00:00Come in, come in. It is so, so good to see you.
00:06Yeah, I know. I'm not interrupting any important city business, am I?
00:11No, no, nothing now. I'm glad you stopped by, you know, because lately you don't get home until after I've gone to bed and then I get up in the morning and you've already gone.
00:21You know, we don't get to see each other at all.
00:23No, no, no, I'm sorry. I've been keeping crazy hours because of, you know, the work that I've been doing.
00:30That's why I'm here, actually.
00:33Okay.
00:34Here goes.
00:36Um, I've been working with Jen Sidwell on behalf of Drew Cain for the upcoming Measure C vote.
00:43And I just want you to know that I have been encouraging them both to leave you and your relationship with Sonny well out of it.
00:50Wait, you're representing Drew again? I thought you told me you quit that job.
00:55I did. But I kind of unquit.
00:59Why? Why on earth would you do that, Martin?
01:03All right, I'm here. What do you want, Nina?
01:06Nice to see you, too.
01:08Look, I don't like this any more than you do, and I wouldn't have reached out if I wasn't so desperate.
01:14Desperate is your steady state these days, so I'm going to need a little bit more now.
01:20I want to know if Martin has made any progress on Willow's bail. Whatever it is, no matter how high, I will pay it.
01:27And you think I wouldn't?
01:29Willow is still not eligible for bail.
01:31Well, she can't stay in that horrible place much longer. What are we going to do?
01:38I'm going to tell the police that Michael shot me.
01:50What's going on?
01:52You just thought that we'd catch up?
01:54No.
01:54Just do me?
01:56Well, Dad, you know, I'm always happy to see you, but I get the feeling you have a little bit more on your mind than that.
02:05Can't it be both?
02:09Um, I'd like to talk to you about Willow's trial.
02:16I assume you've seen the media coverage.
02:19What do you mean, Willow's article suggesting Willow's not the person who shot Drew?
02:23Yeah, and she's saying that you were.
02:28Yeah, yeah, I'm not worried about it.
02:30Well, you should be, because her defense is going to be all over it.
02:35And her new lawyer does a damn good job.
02:40Who is it?
02:42Alexis.
02:43Mr. Sybil, this is a surprise.
02:54So, um, what can I help you with?
02:57Nothing, apparently.
02:59That's the issue.
03:00You've been no help at all.
03:02I'm here to inform you that we're undertaking a reorganization, and you're being replaced.
03:08You can't do that.
03:09I already have.
03:10No, no, no, I've been working on this project for years.
03:12I know it inside and out.
03:13There is no one who knows it like I do.
03:16Someone does.
03:21So this is the genius who's turned my father's work into a full-blown dumpster fire.
03:25Hello?
03:33Earth to Emma.
03:35I'm sorry.
03:39What is this?
03:40It's pumpkin.
03:41Your favorite.
03:42Consider it a little bribe to keep you coming back.
03:45Oh, no, I think I'd come back anyway.
03:47I think the help here is really cute.
03:49Cook will be very flattered when I tell him you said that.
03:51Hey, where were you a second ago?
03:55Seemed like you were a million miles away from here.
03:57I was thinking about Dalton.
03:59And?
04:00A window of opportunity has opened up.
04:03It's time to expose him and his unethical practices.
04:05Good morning and happy Halloween.
04:16Remind me.
04:18And save your fears for someone else.
04:21My life is nightmare enough.
04:25Okay.
04:26We can't keep living like this.
04:29We gotta get real here.
04:30More real than my back pain from this couch?
04:33You know, you should send this over to the PCPD.
04:36The confessions will come pouring out.
04:39Step Monster, I love you.
04:41And you are welcome to stay here as long as you need.
04:46But I do not love these boxes.
04:49They gotta go.
04:50Love me, love my boxes.
04:51I don't think my place is big enough for all that love.
04:55Can't we donate some of them or at least put them in storage?
05:00No, no, no, no, no.
05:01Oh, these boxes are filled with precious Quartermain heirlooms.
05:06Absolutely not.
05:10Uh, come in!
05:16Oh, wow.
05:18Oh, this is a lot of stuff.
05:21Looks like someone needs help with an estate sale.
05:24This is a lot.
05:27SHANE GROANS
05:32SHANE GROANS
05:35Shall we?
05:36SHANE GROANS
05:41SHANE GROANS
05:57uh no sorry to disappoint my name's not joey oh no i i apologize i thought that you were
06:14someone that i used to know you know well maybe we did know each other in another life
06:23either way uh we can know each other now i'm jack brennan oh hi ronnie bard nice to meet you
06:30jack hi hi who's your friend uh well this is ronnie bard we just met oh yeah my son has told me all
06:44about you i gotta go make yourself at home lucy oh i really wish you wouldn't okay
06:52okay she's good oh thank you look i'm thinking what mid-century modern maybe or what about
07:03new construction how about a flaming moat you know what you tracy quatermain are extreme
07:11victorian through and through and i happen to know just the place
07:16so i'm gonna stop by dalton's office before my first class just to see if he needs help with
07:25anything
07:26i really need to use the time that i have left as his assistant to gain access to the lab
07:34and then once i get inside i can find the evidence that he's testing on animals
07:38all right when my shift's over i'll come with you i'll run interferes if things get dicey
07:43really appreciate it i think it's better if i go alone why
07:48because i may need to appeal to dalton's giant ego and flirt with them to get access
07:54and i can't have you stepping in to rescue me you really think i'd do that yeah i don't really
08:00think you could stop yourself your protective streak is part of what makes you such an amazing
08:05guy but i can't have it or you interfere with my plan for dalton so what you you you flirt with
08:12them and then and then i get inside and i find the proof that i need the problem is that the key
08:17i lifted from bonn isn't going to get me in dalton changed to some new electronic lock so now i have
08:23to use a key fob to get in i know how important this is to you and i and i know that you can handle
08:29yourself and dalton even though i i hate that you have to do that just just please text me so i know
08:37where you are what you're doing i will but i should go okay be safe
08:44actually forgot something
08:53i've heard a hundred excuses and i'm tired of your failure to make progress i believe that dr westbourne
09:09will provide sufficient motivation to expedite your labors well i'm sorry but i don't like to
09:14work with people i highly know okay well suck it up buttercup i don't like to work with anyone at
09:19all i do my best work alone okay enough this is not a democracy you'll both do what you're told
09:26and don't worry dalton you won't be working with brit you'll be working for her for me got it
09:32dr westbourne is highly incentivized to bring this project to its worthy conclusion and we both know
09:40that you are being handsomely rewarded for your continuing involvement and i trust that neither of
09:46you need more encouragement to bring this project to its swift and successful end but if you do
09:54lose i'd be happy to provide it you remember michael shooting you well not exactly after the first
10:05shot hit me in the back it's all still a blank but that is not what i'm going to tell the police that's
10:09just brilliant that's brilliant willow is being held without bail she's going to be on trial for
10:17shooting you and there is no way that you can suddenly come forward claiming that you have this newly
10:22restored memory that just so happens exonerates the woman that you love and condemns the man that
10:28you okay that's what martin said you're going to be left out of the pcpd it was a huge mistake for me
10:36to lie and give willow that alibi and it's going to be an even bigger one if you lie for her now if you
10:43do this it's going to backfire and willow is going to rot in prison and never see her children again
10:52it's a curveball sure but that's not over yet i'm going to tell you something i need you to listen
10:59i'm going to give it to you straight willow has been through a lot and alexis is going to use all
11:07of it the fact that shiloh victimized her she lost a child how hard she fought to beat cancer and she's
11:15going to turn that around and compare that to your life of privilege of wealth quarter main heritage your
11:24connection to me this is all in willow's favor and it draws the wrong attention to you
11:33you know i had a pretty good idea about how people view me and my ex-wife
11:44i said no my father would be one of them
11:49drew may be the worst of the worst and i mean he's as dirty as they come but there is nothing
11:54in the legal profession requires me to actually like my clients at all yeah i guess you're right
12:01i mean i guess we all kind of work with people every day we wouldn't eat lunch with if we didn't
12:06have to thank you yeah okay good good good but don't break any laws okay i won't it's not for true
12:16cane he's joke joke yeah joke good yeah better be a joke okay and thanks for the notice about the
12:25measure seething at this point you know what no matter how it goes i don't even care anymore i just wanted to
12:30be over hey mom hello if it is my beautiful niece this is a wonderful surprise however
12:39i gotta get going so i'll leave you to it and laura i'll see you at home maybe bye martin
12:49hey it's good to see you sweetheart tell me something do we have plans that i forgot about no
12:58no no no no i just need advice and you're the person i trust most to be honest with me about it
13:04what is it it's rocco and charlotte they're lying to me no matter what willow has done
13:14her struggle with mental health is tough what is so sympathetic about a woman who slept with her
13:22husband's uncle okay she exploited my hospitalization took my kids across state line without my permission
13:28she's talking to daisy you don't know i can prove everything else okay
13:35that's what i'm talking about that anger that intensity coming from your voice
13:45if alexis puts you on the stand and you talk like that the jury will know
13:51that you could have shot someone and i'm talking about drew
13:59i'm sorry i don't mean to be rude but i don't know who your son is michael corinthos
14:05monica's grandson oh michael he is such a lovely guy he is yeah it's too bad you're kicking him out of
14:13his house michael's being forced to leave the quarterman estate why no it's not personal okay
14:22i'm i'm selling the house which is bad enough because you could have sold it to michael whose
14:27kids grew up there and who so badly wanted to buy it so he could honor his grandmother
14:33but instead you're selling it to drew and who the hell knows what he's gonna do with it
14:37well i'm truly sorry if my decision has caused michael or any of the quarter mains any pain but
14:46look i just came here to say goodbye to my sister and her leaving the house was
14:52completely unexpected you know i i i need to let it go and move on you may want to let the house go
15:01but i know the quarter mains they're not gonna let you just move on excuse me
15:14did i hear that right you're selling the quarterman estate
15:20i know this is very very hard for you there will never ever be another house
15:26like the quarter main mansion i know that and you know that and you love that house i get it and
15:33actually i i love the house too when ellen was kicking me out i kept thinking i'm gonna miss this
15:38house and that gorgeous staircase you were married to my brother for five minutes and unlike myself you
15:46deserve to be kicked out you were nothing but an opportunistic gold digger just like ronnie
15:51barred wow why do you why do you do that all the time why do you dwell on the worst moments when
15:59they're actually sometimes some good moments to be seen like for example alan and i did have some good
16:05moments um our wedding day we worked together at the nurses ball that was great and then toward the end
16:11you know we got to kind of a goodish place really yes really which brings me to this topic monica's funeral
16:25look you said at the funeral that with monica gone was going to be really hard because you wouldn't have
16:33anybody to talk to or share memories about alan and edward and lila and it really hurt me gee you seem
16:45fine i think about alan i miss alan but even more i'm i really do miss edward and lila i'm so fond of i
16:56was so fond of them and um you know we could talk we could share memories of them i would be happy to
17:04talk about them anytime you want you can't keep doing this you know i know you're hurting but you keep
17:10pushing people away you're gonna keep living in this grief you are not gonna get any better if you have to
17:18face all of this alone
17:27i found out from nathan that rocco had dinner with him brit and obrecht
17:38and i guess rocco didn't tell you about it nope and then when dante and i confronted him about it
17:44rocco lied right to our faces and charlotte backed him up and gave him cover wow the lying is not a
17:50good thing no but it sounds like the kids are just trying to protect each other you know they've always
17:58had such a strong bond and also if i'm being honest it sounds a little like they might be trying to
18:04protect you that is a good thing isn't it i think it's just it's less about them
18:11protecting me i'm more about them walking on eggshells around me rocco's keeping secrets
18:19and i suspect that charlotte isn't being completely honest with me about
18:23how much she misses valentine or about how upset she is that she doesn't get to see him more often it
18:27just it feels like that neither of my kids is comfortable being honest around me mom it hurts and
18:39that's gotta be hard it's gotta be really hard but it may not be the case you know it may not just
18:47try to remember that before you jump to conclusions especially something that's such a painful conclusion
18:58yeah i just need to
18:59be honest with myself so i can deal with this charlotte is drawn to valentine and
19:10rocco is drawn to brit and even though i know that they are both terrible influences i cannot deny that
19:17they both hold major parts of my children's lives i'm so sorry sweetheart so sorry it's just everyone
19:28thinks that i am so strong and i like to think that i am but this is tearing me apart i have told my kids
19:40that i love them and that i trust them unconditionally but it's not enough
19:46i can feel the most slipping away oh sweet girl
19:57even if i don't go to the place about michael
20:00i will find another way to help willow and you will not be a part of it because you've already done
20:05enough damage betraying willow by recanting your alibi you are the last person to lecture anyone about
20:12betraying willow you know i am so sick and tired of hearing about what a hero you are and your endless
20:19plans to save willow that somehow never pan out you know drew your savior act is wearing so thin
20:31if you have any hope at all of getting back into willow's life it will only happen
20:35if i get behind it too so if i were you i'd start showing me a whole lot more gratitude
20:48ah father-son breakfast hell nice what do you want
20:53not sure if you're aware that in a few short hours ronnie bard and i will be signing the papers
20:59that gives me ownership of the quarter main estate yeah yeah i'm aware oh good good because
21:06i just thought maybe you might want to be there for it i know i'd love to have you there otherwise
21:10i'd have to imagine the look on your face the moment you realize it's all officially mine
21:16i guess that means you're still thinking about it enjoy your breakfast
21:30you know what we baited you pretty hard you just sat there and did nothing that's a good thing
21:37no thanks it's gonna be a lot harder to do with the signing are you gonna be able to watch and take
21:46the house i don't want to but i owe it to my grandmother to bear witness to it yes i am selling the
21:57quarter main estate why last i heard you were trying to make it work with the queues well that was my
22:04intention you know but i received an all cash offer and for someone in my position that's just too
22:11much to turn down please rethink this i mean that that place is the family home it means so much to
22:17the queues i know that they can be alive first i do but once you get used to them and they they
22:25you'll see that they're all good people really even tracy well technically i am keeping the house
22:30in the family no no drew isn't one of them not really your sister banned him from the estate he
22:39he tried to bulldoze the family crypt does that sound like someone who who cares about the family and
22:45and the house look i'm sorry okay i know i keep saying that but i really am and and i realize this is
22:52very hard on everybody but the sale's already in motion can you stop it at home and its history
23:02deserve better so does monica i know you had a genuine fondness for my parents and your own
23:12own unique kind of love for alan this is all that's left of them it's hard to believe
23:22they were so much more than all this stuff
23:30um i will deny that i said this and uh hope you don't repeat it because it would be career
23:37suicide for a real estate agent but uh in the end a house just a house
23:48all those wonderful memories
23:52they're outside those four walls they're in your heart
23:58oh i know this this this had to be lila's right i bet it has an amazing history it does
24:14oh wow
24:17oh this is an edwards bible it meant so much this is my father's prize possession
24:22our family tree is written inside of it monica and i kept updating it after he died good i'm sure you
24:31did i'm sure you did i'm sure you did oh wow that this this right here that has got to have
24:39very fond memories it does
24:45alan used to set it up every christmas and say it was for the children
24:48and with that meant that he would um
24:53he would allow the children to watch him while he played with it because he said he made him feel like
25:03a kid
25:08what
25:11nothing just for a minute there you know looking at you i um i could
25:17see you seeing
25:20you and alan around the christmas tree
25:23maybe
25:26didn't that feel good just for a minute having that little memory just for that precious precious moment
25:33and didn't it feel even better to share that moment with someone who actually knew alan too
25:38okay um i won't take any credit for that
25:50your children are not slipping away from you okay what they're doing is they're trying to learn how to
25:56juggle something that is important to them without hurting the person they love the most in the world
26:06maybe yeah you know what you could do you could be even more proactive what i'm thinking is that you could
26:15actually extend the invitations to brit and to valentine and then be there be present
26:23right there with them for these meetings
26:25because if you do that there's no room for secrets or lies
26:33it's just that brit and valentine stole
26:37so much time from me with my children that i'll never get back being
26:40pleasant with them in conversations is easier said than done but the important things usually are
26:48you know so i'm afraid this time it's on you to be the bigger person but it will absolutely bring
26:57you closer to your kids it will close that emotional gap i hate being the bigger person
27:04me too but i think you are on to something you forget tired of being right
27:16not yet i was under the impression there was no love lost between you and michael's extended family
27:23my relationship with the quarter mains has always been complicated and i have always wanted michael out
27:29of that house so i guess in that sense i'm getting what i want you just didn't want it this way no
27:34michael loves that house now it's going to drew it just feels like another loss and he's already
27:40had so many this year be careful what you wish for huh exactly you know there's a reason i
27:53asked the universe for it right just like i asked the universe for a good man
27:59one one that i could trust completely
28:05and it sent me you
28:12i know i like to complain about all the people that were living in the quarter main
28:21mansion but you know what it really wasn't that bad there was always somebody to have a cup of tea with
28:26and fighting and driving each other crazy it's just what families do especially your family yeah
28:32it was our specialty okay then if you really want all that chaos again you can have it just not in that
28:41house you can make another home and you can get everybody together to do that and think about it
28:46think about those fresh walls that really have never heard a true yelling family argument like that
28:55you're right
28:57well that is another thing i will keep to myself you can show me more houses yes i uh
29:08i need some privacy i have to go through these boxes and decide what to do with everything it's not
29:13going to be easy but i have to do it
29:26oh hello michael hi i i hope it's okay that i'm here i just came to grab a few things and
29:35say goodbye to the house i know drew's coming and you're making the sale today that's right we are
29:46ronnie whatever drew's paying you i'll pay you more just name your prices please don't do this okay
29:53no what's done is done something else is going on here if this was just about money you'd be more
29:58than happy to hear a competing offer i have stuff to do before they get here you said you wanted to
30:05learn more about your sister i knew my grandmother really well and i'm telling you this is not what
30:12she would have wanted ronnie this house was her sanctuary and before she got sick she'd she'd walk
30:22these grounds every morning she said the sun on the lake it sued her soul after she got sick she'd
30:29watch that sunrise from her bedroom just to watch it dance across the water and most of the times jason
30:36was with her sometimes i was ronnie you wanted to learn more about monica and i have to believe that
30:45you have given what you know now do you really think that she would want you to sell this place to
30:52someone she wouldn't even allow inside of it michael i'm i'm so sorry there is something else going on
31:04here but i meant too far over my head not to sell to drew hello hi happy halloween same to you
31:22actually i'm glad you're here i um i have some potential information that might interest you
31:29it concerns your daughter now i know you two have a lot to talk about so i'll leave you to it
31:46i apologize if i seem harsh my uh my problem is not with you
31:50let's be simple whatever just leave me out of it next time actually uh
32:01i have a better idea how about we leave symbol out of it
32:09he's lovely
32:09can we talk well i mean with everything that's going on with michael and willow i don't think it's
32:21a good idea do you i understand that but this concerns them there might be a way that we can protect
32:29both of them make it quick okay
32:33well you and i both know sunny that besides willow michael is the obvious suspect in drew's shooting but
32:42there's someone else who could have done it for reasons that no one else knows about
32:50but maybe it's time that someone did
32:53ronnie please just tell me what's going on okay i promise i can help you
33:04michael had my doubts that you were going to show up but i'm so happy you're here you get to witness
33:09me signing the papers that hands this house over to me and then i get to witness you walking off the
33:15grounds never to return it must tear you up though knowing that i'm making my home in your old house with
33:21willow and your kids okay you know what that's enough you got what you wanted you don't have to
33:29rub it in this face okay okay everybody let's just take a deep breath let's get the paperwork signed
33:37shall we right right please think about monica i think about how much this meant to her is this really
33:44what you want to do michael i'm sorry this house has to go to true
34:00valentine wants another visit with charlotte
34:04absolutely not charlotte is not flying all the way to switzerland again she has a life here and she
34:10needs stability not to be dragged into whatever games you and valentine are playing would you feel
34:15differently if valentine was stateside
34:21the research that we're doing here well it has the potential to recalibrate the entire energy
34:29landscape and there are people that would pay an obscene amount of money for it i'm aware of the
34:35financial upside well that's good isn't it then you must have asked yourself the question why is it
34:41that we do all the hard work while sidwell and company while they just sit back and
34:46reap all the profits it's not really fair is it it's our genius it's powering this entire enterprise
34:54so what all we have to do is circumvent them and take it to a third party and then
34:59well i suppose we could secure a payout that would set us both up for life i'm sorry i'm like
35:09rich what the hell are you doing with professor dalton
