bullet there.

[ Chuckles ] At least you dodged the fatal one. And we’ve already established that you believe I am a man of my word, yeah? Yes. Okay, so… I give you my word now in front of almighty god and your cousin that the pain you felt when you were shot, any pain you have felt during your entire life will pale in comparison to the pain you will feel during your long, excruciating journey to death if you ever betray me again. Do you understand and believe that?

[ Mouths word ] Say it! I understand… and believe it. Yes. I think you do. Godspeed.

[ Grunts ] Do we understand each other now? We do. Good. Hello, curtis. Laura. I hope it’s all right that I came. I’m so glad you did. Scott… uh, I was supposed to meet lucy here today. You haven’t seen her by any chance, have you? Yeah, she was here, but she left like a thief in the night. Mnh. Now I’ve got other fish to fry. I’m sure. Oh, uh, if you do see her, tell her to give me back my pen! Sonny: Looks like something serious. It is. Is willow and the kids okay? Yeah, yeah. They’re — they’re fine. Carly? Yeah. Okay. Before we get into it, can I just show you one thing? Mm, dad, I — no, no, I think you’re going to like this a lot. Look at that. Take it. Uh, nina came by this morning, and, uh, I know I’m spoiling the surprise, but she’s going to give the one of wiley to you a-and willow. Isn’t that great? Yeah, it’s a great picture. You can’t have too many pictures of your son because, you know, I used to have the same thing with you and morgan, same at around that age. And she also has one of donna. She’s going to give it to carly. But you’re not going to say anything, right? No, I promise. So… I mean, it is very thoughtful, right? Yeah. I know you know what that means. What? You and willow have not been married that long, but you know what it’s like to love… …to love somebody so much that it — it hurts. Nina has changed my life. I just — I mean, no, no — nothing against your mother or anything because she’s happy in her own way now with drew, especially once he gets out of that hell hole. Yeah, uh, look, dad, that’s — that’S… kind of what I came to talk to you about. My mom’s alzheimer’s never changed how much we love her.Curtis… I’m really sorry that I was away for so long, but — no, no, no, no. I — I know you were looking for your son.

[ Exhales sharply ] Any luck?

[ Chuckles ] We just missed him. He doesn’t want to be found, but it really — it made me feel relieved to know that he’s okay. I’m sure.

[ Breathes deeply ] You know, it’s kind of ironic. We were just in greenland, dodging bullets… …only for me to come back to good old port charles and be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I want you to know that mac and dante are doing absolutely everything in their power to find the shooter, and I’m making sure that they have all the resources they need to do so. I also know that, uh… that’s little solace to you now. I’m just trying to focus on the future. Mm. It’s quite possible that I could be in this chair for the rest of my life. So if that’s the case, then, uh, I will damn well make the best of it.

[ Playing piano ]

Won’t you stay stay with me? That was absolutely perfect. I — i definitelydon’t know about that. For once, my ma’s dead right. Mm. It’s perfect. Blaze will sound great singing that song. I wish I could have heard the two of you sing together. I really like this song, too. Would you sing it as well, hm? Oh. Where is she?! Oh, you! Well, where is she? Where is the wicked witch of the west and the east and the north and the south?! I do hope you’ll be here soon, darlin’.

[ Stammering ] Listen, I don’t understand how this could have happened. If you would just let me expla–

[ Exhales sharply ] Trish told me you were here. Martin, what have you done? Any news on drew’s appeal? No, no, um…

[ Breathes deeply ] But you know how happy that drew and my mom were. Right. And when drew got sent to pentonville, it destroyed my mom, and she — she… she thought it was her fault. Carly always thinks it’s her fault. Drew doesn’t blame her, so he’s good for her. Yeah, he would be if he wasn’t in pentonville. Well, let’s get him out of pentonville. Yeah, that — we might not be able to make that happen, but I do know — okay, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Nina made it a pointwhen she was here to say that she was happy for carly and drew — she wanted them to be happy and that she wanted drew out of pentonville. Now, crimson — very important magazine. She owns it. She can use the magazine to help. Dad, I don’t think that that’s — no, I know you don’t understand, but she can be strong and she can put the heat on. I’m going to call her right now. No, dad, wait! Is there something that you sensed about this guy when you met him before? Nothing specific, but it did not seem like austin liked him coming around very much even then. I think the best thing that you can do is just — just steer clear of them altogether. Yeah. He probably just reminds me of…. some other creep.

[ Elevator bell dings ] I thought about calling you so many times. I know, I know. Portia told me you reached out to her to check on me. It’s just that I didn’t think I could… adequately express on a phone call how much you mean to me, curtis. Yeah, we’ve, uh — we’ve been through some tough times, huh? You’re a hero. No. Just accept it. And you know, it’s not just because you saved so many lives, two of them being my grandsons. But I had a special place in my heart for you a long time ago. Yeah, it’s funny how that works. Sometimes you just make A…connection with someone. It’s unexplainable. And it’s unbreakable.

[ Exhales deeply ] Okay? Nothing will ever change that. Hiya, lucy. Hi — hiya, lois. [ Chuckles ] Don’t change the subject. Where is she? Where’s tracy? She went to new york city for the day. Of course she did! She went out of town ’cause she didn’t want to be here for the dirty deed to get done! But you’re here, aren’t you, brook lynn? And you are just as responsible for all of this as tracy is! Now, wait a minute… why didn’t you stop her? Uh. I no touch woman. I mean, like that way — please, everyone just let lucy talk. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, ’cause I have plenty to talk about your girlfriend and your daughter. How about your insincere camaraderie? How about your unending lying and the fact that you actually outright stole from us?! No, no, no. She has every right to be furious with me. I have every ri– I am furious! I am so furious, but you know what? I really wanted your evil grandmother to be here to witness the spoils of her vicious attack.

[ Exhales sharply ] Come here, big man.

[ Breathing heavily ] There! There! Are you happy? I hope you are so satisfied. And please, please tell your grandmother she can kiss — nope. I’m too much of a lady.

[ Exhales deeply ] Excuse me.

[ Clears throat ] Should I, uh, lock door? It’s a little late for that. Nina, I am so… desperately sorry. You’ve got to believe me. Nothing like this ever happened before. My clients are my first priority. That is why I’m so ashamed of… letting you down like I — like I have. I-I just hope you can find it in your heart to — look, you don’t — it’s — it’s not the end of the world. It’s just I wanted those contracts with estron to be filed before they could change their mind and pull their ads. Estron… yeah, you were supposed to file them by end of business yesterday. Yeah. Uh, well, I know, I know, which is why I’m so utterly ashamed to have let you down like I have. Listen, I, um… I — I know I can make it right. I mean, I have a great relationship with the ceo, so I promise you no damage will — will come to crimson. All right. See that there isn’T. I really do believe that nina can help, michael. Just — just, uh… it’s — it’s not a good idea. Why? What do you mean?

[ Stammers ] You just got married. You should be celebrating. Don’t put this on her plate right now. Okay, you’re right. Yeah. I mean, we did just get married. I don’t want to spring this on her, even though I know she’d probably be fine with it because that’s who she is. I’m so happy that… …you got to be at the wedding. Mm. I love her, you know? I want this to last forever, like you and willow.

[ Exhales deeply ] Yeah. I’ll let you get back to work. Yeah, hey — didn’t you — we have the time. Sorry, but you had to tell me something? No, it’s fine. You know, it’s just something I realized that I can — um, I can handle on my own, but, uh, I appreciate that. Thank you. All right. You know you can come to me for anything, right? I love you, my son. Love you, too, dad. All right.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Exhales deeply ] Is nina reeves in? No, no, no. No message. Um, are you expecting her back soon? Good. I’ll speak to her when I see her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Lois: Oh. Brookie? Hello?

Brook Lynn: Hey, Ma, sorry. I’m just sending this one… last… text. There. Okay.

Lois: What was that about?

Brook Lynn: I am about to sign a very important client.

Lois: [ Gasps ] Congratulations!

Brook Lynn: Okay, let me reiterate, Ma — I’m about to. It hasn’t happened yet.

Lois: Yeah, but you will.

Brook Lynn: Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be able to breathe easy until I sign these contracts.

Lois: Oh, oh, Brookie. I’m so proud of you.

Brook Lynn: Thanks, Ma.

Lois: Can I ask you a question?

Brook Lynn: Sure. And you can ask me another one.

Lois: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, okay. Um… are you happy being back in the music business?

Brook Lynn: Yes, of course. I should have never left.

Lois: Mm. Well… not everybody agrees.

[ Scoffs ]

Mac: Kevin!

Kevin: Mac.

[ Both grunt ]

Mac: How have you been?

Kevin: Good, good.

Mac: Glad to have you back in Port Charles.

Kevin: It’s good to be back. I understand you had your hands full as acting police commissioner.

Mac: Yeah. It’s, uh — [ Chuckles ] It’s been a lot. There was one case — or should I say one perp in particular — that, um, really got to me.

Sam: Hi, Cody.

Cody: Hey.

Sam: Dante isn’t here right now.

Cody: No, I’m — I’m actually here to see you.

Sam: Oh, well, in that case, come on in.

Cody: All right.

Sam: What a nice surprise.

Cody: Well, get ready to be even more surprised.

Sam: Oh, no. Why? What’s going on?

Cody: No. Well, look, for the first time, I’m actually not here to ask you for a favor. I’m just here to say thank you.

And again and again… and again.

What are you doing here? I thought all hard-working, high-level executives took lunch at their desks.

Well, actually, it was a working lunch. We were discussing what a pain in the rear new shareholder we have.

You mean your boss?

[ Chuckles ] Yes. Obtained only through blackmail and a hostile takeover. So, what is it you want?

Maxie: What Lucy is trying to say is, what can we do for you?

Lucy: I don’t have to remind you that I own 51% of this company, and as such, I expect to be informed of all major decisions before they happen.

Such as?

Changing the Face of Deception.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Sasha: Dante.

Dante: Hey, Sasha.

Sasha: Are you here on official business?

Dante: Uh, yes and no.

Sasha: Okay, um… do you want to come in?

Dante: Sure. Thanks.

Sasha: Am I in trouble?

Dex: With Spinelli’s help, I was able to track Mason’s car to the side of a cliff where he was getting ready to throw Ava over the edge.

Sonny: Son of a bitch.

Dex: Then we exchanged gunfire. He was blinded by my headlights, so I was able to get the jump on him. Ava managed to escape during the fighting, but he got the advantage and was about to push me over the edge when Dante showed up and put two bullets in his back.

Sonny: And now Dante is on forced administrative leave for saving your life. You did good.

Dex: Thanks, boss. But stopping Mason doesn’t solve the problem. What’s the next step?

Sonny: Well, I didn’t cut my honeymoon short for nothing. We need to stop the man that Mason works for.

Cyrus: Dr. Robinson. It’s good to see you.

Sonny: And it was Austin who brought the fabricated Pikeman information that we, you know, planted with Betty to someone at Pentonville.

Dex: Right, where Cyrus was an inmate at the time. So that’s who you think Austin and Mason have been working for?

Sonny: I have no doubt.

Dex: Then Cyrus is the one who leaked to the feds about your deal with Pikeman.

Sonny: You know what? He’s been trying to remove me before he was released. He’s hated me always. But I tell you what — he made a big mistake by abducting Ava.

Dex: You want me to go pay Austin a visit?

Sonny: Not yet, ’cause I want to make sure that all my allies stay loyal.

[ Knock on door ]

Dex: I got it.

Sonny: [ Grunts ] Speak of the devil.

Portia: What are you doing here?

Cyrus: I’m here to see you, Dr. Robinson.

Portia: I heard about your early release. An abomination of justice, if you ask me… after everything that you’ve done.

Cyrus: I’m sorry you feel that way.

Portia: Let me just make one thing clear to you. I can’t stop you from entering the hospital, but one thing’s for damn sure is I can stop you from approaching me or anyone in my family.

Cyrus: You have nothing to fear from me.

Portia: I’m going to get a restraining order. I’m going to get a restraining order to keep you away from me and my daughter. What, you think that I’m just going to forget? I’m going to forget that you held us hostage, that you pointed a gun to my daughter. I think a judge will agree with me. That’s a pretty damn good case for me to get a restraining order against you.

Cyrus: Dr. Robinson, that is all in my past. God has cleansed me of those sins, and the justice system has agreed and forgiven me, and I’m here now just to ask forgiveness of you.

Portia: This is redemption? Is — is that what this is? Because the fact that you’re approaching me at my place of work is proof that I need a restraining order.

Cyrus: You have my deepest regrets for my past actions. I seek you out now only to apologize.

Brook Lynn: The only person I know who doesn’t think I should be in the music business is Granny. That’s not exactly news. She has mentioned on multiple occasions how she thinks I should be in a more prestigious business because after all, according to her, I am a Quartermaine.

Lois: You’re also a Cerullo. Don’t you forget that.

Brook Lynn: Since when does Granny’s opinion hold any weight with you?

Lois: It doesn’t.

Brook Lynn: So then what’s your point?

Lois: Okay, my point is… [ Exhales sharply ] …You might want to care a little more about what your Granny thinks… …’cause she’s about to give you Deception.

Brook Lynn: [ Coughs ]

Kevin: So who’s this perp you’re telling me about?

Mac: Wait a minute. You haven’t told me about your adventure with Laura in Europe.

Kevin: Ahh, evading my question.

Mac: You just got back. I want to know all about it.

Kevin: You know, when someone evades the question, it usually means it’s important to them.

Mac: [ Chuckles ] Have I ever told you how I hate it when you try to shrink me?

Kevin: Oh, yeah. But I also know you very well. And if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I’m just saying, if you do, I’ll listen.

Mac: How much have I told you about Cody Bell?

Cody: This is for you.

Sam: Um, wait, my birthday isn’t until May.

Cody: No, I know, it’s just, uh — it’s just something to show how grateful I am for you helping Sasha and me.

Sam: Oh, thank you, Cody. You didn’t have to do this.

Cody: Well, I know, but I couldn’t have gotten Sasha out of Ferncliff without your help. I mean, you had me committed, you had a getaway car waiting for us, you arranged for the cabin for us to stay in. Yeah, it’s just a — it’s just a little present to say thank you.

Sam: Well, I was happy to help. I just wish I would have listened to you earlier so then we could have helped her sooner, and for that, I — I am very sorry.

Cody: No, Sam, you have nothing to be sorry about. You took a leap of faith when you had plenty of reasons not to. And, I mean, you believed in me, and once you did, you went above and beyond to help Sasha.

Sam: You have been a really good friend to her, Cody. Your concern for her was sincere. And your determination to help her was admirable.

Cody: Yeah. I guess Sasha doesn’t need my help anymore.

Sasha: I don’t know what I could be in trouble over. I was cleared of all the charges involving my breakout of Ferncliff, and my lawyers told me that Cody wasn’t going to press any charges against me for stabbing him.

Dante: Yeah, no, no. I’m sorry, Sasha. You’re not facing any charges. I’m not here — I’m not here on official police business.

Sasha: Okay. Was there something else I did wrong, then?

Dante: No, no, no, no. It’s — it’s nothing you did. It’s, uh… it’s what you’re about to do.

Lucy: You made it very clear — you are part owner. But you know what isn’t clear is one — why would you care if Blaze is the new Face of Deception? Two — what you got against poor Blaze? And three — hmm, I can’t think of a three. Oh, I know. Why is it any of your business? It’s not, nada, none, zilch.

Maxie: Okay, I think what Lucy is wanting to say is Blaze is a perfect fit for us. She’s already a major recording artist. She’s clearly on the brink of super-stardom. She’s got millions of followers on social media, and…

Lucy: Thank you. That’s exactly what I would be saying. Go ahead.

Maxie: Younger women idolize her. Older women respect her. She’s the perfect person to uplift Deception and market us through major demographics.

Tracy: Bravo. You should be in sales. I might even have bought it if I cared. I don’t care. What I care about is that my 51% says Sasha Gilmore remains the Face of Deception.

Dante: From your police reports and your medical records the hell you went through at Ferncliff with that Dr. Montague. I am so sorry you went through all that.

Sasha: Thank you, Dante.

Dante: I know — I know it’s not the same, but — but I — I — I went through something about three years ago, and when my hell ended, I wanted to run away from everyone and everything I ever knew. I didn’t want to be associated with my former life, I think because I felt like I had been… irreparably changed, you know? And I love my life, my friends and my family, but at that point of time, I wanted nothing to do with any of them. I wanted to run as far as I could and never come back. I think trauma does that to us. I know it did it to me. I think it’s doing it to you. And I think running just makes things worse.

Sam: Oh, wow. Cody, what is this?

Cody: It’s a softball, Sam.

Sam: No, it’s a — it’s signed uh, by, actually — the US women’s softball team. That is so sweet. Thank you so much. You didn’t have to do this.

Cody: Yeah, well, you didn’t have to help me and Sasha, but you did.

Sam: Thank you.

Cody: Yeah, uh, Dante’s always talking about what a clutch softball player you are, so I thought, I don’t know, you might appreciate it.

Sam: I do, I do. I think this is awesome. I think I’m going to put it in the family room so we can all share it.

Cody: I love how you guys say that — the family room. I bet you and Dante and the kids all get together on the weekend and watch movies in there.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] You’re right, we do. On Sundays, it’s either a movie or sports or a board game. We make it a point to spend time together, and then we talk about our week or, I don’t know, we just hang out.

Cody: I used to wonder what that would be like. You know, be a part of a family.

Sam: What do you mean — you don’t wonder anymore?

Cody: No, I had my chance. I…threw it away.

Portia: I don’t want your apology. It is so meaningless. Your remorse, sir, is a sham. You should be in prison for the rest of your life. [ Stammers ] And the fact that you are free standing in front of me right now is — it’s a travesty. It’s insane.

Cyrus: You have every right to your anger, Doctor.

Portia: Don’t patronize me.

Cyrus: It breaks my heart that you are burdened with this resentment. If I could, I would — I would take it from you.

Portia: Now you’re playing games with me. There’s no point in trying to convince me. I know you’re not a changed man. The people that released you back into society, yes, they may have believed the reformed act, but me? I don’t buy it. And I never will.

Cyrus: I understand, but if you believe nothing else about me, believe this — I am extremely grateful to those who stopped me that night. My sister, Laura, and the very resourceful Jordan Ashford, and my gratitude also extends to your husband, Curtis.

Sonny: Thanks for coming to see me.

Selina: I’m always pleased to receive an invitation to meet with you, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: You know Dex Heller, right?

Selina: I do. Hello.

Dex: Ms. Wu.

Selina: Congratulations to you and Nina. I heard you got married on your island. How was it?

Sonny: It was great. It was fantastic. You know, can I clear something up with you? How did you allow my cousin Gladys to run up such a massive gambling debt? And you didn’t even have the courtesy to inform me.

Brook Lynn: Did I hear you correctly? Tracy’s giving me Deception?

Lois: Was I mumbling?

Brook Lynn: What would give you that idea?

Lois: Tracy herself gave me that idea. She says she wants you to be able to provide for yourself if the music business doesn’t work out. She also told me that Lucy and Maxie weren’t using you to your fullest potential. Okay, that I’m going to agree with her on because, Brook Lynn, you have amazing potential, and if they were taking advantage of you, that’s not okay.

Brook Lynn: Ma, stop, okay? Tracy blackmailed me and — and took the company from them. You’re saying she did that for me?

Lois: According to Tracy, that’s the truth. She intends to hand over her controlling interest in Deception to you.

Brook Lynn: Come on, Ma, you believe her?

[ Exhales deeply ]

Mac: Cody got himself into trouble saving Sasha Gilmore. He put his neck on the line to save her. And what he did not only impressed me, but brought back memories of how I went to similar lengths trying to save Cody’s mother, Dominique.

Kevin: Weren’t you involved with Dominique before she was involved with Scott Baldwin?

Scott: Did I just hear my name mentioned?

Lucy: Sasha has been through too much. She has been through the most horrible, ugly ordeal because of that disgusting Gladys. So the worst thing to do for Sasha is throw her back into the spotlight where she was publicly skewered.

Tracy: I’m fully aware of what Sasha has been through.

Lucy: Okay, then you’re aware she stabbed Cody Bell at the Metro Court pool. She stabbed someone in public. I cannot have someone that freaks out and actually tries to kill somebody. Deception needs a spokesperson that has nothing to do with anything like that.

Tracy: And what about what Sasha needs? She was the face that relaunched this company. Your beloved Deception was shut down for over a decade.

Maxie: Can I say something?

[ Both Tracy and Lucy ] No!

Lucy: Look, I am just trying to think of Sasha.

Tracy: No, you’re not. If you were thinking of Sasha, you would reinstate her contract. Look, I need you to look at the big picture. Look at corporate culture. What kind of message would you be sending if you shut out somebody who’s struggling with addiction? What if this job is the very thing that gets Sasha back on her feet? Would you deny her that?

Lucy: Wow. I don’t know what’s happening here.

Tracy: Well, that’s not surprising.

Maxie: Okay, I’m going to say something whether you two like it or not. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but, uh, what Tracy is trying to tell us is to have a heart and give Sasha another chance.

Tracy: Exactly, Maxie.

Lucy: This is classic Tracy — do something rotten and horrible, and then when it’s done, claim you did it for altruistic reasons.

Brook Lynn: Okay, she didn’t fall far from the Edward Quartermaine tree, that is for sure. As soon as Tracy got back to Port Charles, she — she zeroed in on Deception like a heat-seeking missile. I mean, she blackmailed me into spying for her, which I agreed to, to my everlasting regret. And then once Tracy had the upper hand, she filed a lawsuit and basically bullied Lucy and poor Maxie into settling.

Lois: She’s a real piece of work, I give you that. But I’m not so sure that this time she’s being 100% selfish.

Brook Lynn: Tracy did all this for Tracy, Ma. Don’t be fooled, okay? Any excuse that she did this for me is a blatant lie.

Lois: I’m not so sure, Brook Lynn.

Scott: Mind if I join you?

Scott, we were actually —

You know, actually, it– it’s been a while since the three of us has done any catching up.

As he was saying, we were right in the middle of catching up, Scott.

Scott: Yeah, but Kevin, you were talking about me.

Scott, we were actually talking about your client, Cody Bell.

Cody: What I did was I found my biological father, and I lied to him about being his son.

Sam: Are we talking about Mac?

Cody: Yes, good guess.

Sam: Gut instinct.

Cody: I guess that’s why you’re a great PI.

Sam: Why did you lie to Mac?

Sasha: You’re right, Dante. Um, we reacted similarly to the things that happened to us, but like you said, the circumstances were not the same. You had a family to come back to. I don’t. Brando is gone… and he’s not coming back, and neither is my baby boy. My family was taken from me, and every bit of me aches for them.

Dante: I — I can’t even imagine, Sasha. I’m — I’m so sorry.

Sasha: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, I — [ Scoffs ] I really tried like hell to carry on. I went on with my day-to-day activities, even though I was still grieving and still in pain. And honestly, I thought I was doing okay.

Dante: Well, for what it’s worth, Cody said you were doing pretty good before Montague started giving you those drugs.

Sasha: Yeah. I thought I was doing all right. But now, I’m not so sure.

Cyrus: Curtis was a hero that night, and I was deeply sorrowed to hear that he’d been injured. And it must be frightening to know that he is no longer capable of protecting you the way he once could.

Portia: I’m going to need you to get the hell away from me. And I swear, if you approach me or anyone, I swear, anyone that I love, I’m calling the cops. I don’t care, I’m going to have you thrown back in prison where you belong.

[ Door slams ]

Cyrus: Welcome home, Dr. Robinson.

Get away from the door. Go!

Selina: Gladys was, shall we say, an enthusiastic player, one who never turned away, even from the best players. But sadly, she lost more often than she won. But she assured me that she could do good on her debts, and although she was slow with payment, the money always arrived. So I saw no reason to doubt her or to bother you with it.

Sonny: Okay, I’m going to stop you right there because the next thing you say may have long-lasting repercussions. In our business, do you know how to distinguish between allies and enemies?

Selina: Of course I do.

Sonny: Okay — enemies lie to each other. Allies deal in honesty. So before you open your mouth, you need to decide… …which one you want to be.

Scott: You know, you’re lucky that Cody is such a forgiving soul. If it was up to me, I would slap this city with a huge civil lawsuit. Litany of charges. Cody would be singing his way to the bank.

You’d be singing your way to the bank all the way, too, Scott.

Scott: Yes, yes, yes, I would.

Assuming you’d win, how much of those damages would you collect?

Scott: Well, 20%, 30%, but my wallet is already fat enough. However, he has no interest, which seems a little weird.

Why? You said yourself Cody is a forgiving soul.

Scott: Yeah, but a few months ago, he was willing to sue the WSB for all that stuff that went on in Greenland. I just wonder what happened.

Lois: In Tracy’s own twisted way, I think she wants to do this for you. She’s afraid you’re not going to be able to make a living as a music manager, and she wants to make sure that you could support yourself in a way that she deems acceptable.

Brook Lynn: Right. Tracy won’t be happy regardless of what I do.

Lois: I don’t know, Brook Lynn, honestly. I mean, she seems to be really happy for you and Chase. She even brags about being the one that brought the two of you back together in the first place. And, you know, in true Q fashion, she doesn’t want you living on a cop’s salary.

Brook Lynn: Oh, right. So Tracy’s solution for my financial problems is to blackmail her own granddaughter and rob Lucy and Maxie of their dream.

Lucy: Let me try and get this straight. You, Tracy Angelica Quartermaine, you, after deviously stealing our 51% of the company and taking my precious 1% of ELQ, you expect us to believe that you have compassion for Sasha? You want to give her another chance? [ Chuckles ] Wait. What’s in it for you?

Tracy: Nothing.

Lucy: Mm. Oh, pooh. I’m not buying it.

Tracy: It’s the right thing to do.

Lucy: Okay, it’s — it’s freaky Friday, isn’t it? It’s freaky Friday.

Okay, okay, Lucy.

Lucy: Tracy, if there’s nothing in it for you, why is it so important that Sasha gets her job back?

Tracy: Because we’re all business women here, and we should be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.

Lucy: What?! You tore us completely down!

Tracy: Apples and oranges.

Selina: My alliance with you, Sonny, is vital to my interests.

Sonny: Then explain to me what happened with my cousin Gladys.

Selina: When Gladys lost, I extended her a line of credit. When the time came to pay, Gladys had lost more and she didn’t have the money to pay. She told me she had access to Sasha Gilmore’s money through a guardianship, but she couldn’t withdraw too much at once. That’s when she sold me her son Brando’s garage at below-market value.

Sonny: I’m surprised. Didn’t it ever occur to you to inform me, your ally, in this situation? If I was the suspicious type… …I would think that maybe you were trying to get information or leverage on me. And if that were the case, you and I would have a big problem.

[Deep exhale]

Cody: I had the DNA test in my hand at G.H., Sam. But instead of telling Mac the truth, I — I lied to him. I mean, hell, he found the test on the floor at the Q stables. I got it out of his hands before he knew what it was, but… that was my second chance to come clean, but instead, I lied again, right to his face.

Sam: But why, Cody?

Cody: I — I don’t know. I — I told myself it was because I was going for the money, but — but really, Sam, I just think — I think Mac’s too good of a guy to be saddled with a son like me.

Sam: No, it’s not too late to tell Mac that you’re his son.

Cody: I have lied repeatedly to his face. Any chance or hope of me earning his trust is gone. Look, Mac’s — Mac’s — Mac’s got a great wife and a happy life. He doesn’t need me as a son.

Sam: I’m assuming Dante knows all this.

Cody: Yeah, he’s — he’s known for a while, and I’m sorry, Sam I should have never asked him to keep a secret like that from you, which is why I’m telling you now. After all that you’ve done for me and Sasha, you deserve to know the truth.

Sam: Does anyone else know that you’re Mac’s son?

Cody: One other person. Sasha knows.

Sasha: Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m running away. But honestly, can you really blame me for not wanting to live in a place where everywhere I turn is a constant reminder of what I’ve lost or a mistake that I’ve made? Sometimes the pain is just too much.

Dante: To be clear, I don’t blame you for anything, Sasha. You do what’s best for you. I just want you to know that there are people here who love you and can help you heal from the trauma you’ve suffered. Hey, Michael, Willow, Chase, Maxie, Nina. Plus, you got some — some new friends in me and Sam and Cody. We’d all really miss you.

Tracy: From everything that Michael and Brook Lynn have told me, Sasha’s been through hell.

Lucy: Maxie and I are well aware of everything that Sasha has been through. You do not have to remind us.

Tracy: Well, apparently I do. Look at what’s been done to her. She deserves a break. Where is your empathy?

Lucy: Empathy?! Do you even know what that word means?

Tracy: I do. And I demand we give her a break.

Lucy: “Demand.” Demand.

Okay, Tracy, you are right. A lot of terrible things have happened to Sasha because she trusted the wrong people. We know a little something about that, don’t we, Lucy? I love Sasha, and I would hate it if I wasn’t there for her when she needed me.

Tracy: We all agreed.

Lucy: We have not all agreed.

Tracy: Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Well, you know, Sasha’s out of town, gone, so case closed.

Tracy: That’s what phones are for. Pick it up. Call her. Tell her that Deception has decided to reinstate her contract. And do it today.

Lucy: Ohhh…

Selina: I don’t seek leverage over you, Sonny. In retrospect, my actions were ill-advised. And I regret that. I also regret letting Gladys join my poker game. But having done so… I agree with you. I owed it to you, my ally, to apprise you of the situation as it unfolded.

Sonny: I’m glad we’re on the same page.

Selina: You’ve been a good business partner, Sonny, and I want to continue that relationship in the future. How can I make amends?

Sonny: I’m sure you’ve heard Cyrus is once again free.

Selina: I’m aware.

Mac: Cody was arrested after he broke out of Ferncliff and allegedly kidnapped Sasha Gilmore. Now, the charges were dropped, the paperwork filed away. I’m guessing Cody doesn’t want to bring it back out into the light of day, lest Sasha get involved. He’s very protective of her. Or Cody simply developed a conscience. Sorry, Scott. I know that’s not a word you’re familiar with — I got a conscience.

Cyrus: Excuse me, uh, for interrupting, gentlemen, but I’d like to have a word with my attorney, Mr. Baldwin.

Lois: Don’t you for one single minute think I’m sitting here defending Tracy because I don’t agree with anything she’s done on any level.

Brook Lynn: Good. For a second there, I thought hell was freezing over.

Lois: Well, hold on a second, ’cause hell might get a little chilly, because I do believe that Tracy is being sincere when she says she’s going to hand over her controlling interest in Deception to you.

Brook Lynn: Tracy can be as sincere as she wants… because there is no way in hell I will ever accept that company.

Dante: You know, Sasha, whatever decision you make, I wish you nothing but the best. I just didn’t want you leaving town without you knowing how much you’re loved and how much you’ll be missed.

Sasha: Thank you, Dante. Means a lot.

Dante: Hey, um… Brando was family, which makes us family. And if there’s one thing I learned from my mother and my father, it’s that family is everything. Take care. And if you need anything… you let me know.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

Sam: It doesn’t surprise me at all that you would trust Sasha with the secret that you are Mac’s son. I mean, you did form a close bond when you broke her out of Ferncliff.

Cody: Yeah, yeah. Not that any of that matters anymore.

Sam: Why doesn’t it matter?

Cody: Uh, Sasha’s leaving Port Charles.

Sam: Since when?

Cody: I stopped by her place yesterday. I found her packing.

Sam: Did you try and talk her out of it?

Cody: Yeah, I tried. I failed. Sasha said that the movers are coming this morning, so… she’s, uh, probably gone already.

Lucy: Okay, what do you think that was all about?

Maxie: I have no clue.

Lucy: All right, but that woman is up to something. Mark my words. She is always up to something, and the only thing she does anything for is to benefit her shady bank account.

What could it be?

Maxie: Look, Lucy, I really have no idea, okay? But I’ve got to be honest — I kind of like what Tracy was saying. It would be nice to work with Sasha again.

Lucy: Yeah, maybe you’re right. You know, she could change her mind and not stay in Austin. After all, you know those fabulous winter coats she has that we love? She can’t wear those in Texas.

Maxie: We’re getting a little ahead of ourselves. What if she doesn’t accept the offer?

Lucy: [ Gasps ] What if she does? What are we going to tell Blaze?

Brook Lynn: I’m committed to my music career. And honestly, I don’t care if Tracy doesn’t have faith that I can succeed because I have faith in myself, and you were always the one who told me that’s all I need.

Lois: That. That is the Cerullo fire.

Brook Lynn: And you know what?

Lois: Hmm?

Brook Lynn: Even if I fail, I would rather get a job waiting tables at Kelly’s than let Granny gift me a stolen company. I’m going to go tell Tracy that right now.

Lois: Okay, hold your roll for just a second because as much satisfaction as it would give you to throw that gift right back in her face, I think I have a better way to handle this.

Scott: Oh, hey, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Why don’t we talk over here in private?

Scott: I think you might be a little confused. I’m not on retainer. You paid me a chunk of money to take care of you at the hearing, but that’s it. That’s the end of the story. Case closed.

Cyrus: Oh, no, no, our story isn’t finished yet. You were remarkable at the hearing, and I might have use of your brilliant legal mind again.

So much for Scott’s conscience.

I wish Scott stuck to chasing ambulances and defending Cody. Helping Cyrus Renault get released from Pentonville won’t end well, I’m sure of it.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Sonny: Any updates on our people watching Cyrus?

Dex: He paid a visit to G.H. today. He was spotted talking to Dr. Robinson.

Sonny: Trina’s mother?

Dex: Then he left G.H., went straight to the Metro Court restaurant. I told our people not to take their eyes off of him. They’ll report back with any updates.

Sonny: You know what? Ms. Wu has agreed to, you know, put eyes on Cyrus as well. So I tell you what — with her network and mine, he’s not going to make a move without me knowing. So we’ll have him under 24-hour surveillance. She’s going to notify me as far as who he’s interacting with, his associates, whatever, and if he tries any kind of overture to Selina, she’ll notify me immediately.

Dex: Can we trust her?

Sonny: The only thing I trust is that Selina will serve her own business interests. That’s why I have to keep her close.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hi. Not used to having a bodyguard. I really appreciate everything you’re doing. Not a problem, ms. Devane. Oh, call me anna. Yes, ma’am — anna. Did you seeanything suspicious, you know, when I was with my friends? No. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Right, not — nobody, you know, paying special attention to me or… negative. I watched the surrounding area the whole time. I saw no indication of a threat to you. Papa, why did you insist on picking me up early from school today? Because I have a surprise for you. Hi, sweetheart. Grandma, you’re home! I’ve missed you so much. Oh. Hey, how you doing, handsome? You look so nice! I heard that you have a doctor’s checkup today. That is so cool, huh? So, why didn’t you tell me that he had a doctor’s appointment today? Aha! ‘Tis killer miller. What are you doing here at this time of day? I mean — oh, hold on. Does your infamous client, the mr. Corinthos, know that you’re here doing yoga and not sitting around clutching a cellphone, waiting on his beck and call?

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey, you’re not my regular nurse. Well, you’re not my regular patient.

[ Chuckles ] How you feeling? I’m good. [ Sighs ] Maybe a little too good. I’ve read your opinions, and you consider yourself an originalist, correct? Yes, I believe the meaning of our constitution doesn’t change over time. I was just reading an article about asher alexander, and he shares that view. Uh, isn’t that the billionaire investment banker? Mm. Yes, I’ve certainly heard of him. But I wouldn’t know if he would agree with any of my judicial opinions. I’ve never met the man. Really? Interesting. So, you flew to st. Thomas on this man’s private jet to go deep sea fishing, and yet you’ve never met him?

[ Clears throat ] With all due respect to your sources, ms. Davis, I believe you’ve been misinformed. On the contrary, I can provide dates, records, flight manifests, or anything else I need to prove that you did fly to the caribbean with asher alexander. This s eems to bea major conflict of interest. Would you care to comment? What you got there? Oh, it’s just this paperwork I’ve got to file for my, uh, administrative leave. Yeah, yeah, sam told me about that. So, does this — this mean you just get around — hang around the house in your pjs and still get paid?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. No, not quite. The pcpd is going to do an investigation and see if my reasons for shooting the perp were justified. Come on, man. You’re a great cop. Just doing your job, right? Yeah, if only it were that simple. Yeah. Yeah, nothing’s simple. Everything’s so damn complicated. It’s pretty frustrating. What are you talking about? It’s just like, you know, it seems like you do the right thing, get the wrong outcome. Elizabeth: I get it. After you’ve made a full recovery here and the doctors clear you, you’ll be sent back to pentonville. That’s got to be tough.

[ Monitor beeping ] In the meantime, I get the pleasure of your company. Nice deflection.

[ Both chuckle ] You got to fill me in on the boys. How’s cameron doing in school? Oh, the boys are doing really well. Cameron is loving being at stanford. Academically, he’s doing well. And as for soccer, he’s not a starter yet, but he has played enough games, and he has proven himself to be a very valuable player. That’s fantastic. Yeah. [ Chuckles ] He’s got to be loving it. Yeah. Oh! And what about aiden? He’s still baking. He made a pie the other day. It was so delicious. Every time you talk to me about his baking, my mouth, like, starts watering…

[ Laughs ] …Just hearing about it, you know? He is very talented and determined. He plans on going to the most prestigious pastry academy in paris, and he wants to pay for it himself. Wow. Yeah. Look at that determination. How’s he going to manage that? Oh, well, he’s started his own little business. He has a website and everything. He’s selling fancy cupcakes. He either ships them out, or he delivers them if they’re local. I keep telling him to talk to carly and see if he can sell them at kelly’S. That’s such a great idea. Yeah. I’ll put in a good word for him with carly. He would love that. How’s jake? Jake. Jake has a girlfriend. Since you’re claiming to not know asher alexander, I’m assuming that you neglected to report this deep sea fishing trip on your tax filings. Or any other gifts or accommodations that you received from this very influential friend. Am I right in that assumption? Ms. Davis, I agreed to be interviewed on my judicial philosophies, not to answer questions about where or with whom I choose to vacation, though I shouldn’t be surprised by this blatant ambush. I remember your reputation as an attorney — that is, when you could still practice law. Cheap tricks and procedural violations. It’s no wonder you were disbarred. So far, judge kim, we haven’t heard a denial. For your information, mr. District attorney, I am often here at this time of day. This is the only time this studio offers this particular yoga class. And might I remind you that I work for myself, unlike you. So, no matter how demanding my clients are, my life is my own to schedule. But you — my goodness. A public servant taking a three-hour lunch break to go pump some iron? I wonder what the invader would have to say about that. It’s j ust that the first thatI’d heard of ace’s appointment with his pediatrician was this morning, when I got the confirmation text from the doctor’s office. So, you know, a heads-up would have been nice. It’s really not that big of a deal, spencer. The pediatrician had a cancellation this morning and offered the slot to ace, so I took it. Kevin was nice enough and offered us a ride to the hospital — oh, great. Thank you. So, I didn’t wantto bother you. Well, I appreciate you doing that. I’m sorry that you had to. It’s no trouble. I work here. I would have taken him myself, had I known. Look, I just assumed you’d be with trina again, and who am i to interrupt that? Okay, except, listen, because we’ve talked about this multiple times, esme, including at that parenting class that you suggested that we take with one another. I want to be at all of ace’s medical appointments, okay? Even the small ones. And what for? Because I’m his older brother. Yeah, and I am his mother, and I am perfectly capable of looking after my own son. I missed you so much. I missed you, too, sweetheart. And I’m sorry I was away so long. Did you find uncle nikolas? Um, I didn’t actually see uncle nikolas. That’s too bad. No, it’s okay.

[ Stammers ] I do know that he is alright. I think he — he’s traveling right now. He needs a little time to himself. When do you think he’ll be back in port charles? I’m not sure. But I didn’t want to wait to see you any longer. So, I want to hear everything about your life. So, I want to hear about school and your friends and your classes. Valentin: Well, this third wheel is going to let you two catch up. I got some errands to run. I’ll see you both later. Bye, ma petite. Bye, papa.

[ Door closes ] Charlotte. Are you worried about your father? When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd things changed for me. Breztri gave me better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups.

Breztri won’t replace

a rescue inhaler

for sudden breathing problems.

It is not for asthma.

Tell your doctor if you have

a heart condition

or high blood pressure

before taking it.

Don’t take breztri

more than prescribed.

Breztri may increase

your risk of thrush,

pneumonia, and osteoporosis.

Call your doctor if worsened

breathing, chest pain,

mouth or tongue swelling,

problems urinating,

vision changes,

or eye pain occur. Ask your doctor about breztri. Listen, your deodorant just has to work.I use secret aluminum free. Just swipe and it lasts all day. Judge kim, with all due respect, a simple denial of the fishing trip would clear up this misunderstanding. Do you deny that you took the trip? Do you deny you were a passenger on asher alexander’s jet? This interview is over. You agreed to this interview on the record, which means I am free to publish anything and everything that was said here today. Which in the end, could prove very embarrassing to you. It might also stall your rise to the federal circuit. You lured me here under false pretenses. All you have to do is commute the sentence — the unfair, harsh sentence that you imposed on drew cain to time served and set him free. And then this interview will never see the light of day. So, that’s what this is all about. Blackmail. Ms. Davis, you belong in a prison cell alongside drew cain. Are you, um… are you questioning my work ethic? Only if you’re questioning mine. I’m just happy to see you. That’s how you show it? Yeah.

[ Laughs ] You know, I think you and i are so used to sparring with each other in court that that’s become our default M.O. I-I’m — I’m thinking maybe we should change that. But then, robert, what would we do for fun? You know, sasha went through a pretty awful ordeal, right? I mean, her leaving town — it’s not a bad idea. No, it’s a terrible idea, and I told her so. Sasha wouldn’t listen to me. Alright, enough. What did you say to her?

[ Sighs ] I told her that moving to austin without a job or friends or family would be a mistake. And? And what? And what else did you say to her? Nothing. What do you mean, nothing? You didn’t tell her that you wanted her to stay? No. Why not?

[ Scoffs ] Miss prince. The doctor’s ready to see ace now. Thank you. Look, spencer, I got it. I’d prefer to speak to the pediatrician alone. What the hell was that about?

[ Breathes sharply ] Uh, well, that was esme, exerting her parental rights, which you do not share. I think papa’s worried about me. Well, most parents do worryabout their kids. Is there something specific you think your dad’s worried about? He’s never pulled me out of school early to see you. And I know you were gone, but I could have just seen you tonight. So, why did he pick me up early from school? Okay, I think I can solve this mystery. I requested this special meeting because you are my number-one priority, ahead of everything else, and I-I wanted us to have this time alone together before I had to go back and assume my, uh, mayoral duties. Grandma, now that you’re back, I don’t feel so alone now. Have you been sitting alone in the dining room since your meeting with jordan? I have, yeah. Why? You know, I could have very easily met you up in…your room. I-I don’t like being alone in my suite. Well, you’re not alone, are you? You have sonny’s bodyguard watching over you. I just feel trapped. And vulnerable. Isolated from the rest of the world. Like a sitting duck. Waiting for whoever’s after me. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Thanks to sk the reason I didn’t tell sasha that I don’t want her to leave port charles is ’cause I did what I always do. I made it about myself. Oh. How so? I don’t even know how it happened, but we…

[ Sighs ] I started talking about people making mistakes and how everyone does it. And…

[ Chuckles ] Then what? What did you say to her? Yeah, and the next thing I know, I was confessing to her that mac scorpio is my biological father, and I lied to him about it. What were you thinking? I wasn’T. [ Scoffs ] Damn, you really did make it all about yourself, didn’t you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I know, I just… man, I was desperate. I really don’t want her to go. Well, you don’t have to stay here alone if you don’t feel safe. I mean, you have other alternatives. Well, I’m not coming to stay with you because you have charlotte to consider. And I am not about to bring whatever danger is after me down on her. No, no. You’re — you’re right. I mean, I have to be alone with my daughter right now. It’s not a good time. But I did buy that house for the two of us. You know, regardless of what I’ve just said… I am fine here, okay? I disagree. You don’t have to stay here alone. You have plenty of friends in port charles you can turn to. You want to have fun with moi, ms. Miller? If it hasn’t been made clear to you, mr. Scorpio, I do. I enjoy spending time with you. What I don’t enjoy is, um, being made to think that I’m an afterthought or a default friend or otherwise. Wait, wait, wait. I don’t look upon you as a friend. Oh, okay, well, thank you for that. No. No, thanks. Uh, wait. Um, I think that came out wrong. Alright. I’d — I’d — I’d like us not to be just friends. Meaning? Oh, um, why don’t we, uh, pick up where we left off, hm? Absolutely not. Well, I just crashed and burned. What are you talking about? You were masterful. Masterful? If I were a lawyer in a courtroom, which I’m sadly not. I am a publisher of a newspaper, and this was a press interview. He was not under oath, nor was he facing any charges of perjury. No, but you got your point across, and very successfully, I might add. So what? So what?! What difference does it make? I just let that man leave with the upper hand. I mean, what was I thinking? That I was going to hammer him so hard that he would admit that he’s corrupt and taking gifts from special interests? We don’t know what he was thinking when he left. The guy is scum, but he has an excellent legal mind, and he did exactly what he should have done — he walked out! And me? I’m left with half an interview where he didn’t admit to doing anything wrong and zero leverage to help drew. Who’s the lucky girl? Charlotte cassadine. Wow. Good for them.

[ Chuckles ] Wow. I love hearing all this good news. Well, she wasn’t my favorite person when she was little and bullying aiden, but she’s grown up a lot, and I-I think she might actually be good for jake. In what ways? Well, you know, my boy is so shy and reserved, and charlotte is very confident, and it seems to be rubbing off on him. Hmm. It’s the first time since franco’s death that jake doesn’t seem down all the time. I’m really glad to hear that. And charlotte is the most popular girl in their class, so dating her has really boosted his self-esteem. [ Chuckles ] That’s great. You know I love jake. I love him like he was my own son. I know you do. He loves you, too.

[ Monitor beeping ] You know, you mean a lot to all of us.

[ Door opens ] Cain… your transfer paperwork has been approved. I’ll be taking you back to pentonville. My mit did change her. D calcood.To tell you the truth, but, uh, well, to tell you the truth, I was very alone when I was a kid. And it was really painful. I… I guess I just wanted you to know that you are not alone. Okay, hon? Because you have me, and you also have your dad. You’re right. I do have you and papa, but…that’s it. I don’t have any friends at school. Oh, sweetheart, I’m so sorry. Are you having trouble making friends at school? Yes and no. I think I’ve just been away from port charles too long. You know, all my old friends are into different things now, and… they just keep their distance from me. Well, you know, elizabeth told me that, uh, you and jake have become friends. Sometimes all you need is one good friend.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. Jake and I are friends, and he’s really nice, but he’s a boy.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] That’s a lot different when you don’t have another girl to talk about things with. Yeah. You’ve got me.

[ Chuckling ] Well, yeah, but you’re my grandma. I know. It’s not the same. I don’t know, I just don’t have someone to hang out with. And papa’s never around. He’s always busy. Yeah. He spends an awful lot of time with anna, doesn’t he? I’m not goin g to imposthat is just too much to ask. I don’t think any of them would feel it was an imposition. And mac and jordan have law enforcement training. If whoever is targeting you is… the solution is not for me to hole up with my friends and bring danger to their door. The solution is for me to go after whoever is trying to dismantle my life and shut them down. There’s really no need for people to keep reminding me that I’m not ace’s father. I get that, okay? But ace’s father, who’s also my father, is missing in action because — I don’t know — he doesn’t care that he has two sons. Spencer. You don’t know what’s going on in nikolas’s head any more than I do. A benefit of the doubt is always the healthiest approach until you know the facts. Come on, kevin. Kevin! My grandmother, who is the sweetest, kindest, most determined person on the planet, has had to finally admit to herself that my father is not coming back. And someone has to fill that void. Someone needs to be there for him. Someone that’s not esme. And — and to be honest with you, I-I don’t much care what the official title is, be it “father” or “brother.” I’m going to step up and take care of my baby brother. I’m going to do it. Well [Sighs] You should care, spencer. Now, your love and commitment to ace is commendable… but you don’t have any actual parental rights where ace is concerned. I know. I know — you understand that, yeah? Yes, I understand that. And I’d really like to stop hearing about that from people like you and everybody else. You’ve heard this before? Yes. I get it. From a legal standpoint, esme has the final say. That’s right. Well, fortunately, with the exception of this — uh, I guess we’ll chalk it up to a miscommunication — esme and I have been able to work together to take care of ace, and I’M… I’m expecting that that’s not going to change any time soon. I’m a little, uh, confused. I think I’m getting mixed signals here. No, I don’t send mixed signals, robert. Picking up where we left off would leave such a bad taste in my mouth. It would just remind me about how I was used for holly’s agenda and how I was…

[Scoffs] How I was treated when she was around. I’m — I’m sorry. Okay. Thank you, but let me finish. I have been back and forth in my head about you, robert. The moment I start to think, even for a second, about what a great guy you are, smart, funny, charming, I am blindsided again by yet another revelation about something, anything in your past. So , you want good. I’ll tell you. I’m going on and on about my troubles when you, my best friend, are under an investigation at work for shooting someone. You know what? It’s nothing. This is just, uh, police procedure type stuff. It’s easier than doing math homework with rocco. I still suck at math.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Well, thanks, man. For what? You know, everything you’ve done. Not just for me since I got here to port charles, but for sasha, too. I don’t know if we could have pulled this off without you and sam. You’re a good friend, dante. So is sam. Yeah, she came around, huh? Ah, come on. I knew that was going to happen. Oh, you did? I am irresistible. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Yep. I don’t know. I don’t know if sasha thinks so.

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Chuckles ] Soon. Very soon. Listen. Hey. No, no. Really, I’m — I’m sorry that all this stuff with sasha is happening, and I know she’s come to mean a lot to you. (Vo)an help you have fewer attacks and relieve you went to live with sam and dante, right? And your dad lived with anna. What did you think about that? That was just temporary while papa was buying this house for us, so I didn’t try to think about it. I didn’t even ask you, grandma. You didn’t even ask me what? What do you think of the house papa bought for me? Well, my o you think about the house?

[ Sighs ] 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. It’s all I wanted. A house like this? A home for me and papa… all to ourselves. I am sorry this is happening to you. You don’t deserve this at all. Well, you know what? I disagree… because we both know I brought this down on myself. Oh, god. I did. You know, I was a double agent. I betrayed the wsb. I betrayed my country. And I have to accept the fallout from that. No. Nothing could be further from the truth.

[ Scoffs ] You are being targeted. You are having your entire life dismantled… by someone’s twisted idea of vengeance. What? Why would you say that? Wh y do you think it’s revengeinstead of justice? Maybe I’m just being selfish. How so? You know, wanting sasha to stay here in port charles. I don’t think that’s being selfish. You like her, and you want what’s best for her. Yeah, well, if I really do, then maybe I need to realize that this has got to be really hard for her. All these reminders of brando, liam, and nightmare gladys. Well, look, gladys — you’re not gonna have to worry about her ever again. She’s never going to show up in port charles. Yeah, yeah. Sam told me your dad made sure of that. Yeah — yeah, sonny, he can be, um, persuasive.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I bet. Why do I feel I’m about to get hit by the infamous killer miller atom bomb? Ooh, infamous atom bomb. Interesting. Come on, buck up, soldier. I have a feeling robert scorpio can handle what I’m about to say. You’re sure of that? Absolutely. Besides, this is a golden opportunity for someone who shall remain nameless, but who is you, to become a better human being. Okay, lay it on me. Alright. No, we’re not going to pick up where we left off. There’s too much hurt and confusion and betrayal, dishonesty down that road. What are you suggesting? We wipe the slate clean. We clear the chessboard, as it were. And this is great, because now you get to put your pawn anywhere you want to because you’re starting at square one. That may have been our only chance to get drew released, and I had to fumble it. You didn’t fumble it. You got to him. I should have approached this like in negotiations, where each party gets what they want. A subtle warning to judge kim about a potentially embarrassing career decision, and then he gets the chance to clean it up before the dam breaks. And then an early, quiet release for drew. Nothing said overtly, all implied. This is how deals are done every day. But I had to go for the jugular. I had to grandstand. And you know why I did that? I believe you’re about to tell me. Because that’s what lawyers do. And I’m a lawyer, or I want to be one, and I-I miss it. I wanted to win, and I lost big. Not for me, but for drew. You know, maybe there’s a way we can delay this. Elizabeth. Dr. Ashford is on duty. I can talk to him, and he can say that there are more tests that need to be done tomorrow. Then you can stay here an extra night. There’s no point in delaying the inevitable. Honestly, it probably would make it more torturous. Hey, we both know I’m gonna end up in prison eventually. Okay, then let me call carly for you. No. Why not? Because I don’t want her to see me literally be, like, hauled out of here in chains. It’d be better that she just… she just finds out about it once — once I’m gone.

Ardiance an happen. Most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. Ask about ubrelvy. Alright. Are you leaving? I thought you could sit around all day and listen to me sulk. Oh, yeah. And rip up napkins? That sounds like a lot of fun. No, I, uh, got to get this stuff to mac. Hey, listen. Seeing as you’ve told sasha that mac is your father, don’t you think you should tell him the truth, too?

[ Chuckles ] I mean, I think he deserves to know he’s got a son. What? No, no. No way. No, I mean, I-I-I lied to mac’s face about being his son. I-I — dude, there’s no way I could look at his face and see the disappointment and hurt when he found out. Okay. Can’t do it. Okay, look, I’m — I’m not gonna push it, but you have to think about what you’re keeping from him. This isn’t a minor thing. You not telling mac that you’re his son, that makes everyone’s life a lot more complicated. Well, as, uh, as an ex-spy, I’m a pretty strategic and excellent chess player. So, what are you saying, district attorney? I accept the challenge and the conditions. Excellent. I’m just going to give you a warning. Uh, wait a minute. A warning? Yeah. That’s a strategic advantage to me. No, in this case, a warning is just a warning. This is a game solely between you and me. If you invite anyone else to play or even watch, then I’m going to take my queen and go home. Just you and me. Those are my terms. Hmm. Liking how this sounds already. Just us — robert and diane. Uh, more like — more like diane and robert. But here’s — here’s one more thing. Name it. Not only will I take my queen and go home, I will take the entire chessboard. And there won’t be a rematch. Spencer, I get it. I do. Ace is your little brother. You want nothing but the best for him. But you really don’t help him if you deny the reality of the situation. The reality is that I’m going to do what I can for him. The reality is you and esme no longer have anything in common except ace. And as your lives diverge, and they will, you may have to accept a reduced role in ace’s life. No. I don’t accept that. Hey, how’d it go? Ace is once again in the 99th percentile. Oh, way to go. That’s what I’m talking about. I think that this calls for a celebration, yeah? What if we go to kelly’s, celebrate? Okay, well, uh, thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I’ll take it from here. A cup of hot cocoa from kelly’s does sound good, doesn’t it? Yeah? Get you some snacks. Maybe you can color.

[ Gasps ] You’re such a good artist. I know how close you are with your father, charlotte. And as much as he loves you, your father was never a teenage girl. But I was. And I remember what it felt like. And it was really, really hard sometimes just…to be yourself. I felt like — I felt like no one understood me, you know? I never knew how I fit in in my family. I-I didn’t feel like I fit in at school at all or with my friends, you know, hon? Oh, sweetie. And I had two really successful doctor parents, and that was kind of hard. Yeah. I didn’t always believe everything they told me. Did I take the advice that they gave me? No, I didn’T. It was a very hard time. Painful. Confusing. Charlotte. Can you keep a secret? Sure. Okay. When I was your age… …I made some mistakes. Some really big mistakes. Really? Yes, dear. I did. And it was your great-grandmother, lesley, who saved me, really. She did. She was like my rock. And I want to be there for you right now the way she was there for me. I want that more than anything. Wouldn’t have it any other way. So, sweetheart… …if there’s something that you need to say to someone, something that maybe you need to share… …I’m here to listen to you. Grandma… yes, dear? I’m really glad you’re back. I missed you. I missed you, too. This all started with the reading of victor’s will and your wsb file being released to the press. Your father’s final act of revenge on me. No doubt. And I think that triggered someone else to take action. I think there is someone else targeting you on victor’s behalf. Have you always been this hard on yourself? Yes. Especially when I screw up like I did today and the screw-up affects somebody that I care about. I’m sorry, alexis, but I-I don’t see it that way. I was here, and I saw and heard you in action. You were great. And if anything significant happened today, it was that you made a sacrifice. What sacrifice? Every instinct you have was screaming — is still screaming to publish an exposé on kim’s corruption, to barbecue him in the invader. But you held back for drew’s sake and offered kim a deal. I came on too strong. There’s no guarantee that a softer approach would have been any more effective. The point is, is that I went after judge kim because I wanted to, and it was stupid and unprofessional.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] I have to get that. Hello. Thank you, uh, for letting me know. Keep me posted. That was a friend of mine from the federal building. He said that judge kim asked his clerk to pull drew cain’s file. And? Apparently, he may be reconsidering drew’s sentence. See? Nice work, counselor.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

what a nice surprise. Thank you for bringing breakfast. Yeah. I wanted to see you, and I figured, you ran out of the house without eating this morning, so I decided to bring breakfast to you. I’ve missed spending time with you. Oh, I’ve neglected you and the kids. Mom, first, we understand. And second, you have not neglected us. I didn’t realize how much there was to learn about this position. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. But I feel like I’m back in college studying for finals. Well, it’s all going to be worth it. I mean, you’re taking on a totally new career where you get to help people at the most vulnerable time in their lives. We are so proud of you. Thanks. I’m really sorry I had to, uh, cancel, but I figured, if anybody understood the sick child excuse, it was you. Oh. And I was wondering if, you know, maybe you’d consider a rain check. Of course. How’s violet feeling today? She’s much better, thank you. She was up early and excited to go to school. Good. Let’s forget the rain check and figure it out right now. How about friday? No. You busy? No. I don’t want just one night together. Can you do a friday and a saturday night? What do you mean? Let’s spend the weekend together. Maybe get out of town for a couple days? What do you say? I like this look. New suit? This? No. It’s old. I haven’t worn it since I was disbarred. It’s my summation suit. I would wear it to closing arguments. I am not superstitious. But I did win most of those cases. So it’s your lucky suit? I hope so.

[ Chuckles ] Do you miss it, being in court? Yes.

[ Sighs ] There’s really nothing like it when you are in a courtroom and you have the jury in your hands. And when I did my closing statements, I would look each one of them in the eyes until I was sure we had a connection. And then when the judge rules in your favor, it’S… not this.

[ Chuckles ] Interviewing an ambitious judge is certainly not the same thing. I’m sure you’ll be just as passionate as you were in the courtroom. I hope so. Well, judge kim handed down a sentence that was harsh and biased. And I have no doubt, with your skills, you’ll get drew out of prison. That’s the plan. And if this is going to work, I need your help. So, you ready for battle? Oh, my gosh! This is — this is huge! Your dad’s alive! But they just don’t know where he is. Yeah. Wait a minute. So… he just doesn’t want to see you? Yeah. But he knows about ace, right? Yeah. Okay, what is with these one-word answers? Aren’t you upset that he’s not coming home? And please don’t say “yeah.” Trina, I don’t mean to be glib. It’s just that, if my father were to come home right now, that would ruin things. How? Because esme and ace and I, we’re… we’ve kind of gotten into a routine, and it’s nice because I can spend a lot of time with ace this way, and now that my grandmother and kevin are home, they can help out when they need to. And me and esme can take a break. And I think that if my father were to come home right now, that would throw everything off. So I’m kind of glad that he’s stayed away. Don’t you think ace needs his father? No. Because he has me. This is all my fault. I’m her father. I am supposed to protect her. And I have completely failed her. I was so obsessed with victor and anna and tracking down nikolas that I — I totally lost touch with my teenage daughter. Okay, listen, I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what it is, all right? So, did something happen to charlotte? Yeah. Okay. When I got back from russia, I was staying with anna while charlotte was at camp, and, one night, I was out, and anna went for a run. And that was the night that anna’s townhouse burned down. Oh, yes, I did hear about that. I-I am so sorry to hear. It must have been very hard on anna. But thank god no one was in the house at the time. Do they know what started it? Oh, it was arson. It was intentional. Arson? Yeah. We were… pretty shaken up. Yeah. So we sent charlotte to sam and dante’s for a while. That’s a good idea. She’d definitely be protected there. Yeah, we didn’t realize that we would need protection from her, though. I-I don’t understand. Laura, a couple of weeks later, we were staying at the metro court hotel. We were just getting back from dinner, and we discovered our hotel suite had been trashed, and there was a threatening message written on the hotel mirror. It was charlotte.

[ Exhales deeply ] Thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience. It’s not a problem. Hey, just ’cause I’m paranoid doesn’t mean someone’s

not after me, right? Anna, it’s perfectly understandable to feel on edge. First, your house burned down. Then there was the incident at your hotel suite. Pcpd made any progress? Unfortunately, no. But it is an ongoing investigation, so, hopefully, they’ll come up with some leads. Oh.

[ Sighs ] Feel so anxious lately. You know, like… like a sitting duck. Have there been any more incidents? No. It doesn’t stop me looking over my shoulder or jumping at my shadow. Which is exactly what the wsb wants. Mm. So, you’re convinced they’re somehow connected to this? I don’t know. I mean, I can’t prove it. Everything that’s happened, you know, is right out of their playbook. Toying with me. I mean, they won’t make another attempt until their target, me, relaxes into a false sense of security, which I have absolutely no intention of doing. Is there anything I can do? I mean, I have my own bodyguard now, full time, courtesy of sonny. So whenever my enemy, whoever they are, makes another move… …I’ll be ready. Look, I know you have a lot going on with the boys being back in school, but this offer just kind of fell in my lap. What offer? I have this friend, dan. Good guy, you know? And he’s got this amazing cabin in the mountains. It’s nothing fancy, but, I mean, it’s beautiful. The lake and the trees. And it’s just kind of a magical place to recharge after a long week here. Look, I know it’s short notice, and so if you can’t make it, I… I totally understand. Wait. Or we can do it some other time. What is it that I’ve been telling you up on the roof? All right. Tha t we shouldtake advantage of every moment? Okay, yes. Let’s — let’s do this. I will call my gram and see if she can watch the boys. Okay, and I’m sure chase and my dad could look after violet. So, are we doing this? We’re doing this.

[ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone beeping ] Yeah — oh. Yeah. I’m needed in surgery. But, um… I’m really glad you can go. I can’t wait. You want me in the room? Of course I want you in the room. That’s part of the strategy, that I’m going to be the lead or take the lead, and then, occasionally, I’ll toss it to you, right?

[ Sighs ] And that’s when you’re going to butter him up. You’re going to make him think that this puff piece is going to build his reputation. You’re going to play to his ego. And then when we have him relaxed, that’s when we go in for the kill and blindside him with the documents that we’ve uncovered. I don’t know, alexis. My contribution was strictly research. I-I had no intention of being in the spotlight. You don’t need me. I do too need you. You’re my co-counsel.

[ Sighs ] What do you say? I’m in. Spencer, every child needs their parent, and it’s important for a boy to grow up with his father. No. Not when that father is nikolas cassadine. That man is rotten to his core, trina. Okay, I’m — I’m confused, because a few days ago, we talked about your dad. And you said that you and ace are better off without him, and you were all fired up. But then I reminded you of sweet moments that you shared with me — stories from your childhood where you bonded with your dad and looked up to him — and then you admitted that you still loved him and hope that he’s okay. And now you just don’t want him back in your life? It was just a moment of vulnerability. I got caught up in false sentiment, and I realized that just because I had a few sweet moments with him from my childhood, it doesn’t mean that my father isn’t the same cruel person that he always has been, and I think that ace is better off without his influence. So you’re fine with esme’s influence? How I feel about esme is irrelevant. She’s ace’s mother, and she’s — that’s never going to change, trina. So, you can’t just forget about the awful things the old esme did. That person might still be under the surface just waiting to come out. I have no misconceptions about who esme is, and I can’t believe that I’m going to say this — she’s been a good mother to ace.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, so just like with your dad, your opinion has seemed to change, because not only did you want to take ace away from esme, but you were the one who said that we should hold on to the false evidence that victor left you! Yes. Yes. Because I am cautious. And that evidence acts as an insurance policy should esme revert back to her old ways. It’s future leverage, trina. So you don’t really trust her? Yes and no. I’m never going to forgive her for what she did to you and joss and cam. But at the same time, the new and improved version of her seems to be at least somewhat sincere. Oh. I don’t care what type of mother esme is to ace. That is the same woman who not only drugged me, but framed me for violating my best friend. And I think she’s still motivated by jealousy and wants to be with you. Oh, come — no. Trina! Come on. She doesn’t want that. Spencer! Snap out of it. This fantasy that you and esme have of playing house is a dream come true for her. I’m so happy with the new house. You know, at first, I thought it was going to be really weird since it was lulu’S. We spent so much time there, laughing, crying. Lulu would love the idea of you being there. The house is filled with life again. Yeah. And georgie and james both have their own rooms, so I don’t have to referee the two of them. It’s a win-win. Oh, I wish I could see them more. James was telling me he found the perfect tree to climb in the backyard. Yeah. Ooh, maybe mac and I could come over on sunday, and I could cook. Oh, okay. You’ll have to barbecue. Isn’t it getting a little chilly for that? Yeah, but james is kind of obsessed with grilling hot dogs. Oh, okay. So, have you finished unpacking? I know that you’ve been very busy at deception. Work has been a little tense lately. I thought the lawsuit was settled. Yeah, yeah. Lucy managed to save the company, but it came at a very high price.

[ Murmuring indistinctly ] I hear congrats are in order. Oh. Ah! Co-chief of staff? That’s great. Thank you. I wasn’t sure at first, but now I’m happy that I made the decision. It’s not an easy job. No, it’s not. There’s a lot of challenges around here, but I have confidence in my co-chief, terry. Dr. Randolph’s made great and significant changes around here. I really hope to be a part of that. I hate to bring up bad news on your first official day. That’s okay. I can handle it. That’s what this job is all about. Well, it’s not a problem with G.H. Huh? Someone was here last night, and it’s your right to know. It was cyrus renault. He was released from prison. There’s got to besome kind of a mistake. Charlotte? How can you be so sure? Security footage. I saw her… breaking into our room while we were out.

[ Scoffs ] Couldn’t that be somebody else? I mean, come on. Anna’s built up an awful lot of enemies over the years. My god, we don’t even know yet whether or not anna is the real target at the metro court pool shooting. The only one in the footage was charlotte. I — it’s just so hard for me to believe that my sweet, little granddaughter could do something like that. Yeah, well, it makes me sick. But I saw the footage, and I saw the room. Furniture overturned, anna’s clothes all over the place, covered with red ink. What was the message on the mirror? “You think you got away with it? You didn’T. You think you’re safe? You’re not.” Oh, my god. Have you confronted charlotte about any of this? No. I asked her where she was, gave her a chance to come clean. And I’m guessing she didn’t? No, she lied right to my face. Oh, my gosh. Oh, boy. This — this is a lot for me to digest. It just, uh… okay, look, we’re — we’re going to figure it out. We are going to figure it out. And we’re going to find a way to help charlotte. I don’t know if that’s possible. Because it’s worse than you realize.

Bladder leak underwear

has one job. Do you think that, uh, you’re going to go back to your old job as police commissioner? Well, laura hasn’t been gone very long, so we haven’t had time to discuss it. What’s your gut telling you? To be honest? I’m pretty torn. Really? That surprises me. I thought you’d jump at the chance to get your badge back.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, I never thought of this job as more than a temporary thing, but I have to admit, I’ve enjoyed being deputy mayor. And the thought of working with laura full time, it’s appealing. Yeah. She’s great. She really gets things done in this city, which is a hard thing. Trust me.

[ Chuckles ] Part of me thinks I could better serve port charles working in the mayor’s office, but I gotta say, there’s — there’s nothing like getting your hands dirty on a case.

[ Elevator hums ] Jordan. Why wouldn’t you at least warn me? At least warn me that cyrus renault was released? Trina, you have nothing to worry about. Esme is not a threat to us. I don’t think she’s actively trying to drive us apart, but I think nothing would make her happier than having you all to herself. I would never let that happen. But she already knows that you’re committed to ace. And I think she loves the fact that you’re a father figure to him. Yes, and I don’t see anything wrong with me filling that role for my brother. That’s just it. That is just it. He is your brother, not your son. He’s not your responsibility. Your father needs to be taking care of him. No matter what you think of nikolas, he did a good job with you. He raised the man that I fell in love with. So he can’t be all bad. Okay, so what would you suggest, trina? That I just have no active role in ace’s life or…? No.

[ Chuckles sarcastically ] I’m not suggesting that you abandon him. But I need you to start thinking about your future. Our future — yours and mine. I think charlotte burned anna’s house. No. No. Charlotte didn’t do that. I didn’t think she could trash a hotel room, but she did. But arson? I mean, come on. That’s a whole lot worse. Besides, it’s not possible. Didn’t you just tell me that she was away at camp? Camp’s an hour away. She could have taken a rideshare. I think that’s a lot of planning for a 15-year-old kid. Laura, I think she waited outside until the house was empty, because she didn’t want to hurt anybody, but she wanted to cause mass destruction. And she did. She succeeded. But this is all speculation now, right? It is. You don’t have proof. Do you? No. But I believe she burned anna’s house, and I believe she’s disturbed. And I can’t get through to her. But I’m praying that you can. Thank you so much, gram. I realize it’s last minute, so I really appreciate it. The boys will be excited to see you, too. Oh, and aiden has a new recipe he wants to try out on you.

[ Chuckles ] No, it’s just a, um — a weekend thing. I’m going away with a friend. Yes, gram, it’s finn.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I’m glad to hear you say that, ’cause I really like him a lot, too. Hey. Thanks, chase. I owe you one, all right? My — my next call will be to dad, but I know he’ll be happy to spend some time with you and violet. No, no, you don’t have to worry about tea parties. She’s kind of outgrown that, but, um… get ready for a manicure. Oh, it’s my buddy dan. You met him, right? It’s his cabin in the — in the mountains. You know, with everything going on, I could just… I could use getting away for a couple days. I’m really looking forward to it, bro.

[ Telephone rings ] Yep. Okay, I’ll be right down. The judge has arrived. I am going to go down and greet him, and then I’ll escort him up. Show time! You better be here when I get back. (Woman) what if my type 2 diabetes takes over?I don’t believe — I don’t believe charlotte’s capable of burning down anna’s house. And I wouldn’t believe she was capable of trashing a hotel suite, but she did. It’s not that inconceivable. Yes, but you have proof of that. By the way, can I see that footage? The footage no longer exists. Okay, look. The best way for us to help charlotte is to try to understand what’s driving this behavior. Well, I don’t have a clue, because she used to like anna. She’s clearly targeting her. I mean, maybe she resents her over all the time that anna and I spent together in the safe house working against victor. She’s jealous that I chose anna over her. I don’T… that’s it. That’s it! It’s victor. Well, you better give me some answers. I should have been notified before renault’s release, and his victims deserve to know, as well. Find out who dropped the ball and call me back.

[ Sighs ] This is unbelievable. How? How could something like this possibly happen? It seems renault was given a hardship release. He suffered a major heart attack a few months ago, and a doctor testified that he’s physically debilitated.

[ Scoffs ] It doesn’t take a lot of strength to hold a gun. Apparently, warden garten also gave a statement to the parole board. She claims cyrus was a model prisoner. She claims he’s reformed and not a threat to anyone. This maniac threatened to kill me. He threatened to kill my daughter. He held me hostage in my own home with his sister. How? H-how is he not a threat?

[ Sighs ] Portia, I know this is difficult. There has to be a way to get this reversed. To get him sent back to prison, where he belongs. Anna: Oh, god. Portia. No, I’m sorry. That’s not possible. Lucy just announced to the entire office that she was taking tracy’s deal, and they dropped the lawsuit. Isn’t that a good thing? Well, none of our options were good. But now tracy has 51% of the company, and we can market the deceptor again. Isn’t that your most successful product? Yes, it is. But, unfortunately, lucy wants to rework the entire ad campaign, which means replacing sasha as the face of deception. Oh, that poor girl. She’s been through so much. I know. And I wanted to tell her in person, so I went over to her apartment, and I found her there packing to move to texas. Well, she must have family there. I mean, I can understand her wanting to be with them at a time like this. No, mom, that’s the weird thing. She does not have family in texas. She said she just wants a fresh start. It seemed so important to her, I didn’t have the heart to tell her she’s being replaced at deception. Maybe she just needs to make a clean break. Was she going to leave without saying goodbye? Yes. And my heart breaks for how much pain she’s in.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry for sasha. And for you. You’re losing a good friend. Hey, uh, tj. Can I talk to you a minute about that consultation? What’s up? Look, I know we scheduled it for saturday, but I also know it’s not urgent. I was wondering if we could reschedule, because I need to clear all my appointments for this weekend. Are you going away? Maybe.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I am. And I know that sounds kind of strange for a workaholic like myself. Well, I haven’t seen you this upbeat since you found a cure for that parasite. It’s like you’re a — you’re a whole different person. Where’s this coming from? We’re at a different point in our relationship than when ace was born. We’re more serious now. And I think it’s time we talk about what lies ahead for us. So you — you want to know about my future? Yeah. I do. I mean, where do you see yourself in five years?

[ Scoffs ] Well, thank you for seeing me today, ms. Robinson. I… my future? I don’t know. Uh…

[ Inhales sharply ] Having fun? Spending time with my friends and family? Being with the love of my life, you, ms. Robinson? Spencer, don’t do that. I’m being serious. Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. I really want to know. Like, i really want to know. Like, what… what do you want out of life? What are your dreams? What makes you happy? You. You make me happy. And my brother. My… ace makes me happy. Why didn’t we do th I can’t blame sasha for wanting to start over. This place holds so many painful memories for her. First losing a child, and then her husband. It must be so overwhelming. I’m sure you’re going to miss her. I will. And deception won’t be the same without her. We made such a great team with lucy and brook lynn.

[ Sighs ] Although brook lynn ruined it before sasha even left. Still can’t believe she betrayed us. You were so close to brook lynn. Yeah, and now that friendship is over. But it doesn’t have to be. I don’t know what your diagnosis is, doctor, but your symptoms lately are happiness, high spirits, bordering on downright cheerful. I mean, I don’t know what the cause is, but, hopefully, there’s no cure.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, this friend told me that we — we have to hold on to the small moments in life, you know? If something good presents itself, don’t let go. Do what makes you happy. And I guess that’s what I’m trying to do. It sounds like you have a very wise friend. Yeah. How about you? How’s the surrogacy going? It’s been a struggle to get here, but now everything’s on track. Pregnancy is going well, and molly and I, we’re so excited for our first ultrasound. Congratulations, tj.

[ Chuckles ] See? Looks like you’re in a good moment, too. Trina, I love you. But my — my brother’s always going to be a part of my life. And I get that. I would never ask you to walk away from him. But it seems like you want to be more than just his brother. No, I’m well aware that he’s not my son. But it doesn’t mean that I can’t be there for him. And I want to make sure that he feels loved and safe. You and esme already give him a safe and stable home. Yeah, and I’m going to make sure that he stays there and that he’s never shipped off to a boarding school, like I was, because I don’t think that my father ever realized how difficult that was for me. It was very isolating. And lonely. Well, unfortunately, loneliness is a part of life. For some more than others. Well, it’s not going to be a part of ace’S. Not as long as I have something to say about it. And what about his mother? Does her say matter? Alexis: Come on in. All right. Um, judge kim, may I introduce you to professor gregory chase? He’s a senior member of our editorial board. And this is the honorable judge albert kim. Pleasure to meet you. You, as well. Gregory has an extensive background in journalism, and he’s written several pieces on the supreme court and the federal judiciary. I’ve enjoyed reviewing your decisions. You’re a very impressive jurist. I’m flattered, but that’s the first time I’ve heard the word “enjoy” associated with my decrees.

[ Laughs ] I find some of your cases very interesting. Even chapman V. Young? Uh, yes. Your adjudication in that case set a precedent for cyberbullying. Clearly, the professor has done his homework. He has. I want to thank you very much for agreeing to this interview. So, um, why don’t we begin? Make yourself comfortable. Have a seat here, if you don’t mind. So, I thought we’d begin with just some general questions. What drew you to a career in law? Victor had charlotte at that boarding school in switzerland for almost a year. We don’t know how many times he could have visited her there or — or what lies he could have fed her. According to charlotte, he never visited her there. But who knows? That doesn’T… there was also that time that we all went to dinner at the metro court, and charlotte wanted to wash her hands before we sat down at the table. I felt like she was gone a little too long, so I went to look for her, and I found her in the alcove with victor. Yeah, I-I sent her back to the table, and I gave him a very strong warning. You’ve never told me that before. Well, it just didn’t really mean much of anything before. But now I’m starting to think that maybe — maybe he was always right there, influencing her. Victor always hated anna. He blamed her. For what? For turning me against him. Okay. This is starting to make sense. So this is revenge. He’s weaponized charlotte, and he’s pointed her directly at anna.

Try new mirafiber gummies. Clearly, brook lynn made a huge mistake helping tracy, but I’m sure she was forced into it. Blackmailing family members comes easy for tracy. Brook lynn should have come to me first. We could have figured out a way around tracy, out-maneuver her or something. But by the time brook lynn fessed up…

[ Scoffs ] …It was too late. Surely you understand someone resorting to extreme measures when being backed into a corner. Okay, okay. I’ve made a few mistakes in my past, told a few lies. Planned a few schemes. Point taken. Guess I’m really in no position to judge brook lynn. Exactly. So just be honest with her. Tell her that you forgive her. Tell sasha you don’t want her to leave. How did I end up with such a smart mother? You’re just lucky, I guess.

[ Laughs ] I don’t see ace and esme living with you and laura forever. Do you? Well, we haven’t discussed it yet, but esme knows that she can stay there for as long as she likes. She has everything that she needs there. You know, as ace gets older, esme will make decisions that will affect his future. Where he lives, who he sees will be her choice, not yours. Well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, but I don’t see anything changing for a while.

[ Sighs ] Well, this idyllic situation, it can’t last forever. And, eventually, esme and ace, they’ll be on their own. And there’s nothingyou can do about it. Why? Why can’t we get this man put behind bars, where he belongs? Yeah, well, unfortunately, this is a legal provision intended to show mercy for elderly and infirm prisoners. But this is insane. I know. This is insane. He’s exploiting the justice system. That’s what he’s doing. Jordan: You’re right. But our hands are tied. I know this isn’t too much comfort, but there is no way renault will go near you or trina again. No, yeah, you don’t know that. This maniac is playing the feeble-old-man card. And some judge out there, some judge actually bought it. Look, I despise cyrus, but he’s smart and calculating. He had to have called in a lot of favors to get released. And there’s no way he’s going to do anything to jeopardize it. And don’t forget, there’s laura, as well. I’m sure cyrus is going to want to reconcile with his sister. So he’ll be on his best behavior. I can’t believe I entrusted my daughter to that monster.

[ Sighs ] He was your father. You never would have thought that charlotte would be at risk with him. Listen, you can’t blame yourself for this. I mean, she was far from him, at school, and he still got his claws into her. So, what? He gets her to commit arson, and she’s going to have to pay the price for it? Listen, I am not convinced that it was charlotte who burnt down anna’s house. I know that your father isn’t above manipulating his own granddaughter, but I think it would be more likely that he would encourage her to taunt anna in some way. And I think that would actually explain the hotel room incident. Okay, so what do we do now?

[ Sighs ] Well, now that we know what’s driving her behavior, we can help her. We got her out of that school. Now we just have to get her out from under victor’s influence. Well, after law school, I secured a position as the assistant district attorney for the state of new york. Oh, my daughter works in the da’s office. It’s challenging, but — but she finds it rewarding. It gave me a solid base for understanding the legal system. But I get a greater satisfaction from presiding on the federal bench, especially on cases dealing with constitutional matters. I’ve read your opinions, and you consider yourself an originalist, correct? Yes, I believe the meaning of the constitution doesn’t change over time. I was just reading an article about asher alexander, and apparently you both share that view. Isn’t that the billionaire investment banker? Mm-hmm. Yes, I’ve certainly heard of him. But I wouldn’t know if he agrees with any of my judicial opinions. I’ve never met the man. Really? Then that’s interesting. You flew to st. Thomas on this man’s private jet to go deep-sea fishing, yet you’ve never met him?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Grunts softly ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Knock on door ]

Hi. Want some company? “Blackmail” is such a harsh word. Mm, but that’s exactly what you did to get my daughter to do what you wanted. I prefer… “strongly suggested,” but clearly you think that’s a moral shortcoming.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t think “moral shortcoming” even begins to cover it. How about epic fail as a grandmother? Geez, tracy! Is this how you treat your granddaughter? She came to me for help. I gave it to her. You didn’t help her. You took advantage of her. And now you got to answer to me. Nina: I like us wearing our wedding bands. Makes it so official. I don’t think a big wedding would have been as special. No. I loved our intimate wedding. Mm-hmm. No stress. Just love. Thank you. Thank you, sonny. Not just for the wedding, but for everything. I’m so perfectly happy. Yes, you are perfect.

[ Chuckles ] I still can’t believe you’re here in puerto rico! Well, believe it. And you can thank my abuela. Thank you, abuela! I’d love to meet her. Oh, you’d love her. She is a force of nature. So that’s where you get it from. My abuela is only 5 feet tall and 100 pounds, but that lady is a fireball. Sounds like maybe we should raise a glass to her, then. How about a frozen margarita? I’d love one. Perfect. White male. 41. Two gsw’s to the back. Paramedics think the shots might have missed his spine. Patient reported mobility in lower extremities. He’s been in and out of consciousness. Josslyn?! Josslyn. Hey. I got here as soon as I could. You said something was wrong. I know, I know. I’m sorry. No one’s —

[ Rapid knocking on door ] Oh, my god! Ava, are you okay? I will be — once I see my daughter. Is avery alright? Hey. Drew: Hey. You up for a visitor? Of course I am. It’s always good to see you. You know, I-I know I told you I didn’t want scout to see me in the hospital, but any chance you ignored that and brought that beautiful girl along with you? No. Scout is at a sleepover. Ah. Let me guess. She’s at the q’s getting in some dog time. You guessed right. Annabelle the 2nd, she can’t get enough of. But… surprise, surprise.

[ Fingers tap bag ] She sent me here with a little gift. Looks like she wrapped it herself. She did.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Do you need help? Yeah. Yeah. Hm. Check that out. Well, would you look at this. Avery is perfectly fine. She’s asleep in her room upstairs. And pilar is with her. She’s safe. Oh, thank god. I just figured it’s better her sleeping here than at the police station. Yeah. Oh, joss, thank you. I’m gonna go see her. You need to tell me what the hell’s going on. We just came from the police station, where ava gave her statement. Statement for what?! Well, it’s a long story, but, really, what happened was ava was abducted a couple nights ago, and tonight joss and dex rescued her. We can’t take all the credit. There was a major assist from dante. Okay. Are you okay? Yes. I’m perfectly fine. I was just at the police station with avery and pilar.

They were the ones who were actually in danger. Alright. This is crazy. Ava was abducted? By mason gatlin. Deanna, I need for you to get dr. Larson for me, please. This patient is my cousin. I-I can’t take the lead. Right away, doctor. Thank you. Appreciate that. Hey. Mason. Hey. Hey! It’s austin. Can you hear me? You’re in the hospital, okay? And I need you to wake up. Mason!

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. Where’s ava? It’s so peaceful here. It’s very quiet. It’s like an oasis of tranquility. You’d never guess there was a casino on this island. It’s really nice being close to the ocean. You know why? Hm? Because you can hear the waves, the breeze going through the, you know, palm trees. And the only thing better than that is sharing it with you. What? No, I’m just looking at your handsome face! That’s it. You seem so relaxed. I haven’t seen you this relaxed since nixon falls. Yeah? It’s nice to see you unwind. You’ve been… very stressed lately. Hm, well, you know, there was a situation that I let go way too long, but… when I get back, I’m gonna end it. Two cadillac margaritas coming up. The key is always using a reposado tequila. It’s aged in oak barrels. You really know your stuff. I’m impressed. Oh. My mother wasn’T. Let’s just say she was less than thrilled with my decision to become a bartender. Okay, first of all, there’s nothing wrong with bartending. Thank you. And, secondly, you’re doing so much more. You not only manage charlie’s, but you’re getting that youth shelter off the ground. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Yeah, my mother’s, you know — she’s finally made peace with my choices, and she’s come to respect my decision to do what I want with both charlie’s and the corinthos-davis house. Why are we talking about my mother? What should we toast to? Uh, to me — the new “face of deception.”

[ Chuckles ] Get off your high horse, lois. Brook lynn’s an adult. She got herself into trouble, and she came to me for a favor to get her out of it. And you thought blackmail was the way to do it?

[ Scoffs ] How could you? I made it perfectly clear that favors come at a cost. She agreed to the deal. She went into it with her eyes open. You forced my daughter to commit intellectual-property fraud. She stole design information from deception, a company her friends owned. She betrayed them. That’s not you calling in a favor. That’s called extortion! Potato, patahto.

[ Scoffs ] She got what she wanted. Only fair that I should get what I wanted. End of story. Yeah, sure, babe. Come on… ahh. Dinner was nice, right? It was so lovely of stella to take us out to celebrate. Well, you were promoted to co-chief of staff, so that’s definitely worth celebrating. Mm-hmm. Hopefully there will be more happy occasions to come. Yeah. Oh, you know one I can just see right now? Big party that we’re gonna have at the savoy, of course… for trina’s graduation. Whoa. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That’s still two years away. But time is gonna fly by. You know how things go. And you know what a planner I am. It’s never too early to start thinking about the details. We’ll have n’neka come up with a specialty drink. Something really cute, like, um — I don’t know — “the trina twist.”

[ Laughs ] And then we’ll have a dj, not a band, because you know trina’s gonna want to dance all night long. Yeah. And I won’t be able to dance with my daughter. I’ll just be watching from the sidelines, so… I guess I got to get used to that view. Brook lynn brought this on herself. Chase had an opportunity to get his job back, and brook lynn dragged her feet. What are you talking about? She was asked to write a testimonial about chase’s sterling character, but she kept putting it off. Why? Because she was so busy managing his fledgling music career. But, really, she just wanted him by her side. She acted out of pure selfishness! And that, she got from you! I know how difficult this must be for you. I don’t think you do. But I’m here for you. Please don’t shut me out, sweetheart. Portia, stop. I just…miss you. You know, I just miss us. I… I — I miss our closeness. I just can’T. Okay? I told you the other day that I can’t show you love the way I used to. Yes, and I told you that I would be there for you. And that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying. Look, I’m trying to show you that, yes, our love may look different than the way that it used to, but we can still connect with one another. We can connect physically. You’re not hearing me. Even if I could do…this… …I’m just not ready. You’re really gonna be the new “face of deception”? That is huge! Maybe we should be switching to champagne? Ah, don’t pop the cork yet. I haven’t even accepted the offer. I-I need to think about it. I don’t love the idea of giving up what’s left of my privacy, and I’m not sure I should split my focus. Well, you seem like a woman who’s capable of anything. I’m at a point where I finally have control of my career, and I refuse to be obligated to anyone ever again. Now, that is from the swim team awards banquet. Well, that sounds pretty formal. No, it wasn’t, actually. It was held in a gym. And they served corndogs and cupcakes.

[ Chuckles ] That sounds actually pretty perfect for me right now. Yeah. I wish I could have been there. I’m so proud of scout. “Outstanding swimmer.” Look at this. I just… man, I miss being at her meets and cheering her on from the bleachers. The bleachers? What are you talking about? You would be the one running up and down the side of the pool going, “go, scout! You can do it!” I probably embarrassed her a little bit, didn’t I? No. No. I don’t think so. She loves her daddy. But I was able to be there for her, and she knew that you were there in spirit. But she did say that she won this specifically for you. So I dropped her off at the q’s, and I wanted to bring it right over. Tell her thank you and tell her that she’s got to take really, really good care of it, keep it safe for me, for when I get out. ‘Cause what I’m gonna do is I’m just gonna hang it up on my wall in the office, and I’m gonna brag about her to everybody that comes through there. And tell her I love her. I will. Dex: Spinelli was able to get the license plate off the car mason was driving. Spinelli was involved in this, too? Yeah. He was a big help, actually. He tracked the car turning onto county road 21. Said there was nothing out there except cliffs overlooking the river. It’s a desolate area. It’s not where you want to be with a maniac like gatlin. I-I saw mason’s car on the side of the road, and just as I pulled up, he dragged ava out of the car and he was pulling her towards the cliff. She could have been killed. Then he, uh — he pulled a gun and started shooting. I was able to tackle him. We struggled. And he was about to push me off the cliff if dante hadn’t shown up. Oh, my god. You could have died tonight. Everything I do that’s for my health is an accomplishment., But did you always want to be on stage? Ahh. Absolutely. I dreamed of being a megastar. Fill up stadiums like beyoncé and make headlines every time a new song drops. Wow.

[ Chuckles ] It kind of seems like you’re on your way. But I still want to live my life and have privacy and be able to date who I want without it being a tabloid headline. But the more popular I get… the more impossible that becomes. Nina: I want to ask you something. Will you do me a favor? I already gave you what you wanted. I mean, what’s the problem? Yes, you did, but I’m really, really greedy when it comes to my husband. You want me to buy you a sailboat for the islands and call it

nina’s star? Well, I’m not opposed to that idea, but, no, no, no. It’s — it’s not anything material. I want you. You already have me, mrs. Corinthos. Oh. No. I mean, I want you. I want you to forget about all your problems and stresses that you have, and I want you to put all your — your issues and keep them in port charles, okay? Can you just be here in the moment with me while we’re on our honeymoon? Can you just…love me and nothing else? Yeah, that’s a promise I can keep. Uh-huh? Mm-hmm. Is dante still here? No, he had to get back to the station. He wanted me to remind you to bag your clothes. Someone’s gonna come collect them for dna evidence. Yeah, I-I left them in the guest room. He probably wanted to find out about mason’s status. Right? With any luck, his bullets killed him. I know you had a really rough time tonight. I’m sure seeing avery made you feel better. Yeah. She was asleep. Of course, I didn’t wake her. I just sat by her a-and looked at her beautiful face. You know, ava, she didn’t know that anything was going on. Thank you for that. You know… my biggest fear was that they would come after her, you know? And she’s all that I could think about when mason was holding me in that basement. Hey. We would do anything to keep her safe, alright? Sonny has posted more guards outside. The grounds are completely secure. I appreciate that. I really need to get back to the hospital to be with drew, but I don’t want to leave you. I’ll take care of her. It’s fine. Go. I love you. Josslyn: I love you, too. Ava, you are welcome to stay the night here. I think it would make avery really happy to wake up and see you. That’s so nice. Thank you. Of course. Um, I almost forgot, but I have something of yours that I found at wyndemere, and I think you’re gonna need it.

[ Monitor beeping ] Dr. Larson: Mr. Gatlin seems stable enough for surgery. Let’s get him prepped and ready for the O.R. Yes, doctor. You’re a lucky man, mr. Gatlin. X-rays show the bullets didn’t pierce the spine. Dr. Larson, you think I could have a minute with my cousin alone before he goes into surgery, please? No problem. Thank you. Gonna wish me luck, cuz? Where’s ava?

[ Scoffs ] I have no idea. Jordan: Detective! Don’t go into that room and stay away from the patient. I’m be ginning to think thatmaybe brook lynn has not been exactly forthcoming about her departure from deception. I wonder if she’s concerned about not living up to your high standards of honesty and integrity. I would never judge my daughter. Love makes you do crazy things, and brook lynn learned from her mistakes. But that still doesn’t excuse what you did. You used my daughter to get what you wanted. And for what? A cosmetics company? What did you want, tracy? Free night cream? You went after deception to satisfy your own greed. You couldn’t be more wrong. I got that company for brook lynn. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have tezspire can help you have fewer attacks and relieve your asthma symptoms. When you came to visit me at the hospital, I couldn’t handle it, I lashed out, I said the most awful things to you, and I never want to push you away like that again. This is not that. This — this is different. Yes, you pushed me away before. I-I was upset, but I understood. And I understand now. I’m trying. I know this is new. You know? This is — this is so raw. But you’re home… and we’re gonna have to find a way back to each other. But, honey, you’re gonna have to let me in. You’re gonna have to let me love you. But I can’t love you that way. Truth is… psychologically, I don’t know if I ever will be. Curtis, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t even know how you can say something like that. Look. I came on too strong tonight. I get it. A-and, you know, I’m sorry that I did that. No. You wanted to love your husband. You shouldn’t have to apologize for that. No, I think that it’s too soon. It’s too soon. And we just need to take things slowly. We’ll take things slowly, and then, you know, eventually — eventually we’ll get there. We’ll get there? When my wife knocks on my door for something I can’t give her… honey… it just makes me feel like less of a man. Sounds like that is a lot to navigate. I’m sorry.

[ Chuckles ] I’m finally getting everything I ever wanted, and now I’m whining about it. No. No. I do not think you are whining about it at all. No, to me, it just seems like you are a woman who is trying to figure out how much you want to sacrifice to reach your goals. You should be able to live your dream without having to give up your life. Well, I already know one upside to being in the public eye. Go on. Uh, we would have never met if you hadn’t recognized me. So that’s definitely an argument in favor of fame.

[ Chuckles ] Why do you care? I thought ava caused you nothing but trouble. Do you have her trapped somewhere else? Ava was with me when I got shot. So she got away safely? The last thing I remember was ava screaming when I got shot.

[ Door opens ] Surgeon’s ready. Let’s get you up to the O.R. Deanna, give him an iv bolus. Yes, doctor. What’s going on, jordan? You need to go home, detective.

[ Chuckles ] Why would I go home? This is my suspect. I need to question him. It’s my case. Not anymore. Wa– look, I don’t mean any disrespect, but — but you are not the commissioner anymore. You’re the deputy mayor. The police commissioner is the one who called me. Mac has been busy keeping the pautuck pd off his back. It seems they’re not too happy with you showing up in their jurisdiction and taking matters into your own hands. What do you want me to do? This guy kidnapped ava jerome! He was gonna kill her and dex heller. What was I supposed to do — show up and say, “hey. Sorry, guys. You’re on your own. Out of my jurisdiction”? Look, dante, I get it, but they are making a lot of noise. Hopefully this will blow over once the investigation exonerates you. Investigation?

[ Chuckles ] Come on, jordan. T-that is ridiculous. You shot a civilian. This is standard procedure. And you know it. So calm down. Until the investigation is over, you’re on administrative leave and you cannot be here. So go home. Your phone. I’m sure it’s dead by now. But there’s a charger on the desk. I wasn’t able to grab it before mason forced me out of the house. Thank you so much. And I don’t just mean for the phone. I’m very grateful to both of you. You, dex, if it weren’t for you, mason would have thrown me over that cliff. And I fought. I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn’t stop him. I know it’s hard to talk about, but did you ever overhear him talking to his boss? Did he mention who he was working for? No, we just drove out there, and he pulled over and he said that — he said that he was waiting for instructions. And then a couple of minutes later, his phone rang and — maybe his boss wasn’t happy with him? I don’t know. But — but mason got angry, and he started the engine. And I thought — I thought, “okay, well, this is it. He’s gonna bring me home. He’s gonna let me go.” What changed his mind? I have no idea. But all of a sudden, he just — he just snapped. And he shut the car off, and he grabbed me out of the back seat. A-and you know the rest. Josslyn: Looks like you need this. Oh. Thank you. Oh. Thank you both, really, for everything.

[ Line ringing ]

[ Cellphone rings ] I gotta — no!

[ Whimpers ] Ah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Carly. Everything okay? Uh, no. I’m really sorry to bother you on your honeymoon. What’s going on? That dirtbag, mason gatlin? Austin’s cousin? He kidnapped ava. What the hell? She’s fine. Dex and dante found her,

but she’s shaken. I had her spend the night at my house so she could be with avery. Is avery okay? Avery’s fine. She didn’t know about anything that was going on. But ava’s kidnapping isn’t the worst of it. What can be worse than that, carly? Cyrus renault. He’s out of prison. What are you talking about? I tried to buy deception legally. Lucy coe wouldn’t budge. So it became a challenge. And I had to resort to drastic measures to get the company. But now I am giving it to brook lynn lock, stock, and barrel.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, ho, ho. Yeah. So you… you’re the hero of this story. I mean, you’re doing all of this out of the goodness of your, what, non-existent heart? No. I don’t buy it. You don’t have an altruistic bone in your entire body. I don’t care whether you buy it or not. I’m her grandmother.

[ Scoffs ] And I am going to provide for her. Because I don’t want her to waste her life on music and then have nothing to show for it like you did! You don’t get to make those choices for her. She’ll thank me. If I hadn’t stepped in, lucy coe would have left her as a glorified assistant. She has a future at that company, and now she owns 51% of it. So all this is done because you get that warm, fuzzy feeling of helping others? Yes. Oh. And… I get my 1% of elq back from lucy coe.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, ho! That old story again?! Really?! You know what? You keep your 51% because brook lynn isn’t gonna want any part of it. We’ll see. I know how incredibly difficult this has to be for you. And not to get clinical here, but the doctors said that you should be able to function in that way. Baby, this is not about medicine. This is not about a diagnosis. Every doctor in the world can tell me that I can still have sex… but I know that I can’t make love. And there is a difference here. Just because I’m capable physically, it doesn’t mean that I’m ready psychologically. My body may be working in that way, but… my mind is nowhere near ready. Yeah, you’re not ready yet. You’re not ready. But you will be. Who knows? Well, i know. Curtis, I’m not gonna give up on you. This is the hardest thing that you have ever had to face in your entire life, and we’re gonna get through it together. I don’t know if you can help me get past this.

[ Sighs ] So much of who I am is tied to my physical ability. I’ve always been athletic. I’ve always pushed myself to run a little faster, to hit the bag a little harder, to add more weights to the bar. So just — just knowing that I would be struggling to love my beautiful wife the way she deserves to be loved? It’s humiliating. It’s infuriating. And it’s tearing me apart on the inside. Curtis, honey, I’m not gonna give up on you. I love you. And you’re right — I don’t know what this means for you. Even if we never get to a place where we share a bed in the same sense that we used to, honey, I’m not going anywhere. I love you. And you just take your time. And I’m gonna be there. Excuse me. Ms. Ashford? Hi. Um, I’m looking for some information. Mason gatlin is my cousin, and I’m very close with ava jerome, and I’m hoping that — could you — I mean, just tell me what happened tonight. Uh, I shouldn’t be giving you any information. This is an ongoing investigation, and we’re still trying to put the pieces together. Right. But… I’m asking. Please? Mr. Gatlin was charged with kidnapping ms. Jerome and two counts of attempted murder. He was shot by an officer while attempting to murder someone. But ava. Was — was ava hurt? From what I understand, ava was badly shaken but unharmed. Thank you. T-thank you. Excuse me.

[ Line ringing ] Come on, ava. Pick up.

[ Cellphone ringing ] You’re a real hero. Do you know that? I can’t take all the credit. Dante was the one who took down mason. Yeah, and you’re the one who actually stopped ava from going over a cliff. Which makes me wonder — how close did you come to going over yourself? Sorry. No. I’m sorry. I tried to stay up, but I fell asleep. I was so exhausted. Yeah. That’s okay. I kind of, uh, want to put this day behind me, as well. Did something happen? Uh, it’s kind of a long story, but… I’ve been placed on administrative leave. I shot someone tonight. And they might not make it. Son of a bitch! How could this happen? I don’t know, carly, but you know what? I’m gonna fly back home first thing in the morning. You know what? I got to go. I got to make some calls. Let me know what you find out. Yeah. Will do. What’s going on? Of course. It was him all along. Who?! Febreze!Hi. I keep my home f but I’m just not sure how long it’ll take me to get there… or if I get there. Do you remember when I told you that you didn’t know the kind of woman that you married? Well, this woman right here, she’s stubborn.

[ Both chuckle ] But she’s also very patient.

[ Sighs ] It’s a lot to put up with. I’m not “putting up” with anything, honey. I love you. And I know how hard it must have been to be that vulnerable with me. But you opening up, sharing your insecurities… babe, that made me feel just that much closer to you.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe i did come in here for some physical lovin’. But I think we shared something just as deep. Baby, you’re letting me in. And that’s a start. Babe. Wait.

[ Exhales sharply ] I love you, too. I know you do. I know. Dr. Gatlin-holt. Maybe you can help me. Can you think of any reason mason would abduct ava jerome?

[ Chuckles ] Are you kidding? No. I — no. My cousin has always been a wild card. I have no idea why he does the things that he does. And I could not speak to any of his motivations, ever. Excuse me. I have a patient I should probably check on. Good night, doctor. Dex: Mason was tough to take down. He could have killed you. I was fighting with everything I had. But at some point, while we were wrestling on the ground, I-I hit my head and I was dazed, so he had an advantage. He was relentless. I was losing ground a few feet from the edge of the cliff. If dante hadn’t shown up, mason would have pushed me over. Thank god for dante. No. Thank god for you. You’re the one who called from the police station after spinelli sent you my last known location. So the fact that I’m still alive… is totally on you. But why ava? What did he want with her? I don’t know. That’s what we’re trying to figure out. Is avery okay? Yeah, she’s fine. She wasn’t involved and doesn’t know what went down. Did you tell sonny? Carly’s doing that, which I’m relieved about because he’s not gonna be too happy. Ohh. You’re back. I’m back.

[ Groans ] But it’s so late. I know. I just wanted to watch you sleep. Yeah? I think you can do better than that. Careful. Yeah… -hey, everybody. -Dad. Hi! Hi, baby. How are you doing? Good. Mwah! This is my good friend blaze. Yeah. You’re the singer. You actually know my music? Uh, no. I can’t lie. But my grandson, rocco, he watches your videos, listens to your music. Dante mentioned that. I’m flattered. And I hear congratulations are in order. Kristina says that you just got married. Yeah. It was very fantastic. Intimate, family. Just like I like it. What can I get you? Something to drink? No, that’s alright. Something came up. What’s goin’ on? Is everything okay? Yeah. We’re gonna have to fly home first thing in the morning. I got, uh, some important business I got to take care of. I know my daughter, and she’s not gonna want to have anything to do with a company bought by lies and betrayal. I don’t know. She may surprise you. She does have quartermaine genes, after all. No. No. She’s not gonna give up her integrity over a company. News flash — she already has. Maybe she’s a little more like her grandmother than you care to admit. And guess what. You got to live with it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

[ Chanting softly ] Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

that he would have

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

I need you to check

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

Okay. If mason is

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

you’ve fooled him?

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

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

[ Laughs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Line ringing ] Come on, dante.

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

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

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

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

[ Ava screams ]

[ Grunting ]

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

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

[ Grunting ] No! Stop!

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

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

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

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

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

[ Button clicks ] I need to talk to ava.

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

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

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

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

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

Right?

Mommy and Daddy missed you so much, Amelia.

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

What do you mean?

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

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

Sam: I know. Hi, Carly.

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

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

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

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

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

Sam: I know. It was bad.

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

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

Carly: For me?

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

Carly: What do you mean?

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

Carly: Oh, that. [ Exhales sharply ]

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

Carly: No. I’m not.

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

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

Blaze: And all products are cruelty-free?

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

Blaze: Really?

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Knock on door ]

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

Sasha: Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] So…what do you say?

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

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

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

Lucy: Okay. I think that went well.

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

Lucy: How so?

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

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

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

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

Cody: But why are you leaving?

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

Cody: Where are you going?

Sasha: Austin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cody: I think I might know.

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

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

Lucy:I know!

Scott: Another way to what?

Hello there.

Hey.

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

Deception business.

[ Cellphone dings ]

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

Okay.

What is all that about?

Lucy: Sometimes the beauty business is anything but glamorous.

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

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

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

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

[ Laughter ]

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

Willow: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sonny: I do what I can.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Michael: Yeah. I know.

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

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

Willow: Sounds important.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lucy: Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Martin: Perfect timing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sam: But you have so much on your plate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sasha: Name one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sasha: Don’t say that.

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

Sasha: The police commissioner Mac Scorpio?

Cody: That’s the one.

Sasha: Maxie’s stepfather?

Cody: Same guy.

Sasha: How?

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

Sasha: Okay. But why not tell him now?

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

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

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

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

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

Maxie: Where’s Martin?

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

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

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

Maxie: Maybe not.

Lucy: Uh… and what’s the problem?

Maxie: Did you forget about Tracy?

Lucy: Ooh, if only I could.

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

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

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

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

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

Blaze: Fancy meeting you here.

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

Willow: Here you go, honey.

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

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

Wiley: What’s that?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Martin: About what?

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

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

Cody: I — [ Scoffs ]

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

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

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

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

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

Cody: Someplace else?

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

Nina: Ah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Michael: Is that so?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Willow: I’m happy to hear that.

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

Willow: I love our whole family.

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

Blaze: It’s me.

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

[ Chuckles ]

Carly: Hey.

Sam: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

Carly: Okay. See ya.

Cody: Okay. Well… when are you leaving?

Sasha: The movers will be here tomorrow morning.

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

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Hi! What’s up with the boxes?

Cody: Sasha’s leaving town.

Maxie: You’re leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: I’m moving to Austin.

Maxie: What’s in Texas?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Maxie: I just missed my friend.

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

Blaze: No.

Kristina: Okay.

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

Kristina: Aww. That’s sweet.

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

Kristina: Really?

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

Kristina: Yeah.

Blaze: I’m staying there.

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

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

Kristina: Here I am.

[ Both laugh ]

Blaze: It must be fate.

Kristina: It could be.

Nina: Look! A shooting star!

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

Nina: Hmm?

Sonny: You’re supposed to make a wish.

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

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

Nina: Happy wedding day, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Happy wedding day, Mrs. Corinthos.

Willow: Congratulations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Martin: What are you gonna do?

Michael: I appreciate you meeting with me.

[ Door closes ]

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

Recap written by Suzanne

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

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

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

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

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

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ]

[ Panting ] Hang on a second.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ “Bridal chorus” plays ]

Gracias por venir a todos.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Gasping, groaning ]

[ Panting ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Exhales sharply ]

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

[ Laughs ] Oh!

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

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

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

[ Laughter ] You’re supposed to kiss!

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

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

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

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

[ Chuckles ] Give me another hug.

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

Here you go I would love nothing more.

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

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

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Door slams ]

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

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

[ Laughter ] Sonny: Here we go. Yeah!

[ Cheering ] Yay.

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

[ Laughter ] Go ahead. Ahh!

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah!

[ Door buzzes ]

[ Laughs ] Here.

[ Chuckles ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

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.

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.

[ Laughs ]
