00:00Well, I guess congratulations are in order.
00:30You and my son are grandparents.
00:42Dad, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about the baby.
00:45It wasn't because I didn't trust you or love you or...
00:48It's okay, Brooklyn. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. It's okay.
00:54I understand.
01:00Why did you smash your violin?
01:05I know how important it is to you.
01:07Because my violin was the biggest lie of all.
01:17I always thought I got my talent from my mom.
01:21She was a virtuoso violinist, so I would be, too.
01:27And, uh, after she died, my violin made me feel close to her.
01:37Like I was carrying a piece of her with me.
01:39Now it turns out she wasn't my mom.
01:50I'd ask why you're here, but I'm guessing I already know.
01:53You know, it's been a pretty messed up night, so I don't really want to go around in circles with you.
02:06And that's not...
02:07Great.
02:07It looks like it was you.
02:12You're the one who told Gio that Brooklyn hired his parents.
02:19Good night.
02:20Yeah.
02:21Oh, you know what?
02:22I just...
02:22I want to say, uh, thanks again.
02:25I think it really helped having you there when I picked up Amelia.
02:28I'm just so relieved that Michael is back.
02:32Yeah, me too.
02:32He deserves to be at home with his children.
02:41Willow, I'm not discussing the kids' custody with you right now.
02:44Go home.
02:45At least let me just...
02:47Let me say goodnight, then.
02:48They're asleep.
02:49A kiss.
02:50A kiss.
02:51No.
02:52Michael, this isn't right.
02:54You know the kids belong with me.
02:57Not anymore.
03:02Brooklyn.
03:03Brooklyn, no.
03:33She told you how I accidentally found out she had your son and gave him up for adoption?
03:40She assumed you were the one who figured out that that baby was Gio.
03:47So you did tell him?
03:50No.
03:52But I did confront Lois in a dressing room at the nurse's ball.
03:57Gio must have overheard us.
03:59Why'd you do that?
04:00Who are you, Dante?
04:02I thought you deserved to know the truth.
04:05I was only trying to help.
04:08You tried to help?
04:09Well, you didn't help.
04:10You didn't help anyone, Lulu.
04:12You just made everything worse.
04:15I thought you could use this.
04:25Could I ever.
04:28Are you alright?
04:30Honestly, I don't know how I am.
04:36Right.
04:37Gio Balmieri is my grandson.
04:40And he always has been.
04:43I remember when he was just a little baby.
04:47Oh, God.
04:48Tracy, the whole neighborhood fell in love with that kid.
04:51I bet.
04:52He was such a good baby.
04:57I used to hold him all the time.
05:02I mean, I should have felt it.
05:06I should have felt that I was holding my own flesh and blood.
05:12You were not psychic.
05:17At least not then.
05:22How could Lewis do this to me?
05:25It's in Ned.
05:27Oh, God.
05:28Have you talked to him?
05:30Briefly.
05:31He's staying with him.
05:33Brooklyn.
05:34Your understanding means everything to me.
05:42But, Dad, you have to be disappointed.
05:44I mean, I kept this huge secret and your grandson from you.
05:49Do I wish that you had come to me when you were scared and in trouble?
05:53Yes.
05:55But it was your life, Brooklyn.
05:58And I'm not gonna second guess any choices that you made back then.
06:02And your mother's choices, on the other hand.
06:05She never told me that Gio was my son.
06:07I know.
06:09I talked to her.
06:10And she knows exactly how I feel about this entire thing.
06:14I'll deal with Ma at some point.
06:15But for now, all I can think about is...
06:20Gio.
06:23I've wanted to meet my child for so long.
06:26I've even dreamt about it.
06:28How wonderful it would be, but...
06:30This is a total nightmare.
06:36Well, I am glad Michael's back, and I'm happy that he gets to be with his kids.
06:40But when it comes to you and the baby, nothing's changed.
06:46If you need anything at all, you can ask me.
06:50And obviously we need to keep people believing that I'm still the father.
06:54Especially with Michael's custody suit coming up.
06:58I just want to say that your support during this whole thing has been...
07:02It's been amazing.
07:04Michael is a really good guy.
07:07And he's an even better father.
07:09Which probably sounds strange coming from me given the fact that I've asked him to stay out of our child's life.
07:19I understand everything a little better now that it's not about Michael, it's about what you need.
07:24Still, it feels a little hypocritical.
07:30But I have no problem helping Michael take Willow's kids away from her, but I expect him to let me raise this baby without any interference.
07:40I mean, those are two different situations.
07:43I mean, Michael trusts you to be a good mother.
07:46He can't say that about Willow.
07:49Not anymore.
07:51It's so sad.
07:53It's like nothing matters to her but Drew.
07:57And she's about to lose her children because of it.
08:03How could you say that the kids don't belong with me? I am their mother.
08:07I am their mother.
08:09You should only have to.
08:11I am not only their mother. I have been their sole parent for months now.
08:14I take them to school. I pack their lunches. I tuck them in.
08:18And you also uprooted them from their home and forced them to play family with their great uncle and second cousin.
08:23I didn't force Wiley and Amelia to do anything.
08:26Oh. Oh, so you did ask them what they wanted then.
08:29I didn't have to. Wiley and Amelia love Drew and Scout and their new home.
08:32That's funny because every time that I talked to Wiley, he always asked me the same two questions.
08:38When do you come back?
08:40And when can Amelia and I go home?
08:43Wiley said that.
08:46Every time.
08:48That's when it hit me.
08:50You've been putting your own wants and desires above the kids' welfare.
08:54And that ends now.
08:56You have no right to take them from you.
08:58That court order says otherwise.
08:59Michael, a temporary court order?
09:02At the hearing next week, I'm going to be seeking full custody.
09:06You would do that?
09:08You would keep Wiley and Amelia from their own mother?
09:12If I have to, absolutely.
09:13Maybe you can still have a relationship with our kids.
09:19In one condition.
09:24Hey, Sash.
09:25Hey.
09:27There's some leftovers I can heat up if you're looking for a snack.
09:30Oh, no thanks.
09:32I just came to check on Dante, see...
09:35See how he's doing.
09:37But a year he said that he left.
09:39Why wouldn't Dante be alright?
09:42You didn't hear about what happened at the nurses' ball.
09:48You should go.
09:49I'll be fine.
09:52Gio, I'm never going to tell you what to do or tell you how you should feel.
09:56But I don't want to leave you alone right now.
09:59Okay, we could drive somewhere and talk and I could listen.
10:03Or, you know, you could ignore me altogether.
10:06Just let me stay.
10:10I don't need a babysitter.
10:13Dante, I am so sorry.
10:16I never meant for things to come out like this.
10:20Then you should have minded your own damn business.
10:23I couldn't.
10:24I just kept thinking about my experience with Charlotte and all the time that we missed out on.
10:34I didn't want you and Gio to miss out on anymore.
10:37You know, I get that.
10:39I get that.
10:41Because why didn't you tell me I had a son?
10:43Because Brooklyn begged me not to.
10:44Come on, you've never cared about Brooklyn's feelings.
10:46I mean, you're writing an adoption article for crying out loud just to get under her skin.
10:51That is not what I'm...
10:52And then you want to go around and prove to everyone that Gio's our son.
10:54I never went out to search for your son.
10:58But then stuff had just...
11:02Things started happening that made me suspect it was Gio.
11:05And then it wasn't just that Brooklyn was keeping a secret from you.
11:09She was blatantly lying to you.
11:11Except she wasn't because she didn't know it was Gio.
11:14But she knew!
11:15And that's the key to all of this.
11:18I can buy that you wanted to bring me and my son together.
11:23But I feel like you're still doing all this just to make Brooklyn look bad.
11:28No!
11:29It's like...
11:31It's like you just want everyone to see she's as bad as you want to make her out to be.
11:35And maybe she is because she did keep my son from me.
11:38I know!
11:39But it doesn't excuse anything that you did.
11:42You allowed this petty rivalry that you have with her to upend everyone's lives.
11:49So many lives.
11:50And you know what? The one who paid the biggest price...
12:01And the only one innocent in all of this...
12:04Is Gio.
12:08What is this one condition?
12:11I'll allow you access to Wily and Amelia if you end your relationship with Drew.
12:18You're serious.
12:19I have to move out of his house and no longer have any contact with him.
12:23Are you really this spiteful?
12:26You hate seeing me happy this much.
12:29I don't really care if you're happy or not, Willow.
12:32But I don't want that man around my kids.
12:36Oh no, he's that man.
12:38No, my uncle is an awful person and being with him has made you awful.
12:42I am not an awful person.
12:44Well then you're doing a great impression of one.
12:45Since you took up with him your life has completely imploded and instead of course correcting you have made one bad decision after another.
12:53So it's time to choose, Willow.
12:56Who do you love more?
12:57Who do you love more?
12:59True?
13:01Or our kids?
13:02ble here.
13:03Who do you love more?
13:05One of the kids.
13:08Some kinds of old kids!
13:09How did it go?
13:36Take me home.
13:37Willow.
13:39Please.
13:40I just, I want to get out of here.
13:48Thanks for coming back.
13:52Mom and Jocelyn are upstairs, but I figure we should talk out here just in case.
13:56Just in case your mom tries to eavesdrop.
13:59I just want to thank you again for everything you did tonight.
14:04And for looking out for Sasha while I was gone.
14:09It's no big deal.
14:11Yeah, it is.
14:13You let everyone think that you're the father of her baby.
14:16I would do anything to protect you and your kids.
14:20I just, I don't know, it feels wrong.
14:30I'm sitting on the sidelines.
14:32I'll help Sasha with anything.
14:34Yeah.
14:35But it wasn't your choice.
14:37Sasha wants to raise this baby on her own.
14:40And you can't, you can't give Drew and Willow any more ammunition to use against you.
14:44Yeah.
14:45Seeing Sasha tonight.
14:46It really hit me.
14:47This baby's coming soon.
14:48And you're hoping she changes her mind.
14:49Yeah, in an ideal world, I'd like to be a father to my child.
14:51I feel so bad for Gio.
14:53And for Brooklyn and Dante, of course.
14:54It was a colossal mess.
14:56And it didn't have to be if I didn't stick my nose in where it didn't belong.
15:00I don't know, Cody.
15:01It sounds to me like Lulu would have uncovered the truth with or without your help.
15:03Yeah, maybe.
15:04But, like, why?
15:05Why?
15:06Why?
15:07Why?
15:08Why?
15:09Why?
15:10Why?
15:11Why?
15:12Why?
15:13Why?
15:14Why?
15:15Why?
15:16Why?
15:17Why?
15:18Why?
15:19Why?
15:20Why?
15:21Why?
15:22Why?
15:23Why?
15:24Why?
15:25Why?
15:26Why?
15:27Why?
15:28Why?
15:29Why?
15:30Why?
15:31Why do I keep doing this?
15:32First, I go shooting my mouth off about how Jason's your baby daddy and now this.
15:36Okay.
15:37First of all, I hate the term baby daddy.
15:42Yeah.
15:43Second, I think you were just trying to do right by someone you cared about.
15:48You're being awfully generous.
15:51You're beating yourself up enough as it is.
15:54It felt rude to pile on.
15:56Sorry I wasn't a better friend.
15:59To you, to Dante, to Lulu too.
16:04You know, instead of encouraging her, I should have just told her to drop it right from the start.
16:09And really let her down.
16:11Were you able to talk to Gio?
16:14Not for long.
16:15I mean, I tried to explain to him that I didn't know he was my son, that I didn't lie to him, but he was so angry.
16:24Even worse dad, he was so hurt.
16:26He accused me of not wanting him and forgetting about him, which couldn't be further from the truth.
16:32Look, he'll understand all that.
16:35Eventually.
16:36You know, once things settle down, Gio will see that this was all Lois and Glory's doing, not yours.
16:43You might see it, but just because someone understands the facts doesn't change the way they feel.
16:52What if my son never gives me the chance to love it?
16:56Brooklyn, look, I won't pretend that I know it's going to happen, but I highly doubt that that will be the case.
17:05Sweetheart, who wouldn't want to be loved by you?
17:12I love you.
17:14I love you too.
17:23All the way home, I just kept thinking how Gio brings us all together.
17:29You know, Ned's grandson through Brooklyn, my grandson through Dante.
17:36Oh, God.
17:38Now I have blood ties to Sonny Carinthos.
17:43Welcome to the large and ever-growing club.
17:46All the more reason to run that mobster out of town.
17:50Tracy.
17:51No, I mean it.
17:52I mean it.
17:53He has probably had terrible influence on Gio already, and now that they're biologically related, he'll probably do even more to try to corrupt him.
18:04I won't have it.
18:08You know, I've gotten to know Sasha a little better since she's been gone.
18:14I just understand where she's coming from.
18:17Yeah, she thinks my life's a mess right now.
18:20I mean, she thinks you're a great father.
18:22Or she wouldn't have helped me tonight with Amelia if she didn't believe that.
18:28You know, she's just, but she's been through a lot.
18:31I know. Losing Brando and Liam, it was a nightmare for her.
18:34Yeah.
18:35And then, you know, with Court and, I don't know, she just felt like everything in her life has been so out of control.
18:42That's why she values her independence so much more now.
18:46I get it.
18:47I'm going to do my best to respect her decision.
18:50In the meantime, my focus will be on Wiley, Amelia.
18:53I already know it's going to be a knockdown drag out with Will and Drew.
18:57Well, if that's the case, is there any room for a compromise?
19:02Before I take you home, just take a breath and tell me what happened.
19:12Michael happened.
19:14He was so cold and calculating. I've never seen him like this.
19:22He is not the Michael I knew.
19:26He didn't let you see the kids, did he?
19:30No.
19:31And if he gets his way, I'll never see them again.
19:36Unless...
19:38Unless what?
19:42He talked to me.
19:44Unless I break things off with you.
19:48Well, obviously that's not going to happen.
19:59Right?
20:03I don't know if I have a choice.
20:10I'm sorry.
20:11You've been so great.
20:15And now I'm yelling at you.
20:17Please.
20:19I'm an old pro at being yelled at, so if that's what you need, you go for it.
20:23No.
20:25No, what I need...
20:28is to wake up from this nightmare.
20:31It's hard to make myself believe that what's happening is real because...
20:36I know that it is.
20:38Right?
20:39But which parts are true?
20:40Like who knew what?
20:41And when?
20:42And were they ever going to tell me?
20:48You want to know what I think?
20:50Yes, please.
20:52I think...
20:54that Brooklyn and Dante are telling you the truth.
20:58They didn't know that you were their son.
21:00Okay, Dante didn't even know he had another son.
21:04Yeah, I believe...
21:06Dante wasn't lying.
21:07Well, I don't think so either, but what makes you say that?
21:13Because when Raku got alcohol poisoning, Dante was very honest about what he thinks of me.
21:20I've always wanted to know what my father would think of me.
21:25I've always wanted to know what my father would think of me.
21:32What he would be like.
21:34And now I know.
21:35And the guy hates me.
21:36This wasn't about me trashing Brooklyn or making her look any kind of way.
21:53I truly believe that you deserve to know your son and vice versa.
21:58You should have told me about him immediately.
22:00Or at least as soon as you suspected it was Gio.
22:03I wanted to.
22:05But I couldn't.
22:07I needed proof.
22:08Carly warned me that if...
22:10Carla.
22:11Carly.
22:12Carly knew?
22:13You confided in someone.
22:14You confided in everybody.
22:16Carly, Cody, but not me, right?
22:18Well, I'm sorry that I didn't handle this the way that you wanted me to.
22:22But I am not the bad guy here.
22:25Brooklyn's the one that got pregnant and didn't tell you she's the one that gave up her baby.
22:29And I'm pissed at her too, but I will hash that out with her.
22:32That's between me and Brooklyn.
22:35But you basically threw Gio's feelings in the trash because you wanted to prove to everybody how terrible Brooklyn was.
22:42And I don't know, what?
22:44To get in my good graces?
22:48Oh my God.
22:51You think I did this to win you back?
22:58I told Will that as long as she's with Drew there's not going to be a compromise.
23:02Either she leaves him and severs all contact or she will not be a part of our kids' lives.
23:07I mean, that's assuming the court case goes your way?
23:11It will.
23:13Okay. What'd Willow think about that?
23:15She thinks I'm punishing her for being happy.
23:18Is there any truth to that?
23:21Maybe a little.
23:23At first.
23:26But then...
23:28I think about Wiley and Amelia and all the other stuff.
23:31It just doesn't matter anymore.
23:33The only thing that matters is what's best for them.
23:36And you think that that's not Willow anymore?
23:39She keeps putting her own needs and rules, for that matter, above the kids.
23:44I don't see that changing unless she gets smart and leaves them for good.
23:50I don't want to end things with you, but Michael's threatening to take my kids from me.
23:54Not only that, he's going to keep them from me.
23:57He can't. He just wants to think that he can.
24:00Why not?
24:02Now that Michael's back in Port Charles, everything has changed.
24:04No, a judge is going to decide whether or not that's true. Not Michael.
24:07Michael just wants you to surrender before you even step foot in the courtroom.
24:11If I lose...
24:12You won't.
24:14Trust me.
24:16I won't let that happen.
24:17I do trust you.
24:19It's just such a huge risk thought of not being with Wiley and Amelia.
24:23Okay, let's say you do give in, okay?
24:26Let's say you do leave me.
24:28Who's to say that Michael's going to hold up his end of the bargain?
24:32Then you'd be all alone and you'd be at his mercy.
24:37You're right.
24:42I can't trust Michael at all.
24:47I always knew Michael could be ruthless, but the man I spoke to tonight, he was just...
24:53He was plain cruel.
24:55What kind of person makes a woman choose between her kids and the man that she loves?
24:59He's using Wiley and Amelia as leverage to get revenge.
25:06He says I'm putting my needs above the kids, but that's exactly what he's doing right now.
25:12He's essentially kidnapped them just to keep us apart and he did it in the most underhanded way possible.
25:18Hiding his recovery, not telling any of us he was coming home?
25:21Yeah, it was an ambush.
25:23It was an ambush, pure and simple.
25:24I can't have someone that vengeful and cold-hearted raising my children.
25:30Don't give in to his demands.
25:32Don't let him tear us apart.
25:38I won't.
25:39You won't.
25:53I was planning to take these off after the divorce was official.
25:58I didn't want the kids asking questions, but...
26:02After tonight, as far as I'm concerned, our marriage is over.
26:06I'll send these to him in the morning.
26:10I'll send these to him in the morning.
26:15I'm not this one.
26:19Just so it stays with us.
26:20How's everything going in here?
26:30Better now.
26:32Good.
26:33Okay, then I guess I'll just head back upstairs.
26:35Actually, Olivia, can I talk to you for a second?
26:39Sure.
26:40I'll give you some privacy.
26:44Daddy.
26:45Yeah?
26:47Thanks.
26:49Anytime, sweetheart.
26:59Um...
27:00Olivia, I completely understand if you are furious with me.
27:03I mean, I...
27:05gave away your grandchild and never told you about it.
27:08And I'm so, so sorry.
27:11You listen to me.
27:14You are under no obligation to tell me anything.
27:18And there is no one on earth that understands what you were going through more than me.
27:24I was a scared, pregnant teenager once myself.
27:28But you kept your baby and it worked out wonderfully.
27:31Until he went undercover and got shot by his own father because I never told them who they were to each other.
27:39That's why we're saying that I understand what you are going through more than anyone else on this earth.
27:47You just remember one thing.
27:50I am always here for you.
27:53No matter what you need, always.
27:57I won't mind a hug.
27:59Oh, honey.
28:01Come here.
28:06I have a confession.
28:08It's a night for them, apparently.
28:10I knew Brooklyn had a baby.
28:19How long have you known? And why didn't you tell me?
28:21I speak... I only just found out and she swore me to secrecy.
28:26Another of the evening's themes.
28:29However, I had started to look for my great-grandson, but somebody beat me to it.
28:36I knew it.
28:39You know who it was?
28:42I have a pretty good idea.
28:45I never said you were trying to win me back.
28:47You came close enough.
28:56So let me be very clear.
29:02It never once crossed my mind to use this information to get back together with you.
29:10How would that even work?
29:12I present you with your long lost son and you fall into my arms with gratitude.
29:16That's insane, Dante.
29:18Not to mention embarrassingly egotistical.
29:20It's never gonna happen.
29:22Obviously.
29:23You blew up the only chance...
29:29I may have to have a relationship with my son.
29:34How is that part my fault?
29:37Why don't you talk to Gio? Because Brooklyn and I were just there and he doesn't want anything to do with me.
29:41I'm sorry about Gio.
29:45And I truly hope that you can work things out with him.
29:49But as far as you and I are concerned...
29:55I don't want you back, Dante.
30:01Ever.
30:04I can't think of anything you could have said that would have gotten Lulu to back off.
30:08You could have at least tried though.
30:10You know, not just for her sake, but for everyone's.
30:13Especially Gio's.
30:15Sash, that kid broke my heart tonight.
30:20He was so hurt.
30:23And angry.
30:25He smashed his violin into pieces on the stage.
30:28Poor thing.
30:30In that moment I saw so...
30:34So much of myself in him.
30:37You know, discovering that my life was a complete lie.
30:42It was...
30:44Super painful and I didn't even like the people who raised me.
30:47Can you imagine how much worse it was for Gio?
30:50That kid loved his mom.
30:52The woman that he thought was his mom.
30:55The woman that he thought was his mom at least.
30:58It's too awful for words.
31:02But things worked out for you in the end.
31:05You were welcomed into an amazing family.
31:09Maybe the same will be true for Gio.
31:11Yeah, that's what...
31:14That's what Lulu said too.
31:16I can only hope that you guys are right.
31:19I just hate that it came out in this super screwed up way.
31:24It didn't have to be like this.
31:26I don't like the idea of taking Wiley and Amelia away from their mother.
31:33They love her.
31:35But I have to protect them.
31:39Yeah, no, I know it's a complicated situation.
31:44But I trust you to do what's right.
31:48And as always, you have my full support.
31:51That means a lot.
31:53Especially considering I know not everyone's going to feel the same way.
31:57Well, the only people that matter are Wiley and Amelia.
32:00And if you can look them in the eye.
32:02And you can know in your heart that you did what you thought was best for them.
32:06That's all there is.
32:12That ring belonged to Lila.
32:15Who was my grandmother.
32:17Which means I have as much right to it as Michael does.
32:22Now, if you don't want to wear it, I understand that.
32:25But maybe one day when she's old enough, we could give it to Amelia.
32:31Let's just pray I have custody of her and her brother.
32:35You will. You will.
32:37Just the fact that you're their mother puts you light years ahead of Michael.
32:41Michael's going to use my infidelity against me.
32:43Let him.
32:46Michael's not squeaky clean.
32:48You know better than anybody that he's got a bad habit of not being honest.
32:52So?
32:54So.
32:56We dig up whatever he's hiding.
32:59And then we blow him out of the water.
33:01I promise you Lila that you're going to die.
33:02Then we don't want to get through.
33:03And we want to grow him out of the water.
33:04And.
33:06I promise you Lila that you're going to die such time.
33:07I promise you, Wylee, I will never leave you
33:36or your sister ever again.
33:49Hey, as much as I know you want to,
33:54you can't go back and change what happened tonight.
33:58All you can do is learn from it.
34:01I know.
34:02I know. It's not up to us to expose other people's secrets,
34:07especially when a child's involved.
34:10Very good.
34:13Sometimes parents keep secrets to protect their children.
34:20And that's a decision that should be respected and left alone.
34:23Lulu.
34:31Lulu knew about the baby, too?
34:34Am I the only one who was left in the dark?
34:37Lois and Gloria were extremely unfair to you.
34:42You have been an excellent father,
34:44and you're going to be an even better grandfather.
34:48But you should work on being a better son.
34:50Excuse me?
34:53While you were sipping cocktails at the nurse's bowl,
34:57I was left to rot at the PCPD.
35:00Jason had to bail me out.
35:03Mother, I called the station multiple times to check on you,
35:06and I was told that you were not available.
35:09And I didn't panic because I knew you could take care of yourself
35:12because you are one of the strongest people I know.
35:15Where do you think Brooklyn got her chutzpah?
35:20You're flattering me because you think I'm going to forgive you.
35:24Is it working?
35:24Mm-hmm.
35:30I just keep wondering if I made a mistake.
35:34You know?
35:35If I should have kept my baby like you did.
35:37Honey,
35:38Your choice was every bit as valid as mine.
35:43And both choices required a massive sacrifice.
35:49You did what you thought was best at the time
35:53for yourself and for your child.
35:57Nobody's going to fault you for that.
35:59Except Gio.
36:00I talked to him.
36:06Dante and I tried to,
36:08but he couldn't get away from us fast now.
36:11So I don't...
36:12Don't worry.
36:14Once he calms down,
36:16and he will,
36:18and we find him,
36:19and we will,
36:21we will make sure that he knows
36:23just how much we all love him.
36:28Dante doesn't hate you.
36:29He didn't hear the things that he said to me.
36:35Even if Dante hated you,
36:37which he doesn't,
36:39you're not alone.
36:42Okay?
36:43You have so many people who care about you,
36:46me included.
36:50Why don't you come back with me and my grandmas?
36:54You could stay for a while,
36:57and I'd really love it.
36:59I couldn't impose.
37:03Well, we can't stay here because it's getting chilly.
37:07We.
37:09Where you go, I go.
37:13You just need to decide where that is.
37:20Anywhere but here.
37:20The further away, the better.
37:26Okay.
37:28Let's go.
37:31From now on, let's just...
37:34stick to co-parenting Rocco.
37:37I don't even see the need to be friends.
37:44Sounds like a plan.
37:48I will be back, uh, in the morning.
37:51I'm going to be the one to tell Rocco
37:54he has a half-brother, not you.
37:58You can be here if you want.
38:00But other than that,
38:01I think you should stay out of my life,
38:03and, and please,
38:05please stay the hell away from Gio.
38:08You've done enough damage.
38:12On the next general hospital,
38:35I'm not going to do to him
38:36what you are doing to me.
38:38Gio?
38:39Brick Lansing is calling me as a witness.
38:41Are you suggesting he's above that behavior?
38:43What you're asking could backfire spectacularly.
38:46If the police investigate,
38:48you're going to prison.
