00:00And you are?
00:02Someone who's been waiting quite a while to meet you.
00:06Well, make an appointment.
00:07Your timing is terrible, and this is private property.
00:10I'm just here to pay my respects.
00:14To who?
00:16Well, to Monica, of course.
00:19I'm sorry.
00:22I am her younger sister, Veronica Bard.
00:26But please just call me Ronnie.
00:30So, James, are the rumors really true?
00:37Did you and your classmates actually learn how to churn butter in school today?
00:41Yeah.
00:43So how does one churn butter?
00:47You put cream in the jar and you shake it really hard.
00:52Well, I can't wait to have some on my toast in the morning.
00:55It sounds delicious, doesn't it?
00:57It sounds to life.
00:57James, why don't you go to the counter and see what kind of dessert they have?
01:03Maybe we can take some home.
01:05Okay.
01:05He is not okay.
01:13I know.
01:14He misses his mom.
01:17And here we are, about to upend his life all over again.
01:21Nina?
01:22Your mess is sounded urgent.
01:23Is it James?
01:24Oh, do you have news about Mixi?
01:26No, no, no.
01:26But it does affect both of them.
01:30You know, actually, I can only handle it to just say this one.
01:33So let's just wait for Brent, okay?
01:36What's this?
01:39What's the big emergency?
01:40I can't just leave the ER.
01:42It's my first day back.
01:43Are you trying to get me fired?
01:44No.
01:44I'm trying to arrange a family reunion.
01:53How are you feeling?
01:54Any of you pain?
01:56No.
01:57No, I feel great.
01:58That's what we like to hear.
02:00I'm Nathan West.
02:01I should have introduced myself sooner.
02:05I'm Willow Tate.
02:07Your niece.
02:29Yep.
02:31Well, that is a turn of events.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Uh, thank you.
02:41Yeah, of course.
02:43I will follow up.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Yeah.
02:44You seem restless, Rick.
03:10I've got just the thing for that.
03:19Hey.
03:21I'm so sorry about Monica.
03:25She was truly one of a kind.
03:27Yeah, she was.
03:28I'm glad you're both here.
03:36Yeah, we would have been at the memorial, but we know it was a private service, so.
03:41But we're glad you invited us to come over.
03:43Anything you need, we're here.
03:45I appreciate that.
03:46Please, come in.
03:47Christina, Molly, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine.
03:56This is Jacinda.
03:58Nina.
03:58I'm not interested in your misguided
04:28attempt to orchestrate a reconciliation
04:30between Grisha and me.
04:32And Lisa, it's not a...
04:33Not that you asked, but I'm not interested either.
04:36So if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to lining up
04:38ER consultations for upset tummies
04:41and skinned knees.
04:41No, can you please, Bo, just stop.
04:46Stop.
04:47Something incredible
04:49has happened.
04:50And whatever you two are going through,
04:53you're going to need each other to get through this.
04:58It was a huge shock
05:09when I found out Nina was my mother.
05:11Yeah, I can relate.
05:14Finding out who my parents were
05:15turned my whole world upside down.
05:18Well, I'm alive today
05:19because of your mom.
05:20She actually gave me a bone marrow transplant.
05:23That's amazing.
05:24I'm glad she could come to him for you.
05:28Family's important.
05:30And now we're family.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Yeah, I like that.
05:35A new niece and...
05:37a son I've never met.
05:39How are we supposed to tell James
05:45that his father,
05:46a mythical figure
05:47that he's only known from pictures,
05:49is actually not dead
05:50and here in Port Charles?
05:54It's going to be hard for him to understand.
05:56I don't even understand it.
05:57I mean, there's a...
05:58there's a million questions in zeroes.
06:01Well, the DNA test,
06:03we have one answer.
06:04that man in the bed
06:06is Nathan
06:07and James has a right
06:09to know that his father is alive.
06:12Shouldn't his mother
06:13be here to help guide him
06:16through such a
06:16monumental transition?
06:20I know that you wish
06:21that Maxie was here.
06:24So do I.
06:27But she's not here right now,
06:28so we're going to have to step it up
06:31and be there
06:32for James.
06:33And we can do this together
06:35because Maxie would want James
06:38to know the truth.
06:41Now, now.
06:42I can't have you waking up.
06:45This will all be so much easier for you
06:47if you just take another nice,
06:49long nap.
06:52Open your mouth.
06:53Oh, oh, oh, oh,
06:54Dr. Xavis, please, just...
06:57just let me go.
06:58I will.
06:59I promise, just not today.
07:02Now open your mouth.
07:06There you go.
07:09Swallow it.
07:13Dad's a good boy.
07:16Hey.
07:19Haven't I always told you
07:21restraints can be so much fun?
07:24I didn't know you had company.
07:28We could have free schedule.
07:30Oh, no, it's okay.
07:31Just send her and just stop by
07:32to offer her condolences.
07:36That's so sweet.
07:37I lost my grandmother
07:39not too long ago,
07:40so I could guess
07:41how he was feeling.
07:43I just wanted to make sure
07:44Michael was holding up okay.
07:47Oh, do you run Charlie's?
07:49I think I've seen you there.
07:51Yeah, yep.
07:52Charlie's is my place.
07:54Oh, I was sorry
07:55to hear about the fire.
07:57Yeah, we're gonna be
07:58up and running again
07:59very soon.
08:01Well, that's great to hear.
08:03It's a fun place.
08:05So, how do you and Michael
08:07know each other?
08:09Oh, we cross paths
08:11out and about somewhere
08:12and we just hit it off.
08:15Sometimes you just
08:16click with people, you know?
08:19Yeah, I do.
08:21Michael, can I borrow you
08:23for just a second?
08:25Yeah, yeah, sure.
08:31So, you're Monica's
08:33little sister.
08:34The runt of the litter.
08:36Oh.
08:37You've heard of me?
08:39Not from Monica.
08:40I had her investigated
08:41before she married
08:42my brother Alan.
08:44Your name turned up.
08:46Do you mean
08:46that Monica never
08:47mentioned me?
08:48I mean, not once.
08:50Not a peep.
08:52Which tells me
08:52that she didn't want
08:53you in her life.
08:55So, why are you
08:57popping up now
08:58that she's dead?
09:00Do you usually
09:01welcome visitors
09:02with hostility?
09:04Oh.
09:05Just the ones
09:06that show up
09:06uninvited
09:07in the family crypt.
09:10Now, as far as I know,
09:11Monica has had
09:12no contact
09:13with you
09:13for decades.
09:15I think she probably
09:17had a reason
09:18for that.
09:20Well, you're right.
09:21Okay?
09:22Monica and I
09:22were estranged
09:23for a long time.
09:25And it's clear
09:26from her beautiful home
09:28and the land
09:29it's sitting on
09:30that
09:30we've led
09:32very different lives.
09:33but
09:34you are wrong
09:36about how things
09:39stood between
09:39my sister and me
09:40because
09:41everything changed
09:43well before she died.
09:48Nathan is alive.
09:52Are you
09:53are you certain
09:55of this?
09:56I know
09:56it's a shock
09:57especially
09:58I was in shock
10:02too.
10:03I was afraid
10:03to believe
10:04but Aunt Liesel
10:05they did a DNA test.
10:07I spoke to him
10:08myself.
10:10Your son.
10:14Your brother.
10:17He is so hot.
10:18Well
10:20where we see you?
10:24I need to see
10:25my son.
10:25Yeah, don't worry.
10:26He's fine.
10:27I'll take you to him.
10:28Come on.
10:29Come on.
10:30Come on.
10:39Are you
10:40on a date
10:41the day
10:41of your grandmother's funeral?
10:43Jacinda
10:43just stopped by
10:44to offer her condolences.
10:46I'll bet.
10:46You know
10:47who she is,
10:48right?
10:49What do you mean?
10:50What do you mean
10:50what do I mean?
10:52Jacinda
10:52is the escort
10:53who was with Drew
10:55the night
10:55of his ketamine
10:56bender.
10:57She's all over
10:58the news.
10:58Yeah,
10:59it was one night
10:59and it was obviously
11:00just business.
11:01Business?
11:03Okay,
11:03so what's her business
11:04with you then?
11:05I told you
11:05she's my friend.
11:08Well,
11:08she may be
11:09your friend
11:09but you might
11:10be her next mark.
11:11Chrissy,
11:12I got this
11:13under control.
11:14Okay?
11:15Whatever you say.
11:17I'm just
11:18looking out for you.
11:22So,
11:22your sister
11:23owns Charlie's.
11:25What do you do?
11:26I'm a prosecutor,
11:28an assistant
11:28district attorney.
11:30Wow,
11:31that sounds
11:32interesting.
11:33Yeah,
11:34it has its days.
11:36Um,
11:36sorry,
11:37are you
11:38and Michael
11:38dating?
11:40We're getting
11:40to know each other.
11:43That
11:43sounds
11:45great.
11:46Molly,
11:50I think we should
11:51head out.
11:52Let Michael
11:52and Jacinda
11:53enjoy their tea.
11:55Sounds good.
11:56It was so nice
11:57meeting you.
11:57You too.
11:58I'm going to need
12:05a full recap
12:06of Tracy
12:07throwing Drew
12:08out of
12:08Monica's memorial.
12:10Tracy went
12:10full Tracy
12:11in honor of Monica.
12:12No one's
12:13going to forget it.
12:14Anyway,
12:15I appreciate you
12:15to come check on me.
12:17Love you.
12:18Love you.
12:18Love you.
12:22Bye,
12:22Michael.
12:23Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:23Bye.
12:24Bye.
12:24Bye.
12:25Bye.
12:25Bye.
12:27I'm not sure
12:41they bought it.
12:42By all means,
12:45regale me with stories
12:46of how you and Monica
12:47conveniently reunited
12:49in the sunset of her life
12:50without my knowledge.
12:52Well,
12:53it's simple.
12:54Monica wrote me a letter.
12:56Of course she did.
12:58Trust me,
12:58no one was more surprised
13:00than me
13:01because she had never
13:03reached out in the past,
13:04you know,
13:05even though I was
13:06really easy to find.
13:08You know,
13:09I just assumed
13:11she had no interest.
13:13And what,
13:14pray tell,
13:15sparked this
13:16renewed interest?
13:17I think
13:19as we grow older
13:21and face
13:22our mortality,
13:25regrets
13:26loom large.
13:29Mine you can see
13:30from space.
13:31And yours?
13:33So Monica wrote you
13:34a letter.
13:35I assume you wrote back?
13:37Well,
13:38of course I did.
13:39We've been writing
13:40back and forth
13:40to each other
13:41past year or so.
13:43Oh,
13:44I'd like to see
13:44proof of that.
13:45You want to see
13:49the private letters
13:50that I exchanged
13:51with my sister?
13:52I don't know you.
13:56But I know
13:57Monica's handwriting
13:58anywhere.
14:00I also know
14:01that you haven't
14:02darkened
14:03her doorstep
14:04in over 50 years.
14:07And yet,
14:08as soon as you get
14:09wind of the fact
14:10that she's died,
14:11you're circling
14:12like a vulture.
14:15Why don't you
14:15tell me
14:16why you're
14:16really here?
14:26Did something
14:27happen to mom?
14:29Oh, no,
14:30sweetheart,
14:31absolutely not.
14:33I talked to your
14:33mom's doctors
14:34earlier,
14:35like I do
14:36every day,
14:37and they are
14:37taking excellent
14:38care of her.
14:39then what's
14:41wrong?
14:43You know,
14:44actually,
14:45James,
14:45your grandma
14:46and I
14:46have some
14:47good news
14:48to tell you.
14:50Um,
14:50there was a
14:54strange mistake,
14:56and your dad,
14:59Nathan,
14:59is alive.
15:02no,
15:04he's not.
15:05My dad's an
15:06angel,
15:06and he was
15:06in heaven.
15:15Nathan,
15:16I said,
15:21it's for you.
15:23I hate to tell you
15:40this,
15:41but you are
15:43missing out
15:43on an awful
15:44lot of billable
15:45hours.
15:47What,
15:47with Drew
15:48getting himself
15:48shot,
15:49and half the town
15:50being investigated
15:51by the PCPD?
15:53Drew got shot.
15:56Is he alive?
15:57Oh,
15:58yeah.
15:59And from what
16:00I hear,
16:00Willow,
16:01one of your
16:01many unfortunate
16:02clients,
16:03is a prime
16:04suspect.
16:05Hey,
16:06you gotta stop
16:06this.
16:07I already
16:08said I would,
16:10just not right
16:10now.
16:11No.
16:12It didn't
16:13have to be
16:14this way,
16:14you know.
16:16You and I,
16:17we had a real
16:19good thing going,
16:19and I think
16:21we're cut
16:22from the same
16:23claw,
16:24don't you?
16:25But,
16:26I guess the
16:27heart wants
16:28what it wants,
16:31and yours
16:31wanted
16:32Elizabeth,
16:35the Ferris
16:36maiden
16:37in all
16:38of poor
16:38Charles,
16:40which allowed
16:41Christina to
16:42play you for
16:43the fool you
16:43are,
16:44but the reason
16:44you are here
16:45is because
16:47you got greedy.
16:48so did
16:49you.
16:50Come on.
16:52I deserved
16:53every penny
16:53of that money.
16:56Hey,
16:57no,
16:57no,
16:57no,
16:57no,
16:58don't,
16:58don't fall
16:59asleep just yet,
17:00okay,
17:00because I want
17:01you to remember
17:01this.
17:03In ten days,
17:04all the money
17:05you stole
17:06is gonna be
17:06right back
17:07where it belongs,
17:09in the
17:09Casadine estate,
17:11minus my
17:12substantial
17:13divorce settlement,
17:14of course.
17:14but you
17:16should cheer
17:17up,
17:18because by
17:18the time
17:19you're able
17:19to form
17:20a coherent
17:21thought again,
17:23this will
17:23all be over.
17:32See you
17:33time.
17:38I can see
17:40that you are
17:40grieving too,
17:41which is why
17:42I'm trying to
17:43be polite,
17:44but you have
17:46just stepped
17:46up to a line
17:47that no decent
17:48person would
17:49cross.
17:51You're the one
17:52who showed up
17:53unannounced
17:54and uninvited
17:55to a private
17:56memorial,
17:57probably asking
17:58for a handout.
18:01I don't want
18:02a thing
18:03from you
18:03or from
18:05my sister.
18:06I get along
18:07just fine.
18:09I can see.
18:12Look,
18:13I read in the
18:14paper that
18:14Monica had
18:15died.
18:16I knew
18:17that her
18:17funeral was
18:19private,
18:20so I came
18:20here instead
18:21to pay
18:22my respects.
18:25The select
18:26invitees
18:27were people
18:29who were
18:29close
18:30to Monica.
18:32Her family,
18:33her friends,
18:35respected
18:36colleagues
18:36of which
18:37you
18:38are
18:38none.
18:41You know,
18:43whatever you
18:44came here
18:44for,
18:45you're not
18:45going to get
18:46it.
18:46So why
18:47don't you
18:47sneak out
18:49the way
18:50you snuck
18:50in?
18:52Sneak?
18:54Sneak in?
18:55Gates were
18:56wide open.
18:56I'll have
18:57that fixed.
18:58You know,
19:00Monica wrote
19:01to me a
19:02lot about
19:03her family.
19:05Her son,
19:06Jason,
19:06her grandson,
19:07Michael,
19:08other
19:08grandchildren
19:09and great
19:10grandchildren.
19:11I would
19:11like to
19:12meet them
19:13and extend
19:14my condolences
19:15because,
19:16I mean,
19:16they're my
19:16family.
19:17No,
19:17they're not.
19:18They're nothing
19:18to you.
19:20And you
19:21are nothing
19:22to them.
19:23you've been
19:30restored to
19:31me.
19:33But,
19:33Leven,
19:34where have
19:35you been?
19:37I wish I
19:37knew.
19:39The last thing
19:39I remember
19:40is being
19:40shot by
19:40Faison.
19:43You were
19:43found on
19:44the road
19:45in the car
19:45that had
19:46crashed.
19:47Were you
19:47trying to
19:49escape from
19:49someone?
19:51I would
19:52tell you
19:52if I knew
19:52I could
19:53I really
19:53don't know
19:54I'm sorry.
19:56But I do
19:57know Maxi
19:58and I have
19:59a son.
20:01And I
20:01want to
20:01meet him
20:01as soon
20:02as possible.
20:05That's
20:06right,
20:06James.
20:07We did
20:07believe he
20:08was in
20:08heaven.
20:09But it
20:10turns out
20:11we were
20:12wrong.
20:13And he's
20:14actually here
20:15in Port
20:16Charles.
20:18I have
20:19seen him
20:19with my
20:20own two
20:20eyes.
20:21I have
20:21even spoken
20:22to him.
20:23he is
20:23in
20:23general
20:24hospital
20:24right
20:25now.
20:26Is he
20:26hurt?
20:27Oh,
20:28no,
20:29no.
20:30No,
20:30he was
20:30in an
20:31accident,
20:32but he's
20:32okay.
20:34He just
20:34doesn't remember
20:35where he's
20:36been.
20:37Does he
20:37remember
20:37me?
20:39Well,
20:39that's the
20:40thing.
20:41The two
20:41of you
20:41have never
20:42actually
20:43met.
20:44You
20:45were born
20:46after he
20:47went away.
20:50I guess
20:50that's why
20:51I don't
20:51really know
20:51my dad.
20:54Except
20:54Ron's
20:55told me
20:56what I've
20:56seen in
20:57pictures.
20:58That's
20:58right.
20:59You know,
20:59and we
21:00know this
21:00is a lot
21:01for you
21:01to find
21:02out.
21:02And it
21:02is for
21:03us,
21:03too.
21:05But we're
21:06all in
21:06this together.
21:07So,
21:09and it's
21:09okay if
21:10you're not
21:10quite ready.
21:12You don't
21:12have to meet
21:13him until
21:13you want
21:14too.
21:23I can
21:24safely say
21:25that coming
21:25home to
21:26you will
21:26never be
21:27anything but
21:27disconcerting.
21:29Well,
21:29luckily for
21:30us,
21:30this will
21:31all be
21:31over soon
21:32and we
21:32can go
21:33back to
21:33pretending
21:33we don't
21:34see each
21:34other when
21:34we pass
21:35on the
21:35street.
21:36How's
21:36Rick?
21:37He's
21:37okay.
21:38I just
21:38gave him
21:38a sedative.
21:39He ought
21:39to be
21:39sleeping
21:39like a
21:40baby.
21:40How'd
21:41it go
21:41with
21:41Anna?
21:42I
21:42don't
21:42know
21:43they
21:43canceled
21:43the
21:43appointment.
21:44What?
21:46I don't
21:46know that
21:46either.
21:48They
21:48didn't
21:48reschedule
21:49so I'm
21:49taking that
21:50as a
21:50win,
21:50at least
21:50for now.
21:51Right.
21:52Yeah,
21:52so you
21:53think you're
21:53in the
21:53clear then?
21:54Because we
21:54can't have
21:55the cops
21:55sniffing
21:55around
21:55here.
21:56I'm
21:57being
21:57cautiously
21:58optimistic
21:58and you're
22:00certainly
22:00right.
22:01We can't
22:01have the
22:01PCPD
22:02know that
22:02I've
22:03got my
22:03ex-husband
22:03locked up
22:04in my
22:04basement.
22:06Ten
22:07more
22:07days.
22:08We
22:08just have
22:08to endure
22:09this
22:09nightmare
22:10for ten
22:11more
22:11days and
22:12all the
22:12money Rick
22:13stole.
22:13We'll be
22:13right back
22:14where it
22:14belongs and
22:15you and
22:15I can
22:17wash our
22:17hands of
22:18each other
22:18permanently.
22:18We'll be
22:20next.
22:21We'll be
22:23I don't know.
22:53Hi, Justine. Great, um, I've got something that is really going to interest you.
23:00How did your questioning with Alexis Davis go?
23:02Uh, I cancelled.
23:03So she's no longer a suspect?
23:04No, no, I don't want to rule her out as a suspect, but the ballistics report came back and it's pointing us elsewhere.
23:13Let me guess. Sonny Corinthos.
23:17Actually, no. The strike marks on the bullet, they match to an earlier crime and suggest a highly unlikely suspect.
23:31Who?
23:32It's a dead man. Um, namely Edward Quartermain.
23:40Wow. You just jump right in and make assumptions about my character, even though, as you just made very clear, you don't know me.
23:50I don't want to know you.
23:52Maybe you should. Because from where I stand, you didn't know Monica as well as you think you did.
24:01Monica did not mention your name once in the 45 years that I knew her.
24:07Not hard to connect the dots.
24:09She didn't want anything to do with you, and I intend to honor her by following suit.
24:18You know what? You are everything she said you were. And that's not a compliment.
24:23Oh, I already know that, because unlike you, I had a relationship with her.
24:28Oh. Well, weren't you lucky then?
24:30My sister and I were separated as children and raised in the foster care system. Did you know that?
24:39I knew her foster mother, Gail Baldwin.
24:43Well, good for you. I never had the pleasure.
24:47Look, what I'm trying to tell you is that Monica and I were estranged due to circumstance, not choice.
24:55We didn't get to grow up together as sisters.
24:58And when I finally found her again, we were already both young women starting our lives.
25:09She was married to her first husband and in the middle of her medical internship and building a life that was a far cry from the past we had shared.
25:23And that was a past she wanted nothing to do with.
25:30So, there was no room in her life for me.
25:35And I took that hard.
25:39You know, I said things that, oh God, I regret.
25:45And so did she.
25:47And that led to a 50-year estrangement.
25:51Well, life takes people in different directions, doesn't it?
25:54You know, Monica was forging her own path, and I was quite determined to do the same.
25:59My life may have had very different trappings, but I am proud of it.
26:06Nonetheless, I never asked or needed my sister for anything, and I never did.
26:14That is a very compelling story, and I don't believe a word of it.
26:23This situation with Drew has been very enlightening.
26:30How so?
26:31Because his behavior was so extreme that it pushed someone else to an extreme, and he got shot.
26:37But this whole mess we're in right now is because you and Christina have gone to an extreme.
26:45Do you mean when she tried to kill me?
26:48I mean that we have Rick tied up in my basement because of an eye for an eye vendetta that the two of you can't get over.
26:56And it's going to destroy all of us, and it's going to end, all right?
27:00So we're going to put the money back where it belongs.
27:02Including the divorce settlement, which belongs in my pocket.
27:04Fine. Then we will push reset. We're going to put all of this in the past.
27:09All of us.
27:11Well, I'm willing to do that.
27:13And it seems like you and Christina are willing to do that.
27:16But the one person who might not be so amenable is Rick.
27:21Rick doesn't have a choice because we all committed crimes.
27:25If we go down, he goes down.
27:28Lex, it's the guy who's been bludgeoned, drugged, trussed up.
27:31Well, he's being held captive by the ex-wife he hates, the niece he hates even more, and the ex-lover he is probably pretty displeased with.
27:40I know, Rick.
27:42He will get upset, he will kick and scream and feel thwarted, but then he will lick his wounds and he will get over it.
27:48He'll be fine.
27:49I don't know.
27:50I don't know.
28:20Right, and Tracy was the first on the scene.
28:23She discovered Drew, called it in.
28:27She despises him.
28:28Yeah.
28:28Okay.
28:29But if she wanted him dead, he would probably be dead.
28:34And Michael?
28:38And Drew destroyed his family and was actively working to take away his children.
28:44He had access to the gun and plenty of motive.
28:47Let's just say, just because it could have happened, doesn't mean that it did.
28:52Now, with these suspects, is there anyone that we can rule out?
28:59Carly Spencer.
29:01She's got an alibi.
29:03And WSB Station Chief Jack Brennan.
29:05Yeah, but Jack would lie for her in a heartbeat.
29:09So Carly does have children and grandchildren at the estate.
29:13So yes, she does have access.
29:15And I did read in her file that she once shot a man point blank in court.
29:20Because he kidnapped Michael when he was a child.
29:23So, okay, yes, she would definitely kill to protect her children.
29:27So we can't rule her out.
29:32What about Curtis Ashford?
29:34He and Drew have been at each other's throats for almost a year.
29:37And Curtis holds Drew completely responsible for the arrest of his aunt, Stella Henry, for some kind of insurance fraud.
29:46Maybe, uh, Curtis reached his breaking point.
29:51He is an ex-cop.
29:53He could stage a crime scene and cover his tracks.
29:58What about Nina Reeves and Willow Tate?
30:02I mean, they're each other's halifuts.
30:05That is one complex relationship.
30:07Made even more complex by the fact that they were both sleeping with Drew at the same time, unbeknownst to Willow.
30:17Maybe they both wanted revenge and were in on it together.
30:23Hi.
30:28I, um, just wanted to thank you for treating Jay.
30:33Jay?
30:34Oh, I'm Nathan.
30:35Sorry.
30:35Yeah.
30:36Um, April.
30:37Right.
30:37Jay.
30:38For James.
30:39James is named after his father.
30:42James Nathan West.
30:43Yeah.
30:44I can't believe it.
30:46Only still gets to have her son back.
30:52You know, Willow, with all this, like, can we just call it truth?
30:56No.
30:56That's not gonna happen.
30:58I'm happy your brother is back.
31:00It changes nothing between us.
31:02You lied to me and manipulated me, and I don't want anything to do with you.
31:08Okay.
31:10Okay.
31:11You can hate me all you want.
31:16But the reality is, we need each other.
31:20Because we're each other's alibi.
31:26Okay.
31:26Are we gonna talk about what just happened at the quarter mains?
31:30What do you mean?
31:31Come on, Christina.
31:33Michael invites us over after Monica's funeral and just happens to be entertaining the escort
31:38who's a part of his alibi the night of Drew's shooting?
31:41That was a setup.
31:42I'm not sure how much I shored up your alibi, but it was worth a try, and being here gives
31:51me a chance to tell you that I really am sorry for your loss.
31:56Thank you, and I appreciate you trying to help today.
31:59No problem.
32:03It was pretty calculated, though.
32:06Most people would be too caught up in mourning to make a move like that.
32:09I think your grandmother would approve?
32:15I hope so.
32:16Well, you know, I didn't come to Port Charles to convince you or anyone of anything.
32:24I came to honor my sister, who I really wish I had reconnected with sooner.
32:34Monica Bard may have been your sister.
32:39But the little girl you remember grew up to be Dr. Monica Quartermain.
32:45She was a skilled surgeon.
32:48She was a pillar of her community.
32:52Too busy helping others to bother to look back.
32:57So you hear me when I tell you, Ronnie,
33:01there is no room for you in her family's future.
33:07You don't need you at all.
33:14You need me.
33:15You're the one who doesn't actually have an alibi.
33:17You're the one with the history of violence.
33:20Drew used you for sex and threw you away.
33:22That's a damn good reason to shoot someone.
33:25Well, if it comes down to it, I hope that's what the police believe.
33:29Because Drew was instrumental in you losing your children.
33:35Which is a damn good reason to shoot someone, too.
33:41Tell me about my son.
33:43What's he like?
33:44Nathan, he's a magnificent, intelligent, strong boy.
33:49You should see him throw an axe.
33:51Mother, we should go.
33:55Nathan's suffered a head trauma and needs rest.
33:59Being with beloved family can be equally important for healing.
34:03But first, rest.
34:04You and I are both doctors.
34:05You know I'm right.
34:06As much as I hate to say it, your sister is correct.
34:10I should leave.
34:11Rita?
34:19Surely you're not going to walk out on your newly returned brother without so much as a hug?
34:25Right.
34:26Sorry.
34:33Welcome back.
34:41Michael is going through a difficult time, and he is seeking comfort from a woman he's seeing.
35:05Seeing?
35:06Yes.
35:07Seeing.
35:08Are you hung up on what Jacinda does for a living?
35:11Because this isn't the first sex worker Michael has dated.
35:14He's not judgmental.
35:15He likes who he likes.
35:16You shouldn't shame him.
35:17I'm not shaming him.
35:18This isn't about that.
35:20It's about a run-in with Jacinda that Michael orchestrated.
35:23Why would he do that?
35:25Because I work for the DA's office, and he wanted me to see them together.
35:30He's securing his alibi for the night of Drew's shooting.
35:33You think?
35:35I don't think.
35:36I know.
35:37I don't love that I had to stage this encounter with Molly and Christina on a day that should
35:43have been all about my grandmother.
35:45Well, I'm sure your grandmother loved you.
35:47And if she was half the woman you say she was, she'd want you to get out of this Drew
35:52situation clean, right?
35:54Yeah.
35:55Yeah, she would.
35:56Then I think she'd have no problem with you doing what you need to do, even today.
36:01Thanks.
36:05I just hope it was enough.
36:08Because you and I both know that if the cops are getting deeper into this, my alibi won't
36:14hold.
36:14So now that we have the ballistics report, I think that we should quietly secure a warrant
36:21to search the Quartermain estate.
36:23If word gets out and they realize that a Quartermain is the focus of our investigation, they will
36:29close ranks.
36:30And they will do whatever it takes to protect each other.
36:33You know, in her letters, Monica described you as aggressive and abrasive.
36:50You ain't seen nothing yet.
36:52She said that your abrasiveness came from your father, but that it was tempered by your mother's
37:00heart.
37:03She also said that your good intentions were masked by an armor of entitlement.
37:12Hmm.
37:13But her assessment, if you left out, how cold you are.
37:19The fact that Monica was waxing poetic about me just tells me that she was losing control
37:26of her faculties.
37:28I want you to leave.
37:31Oh, I'm leaving.
37:36Oh, yes.
37:42You know, Tracy, masks have a tendency to slip.
37:49And I suspect that you may not be entitled to everything you think you are.
37:56My sincere condolences on this very sad day.
37:59Okay, Suzanne, what do we have on the docket tomorrow?
38:11Oh, right.
38:16The reading of Monica Quartermain's will, that ought to go smoothly.
38:22Do me a favor, will you?
38:23Will you make some hard copies and leave them on my desk?
38:25On the next General Hospital.
38:31Do your job and stop trying to pin it on the obvious suspect.
38:34Do you really think Maxie would be okay with this?
38:37No, Lula.
38:37I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:41If you're so sure that I'm lying, go to the cops.
38:43I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:44I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:45I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:46I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:47I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:48I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:49I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:50I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:51I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
38:52I am not about to be scared off by Tracy Quartermain.
