00:00You send somebody to sit outside the judge's chambers, and they don't leave until they get a signed warrant.
00:06Yeah, I understand.
00:08We can talk about the report as soon as I get into the station.
00:11Joe, have you seen your charger? Maybe you grab it and get the news.
00:13Well, I have a couple of things to do.
00:14Definitely not.
00:15Yes.
00:16I put a mark on my side when you do it again.
00:18Well.
00:20Did you look under your bed?
00:22Yeah, it's the first place I checked.
00:23All right, all right.
00:26All right, I'll be in soon. I gotta go.
00:29Okay, everybody, can you just stop for a second? Just stop what you're doing.
00:33Because we have a situation.
00:39Brennan and I were following the tracker that I put on the backpack, and then all of a sudden, it just disappeared.
00:46It literally fell off the radar.
00:48Wait, so Greta had the backpack in Dubrovnik for three days, and then she drove to Five Poppies, Dalmatia, and the tracker suddenly went dark?
00:55Yes, exactly.
00:56And then, like, three hours later, it reappeared.
01:01So what happened during those three hours?
01:08Hey, Aunt Stella.
01:10You know, I don't get enough visits from you at my office.
01:13Not nearly as many as I wish I did, so how did I get so lucky today?
01:18I'm not gonna beat around the bush.
01:21I know you don't like to gossip, Curtis, but I'm gonna play my auntie card here.
01:25Can you please tell me why did Trina and Kai break up?
01:30I'm sorry.
01:32I didn't come here to make demands.
01:35I came here to apologize.
01:38You were right, Michael.
01:40About Drew, about our relationship.
01:42All of it.
01:43I was completely wrong about him.
01:47I'll be honest.
01:49I never thought that I'd hear you say anything like that.
01:54I know that your feelings for Drew were sincere.
01:57I'm just...
01:58I'm sorry that he wasn't sincere with you.
02:03I built my entire relationship with Drew around that sincerity.
02:08Around what I thought was his honesty.
02:11I trusted him and I believed him over everyone else.
02:16If he offered me advice, I took it.
02:19I cannot believe how stupid I was.
02:22I, Drew, manipulated you, Willow.
02:25In more ways than you know.
02:28Curtis just misunderstood the situation between me and Nina and I, uh...
02:34I really wish that he hadn't told Willow,
02:37but there's a lot of people that I wish acted very differently.
02:40Myself first and foremost, so...
02:43Look, Elizabeth, at this point...
02:48All I care about, my main priority,
02:50is just reuniting Willow with her children.
02:53If you really want to help,
02:55you'll leave her alone.
02:57How can you say that?
02:58You know that I would do anything for Willow.
03:01Right now, helping means taking a step back.
03:04She's past her limit, Drew.
03:09She's not in a place where she can deal with you.
03:12No.
03:20Evidence would suggest that Outback is in dire need of a walk.
03:46Oh, she shouldn't be, because Gio just took her out.
03:49I thought you just took her out.
03:50Oh, gone.
03:51Clearly nobody took her for a walk.
03:53Emma, you know this building doesn't allow pets.
03:56If anyone hears her, they know we have her,
03:58and they're going to kick us out.
03:59So, she needs to be walked so that she doesn't bark
04:02and create a disturbance.
04:04Yeah, sorry.
04:05I'm on it.
04:07Good.
04:07This can't happen again.
04:09Emma.
04:09Mm-hmm.
04:10Seriously.
04:11Okay, I think what we need to do
04:13is we need to write a schedule in pen,
04:16and we're going to put it up on the fridge
04:18so everyone knows when the dog's been walked,
04:20when she's been fed,
04:21so she's always taken care of.
04:23I don't have time to do that now.
04:25Can you guys meet for a house meeting
04:27at 7 o'clock tonight?
04:28I can make that.
04:29Great.
04:30I'm sorry, but I can't.
04:31Professor Dalton has his special lecture tomorrow,
04:33and I really need to prep for tonight,
04:35you know, because I volunteered to handle the literature.
04:38Professor Dalton?
04:39Mm-hmm.
04:40Why are you doing that?
04:42I thought Jocelyn was his assistant.
04:43Isn't that her job?
04:44Yes, but this is good face time with Professor Dalton.
04:48If I stay on his good side,
04:50that'll make it more likely that he hires me
04:52when Jocelyn inevitably screws up and gets fired.
04:55Sorry, I gotta get to work.
04:57Yeah, go, go.
04:58That's fine.
04:59I will schedule that meeting at some point, yes?
05:01Yes, I will be there.
05:02Great.
05:02Just take the doll, please.
05:03Brennan and I discussed the possibility that the signal was dropped
05:11because someone brought the backpack to a shielded area
05:14and then brought it back out.
05:16That's definitely a possibility.
05:17Or someone found the device on the backpack,
05:21realized they were being trapped and disabled it.
05:24And then purposefully reactivated it a few hours later
05:27to try and lure out whoever was trapped.
05:29Hi there.
05:34You guys enjoying the pool?
05:37Hi.
05:38Yeah, it's a beautiful day.
05:40It is.
05:41And it's nice to see you again, Vaughn.
05:42You too, Miss Spencer.
05:44I'm sorry to interrupt,
05:44but I do need to speak to you, Jocelyn, privately.
05:48Oh, can I wait?
05:50I'm kind of in the middle of something.
05:51It can't.
05:52I need to talk to you now.
05:54In my office.
05:56Oh.
05:57Oh.
05:57I'll be right back.
06:00Okay.
06:07What, Stella?
06:08You know I love you.
06:11But I'm staying out of this one.
06:13It is completely up to Trina and Kai
06:16if they want to share the details
06:17of what's happening with their relationship.
06:19But neither one of them is sharing anything.
06:22Those two are perfect for each other,
06:24and I just want to know why they're breaking up.
06:27What happened?
06:29Well, I mean, Trina might have shared something with me.
06:32Have you talked to her about it?
06:34No.
06:35I don't want to pry.
06:37So I was waiting for her to come share with me.
06:39I'm trying to respect her privacy, Curtis.
06:43Auntie?
06:44All right, fine.
06:45Don't tell me any details.
06:47I don't need to know any to know that they're breaking up
06:50is a huge mistake on both their parts.
06:54What are you doing?
06:55You following me around?
06:57You think by being here you can stop me from talking to Willow?
07:00I'm here to see Elizabeth.
07:04So do you want me to wait outside until you two are finished,
07:07or do you want me to get rid of him?
07:08No, nobody needs to get rid of anybody.
07:12Come in.
07:15Drew, I have said all I can.
07:18It's time for you to go.
07:19Okay.
07:20Despite what you guys might think,
07:22all I want at this point,
07:24all I want is to help Willow.
07:26And if you want to help her,
07:27maybe you could talk to Michael and get him to let her see her kids.
07:31Because I know you know that she's a very good mother.
07:35Willow's being kept from Wylan and Amelia
07:37because you ripped her family apart.
07:40And now she's stuck picking up the pieces
07:42of a life that you destroyed.
07:47I just hope she finally sees it.
07:57What do you mean in more ways than I know?
08:06Drew slept with my mother and didn't tell me?
08:09What more could there possibly be?
08:12Well, in court, you testified that you came to see me
08:15at the clinic in Germany.
08:16Yeah, we already talked about this.
08:19But no one ever told me that you were there.
08:21That's impossible.
08:23I spoke to the receptionist in person.
08:27She said you didn't want to see me
08:28and that she should send me away.
08:30No, no, that never happened.
08:32I'd never say anything like that.
08:34I was alone and in pain
08:36and I was missing my family.
08:37I would love to see you.
08:41I would love to hear about the kids.
08:44Why would the receptionist lie to me?
08:46Why would she tell me something you didn't say?
08:48Oh, I swear to you that I'm telling the truth.
08:54I never instructed anyone
08:56to not let you visit.
08:58So she did it on her own?
09:01That makes no sense.
09:02She doesn't even know me.
09:04Someone had to have told her not to let me see you.
09:07Who would do that?
09:12Drew.
09:17You.
09:18Hi.
09:20Come in, Dante.
09:26So who's this?
09:28This is Outback.
09:29She's super friendly.
09:31Right, Grandma?
09:32Yeah, yeah.
09:32She's running this entire apartment,
09:35our lives, the whole thing.
09:36Oh, yeah.
09:37They do that, right?
09:38They play the hand of their doubt quite well.
09:40So, uh, how's everything?
09:48How's everything going?
09:49Here.
09:52These are great.
09:53I really like being here.
09:56Commissioner's been fantastic.
09:58We're good.
09:58I'm really grateful to her for letting me stay here.
10:03Okay, I'm grateful, too.
10:05That's great to hear.
10:08Yeah.
10:08Well, I gotta get to work, Emma.
10:14You coming with?
10:14I'll, uh, drop you off.
10:16Yeah.
10:16Right behind you.
10:18Bye, Grandma.
10:18Okay, bye.
10:20Really good to see you, Dante.
10:21Yeah, you, too.
10:23What?
10:27Oh, okay.
10:31Just let me have it.
10:32I mean, on a scale of awkward and awful,
10:34how bad was that?
10:39Okay, what was so important to talk to me about
10:42that you had to drag me away from the pool?
10:45Vaughn.
10:47What's there to talk about?
10:49He's a nice guy.
10:50We're seeing each other.
10:50We were having a good day.
10:52What's the problem?
10:54The problem is I don't know that he's a nice guy.
10:57How well do you know, Vaughn?
11:01We can all see how good their relationship has been
11:05for both of them.
11:06I agree.
11:08Then what would have led them to being completely in sync
11:11one minute and completely apart the next?
11:14Well, I can say, um, it didn't involve cheating.
11:18I think Kai and Trina just got to a point
11:20where they finally realized that
11:21they have different points of view
11:23on a very important subject.
11:26Is that what this is about?
11:29Come on.
11:29People find common ground on touchy subjects all the time.
11:32And Trina and Kai are more than capable of doing that.
11:36They just need to put in a little work.
11:38May not be possible this time, auntie.
11:40That's nonsense.
11:41Those two kids adore each other.
11:44And Trina is much happier with Kai than without him.
11:48So I say that we pool our resources together as a family
11:53and do a little repair matchmaking.
11:57I'm sorry, auntie.
12:00But I don't think that's a good idea.
12:03Fine.
12:06I'll do it myself.
12:09Do you really think it was Drew
12:11that he somehow got through to the receptionist
12:14and stopped us from speaking?
12:16Or seeing each other?
12:19I do.
12:21It wasn't me or anyone else in my family.
12:24Jason was the one who advised me to talk to you.
12:26I went to him because I know how much you trust him.
12:29He said that if we could just sit down face to face
12:33without anyone else interfering,
12:34that we could figure out together what's best for our kids.
12:38Yeah, I think we would have too.
12:40Well, if we had just seen each other a day in Germany,
12:44I think most of this could have been avoided.
12:48You're right.
12:50But we're in the same room now.
12:53And we're talking.
12:56So please,
12:58can we figure out what to do about our kids together?
13:02Right now.
13:03Just us.
13:06Sorry about that.
13:07I didn't know Drew was going to be here.
13:11All things considered,
13:12I thought you were pretty cordial.
13:14You didn't beat him up,
13:15so that's progress.
13:17It doesn't mean I didn't want to.
13:19Yeah, I think a lot of people feel that way.
13:22If you're here to check on Willow,
13:25she just stepped out for a bit.
13:27Well, I didn't even know she was staying here.
13:31Yeah, just until she puts herself back together.
13:34Well, it doesn't surprise me
13:36that you would go out of your way for Willow like that.
13:39Well, I've got an empty house.
13:40It's not hard to do.
13:43But most people wouldn't.
13:45It's a very generous thing to do.
13:48If you're not here for Willow,
13:50why'd you want to see me?
13:52I really need your help.
13:53So, I need a favor.
14:01I need to look at the general hospital records
14:04that show the disposition of bodies.
14:07I know.
14:08I know anyone who went through the GH morgue.
14:12I just need to know where their bodies were sent.
14:14But that's the big ask.
14:17If anyone found out, I could lose my job.
14:19Okay, they won't.
14:21And you have my word that this has nothing to do with Sunny,
14:24not the business at all.
14:27This is personal.
14:30And really, I wouldn't be asking you
14:32if it wasn't important.
14:33And this will not come back to hurt you
14:35in any way.
14:36I assume you're looking for someone specific.
14:45Right.
14:47Can you at least give me a time frame?
14:52Anyone who went through the morgue 2022 to 2024?
14:58It's, there were anyone but you, Jason,
15:08I wouldn't be doing this.
15:12I guess I still trust you.
15:18I've got laundry at town.
15:20It was a little bit.
15:50It was a little awkward,
15:50but it didn't go off badly, I don't think.
15:53Come on.
15:54Yeah, he couldn't wait to get out of here.
15:56Oh, no, he wasn't lying about getting to work.
15:58You know, he takes his job very seriously.
16:01He's kind of like you.
16:04In fact, being around him,
16:08you two have a lot in common.
16:10Really?
16:10Yeah.
16:12Well, that's cool.
16:15I haven't really gotten a chance
16:17to talk to him or figure out
16:20any of that kind of stuff
16:20because every time I walk into a room,
16:22he runs out of it.
16:24I'm trying to let Gio,
16:27you know, dictate the pace.
16:31But there's not a lot of pace being set.
16:33Oh, no, there's none.
16:34Okay.
16:34None whatsoever.
16:35I mean, especially everything going on with Rocco.
16:38I'm just worried that Gio's going to feel
16:40even more neglected than he already has been.
16:41What's going on with Rocco?
16:44He stumbled upon some information
16:46about his birth
16:47and Britt Westbourne's role in it.
16:52Oh.
16:53It's got to be very confusing.
16:56Yeah.
16:58Yeah, it is for him,
17:00for me,
17:01for Lulu.
17:03I mean, how do you tell your son
17:04that the only reason he exists
17:07is because someone you trusted
17:11stole one of your embryos?
17:14Were you ever planning on telling him about it?
17:16Yeah, yeah, we were.
17:17We were going to tell him,
17:18but he was too young
17:19when Lulu went into her coma.
17:22And I didn't feel right doing it without her.
17:24The time didn't feel right.
17:25And so he decided to reach out to Liesl Albrecht.
17:29No.
17:30Yes.
17:31Who's all more than happy
17:33to answer any question
17:35he may have about Britt
17:36and even came to Port Charles
17:37to tell him in person.
17:38Oh, God.
17:39But look, Albrecht isn't,
17:41isn't what's important here.
17:42What it is is that
17:43Rocco found out the whole truth,
17:46not from your Lulu.
17:49And now he's just looking at us differently
17:51and there's this level of uncertainty
17:53that's never existed before.
17:57And between that and Gio
17:58and trying to figure out
17:59what relationship, if anything,
18:01I'm going to have with him,
18:02it's just, I think I've got
18:04all the uncertainty I can handle.
18:06Where's this coming from?
18:08You've never policed
18:09any of the guys that I've dated.
18:11That's not what I'm doing now.
18:12But I'm your mom
18:13and I'm always going to look out for you
18:15and I have some concerns about Vaughn.
18:17Uh-huh.
18:17Like what?
18:18Like his age?
18:19I think he's too old for you?
18:21Oh, God.
18:22Mom, I'm not a kid anymore.
18:24I'm 21 years old.
18:26Oh, gosh.
18:27And you were fine with me
18:27dating Dax,
18:28who worked for Sunny
18:29and then became a cop.
18:31Sure, Vaughn's a few years older than me,
18:33but he's not exposing me
18:34to anything that I haven't already seen.
18:36Okay?
18:37Okay.
18:38I don't know why you're being like this.
18:40You usually trust my judgment.
18:42I do trust your judgment,
18:43but I...
18:44I had a conversation with Anna
18:46and I'm wondering
18:47if you should be trusting Vaughn.
18:50Okay.
18:50I see what has happened here.
18:53Anna is upset
18:54because Emma got her feelings hurt
18:56about the whole Vaughn situation
18:57and now she's whispering in your ear.
18:59Maybe there's a good reason for that, Jocelyn,
19:01because I heard what happened at the bar.
19:05And Anna and I are in agreement with this.
19:07We are.
19:07I don't think it's okay for an older guy
19:09or any guy for that matter
19:10to be pitting you and Emma against each other.
19:12And if that's what Vaughn is doing,
19:14he's not worth your time.
19:16Was it a good call?
19:20Having me ask Olivia about Outback
19:21could have special pool privileges?
19:23I knew she'd say yes.
19:25Olivia's a sucker for animals,
19:26especially dogs.
19:27How could she not be?
19:29You're the best girl in the whole world,
19:30aren't you?
19:33Outback, no!
19:35Come here, girl!
19:38Oh!
19:39Hey!
19:40What are you doing, Herbie?
19:42I'm fine, dear.
19:44Of course you had to go there.
19:45Julia, would you please get Outback for me?
19:48You go get her.
19:50I'm on the clock.
19:51Uh, no, you don't understand, okay?
19:52I don't want to have contact with that guy.
19:54Why?
19:55Emma.
19:57I believe this little lady belongs to you?
20:00Did you know her head smells like Fritos?
20:05I know, I know you want to talk about ways to help Willow.
20:09My best advice is for you to do nothing.
20:11I know who told Willow about my affair with Mina.
20:15What do you mean?
20:16Wasn't it Nina?
20:18No.
20:19It was Curtis.
20:29Auntie?
20:30Yes?
20:30I love hanging out with you.
20:32Mm-hmm.
20:33But what I am not going to do is play matchmaker for Trina and Kai.
20:39She made her decision, and I respect that.
20:42Well, as long as you don't crap my style when I try to do it.
20:46Oh, I wish that we could figure this out just between us.
20:58But it's too late.
21:01What do you mean?
21:04Wiley and Amelia are our children.
21:06It's never too late for us to make decisions about their well-being.
21:09Willow, the court's involved now.
21:11They've granted me full custody.
21:12Your visitation hearing is already on the calendar.
21:14Whatever the court rules, we have to abide by that.
21:16I've seen you find your way around a court before.
21:20You're acting like you have to follow all their rules, but you're only doing that because
21:24it gets you everything you want.
21:27No, don't.
21:27Don't do that.
21:28This is not what I wanted.
21:30What about Wiley and Amelia?
21:31I know they miss me.
21:33I am their mom.
21:34They need me.
21:35Just tell the court that you want the kids to see me.
21:39And then we can come up with something, the two of us, and have the court sign off on it.
21:43Please.
21:44Michael, please.
21:45I'm sorry, Willow.
21:48I don't want the kids to see you.
21:54Did you find what you were looking for?
21:57I have no idea what you're talking about.
22:00Glad to hear it.
22:05I should get going.
22:11Hey, did you get a postcard from Jake from Elizabeth?
22:16Yeah, I did.
22:18Sounds like he's having a great time with Aiden and Lucky.
22:21Yeah, I'm glad they all got a chance to meet up.
22:23And keep us in the loop on all their adventures.
22:28Thanks again.
22:31Jason.
22:33Be careful.
22:35You're really juggling a lot right now, Dante.
22:45You know, you've got these two young men in your life and they're trying to figure out who they are.
22:49And you're such a good dad.
22:52Yeah, you are.
22:53Your instinct is to protect them while they do that.
22:58I just want them both to be okay.
23:01I know.
23:02Anyway, you didn't call me here to talk about my family drama.
23:07You wanted to know if I got any info on that woman that Jocelyn placed the tracker on at the airport.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Yeah.
23:13What did you do you learn?
23:14Well, I got footage of her place on the tracker.
23:17Yeah.
23:17Something you might be interested to know is that she was dropped off at the airport in a Metrocourt hotel vehicle.
23:24The woman was?
23:25Yeah.
23:26I got a name for you, but it's probably an alias.
23:29Yeah.
23:30It probably is.
23:31Do you know who else is currently staying at the Metrocourt hotel?
23:36Professor Henry Dalton.
23:39Emma and I are not in some weird love triangle, okay?
23:43Neither one of us would bother.
23:46Emma's upset that I got the position as Professor Dalton's research assistant, so to pay me back, she thought she could make a pass at Vaughn.
23:53It worked.
23:55I mean, Vaughn took her out on a date.
23:57Yeah, that bothers you a lot more than it bothers me.
23:59Vaughn and I aren't exclusive.
24:03And what Emma was doing was pretty transparent, so I put a stop to it.
24:07All right, I'm glad you put a stop to it.
24:10But where does that leave you and Vaughn now?
24:13Are you really okay with this non-exclusive situationship?
24:18Or are you looking for something more serious?
24:21I need to get to work.
24:23Excuse me.
24:27Sorry about Outback.
24:28She's, uh, kind of a flirt.
24:31Well, she should be.
24:32She's very cute.
24:36I, um, I've been meaning to reach out to you.
24:40I'm really sorry about what happened with Jocelyn.
24:43I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.
24:45That was very nice of you, but I'm fine.
24:47I, uh, I actually think that you and Joc are perfect for each other.
24:54Come on.
24:54Are you sure it was Curtis to Willow?
25:01I heard it from an unimpeachable source.
25:04I, I made the mistake of confiding in Curtis when I thought we were friends.
25:10And I knew that there was nothing left of that friendship.
25:14But I never thought that Curtis would destroy Willow just to get back at me.
25:20I know it's hot out, but if you think driving me with iced tea is going to stop me from doing what I'm...
25:30Rumors?
25:32Rumors are flying around GH about what happened to Willow and Drew's wedding.
25:37And apparently she really gave it to him at that altar.
25:41I'm just happy she finally found my backbone.
25:44Showed a slick sense.
25:48Stella.
25:50Hey.
25:50Nice to see you.
25:53Would you mind giving Curtis and me a minute?
25:55We, uh, we have something that we need to discuss.
26:02How could you not want my children to see me?
26:05I'm their mother.
26:06I will.
26:07You, you got what you wanted.
26:08Okay.
26:09I'm not with Drew anymore.
26:10How much longer are you going to punish me?
26:12Hey, I am not trying to punish you.
26:15Alright, I'm just trying to do what's best for my kids.
26:17And right now, you are not good for them.
26:22Well, I guess I'll just go say hello to Mr. Gray and give you two...
26:26A few minutes.
26:28Thank you, Auntie.
26:36Well, Curtis, you may have heard my wedding to Willow didn't happen.
26:44I heard something about that.
26:47Well, the dissolution of my relationship has forced me to think about a few things, one of which being...
26:52I have more enemies than I need or want.
27:00You and I were once friends, best friends, and I am under no illusion that we can rebuild that.
27:05But I am sick of the back and forth where I hurt you, you hurt me back.
27:14So what are you saying?
27:16I'd like to call a truce.
27:18We agree to stay in our own respective corners and just avoid each other whenever possible.
27:24Can we do that?
27:26That depends, Drew.
27:29Are you willing to hand over the blackmail material you have on my wife?
27:34I will consider it once I know that we're not at each other's throats.
27:40So what do you say?
27:42Truce?
27:43Truce, I won't be the one to break the peace.
27:48Good.
27:50Neither will I.
27:52So when Emma suddenly arrived back here in Port Charles, she enrolled in PCU.
27:57But what she failed to mention was that she had been expelled from her last university for breaking into a lab.
28:05Wow.
28:06I mean, expulsion for a B&E, that's actually not that bad.
28:11She could have been prosecuted.
28:12Yes.
28:13And according to Emma, the university, they wanted to keep this incident out of the press.
28:18So they declined to press charges in exchange for her signing an NDA.
28:23Well, that's just suspicious.
28:24Then I learned that this professor Dalton, he transfers from her former university, and then she enrolls in his environmental physics class.
28:34So Dalton and Emma got to be connected somehow, she broke into what I believe was Dalton's lab to find proof that the university was testing on animals.
28:51So Emma must think that he's doing the same thing at PCU, right?
28:56Yes.
28:56That's why she was so dead set on being his summer research assistant.
29:01But then, of course, you know, Jocelyn got that position, so.
29:04Okay, so we got the Dalton-Vaughn-Jocelyn connection.
29:09Mm-hmm.
29:10And the WSB wanted Jocelyn to plant the tracker on that woman because they must think she's connected to Dalton, too.
29:18So do I.
29:19I mean, they weren't just staying at the same hotel at the same time.
29:22No, they weren't.
29:24I know you've got a lot on your plate right now.
29:28I really need to find out what this Dalton is up to.
29:31I'm just worried that Emma's going to get herself into a situation she can't get out of.
29:36I don't want to be in a serious relationship right now.
29:40I like spending time with Vaughn.
29:42I like getting to know him, and that's it.
29:44And after the year I've had, I don't think that that's a bad thing.
29:47No, it's not a bad thing.
29:48I just want you to be careful.
29:52Emma's getting in your head.
29:54She's overprotective of Emma.
29:56Emma and I are very, very different people.
30:00I'm just having fun.
30:02I love that.
30:03I do.
30:03And I want you to be around people who make you happy.
30:06But just promise me, if it gets serious between the two of you that you'll come and you'll tell me?
30:12I don't see that happening.
30:14But yes, if it does, I will tell you, of course.
30:17But I'll tell you after I tell Trina.
30:19Okay, I'll take it.
30:21But seriously, you know that you can come to me about anything at any time, right?
30:29Yes, of course.
30:31Of course.
30:36Who are you to decide if I should be in my children's lives?
30:40Well, you showed up to my mom's house last night in your wedding dress, screaming for a while.
30:45You terrified him.
30:47Look, I know that you're going through a lot.
30:50But you're not thinking like a mom right now.
30:54What does that even mean?
30:56Look, you think I don't understand what you're going through, but I do.
30:59You've been betrayed by the person you love.
31:01You're devastated.
31:02You feel like you've been burned.
31:03And I can tell you from experience, when you get burned, you need to heal.
31:08And that takes time.
31:11How much time?
31:14My healing was on the outside.
31:17It's yours.
31:18It's on the inside.
31:19I know you can't see it right now, but you're not in a place to be a parent, okay?
31:25You proved it last night, and you're proving it again right now.
31:31I will never forget this, Michael.
31:34I will never forget that I came to you begging for a chance just to see my children, and you turned me away.
31:42Ready to get that iced tea?
31:53Yes, sounds wonderful.
31:56Oh, and don't forget to fill out that 1040 and send it over to me.
31:59Oh, God.
32:00Stout.
32:01Yes.
32:01Thanks again.
32:02I really appreciate it.
32:04Happy to help.
32:09Congressman.
32:121040, what's that about?
32:19Hospital.
32:20Yeah, I'm well aware there's tension between you and Curtis, but you've got to know, as far as I'm concerned, his aunt is a living, breathing angel.
32:29She helped me navigate my way through a very sticky insurance situation over at GH, you know, with my back injury.
32:36They were going to deny me treatment.
32:38Only a real insider could work the kind of miracle she did.
32:42What on earth did that man want?
32:47Well, it's possible that Drew and I have stepped back from the brink, and we may have settled on a truce.
32:54Really?
32:55Well, we'll never be friends again.
32:57But, at least, we're not set on annihilating each other anymore, either.
33:03If you're right, and it was Curtis that blew up your relationship with Willow, I was expecting some kind of fireworks she walked over there.
33:11But from where I'm sitting, it looked perfectly cordial.
33:14Does this mean, Congressman, that you're, what, evolving?
33:20Letting bygones be bygones?
33:23What you saw wasn't me calling a truce.
33:27It was me playing the long game.
33:29Mom, I need...
33:32Um, yeah, yeah, so call me back if there's a problem.
33:36Hey, what's going on?
33:39It's Willow.
33:40She came to the house.
33:42She wanted to see the kids again?
33:43Yeah, at first, but then she started backtracking, saying that she wanted us to work together to figure out a way that she could see Wiley and Amelia again.
33:50And I...
33:51You said no.
33:52I did.
33:54Yeah, right now, the state that Willow's in, she has no business being around the kids.
34:00I agree with you.
34:02While we were talking, there's moments, one moment, that she was the old Willow.
34:11The Willow I knew.
34:12Then I made it clear that I wasn't going to give her what she wanted, and she immediately reverted back into this irrational, desperate person that wound up on your doorstep.
34:26No, I just don't know when it's going to be healthy for her to be around the kids again.
34:30Honestly, I don't know if it ever will be.
34:34You're welcome.
34:40Hi.
34:42How was your walk?
34:44I didn't go for a walk.
34:47I went to see Michael.
34:50How did that go?
34:52As well as you'd probably think.
34:55I was hoping, now that Drew and I are over, Michael and I could find some common ground so I could see my kids, but...
35:02No.
35:03Michael has full custody of my children, and he doesn't think I should see them.
35:08I'm so sorry.
35:09He looked me right in the face and said I should heal.
35:12Before I see them.
35:14That must have been really hard to hear.
35:16Rick was right.
35:18I have to show the world that I am stable and strong and a good mother.
35:22I have to make it so that no one can ever take my children away from me again.
35:28I will get you what you need.
35:30Really?
35:32I know this isn't official police business.
35:34Yes, and I am aware that your experience with the WSB was less than positive.
35:43Yeah.
35:44Yeah, it was.
35:45It was terrible.
35:47But you and Emma have been incredible to Gio.
35:51So I will do whatever I can for your granddaughter.
35:55I appreciate that.
35:58And thank you for not calling me an overprotective grandmother.
36:01Nah, are you kidding me?
36:01I trust your instincts.
36:04You know, Emma is incredibly brave.
36:06I'm just really concerned that she's going to stumble onto some kind of high-risk intelligence threat.
36:15And I've seen civilians do that before.
36:18They invariably wind up dead, you know.
36:25Can't let that happen to my granddaughter.
36:26How's it going?
36:29Good.
36:30You guys working with me?
36:31Every day.
36:34Hey.
36:35Hi.
36:36I'm going to get a drink.
36:38I'll catch up with you later.
36:40Sounds good.
36:50Is it hard for you to see the two of them together?
36:53No.
36:55Not at all.
36:55Okay.
36:57What's with all the tension between you and Jocelyn?
36:59Are you giving her the cold shoulder?
37:01Are you coming to get away from Vaughn fast enough?
37:03Well, I'm just trying to stay clear of Vaughn because...
37:07Well...
37:09Still has Facilities Master Key.
37:13Should get me into any building on campus.
37:17Including Professor Dalton's lab.
37:20So, your mom made questions about me.
37:23Yes.
37:24Anna got to her.
37:26But Anna is still digging into you.
37:29I can probably fend off my mom, but Anna's a pro.
37:33I don't know how long we have until she exposes you.
37:36Yeah, well, Brennan must be thinking the same thing.
37:40What makes you say that?
37:41While you're with your mom, Brennan called a sin.
37:45He's pulling us from the investigation.
37:48He's pulling us from the investigation.
37:48Dr. Britt Westbourne.
37:49Dr. Britt Westbourne.
37:51Dr. Britt Westbourne.
37:52What's that?
37:54Oh, her mother selected the eternal peace urn.
37:57And she picked up Dr. Westbourne's ashes, January 12th, 2023.
38:05Huh.
38:06Is something wrong?
38:07Is something wrong?
38:08Actually, yes.
38:09The form is incomplete.
38:10If you ever process Dr. Westbourne's paperwork a bit of the date and time of the cremation, there's no record of it actually happening.
38:20Is that odd?
38:22I've never seen it before.
38:24I'm sure it's just an oversight.
38:26Mistakes happen, right?
38:32On the next General Hospital.
38:33I can't just keep looking the other way.
38:35Just in case I'm calling in some backups.
38:37What happened?
38:38Dalton is no longer the primary target.
38:40What behavior are you talking about?
38:42So I saw something I need you to tell me that it's not just in my head.
38:45I'm not going anywhere.
