00:00Honey, I know that your heart is in the right place, but you can't...
00:03Don't say it. Don't even think it.
00:05Thanksgiving is always a huge disaster for us.
00:08It's when the kitchen's curse comes alive.
00:10There's no way that it will ever let you cook a successful turkey dinner in this house.
00:17Feels like I've been gone forever.
00:24I feel the same way.
00:28But you're here.
00:30And I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am.
00:37Your grandmother would have been here, too, but she got pulled into some mayoral business.
00:41But Charlotte and Danny are anxious to see you.
00:53Are you sure you're feeling okay?
00:56I'm good.
00:57I'm good.
00:59I'm just...
01:00I'm really glad to be home.
01:03You, too.
01:03I love you so much, my sweet boy.
01:13The new Gavin Ziggler exhibit had a really great showing.
01:17I thought it would.
01:19Oh, by the way, was Jordan interested in any of the pieces you showed her yesterday?
01:24Well, I'm afraid Jordan's going to be taking her business elsewhere.
01:29And that's on me.
01:30Why?
01:32I kind of told her that I was going to make sure that my dad never goes back to her.
01:37I know.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40I got held up with a patient.
01:43No problem, auntie.
01:46Let me ask you a question.
01:47Uh-huh.
01:49How would you feel about dining at Cafe Chariot tonight?
01:53Why?
01:54Did we miss our reservation?
01:55No.
02:00Oh.
02:01I see.
02:03Well, I know you never give that man the satisfaction of running you out of here, so I assume that offer was for my benefit.
02:10Oh, we can go somewhere else if you'd like.
02:12Not a chance.
02:14If anyone should leave here with their tail between their legs, it's Drew.
02:20Okay.
02:21Well, just let me know when it's rescheduled.
02:22I'd like to be there in person.
02:26Sorry, Martin.
02:27That's fine.
02:28What's with the last-minute dinner?
02:33I have some exciting news to share.
02:36About?
02:38About me.
02:39And Willow.
02:41Uh, Liesel.
02:42Hey, I know I'm here without notice, but...
02:45May I come in?
02:47Sure.
02:49What brings you by?
02:55I understand you're getting married.
02:58And let me guess, you're here to change my mind?
03:02Hey, uh, so, Rocco made bail.
03:06He's on his way home with Lulu.
03:07That's great, man.
03:08Yeah.
03:09Look, I know you caught some flack for doing that.
03:11I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated you hauling him out of Juvie,
03:15especially after he got roughed up.
03:18It was, uh, not easy seeing him like that.
03:20Yeah, but...
03:22Hey, look.
03:24You've done the same for me, and you know it.
03:27I'm happy I could help.
03:30I'm also happy Turner gave me a pass.
03:32Yeah.
03:32Uh, well, look, you're not only a good friend, you're a damn good cop,
03:36which is why I want your help on a case.
03:38We have to take another look into who shot Drew.
03:50Why?
03:51We reopening the case.
03:52Oh, my God.
04:22What do those Juvie psychos do to you?
04:24It's all good.
04:25Kind of a badass, huh?
04:26Girls like scars, don't they?
04:28Bro, that's...
04:29That's tats.
04:33And you don't have to worry.
04:36Char and I will make sure you never have to go back to that place again.
04:39Proof that Dalton was straight up lying about you trashing his lab.
04:43I heard.
04:44Nothing like being home, right?
04:46That's for sure.
04:46Why don't you guys catch each other up?
04:50Will Jason and I talk?
04:51I thought you got along with Jordan.
05:06I did.
05:07Until I realized that my parents' marriage never stood a chance with her waiting in the wings all the time.
05:13When their marriage showed the first sign of weakness, she was right there, ready to exploit it.
05:19Well, I can deal with losing a sale.
05:23But at the end of the day, sweetheart, you can't stop her from seeing your father.
05:28I can't if I ask him not to be with her.
05:31He'll listen to me.
05:33Well, he might.
05:35But any time you give somebody an ultimatum, they end up resenting you for it.
05:41Doesn't he care how much I resent her?
05:44Resent who?
05:50Uh, no.
05:51We're not going to reopen the investigation.
05:54Well, I'm a little confused.
05:56I mean, hasn't the PCPD kind of already done its thing?
05:59We filed charges against Willow.
06:01She's looking at a trial date next month.
06:02Right.
06:03This is going to be more preemptive.
06:06Turner wants to try and anticipate what Alexis is going to do.
06:09And what she thinks she's going to do is blame the PCPD for botching the investigation.
06:15So, we got to come up with an effective counter-argument.
06:18I need your eyes and expertise on these suspects.
06:21Make sure we didn't miss anything.
06:23Look, I'm happy to do it, but wouldn't Chase be the better call?
06:29I mean, he actually worked the case.
06:30Uh, yeah, no.
06:31Uh, Chase wouldn't be the better call.
06:34I don't know.
06:34I want him as far away from this as possible.
06:37Go ahead.
06:38Tell me what a huge mistake I'm making.
06:41That's not why I'm here.
06:42So, are you here to congratulate me?
06:47Marrying Drew is not my first choice for you.
06:50It is your life.
06:52I'm not here to criticize.
06:55Since when?
06:57Willow, I am your family.
06:59And even if I don't agree with your decision,
07:02you will still have my support.
07:04Thank you, Aunt Liesel.
07:07That means a lot.
07:09Don't thank me.
07:10Thank your mother.
07:11She's the one who talks some sense into me.
07:15So, I guess, um, congratulations are in order.
07:18Um, when is the big day?
07:22Thanksgiving.
07:25This, this Thanksgiving.
07:27Yeah.
07:28Yeah, we're just keeping it simple.
07:30Just close friends, family, at the house.
07:33I hope you can make it.
07:35Um, yeah, sure, I'll be there.
07:38Great.
07:39Well, in that case, um,
07:41would you be willing to officiate?
07:45Uh, well, I'd, um,
07:48I, uh, I assume I'd be honored.
07:51I, I, I'm sorry.
07:52Um, I feel duty-bound to ask.
07:54This, this rush to get married,
07:56it's not sort of an ill-conceived attempt
07:58to bolster Willow's image trial, is it?
08:02I think it'll have a good impression on the jury
08:04that I, the victim, believe in her innocence.
08:08But I also love Willow,
08:10and I can't wait to make her my wife.
08:13Well, then, good for you.
08:17You know, I, I gotta be honest.
08:19After what happened at your last wedding,
08:21I wouldn't think you'd ever be able to win or bet.
08:26I think a lot of people would have agreed with you.
08:29But, you know me, I don't give up.
08:33And I always get what I want.
08:36Except for Measure C passing, of course.
08:39I'm talking about everything that I really want.
08:42Like Willow.
08:43I'm getting revenge on those that have crossed me.
08:48You know my cooking skills have improved.
08:50I'm ready to take on the challenge of a holiday meal.
08:53Great.
08:54Groundhog Day doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.
08:57Oh, come on.
08:58Even Olivia has given up.
09:00That's why she wants to get a pizza oven installed.
09:03Look, I've been checking out recipes,
09:05and I think I can make a great turkey.
09:07With your assistance, of course.
09:09Honey, it's not that I don't want to help you.
09:10It's just been 30 years since someone's been able to get a turkey
09:13on the quarter-main dining room table.
09:15An edible one, at least.
09:17But it's never been you and me doing it.
09:20The two of us can conquer anything.
09:22Plus, with everything your family's been through lately,
09:25Monica's passing, your dad's heart attack.
09:28I just want to do something nice for everyone.
09:31This really means a lot to you, doesn't it?
09:36Michael?
09:37Sorry to interrupt.
09:41I'll go.
09:42No, no, no.
09:42No, no, wait.
09:43Chase and I were actually just talking about possibly
09:46cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for the family.
09:49Wouldn't it be you was here to just get like a pizza oven or something?
09:52Oh, maybe.
09:53Just maybe.
09:54If we all pull together,
09:56this will be the year that it finally works out.
09:59I don't know.
10:01Might not be a good idea for me and Chase
10:03to be in the kitchen.
10:04You know, I thought it was nice.
10:10You're appetizers before Trina comes.
10:15Aunt Stella,
10:17if you're gonna give Drew the stink eye all night,
10:20then we're not gonna have a good time.
10:22So we might as well just leave.
10:25Now, why don't you distract me
10:26with something much more important?
10:28Like, how are things between you and Portia?
10:34Two of you reconciled yet?
10:37Hey, Mom.
10:38I didn't know you were coming by.
10:39What are you doing here?
10:41Well, I was hoping that you and I could grab some dinner together tonight.
10:45Oh.
10:45Ava, you're more than welcome to join us.
10:47Oh, thanks, Portia.
10:48But I have some things to finish up here.
10:50Okay.
10:50And, uh, I'm sorry to say,
10:52but I already have plans with Dad and Aunt Stella.
10:55But, I mean,
10:56I don't suppose that you'd want to come?
10:59That's a very sweet offer.
11:01But I think it's best
11:02if I just, you know, don't.
11:05But I want you to go.
11:06I want you to go and have fun.
11:08And can you tell them for me
11:09that I won't be able to make it to Thanksgiving dinner?
11:12Why not?
11:12Uh, Dr. Randolph needs to go see her father.
11:16He's not doing well.
11:17So, I'm going to cover for her that night.
11:18Well, that is so kind of you to do that for her.
11:22Right.
11:24Is this how it's always going to be from now on?
11:28You and Dad just can't be in the same room together?
11:31No, honey, of course not.
11:33I just feel like my family's being torn apart.
11:37Honey, it's never going to happen.
11:38Your father and I, we're always going to work together
11:42to do what's right by you.
11:45I know that you'll both try.
11:48I'm just worried that
11:49I'm going to lose one of you.
11:53Uh-uh.
11:54It's never going to happen.
11:55I did something a little drastic
12:05to clear my daughter's name.
12:06No.
12:07You didn't confess, did you?
12:09No!
12:10But I did throw someone under the bus
12:13as a possible suspect.
12:17Yeah, I don't think, uh,
12:19Turner's going to get what she needs
12:20out of Chase.
12:21That was biased towards Willa.
12:22I'm battling my own bias with Michael.
12:25Willa's my niece.
12:27Yeah, but you didn't have
12:27a personal relationship with her.
12:29Anyway, I want to look at
12:30the other suspects today.
12:33All right.
12:34All right, I'm in.
12:35You're buying me dinner, though.
12:36I'm hungry.
12:36Yeah, done.
12:37Whatever.
12:38Okay.
12:40So?
12:41Where do we start?
12:42I guess we got to start with Michael.
12:49Michael, Chase has nothing against you.
12:51Yeah, other than believing
12:52I'm a cold-blooded,
12:53would-be killer, right?
12:54What I believe is that Willa was innocent.
12:57And I'm not going to apologize
12:58for asking questions about
13:00who else could be responsible
13:01for shooting Drew.
13:03Even if that includes you.
13:06Well, so much for family loyalty.
13:09I have to be objective.
13:10Yeah, except you're not.
13:11Now, you are so convinced
13:14that Willa was innocent
13:15because you think you know her so well.
13:17I do.
13:18Oh, yeah?
13:19Well, then it should come
13:20as no surprise to you
13:21that she and Drew
13:21are getting married on Thanksgiving.
13:27Does this mean Nina knows
13:28I'm marrying Drew?
13:29Yes.
13:30We were together
13:31when your fiancé ran into us
13:33and made sure to share the news.
13:35Initially, I was less than thrilled.
13:38I'm sure Nina felt the same.
13:44She did.
13:46But after Drew left
13:49and Nina had a moment,
13:51she realized the most important thing
13:52is your happiness.
13:54You are happy, yes?
13:56Of course.
13:58In that case,
13:59your mother believes
14:00we should support you wholeheartedly.
14:02Personally, I think wholeheartedly
14:04is a bit much,
14:05but here I am.
14:07Well, I appreciate the gesture
14:09and if it's true
14:12that Nina helped you
14:12come to that conclusion,
14:14then I suppose
14:14you can thank her for me.
14:16Why don't you thank her yourself?
14:18Isn't it time
14:19you made amends
14:19with your mother?
14:20So, I haven't told the kids yet,
14:30but I got word
14:31that we should not bring them in
14:32to give their statement.
14:34I think I know why.
14:36Henry Dalton was the most
14:38to meet with ADA Turner
14:39and he didn't show up.
14:41The PCPD sent officers
14:43to the PCU
14:44and the Metro Court,
14:46but there was no sign of him.
14:47So what,
14:48he just took off?
14:49I don't know.
14:50It's possible.
14:52Maybe he realized
14:53he couldn't perjure himself.
14:55Or maybe Sonny
14:56had something to do with this.
15:00Michael's got
15:01one of the strongest motives
15:03to shoot during
15:03one of the weakest talibis.
15:05And what else?
15:07Boy's got access
15:08to the weapon
15:08used in the shooting
15:09and he's got access
15:11to the room
15:11that Willow was staying in
15:12when he was at Elizabeth's house.
15:13When he was there
15:14waiting for Willow?
15:15Yeah, alone.
15:16And Hannah went back
15:17the next day
15:18with the warrant.
15:19Found the gun.
15:20So Michael,
15:22we got motive,
15:24we got a weak alibi,
15:26we have access
15:27to the weapon,
15:28we have the opportunity
15:29to plant the weapon,
15:30we have motive
15:31to plant the weapon,
15:32that's a lot to ignore.
15:33Yeah, it is,
15:34but I can't put him
15:34at the scene.
15:35We can't put Willow
15:36at the scene either.
15:37No, but Alexis
15:38is going to point the jury
15:39in Michael's direction.
15:41Yeah, but if Michael
15:42and Jacinda Bracken
15:43stick to their story,
15:44then Alexis
15:44is not going to get anywhere.
15:45I mean, has anybody
15:45been able to shake
15:46their alibi?
15:47Yep.
15:55Well, I might be
15:56a bit biased
15:57who comes to my sister,
15:58but she didn't do herself
15:59any favors
16:00coming up with
16:00a fake alibi
16:01for her and Willow.
16:02No, she didn't,
16:03but she's on
16:04the security footage
16:05in her building
16:06and the time
16:07Drew was shot,
16:08so unless she found
16:09another way out.
16:10Yeah, but if there was one,
16:11she would have talked
16:12about it to maintain
16:12her alibi.
16:13Yeah, you know,
16:14I know Nina would do
16:15anything to keep
16:15Drew away from Willow,
16:16but I think Nina's
16:18a long shot on this one.
16:21Aunt Liesel,
16:22how can I forgive Nina
16:23after all the lies
16:24she's told?
16:25Because she's your mother
16:26and because she loves you.
16:29But it's part
16:29of a larger pattern.
16:31She screws up,
16:32begs for my forgiveness,
16:34then screws up again.
16:36And you have no forgiveness
16:37for those who make mistakes?
16:39If that's the case,
16:42married life may not
16:42be for you.
16:43No, I do,
16:44but I'm just tired of it.
16:47I understand.
16:49And Nina has made mistakes,
16:51many of them.
16:54But I'd like to be
16:55frank with you if I may.
16:57Sure.
16:59You're acting like
17:00an ungrateful,
17:01petulant child.
17:03Excuse me?
17:03From the moment
17:04Nina found out
17:06you were her daughter,
17:06she has done nothing
17:07but love you.
17:09Has she made mistakes
17:10along the way?
17:11Most certainly.
17:12But you must see
17:13how hard she fights for you,
17:15how she protects you.
17:16She has stood by your side
17:18through so much
17:18and yet you turn
17:20your back on her
17:20even when she admits
17:22she is wrong.
17:25That is not
17:25how family works.
17:28It's time you make
17:29amends with your mother.
17:33And now's your chance.
17:35What do you mean?
17:39That can't possibly be true.
17:45I had a follow-up
17:46appointment at GH
17:47and I overheard her
17:48and invited Elizabeth
17:48to the wedding.
17:51And she was once again
17:52sporting Lila's
17:53engagement ring.
17:55The one that you gave her?
17:56Yeah.
17:57I am so sorry, Michael.
17:58That is appalling.
18:00Well, clearly it wasn't
18:01Willow's idea.
18:03It was Drew's.
18:03My daughter's really
18:08struggling with this divorce.
18:10Try not to worry
18:11too much about it.
18:13She will get through it
18:14and she will be just fine.
18:16When I came in here,
18:17I heard her say
18:18she resented her.
18:21Who was she talking about?
18:24Was it Jordan?
18:27Me?
18:29You know what?
18:30Never mind.
18:31I don't want the answer
18:31to that question.
18:32Portia, I promise you
18:35it was not you.
18:38Well, that's a relief.
18:40But we both know
18:41that could change
18:42very quickly
18:42if it turns out
18:44Curtis isn't the father
18:45of this baby.
18:47You haven't told her
18:48about it then?
18:49No.
18:50Nope.
18:51I'm not telling anyone
18:51until the end
18:52of the first trimester.
18:54Because of my age,
18:55you know,
18:56I want to take things
18:56one step at a time.
18:59And I'm not getting
19:00a paternity test
19:01until then.
19:02Smart.
19:04Here I am telling
19:05Trina that she doesn't
19:07have to worry
19:07about losing me.
19:09But I'm so afraid
19:10of losing her.
19:13I don't want to add
19:14to your worries.
19:17But there is
19:18something else
19:19that could end up
19:20separating you
19:21and your daughter.
19:22No, no, no.
19:23What now?
19:24Bunty, I know
19:25you probably
19:25don't want to hear
19:26this, but
19:27Portia and I
19:28are going through
19:29with the divorce.
19:30Even with the child
19:32on the way?
19:33But we are
19:33completely committed
19:34to co-parenting.
19:36It won't be the same,
19:39Curtis.
19:40Check this out.
19:44Oh, Curtis.
19:49Can't really make it out yet,
19:51but can you imagine
19:52Trina
19:53with a little sister
19:55or brother?
19:55I can't.
19:59And
19:59I love the joy
20:02in your voice.
20:05Yeah, well,
20:06I missed out
20:07on these moments
20:07when Portia was
20:08pregnant with Trina.
20:10So this is a whole
20:11new experience for me.
20:13And that right there
20:15is why you need
20:16to stay married
20:17so you don't miss out
20:19on one moment
20:21of this child's life.
20:22I take it
20:25that Michael
20:26is still
20:26at the top
20:27of your revenge list.
20:29I still wish
20:31that I
20:31would have claimed
20:32I remembered
20:33him shooting me,
20:34but I just
20:34I just waited too long.
20:37And now that
20:38Willow's been arrested,
20:39people would just
20:39assume we're lying
20:41to try to protect her.
20:42Yeah, I wish
20:42I wouldn't have waited.
20:44Could have spared Willow
20:45this entire
20:45horrible trial.
20:47Alexis is doing
20:48everything she can
20:49for her defense.
20:51Is she better
20:51or she's not
20:52going to see
20:53her grandchild
20:54ever again?
20:55You know something?
20:55You don't have
20:56to keep threatening
20:57Alexis.
20:58She is a damn
20:59fine attorney.
21:01She believes
21:02in her client.
21:03She believes
21:03she can prove
21:04her innocence.
21:04I still would feel
21:05better if you were
21:06sitting co-counsel
21:07with her.
21:08No.
21:09Alexis is a
21:10one-woman show.
21:12It's all Willow
21:13needs.
21:14A wedding may be
21:15one thing,
21:15a courtroom is another.
21:17The best thing
21:17you can do
21:18is step back
21:19and let
21:19Alexis Davis
21:20do her thing.
21:21Well, if anything
21:22goes wrong,
21:22I'm going to hold
21:23you both responsible.
21:24Duly noted.
21:25I have faith.
21:27Best wedding present
21:28you could have
21:29possibly given
21:29Willow
21:30is hiring Alexis.
21:31No.
21:33The best wedding present
21:34I could give Willow
21:35is her freedom
21:36and then her children
21:37and that means
21:38putting Michael
21:39behind bars.
21:41And once I've
21:41achieved those goals,
21:42then,
21:44well, then I can
21:45focus on the other
21:46people that have
21:47made the mistake
21:47of crossing it.
21:55I can't thank you
21:56enough for the way
21:57you sacrificed
21:58yourself for us,
21:59but next time,
21:59you need to game out
22:00all the ramifications.
22:02Before you do anything,
22:03you need to remember
22:03you're the grandson
22:04of Mayor Laura Collins
22:06and Sonny Corinthos.
22:07Dalton and the ADA
22:08might have been harsher
22:09on you because of that.
22:10I hear you,
22:12but I still know
22:13I did the right thing
22:14and I'd do it again
22:15including breaking
22:16into that lap.
22:17Even though we didn't
22:18find any proof
22:19of illegal animal testing?
22:21Yeah.
22:22I mean,
22:23it was kind of exciting.
22:24It was.
22:25We're pretty good at it.
22:28We were
22:28until we got caught.
22:30Come on,
22:31it might not be the same
22:32as being on the run
22:32in Europe,
22:33but admit it,
22:34you got a thrill
22:35out of it, too.
22:37Okay, yeah.
22:38It was pretty cool.
22:40Well, if that's
22:43your way of asking
22:44if Sonny
22:44had Dalton killed,
22:48I can assure you
22:50he didn't.
22:52Oh, that's a relief?
22:54Oh, sort of.
22:56Because it means
22:57that Dalton took off
22:58on his own
22:59and he can pop back up
23:00at any time.
23:03Look, Drew is the one
23:05who put the ring
23:05on Willow's finger.
23:06Yeah, and she accepted
23:07the ring and agreed
23:08to marry my uncle.
23:09Or did Drew
23:10make her do that, too?
23:11So she just forgives him
23:13for everything?
23:15I don't know
23:16what she is thinking,
23:17but it is not good.
23:18Yeah, unless she loves him.
23:20Or she thinks
23:21marrying the man
23:21that she's accused
23:22of shooting
23:22will somehow
23:23make her look innocent
23:24or hell,
23:24maybe it's even both.
23:26All I know is
23:27I don't give a damn anymore.
23:30He has a point.
23:40I mean, what if this is just
23:41Willow's ploy
23:42to stay out of prison?
23:45Nina and I drove over
23:46together and I told her
23:47to wait in the car
23:48so you could butter me up
23:50before you ambushed me.
23:51Alisa, I told you
23:52this was a bad idea.
23:53I'm just going to wait
23:53for you.
23:54No, come inside.
23:56The two of you
23:56need to work things out
23:57before the wedding.
24:02Drew, he invited us
24:03to the ceremony,
24:04but if you don't want me there,
24:05I will stay away.
24:08Why would you even
24:09want to come?
24:10You hate that I'm with him.
24:11You hate him.
24:13You even hired a hooker
24:14to drug him
24:15to try to break us up.
24:17Yes, that's true.
24:18I did.
24:20But I will learn
24:21to accept the two of you
24:23if that means
24:23that I can
24:24be part of your life again.
24:29It's weird.
24:32I've missed you.
24:34And if you could just
24:35find it in your heart
24:36to forgive me.
24:38Knowing me,
24:39yes, I guarantee
24:40that I am going to
24:41disappoint you again.
24:42But I can promise you this.
24:44that I will love
24:47and support you
24:47for the rest of your life
24:49no matter what.
24:51No matter what.
24:55Just give me
24:56another chance.
24:59Nina told me
24:59something in confidence,
25:01but I feel justified
25:03in telling you
25:04because she broke
25:05yours first.
25:06Eva, what do you know?
25:09When Nina's alibi
25:10for Willow fell apart,
25:12she was desperate
25:14to get the heat
25:14off her daughter.
25:16So,
25:17she decided to
25:19shine a light
25:21on an alternate suspect.
25:23Did Nina tell the police
25:25that Drew was
25:25blackmailing me?
25:28You'll be happy to know
25:29all the Thanksgiving shopping
25:30is done.
25:32And I got everything
25:32on your list,
25:33so we are completely
25:34prepared for tomorrow.
25:35Oh, look at you.
25:37Well, thank you
25:37for saving me
25:38a shopping trip.
25:39Of course.
25:40But I still don't know
25:42how many people
25:43I'm cooking for.
25:44Is your mother
25:45still coming?
25:46No.
25:47She has to work.
25:49But she did want me
25:50to tell you
25:51how sorry she was.
25:52Oh, I'm sorry
25:53to hear it.
25:54But you will
25:55remember to take
25:56her a plate, right?
25:57Oh, yeah, for sure.
25:58Okay.
25:58Of course,
25:59Portia will be missed.
26:01But I think
26:02especially at this
26:02time of year,
26:04we should
26:04focus on our blessings.
26:06Right.
26:07All we have
26:08is each other,
26:09which wasn't
26:09a guarantee
26:10a couple months ago.
26:12I was so scared
26:13that we'd lose you
26:14when you were targeted
26:15for that fraud investigation.
26:18We'd all know
26:19whose fault that was.
26:21That awful man
26:23used the power
26:24of his office
26:24to target our family.
26:27And I think
26:28it's way past time
26:30I said something
26:32to him about it.
26:34Uh-oh.
26:34Stella?
26:35So you still
26:38have a grudge
26:39against Curtis?
26:41Yeah, don't
26:42waste your breath
26:42trying to talk me out of it.
26:44Good evening,
26:45Congressman Cutthroat.
26:48How many lives
26:49do you plan on
26:50destroying this evening?
26:54I think Michael's
26:55trying to make
26:56Willow look guilty.
26:57Oh, she's not
26:58doing herself any favors.
26:59I'm surprised
27:00you're defending him.
27:01I was under the impression
27:02you were starting
27:03to consider the possibility
27:04that he could be guilty.
27:06Well, I changed my mind
27:07after what happened
27:10yesterday at the hospital.
27:11What happened?
27:13I was at the hospital
27:14worried about my dad
27:15and Michael stopped by.
27:18He was so supportive
27:19about Rocco and Gio
27:21and about my dad,
27:23about all of it.
27:25I told him how I wished
27:26I could reach out to Gio.
27:28The way that Dante
27:29spoke to him
27:29was horrible.
27:30so Michael called Gio,
27:33asked him to come
27:34to the hospital
27:34so the two of us
27:35could talk.
27:36How'd that go?
27:38Better than I ever
27:39could have imagined.
27:41It's like he finally
27:42understood why I made
27:43the choices I did.
27:44It's like this weight
27:46was lifted off
27:47of my shoulders
27:48and for him too.
27:50Well, I'm sure it was.
27:51The two of you
27:52have been carrying around
27:52some very heavy stuff.
27:54He called me mom.
27:56Gio?
27:57He said,
27:59thanks mom.
28:02Just for a moment,
28:03even a quick one,
28:05feel our connection.
28:07I felt like my heart
28:08was gonna burst.
28:15I was just telling Aunt Liesel
28:17that I keep giving you
28:18chance after chance
28:20and you keep screwing it up.
28:22But then
28:24I have made
28:26a few mistakes myself
28:28and you have stood
28:29by me
28:30through
28:31all of them.
28:33And I always will
28:34if you let me.
28:37And that's what
28:37family does,
28:38right?
28:40And since we are family,
28:42maybe we can work
28:43on having a relationship.
28:49I'm incredibly grateful.
28:51I'm not sure
28:52I'll ever fully
28:52trust you again
28:54or that we'll be
28:55as close as we once were.
28:57But
28:57I am willing
28:59to let you be
29:00a part of my life
29:01because the truth is
29:02I've missed you too.
29:08I can't believe it.
29:10I can't believe
29:11Nina betrayed me like that.
29:12Okay, hold on now.
29:13I'm not
29:14entirely sure she did.
29:16She didn't actually say
29:18you were the one
29:19she threw under the bus
29:20and she didn't say
29:20that she went to the cops.
29:22But you think it's me.
29:24If I had to guess,
29:26yes.
29:27But if it makes you
29:28feel better,
29:28if it was you,
29:29she felt terrible about it.
29:31I don't give a damn
29:32about Nina's feelings.
29:33I thought we were
29:34we were friends.
29:36We were in this together.
29:38I trusted her.
29:41I'm so sorry.
29:42You know,
29:43I feel partly responsible
29:44because I'm the person
29:45that put the two of you
29:46in touch.
29:47But Nina doesn't know
29:49why Drew
29:50was blackmailing you
29:51or that you tampered
29:53with Heather Weber's
29:54test results.
29:55It doesn't matter.
29:56Once the police are involved,
29:58they're gonna figure it out.
30:00They'll question Drew.
30:02They'll question Brad Cooper
30:03if they can find him.
30:04So not only
30:06could I lose my job,
30:08my career,
30:08I could also be
30:09arrested for attempted murder?
30:12And what if I'm convicted?
30:15I can't give birth
30:16to my child in prison.
30:19What about Curtis?
30:21What kind of access
30:21to the court
30:22of mainstates he have?
30:23He and Michael
30:24run Aurora Media together.
30:28I guess he's probably
30:29had access to that house
30:30on occasion.
30:32Woody Frang Willow?
30:34Possibly,
30:35if he thought
30:35she was a strong
30:36enough suspect.
30:38I guess.
30:40Coralie is an
30:42interesting suspect.
30:43She's got access
30:43to the weapon.
30:45She even confessed
30:45to Hannah
30:46that she threatened
30:46to kill Drew
30:47and Framing Willow
30:48is a no-brainer
30:49for her.
30:49She hates what she's
30:50done to Michael
30:51and their family.
30:52It's true.
30:53We can put her
30:54at Elizabeth's house
30:56before we found the gun.
30:58Yeah, you'd think
30:58that having a WSB
31:00bureau chief
31:01as your alibi
31:01would be a slam dunk.
31:02Yeah, I guess
31:03not when he's
31:04your boyfriend.
31:05Yeah, I guess not.
31:07You guys haven't
31:08really looked into
31:08Tracy or Sonny,
31:09but I guess
31:10that's justifiable.
31:11I mean, Tracy
31:12kind of saved Drew's
31:13life when she called
31:13it in,
31:14and Sonny...
31:16I don't know, man.
31:17I think your dad
31:17would be smarter
31:18about the whole thing.
31:19Yeah, we kind of
31:19felt like that
31:20wasn't the right
31:20direction.
31:23So,
31:23what's your take?
31:26I think the
31:27investigation's
31:28pretty, uh,
31:29pretty comprehensive.
31:29I think Carly
31:30and Michael
31:31are question marks.
31:33And I think
31:33we need to
31:33take a look at Curtis.
31:36Stone, maybe now
31:37is not the time
31:38to have this conversation.
31:39I think we should
31:40stop her.
31:41No, no, no.
31:42Let her cook.
31:43Miss Henry,
31:44I'm sure you don't
31:44want to cause
31:45a scene here.
31:47Just because
31:48I don't want to
31:49doesn't mean
31:49I won't.
31:51And I have nothing
31:51to be embarrassed
31:52about.
31:53You, on the other
31:55hand, should crawl
31:56up under this bar
31:57in shame.
31:59You abused
32:00the power
32:01of your office
32:02to have me
32:02investigated
32:03by a government
32:04department
32:05and then threaten
32:06me with prison.
32:08That was completely
32:09and utterly
32:10corrupt.
32:12Mm-hmm.
32:13And you did it all
32:13to get back
32:14at my nephew.
32:16It's my understanding
32:17that you are the one
32:18that's been accused
32:19of corruption
32:20and fraud.
32:21But you know what?
32:22Honestly, I understand.
32:24You reach a certain age
32:25and things can get
32:26a little confusing.
32:27What?
32:28No, no, no, no.
32:29Hey, Stella.
32:29Stella?
32:30Hey, Stella.
32:31Okay, look.
32:32Everybody regrets
32:33the misunderstanding
32:33led to the government
32:35overstepping.
32:36Clearly, they were wrong.
32:37But the situation
32:38has resolved.
32:39Maybe we should
32:40just let bygones
32:41be bygones.
32:43Martin, as your friend,
32:46I strongly advise you
32:47to reconsider
32:48working for a
32:49snake-like Drew.
32:51He destroys
32:52everything he touches.
32:55Just look what
32:55he did to Willow.
32:57And I don't believe
32:57she had it in her
32:58to shoot you,
32:59but she's in the mess
33:01she's in
33:01because half this town
33:03is outraged
33:04with you.
33:04I'm sorry.
33:05Are you saying
33:05that it was my fault
33:07that someone shot me?
33:10You know,
33:11a smarter man
33:12would have changed
33:12his ways
33:13after something like that.
33:14But you
33:15are just
33:16as despicable
33:17as ever.
33:18And I wouldn't
33:19be surprised
33:19if someone else
33:20took a shot
33:21at your ass.
33:22You deserve it.
33:23Aunt Stella,
33:24our food's arrived.
33:25We don't want it
33:25to get bold.
33:26Fine.
33:28I have nothing
33:29more to say
33:29to this sorry
33:30excuse for a man.
33:32I don't want to
33:33ruin my appetite.
33:35Hey, Curtis.
33:37You might want
33:37to remind your aunt
33:38that investigations,
33:40they can be reopened.
33:46So no one can find
33:47Professor Dalton?
33:48Not yet.
33:50I hope he's gone for good.
33:52Me too.
33:53Without him to testify,
33:54there's no case
33:55against you.
33:55And then we'd all
33:56be in the clear.
33:57Even with Dalton gone,
34:01there's a reality
34:02we need to face.
34:05Those kids in there
34:05have a strong connection
34:06with Sonny,
34:07with your mom,
34:08with Britt,
34:08with Valentin.
34:10And every one
34:10of those people
34:11has a long list
34:12of enemies.
34:14And those enemies
34:15won't hesitate
34:15to use our kids.
34:17You're right.
34:19Our children have
34:20targets on their backs.
34:22And we have
34:22to keep them safe.
34:25Babe,
34:25I am so happy
34:26for you.
34:27I know how much
34:28this means to you.
34:29First time I have hope
34:30that Gio and I
34:32can actually have
34:33a relationship.
34:34It's all because
34:35of Michael.
34:36I'm glad he could
34:37do that for you.
34:39I was so focused
34:40on Willow's innocence
34:41I forgot how kind
34:42and caring he could be.
34:46He was there for you
34:47when I wasn't.
34:48I wasn't trying
34:49to make you feel guilty.
34:51I know,
34:51but it's a reminder
34:52to keep my priorities straight.
34:53you are the most
34:57important thing
34:58to me.
34:59And I hope
35:00you believe that.
35:01Of course I do.
35:03And you are
35:04my number one
35:04priority too.
35:06Just to prove it,
35:08I'm going to help you
35:09roast a turkey tomorrow
35:10against my better
35:12judgment.
35:13But just in case,
35:15there's a new pizza place
35:16and it's supposed
35:16to be great.
35:18You have no idea
35:21what it means to me
35:22to be back
35:24in your life.
35:24Just please
35:25don't make me
35:26regret it.
35:28Willow,
35:30fresh start.
35:32In that case,
35:34I hope you'll come
35:36to the wedding.
35:38Yes,
35:39I will be there.
35:42Wonderful.
35:43Now we have something
35:44to thoroughly celebrate.
35:45Nina said
35:49that there may be
35:50a way to prove
35:50that Michael
35:51was not with Jacinda
35:53when Drew was shot.
35:54And if that happens,
35:55then he goes right
35:56to the top
35:57of the suspect list
35:58and nobody
35:58even looks at you.
36:01What if they can't
36:02disprove Michael's alibi?
36:04Then you have to
36:05answer a few questions
36:06with a lawyer,
36:07of course.
36:09Great.
36:12Portia,
36:12I didn't tell you
36:13this to upset you.
36:14I just,
36:15I want you
36:15to be prepared.
36:17No,
36:17I appreciate the warning
36:18and I appreciate
36:20you being a
36:21true friend.
36:23Unlike Nina.
36:25Because of her,
36:25I might have to
36:26account for my
36:27whereabouts that night.
36:29And that could
36:30land me in a
36:31different kind of trouble.
36:33So,
36:34why
36:35Curtis?
36:37He's an ex-cop,
36:39former P.I.
36:39He knows how
36:40to cover his tracks.
36:41And he can't
36:42account for his
36:42whereabouts the entire
36:43evening.
36:44Well, he was at the
36:45Brown Dog Bar
36:45with Jordan.
36:46Yeah, but that was
36:47only after he was
36:48supposedly in his
36:49office alone
36:50during the time
36:51when Drew was shot.
36:51Right.
36:53I don't know.
36:53I just,
36:53I just feel like,
36:55personally,
36:56I feel like he's
36:56had the weakest
36:57motive.
36:59I don't know
37:01Curtis well enough
37:01to say one way
37:02or the other
37:03whether the business
37:03angle would be
37:04enough to push him
37:05over to the edge.
37:05but I do know
37:06that the investigation
37:07of his aunt
37:08was deeply personal.
37:10That,
37:10while Drew
37:11would never admit
37:12to it,
37:12everybody knows,
37:13Drew was behind it.
37:14And then after the
37:14shooting,
37:15the investigation
37:15just kind of
37:16went away.
37:19You know,
37:19maybe there's
37:19something else
37:20going on there.
37:21Maybe,
37:21Rhett,
37:22maybe we should
37:24take another look
37:25at Curtis,
37:26starting with
37:26his alibi.
37:28Well,
37:29that was
37:30pretty intense.
37:31so good
37:33to give that
37:33fool a piece
37:34of my mind.
37:36But now
37:37I'm starting
37:37to wonder
37:38if I shouldn't
37:38have provoked him.
37:40Well,
37:40don't worry
37:40about Drew.
37:42I'll protect
37:43my family
37:43from him.
37:46By any means
37:47necessary.
37:49Stella,
37:49Henry,
37:50stays off
37:51your revenge list
37:51or I can't
37:52continue to work
37:53for you.
37:53I promised
37:54you that I
37:55wouldn't go
37:55after her
37:56and I won't.
37:58Besides,
37:59she's gonna
37:59suffer enough
38:01when I destroy
38:02her beloved nephew
38:03for shooting me.
38:06You still think
38:07it was Curtis?
38:11Absolutely.
38:12Especially
38:12after the
38:13blackmail material
38:14I have against
38:15his wife
38:15magically disappeared
38:17that night
38:17from my safe.
38:19But Michael
38:20needs to be
38:20the one
38:21that goes down
38:21for this.
38:24As for Curtis,
38:25I, uh,
38:26I'll find
38:29another way
38:30to make him
38:31next week
38:38on General Hospital.
38:39This is our
38:39wedding day.
38:40It's gonna be
38:40perfect.
38:41We can walk
38:41out of here
38:42right now.
38:42You are the one
38:43who's tempting fate.
38:44We both have a lot
38:45to be thankful for.
38:46So what are you doing here?
38:47That's all the revenge
38:48you need.
