00:00Dr. Jones has an emergency appendectomy,
00:27so my lap coli has been pushed back an hour.
00:31Okay, okay, good to know.
00:36Excuse me, Dr. Cannon.
00:41Is this a good time?
00:43It is now.
00:48What brings you to the hospital?
00:51I have a very important invitation for my wife.
00:57Thank you for meeting me, Trina.
01:01Of course, I'm glad you called.
01:02It's been way too long since we hung out.
01:04Yes, it has.
01:06Uh-oh.
01:07I'm hearing a tone.
01:10Am I in trouble?
01:11No, but I'm about to be.
01:14Your father gave me explicit instructions
01:16not to medal or matchmake,
01:18but I'm afraid I'm left with no choice
01:20but to do both.
01:22Now that Sidwell's funding is gone,
01:25how can I help spread awareness for Measure C?
01:29Well, we don't have to discuss this now.
01:32Oh, no.
01:33I'm sorry.
01:34Can I?
01:35Yeah.
01:37Measure C is definitely going to have to wait.
01:38I've got to redirect my focus
01:40to moving to D.C.
01:43Permanently.
01:45So, you formed a voting bloc
01:49to stop a resolution
01:51to expand the public library?
01:54Well, as far as I'm concerned,
01:57Port Charles' readers can afford to wait.
02:00For what?
02:01November.
02:03Because once you are voted out,
02:05Mayor Ezra Boyle will happily sign
02:07your failed resolution
02:08all by his lonesome.
02:12Really?
02:14And there's no signature on the card?
02:17No, I'll handle it.
02:19Just leave it on my desk.
02:20Thanks.
02:22Sorry.
02:23Problem?
02:25My admin informed me
02:27that a gift has just been delivered
02:28to my office.
02:29a pricey basket
02:31of restorative bath products.
02:34That's a rather intimate gift
02:36for a public official.
02:39And there was no name on the card?
02:42Any idea who sent it?
02:44I know exactly who sent it.
02:48Sonny Carinthos.
02:51Gio!
02:52Is that my Donna?
02:54Hi.
02:55Hey, Gio.
02:57Grandpa, how you doing?
02:57Remember how you promised
03:00to play the violin
03:01at my birthday party?
03:02Well, it's coming up in September.
03:05Gio can play,
03:05and I'll sing.
03:06It'll be so much fun.
03:10So, I was thinking about
03:11what you were telling me
03:12about Willow being the one
03:13targeting Daisy and Sasha.
03:16Right.
03:16I know you said
03:17she wasn't on the cameras here,
03:18but what if I pulled
03:19traffic cam footage
03:20like Harborview Drive?
03:22If we can see her vehicle
03:24in that footage
03:25on July the 4th,
03:26we can place her
03:27at the estate
03:28when the baby was threatened.
03:29Would that hold up in court?
03:31Let's go to court.
03:43Willow?
03:44What's going on?
03:46Oh.
03:47Hey, Chase.
03:50What did...
03:50What did you say?
03:53Uh, just a stupid question.
03:55Let me try that again.
03:56Can I...
03:57Can I do anything for you?
03:59You're doing it?
04:00I'm really sorry, Anstona.
04:27There's no need to be sorry.
04:28I just thought you and Kai
04:30were so happy,
04:31so I'm curious
04:32about what happened.
04:35I mean...
04:36Yeah, we were happy.
04:39But Kai overheard
04:40my mom and dad
04:41planning something that...
04:44involved Drew.
04:46And Kai told me about it,
04:49and we talked,
04:50and we agreed that
04:51this has nothing
04:53to do with us.
04:54So we stayed out of it.
04:56But Kai works for Drew.
04:59So he probably feels
05:01a little indebted
05:02and very grateful.
05:04Right.
05:05So in spite
05:06of what we agreed on,
05:08and without even
05:09giving me a heads up,
05:12Kai told Drew
05:12what he overheard,
05:13and it caused
05:14a big problem
05:16with all of us.
05:18He trusted Kai,
05:19and he broke his word.
05:20He broke his word,
05:21and he hurt my family.
05:23And that's something
05:25I just can't get past.
05:27You know your favorite chef,
05:28Adrian Sinclair,
05:29from that cooking show?
05:31Chef Supreme?
05:33Yes.
05:33Yes, of course.
05:34Okay, well,
05:35he's in town for the evening,
05:36and I've arranged
05:36for a private tasting.
05:39Babe!
05:39Are you serious?
05:41Yeah.
05:42Oh, my gosh,
05:42that's gonna be awesome.
05:44Honey,
05:45I just figured
05:45after everything
05:46we've been through lately
05:47that maybe we should
05:49make time for us.
05:50I mean, just for us.
05:53I love the sound of that.
05:55Me too.
05:58What the hell?
06:07This place is amazing.
06:10This is so great.
06:13Like, did you get
06:14a very good rate
06:15on your mortgage,
06:16or what?
06:16No.
06:17And I had to put down
06:18a bigger deposit,
06:19but my agent said
06:20it was the only way
06:21they'd close.
06:21I see.
06:22That's...
06:23Oh, this place
06:24is gonna be lovely
06:25when it's furnished.
06:26You know?
06:27If you can afford it.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Furniture.
06:30Yeah, you know what?
06:31I'm actually working
06:32with this incredible
06:33interior designer.
06:34Theo Thompson?
06:35Oh, yeah.
06:35You're right up here.
06:36Yeah, I have.
06:37Yeah, Theo.
06:38Yes, actually.
06:39Wow.
06:39So nice.
06:40Max, you told me
06:41about him
06:42for my place,
06:43but...
06:44Yeah, he's great,
06:46but he's very expensive.
06:48I know, but...
06:50I can afford it now.
06:54Unfortunately, Donna,
06:55my violin broke,
06:57so I can't play right now,
07:01but I never miss
07:03your birthday party.
07:05Okay?
07:05I'm there.
07:06Donna,
07:07your swim coach
07:08is ready for you.
07:09Okay, Daddy.
07:14You know,
07:14you don't have to
07:15go to the party.
07:16I mean,
07:16she'd love you to go,
07:17but...
07:18There's no way
07:18I'm disappointing Donna.
07:21Guessing Dante
07:21and Brooklyn
07:22will be there, though.
07:24Yeah,
07:24she wouldn't have it
07:25any other way,
07:26and I know
07:26it's difficult
07:27for you to be around that.
07:28When I found out
07:30that they were
07:30my parents,
07:33everyone told me
07:34to give it time,
07:36and I have...
07:37My feelings
07:38haven't changed.
07:39I know
07:40Brooklyn was really young
07:42when she asked me
07:44the fact
07:44that she gave you up.
07:48I'll be going to court,
07:50or back to court,
07:51actually,
07:51for the visitation
07:52hearing in October.
07:53I can't imagine
07:55how much those kids
07:56miss Willow
07:57and how much
07:58she misses them.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Yeah,
08:02the kids,
08:03they definitely
08:03miss their mom,
08:04and they're very
08:05confused by all this.
08:06I know
08:07Willow's hurting,
08:08and she wants
08:09to be with them,
08:09but...
08:10Then why not let her?
08:12Because she's not stable
08:13right now,
08:14Brooklyn.
08:14Okay,
08:15it's not good
08:15for the kids to see her.
08:16Not like this.
08:19I just hope
08:20I don't have to ask
08:20for a postponement.
08:24They call her.
08:25I'll see you guys later.
08:26Okay?
08:32I mean,
08:32I know that Willow
08:34screwed up,
08:34but my heart breaks
08:35for her.
08:36Yeah,
08:37of course it does.
08:39Michael's keeping
08:39Willow from her kids,
08:41and you guys
08:41want to see you.
08:44So let's do
08:45something about it.
08:49You have every right
08:51to your feelings.
08:52I know that
08:53because of Dante,
08:55when he found out
08:56that I was his father,
08:57he had to figure it out
08:59on his own.
09:01How'd he do it?
09:03You'd have to ask him,
09:05but, you know,
09:07he didn't know about me,
09:10just like you don't know
09:10about him,
09:11and there was a time
09:12that I thought that
09:15we would never have
09:16a relationship,
09:16but we got there.
09:20Can I tell you what?
09:22I wouldn't trade it
09:23for the world.
09:27I'm not sure
09:27this can happen with us.
09:29I believe you'll get there.
09:32And if I don't?
09:34If you don't,
09:35you're not obligated
09:36to make nice
09:38with either of them.
09:40But if you ever decide
09:42you want to make
09:43a go at it,
09:44I can tell you right now,
09:46they're going to be there.
09:47And you know why?
09:48Because your parents
09:51are amazing people.
09:54I keep thinking about
09:56the situation with Rocco
09:57and Britt,
09:59and how I didn't
09:59tackle that head-on.
10:02I just kept putting it off,
10:03and then he found out
10:04about Britt anyway,
10:04and now he's vulnerable
10:06to Obrecht,
10:06and quite frankly,
10:08his own imagination.
10:09And I can't apologize enough.
10:11No, no, no, stop.
10:12I didn't bring this up
10:14to talk about the Britt file.
10:19We chose to give Gio space
10:22and let him come to us.
10:23Yes, and I'm sure
10:24that Gio needed that space.
10:26But every time
10:27I've seen him lately,
10:28he seems just as hurt
10:30and just as angry.
10:32It feels like the space
10:34is not helping him heal.
10:36No, it feels like
10:37it's actually making
10:38his anger fester more,
10:40and now he's built
10:40this wall between us.
10:43And look,
10:45it's been difficult with Rocco,
10:46but we've been able
10:47to talk through it,
10:47and work through it.
10:51I want us to do
10:52the same thing with Gio.
10:55Ordinarily,
10:56I'd be at work right now,
10:58but Elizabeth sent me home yesterday.
11:02She said I should take the day off,
11:04and she's probably right.
11:06What's going on?
11:07I lost my temper
11:11and slapped Lucas Jones.
11:15Slapped, as in?
11:17Hard.
11:18Basically, an assault.
11:20Okay.
11:22He's not going to report the incident,
11:23and it's not going on my record,
11:25but Elizabeth thought
11:27I should decompress.
11:28What led to this?
11:32I mean, I know you really
11:33don't just slap people.
11:36Did Lucas do something
11:37to provoke you?
11:39Wow.
11:41What?
11:43I can't tell you
11:45how much it means
11:46to hear you say that.
11:47You're the first person
11:49in a long time
11:52who's given me
11:52the benefit of the doubt.
11:56Kai doesn't strike me
11:57as a liar,
11:58so why do you think
11:59he went to Drew?
11:59Because he's not a liar.
12:02Kai told Drew everything
12:04because he felt like
12:05he had to be honest,
12:06but he threw loyalty
12:07and trust out the window.
12:09I really thought
12:11that we were building something.
12:12I think you were.
12:14Then where was
12:15his loyalty to me?
12:16Why was it outweighed
12:18by the loyalty to Drew,
12:19someone who's not loyal
12:20to anyone?
12:22Congressman,
12:22if you feel it's necessary
12:24to make a permanent move
12:25to D.C.,
12:26I'm not going to try
12:27to talk you out of it.
12:28Okay.
12:30But?
12:31But,
12:32while I've gotten to know you,
12:34I've also gotten to spend
12:35time with Scout,
12:36and she loves her brothers.
12:38She's talking about
12:39her grandmother Alexis
12:40and her aunts
12:41all the time.
12:42And aren't you worried
12:43that she might miss them?
12:45I mean,
12:45she's lost so much already.
12:47Well,
12:48your concern for Scout
12:50just shows what a,
12:51what a kind young man
12:53you are,
12:54and I appreciate that.
12:56But Scout's grandmother
12:57believes that she would
12:59be better off
13:00with her.
13:02You mean,
13:03Scout would be with Alexis
13:05while you're in D.C.?
13:07Not just them.
13:08Which, obviously,
13:09I don't agree with.
13:10And,
13:10and,
13:10it's,
13:12it's not fair to put Scout
13:13in the middle
13:13of that kind of tension.
13:14No,
13:14that'd be horrible.
13:16I've just lost so much already.
13:18I've lost Willow,
13:19I lost my son,
13:20Oscar,
13:21I lost Scout's mother,
13:22Sam,
13:23and,
13:24and so much more.
13:27Just,
13:27my daughter's everything to me.
13:29She's my entire world,
13:31and the best thing
13:32that we can do
13:32right now
13:33is to move to D.C.
13:35as soon as possible.
13:40It twisted my ankle
13:42at the softball game.
13:43At the time,
13:44I didn't think
13:44it was that bad,
13:45and I tried to make it
13:46off the field
13:46without anyone noticing,
13:48but,
13:49Sonny Corinthos saw me
13:50and insisted upon
13:52taking me to the ER.
13:54After several x-rays
13:55and scans,
13:56it turned out
13:56to be just a spray.
13:57Well,
13:59that's good.
14:00So,
14:00the, um,
14:01spa products
14:02are for your ankle?
14:04Yes,
14:04but sending
14:05restorative bath products
14:07to my office
14:08is completely inappropriate.
14:11Only if you accept them.
14:12Exactly.
14:13Which is why
14:14I need to make it
14:15very clear
14:16to Mr. Corinthos
14:17that one trip
14:18to the ER
14:18does not equal
14:20a friendship.
14:23Well,
14:25here's your chance.
14:27I agree with you
14:31100%.
14:32We have given Gio space
14:34and he has used it
14:35to build a wall
14:35and you need to be
14:36the one to break it down.
14:38What do you mean?
14:39Why me?
14:39Why not us?
14:40Because you didn't even know
14:42you had a child out there.
14:44And even if Gio
14:44doesn't understand
14:45that emotionally,
14:47intellectually,
14:48he understands
14:49why you weren't
14:49in his life.
14:50You didn't even know
14:51he existed.
14:52So you need to show him
14:54how great you are.
14:56As a,
14:57a parent
14:57and a friend.
14:59All I keep hearing
15:00is you saying
15:01what I should do.
15:02This is an us
15:04thing.
15:06I don't want to do
15:06this without you.
15:07I want to get through
15:07to Gio together.
15:09No, Dante,
15:09you need to
15:10approach him alone
15:11and Gio
15:12may be able
15:13to forgive you.
15:14I don't see him
15:15ever forgiving me.
15:18Lucas said that
15:19I don't care about
15:21my kids
15:21as much as I do
15:22Drew
15:22and I,
15:23I lost it.
15:26That's where
15:27you slapped him?
15:29Yep.
15:30And it's weird
15:31because it's not like
15:32that's the first time
15:33anyone's ever
15:34said that to me.
15:35Michael repeatedly,
15:37Carly,
15:37Sasha,
15:38even Jocelyn,
15:39they've all said
15:40a version of that
15:40to me.
15:42Everybody has
15:42their limits,
15:43even you.
15:45Maybe it was just
15:46one time too many.
15:49Well,
15:49I've never slapped
15:51anyone else,
15:52so...
15:54I wasn't there,
15:55so I don't have
15:56all the details.
15:57Should you have
15:58slapped him?
15:59Obviously not.
16:00Did he have it coming?
16:03Legally,
16:04I'm required to tell you
16:04that he did not,
16:05but off the record,
16:08it kind of sounds
16:09like he had it coming.
16:14You're a good mom.
16:16And you really
16:17love your kids.
16:18And Lucas had no right
16:19to make that kind
16:20of judgment.
16:29Hey, Mike,
16:30how's it going, man?
16:31Good, man.
16:32What brings you to GH?
16:33Is everything okay?
16:34Yeah, routine blood work.
16:35How about you?
16:36Everything okay?
16:37Everything's fine, man.
16:38I'm here confirming
16:39the dates for the
16:39pediatric sports initiative.
16:41And it gives me
16:42a good reason
16:43to visit my wife.
16:44How'd that go?
16:46Great.
16:47And a lot of that
16:48is because of you.
16:52Seems like things
16:52are looking good
16:53between you
16:54and your husband.
16:55How bad was it
16:56us kissing
16:57in the hub
16:57like that?
17:00Coaching staff
17:01can get away
17:02with a little PDA.
17:03It's just that
17:04he's being so nice
17:05and we're going
17:06on a date
17:06actually tonight.
17:09See?
17:10We're both
17:10recommitted
17:11to working
17:11on our marriage.
17:13It's great.
17:15I know.
17:15But, um,
17:18where does
17:18Jordan
17:19been all this?
17:20I have
17:24spent my life
17:25working in
17:26public service
17:26and now suddenly
17:28I'm in the
17:29private sector
17:29making really
17:30good money
17:31for the first
17:31time ever.
17:33Yeah.
17:33I'm happy for you.
17:34You certainly
17:35have spent a lot
17:36of time
17:36in the civil
17:37servant trenches.
17:39Yeah,
17:39it just
17:39feels really good
17:41to finally be able
17:42to treat myself.
17:43You know?
17:43You should.
17:44You deserve it.
17:47So this job
17:48with Sidwell
17:48is kind of
17:50paying off
17:50more than
17:51you anticipated?
17:52Uh,
17:53honestly,
17:54this job
17:55took me
17:56for a complete
17:56surprise.
17:57Nothing
17:58is what I expected.
18:00Including
18:00Sidwell.
18:02When I
18:03took the job,
18:05my mission
18:05was cut and dry.
18:07Standard
18:07undercover
18:08op,
18:09unofficial
18:09but still.
18:10I had three
18:11gets.
18:12Get close
18:12to Sidwell,
18:13get inside
18:14his organization,
18:15get evidence.
18:16That was the plan.
18:17Has the plan
18:18changed?
18:21Hey.
18:23Are you
18:24snubbing me?
18:25And I
18:26didn't think
18:27it was a good
18:27idea to talk
18:28in public,
18:29you know,
18:29between
18:29Ezra Boyle,
18:31Drew Cain,
18:32A.D.A.
18:32Turner.
18:33We don't
18:34have the best
18:35audience.
18:37When
18:37are you
18:38going to
18:38accept that
18:39I don't
18:40care
18:40who sees
18:41me
18:41with you
18:42in public?
18:44Maybe
18:44you should.
18:47Look,
18:47if I
18:49were to
18:49disavow you
18:50now
18:50without a
18:51prosecutable
18:52reason,
18:53it would look
18:54performative
18:54and it
18:55would be
18:56and everyone
18:57would know
18:57that.
18:59Maybe
18:59you're right.
19:00I'm right.
19:02But you know
19:03something,
19:03I will
19:04ask this.
19:05is it
19:08true
19:08what
19:08happened
19:09to
19:09Marco
19:10Rios?
19:12I'm
19:12going to
19:12be
19:12leaning
19:12on you
19:13more
19:13once
19:13Scout
19:14and I
19:14moved
19:14to
19:14D.C.
19:15Okay.
19:17Society's
19:17seen my
19:17role as
19:17your
19:18congressional
19:18intern
19:18changing.
19:19well,
19:22I'm
19:23going to
19:23need you
19:23to be
19:23my eyes
19:24and ears
19:25in Port
19:25Charles.
19:26I need
19:26to know
19:26what's
19:27happening
19:27in my
19:27district.
19:29So,
19:29like,
19:30politically
19:30speaking,
19:31everything.
19:34Loyalty
19:35is important.
19:36You get
19:37no argument
19:37from me
19:38there.
19:39But I
19:39think you'll
19:40find that
19:40sometimes
19:41we put
19:41our faith
19:42and loyalty
19:43in the
19:43wrong
19:44people.
19:45And you
19:46think I
19:46did that
19:46with Kai?
19:47No,
19:47no.
19:48I think
19:49Kai did
19:49that with
19:50Drew.
19:51Kai was
19:51trying to
19:52balance
19:53his
19:53principles
19:53and
19:54personal
19:55integrity
19:55with his
19:56feelings
19:56for you
19:57and
19:58the fact
19:58that he
19:58feels
19:59some
19:59loyalty
20:00to Drew,
20:00it just
20:01pushed him
20:02over the
20:02wrong way.
20:05Maybe.
20:07Haven't
20:08you ever
20:08failed,
20:08sweetheart?
20:09Of course.
20:11But I
20:11have never
20:12went back
20:13on my
20:13word.
20:14And I've
20:15never heard
20:15someone that
20:16I cared
20:16about.
20:18You remind
20:19me of
20:19your father.
20:20I love
20:21my nephew,
20:22but the
20:22man can
20:23be rigid.
20:25You think
20:26I'm being
20:26rigid like
20:26my dad?
20:28I think
20:30things get
20:31easier when
20:32it's black
20:32and white,
20:33but unfortunately
20:34most things
20:35aren't.
20:36Feelings
20:36aren't.
20:37Especially
20:38love.
20:40Kai said
20:41he loved
20:41me.
20:43Right after
20:44he confessed
20:44everything about
20:45Drew.
20:47I see.
20:48Well,
20:49do you
20:50believe
20:50markle
20:54rails?
20:55I didn't,
20:56you know,
20:57look,
20:57I've been
20:59navigating a
21:00very complicated
21:01situation.
21:02Meaning
21:02what?
21:03I didn't
21:03want anything
21:04that I do
21:05to blow
21:05back on
21:06you.
21:07And what
21:07Drew
21:08Kane,
21:09A.D.
21:10Turner,
21:10and Sid
21:11will want
21:12is for me
21:12to look
21:13bad.
21:14That way
21:14you look
21:15worse.
21:16And I'm
21:17trying everything
21:17I can
21:18to make
21:19sure that
21:19doesn't
21:20happen.
21:21You mean
21:21Sonny,
21:21you're
21:22sacrificing
21:23your own
21:23security
21:24and safety
21:24for me?
21:27To what,
21:28Sonny?
21:28To protect
21:29my position
21:30as the
21:31mayor?
21:31I would
21:32definitely
21:33take you
21:34into account.
21:35You know
21:36what,
21:36Sonny?
21:38Maybe
21:39I'm the
21:39problem
21:39then.
21:42Kai is
21:43honest
21:43to a
21:44fault.
21:45So when
21:46he says
21:46he loves
21:47me,
21:47yes,
21:51I believe
21:52him.
21:55But I
21:56don't think
21:56that matters.
21:57Of course
21:58it matters,
21:59baby.
22:00You and Kai
22:01are two
22:01remarkable
22:02people.
22:04And it'd
22:04be a shame
22:05to let
22:06go of
22:07something
22:07good.
22:10Especially
22:10when it's
22:11standing right
22:12in front
22:13of you.
22:13glad things
22:19are going
22:19great with
22:20you and
22:20Portia,
22:20I'm just
22:21not really
22:21sure how
22:22I helped
22:22with that.
22:24Well,
22:24you refused
22:25to accept
22:25my resignation
22:26from Aurora.
22:27That was
22:27one.
22:28Number
22:28two,
22:29you encouraged
22:30me not to
22:30let Drew
22:31cost me
22:31my marriage.
22:32Drew's
22:33taking a lot
22:34of weight
22:34from all
22:35of us.
22:36We shouldn't
22:36let him
22:37take
22:37any more.
22:38Fortunately,
22:39things with
22:39Drew
22:39have calmed
22:40down.
22:42I mean,
22:42we've even
22:43called a
22:45tentative
22:45truce.
22:47Aren't we
22:47sure it's not
22:47the trap?
22:47believe me,
22:49I'm proceeding
22:50with caution.
22:51But really,
22:51I wanted to
22:52take this
22:52time to
22:52thank you
22:53for your
22:53support
22:53while I
22:55maneuvered
22:56Portia
22:56out of
22:57things.
22:58Anytime.
23:00I consider
23:00you a
23:01friend,
23:01Curtis.
23:02You coming
23:03out of
23:03this on
23:03top,
23:04that's
23:05its own
23:05victory.
23:07The plan
23:07is the
23:08plan,
23:09but I
23:10need to
23:10regroup.
23:12Why?
23:12What
23:12happened?
23:13Nothing.
23:14That's the
23:14problem.
23:15I haven't
23:16found a
23:16damn thing.
23:17Not even
23:17a whiff
23:18of anything
23:18illegal.
23:20From what
23:20I've seen,
23:21Sidwell's
23:22business here
23:22is legitimate.
23:23And if it
23:24is legitimate
23:25and I'm
23:26enjoying the
23:27work,
23:28why not
23:28enjoy getting
23:29paid for it?
23:29No,
23:30I am
23:31glad that
23:31you're
23:32enjoying it,
23:33but I
23:34would be
23:34remiss if I
23:35didn't remind
23:36you that
23:36Sidwell tried
23:37to have me
23:37and a number
23:38of other
23:38people killed
23:39in Africa,
23:40including
23:41your friend
23:41Dr. Gannon.
23:43Trust me,
23:44I haven't
23:44forgotten,
23:45but if I
23:46don't live
23:46the life I
23:47can afford
23:47now,
23:48that'll
23:48also tip
23:49him off.
23:51Yeah,
23:51that's
23:52true,
23:53but the
23:54longer you
23:55stay in
23:55this,
23:56the more
23:57seductive
23:57this lifestyle
23:58is.
23:59And then what
23:59happens when
24:00you do
24:00discover,
24:01Sidwell,
24:01doing something
24:02illegal or
24:03dangerous?
24:06Are you
24:06going to be
24:07able to give
24:07this up?
24:09And pull
24:09yourself out?
24:11It's so
24:12easy for
24:12people to
24:12look at
24:13your life
24:13from the
24:13outside and
24:14draw their
24:14own
24:14conclusions
24:15when they
24:16have no
24:16idea what
24:17you're
24:17actually
24:17going to.
24:18That's
24:19true.
24:19They
24:20don't.
24:22Is
24:22everything
24:22okay with
24:23you and
24:24Brooklyn?
24:25Yeah.
24:26Yeah,
24:26for the most
24:27part.
24:28We actually
24:28decided to
24:29pursue adoption.
24:31That's
24:32wonderful.
24:33You two
24:34will make
24:34the best
24:35parents.
24:36Any parent
24:37looking to
24:37place their
24:37child in a
24:38good home
24:39would choose
24:40you, too?
24:41I like to
24:42think so.
24:44Has
24:44someone passed
24:45on you in
24:46Brooklyn?
24:47The problem
24:48is that we
24:48haven't found
24:49a baby.
24:50The problem
24:51is we stopped
24:51looking.
24:52Why would
24:53you say that
24:53Gio would
24:54never, ever
24:54forgive you?
24:55Because Gio
24:56was there on
24:57the 4th of
24:58July when
24:58Lulu accused
24:59me of
25:00intentionally
25:00hurting Rocco
25:01to get back
25:02at her with
25:02that file.
25:03That is what
25:04my son thinks
25:04of me.
25:05Okay, but
25:05that, because
25:06he only knew
25:07half the story
25:08and he was
25:08already mad
25:09at you.
25:09No, Dante.
25:11Look, Gio
25:12may think
25:12that you
25:13are an
25:14overprotective
25:15jerk, but
25:15he knows
25:16that you're
25:16an overprotective
25:17jerk who
25:18desperately
25:18loves his
25:19son.
25:20And I
25:20don't think
25:20it's a huge
25:21reach for
25:21him to
25:22think that
25:22that kind
25:22of love
25:23could extend
25:23to him.
25:24Yeah, I
25:25want that,
25:26but for
25:26both of us.
25:27Gio sees
25:28me in the
25:28worst possible
25:29light.
25:30And if I
25:31am with you
25:31when you
25:31go to him,
25:32Dante, I
25:35don't want
25:36to be the
25:37reason that
25:37you don't
25:37build a
25:38relationship
25:38with your
25:39son.
25:40So go
25:41to him
25:41and change
25:44his perception
25:45of you.
25:45have you got
25:50your latest
25:50polling numbers?
25:51I have, I
25:52have, uh,
25:53looking good.
25:54Coming within
25:55five points of
25:56Laura.
25:57Really?
25:59One step
26:00closer to
26:00getting rid of
26:01Sonny.
26:02Yeah, look,
26:03um, you'll
26:05never get an
26:06argument from
26:06me about
26:08ridding the
26:08city of
26:09Sonny
26:09current,
26:09those, but
26:10why is this
26:10so personal
26:11for you?
26:12Well, Sonny
26:12and my
26:13brother Jason
26:13are inextricably
26:15linked.
26:15I mean,
26:15they're both
26:16dangerous and
26:18destructive and
26:19neither of them
26:20have ever been
26:20held to any
26:21account, not in
26:22the way they
26:22deserve to be.
26:24And that's
26:24going to end
26:25with me.
26:28Uh, yeah,
26:29hey, um,
26:30sorry, I gotta
26:30get this.
26:32Sure, yeah,
26:32that's what you
26:33gotta do.
26:39Drew, do you
26:41have a minute?
26:42ADA Lansing
26:43Davis, how
26:44are you?
26:45What can I do
26:45here for?
26:46I'm good.
26:47It's about
26:48scouts.
26:50You know
26:51that I have
26:52to do
26:52everything in
26:53my power
26:54to protect
26:55the city
26:55from organized
26:56crime.
26:58And you
26:58know
26:59that if
27:00you were
27:01caught up
27:02in that
27:02crossfire,
27:03I might
27:05not be able
27:05to protect
27:06you.
27:07And in
27:08the meantime?
27:10In the
27:10meantime,
27:11I know,
27:13poor Charles,
27:14I know
27:15that we
27:15are better
27:16off with
27:17you in
27:18power than
27:18Jen Sidwell.
27:20The most
27:21frustrating
27:21thing for me
27:22is that
27:23I can't
27:24just say
27:24that.
27:26Hi.
27:27Hi.
27:28I'm sorry.
27:29Oh,
27:29am I interrupting?
27:33Hey,
27:34Stella?
27:35Trina?
27:36Hi,
27:37Kai.
27:37Join us,
27:38please.
27:39We have
27:39more than
27:40enough room.
27:40Actually,
27:41why don't
27:43you two
27:43catch up?
27:44I need
27:46to get
27:46this book
27:46back to
27:47the library
27:47by tomorrow
27:48and I
27:49really want
27:49to finish
27:49it.
27:49I think so.
27:55That girl
27:56is nothing,
27:57is not
27:57stubborn.
27:58She can
27:59barely even
27:59look at me.
28:00She's hurt
28:01and with
28:02good reason.
28:02so I
28:07don't know
28:07how to
28:07fix things.
28:08Not that
28:09Trina will
28:09even let
28:10me.
28:11I think
28:11you can
28:12still win
28:12back her
28:12heart,
28:13but you're
28:14going to
28:15have to
28:15try a
28:15lot harder
28:16than this.
28:19Hey,
28:20Jim.
28:21Michael.
28:21It's
28:22going.
28:22A ton of
28:22swim lessons
28:23over there.
28:25That is
28:26a lot of
28:26splashing.
28:27Such a
28:28small person.
28:29She's
28:29very
28:30enthusiastic.
28:31Yeah.
28:33She talked
28:33to you
28:33about her
28:33birthday yet?
28:35That's not
28:35until next
28:35month,
28:36but Donna,
28:36she's a
28:37bit of a
28:38planner.
28:39I received
28:39my inviting
28:40person today.
28:41It'll be a
28:42little awkward
28:42because Brooklyn
28:44and Dante
28:45will be there,
28:46but I'd do
28:47anything for
28:48Donna.
28:49Pretty sure
28:49she knows
28:49it, too.
28:51Yeah,
28:51yeah,
28:51she definitely
28:52does.
28:55You know,
28:55Gio,
28:56it doesn't
28:57have to be
28:57awkward,
28:58Dante and
28:59Brooklyn.
29:01not if you
29:02don't make
29:03it that
29:03way.
29:11Portia,
29:12I owe you
29:13an apology.
29:15It wasn't my
29:15place to ask
29:16you about
29:16Jordan.
29:17I appreciate
29:18that,
29:18Isaiah,
29:18but I know
29:19you're just
29:20asking out of
29:21concern for
29:22me.
29:22I was,
29:23and thank
29:24you for
29:24understanding,
29:25and I'm
29:26glad things
29:26are looking
29:27up for you
29:27and your
29:27husband.
29:27Curtis and
29:29I are in
29:29a better
29:29place than
29:30we've been
29:30in a very
29:31long time.
29:33Jordan is
29:34not a
29:34consideration.
29:40Here I am
29:41at your
29:42service.
29:46Hey,
29:47Trina,
29:48you care to
29:49join me for
29:50some iced
29:50teas?
29:51Um,
29:51actually,
29:52I was just
29:52getting ready
29:53to leave.
29:54but thanks
30:02for offering.
30:08You know,
30:09Jordan made
30:09this whole
30:09big production
30:10about stepping
30:11back,
30:12and Curtis
30:13clearly took
30:14her word for
30:15it.
30:16So,
30:17whatever I
30:17think of
30:17her,
30:18what could
30:19have happened
30:19between them,
30:20it's over.
30:22Me and my
30:23husband are
30:23moving forward.
30:24Portia,
30:26I
30:26haven't seen
30:30you this
30:30happy,
30:31maybe,
30:32ever.
30:34It looks
30:35good on you.
30:37And you know
30:38what,
30:38it feels
30:38good,
30:39too.
30:41Right.
30:45Based on
30:45this report,
30:46and from
30:48the look
30:49of the
30:49place,
30:50you don't
30:51need my
30:51eye.
30:51even so,
30:53I'd
30:53appreciate it
30:55if you
30:55took a
30:56look around.
30:56No problem.
30:59I want you
30:59to inspect
31:00every inch
31:02of this
31:02place.
31:02I don't
31:06have a ton
31:06to say to
31:07Brooklyn
31:07or
31:07doctor.
31:10Yeah,
31:10I get it.
31:11I've
31:12rated my
31:12dad off
31:12more than
31:13once.
31:14But,
31:15I also
31:16figured out
31:16a way to
31:16forgive him.
31:18A few
31:19times.
31:20And
31:20his
31:20family,
31:22it's
31:22everything.
31:24If that's
31:26how you
31:27feel about
31:27parents and
31:28children sticking
31:28together,
31:30why won't
31:30you let
31:31Willow see
31:31her kids?
31:33The situation
31:34with Willow
31:34is very
31:35different,
31:37and hopefully
31:37temporary.
31:40Right.
31:41Well,
31:42you don't have
31:44to worry
31:44about me,
31:45I'm fine.
31:46Okay.
31:49But,
31:49do you want
31:50to feel
31:50this kind
31:50of,
31:51you know,
31:51fine
31:52forever?
31:53Because if
31:55not,
31:55you've got
31:55to move
31:56forward.
31:57And all
31:57that anger
31:58and pain,
32:00it will
32:00calcify and
32:01cripple you.
32:02Thanks for
32:02the advice.
32:04I'm good.
32:06No,
32:06you're not.
32:08And you
32:09won't be.
32:11I'll tell you
32:11change it.
32:13Given
32:13everything
32:14that's gone
32:14on with
32:15Gio,
32:15Brooklyn
32:15has decided
32:16that she
32:18doesn't want
32:18to adopt
32:18right now.
32:20And obviously
32:20I can't pursue
32:21this on my
32:21own.
32:22My wife
32:22has to be
32:22fully on
32:23board,
32:23so as
32:25of now
32:25we're putting
32:26everything on
32:27hold.
32:29I'm so
32:29sorry.
32:32I'm going
32:33to have a
32:33child so
32:34bad.
32:36And honestly,
32:37I'm starting
32:38to think that
32:38it's never
32:39going to
32:39happen.
32:42Not until
32:42everything gets
32:43figured out
32:43with Gio,
32:44if that's
32:45even possible.
32:47This whole
32:47situation,
32:48it's,
32:49it's
32:50unfathomable.
32:52I mean,
32:53you're
32:54mad at
32:54your mom
32:54and her
32:55mom
32:55and Lulu
32:56and Gio's
32:56mad at
32:57both of
32:57us and
32:58that's
32:58just
32:58today.
33:00We got
33:01to do
33:01something to
33:01change this
33:03whole thing
33:03up,
33:03you know?
33:05Yeah,
33:05you should
33:05do that,
33:06Dante.
33:07No,
33:07I don't
33:07want it
33:08to be
33:08just me.
33:09I want
33:09to do
33:09this,
33:10the three
33:10of us.
33:11What you
33:11want
33:12isn't
33:12possible.
33:13Not
33:13now,
33:13maybe
33:14never.
33:14look,
33:17you are
33:20Gio's
33:20mom.
33:22His
33:22mom.
33:25I mean,
33:25yeah,
33:25we made
33:26a mistake
33:27when we
33:27were stupid
33:28kids at
33:28camp,
33:28but we
33:31also created
33:31a beautiful
33:32son.
33:34I think
33:34we owe
33:35it to him
33:35to be his
33:35parents now,
33:38together.
33:39That's what
33:40you say.
33:41I think
33:42it's the
33:42only way
33:42for us
33:43to get
33:43past all
33:44this
33:44anger.
33:47You never
33:48used to be
33:48smart like
33:49this.
33:49What
33:49happened?
33:51I don't
33:51know.
33:52I messed
33:52up.
33:53Too many
33:53mistakes,
33:54you know?
33:56But I've
33:57lived,
33:57and I'm
33:59learning.
34:00So what
34:01do you
34:01say?
34:01You want
34:02to, uh,
34:03you want
34:05to give
34:05it a go?
34:08All right,
34:09Dante.
34:10We'll do it
34:11your way.
34:15Anna,
34:15thanks for
34:16meeting me.
34:16No, no,
34:17of course.
34:17Um, I,
34:18do you need
34:19another minute?
34:19No, no,
34:20no, no.
34:20No, we,
34:21Commissioner,
34:22um, I got
34:23something I
34:24gotta do
34:24anyway,
34:25so, um,
34:27it's good
34:27to see
34:28both of you
34:28always.
34:29You care?
34:30Here comes
34:31to dumb
34:31I just
34:32show.
34:33A.D.
34:34A.
34:34Turner,
34:35fancy meeting
34:36you here.
34:37Mr.
34:38Corimbas,
34:38you wouldn't
34:40happen to be
34:40following me,
34:41would you?
34:42No,
34:43my daughter's
34:43having a
34:44swimming lesson.
34:46Well,
34:47I'm glad I
34:47ran into you.
34:49I received
34:50a very
34:52expensive gift
34:53at my office
34:54this afternoon.
34:55Well,
34:55I'm not surprised,
34:56you know,
34:56people get very
34:57happy when
34:58justice is
34:59served.
35:00not everybody.
35:03Anyway,
35:04this particular
35:05gift didn't
35:06come with
35:06a signed
35:06card.
35:08That's
35:08very mysterious.
35:09Well,
35:10I know
35:10you didn't
35:11send it,
35:12because I've
35:13already explained
35:14to you that
35:14as a public
35:15official,
35:16I cannot
35:17and will
35:17not accept
35:18gifts.
35:19Yeah,
35:19you've said
35:20that a lot.
35:22And as
35:22you're a
35:23very intelligent
35:24man,
35:25I'm also
35:26confident that
35:27you wouldn't
35:27make the same
35:28mistake twice,
35:29because if
35:30you did,
35:31I would have
35:32to prosecute
35:33you for
35:33harassment,
35:34and I'd
35:36win.
35:37I advocated
35:38for Liesl
35:39Obrecht to
35:40have supervised
35:41visits with
35:42Rocco,
35:44and I don't
35:45know,
35:45I guess I was
35:46just kind of
35:46hoping that you
35:47would tell me
35:47that that was
35:48the right
35:48choice.
35:49I mean,
35:50Liesl,
35:51you know,
35:52she's evolved
35:52over the years,
35:53I suppose.
35:54I think she's,
35:55she has genuine
35:56regret about some
35:58of her past
35:58actions,
35:59I would say.
36:00But,
36:01well,
36:01she's a woman
36:02of extremes,
36:02you know,
36:03and I don't
36:04think she would
36:05ever hurt Rocco.
36:06I don't think
36:07so,
36:07no.
36:08But it's
36:09definitely better
36:10to be a friend
36:11of Liesl's
36:12than an enemy,
36:13do you know
36:13what I mean?
36:16I'm on to you,
36:17Mayor Collins.
36:18Oh,
36:18what is it
36:19now,
36:20Ezra?
36:21Your resolution
36:22to expand
36:23the library
36:23suddenly has
36:24enough votes
36:24to pass.
36:25really?
36:27Oh,
36:27that's wonderful
36:28news.
36:28Well,
36:28I guess the
36:29other councilmen
36:30saw the value
36:31in it.
36:31Very good.
36:32Congratulations.
36:33Thank you,
36:34Anna.
36:34And thank you,
36:36Ezra.
36:36I couldn't be
36:36happier that
36:37you were the
36:38one to deliver
36:39the news to me.
36:40How many
36:41councilmen did
36:42your pal
36:42Sonny Carinthos
36:43bribe to get
36:44that vote
36:45to go your way?
36:46You're kidding
36:47me.
36:47You think I got
36:48Sonny Carinthos
36:49to encourage
36:51the other
36:51councilmen to
36:52vote to expand
36:54the public law?
36:55Oh,
36:55that's a very
36:55serious accusation.
36:57I mean,
36:57I will get
36:57the PCPD
36:58right on it.
36:59Yeah.
37:01Okay.
37:02Okay.
37:02Laugh it up,
37:03but when you
37:04are finally exposed
37:05for protecting
37:06that common criminal,
37:07the mayor's office
37:07will be mine.
37:09And,
37:09Commissioner,
37:10firing you
37:11will be my
37:11first order of business.
37:17It's obvious
37:18that she misses
37:19her mother,
37:20and I think
37:21it's important
37:22that she has
37:23family around her.
37:24So,
37:25how can we
37:26make that happen?
37:27You mean
37:27after Scout
37:28and I move
37:28to D.C.?
37:29I understand
37:32that you need
37:33to maintain
37:33a presence there,
37:35but I'm worried
37:36about Scout.
37:37She's so young,
37:39and she's already
37:39lost so much,
37:41so I guess
37:42I'm just hoping
37:43that we can find
37:44a compromise
37:45that's best for her.
37:47Well,
37:47I really appreciate
37:48you coming to me,
37:49Molly.
37:49You're so reasonable
37:50and very level-headed.
37:52I wish you were
37:54the one that set
37:55the tone
37:55for this negotiation.
37:56Unfortunately,
37:57we're past that now.
37:59Oh,
37:59we don't have to be?
38:01The best thing
38:02for Scout right now
38:03is that she has
38:03a very good relationship
38:04with her father,
38:05and your mother
38:08is trying to
38:09undermine that.
38:10I'm sure that's
38:11overstating.
38:12I wish it were.
38:14But given the reality
38:16of our current situation,
38:18the very best thing
38:19to do is to move
38:20Scout to D.C.
38:21where she can have
38:21no contact
38:22with her grandmother
38:25or her aunts.
38:27On the next
38:32General Hospital,
38:33I could tell
38:33that there was
38:33something that you
38:34weren't telling me.
38:35You're scrubbed
38:35from the mission.
38:36Why are you helping
38:37a man you despise
38:38get what he wants?
38:39Trust me,
38:40I save the best for last.
38:41Doesn't mean
38:42that I need
38:42to leave it alone.
38:43I came here
38:44to tell you
38:44that I'm sorry.
38:45I'm sorry.
