00:00What is the holdout?
00:07I completed the application, including a cosigner with impeccable credit, and I submitted it hours ago.
00:14Well, if I don't get approval, I'm happy to go elsewhere. You're not the only dealership in town.
00:22Is that a work call?
00:24Or are you once again using the hospital's time to clean up the mess that is your life?
00:30Don't mind all the boxes.
00:33That's Tracy.
00:35Who else?
00:37Wow.
00:39She, uh, she said she was downsized, huh?
00:43Yeah, she probably does consider my entire house a smaller storage unit than she's used to.
00:48Oh, yeah, she probably does.
00:51So, uh, what's going on with Rocco?
00:54Did you know that Rocco had dinner with Nathan, Liesel, and Britt when I was taking Charlotte to see Valentin in Switzerland?
01:06Uh, nope.
01:08No, I did not.
01:09I was working late.
01:10He was supposed to be at the quarter mains with my mother.
01:15Then we have a problem.
01:17Rocco lied to us about the dinner.
01:20And I want to know why he's hiding it from us.
01:22Gannon, I'm looking for my wife now.
01:28Where is she?
01:30I'm not Dr. Robinson's keeper.
01:33But if I see her, I'll pass along the message that you're looking for.
01:37Can I ask what it's about?
01:41It's about our family.
01:45Hello.
01:46Good to see you.
01:47Nice to see you.
01:50So, don't keep me in suspense.
01:53You were so cryptic on the phone.
01:56There's been a, um, development.
02:00Still cryptic.
02:02One that will profoundly affect Trina.
02:05Is she okay?
02:06For now.
02:08But I'm trusting you with this because I know how much you love Trina.
02:12Oh, I would do anything for her.
02:13What's going on?
02:16Take it, please.
02:21Jacinda.
02:22Nothing is more important to me in my life than my daughter's freedom.
02:26And as you will see, I'm willing to pay generously for it.
02:35That's a lot of zeros.
02:36Yes, and a woman in your position could probably benefit from all those zeros.
02:43What do we have here, Nina?
02:48You paying Jacinda to drug someone else?
02:52No, Drew.
02:53I'm paying her to save my daughter's life.
02:57I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you.
03:02Could you say that again?
03:04I'm selling the house.
03:07Oh.
03:09Over my dead body.
03:10You caught me.
03:38That was indeed a personal phone call.
03:41Well, points for your honesty.
03:43I felt comfortable making that call because I am way ahead on my assigned tasks.
03:50Really?
03:51Yes.
03:52Every patient has been routed to a room and all insurance forms have been filed.
03:56I'm not going to lie.
03:59It's impressive.
04:02I'm impressive.
04:03And you get points for saying it.
04:06Come on, you can't be that surprised.
04:08I was former co-chief of staff, Elizabeth.
04:11I can oversee administrative tasks in my sleep if you want some tips.
04:16Maybe some other time.
04:19Right now, you need to call the maintenance team to confirm their schedules.
04:23Looks like you missed that one.
04:30Well, we can't have a kid lying to us.
04:32That's unacceptable.
04:34So let's get him down here.
04:36We'll set some boundaries.
04:37And first of all, first of all, he's got to know that he can't go behind our backs.
04:41Ever.
04:42How about we take a breath here?
04:43You want to be a good cop or a bad cop?
04:46How about no cop?
04:47What are you talking about?
04:48I thought you'd be on board with this.
04:49I thought you'd want to be all the cops.
04:51We've got to nip this in the bud.
04:52We can't have our kid running around town lying to our faces.
04:55I agree.
04:56But, Dante, this...
04:57What?
04:57We have to be really, really careful here.
05:03I don't need you playing messenger for me with my wife.
05:06If you see Dr. Robinson, tell her husband's looking for her.
05:11Hey.
05:12Good luck tracking down your wife.
05:23Curtis?
05:25Hey.
05:26Hey.
05:27It's been such a long time since I've seen you.
05:30It's been too long.
05:31Is everything okay?
05:33Oh, yeah.
05:33Everything's fine.
05:34I just wanted to pick up a prescription for Ace.
05:37You know, I had forgotten what a little Petri dish a toddler can be.
05:42Because it is always something.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Yeah.
05:47It always is.
05:49We should really schedule a lunch and try to catch up.
05:54You know, if you don't mind.
05:56If you have a minute now, I could share you as a friend.
06:00Trina is very precious to me.
06:04Whatever I can do to help her, I will do.
06:05And I'm going to need your discretion.
06:08You have it.
06:09Curtis and I are getting a divorce.
06:13Oh, my God.
06:14Morgan, you scared the hell out of me.
06:17I thought something happened to Trina.
06:19I mean, her emotional well-being is in the balance.
06:22Yeah, well, of course.
06:23But you know what I mean.
06:25Marriage breaking up, I can handle.
06:27Well, you don't have to seem so thrilled about it.
06:28No, I'm not.
06:30I'm just relieved that Trina's okay.
06:32Look, I'm...
06:33I am sorry about the divorce.
06:35Sure.
06:37I'm sure this is very difficult for all of you.
06:40The divorce is actually the least of my worries.
06:44What does that mean?
06:48There's more.
06:49I'm pregnant.
06:53Well, that does complicate things, doesn't it?
06:56It certainly does.
06:58Especially when you're not sure who the father is.
07:03Excuse me.
07:07I'm going to need another drink.
07:08Uh-huh.
07:11I'll leave you two to talk shop or whatever is about to happen here.
07:16You're not dipping into extortion now, are you?
07:18Because that's, um, serious jail time.
07:24Hey, don't terrorize her.
07:26We need her.
07:27Oh, we do, do we?
07:29What am I doing here, Nina?
07:31And it better not be for you to ask me to plead your case to Willow.
07:34Well, I wouldn't dream of that because Willow hates me.
07:37She thinks that I betrayed her for recanting our alibi, but I did it for her.
07:42Your daughter is in a prison cell while you're negotiating with an escort,
07:45so call me crazy, but it sure looks like you did it for you.
07:49You're not dumb, Drew.
07:50Is that a compliment?
07:52You must realize that my alibi was not going to hold up in court.
07:57The police have already disproved my alibi.
08:00They have video evidence that I was in my building during the time that you were shot.
08:06I do realize that if you'd stuck with your alibi,
08:10they might have had a case that you and Willow conspired together to shoot.
08:13And we both know that that is not true.
08:16If I continued to lie, I would give the police what they needed
08:20to railroad Willow into premeditated attempted murder.
08:25Yeah, your daughter might not see it like that.
08:27Well, she doesn't see it like that, and she may never see it like that,
08:30but I will ask for her forgiveness when she is free.
08:35And Jacinda's the key to that.
08:38Michael's alibi is the key to that.
08:40That's right.
08:42But Jacinda's not Michael's alibi anymore.
08:45Okay, Tracy, Ronnie, let's all keep this cool.
08:51I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation.
08:54Even better, a great solution, Ronnie.
08:56I'm sure that you don't mean to sell the house out from under us, right?
09:03Monica left me this house, okay?
09:07So it's mine to do with as I see fit.
09:10And you consider this fit?
09:12It's just more house than I can handle, you know?
09:17And I'm not used to living with so many people,
09:21and there are so many people.
09:23That's the point.
09:24It's a family home.
09:26There are several generations of court remains
09:28living under this roof, and even a few strays.
09:32Hey!
09:32That's enough.
09:35Look, Ronnie,
09:37it's not a question of whether you can or can't sell the property.
09:40You own this estate, so it's your decision.
09:45But we all hope that you won't sell.
09:50Because this isn't just a house.
09:51As you know, we have cherished family members,
09:54including your sister,
09:56interred in the crypt on the property.
09:59So many people call this place home.
10:01I know that it can be very chaotic,
10:05but it's also a refuge.
10:08Maybe you haven't been here long enough to really feel that,
10:12but you could.
10:14I mean, this could be your family.
10:18This could be your home.
10:19Wait, I have a better idea.
10:21You should sell the house to Michael.
10:25I haven't confirmed the maintenance schedule yet,
10:30because it's set through tomorrow afternoon.
10:32I will get to it.
10:34When?
10:36But I want to be your reminder.
10:38I have enough staff to oversee,
10:40and making sure you do your job
10:41is not a good use of my time.
10:44You might have more time
10:45if you stopped wasting so much of it
10:47on backseat driving me.
10:48Just focus on doing your job, please.
10:51I am in a good mood,
10:56and you are not going to ruin that.
10:58Because I had an amazing steam earlier.
11:02I put Carly definitively in her place.
11:06I am getting a gorgeous new car,
11:09courtesy of Jason.
11:11I had a wonderful dinner the other night
11:13with a child I brought into the world
11:15who, before you say it,
11:18is not my son.
11:19So I am on cloud nine, Elizabeth.
11:22Nobody's going to ruin that.
11:23Not even you.
11:25Brett.
11:28We have a problem.
11:30It's for our call.
11:32Okay.
11:33So, how do you want to handle this?
11:36I want to create an environment
11:38where our son feels safe
11:40and comfortable to come to us.
11:42Yeah, so do I.
11:43But the last time he went behind our backs,
11:45he ended up in the hospital
11:46getting his stomach pumped.
11:47I don't want to do that again.
11:48I agree.
11:49Okay, so, so what's, what's the plan?
11:53Well, if he is meeting Obrick and Britt in secret,
11:57that means the message I'm trying to send
11:59isn't landing.
12:00Okay, so we've got to be more direct.
12:01We've got to let him know there's rules in this family
12:03and they've got to be followed.
12:04You're not getting it, Dante.
12:07Rocco is not sneaking around
12:08because he's lying or trying to get away with something
12:10that's not who he is.
12:12He is keeping this from me
12:13because he doesn't want to hurt me.
12:16Rocco's not the problem.
12:17I'm the one who needs to make adjustments here.
12:21Hey, Mom.
12:22Dante.
12:23Hey.
12:24Hey, Dad.
12:24Hey, buddy.
12:25I didn't know you were coming over.
12:27Yeah, I just, uh,
12:29you know, I had something I wanted to ask you.
12:32Okay.
12:34So the other night
12:35when your mom and your sister were in Switzerland,
12:37I was working late.
12:38Where were you?
12:44Portia and I are getting a divorce.
12:47Oh, Curtis.
12:49I am so sorry.
12:51You know, I had no idea
12:52that the two of you were even struggling.
12:55We decided to keep our struggles private.
12:58I understand.
13:00I really do.
13:03Divorce is complicated
13:05and messy under any circumstances,
13:07but as it turns out,
13:10Portia may be pregnant.
13:13She may be pregnant?
13:14You don't know for sure?
13:16Well, my wife's lies
13:17are a big part of why our marriage is ending.
13:20And I think she may be lying to me again.
13:27Curtis and I, we loved each other.
13:29We really did.
13:31But the fact that I lied to him about Trina
13:34for all those years,
13:36you could never get past that.
13:38Mm-mm.
13:40The pain and betrayal was just
13:42sitting right there
13:43between the two of us.
13:47And we couldn't build any trust around it.
13:49No lasting trust, anyway.
13:53Breaking up
13:54just only seemed to be a matter of time.
13:58Drew's blackmail sure didn't help.
14:00No.
14:01No, it did not.
14:04I'm so sorry, Portia.
14:07Lies and secrets,
14:08they have a way of dividing
14:10even the strongest of couples.
14:12And I know that from personal experience.
14:14I know you do.
14:16And then, of course, Jordan
14:17always manages to be around
14:20to be an ear or a shoulder for Curtis.
14:23And what about all the lies
14:24and manipulation that she did?
14:27It's like they're gone.
14:28They're erased.
14:29Oh, I'm sure Jordan
14:30was all too eager
14:32to polish her halo
14:33for Curtis's benefit.
14:35But, Portia, there's got to be
14:37somebody else in play here, right?
14:40Somebody who caught your attention.
14:43Well, while Curtis
14:45was being entertained by Jordan,
14:47I found someone who saw me
14:50and saw the pain that I was in.
14:52And he showed up
14:55to comfort me.
14:57Dare I ask?
15:00He's the last person
15:01I should be with.
15:04Dr. Isaiah Cannon.
15:08Well, you seem awfully confident
15:10that Jacinda's gonna throw Michael
15:11under the bus.
15:13Well, she's definitely
15:14been incentivized.
15:15I mean, what woman
15:16would trust a man
15:17who framed his ex-wife
15:19for murder?
15:21Maybe Michael shot me.
15:22Maybe he didn't.
15:23But I know
15:24that he framed Willow for it.
15:25He went to Elizabeth's house
15:27and planted that gun
15:28in Willow's room.
15:29And he only did that
15:30because he wants to take
15:31her children away
15:32from her permanently.
15:34It's a waste of time.
15:36Nobody actually believes
15:37that Willow's the one
15:38that shot me.
15:39All Michael's done is
15:40he's painted a bigger bullseye
15:41on his back.
15:43He had motive.
15:44He had means.
15:45He had opportunity.
15:46And now,
15:48all I gotta do
15:49is apply the right pressure
15:51to make it undeniable.
15:54What do you have in mind?
15:55Among other things,
15:57I'm buying the
15:58quarter main estate.
16:01And that helps
16:03Willow how?
16:05It's gonna destabilize Michael.
16:08It's gonna distract him.
16:09He's under a microscope
16:10right now.
16:11One wrong move
16:13and he's gonna risk
16:14losing it at all.
16:15And you think
16:17buying Michael's family home
16:19is going to
16:20make him crack?
16:21Don't you?
16:23Michael is gonna
16:24hate it.
16:26And he's gonna
16:27lash out
16:28like he always does
16:30and then he'll
16:31prove to everybody
16:32that he's reckless enough
16:34to have tried
16:35to kill me.
16:36Everybody lined up
16:37to tell me how
16:38it didn't matter
16:40that Monica
16:40didn't give the house
16:42to Michael.
16:42Michael didn't need
16:44the house.
16:45He had plenty of money.
16:46Well, how about
16:47you part with
16:47some of that money
16:48and you pay
16:49this vulture off
16:50so we can be rid
16:51of her for once
16:52and for all?
16:53All right, Ronnie.
16:54Look, whatever
16:55monetary amount
16:56you're looking for,
16:57I can more than
16:58match it.
16:59Okay, the important
16:59thing is that
17:00my grandmother's home
17:01stays in this family.
17:04Well, I'm sorry,
17:05Michael,
17:06but that's just
17:06not possible
17:07because I've already
17:11accepted an offer
17:12from another buyer.
17:14That was fast.
17:16Too fast?
17:16Wait, wait,
17:17it wasn't even listed.
17:18You can't sell a property
17:19like this that fast.
17:20Who bought it?
17:22I gotta take this.
17:23Oh, perfect.
17:27Hello.
17:30Oi, what's going on?
17:35Yeah, I'll be right there.
17:37Is Rocco okay?
17:43Yeah, well, he's fine.
17:44There was an issue
17:45with the den
17:45in the four of us
17:46had the other night.
17:47Oh, okay.
17:48Well, can that
17:49wait till later?
17:50Nurse Ratched here
17:51frowns upon breaks.
17:53No, no, go ahead.
17:54Chat with your brother.
17:55How nice of you.
17:57You know, Nathan,
17:57it really is
17:58such a mystery to me.
18:00What is it?
18:00How someone as kind
18:02and thoughtful as you
18:03could end up
18:03with a sister like her.
18:07You know,
18:12I felt terrible
18:13day of the night,
18:15really.
18:15I mean,
18:15especially with your mom
18:16and your sister away.
18:18It wasn't a big deal.
18:21I haven't even gotten
18:21a chance to talk to you
18:22about Switzerland yet.
18:23It was really great
18:24seeing my dad.
18:26Which reminds me,
18:27have you gotten a chance
18:28to talk to Agent Brendan
18:29about doing it again?
18:30Hmm, not yet.
18:32You know,
18:33I'm really happy
18:34you had a great visit
18:35with Valentin.
18:36I know how much
18:36you miss him.
18:37I just can't get past
18:39this other night,
18:40you know?
18:41I was working,
18:42these guys were away,
18:43you were supposed
18:44to go to the quarter mains
18:45and be with my mother,
18:46and you were a no-show.
18:48So,
18:49where were you?
18:50You think that Portia's
18:54lying to you
18:55about being pregnant?
18:57No,
18:58but if she is,
18:59she hasn't told me.
19:01So,
19:01what,
19:01you mean it's a lie
19:03of omission?
19:05Well,
19:06we decided to get
19:07divorced together.
19:08We told Trina together,
19:10and not one time
19:11did she mention
19:11that she was pregnant
19:12with my child.
19:15I'm confused.
19:17Wait a minute.
19:18If she didn't tell you
19:20that she was pregnant,
19:21how do you know she is?
19:25Jordan.
19:27She confided in Jordan?
19:29They were at
19:30a quarter main tea party,
19:32and Jordan observed
19:33what she describes
19:35as obvious signs.
19:37Oh.
19:37So,
19:38she confronted Portia.
19:41And Portia confirmed it.
19:43Well,
19:44Portia's
19:45default isn't exactly
19:47honesty,
19:48and her and Jordan clash
19:50more often than not.
19:52And those
19:53clashes,
19:54my friend,
19:55as you must know,
19:57are due
19:57in a large part
19:58to you.
20:00Oh,
20:01it's everything
20:01that HR warns us about.
20:03Not only
20:04are Isaiah
20:05and I colleagues,
20:06but I'm the
20:07co-chief of staff.
20:08He is my subordinate.
20:09I can see how
20:11it would be complicated,
20:12but I,
20:13Dr. Gannon
20:14doesn't seem to have
20:14a problem with it.
20:16Well,
20:16he might
20:16when he finds out
20:18that I'm pregnant.
20:20And you're really
20:21not leaning towards
20:21one or the other
20:22in terms of the father
20:23in you?
20:24With the timing
20:25being what it is,
20:27it could be
20:28either one of them.
20:30But,
20:31I want to tell you,
20:32Ava,
20:32that I don't regret
20:33sleeping with Isaiah.
20:34for all intents
20:36and purposes,
20:37my marriage
20:38to Curtis
20:38was over.
20:41But,
20:42will Trina
20:43see it that way?
20:45I doubt it.
20:47She loves
20:47her father
20:48so much.
20:50And technically,
20:51Curtis and I
20:51aren't even divorced yet.
20:53If she finds out
20:54that I got pregnant
20:55by another man,
20:58what if she
20:58never forgives me?
21:04What happened
21:08with Nina?
21:14She's paying you
21:15to disappear?
21:17Nina doesn't want
21:18me working for her.
21:20But what she wants
21:20even more is
21:21for your alibi
21:23to go up in smoke.
21:24I can double
21:25whatever she's offering
21:26you if you stay in town.
21:29I spent way more
21:30than money now.
21:32It's Tracy.
21:34Isn't it?
21:35What?
21:36Have you hit your head?
21:38Of course I'm not
21:38the buyer.
21:39The buyer,
21:40the reason.
21:41She's been so
21:41unbelievably obnoxious
21:43to you
21:43that you would rather
21:44unload the house
21:46and everybody in it
21:46than actually deal
21:47with her.
21:48Okay,
21:48well,
21:48if that's true,
21:49rest assured
21:50that my mother
21:50has been kicked
21:51out of this house
21:52many times before.
21:54So,
21:54you don't need
21:55to sell the house
21:56just so you don't
21:57have to deal with her.
21:58Your loyalty
21:59is overwhelming.
22:01And what is
22:01your path to peace?
22:03Groveling
22:04at her feet?
22:05My handling
22:06of Ronnie
22:07was completely
22:08justified.
22:10Clearly.
22:12Tracy,
22:13as you have
22:14abundantly
22:16made clear,
22:19Monica gave me
22:20this house,
22:21but it is
22:23not my home.
22:25I received
22:27a very good offer
22:28and I was
22:29compelled to sell.
22:31Compelled
22:31by whom?
22:33That would be me!
22:42What's the problem
22:43with Rocco?
22:45I saw Lulu.
22:47Lucky you.
22:47Well,
22:49apparently,
22:50Rocco wasn't
22:51supposed to see us
22:52the other night.
22:53At dinner?
22:54Well,
22:54that sounds like
22:55a Lulu problem.
22:56It's not her fault
22:56she can't keep track
22:57of her own child.
22:58She was with
22:59Charlotte visiting
23:00Valentine.
23:01Okay,
23:01so Lulu was
23:02halfway around the world
23:03with her other child
23:04and it was a problem
23:07for Rocco
23:07to have dinner
23:08with us?
23:10No,
23:11he just wasn't
23:12supposed to have dinner
23:12with all of us.
23:14Remember?
23:15Rocco was meeting
23:16with Mom and me
23:17and we just happened
23:18to run into you
23:19at the Metro Corps.
23:20Oh,
23:21I see.
23:22So the problem
23:23is that Rocco
23:24dining with you
23:25or our mother,
23:28the problem is me.
23:29Weren't you and Danny
23:30helping Cody that night
23:31cleaning the stalls
23:32in the stables?
23:33Another reminder,
23:34can we see if I can
23:35run Hades again soon?
23:36He's my favorite.
23:39Yeah,
23:39of course.
23:41You know what?
23:41We should get in touch
23:42with Cody.
23:43If you were helping him,
23:44you should be compensated
23:45for that.
23:45Unless he,
23:46he paid you cash.
23:48Uh,
23:49no.
23:49Okay,
23:50then we should call him,
23:51right?
23:52It's fine,
23:53Dad,
23:53really.
23:54I like,
23:55um,
23:56helping Cody
23:56and Outback's
23:57with him
23:57at the stables.
23:58Uh-huh.
23:59Uh-oh,
24:00um,
24:00we forgot
24:01to organize
24:02Tracy's boxes
24:03on the front porch.
24:05We totally forgot.
24:06Right,
24:06yeah.
24:07And we better,
24:08we better take care
24:09of that.
24:09What is wrong with you?
24:16Me?
24:17Yes,
24:17you.
24:18What part of me
24:19wanting Rocco to come to us
24:20was unclear?
24:23Laura,
24:23we tried
24:24as hard as we could,
24:25and in the end,
24:27we,
24:27we,
24:27we,
24:28we,
24:28we,
24:28we couldn't find
24:30common ground
24:31and we couldn't
24:33communicate honestly.
24:34What about the Jordan
24:39part of it?
24:41Oh,
24:41you know our history.
24:44I feel this
24:45undeniable pull
24:47between us,
24:49but we haven't acted
24:50on that.
24:51Yeah,
24:51I,
24:51I believe you.
24:52I believe you.
24:53But that,
24:54uh,
24:55attraction
24:56that you feel
24:57to Jordan,
24:59I'm pretty sure
25:00that Portia
25:01will have noticed
25:02that and that,
25:03uh,
25:03well,
25:04it could have
25:04played a part
25:06and,
25:07and your communication
25:08is breaking down.
25:13Well,
25:14can't change
25:16what's happened now.
25:18No.
25:20I'm sorry.
25:22All we can do is
25:23move forward
25:25with honesty,
25:26and if Portia
25:28is pregnant,
25:29can't afford not to.
25:33If she's pregnant,
25:34what would that mean
25:36for the two of you
25:37going forward?
25:40I got a plan.
25:42Tell me,
25:43and I'll tell you
25:43if it's any good.
25:45Okay.
25:45Um,
25:46I don't tell
25:47Curtis and Isaiah
25:48that I'm pregnant
25:49until I make it
25:50through the first
25:51trimester.
25:51and then I get
25:53and then I get
25:53a paternity test
25:53done,
25:54find out who
25:55the father is
25:56and take it
25:57from there.
25:59That sounds
26:00simple enough.
26:01It would be.
26:02Except Jordan
26:03already suspects
26:04that I'm pregnant.
26:05She's probably
26:05telling Curtis
26:05right now.
26:06Oh.
26:07Or maybe not.
26:08If Jordan
26:09is really
26:10circling Curtis,
26:11the last thing
26:12she's going to
26:12want to do
26:13is tell him
26:13that you're pregnant,
26:14right?
26:14and send him
26:15running back
26:15to your arms?
26:16I don't know.
26:17I can't.
26:18I can't think
26:18about Jordan
26:18right now.
26:20I just,
26:20once I find out
26:23who the father is,
26:25if it's Curtis,
26:26we'll see what
26:27that means
26:28for my family.
26:30And if the baby
26:30is Isaiah's?
26:32I don't even know
26:33if he wants
26:33to be a father.
26:35But what I do know
26:36is that this news
26:38would be devastating
26:39for Trina.
26:41And that's why
26:42I need you, Ava.
26:44Is this the part
26:45where you tell me
26:46money can't buy
26:47happiness?
26:48It can come
26:49pretty close,
26:51but I don't think
26:52you're for sale.
26:53My website
26:54says otherwise.
26:55Yeah, that's not
26:56the whole story
26:56though, is it?
26:58And how would
26:59you know my story?
27:00The first woman
27:01I ever loved
27:02was an escort.
27:04She told me
27:05not to make
27:06assumptions about
27:07who she was
27:08based on what
27:09she did.
27:11Sounds like
27:11a wise woman.
27:13Yeah, she was.
27:14was?
27:18That's part
27:18of my story.
27:23Look, Nina and I,
27:24we can go back
27:25and forth
27:26trying to up the
27:26ante
27:27to secure
27:28your loyalty,
27:29but I don't think
27:30you could be bought.
27:32And even if you could,
27:33it wouldn't give me
27:33what I need.
27:35What's that?
27:36Your trust.
27:37And we have to
27:39want to help
27:39each other here.
27:41So I may have
27:42all the money,
27:43but Cindy,
27:44you have all the
27:45power.
27:46What do you want
27:47to do?
27:48This can't be true.
27:50You sold this
27:52house to Drew?
27:53Well, at least
27:54the house is staying
27:55in the family.
27:56Of course,
27:56the bad news is
27:57that y'all gotta
27:58move out.
27:59Ronnie,
28:00Ronnie,
28:00whatever bill of goods
28:01this one is selling you,
28:02I'm begging you,
28:03do not buy it.
28:04This guy is
28:05nobody's family.
28:06He's right.
28:07Drew's only loyalty
28:08is to himself.
28:09Now listen,
28:10there's still time
28:10to turn this around.
28:12There's not,
28:12though,
28:13because it's a done deal.
28:16This is my house.
28:17Ronnie is selling
28:18it to me.
28:20Why would you do this?
28:22You've heard about
28:22the destruction
28:23Drew has left
28:24in his wake,
28:25the harm that he's
28:26done to our family.
28:27My God,
28:28he seduced.
28:29Seduce Michael's wife.
28:30Yes,
28:31Ned,
28:31my God,
28:32doesn't it get tiring
28:33up on that pedestal
28:34of yours?
28:34Look,
28:34I just talked to Ronnie
28:36and I told her
28:36my side of the story
28:37and guess what happened?
28:38She listened
28:39because I was open
28:40and kind
28:41unlike some people.
28:44You see,
28:44the thing is,
28:45Ronnie and I
28:45are outsiders
28:46and we bonded
28:47because of it
28:48and in the end,
28:49she accepted
28:50my very generous offer
28:52to buy my mother's home.
28:54Isn't that right,
28:55Ronnie?
28:56I don't know.
28:57I don't know.
29:00Lulu has every right
29:01to still be angry
29:02with you.
29:02I mean,
29:03you...
29:03you stole
29:05and implanted
29:05her embryo.
29:06A million years ago.
29:07Yeah,
29:08well,
29:08now she's a loving mom
29:09who's very protective
29:10of her son.
29:11But Rocco doesn't need
29:12protecting from me.
29:13I have no ulterior motives
29:15other than to just
29:16get to know him better.
29:17I know that,
29:18but Lulu might not.
29:20Look,
29:21I...
29:21I came to you
29:23I came to you
29:23because I don't want
29:24there to be any conflict
29:24between our families.
29:26Am I right
29:27in assuming
29:28that you want
29:28what's best for Rocco?
29:30Of course I do.
29:31Then don't undermine
29:32his mother,
29:33all right?
29:35I thought we agreed
29:36to do this my way.
29:37I didn't agree
29:39to anything
29:39and I think you're forgetting
29:40that I'm a detective.
29:42And?
29:43Well,
29:43it's my job
29:43to get information
29:44on suspects
29:45and we almost had him.
29:46He was squirming.
29:46He was about to crack.
29:47Not if Charlotte
29:48had anything to say
29:49about it.
29:50No.
29:50Hey, you know
29:50she knew all
29:51about that dinner.
29:52Oh,
29:53I'm not sure
29:54if I should ground her
29:54for lying
29:55and be proud of her
29:56for protecting her brother.
29:57Maybe do a little bit of both.
29:59So what are we gonna do?
30:02Honestly,
30:03I don't know.
30:03I mean,
30:04it's not just
30:04your run-of-the-mill
30:05teenager stuff.
30:06It could be
30:07more dangerous
30:07than they know.
30:09What makes you say that?
30:11Britt does.
30:13I don't know
30:15what this means
30:16for Portia
30:17and me.
30:19But I do know
30:20I want this baby.
30:21Oh.
30:22I want this baby.
30:24Oh, dear.
30:26Yep,
30:27there's a baby.
30:28But I really
30:29do not want
30:30Portia
30:31to terminate.
30:33And that is
30:34completely valid.
30:36It really is.
30:38But you,
30:39you understand
30:41that ultimately
30:42it's Portia's decision,
30:44right?
30:44Yeah.
30:45Yeah.
30:46And I will do
30:47everything
30:48in my power
30:49to persuade
30:51Portia
30:51to go through
30:52with the pregnancy.
30:54Are you saying
30:54that you
30:56are willing
30:56to reconcile
30:57with Portia
30:58for the sake
30:59of the unborn child?
31:00how can I help
31:03with Trina?
31:04Well,
31:04I don't need you
31:05to defend
31:06my choices
31:06to her.
31:08But she is
31:09going to be her.
31:10So I'm going to need
31:11you to be there
31:11for her.
31:13Trina loves you.
31:15She's going to need
31:16your support.
31:17So I'll always
31:18be there
31:19for your daughter.
31:21Just so you know,
31:22Portia,
31:22I'm here for you
31:25too.
31:26However,
31:27this shakes out,
31:29you are not alone.
31:33If there's anything
31:33I can do,
31:34you just let me know.
31:35You might regret
31:36that offer.
31:37I don't think so.
31:39Portia,
31:40congratulations.
32:05Hey, hi.
32:09Fancy a drink
32:10upstairs?
32:12Oh,
32:12I wish I could,
32:13but between work
32:14and Willow's arrest,
32:16I'm barely
32:16treading water.
32:18Suit yourself.
32:20But you are missing
32:21some very interesting
32:23people watching
32:24up here.
32:27I never wanted
32:28to be a part
32:29of any of this.
32:30I...
32:31This is not
32:33my family.
32:33I don't want
32:34to be a part
32:35of your petty
32:36squabbles
32:37and your power plays.
32:40I am selling
32:41the house
32:41to Drew,
32:42then I'll be gone.
32:44And you can all
32:45go on with your life.
32:46So, in other words,
32:47you are abdicating
32:48the responsibility
32:50your sister left you
32:52and the honor
32:54she bestowed on you.
32:56What a surprise.
33:01Well,
33:01I can understand
33:02your desire
33:03to want to give
33:04your child
33:05a family unit
33:07that looks complete.
33:10But I would
33:12encourage you
33:13to really check out
33:14all your options
33:15because families
33:17come in all shapes
33:18and sizes,
33:19you know?
33:20I mean,
33:20look at mine.
33:21Yeah.
33:24Well,
33:25your family's
33:25lucky to have you.
33:28I'm lucky
33:28to have them.
33:31But I guess
33:31what I'm trying
33:32to say,
33:32Curtis,
33:33is that
33:34to stay
33:36in a marriage
33:37that's not
33:37working
33:38isn't fair
33:41to anybody.
33:43Least of all,
33:44a little baby,
33:45you know?
33:45so I just
33:49think you need
33:50to search
33:50your soul
33:51and just be
33:52really,
33:53really clear
33:54about what
33:54you want.
33:58What if
33:59what I want
34:00isn't possible?
34:02Which is?
34:05In a perfect world,
34:06of course,
34:07I want my baby,
34:09but
34:10I'd have
34:13Jordan, too.
34:15Got this, Terry?
34:21Not that I'm
34:22an expert,
34:23but you seem
34:24to know an awful
34:24lot about parenting
34:25for someone
34:26who's never
34:27raised a kid.
34:28I'm learning.
34:30And I kind of
34:31already know
34:31how Lulu feels.
34:34It's like the
34:35James.
34:35you know,
34:36Spinelli's a
34:37great guy.
34:38He's not his
34:38father.
34:39I'm his father.
34:41It's important
34:41that that
34:42relationship
34:42not be
34:43interfered with.
34:45Well,
34:46I can't speak
34:46to you and
34:47James,
34:47but how does
34:49it serve Rocco
34:50to have to
34:50manage his
34:51mother's
34:51massive
34:52insecurity?
34:53I mean,
34:54clearly,
34:54he wants to
34:55get to know
34:55me.
34:56We've only
34:56had pleasant
34:57interactions
34:57so far.
34:58What's the
34:58big deal?
34:59Lulu has
35:00valid reasons
35:01not to trust
35:02you,
35:02and on top
35:02of that,
35:04you have
35:04ties to
35:05dangerous
35:05people.
35:06So,
35:08cut her
35:08some slack.
35:09Okay,
35:10so if
35:10Ben,
35:12I mean,
35:12Rocco,
35:13reaches out
35:13to me,
35:14I'm supposed
35:15to turn
35:15him away?
35:16Yes.
35:16Yes.
35:16for the danger
35:22to Rocco
35:23was primarily,
35:24you know,
35:25emotional,
35:26but,
35:27you know,
35:27now it could
35:28be physical.
35:29What do
35:30you mean?
35:32Anna thinks
35:33that Britt
35:35and Nathan
35:35both resurfacing
35:36in tandem
35:37is not a
35:38coincidence,
35:38especially given
35:39their connection
35:40to Faison.
35:40Does Anna
35:41somehow think
35:42that Faison
35:43is responsible
35:43for Nathan
35:44going missing
35:45and Britt
35:45faking her
35:46own death?
35:47He's dead.
35:48Yeah,
35:49she doesn't know.
35:49No one does.
35:51But while Nathan
35:52doesn't want anything
35:53to do with Faison
35:54or his people...
35:55Britt has a whole
35:55another story.
35:56Yeah.
35:58I mean,
35:58the first time
35:58she left
35:59Port Charles
36:00was to take off
36:01with her dad.
36:03Really saved me,
36:04Anna.
36:05I tried.
36:06But we need
36:07to change tactics.
36:09What do you mean?
36:10You're going to admit
36:11to being at that dinner.
36:12No way.
36:13My parents will freak.
36:14They already know
36:15we're lying, Rocco.
36:16Admit to it
36:17and we deflect
36:18their attention
36:18from what we really
36:19don't want them
36:19to know about.
36:22I'm trying
36:22to be smart here.
36:24Play the long game.
36:25Which is better
36:26for me,
36:27you or Nina.
36:29Which way
36:29are you leaning?
36:31Nina's been fair,
36:33but I'm
36:34a commodity
36:34to her.
36:37You treat me
36:38like a person.
36:39I believe you
36:40when you say
36:40you're considering
36:41what's best
36:41for both of us.
36:44Your plan
36:45makes sense
36:45to me, Michael.
36:46I'm sticking
36:47with you.
37:04Isaiah.
37:09Isaiah.
37:10Hey.
37:11I just got back
37:11to the cabin.
37:13I thought you'd
37:14still be here.
37:15I had to come
37:16into the office
37:16to finish some paperwork,
37:18but I'll finish it up
37:19and then head
37:20right back to you.
37:21Okay.
37:22Sounds great.
37:24Oh, look.
37:25I got a box
37:25of Eckert's Pastries
37:27with your name on it.
37:29I can't wait
37:29to get back there.
37:30I'll see you soon.
37:37Curtis?
37:37What's going on?
37:40You tell me.
37:43Are you pregnant?
37:45Monica entrusted you
37:47with her home.
37:49And you betrayed
37:51that trust
37:52by selling it
37:53to this soulless weasel.
37:56Everything I said
37:57about you is true.
37:58You have no character,
37:59no integrity,
38:00and most of all,
38:02you have no connection
38:04to Monica.
38:07Monica kept this house
38:08in the family
38:10come hell or high water,
38:12and in mere weeks,
38:14you have done
38:14the one thing
38:15she never would have allowed.
38:17you gave it up.
38:22You dishonor Monica.
38:26And everything
38:27she stood for
38:27is shame on you.
38:35On the next
38:36General Hospital,
38:37my feelings for Curtis
38:38are stronger
38:39than they've ever been.
38:40So, is it true?
38:41Don't tell me.
38:42Not today.
38:43While I appreciate
38:45the gesture,
38:46it's too bad
38:46it was too late.
38:47How do you propose
38:48to do that?
38:49That depends on you.
38:51How do you propose
38:52to do that?
38:52That depends on you.
