00:00I'm sorry it took me so long.
00:04Okay.
00:06What was so urgent?
00:08I'm sorry to drag you away from your family at this hour,
00:11but I really needed to talk to someone.
00:13About Michael coming home and taking Wiley from the nurse's ball.
00:17You heard?
00:17Yeah, well, I was home with Bailey Lou because she was sick
00:21and I watched the whole thing on TV.
00:23Is Willow completely freaking out?
00:25Well, what do you think?
00:26And it got even worse when Willow found out
00:28that Michael had Jason take Amelia, too.
00:32Michael has both kids.
00:35It's going to change everything for the custody hearing next week.
00:38The way I see it,
00:39the only way that Willow is going to be able
00:42to keep custody of those children
00:44is if she ends things with Drew.
00:47After declaring her love for him on the red carpet tonight?
00:51Oh.
00:53If there's one thing that could happen
00:56and I would push Willow over the edge.
00:59Oh, Nina.
01:01Are you going to tell Willow that you slept with Drew?
01:05Why would Jason abduct a child?
01:09Because he thinks he's above the law.
01:12That's why you got to arrest him.
01:14What exactly happened?
01:17We were at the nurse's ball,
01:18but according to the sitter,
01:19Jason showed up at our house and took Amelia.
01:22And went where?
01:23To Carly's, but they might not stay there,
01:25so you got to go, like now.
01:27Why would Jason take Amelia?
01:29Because Michael told him to.
01:30Michael's back from Germany?
01:35Michael showed up at the ball tonight
01:36and left with Wiley,
01:37and then Jason told Sonny
01:38that Amelia was already at Carly's.
01:40I assume Michael and Wiley
01:41were headed to Carly's, too.
01:42So what I'm hearing is
01:43the children are with their father.
01:46Technically, yes, but...
01:47Well, that's not kidnapping.
01:48Okay.
01:49Jason has no claim on Amelia,
01:51and he certainly was not welcome in my house.
01:53He terrorized the babysitter, Mac.
01:56The police have to do something.
01:57Michael, I...
02:02I just...
02:03Am I allowed to hug you?
02:07Get over here.
02:11I'm so happy.
02:12You're home.
02:14Can I have one of those?
02:19Oh, my God.
02:25Nothing's been the same without you.
02:27Thank you for getting Amelia
02:32and for running interference with them.
02:38And bringing Sasha was smart.
02:40You're welcome.
02:43I'm glad it worked out.
02:44Are we kids in bed?
02:45Yeah.
02:46Donna was already asleep when we got here.
02:48I told Pilar she could go home.
02:50I hope that's okay.
02:51Of course.
02:52Of course.
02:52I know it's getting kind of late,
02:56but...
02:57It'll be okay if we spend the night.
03:00Are you kidding me?
03:02More than okay.
03:04Donna's gonna be so thrilled
03:05when she wakes up in the morning
03:06and sees you at the breakfast table.
03:08And so will I.
03:10Your timing is...
03:12pretty impeccable.
03:13It really is.
03:14How did you know to come home?
03:23Why?
03:30I'm really sorry, Ned.
03:32Chase told me that it's all true.
03:38Brooklyn had a baby
03:41when she was practically a baby herself
03:46and you kept it from me?
03:48The biggest crisis of our daughter's life
03:53when she really needed support?
03:56Then where was her father?
03:59Nowhere!
04:01Because you cut me out!
04:06Gio.
04:07I was just thinking.
04:09Don't go.
04:10Please.
04:12Come on, Gio.
04:13We gotta tell you.
04:14Come on, don't leave like this.
04:15Don't you fuck me!
04:16You know, I have nothing to say to you.
04:20No, no, no, you don't understand, Gio.
04:21Dante didn't even know I was pregnant.
04:24He didn't know about you.
04:29What's your excuse?
04:46Did Brooklyn think that I would be angry with her?
05:02Ashamed of her?
05:04Disown her?
05:06Or did she think I just didn't care?
05:09No, it wasn't like that.
05:11Then what was it like, Lois?
05:13Because I was under the impression
05:15that Brooklyn and I, you know, were close.
05:18That she felt like she was comfortable
05:19enough to tell me anything.
05:22What teenage daughter wants to tell her father
05:24that she's pregnant?
05:27I don't even think Brooklyn wanted to tell me
05:29she was pregnant, but she needed my help.
05:32She felt so ashamed.
05:33Uh-huh.
05:34And then you reinforced that shame
05:36by covering it up?
05:38No.
05:40No, I did what I thought was best
05:42for our daughter.
05:45Brooklyn knew she didn't want to terminate
05:47the pregnancy, so I had to figure out a way
05:50how to get her out of town
05:52before she started showing
05:54so that she could have the baby.
05:56In private, I didn't want her whole life
05:58to be derailed because of one careless moment.
06:01I agree.
06:03I agree, and I would have supported your decision
06:06and hers.
06:07Lois, I would have helped.
06:09Maybe.
06:11Or maybe the Quartermains would have swooped in
06:15and taken the baby
06:17as if it were just another asset.
06:22I had a baby.
06:25I gave up for adoption.
06:27I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl.
06:29Or where they ended up just
06:31that they'd gone to a loving home.
06:33I certainly didn't know that it was you, Gio.
06:39You didn't want me.
06:43You gave me away.
06:44You forgot all about me.
06:46It's out of sight.
06:47It's out of mind.
06:48That couldn't be further from the truth, okay?
06:50It's not that I didn't want you or love you.
06:52I just wasn't ready for you.
06:56I was just a kid when I got pregnant, Gio.
06:58I never, ever forgot about me.
07:03You ever come looking for me?
07:08I didn't think it was right
07:09to just bust into your life
07:11and upend your whole world.
07:13Do you mean, like, what happened tonight?
07:15No, I wanted that.
07:16You're angry
07:18and you're confused
07:19to whom I am, too.
07:21Oh, I get it.
07:23I get it.
07:24You know, we've all been lied to.
07:26So, it doesn't make any difference
07:28what you think.
07:29No, it doesn't.
07:30But I am here to answer any questions
07:32that might make this easier for you.
07:35It's too late for any of your answers, okay?
07:37No, it's not.
07:38I'm leaving!
07:40Gio, please.
07:41Brooklyn.
07:41Brooklyn.
07:42Brooklyn.
07:46Sweetheart, look at me.
07:51You have to let him go.
08:02Drew has sold Willow
08:03on this whole fairy tale romance
08:05that he can't fight his feelings for her
08:08because he's so in love with her.
08:11Meanwhile, the whole time,
08:12he's sleeping with her mom.
08:14That will never not sound gross.
08:16But if I tell Willow that,
08:18she will finally see Drew
08:20for the liar that he is, right?
08:22I mean, she has to see that.
08:24Yeah.
08:25One would only hope.
08:27But, you know,
08:28Willow breaking up with Drew
08:29does not guarantee
08:31she's going to get back together
08:32with Michael.
08:32No, I don't care about that.
08:33All that matters
08:34is we need to get Michael
08:36to a more equitable place
08:39regarding custody.
08:40Hmm.
08:43You think he'll be
08:44in a more equitable place
08:46if Drew is out of the picture?
08:48Exactly.
08:49Yes.
08:49But I don't know
08:52if I have the guts
08:53to do it.
08:56What if I lose her?
08:58Yeah.
08:59You could.
09:01Telling Willow the truth
09:02is definitely a gamble.
09:03A huge gamble.
09:05Huge.
09:06Because she's going to know
09:07that I sat back,
09:08I said nothing.
09:09Why?
09:09She threw her life away
09:11for a man who I knew
09:13was lying to her
09:15the entire time.
09:19She's never going to
09:20forgive me for that.
09:24As a mother myself,
09:25I know that I should be honest
09:27with Willow.
09:27I should just tell her the truth.
09:29Willow is going to be really hurt,
09:31but she might have a chance
09:32to hold on to her children.
09:35But also as a mother,
09:36I can't.
09:37I can't bear the thought
09:42of losing her.
09:43Especially now that
09:44we're so close.
09:45I mean,
09:46it sounds really selfish,
09:47doesn't it?
09:47No, no, Nina.
09:48It doesn't, okay?
09:50I get it.
09:52You did not get the chance
09:54to raise your two girls.
09:57I wouldn't want to jeopardize
09:58that relationship either.
10:00I didn't get a chance
10:02to be a mother to now.
10:03Willow is my only child,
10:07and if she turns her back
10:09on me,
10:09I have...
10:10Maybe just stay quiet
10:15for now, okay?
10:17The custody hearing
10:18could go Willow's way.
10:19Oh, I'm hoping for that,
10:21but Maxie,
10:23at this point,
10:24I can't see
10:26how Michael can lose.
10:27Yeah, as soon as
10:32I was strong enough
10:33to think about coming home,
10:34I called Diane
10:34to discuss the custody case.
10:37She told me about
10:37the court date,
10:38and I arranged
10:40for a flight back home ASAP.
10:43I didn't realize
10:44how far along
10:46in your healing journey
10:47you are.
10:47I mean,
10:48have you been
10:49holding out on us?
10:51Kind of.
10:52At first,
10:53I just didn't want
10:53to get you guys' hopes up,
10:55but then I talked to Diane,
10:56and I figured,
10:58you know,
10:59keeping my return
11:00as a surprise
11:00is probably
11:01the best strategy.
11:02Well, Willow
11:02was definitely surprised.
11:05I'll get it.
11:08I knew everyone
11:09would be at the nurse's ball,
11:10and I figured
11:11that was the best time
11:11to get the kids back.
11:14I'm so happy you're here.
11:16All my kids
11:17under one roof,
11:18I'm a happy mom.
11:19No, this is just temporary,
11:21right?
11:22That's okay.
11:22Let me have it.
11:26Knock.
11:29What are you doing here?
11:32Investigating a kidnapping.
11:39Lois,
11:40you've always had a problem
11:41with my family,
11:43but even you
11:43have to admit
11:44that the Quartermains
11:45would have loved
11:46Brooklyn's child.
11:47And even you
11:48have to admit
11:49that they would have felt
11:50that they were
11:50within their rights
11:51to control
11:52that child.
11:54Gio had the right
11:56to grow up
11:57to be whoever
11:58and whatever
11:59he wanted to be.
12:01So you gave him
12:03to your cousin,
12:05Camilla?
12:06It was my mom's idea,
12:08but when she
12:09floated it to me,
12:10I was on board.
12:12Gio grew up
12:13happy and healthy,
12:15and we were right there
12:17in case anything
12:18went wrong.
12:19we weren't thinking
12:21of how it would
12:22affect people
12:2320 years later.
12:26I've been living
12:27with my own grandson
12:29for over a year.
12:30I know it wasn't fair.
12:36I really felt like
12:38it was the best solution
12:40for everyone,
12:41and I told myself
12:43that doing right
12:45by Brooklyn and Gio
12:47would have been
12:48what you wanted.
12:49Was I wrong?
12:51You were right
12:52when you said
12:54your decision
12:54wasn't fair.
12:57That's one way
12:58of putting it.
12:59Liv.
13:03I'm sorry
13:03I kept you waiting.
13:05Let's get out of here.
13:07I'm done here.
13:09No, you go on ahead.
13:11I gotta have some words
13:12with my good friend.
13:13He's our kid.
13:14Yeah, our kid.
13:17Our kid
13:17that you never told me about.
13:21A kid that I barely know
13:22because what you decided
13:24that I shouldn't know
13:27that I had a son.
13:27I'm gonna let you two
13:29talk privately.
13:32I, uh...
13:34I want you to do me a favor.
13:39I want you to try
13:41to not let your pain...
13:43both of you
13:46obscure the fact
13:48you met your son.
13:51and he's a wonderful boy.
13:56I...
13:56You have every right to hate me.
14:20I don't hate you, Brooklyn.
14:25I just don't know
14:26why you didn't tell me.
14:30When I got pregnant
14:31I was completely freaked out, Dante.
14:36All I could think
14:37was that I screwed up
14:38and I was in huge trouble
14:41and I didn't want you
14:41to have to deal
14:42with that trouble too.
14:43Why?
14:43That was our trouble.
14:44Together
14:45you had our kid inside you,
14:46not just yours.
14:47We didn't make any promises
14:48to each other.
14:50We're just a couple kids
14:51caught up in a summer romance.
14:53Wasn't making any future plans,
14:55were you?
14:55No.
14:56Obviously not.
14:57I didn't think past
14:57whatever moment felt good.
14:59Exactly.
15:00So think back
15:01to you that summer.
15:02What would you have done
15:03if I would have told you?
15:04I don't know.
15:06I have no idea
15:07because you never gave me
15:08the chance
15:09to have a choice.
15:12What I do know
15:13is that I cared about you
15:14and respected the hell out of you
15:16and you returned that sentiment
15:17by lying to my face
15:19every chance you had
15:20for...
15:2222 years.
15:2422 years.
15:29This is really important
15:30to my mom.
15:32Since I got back
15:33to Port Charles,
15:36whenever I need
15:36a minute to think,
15:38I come here.
15:43It's peaceful.
15:45Yeah.
15:47It is.
15:51I thought maybe
15:52you could take a minute
15:53to catch your breath.
15:55Decide what you want
15:56to do next.
15:59It looks like
16:01we're going to be here
16:01a while
16:02because I have
16:03no idea.
16:14I lied, yes.
16:16And I am sorry.
16:19But it was an awful situation
16:20and I did what I had to do.
16:24Sounds to me
16:24like you just did
16:25whatever was easiest.
16:27None of this was easy,
16:28Dante.
16:30I was a knocked-up teenager.
16:32I didn't know the first thing
16:33about what it meant
16:33to be a mom.
16:34Don't pretend for a second
16:36like you were ready
16:36to be a dad.
16:37I'm not and I wasn't
16:38but I'd like to think
16:39that if you had told me
16:40I would have done
16:41the right thing
16:41and stepped up.
16:46Look, I get why
16:47scared teenage Brooklyn
16:48didn't want to tell me
16:49but why?
16:51Why not now?
16:53We're friends.
16:56Like, why didn't you
16:56tell me it?
16:59I don't know,
16:59some point,
17:00any point over the last
17:01what,
17:02ten?
17:02Ten years, say.
17:04Too much time had passed.
17:07The fallout just felt like
17:09it would have been worse
17:09and worse
17:10and the whole thing
17:12just snowballed
17:13and then I felt like
17:15the only choice I had
17:16was to keep it buried.
17:18Would you have even told me
17:20if your hand
17:20hadn't been forced?
17:27Dante, you have to understand.
17:29When I gave up that baby
17:31I thought that it was
17:32completely in the past
17:34a person that
17:34I would only meet
17:36if they came looking for me
17:38and I finally made peace
17:40with the fact
17:41that he never did.
17:42I even learned
17:43to become grateful for it
17:44because it meant that
17:46he was content
17:47in his own life, right?
17:48I had no clue
17:50that it was Gio
17:51or that we were all
17:52living in the same house.
17:58So,
17:59Gloria and Lois,
18:01obviously they knew,
18:03right?
18:06Who else?
18:09Brooklyn?
18:12Oh, thank God.
18:14Is it really Gio?
18:28Olivia,
18:30there is nothing
18:31you can say to me
18:32that I haven't already
18:33said to myself.
18:36You're my best friend,
18:37Lois.
18:37since preschool.
18:41I mean,
18:42we did everything together
18:44our entire lives,
18:46at least I thought we did.
18:48How could you?
18:50Brooklyn didn't want
18:52anyone to know
18:53but me and her
18:54and I needed help
18:57so obviously
18:57I told my mom.
18:59Wait,
18:59there is nothing about this
19:02that is obvious to me,
19:03Lois.
19:04you are the closest thing
19:06I have ever had
19:06to a sister.
19:08I could never keep
19:10something like this
19:11from you
19:11until you
19:13are in the exact
19:14same position.
19:16You can't say that.
19:18I did
19:20what I thought
19:20was best
19:21for Brooklyn and Gio.
19:23They were my priority.
19:24another lie.
19:26What?
19:27You did
19:28what was best
19:29for you.
19:31You set it up
19:32so that you could
19:33keep your grandson
19:34close and not have
19:35to share them
19:36with anyone.
19:37Wow.
19:37Not even his mother.
19:39Shame on you.
19:40Shame.
19:41Shame.
19:42Shame on me.
19:42Well, I guess
19:43that glass house
19:44that you're living in
19:45must help you
19:46see everything
19:47so clearly.
19:48Excuse me?
19:49Excuse you?
19:50How dare
19:52you look down on me.
19:54when you didn't
19:55even tell Sonny
19:56that Dante
19:56was his son?
20:00His whole strategy
20:01for the custody hearing
20:02was to portray
20:03Michael as an
20:04absentee father
20:05who just took off
20:06on his kids.
20:07To have some fun
20:09in the burn unit?
20:10I didn't say
20:11it was foolproof,
20:12Maxie,
20:13but it's not gonna
20:14work anyway
20:14because Michael
20:15is home.
20:16Yeah, okay,
20:17so that strategy
20:17is gonna have to change,
20:19but Rick is nothing
20:20if not a good lawyer.
20:21No, he is a good lawyer
20:22and I hope he pulls out
20:24all the stops
20:25for a win.
20:26Yeah.
20:27You know,
20:28Sasha told me
20:29he served her
20:29with a subpoena.
20:30What?
20:31Why?
20:32I don't know.
20:33Probably because
20:33she lives at the
20:34Quarter Main's.
20:35You might think
20:35she heard or saw
20:36something that could
20:37work in Willow's favor.
20:38Why don't you
20:39look happy about that?
20:40It's just that
20:41Sasha is not
20:42Willow's biggest fan
20:43right now
20:43and she'll probably
20:44be a Hussah witness
20:46now that Jason
20:47is in the mix
20:48and Jason
20:48thinks of Michael
20:49as a son.
20:50I know,
20:51I still can't believe
20:52the whole Sasha
20:53and Jason thing.
20:54If Cody hadn't
20:55blown her cover story,
20:56I would have believed
20:57that Sasha
20:58met some guy
20:59at a bar
21:00the night she
21:00found out about
21:01Cody
21:02being her cousin.
21:04Yeah.
21:05She said she met
21:06some random guy
21:07who was also
21:08having a rough night.
21:09They got drunk together
21:10and, you know,
21:12hooked up.
21:13That was a pretty
21:14elaborate story
21:15to make up.
21:15Yeah,
21:16but I guess
21:16that's all it was.
21:17The story.
21:19I mean,
21:19why else would she
21:20let people believe
21:20that Jason
21:21is the father
21:22of her baby?
21:23And it's not like
21:23Jason has loyalty
21:25towards Sasha
21:26or a reason
21:27to protect her.
21:28Yeah,
21:28that's true.
21:29I mean,
21:29Jason wouldn't do
21:30that for just
21:30just anyone.
21:38Wait,
21:38wait,
21:38wait,
21:38Maxie,
21:40when did you say
21:40that Sasha
21:41met this random guy?
21:44Um,
21:45it was the night
21:46before Halloween.
21:48I remember
21:49because it was
21:50the night before
21:50Sam died.
21:54Oh,
21:55I have to go.
21:56Bailey's awake
21:57and she's asking
21:57for me.
21:58Spinelli's with her,
21:59but, you know.
22:00Only a mommy
22:01will do.
22:01I know.
22:02I keep telling myself
22:03I'm going to miss
22:04this phase,
22:04but I'm not
22:05very convincing.
22:06Well,
22:07thanks for the talk,
22:08Maxie.
22:09Yeah,
22:09of course.
22:10I'm sorry
22:10I wasn't more
22:11of a help.
22:11Actually,
22:13you're more
22:14help than
22:15you know.
22:16Okay,
22:17love you.
22:22Do you know
22:23what would make
22:23this night
22:24even better?
22:25It would be
22:25if you could
22:26stay the night.
22:27Oh,
22:28are you sure
22:28the house
22:29isn't full?
22:30Never full.
22:30My house
22:31is never too full.
22:32Riley and Amelia
22:33would be pretty pumped
22:33to see you
22:34in the morning.
22:34Oh,
22:35well,
22:35in that case,
22:35yes,
22:36absolutely.
22:36We'll spend
22:37the night.
22:38Yeah,
22:38slumber party.
22:40You should
22:40probably leave
22:41them to it.
22:43Thank you
22:43again
22:44for all your
22:45help with Amelia.
22:46I was happy
22:47to do it.
22:49Welcome home,
22:49Michael.
22:50I'll walk you out.
22:55Thank you
22:55for everything.
23:01Really proud
23:02of you.
23:04Are you okay?
23:12I don't know
23:12what I am.
23:15So you knew
23:16not about Gio.
23:19About the baby.
23:23Brooklyn told me
23:24a few months ago.
23:26And you didn't think
23:27that's something
23:27I should know?
23:29It wasn't my secret
23:30to tell.
23:30She wanted to tell you,
23:31but I begged him
23:32not to.
23:32Why?
23:32I gave the baby
23:34up so he could
23:35have the best
23:35life possible.
23:36It was my job
23:37to protect that life.
23:38Protect him
23:39from who?
23:39Protect him
23:40from me?
23:40I know you,
23:41Dante.
23:41You would have
23:42stopped at nothing
23:43until you found
23:43our son.
23:44And that wouldn't
23:45have been fair
23:46to him.
23:46Being confronted
23:47by his biological
23:48parents would have
23:49completely upended
23:50his life.
23:51And tonight
23:52proved it.
23:52I didn't tell Sonny
23:57about Dante
23:58because I had
23:59to protect
23:59our son.
24:01I had to protect
24:03Dante
24:03from being weaponized
24:05by one of his
24:06father's enemies.
24:07What the hell
24:08were you protecting
24:09Gio from?
24:10I didn't lock him up
24:12and keep him
24:13in a tower.
24:14He grew up
24:15in the neighborhood
24:16surrounded by the
24:17best people
24:18in the world.
24:19he was happy
24:20and he didn't
24:21want for anything.
24:23Except his
24:23real parents.
24:25Lois,
24:26who coincidentally
24:27were living
24:27right down the street.
24:29He didn't long
24:29for his biological
24:31parents because
24:32he had a mother
24:33who loved him.
24:34Until he didn't.
24:37You let that kid
24:39be orphaned,
24:40Lois,
24:41and his mother
24:42and father
24:42were right there.
24:44No,
24:44because by then
24:45it was too late.
24:47Choices were made
24:48and I had
24:49to respect them.
24:50You want to talk
24:51about choices?
24:53Just tell me,
24:55did you ever
24:55even talk
24:56to Brooklyn
24:57about the possibility
24:59of keeping her baby?
25:00Brooklyn knew
25:02she wasn't ready
25:04to be a mother.
25:05Nobody is ready
25:06to be a mother,
25:07Lois.
25:07You think I was ready
25:08to be a mother
25:09when I got pregnant
25:10with Dante?
25:12But keeping him
25:13was the single
25:14best decision
25:14I ever made.
25:15Yeah,
25:16and Dante grew up
25:17to be a really
25:18great kid.
25:19Amen!
25:19Yeah,
25:20but it came
25:21at an incredible cost,
25:23didn't it?
25:23That's not true.
25:25Are you kidding me?
25:27You had to give up
25:29so much
25:30when you gave birth
25:31to Dante.
25:32You went from
25:33the life of the party
25:34to a scared,
25:35tired,
25:36single mother.
25:37And Brooklyn knew
25:38she didn't want
25:39that for herself.
25:40I knew I didn't
25:41want that for her.
25:42We could have
25:44helped the most.
25:46You and me.
25:48We could have
25:49helped them.
25:50And for the record,
25:51I sacrificed
25:54nothing.
25:56My God.
25:58I really don't know
25:59you at all,
26:00do I?
26:02If this is the real
26:03you,
26:04I don't want
26:05to know you.
26:06Okay,
26:18go ahead,
26:19Sonny,
26:19have at it.
26:20I deserve it.
26:22Everyone else
26:23has already
26:24taken their shot.
26:26You have to have
26:27known I would have,
26:28I would have helped.
26:33You did help.
26:34You didn't even
26:36know Gio was
26:37your grandson.
26:39I could have
26:39done more.
26:40You know that,
26:41Lois.
26:42Sonny,
26:43when Brooklyn
26:46got pregnant,
26:48we didn't even
26:49know that Dante
26:50was your son.
26:53When did
26:53Camilla die?
26:56When she died,
26:58all that other
26:59truth was coming
27:00out.
27:01All of Olivia's
27:02truth,
27:02that you had
27:03so much
27:05on your plate.
27:06I didn't want
27:08to add another
27:08Whopper on top
27:09of it,
27:09and I,
27:11I couldn't
27:13do that
27:13to Gio.
27:15So,
27:16Gio lost
27:17his mother.
27:18Did you not
27:19think that maybe
27:20he would want
27:20to be around
27:21more family?
27:25Yes,
27:26but Gio,
27:28he loved
27:31Camilla.
27:33I'm telling you,
27:35Sonny,
27:36those two,
27:36they had,
27:37they had an
27:38otherworldly
27:39connection to each
27:41other,
27:42and I,
27:42I couldn't,
27:43I couldn't take it
27:45away from Gio,
27:46too.
27:47So,
27:47this whole
27:48secret was about
27:49protecting Brooklyn?
27:51Until it became a
27:52secret to protect
27:53Gio.
27:53so when you asked
27:57me to pay for
27:58Gio's music,
28:00you were trying
28:01to give me
28:02a relationship
28:02with my grandson?
28:06son.
28:07Yeah,
28:08I was.
28:10I thought,
28:11I thought that way
28:14I could share him
28:15with you
28:17without the truth
28:19coming out,
28:20you know,
28:20and ruining all,
28:22all these lives.
28:24I wish it had been
28:28different,
28:30but I appreciate
28:34what you were
28:34trying to do.
28:35I appreciate
28:40you saying
28:41Brooklyn
28:44and
28:45and Olivia,
28:47but Don,
28:49my daughter
28:49and my best friend,
28:50they want nothing
28:51to do with me
28:52anymore.
28:58Chase,
28:59I'm glad
29:00you're here.
29:02Dante
29:02is
29:02very hurt
29:05and very angry.
29:07Dante has a right
29:08to everything
29:08he's feeling.
29:09Dante's still here.
29:10Yes,
29:11you are,
29:11and your anger
29:13is
29:13justifiable.
29:17Just don't
29:18direct it at Brooklyn.
29:20Direct it at Lois
29:21and her
29:22unilateral
29:23decision-making
29:25because that's
29:26what got us
29:26into this fiasco.
29:28I just can't believe
29:29that she betrayed
29:29my trust like this.
29:31I was mad enough
29:32when I found out
29:33that she confided
29:33in Grandma Gloria,
29:34but I didn't even
29:35know the half of it.
29:36She let me worry
29:38and wonder
29:40how my baby
29:42turned out
29:42and all the while
29:43she was watching
29:44him grow up.
29:46That's
29:46unforgivable.
29:50Dante,
29:50you asked
29:51if anyone knew
29:51besides my mom,
29:52my grandma.
29:53My grandma
29:53was the only one.
29:55Well,
29:55she didn't tell you.
29:56Go ahead,
29:57no.
29:58So,
29:59how the hell
29:59did he find out?
30:01Then,
30:02why now?
30:02Where are the kids?
30:09At Carly's,
30:09fast asleep.
30:10I looked in
30:11on them myself.
30:12Well,
30:13they should be
30:13with their mother.
30:15Mac,
30:15do I have to go
30:16above your head?
30:17You can try,
30:19but it won't do you
30:20any good.
30:22What is this?
30:24It's court order
30:25granting Michael
30:26emergency custody
30:27of Wiley and Amelia
30:28until the hearing
30:29to you a second.
30:30What?
30:31On what grounds?
30:34You can see
30:34it's all legal
30:35and above board.
30:36There's nothing
30:36I can do.
30:41I am so happy
30:42you're home
30:42for a million
30:43and one reasons,
30:44but mostly
30:45for Wiley and Amelia.
30:46They need you.
30:47I need them too.
30:49Being away from
30:50the kids
30:50was the hardest
30:51part of my recovery.
30:52I'm going to go
30:54get ready for bed.
30:56I'm so glad
30:57you're here.
30:57Me too.
30:58I love you both.
31:00Love you.
31:05Okay.
31:07You told Diane
31:08to move on
31:09with the hearing
31:09without telling me?
31:12I did.
31:14I wanted you
31:15to focus
31:15on your recovery,
31:16but if you think
31:17I overstepped,
31:17you can just tell me.
31:19No.
31:20No, you did
31:21the right thing.
31:24Oh, my God.
31:26I'm so relieved
31:27to hear you say.
31:31Are you sure
31:32you're okay?
31:34You didn't leave
31:35your recovery
31:35too soon.
31:36Even if I did,
31:37I don't care.
31:39It was time
31:39for me to come home.
31:50Hi.
31:51Oh, excuse me.
31:53I am so sorry.
31:54What can I do
31:54for you?
31:55Yeah, you didn't
31:56happen to work
31:58here the night
31:59before Halloween.
32:01Oh, man.
32:02That's some time
32:03back.
32:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:04It was actually
32:05the night that
32:06Congressman Cain
32:07got punched
32:08by that patron.
32:09I was here.
32:10I witnessed it,
32:10and I think
32:11I asked you
32:12to call the police.
32:14Right.
32:15Yeah, that was me.
32:16Why do you ask?
32:17Oh, it's just
32:17a friend of mine
32:19came here
32:20the same night,
32:21just a little later,
32:22and I was wondering
32:25if you remember
32:26seeing her.
32:28Sasha Corbin,
32:29the deception model?
32:30I've always had
32:32a huge crush on her.
32:33Yeah, well,
32:34you have excellent taste.
32:36She was hitting
32:37the vodka
32:37pretty hard that night.
32:39Oh, well,
32:39did she meet up
32:41with somebody?
32:42I'm not into gossip.
32:43Yeah,
32:44I totally get it,
32:46but I don't like
32:47to gossip either.
32:48I mean,
32:48really,
32:49if you think about it,
32:50who does?
32:50but, um,
32:51I will make it
32:54worth your while.
32:59The dude
33:00did eventually
33:00join her.
33:02Oh,
33:03and would you
33:04be able to
33:05ID him?
33:06You don't forget
33:06someone who gives
33:07you a $500 tip.
33:08Yeah,
33:09I'm sure,
33:10I'm sure you don't,
33:11right?
33:12Um,
33:14was this him?
33:17No,
33:18he's definitely
33:18not the guy.
33:20Please don't do this.
33:30I have to try.
33:32Well,
33:33then,
33:33at least let me
33:34come with you.
33:35The guards won't
33:35let you in.
33:36Well,
33:36I'll convince them.
33:37Drew,
33:38we both know
33:38your presence
33:39won't make things
33:39easier.
33:43Okay.
33:45I just know
33:46that I'm gonna be
33:46right here
33:47if you need me.
33:49I know.
33:50it told me
34:05to stay away
34:06from her
34:07and from Gio.
34:11It's tough.
34:14Sunny,
34:14I'm so afraid
34:15I've lost
34:16them both.
34:30I couldn't believe it
34:31when my Aunt Lois
34:33said that.
34:36My Aunt Lois,
34:37who is really
34:38my grandmother,
34:40Lois.
34:40your hand
34:42must have
34:42practically
34:43exploded.
34:45That's what
34:46happened when
34:46she said
34:46that Dante
34:47and Brooklyn
34:47were my parents.
34:50I must have
34:51been screwed.
34:54Completely.
34:57You know,
34:57I was still
34:58in the days
34:58when you
34:59found me.
35:01I knew
35:02that something
35:02was wrong.
35:03You insisted
35:04on playing,
35:05so...
35:05the show
35:07must go on,
35:07right?
35:11And when
35:11I looked
35:12down to
35:12the audience,
35:14I saw
35:15my family.
35:21The people
35:21that I had
35:22known
35:22my entire
35:23life.
35:23I mean...
35:28A part
35:28of me
35:29just shut
35:29down,
35:30and the
35:30other part
35:30of me
35:30just lost
35:31it.
35:32Completely.
35:35I don't
35:35blame you.
35:42All I could
35:43think was...
35:45Did I know?
35:47Ted,
35:49Olivia,
35:50Sonia,
35:50my grandparents.
35:53Is that why
35:57Sonia paid
35:57for my music
35:58school
35:58my entire
35:59life?
36:01I mean,
36:01it could be.
36:03Though I know
36:04from my mom
36:04that Sonia
36:05helps people
36:05whether they're
36:06family or not.
36:13Can I ask
36:14you something?
36:16Sure.
36:20Why'd you
36:21smash your
36:21violin?
36:23I know
36:25how important
36:25it is to you.
36:30Because my
36:31violin was
36:32the biggest
36:33lie of all.
36:36Brooklyn,
36:37can I get
36:37you anything?
36:39Yeah,
36:39what do you
36:39need?
36:40I have no
36:41idea.
36:42Look,
36:43it's been a
36:43pretty rough
36:44day.
36:45You know,
36:45you should
36:45go to bed,
36:47start fresh
36:47in the morning.
36:48I don't know
36:48you.
36:53I'll be
36:55up soon.
36:56Okay,
36:57I just need
36:57a minute
36:57with my dad.
37:12Michael,
37:13please,
37:15don't do this.
37:16don't take
37:18my children
37:18away from me.
37:23You're
37:23absolutely
37:24positive that
37:25this wasn't
37:26the man with
37:27Sasha Corbin
37:28that night.
37:30It's Jason
37:30Morgan.
37:31He comes in here
37:31all the time.
37:32It wasn't him.
37:34Oh.
37:35Well,
37:36the other
37:36man,
37:37the big
37:37tipper,
37:38did he
37:38leave with
37:39Sasha?
37:40They got
37:40hammered.
37:41They had
37:41their hands
37:42all over
37:42each other
37:42before they
37:43left.
37:44Yeah.
37:46They left
37:46together.
37:48Lucky
37:49bastard.
37:57It wasn't
37:59this man,
38:00was it?
38:00Yeah,
38:04that's the
38:05guy.
38:15On the next
38:16General Hospital.
38:17My son never
38:18gives me the
38:19chance to love him.
38:20Where you go,
38:21I go.
38:22I guess
38:22congratulations
38:23are in order.
38:23It didn't have
38:24to be like this.
38:25He gets his way,
38:25I'll never see
38:26them again.
38:27Is there any
38:27room for a
38:28compromise?
38:29You think I did
38:29this to Winnie
38:30back?
