00:19besides surprise visits from my grandkids
00:22that's the perks of getting to watch you grow up
00:25you know
00:25is everything okay
00:27i could use a fader
00:29you know how you helped me the night i found out about brit
00:33yeah
00:34i was hoping you could work your magic again
00:37what do you need sweetheart
00:39help
00:41with my mom and dad
00:43the role of maxi jones is temporarily being played by nicole poggy
00:48i don't think you realize what a can of worms you open with this brit situation
00:54i never meant for rocko to see that file maxi you need to believe me
00:59look i changed my mind on the whole situation
01:03and it's unfortunate that rocko saw it but now that he has maybe we can all move on
01:09yeah i don't think that's happening especially because liesel's back in town
01:14what
01:14what
01:15oh why
01:16because of you
01:17that's why
01:19knock knock
01:22hey come in
01:24you want him to see me
01:25you want him to see me
01:25i did
01:26i did
01:27honey something happened yesterday
01:30something that could change things between you and kai
01:35we've been here for over an hour were you planning on ignoring me all day
01:44no i was actually helping you ignore me i assumed you wouldn't have much to say
01:50you're mad at me right
01:51of course i am
01:53trina told me what happened
01:55you broke her heart
01:57but considering everything that went down at drew's wedding yesterday there may be some hope
02:04maybe you can finally see how big a mistake you made choosing drew over trina
02:11imagine my surprise when my assistant told me that the one and only nina reeves
02:17has requested a meeting with me
02:19i said to myself that can't possibly be true
02:21my ex-wife hates me
02:23well i am quite certain that you have a couple of others who hate you too
02:27and rick i would make a deal with the devil obviously
02:31if it would help my daughter
02:34morning
02:40i'm sorry for sleeping so late it's not like me
02:44no don't apologize you obviously needed it
02:46were you comfortable in jake's room
02:48it was great
02:50thank you
02:50and i did sleep so i'm definitely seeing things more clearly now which is good and bad
02:58what do you mean
02:59i can see very clearly now that going to carly's last night was a huge mistake
03:05and so was my entire relationship with drew
03:10thank you for uh
03:13let me in
03:16seeing me not having security run me out
03:19yeah it's still early
03:20i'm not going anything out yet
03:23what do you want
03:26i came to tell you that everything with willow
03:30with wiley with amelia
03:33it's over
03:36i'm still here but not for long
03:50i'm still planning on leaving
04:06oh hold on
04:09why would you voluntarily resign when you don't know for sure the board is going to ask you to
04:15you're acting like it's a capicoa and it's not
04:18trust me they're going to want my resignation
04:21torsia i do trust you
04:23maybe it's time you trust me too
04:26nina he had an affair with nina
04:30yep
04:31and willow found out right before her wedding so when it was her turn to say her vows
04:37she looked right at drew and asked him had he slept with her mother
04:40right there in front of god and everyone
04:42wow
04:44oh my god
04:46i mean is it weird that i feel really sorry for willow
04:50i mean she did do jocelyn's brother really dirty but i mean her mom her mom plus willow gave up
05:00everything for drew
05:01kind of feel bad for nina too
05:03for sure
05:05i mean but what does this have to do with me and kai
05:08well i you know i was thinking if uh willow's family wised up about drew
05:14then maybe kai did as well
05:15and maybe just maybe he has some regrets
05:19about how things ended with you
05:21for kai's sake
05:23he needs to see drew for who and what he is
05:27but
05:28when it comes to the two of us
05:31it doesn't make a difference
05:35the situation between drew and willow's mom is messed up
05:40okay but i never said drew some saint no one's perfect
05:43no and he's definitely not i watched him ruin my brother's marriage
05:49marriage and my best friend's relationship
05:52he didn't ruin our relationship
05:54i did
05:55i called you rick because i need you to stay on as willow's attorney and help her fight for custody
06:02i see in other words you need me to clean up your mess to pave the path back to willow for you right
06:09well i would love it if you could do that but i think that's a feat that's beyond even your abilities
06:14no this isn't about me getting back into willow's good graces this is about ensuring that she's back in wiley and amelia's lives
06:23okay
06:24and one more thing
06:26she can't know that i'm the one who hired you she's gonna refuse my help and she can't afford to do that
06:33not when it involves her children
06:35well that's uh surprisingly selfless of you nina but i can't help but wondering if keeping your involvement from willow is smart
06:43considering keeping things from her is what landed you in this position
06:48you have a point
06:50maybe i will float the idea of you helping her to willow and see if she is receptive to it
06:57i don't know maybe she'll surprise me and accept but if she doesn't
07:02i won't have any other choice but to keep it from willow
07:07i'm sure you are feeling overwhelmed on every level right now
07:12but just know you can stay here for as long as you need
07:16you are very kind but i could never impose on you like that
07:21you wouldn't be
07:22my boys are scattered all over the globe right now
07:25and hearing you upstairs was kind of nice
07:28because my house is too quiet i know that quiet all too well
07:33i miss my kids i miss so much i would do anything for them
07:40that's what moms do that's why i don't understand how nina could do this to me
07:48yeah maybe and i'm not excusing her like at all
07:53but maybe she thought in her own mind that somehow she was
07:58protecting her child
08:01you and i can relate to that
08:04nina claimed she was going to come clean before the wedding
08:08but why would i believe that she had so much time before then
08:13thank god curtis ashford told me the truth before i made the terrible mistake of actually
08:18marrying drew
08:19well thank god you listened
08:21i can't believe how much of my life i let him control and shape
08:26it's just like shiloh and harmony all over again
08:29two people i trusted completely manipulated me
08:32i swore i would never let something like that happen again but here i am
08:38you know that's the thing about hindsight always comes too late
08:41but if i had seen things as clearly then as i do now
08:44i would have known better because it was all there drew pursuing me even when i begged him not to
08:52when i told him that i needed space to focus on michael and my marriage he just kept popping up and doing things for me and the kids
09:00it's called love bombing
09:02well he sure blew my life to hell
09:04and every time he did he promised to fix it
09:08and instead he ruined everything
09:10i let him ruin everything
09:14so you're giving up on willow
09:16just like that
09:17after you have destroyed my family
09:22and everyone else's lives over the past year
09:24that's
09:24that's it
09:25done
09:26i'm not giving up on willow
09:27i'm just loving it the only way i can right now
09:29i don't need to hear the latest take
09:32on the epic romance you think you got going on man
09:35you're not noble
09:37it's not tragic
09:39the bottom line
09:41is that willow
09:43left me
09:44and you got what you wanted
09:46i didn't want
09:47any of this
09:49okay
09:50well i'm here right now
09:52and i'm asking you to have some grace
09:55in your victory
09:56because willow was alone
09:58she's alone now
10:00i'm out
10:00i'm out of the picture
10:02so just let her be with wiley and amelia
10:04remember when we were on the porch the other night
10:09and you told me it was healthy tea
10:11keep asking questions i might have about brit
10:13yes i do remember that
10:15have you
10:16i emailed her mom
10:17you contacted lisa obrecht
10:21we connected and she came to see me
10:23she's here she's here in port charles
10:26we met up
10:27and honestly she's really cool
10:32i mean she's kind of kooky
10:34but
10:35i like her
10:37then i ran into her at the metro court pool
10:42and when my parents came by and saw us talking
10:45they freaked out
10:46yeah
10:47they got all protective like i'd done something dangerous
10:49yeah
10:49they were shocked
10:51they were absolutely shocked
10:54i mean
10:54their relationship with lisa is a complicated one
10:58but mine isn't
10:59and
11:00and what hon
11:02just tell me
11:03i guess they think she's someone i shouldn't be around
11:07but i don't see it that way
11:10i want to
11:10see her again
11:11i don't know how to tell them that without making everything worse
11:16thanks to your recklessness
11:18rocco went to lisa obrecht for answers
11:21lisa didn't mention that
11:23she said she was here just to visit the family
11:26she lies maxi just like her daughter and now thanks to you
11:29rocco is talking with her
11:30and spending time with her
11:32i never meant
11:33i don't want to hear it
11:34i brought you
11:35your son
11:36brooklyn
11:37chill is a lovely
11:40young man
11:41that anyone would be proud to call family
11:43and to thank me for that
11:44you bring liars and criminals into my son's life
11:47rocco never should have found out about brit the way he did
11:50but it's not my fault that he didn't know anything about her
11:53it's not your fault either
11:55i know you were gone for a long time
11:57but dante should have told him like the two of you planned
12:00do not lay this at dante's feet
12:02he is a wonderful father
12:05and you would know that
12:06if you'd let him be one to your own child
12:08oh face it lulu
12:10i'm not the problem right now
12:12and neither is brit or even obrik
12:14the real problem here is you
12:16you need to understand where your parents are coming from on this okay
12:23for them
12:25lisal and brit are a very upsetting topic okay
12:29brit stole their embryo
12:32that's a crime
12:34now it it led to the miracle of your birth
12:40which we are all grateful for
12:42twisted origin story for sure
12:45it's complicated
12:49it is very very complicated
12:53but listen if we put brit to the side for the moment i
12:58just talking about lisal now
13:00she has done
13:01her own fair share of uh
13:03kind of questionable things
13:05i know
13:06i saw it all online
13:08of course you did
13:10well
13:12that said
13:15i will say that i do believe that people
13:19have the ability to change
13:22and during the last few years that
13:25lisal was here in port charles
13:27it certainly seemed to me that
13:29she had
13:30but you know your mom wasn't around for that period of time right
13:33so she never saw
13:34any of lisal's efforts or or her growth
13:37well i did
13:39when i met her she was nothing like the woman i'd read about online
13:44i could tell she really loved brit
13:47and she had stories about me when i was a baby
13:50like how my first solid food was avocado
13:53and how i mushed it all over my face and got a lot of it in my hair
13:56i wonder if that's why i like the color green so much
14:00could be
14:01green has always been your favorite color
14:03it was cool
14:05to hear a story about myself
14:07that my parents couldn't tell me
14:09that they didn't even know
14:11there's got to be other stuff lisal could tell me about too
14:14you know what honey
14:16i think if you lay it out for your parents the way you just did for me
14:20i think that they're gonna understand
14:23i really do
14:24and you may not even need my help
14:28i don't know grandma
14:30they don't give me the way you do
14:34you are acting like oprah's visit is some sort of national crisis
14:44you are giving it way more life than it needs to have
14:46so we're back to blaming me
14:48oh hello switzerland here
14:51look we need to deal with the facts
14:54and stop with the accusations
14:56rocco reached out to lisal because he was curious
14:59and that's natural right
15:01and it's also natural for lisal to want to see rocco
15:05he's the last connection to brit she has
15:08rocco has no connection to brit she's a thief
15:12who stole him and seven months of his life
15:15from me and dante
15:17hi mom
15:22hi sweetheart
15:23listen i need to talk with you as soon as possible
15:26at my office
15:27do you think that you could stop by if you're free
15:30i can
15:31nothing here is worth my time
15:34really
15:36you're walking out
15:38just like that
15:40i guess she is
15:43good morning elizabeth
15:46i brought some clothes for willow
15:49i thought that she could use some extra
15:51you know just him
15:52yeah i will pass it along
15:54you need to pay for this
15:56she can come in
15:57i'll give you guys some privacy
16:04thank you for seeing me
16:14i need clothes
16:16i can't wear elizabeth sweats forever
16:19i know things are difficult right now
16:24difficult
16:24what you did was disgusting
16:27i do want you to know that i love you
16:33and i'm here for you
16:36if you need me
16:37i don't need
16:38or want
16:40anything from you
16:41i have had you and drew in my ear for far too long
16:44and i am done with it
16:45what happens next
16:47is mine
16:49to decide
16:49my life
16:51my kids
16:53my future
16:54it is all up to me now
16:57yeah judge harron is clear
17:00we'll always allow contacts with the kids
17:02until the visitation hearing
17:04which is in october
17:05come on man
17:06that hearing was scheduled for august
17:10you pushed it back to october
17:12so just
17:12just talk to diane
17:15tell you you want to settle this out of court
17:16no more red tape
17:17no more waiting
17:18no more
17:18keeping wiley and amelia from their mother
17:22you know
17:24i just don't feel like i can take that risk right now
17:28what do you want me to do
17:30do you want me to beg
17:32you have got the power to end all of this
17:36you're right
17:37i do
17:39but after what willow did last night i'd be a fool to use it
17:48i didn't choose drew over trina
17:51i did what i thought was right
17:53and how is it right to defend that man
17:56because i stood by my values
17:59i warned someone who's about to be blamed for something that they didn't do
18:03and whether that someone turns out to be good or not
18:06that doesn't matter
18:07principles matter
18:08well that's very noble
18:10in theory
18:11but in reality
18:13you betrayed your girlfriend
18:14and her parents
18:15for human garbage
18:17it doesn't matter who drew is
18:19it's about who i am
18:21and if you lose trina
18:23her family
18:24her friends
18:25everyone that genuinely cares about you in the process
18:27well at least you'll still have drew
18:30and your principles
18:32which who knows
18:33maybe some of them will
18:34will rub off on drew
18:36but
18:36i wouldn't hold my breath
18:38your loyalty
18:42to your mother and me
18:44is admirable
18:46but i do not want you going around trying to prove it
18:49by throwing away your relationship with kai
18:51it's not about that
18:52she made a promise to me
18:54and then he broke it
18:56the trust is gone
18:57okay i get that
18:59but in this case context matters
19:01okay kai made a call that you wouldn't have made
19:04but
19:04in his mind he did the right thing
19:07unfortunately he didn't have all the facts
19:10but he does now
19:11and the damage is done
19:13oh i see you draw a hard line
19:16when it comes to honesty
19:16i wonder where i get that from
19:19fair enough
19:20i love it look
19:23just do me a favor honey
19:25please keep an open mind
19:26if you go burning bridges
19:28you might miss what's on the other side
19:31which is
19:33forgiveness
19:34another chance
19:38a person
19:41or an experience
19:42and
19:43when you make decisions based on emotions
19:47fear
19:48and anger
19:49you're gonna look back one day
19:50and you're gonna wonder what could have been
19:51i know
19:53in life
19:53you gotta give second chances
19:55god forbid one day you're gonna need one too
19:58but you gotta be careful
20:01when you give them out
20:02you gotta choose wisely
20:03because they come with no guarantees
20:06well how do i know somebody's worth a second chance
20:10oh
20:10well there's no right answer for that one honey
20:14unfortunately
20:14but when it comes to kai
20:16okay
20:17you
20:19stand right in front of him
20:20you look right in his eyes
20:23his eyes
20:23and i want you to listen to what your heart is telling you
20:28your friendship and support
20:31has meant more to me than you know
20:34and it doesn't hurt that you're an excellent surgeon
20:38i'm proud that it's part of my legacy
20:42to bring you here to gh
20:45i've worked in other hospitals
20:48but gh is special
20:50i feel trusted
20:52and valued here
20:54i don't know that i would have returned to any other hospital
20:57and it's due
20:58in large part to your
21:01your leadership
21:03it's co-chief
21:04well i i appreciate you saying that
21:07i'll miss working with you
21:10i'm really gonna miss working with you too
21:13it took us so long to get close
21:17but we did
21:18i called you mom
21:20i told you i loved you
21:22the kids and i lived with you
21:24we were a family
21:25we still are
21:27how
21:27i don't even have my children
21:29and now all those moments are stained with this lie
21:32i tried to tell you
21:34i wanted to
21:34you tried
21:35thanks for trying
21:37you failed though
21:39i am so sorry
21:43i don't care that you're sorry
21:45i care that i lost wiley and amelia
21:48if you had just told me the truth from the beginning
21:52none of the stuff with drew would have happened
21:54things with michael
21:56wouldn't have gotten so bad
21:57you are just as much to blame for me losing my kids as drew is
22:01i don't know
22:06i can't remember
22:07but i was she
22:10i was here
22:11but i was here
22:12i was secret
22:13but i didn't know
22:14i was so sorry
22:15i wanted to have to let him go
22:16you can't remember
22:18What happened with Willow last night?
22:44The kids were staying at my mom's last night for a sleepover, and Willow showed up in her wedding dress, hysterical and screaming.
22:53She was completely out of control.
22:55Wiley was terrified. I had to physically remove her from the house.
22:59Yeah, that's what she was like in court when we lost custody. That shook me up pretty bad, too.
23:04Yeah, it certainly wasn't Willow I know.
23:08Though I can't say I know who you are anymore, either.
23:11Yeah, since here you are, asking me for a favor.
23:17I'm not asking for me, Michael. I'm asking that you give Willow a chance.
23:22And why the hell would I listen to anything you have to say ever again, huh?
23:28Thank you again for defending me to Lulu.
23:44It wasn't as much defending you as it was telling the truth.
23:48And face it, neither of you have clean hands in this.
23:51You lit the match, but Lulu keeps throwing gas on the fire.
23:56And I'm just trying to put it out, or stop it from spreading.
24:00Believe it or not, I really try with Lulu, but when I see her, I just can't think straight.
24:05She's so infuriating.
24:07But you know what? That is not Rocco's fault.
24:10And I wish more than anything that he never saw that file.
24:13Well, I appreciate that, but the fire between you two needs to be put out before someone else gets burned.
24:20You called at the perfect time, Brooklyn's being her usual awful self, and now she's dragging Maxie down with her.
24:27Ah.
24:28I'm sorry that things are not settled between the two of you, and I don't want to add to any of your stress, but I felt this couldn't wait.
24:35What's going on? Is it Rocco?
24:37He was just here, honey.
24:40Uh, well, how is he?
24:41He tells me that you and Dante have barred him from seeing Liesl Obrecht.
24:46We sure did.
24:48You know I love you, but I think you're making a terrible mistake.
24:54Thank you so much.
24:58So, uh, how are you feeling today?
25:02A little better.
25:03A good night's sleep made a huge difference.
25:05Yeah, usually does.
25:08Uh, I wanted to check on you, but I was also hoping that you'd be up to talking a little business for a minute.
25:16I guess, but I'm not sure which business you're talking about.
25:21Well, seeing you as devastated as you were last night, I, uh, I couldn't shake it, so.
25:27And since I started out as your lawyer, I just want you to know that I plan on following this through all the way to the end.
25:34And if there's a question about money, don't worry.
25:37I plan on doing this pro bono.
25:40Rick, I would love that.
25:41You would practically be saving my life.
25:43It's all right.
25:44What is the best way I can go about getting back visitation or, or joint custody?
25:52Well, for now, um, you don't.
25:55I never set out to hurt you, Michael, the same way that you never set out to hurt Chase.
26:02When he was with Willow and you fell in love with her, you know how special she is, how, how magnetic.
26:11You keep saying that you never set out or planned anything.
26:15Oh, you never manipulated me, or Willow, but, but you lied to Willow just as easily as you lied to me, and you did, didn't you?
26:25What are you talking about?
26:26I just realized something.
26:28That Willow said to me that it didn't make sense to me before.
26:31Which is?
26:33You're the reason Willow didn't see me when she was in Germany.
26:38Hey, don't.
26:39Don't.
26:40Try to deny it.
26:42Hey, your poker face is not nearly as good as you think it is.
26:45I kept wondering why Willow insisted that I turned her away, because I wouldn't have refused her.
26:55It's just that no one told me she was there because you paid them not to.
27:02I gotta say, Uncle Drew, that, that is amazing.
27:07Now, there really is nothing you won't do, is there?
27:09I don't want to drag up the past.
27:11I don't want to argue about it.
27:12I don't want to focus on the future, Willow's future, with her again.
27:15She might have had one, had you not blocked that conversation.
27:19Had we just seen each other that day, we could have reached a compromise.
27:23We could have spared our kids from all of this.
27:26None of this had to happen.
27:27How's it feel?
27:31Have that truth sitting on your chest, huh?
27:35I'm not doing this.
27:36Oh, but you've already done so much.
27:38Yeah.
27:38Well, nothing I say is going to change your mind.
27:40How about your kids?
27:42Don't you want Wiley and Amelia to have their best life possible?
27:46And doesn't that include being with their mother?
27:49Could you imagine your life without yours?
27:56Just do the right thing, Michael.
27:59Do it for your kids.
28:07So, getting custody is completely off the table?
28:11Um, yes.
28:13Temporarily.
28:14Your credibility is far too damaged right now.
28:18But we will get another chance at visitation in October.
28:21And by then, you'll be able to prove that your public meltdowns were exceptions.
28:27They were born of extreme mental stress and emotional trauma.
28:31They're not the rule.
28:32I just don't know how I'm going to wait all those months to plead my case.
28:37You're going to be thankful for those months, Willow.
28:39Because if you were to have your hearing tomorrow, Michael would easily win.
28:44Look, the time gives us the chance to be able to build a case.
28:50To convince not only a judge, but maybe Michael as well.
28:55Showing him that you can play by the rules and manage your emotions when hurt.
29:02Look, I know it's a lot to take in.
29:06But I know you can do it.
29:08And I'll check in from time to time, okay?
29:10All you need to do is just stay the course.
29:13Right?
29:13How are you feeling?
29:24I'm a bit overwhelmed.
29:26I think I need a walk to think about everything.
29:31I'll be back.
29:32Okay.
29:3224 hours.
29:41I was stuck in New York one day longer than I was supposed to.
29:44And this wedding that nearly killed Spinelli to pull off blows up?
29:48Yes, Spinelli pulled off a major miracle.
29:51And you know, Elizabeth was incredibly helpful.
29:54I know.
29:54And those two are pretty miraculous most of the time.
29:58I just can't believe all of that happened.
30:01And I wasn't here to see it.
30:02And offer emotional support.
30:05Yeah.
30:05And Curtis telling Willow everything?
30:08I mean, who would have thought that would have happened?
30:10Yeah, I wanted to tell it myself, but he beat me to it.
30:14I don't want to say I told you so.
30:16But if you would have done what I told you to do a year ago, I guess I'm saying I told you so.
30:22You're right both times, Maxie.
30:24You and Curtis encouraged me to come clean with Willow, but things got really out of control.
30:30And I had no idea that their relationship would get as far as it did.
30:35So, all this time has passed.
30:39Why did you decide to tell her yesterday, on her wedding day, of all the days?
30:44Something must have happened.
30:47Hey, I saw Jostin earlier, and I was hoping that you'd show up too.
30:52Really?
30:53Because you wanted to tell me that my parents are right, and you see now that fighting over Drew wasn't worth it?
30:58I can't say that, Trina.
31:02Because I don't regret warning Drew, but I do regret not telling you first.
31:07Even after learning that Drew slept with Willow's mom, you're still defending him?
31:12This is the kind of man you want to protect?
31:14Okay, let's say I did regret it.
31:16Would that even matter?
31:17Would that change anything between us?
31:19It would be nice to know.
31:21But you know what?
31:23You're right.
31:25It wouldn't change anything.
31:26You did something I can't get past.
31:30And I can get over a lot of things.
31:32But betraying my parents isn't one of them.
31:35Well, then I guess nothing has changed.
31:38Yeah.
31:39I guess not.
31:39Oh, you just missed Trina.
31:53I'm sorry I missed her, but it's probably for the best.
31:59Everything okay?
32:00No.
32:01Um, I can't do this.
32:05I can't do this anymore.
32:07This living in limbo.
32:09This constant threat of something hanging over my head.
32:13Wondering when Drew is going to destroy my life.
32:15I know this hurts you.
32:19I know this hurts our family.
32:21Just as much as it hurts me.
32:24But I'm the one who got us into this.
32:26And I feel like I should take responsibility for my actions.
32:31So I'm submitting my resignation.
32:35Today.
32:37Rocco.
32:38Hey.
32:39Heard you were working here.
32:40I should have just started.
32:41Can I get you anything?
32:43Oh, uh, thanks.
32:44But I'm okay.
32:46I'm the one who should be thanking you.
32:48If it weren't for you, I never would have known I have another mother.
32:52I'm not making any mistakes when it comes to Rocco and Obreg.
32:56You know what kind of person she is and how dangerous she can be.
33:00I do.
33:01But I also know that she's made some real efforts to change.
33:06She has.
33:06And, sweetheart, she already met with Rocco, right?
33:09And nothing happened.
33:11Did it?
33:12He's fine.
33:14Your son is just curious about this part of his life that he knew absolutely nothing about.
33:22And the more you make this forbidden, the more he will chase it and shut you out in the process.
33:32To a time in my life that I never wanted to revisit.
33:35I wasn't there for my own son's birth.
33:38Britt was.
33:40I understand what it's like to have to revisit a painful time in your life to satisfy your child's curiosity.
33:48But your son's growing up, okay?
33:52He wants to know more about his life and your life, too.
33:56And that may bring about some uncomfortable conversations for you and for him.
34:02I'm sorry.
34:04Mom, I didn't mean for the conversation to go there.
34:07No, it's fine.
34:08Really, it's fine.
34:09I'm okay.
34:10All I'm trying to tell you is that every kid gets to the point where their parent is no longer their hero.
34:19They don't see them as a perfect person who does everything right.
34:24And they start to see you as a flawed human who makes mistakes.
34:31They start to see us for who we really are.
34:36Or sometimes you see your parents for who they really are.
34:40And they're still your heroes.
34:42I got through it.
34:46And you will, too.
34:47And I believe that it can be an opportunity for you and Rocco to become even closer
34:54if you actively support him and encourage him while he searches for the answers that he needs.
35:04You know, Rocco, I never meant for you to see that pile.
35:07I'm glad I did.
35:09My mom and dad, mostly my mom,
35:12act like they want me to forget it exists.
35:15And that makes me think that maybe they weren't ever going to tell me about it.
35:20I've got to see you.
35:25I decided to tell Willow about me and Drew on her wedding day
35:29because I knew that it was the last chance that I had to break the hold that Drew had over her.
35:34Marriage would have tied Willow to Drew forever.
35:38I couldn't let that happen, not as her mother.
35:40Under Drew's influence, Willow was becoming unrecognizable.
35:46And I was worried if it kept going, she would become someone even worse.
35:52Why do you say that?
35:54Because, Maxi, I suspect that she did something really bad.
35:59What?
36:00I can't tell you.
36:01It's just, if she did it, and if it came out, Willow would never be able to see Wiley or Amelia again.
36:13Thanks for seeing me.
36:16Well, the kids aren't home yet, so I didn't see a problem with it.
36:19What do you want, Willow?
36:24To apologize.
36:26Last night was a mistake, one that I fully own.
36:30You should talk to Drew.
36:31Is that why you're saying all this?
36:32God, no.
36:33Last night changed everything.
36:35I feel like I'm coming up for air after a year of being underwater.
36:39I'm good for you.
36:39I'm just sorry that it had to happen the way it did.
36:45Me too.
36:47But my mind is cleared now.
36:50And I'm here with no tears, no hysterics, no animosity.
36:54We are just two people who used to love each other before I threw it all away.
36:58So you and Drew, are you really over?
37:07We really are.
37:09And I've met the one condition you gave me.
37:12Maybe not the way you wanted me to, but I have.
37:14So please, Michael, can I see Wiley and Amelia?
37:20Wait a minute.
37:21You can't preemptively resign.
37:24Our plan is so close to working.
37:27Drew will take Scout and they'll move to D.C.
37:30I feel like we've been saying that for so long now.
37:33Okay, we have, but we've never been this close to it happening before.
37:38As long as Drew never finds out that I'm the one who told Willow,
37:43we're in the clear.
37:45Since Willow's not speaking with me, I was just...
37:49I was really hoping that she'd be speaking with you.
37:52Elizabeth, I just, I really, I just want to see her.
38:00She's out right now.
38:02But even if she were here, I would recommend you give her some space.
38:06Her world blew up yesterday.
38:08I know, I know.
38:09She should never have found out like that.
38:11I'm sure he was just looking out for Willow.
38:13Of course he was.
38:21I just wish Curtis hadn't done that.
38:28The next general hospital.
38:34Emma's going to get herself into a situation she can't get out of.
38:36Stole has facility's master key.
38:38Are you willing to hand over the blackmail material you have on my wife?
38:41Can we figure out what to do with our kids together?
38:44If that's what Vaughn is doing, he's not worth your time.
38:46I really need your help.
38:47God bless you.
