00:00Gio! Gio!
00:07Gio!
00:10Mom!
00:15Is what Gio said true?
00:17Do not even think about lying to me.
00:21I won't.
00:24Is Gio my son?
00:31Yes, sweetie. He is.
00:44Gio, where are you?
00:49Thank God, are you okay?
00:51Oh, Fred. No, I just found out that my mom wasn't real to my mom. My dad wasn't real to my dad.
00:56And my entire life is a lie.
00:59I'm scared.
01:01Where are you going?
01:02I just can't stay here, Emma. I can't.
01:04Well, stop it, please. Just pause it.
01:06Don't try to stop me, okay?
01:07I'm not stopping you, okay? I'm coming with you.
01:11The role of Michael Parenthos is now being played by Rory Gibson.
01:15When did you grow a foot while I was gone?
01:18Almost taller than I am.
01:19No, I'm not.
01:23I really, really missed you, bud.
01:27I missed you, too.
01:29Are we going back to Uncle Drew's house?
01:32Even better.
01:34We're gonna have sleepover at Grandma Carly's tonight.
01:37Yay!
01:38Hey, his sister's already there waiting for us.
01:42Michael, wait!
01:43Bye, Mommy!
01:44This cannot be happening.
01:47Following them would be a bad idea.
01:57I love you.
02:17Night.
02:23Well...
02:25That was...
02:28Yeah.
02:37Thanks.
02:43I'm glad you pulled Dante away when Gio made his announcement.
02:47How is he?
02:49He's mad.
02:51He's confused. He's in shock.
02:56Did I say mad?
02:58You did, yeah.
02:59Yeah, well, he is.
03:02I, uh...
03:05I told him that I knew that Brooklyn left camp early because she was pregnant.
03:10And I confirmed that Gio is his son.
03:15Your name didn't come up, by the way.
03:19I have no intention of hiding my involvement.
03:23I am so sorry the way that it all came out, but...
03:29At least now Dante knows the truth.
03:32I don't know, Lulu.
03:34I mean, given the traumatic way that everything went down...
03:39I don't know if we made the right call.
03:43Your grandmother and I, we were trying to do the right thing.
03:47The right thing.
03:50You said you wanted your baby to go to a loving home, and I promised you that I would make that happen, but...
03:58But how could I keep that promise if I didn't know the family, so...
04:03So we decided to keep Gio close.
04:08I swear to you, Brooklyn, we were only trying to look out for your child, and that's exactly what we did.
04:15No child was ever more loved than Gio was. We made sure of that.
04:25Brooklyn, please.
04:27Say something.
04:28I can't.
04:30I can't breathe.
04:33It's okay.
04:35It's okay.
04:43Where do you want to go?
04:44Anywhere but here.
04:45Okay, that's fine. We'll figure it out on the road.
04:47Come on.
04:51I can't believe Drew framed me and then had me arrested.
04:55He's not going to like what's going to happen next.
04:58And Jason, leaving me stranded at the police station because he had something he had to do.
05:04I had something I had to do. I had to come home.
05:07You were arrested?
05:09Yeah.
05:11What are you doing here?
05:15You're supposed to be at the nurses' ball. What's wrong?
05:19What about Gio?
05:20He's not Camilla and Frances Palmieri's son. He's Dante and Brooklyn's.
05:25Are you okay?
05:26Because if you're sick or something, I can just tell them that you can't go on, all right?
05:30You don't have to do this.
05:32Yeah, I do.
05:34The show must go on.
05:36Yeah, I do.
05:38The show must go on.
05:40I'm going to dedicate this performance to my parents.
05:45Brooklyn Quartermaine and Dante Falconeri.
05:49Two people who didn't want me.
05:54Speak!
05:57Do you know how you love to remind me repeatedly that I'm not a Quartermaine?
06:04Vaguely.
06:06Well, the joke's on you, Tracy.
06:09Turns out I'm family after all.
06:14Where is Michael taking Wylie?
06:17Are you seriously not going to answer her?
06:20Wylie is your son.
06:22That's the sinner.
06:24Carrie, hi.
06:27Hold on. Say that again?
06:30What the hell's going on?
06:31Michael called when you landed. He asked me to take Amelia to your house.
06:34What?
06:36Where is Amelia now?
06:40No.
06:42No, I'm just glad you called.
06:46You had no right.
06:48You took my baby?
06:49Let's go.
06:50See what happens if Detroit stops.
06:52We're all coming. You need me.
06:56Let's go. Where's Donna?
06:58I had Spinelli take her home.
07:00No.
07:05See you in court.
07:07I guess I'm going to take care of him. I'll see you later.
07:10Please. No, stop.
07:12No.
07:13No, please. All I ask is that you hear me out.
07:22Those kids were so adorable.
07:25They were so cute.
07:27Um, look.
07:30I'm really glad that you made it out tonight.
07:32It was nice knowing that you were in the audience.
07:34It really upped your game?
07:36Maybe.
07:37You know, I still can't get over, Trina, how beautiful your voice is.
07:41Though I shouldn't be surprised because every single thing about you is beautiful.
07:50Did you tell Gio that Brooklyn and Dante are his parents?
07:57Not exactly.
08:01I'm pretty sure that he overheard Lois and me talking in one of the dressing rooms.
08:09What happened tonight is on me, too.
08:12But maybe confronting Lois at the nurses' ball wasn't the best idea.
08:19Do you not think Dante still deserves the truth?
08:23I think that I was so focused on Dante that I didn't give enough thought to how this would affect Gio.
08:31You know?
08:33I mean, I kept equating his experience to mine.
08:37You know, me growing up not knowing my real parents.
08:40But the situations aren't the same at all.
08:45How so?
08:47I just...
08:49You know, growing up, I never really felt like I fit in.
08:55You know, I always felt out of place.
08:57But Gio, he grew up with a family that adored him.
09:01I mean, his mom and him, they were devoted to each other.
09:05He was happy. He was well-adjusted with strong roots. He was proud of.
09:09And we just blew that all to hell.
09:12It doesn't matter how Gio found out.
09:14The point is that Gio and Dante know the truth, right?
09:17That's what you wanted all along.
09:19Not like this.
09:20Okay.
09:21Dante needs to learn the truth, but he needs to hear it from the people who are actually involved.
09:26That is Lois and Brooklyn, not you.
09:29You need to calm down.
09:31Because for better or worse, you're the one that set this train in motion.
09:34And you need to get off the track before you get level.
09:38Yes, we can't drink this.
09:48I need to know how it happened.
09:52I'll tell you everything.
09:53Everything.
10:01Your grandmother knew.
10:04Your grandmother knew how much your cousin Camilla desperately wanted a baby.
10:14And when we told her the idea, she was thrilled.
10:18We were offering her the opportunity to be a mother.
10:24And, I mean, it was really a dream come true, you know, for all of us.
10:29And it was such a relief knowing that we could keep Gio close and we could watch over him, you know.
10:38And I could look you in the eye and tell you with absolute certainty that your baby went to a loving home.
10:53It seemed like the perfect solution.
10:57And then Camilla got sick.
11:01And she passed.
11:06We knew we couldn't tell you and Gio the truth.
11:10Because his whole world had just fallen apart.
11:13And we just thought it was all kind of wrong to tell him that Camilla wasn't his mother on top of that, you know.
11:21Franklin, please.
11:24You have to believe me.
11:26I was trying to do the right thing.
11:29For who?
11:34The right thing for who?
11:51I can't believe that Jason kidnapped Camilla from Willow's home.
11:55He was acting on Michael's wishes.
11:58Well, in that case, I guess it's okay.
12:01Michael has a right to see his kids.
12:03But not like that.
12:05I thought when Michael returned, it would calm things down.
12:08Well, clearly, that's not going to happen.
12:10Sonny, can't you do something?
12:14Can't you talk to Michael?
12:16Can't you do something? Can't you talk to Michael?
12:19Make him see that a compromise is what's best.
12:23Nina, nobody wants a battle.
12:25Nobody.
12:28And unless or when Willow gets away from Drew, this is the way it's going to be.
12:38Now, you and Willow have gotten closer, right?
12:42Yes. We're closer than ever.
12:45Is there any way you can get her to see that Drew's not a good person?
12:51Drew has ruined her life.
12:54Number one, tanked her marriage, and she's about to lose her kids.
13:01I hope he's worth it.
13:16Michael.
13:18Oh, I missed you so much.
13:37Oh, you really went all out.
13:40My aunt Stella went all out.
13:44You know, she had work today, and she couldn't make it to the nurse's ball, so this was her way of celebrating my performance.
13:51Well, your aunt Stella is really something.
13:54And so are you, Trina Robinson.
13:57Okay, here is to you, an undeniable shooting star.
14:02And to your aunt Stella for being aunt Stella.
14:14Hey, what's wrong?
14:19Um...
14:26I just... I feel really guilty that I had an amazing night tonight while Gio was having a night from hell.
14:34Have you heard from him?
14:36No, but Emma texted and she said that she's with him right now and that she'll make sure that he's okay.
14:44You know, I kind of understand what Gio's going through.
14:47Not the whole finding out you're adopted thing, but I have experience cruising along thinking that everything is just fine, and then suddenly it all comes crashing down.
15:00Yeah.
15:03And you've had that happen too, right? When you lost Spencer.
15:09I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
15:11Yeah?
15:14My mom... My mom helped me realize that the reason why I just... I felt so scared about you getting surgery was because I just didn't want to lose somebody else that I cared about.
15:32I really mean that much to you?
15:35Yeah, you do.
15:38What are you saying?
15:40You don't know.
15:44Gio, I just spent the better part of my evening detained by the man, so what is it you think I'm supposed to know?
15:54Looks like the joke's on both of us then, because I just assumed you were in on it with my lying so-called parents.
16:01Will you translate, please? He's got this.
16:05Brooklyn is my mom. Dante is my dad, which makes you, Tracy, my great-grandmother.
16:12So congratulations! It's a boy! So if you'll excuse me, I can't spend a single second more in this house than I have to.
16:20Wait. Wait!
16:22What?
16:24Start at the beginning.
16:26You'll have to ask my Aunt Lois... My grandmother Lois for that.
16:31Aunt Lois for that.
16:34It was you all this time.
16:41You're my great-great-grandson.
16:47Let's go.
16:48No! Don't!
16:53Don't take another step.
16:58Dante, I...
16:59Please stop. No more.
17:04Dante...
17:08I'm so sorry.
17:16It's all so true.
17:20I got pregnant that summer.
17:24Our summer.
17:29Why didn't you tell me?
17:31I couldn't. I didn't know how.
17:37Were you worried I'd be mad or shame you or something?
17:40No. Nothing like that.
17:44Then why wouldn't you... Why wouldn't you just tell me?
17:50I was young.
17:53I was scared out of my mind.
17:57It's hard to describe, but I just felt so lost, and I didn't know what to do.
18:06All I knew was that I couldn't terminate the pregnancy, so...
18:13I had the baby, gave it up for adoption, and I swore I'd never tell anyone.
18:20That right there, that...
18:24I have been dreading that for over 20 years, that look on your face, knowing that it's my fault.
18:36And, uh...
18:38The...
18:40The G.O. piece.
18:42I swear, until tonight, I didn't know the child was G.O.
18:50The G.O. Piece
18:56If you still want to go, we can just head out the back.
18:58Okay, Tracy can't catch us if we go ahead and...
19:01Tracy can't do what?
19:03Nothing. Um...
19:05But it has been a really rough night in this quarter, Maine, so I think we're just gonna head out.
19:09I will definitely make sure that G.O. calls you later. Okay?
19:13No. Not okay.
19:15And as much as I appreciate you, you need to zip it.
19:20I want you to tell me exactly what happened.
19:24Well, why do you believe that...
19:30That Brooklyn's your mother and that Dante's your father?
19:35Lois said they were.
19:38She told you?
19:40No, I overheard her say it.
19:43It's the truth, which is why I want to just get out of here before anybody gets home.
19:49I understand.
19:52I understand, G.O., this is shocking and very upsetting.
19:56Well, thanks. Thank you. Thank you.
19:59But...
20:01You...
20:04Don't get to come in here and say that you're family and then just waltz out the door.
20:10Why not?
20:12Because you're my family.
20:14You're my family.
20:20I have two sons.
20:22A granddaughter.
20:24A grandson.
20:26And now you tell me that I have a great-grandson.
20:32This is Edward and Lila.
20:37They're your great-grandparents.
20:40Your great-great-grandparents.
20:43This brooch, this belonged to Lila.
20:47G.O., everything in this house is yours.
20:51Everything.
20:53And everybody who lives here is related to you.
20:59Don't push us away.
21:06I will never forget the look on G.O.'s face when he was up on that stage.
21:13He looked so...
21:16Lost and betrayed.
21:20Made my heart hurt.
21:22For him.
21:24For Brooklyn. Dante, too.
21:29I know that you never wanted it to go down like this, but I can't help but feel guilty a little bit.
21:38You know, we were so blinded by the lie that G.O. was Camilla's son that we...
21:43We couldn't see the reason why the lie was there in the first place.
21:50So many people's lives just got ripped apart and they'll never be the same.
21:56But they were changed for the better, right?
21:59It's good that Dante knows.
22:02G.O. grew up thinking that Camilla was his mom.
22:06Now he knows that she's not.
22:10But the love that they shared, it's real. No one can take that from them.
22:16Yeah, I doubt that G.O. can appreciate that distinction right now.
22:23Not now, but...
22:26Maybe someday?
22:29I just hope that Brooklyn and Dante found that kid.
22:33He's not out there all alone.
22:41I guess, uh...
22:44I just don't know... I don't know why you didn't tell me at some point that you got pregnant.
22:53Once I decided I was giving up the baby, it felt cruel to tell you.
22:58Yeah, well, you still could have told me.
23:01I didn't want to burden you with something I knew you couldn't change.
23:05I was already suffering, Dante.
23:08I thought if I told you, I'd be making you suffer too.
23:13Okay.
23:16Okay, um...
23:19Clearly got a lot to talk about and figure out.
23:22I know.
23:23But, look...
23:26We gotta put all this aside, because...
23:30We got a son.
23:34And he's in trouble right now.
23:37I need to find G.O.
23:39Do you know where he would go?
23:40I...
23:46Oh, thank God.
23:47What?
23:48Tracy texted. She said G.O.'s at the house and to come quickly.
23:51Okay, let's go.
23:53I'm coming with you.
23:54Oh, like hell you are.
24:02I want to stay up with you, Daddy. I'm not tired.
24:06How you're yawning makes me think you might be a little bit tired.
24:11We'll talk more in the morning, okay?
24:14You'll be here?
24:16Promise?
24:18Cross my heart.
24:19Cross my heart.
24:22Hey, you want to know what I was thinking about on my flight home?
24:24What?
24:26How we were flying over this gigantic ocean.
24:29How blue for miles and miles, as far as the eye can see.
24:35How my love for you and your sister is even bigger than that.
24:41Bigger than an ocean?
24:43Bigger than anything, Wylie.
24:46I know.
24:48I know that I was gone for a while.
24:53But I'm back now.
24:55Everything's going to be different.
24:58I love you, Daddy.
25:02I love you, too.
25:05Bigger than an ocean.
25:08Forever.
25:10You know, after Spencer, I never thought I'd see you again.
25:15I never thought that I'd feel so strongly about someone again.
25:18And then you came along.
25:21And you couldn't stand me.
25:24Okay, no, not that.
25:26No?
25:27No, that's not true, okay?
25:29Well, I mean, I did think that you were a little bit of an arrogant jerk.
25:35And even though it's embarrassing to admit, I judged a book by its cover.
25:41But you were neither of those things.
25:43I hope I wasn't.
25:46No. I mean, I was attracted to you from the start.
25:50I just didn't know how to handle it.
25:53I just felt guilty because of Spencer and...
25:57And part of you didn't want to like me.
26:02But eventually, I couldn't help myself.
26:06Well, I was a goner from the night that you dumped your drink on me.
26:11Thanks.
26:13I was.
26:15Well, I guess it takes whatever, you know?
26:17We got there at the end.
26:19The end?
26:21No, this is just the beginning.
26:22Hey.
26:41Hey, what if Jocelyn ends up coming home?
26:44Well, she just texted me and she said she's spending the night at her mom's, so we have the place to ourselves.
26:53And you're sure you want to do this?
26:57Because we can wait.
26:59No, no.
27:01I definitely want to.
27:03Unless you don't want to.
27:05No. No, I absolutely want to.
27:23I love you.
27:26I love you.
27:52I love you.
28:22I love you.
28:24I love you.
28:26I love you.
28:28I love you.
28:30I love you.
28:32I love you.
28:34I love you.
28:36I love you.
28:38I love you.
28:40I love you.
28:42I love you.
28:44I love you.
28:46I love you.
28:48I love you.
28:50I love you.
28:52I love you.
28:54I love you.
28:56I love you.
28:58I love you.
29:00I love you.
29:02I love you.
29:04I love you.
29:06I love you.
29:08I love you.
29:10I love you.
29:12I love you.
29:14I love you.
29:16I love you.
29:18I love you.
29:20I love you.
29:22I love you.
29:24I love you.
29:26I love you.
29:28I love you.
29:30I love you.
29:32I love you.
29:34I love you.
29:40I hate that Jio is hurting.
29:44Even when change is good.
29:47It's hard.
29:48hard. This isn't just change, Lulu. Gio's entire reality has been turned on its head.
29:56But I still think that it's worth it if it means that the truth came out. Cody, Dante
30:06is an amazing father. No argument there. And Brooklyn, for all her faults, which I think
30:13there are many, she's a living person. And she's got Chase to rein her in when she goes
30:19off the rails. I think she'll be a good mom. I think so too. Think about it. Gio believed
30:29he was an orphan. And now he has parents and grandparents and a brother. This whole other
30:36family who will accept him with open arms the same way that the Scorpios accepted you.
30:41How could that be anything but good? Every time you use the word we, or us, I want to
30:50crawl out of my skin. It was my baby, Ma. You think I don't know that? You pretended
30:58like I was the one who was calling the shots. You made me think I was. Meanwhile, I had
31:04nothing to do with it. That is not true. No? I agreed to a closed adoption. Remember that?
31:14With the distinct understanding that neither you nor I would know where the baby went.
31:20That was for your protection. Oh, screw that. If you changed the plan, you should have told me.
31:28We could have figured it out together.
31:31You and me against the world, right, Ma? What a freaking joke. Get off of me.
31:41What you did is unforgivable. There is zero excuse for it. My God, Ma. You lied to everybody.
31:53You lied to everybody. Me, your own daughter for 22 years. Gio,
32:06my son for his entire life. Dante, Olivia, Dad, Tracy, the list goes on.
32:16I wish, I wish with all my heart that I could go back in time.
32:21I want you to stay away from my son. Stay the hell away from me.
32:51Mom. What are you thinking about?
33:03Art history class. Okay, well, that was not the answer I was hoping for.
33:09Well, hear me out. Always.
33:16I did not want you as a partner. Yeah, I remember that.
33:25But I'm glad that you were because you were one of the best things that have happened to me.
33:32I feel the exact same way.
33:36Racing a child is a core domain and a Corinthos would have way too many complications. I don't
33:49think it's healthy to raise a child surrounded by a family that's drowning in money and makes
33:55backstabbing each other in art. I miss them so much. Talking to men. See you in the morning.
34:08Oh, but you look great. I hope you're not in any pain. No, it's not that I can't manage.
34:17What about you? I'm good. I'm great, actually. I'm glad to hear it. And thank you, by the way,
34:27for helping out with Amelia. Yeah, she she knows me from the queues. Jason and I thought it would
34:35be a little less scary for her if I came with him when he went to pick her up at truth. Smart.
34:40Smart. Thanks. And not just for that, but for sending the sonograms, too. I appreciate it.
34:52Of course. Sasha, I don't want you to start worrying that I'm back in town.
35:00And you asked me not to be a part of the baby's life, so.
35:06Won't be.
35:10Unless you change your mind.
35:18We need to report a kidnap. You need to come with us right now. Help us get her back.
35:21What? Who was kidnapped? My daughter. I'll put an ember alert on right now. No, no,
35:24you don't have to. We already know where Amelia is. How do you know she is? How?
35:28Because Jason is the one that kidnapped her.
35:33They have more family than he's ever had.
35:37It won't do him any good if he can't trust him,
35:40because I honestly don't know how anyone can come back from a lie this big.
35:48A lot of love and. Patience and time.
35:58Things look bleak now.
36:01Really bleak. But they won't be that way forever.
36:07Everyone will help Gio come to terms with his new reality. I'll do whatever I can.
36:15Me, too. You. You may want to lay low for a little while.
36:22Fair point.
36:34You good? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna walk home. Night, Errol. Do me some good.
36:45Night, Lulu. Good night.
36:51Good night.
37:22Look, no one would ever classify the Quartermains as perfect.
37:32But we're your family.
37:37I get that this isn't your fault.
37:41But I had a family. I had a mother who I loved more than anything.
37:48The mother that I lost.
37:51And now I find out that none of it was real. It was all a complete lie.
37:55Gio, it's not true.
37:56The family that is. The family that I do have.
37:59You, you guys.
38:02You. You.
38:05You're all a bunch of liars.
38:08So you'll have to excuse me if I don't jump on the Q bandwagon,
38:13if I don't jump on the Q bandwagon, because it's, it's, it's just a lie. It's, it's, it's a big lie.
38:19Come on.
38:32On the next General Hospital.
38:34Have you even told me if your hand hadn't been forced?
38:36What's your excuse?
38:37Until you are in the exact same position.
38:40You can't say that.
38:42It's going to change everything for the custody hearing.
38:44Please don't do this.
38:45I have to try.
38:46How did you know to come home?
