You\u2019re back.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hey. I was just out for a run. What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Well, I just wanted to follow up with you about the plan to merge ELQ and Aurora.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Okay. How can I help?<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Call it off.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: It means so much to me that you wouldn&#8217;t turn your back on me. Thank you for being so kind. I\u2019m just 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<p>Esme: My tentacles? Wow, Joss. At least my claws would have been sharp, but tentacles?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: They\u2019re slimy.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And they suck.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I know you guys don\u2019t believe this, but I do have feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, we know.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Jealousy, possessiveness. Now get lost. And next time you think about talking to my boyfriend, don&#8217;t. Because you have one of your own.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Cam, do you want me to go? See? Cam can make his own decisions. So you\u2019re just gonna have to get over the fact that Cam and Spence are on my side.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: This season, last season. This season\u2026 three seasons ago? Very unlike you, Esme. What do we have here?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: What are you thinking?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: That my mother is dead. But she wasn\u2019t my mother\u2026 \u2026and I have no idea who is.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: I didn\u2019t want this fight, Ava, but now that I\u2019m in it, I\u2019m gonna come out guns blazing and Carly\u2019s gonna hope to God that she\u2019s not in the line of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: How is it that you manage to see yourself as the victim in situations that you\u2019ve caused?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: You, Michael, and Willow backed me into a corner about Wiley. I had no choice but to fight.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You always have choices, and you always make the wrong ones.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I did everything I could to avoid a court battle. Carly, Michael and Willow forced my hand. And what is this smear campaign that you\u2019re doing about me in the press?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh, what about the feature isn\u2019t true? I mean, if anything is even a little inaccurate, I\u2019ll ask them to retract it myself. And you? She forced you into labor and then she stole your baby. How is it you\u2019re friends now?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: People change.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: All I asked, ever, was a little time with my grandson. Not even a lot. And if you just took five seconds to stop and think about it, Carly, you\u2019d see that we want the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah? What\u2019s that?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Peace.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Willow: How messed up is it that I\u2019m so sad about Harmony? I don\u2019t even know how I wound up with her, if I was stolen, if\u2026my birth parents gave me away. All I know is that Harmony carted me around all over the country from commune to ashram to cult. [ Scoffs ] And now I\u2019m sad that she\u2019s gone?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I mean, hey, she\u2019s the only mother you ever knew. Of course you\u2019re gonna be sad.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: [ Sighs ] And now I have to go to the PCPD and provide a DNA sample so they can verify Harmony\u2019s motive for killing Neil Byrne and his brother. It is\u2026 [ Exhales sharply ] It\u2019s too much.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay, just don\u2019t \u2014 don\u2019t worry about the DNA test, okay? I-I can run interference.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: You sure?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah. I mean, if the \u2014 the brother-to-brother appeal with Dante doesn\u2019t work, then there\u2019s always Diane.<\/p>\n<p>[ Knock on door ]<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hey, Alexis. What brings you by?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Hey, I can certainly understand why this might not be a good time, but I was hoping to speak to Willow\u2026 about Harmony.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: I-I\u2019m not choosing sides here, but if I did, I\u2019d have to side with Joss and Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Not choosing a side is the same as backing the bad guy.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I am sick and tired of having the same fight with you.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Then come clean. Confess. Say it was some practical joke that got out of hand and you didn\u2019t know how to handle it.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Why would I confess to something that I didn\u2019t do?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: See? You haven\u2019t changed. As for feelings, the only ones you have are for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Whatever, Joss. Your issues with me say way more about you than they ever will about me.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: 50% deflection, 50% deception, and 100% shady.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: You two enjoy feeling superior. Thanks for comforting me, Cam. It\u2019s nice to know someone around here still has a heart.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What the hell was that?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: It\u2019s not what it looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Oh, and \u2014 and now you\u2019re texting someone.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, just give me a second and I\u2019ll explain.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Cameron! Who at this moment could you possibly be texting that is more important than me and Trina?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: No label. No way to trace it. Unless\u2026 [ Inhales sharply ] Alright, Esme. What else are you hiding?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: I heard about Harmony. There\u2019s already been so much devastation.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You say that like you didn\u2019t cause any of it?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I made my share of mistakes. Mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Boy, that\u2019s your favorite word.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: And I\u2019ve hurt a lot of people because, Carly, I was hurting.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And let me guess \u2014 this is where you blame me again?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No. I understand that\u2026 Willow and Michael, they make their own decisions, but they really respect your opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: You know, it\u2019s, uh \u2014 it\u2019s getting late, so I\u2019m gonna run. Uh, unless\u2026you ladies need a referee?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, we\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Goodbye, Ava.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Carly. Sit with me. Please.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I only have a minute. I\u2019m here to check on Phyllis. I want to see how she\u2019s doing since the robbery.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I assume you heard that from Sonny.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No. I have my own sources. But if you\u2019re wondering if I talk to Sonny, the answer\u2019s yes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Um, you know, there\u2019s some things I got to take care of at the house, so I\u2019ll leave you to it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door opens ]<\/p>\n<p>Willow: So\u2026<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I am just now realizing I only planned what I was going to say through the introduction. So now we\u2019re past that.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Okay, then. I\u2019ll start.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Oh, please.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Turns out Harmony was\u2026 capable of terrible things. But that\u2019s not all she was. And for the time you had a friendship, I choose to believe that it was real. And I\u2019m\u2026 glad she had you.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I was grateful to have her as a friend, too. She came along when I really needed one. The tragedy is that she knew how to fake being a good person so well.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Well, I can\u2019t believe it was all fake.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I guess we\u2019ll never know. Seems neither of us really knew her, did we?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Esme is on her way back. Esme or not, I can\u2019t give up now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: What is going on with you lately?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: You\u2019ve been acting weird.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: What Trina said.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Like super in denial weird. And by weird, I mean, like\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Esme made a sex tape of us and shared it with the world.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: And I may be going to prison for it.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: And you\u2019re over here, like la, la, la, giving Spencer his job back?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: That was a business decision.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Hugging Esme? Was that a business decision?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I didn\u2019t hug her. She hugged me.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Cam, that is the second time I have seen her with her arms wrapped around you. Learn how to dodge.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: What do you want me to do? Do you want me to leap out of the way or slide across the counter?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Why are you making excuses to comfort her?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Okay, guys, we need to chill out.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Thank you!<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Because! Arguing like this, this is what Esme wants.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: She probably saw us heading over here and then ran like crazy to beat us just so we could walk in on her hugging Cam.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Okay, Cam, please help us understand. [ Sighs ] I get why you gave Spencer back his job, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: \u2026But why are you supporting someone who ruined all of our lives, yours included?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I\u2019m just\u2026 I\u2019m trying to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: No. The right thing would be to stay as far away from Esme and Spencer as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I gotta go.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: You do?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Yeah. Homework.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay. Before you go\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Thanks. Remember \u2014 play nice. Listen to each other. Don\u2019t let Esme win.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Did you see that? Why would you hurt Trina that way?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: Hi. I need your help. It\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: Sorry to keep you waiting. Not a problem. I\u2019m on my way to meet Sam. We\u2019re gonna discuss Scout\u2019s summer schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Oh, so you have to rush out? I do, but I\u2019m hoping to put your mind at ease first.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Well, I think you know what my concerns are.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I believe I do, Ned, and like I said, my ELQ shares are gonna revert back to me very soon. Valentin will no longer have majority, but he\u2019s still gonna own a lot of shares, so our position is in order to protect us from future takeovers, the best possible situation is for Aurora and ELQ to merge. That way Valentin\u2019s remaining shares will be even more diluted.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: And what will the leadership structure be in this new company?<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Yeah. I really think that we should wait for Michael to talk about this.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Here I am. Talk about what? You two think merging ELQ and Aurora is the best strategy to keep ELQ in the family. Now, correct me if I\u2019m wrong, if that merger goes through\u2026 I\u2019m out in the cold.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Carly, I know that you and Sonny will always be in each other\u2019s lives, but Sonny is not who we need to talk about right now.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You got that right.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: How\u2019s Willow?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: She\u2019s grieving\u2026 and heartbroken.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah. Please send her my condolences.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: No. Don\u2019t do that. Don\u2019t pretend to be concerned about Willow when you were just ranting about how she\u2019s the one who forced you to fight with my family.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I\u2019m concerned about Wiley, and Willow is Wiley\u2019s mother. So in turn, I\u2019m concerned about Willow.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah, well, fortunately, Wiley\u2019s too young to understand what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah. But did they tell him that his grandmother died? That grandma Harmony is gone?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: When and if they tell him, that will be up to Willow and Michael.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, I understand it\u2019s up to Willow and Michael, Carly, but you don\u2019t want that little boy to feel like he was abandoned by his grandmother. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to keep this from him.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Are you kidding me? Wiley is too young to process that kind of information. Kind of like when you told him that Willow wasn\u2019t his real mommy. How you hand someone that kind of information can do more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, lies can do harm, too.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Boy, yours sure did, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Alright, Carly [Clears throat] Whether Wiley knows about his grandmother dying or not, you know, he lost her. She is no longer in his life. Is it really fair for this little boy to lose another grandmother, too?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You\u2019re not doing this for Wiley. You\u2019re doing this for yourself because you can\u2019t see past your own selfishness to do what\u2019s best for him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: Trina is about to be tried for a felony, one that Esme set her up for, blowing up all of our lives in the process. It is us versus her.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, Joss, the last thing that I want to do is hurt either you or Trina.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Then what are you doing comforting the enemy?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, I told you. It\u2019s not like that.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I don\u2019t care who hugged who\u2026 but, Cam, you cannot give Esme a literal shoulder to cry on knowing who she is and what she\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Okay, look. She came in here looking for Spencer. When I told her that he wasn\u2019t here, she got all upset. What was I supposed to do?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Walk away. Let her wallow in the misery that she\u2019s created.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look, I know what Esme has done, alright? But I\u2019m sorry, Joss. I-I can\u2019t be that heartless. I\u2019m not wired like that.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Unlike me?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: So, come on. Tell me what\u2019s going on. You said it\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well\u2026 I just saw Esme at Kelly&#8217;s\u2026 \u2026crying crocodile tears on Cameron\u2019s shoulder, and he was actually comforting her.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: After everything that little demon has done to you? How dare he?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well, he did say she just threw herself in his arms and he just froze.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Uh-huh. Still, though, it\u2019s a major violation of your friendship. I hope you let him have it.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: But that\u2019s what Esme would want, right? To \u2014 to drive a wedge between the three of us?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Yeah. You\u2019re smart. That\u2019s a good point.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I mean, it just hurt me so much to see Cam and Esme like that. I could never tell him not to be nice to someone.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Why not? This is Esme we\u2019re talking about. Why should anybody be nice to her?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It\u2019s just that every time I see her, it\u2019s like she\u2019s just rubbing it in my face that she\u2019s ruining my life and getting away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: What do you mean every time? H-how often do you see her?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: I mean, she just came here the other night to see Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: [ Scoffs ] So, Spencer is having little rendezvous with his girlfriend in my gallery when he\u2019s supposed to be making restitution?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Oh, no. He was definitely surprised to see her. But don\u2019t worry. I kicked her out.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: [ Laughs ] Yeah, you did! Good for you. And as for Cameron, you have every right to feel betrayed.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Thanks, Ava. You\u2019ve had my back through all of this, and I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Of course!<\/p>\n<p>Trina: That\u2019s why I needed to meet. I need your help.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: We\u2019re keeping all of our options open in regards to leadership. Everything \u2014 everything\u2019s in the early stages still.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Realistically, how much would this merger actually dilute Valentin\u2019s shares? Aurora and ELQ are hardly on the same scale.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Okay, well, we\u2019re in the process of bulking up Aurora so that it will be as much of a merger of equals as possible, Ned.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Oh. It seems as though the two of you have given this a lot of thought for something that\u2019s still in the early stages.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: I mean, since we both run Aurora, we\u2019ve had the opportunity to discuss this a little bit more, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: So I shouldn\u2019t read anything into the fact that I wasn\u2019t a part of any of these discussions?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Willow: Michael started to suspect something was up when there was no record of my birth certificate. When Harmony miraculously obtained a copy\u2026 I didn\u2019t ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: When you lost your copy, Harmony came to me for help.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Wait. Does this mean\u2026 you\u2019ve known she wasn\u2019t my mother?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I have.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: For how long?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Willow: No, no. You know what? It \u2014 it\u2019s okay. It didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: E-except it does. You must be so angry. I-I should have said something.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Well, no, of \u2014 of course I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m angry, but as for you telling me, it wasn\u2019t your place. That was Harmony\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I tried to get her to, but she was afraid to lose you. She told me a woman on the commune in Colorado named Joan gave birth to you and then disappeared. And the leader gave you to Harmony for her and your father to raise. They were so worried that Joan would come back for you, they left the commune.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: And do you think any of that story is true?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: I love Wiley, and I deserve to be in his life.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Loving someone doesn\u2019t entitle you to anything.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, he\u2019s my family. And despite your best effort to discredit me, the judge is gonna see the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Carly. Nina. What a lovely surprise to see you both\u2026 together.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Nina and I are done. I actually I came here to see you.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Then why don\u2019t you join me at the bar while I tend to some business? Nina, will you be sticking around?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Um\u2026I just \u2014 I just need a minute. Excuse me.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I honestly didn\u2019t come here to get into it with Nina. Okay?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Oh, I believe it. Then what does bring you by?<\/p>\n<p>Carly: You know, it\u2019s been a few weeks since the attempted robbery. I just wanted to check on you, see how you were doing.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Oh, I\u2019m doing well. It\u2019s kind of you to take an interest. Just so you know, you\u2019re always welcome here.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Thank you. And I don&#8217;t\u2026expect you to choose between me and Nina. I mean, I know you\u2019re always gonna protect her.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Well, that\u2019s an instinct that never goes away. Nina was pregnant, in a coma. When someone is as helpless as she was\u2026 it\u2019s hard not to care.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: And you got roped into Madeline&#8217;s lies\u2026 lies that set Nina on a path to destruction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: Proving my innocence in court isn\u2019t gonna cut it anymore. I need to prove that Esme did this\u2026 and make her pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I\u2019m in. What can I do?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Well, Esme is obviously a master schemer. I mean, she blows up your car and now she\u2019s living with you.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Mm. Don\u2019t remind me.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: When it comes to scheming, I\u2019m clearly out of my depth. But you, on the other hand, are not. In fact, you\u2019re the only person I know that can out-scheme Esme. No offense.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Eh. None taken. In fact, I\u2019m flattered by your faith in me.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: So tell me \u2014 what should I do?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: What the hell are you doing?!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Esme? What\u2019s up?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: What are you doing, going through my personal things?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I was looking for my sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: In a shoe box?!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: While I was searching, I saw that box, and I thought that it was strange that you had kept shoes that were so out of season.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: You think you know me so well.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Don\u2019t I?!<\/p>\n<p>Esme: So, what were you doing? H-h-hoping to borrow dated heels?!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I saw the letters\u2026 from your nanny Maggie. You told me that you lost contact with her. So why is there an entire box full of her letters?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: Joss, you\u2019re not heartless. You have one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. It\u2019s just that you can really hold a grudge.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Only when people deserve it. Like Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I\u2019m angry at Esme, too.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Really? Because you seem to be in a very forgiving place with her.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Look. I haven\u2019t forgiven Esme for anything. It\u2019s just that\u2026 your anger is very fierce, but it\u2019s also proactive. You can\u2019t look at Esme without wanting to start a fight.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: My friends and my family are the most important things in the world to me. So when someone hurts them, I can\u2019t just forgive them. Is that so wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: No. I-I-I think it\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: You do?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Your ride-or-die loyalty is one of the things I love most about you. And I-I like to think that I\u2019m just that loyal. I just don\u2019t express it in the same way.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: I give you my word, Ned. Michael and my proximity at Aurora is the only reason we\u2019ve had these discussions at all.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah. Look, when \u2014 when it comes time to discuss leadership, you will be informed.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Informed? Look, Michael, up until a few days ago, I was under the assumption that when we got ELQ back from Valentin that I would be the CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yes. Yes, I know.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: So if I\u2019m to have a commensurate position in this new company, I feel like I should be a part of all the discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I agree, and \u2014 and we\u2019ll make sure that you are. It\u2019s just\u2026 it\u2019s not that simple.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: As time went on, Harmony\u2019s story didn\u2019t hold up. Then Brendon showed up in town\u2026 and you know the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: There\u2019s still so much we\u2019re not sure about.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: When Harmony first confided in me, I encouraged her to tell you the truth several times.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Why didn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: S-she was worried you would never forgive her. And if she was willing to kill to keep it a secret, well, suffice it to say, your relationship meant a lot to her.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I\u2019ve been\u2026 leaving room in my mind for the possibility that\u2026 none of this is true, that\u2026 Harmony had some kind of [Inhales sharply] Break with reality, but\u2026 now hearing you talk about how much trouble she went through to hide the truth, it\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s really sinking in. Harmony was lying to me my whole life. I feel like I\u2019ve lost my mother twice. Not to mention my father. Oh, my god. My father. I wonder if he knew what Harmony did.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Phyllis: Madeline kept a lot of secrets. I wish I\u2019d been more discerning.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, I\u2019m sure it brought Nina some comfort knowing that you were there when her baby was welcomed into the world.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Actually, I wasn\u2019t at the birth.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh. I thought you were \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: By the time I got to work, the baby had already been born. That\u2019s when Madeline gave the baby to me\u2026 to send me to deliver her to her adoptive parents.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Oh. So you weren\u2019t there when Nelle was born. Do you know who was?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: No, I don&#8217;t. Why do you ask?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carly: Nina is petitioning to visit Wiley, so, you know, uh, Nelle&#8217;s been on my mind lately.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I didn\u2019t realize it at the time, but there was a huge inheritance at stake. That\u2019s why Madeline gave Nina\u2019s baby away and tried to make sure she couldn\u2019t be traced.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Well, seems like you\u2019re the only person who knew what was going on because Madeline roped you into it.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: The one silver lining is that Nina did eventually find out the truth, even if it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: Yeah. She blames me for that every chance she gets.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: I know better than to try and sway you, but just so you know, I\u2019m rooting for Nina to be able to know her grandson.<\/p>\n<p>Carly: I figured.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Excuse me. Are you alright?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I\u2019m fine. It\u2019s just \u2014 I think I\u2019m gonna [Sniffles] I\u2019m gonna go home. It\u2019s gonna be a rough few days, and I\u2026 I need to get my head on straight.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Drew: I\u2019m not sure that we can offer you a position commensurate to CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I see.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Look, when this merger happens \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Drew: if it even happens.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yes. Close to 50% of the company\u2019s assets will be media-based, and that\u2019s not something ELQ has ever had much of a stake in.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone beeps ]<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Look, Ned, we\u2019ve got plenty of time to work this out. All the details, okay? I\u2019m so sorry. I really do have to get going.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Of course. Yeah. We\u2019ll talk later.<\/p>\n<p>Drew: Hey, trust me. You\u2019re gonna be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: I can tell you\u2019re, uh\u2026 pretty uneasy about all this.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: What was your first clue? Michael\u2026 can I be honest with you?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I have sacrificed a lot for this company. You and I have worked very hard together to regain control of ELQ from Valentin. And now we\u2019re about to get ELQ back, and I feel like I\u2019m being put out to pasture. So just tell me the truth. Am I?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Josslyn: I love everything about you, Cam, and I am so lucky to have you as a boyfriend, and I\u2019m so lucky that you\u2019re such a nice person. But Esme uses nice people, like with that hug.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I-I just don\u2019t think that she ran all the way here just so you could catch her.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay, maybe not. But the way that she touched your shoulder before leaving, that\u2019s her way of telling me, \u201cJoss, your boyfriend doesn\u2019t mind when I touch him, and there\u2019s nothing that you can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: That\u2019s just not how I see it.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay, well, how about Trina\u2019s face before she left? Is being nice to Esme worth that?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I just think given some time, Trina will understand where I\u2019m coming from.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ava: Now, you know your mother would have my head if she knew I was advising you like this.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: If it was about anyone else, maybe. But since it\u2019s Esme, I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll look the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Mm. I hope so. You know, I do have one idea, but I don\u2019t think you\u2019re gonna like it.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Try me.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Well, Esme is a jealous, possessive psychopath. And Spencer \u2014 I mean, the one good thing about Spencer is that he knows what a wonderful person you are. I mean, he basically threw her over.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Except he didn&#8217;t. Not really.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Eh, except he did. That\u2019s why Esme went after you. So take advantage of that jealousy. Goad her into making a mistake and trap her.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: So you\u2019re saying I should make a play for Spencer?<\/p>\n<p>Ava: I mean, nothing overt. Just when you know that Esme is there and she can see a little sigh here and a little tear there, and a \u201coh, no, nothing\u2019s wrong.\u201d Before you know it, Spencer\u2019s arms will be around you and \u2014 and hers will be around his throat.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Sighs ] No. Spencer is back with Esme. He\u2019s not gonna respond to me flirting with him.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Spencer loves your attention! He will fall for it. And it\u2019ll push Esme just far enough over the edge that she\u2019ll lash out and incriminate herself.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It\u2019s tempting.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: But?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Chuckles ] I don\u2019t think I can take it that far.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Hey, Trina, not to put too fine a point on it, but you\u2019re in serious trouble here. I mean, don\u2019t you want to do whatever you can to avoid a trial?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: There is something that could help. Something\u2026 that I\u2019ve been keeping to myself. But before I tell you what it is, this is a last resort.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Understood. What is it?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: I kept all of Maggie\u2019s old letters. Congratulations, Spence. You\u2019ve uncovered my deep, dark secret. I\u2019m sentimental. But please don\u2019t tell anybody! I beg of you!<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Who would believe me?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Okay, your turn. Why are you in my room violating my privacy when you\u2019re supposed to be on a grocery run for Kelly&#8217;s?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I blow off work all the time. You, on the other hand, told me that you lost touch with Maggie long before you met me. But that letter directly indicates otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, my god. So I reached out to Maggie a couple of times over the years. Why am I the one being interrogated when you\u2019re the one who\u2019s going through my stuff? I thought we were rebuilding our relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Esme, we are.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Really? Because it feels like you still don\u2019t trust me.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I feel like it\u2019s the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Wait, what?<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Well, it\u2019s just that lately I\u2019ve been feeling like you don\u2019t trust me.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Of course I trust you! Though you\u2019re giving me plenty of reasons not to.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: Such as?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Going through my things. When you found that box, exactly what did you think you\u2019d find inside?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Spencer: Esme, honestly, I don\u2019t know what I was looking for. I just feel that I don\u2019t know you as well as I thought. And I wanted to find out what I didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Why not just ask me? I mean, we used to talk about everything. If we\u2019re gonna get bach to what we had, then we need to be honest about everything. Completely transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer: I agree. Why don\u2019t we start with this? [ Clears throat ] Why did Maggie write, \u201cNo good from you having contact with your father?\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Trina: If I use what I know, there\u2019ll be collateral damage. I don\u2019t want anyone getting hurt except Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: So this secret weapon&#8230;it could set you free?<\/p>\n<p>Trina: It\u2019s not a slam dunk, but it might be my best shot. And I\u2019ll use it if I have to. I\u2019d just rather not.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: So you don\u2019t want to flirt with Spencer, and you don\u2019t want to use this ace in the hole because somebody else might get hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Hmm<\/p>\n<p>Trina: [ Sighs ] I may be an even worse schemer than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Hmm. You\u2019re pretty terrible at it. But you know what? I\u2019m proud of you for that.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Why? It\u2019s embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>Ava: \u2018Cause, you\u2019re a good person. You don\u2019t go to Esme\u2019s level, or mine.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Ava&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ava: Hey, don\u2019t&#8211;I\u2019m not ashamed of my level. Hardly. And I\u2019m proud to be your go-to schemer. And listen to me. If you ever find yourself trapped into doing something that you don\u2019t want to do, come to me and we will figure out another way to get Esme.<\/p>\n<p>Trina: Thanks, Ava. I\u2019m so glad to have you in my corner.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Cameron: We\u2019re just&#8230;very different people.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Well, I think that our differences have always made us stronger as friends and as a couple.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Right. And just so you know, I love everything that makes you you.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: I feel the same way about you. I mean, obviously, I don\u2019t love how nice you can be to Esme. She doesn\u2019t deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: I-It&#8217;s less about being nice and more&#8230;me not wanting to escalate things.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Okay. So&#8230; we\u2019ll just agree to disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: Not the first time, and definitely won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: It\u2019s just&#8230; this is about our different approaches to conflict, right?<\/p>\n<p>Cameron: What else would it be? I have to get back to work, but&#8230; we\u2019re cool, right?<\/p>\n<p>Josslyn: Yeah, we\u2019re fine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Look, I understand your concern, but nobody\u2019s trying to drive you out.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: I sense a \u201cbut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Look, objectively, this merger is the best option to ensure that our family maintains control of ELQ again.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Mm. Objectively.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Nothing has been decided. Okay, we\u2019re still leaving the door open to all possibilities, and you\u2019ll have an active part in the discussions of how to move forward. Okay? So, hey, try not to worry too much.<\/p>\n<p>Ned: Sure. Anything for the family.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: I\u2019m so sorry, but Harmony never mentioned your father. I guess we\u2019ll never know. It\u2019s late. I should go.<\/p>\n<p>Willow: Well, um, thank you for \u2013 for coming by and trying to&#8230; make things better.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: For whatever good it did. Any idea what\u2019s next for you?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I need answers. I need to know where I came from and who my biological parents are. The first step is&#8230; getting that DNA test at the PCPD. Because bringing the truth to light\u2026 it\u2019s the only way to heal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Thank you, Phyllis. As always.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Of course. You know I always have your back.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Willow\u2019s been through the wringer. Can the DNA test wait?<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Call me tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Phyllis: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Carly.<\/p>\n<p>On the next \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Laura (to Nikolas): I\u2019d say that you were defending her.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer (to Esme): I have something very special in store for you.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Elizabeth believes she\u2019s being haunted.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: What if it\u2019s not him?<\/p>\n<p>Willow: I need to go somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: And I\u2019m prepared to go all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Drew (to Carly): I can\u2019t be that guy for you.<\/p>\n<p>Michael (to Sonny): Here\u2019s your chance to say that Nina was wrong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/18\/general-hospital-transcripts\/\">Back to the GH Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6113\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ghanim.gif\" alt=\"GH cast animated GIF\" width=\"136\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Hospital Transcript Transcript provided by Suzanne Proofread by Anita Ned: Oh, good.
