You know I do. But could you please maybe be just a little less obtrusive, like maybe 10 feet back, perhaps?<\/p>\n<p>Paul: Sure, Mrs. Cassadine.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Jerome, okay? Ms. Jerome.<\/p>\n<p>Paul: Jerome.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Hey. How are you doing? [ Chuckles ] Thanks for meeting me.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh, no, it&#8217;s my absolute pleasure. Tell me, what&#8217;s going on in your life? How&#8217;s the new guy? Any developments?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Looking for a chair? I saved one for you.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: That line doesn&#8217;t work when I can sit anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Come on. You know you want to sit next to me.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Spencer? [ Gasps ] Oh!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Shawn: First dinner as a free man. My compliments to the chef and the lady who made it happen.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Oh, the chef and I thank you. Watching you eat that meal was truly a sight to behold.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Why? Because I barely stopped to breathe?<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I&#8217;m glad you convinced TJ and molly to continue their romantic evening instead of hanging out with us.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: It took some doing, but did you see the smile on TJ&#8217;s face when he saw you walk in here?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Well, he&#8217;ll get sick of me soon enough, since I&#8217;ll be staying with them at Alexis&#8217; house.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I don&#8217;t know, they both keep pretty busy schedules. I doubt you&#8217;ll see them much.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Still, I want to get up from out of there, find my own place, get a job, and get on with what I need to do.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: That being&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Jordan, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. I intend to find out who really shot Hayden.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Terry:\u00a0 Finally.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I&#8217;m so sorry. It&#8217;s just all this paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>Terry:\u00a0 It never ends, does it?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Terry:\u00a0 I just have to change, but I&#8217;m so excited that you&#8217;re coming out for a drink tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Me too. You know, I&#8217;m actually looking forward to a relaxing, uncomplicated evening. So, where do you want to go? Do you want to go to the Port Charles Grill or Metro Court?<\/p>\n<p>Terry:\u00a0 Oh, no. The only place to be is opening night at The Savoy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: Wow. How we doing?<\/p>\n<p>N&#8217;neka: The Savoy signature cocktail is a definite hit.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Well, hiring a mixologist was one of my smarter moves.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Curtis Ashford.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Uh, Brando.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Yeah. Nice to meet you. I&#8217;ve heard nothing but good things about you.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Well, thank you. And enjoy your time at The Savoy.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: I will, man. And congratulations. This place is great.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Thank you. I now leave you in the capable hands of my bartender, N&#8217;neka.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>N&#8217;neka: Hey. Try our signature Savoy?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Actually, house craft beer will be fine. And start a tab. This could be a long night.<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Oh, I second that. Um, another vodka orange soda, barkeep. [ Clears throat ] Mr. Corbin. Have you too come to drown your sorrows?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Ah. Allow me to speculate. An affair of the heart.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Indistinct conversations ]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Oh, oh, hey! Sorry! Sasha, I&#8217;m so sorry. One second. Uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Oh, hey. &#8220;Infant nutrition,&#8221; &#8220;what to eat while you&#8217;re breastfeeding&#8221;? I&#8217;m sensing a doctor&#8217;s appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Close &#8212; nutrition class. Got to start this little person off right. What about you? Board meeting?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Close &#8212; visiting my grandmother. Well, you know, you got things figured out since our last conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I&#8217;m trying. I intend to give my baby everything he or she needs.<\/p>\n<p>Michael:\u00a0You know, you don&#8217;t have to do it all on your own. I&#8217;m sure Brando would want to be there.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I&#8217;m sure he would. I&#8217;m just not so sure I want him to be.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Are you finished with class?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Yes. How about you? You almost ready to go?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Almost there.<\/p>\n<p>physical therapist: You put in some good work today. Soon you&#8217;ll be over there walking.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Well, why wait? Let&#8217;s do this.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: I know how important clearing your name is to you. I&#8217;m just concerned about how you intend to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Carefully. Look, Jordan, I pled guilty even though I knew I was innocent because I knew I had things to atone for. But attempting to kill Hayden Barnes was not one of them. And taking responsibility for something I did not do, I inadvertently covered up a would-be murderer, someone who really wanted Hayden dead &#8212; and damn near succeeded. That person should be brought to justice.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I know. But because you confessed and pled guilty, the D.A. suspended the investigation into Hayden&#8217;s shooting. Five years is long enough for a case to go cold. I mean, there is still a chance that the perp that made the attempt could be found.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I apologize for interrupting, but I need to know, has the PCPD made any progress per the search for Ava&#8217;s stalker?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: You know, I&#8217;ve been looking forward to the Metro Court zucchini sticks all day.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I love them, too. Let&#8217;s go there for dinner after. The Savoy is drinks only.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: We can get dinner and drinks there. You know, one-stop shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: It&#8217;s The Savoy&#8217;s opening night. I want to be where the action is.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Yeah, but that&#8217;s just it. It&#8217;s gonna be all crowded and noisy.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Who doesn&#8217;t love crowded and noisy?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Let&#8217;s just go another night. After all the hype and everything has gone down.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Okay, spill.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: What?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: What&#8217;s the real reason you don&#8217;t want to go?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: When did you get back? Wait, is this why you ghosted me months ago? You were planning a surprise?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I didn&#8217;t ghost you. I was busy with graduation. And then I took some time afterwards touring Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Britt: Wow. Listen to you sounding all continental.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Let&#8217;s sit. I want to hear all about the crazy things you did to celebrate graduation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: Oh, no, don&#8217;t tell me that &#8212; what&#8217;s his name again?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Victor.\u00a0 Please don&#8217;t tell me this Victor turned out to be some kind of creep.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Undecided.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: What did he do?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: He&#8217;s charming and fun, but he&#8217;s also totally unreliable. Plus, there&#8217;s some weirdness between him and his family, and I&#8217;m not sure what to do about it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: [ Grunts ]<\/p>\n<p>Willow: There you go.<\/p>\n<p>physical therapist: Now, I&#8217;m gonna let go of you. Let&#8217;s see if you can stand on your own.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Chase!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Does Nikolas realize you&#8217;re home? Or does he think you&#8217;re still wandering around Europe?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Father knows. I surprised him at Wyndemere.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: So, things are better between you?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Eh, define &#8220;better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Look, you had every right to be angry with him.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: But I should be over it by now?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: He let you believe he was dead for three years. You thought you were an orphan. Those aren&#8217;t things anyone just gets over. And if you said you did, I&#8217;d be worried about you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Then you don&#8217;t have to worry.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: But getting through anger is a process, Spencer. It is possible to come out the other side if you keep moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Do you speak from experience?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Yeah. I mean, I&#8217;m not always successful at letting go of my anger, but I understand it&#8217;s necessary and it&#8217;s a goal I&#8217;m working toward.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: And you think that I should do the same?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I think&#8230;if you don&#8217;t rebuild the relationship with your father, it will hurt him, no question. But it will also hurt you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I&#8217;m here, aren&#8217;t I? Supporting Father in his time of need.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Are you referring to the divorce from Ava? Because Nikolas has definitely been on edge, making wild accusations. Did he tell you about the stalker?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: This has been going on for a month now. The threats are escalating. Ava&#8217;s gallery was trashed. The stalker was able to leave a toy in Avery&#8217;s room. It is unacceptable that there&#8217;s been &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Shawn Butler?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Stella, whatever you have to say, just &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I&#8217;m okay, Jordan. Yes, ma&#8217;am, I&#8217;m Shawn Butler. And you&#8217;re Ms. Henry, Thomas&#8217; aunt. I can&#8217;t tell you how sorry &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I&#8217;m not interested in your contrition. But I do have a few things to say to the man who killed my nephew.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brando: Put it on my tab. It&#8217;s the least I can do after you helped rescue my mom and me from Renault.<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Well, it was a &#8212; thanks &#8212; it was my honor. [ Exhales sharply ] Gratified that someone appreciated my efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: You were taken hostage. I mean, Renault was gonna trade you for my mother. I&#8217;m thankful that we got out okay.<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Sorry. Physical safety is cause for relief. But, unfortunately, my &#8212; my heart became collateral damage. See, my partner, Ellie, became increasingly alarmed by my association with the Corinthos organization and the ensuing threat of &#8212; of danger and violence. And she wanted me to get out. And when I balked, she walked.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: She left you?<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Ellie realized that if she wanted to make a change, to build a new life, maybe have a future with someone else, that she had to start now. So she did. [ Chuckles ] She&#8217;s gone.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Sorry. That&#8217;s rough. Were you together long?<\/p>\n<p>Spinelli: Nine years. We were &#8212; we were &#8212; we were raising my daughter together, mostly in Oregon. We were a happy family unit. But when we relocated to Queens Point, I became more involved with my friends and their business. And, at one point, Ellie said, &#8220;can you be a friend and not participate in the ancillary activities?&#8221; But it&#8217;s just not possible. With my area of expertise, my area of expertise is so invaluable to my friends, but not only that, I&#8230; I savor the challenge. I like doing what I do and knowing that I&#8217;m good at it. Alas, it has cost me a relationship that I greatly treasured.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Did something happen between you and Brando?<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Brando is a great guy. I like him on almost every level.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Almost.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I think we want different things for our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay. I&#8217;m not sure I follow exactly, but sometimes guys take a beat to process and fully embrace what parenthood might mean for their lives, so that might be it.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: That is not it. Brando definitely wants to be involved. I&#8217;m the one who&#8217;s not sure how that&#8217;s gonna look.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Noted. Alright. I&#8217;m gonna take my two cents and just be on my way, then.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: No, you don&#8217;t have to leave. All I&#8217;m saying is that I am ready to do it alone if I have to. Be a single mom.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: At the &#8212; at the risk of wading back into deep water &#8212; here, have a seat. Look, being a parent isn&#8217;t always a picnic, let alone being a single parent. And I have all the confidence that you&#8217;ll manage. But I just &#8212; I want you to go into it with your eyes wide open. Okay? Also, I&#8217;m available for any, you know, new-parent freakouts you may have. I&#8217;m pretty sure I invented some of them, so I&#8217;m at your service.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Also, just so you know, I &#8212; I still consider you a good friend.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Thanks, Michael. Same goes for me. I am just as invested in your happiness as you are in mine. That includes talking about someone you can&#8217;t talk to anyone else about. Willow. If you ever need a sympathetic shoulder with no judgment, I&#8217;m here for you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: I want something more effective than hydration and stretches.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Hey, the fact that you&#8217;re here and working toward recovery at all, it&#8217;s a blessing, right? It&#8217;s just going to take some time.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: This isn&#8217;t what you signed up for.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I seem to remember a clause about sickness and in health.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Well, I don&#8217;t think that vow can apply when I can&#8217;t be your husband. Not really.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: That is not true.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Willow, you know what I mean. We can&#8217;t even share the same bed. I don&#8217;t want to wake you up when my legs are cramping. I know you need your rest because you&#8217;ve got school and you&#8217;ve got Wiley.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: And I&#8217;ve got you. Listen to me. I don&#8217;t care about sleeping in separate beds.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: But I do. This &#8212; this is not who I am. Okay? I am sick of our relationship revolving around my health. I just &#8212; I want to be your husband, not your patient. God, I want your love, not your pity.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I do love you, Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Then let me do what I have to do.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Chase, I understand your frustration.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: How can you? All I want is to live a normal life with the person that I love, and that seems impossible right now. [ Scoffs ] I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m sorry, Willow. I shouldn&#8217;t be railing at you. This is exactly what I didn&#8217;t want to happen. I don&#8217;t want to take my frustrations out on my wife.<\/p>\n<p>physical therapist: Ready for some stretching?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah. Hey, I&#8217;ll call you when I&#8217;m done, okay?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: So they decided to get a divorce, and I don&#8217;t even know if it&#8217;s gone through or anything, I have no idea, but it&#8217;s just too soon to be getting involved with anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Says who?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Everyone. Conventional wisdom, common sense.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Oh, and you want to live your life by conventional rules?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Terry, nobody wants to be on the other end of a rebound relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Right. Better to nip it in the bud, especially when there&#8217;s chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I mean, when things were good between us, they were really good. And, yes, that old chemistry is still there.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Sounds dreadful.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Okay, okay, fine. Yes, yes. I&#8217;m still attracted to the man, yes. If anything, even more so. I mean, Curtis back in the day, I mean, it was clear that he was just piecing his life back together. But Curtis now, I mean, he&#8217;s grounded and stable.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: And still sexy.<\/p>\n<p>Portia:\u00a0I certainly think so.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: And he&#8217;s definitely interested.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Uh-huh.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: And he told me where I could find him tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: So, what happens if you don&#8217;t go?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I don&#8217;t know. My fear is that I will lose him in my life as a friend.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: You make it sound like you&#8217;re gonna lose him no matter what. Stop me if I&#8217;m being intrusive, but I think you want a chance with the man, so what&#8217;s holding you back?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Shawn: Would you like to talk privately, Ms. Henry?<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I suppose that would be best.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I&#8217;ll be back.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: That is tense.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: And none of your business.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: The investigation into my stalker is definitely my business. Did the bootprint that your team found at the scene lead to anything?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Yes, we&#8217;re making progress.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Can you be more specific? I need details.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Why? So you can set another trap? Take matters into your own hands? I&#8217;m afraid not. That&#8217;s all you&#8217;re getting.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: But I have a right to know.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You do not have a right to interfere with an ongoing police investigation. Stay out of it, Nikolas. Leave it to the police. End of discussion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: I&#8217;ve heard all about Ava&#8217;s trials and tribulations. I just wish I could have been there to see her face when she saw that roach.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: You should have seen my face when Nikolas accused me of being the stalker.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You have to admit, though, some of the stunts are clever enough to be yours.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: They&#8217;re not stunts, Spencer. They&#8217;re malicious acts designed to cause fear. And they worked. Ava is terrified.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, it&#8217;s over. Now that Father and Ava are divorcing, the gifts have stopped, right?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Again, not really gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You know what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You&#8217;ve always understood me.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Likewise. Oh! It&#8217;s so good to see you. Can you hang for a bit?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, for a bit. I&#8217;ve been here practically all day.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Okay. Well, I&#8217;m gonna get a drink. Do you want one?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Gin and tonic.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Ha! One iced tea, coming up.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: In Europe, the drinking age is 18.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: This ain&#8217;t Europe.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Father?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I&#8217;m heading home. I&#8217;ll give you a ride if you want. Still at the pool?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yes. I just need to change. Why don&#8217;t you come have a drink at the pool while you wait for me?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sasha: Chase, I heard you were here. How&#8217;s it going?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: It&#8217;s going.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: You know, physical therapy takes time.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: That&#8217;s what they tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I would say my experience is with a different type of rehab, but if you ever want to talk&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Thanks, but I&#8217;m all talked out. If anything, I wish Willow would talk more.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: About what?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: What&#8217;s going on with her. I wish she would say more than the obligatory &#8220;keep it up&#8221; and &#8220;don&#8217;t lose hope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I&#8217;m sure she means every word.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah, but I feel like there&#8217;s something that she&#8217;s not telling me. Has Willow said anything to you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Willow. Hey. What&#8217;s wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: [ Sighs ] It&#8217;s nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: It&#8217;s definitely not nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: [ Sighs ] Chase is in physical therapy. He&#8217;s working hard, but he&#8217;s frustrated with his progress and&#8230; he&#8217;s lashing out.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: At you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stella: Thomas was my nephew. I lived with my sister the whole time he and Curtis were growing up. I helped raise him. We were very close.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: He always spoke very highly of you.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I don&#8217;t need you to tell me about Thomas. I knew him down to the soles of his feet.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: With all due respect, ma&#8217;am, what do you need from me? You want to unload on me? Fine. I&#8217;ll stand right here and take your verbal lashing. I owe you that at least. I know what I took from you.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: [ Scoffs ] Please. You can&#8217;t possibly understand what you took from me. What my family lost. Thomas was a good man and a good father. He should have lived to see his son grow up and become a doctor. What? You gonna tell me you&#8217;re TJ&#8217;s father now? Because a father is more than DNA.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Look, you&#8217;ll get no argument from me. TJ accepts that, and so do I. Thomas was TJ&#8217;s father, but so am I.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: So, besides the legal drinking age&#8230; [ Laughs ] Did you miss France? Did you leave someone special behind?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: France will always be there. What about you? Have you found someone who even slightly deserves you?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Chuckles ] You know, not many people would consider me a catch.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Au contraire. If you haven&#8217;t found someone worthy of you, then you&#8217;re not looking in the right places.\u00a0 Father! Hey. Look who&#8217;s here.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Hello, Britt.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Nikolas.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: I was married when I first met Curtis, and I didn&#8217;t tell him. Marcus and I were on the outs, and I had no business starting anything with anyone. [ Sighs ] And when I finally did tell Curtis, he just walked away. I&#8217;m sure he was just hurt and felt betrayed.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: So what are you saying? You really think Curtis is out for revenge?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: No. God, no, of course not. No, I&#8217;m just, um&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. I guess I&#8217;m just a little scared. You know, what if I open myself up to him and then he has a change of heart and he walks away again, you know? [ Clears throat ] I haven&#8217;t really let myself be vulnerable since.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Since Curtis.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I mean, I&#8217;ve dated and stuff, but&#8230; you know. [ Stammers ] I just had other priorities, you know? I got to make sure that Trina&#8217;s okay and my career. Right?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Fair enough. Fair enough. That was then and this is now. Trina&#8217;s on her way to college, and your career is well-established. Sounds like it&#8217;s been a long time since you&#8217;ve let yourself be happy with a man. And things with Curtis sound promising. But what do I know? I&#8217;m just an oncologist, not a psychologist.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Tell you what. I&#8217;m going. I&#8217;ll meet you at The Savoy in a few or at the Metro Court for dinner later. Your choice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: Alright, you having a good evening? My bartender, N&#8217;neka, taking care of you?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Yes, she is. Everything&#8217;s great. House beer &#8212; first rate.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Glad to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Can I ask you something?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Uh, yeah, sure.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Have you ever had a woman give you an ultimatum? Said, &#8220;do this or you can&#8217;t be in my life&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay, it sounds like your lady, and she must have a good reason.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Eh&#8230; Sasha thinks that&#8230; she doesn&#8217;t like certain aspects of my life. She thinks they&#8217;re dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Sasha. Oh, okay. Well, it sounds like she&#8217;s concerned that something might happen to you. Does she do this all the time? You know, ultimatums, giving orders?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: No, no, no. She&#8217;s great. I mean, we respect each other.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: So are you sure it was an ultimatum or was she just being honest with you about what she can and cannot live with?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Yeah. Yeah, okay. I hadn&#8217;t thought of it that way.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: And to answer your first question, I don&#8217;t recall a woman ever doing that to me, but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve done it. Sometimes you&#8217;ve got to say what you want, even if it means you might lose what you have.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sasha: Willow is a pretty honest person. What do you think she&#8217;s holding back?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: When Willow and I got married, we thought I only had a few hours to live. And now she&#8217;s stuck with an invalid husband.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: You&#8217;re recovering, Chase. And I say this with love, but you are an idiot if you think that Willow is anything but profoundly grateful that you survived.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yes, Willow is grateful and so am I. I know I&#8217;m lucky to be alive, but&#8230; I know Willow. And there&#8217;s something behind her eyes, something she&#8217;s holding back.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Chase is going through hell right now, but that does not give him the right to take his pain out on you.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: No, Chase is mostly taking his anger and frustration out on himself. I just feel so inadequate. All I can seem to offer are platitudes. &#8220;Be patient. You&#8217;ll get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Willow, Chase is strong. He will come back from this. And you&#8217;re gonna be a big reason why he will.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I pray you&#8217;re right. I&#8217;m being selfish. Chase is the one struggling to get his life back, and I&#8217;m sitting here feeling sorry for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hey. You have to stop beating yourself up. You are doing an incredible job supporting Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: No chance you&#8217;re biased? No, not at all. And I&#8217;m the one who truly knows what this is costing you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stella: You compare yourself to the man who was there for TJ until he died?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: No, you are. I know Thomas loved TJ, but I love him, too. I couldn&#8217;t be his father because up until recently, I didn&#8217;t know I was his father.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: And until recently, you were behind bars. Where you should have been a lot sooner for killing my nephew.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Thomas was my best friend.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: [ Scoffs ]<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: But he snapped. He threatened to kill me. I shot on self-defense. I&#8217;ll carry the pain and weight of that for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Oh, sure, sure. He was your best friend. But that didn&#8217;t stop you from sleeping with his wife. He snapped because of your betrayal.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: It wasn&#8217;t all on Shawn, Stella. We both know that.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: [ Sighs ] Jordan, you and I have made our peace, but don&#8217;t expect me to offer it to the man who ended my nephew&#8217;s life. He&#8217;s lucky to be out of prison. If it were up to me, he&#8217;d rot there.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You&#8217;re not being fair, Stella.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Just&#8230;let Ms. Henry say her piece.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I have nothing more to say to you. Just please stay out of my way.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I&#8217;ll do my best, ma&#8217;am. Jordan, thanks for dinner. Good night.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Are you all right?<\/p>\n<p>Stella: [ Exhales deeply ]<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You look shaky.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: It&#8217;s been a long time coming. But I confronted him. I did it. And I stand by everything I said.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Did it make you feel any better?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: So, what did Victor do that has you on the fence?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Basically, he lied to me.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I don&#8217;t like the sound of that.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well, it was more of a lie of omission, which is still technically a lie, but it didn&#8217;t directly affect me. So I guess I shouldn&#8217;t care.\u00a0 It&#8217;s still bothersome. I don&#8217;t know. Maybe I&#8217;m overthinking it.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: And maybe you&#8217;re making excuses for him, giving him a little wiggle room. Sounds to me like you like this guy.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Yeah. He&#8217;s interesting. Not like a lot of the guys around here.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh. So are you gonna go out with him?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, we&#8217;re not dating. We&#8217;re just hanging out as friends.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh. Oh. Friends.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: I thought you were gonna change.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I was, and then Britt and I got to talking. I&#8217;ll go right now. I, um&#8230; my clothes should be back from housekeeping. Please, Father, help yourself to my iced tea.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Uh, Spencer. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I&#8217;m sorry, Britt, for accusing you of being the stalker. I was at the end of my rope.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I was sorry to hear that you and Ava are getting a divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: It&#8217;s not over yet. I&#8217;m surprised that Spencer is trying to matchmake. He and I have been cool toward each other since he&#8217;s been home.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: But he is home in your hour of need. That&#8217;s something.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: It is. I&#8217;m so glad to have him back. I mean, at least one thing is going right in my life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brando: Thank you for your advice.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Look, man, you know what, sometimes I just like to hear myself talk.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Yeah, well, you said exactly what I needed to hear. Did I tell you I&#8217;m gonna be a father?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Ohh. [ Laughs ] Well, now I understand the ultimatum, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Yeah, yeah. I&#8217;ve been an idiot. I mean, there&#8217;s no choice to be made. How can I walk away from someone as wonderful as Sasha?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Well, congratulations. I&#8217;m really happy for you.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Keep that away, all right? This one&#8217;s on me. Consider it an early baby shower present. And good luck to you, brother.<\/p>\n<p>Brando: Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sasha: I think that you are holding Willow to a higher standard than your own.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: What?<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Do you share all your doubts and moments of weakness with Willow? You might think that Willow is perfect, but she&#8217;s not. She&#8217;s human, Chase, and she&#8217;s scared and worried and just trying to figure things out as she goes.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I get it. I do. But she doesn&#8217;t have to hold it all in.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: Like you do? Loving someone doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to share every single thought with the other person, especially when you&#8217;re trying to protect the other person. And you&#8217;re both doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: And I&#8217;m not protecting her by snapping at her, which is exactly what I did today.<\/p>\n<p>Sasha: I think that Willow understands how frustrating this is for you, and I know that she&#8217;s committed to helping you through your recovery. You don&#8217;t need to doubt her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: You&#8217;ve put your entire life on hold to literally help Chase get back on his feet. And I see you burning the candle at both ends while still managing to keep a smile on your face. I just &#8212; [ Sighs ] I don&#8217;t know, I wish there was something that I could do to help.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Michael, I know I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m putting more than my life on hold. I&#8217;m putting us on hold. Our family, our future. And that&#8217;s not fair, either. How long can I ask you to keep waiting for me?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: It sounds to me like you&#8217;re willing to overlook Victor&#8217;s lie of omission.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I want to.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well&#8230; then do it. Take a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You still believe that? Even after the way things ended with you and Nikolas?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Yes. I believe in living life, you know? Not just watching from the sidelines. Get out there and enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Yes, ma&#8217;am.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: And be careful. And if this Victor crosses the line, he&#8217;s gonna have to answer to me.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Get in line behind my dad.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: [ Laughs ] Yeah, right. And your mom. You have quite a lineup of protectors. Really, overall, Trina, trust your instincts. This Victor, he sounds &#8212; sounds like he might be a bad boy. They are exciting. But they can be trouble, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Where&#8217;s Father?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: He had to make a call. Not cool, Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Huh?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: &#8220;Huh?&#8221; Nikolas and I are over. He loves Ava. And I don&#8217;t have time for distractions.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Things change. It&#8217;s only a matter of time before Father puts Ava and his farce of a marriage behind him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Shawn: I heard you were still in the game. How about we work together?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stella: I admit, lashing out to that man didn&#8217;t &#8212; didn&#8217;t ease the pain of losing Thomas, but I needed to do it. [ Scoffs ] You know I speak my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: All too well.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Go on. Say it.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Stella, what were you thinking? Telling Portia to back off Curtis?<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I was thinking you and Curtis need more time to work out your differences and remember how much you love each other. Jordan, I gave you the opportunity to fight for your man. Why didn&#8217;t you take it?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Hey, you never have to ask. I&#8217;ll wait forever if I have to. But you&#8217;re my future, Willow. So take that worry off your plate, okay? I&#8217;m not going anywhere. As much as I want to hold you and make love to you, I&#8217;ll go on being your friend and co-parent as long as it takes.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Michael, I love you. So much my heart hurts. I want you, too. And I&#8217;m so sorry. I wish things were different.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I understand your commitment to staying with Chase. So we wait. As long as Chase needs you.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: [ Grunting ] Come on. You can do this. Do it for Willow. There we go. All right.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>On the next &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Brando (to Sasha): Sometimes you have to make choices. I&#8217;ve made mine.<\/p>\n<p>Finn (to Elizabeth):\u00a0 Monsters never really die. They haunt you forever.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn (to Valentin): And you&#8217;re sure that&#8217;s all you are? A team?<\/p>\n<p>Sam (to Olivia): Dante told you about that?<\/p>\n<p>Anna (to Dante): We need to keep that information confidential.<\/p>\n<p>Stella (to Jordan): Do you want this marriage to be over?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis (to Portia): Your timing couldn&#8217;t have been any better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/18\/general-hospital-transcripts\/\">Back to the GH Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6113\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ghanim.gif\" alt=\"GH cast animated GIF\" width=\"136\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Hospital Transcript Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne Ava: Paul, I appreciate the protection.
