The minute that you get this message, I want an update. You call me. Do you understand? I mean, you\u2019re her guardian. The police must be telling you if there\u2019s any updates on Sasha. Call me.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: That\u2019s why I\u2019m here. I need to know exactly what is going on with Sasha.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Blair: Hello, sweetheart. Well, aren\u2019t you gonna be a gentleman and invite me to have a seat?\u00a0 Don\u2019t mind if I do. Thank you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Elizabeth: I hope all these patients know how lucky they are to have your help.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I\u2019m the lucky one. At my age to have the most fulfilling job of my life\u2026 it\u2019s pretty special.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: You know, 6 out of these 11 patients have the same doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: You always want the best doctor you can get. And sometimes, these complicated cases take the total focus of the doctors, and the patients can be a little intimidated by some of the doctors.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: You mean like not ask all the questions that they need answers to?<\/p>\n<p>Stella: And that\u2019s where I come in. Hopefully, I give them the answers they need. You can see that Dr. Bronson has to deal with all kinds of neurological complications and incurable conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Like ALS.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: Everything all right, Esme?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Uh, yes, yes. Um, I was just arranging some things for Alexis.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: [ Chuckling ] Oh, good luck with that. She has her own very random system of order. Do you need any of my help?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Uh, no, thank you, um\u2026 is there anything I can help you with, Professor Chase?<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Uh, Alexis left a message that she\u2019d be here for a while. I was hoping to catch her. It\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s late. Shouldn\u2019t you be getting home?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Um, it\u2019s actually why I was finding some more work to do. I don\u2019t exactly want to go home yet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: Got your favorite. Brook Lynn. What is it?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I got fired.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: What?! But Maxie was in such high spirits when she came by earlier today.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: She\u2019s too nice to involve you.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I am so sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I\u2019m not even upset about the job. I\u2019m upset because I lost my best friend.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Finn: I hope Molly and Kristina can work through their problem.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Oh, so you figured it was the two of them, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: I just got the impression it wasn\u2019t Sam.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: [ Chuckles ] True. The two of them are driving me crazy, by the way, but I know I need to let them work it out on their own. You didn\u2019t share. Are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: I\u2019m just trying to honor my father\u2019s wishes.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I admire that.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Yeah, well, Dad wants to go on like everything is normal.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Well, at least he finally told Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: No, he didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Anna, listen to me. Whoever got in here \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Anna: What?! Is trying to get to me?! Well, it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Blair: You weren\u2019t even gonna say hello, Marty?<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Forgive me. I didn\u2019t see you, Blair.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Oh, you saw me all right.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Trish. Excuse me. Could I please get \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Another, and I will have what I was having over there before, please.<\/p>\n<p>Trish: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: What are you doing here, Blair?<\/p>\n<p>Blair: [ Scoffs ] Well, if I didn\u2019t know better, I would think that you\u2019re not happy to see me.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: I\u2019m not. Nor am I happy to find you meeting up with the likes of Tracy Quartermaine, of all people.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Oh, and I thought you didn\u2019t see me.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: I might have caught a glimpse.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Mm. But you were distracted by your friend.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: My friend?<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Yeah, the gorgeous brunette. What, you didn\u2019t want to introduce her to ex-wife number three? I would love to meet her. Where\u2019d she disappear to?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Lucy, if you\u2019re looking for Olivia, she\u2019s not here right now.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: No, no, no. I\u2019m not. I was looking for you. I-I spoke with your assistant and she said you\u2019d be here. I just \u2014 I just need to ask you something. Listen, Martin is down in the lobby waiting. I don\u2019t have a lot of time. I just \u2014 please tell me. Tell me about Sasha, please.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, as you clearly heard when you barged into the office, I left word for Gladys to give me an update when she hears anything.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: Well, I don\u2019t have time to wait. I need to know what\u2019s happening with Sasha right now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: Okay, what happened with Maxie?<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I was trying to convince myself that there was something I could do, you know, to make it right, but Maxie made it perfectly clear that there is nothing I can do to make up for what I did.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: I take it they found out that Tracy got the information on The Deceptor from you.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah. Deep down, I knew they would. Maxie could lose her livelihood. I mean, she just moved. She has three kids she has to support.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: The case hasn\u2019t been settled yet.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah, but it doesn\u2019t look good, and it\u2019s all my fault. And now I am getting exactly what I deserve. Maxie hates me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: Gregory told me that he was going to Chase\u2019s apartment the other day to tell him.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: No, he must\u2019ve \u2014 must\u2019ve changed his mind. I \u2014 Chase called me this morning about getting a new baseball glove for Violet. He doesn\u2019t know. It\u2019s not gonna be easy for either one of them when he finally does tell Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: It\u2019s not easy for anyone. Certainly not easy for you.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: All I\u2019ve wanted to do since he told me was to help him. You know, I\u2019ve been researching ALS day and night. What I\u2019d really like to do is talk to Dr. Bronson about his case.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: But you can\u2019t do that, can you?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: It\u2019s my dad\u2019s illness, right?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: So legally, ethically, I\u2019d have to get his permission. And I think \u2014 I\u2019m concerned just bringing it up to him right now would just upset him more.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: [ Scoffs ] You and Dr. Bronson are both doctors. I\u2019m sure that he would understand and share with you what he could.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Yeah, doctors don\u2019t really like that, and \u2014 and I won\u2019t go behind my father\u2019s back.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: You\u2019re right. That was a terrible idea.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: You know, there will come a point when he won&#8217;t\u2026 he won\u2019t be able to walk anymore. My father won\u2019t be able to speak. But it\u2019s still up to him when and how much he wants me to be involved.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: Why wouldn\u2019t you want to go home to that adorable son of yours?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: [ Chuckles ] No, it\u2019s not \u2014 it\u2019s not Ace that I\u2019m avoiding. It\u2019s Spencer. Um, but I don\u2019t want to bother you with my problems.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: You are not bothering me.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Um, it\u2019s just that Spencer and I have been spending a lot of time together taking care of Ace, and I thought that everything was going really well. You know, Spencer adores his little brother, and, you know, Ace lights up every time that Spencer walks into the room. [ Chuckles ] And I don\u2019t know. It felt like for the first time in my life, I knew what it was like to be part of a family.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Sounds like a good start to me.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Until I overheard Spencer talking to Alexis about going out of town for the weekend with his girlfriend, Trina. He asked Alexis to check up on me, and in spite of what I thought, it is very clear that Spencer does not trust me. So much for family.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Marshall: Stella. We need to talk.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I\u2019m a little busy here, Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: It\u2019s important.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Stella, you are due for a break.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Thanks, Elizabeth. I-I\u2019ll finish this right after. Is everything all right with Curtis?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: He\u2019s good. At least for now.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: What is that supposed to mean?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: He\u2019s thinking of selling The Savoy.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Bite your tongue. That\u2019ll be the death of him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: They were sloppy this time.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: This seems very deliberate to me. This seems very personal. I just bought this. I bought it because I don\u2019t have any clothes because they burned in the fire, all right? I\u2019ve only worn this one time. I don\u2019t even like it. And the only reason that it\u2019s ruined is \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Why, because it\u2019s yours?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Yeah, because it\u2019s mine. Your stuff isn\u2019t here. I mean, it makes me feel that whoever\u2019s doing this, they \u2014 they just \u2014 they want one thing, and that is to leave me with nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And then what? It\u2019s more than that. The message in the bathroom. \u201cYou think you\u2019re safe, but you\u2019re not.\u201d That\u2019s a direct threat.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Martin: Oh, that woman who was just here \u2014 oh, fact is we just met. I\u2019m not even sure I remember her name.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Lucy Coe.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Yes. \u201cOh.\u201d She owns Deception, a cosmetics company just like me. Hmm.\u00a0 Some people might even consider us rivals. But I hear on the street that her company\u2019s not doing that well.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Yeah, let me guess \u2014 little bird named Tracy Quartermaine told you that.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Possibly.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: All right. Enough is enough. What exactly are you doing here with her tonight, Blair?<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Marty\u2026 you\u2019re an intelligent man. I\u2019m sure you can figure it out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: All we know for sure, Lucy, is that Cody Bell apparently took Sasha out of Ferncliff.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: What?! How did he manage that?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Well, he got checked in as a patient.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: [ Scoffs ] Cody is not crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, he\u2019s not crazy, but he convinced someone that he needs help, and he\u2019s on the verge of being charged for kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: [ Scoffs ] There is no way that Cody kidnapped Sasha.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: Maxie may be angry, but once she has time to think it through \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Think what through, Chase? I betrayed her \u2014 and Lucy and Sasha.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: You made a mistake. And I know for a fact that Maxie has made a number of mistakes in the past, and they know Tracy and what she is capable of. They\u2019ll understand the pressure you were under.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: That\u2019s the part I feel the worst about \u2014 letting Tracy blackmail me because I was too afraid of you finding out the truth. I should have trusted you enough to tell you the truth myself.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah, well, it\u2019s too late for that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Alexis: You\u2019re a good son, you know that? And I know it\u2019s even harder for you to let your father handle his own medical decisions because you\u2019re a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Between you and me, it is tearing me up inside, but at some point, I have to admit and accept my limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Mm. Yeah, good luck with that. Whenever I try, it doesn\u2019t always work out so well for me.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: My dad\u2019s lucky to have you in his life.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I feel lucky to have him in mine, and I\u2019m just trying to keep things as normal as possible because he said he wanted to maintain a normal life for as long as he could.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: It\u2019s not easy to go along with it, is it?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I think that we all have our own u-unique ways of imagining how we\u2019re gonna deal with the\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Finn: The transition?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I hated that word when people used to substitute that for dying, and now\u2026I think it\u2019s really appropriate. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s gonna make things any better for you or not, but you are not alone. We are in this together.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: It helps a lot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: Sometimes, even family can let you down, Esme, but they will almost always be there for you when you really need them. The bonds of family don\u2019t easily break.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: I realize that I was this horrible person before, but I am trying really hard to make a new beginning. I want to be the best receptionist, and, more importantly, I want to be the best mom that I can be for Ace, and I\u2019m trying really hard to build a new relationship with Spencer based on respect because he is Ace\u2019s big brother. But what\u2019s the point? Because Spencer only sees me for who I was and not the person that I am now. Just like everybody else. [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: If it means anything, Alexis had her doubts, but she sees you for who you are now, and so do I. Is it okay if I give you a little advice?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Anything, please.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Sometimes when you only look at the big picture, it can be really frustrating and infuriating, so try to focus on the short term, like maybe the one thing that happened today that made you smile.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Does that work for you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stella: Curtis can\u2019t sell The Savoy. He\u2019s so proud of that club. It keeps him motivated and inspires him.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: You\u2019re right about that.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: And that\u2019s more important than ever for him to keep fighting to recover. He\u2019s got friends and coworkers there. Didn\u2019t he go back to work?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: He did. And you can see while he\u2019s at the club, the way he interacts with all the people, it\u2019s like he has his finger on the pulse of Port Charles.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: That\u2019s exactly what he needs to keep fighting to recover. Why on earth would he want to sell?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: He may have gotten an offer he can\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anna: Don\u2019t you think that someone who\u2019s burned down my house and broken in here has had ample opportunity to kill me already?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019m not saying someone isn\u2019t enjoying torturing you a little bit, but you know that message in the bathroom is a threat.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Yes, I know that. But this \u2014 this doesn\u2019t look like someone who works for Pikeman or the WSB would resort to this, right?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Okay. So it\u2019s not professional-looking, but burning your house down, taking a shot at you at The Metro Court pool, now this \u2014 this is not a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: And I\u2019m not taking any chances.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Martin: You gave Tracy the rights and copyright on your attempts to develop a beauty wand, didn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Nope. I gave Tracy absolutely nothing. But, however, she did pay a very handsome sum for those rights. You\u2019re a lawyer, Marty. You know by only owning those rights, Tracy could file a suit against Lucy and Deception.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: The fact that you would do something like that with someone like that to hurt someone like Lucy Coe \u2014 shame on you, Blair. That is just vile.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: No. What is vile is you whispering my original idea into your girlfriend\u2019s ear and making her think that it was her idea just to get her in your bed.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: That is not how it happened.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: [ Scoffs ] Right.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Anyway, Lucy&#8217;s product actually works. Yours never did.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: She never would have got it off the ground if it hadn\u2019t been an idea that you stole from me. Well, you know what, buddy? It is gonna cost you big time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Lucy: Sasha didn\u2019t want to admit it, but, um, I think that Cody does care for her much more than just as a friend. He did come to her rescue, you know, when she had that \u201cproblem\u201d at the home &amp; heart show.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh, yeah. That was a terrible trick that somebody played on her.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: Yeah, it was. It was so cruel. But, you know, she did handle it. Sasha was okay. She did. And Cody was there for her then, too, and I\u2019m just wondering if maybe he feels like he\u2019s rescuing her, you know, by breaking her out of Ferncliff. He\u2019s coming to her aid.\u00a0 You know, I really am worried about her, but Deception is also in a very precarious position right now, and if Sasha can\u2019t come back, you know, I need to know. If she\u2019s not gonna be able to come back, then I have simply got to replace her as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Finn: Well?<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Well, what?<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Well, you were on your way to say hello, and then you took this sudden detour.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: I actually wasn\u2019t gonna say hello. I was, um \u2014 I was gonna tell you something, and now I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s such a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Well, now you have to tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ] Okay, but first, I-I recognize this isn\u2019t my place. TJ told me about an incident he had with Dr. Bronson, and then Stella was just telling me about some of her patients, and it only confirmed what I\u2019d been feeling since I took over as head nurse.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: I don\u2019t think Dr. Bronson is the right doctor for your dad.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Too late for what? For us?<\/p>\n<p>Chase: No. No, too late for you to regret not telling me.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Because you did. You shared everything with me.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: And you were so understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Brook Lynn, you did what you did because you were desperate for me to get my job back, and I love you for that. I love you for so many reasons. But I don\u2019t want to spend time, the two of us, just rehashing the past.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: No. Look, I know that everything is gonna turn out all right as long as I have you by my side. I just \u2014 I hate what I did to my friends.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: You know what I don\u2019t understand, is how could your grandmother put you in that position? She knew how close you were to Maxie, and yet she still made you feel like you had to betray your best friend. Who would do that to their granddaughter?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: Actually, it has been working for me. I find if I focus on a good thing during the day that happened, you know, big or small, it makes a difference in my outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: What about today?<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Oh, today was really special. Today, I tried lavender ice cream for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Amazing. I can\u2019t believe what I\u2019ve been missing out on.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: What about you?<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, that\u2019s easy. Today, after Ace burped, he gave me the biggest smile. I could \u2014 I could tell he thought it was funny, and it just made me think how lucky I am that I\u2019m his mom.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: That sounds even better than my lavender ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Little bit.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both chuckle ]<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Look, why don\u2019t you get on home to Ace? I think I can handle rearranging your boss\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: My pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Oh, you\u2019re back.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Whoa.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Gregory. Whoa.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: [ Grunts ]<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: You okay there?<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Mm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: You gonna be okay on your own?<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Where are you going?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I\u2019m gonna go check for some security footage and see if we can\u2019t identify who did this.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Don\u2019t you think a professional will know that there are security cameras on every floor? And will have disabled them, or at least hidden their identity as best they can?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Well, we\u2019re gonna find out. Listen, in the meantime, you call the police and have them meet you here.<\/p>\n<p>Anna: Yeah, maybe forensics will find something.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Yeah. We\u2019re gonna find who did this. We\u2019re gonna stop them.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Martin: What do you mean it\u2019s gonna cost me? Lucy\u2019s the one being sued by Tracy Quartermaine.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Yeah, and I\u2019m the one paying you $50,000 a month in alimony.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Well, if you didn\u2019t want to pay, maybe you shouldn\u2019t have spent so much time jumping in and out of the sack with David Vickers. Wasn\u2019t exactly discreet. As I recall, you were caught <em>in flagrante<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Mm-hmm, because you hired that stupid detective.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: [ Chuckling ] Oh, he had nothing to do with the money. No, no, that was all that sweet southern judge decided $50,000 was adequate and reasonable compensation for my pain and suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Oh, and you\u2019re just suffering so much with Lucy Coe.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: No, no, no, no, no. She\u2019s definitely what I call a step up.<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Well, Tracy says that you\u2019re really hooked on her. So when Lucy loses Deception \u2014 and she will \u2014 you\u2019ll have no choice but to make her wife number four. Marry her. And you know when that happens, I won\u2019t have to pay you another single dime.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stella: What is this \u201cGodfather\u201d talk?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: A prominent business woman named Selina Wu offered Curtis a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: And he wants to sell?<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: Not sure. But she\u2019s trying to convince him that in his current condition, it\u2019d be too difficult for him to run the club.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Too difficult because he\u2019s in a wheelchair? Oh, these people make me crazy when they automatically assume that anyone with a disability is incapable of holding down a job like running a club or a thousand other jobs. If they saw a fraction of the grit and bravery I see people display every day, they would be ashamed of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: As well they should. Stella, I \u2014 I know what you do here is very important to the doctors and to the patients. I\u2019m hoping that maybe you can find a way to lift Curtis up the way you do your patients.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I\u2019m gonna do my best. Curtis needs that club. It\u2019s his lifeline to get out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: Make him feel like he\u2019s doing something worthy. My son can\u2019t lose that club.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Esme: Professor Chase, are you all right?<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: I\u2019m \u2014 I\u2019m fine. I\u2019m sorry.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: It\u2019s my fault. It\u2019s that corner rug keeps coming up. We\u2019ve got to get maintenance to take a look at that and tape it down. Yeah. So, um, thank you for staying late. I\u2019m sure that your son needs his mom, and I\u2019ll see you in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Esme: Yes, um, thank you again, Professor Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: So how much did you hear?<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Enough to know that you lifted Esme&#8217;s spirits when she needed it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Finn: Are you accusing Dr. Bronson of something?<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: No, no, no, I\u2019m not accusing him of anything. I think he\u2019s a great neurologist.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Okay. Tell me what you really think.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: I think diagnostically, there\u2019s no one better than Dr. Bronson. But there are things that happen or they should happen after the diagnosis\u2026 in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: That\u2019s what I want to hear \u2014 your opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Okay, I can only compare him to you and some of the other specialists we have here.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: [ Chuckles ] All the nurses make fun of my bedside manner.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: And we still think you\u2019re an amazing doctor because you\u2019re responsive to your patients. You listen to them, you answer their questions, you treat them with respect. You don\u2019t just diagnose and then follow standard procedure. Dr. Bronson does.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: And you think that\u2019s how he\u2019s treating my father?<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: He diagnosed the ALS. His main focus is treating the ALS by the book rather than treating Gregory, the patient.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Let me get this straight. Uh, your concern for Sasha is what she is going through might cost you money?<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: No, no, of \u2014 of course not. I adore Sasha. Everybody does. But you\u2019re a businesswoman. You know that we just can\u2019t be responsible for our own personal feelings. I\u2019m responsible for employees. They could lose their jobs, the whole company. Don\u2019t you see that \u2014 Frankly, it\u2019s just the timing of Sasha&#8217;s predicament is really bad because Tracy is coming after us, and we could lose absolutely everything.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: [ Clears throat ] I think it\u2019s time for you to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: What?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: You heard me.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Nina. I could use your help.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: No, wait. We are not finished with our conversation here.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Conversation is over. Goodbye, Lucy.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: Wow. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Listen, I can explain everything, but right now, I need you to show me whatever security footage you have of the hallway outside of Anna&#8217;s hotel suite.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: Glad I could help Esme. She\u2019s dealing with a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: She\u2019s not the only one.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: She\u2019s young. Her life is just beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: And yours is not over.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: [ Exhales deeply ]<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I thought you were gonna tell Chase that you have ALS.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: I was, and I went to his apartment with every intention of doing just that, but\u2026 Brook Lynn had just moved in and the two of them seemed so very happy and I just couldn\u2019t ruin it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Elizabeth: You don\u2019t seem surprised.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: I\u2019m not. I\u2019ve had the same reservations about Dr. Bronson, but I thought maybe because he was treating my father, I was too close to be objective.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Well, I\u2019m being objective. And I\u2019m not saying that Dr. Bronson isn\u2019t a good doctor for certain people, but your dad\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Is dying, and he needs a more compassionate kind of care.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: The problem is he chose Dr. Bronson, and I just can\u2019t step in now and start dictating treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: Finn. You\u2019re an excellent doctor with exceptional experience. This is your lane. And I think your dad would feel reassured and supported by your opinions. You wouldn\u2019t be telling him what to do. You\u2019re just offering an alternative.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brook Lynn: You\u2019ve been in Port Charles long enough now to have heard the infamous stories of the Quartermaine family\u2019s, you know, bickering and backstabbing.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah, but all those stories can\u2019t be true.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I never wanted to believe they were, either. And I\u2019ve done my fair share of conniving and deceiving my family, but I really thought we were in a good place, you know, that we could really count on each other. Now my dad thinks he\u2019s someone else, and my grandmother, I mean, she\u2019s always been calculating and tough. I-I actually admired her for it. But now I realize she is deliberately destructive. She\u2019s taking down Deception because she can, and I helped her do it. You have no idea how lucky you are, Chase, to come from a family that\u2019s open and honest with each other.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Martin: What the hell are you talking about?<\/p>\n<p>Blair: Follow the breadcrumbs, Marty. I won\u2019t hesitate to tell Lucy and prove to her that you stole The Deceptor idea from me and you gave it to her, and then she\u2019ll lose everything. And then being angry and broke, she\u2019ll have no choice but to sue you, and I will be her star witness. So I think you losing 50 grand a month is a small price to pay, don\u2019t you? I mean, you won\u2019t lose Lucy, and you won\u2019t lose the rest of your money. So think about it, okay? It\u2019s so nice to see you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I can, um, pull up the security footage from Olivia&#8217;s computer, but first, Valentin, you need to tell me what\u2019s going on. Is Anna okay?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: No, she\u2019s not okay. Someone broke into our hotel suite while we were at dinner tonight. There was a threatening message written on the bathroom mirror. The room was ransacked and, uh, her clothes were strewn all over the place, covered in red ink.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh, my god. Okay, you said dinner&#8230; that would be the latest footage from tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: In the last two, three hours.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I am so sorry. I thought Anna would be okay here.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: I was hoping so, too. Now I just want to know who did this.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Dante: Gun! Everybody down!<\/p>\n<p>[ Gunshot ] <\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Lucy: [ Breathes deeply ] Wow, I do not know what that was for, but you almost made me forget all my problems.<\/p>\n<p>Martin: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Phew. [ Clears throat ]<\/p>\n<p>Martin: That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for, darlin\u2019.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Gregory: It felt really good just now with Esme to be able to lift someone\u2019s spirits instead of depress them.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: You do not depress anyone. On the contrary. You bring joy and happiness into many people\u2019s lives, including your son\u2019s and yours truly. And your work here, I mean, forget about it. It\u2019s invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Well\u2026 take advantage of me for as long as you can.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: I intend to. How are you feeling?<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: You saw. More unsteady more often. Dr. Bronson has made it clear I\u2019m deteriorating more rapidly. But I have every intention of living the best life I can for as long as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Good.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: But, Alexis, there\u2019s something\u2026 I need to know.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: Have you ever tried lavender ice cream? Oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis: Yum!<\/p>\n<p>Gregory: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Finn: You\u2019re right. I\u2019m gonna talk to my dad about his treatment, and hopefully, he won\u2019t be too resistant to sharing information.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: And then you could just take it from there.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: Yeah. In the meantime, I\u2019m gonna research some neurologists in the surrounding areas and New York City. I-I have some colleagues. They should be able to give me some good names. That way when I talk to him, I\u2019ll have some alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth: And if you need help with the research, I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p>Finn: I\u2019m counting on it. Thank you. Thank you for giving me the push I needed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chase: My family wasn\u2019t always open and honest. Growing up, Finn wasn\u2019t around.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: Yeah, but you guys worked that out.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: Yeah. And I\u2019m glad we did. Because of all that time we missed, I feel like what we have now is even more special. [ Chuckles ] I never would have thought that my father, my brother, and myself having a tea party with Violet, that that would be the highlight of my week.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I felt the same way about spending time with my dad and Leo.<\/p>\n<p>Chase: And now I don\u2019t just have my family together. I\u2019ve got you, too. I\u2019m the luckiest guy I know.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lynn: I\u2019m pretty lucky, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Marshall: So glad you\u2019re back in town. Doing the work you love here at this hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: I didn\u2019t mind being a jet-setter for a while, but I did miss my family and this job.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: Are they working you to death?<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Oh, it\u2019s fine, but it will be nice to get a little lighter load. Felicia Scorpio is going to be joining our staff, and I got a feeling she\u2019s got the fire to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: [ Chuckles ] It\u2019s not surprising that you would be attracted to someone with the fire because you, Stella, are the original firecracker. [ Chuckles ] It\u2019s good to have you back. And the family closer together.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: You didn\u2019t always feel that way.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: Hey, that\u2019s \u2014 it\u2019s water under the bridge. I lost Irene, and somehow, it feels that she\u2019s still a part of us, especially with Curtis and Trina and you.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: We\u2019re lucky to have the family we have.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall: Yeah, we are. [ Chuckles ] So we\u2019ll, uh \u2014 we\u2019ll keep this together. You\u2019re going to talk to Curtis about the club, and I think between the two of us, we\u2019ll be able to set him straight and keep him from making a mistake he\u2019ll live to regret.<\/p>\n<p>Stella: Yes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: All right, I pulled up the footage. You said the last three hours?<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Yeah, maximum.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Okay, I can just \u2014 I\u2019ll fast-forward it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Anna: Why are you involved with Sonny? And who is the third party? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Valentin: The defense contractor. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Anna: What\u2019s the name of the company? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Valentin: Pikeman. <\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Wait. Go back a little.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Uh, Valentin, I didn\u2019t see anything.<\/p>\n<p>Valentin: Just go back.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Dante: He lied to you about working for Pikeman? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Anna: He didn\u2019t lie to me. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dante: Well, he was dishonest. He withheld the truth. I-I just \u2014 why did he tell you? Wha\u2013 why then? Why would it come out of nowhere? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Anna: I was putting together the pieces, and he came \u2014 came home. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dante: You told him what you knew, and he realized he had no choice but to come clean. So yeah, we don\u2019t have to call that a lie if you don\u2019t want to. But we both know he did lie to you about where he was the night of the fire. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anna: Hello. I\u2019d like to report a break-in.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Valentin: Stop there. Go back a little. Freeze it.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Oh, my God.
