00:00What are we doing here?
00:07Do you want me to get into the courthouse?
00:11Look, I saw Michael Willow and the kids here last night, visiting the new baby.
00:23All together?
00:24Yeah.
00:25Pretty cozy.
00:27Right?
00:28So, things are definitely starting to thaw between Michael and Willow, and if that is the case, then everything you accomplished yesterday in court, all of that is for nothing.
00:37Right.
00:38Okay.
00:38What's your plan?
00:40Whatever reconciliation is happening between Michael and Willow, I'm going to put an end to it.
00:47Right now.
00:56Michael.
00:57You sound surprised to hear from me.
00:59It's just been a while since you called.
01:02Yeah.
01:03Yeah, that's actually what I want to talk about.
01:07Last night, with the kids, it was really nice.
01:12It really was.
01:14I thought maybe you and I could speak privately at the courthouse today, and before things get started.
01:21I'd like that.
01:22Great.
01:23I'll see you there.
01:25I'll see you there.
01:25See you.
01:29That sounded civil.
01:30It was.
01:31Michael wants to talk, just the two of us.
01:34Before or after the hearing?
01:35Before.
01:36I think that's a really good sign.
01:38So do I.
01:40But I could be wrong.
01:42It wouldn't be the first time.
01:43Hey, hey.
01:44I don't think it's a coincidence that you had that special family moment last night, and now he wants to be more cordial, and Michael wants to talk to you.
01:53Well, I think this might be what we were hoping for.
01:58Oh, God.
01:59Mom, I pray you're right.
02:02Thanks for bringing me to work.
02:03I have to do this.
02:05Well, it's your first day back, and I wanted to make sure you got in okay.
02:09My badge still works on everything.
02:11I know, but this is the last time that I'll be able to make sure that you get here.
02:16I knew I'd find you here.
02:21It's your go-to thinking spot.
02:23I was John here on my son's birthday before I knew it was to you.
02:27I remember.
02:29Now that I know that it's him, I'm John here because I feel close to him here.
02:35You used to play violin here all the time.
02:38Yeah, I used to say how he loved how the sound carried.
02:43I was back when he was still talking to me.
02:45Back when he was still playing the violin.
02:47Now he may never do either of those things again, and it's all Lulu's fault.
02:52Text me if you want me to grab anything on my way home.
02:55Rocco, hold on.
02:58I know there's a lot going on right now.
03:02You're okay?
03:04Definitely doing better than Gio.
03:06He still isn't answering any of my texts.
03:11I still feel terrible about how things went down.
03:14And I...
03:15I gotta handle things better.
03:18Eventually it'll all blow over.
03:20But right now my dad's really hurting, and so is Gio.
03:24Hey, what's your room?
03:45I thought that was you.
03:48Hello, Carly.
03:49Uh, you have a minute?
03:50Sure.
03:51Cody, what can I do for you?
03:52No, actually, I think it's more like a, what can I do for you?
03:57How do you feel about love?
04:01So she was making little fists?
04:03That is incredible.
04:04She is, she's already such a fierce little girl, right?
04:08Yeah.
04:08Now you have three nieces.
04:11I do have three nieces.
04:13That's right.
04:13I have you, and I have Scout, and I have...
04:16Let me guess.
04:19You are here to see...
04:21Daisy!
04:21Oh, that's right.
04:22Daisy.
04:23Would you mind watching Wiley for a minute?
04:25I just have to stop in the powder room.
04:27I'd be happy to.
04:27Perfect.
04:28Okay.
04:29Oh, here is some sustenance for you.
04:33Your dad will be here in a little bit, okay?
04:36Okay.
04:37We're going to go right there.
04:39You love those yogurt melts, and you're a baby, too.
04:45Anyway, um, how was it meeting your new sister?
04:49Very funny.
04:50Oh, well, I can't wait to meet her myself.
04:54Uh, hey, Wiley, I've got to take care of something, but I'll be right over here where you can see me, okay?
04:59Yeah.
05:08Look, today has got to go our way, okay?
05:12Willow and I need custody of Wiley and Amelia, because now that Michael's got the new baby, he doesn't want Wiley and Amelia anymore.
05:21I'm sorry, have we met?
05:50Briefly.
05:51At Miller and Davis, but you sold some artwork to my father, Jen Sidwell.
05:57Oh, oh, of course.
05:59So how is Windermere treating him?
06:02Great.
06:03It's actually lucky for me that I ran into you.
06:05Oh, my father's trying to get a Van Gogh through customs, but we were hoping you might have some connections that could help.
06:13Yeah.
06:13Oh, sure, I'll make a call for him, no problem.
06:15Wow, that was easy.
06:17I didn't even have to name drop Lucas.
06:20And how do you know my nephew?
06:24We're dating.
06:25You're going to have to walk me through the love thing.
06:29Okay, picture this.
06:32Every Tuesday night or whatever works for the Metro Court, we host a weekly singles night here by the pool with a $50 buy-in.
06:39I get the proceeds?
06:41Well, no.
06:42Um, I do.
06:44You're going to have to work on that part of the pitch.
06:46Okay, just hear me out, okay?
06:48Um, when couples hit it off, right?
06:52They're going to literally want to get a room.
06:56Hello, hotel revenue.
06:58The Metro Court is a five-star establishment.
07:03We don't rent rooms by the hour.
07:05I...
07:05Did Olivia sign off on us?
07:08No, the queues are going through a lot right now.
07:10I didn't actually have a chance to run a buyer.
07:12But trust me, I mean, we get a couple influencers, and then maybe we get some sponsors eventually.
07:18Before you know it, the Metro Court pool is the hottest hangout for wealthy singles.
07:23Come on, who can say no to love?
07:24You should go, because you have, um, a lot of goodbyes to make.
07:32None will be as hard as this one.
07:35It's right, though.
07:37You, uh, just remind me why again?
07:42Lucky, we were 15 when we fell in love.
07:47We're not the same people that we were back then.
07:50Life just...
07:51It changes us, and it shapes us, and...
07:54It just shapes us differently.
07:57And that's all.
07:58That's...
07:59It's okay.
08:01Well, one thing that hasn't changed...
08:04I love you as much today as I did back then.
08:10And I always will.
08:13You know, I love you.
08:16But we both know you always struggled with Port Charles,
08:20and it fits you even less now.
08:25Hey.
08:28There's no shame in it, okay?
08:31We just ended up wanting different things.
08:36It's better that we admit it now than wind up unhappy, right?
08:41It's what's best for the both of us.
08:46Why does it hurt so much?
08:48Goodbye, Elizabeth.
09:03Goodbye, Elizabeth.
09:07Bye, Lucky.
09:08I begged her not to say anything,
09:23and she just couldn't do it.
09:25You have every right to be mad at Lulu.
09:26I don't know who I'm more furious with, Lulu or my mom.
09:30Oh.
09:31Your mom texted me.
09:32No, I don't want to hear it.
09:33I really don't want to have anything to do with her right now, Chase.
09:35Can you just read what I wrote back?
09:38I said that you needed space,
09:41and I refused to be the go-between.
09:45And forgiving her was my choice,
09:47and that you would just support me.
09:50No pressure.
09:51Is that okay?
09:52It's perfect.
09:54Just like you.
09:56I know that there's a lot of uncertainty right now,
10:03but you can always count on me loving you.
10:06All right?
10:07It's never going to change.
10:11Michael can have his family with Daisy and Sasha.
10:14That's what he wants.
10:17That's the only reason he came back.
10:20Definitely make things easier for us.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Yeah.
10:26Maybe Jason was right about me going to Germany.
10:44I mean, not that it was successful,
10:46but maybe what we needed this whole time
10:47was to just talk face-to-face.
10:50No one else in our ear.
10:51Just us.
10:52Yes.
10:53Yes.
10:54If cooler heads prevail,
10:55Michael will see that sharing custody is what's best.
10:59Wiley and Amelia need both parents in their lives.
11:02The judge might have even ruled that way
11:04if things hadn't gotten so ugly yesterday.
11:06I know.
11:06The way the proceedings were headed,
11:08I was starting to wonder
11:09if Michael was going to be granted visitation,
11:12not alone full custody.
11:18Hey.
11:19Hey.
11:19What was that little performance you did for Wiley's sake?
11:23Do you really think it's a good idea to use the kid?
11:26No.
11:27Okay, I...
11:28I hate myself for doing that.
11:31Believe me, you gotta know,
11:33I love Wiley.
11:35But I gotta derail,
11:37and he's softening between Willow and Michael.
11:39Joe.
11:41Would that be so terrible?
11:44Yes.
11:45It would,
11:47because if they agreed on shared custody,
11:49that that only benefits Michael, okay?
11:51Michael's losing the custody battle,
11:53and he knows it,
11:54so if Willow compromises it all,
11:55that's not good.
11:57She's gotta stay the course,
11:59and...
12:00hopefully,
12:02with Wiley's help,
12:05she will.
12:08Is everything okay?
12:09Hey, you know you can tell me.
12:11Wiley.
12:12Wiley, Wiley, what's wrong?
12:13Hey, Wiley.
12:15Wiley, what happened?
12:16I've been trying to get him to tell me.
12:19Just take a deep breath.
12:21Okay?
12:21Tell me what happened.
12:24You don't want me at Bailey anymore.
12:29I'm gonna give you guys a spender.
12:33I don't know where you heard that,
12:35but that is not true.
12:36I love you and your sister more than anything.
12:40I'm bigger than an ocean.
12:41Remember?
12:41There's nothing I want more than to be with you guys.
12:45Really?
12:46Really.
12:48Hey, you know my phone calls with you
12:50while I was in Germany?
12:51That's what got me better.
12:53All I wanted was to come home to you.
12:55But what about the new baby?
12:58I'm gonna need you now more than ever, bud.
13:01Hey, you have been such a great big brother to Amelia.
13:03I need you to be that again for Daisy.
13:06And you have to teach Amelia how to be a big sister.
13:08I need you to be a big sister.
13:09Really?
13:09Yeah, she's never been an older sibling before.
13:11You get to teach her how it's done.
13:14Okay.
13:15I can do that.
13:17Yeah, you can.
13:20Now, Wiley, why did you even get an idea like that to begin with?
13:23I heard Uncle Drew say it.
13:31Uncle Drew.
13:33Lucas is quite a catch, isn't he?
13:36I'm a lucky guy.
13:38Well, you're no slouch yourself, right?
13:40An attorney.
13:42Your father is a very successful businessman.
13:44You might change your mind when you find out who my mother is.
13:49Uh-oh.
13:50Hit me.
13:52Natalia Ramirez.
13:55I appreciate your idea.
13:56I really do.
13:57But the pool already has themed events every night of the week.
14:01Every night?
14:02Every night.
14:03If something changes, I'll let you know.
14:06Until then, I can get you a day pass.
14:08I do love your hustle, Cody Bell.
14:13Just not enough.
14:18Gio.
14:19Hey, how you holding up?
14:21Forgot I found out that his whole life is a lie.
14:25I'm fine.
14:27You, uh, you aren't staying at the queues anymore.
14:30Can you blame me?
14:31No, but, uh, I don't know if you need any money to stay afloat.
14:37Uh, I don't have much, but it's yours.
14:42I'm actually staying with Emma and her grandmother right now, so, uh...
14:46Well, look, I'm just saying, uh, I'm here.
14:50I appreciate that.
14:51Amen.
14:52Now that I know the truth, who's responsible for it,
14:56I got everything I need.
15:00This is a fun surprise.
15:02Come in.
15:03Uh, well, it might not be as fun as you think.
15:07What does that mean?
15:10Uh, I came to say goodbye.
15:13What?
15:15Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm leaving Port Charles.
15:18Like, for the weekend?
15:21For good.
15:22I don't understand the last time we talked to you said things were going great.
15:28Yeah.
15:30They, they were, and, and they are, but, um, it just can't last, and that's on me.
15:38Last night felt like old times, Mom.
15:43Michael and I, the kids together, not in a romantic way, just nice.
15:52And that Michael, he shouldn't be kept away from our kids.
15:55Yeah.
15:56Yeah.
15:56I mean, you've always said that he's a good dad.
15:59He is, and it's not like I ever hated Michael.
16:04That's what made the last six months so hard.
16:06I was just disappointed in the way he was acting.
16:09But him calling for the healing and wanting to talk, that's, that's the old Michael I know.
16:14The one who let me take the kids to your house that first night because he knew it was the right thing to do.
16:18Yeah, after everything came out, if he could compromise then, if he could bring me into Wiley's life and make me his mother in the first place, then I can return the favor and compromise now.
16:31Yes, I am so relieved to hear you say that.
16:34I am.
16:34That is the way to be.
16:36You need to be open and honest.
16:38That's the way.
16:40If that's true, then why have you been keeping secrets from me?
16:45Oh, she's so precious.
16:52I was just telling Wiley how we're really going to need him around now that the baby's here.
16:57Yes, you're going to have to teach her all the tricks of the trade, right?
17:00Like how to play soccer?
17:02Exactly.
17:03That's exactly right.
17:04Hey, buddy, why don't you and Amelia take my phone?
17:08You guys can sit over here and, you know, find out which cartoons Daisy needs to know about when she's older, okay?
17:16I'm just going to talk to Aunt Christina for a minute, all right?
17:18Amelia, come sit over here, baby.
17:20Come on, cutie.
17:22Come sit here so your brother can text you.
17:24Okay.
17:25What's wrong?
17:31Drew said to Nullo.
17:33I thought maybe things can get better with Will and me and the kids, but it'll never happen as long as she's in the picture.
17:43Oh, and all is right in the world again.
17:46Welcome back, Nurse Baldwin.
17:50We missed you.
17:53What's wrong?
17:53How do you know something's wrong?
17:55Just do.
17:56Spill.
17:59Um, do you remember what we talked about the other day at my house?
18:04You and Lucky?
18:05And how I didn't think that he was made for the settled down type of life.
18:11You're leading?
18:13I told him to go.
18:15What, why?
18:15Did, did, did something happen?
18:17Did Lucky decided he needed to be off adventuring?
18:20Just the opposite.
18:22He proposed.
18:23Staying in one place has never been your thing.
18:28No.
18:30And Elizabeth is the exact opposite.
18:32I mean, she, she finds comfort and stability in the known.
18:37So then where will you go?
18:44Um, I don't know.
18:46I don't know exactly.
18:48I'm going to spend the summer with Aiden first.
18:51We're going to travel around just like I did with dad and mom.
18:54Um, for the record, I hate this.
18:57I knew you would.
19:00But it sounds like you and Elizabeth are being very mature about everything.
19:08Well, she is.
19:10I'm trying my hardest to keep up.
19:16Are you sure you can do this?
19:19You can walk away?
19:20I love her too much not to.
19:24I want to apologize for my part in exposing your mother's, your unlovely opinions.
19:34And Lucas told me what happened.
19:35And I know all too well how deep my mother's intolerance runs.
19:40I just cannot imagine not accepting my child exactly for who they are.
19:46I appreciate that.
19:50Well, I should get going.
19:53I'll be in touch with you about that favor.
19:58It was nice to see you, Aiden.
19:59Yeah, you too, Marco.
20:05Gio.
20:07Marco.
20:08Hi.
20:10Did you get my text?
20:13Sorry, I didn't answer.
20:14I'm still kind of spinning from everything.
20:16No, I get it.
20:19And I'm sorry.
20:21Why?
20:23You didn't lie to me.
20:25I never lied to my own brother.
20:30What exactly are the secrets that I'm keeping?
20:34That Michael and Sasha slept together.
20:36I'm so sorry.
20:41Yeah, I just found out about that the other day.
20:43And I swear, it was just...
20:45I'm not mad.
20:46I'm grateful.
20:49And I know how close you and Sasha are.
20:52I can't imagine how difficult it was for you to use that information against her.
20:58Yeah, I had to know really what to do.
21:02But I knew that if it was going to make sure that you get your kids, I was going to tell her.
21:11I love you so much, my beautiful God.
21:18And I will do anything for you.
21:20I've had a lot of people in my life say those words, and they never backed it up with action.
21:32You did.
21:34You actually put me first.
21:36Michael, hi.
21:41Wiley thinks I don't want him to be on here anymore.
21:44What?
21:45Wait, why?
21:46Because of the new baby?
21:48But he was thrilled to see Daisy last night.
21:51Where would he get the idea that you don't want him?
21:53From Drew.
21:53Hey.
22:14Hey.
22:15You okay?
22:17Yeah, I thought I could do this, but I think this is a bad idea.
22:20This is just, it's my first time being back at the pool since, um...
22:25You know what?
22:27You look a little pale.
22:28Why don't you just sit down for a second?
22:32Yeah, yeah.
22:33That's really a good idea.
22:35I'm going to get you some wine.
22:36Okay.
22:50Why don't you let me take you to the elevators?
22:54No, I said I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this.
22:59Okay.
23:00Well, if you need me, just let me know, okay?
23:04Okay.
23:10It's a Van Gogh.
23:11Yes, it's a very important piece.
23:15I told him that you would handle it personally.
23:18Oh, that's excellent.
23:20Yeah.
23:21Oh, thanks so much, Ed.
23:23I really appreciate it.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Yeah, you take care.
23:28Bye-bye.
23:31Excuse me.
23:33I believe that's my chaise.
23:36Gio will come around.
23:38I know he will.
23:39You weren't here, Chase.
23:41When Gio came back to the house,
23:43I admitted to him that it was my choice to give him away.
23:45It shredded him.
23:47Well, again, it's all so fresh.
23:49You got to give everyone time to process.
23:51And then what?
23:53What do you mean?
23:54What happens after we all process?
23:56I have no idea how this is going to play out.
23:58I may not have known about my mother and my grandmother's lies,
24:02but it was my choice to give up Gio,
24:05and he knows that now.
24:07You did the best thing you could for Gio.
24:09I gave him away, Chase.
24:11And that's the part that hurt Gio the most,
24:14not the lies or any of the rest of it,
24:18is that I didn't want him.
24:20That's not how it was.
24:21But it is for Gio.
24:23I started some pain,
24:24and I caused it.
24:26Sorry about that, man.
24:29No problem.
24:32You know, finding out we're brothers has been...
24:36I mean, we've been living together since Halloween
24:38and had no idea.
24:40Always wanted a brother.
24:42Me too.
24:42I mean, I have Danny.
24:46Obviously, but I'm really glad to have you too.
24:51No.
24:51I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this.
24:55When I was growing up,
24:57I was lonely sometimes.
25:00They're envious of other people's big, crazy families.
25:03When my mom died,
25:04I just wish I had one person
25:07who could go through it with me.
25:09I wish you'd had that too.
25:12Yeah.
25:13Things are kind of weird right now,
25:15but finding out that you're my brother...
25:17Shoot.
25:19It's one of the best things
25:21coming out of all these lies, man.
25:27Look, I know it's tough
25:28with my dad and the whole King's Speech thing,
25:31but I'll tell him again what really happened.
25:34Maybe this time he'll really get it,
25:36and then we can all finally move past that night.
25:40Oh, I am...
25:42I am really so sorry.
25:44Here.
25:44Okay.
25:45No, let me get you another towel.
25:47Do you want me to lay it...
25:49No, you know what?
25:49I think I can handle it myself.
25:52And I feel so bad.
25:55Let me at least get you a drink
25:57for commandeering your chaise.
26:01Well, I would never say no to an iced tea.
26:03Okay.
26:04Well, I do feel so bad.
26:06I'll even spring for one of those paper umbrellas.
26:10Sorry again.
26:17I found Wiley in tears this morning.
26:23When I asked him what happened,
26:24he told me he heard his uncle Drew
26:26said that I don't want him as sister anymore.
26:28Okay.
26:28Now, this is the man
26:29that you're tearing apart our family for?
26:31Wiley must have misunderstood.
26:32No, Drew said it!
26:34Okay, and I'm betting
26:35he meant for Wiley to overhear it.
26:38Drew would never do something like that.
26:40So either Wiley misconstrued something you
26:43or someone in your family said
26:45or you're making this all up
26:47to turn me against Drew?
26:48Drew is a good man
26:49who loves me and my children.
26:51He would never do something to hurt them.
26:54I want you to remember this moment.
26:58This is the moment
26:59you could have ended things
27:01and you refused.
27:04You chose Drew over our kids.
27:10Are you okay?
27:14No.
27:18Hey.
27:20Hey, what's going on?
27:23What's wrong?
27:25Michael claims Wiley heard you say
27:28that Michael doesn't want him
27:29and his sister anymore.
27:31Apparently, Wiley was very upset,
27:33but I know you would never
27:34do something like that.
27:35No.
27:37No, I would never do anything like that.
27:40Come here.
27:41I'm sorry.
27:42I'm so, so sorry.
27:45It just goes to show you
27:46that Michael,
27:47he's not well
27:49and that the kids,
27:51the kids belong with us.
27:56You said you wanted to talk to me
27:57before the hearing.
27:58Never mind.
27:59Stick to the original plan
28:00and do whatever you have to.
28:02That kid's not safe with Willow.
28:03You're, uh,
28:10you're leaving already?
28:11Yeah.
28:12Yeah, I have some loose ends
28:13to tie up.
28:14Okay, well, uh,
28:16thanks for chatting with me.
28:18My pleasure.
28:20And again,
28:20sorry about the chair.
28:22It's really not political.
28:24I'll see you around.
28:26I hope so.
28:26Eva.
28:32Back to the scene
28:33of the crime I see.
28:34Beautiful day, isn't it?
28:36It was.
28:37It's days like this
28:38that make you really appreciate
28:40your freedom.
28:42Don't you agree?
28:44You enjoy it.
28:45It wouldn't have worked,
28:59you know?
29:00It's just crazy
29:01considering how much
29:02we love each other
29:03and we really do.
29:04I believe it.
29:06Maybe if I was that
29:07same girl who, look,
29:09you met outside of Kelly's,
29:10the one who's just
29:11willing to throw caution
29:12to the wind
29:13and follow him everywhere.
29:16You're not that girl anymore.
29:18No.
29:20But I know her.
29:23And I'm grateful for her.
29:25And I'm grateful for that boy
29:27who met me outside of Kelly's
29:29all those years ago.
29:31And we will always
29:32love each other.
29:33We will.
29:34It's just not gonna,
29:35it's just not gonna work
29:36this time.
29:38You're doing the right thing.
29:40Thank you for saying that.
29:42Well, I mean it.
29:44Truly.
29:46Loving someone
29:47is wanting what's best
29:48for them, right?
29:50Yeah.
29:52And in luck,
29:53it's in my case.
29:55It's just not each other.
30:00Really gonna miss you, though.
30:03I was kinda counting on you
30:04to help me through
30:05this rough patch.
30:07Is that what we're calling it?
30:09You heard?
30:11I,
30:11I saw the video
30:13of the nurse's ball.
30:16Gio saying that
30:17Dante and Brooklyn
30:18were his parents.
30:19is that, uh,
30:21is that thanks to you?
30:23Is that not on purpose?
30:26I'll take that
30:27as a yes.
30:29I never meant to hurt Gio.
30:31I was just trying to find out
30:34the truth.
30:36I wanted to lash out
30:37when my own world
30:38fell apart.
30:39I wanted to punish
30:40everybody.
30:42I'm guessing
30:42that's how Gio feels.
30:43but it's not forever.
30:47Promise?
30:48Once the emotions fade,
30:51Gio will see
30:52your decision
30:53to give him up
30:54for what it was.
30:55The ultimate sacrifice.
30:57Even if Gio
30:58could find it somewhere
30:59in his heart
31:00to forgive me.
31:01He will.
31:02I don't know
31:02that I could ever
31:03forgive myself.
31:05What if Gio
31:05never allows me
31:06to be a mother to him?
31:08All because of secrets
31:09and lies
31:09that I didn't even
31:10know anything about.
31:12Look.
31:13We need to learn
31:15from this.
31:16No keeping the big stuff
31:18from our child.
31:20I want our baby
31:21to know that
31:21they're adopted
31:22as soon as possible.
31:24Right when they can understand
31:26or even before.
31:27Honestly.
31:28No waiting.
31:29I completely agree.
31:31Chase, I promise
31:32I have learned
31:33from my mistakes.
31:36Unlike Lulu
31:37who never will.
31:39I'm not trying
31:40to be rude.
31:42But I don't want
31:43to hear about you
31:43Devin now, okay?
31:44I'm not ready
31:45for that.
31:45So if you came here
31:46to try and push us
31:48closer together,
31:49please don't.
31:51Can I say
31:51just one thing?
31:54My dad had no idea
31:56about any of this
31:57either.
31:58He was just
31:59as in the dark
32:00as you were.
32:01It doesn't matter.
32:02Dante made it
32:03perfectly clear
32:04what he thinks of me.
32:05I don't care
32:05if he changed
32:06his mind
32:07just because
32:08we're related
32:08now.
32:09That's not
32:11what he was
32:11trying to...
32:11Rocco, don't.
32:13I get that
32:13you love your father,
32:15but he means
32:16nothing to me.
32:18Mr. Lansing,
32:19please call
32:20your next witness.
32:21Thank you,
32:21Your Honor.
32:23We call
32:23Willow
32:23Corinthos, please.
32:24Mrs. Corinthos,
32:36you have
32:38two children
32:39with
32:40Mr. Corinthos
32:41and you've been
32:43married for
32:43two years.
32:44Is that correct?
32:46Yes.
32:49Do you believe
32:50that
32:50Michael Corinthos
32:52is a good
32:54father?
32:59I used
33:00to believe
33:01that
33:01more than
33:02anything.
33:04But now,
33:07absolutely
33:09not.
33:21Hello,
33:22Molly's.
33:22sister.
33:25How'd you
33:25like to make
33:26some money?
33:29Sometimes
33:29the hardest
33:30decisions
33:31are the right
33:32ones.
33:32And it might
33:33not feel
33:33like this
33:33now,
33:34but there
33:34is power
33:35in acceptance.
33:36Actually,
33:37it does feel
33:38that way.
33:39I'm proud
33:39of me
33:40and lucky.
33:42Staying
33:43together
33:43would have
33:44ended
33:44in heartbreak.
33:46You're
33:47doing the
33:47responsible
33:48thing.
33:49So why
33:49does it
33:50hurt so
33:50much?

34:00day,
34:01Gio and
34:02Dante
34:02won't be
34:03able to
34:03see that.
34:05I hope
34:05so.
34:06well,
34:09I should
34:11take off.
34:13No.
34:14What?

36:21any ties or
36:22conflicts of
36:23interest understood so do you have any connection to lulu spencer or none that i'm aware of great
36:30let's get started it became more obvious after the fire when michael chose to get treatment
36:38in germany over baltimore which is obviously closer to home and you and the children could
36:44visit but even before that michael's work at aurora in elq often caused him to miss things
36:51such as school events sports games family dinners weekend trips it must have been very difficult for
37:02wiley and amelia very and it conveyed the message to me at least that michael liked the idea of being
37:13a father more than actually being one
37:15so beyond his family's violent lifestyle there was clearly abandonment issues
37:24yes i tried everything i could to keep things civil for the kids i even flew all the way to germany to
37:32try to talk things out with michael only for him to refuse to see me i tried
37:37but michael couldn't or wouldn't meet me halfway
37:42no further questions
37:48counselor you're up thank you your honor
37:55good afternoon mrs krip
37:59good afternoon you have testified under oath that your children are your number one priority

38:20on the next general hospital i'm gonna remind people to never come for brooklyn quarter me be very
38:38careful around that man i think i owe you an apology i want you to sue someone i am left with no other
38:43option but to petition for full custody for once law is going to be on my side
38:47okay
