00:00Honey, I know that your heart is in the right place, but you can't...
00:02Don't say it. Don't even think it.
00:04Thanksgiving is always a huge disaster for us.
00:07It's when the kitchen's curse comes alive.
00:09There's no way that it will ever let you cook a successful turkey dinner in this house.
00:15Feels like I've been gone forever.
00:21I feel the same way.
00:25But you're here.
00:26And I can't tell you how happy and relieved I am.
00:33Your grandmother would have been here too, but she got pulled into some mayoral business.
00:38But Charlotte and Danny are anxious to see you.
00:49Are you sure you're feeling okay?
00:52I'm good.
00:53I'm good.
00:54I'm just really glad to be home.
00:58Me too.
01:05I love you so much, my sweet boy.
01:09The new Gavin Ziegler exhibit had a really great showing.
01:12I thought it would.
01:13Oh, by the way, was Jordan interested in any of the pieces you showed her yesterday?
01:18Well, I'm afraid Jordan's going to be taking her business elsewhere.
01:21And that's on me.
01:24Why?
01:25I kind of told her that I was going to make sure that my dad never goes back to her.
01:31I know.
01:32I'm sorry.
01:33Hi.
01:33Hey.
01:34I got held up with a patient.
01:36No problem.
01:37Auntie, let me ask you a question.
01:39Uh-huh.
01:39How would you feel about dining at Café Cherie tonight?
01:45Why?
01:45Did we miss our reservation?
01:48No.
01:51Oh.
01:52I see.
01:53Well, I know you'd never give that man the satisfaction of running you out of here,
01:57so I assumed that offer was for my benefit.
02:01We can go somewhere else if you'd like.
02:03Not a chance.
02:05If anyone should leave here with their tail between their legs, it's Drew.
02:10Okay.
02:10Well, just let me know when it's rescheduled.
02:12I'd like to be there in person.
02:13Sorry, Martin.
02:17That's fine.
02:17What's with the last-minute dinner?
02:22I have some exciting news to share.
02:25About?
02:26About me?
02:28And Willow.
02:30Uh, Liesel.
02:31I know I'm here without notice, but may I come in?
02:34Sure.
02:37What brings you by?
02:43I understand you're getting married.
02:45And let me guess, you're here to change my mind?
02:49Hey, uh, so Rocco made bail.
02:52He's on his way home with Lulu.
02:53That's great, man.
02:54Yeah.
02:55Look, I know you caught some flack for doing that.
02:57I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated you hauling him out of juvie,
03:00especially after he got roughed up.
03:03It was, uh, not easy seeing him like that.
03:06Yeah, but...
03:07Hey, look.
03:09You'd have done the same for me, and you know it.
03:11I'm happy I could help.
03:14I'm also happy Turner gave me a pass.
03:16Yeah.
03:18Uh, well, look.
03:19You're not only a good friend, you're a damn good cop,
03:21which is why I want your help on a case.
03:29We have to take another look
03:31into who shot Drew.
03:34Why?
03:34We reopening the case.
03:38Can you pass me a pen?
03:40Oh.
03:41No way!
03:45My turn.
03:47Oh.
03:48I'll take a 649.
03:49The next Lotto 649 draw,
03:51the gold ball will be at 32 million.
03:56Oh my God,
03:57what do those juvie psychos do to you?
03:59It's all good.
03:59Kind of a badass, huh?
04:01Girls like scars, don't they?
04:03Bro, that's...
04:03That's tats.
04:04And you don't have to worry.
04:09Char and I will make sure you never have to go back to that place again.
04:13Proof that Dalton was straight up lying about you trashing his lab.
04:16I heard.
04:17Nothing like being home, right?
04:19That's for sure.
04:20Why don't you guys catch each other up?
04:23Will Jason and I talk?
04:24I thought you got along with Jordan.
04:38I did.
04:39Until I realized that my parents' marriage never stood a chance with her waiting in the wings all the time.
04:44When their marriage showed the first sign of weakness, she was right there, ready to exploit it.
04:50Well, I can deal with losing a sale.
04:53But at the end of the day, sweetheart, you can't stop her from seeing your father.
04:58I can if I ask him not to be with her.
05:01He'll listen to me.
05:02Well, he might.
05:04But any time you give somebody an ultimatum, they end up resenting you for it.
05:10Doesn't he care how much I resent her?
05:12Or is that who?
05:19No, we're not going to reopen the investigation.
05:22Well, I'm a little confused.
05:24I mean, hasn't the PCPD kind of already done its thing?
05:27We filed charges against Willow.
05:28She's looking at a trial date next month.
05:30Right.
05:31This is going to be more preemptive.
05:34Turner wants to try and anticipate what Alexis is going to do.
05:37And what she thinks she's going to do is blame the PCPD for botching the investigation.
05:41So, we've got to come up with an effective counter-argument.
05:45I need your eyes and expertise on these suspects.
05:48Make sure we didn't miss anything.
05:50Look, I'm happy to do it.
05:51But wouldn't Chase be the better call?
05:54I mean, he actually worked the case.
05:56Uh, yeah, no.
05:58Chase wouldn't be the better call.
05:59I don't want him as far away from this as possible.
06:02Go ahead.
06:03Tell me what a huge mistake I'm making.
06:05That's not why I'm here.
06:08So, are you here to congratulate me?
06:12Marrying Drew is not my first choice for you.
06:15That is your life.
06:16I'm not here to criticize.
06:19Since when?
06:21Willow, I am your family.
06:23And even if I don't agree with your decision,
06:26you will still have my support.
06:27Thank you, Aunt Liesel.
06:31That means a lot.
06:32Don't thank me.
06:33Thank your mother.
06:34She's the one who talked some sense into me.
06:37So, I guess congratulations are in order.
06:41Um, when is the big day?
06:44Thanksgiving.
06:47This Thanksgiving?
06:49Yeah.
06:49Yeah, we're just keeping it simple.
06:51Just close friends, family, at the house.
06:54I hope you can make it.
06:56Um, yeah, sure.
06:58I'll be there.
06:59Great.
07:00Well, in that case, um,
07:02would you be willing to officiate?
07:05Ah, well, I'd, um,
07:08I assume I'd be honored.
07:11I, I, I'm sorry.
07:12Um, I feel duty-bound to ask.
07:14This, this rush to get married,
07:15it's not sort of an ill-conceived attempt
07:18to bolster Willow's image trial, is it?
07:21I think it'll have a good impression on the jury.
07:24That I, the victim, believe in her innocence.
07:27But, I also love Willow,
07:29and I can't wait to make her my wife.
07:32Well, then, good for you.
07:35You know, I, I, I gotta be honest.
07:37After what happened at your last wedding,
07:40I wouldn't think you'd ever be able to win her back.
07:44I think a lot of people would have agreed with you.
07:47But, you know me, I don't give up.
07:50And I always get what I want.
07:53Except for Measure C passing, of course.
07:56I'm talking about everything that I really want.
07:59Like Willow.
08:00And getting revenge on those that have crossed me.
08:03You know my cooking skills have improved.
08:06I'm ready to take on the challenge of a holiday meal.
08:09Great.
08:10Groundhog Day doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.
08:12Oh, come on.
08:14Even Olivia has given up.
08:15That's why she wants to get a pizza oven installed.
08:18Look, I've been checking out recipes.
08:20And I think I can make a great turkey.
08:22With your assistance, of course.
08:23Honey, it's not that I don't want to help you.
08:25It's just been 30 years since someone's been able to get a turkey
08:27on the quarter main dining room table.
08:29An edible one, at least.
08:31But it's never been you and me doing it.
08:33The two of us can conquer anything.
08:35Plus, with everything your family's been through lately.
08:38Monica's passing.
08:39Your dad's heart attack.
08:41I just want to do something nice for everyone.
08:43This really means a lot to you, doesn't it?
08:48Michael?
08:51Sorry to interrupt.
08:52I'll go.
08:53No, no, no.
08:54No, wait.
08:54Uh, Chase and I were actually just talking about possibly cooking a Thanksgiving dinner
08:59for the family.
09:00Wouldn't it be his year to just get like a pizza oven or something?
09:03Oh, maybe.
09:04Just maybe.
09:05If we all pull together, this will be the year that it finally works out.
09:09I don't know.
09:12Might not be a good idea for me and Chase to be in the kitchen.
09:15You know, with all those knives.
09:19Who do you say we order appetizers before Trina comes?
09:24Aunt Stella, if you're going to give Drew the stink eye all night, then we're not going
09:30to have a good time.
09:31So we might as well just leave.
09:34Now, why don't you distract me with something much more important?
09:39Like, how are things between you and Portia?
09:42Two of you reconciled yet?
09:43Mom, I didn't know you were coming by.
09:47What are you doing here?
09:48Well, I was hoping that you and I could grab some dinner together tonight.
09:52Ava, you're more than welcome to join us.
09:54Oh, thanks, Portia.
09:55But I have some things to finish up here.
09:57Okay.
09:57And, uh, I'm sorry to say, but I already have plans with Dad and Aunt Stella.
10:02But, I mean, I don't suppose that you'd want to come?
10:06That's a very sweet offer.
10:07But I think it's best if I just, you know, don't.
10:12But I want you to go.
10:12I want you to go and have fun.
10:14And can you tell them for me that I won't be able to make it to Thanksgiving dinner?
10:17Why not?
10:18Uh, Dr. Randolph needs to go see her father.
10:21He's not doing well.
10:22So I'm going to cover for her that night.
10:23Well, that is so kind of you to do that for her.
10:27Right.
10:29Is this how it's always going to be from now on?
10:33You and Dad just can't be in the same room together?
10:35No, honey, of course not.
10:37I just feel like my family's being torn apart.
10:41Honey, that's never going to happen.
10:44Your father and I, we're always going to work together to do what's right by you.
10:48I know that you'll both try.
10:51I'm just worried that I'm going to lose one of you.
10:56Uh-uh.
10:57It's never going to happen.
10:57I did something a little drastic to clear my daughter's name.
11:08No, you didn't confess, did you?
11:10No, but I did throw someone under the bus as a possible suspect.
11:15Yeah, I don't think Turner's going to get what she needs out of Chase, not with his bias towards Willow.
11:24I'm battling my own bias with Michael.
11:26Yeah, Willow's my niece.
11:27Yeah, but you didn't have a personal relationship with her.
11:29Anyway, I want to look at the other suspects today.
11:33All right.
11:33All right, I'm in.
11:35You're buying me dinner, though.
11:35I'm hungry.
11:36Yeah, done.
11:36Whatever.
11:38Okay.
11:39So, where do we start?
11:42I guess we got to start with Michael.
11:47Michael, Chase has nothing against you.
11:49Yeah, other than believing I'm a cold-blooded, would-be killer, right?
11:53What I believe is that Willow is innocent.
11:55And I'm not going to apologize for asking questions about who else could be responsible for shooting Drew.
12:01Even if that includes you.
12:04Well, so much for family loyalty.
12:06I have to be objective.
12:07Yeah, except you're not.
12:08Now, you are so convinced that Willow's innocent because you think you know her so well.
12:13I do.
12:15Oh, yeah?
12:16Well, then it should come as no surprise to you that she and Drew are getting married on Thanksgiving.
12:23Does this mean Nina knows I'm marrying Drew?
12:25Yes.
12:26We were together when your fiancée ran into us and made sure to share the news.
12:31Initially, I was less than thrilled.
12:34I'm sure Nina felt the same.
12:36She did.
12:41But after Drew left and Nina had a moment, she realized the most important thing is your happiness.
12:48You are happy, yes?
12:50Of course.
12:50In that case, your mother believes we should support you wholeheartedly.
12:56Personally, I think wholeheartedly is a bit much, but here I am.
13:01Well, I appreciate the gesture.
13:04And if it's true that Nina helped you come to that conclusion, then I suppose you can thank her for me.
13:09Why don't you thank her yourself?
13:11Isn't it time you made amends with your mother?
13:13So, I haven't told the kids yet, but I got word that we should not bring them in to give their statement.
13:21I think I know why.
13:23Henry Dalton was the most to meet with ADA Turner, and he didn't show up.
13:28The PCPD sent officers to the PCU and the Metro Coeurys, but there was no sign of him.
13:34So, what, he just took off?
13:36I don't know.
13:36It's possible.
13:38Maybe you realized he couldn't perjure himself.
13:41Or maybe Sonny had something to do with this.
13:45Michael's got one of the strongest motives to shoot during one of the weakest alibis.
13:50And what else?
13:52Boy's got access to the weapon used in the shooting, and he's got access to the room that Willow was staying in when he was at Elizabeth's house.
13:58When he was here waiting for Willow?
13:59Yeah, alone.
14:01And Hannah went back the next day with the warrant.
14:02Found the gun.
14:04So, Michael, we got motive.
14:08We got a weak alibi.
14:10We have access to the weapon.
14:12We have the opportunity to plant the weapon.
14:14We have motive to plant the weapon.
14:15That's a lot to ignore.
14:16Yeah, it is, but I can't put him at the scene.
14:18Well, we can't put Willow at the scene, either.
14:20No, but Alexis is going to point the jury in Michael's direction.
14:23Yeah, but if Michael and Jacinda Bracken stick to their story, then Alexis is not going to get anywhere.
14:27I mean, has anybody been able to shake their alibi?
14:29Not yet.
14:32Well, I might be a bit biased when it comes to my sister.
14:39I wish she didn't do herself any favors coming up with a fake alibi for her and Willow.
14:43No, she didn't, but she's on the security footage in her building, and the time Drew was shot.
14:49So, unless she found another way out.
14:51Yeah, but if there was one, she would have talked about it to maintain her alibi.
14:53Yeah.
14:53You know, I know Nina would do anything to keep Drew away from Willow, but I think Nina's a long shot on this one.
15:00Aunt Liesel, how can I forgive Nina after all the lies she's told?
15:04Because she's your mother, and because she loves you.
15:08But it's part of a larger pattern.
15:10She screws up, begs for my forgiveness, then screws up again.
15:13And you have no forgiveness for those who make mistakes?
15:18If that's the case, married life may not be for you.
15:21No, I do, but I'm just tired of it.
15:25I understand.
15:27And Nina has made mistakes.
15:29Many of them.
15:31But I'd like to be frank with you, if I may.
15:34Sure.
15:35You're acting like an ungrateful, petulant child.
15:39Excuse me?
15:40From the moment Nina found out you were her daughter, she has done nothing but love you.
15:46Has she made mistakes along the way?
15:47Most certainly.
15:48But you must see how hard she fights for you.
15:51How she protects you.
15:52She has stood by your side through so much, and yet you turn your back on her.
15:57Even when she admits she is wrong.
16:00That is not how family works.
16:02It's time you make amends with your mother.
16:08And now's your chance.
16:10What do you mean?
16:17That can't possibly be true.
16:19I had a follow-up appointment at GH, and I overheard her and invited Elizabeth to the wedding.
16:24And she was once again sporting Lila's engagement ring.
16:28The one that you gave her?
16:30Yeah.
16:30I'm so sorry, Michael.
16:31That is appalling.
16:33Well, clearly it wasn't Willow's idea.
16:35It was Drew's.
16:39My daughter's really struggling with this divorce.
16:43Try not to worry too much about it.
16:45She will get through it, and she will be just fine.
16:48When I came in here, I heard her say she resented her.
16:51Who was she talking about?
16:56Was it Jordan?
16:58Me?
17:00You know what?
17:01Never mind.
17:01I don't want the answer to that question.
17:04Portia, I promise you, it was not you.
17:08Well, that's a relief.
17:09But we both know that could change very quickly.
17:13If it turns out Curtis isn't the father of this baby.
17:17You haven't told her about it, then?
17:18No.
17:19Nope.
17:20I'm not telling anyone until the end of the first trimester.
17:23Because of my age, you know, I want to take things one step at a time.
17:27And I'm not getting a paternity test until then.
17:31Smart.
17:31But here I am telling Trina that she doesn't have to worry about losing me.
17:37But I'm so afraid of losing her.
17:41I don't want to add to your worries.
17:44But there is something else that could end up separating you and your daughter.
17:49No, no, no.
17:50What now?
17:51Auntie, I know you probably don't want to hear this, but Portia and I are going through with the divorce.
17:57Even with the child on the way?
17:59But we are completely committed to co-parenting.
18:03It won't be the same, Curtis.
18:06Check this out.
18:13Oh, Curtis.
18:15Can't really make it out yet, but can you imagine Trina with a little sister or brother?
18:21I can.
18:23And I love the joy in your voice.
18:29Yeah, well, I missed out on these moments when Portia was pregnant with Trina.
18:34So this is a whole new experience for me.
18:37And that right there is why you need to stay married.
18:41So you don't miss out on one moment of this child's life.
18:45I take it that Michael is still at the top of your revenge list?
18:51I still wish that I would have claimed I remembered him shooting me, but I just, I just waited too long.
18:59And now that Willow's been arrested, people would just assume we're lying to try to protect her.
19:03Yeah, I wish I wouldn't have waited.
19:05Could have spared Willow this entire horrible trial.
19:08Alexis is doing everything she can for her defense.
19:11She better, or she's not going to see her grandchild ever again.
19:15You know something?
19:16You don't have to keep threatening Alexis.
19:18She is a damn fine attorney.
19:21She believes in her client.
19:23She believes she can prove her innocence.
19:24I still would feel better if you were sitting co-counsel with her.
19:27No.
19:29Alexis is a one-woman show.
19:31It's all Willow needs.
19:33The wedding may be one thing, the courtroom is another.
19:36The best thing you can do is step back and let Alexis Davis do her thing.
19:40Well, if anything goes wrong, I'm going to hold you both responsible.
19:43Duly noted.
19:44I have faith.
19:45Best wedding present you could have possibly given Willow is hiring Alexis.
19:49No.
19:51The best wedding present I could give Willow is her freedom and then her children, and that means putting Michael behind bars.
19:58And once I've achieved those goals, then, well, then I can focus on the other people that have made the mistake of crossing me.
20:10I can't thank you enough for the way you sacrificed yourself for us, but next time, you need to game out all the ramifications.
20:17Before you do anything, you need to remember you're the grandson of Mayor Laura Collins and Sonny Corinthos.
20:22Dalton and the ADA might have been harsher on you because of that.
20:25I hear you, but I still know I did the right thing, and I'd do it again, including breaking into that lab.
20:31Even though we didn't find any proof of illegal animal testing?
20:35Yeah.
20:36I mean, it was kind of exciting.
20:37It was.
20:39Hey, we're pretty good at it.
20:41We were, until we got caught.
20:43Come on.
20:44It might not be the same as being on the run in Europe, but admit it.
20:47You got a thrill out of it, too.
20:49Okay, yeah.
20:50It was pretty cool.
20:51Well, if that's your way of asking if Sonny had Dogg killed, I can assure you he didn't.
21:03Well, that's a relief.
21:05Well, sort of.
21:08Because it means that Dalton took off on his own, and he can pop back up at any time.
21:14Look, Drew is the one who put the ring on Willow's finger.
21:17Yeah, and she accepted the ring and agreed to marry my uncle.
21:20Or did Drew make her do that, too?
21:22So she just forgives him for everything?
21:25I don't know what she is thinking, but it is not good.
21:28Yeah, unless she loves him.
21:29Or she thinks marrying the man that she's accused of shooting will somehow make her look innocent.
21:33Or hell, maybe it's even both.
21:35All I know is, I don't give a damn anymore.
21:46He has a point.
21:48I mean, what if this is just Willow's ploy to stay out of prison?
21:53Nina and I drove over together, and I told her to wait in the car.
21:56So you could butter me up before you ambushed me.
21:59Alisa, I told you this was a bad idea.
22:00I'm just going to wait for you.
22:01No, come inside.
22:03The two of you need to work things out before the wedding.
22:09Drew, he invited us to the ceremony, but if you don't want me there, I will stay away.
22:14Why would you even want to come?
22:15You hate that I'm with him.
22:17You hate him.
22:19You even hired a hooker to drug him to try to break us up.
22:22Yes, that's true.
22:23I did.
22:24But I will learn to accept the two of you if that means that I can be part of your life again.
22:34Sweetheart, I've missed you.
22:37And if you could just find it in your heart to forgive me.
22:42Knowing me, yes, I guarantee that I am going to disappoint you again.
22:46But I can promise you this.
22:49That I will love and support you for the rest of your life, no matter what.
22:54No matter what.
22:56Just give me another chance.
23:01Nina told me something in confidence.
23:04But I feel justified in telling you because she broke yours first.
23:08Eva, what do you know?
23:09When Nina's alibi for Willow fell apart, she was desperate to get the heat off her daughter.
23:18So she decided to shine a light on an alternate suspect.
23:24Did Nina tell the police that Drew was blackmailing me?
23:27You'll be happy to know all the Thanksgiving shopping is done.
23:32And I got everything on your list.
23:33So we are completely prepared for tomorrow.
23:35Oh, look at you.
23:37Well, thank you for saving me a shopping trip.
23:39Of course.
23:41But I still don't know how many people I'm cooking for.
23:43Is your mother still coming?
23:46No.
23:46She has to work.
23:48But she did want me to tell you how sorry she was.
23:51I'm sorry to hear it.
23:53But you will remember to take her a plate, right?
23:56Oh, yeah, for sure.
23:56Of course, Portia will be missed.
23:59But I think especially at this time of year, we should focus on our blessings.
24:04Right.
24:05All we have is each other, which wasn't a guarantee a couple of months ago.
24:09I was so scared that we'd lose you when you were targeted for that fraud investigation.
24:15We all know whose fault that was.
24:18That awful man used the power of his office to target our family.
24:22And I think it's way past time I said something to him about it.
24:30Uh-oh.
24:30Uh-oh.
24:31Uh-Stella?
24:31See?
24:32Uh-Stella.
24:32Uh-Stella.
24:33So you still have a grudge against Curtis?
24:36Yeah.
24:37Don't waste your breath trying to talk me out of it.

28:19I think Michael's trying to make Willow look guilty.
28:22Oh, she's not doing herself any favors.
28:24I'm surprised you're defending him.
28:26I was under the impression you were starting to consider the possibility
28:29that he could be guilty.
28:30Well, I changed my mind.
28:32After what happened yesterday at the hospital.
28:35What happened?
28:37I was at the hospital worried about my dad.
28:39And Michael stopped by.
28:41He was so supportive about Rocco and Gio and about my dad.
28:46About all of it.
28:48I told him how I wished I could reach out to Gio.
28:50The way that Dante spoke to him was horrible.
28:53So, Michael called Gio, asked him to come to the hospital so the two of us could talk.
28:59How'd that go?
29:00Better than I ever could have imagined.
29:02It's like he finally understood why I made the choices I did.
29:06It's like this weight was lifted off of my shoulders.
29:09And for him, too.
29:11Well, I'm sure it was.
29:12The two of you have been carrying around some very heavy stuff.
29:15He called me Mom.
29:17Gio?
29:18He said, thanks, Mom.
29:22Just for a moment, even a quick one.
29:25I could feel our connection.
29:27I felt like my heart was gonna burst.
29:29I was just telling Aunt Liesel that I keep giving you chance after chance, and you keep screwing it up.
29:42But then, I have made a few mistakes myself, and you have stood by me through all of them.
29:51And I always will, if you let me.
29:54And that's what family does, right?
29:56And since we are family, maybe we can work on having a relationship.
30:06I'm incredibly grateful.
30:08I'm not sure I'll ever fully trust you again.
30:11Or that we'll be as close as we once were.
30:13But I am willing to let you be a part of my life, because the truth is...
30:19I've missed you, too.
30:24I can't believe it.
30:25I can't believe Nina betrayed me like that.
30:27Okay, hold on now.
30:28I'm not entirely sure she did.
30:31She didn't actually say you were the one she threw under the bus.
30:35And she didn't say that she went to the cops.
30:37But you think it's me.
30:38If I had to guess, yes.
30:41But if it makes you feel better, if it was you, she felt terrible about it.
30:45I don't give a damn about Nina's feelings.
30:47I thought we were friends.
30:49We were in this together.
30:51I trusted her.
30:53I'm so sorry.
30:55You know, I feel partly responsible because I'm the person that put the two of you in touch.
31:00But Nina doesn't know why Drew was blackmailing you.
31:04Or that you tampered with Heather Weber's test results.
31:07It doesn't matter.
31:09Once the police are involved, they're going to figure it out.
31:12They'll question Drew.
31:13They'll question Brad Cooper if they can find him.
31:17So not only could I lose my job, my career, I could also be arrested for attempted murder?
31:22And what if I'm convicted?
31:26I can't give birth to my child in prison.
31:29What about Curtis?
31:31What kind of access to the court of man's estates he have?
31:34He and Michael run Aurora Media together.
31:38I guess he's probably had access to that house on occasion.
31:41Would he frame Willow?
31:44Possibly, if he thought she was a strong enough suspect.
31:47I guess.
31:50Coralie is an interesting suspect.
31:51She's got access to the weapon.
31:53She even confessed to Hannah that she threatened to kill Drew.
31:56And framing Willow is a no-brainer for her.
31:58She hates what she's done to Michael and their family.
32:00It's true.
32:02We can put her at Elizabeth's house before we found the gun.
32:06Yeah, you'd think that having a WSB bureau chief as your alibi would be a slam dunk.
32:10Yeah, I guess not when he's your boyfriend.
32:12Yeah, I guess not.
32:14You guys haven't really looked into Tracy or Sonny, but I guess that's justifiable.
32:18I mean, Tracy kind of saved Drew's life when she called it in.
32:21And Sonny, I don't know, man.
32:23I think your dad would be smarter about the whole thing.
32:25Yeah, we kind of felt like that wasn't the right direction.
32:27So, what's your take?
32:32I think the investigation's pretty, uh, pretty comprehensive.
32:35I think Carly and Michael are question marks.
32:38And I think we need to take a look at Curtis.
32:41Stone, maybe now's not the time to have this conversation.
32:44I think we should stop her.
32:46No, no, no.
32:47Let her cook.
32:48Miss Henry, I'm sure you don't want to cause a scene here.
32:51Just because I don't want to doesn't mean I won't.
32:55And I have nothing to be embarrassed about.
32:57You, on the other hand, should crawl up under this bar in shame.
33:03You abused the power of your office to have me investigated by a government department?
33:08And then threatened me with prison?
33:11That was completely and utterly corrupt.
33:15Mm-hmm.
33:15And you did it all to get back at my nephew.
33:18It's my understanding that you are the one that's been accused of corruption and fraud.
33:23But you know what?
33:24Honestly, I understand.
33:26You reach a certain age and things can get a little confusing.
33:29What?
33:29No, no, no, no, no.
33:30Hey, Stella.
33:31Stella?
33:32Hey, Stella.
33:33Okay, look.
33:33Everybody regrets the misunderstanding led to the government overstepping.
33:37Clearly, they were wrong.
33:38But the situation has resolved.
33:40Maybe we should just let bygones be bygones.
33:42Martin, as your friend, I strongly advise you to reconsider working for a snake-like Drew.
33:51He destroys everything he touches.
33:54Just look what he did to Willow.
33:56And I don't believe she had it in her to shoot you, but she's in the mess she's in because half this town is outraged with you.
34:04I'm sorry.
34:04Are you saying that it was my fault that someone shot me?
34:07You know, a smarter man would have changed his ways after something like that.
34:13But you are just as despicable as ever.
34:16And I wouldn't be surprised if someone else took a shot at your ass.
34:20You deserve it.
34:21Aunt Stella, our food's arrived.
34:22We don't want it to be a fault.
34:24Fine.
34:25I have nothing more to say to this sorry excuse for a man.
34:28I don't want to ruin my appetite.
34:31Hey, Curtis.
34:33You might want to remind your aunt that investigations, they can be reopened.
34:41So no one can find Professor Dalton?
34:43Not yet.
34:45I hope he's gone for good.
34:47Me too.
34:48Without him to testify, there's no case against you.
34:50And then we'd all be in the clear.
34:51Even with Dalton gone, there's a reality we need to face.
34:59Those kids in there have a strong connection with Sonny, with your mom, with Britt, with Valentin.
35:03And every one of those people has a long list of enemies.
35:07And those enemies won't hesitate to use our kids.
35:11You're right.
35:12Our children have targets on their backs.
35:15And we have to keep them safe.
35:17Babe, I am so happy for you.
35:20I know how much this means to you.
35:21For the first time, I have hope that Gio and I can actually have a relationship.
35:26It's all because of Michael.
35:28I'm glad he could do that for you.
35:31I was so focused on Willow's innocence, I forgot how kind and caring he could be.
35:37He was there for you when I wasn't.
35:39I wasn't trying to make you feel guilty.
35:42I know.
35:42But it's a reminder to keep my priorities straight.
35:45You are the most important thing to me.
35:48And I hope you believe that.
35:51Of course I do.
35:53And you are my number one priority, too.
35:55Just to prove it, I'm going to help you roast a turkey tomorrow.
36:00Against my better judgment.
36:03But just in case, there's a new pizza place and it's supposed to be great.
36:07You have no idea what it means to me to be back in your life.
36:13Just please, don't make me regret it.
36:16Willow.
36:18Fresh start.
36:21In that case, I hope you'll come to the wedding.
36:24Yes, I will be there.
36:29Wonderful.
36:30Now we have something to truly celebrate.
36:35Nina said that there may be a way to prove that Michael was not with Jacinda when Drew was shot.
36:41And if that happens, then he goes right to the top of the suspect list and nobody even looks at you.
36:47What if they can't disprove Michael's alibi?
36:49Then you have to answer a few questions.
36:52With a lawyer, of course.
36:54Great.
36:57Portia, I didn't tell you this to upset you.
36:59I just, I want you to be prepared.
37:02No, I appreciate the warning.
37:04And I appreciate you being a true friend.
37:07Unlike Nina.
37:09Because of her, I might have to account for my whereabouts that night.
37:12And that could land me in a different kind of trouble.
37:17So, why Curtis?
37:21He's an ex-cop.
37:22Former P.I.
37:23He's known how to cover his tracks.
37:24And he can't account for his whereabouts the entire evening.
37:27Well, he was at the Brown Dog Bar with Jordan.
37:29Yeah, but that was only after he was supposedly in his office alone, during the time when Drew was shot.
37:34Right.
37:35I don't know.
37:35I just, I just feel like, personally, I feel like he's had the weakest motive.
37:41No.
37:41I don't know Curtis well enough to say one way or the other, whether the business angle would be enough to push him over the edge.
37:47But I do know that the investigation of his aunt was deeply personal.
37:51That, while Drew would never admit to it, everybody knows, Drew was behind it.
37:55And then after the shooting, the investigation just kind of went away.
37:59You know, maybe there's something else going on there.
38:01Maybe, Rhett.
38:03Maybe we should take another look at Curtis, starting with his alibi.
38:08Well, that was pretty intense.
38:11It felt good to give that fool a piece of my mind.
38:16But now I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have provoked him.
38:19Well, don't worry about Drew.
38:21I'll protect my family from him.
38:23By any means necessary.
38:27Stella, Henry stays off your revenge list or I can't continue to work for you.
38:31I promised you that I wouldn't go after her and I won't.
38:36Besides, she's going to suffer enough when I destroy her beloved nephew for shooting me.
38:42You still think it was Curtis?
38:48Absolutely.
38:49Especially after the blackmail material I have against his wife magically disappeared that night from my safe.
38:56But Michael needs to be the one that goes down for this.
38:58As for Curtis, I'll find another way to make him pay.
