00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to my General Hospital official channel. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
00:06Before we begin, please hit the subscribe button and give this video a thumbs up.
00:11The first light of a late October dawn crept over the Port Charles skyline,
00:15casting long, skeletal shadows that seemed to cling to the city's ornate cornices and modern glass facades.
00:20It was a light that promised little warmth, a pale, watery gold that did little to dispel the chill that had taken root not just in the air,
00:27but in the very hearts of the city's residents.
00:30Inside the sterile, humming confines of General Hospital, night had never truly ended.
00:36The fluorescent lights maintained their constant, indifferent vigil, illuminating corridors where hope and despair waged a silent, endless war.
00:44The events of the past weeks, the betrayals, the secrets, the near-fatal accidents, and the emotional implosions,
00:50had left an indelible mark on the place, making it feel less like a sanctuary of healing and more like a gilded cage for its inhabitants.
00:56On the fifth floor, in the private room where the air smelled of antiseptic and unspoken regrets,
01:02Carly Corinthos sat as she had for hours, a statue of maternal vigilance.
01:06Her chair was pulled so close to Jason Morgan's bedside that the metal frame pressed a permanent line into the fabric of her jeans.
01:13One of her hands was wrapped around his, her fingers tracing the familiar, calloused ridges of his knuckles,
01:19while the other lay resting on the crisp white sheet.
01:22The steady, mechanical beep of the heart monitor was the only sound,
01:25a metronome counting down the seconds of his unconsciousness.
01:29His face was a landscape of bruises and healing lacerations, pale beneath the tapestry of his injuries.
01:36The doctors had assured her the worst was over, that the swelling in his brain had receded, that his vital signs were strong.
01:43But the Jason they spoke of was a collection of data points and charts.
01:47The Jason she knew, the man of few words and unshakable loyalty, the anchor in the storm of her life, remained frustratingly out of reach.
01:54She leaned forward, her voice a hushed, fervent whisper meant for him alone.
01:59You have to fight, Jason.
02:02Do you hear me?
02:04You have to come back to us.
02:07To me.
02:08Jocelyn asks about you every day.
02:11She's trying to be strong, but I see the fear in her eyes.
02:15And Michael, he's holding down the fort at the company, but he needs your guidance.
02:20We all do.
02:21She swallowed hard, the motion painful in her dry throat.
02:26This city is falling apart without you.
02:29I'm falling apart.
02:31A single tear escaped, tracing a hot path down her cheek before she brushed it away with an impatient hand.
02:37She wouldn't break.
02:39Not here, not now.
02:42Strength was the only currency she had left, and she would spend every last bit of it to will him back to consciousness.
02:47The memory of the accident replayed in her mind on a torturous loop, the screech of tires, the shattering of glass, the awful, final silence.
02:56Someone had done this.
02:59Someone had tried to take him from her.
03:01And when he woke up, when he was strong enough, she would make sure that someone paid.
03:05Across the hall, in another room where the atmosphere was thick with a different kind of tension, Elizabeth Weber was finishing her shift.
03:14Her body ached with a fatigue that went deeper than bone, a weariness of the spirit.
03:19She had spent the night juggling the needs of several critical patients, her professional mask firmly in place, but her focus had been perpetually divided, a portion of her attention always tethered to the room across the hall.
03:30As she updated a chart on a computer at the nurse's station, she allowed her gaze to drift toward Carly's vigil.
03:37A complex knot of emotions tightened in her chest, sympathy for a woman watching over a man she loved, a residual and painful affection for Jason that years had not fully erased, and a simmering resentment toward Carly's proprietary air.
03:49She remembered a time when it was her sitting in that chair, her voice willing Jason back to life.
03:54The past was a ghost in this hospital, and it never seemed to stay buried for long.
04:00Her thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Hamilton Finn.
04:04He looked as tired as she felt, his lab coat rumpled, his eyes shadowed with concern that was both professional and deeply personal.
04:11Liz, he said softly, coming to stand beside her.
04:15You look exhausted.
04:17You should go home.
04:19Get some rest.
04:20Elizabeth offered him a faint, weary smile.
04:25I will.
04:26Just, finishing up.
04:29How is he?
04:31She didn't need to specify who.
04:33Stable.
04:35Stronger than the charts indicate, I suspect.
04:38It's just a matter of time now.
04:41Finn followed her gaze to Jason's door.
04:44Carly hasn't left his side.
04:47She's going to run herself into the ground.
04:49She loves him, Elizabeth said simply, though the words felt inadequate to describe the decades-long, tumultuous bond between Carly and Jason.
04:58I know, Finn replied, his voice gentle.
05:01But so do you.
05:04In your own way.
05:06He paused, choosing his next words carefully.
05:09The investigation into the accident, it's hitting a lot of dead ends.
05:13Scott Baldwin is frustrated.
05:16He thinks there's a cover-up, that someone with significant power is pulling strings to make the evidence disappear.
05:23Elizabeth's blood ran cold.
05:25You think it was deliberate?
05:28Not just an accident?
05:30The tire marks, the forensics on Jason's car, it's pointing that way.
05:35Finn's expression was grim.
05:36And in this town, when someone of Jason Morgan's stature is targeted, it's never just about a traffic violation.
05:44It's a declaration of war.
05:46The words hung in the air between them, heavy and ominous.
05:50A declaration of war.
05:53Elizabeth felt a shiver of dread.
05:56If Jason's accident was an opening salvo, then the battle for Port Charles was just beginning, and the hospital was rapidly becoming its front line.
06:03Down in the hospital chapel, a different kind of battle was being waged, one of faith against a rising tide of despair.
06:11Molly Lansing Davis sat on a simple wooden pew, her hands clasped so tightly her knuckles were white.
06:17The small, quiet space, with its muted stained glass window and the faint scent of old hymns and candle wax, had always been a place of solace for her.
06:25Today, it felt hollow.
06:28The words of the prayer she whispered seemed to hit the still air and fall lifeless to the floor.
06:33Her wife, T.J., was across the city at the courthouse, preparing for a preliminary hearing that felt more like a execution.
06:40The case against him, built on a foundation of lies and circumstantial evidence, was gaining traction,
06:46and the district attorney, a ruthless political climber named Amanda Walters,
06:49was determined to make an example of a respected doctor fallen from grace.
06:53Please, Molly whispered, her voice cracking.
06:57Please, just let the truth come out.
07:00Let them see the man he is, not the monster they're trying to create.
07:05She thought of T.J.'s face, the confusion and hurt in his eyes when the police had led him away in handcuffs.
07:11She thought of the patients who relied on him, the colleagues who now looked at him with suspicion.
07:15The weight of it all was crushing her.
07:19She had fought so many battles in her life, for her identity, for her career, for justice for others.
07:25But this felt different.
07:27This was an attack on her family, on her heart, and the legal arsenal she possessed felt useless against the shadowy forces manipulating the system.
07:35The heavy oak door of the chapel creaked open, slicing through the silence.
07:40Molly turned, a flicker of hope that it might be T.J.'s lawyer with good news.
07:44Instead, she saw the tall, broad-shouldered silhouette of sunny Corinthos.
07:50He stood for a moment, allowing his eyes to adjust to the dim light,
07:53before walking slowly down the short aisle and taking a seat beside her.
07:57He didn't speak at first, simply offering his presence, a solid, formidable rock in her churning sea of anxiety.
08:04Molly, he said finally, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that was both comforting and intimidating.
08:10I just got off the phone with my attorney.
08:12Sonny, we're not going to let this stand.
08:16Molly looked at him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
08:20How, Sonny?
08:22The evidence they have, it's all so perfectly placed.
08:26It's like a trap that was sprung, and T.J. walked right into it.
08:30Because someone built that trap, Sonny stated, his jaw tight.
08:34And people who build traps leave behind tools.
08:38Sawdust.
08:40Fingerprints.
08:41We will find them.
08:43He leaned forward, his dark eyes intense.
08:47T.J. is family.
08:49You are family.
08:51And no one comes after my family.
08:54Amanda Walters might think she's untouchable,
08:56but she's about to learn that in Port Charles, some lines you don't cross.
09:01There was a cold fire in his gaze that Molly had seen before,
09:04a promise of retribution that existed outside courtrooms and legal procedures.
09:09Part of her, the part that was a lawyer, recoiled at the implication.
09:13But the larger part, the part that was a terrified wife, felt a surge of grim relief.
09:18If the system was corrupt, then perhaps it took a force like Sonny Corinthos,
09:23operating in the shadows, to burn it down and expose the truth.
09:27She simply nodded, unable to find the words, and placed her hand over his.
09:32In the quiet chapel, a new, dangerous alliance was forged,
09:35born of desperation and a shared, ferocious love.
09:39Meanwhile, at the Port Charles Police Department, the atmosphere was just as charged.
09:44Detective Harrison Chase sat at his desk,
09:46the surface of which was buried under a mountain of case files,
09:49empty coffee cups, and his own growing frustration.
09:53The file for the Morgan incident, as it was officially dubbed, lay open before him.
09:58The initial report had listed it as a single-vehicle accident,
10:01likely due to excessive speed and mechanical failure.
10:05But Chase's instincts, honed by years on the force and a personal history of navigating the city's
10:10underworld, screamed that it was wrong.
10:12The skid marks were too precise,
10:14the damage to the car's undercarriage inconsistent with just hitting a guardrail.
10:19It pointed to a collision, a deliberate sideswipe or a forced run off the road.
10:24He had taken his findings to his new partner, Detective John O'Brien,
10:27a by-the-book transfer from Albany who viewed Port Charles with a mixture of disdain and bewilderment.
10:33O'Brien, a man with a crisp part in his hair and an unwavering faith in procedure,
10:37had listened to Chase's theory with a skeptical frown.
10:40It's thin, Chase, O'Brien had said, tapping the file.
10:45The forensics team didn't note any foreign paint transfer.
10:49No witnesses.
10:51No CCTV on that stretch of road.
10:54You're building a conspiracy theory on a feeling.
10:58It's not a feeling, Chase had argued, his voice tight.
11:02It's pattern recognition.
11:03Jason Morgan has a history.
11:07So does his business partner, Sonny Carinthos.
11:11An accident like this, at this particular time,
11:13with the brewing territory war with the Pikeman Group?
11:16It's too convenient.
11:19The Pikeman Group is a legitimate, international security firm, O'Brien countered.
11:24You can't go around accusing corporations of attempted murder because of a hunch.
11:29We need evidence.
11:31Hard evidence.
11:33The argument had ended in a stalemate, leaving Chase feeling isolated and hamstrung.
11:38He knew O'Brien was right, technically.
11:41But he also knew that in Port Charles, the truth rarely surfaced through official channels.
11:47It had to be dredged up from the murky depths,
11:49often with methods that wouldn't hold up in a court of law.
11:52He glanced at the clock.
11:54His shift was over, but his work was far from done.
11:58He had a source, a low-level snitch with ties to the import-export docs,
12:02who claimed to have heard something.
12:04It was a long shot, but long shots were all he had left.
12:08He grabbed his jacket, his mind already moving from the bureaucratic confines of the PCPD
12:13to the gritty, unpredictable streets where the real answers were often found.
12:18Back at General Hospital, the epicenter of so much of the day's drama,
12:21the shift change brought a new wave of energy and anxiety.
12:25Laura Collins, the mayor of Port Charles, swept into the main lobby,
12:29her expression a masterful blend of compassionate concern and steely resolve.
12:34She was there for a scheduled meeting with the hospital board,
12:37but her first stop was the fifth floor.
12:39She found Carly, still in her vigil, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
12:44Any change?
12:45Laura asked, her voice soft.
12:49Carly shook her head, her eyes never leaving Jason's face.
12:53No.
12:55But he's a fighter.
12:57He'll wake up.
12:59He will, Laura affirmed, though her own heart was heavy with worry.
13:03Jason was more than just a citizen, he was a fixture, a complicated, often controversial,
13:08but fundamentally essential part of the city's ecosystem.
13:11His absence created a vacuum, and in Port Charles, vacuums were always filled by chaos.
13:17The entire city is praying for him, Carly.
13:21Carly finally turned to look at her, and the raw pain in her eyes was startling.
13:26They should be praying for the person who did this, Laura.
13:29Because when I find out who it is, prayers won't be enough.
13:33The threat hung in the air, cold and absolute.
13:36Laura gave her shoulder a final squeeze before leaving, her mind already racing to her meeting.
13:42She had to address the growing concerns about the hospital's funding and the rumors of a
13:46hostile takeover bid from a larger healthcare conglomerate.
13:50Another threat, another battle.
13:53It felt like the very foundations of the city she loved were being systematically tested.
13:57As Laura headed for the boardroom, another, more clandestine meeting was taking place in the
14:02hospital's basement, near the old, rarely-used boiler room.
14:07The air was thick with the smell of damp concrete and industrial cleaner.
14:11Cyrus Renaud, looking gaunt but with his fanatical eyes burning brighter than ever,
14:15stood facing his sister, Laura.
14:18The irony of their location, beneath the place of healing, in the bowels of the building,
14:23was not lost on either of them.
14:24You're making a mistake, Laura, Cyrus said, his voice a serpentine whisper.
14:30Aligning yourself with the old guard.
14:33Corinthos.
14:35Morgan.
14:37They are relics.
14:39Their time is over.
14:41The city is changing.
14:43It needs a new kind of strength.
14:46A moral strength.
14:48A strength you just happened to be selling?
14:51Laura shot back, her arms crossed.
14:53I know about your meetings, Cyrus.
14:57Your prayer groups that are really recruiting sessions for your new, what are you calling
15:01it?
15:02The Port Charles Reformation?
15:04It sounds like a cult.
15:07It's a movement, Cyrus corrected, a smug smile playing on his lips.
15:11A cleansing fire.
15:13The corruption, the violence, the moral decay that men like Sonny Corinthos represent, it
15:18will be burned away.
15:19And from the ashes, something pure will rise.
15:23I'm offering you a chance to be on the right side of history, sister.
15:28Laura stared at him, a cold dread seeping into her bones.
15:32She had fought Cyrus before, when his evil was overt, fueled by drugs and violence.
15:37This new incarnation, cloaked in the language of salvation and moral superiority, was in many
15:42ways more dangerous.
15:43There is no right side with you, Cyrus.
15:47There is only your side.
15:49And I want no part of it.
15:52Stay away from my hospital.
15:55Stay away from my city.
15:57She turned and walked away, her heels clicking sharply on the concrete floor, the sound echoing
16:02in the cavernous space.
16:04Cyrus watched her go, his smile not fading.
16:08She was wrong.
16:09The hospital, the city, it was all already his.
16:13He just had to help them see the light.
16:16His plan was in motion, a slow, insidious poison that was already working its way through
16:21the city's veins.
16:23Jason Morgan's accident had been an unexpected but fortunate disruption, a chaos he could exploit.
16:29And TJ's legal troubles were another beautiful, messy complication that kept the authorities
16:33and the powerful distracted.
16:36Everything was proceeding as he had foreseen.
16:39The day wore on, the sun climbing higher in the sky but doing little to lift the pervasive
16:43gloom.
16:45At the courthouse, TJ's hearing was a dispiriting affair.
16:49The DA, Amanda Walters, presented her case with cold, clinical efficiency.
16:54A timeline of events, financial records that showed unexplained deposits into an offshore
16:59account linked to TJ's name and the damning testimony of a confidential informant who claimed
17:03to have seen TJ altering patient records for a payoff.
17:06It was all fiction, expertly crafted, and the judge, an old-school jurist with a reputation
17:11for being tough on crime, seemed to be buying every word.
17:15TJ sat beside his lawyer, his posture rigid, his face a mask of stunned disbelief.
17:21He could feel the eyes of the courtroom on him, the silent accusations, the shattered respect.
17:25It was a nightmare from which he couldn't wake.
17:29Molly, sitting in the front row, reached her breaking point.
17:33As Amanda Walters coolly outlined the overwhelming evidence of greed and corruption, Molly stood up.
17:39That's a lie!
17:40She cried out, her voice trembling with fury and heartbreak.
17:44Every word of it is a lie.
17:46My husband is a healer, not a criminal.
17:50The judge slammed his gavel.
17:52Ms. Lansing Davis, you will control yourself or I will have you removed from my courtroom.
17:58TJ turned and looked at her, his eyes begging her to stay silent.
18:02The pain in his gaze was a physical blow.
18:05She sank back into her seat, her body shaking, as the judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence
18:10to bind the case over for trial.
18:13No bail.
18:14TJ was remanded back into custody.
18:18As the bailiff led him away, he glanced back at Molly one last time,
18:21a look of utter devastation that would haunt her for the rest of her days.
18:25The system, the institution she had sworn to uphold, had just failed them completely.
18:30The news of the judge's decision traveled fast.
18:34Sonny Carinthos received the call in his office at the Metro Court,
18:37his expression hardening into granite.
18:40I see, was all he said before hanging up.
18:43He walked to the window, looking out over his city.
18:47They had taken one of his own.
18:49It was an act of war, as clear as any declaration.
18:53He picked up a secure phone, dialing a number from memory.
18:57It's time, he said into the receiver, his voice devoid of all emotion.
19:02Start Phase 1
19:04In his penthouse, surrounded by schematics and financial reports,
19:08the enigmatic billionaire behind the Pikeman Group, Alistair Cray, received a report of his own.
19:13A small, satisfied smile touched his lips.
19:17The Morgan problem was temporarily neutralized.
19:21The Carinthos organization was distracted by the doctor's legal troubles.
19:24The field was clear.
19:27His plans for Port Charles, a quiet, systematic takeover of its ports, its real estate, and its institutions,
19:34could proceed with minimal interference.
19:37He had learned long ago that the most effective battles were won not with bullets,
19:40but with paperwork, leverage, and the careful application of pressure on the right pressure points.
19:46Port Charles was a sick patient, and he was the surgeon, ready to cut out the diseased parts
19:50and rebuild it in his own sleek, efficient, and highly profitable image.
19:55As evening began to descend, casting Port Charles in a deep, bruised purple twilight,
20:00the final, most critical event of the day began to unfold back at General Hospital.
20:05The corridors grew quieter, the daytime staff replaced by the night shift.
20:09Elizabeth had gone home, forced by a concerned Finn to get some sleep.
20:13Laura Collins was in her office at City Hall, drafting a statement about civic unity that
20:19felt hollow even to her.
20:21Sonny was a shadow, moving through the city's underworld, setting his plans in motion.
20:26And in room 542, Carly Carinthos was alone.
20:30The drone of the heart monitor was a lullaby of stagnation.
20:34She had talked herself hoarse, reminiscing about old times, about their children, about their
20:39shared battles.
20:40Now, she just sat in silence, holding his hand, her hope beginning to fray at the edges.
20:46She rested her forehead on their joint hands, closing her eyes against the sting of fresh
20:50tears.
20:51I can't do this without you, Jason, she whispered, her voice raw.
20:56Please.
20:58Just, give me a sign.
21:00Anything.
21:02A moment passed.
21:04Then another.
21:06Nothing but the steady, mocking beep of the monitor.
21:09And then, it happened.
21:12It was so faint she almost missed it.
21:15A slight twitch.
21:17A minute pressure against her palm.
21:19Carly's head snapped up, her eyes wide and fixed on Jason's face.
21:24She held her breath, her entire world narrowing to the point where her skin met his.
21:29Jason, she breathed, her voice barely audible.
21:32His fingers twitched again, more deliberately this time.
21:36A slow, agonizing ripple of movement traveled through his hand, the fingers curling ever
21:41so slightly around hers.
21:43Then, his eyelids fluttered.
21:46It was just a tremor at first, a faint struggle against a great weight.
21:51Carly leaned in, her heart hammering against her ribs, a wild, desperate hope blooming in
21:55her chest.
21:56Jason?
21:57Jason?
21:58Can you hear me?
22:00Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.
22:03A beat.
22:05Two.
22:06Then, a definite, purposeful squeeze.
22:09Weak, but unmistakable.
22:12His eyelids fluttered again, then slowly, painfully, began to open.
22:17They were unfocused, clouded with confusion and the residual fog of a long, deep darkness.
22:22He blinked, the world a blur of light and shadow.
22:26He tried to speak, but only a dry, rasping sound emerged from his cracked lips.
22:32Carly was on her feet in an instant, her hand flying to the call button, pressing it
22:36repeatedly, urgently.
22:38He's awake!
22:40He's awake, she cried out, her voice cracking with a sob of pure, unadulterated relief.
22:46Tears streamed down her face now, but they were tears of joy, of victory.
22:50Jason's gaze wandered the room, disoriented, before slowly, gradually, focusing on her
22:56face.
22:57He looked at her, into her, and in the depths of his blue eyes, still hazy with trauma, there
23:02was a flicker of recognition.
23:04A spark of the man she knew.
23:07He was back.
23:09He had fought his way through the darkness and come back to her.
23:12As nurses and a resident rushed into the room, their voices a sudden, bustling cacophony
23:17of medical jargon and activity, Carly stepped back, giving them space, but her eyes never
23:21left Jason's face.
23:23The war for Port Charles was escalating on all fronts, in the courtrooms, in the corporate
23:27boardrooms, in the shadowy back alleys, and in the corrupted soul of a man like Cyrus
23:32Renault.
23:33But in this small, brightly lit room, a critical victory had been won.
23:38Jason Morgan was conscious.
23:39The cornerstone of one of the city's foundational powers had just been reset.
23:45His return would change everything.
23:48The players had just realigned.
23:50The stakes had been raised.
23:53And as the full moon rose over the Port Charles skyline, it illuminated a city on the brink,
23:58its fate now irrevocably tied to the recovery and the next moves of the man who had just
24:02opened his eyes.
24:03The calm was over.
24:05The storm was finally here.
24:07The new week on General Hospital begins with intensity as Port Charles wakes up to chaos
24:12and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
24:15The morning opens at General Hospital, where Elizabeth Weber is seen pacing outside the nurse's
24:20station, her phone clutched tightly in her hand.
24:23Her eyes are filled with exhaustion and fear as she waits for a call from the PCPD.
24:28Finn walks up behind her, trying to offer comfort, but Liz barely looks at him.
24:33You don't understand, Hamilton.
24:35This isn't just about Aiden anymore.
24:39Lucky's back, and he's digging into something that could blow everything apart.
24:44Finn exhales, rubbing his neck, knowing how deep Lucky's return has shaken her.
24:49I get it, Liz, but you have to trust that the truth will help, not hurt.
24:54She shakes her head, whispering, the truth never helped anyone in this town.
24:58Across town at the Metro Court, Carly Corinthosjax sits in her corner booth sipping coffee, her
25:04eyes scanning her phone for updates.
25:06She's waiting for news about Sunny, who has gone completely silent after a heated confrontation
25:11with Ava the night before.
25:13Nina walks in, catching sight of Carly, and freezes.
25:18Carly looks up and smirks, well, look who decided to crawl out of the shadows.
25:23Nina sighs, not in the mood for games.
25:25Carly, I'm not here to fight.
25:29Carly sets her cup down, her tone sharp as glass.
25:32Then why are you here?
25:34To tell me how you feel bad for what you did to everyone again?
25:38Because honestly, no one wants to hear it anymore.
25:42Nina folds her arms.
25:44You still think you're the victim, don't you?
25:48Carly stands up, her voice rising.
25:50No, Nina, I just think people like you always get a pass while everyone else has to clean
25:55up your mess.
25:57The tension is palpable until Drew steps between them, clearly annoyed.
26:01Enough!
26:03The both of you!
26:05This isn't high school, it's a coffee shop.
26:08Carly glares at him but sits down, muttering, then tell her to stop following me.
26:13Drew sighs, knowing nothing he says will change Carly's stubbornness.
26:17At Sunny's penthouse, the atmosphere is completely different.
26:22Sunny sits in the dimly lit room with Dante, both men quiet for a long stretch before Sunny
26:26finally mutters, I made a mistake letting Ava think she had control.
26:30Dante studies his father's face, concern etched in his expression.
26:35You didn't exactly have much of a choice, Dad.
26:38She's been playing dirty.
26:41Sunny's jaw tightens.
26:42I don't like being cornered, not by Ava Jerome, not by anyone.
26:48Dante leans forward, lowering his voice.
26:51Then you need to do something before she does.
26:54Because if she's really got that footage of you and Dex, she could use it.
26:59Sunny's eyes flash with anger.
27:01Let her try.
27:03He stands, walking toward the window, his voice dark.
27:07If Ava wants a war, she's about to get one.
27:11Meanwhile, Ava is already several steps ahead, sitting in her gallery flipping through her
27:15phone as she replays the footage she's holding over Sunny's head.
27:19Trina walks in unexpectedly, startling her.
27:23Ava?
27:24You okay?
27:26Ava forces a smile, quickly locking her phone.
27:29Of course, darling.
27:32Just a little business.
27:34Trina tilts her head.
27:36You look tense.
27:37Is it about Spencer?
27:40Ava pauses, the mention of Spencer still cutting deep.
27:44No, sweetheart.
27:46It's never just one thing in this town.
27:50Trina sits beside her, her expression filled with empathy.
27:54I miss him too.
27:56Sometimes I still dream about him.
27:59Ava looks at her, her eyes softening.
28:02You loved him.
28:04He loved you.
28:04But some things don't get second chances.
28:09Trina whispers, maybe they do, if you fight for them.
28:13Ava's eyes drift away, her thoughts moving back to Sunny.
28:16Fighting for something only works if you know who your enemy really is.
28:21Back at the hospital, Liz's world turns upside down when Lucky walks in, holding a manila envelope.
28:26The air between them is thick with history.
28:30She whispers, lucky, and he gives her a sad smile.
28:34It's been a long time, Liz.
28:36She nods, tears forming.
28:39What are you doing here?
28:41He sets the envelope on the desk.
28:43I brought something you need to see.
28:46She hesitates before picking it up.
28:50Inside are photos, evidence tied to Aiden's case and something that points toward Nicholas's possible involvement in a cover-up years ago.
28:57Liz gasps, her hand trembling.
29:00This can't be real.
29:02Lucky looks pained.
29:04It is.
29:06I found it in Europe.
29:08Nicholas knew something, and it's time we all faced it.
29:11Liz looks up, her voice breaking.
29:15He's my friend, Lucky.
29:17Lucky shakes his head.
29:20He's not the man you remember.
29:22Finn, who has been listening from nearby, steps forward.
29:26If this is true, we need to go to the police.
29:30Liz shakes her head, panic rising.
29:33No.
29:34If this goes public, it'll destroy what's left of our family.
29:38Lucky's voice softens.
29:40Liz, it's already been destroyed.
29:43The only thing left is the truth.
29:46At the Quartermain Mansion, Michael and Willow sit across from Ned and Olivia, tension in the air after a board meeting goes wrong.
29:54Ned snaps, you went behind my back again, Michael.
29:57You don't make corporate moves without consulting the family.
30:01Michael clenches his fists.
30:03I did what was best for ELQ, not your ego.
30:07Olivia tries to calm them.
30:10Enough.
30:11You're both acting like you forgot who the real enemy is, Valentin.
30:16Michael shoots back, Valentin's a problem, sure.
30:19But the real issue is that we keep tearing ourselves apart.
30:24Willow places a hand on his arm, whispering, please don't do this again.
30:29Michael exhales, softening as he looks at her.
30:31I'm trying, Will.
30:34I just want this family to stop imploding.
30:38Ned mutters, then maybe start by not acting like you own it.
30:42Olivia sighs, pouring herself a drink.
30:45If we don't find a way to stick together, the Quartermain name won't mean a damn thing by next year.
30:50Elsewhere, at the park, Jocelyn and Dex meet in secret.
30:55The chill in the autumn air matches the tension between them.
30:59Dex says quietly, Sonny's losing control, Joss.
31:02He's not thinking clearly.
31:05She looks up, eyes wide.
31:07What are you saying?
31:09He sighs.
31:11I think he's planning something against Ava, and if I stay involved, I could go down with him.
31:17Joss's voice cracks.
31:18Then walk away, Dex.
31:21You don't owe him anything.
31:24He shakes his head.
31:26It's not that simple.
31:28He gave me a second chance when no one else would.
31:32Joss takes his hands, pleading.
31:34You gave him loyalty, and he used it.
31:38Please, don't let him take your future too.
31:41Dex hesitates, his heart torn.
31:44If I walk away, he'll see it as betrayal.
31:46You know what that means.
31:49Joss whispers, then we run.
31:52Dex looks at her in disbelief.
31:55Run where?
31:56She answers with quiet desperation, anywhere but here.
32:00At the same time, at GH, Sam McCall walks into Dante's office, tossing a file onto his desk.
32:07You're not going to like this.
32:10Dante flips it open, scanning the contents.
32:13Where did you get this?
32:15Sam crosses her arms.
32:17Jason sent it before he disappeared again.
32:21It's about Pikeman.
32:23Dante frowns deeply.
32:25I thought Pikeman was gone.
32:28Sam shakes her head.
32:30They're not.
32:32They're rebuilding, and they're targeting Sunny again.
32:35Dante's eyes darken.
32:38If this is true, that means the last year of peace was just the calm before the storm.
32:43Sam nods.
32:45Exactly.
32:46And if Sunny gets wind of this, he'll go nuclear.
32:50Dante sighs, rubbing his face.
32:53Then we'd better find a way to stop this before it explodes.
32:57Sam glances at him.
32:59You mean before Sunny does something he can't take back.
