Here I am. Why was it so important we meet in person?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Hmm, I see we\u2019re dispensing with the pleasantries.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Mm, I think I made it pretty clear what I think about you.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Yet here you stand. Are you alone?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Why? You got something up your sleeve? As usual?<\/p>\n<p>&lt;hr?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You still getting feedback?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah, what about you?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah. I don\u2019t understand, w-we \u2014 we \u2014 we heard Drew fine when we did a sound check earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Do you want to go over the checklist again?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, yeah, the wireless transmitter is functioning. The firmware is current.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Okay, well, what about the software on your tablet? Is that \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I updated it this morning. You can\u2019t hear anything that\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: No. And if I can\u2019t hear Drew, he can\u2019t hear us.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: That means he\u2019s on his own with Victor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: Oh. Oh! Oh my, God, Jordan. [ Laughs ] I\u2019m so, so sorry. I \u2014 God, I should be watching where I\u2019m going.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You and me both.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Is everything okay?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Yes, yeah, I\u2019m just here for a checkup. But I feel pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Well, good, that\u2019s \u2014 that\u2019s what we like to hear. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Yeah. I should be checking in soon.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Okay. Jordan, um, do you\u2026 have time to answer just \u2014 just \u2014 just one question? Something\u2019s been weighing on my mind.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Sure.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Do you consider Spencer Cassadine\u2026 dangerous?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: [ Chuckling ] Trina, you must be psychic. I was just thinking about you.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I\u2019ve been thinking about you, too.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I was hoping you\u2019d visit.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Life\u2019s been hectic.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I heard about the sex tape.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It\u2019s been rough on Cam, but I can\u2019t even begin to describe what Joss is going through.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What about you? I know that you and Joss are best friends. Her pain must be your pain.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Which is why I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: So your first visit isn\u2019t a social call.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: This isn\u2019t a social call. And this isn\u2019t just my first visit. It\u2019s also my last.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Carly, hi. Hey, you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Hey. I\u2019m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Uh, hey, I thought we made peace on Valentine\u2019s Day. Or was that just a temporary truce?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, God \u2014 no, no, we\u2019re fine. We\u2019re good. I \u2014 it\u2019s just, um, a lot going on.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Jason.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What about Jason?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Oh, uh, I\u2019m sorry. I thought you knew.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Thought I knew what?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Uh\u2026 [ Sighs ] Monica\u2019s decided to have Jason legally declared dead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking continues ]<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: [ Exhales sharply ] You want to know if I \u2014 if I talked to Michael. Am I right?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, uh, you\u2019re right. Did you?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny Yeah, Michael and Willow.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, I guess I\u2019m too late, then. I was having second thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I just didn\u2019t want to cause you any more trouble, Sonny. So, how\u2019d it go?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Michael and Willow don\u2019t want anything to \u2014 you know, they don\u2019t want you to see, uh, Wiley. End of \u2014 end of discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Okay, okay. Well, thanks, at least, for trying. Um, I will call Martin Grey, and I will tell him to start the paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>[ Tray Crashing ]<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh!<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I told you I&#8217;d fix it! And I will!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: If you\u2019re asking for my personal opinion of Spencer, I haven\u2019t really formed one.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Okay, and your professional one?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Not so much an opinion as facts. Spencer Cassadine is a convicted felon, currently serving a custodial sentence at Spring Ridge. He\u2019s never been charged with a violent infraction.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: He admitted to stalking, harassing, damaging property. That sounds like someone that\u2019s capable of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: If you mean setting Ava Jerome\u2019s car on fire, Spencer had an alibi.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Yes. Oh, yes, I know. Which brings me straight to his girlfriend, Esme Prince. Why exactly wasn\u2019t she charged?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: That\u2019s complicated, but may I ask \u2014 why all the questions about Spencer and Esme?<\/p>\n<p>[ Elevator bell dings ]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Well, I-I need to know the risks involved for someone that\u2019s in their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Is this about Trina?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: What happened to Trina?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: This is your first and last visit\u2026 because I\u2019m getting out soon?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: No, it\u2019s because of your girlfriend. As long as Esme\u2019s in your life\u2026 I can\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: [ Clears throat ]<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I want to discuss this with you, but right now is not a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: When is a good time, Spencer? Joss and Cam told me you avoided this conversation at the cabin, too.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019m not avoiding the conversation\u2026 but Esme is here, okay? She interns at Spring Ridge for her psychology class.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You\u2019re never gonna change. Will you, Spencer?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What is that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It means no matter how many horrible things Esme does, you keep trying to make her happy. It\u2019s been very apparent that you make Esme the priority since she first got here. Correction \u2014 since she first showed herself. Who knows how long you and Esme have been lurking around Port Charles, planting creepy gifts for children to find?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: That is not \u2014 I made some horrible mistakes. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here \u2014 to pay for them.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Esme should be the one paying! She\u2019s the one who torched a car! She\u2019s taking a step back and letting you take the fall, and you\u2019re obviously okay with that. Just like you\u2019re okay with the fact that Esme taped Joss and Cam having sex and showed it to the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Trina, no, you\u2019ve got it all wrong!<\/p>\n<p>Trina: No, I\u2019ve got it all right! Which is why I\u2019m giving you this. Take it. I don\u2019t want it anymore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: I-I don\u2019t understand \u2014 the wi-fi signal is garbage. I checked it yesterday, and it was totally fine.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: I knew I should have called Spinelli. No, we \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Dante: We don\u2019t need Spinelli. I just need some time so I can figure this out.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: We don\u2019t have any time. Maybe you should just \u2014 I don\u2019t know \u2014 move the van. We have to leave. Find a new spot.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: \u201cLeaf.\u201d Leaf, you\u2019re right. Sam, oh, my God. Like, it rained, and the wet leaves are interfering with the wi-fi signal. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Oh, my God, why didn\u2019t I think of that?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, gotta move the van a few feet.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: We\u2019ll have sound loud and clear.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Hurry up! We need to know what\u2019s going on between Victor and Drew on that bridge.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: You said you wanted to discuss ELQ. What difference does it make if I came alone? Actually, what difference does it make if we have this conversation in private?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, as I said, we\u2019re here to discuss sensitive financial matters.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Well, if you didn\u2019t want an audience for that, why\u2019d you bring your attack dog? Yeah, I surveil the area before I come out in the open. It\u2019s a reflex \u2014 you know, all that Navy SEAL training is pretty ingrained.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Scoffs ] All right, Johann, he\u2019s onto you. You might as well join us. There are those in town who might mistake my motives.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh, I don\u2019t think any of us are mistaken.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Johann here is my insurance policy.<\/p>\n<p>Johann: That card is going to allow you to access Drew Cain\u2019s old memories?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Huh. There\u2019s only one way to find out. I\u2019ll have to lure Drew to some secluded location and then activate the conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>Johann: Drew figured out what you were doing. You denied it once. You try that again, there\u2019ll be no denying it.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You make an excellent point. Oh, it\u2019d be a terrible waste, but if the conditioning of Drew doesn\u2019t work this time, he\u2019ll just have to be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Your henchman may be here to protect you, but if this meeting goes sideways\u2026 who\u2019s gonna protect him?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: It\u2019s not a done deal. Monica has to petition the court, and the judge might make her wait the full seven years before declaring Jason legally dead.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I don\u2019t understand \u2014 Jason&#8217;s only been missing three months. Why is Monica doing this now?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: You\u2019ll have to ask her, but I think she feels Jason\u2019s kids need closure.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And she told you?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Only because I was on Cassadine island when Jason was killed. She might need me to provide a statement for her declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Will you?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Yes, of course. Whatever Monica needs.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I guess it\u2019s official, right? I have to live the rest of my life without my best friend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: I\u2019m so\u2013 I-I didn\u2019t mean to yell. I-it just \u2014 and \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I mean, we can just talk about this another time, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You\u2019re not leaving, are you?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, I am. I have to get out of here, Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Well, I\u2019m not gonna hurt you. I\u2019m not \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No \u2014 well, how do I know that? You\u2019re obviously drunk.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: No. No, no, no \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Aren\u2019t you?! And you\u2019re angry. So how do I know what you\u2019re going to do?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Because I\u2019m not \u2014 I\u2019m not angry. I j\u2013 I\u2019ve \u2014 I\u2019ve had \u2014 I\u2019ve had a couple of \u2014 of bad days. Can you just come in? Let me \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Listen. I don\u2019t know w-what is going on in your life. I want to help you \u2014 I do \u2014 but I can\u2019t put myself at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: You know me! I would not do \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No! I knew Mike!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: You\u2019re right. Mike would have never scared you like that.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I-I-I shouldn\u2019t have said that.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: No, hey, you were being honest. You miss Mike. So do I.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: You miss Mike? What \u2014 what part?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Mike wasn\u2019t very complicated. Helps that he had no history. Mike didn\u2019t have a best friend who was buried\u2026 \u2026in rubble in a tunnel. Never recovered his body, and now he\u2019s being declared legally dead.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Mike didn\u2019t have a wife\u2026 who left him, and a son who blames him for the breakup of his f-family. Mike didn\u2019t have a stepfather\u2026 [ Crying softly ] \u2026Who used to get drunk. Beat his mother. Deke was an animal. I never wanted to be anything like him. And now, I can see Deke reflected in your eyes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: Why all the questions? Were Spencer and Esme threatening her?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: No! No, no, no, no. I \u2014 you know what? I shouldn\u2019t have brought it up. Trina, she wouldn\u2019t even appreciate me meddling in her life, anyway, so \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: No, it\u2019s not meddling to show concern. In fact, if you\u2019re worried, maybe \u2014 maybe Jordan can help.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I can at least look into Spencer and Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Portia:\u00a0 You know what? Please don\u2019t do that. It\u2019s just that Trina is dealing with some, um \u2014 some friend drama right now.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay, but she\u2019s doing okay in classes? Still enjoying her art courses?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Yes. Yes. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Alright. They\u2019ve actually pushed my appointment back 30 minutes, so I\u2019m gonna grab a bite in the cafeteria and come back later.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Um, is this about your kidney?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: It\u2019s routine. Everything\u2019s fine. Portia, please reach out if you need my help.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019m not taking that book, Trina. You love Richard Molyneaux&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I did. \u201cDid\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What does that mean? What changed?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: My perspective \u2014 about a lot of things. Starting with the fact that I accepted the book under false pretenses. I thought we were friends.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Friends have each other\u2019s backs, no matter what the cost.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I would do anything for you.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Except stop asking me to lie for you, like I did to Joss and Cam and your dad for weeks by not telling them that you were in Port Charles before you were. And you swore that you were sorry and that you would never put me in that position again \u2014 until the other day at the cemetery, when you asked me to lie to the police commissioner for you. Which is bad on you, but worse on me, because I did it.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: But \u2014 but it all worked out.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: But what if it hadn\u2019t? What if I had gotten caught? You committed the crime, but your family has enough money to buy you out of trouble. Uncle Victor would have been there with the fix. But my future, my dreams? Everything that I have worked so hard for, I\u2019ve put on the line to cover for you. And all you can do is get me a book? Well, no thanks. You want to prove that you care? Leave your girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer:\u00a0 You want me to break up with Esme? For you?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I want you to leave Esme because she\u2019s responsible for filming Cam and Joss.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Esme says that you are.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And you believe her?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No. No, I don&#8217;t. You would never hurt Joss and Cam that way. You would never tape something so private and personal, much less post it.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You know deep down that she would\u2026 and did. And yet, you still choose to be with her. And that\u2019s not something I can respect.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I told you, it\u2019s yours.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Fine. Bye, Spencer. Good luck with life.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Trina\u2014 Trina, please. Don\u2019t walk out on me. If you do, I\u2019ll always wonder.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Wonder what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Accepting Jason\u2019s death is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I\u2019m just trying\u2026 to adjust to a world without him, where I can\u2019t turn to him, or\u2026 I mean, there are so many times when I forget that he\u2019s gone, when I feel like he\u2019s still here. And then I have to remember all over again. [ Scoffs ] I feel like declaring him dead is like giving up on him. Is that right?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: We have to let him go, Carly.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Really? Have you? I mean, come on \u2014 you\u2019re telling me that I have to move on, but you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: It\u2019s a process. [ Sighs ] I mean, we have to accept that what we shared with Jason are now just memories.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Okay, let\u2019s be honest, okay? What \u2014 what you had with Jason was a memory before he even went to Greece.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: Well? Anything?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: [ Chuckles ] I will never doubt you again.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Oh, I think I, uh, should have that in writing, notarized.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Drew, if you can hear me, cough.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: [ Coughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Okay, now, hopefully, Victor or shows him the tarot card.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: And puts us back in business.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Nothing\u2019s going sideways, Drew. We\u2019re just here for a friendly, informative meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh, well, that sounds lovely. Let\u2019s get to it, then, shall we? You said you wanted to discuss Valentin&#8217;s ELQ shares? Now what?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: When I called, you were adamant about not meeting with me. Yet, here you are, all eager to hear news about voting shares.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: ELQ is my daughter\u2019s birthright. What concerns Scout concerns me.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Oh, Valentin is in charge of the company. Brook Lynn deceived my son in the worst way imaginable just to get hold of his shares. I wonder what other schemes the Quartermaines are hatching to get back control of ELQ.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: W\u2013 do you really think, if I knew, I would tell you? What is that? Another tarot card? What, did you go and buy a whole deck from the local fortune teller?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no. Ah, this isn\u2019t just any old tarot card, Drew. This is the card. The one Peter August used to control you. You are active.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Reporting for duty.<\/p>\n<p>Johann: You did it, boss.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Well, so it seems. But\u2026 we have to be sure. Throw Johann over the side of the bridge.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: I never want anybody I care about\u2026 [ Breathing deeply ] \u2026To be afraid of me. You forgive me, Nina? [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I-I can forgive you. But, Sonny, this isn\u2019t the first time that you lashed out in anger.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I know \u2014 I grabbed you. And then I hurt you. I know that.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, you did. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Just \u2014 I have no excuses, Nina.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well\u2026 you had to say goodbye to your friend Jason, and on top of everything that\u2019s happening with your family, so that must be very painful.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: It\u2019s very pai\u2013 You know what? Ever since I have come home, I have \u2014 e-everybody that I love is just slipping through my fingers. And I \u2014 and this is not helping.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah. You know what, Sonny? You\u2019re right. It\u2019s really good of you to recognize that that doesn\u2019t help you.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Please don\u2019t \u2014 don\u2019t tell me that. I just \u2014 I\u2019m just \u2014 listen, ever since I-I-I\u2019ve been taking my bipolar medication, I\u2019ve been able to drink in moderation.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: What changed?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Ever since I\u2019ve come home\u2026 \u2026I\u2019ve been drinking a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: What are you gonna do about it?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Britt: Whatever \u2014 I thought you\u2019d want to know Monica\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Britt. I\u2019m sorry. I-I had no right to say that to you. I had no right to take my anger and grief out on you. I am sorry. It\u2019s just\u2026 [ Sighs ] I\u2019m going through a lot right now. And, um, you know, hearing about Jason didn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: I\u2019m sorry to hear about your divorce. I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m sure things have not been easy.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No, uh, for any of us. I\u2026 Josslyn\u2019s going through something really difficult, and, um, I don\u2019t know how to help her. And it would be a time for me\u2026 to turn to Jason.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Yeah, Jason always had a way of making challenges seem easy to face.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Voice breaking ] I can\u2019t tell you\u2026 how many times I go to call him, you know? Or, you know, a-a-a guy will come to the bar at the metro court in a black t-shirt, and\u2026 [ Chuckles ] This just feels so final.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Carly, I\u2019m so sorry about Jason.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Thank you. I\u2019m gonna go. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: [ Sighs ] Hurts like hell, doesn\u2019t it? When you\u2019re forced to accept the person you love is never coming back?<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Let\u2019s talk about happier news. I heard you got a clean bill of health?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I did. And while I would have never chosen to go through it, my kidney scare was an important reminder \u2014 life\u2019s not promised to everybody.<\/p>\n<p>Britt: Don\u2019t I know it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sam: Victor just ordered Drew to kill Johann.<\/p>\n<p>Johann: Boss, don\u2019t! No!<\/p>\n<p>Dante: You gotta tell Drew to abort.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: What do you mean? And blow his cover? No, we\u2019ve gotta see how this plays out.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: We \u2014 we don\u2019t have time, Sam.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: We have to give him time. He\u2019s gonna be able to sell this.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Look, I\u2019m a cop. I can\u2019t let this get out of hand, even if it is bringing down Victor Cassadine.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: It\u2019s not gonna come to that. Come on, we\u2013 we\u2019re not gonna have another shot at this. I trust Drew. You have to trust me on this.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both grunting ]<\/p>\n<p>Johann: Boss! Help me!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: So now Esme is blaming Trina for filming Cameron and Josslyn and putting it on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: That\u2019s insane \u2014 Trina would never do that.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Well, of course she wouldn&#8217;t. She doesn\u2019t have a malicious bone in her body.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: No, she \u2014 she \u2014 she\u2019s kind. She\u2019s generous. She\u2019s just like her mother, which means she\u2019s strong. And she can stand up to Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I know, but I can\u2019t help wanting to protect her. I want to put the smackdown on Esme. That\u2019s exactly what I want to do. [ Sighs ] But I suppose that\u2019s a bad idea. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Sadly, yes. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Oh, there was, um, some good news that I wanted to share with you. I told Trina about our plans to buy the beach house. And she seemed really excited about it.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: \u201cSeemed\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: I told you \u2014 she\u2019s distracted. This whole friends\u2019 drama thing \u2014 it\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s taking its toll on her.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: And you?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Me? I-I\u2019m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: What was done to Cameron and Josslyn was inexcusable. And Esme blaming Trina \u2014 it\u2019s despicable. But I know you, and I know there\u2019s something on your mind. What is it?<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Trina\u2019s inexplicable attachment to this Cassadine kid.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019ll always wonder\u2026 \u2026what you thought of the book.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It was inspiring, but I also felt let down.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Richard Molyneaux was one of the reasons I got into modernism. Even though Joss thinks his art is just a bunch of squiggles, which is what most people see.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: But you saw beyond that. You saw behind the squiggles. That is your talent, Trina \u2014 to understand true art. T<\/p>\n<p>Trina: The book allowed me to see pieces I had never seen before, and it was amazing. I felt closer to the artist.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer:\u00a0 But?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: But the book also provided professional criticism \u2014 really insightful stuff that exposed the artist\u2019s limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You once told me that\u2026 frailty is what makes us human. Isn\u2019t there beauty in someone\u2019s imperfections?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: There can be \u2014 only if someone recognizes those imperfections\u2026 and chooses to live up to their potential.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What if a person wants to do better and just needs more time? It must seem so simple from the outside. All someone needs to do in order to live a better life is to make different choices \u2014 better choices. But if it were really that easy, wouldn\u2019t the whole world be full of happy, fulfilled people?<\/p>\n<p>[ Line rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Woman: You have reached the PCPD anonymous tip line.

I know who uploaded the sex video of Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sonny: Clearly, I can\u2019t drink like I used to. I guess it just acts differently now with the medication.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: You know, Sonny, does the reason really matter? The \u2014 it seems to me like the important thing is that you cannot drink to \u2014 to prop yourself up or to dull your pain.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Yeah, my stepdad\u2026 he used to just\u2026 escape to the bottom of a whiskey bottle, and then\u2026 \u2026that wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: You\u2019re not your stepdad.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: Like you said, I can\u2019t, y\u2013 you know, keep using liquor\u2026 \u2026as an excuse. Here, you \u2014 you can drink it. Just drink a little bit. Do you want it?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No. No, thank you, Sonny. [ Sighs lightly ] But is it \u2014 is it gonna be enough later? I mean, it\u2019s not like Michael and Willow\u2019s rejection is gonna be the last piece of bad news that you ever get.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: I can\u2019t keep using booze as a crutch. I can\u2019t do it anymore. And I promise you, I won&#8217;t\u2026 I will never hurt you again.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I want to believe you, but that\u2019s easier said than done. Can you dump the contents of this decanter in the sink?<\/p>\n<p>Sonny: There\u2019s a first time for everything.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Portia: Trina was in here, twisting herself in knots, defending Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Trina\u2019s loyal to her friends.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Yeah, but, see, that\u2019s the problem. Ever since Trina befriended Spencer, she\u2019s had to deal with all of his lies. His vendetta against Ava, who just happens to be Trina\u2019s mentor. Plus, Trina\u2019s own conflict \u2014 exposing him as the stalker. I-I-I \u2014 no. Spencer doesn\u2019t deserve Trina\u2019s loyalty \u2014 that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: And I\u2019m sure having Esme in his life\u2026 uh, you know, makes Trina\u2019s friendship with Spencer even more fraught.<\/p>\n<p>Portia: Before Spencer and Esme came into Trina\u2019s life, she was never self-conscious. She never second-guessed her choices. I just wish that she would leave him alone and just move on.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: But isn\u2019t that Trina\u2019s decision?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: All the time in the world won\u2019t help someone unwilling to grow. The book points out that Richard Molyneaux&#8217;s work stops evolving the last two decades of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Maybe something happened to him. Something beyond his control.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And sometimes, people are who they are, and they can\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: So that\u2019s it, then? You\u2019re dropping your favorite artist and me? You don\u2019t care about our friendship?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, don\u2019t give me those puppy dog eyes, Spencer! I lied for you. I forgave you. I covered for you. I made stupid decisions for you. And you can\u2019t even stand up for me against Esme\u2019s ridiculous accusations.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You\u2019re right. I don\u2019t deserve your friendship, but I need it. I need you to not give up on me.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It\u2019s not too late to end things with Esme and send her back to France \u2014 or wherever she\u2019s really from.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I can\u2019t do that.
