You\u2019re back.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah. Looks that way.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Well, did you collect your award yet?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: What award is that?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: The world\u2019s fastest getaway.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Joss, how are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: How should I be doing after someone humiliated me and Cam with that video?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: It\u2019s so awful. You\u2019re really brave being out in public like this. Ugh. I don&#8217;t know if I could do it.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh. No?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Now, if you\u2019ll excuse me\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I don&#8217;t think so. Sit down.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I have plans.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Really? Whose life are you planning on ruining now?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: Happy birthday, jailbird.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: My birthday was days ago.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I know it\u2019s late and slightly disfigured\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I can\u2019t accept it.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, I-it\u2019s not as good-looking as it\u2019s supposed to be, but trust me \u2014 it\u2019s really, really yummy. Aiden\u2019s been working on it, and there\u2019s \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019m sure it\u2019s delicious, but you can take your peace offering and go straight to hell.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brad: You ready for some bubbles and trouble?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Ooh, champagne brunch on my day off? Hell yeah!<\/p>\n<p>Brad: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Uh, but given the classy establishment, how much trouble do you really think we can get into?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: Is that a challenge?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: We\u2019re not open.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: I was hoping you\u2019d make an exception in my case.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Ms. Wu.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: You know who I am.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Well, we know some of the same people.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Indeed. And I trust we can be of help to each other.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: What getaway? I told you I was going to Brooklyn to visit my mom.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I know. It\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s just\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Just what?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: It\u2019s nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Okay. So what\u2019s with the box?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Oh, funny you should ask. You know, what kind of ingrate leaves all the moving to their roommate? No, seriously, I almost slipped a disc moving your deception cosmetics trunk.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Okay. Michael told me he helped you.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Oh, Michael made things easier, but\u2026it wasn\u2019t as fun.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I\u2019m so sorry I skipped out on you. Look. Can I just say I\u2026I\u2026 it wasn\u2019t about you.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Really? Because you took off right after I kissed you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: Ms. Wu, I\u2019m a little busy at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Preparing for the night ahead?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Yeah. Some administrative work. And, uh, my staff will come in later to handle the prep.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Your head bartender, N&#8217;Neka, usually arrives 15 to 20 minutes early, which is a good 15 to 20 minutes from now.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: So you\u2019ve been watching.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: An establishment such as yours merits attention.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay, well, uh\u2026 you\u2019re more than welcome to come back after we\u2019ve opened.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Am I? I\u2019ve heard The Savoy\u2019s rather exclusive when it comes to welcoming certain businesspeople.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Ms. Wu, my nightclub is a place of leisure, so it\u2019s my hope that people leave their business at the door regardless of what their profession is.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: You have very diplomatic. Judicious. And that\u2019s what makes you perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Perfect for what?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: To partner with me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: What\u2019s with the hostility? I\u2019m sorry I haven\u2019t come to see you sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You\u2019re on my list for that, too. But right now, I\u2019m pissed at you for what you did to Josslyn. What were you thinking, filming her?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: No. No way. You can\u2019t possibly believe that I had anything to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Process of elimination. Trina passed out. Esme and I were already gone. The only person left who could have made that video is you.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: No. You are insane. You think that I secretly filmed Joss and I having sex and then e-mailed it to everyone at PCU? You think I\u2019m twisted enough to do that?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No, I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I think that you\u2019re a jerk who wanted a memento of his first time but was too reckless to protect the footage.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Oh, go to hell, Spencer. You don&#8217;t think I know what you\u2019re doing? It\u2019s not gonna work. You can\u2019t drag me down with you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: I haven\u2019t ruined anyone\u2019s life, but\u2026 \u2026I do feel guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Really? What for?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m not sure what Josslyn\u2019s told you, but I-I certainly couldn\u2019t blame you. I only wish that I had the closeness that you and your mom share.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Can you just spit it out, Esme?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: At the cabin, I brought up some things that were very painful for Trina, and I truly regret that. But how could I have ever imagined that she would lash out by betraying her best friend?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You\u2019re seriously gonna try and pin this video incident on Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Well, there\u2019s no other explanation.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, there is, and she\u2019s standing right in front of me. When I was your age, I was angry at the world and I thought I was owed. And that\u2019s how I know \u2014 hurt people hurt people. You need to get some help. And soon. Because if you don&#8217;t, the mothers of the people you hurt, they\u2019re not gonna keep it so civil.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Mrs. Corinthos \u2014 it is still Corinthos, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Scoffs ]<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m not sure what Josslyn told you, but I certainly can\u2019t blame her, given how confused she must be. I mean, I can\u2019t even imagine the epic humiliation you must be feeling. But it\u2019s not my fault you were pris en flagrant d\u00e9lit.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, I\u2019m sorry. Is that French for \u201cset up by a complete psycho\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You did this, and you need to own it.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: But I didn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And if you don&#8217;t own it, I\u2019m gonna find proof. I know that you think you\u2019ve covered your tracks, but I have resources you\u2019ve never even dreamed of. And when I have that proof, I will make you very, very sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I understand you\u2019re going through a difficult time right now, but your anger is misplaced. I mean\u2026 unless you think that I\u2019m also responsible for the infidelity that destroyed your marriage. I wouldn\u2019t worry. Your bed won\u2019t be cold for long, Mrs. Corinthos. Like mother, like daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You are missing with the wrong people! You hear me?!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Aah! [Sobbing] Ow! You\u2019re hurting me!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, you haven\u2019t seen hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Carly!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What?!<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Let her go!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Esme is fine.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: [Sobbing] My arm!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, knock it off! This is none of your business, Nickolas.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Well, it\u2019s my business or police business. Up to you.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, please call the police. I would love for you to call the police. Don&#8217;t you think we should call the police?<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Hey, whatever you think Esme is up to, it doesn\u2019t justify assaulting her!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Assault?!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I didn\u2019t do anything, I swear. Josslyn has it all wrong. You really hurt me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Geez. Let\u2019s get that arm checked out.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, please, get her out of here.<\/p>\n<p>[ Esme sobbing ]<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, my god. Okay, look. She\u2019s not gonna be able to hide behind Nickolas forever.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I can\u2019t hide behind you forever. I need to fight my own battles.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nikolas: I may not be perfect, but at least I never made a sex tape and let it go viral.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No, you just got your girlfriend to blow up a car because you didn\u2019t like daddy\u2019s new wife.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: You made your point.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You may not be perfect either, but at least you\u2019re not as big a screw-up as me? Thanks for stopping by, man.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: You know what I think? I think you love it when other people\u2019s screw-ups make yours look not as bad, or at least when they can distract from them.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Wow. Intro to psych is really paying off for you, huh? But see, unlike you, I owned up to what I was accused of.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Because you were caught! I didn\u2019t film anything. I am not responsible for this sex tape. You want to believe that I am because you don&#8217;t like the alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Which is? If I didn\u2019t set up the camera and leak it, there\u2019s only two other people that could have \u2014 the girl you\u2019re crushing on or your girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah, the timing was questionable, but it wasn\u2019t personal.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Are you sure? Okay, how would you feel if I was the one who vanished without so much as a \u201csmell ya later\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Smell ya later?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah. It\u2019s what the kids are saying.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: The kids who said that are on their second divorces.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Okay, the point is, as soon as we got close, you literally went out of your way to put as much distance between us as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: We had just given Bailey back to Maxie. I thought I was prepared, but\u2026 I was a mess. And none of it was real anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Wha\u2013 none of it?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: We were playing house, Chase. We were pretending. We got really good at it. So we were confused, right?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Right. Confused. So that\u2019s why you left me holding the bag. Correction \u2014 boxes. So many boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I had a million things running through my head, okay? And being in Port Charles without bailey was\u2026 [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Must have been unbearable.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah, it was.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah, I know the feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I\u2019m so sorry. I know you do. I\u2019m sorry I left you alone to work through all those feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Look, I am not trying to \u2014 to guilt you or to compare my time with bailey to the months that you were her mother, because that is what you were to her, pretending or not. It\u2019s just\u2026 I-I miss my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Right. [ Clears throat ] But once Peter was killed, look, our job was finished. There was no reason for me to stick around. Was there?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I guess we\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brad: Thank God he\u2019s dead and all of this is over. Now you, Maxie, Bailey are \u2014 you\u2019re all free.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Are we? I mean, yes, Peter is finally gone, but we all have to live with the damage he left in his wake.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: Peter really put you through it, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Maxie said something about letting go of the past to embrace the future. Do you think that can work?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: I have to. Because the alternative is being trapped by my mistakes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brad: Mr. Ashford, what would you say to a joint business venture, one that can benefit us both?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I would say thank you for thinking of me, but my plate is full.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Without hearing the details? That would be premature.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Ms. Wu, no disrespect to you, but The Savoy is a legitimate business, and all my dealings are above-board.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: What I\u2019m proposing is legal and profitable.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: No offense, but, uh, I don&#8217;t need money.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: If you were to allow me the use of The Savoy twice a month, it could pay off in ways beyond monetary gain.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Use of my club. For what?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: A private social event.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: That\u2019s low, Cam, accusing Tina.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I\u2019m not accusing Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Or Esme. Insinuating that I feel something\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: [ Scoffs ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: \u2026Other than friendship for Trina\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Please! Anyone with ears and eyes can tell you your feelings for Trina is what set this whole thing in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: How do you figure?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: You made your girlfriend feel so threatened and so jealous that she had to take it out on your friends in the most humiliating way she knew how to.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: How do you explain that Esme and I were miles away from the cabin when that footage was taken?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Have you heard of a little thing called technology? When you plug in a video camera or a phone and press record, it will keep recording even after you leave a room or a cabin. Take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: It\u2019s a nice theory, Cameron, but it\u2019s not proof.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron:\u00a0 You know what else is a nice theory? You want it to be me. Because if it isn\u2019t me, then it\u2019s Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Mm-hmm. How do I know that you\u2019re not just trying to make Esme look bad?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Oh, like she needs my help looking bad? She\u2019s your girlfriend! You know what she\u2019s capable of! Look. Spencer. I swear on the memory of Franco, on my brothers, everything I care about, including Josslyn\u2026 I did not do this.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Okay. You made your point.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Why would I? That footage being out there, it\u2019s humiliating. But it\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s not just my pride that this cost me. This could cost me Josslyn.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: I\u2019m sorry that I overdid it. Alright? But, oh, God, when Esme started running her mouth, I just \u2014 I couldn\u2019t take it. And I barely touched her.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, that\u2019s not really the point.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No. It wasn\u2019t my place. You\u2019re an adult now. I\u2019m still getting used to that. But, man, she pissed me off.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yeah. Tell me about it. She\u2019s the worst.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I\u2019m sorry if I embarrassed you.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: You know, after everything that\u2019s happened, I think I\u2019m pretty much immune to embarrassment. I just hope that Esme doesn\u2019t try to blame you for something.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Nickolas: Esme, uh, the PA said she\u2019s done examining you. Okay to come in?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: It\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door opens ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Telephone ringing, indistinct conversations in distance ]<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Still aches. I\u2019m getting a prescription for pain.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Will you need an x-ray?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I thought Carly might have sprained my arm, but by some miracle it\u2019s just bruised.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: No wonder you\u2019re in pain. Carly should know better than to handle you like that.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Actually, I sort of admire her. Josslyn\u2019s lucky to have a mom who defends her, even though they\u2019ve got it all wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Have what all wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Haven\u2019t you heard? I\u2019m the resident scapegoat in Port Charles.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Well, it\u2019s not as though you haven\u2019t done a few deeply regrettable things.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I take full responsibility for all of my mistakes, which is why this hurts so much. I mean, even after Spence confessed, his friends still accuse me of pulling the strings. Like Spence was a puppet instead of his own man.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: We all know that\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: When I apologize, they tell me I\u2019m\u2026insincere. When I try to make peace, I\u2019m being manipulative. And now they\u2019re accusing me of leaking Joss\u2019 little sex tape. They\u2019re convinced all the trouble between Josslyn, Cameron, and Trina over the last few months is because of me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: And are they right?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: What kind of private event?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: High-stakes poker.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Absolutely not. Ms. Wu, there is no way I\u2019m gonna allow illegal gambling in my nightclub.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: It wouldn\u2019t be illegal, nor would it be just any Friday-night card game. We\u2019re talking exclusive no-limits hold\u2019em where reputable players are vetted to ensure they meet the minimum bankroll and a buy-in of no less than $20,000.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Why my place?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Why not? It\u2019s chic and popular.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I\u2019m quite sure The Savoy is not the only nightclub in town with a back room.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Well, those other places don&#8217;t have you, Mr. Ashford. You\u2019re a well-respected man known for your integrity and with ties to the police commissioner.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Oh. I see. So you want to exploit my relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Not exploit. Capitalize. I would never ask you to persuade your ex-wife to look the other way. It \u2014 be no reason to. But your standards and boundaries will put the players at ease.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: So what\u2019s in it for me besides the money?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Well, since financial gain is not a motivating factor with you, perhaps this will be \u2014 the players are from a myriad of backgrounds, from the music industry to real estate and tech. I have many connections.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I\u2019m quite aware of your \u201cconnections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Selina: If you\u2019re concerned about these unsavory characters occupying your establishment, you needn\u2019t worry. The players are legitimate businessmen like yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: And you?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: I won\u2019t be present. I\u2019ve delegated family to manage the games.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Family? Would that be \u201cfamily\u201d with a capital \u201cf\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: [ Chuckles ] An actual relation of mine. The person I have in mind is as far from a boss as you can imagine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brad: Ahh.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Bradley\u2026 has anyone been giving you trouble since you\u2019ve been out?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: [ Scoffs ] With you as my BFF\/bodyguard, who would dare?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ] Well, I can think of at least one person \u2014 Aunt Selina. She has not been shy about her displeasure with our friendship.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: So? I am a grown-ass man, and she&#8217;s\u2026 still out of town.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: You know what? Why don&#8217;t we go somewhere more casual, low-key?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: Oh. What did you have in mind? Someplace with peanut shells on the floor?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Chuckles ] At least at some dive we don&#8217;t have to worry about one of Aunt Selina\u2019s minions spotting you and reporting back.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: Good point. No. Screw it. We\u2019ll be careful\u2026 next time. Okay? Today we risk it all. Because today\u2026 we are celebrating.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Oh! Great! What are we celebrating? What obscure pagan holiday have you found to justify our inebriation this time?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: We are celebrating\u2026 \u2026my new job!<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: Well, at least you\u2019re consistent.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: What did I mess up now?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Oh, it was this time last year that you returned to Port Charles with that fake baby bump.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: [ Exhales sharply ] Really? I didn\u2019t even realize. How did you know?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Right.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: So what is it about this time of year that makes you want to leave or brings you back?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: You.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Me?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: You, like, everybody. The collective. Like, my dad and Maxie and Leo. It was really nice visiting Brooklyn, but Port Charles is where I belong.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I\u2019m glad.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I\u2019m glad you\u2019re glad.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Oh, uh, speaking of where things belong\u2026 you left a few things at the house, and Violet spent the night the other night and found\u2026 this.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: What are you doing with that? That\u2019s private.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Tell me you did not read this.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Uh, Violet was flipping through it, so I checked it out a little bit, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I don&#8217;t show my songbook to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Okay. Um, it\u2019s not like it\u2019s a diary. It\u2019s \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: It\u2019s the closest thing I have to one. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Okay. I-I\u2019m sorry. I-I didn\u2019t mean to invade your privacy. How long have you been writing songs?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Doesn\u2019t matter. It\u2019s not like they\u2019re any good.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yes, they are.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: They\u2019re very good.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: You don&#8217;t have to say that.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: No, I-I know I don&#8217;t have to, but here I am saying it. Look, and I might not know much about songwriting\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Clearly.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: \u2026But I do know good lyrics and a good melody. I actually\u2026 sang one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: You sang one of my songs? That was meant for someone el\u2013 [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: They were meant for you to sing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: So, you ready for some blueberry pancakes?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: [Voice breaking] I\u2019m sorry. I lost my appetite. I have to go.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Come here. Come here. That video\u2026 it was meant to hurt you and throw you off balance. It was meant to torture you.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, for now. And right now you get to feel your feelings. You get to scream and cry as loud as you want and let it move through your system.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, assuming that happens, when will all of this pain and this humiliation go away?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Great. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Hey. When\u2019s the last time you talked to Cam?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: That\u2019s not like him to be M.I.A. You guys need to be a united front right now.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: No, it\u2019s not his fault. I turned my phone off. I\u2026needed time.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I get that. What about Trina? I mean, Esme\u2019s trying to pin this whole video thing on her. You need to rally around her, too. You know that. Baby, eventually, none of this is gonna matter. People won\u2019t remember. And hiding and running isn\u2019t gonna make that happen any faster.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: Joss says she knows I wouldn\u2019t do this, but\u2026 there\u2019s a hesitation. It\u2019s like she can\u2019t trust me anymore because she doesn\u2019t trust people anymore, and I\u2019m just worried that all this \u2014 this trauma and humiliation will make her not want to be with me.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I wouldn\u2019t worry. Joss is made of stronger stuff than that.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I know. But we\u2019ve both been receiving some weird and creepy messages.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Like what?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Well, there\u2019s random people congratulating me. And there\u2019s some people critiquing my technique. But for Joss, it\u2019s so much worse. It\u2019s \u2014 they\u2019re calling her\u2026 well, you can imagine what they\u2019re calling her.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: My first time was broadcast to the world. Do you really think I wanted that?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No. I know you didn&#8217;t. I\u2019m sorry. I should never have accused you. You\u2019re right. I do know you better than that.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Thank you. I\u2019m sorry for shoving your rap sheet in your face.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah, man. You\u2019re really awful. I can\u2019t even believe that I wanted you to stop by.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Well, then I guess I should be going.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Hey, hold up. Now that we\u2019ve, uh, established that you\u2019re not some predatory creep, you want to split this cupcake?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Spence and I weren\u2019t anywhere near the cabin when it all went down, but they\u2019re still blaming me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: That doesn\u2019t seem fair. But you have to admit, your track record hasn\u2019t been great since you showed up here.<\/p>\n<p>Esme:\u00a0 Yes. I\u2019ve made mistakes \u2014 for Spence. When he asked. I\u2019ve tried to convince Joss and Cam and Trina that I\u2019ve grown since then, but they won\u2019t let me move on!<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: I know firsthand\u2026 what it\u2019s like to have people think the worst of you. But you don&#8217;t seem the type that\u2019s easily defeated. Yes, you know, having a colorful past, it makes it harder to prove yourself. But that doesn\u2019t mean you stop trying.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Thanks. You\u2019re right, Mr. Cassadine. It\u2019s just been so hard\u2026 being on my own while Spence is in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: He\u2019s only gonna be gone a month. He\u2019ll be out in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Still\u2026 I feel like the time he\u2019s in there, people still judge me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Maybe you feel that way because the people around you haven\u2019t been supportive. My family and I could definitely do better on that front. Tell me, Esme. Be honest. Have we made it harder for you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: So, when did you land this gainful employment?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: I haven\u2019t started yet.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: What does it entail?<\/p>\n<p>Brad: You tell me. I need to keep busy, do some good. Can you get me a job at G.H.?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Chuckles ] Uh, wow. That is a tall order.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: You know my qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: No, it has nothing to do with that. I-I could lobby for H.R. To look past your criminal record.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: But\u2026?<\/p>\n<p>Getting coworkers, and especially Lucas&#8217; friends, to accept that you\u2019re coming back? I mean, it would \u2014 it wouldn\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: No, I \u2014 I get it. [ Chuckles ] And I don&#8217;t want to put you in a bad position. It\u2019s just that I\u2019M\u2026 really scared. I\u2019m living off my Aunt Selina right now. What if she decides to trade on my dependence? I can barely sleep at night from the\u2026 last task she assigned me.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Okay. Fine. I\u2019ll \u2014 I\u2019ll go to bat for you.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: You will?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Of course. But just remember, I am not sole chief of staff. I can\u2019t do anything without Terry\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: [ Chuckles ] Not a problem. There\u2019s nothing you can\u2019t sell.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Laughs ] I\u2019ll sell if you\u2019ll buy. This bottle is empty.<\/p>\n<p>Both: Waiter!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Selina: As host, you would oversee my nephew, who in turn will oversee the games.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Your nephew? Brad Cooper?<\/p>\n<p>Selina: I see you\u2019re familiar with my nephew\u2019s history. I assure you Bradley has turned over a new leaf, and I will be keeping him on a tight leash.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay. So how does this work? Because it\u2019s illegal to profit off of this without a gaming license.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: It\u2019s illegal to profit off the promotion of the games or to collect any part of the pot. But this could still be a winning proposition for me. High rollers are grateful for creditable venues to play, and gratitude is a currency in my line of business.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I appreciate your interest, okay? But my plate is full.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Let me stop you right there, Mr. Ashford, before you make a mistake you\u2019ll live to regret.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: You know, for a minute there, it sounded like you might be threatening me.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Not at all. I\u2019m merely making a plea for you not to act in haste.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Or I\u2019ll live to regret it.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: Mr. Ashford, my grandfather was from the old country. He was fond of his proverbs, often told the story of a man who was down on his luck and prayed for prosperity. This man discovered a money tree and took it home. He watered it and nurtured it for many days and many nights, but no money grew. Eventually, his wife grew disgusted with him and the tree and demanded that he remove it from the house. But the man persisted. Before long, he realized the tree provided seeds, which he planted. The tree never grew money, but the man grew a fortune, cultivating and selling the trees themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I appreciate the story, but I\u2019m not sure how it applies in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>Selina: If you don&#8217;t open your mind to possibility, you\u2019ll never know what you can grow. Take some time. Mull it over. I\u2019m confident you\u2019ll move forward with my proposition. Then you\u2019ll discover\u2026 I can be a very valuable friend to have.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I was writing these songs for my album when that psycho Nelle cut my throat. Lot of good these songs will do me now. Maybe I should just trash \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Don&#8217;t you dare.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: What? Why not? What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Look, a singing career\u2026 might be over, but \u2014 but a songwriting career is still possible.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: It\u2019s a pipe dream.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: [ Scoffs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: {singing} I was two minutes late \/ I stood and watched it fly away \/ in the days sitting next to you \/ You said that you would miss yours, too \/ Oh, whoa<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: {singing} It feels like the sky is fallin\u2019 \/ shattered like a vase \/ I\u2019m starting to think I\u2019m falling into place \/ feels like the sky is crashing \/ crashing over me \/ I\u2019m starting to think \/ I\u2019m falling into place<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Look, and \u2014 and I\u2019m \u2014 it\u2019s probably not much with me singing it, but do you believe me now? You are incredibly talented.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: [ Exhales sharply ] Go on. No, really. I-I could use a boost.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Okay. On \u2014 on top of being incredibly talented, you, Brook Lynn, are compassionate. You\u2019re brave. You\u2019re funny. You\u2019re beautiful. And did I mention that you were funny?<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Out of all those compliments, that\u2019s the one you repeat?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: See? I rest my case. If you ever need reminding\u2026 just how great you are\u2026 \u2026you know where to find me.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Thanks. And, um\u2026 just for the record, I really miss my friend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Have you heard from Trina? I\u2019ve been trying to text her.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Phones are allowed in here?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Of course not. I am not now, nor have I ever been in possession of a phone, but I know that this must be killing Trina. She cares a lot about you two.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Joss and I, we\u2019ve been so busy with putting out fires, we haven\u2019t been able to reach out to her yet.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You should. As long as you don&#8217;t suspect her. Because I know that it wasn\u2019t her.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: We both know that. Your girlfriend disagrees.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Esme doesn\u2019t know what I do. Trina didn\u2019t send any text when that video hit.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: How could you know that?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Do not make this about me! I\u2019m not the one who snuck out of country club jail so I could tool around some old cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I just know that Trina wouldn\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Right. So that only leaves one option.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: It wasn\u2019t Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: That\u2019s the best you can do? Spencer, you saw what happened when we all went to that cabin. She was stirring the pot. She was upsetting Trina. She\u2019s jealous of the bond that you and Trina have.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I told you. Trina and I \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Are \u201cjust friends.\u201d\u00a0 Yeah, sure. But what if Esme wasn\u2019t in the picture? Would you be more? Spencer, can you really tell me that you\u2019ve never suspected that Esme is behind this sex tape?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Spence\u2019s grandmother, your mom, has shown me a lot of grace taking me in while Spence is away.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: My mother can be pretty tough. I\u2019ve been on the other end of that more than I can count.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No tougher than anyone else in the family. And I\u2019ve earned it.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Well, I\u2019m part of your new family, too. If you ever need to talk\u2026 I appreciate it. And I\u2019d like to return the favor by giving you something that you want more than anything in the world.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: You\u2019re right. I have to stop hiding.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chiming rapidly ]<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, God.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Josslyn, don&#8217;t read those.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, God. There\u2019s so many messages! They\u2019re vile!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Let me see.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Mom, I\u2019m gonna have to delete everything.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You\u2019ve got to be kidding me. What happened to you and Cam wasn\u2019t just invasive and cruel. It was criminal. And the viper who\u2019s responsible\u2026 is gonna pay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: I should leave you to get settled in. It must feel good to be home.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Well, the beach house felt like home, too.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Same. I\u2019m really gonna miss it. Especially&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Especially?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Um&#8230;especially the&#8230;sound of the water, falling asleep.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Right.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: What will you miss?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I will tell you what I won\u2019t miss. Sand. I hate it. It\u2019s the worst. In my hair, in my clothes, in my notebook.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Well, you should \u2013 you should write a song about it. I&#8217;m sure you could tweak the words you just said and turn it into a really big hit. And when you do&#8230;I\u2019ll be happy to sing it for you. I\u2019ll see you around.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Hey, Chase. Smell you later.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Man: Curtis Ashford?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: That\u2019s me.<\/p>\n<p>Man: Sign here, please.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Thank you. \u201cTo our growing friendship and shared good fortune.\u201d \u201cSelina Wu.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: As for your other problem.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: What problem?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Your love life.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: What love life?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: [ Chuckles ] I happen to have a membership to a super-exclusive matchmaking service. All you have to do is fill out the questionnaire, and your cold nights may be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: Are you re-gifting me your mother\u2019s Christmas present to you? Hey, I certainly won\u2019t look a re-gift horse in the mouth. And with the right match, I might not need that job after all.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Dream big.<\/p>\n<p>Brad: [ Chuckles ] Until then\u2026 we have each other, and for that, I am so, so grateful. Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.<\/p>\n<p>[ Glasses clink]<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Britt: That\u2019s silly. [ Laughs ] That\u2019s funny.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Of course, it has, um, occurred to me that Esme could have done this.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Great. Can you ask her about it?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Then I realized that we were gone, so she couldn\u2019t have done it.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Right, \u2019cause she couldn\u2019t figure out how to set up a timer or a motion sensor or simply leave the camera running. Spencer, she didn\u2019t have to be there. I get you\u2019re trying to save what you have with Esme, but don&#8217;t lose the people you care about in the process.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: I know it would mean the world to you to have Spence at your vow-renewal ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: It would mean the world. Ava wants him there, too.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: And we both want you there, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019ll make sure Spence is there, and I\u2019ll do everything I can to help you restore your relationship with your son. I mean, Spence may be angry, but he still loves you, and I know he misses the closeness you used to have.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Thank you, Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No. Thank you, Mr. Cassadine. For accepting me and for having my back with Carly before. And, um, for this talk.<\/p>\n<p>Nikolas: Call me Nickolas.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Crime or no crime, my life is destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, baby. I know it feels that way, but that\u2019s not the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay. Well, I need to go wash up. Excuse me.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Sighs ] God. Diane, it\u2019s Carly.
