If you are so hell-bent on blaming someone, don\u2019t look at me. I wasn\u2019t there. Why don\u2019t you ask someone who was?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: What was supposed to be a private moment between Joss and me was filmed and made public.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You mean \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: There\u2019s a video of me and Cam from the cabin, and it just played in front of Professor Khan\u2019s class.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: O-oh, my god, Joss. I\u2019m so sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Are you, though?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: You\u2019re cold? Well, we can fix that. I can get you a blanket.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: You\u2019re Harmony, yes?<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Yeah, that\u2019s right. And you\u2019re Ryan\u2019s brother, Dr. Collins. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen you visit before.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: No, I limit contact with my brother whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: So what made you show up today?<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: Curiosity. I understand you\u2019re Ryan\u2019s primary caregiver. How would you assess his condition?<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Uh, it\u2019s unchanged. He remains locked in, but he communicates only by blinking.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: So I\u2019ve heard. Hello, Ryan.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Maxie: Hey, I hope you don\u2019t mind Bailey Louise crashing our ladies\u2019 lunch.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Hi! Of course I don&#8217;t. It\u2019s about time I officially met my niece.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Oh, by all means. Bailey Lou, this is your Auntie Britt. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I\u2019m your resident bad influence. Okay? I promise to send you home all sticky and keep all your secrets.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Speaking of secrets, can you forgive me for mine?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laura: I do think this is our best shot at finding out what Victor\u2019s real agenda is.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: I agree. Now we just have to iron out the logistical issues.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Victor is not gonna be easy to manipulate. Our execution has got to be flawless.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Which is why we shouldn\u2019t loop in any more people. Can we agree on that? The fewer people, the better?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Hey, I was in the neighborhood and thought I\u2019d stop by. Oh, you got company. Um\u2026 should I come back another time?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: This is a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I\u2019m only sorry Nikolas isn\u2019t here. I was, uh \u2014 I was hoping to share some tea with my nephew.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh, are we talking literal tea or juicy gossip?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Chuckles ] As fun as the latter would be, I\u2019m afraid Darjeeling is more what I had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, that can be arranged. Will I do since Nikolas isn\u2019t here?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, what I was hoping to discuss with my nephew I could happily relay to his charming wife. It\u2019s about Spencer. The, um \u2014 the poor boy\u2019s struggling, and I\u2019m afraid you and Nikolas are just making things worse.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kevin: So, tell me more about Ryan\u2019s communication skills. You say he can blink out complex messages?<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Yeah, well, it depends on the caregiver. Um, Ryan and I can communicate pretty effectively with the letter board, but it doesn\u2019t always go so well with the \u2014 with the other staff.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Samuel: May I help you?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Here to visit Spencer. You know who I am. My Uncle Victor hired you to look after Spencer. So why don\u2019t you go find him? I\u2019d like to see my son.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel: But does your son want to see you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Here we go. Maxie, there\u2019s nothing to forgive.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Yeah, but Bailey\u2019s your family. And I kept her hidden from you. Not that that was my intention. I mean, plan was for you to deliver her.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Yeah, but how could we have known Cyrus would try to kill me and I\u2019d end up on the run with Jason? I mean\u2026 things happened. I-it\u2019s okay. I understand. And you kept my beautiful niece safe. And now you\u2019re both here. I\u2019m so grateful and really proud of you.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Thank you. But I just hate that Peter got his hands on her at all.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I know, but it was ultimately your quick thinking that saved your daughter. And, Maxie, Peter\u2019s gone. We don\u2019t ever have to worry about him again.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Yeah, we don\u2019t have to worry about Peter. But he didn\u2019t take Bailey on his own. He was incarcerated. He was hospitalized. There\u2019s another person out there that is responsible for abducting Bailey, and they\u2019re free as a bird right now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laura: Dante, come on in.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Laura, Drew.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Uh\u2026 what am I walking in on?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Um\u2026a plot.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: A plot?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Sounds both illegal and dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: It\u2019s definitely risky, and the legality is kind of murky, so we\u2019re gonna call this \u201cunofficial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sam: But necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, it has to be if the mayor\u2019s involved.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Well, it could be considered a matter of public safety, but actually, the scope of this goes way beyond my interest as a mayor. I\u2019m here as mother, as a grandmother. And even though this plan gives me pause, I am committed to doing what must be done.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Sounds like you\u2019re considering bringing Dante in, Laura.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: We can trust him.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Yeah, I know. Would you like to join us? I mean, given your position, I understand if you don\u2019t want to help us, but I need your discretion either way.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, of course. Alright, I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: [ Chuckles ] Just like that?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, I trust you, you trust me. What are we doing?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Wow. Okay. Oh, dear, look at the time. Um, you know what? I am gonna let Drew and Sam fill you in on the details, because Kevin\u2019s waiting for me and I\u2019m already late. Um\u2026 don\u2019t anyone make a move without consulting me first, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Absolutely not. Yeah, we\u2019ll reach out as soon as the plan gets solidified.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Okay, great. Welcome aboard. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door opens ]<\/p>\n<p>Dante: The plan to do what?<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Stop Victor Cassadine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: I was visiting Spencer earlier today, and, uh, I\u2019m afraid he\u2019s devastated at not being able to visit his mother\u2019s grave on the anniversary of her death.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Is that somehow my fault?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, of course it is. It\u2019s entirely your fault. You pressed charges.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Spencer stalked and terrorized me and my child.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Not his finest hour, I agree. But then I\u2019ve always thought it best to keep family squabbles in-house.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, what\u2019s done is done. Can\u2019t change the past.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Agreed. But you can change your future plans.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Any plans in particular? Well, now that you mention it, I think it best if you and Nikolas rethink your vow renewal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kevin: My brother appears unresponsive.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Why don\u2019t you let me try? Ryan, do you need some eye drops? That\u2019s a no.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: So your eyes aren\u2019t dry. You just have nothing to say to me. Let\u2019s keep it that way. Harmony.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Thanks, Samuel. It\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I have to admit, I\u2019m surprised you\u2019re willing to see me. Last time I was here, you told me not to bother coming back.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You can thank my better angels for a change of heart. One angel in particular.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Does this angel have a name?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: What the hell are you trying to imply?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Just wondering, are you sorry for Joss and Cam, or are you apologizing for something more?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Like what?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Whoever recorded and e-mailed that video was in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And you\u2019ve got the nerve to be pointing your crooked finger at me?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Nobody\u2019s pointing fingers.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, I am, right in her face.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Once again, Joss, spence and I left that night. But, of course, Trina probably doesn\u2019t remember much from that night. You were pretty out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Okay, there\u2019s got to be an explanation to all this.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, there is. You guys were set up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Austin and my mom are convinced that Victor Cassadine\u2019s involved.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Yeah, but they can\u2019t prove it.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Yet. There\u2019s no way my mother\u2019s letting this go.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Anna and Robert aren\u2019t gonna drop it, either. But you know what? I\u2019m really tired of looking over my shoulder and jumping at shadows. I just want to relax and hang out with my kids, you know, spend time with my precious baby girl.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Aww. How are James and Georgie feeling about their little sister?<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Aww, a bright spot in all this. They\u2019re so in love.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: As are you. I can see it.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Well, you know, it\u2019s new. Anything\u2019s possible. But I\u2019m not gonna rush things.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I was referring to Bailey.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Oh. Right.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ] Who are you talking about?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laura: Thank you. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: Well, I hope your day was more productive than mine.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: [ Sighs ] Well, that remains to be seen. What happened at spring ridge?<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: Ryan refused to communicate with me. He blinks messages to be understood by the caregivers and the medical staff. In fact, I saw him interact with his primary caregiver, but he absolutely refused to acknowledge me.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: I\u2019m not sure. But it makes me uneasy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Uncle Victor urged me to be more receptive to your visits, despite any, uh, misgivings I might have.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: And you listened to him?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, why wouldn\u2019t I? He listens to me. Believe it or not, uncle Victor holds you in high esteem.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I\u2019m surprised. I wouldn\u2019t expect Victor to be my champion.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, here\u2019s something else that might surprise you. Uncle Victor has never said a word against you. He always insists that family is what matters most, which is why it\u2019s so surprising to me that you never seem to give him the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: My dealings with Victor are complicated, but I do agree with him on the importance of family. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here today, of all days.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: So you remember.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: It\u2019s been almost two decades since you lost your mother. It still seems like it was yesterday. I regret that you\u2019ve lost so much in your young life.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, I lost you\u2026 twice.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: You haven\u2019t lost me. I\u2019ve lost you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: Our vow renewal is none of your business.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Sighs ] And therein lies the problem. You and Nikolas want to live in your own private little bubble. And while that might be very romantic, I don\u2019t think either of you considered the effect it has on Spencer. It\u2019s driven him to these sad, desperate acts in an attempt to get his father\u2019s love and attention.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Spencer wants to break us up.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, of course he does. Why wouldn\u2019t he? He has to watch the two of you so deeply in love, it\u2019s to the exclusion of anyone else, including him. H-how do you think that makes him feel?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Spencer is a young man. He\u2019s not a child. And from what I\u2019ve seen, he should be less concerned with his father\u2019s love life and more concerned with his own.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: Only one person at that cabin was twisted enough to gift a teddy bear with Ryan chamberlain\u2019s voice to an innocent child.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Or torch Ava\u2019s car and leave her murdered daughter\u2019s hospital badge underneath it.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Those were terrible mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Mistakes? Because you have regrets? Or because you got caught?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And now everyone knows what kind of soulless person you really are.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I messed up. I don\u2019t know how many times I can apologize. Forever, I guess, but suggesting that I set up Joss and Cam? Nice deflection, Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. You have had trouble follow you since you first stepped foot into Port Charles. And now you expect us to believe that this disgusting stunt is somehow beneath you?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Hey, guys, let\u2019s just not do this right now.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I don\u2019t want to do this at all, Cam. And I\u2019m sorry if this is making things harder for you and Joss, but Esme\u2019s coming for me, and I\u2019ll be damned if I don\u2019t defend myself!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No. You\u2019re right. Trina\u2019s not to blame here. I\u2019m the one at fault.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Austin? You two are a thing? Officially?<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: We\u2019re officially trying it out.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Ooh! But I knew Austin liked you. I just figured after he pointed Victor in Bailey\u2019s direction, his chances with you had dropped to none and never.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Yeah, Austin majorly messed up, but he apologized. And if you take into consideration how supportive he\u2019s been and his quirky personality that just cracks me up, I don\u2019t know, I want to see where it goes. Slowly. Super slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Well, after what happened with Peter, I-I\u2019m very proud of you for not rushing into things so fast. Very pragmatic.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: My kids just got their mom back. I need to settle in and re-establish stability for them. And then there\u2019s Deception. We\u2019re coming up on the IPO. And I\u2019ve done, like, nothing to contribute. So \u201cofficially unofficial\u201d is all I can handle with Austin at the moment. What about you? Anyone new on the horizon?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Same as always. I mean, work keeps me busy.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Work always keeps you busy. What\u2019s really keeping you from seeing someone?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: You admit that you\u2019re behind this?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: In a manner of speaking. I pushed for the weekend getaway and described it as a couples\u2019 trip, which made Trina feel like an outsider. Then I asked those provocative questions during the drinking game. It was immature and petty, and I\u2019m sorry. Had I known it would push Trina over the edge\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, hell no! You haven\u2019t seen me go over the edge!<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: It\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: No! Not when she\u2019s talking all this trash about me!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I had no idea you had issues with anger, Trina. You always seem so poised. But if my psychology coursework has taught me anything, it\u2019s that sometimes the people who seem the most controlled have an undercurrent of behavioral dysfunction.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Who the hell are you calling dysfunctional, you conniving bitch?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: You know, we both have a lot to answer for. I say like father, like son. Seems accountability\u2019s something we both struggle with, but I\u2019m certain of one thing. You\u2019re the greatest gift of my life, Spencer. I planned to tell Courtney that today when I visited her grave.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You visited mom\u2019s grave?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: \u2018Cause I knew you couldn\u2019t and because I had some things I wanted to say to her.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Like what?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I wanted to apologize for failing you. You would\u2019ve been so much better off if your mother had lived. I wanted to ask for help.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What kind of help?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Help being a better father to you. I didn\u2019t get a chance to say any of it because sonny was there. And despite everything going on with his own life, he was quick to point out the mistakes that I\u2019ve made with you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, that sounds like Uncle Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I\u2019m not his biggest fan. But\u2026 he certainly cares about you. So do I.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I know, father. But what about Ava? Where does your wife fit into all of this?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: I\u2019m surprised you chose \u201cWuthering Heights.\u201d Although I guess it\u2019s not really a romance, if you read the novel. It\u2019s about the price of obsession, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: I am simply trying to promote family harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: By criticizing Nikolas and me?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Your desire to recommit yourselves to each other is lovely. No, actually, it\u2019s inspiring. But isn\u2019t a vow renewal also a chance to recommit yourselves to melding your families together? And how can you do that without including Spencer?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: What are you suggesting, that we call off the ceremony?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. But as I said, it\u2019s a family affair, and as such, well, surely you have to include the entire family.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I appreciate that sentiment. But Nikolas and I want a drama-free ceremony. It is, after all, still about us.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yeah, of course it is. But Nikolas and Spencer are in a very precarious position right now, and I\u2019m sure you wouldn\u2019t want to widen the gap between them. And I\u2019m afraid that a small, intimate ceremony would do just that. Now, if it\u2019s a matter of expense \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Ava: It is not.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, excellent. Then it\u2019s all settled.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Whatever gave you that impression? Please, Victor, do sit back down.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: So, you think Victor\u2019s after you.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: He tried to activate my conditioning a couple weeks ago on the pier. Didn\u2019t work because he had the wrong tarot card. But it all fits. Victor was helping Peter because Peter had promised him the means to control me.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: To what end? I mean, I know \u2014 I know you have combat experience, skills. A lot of ex-military do. Why is he going through the trouble for you?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Because he wants Drew\u2019s memories.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: The theory is, is that he\u2019s gonna activate my conditioning and then he\u2019s gonna order me to tell him something.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Something?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Yeah, probably from one of my classified ops when I was a seal. But it doesn\u2019t matter, because Andre Maddox said that those memories, they\u2019re gone. They cannot be accessed.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: But Victor doesn\u2019t know that. So we\u2019re gonna pick up where Peter left off and make Victor think that it\u2019s still possible.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: How?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: We\u2019re gonna supply Victor with a tarot card, make him think it\u2019s the one that Peter never handed over.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: He\u2019s gonna want to use it on him.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Exactly. I\u2019m gonna play along. Like, whether he asks me a question or he orders me to do something, it doesn\u2019t matter. We\u2019re gonna find out what his objective is.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You\u2019ll be putting yourself in a pretty vulnerable spot. You sure you want to do that?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Absolutely. I want Cassadine out of all of our lives for \u2014 for good.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: So how do we get him the card?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Uh, we\u2019re still working on that one.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Too bad you can\u2019t just put it in an envelope and slip it under his door, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah, th-that \u2014 that would be nice.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: But you got any better ideas\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Drew: In order for this to work, Victor\u2019s got to believe that he found the card himself. I-I-I just wonder if Peter knew why Victor wanted to activate my condition.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, that point is moot because Peter\u2019s dead.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Dante, you are a genius. I know how we\u2019re gonna get that tarot card to Victor.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: How?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Peter\u2019s gonna give it to him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: If I had any idea you were capable of hurting our friends this way, I wouldn\u2019t have provoked you that night, Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Are you psycho or just stupid? We\u2019re not friends, Esme. And I wouldn\u2019t spit on you if you were on fire.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m sorry you feel that way.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: You\u2019re not sorry. You\u2019re not sorry for any of it. You know what? You\u2019re actually probably enjoying yourself. And why not? It obviously took a hell of a lot of trouble to set it up.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: How dare you blame me for this? I\u2019m not the one who\u2019s responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Enough! Trina\u2019s right. You\u2019re toxic. Get out.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: But, Cam \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I said, get out!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Fine. I\u2019ll go. I just hope you both realize who your true friends are someday.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I swear, one more word, and I don\u2019t know what I would have done. Joss, are you gonna be okay?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I just need to pull myself together so that I can leave this room.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I just don\u2019t know who she thought she was fooling with that fake innocent act.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yeah, she\u2019s the absolute worst.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Joss.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: So, how do you think it happened? After she and Spencer left?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Uh, Cameras have timers.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Right. Did anyone see her near our room?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I-I don\u2019t know. I-I wasn\u2019t watching her. I didn\u2019t think I needed to.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And sadly, I was out of it most of that night.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: God, I wish this night had never happened.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Guess who you sound like.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Don\u2019t you even say it.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: My mother. Yes. It\u2019s a conspiracy. And during women\u2019s history month, no less. Or do you not care?<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Of course, I care. I\u2019m the mother of two daughters.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Well, then you should know how important it is for women to blaze their own trails, reach their own goals, follow their own passions. History isn\u2019t made by women who are desperate to be in a relationship. It\u2019s made by women who see the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: I am all for making history, for blazing trails, for following passions. I just happen to think love can be a part of that equation. When was the last time you went on a date?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I haven\u2019t had time, okay? I-I had to expose Cyrus.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: He\u2019s been in prison for months.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Then I had to go to Greece and rescue my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: She\u2019s home, in love with Scott.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: And then the whole Peter thing and \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Dead, defunct, departed. Next.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I work a lot, so unless I date a patient or another doctor, it\u2019s slim pickings.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Have you thought about a matchmaking service?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Oh! You are working with my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: We just want you to be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Is anyone ever really happy?<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: That\u2019s dark. That is very dark.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kevin: So how\u2019d your meeting go?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Well, um, we have a plan in the works. All we really need is confirmation of what we already suspect \u2014 that Victor had a hand in Luke&#8217;s death and also in the abduction of Maxie\u2019s baby. He also seems to have an interest in Drew.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: So do you think this plan could lead to Victor\u2019s arrest?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Probably not. He\u2019s got a real talent for evading justice, but to be honest, right now, I would settle just for getting him out of Port Charles, you know, get him away from Spencer and Nikolas.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: What about Ava? Is she on board?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: She is. We are putting together a small army. [ Chuckles ] All eyes on Victor. All we need is to come up with the right bait. And then we could trip him up for good.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: As you wish, Ava. I didn\u2019t mean to jump the gun.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Thank you. I appreciate your concerns, Victor, I do, and I take them to heart. But if you are expecting me to unilaterally make a decision about our ceremony, you are out of luck. Nikolas and I will decide what\u2019s best together.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Chuckles ] That\u2019s the tragedy of us Cassadines. We\u2019re either fiercely loyal or at each other\u2019s throats, and never the twain. And that plays right into our enemies\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, that\u2019s a bit grandiose, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, maybe, but I\u2019ve been a Cassadine a lot longer than you have, Ava. And there are always those who wish to thwart us, to undermine our power, feed off our disunity. Stavros, Mikkos, Helena \u2014 they all tried and failed to unify us as a family. But I am determined to change that. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve been cultivating a relationship with my son, Valentin, as well as working to end the rift between Nikolas and his son. That\u2019s why I\u2019m always there to help Nikolas in times of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he\u2019s going to do the Same with you.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Hmm. Well, he\u2019s already trying pretty damn hard.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: Good. Good. Let him. Get him to lower his guard so much with you that he might even confide in you.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: And if Victor says something incriminating, you\u2019d like me to pass that on to you?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I have big plans for this family, Ava. But I need your help.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: With what? What are these big plans?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: I guess if you go by pop culture, Heathcliff is the hero, but, you know, if you really dive into the book, he\u2019s vengeful and obsessive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: Ava knows I\u2019m here. She encouraged me to come. Despite what you\u2019ve done to her, she won\u2019t stand in the way of our relationship. Spencer, today was a painful reminder that you\u2019ve already lost one parent. Your other one is right here, hoping that you will give me the chance to make things right between us. What do you say, son? Can you find a way to put the past aside? Can we start fresh?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You didn\u2019t get to say what you wanted to my mother at her grave. But I think that she heard you now. And I feel that she would want me to say\u2026 \u2026yes.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Well, this is the best thing I\u2019ve seen all day. At least a close second.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Hi, Esme. I\u2019ll be back to visit you next week. Maybe when you\u2019re out, we can properly celebrate your birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Didn\u2019t mean to run him off.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You heard him. He\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m glad.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019m glad that you\u2019re back, too. It gives me a chance to make things right with you. Can you forgive me for being so thoughtless about the loss of your parents? I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: It\u2019s forgotten. I mean, I didn\u2019t have the best relationship with my adoptive parents. My grief was nothing in comparison to yours. I mean, you never even got the opportunity to know your mother.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019m so grateful that you understand. And I get that you\u2019re sensitive where Trina is concerned. I won\u2019t bring her up so much from now on.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, I\u2019m not sensitive when it comes to Trina. I\u2019m just onto her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Victor: My dear, the only plan that matters right now is your vow renewal.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: To be clear, I do know the value of family, and I consider myself a Cassadine just as much as a Jerome.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, I didn\u2019t mean to imply otherwise. And if opening our special ceremony to the family will mark a new start, then I\u2019m all in.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Ah, splendid.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: But only if my husband agrees.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Agrees to what, darling?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh!<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Uncle Victor.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Nikolas. Your lovely bride and i were having tea. Oh, please do join us. We were, uh \u2014 we were discussing the possibility of opening your vow renewal to the entire family.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I thought we decided on just the two of us.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Yes, well, we had. But your uncle has me wondering whether that\u2019s the right way to go. And wasn\u2019t I just saying earlier how important family is and how we ought to make an effort? Maybe we could start by inviting Spencer. I mean, he may not come, but we could at least extend the invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: I\u2019d be happy to do my part to bring the lad around.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Well, you do seem to have a lot of pull with my son.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Is that a problem?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: It worked in my favor today. Spencer and I are in a better place than we\u2019ve ever been.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yet I feel you\u2019re still uncomfortable with our relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I have no issue with you getting to know Spencer. What worries me is what he might discover about you. For instance, none of us initially knew that you were in league with Peter August. Are you hiding anything else?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Certainly. Oh, if you\u2019re concerned that I have an ulterior motive, I most certainly do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sam: Peter had personal effects, right? I mean, items that were with him at the time of his death \u2014 maybe a watch, wallet, keys?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, sure. Yeah, they would\u2019ve had all that collected off him. That\u2019s standard procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: And who would have that stuff now?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: WSB.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: As evidence?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Uh, maybe at first, and then they would have gone through it, and then passed it on to Peter\u2019s next of kin.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Bailey, by way of Maxie.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: And we have to make that known to Victor.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: So that Victor then goes for Peter\u2019s belongings, thinking that the card that he\u2019s looking for to control you is among them.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Sam, you\u2019re a genius.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: We have to get access to Peter\u2019s things and then plant the tarot card in there, and hopefully, Victor finds it. Do you know anyone that would be able to help us?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I might. I\u2019ll make a call.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kevin: Are you going to share your suspicions with Tracy?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: No, she\u2019s too much of a wild card. Anyway, Anna is going to Austria, so I\u2019m sure that she\u2019ll be able to uncover the truth about Luke&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: So you have full confidence in Anna? Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And yet you still want to go to Austria yourself.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: What do you mean, you\u2019re onto Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I mean every time I turn around, Trina is trying to get close to you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Baby, this is what I was trying to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I mean, don\u2019t you dare act like I\u2019m making this up. I\u2019ve seen the stolen glances, her holding your hand at Kelly&#8217;s. I know about your secret meeting at the gallery before you reported here, her gift on Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: It wasn\u2019t intended as a Valentine.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: The two of you have an intimate relationship. Share secrets.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: If we can both keep quiet about running into each other here, neither one of us have to get in trouble for it.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Trina and I are just friends.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Sure. Joss and Cam thought she was their friend until she recorded them having sex and sent the footage to the entire PCU student body.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What the hell? When did this happen?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Just this morning, and they were definitely not ready for prime time.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: That\u2019s insane. Poor Joss. I \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, \u201cpoor Joss\u201d accused me at first. Till it became clear that her so-called bestie was the culprit.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, Trina wouldn\u2019t do something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Spencer, the footage was taken at the cabin after we left.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What makes you think that it was Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: She was blackout drunk and in her feelings about being alone and unloved. It tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: The Trina I know \u2014 that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been saying! Maybe you don\u2019t know Trina as well as you think.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Cam, I don\u2019t mean I wish the whole night hadn\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I-I know what you meant.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: My mind\u2019s going a thousand miles a minute. I just \u2014 I don\u2019t understand how this happened. I-I feel like I\u2019m in a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I know. Hey, we\u2019ll get to the bottom of it. I promise.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: We need to go to the dean. A-at least it was contained in the internal student PCU website.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Thank goodness for that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What? Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Somebody sent me a link to an X-rated website.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, my god. Have we gone viral?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laura: You got me. I, um\u2026 I would like to go to Austria with anna if I could. I still \u2014 I feel a kind of a loyalty to Luke. I\u2019m sorry if that was hard to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: It\u2019s not. It\u2019s understandable. Of course, I\u2019m concerned that it might be dangerous, and I\u2019ll miss you, but I\u2019m not gonna stand in your way.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: That means the world to me.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: So will you be leaving right away?<\/p>\n<p>Laura: I\u2019m not leaving at all. I\u2019m needed here.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin: Well, I could have told you that.<\/p>\n<p>Laura: [ Chuckles ] Not just as the mayor. As your wife, as a mother, as a grandmother. We have a predator in Port Charles. I\u2019m not about to leave when it\u2019s circling the nest.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: You admit to having an ulterior motive?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yes. Happily. As I told Ava, I intend to unite this family. And if I can move the needle even a fraction toward a reconciliation between you and Spencer, then \u2014 then I\u2019m gratified.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: As am I. Thank you, uncle Victor.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: No, thank you, Nikolas, and Ava, for reconsidering your plans for a vow renewal. To our family celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Our family celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Family celebration.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: Thanks. I will. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: That didn\u2019t sound good.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Peter\u2019s belongings have already been delivered, and it\u2019s too late to recall the messenger.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Okay, well, I will reach out to Maxie and see what I can find.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: It\u2019s not Maxie. Peter has stipulated a different executor for his estate.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Delivery Person: Please sign and initial.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Who is this from?<\/p>\n<p>Delivery Person: Everything you need to know is inside the box.<\/p>\n<p>[ Bailey coos ]<\/p>\n<p>Britt: What is it, Bailey? [ Gasps ] Let\u2019s see. You ready?<\/p>\n<p>Maxie: Well, what is it?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: What\u2019s left of Peter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: It\u2019s the link. I am not clicking that.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What do we do?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Damage control. But first, we\u2019re getting the hell out of here. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Go, go. Do what you have to do. We\u2019ll talk later. Joss? I\u2019m here for you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Now I\u2019m glad we left that cabin early. Could have been the victims of Trina, the amateur pornographer.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel: Mr. Cassadine, it\u2019s time for routine room checks.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: These take a while.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll be here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: Well, that\u2019s it for today. I\u2019ll order you some nutrition before I finish my shift. You warm enough? Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Do you need something, Mr. Chamberlain? I can get an orderly. You seem distressed.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan: [ Raspy ] What the hell are you doing?<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style3\">On the next &#8220;General Hospital&#8221; &#8212;<\/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 Suzanne Proofread by Anita Esme: I don\u2019t know what\u2019s sadder, that you can\u2019t take responsibility for taping your revolting little spectacle and sending it out to the world\u2026 Cameron: We didn\u2019t even know it existed.
