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 really my mom. My dad wasn't really my dad.
00:56And my entire life is a lie.
00:59I'm scared.
01:01Where are you going?
01:02I just can't. I can't stay here, Emma. I can't.
01:04Well, stop it, please. Just talk to me.
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.
04:36It's okay.
04:43Where do you wanna go?
04:44There's nowhere 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 gonna like what's gonna 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.
05:23He'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, alright?
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.
05:39I'm going to dedicate this performance to my parents.
05:45Brooklyn Quartermaine and Dante Falconeri.
05:49Two people who didn't want me.
05:54Sneak!
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 yours.
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'll all come in if you need me.
06:56Still, 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 like 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.
13:43You know, she had work today, and she couldn't make it to the nurse's ball,
13:47so 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?
14:25I just, I feel really guilty that I had an amazing night tonight
14:30while 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
14:41and 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,
14:51but I have experience cruising along thinking that everything is just fine,
14:57and then suddenly it all comes crashing down.
15:00Yeah.
15:02And you've had that happen too, right?
15:05When you lost Spencer.
15:09I've been thinking about him a lot lately.
15:11Yeah?
15:18My mom, my mom helped me realize that
15:22the reason why I just, I felt so scared about you getting surgery
15:27was 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.
15:43Oh.
15:44Gio, I just spent the better part of my evening detained by the man.
15:49So what is it you think I'm supposed to know?
15:53Looks like the joke's on both of us then.
15:56Because I just assumed you were in on it with my lying so-called parents.
16:01Will you translate please?
16:03He's got this.
16:06Brooklyn is my mom.
16:08Dante is my dad, which makes you, Tracy, my great-grandmother.
16:13So congratulations, it's a boy.
16:16So if you'll excuse me, I can't spend a single second more in this house than I have to.
16:21Wait, wait.
16:23What?
16:25Start at the beginning.
16:27You'll have to ask my Aunt Lois, my grandmother Lois for that.
16:33It was you all this time.
16:41You're my great-great-grandson.
16:46Let's go.
16:48No, don't.
16:53Don't take another step.
16:58Dante, I...
16:59Stop. No more.
17:03Dante.
17:07I'm so sorry.
17:15So is the truth.
17:19I got pregnant that summer, Cam.
17:23Our summer.
17:29Why didn't you tell me?
17:31I couldn't.
17:33I didn't know how.
17:37Were you worried I'd be mad or shame you or something?
17:40No, nothing like that.
17:43Then why wouldn't you...
17:45Why didn't you just tell me?
17:49I 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.
18:05All I knew was that I couldn't terminate the pregnancy, so...
18:12I had the baby, gave it up for adoption, and I swore I'd never tell anyone.
18:18I remember telling you.
18:21That 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...
18:39The...
18:40The G.O. piece.
18:43I swear, until tonight, I didn't know the child was G.
18:48I swear.
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.
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.
19:21I want you to tell me exactly what happened.
19:24Well, why do you believe that...
19:31That Brooklyn's your mother and that Dante's your father?
19:36Lois said they were.
19:39She told you?
19:41No, I overheard her say it.
19:44It'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.
19:56Thanks. 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 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.
20:36They're your great-grandparents.
20:39Your great-great-grandparents.
20:42This 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...
21:35But 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.
22:14No 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...
22:44I just don't know... I don't know why you didn't tell me...
22:49At some point that you got pregnant.
22:53Once I decided I was giving up the baby, it felt cruel to tell you.
22:58Yeah, but 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 have 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.
23:54I'm coming with you.
23:55Oh, like hell you are.
24:03I want to stay up with you, Daddy. I'm not tired.
24:07How you're yawning makes me think you might be a little bit tired.
24:12We'll talk more in the morning, okay?
24:15You'll be here?
24:17Promise?
24:19Cross my heart.
24:22Hey, you wanna 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.
24:48I know.
24:50I know that I was gone for a while.
24:54But I'm back now.
24:57Everything's gonna be different.
24:59I love you, Daddy.
25:04I love you, too.
25:07Bigger than an ocean.
25:10Forever.
25:12You know, after Spencer, I 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. No, that's not true.
25:28Okay, well, 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.
25:44I 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...
25:58And 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.
26:12I was.
26:14But I guess it takes whatever, you know?
26:17We got there at the end.
26:18The end?
26:20No, this is just the beginning.
26:22Hey, 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.
26:47So we have the place to ourselves.
26:54And you're sure you want to do this?
26:57Because we can wait.
26:58No, no.
27:00I definitely want to.
27:03Unless you don't want to.
27:04No.
27:05No, I absolutely want to.
27:36It feels like I can be myself with you.
27:47It feels like I can be myself with you.
27:57No, I'm not.
27:58No, I'm not.
27:59I'm not afraid.
28:01No, I'm not.
28:02No, I'm not.
28:03I'm not afraid.
28:05No, I'm not.
28:06No, I'm not.
28:07I'm not afraid.
28:12I'm not afraid anymore.
28:14Sunshine in your eyes.
28:17I'll fade into stars up in your eyes.
28:22Yeah, I'll take a million of these nights.
28:26So I can stay forever, forever in your arms.
28:49Forever in your arms.
28:53Forever in your arms.
28:59No, I'm not.
29:00No, I'm not.
29:02I'm not afraid.
29:04No, I'm not.
29:05No, I'm not.
29:06I'm not afraid.
29:08No, I'm not.
29:09No, I'm not.
29:11I'm not afraid.
29:16I'm not afraid.
29:22No, I'm not.
29:23No, I'm not.
29:24I'm not afraid.
29:26No, I'm not.
29:27No, I'm not.
29:29I'm not afraid.
29:31No, I'm not.
29:32No, I'm not.
29:34I'm not afraid.
29:41I hate that Gio is hurting.
29:45Even when change is good, it's hard.
29:51This isn't just change, Lulu.
29:54Gio's entire reality has been turned on its head.
29:58But I still think that it's worth it if it means that the truth came out.
30:05Cody, Dante is an amazing father.
30:09No argument there.
30:11And Brooklyn, for all her faults, which I think there are many,
30:17and she's got Chase to rein her in when she goes off the rails.
30:22I think she'll be a good mom.
30:24I think so, too.
30:26Think about it.
30:28Gio believed he was an orphan.
30:31And now he has parents and grandparents and a brother.
30:35This whole other family who will accept him with open arms the same way that the Scorpios accepted you.
30:41How could that be anything but good?
30:45Every time you use the word we or us, I want to crawl out of my skin.
30:52It was my baby, Ma.
30:54You think I don't know that?
30:56You pretended like I was the one who was calling the shots.
31:01You made me think I was.
31:03Meanwhile, I had nothing to do with it.
31:05That is not true.
31:06No?
31:09I agreed to a closed adoption.
31:13Remember that?
31:14With the distinct understanding that neither you nor I would know where the baby went.
31:20That was for your protection.
31:22Oh, screw that.
31:24If you changed the plan, you should have told me.
31:28We could have figured it out together.
31:33You and me against the world, right, Ma?
31:37What a freaking joke.
31:39Brooklyn, get off of me.
31:42What you did is unforgivable.
31:47There is zero excuse for it.
31:51My God, Ma.
31:53You lied to everybody.
31:56Me, your own daughter for 22 years.
32:03Gio.
32:06My son for his entire life.
32:10Dante, Olivia, Dad, Tracy, the list goes on.
32:16I wish, I wish with all my heart that I could go back in time.
32:21Dante is living to me.
32:26I want you to stay away from my son.
32:30Brooklyn, stay the hell away from me.
32:34Bye.
32:36Bye.
32:59Mom.
33:01What are you thinking about?
33:04Art history class.
33:06Okay, well, that was not the answer I was hoping for.
33:09Well, hear me out.
33:10Always.
33:19I did not want you as a partner.
33:21Yeah, I remember that.
33:25But I'm glad that you were.
33:29Because you were one of the best things that have happened to me.
33:33I feel the exact same way.
33:44Raising a child is a core domain and a Corinthos would have way too many complications.
33:49I don't think it's healthy to raise a child surrounded by a family that's drowning in money and makes backstabbing each other an art.
34:02I miss them so much.
34:05Talking to men.
34:06See you in the morning.
34:08I'll bet.
34:11You look great.
34:14I hope you're not in any pain.
34:15It's not that I can't manage.
34:18What about you?
34:20I'm good.
34:22I'm great, actually.
34:24I'm glad to hear it.
34:26And thank you, by the way, for helping out with Amelia.
34:31Yeah, she knows me from the queues.
34:35Jason and I thought it would be a little less scary for her if I came with him when he went to pick her up at Drew's.
34:41Smart.
34:42Thanks.
34:44And not just for that, but for sending the sonograms, too.
34:49I appreciate it.
34:52Of course.
34:55Sasha, I don't want you to start worrying now that I'm back in town.
35:01You asked me not to be a part of the baby's life, so I won't be.
35:10Unless you change your mind.
35:16Mac!
35:18We need to report a kidnap.
35:19You need to come with us right now. Help us get her back.
35:21What? Who was kidnapped?
35:22My daughter.
35:23I'll put an emerald alert on right now.
35:25No, you don't have to. We already know where Amelia is.
35:27How do you know where she is? How?
35:29Because Jason is the one that kidnapped her.
35:33He may have more family than he's ever had.
35:37But it won't do him any good if he can't trust them.
35:40Because I honestly don't know how anyone can come back from a lie this big.
35:49A lot of love and patience and time.
35:58Things look bleak now.
36:02Really bleak.
36:05But they won't be that way forever.
36:08Everyone will help Gio come to terms with his new reality.
36:12I'll do whatever I can.
36:16Me, too.
36:18You, uh...
36:20You may want to lay low for a little while.
36:24Fair point.
36:35You good?
36:37Yeah. Yeah.
36:40I'm gonna walk home.
36:42Night, Errol. Do me some good.
36:46I will.
36:48Good night.
37:16Look.
37:26No one would ever classify the Quaremains as perfect.
37:33But we're your family.
37:37I get that this isn't your fault.
37:42But I had a family.
37:45I had a mother who I loved more than anything.
37:50The mother that I lost.
37:54And now I find out that none of it was real. It was all a complete lie.
37:58Gio, it's not true.
37:59The family that is.
38:01The family that I do have.
38:03You, you guys.
38:05You, you.
38:08You're all a bunch of liars.
38:12So you'll have to excuse me if I don't jump on the Q bandwagon.
38:17Because it's just a lie. It's a big lie. Come on.
38:33On the next General Hospital...
38:35Have you even told me if your hand hadn't been forced?
38:37What's your excuse?
38:38Until you are in the exact same position, you 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?
