Yeah, okay.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knocking ]<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: You got time?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Uh, for you? Always.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Good, \u2019cause we have a lot to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Okay, what is it?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Your friend Harmony and the company she keeps.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Phyllis: Nina!<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Hey!<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I wish you\u2019d have given me a heads up. I would have cancelled my plans.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh, well, yeah, you\u2019re a busy lady. So, what kind of plans do you have?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I\u2019m on my way out to meet up with a friend of Lenny&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh, that\u2019s sweet. They live in Port Charles?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Mnh-mnh. Just passing through. Rain check?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Definitely. And the truth is, I actually have a meeting myself. And no, it\u2019s not with Sonny. Alright. Go have fun.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay. See you soon.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: It\u2019ll be quick.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Alrighty.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: I hope I didn\u2019t keep you waiting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Nurse Tait?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: What \u2014 what are you doing here? Wait. It\u2019s not date night. Did I forget date night?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: You\u2019re fine. You\u2019re fine. Are you finished with your rotation?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Uh\u2026 yes. Or can\u2019t you tell by the circles under my eyes? If being a nurse is as exhausting as training to become one, I\u2019m going to have to up my concealer game.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hmm. Well, \u201cA,\u201d your eyes are perfect, okay? And \u201cB,\u201d all you need is a week in Paris, and voil\u00e0.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Ooh, you learned a new French word.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Oui, oui.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Well, I\u2019ve cleared the trip with my supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Alright, well, then let\u2019s get you home and start packing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: You want an interview? Contact my office.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Don\u2019t stonewall, Commissioner. You must be aware there\u2019s a video out there of Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber doing the dirty.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: \u201cOut there\u201d as in\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Gone viral. And I have it from unnamed sources that PCU has launched its own investigation. What do you think, Commissioner? With the Corinthos family involved, are we looking at a prank, or something more criminal?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Is that the gift you gave her?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: It was. Apparently, Trina doesn\u2019t want anything from me.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Not even friendship? Does that mean Trina\u2019s out of your life?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: If she is, will you be happy? You finally got what you wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: How can you say that? If you\u2019re hurt, I\u2019m hurting for you, Spence. But given the pain Trina\u2019s inflicted on your two closest friends, maybe it\u2019s better this way.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Better for who?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, my god. She finally did it, didn\u2019t she? She actually has you believing I\u2019m the one who made that awful video.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Sam: No. I can\u2019t believe Carly just showed up like that.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Uh, she didn\u2019t just show up. She detonated our entire plan.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah, a plan that was actually working, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Yeah, it was. But what can you do?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: I don\u2019t know. What now?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Now we find another way to figure out what Victor\u2019s up to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: So, um\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Drew: So?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: So\u2026 I\u2019m so, so sorry that I completely and utterly ruined your plan. Had I had any idea that \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Why what? Why am I sorry?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: No, no, no. No, I mean, most people that would have come up and figured out what was going on would have, I don\u2019t know, they would have made an anonymous call to the cops, but you, you just stormed up to confront it head-on.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, yeah. I-I thought you were about to pitch that guy over the bridge and commit murder. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t start filming right away. I mean, I didn\u2019t want to capture that. Can you imagine? I mean, you facing a jury, trying to explain? \u201cI was conditioned. It wasn\u2019t my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drew: \u201cThe tarot card made me do it\u201d isn\u2019t a good defense? I don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah. I ca\u2013 I couldn\u2019t stand the thought of sitting in a gallery watching that.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You\u2019d be at my trial?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, of course I would.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Willow: You want to leave for Paris now?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: As soon as humanly possible, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Uh, but there\u2019s so much to do, so much to plan.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Well, you know, all you need is your passport, and thanks to your mom, you have one of those, right? And you know what? We\u2019ll just \u2014 we\u2019ll just throw some necessities in a suitcase, and as for the rest, the Parisian shops are calling our names.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Well, that sounds\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Incredible?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Yes. But what about Wiley?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Who\u2019s Wiley? Our son. Yes, I-I-I-I got it. Okay, well, yes, look, Monica, she offered to watch him. She insisted, actually.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: But that was before she had her hands full planning Jason\u2019s memorial.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Right. I\u2019d ask my mom, but her life\u2019s kind of crazy right now, though, so\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Willow: There\u2019s always my mom. You know she\u2019d jump at the chance. And let\u2019s face it \u2014 so would Nina.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: I figured it was about time that we met. I mean, we do have someone in common.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: We do?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Our grandson. Why? Who else do you think I meant?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: If and when the PCPD has something to say on this matter, you can read the press release.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Everything cool, mom?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: Occupational hazard.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: If someone\u2019s targeted Sonny Corinthos\u2019 stepdaughter, I\u2019m damn well gonna find out who, with or without your cooperation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re buying into Trina\u2019s pathetic attempt to deflect suspicion onto me. I mean, this is ridiculous. When I left a little while ago, everything was fine. Trina pays you one visit and now you throw this baseless accusation in my face?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Cameron doesn\u2019t think that it\u2019s baseless.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: And who cares what Cameron thinks?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I do! He told me to trust my gut.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: And to not trust me? I mean, open your eyes, Spence. Cam\u2019s always had it out for me.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No, not always. In fact, he was on your side until you \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Until what? U-until I somehow taped him and his girlfriend having sex when I was miles away with you? Do you hear yourself?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You managed to torch Ava\u2019s car without being there.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I did that for you.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: So did you &#8212; you do this for me, too?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: They succeeded. Your friends set out to turn you against me, and they finally made it happen.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: They didn\u2019t do anything, Esme. They didn\u2019t have to. Not if you did it all for them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: Alright, so we know Drew was part of this operation Demeter at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah. And our chances at uncovering it are basically zero.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Right, \u2019cause he was a seal and, uh, it was probably some black op we\u2019ll never get near.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah, but I \u2014 maybe Spinelli could get near it.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Sam\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Demeter. You know he has his ways, but\u2026 I know. I\u2019m not allowed to ask him for help anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: [ Chuckles ] You\u2019re a real piece of work, you know that?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah, I do know that, but I also know that I\u2019m right, and I think it\u2019s a mistake not to utilize Spinelli just because your ego can\u2019t take it.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Oh. Oh, can\u2019t take it?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: [ Exhales deeply ] [ Clears throat ] You\u2019re right.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Do you think I would let you go on trial for a murder you committed against your will with no one in your corner? No way. The next call I would make would be to Diane.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Call Diane.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No, call me. I\u2019ll call Diane. I mean, you\u2019re a nice guy and all. [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Drew: But I\u2019m not on the list?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No!<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh, okay.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No, I got it. I got it. If it makes you feel better, it\u2019s a very short list. I mean, there were only three people in the world who could call Diane and no matter what she was doing or where she was, she would pick up the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Now there are only two.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You and Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I still can\u2019t believe that your first impulse wasn\u2019t to run, but \u2014 but instead, you just jump right into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, yeah, it\u2019s pretty on-brand for me. [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Drew: None of the other stuff even crossed your mind?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Like what?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Like your kids, your work, your life, all the stuff that you told me not to jeopardize? For all you knew, I could have thrown you over the side next.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh. I-I didn\u2019t even think about that, but if I had, I \u2014 no, I don\u2019t believe you would have thrown me over the bridge, conditioned or not.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I\u2019d really like to believe that. But that\u2019s what&#8217;s\u2026 so disorienting is, when it is the right tarot card, there \u2014 there is no choice, there\u2019s no \u2014 there\u2019s no conscious decision to do or don&#8217;t. I just wake up and it\u2019s done, and I literally\u2026 I don\u2019t remember anything.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: That\u2019s so scary.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: It\u2019s terrifying.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Shawn: It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve seen the guy, but when you\u2019re as notorious as Bucky was, you\u2019re not easily forgotten. And this isn\u2019t news to you, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: No, Harmony told me about the forger.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Oh, I see. So she made you an accessory after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I advised her not to do it, but at the end of the day, Harmony did what she was gonna do, and she did it for her daughter. So is there anything you wouldn\u2019t do for T.J.?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Okay, see, now you\u2019re just playing dirty.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Is there?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: [ Sighs ] Ask yourself this, Alexis \u2014 are you sure Harmony was thinking about Willow? Or was she just thinking about herself?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: You and I are virtual strangers. I\u2019ve learned the hard way to guard against people who want to involve me in their own personal problems.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Fair enough. And yes, I don\u2019t blame you for being cautious, but in this particular case, my problem could also be your problem.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: You want something.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I only want what you want, I would imagine \u2014 to spend time with your precious grandchild. Or does Michael and Willow, do they make you feel welcome when you\u2019re around Wiley?<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: I get to see him from time to time, if and when it\u2019s convenient for them.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: And what if I told you that we could change that?<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: What if you never had to beg or grovel to see Wiley? What if we got his parents to put him first and give us what\u2019s rightfully ours?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: We agreed that Nina gets nowhere near our son. Or has that changed?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: No, no, Nina forfeited her right to be in Wiley\u2019s life, as far as we\u2019re concerned. The courts may have a different opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: The only right that Nina has is a right to file a petition. Let her take her best shot, \u2019cause we know we\u2019re doing what\u2019s best for Wiley.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Didn\u2019t we agree that that\u2019s being surrounded by people who love him with no ulterior motive?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Of course. Could that list maybe include my mom? Look, I know she\u2019s had her issues. Believe me, no one knows that better than I do, but\u2026 she\u2019s trying so hard to make up for her mistakes, which is more than we can say for Nina, right?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: Careful now. Sounds like you\u2019re more interested in selling a story than protecting two innocent kids.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Who says they\u2019re innocent?<\/p>\n<p>TJ: What is going on?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to figure out. If what Mr. Smoltz here says is true \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Gospel. My sources always check out.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: I-if you refuse to give me the answers I need, I\u2019ll just find them somewhere else.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Despite your mom\u2019s sincere remorse, it\u2019s just \u2014 it\u2019s hard for me to leave what she did to you in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Pay dirt.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Look me in the eye and tell me that you had nothing to do with that video.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Would it even matter? After all this time together, everything we\u2019ve been through, I can\u2019t believe our history isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I want to trust you, Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: You remember the first time we met in boarding school.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yes, of course I do. Where were your friends then? You didn\u2019t have any. The poor, little rich kid, all alone until I came along. And then when you returned to Port Charles and threw that big welcome home party, who wrote up that guest list, huh? Who made sure every single person on it would fly in? You think they came all this way because they liked you? Please. They used you because your last name is Cassadine. All of them, except for me, because I saw the real you, Spence. Your heart, your mind, your endless potential. Sure, you were just a boy, but\u2026 I fell for you knowing one day, you\u2019d be a man. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was fooling myself this entire time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Okay, let\u2019s be practical about this.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Your specialty.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I\u2019m kidding!<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Alright, you know what tarot cards work on you, right?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: The chariot puts me under. The tower brings me out.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And you know what words need to be used?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: \u201cYou\u2019re active\u201d and \u201cstand down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Okay, so besides you and me, who else knows the whole sequence at this point?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Um, I mean, I think a lot of people know that the conditioning is tied to the tarot cards, but\u2026only Jason and Britt knew the actual sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, I mean, look, I\u2019ve had my mixed feelings about Britt in the past, but she would never use it against you. And I \u2014 well, I almost certainly wouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I\u2019m sorry, \u201calmost certainly\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, now that I think about it, I should invest in a tarot deck. I mean, just in case.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: And why would you do that?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You never know when it may come in handy. You know, when Nina\u2019s really driving me crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I don\u2019t want to wipe her off the map or anything, but maybe \u2014 maybe there\u2019s a fire at the Crimson printing facility. No one\u2019s hurt or anything like that, but the magazine fails and Nina has to leave town. I don\u2019t want you to make the mistake that I\u2019m above that, because I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Yeah, you are.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No!<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Look, you despise Nina, but not for one second do I think that you would take away my free will just to mess with her.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No. I wouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: I was wrong. We should have called Spinelli instead of letting my, uh\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Ego.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: \u2026Ego, yeah, get in the way, and then maybe we wouldn\u2019t be in this position.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: You know, as much as I like to be right\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Thanks. That\u2019s nice.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: \u2026You\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I just finished telling you I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: No, I\u2019m talking about being in this position. It has absolutely nothing to do with you or who put a microphone on Drew, and everything to do with Carly. The plan went sideways. It was not your fault. You are actually doing a really great job.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Ooh. Wait. Can you \u2014 can you say that again?<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Again?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: I said you are doing a really great\u2026 job.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: When you said take away your free will, that really\u2026 really made me think.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: About?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: The worst mistakes I\u2019ve made in my entire life are when I went along with someone else\u2019s choice, when I didn\u2019t make it my choice.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You know? I mean, I loved Jason for a million reasons, but one that stands out to me is that Jason never did anything that he didn\u2019t choose to do. I mean, he did a ton of things he didn\u2019t want to do, but Jason was the ultimate proponent for free will. I don\u2019t know, I guess that makes this a little easier sometimes, you know? I\u2019m so angry I want to scream at the universe, but\u2026 no one made Jason go to that island. He chose it, just like he chose everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: That\u2019s why you two were so close, \u2019cause you\u2019re the same that way.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: It\u2019s true, in the end, you just say what you want, everybody else be damned. Jason clearly didn\u2019t have a problem with it.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh. [ Laughs ] He had a problem with it sometimes. A lot of times. You know, that\u2019s why, um\u2026 I think as much as it hurt, I had to end things with Sonny. I mean, it was the right thing to do. I mean, it got to the point where I was making myself small every day. I was lying every day, not just to the kids, but him, the world, myself. I mean, I was\u2026 I was swallowing so much resentment and anger, I was choking on it.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You made a choice and you broke free.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I mean, it\u2019s gonna take a little while before I\u2019m really okay.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I mean, I miss Avery so much, it hurts. But I didn\u2019t have a choice. Not one I could live with.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: This is what I get for being by your side when everyone else, including your own father, was against you. I won\u2019t be making that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You know what you mean to me, okay? I haven\u2019t forgotten all that you\u2019ve done for me.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: It sure seems like it. It\u2019s like you\u2019re willing to believe everyone except me.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I just want to understand what happened. Someone made that video and sent it out to the entire school. You blame Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Because she did it!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Everyone else blames you! So either everyone\u2019s wrong and you\u2019re right\u2026 who am I supposed to believe?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Me. You\u2019re supposed to believe me, because that\u2019s what love is, Spence, putting one person before everyone else. Either you can do that or you can\u2019t!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: So, yes, we do need to figure out your mom\u2019s place in Wiley\u2019s life. But can we do it on the way to the airport or, you know, on the plane or any of the amazing cafes we\u2019re gonna be eating at? Look, I just \u2014 I just want you to myself in the city of lights.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: We still need to figure out who\u2019s watching Wiley.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay, I-I-I will call my grandmother, give her first choice. In the car.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Let\u2019s get out of here.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Alright.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Excuse me, Mr. Corinthos?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Do I know you?<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: The name\u2019s Smoltz. You must have seen my work in the invader. Do you have any comment on the video?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Look, we\u2019re in a hurry, so you can contact my office. So you have no comment about your family\u2019s latest brush with scandal? My family is well-versed in so-called scandals, Mr. Smoltz, so\u2026we\u2019re practically immune.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Ah, okay. Hmm. Even when it comes to your sister Josslyn?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: What about Josslyn?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: Sorry. You don\u2019t want me to miss a deadline, do you?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Always a master at deflection.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Hey, the website called me.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: And even if she hadn\u2019t, you would have found some other way to avoid explaining why you\u2019re covering for your friend.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: You and I both know this is not about Harmony.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: No?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: The last time we spoke, you said you were flying out to the west coast for some amazing job opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Oh, good memory.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Then you would also remember me asking if I had a reason to come back in a few weeks, move the offices here.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: The reason being me?<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: And you\u2019ve been avoiding me ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I have not been avoiding you, Shawn. Okay, maybe I\u2019ve been avoiding you a little. You want to talk about us? If there even is an us.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: And is there?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: I have always put you first \u2014 ahead of my family, ahead of my friends, ahead of everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Then why are we fighting? Look, I know you like Trina and want to believe she\u2019s innocent, but\u2026maybe she did you a favor.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: She returned that gift you got her. Now you can make a clean break and move on. You wrote an inscription.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: It\u2019s nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: It\u2019s not nothing. \u201cTo Trina and our shared passion. Spencer.\u201d Isn\u2019t that sweet? Tell me, Spence, if I hadn\u2019t come back when I did, would you have kissed Trina to demonstrate all that shared passion?!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: You make a really good point.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I do? I love when I do that.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: [ Chuckles ] There is an upside for me coming back and having missed out a couple of years of my life.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: There is?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Yeah. I\u2019ve got a completely clear slate. Like, I\u2019m free to\u2026 set my own priorities, to \u2014 to trust my own instincts, to fill up my life in a way that seems best to me. And yeah, of course, I\u2019ve got obligations, Scout being number one, but it\u2019s not like I\u2019m in a situation where\u2026I\u2019ve made a promise that I can\u2019t keep, or \u2014 or \u2014 or I\u2019m trapped, emotionally or physically.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You\u2019re free.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: And I\u2019ve been grateful for that. I mean, I\u2019ve been grateful to be home, but I feel like I\u2019ve been focused more on \u2014 on the loss instead of the freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I think you need to shift your focus.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I think you\u2019re right. Just let go of\u2026 whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Drew: All the time I\u2019ve lost or dreams I\u2019ve had, just put it down. It\u2019s just gonna\u2026 free up so much space to start over.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Amen to that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Legally, grandparents are guaranteed access to their grandchildren, in the state of New York, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Even if I wanted to fight for those rights, I wouldn\u2019t be able to afford a lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: But you wouldn\u2019t have to, because I already have legal representation. But see, that\u2019s not even my point. Yeah, we could come out swinging and we\u2019d probably succeed, but a long, contentious legal battle is not in Wiley\u2019s best interests or in ours.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: I agree. So what\u2019s the alternative to going to court?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Okay, separately, we\u2019re in a weak position, right? But together, we can present a united front. I have Michael\u2019s father in my corner, and you have the woman that Michael loves in yours.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Willow.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yes. So I could put in a good word for you, and you could do the same for me on your end. It could work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Something happen to Josslyn? Was she admitted to G.H.? What?<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: No, nothing like that. Okay, then start talking, because my patience is running thin.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: You know what? Let\u2019s go home. We\u2019ll figure it all out from there, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: No, I\u2019m not going anywhere until he tells me what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: You really don\u2019t know? Wow. I thought it\u2019d spread like wildfire.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Start talking.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: There\u2019s a video going around\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Michael: And?<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: \u2026And apparently, your sister was caught in the act with her boyfriend. A-and by \u201cact,\u201d I mean having sex.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Wait, Cameron and Josslyn?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Okay, we have the general idea. Let\u2019s get out of here.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: And someone sent the video to all the students at PCU. Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Who was it?<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: I was hoping you could tell me that. The video has blown up on social media, but so far, no one is taking credit, which makes me wonder, was this their plan?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: A-are you insinuating that my sister purposely leaked that video?<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: [ Scoffs ] Well\u2026 maybe she wanted the whole world to rate her performance. She is quite the athlete.<\/p>\n<p>[ Smoltz groans ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: Nothing has changed since you told me you might be heading to San Francisco. I loved when you were staying at the house. I love working with you.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: Well, so do I.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: So you know how much you mean to me.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I think so.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Yeah, I don\u2019t think I would have survived Pentonville without you. I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m gainfully employed because of you.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I\u2019m not looking for gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I know you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>Shawn: I asked if you\u2019re ready, if you wanted to give us another try. I never got your answer.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: The answer is no. And there are a hundred reasons for that. We\u2019re \u2014 we\u2019re different people. I\u2019m still mourning Neil. The timing is bad, and the most salient point is that we had our chance, and it didn\u2019t work, and to go back and \u2014 and think that there\u2019s gonna be some magic redo, it\u2019s just\u2026 you deserve better than that. We both do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: You\u2019re taking what I wrote out of context.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Am I?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yes. I was referring to the passion that Trina and i share for art history. Don\u2019t try to take it and turn it into something else just to justify what you have done.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m turning it into something else?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: You do that every time you choose to believe Trina over me, to trust her over me, to have your little stolen moments with her when you could be spending time with me. And by the way, what makes you think you know her so well anyway?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Don\u2019t tell me you two \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No, of course not. You want to know why? \u2018Cause Trina\u2019s not like that.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: But I am.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Did I say that?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I\u2019m capable of anything, right? Nothing\u2019s too low, but Trina, innocent Trina can do no wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You\u2019re overreacting.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No, I am finally calling you out with the truth. You want boring and basic? Have at it, Spence.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Have you talked to Monica?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: We\u2019ve been ships passing lately. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: She\u2019s decided to have Jason legally declared dead.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hmm. I guess it makes sense from a legal standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You don\u2019t think she\u2019d have a memorial for Jason, do you? Because he would absolutely hate that.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Totally hate it. A bunch of people sitting around saying nice things about him? Oh, my gosh. But he\u2019d tolerate it, because it\u2019s Monica, and he\u2019d want to make her happy.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You\u2019re right. You\u2019re right. He would.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Okay, you have to do me a favor.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Name it.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: We have to make a pact. If \u2014 if there is a memorial and we are forced to sit there and listen to people talk about Jason who never really knew him, you have to catch my eye. Seriously, if it looks like I\u2019m about to stand up and say something, if we\u2019re sitting next to each other, you have to kick me.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Okay, what if I\u2019m not?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, you\u2019re just gonna have to give me a signal or something. You\u2019ll have to pull your ear. You\u2019re gonna have to blink a couple times. Whatever. You just have to stop me.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: How about this? How about\u2026 [ Inhales deeply ]<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Take a breath and count to 10.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Is that good?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: That\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: [ Sighs ] Four days.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Four days, what?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: The amount of time that we were on Cassadine Island, giving me a chance to know Jason as my brother. It just came down to four days, and now I\u2019m left grieving all the things that we\u2019ll never get a chance to do.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Drew, I\u2019m so sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: What am I even talking about? I mean, that \u2014 that\u2019s nothing compared to what you\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No. Yeah, I have this big, gaping hole in my life that\u2019s never gonna be filled. But I have Jason in my heart. The way he was, the way I knew him, really knew him. I just have to realize that everyone has their own version of Jason, and I have to let them have it.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: You will. \u2018Cause it doesn\u2019t matter what their version is. You knew who Jason was, for real.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What a gift.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Harmony: I would love to be involved in Wiley\u2019s life, and not just the birthdays and holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, you just want to be involved.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: Don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah. More than anything. You\u2019re lucky you got that with Willow. I never got that with my own daughter. I never even knew who she was until it was already too late.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: That must have been crushing.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: It\u2019s a kind of loss that you never get over. You just\u2026 you learn to live with.<\/p>\n<p>Harmony: I wish there were something I could do. Well, there is something that you can do. Well, not that you owe me anything, of course. Just to be able to be close to my daughter\u2019s child, that would mean the world to me. And I truly believe that would make a difference to Wiley.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Say another word about my sister, I dare you.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: That was a stupid thing to do, Michael.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: Stupid?! It was assault!<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Let me take a look.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: This guy went all Corinthos on me and broke my face!<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, you\u2019re lucky it wasn\u2019t worse!<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: I suggest you stop talking.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Michael, can we go home now, please? City of lights, remember?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You\u2019re not going anywhere, I\u2019m afraid. Michael Corinthos, you\u2019re under arrest.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dante: I-I think what you\u2019re saying is that I\u2019ve got skills?<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Oh, is that with an \u201cS\u201d or a \u201cZ\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: It\u2019s with both.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Are these skills that I\u2019m, like, not aware of? Are they current skills?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Mm\u2026 I-I\u2019d say they\u2019re fairly \u2014 fairly current, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: I mean, if you say so.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: I do say so.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: Care to share?<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, not here.<\/p>\n<p>Sam: No? We could\u2026see what\u2019s happening at my place.<\/p>\n<p>Dante: Well, here\u2019s a preview.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: Can I give you a ride back to the Metro Court?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I\u2019m not staying at the Metro Court. Divorce papers are signed. I got the house.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: And how do you feel about that?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Conflicted [Chuckles] Of course. What else is new, right?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I don\u2019t know. I mean, the house is great. It\u2019s a fortress. I mean, I don\u2019t know if I should keep the guards. I\u2019m sure Sonny will be fine with it.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Oh, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I just don\u2019t know if that makes us more of a target. I think I\u2019m gonna have Spinelli come over and just set up a new state-of-the-art security system.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Well, I could come over and give you a full assessment if you want.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Ex-Navy SEAL over here.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, that would be great.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Good. So back to that ride.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I have my car. I\u2019m all set. I\u2019ll see you soon.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Count on it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Jordan: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Willow: M-Michael was provoked.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: \u2026In a court of law.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Did you hear what this man said about his sister?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You have the right to an attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Willow, it \u2014 it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: No, it\u2019s not!<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I\u2019ve read them to you?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: This was an attack on the first amendment. What happened to free speech, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Jordan: You spoke enough. Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Paris is gonna have to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Do you think I\u2019m worrying about Paris right now? All that matters is that you and Josslyn are okay!<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I\u2019ll tell you this much, whoever did this to my sister\u2019s going to pay.<\/p>\n<p>Smoltz: \u201cWhoever did this to my sister is gonna pay.\u201d Now there\u2019s a quote.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Wait.
