00:00Olivia, where's my dad?

00:02Did you have said on the phone that he had a heart attack?

00:04Is he okay?

00:05I don't know.

00:06They said it's pretty severe.

00:07He is going to need bypass surgery.

00:09What?

00:10Dr. Robinson!

00:11Sorry, is Ned okay?

00:13But please tell me that my dad's gonna be okay.

00:15He is in critical but stable condition.

00:18We're giving him oxygen and medication to help improve the blood flow to his heart.

00:22When is Ned supposed to have surgery?

00:23We still need to run a few more tests.

00:26I'm sorry, didn't Lucas say that his L.A.D. artery is completely blocked?

00:29What does that even mean? Is that true?

00:31We're waiting on confirmation from the cardiologist.

00:34But based on initial tests, yes, that is correct.

00:38It means Ned had a Widowmaker heart attack.

00:41You need to operate immediately.

00:45Well, happy to see you are hydrating.

00:49Mouth gets dry when you're nervous.

00:52Can't have that during a debate.

00:54And you should be nervous.

00:55See that crowd out there?

00:57Huge turnout.

00:59That's the good news, Ezra.

01:01Mm-hmm.

01:02Yeah, democracy works best.

01:04When the voters are engaged.

01:06Indeed he do.

01:08And they will be fully engaged when I tell them that your police commissioner went MIA

01:12and you replaced her with the son of the local crime boss.

01:17And here I thought that you were going to focus on the issues for once.

01:21Your relationship with Sonny Carinthos is the issue.

01:23And it's going to be your downfall.

01:32Now, I wouldn't worry about that old gas bag baby sister.

01:36Now, he's all talk.

01:37Okay.

01:38I know you're angry with me, but I am here to offer you some support.

01:48If you want it.

01:50Ghost seems clear.

01:51Was this supposed to be this easy?

01:53Don't jinx us.

01:54You're right.

01:54Well, Emma said security was supposed to be focused on Grandma's debate in Peterson Hall.

01:59And she's right.

01:59Yeah.

02:00I know Emma didn't want us to break in on our own, but this looks like her best chance

02:03to prove Dalton's legally testing on animals.

02:05She's not going to care what we did or how once we bring her the proof she needs.

02:09I mean, do you have Britt's key fob?

02:10Yeah.

02:11It's right here.

02:11Sweet.

02:15That help?

02:16Here, let me try.

02:16Let me try.

02:17Are you sure this is the right one?

02:21It's the only one she had.

02:32Ready?

02:33Let's go.

02:37Heard you managed to get Willow released on bail.

02:40Nice work, Alexis.

02:41I'm so glad you're pleased.

02:42I'll be pleased when I actually see her.

02:45She hasn't come home yet, so I thought maybe she was here.

02:49She's not hiding anywhere.

02:52Any idea where she is?

02:54All I know is she had something important to do.

03:06Didn't your mother teach you to knock?

03:10Robbie!

03:15You want me to leave, I'll understand.

03:21No.

03:23Of course not.

03:29That's a relief.

03:30I was starting to think you were never going to speak to me again after I falsified Monica's

03:34will to spite Tracy.

03:36Not to mention forcing Ronnie to sell a home she didn't legally own to Drew.

03:42Yeah, after that.

03:44Yeah.

03:44Well, I think I told you how disappointed I was about all of that, but you're my brother.

03:52I'm not going to kick you out of my life.

03:54Kick me out of your house, though.

03:57With good reason.

03:58I know, I know, I know.

03:59Okay, I surrender.

04:02I know, I messed up badly.

04:04Yeah.

04:05So I want to make some amends, you know?

04:06Be a better brother.

04:08That's why I'm here tonight.

04:09Although, I've got to be honest, I already know who I'm going to vote for.

04:13I appreciate that.

04:14Yeah.

04:15I can't stay for the debate, but I think I can offer you a couple pointers on how to

04:20handle old Ezra.

04:24Isn't that going to get you in trouble with Drew?

04:26He's worked awfully hard to get old Ezra elected.

04:29Congressman pays my bills, but that's all.

04:33There's not enough money on this earth to make me turn my back on my baby sister.

04:39My loyalty to you comes first.

04:44Close the door behind you in case security makes a circuit.

04:51The lights should be around here somewhere.

04:53Found it.

04:57Whoa.

04:59Oh my God.

05:00Where are all the animals?

05:04Is Brent right?

05:04Should my dad be in surgery right now?

05:06A coronary artery bypass is a very complicated operation.

05:10We want to make sure that it's absolutely necessary.

05:12Now, if the block is less severe, we might be able to insert a stent.

05:17You're being overly cautious and that could prove fatal.

05:20Britt, can I have a word?

05:21I'm just trying to get them-

05:22Right now.

05:29You are way out of line.

05:31You need to get Ned into the OR right now.

05:33No, what I need to do is stop you from scaring that family.

05:36I am telling them the truth.

05:37The truth is, you're a disgraced OB-GYN busted down to a ward clerk.

05:41You are not authorized to treat patients.

05:44Like it or not, it's my call. It's not yours.

05:47Get Ned into surgery and I'd like it just fine, okay?

05:50And just so you know, if it weren't for me, he may not even have made it to the hospital.

05:54And you're right.

05:54And now that he's here, you need to step back and let me handle it.

05:59Then handle it already, okay? Because your inaction could get him killed.

06:03Mommy, I missed you so much.

06:06Sweetheart, I've missed you too.

06:08I thought she was imprisoned.

06:11I guess she made bail.

06:14Daddy, look who I found!

06:16Wow, this is quite the surprise.

06:21For both of us.

06:22I heard my mom brought Wiley here.

06:24I had no idea I'd find him here with you and your...

06:28friend.

06:29Mommy, this is Jacinda.

06:31Oh, I know all about Jacinda.

06:33We met once before.

06:35Although I almost didn't recognize her with so many clothes on.

06:42Are you trying to get yourself fired?

06:44Uh, break.

06:44Hey, I was just gonna get some fresh air.

06:46Why don't you come with me?

06:48You know, all this tension can make a bad situation worse.

06:52I just need to let everybody breathe and we can wait at Bobby's until we hear something.

06:58I think that's a good idea.

07:00We've done enough for one day.

07:02Fine, I'll meet you outside.

07:11When Ju and I found Ned outside, I was totally freaked out.

07:14But not Gio.

07:16Just jumped in the house.

07:17No, I just knew I had to do something.

07:20But if you hadn't gone inside to grab Britt, things would have turned a whole lot worse for Grandpa.

07:26Are you sure this is the right lab?

07:28I mean...

07:29The key fob works.

07:30This has to be it.

07:30Maybe they'll move the animals.

07:32Or maybe Emma got this all wrong.

07:34Maybe we should just get out of here.

07:35Not yet, okay?

07:36Let's dig around and see if there's any evidence that Dalton's been secretly testing on animals.

07:40This could take a while.

07:41Charlotte and I can search.

07:42You should go.

07:43What if you're staying that I'm staying?

07:45Annie, don't risk it.

07:46You've been in trouble before.

07:47Yeah, if we end up getting caught, you have a lot more to lose than we'll do.

07:50Like Scout, Drew doesn't need another reason to keep you from seeing her.

07:53Thank you for looking out for me.

07:55I'm not leaving.

07:56We're in this together.

07:57Besides, it'll be a lot faster with the three of us.

07:59Okay then.

08:01Let's get started.

08:02Let's go.

08:06Well, now that I'm here, we might as well discuss Willow's defense strategy.

08:10Yeah, I'm not discussing that with you.

08:13Willow is my client.

08:15You are not.

08:16I am footing the bills though, right?

08:19And your access to Scout depends on my goodwill.

08:23I'm well aware.

08:25Well, then you're also aware that I could choose to enforce the restraining order at any time.

08:31Yes, you've made it abundantly clear that our dynamic is extortion-based.

08:37Even so, if you're looking to dictate my defense's strategy, there's the door.

08:43I'm not looking for the X's and O's of the entire game plan here, Alexis.

08:46I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page.

08:49I will do everything in my power as Willow's attorney to exonerate her.

08:54And you'll do that by implicating Michael, correct?

09:01Yes, I will bring up Michael as an alternative suspect.

09:06And everyone else who could have possibly shot you.

09:09It's good to see you again, Willow.

09:12It seems a lot has changed since we last ran into each other.

09:16Clearly.

09:18Although it appears you're in the same line of work.

09:20Actually, I've taken a new position as an assistant for your mom at Crimson.

09:27That's great.

09:32I'm guessing you had something to do with that.

09:35Hey, Wiley, this has been so much fun, buddy.

09:38But, you know, it's getting kind of late.

09:40I think maybe we should wrap this up, yeah?

09:42But, Mom, we just got here.

09:44I know, but it's almost your bedtime.

09:46So, say goodnight, okay?

09:48Okay.

09:49I'm so happy I got to see you.

09:52I've been worried about you ever since Uncle Dante took you away.

09:56Sweetheart, you don't have to worry about me anymore.

10:01I'm back.

10:03And I'm not going away.

10:05Okay.

10:06Ever again.

10:09Do you believe the way Portia treated me?

10:11How disrespectful can one person be?

10:13And considering the secret I'm keeping for her, I'm not smart.

10:15I don't need to really know about any secrets,

10:17but it just seemed like Portia was acting in the best interest of the hospital.

10:20She was trying to shield G.H. and you from a major lawsuit.

10:24Please.

10:25The board may not have reinstated me, but I am a damn good doctor.

10:30Okay.

10:31Nobody's saying otherwise.

10:32Then why am I working as a glorified receptionist?

10:36I hate my stupid job.

10:39I hate the room above this diner.

10:41I hate you for making me come back to Port Charles.

10:44That's not exactly how I remember it.

10:47Okay, you may not have kidnapped me, but you basically gave me no other option but to come back here.

10:52I had a good thing going at the Five Poppies until you showed up and ruined everything.

10:56So, what?

10:57You're saying you wish she still worked for Pascal?

11:02I'm just saying I wish I was anywhere but Port Charles.

11:05Well, I'm grateful you're here.

11:08And I bet Ned is too.

11:11I just received the results of Ned's coronary angiogram and it confirmed there is full blockage in his biggest artery.

11:21Which means that 50% of the blood flowing to his heart has been cut off.

11:26Oh, my God.

11:27So, Hope definitely need bypass surgery then?

11:29Unfortunately so.

11:30He's being moved to the OR as we speak.

11:34Olivia, would you mind coming with me to sign some paperwork so we can get started?

11:38Of course. Whatever you need, Doc.

11:40Please, Dr. Robinson, tell me the truth.

11:44Is my dad going to make you?

11:46I promise you.

11:47I'm going to do everything that I can to make sure that your dad pulls through.

11:51Thank you, Dr. Robinson.

11:56Give your sister a big hug and kiss for me, okay?

12:06I will.

12:07Okay, Wiley. Time to go, buddy.

12:09Is Jacinda coming with us?

12:11I want to show myself Spider Fred.

12:14Yeah.

12:15Yeah, sure.

12:17I mean, if that's okay with you.

12:20Of course.

12:21I'd love to meet Fred.

12:22Yay!

12:23Bye, Mommy.

12:24Bye, kiddo.

12:25I'll see you soon.

12:30Our son is just a little boy.

12:31How could you expose him to a sex worker?

12:34As opposed to a would-be murderer?

12:37Michael, it can't continue.

12:39It just can't.

12:40Yeah, well, you don't have much of a say in the matter, do you?

12:43I know you framed me.

12:45I never dreamed you were capable of something like that, or that things as bad as they are would devolve to this.

12:54But I know you put that gun in my room, and Alexis and I will prove it.

13:00And then you'll be the one left out in the cold.

13:09I don't want you introducing any other suspects besides Michael. By the time Willow is acquitted, I want the police there waiting to slap the cuffs on my nephew.

13:18What is your priority here? Is it exonerating Willow, or is it convicting Michael?

13:23I don't see why it can't be both.

13:25Well, then you need to look a little harder, because my priority is to convince a jury that Willow is innocent.

13:30And anything other than that is a distraction that could cost her her freedom.

13:33Well, then maybe you need a little bit of help.

13:36You know, fresh set of eyes.

13:38As it happens, I've already asked Martin Gray to be your co-counsel.

13:41He'll be here later to see you.

13:42Oh, hell no. I do not need co-counsel.

13:45Kind of sounds like you do.

13:48That way, you can focus on proving that Willow's innocent, and Martin can focus on proving that Michael shot me.

13:57You aren't getting this at all.

14:00You've got the rest of your life to go after Michael.

14:02I've got one shot to free Willow.

14:05And if you insist on pushing your agenda, there's a very good chance she's going to end up in prison.

14:12I think I'm really facing an uphill battle here tonight.

14:15Ezra's got some major ammunition that he can use against me.

14:18What are you talking about?

14:20Oh, that's right. You don't know.

14:21Okay, there's been a change of leadership over at the PCPD.

14:25Anna Devane had to go on special assignment for the WSB,

14:28so I had to appoint an acting police commissioner.

14:32So who'd you put in charge?

14:34Well, I wanted Max Scorpio, of course, because he is the first choice.

14:37So I went to him, and the thing is that he has to commute back and forth to Boston so that he can see his daughter, and so he declined.

14:46Disappointing, but not surprising.

14:48Yes, I agree. I agree.

14:49So?

14:50So, I appointed the next most qualified person available, and that is Dante Falconeri.

14:59Sonny's son.

15:01Oh.

15:03Okay, just say it.

15:04You can say it.

15:05No, it's political suicide, right?

15:06Don't jump down my throat.

15:07I didn't go there.

15:08You've got to admit, you know, the optics aren't that great.

15:11But it's okay.

15:12Look, I know you well enough to know.

15:13You don't base your decisions on what's politically expedient.

15:16You base them on what's right.

15:19Yeah.

15:20Except Ezra Royal's not going to spin it that way.

15:23He's going to say that it's another sign that I'm in Sonny's pocket.

15:27Which means you are going to have to defend your decision based on the facts.

15:33So, I tell you what.

15:36Come here, come here, come here.

15:37Let's get started.

15:39Mayor Collins, please, tell me, by all means, why on earth did you select, of all people, Dante Falconeri?

15:46Because he has years of dedicated service to the PCPD.

15:49He has more commendations than I can count.

15:51He has a sterling review report.

15:54And because he's very highly thought of amongst his peers.

15:57All right.

15:58There you go.

15:59You're gorgeous.

16:00Come on, man.

16:01That's pretty solid reasoning to me.

16:03And I'll bet you cash money.

16:04The people of Port Charles are going to see it the same way.

16:07I wish I was as confident as you are.

16:11But listen, there's something else that I'm kind of concerned about.

16:14You know, Dante is my grandson's father.

16:17But what?

16:18You think that Ezra's going to start whining about nepotism?

16:21Oh, I know he is.

16:23I know he is.

16:24But the thing is, what I'm really concerned about is that Rocco is also Sonny's grandson.

16:31Right?

16:32Huh.

16:33I'm concerned that Rocco might get caught in the crossfire.

16:36You guys find anything?

16:39No.

16:40Nothing that indicates Dalton's been testing on animals.

16:43I mean, I found some of Dalton's research, but it's just equations.

16:46I don't even understand them.

16:47Hold on that.

16:48Upside down.

16:49Oh.

16:50Yeah.

16:51Yeah, that didn't even help.

16:52Well, this was a total fail.

16:53Let's get out of here.

16:54Let's get out of here.

17:00Let's.

17:19Hello, I got your message.

17:20Is everything okay?

17:21What happened?

17:22No, I just had a terrible run-in with Michael.

17:26He won't believe what he did now.

17:28Try me.

17:31I...

17:32As soon as I made bail, I called the quarter mains to check in on the kids.

17:35And thankfully, Yuri picked up because besides Chase,

17:38he's the only person in that house who actually respects the fact that I'm Wiley and Amelia's mother.

17:42What did he say?

17:43He told me that Nina had picked up Wiley and brought him here.

17:47I thought it would be the perfect chance to see my son, but when I walked in...

17:52Wiley was sitting eating ice cream with...

17:55Michael and that hooker that Nina paid to drug you.

17:58Michael was here with Jacinda?

17:59Yes.

18:00They were sitting here acting like some pseudo-family.

18:04There was nothing I could do about it.

18:07Is this your daughter's artwork?

18:09What?

18:10Is it hard to believe that I could have drawn something this amazing?

18:15A little.

18:18Did Wiley finally give up and go to sleep?

18:20It took some wrangling.

18:22He was still pretty hopped up on the sugar from his ice cream sundae.

18:25The man likes his classic toppings.

18:27The classics do have a lot of sugar in them.

18:29Yeah, I should probably not make hot fudge much of a habit before bed.

18:34But you would be pleased to know that he thinks you have excellent taste in toppings.

18:40Something he and I have in common.

18:43He was also really excited that you were happy to meet Fred.

18:46It was a brief meeting, but memorable just the same.

18:51Wiley's a really sweet kid, Michael.

18:55Yeah, he is, isn't he?

18:57He was really impressed by you tonight.

19:00And so was I.

19:02You handled Mina and Willow perfectly.

19:05I still have a hard time doing that.

19:07I have a lot more practice than you.

19:09I just didn't want to spill ice cream on myself.

19:12But, perfect or no,

19:15they're gonna try to use what happened tonight against you in family court.

19:19Well, they won't get the chance if Willow's convicted of attempted murder.

19:23Brett, you saved Ned's life today.

19:26And I'm always gonna be grateful for that.

19:29Yeah, well, don't celebrate so soon. He's not out of the woods just yet.

19:33Yeah, no, I know that.

19:35But at least he has a fighting chance.

19:38And I just...

19:39I just hope I get the chance to say, uh,

19:43thank you to him for everything he's done for our family.

19:46What do you mean?

19:50Uh, years ago, I walked away from my parents.

19:56I walked away from my grandparents.

19:59And I know Ned must've...

20:02wanted to do the same more than once, but he didn't.

20:05He stuck around.

20:08I imagine all the money and power that comes with being a court of Maine played a small part in his decision to stay.

20:15Yeah, maybe.

20:17Maybe it did, but he really cared about our family.

20:19And he kept it together through some very...

20:23very difficult times.

20:26And I just wanna tell him how much I appreciate that.

20:28And just like I appreciate everything you did for Ned today.

20:32Jason, you're giving me way too much credit.

20:35Gio was already there performing CPR by the time I got there.

20:38Well, but you made sure that Ned got to the hospital.

20:40You made sure that Gio's grandfather didn't die while he was trying to save him.

20:45That would've completely devastated Gio.

20:48But that didn't happen because of you.

20:51I really hate it when you talk about me like I'm a good person, because you're wrong.

20:55I'm not wrong.

20:57And you know it.

21:00Dante's in the middle of a case and he asked me to keep an eye on his mom for him.

21:05I think Olivia's downstairs in the chapel.

21:07I know, I was just trying to give her a little privacy.

21:10Would it be okay if I just waited with you guys in the meantime?

21:14It's public space.

21:16I know, but I also know that you basically hate me and I just worry that my presence might make things harder for you.

21:22You're only half right.

21:25Sit down already.

21:33You know, Ned and I had a really good conversation earlier.

21:36It actually felt like the first step in having a real relationship with him is my grandfather.

21:41Yeah, it was and I'm sure he felt the same way.

21:44What if that one conversation is all I'm ever going to get with him?

21:46I wasted all this time keeping him at arm's length and he didn't even do anything wrong.

21:52You were going through a lot, okay? And Ned knew that.

21:55That's why he was giving you the space that you needed to figure things out on your own.

21:58He did and he could have tried to pressure me into getting to know him, but he didn't.

22:02He waited for me to seek him out and now because I waited so long I may never get another chance.

22:07I wouldn't count your grandfather out just yet.

22:09Okay, you worked really hard to keep him alive and I know that he's fighting just as hard to come back to you and the rest of your family.

22:17Do you know what I admire most about you?

22:20What?

22:22You always choose to do the right thing.

22:26Even when it makes your life more difficult.

22:29I think people call it...

22:33Integrity?

22:35See, I wouldn't know. It's sort of a foreign concept to me.

22:39Well, just so you know, it's not such an easy path for me to walk either.

22:42No, I disagree. You certainly make it look easy.

22:47And I think it's that integrity that makes you so popular with your constituents.

22:53Darling, they believe in you. They trust you.

22:57And they look to you for guidance. And speaking from personal experience, they should.

23:02Yeah, well, I hope they still feel that way after this debate.

23:07You can't let a balloon like Ezra make you doubt yourself.

23:11You know what? It's kind of hard not to when I know that he's gonna fight dirty.

23:15So what? Let him. That's the beauty of it.

23:19All he's gonna do is make the voters' choice easier.

23:22I mean, on one hand, they'll be you, and on the other hand, they'll be this whorp

23:24who's basically not all that bright, slinging mud like a deranged monkey at the zoo.

23:29I'm serious. He's just one more damaged little man who's gotta bully people to get what he wants.

23:35And then there's me, friend to the mob and nepo-grandma.

23:40Hardly. There's you.

23:43An amazingly lovable and accomplished woman who's got morals and class and intelligence.

23:50A woman who has literally loved this city for decades and the people who live in it.

23:56The same someone who can be counted on to do the right thing for those people no matter what.

24:01Be yourself. You'll win. It's a lot.

24:07I am so glad that I still have you in my life.

24:12I'm not as happy as I am.

24:15I, unfortunately, have gotta go meet up with Alexis.

24:19Oh, it's okay. I understand.

24:22Go get him. I'll be rooting for you.

24:26I know.

24:31That woman thinks that she can just move things around my lab.

24:55Who's there?

24:56What the hell are you doing here?

25:09Hey there. I heard you are expecting me.

25:15Sadly, yes.

25:16I was hoping to get through to your client that I don't need nor want co-counsel.

25:23Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm a little confused.

25:26I was given the impression that you were okay with this little arrangement.

25:29Yeah, because that's what he wanted you to think.

25:32All right. I tried to explain it to him. I'm gonna try to explain it to you.

25:36I work for Willow. You work for Drew.

25:39And it's become quite clear that their interests do not align.

25:42Why do you say that?

25:44Because your client is obsessed with laying all the blame on Michael, which is gonna hurt my client.

25:49The best way to acquit Willow is to introduce as many suspects as possible.

25:55That way I put the PCPD on trial.

25:58And I show the jury that they were rushing to judgment by focusing all their attention on Willow at the exclusion of all the other suspects.

26:04Huh. Good on ya. It's a solid plan of attack.

26:10I know that. Tell that to your boss so he leaves me alone.

26:14He took all of my willpower not to run over and pull my son away from that disgusting farce that was playing out in front of me and everyone else here.

26:22You would have played right into Michael's hands if you had.

26:24I had to stop myself from crying. I tried to sneak away, but Wiley spotted me before I could.

26:30Thankfully, I managed to keep myself together.

26:33It sounds like you handled everything beautifully, Willow.

26:37I am just so upset with Michael.

26:39He has done so many things I never thought he was capable of doing, but exposing our son to a sex worker.

26:45A sex worker?

26:46It's just more proof that there is something wrong with him.

26:49I mean, we've known that, especially after he claimed that the kids weren't safe being with you, but it has never been more obvious.

26:57Never that if somebody deserves to lose custody of those kids, it's him.

27:03Say Willow does end up being convicted.

27:07Is it still wise to let people think we're in a relationship? I mean, I am a sex worker.

27:12You were. You left that life behind. You moved on.

27:17And you're still a high-profile figure. Us being together could end up hurting your image.

27:22Jacinda, I don't care. I don't care what people think.

27:26And just for the record, I don't have a problem with you being around my kids.

27:31I was actually planning on introducing you anyway, so all in all, I think tonight worked out pretty well.

27:38I guess Nina's plan really backfired then.

27:40Yeah.

27:43As she and Willow, they have this nasty habit of putting my kids in terrible positions.

27:51Especially Willow. It's like she doesn't think things through and it just drives me crazy and I can't...

27:59Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, this is exactly what my dad warned me about.

28:08I'm not following.

28:09Willow and her selfish behavior are easy triggers for me.

28:17And her lawyer, Alexis, is gonna try to use that against me in court.

28:21She'll call me to stand and try to lure me into trashing the mother of my children in front of the jury.

28:27Which will only make it seem like you did frame Willow.

28:32Exactly.

28:34So I have to keep my composure in court.

28:39No matter what's said.

28:40Easier said than done.

28:43Yeah, it really is.

28:47But what's equally important is that when you're called to the stand that you're able to provide me with an airtight alibi.

28:54Do you foresee any kind of issues with that?

28:59I'm gonna grab some tea. Do either of you want any?

29:03Uh, that'd be great. Thanks.

29:05Be right back.

29:11So, how are you holding up?

29:14I'm not.

29:16I'm absolutely terrified.

29:18I can't imagine a world without my dad. He's always been my constant.

29:22He's kind of a rock for all of us.

29:25No.

29:27When my dad found out that I had given birth to Gio all those years ago, he was so amazing.

29:33And he had every right to be angry with me for keeping it a secret, but he wasn't.

29:38He just loved me and supported me like he always does.

29:44I just can't lose it, Jason.

29:47Hey, that's not gonna happen.

29:49You Quartermains are a ridiculously stubborn bunch.

29:54He's not going anywhere without a fight.

30:02How did you get in here?

30:04I snuck in.

30:05Well, that's obvious, isn't it?

30:06Why?

30:07Because you're using this lab to form a legal test on animals.

30:11And I'm gonna prove it.

30:12Oh, that's ridiculous.

30:13Do you see any animals here? Do you?

30:15No, because you move them.

30:18I know you, don't I?

30:20You're that kid who works at the Metro Court pool, right?

30:22And you're the guy who doesn't know how to tip.

30:25You're funny, aren't you?

30:26And your grandmother's, uh, Mary Collins, right?

30:30That's right.

30:31Yeah.

30:32And once she finds out what you're doing, she's gonna have you arrested.

30:35Well, you're the one who broke the law.

30:36By breaking Henry.

30:38I'm gonna get you arrested.

30:44What was that? Why did you stop me?

30:46Because Rocco just sacrificed himself for us.

30:50If he hadn't distracted Dalton by making noise, he would have found us for sure.

30:57He was saving me from everything that was gonna happen if I got caught.

31:01But he's in a world of trouble now.

31:02We have to do something.

31:04I know who can help us.

31:06Are you old enough?

31:08You know, I'm hanging in there.

31:09Just barely. I'm so grateful for all of you guys.

31:12It's my family.

31:13It's the only thing that's keeping me together right now.

31:16Anyway.

31:19Well, thank you.

31:20Don't mention it.

31:21Now I need to thank Britt.

31:23I don't know what would have happened if it wasn't for her.

31:26Well, surprisingly, even Britt would admit that she doesn't deserve all the credit.

31:30What do you mean?

31:32Well, she said that if...

31:34When Ned makes it, it's because Gio took immediate action.

31:39She said he performed CPR until she got there.

31:43You didn't tell me he performed CPR in my day.

31:46Apparently, he's the one that made all the difference.

31:56You know what?

31:57You're nothing if not a damn good lawyer.

31:59So, I'm going to do what I can to convince Drew to back off.

32:03I'm going to explain that you're right that I would be in the way of you doing your job.

32:07Which is to give Willow the best possible shot in an acquittal.

32:12Thank you, Martin.

32:13But...

32:14You just make damn sure that every single thing you do, every move you make, every call is informed by the foreknowledge of Drew Kane's ruthlessness.

32:23Because, if you do this, I mean, if Drew lets you do it your way, and you fail to exonerate Willow, they'll be hell to pay.

32:36It's just not fair.

32:39I can't spend time with my own children, but a woman like Jacinda can?

32:47It's not fair.

32:49None of it has been.

32:51But there is a bright side in all this.

32:53Because we're going to make sure Michael's bad judgment is front and center in the court, and then we're going to use that against him.

32:59A jury is not going to like it any more than we do.

33:02That's great, Drew, but he's not the one on trial.

33:05I am.

33:06It will be.

33:08I've instructed Alexis to exonerate you by making a case that Michael is the one that shot me, so once this is all over,

33:15Michael is going to be the one in prison, and your kids will never have to see him ever again.

33:22You need to be certain.

33:25Is there anyone who can definitively say that we were not together when Drew was shot?

33:31If you have any doubt, anything scratching at the back of your mind, you need to tell me, and you need to tell me now.

33:37After we parted ways, I went straight to my hotel room, where I spent the rest of the evening completely alone.

33:45Okay, great. So the only people who know that you're covering for me are in this room.

33:52And that's how it's going to stay.

33:56Jacinda, I really appreciate everything you're doing for me.

34:03I can't thank you enough.

34:06Ezra, before we go out there tonight, I was wondering if it might be possible to get on the same page.

34:16In what way?

34:18Well, I'd love to debate you on the issues and avoid attacking each other's personal lives.

34:23Ah, of course you would. But look, if your private life and your association with Sonny Carinthos can't hold out the public scrutiny, that's your problem.

34:34Now, my personal life is beyond reproach.

34:38Oh, why do I find that hard to believe?

34:42The kids found my purse and left it with one of the weaknesses.

34:45Well, I'm glad that worked out.

34:47Yeah, I just hope no one took me anything.

34:49Dad. Dad, we need your help. You're not going to believe what happened.

34:53Okay, hold it. Slow down. What's going on?

34:55Well, we broke into the research lab at PCU.

34:58Danny and I got away, but Rocco got caught.

34:59Fine, then. You go ahead and launch all the attacks that you want to. I will be speaking on the issues, which is what our voters really want to hear about.
