He figured out it was a ruse to run some kind of background check and\u2026 and that\u2019s why he left town. Am I right?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Yeah. And he was not too happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: I don\u2019t blame him. So what\u2019s your plan?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: My plan?<\/p>\n<p>TJ: To find grandpa and bring him back?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: I cost Nina her daughter? Have you forgotten your big plan to pass Sasha off as Nina\u2019s daughter? Have you forgotten how hurt she was? Hell, I almost felt sorry for Nina at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019ve never claimed to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And you were the one who met with Nina\u2019s mother, right? If you would have told Nina the truth at the start, I\u2019m sure your search would have led to Nelle. In my opinion, I think it was a gift. You spared Nina the nightmare of trying to be a mother to Nelle, who was broken and dangerous. But I doubt Nina feels that way. So, if you ask me, if anyone\u2019s responsible for costing Nina a relationship with her daughter, it\u2019s you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chet: Is this seat taken?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Teal shirt. So far, I\u2019m not disappointed at all.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Oh. Neither am I.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Same shirt, same opening lines. Is this Valentine\u2019s d\u00e9j vu?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Nope. And I\u2019m not the mistaken date. I am the real deal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: I\u2019m so glad that you suggested this instead of hitting the gym. I am so tight, and I need to stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: My mom swears by this class. I\u2019m just glad we got here early. Fewer people, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, I\u2019m so glad you decided to come with me. I could use all the support I could get whipping myself back into shape so that I\u2019m a beast by volleyball season.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You\u2019ll be unstoppable.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Thank you. I hope so. I just can\u2019t wait to get my life back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I know the feeling. [ Sighs ] When this trial is over, I\u2019ve grabbing life and I\u2019m going for it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: What?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Now that you\u2019ve learned how to bus tables, where are we with Esme? Have you dug anything up?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: You know, these things, they have to be finessed. It takes time.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look. I have been covering for you and lying to Joss. I need to know that the hell that I\u2019ve been catching is worth it. I mean, is this plan to exonerate Trina even working?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: As much as I wish I could say yes, I\u2026 I haven\u2019t found anything yet. I haven\u2019t \u2014 I haven\u2019t uncovered anything about Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: And I thought you were the master of stealth. You used to be good at sneaking around.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I know, I know. But Esme is brilliant at covering her tracks. Even her secrets have secrets.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: \u201cDear Esme, I was so glad to get your letter with all your good news, winning prizes at school and a big circle of friends. Your life in Port Charles sounds like a success. I\u2019m especially glad to hear that you and Spencer are happy and closer than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Hey. Sorry. I\u2019m so sorry. Time just got away from me. I was strategizing with Scott about my visitation hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh. Sounds like Scott has learned his lesson. No more sneak attacks like in Pennsylvania?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, he definitely learned his lesson. This time when he goes after Willow, it\u2019ll be on my orders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Terry: To talking IRL. Welcome home.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: To finally making this happen.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: How was your trip back?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Are you as nervous as I am?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Oh. [ Laughs ] You first.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: After you. Okay. Is this how it\u2019s gonna be like all night?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: We did better texting. Maybe we should pull out our phones?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Well, then we\u2019d be looking down all evening. I wouldn\u2019t be able to look into those beautiful eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Was that cheesy?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: But effective.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Carly, it would be nice if we didn\u2019t have to litigate the past.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Great. But you started it.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I am just suggesting it would benefit everyone if you and Nina were to set aside your differences.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: \u201cDifferences.\u201d Is that what we\u2019re calling it?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019m not defending the choices that Nina\u2019s made. I am simply appealing to your compassionate side.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: What makes you think that I would have one ounce of compassion for Nina?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Because you have everything Nina\u2019s ever wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Really? Last I checked, she has my husband.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: I have nothing against you playing hardball where your grandson is concerned. But you\u2019re gonna go after Willow? Now? Didn\u2019t her mom just die?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, um, I don\u2019t mean to sound callous. I really don\u2019t. What I meant by that was I\u2019m just ready to fight. I don\u2019t have a choice. Willow and Michael, they shot at me first.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh, so, was that first shot the feature in the invader or the charges in Pennsylvania?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: [ Stammers ] How do you know about the feature?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, that reporter \u2014 the Smoltz? Smeltz? Wha\u2013 he reached out to me for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Why would he reach out to you about my petition for visitation with Wiley?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh, no, Nina. No, it wasn\u2019t about Wiley. It was about Avery\u2026 and how she was born.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: I mean, Esme\u2019s good at covering her tracks? Couldn\u2019t see that one coming. Duh.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Nice. How\u2019d you get into college with such a rudimentary vocabulary?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: How do you function with such lackluster critical-thinking skills? Maybe I was wrong to trust you that you can handle Esme. You\u2019ve been in over your head this entire time.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Not always. Just recently. I\u2019ve been trying to get her to trust me so that she\u2019ll confess, but I don\u2019t think that I\u2019m giving her everything that she wants.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: What more could she want?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Intimacy.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Wait. So you\u2019re saying \u201cMr. I\u2019m gonna give you sex advice that I don\u2019t want\u201d \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Yes, bro. That\u2019s what I\u2019m saying. My girlfriend wants to have sex with me, and I\u2019m running out of ways to avoid it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: \u201cSpencer seems to be good for you. Don\u2019t let him go. I\u2019m also relieved to hear that you aren\u2019t pursuing a relationship with your biological father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[ Boxes thumping ]<\/p>\n<p>Esme: \u201cYou are smart and industrious. Use those gifts for good, Esme. Continue to focus on school and Spencer. Most of all, be happy. Love, Maggie.\u201d Don\u2019t worry, Maggie. I intend to be happy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Trina, enjoying the view of Officer Invisible?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Officer Cabrera.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Right. I wonder what he\u2019s doing here.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Um\u2026 probably just taking a yoga class. I-I mean, he was obviously here before us.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Hmm. Okay, well, you know, I just want to make sure that you\u2019re comfortable, you know, being around him and everything. The police, they\u2019re still investigating and they\u2019re trying to prove that you did something you didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Scoffs ] No. Officer Cabrera\u2019s not like that.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yeah, I guess. I mean, he seemed okay that day at the courthouse. Not so much when arresting Cameron.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, he can arrest Spencer any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I just want to make sure that he\u2019s not harassing you.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: No, he isn&#8217;t. I mean, I nearly pepper-sprayed him at the gallery, but he was cool about it.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I mean, he told me the reason why he arrested Cam is because Commissioner Ashford wants everything by the book. And because he\u2019s a rookie. I guess he\u2026overcompensated.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I guess. And Cam did completely lose his head with Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Don\u2019t act like you didn\u2019t love when your man came to your defense.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay. It was hot.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Trina: TMI.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: But it looks like I\u2019m not the only one who recognizes hotness. Looks like Officer Cabrera is not so invisible anymore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: I have no plans to go after Marshall. The man wants to be gone. That\u2019s his prerogative.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: You can\u2019t mean that.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I can. And I do. Why would I go against his wishes?<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Well, you didn\u2019t have any problems going against his wishes before.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Okay. Sound like you have something you want to say.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: You know I respect you, Uncle Curtis, and I realize that he\u2019s your father, not mine.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: TJ, okay. If you\u2019re gonna go in on me about the methods I used, Portia already did and so did your mom.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: No, it\u2019s not only your methods. It\u2019s the fact that since \u2014 since \u2014 since Marshall let it be known who he was, you have called all the shots. You even asked me to steer clear, and at first, I complied.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Just trying to protect my family.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: You have always been the head of this family, and I respect that. But now that you know the truth, was it worth losing the one chance you had with your father?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Terry: Your trip sounded like a success.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Yeah, it was. We were able to do a lot of good for the vets.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Was it hard going back?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: At first. Working with the wounded veterans always brings me right into that place \u2014 in pain, uncertain of the future. But one of the guys came up to me and told me that seeing me thrive after my injuries, it showed him what was possible. So because of guys like him, I keep going back.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: That\u2019s incredible. How affirming.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Yeah. For them and for me. I\u2019m not gonna lie. They\u2019ll have to clear some hurdles, have to believe in themselves, not give up, and do the work. But they can clear those hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Like you have.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Yeah, well, it\u2019s still not that easy. In fact\u2026 can I make a confession?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: So, you\u2019re saying that you and Esme have not had sex since Spring Ridge?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019ve been trying to string her along, but I don\u2019t want to have sex with her, especially not after she framed and betrayed my best friends.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Dude.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: But I can\u2019t get her to open up. I don\u2019t know. It must be the lack of sex, right?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: You think?! I mean, the way you guys were all over each other before? Did you at least search her stuff?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I\u2019ve been trying to, but she\u2019s always around. At first, it was because she was hiding from Uncle Sonny, but now she basically times leaving the house with whenever I\u2019m going to work or the gallery. I mean, I can\u2019t shake her. If I\u2019m \u2014 if I\u2019m sneezing, Esme\u2019s there to say, \u201cgesundheit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Well, then, we\u2019re out of options. If you can\u2019t search her belongings and she won\u2019t confess, that only leaves one choice.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Don\u2019t say it, dude.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: You have to tell Joss and Trina the truth.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rory: How\u2019s it going? You guys here for the next class? I was in the previous one, but I wanted to stretch out a little more.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: We came early. We were hoping that you would come say hi.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Is it safe or are you armed again?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Just with good looks, intelligence, and charm. Trina is the full package.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I-I didn\u2019t know you were into yoga. Or are you here on an assignment?<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Uh, off duty, ma\u2019am. It\u2019s my day off. In fact, I spent the afternoon at The Chuck.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh. Having lunch on the front steps or\u2026?<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Uh, no, I actually went inside this time.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Hm! I rented one of those audio guides, but it wasn\u2019t as good as the Jerome Gallery. I couldn\u2019t ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, well, next time, ask Trina. She is an expert.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Hardly an expert. I mean, Officer Cabrera couldn\u2019t even really seek out my opinion on art, not while I\u2019m facing a trial.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Why not? He\u2019s not your arresting officer. Okay. Um, I\u2019m gonna just \u2014 I\u2019m gonna put our bags away.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m sorry about that.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Oh. Don\u2019t be. Your friend\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Even if we were to put Sonny in Nina\u2019s column of assets, look at everything she doesn\u2019t have. She doesn\u2019t have children. She has no relationship with her grandchild. She has a few friends, but nothing like the roots in the community that you have. Even her office space is at your mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I\u2019m happy to let Nina out of her lease at Crimson. I\u2019m sure she can afford the penalty. She has no problem coming up with the money to buy herself out of all of her legal difficulties. And she has defenders like you who trip over themselves running to her rescue every time she chips a fingernail. Nina\u2019s no victim!<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Carly, Nina has been exploited by almost everyone who has ever claimed to care for her. And before you say anything, yes, I\u2019m including myself on that list. The least I can do is come to her defense.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Who hasn\u2019t been exploited?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I get that. And I\u2019m not minimizing what has happened to you. But you\u2019re strong. And you have a huge heart. Can you really tell me there\u2019s no part of you that\u2026 feels for Nina?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Don\u2019t know why that reporter would dredge all that up again. T-this is Michael, Willow, and Carly\u2019s doing. Do you see now what I am dealing with?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: In all fairness, Nina\u2026 it is public record. Everything you did. The forced labor\u2026 kidnapping Avery, taking her to Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Please. I was a different person.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Yeah, that\u2019s right. You were. I\u2019m just warning you that Diane Miller is definitely gonna bring it up in court and that the judge will likely find it kind of pertinent.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I was just \u2014 I w-wasn\u2019t in my right mind. Um\u2026 I\u2019ve worked a lot on myself, you know? So what did you tell the reporter?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Nothing. I didn\u2019t tell him anything. I\u2019m not gonna talk. The only time I\u2019m gonna talk is in court if I\u2019m called to testify on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Thank you. Yeah, because Wiley lost a grandmother last night. He can\u2019t lose another one.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: What about Wiley\u2019s grandfather? Is Sonny still hands-off?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I made it very clear to Scott that he is not to question Sonny on the stand.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, that\u2019s not really what I meant. The last time we talked, you said that you were trying to resist temptation when it comes to Sonny. So how\u2019s that going?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Nina\u2019s been hurt badly? So what? Many of us have endured trauma. Carrying on isn\u2019t a miracle. It\u2019s called life.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And you are fortunate. You have multiple safety nets. You have your mother, your brother, your children, your friends. Nina really only has three people that she can count on. She\u2019s got Phyllis. She\u2019s got Wiley \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: That is a relationship that is very important to her.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Right. Who Sonny chooses to love is his business. It\u2019s not Wiley\u2019s job to be Nina\u2019s emotional support.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Phyllis is highly protective of Nina. Do you really think that she would give her that loyalty if Nina didn\u2019t deserve it?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Phyllis nursed Nina when she was in a coma and pregnant, right? Was Phyllis there when Nina gave birth?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Why on earth would you need to know that?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: There\u2019s nothing going on with me and Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Nothing? Nothing at all?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: We danced.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Is that a euphemism?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Would you st\u2013 why is your mind always in the gutter?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I know. I can\u2019t help it. I\u2019m just being coy. And tell me, are you and Sonny an item or what?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Mnh! Hey, Amy. How you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Amy: Oh, hi. I\u2019m terrible, thanks. And you?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh. I\u2019m sorry to hear about that.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: All I wanted was a day off. Is that a crime?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I\u2019m not sure we\u2019re the ones to arbitrate what constitutes a crime.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, I hope the rest of your day goes better, and you just let me know if there\u2019s anything I can do, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Amy: I\u2019m so glad you asked.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chet: On valentine\u2019s day, I knew you hadn\u2019t clocked my prosthetic legs, and I should have told you that evening, but I chose not to because we were having such a nice time. Instead, I chose to tell you through text, which was nerve-racking and a bit dishonest.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I didn\u2019t feel it was dishonest. Why didn\u2019t you tell me that night? Did you think I\u2019d be turned off?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: It\u2019s happened before.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I\u2019m sorry some people are like that. I wasn\u2019t turned off. If anything, I was in awe of your bravery. And I understand why you\u2019d want to hold back disclosing deeply personal matters at first. After all, we barely knew each other\u2019s names. We didn\u2019t know we\u2019d keep in touch like we have or form any kind of\u2026 relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Were you nervous when you told me?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Terrified. That\u2019s how I knew I really liked you. I\u2019ve worked hard to be proud of who I am and the many challenges I\u2019ve navigated to live my truth, truly be who I\u2019m meant to be. But I have to admit, I would have been devastated if you decided dating a trans woman was a deal breaker.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Missing out on you would have been my loss.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: And mine, if I had rejected you because you don\u2019t have the legs you were born with.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Well, I know our situations aren\u2019t the same. I don\u2019t have to worry about violence against me or actual laws being passed to curtail my rights. But I do worry about not being seen.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: It\u2019s everything, right? All people want is to be seen for their individual inherent beauty and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: And be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: And loved. If it\u2019s in the cards.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rory: If you would have been with me at the chuck, I might have understood what I was looking at.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well, first of all, I told you, art is subjective. And, secondly, that\u2019s what docents are for.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: And, third of all, I have no idea what a docent is.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Um, but you were partially right before. As an officer, I\u2019m not allowed to socialize with anyone who\u2019s the subject of an active investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well, then maybe you shouldn\u2019t be talking to me in public.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Well, there\u2019s no rule against me bumping into you, which is what happened. Besides, when you beat those charges\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Trina: If I beat them.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: You will.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: Sometimes it takes a village to bring down a lying snake. Trina and Joss can help us.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: No offense, but your girlfriend\u2019s a hothead. She can\u2019t stand Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Neither can anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Okay, but my point is that if Esme pushes the right buttons, Joss is gonna come out swinging and blow everything up. Look, I know I can do this. I just need more time.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: We don\u2019t have time. Okay? With each passing day, Trina\u2019s trial date comes closer, and without another suspect, the worse it\u2019ll look for her.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Hey, no one wants to help Trina more than me.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: There\u2019s got to be a loose end out there. Somewhere there\u2019s physical evidence linking Esme to the crime and incriminates her. You just have to find it.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: When? Esme and I are always together.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I don\u2019t see her now.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: She went to a yoga class. Trust that in about an hour she\u2019s gonna walk through that door just in time for me to finish my shift.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Well, then go. I will stall Esme.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: It\u2019s true \u2014 Marshall suddenly appearing into my life, it, um, raised a lot of feelings.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: And I can understand that. But going against his wishes and investigating his past, that didn\u2019t only affect you.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: T, I had to investigate. I had to know if he was bringing danger to you, to Aunt Stella, to Portia, to all the people I love.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: So you actively investigate until you find something?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I had to know.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Okay. And now that you do know\u2026 what did it cost you? Was it worth it? Because it wasn\u2019t worth it to me. I was just getting to know my grandfather, and he left town without saying a word to me.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Well, goodbyes aren\u2019t his strong suit.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Marshall had his faults, but he was making an effort. He was making an effort with you. He was making an effort with me\u2026 Epiphany, Stella, even Portia and Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I know.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: So I, for one, I\u2019m gonna miss him.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: I know.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: And I know you didn\u2019t talk to me about it, but did you consult with Stella before investigating his past?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Aunt Stella found out that I was digging into Marshall\u2019s past, and she asked me to leave it alone.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Uncle, I wish you would have listened to stella because now we have all lost our contact with him.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: But, T, you don\u2019t get it. This was Marshall\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: No, no. You made a unilateral decision to protect us without our buy-in. That is your choice, and now we just \u2014 we just have to live with it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Terry: Tell me about your job at the gym.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Well, it\u2019s not saving lives like you are, but it\u2019s pretty cool watching people come in and work on themselves, getting stronger, surpassing expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Must be so gratifying helping people achieve their personal goal.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: It is.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Chet: It\u2019s also a constant reminder for me to keep setting my own.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: What\u2019s your biggest goal?<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Right now, it\u2019s impressing you. How am I doing?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Amy: Who is dr. Randolph to dictate whether I can get a manicure or not?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: It does seem like a bit of an overreach.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: Or how to store patient files?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, that part seems to be in her purview.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: I\u2019m sick of it. She\u2019s singling me out. I deserve respect, too.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yes! Well, how would Man Landers advise?<\/p>\n<p>Amy: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I haven\u2019t given professional advice in years.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, but, Amy, you still have the insight, wisdom, and wit. Come on. What would Man Landers advise two women who were having friction at work?<\/p>\n<p>Amy: I\u2019d start by telling the innocent woman to get a drink. The stronger, the better. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Nice try. But at least the woman she\u2019s at odds with is at work. I wonder what Man Landers would advise when the conflict is at home.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Uh-oh. I have a feeling you\u2019re speaking about yourself. What other woman do you have friction with?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Oh, she\u2019s not a woman. No, no, no. This is a treacherous teenaged she-devil.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rory: My saying that you\u2019ll beat those charges doesn\u2019t undermine my objectivity as an officer of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Of course not, Officer Cabrera.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: I thought I told you you could call me Rory.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I thought that was only if I called you.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: [ Chuckles ] I gotta run.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Leaving so soon?<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Yeah. I\u2019ll see you around.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Hm.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, my God. Could you be more obvious?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I was just speeding things along. It\u2019s pretty clear that you guys are into each other.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: The guy\u2019s a cop, Joss. He\u2019s friendly. But that\u2019s as far as it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Maybe I can ask Dante if he\u2019s single.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Don\u2019t you dare.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Why not? Trina, there are worse people to crush on.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Like Spencer? Are you trying to hook me up with Rory to keep me away from Spencer?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: \u201cRory,\u201d huh? Look, I just want you to be with somebody who\u2019s worthy of you, one who isn\u2019t needy and selfish and entitled, one who is unattached and can reciprocate your feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You don\u2019t have to worry. I kicked Spencer and Esme out of the gallery just the other night.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What? Why were they even there?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Spencer was there to work on his restitution. And, of course, Esme followed him like a creepy, jealous parasite.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Why are you asking about the day Nina gave birth?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Because it occurs to me that Phyllis may have a soft spot for Nina because she feels guilty about the role she played in giving Nina\u2019s baby away.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And you think guilt is the only thing that motivates loyalty?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: It\u2019s the way Nina motivated Harmony to talk to Michael and Willow about visitation with Wiley.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And why did Harmony feel guilty where Nina was concerned?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Harmony felt guilty about many things. It makes sense that she would try to redeem herself any way she could.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And why does Sonny feel guilty?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You got me there. Sonny spent months lying to me, so I have no idea why he\u2019s so fascinated with Nina. Maybe it\u2019s Stockholm Syndrome.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Hi! Cameron! Is, uh, Spence around?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Uh, no. Actually, he, um\u2026 our supplier forgot to get enough milk this morning, so I sent him on a grocery run.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Do you think it\u2019ll be long? There\u2019s something I can\u2019t wait to tell him.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I mean, it\u2019ll take as long as it takes, but would you like to order something in the meantime while you wait?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: No. Thanks. Um, just tell him I came by and I\u2019ll see him at home, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Oh! You know\u2026 hold up just a minute.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Camera shutter clicks ]<\/p>\n<p>[ Camera shutter clicks ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: [ Exhales sharply ] Of course, it won\u2019t be that easy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, maybe officer handsome can help us.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I think you know he can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Why? Because he\u2019s all about truth and justice? Right? Well, Esme is all about lying and criminal behavior. And he has resources.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Okay, I\u2019m going to stop you right there. It\u2019s not fair to put Rory in that position.<\/p>\n<p>Rory: Good night, ladies.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I\u2019m not going to ask him to help. Esme has ruined enough lives as it is.<\/p>\n<p>Joss: Okay, well, I don\u2019t really feel like doing yoga anymore. So do you want to go get a milkshake?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Yeah. Sure. Let\u2019s get out of here.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I need something to take my mind off of everything that\u2019s happened. I mean, Trina, you\u2019ve been arrested, Cam and I are on shaky ground, and this sex tape is gonna follow us around forever. I mean, what if future employers do an internet search on me and that pops up?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Wha\u2013 I thought that hacker guy took it off.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yeah, but you never know.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I know what we\u2019re up against. I just don\u2019t know what to do about it except\u2026 learn to live with it.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: No. That is the last thing that we should do. Esme set us both up. She violated my privacy and she stole a very intimate moment of mine and framed you for it. Esme brought this fight to us, and now we\u2019re gonna take it to her.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: How?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: She made a mistake. I don\u2019t know what or when, but there has to be evidence out there that proves that she\u2019s guilty, and we\u2019re gonna find it. And when we do, Esme prince is going to prison where she belongs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: Look, I think that we need to clear the air.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: [ Sighs ] I don\u2019t want to do this. I know that you and Joss believe I\u2019m a terrible person.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: And I know I said things\u2026 but you need to understand. Trina is Josslyn\u2019s best friend, and Joss is my girlfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I get it. You\u2019ll always have Joss\u2019 back, even when she\u2019s wrong. And I just wish I had a boyfriend who was as loyal as you are.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: W-what are you talking about? You\u2019re all Spencer thinks about.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Then why did he waffle on my innocence even after Trina made those crazy accusations that aren\u2019t even true?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: This whole situation is complicated, a-and Spencer\u2019s been all over the place. I mean, he even went as far to accuse me, Trina, and Joss being in on it all together. That\u2019s why we got into that fight.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Really? Spence accused all of you? I-I mean, it\u2019s absolute rubbish. I know that you and Joss would never.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, the point is that Spencer\u2019s got your back. Don\u2019t turn away from him now. Don\u2019t sweat it. Alright? This will all work out for the best.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: You really believe that.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I\u2019m counting on it. For both my sake and Joss\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Thanks. I just \u2014 I feel so alone. I mean, Spence\u2019s father\u2019s done his best to be a good host, but\u2026 I miss having friends. Like you, Cam. I always felt you kept an open mind about me. I\u2019m sorry we got off track.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: It doesn\u2019t matter what anyone else thinks about you. I will always treat you in the way that you deserve, Esme.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Terry: Well, you\u2019re no Tanner.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Oh, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chet: That mystic phony bragging about \u201cvibrating at a higher frequency\u201d when he was really\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Just a broke, misogynistic blowhard.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Well, at least he set the bar low. It shouldn\u2019t be too hard to surpass him.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I\u2019ll give you my review on our second date. That is, if you\u2019re gonna\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Chet: My answer is an unequivocal yes to a second date.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Thanks for the save. This has been so much fun, it almost made me forget my morning.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Hard day at work?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I\u2019ve had worse. Just a dustup with a colleague. I do not want to get into personal pettiness at G.H.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: I thought you worked at Mercy?<\/p>\n<p>Terry: I\u2019ve been consulting at Mercy, but I\u2019m on staff at G.H.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Oh, really? My sister works at G.H.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Small world!<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Yeah, maybe you know her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Don\u2019t tell me Esme is acting inappropriately.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: When is she ever appropriate? She\u2019s ingratiating herself with Nikolas. Nikolas is so desperate to seem like a hero in Spencer\u2019s eyes that he\u2019s \u2014 he\u2019s blind to her manipulations. And I tell you what. It\u2019s taking a toll.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Ohh. And \u2014 and Nikolas doesn\u2019t recognize how unhappy you are?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: He does. He knows now, now that I\u2019ve canceled our vow-renewal ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh. I\u2019m sorry, Ava.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Ehh. Just never have a stepson. Although, you know, if \u2014 if you were to ever marry Sonny, you\u2019d have two stepsons and you\u2019d have three stepdaughters. And I would love that. Can you just picture Carly having to pick up donna from you?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I think we\u2019re getting a little ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Maybe you should. I mean, it\u2019s possible, right? And you\u2019re going pretty hard on Michael and Willow. Someday they could be family, too.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I don\u2019t care. I\u2019m coming at Michael and Willow with everything I got.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Curtis: So, I thought Marshall was, uh \u2014 I thought he was on the run from a dangerous criminal element.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: So then he wasn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: No. He never ran afoul of the mob. And he was never in witness protection.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: Alright. So t-then what happened?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: He was arrested in a protest that got out of control. And instead of being sentenced to prison, the judge remanded him to a mental facility.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: How long was he there? What\u2019s his diagnosis?<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: The records I had access to didn\u2019t say. And, you know, Marshall wasn\u2019t about to tell me.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: There is a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, and for a man Marshall\u2019s age, it\u2019s even worse. Uncle, it\u2019s no surprise he took off. He feels you violated his privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Hey. I\u2019m not gonna apologize for trying to protect us.<\/p>\n<p>TJ: And I am not asking you to apologize. I respect your choice. I just hope that you will respect mine.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis: Which is?<\/p>\n<p>TJ: I\u2019m not ready to give up on Marshall. I intend to find him and bring him back.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chet: I know G.H. Has tons of people, but you might know her.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: A name would help. And while we\u2019re at it, I suppose we should get around to our last names. I\u2019m dr. Terry Randolph.<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Yeah, we covered a lot of ground but skipped the basics. Dr. Randolph, I\u2019m Chet Driscoll.<\/p>\n<p>Terry: Driscoll. And your sister is\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Chet: Same last name. Amy Driscoll. Do you know her?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Julie: Amy.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: Hi, Julie. Small world.<\/p>\n<p>Julie: I just saw your brother in the metro court gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: That doesn\u2019t sound like Chet. What was he doing there?<\/p>\n<p>Julie: Meeting our boss for drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: Our boss?<\/p>\n<p>Julie: Dr. Randolph. They seemed to be having a great time.<\/p>\n<p>Amy: [ Softly ] No.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Camera shutter clicks ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: This season. Last season. This season. Three seasons ago. Very unlike you, Esme. What do we have here?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: It means so much that you wouldn\u2019t turn your back on me. Thank you for being so kind. I\u2019m just so glad you\u2019re your own man.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: No. He\u2019s my man. And you have about five seconds to get your tentacles off of him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: If you go after Carly\u2019s son, she will rip your throat out.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, he\u2019s still walking around, isn\u2019t he? He\u2019s still alive. She let my daughter fall to her death. She could have saved her. She\u2019s not gonna take away my grandson, too. I didn\u2019t want this fight, Ava. But now that I\u2019m in it, I\u2019m gonna come out guns blazing.
