00:00I have had the most difficult morning, so I need some R&R to lift my spirit, so I thought
00:07a calming, oh, thank you, mani-pedi, and then, oh, you do still do back massages with that
00:12too, okay, maybe a chamomile mask, you know, that might help me, because I need something
00:18to relieve this horrible, terrible, awful tension, oh, thank you, hi, I don't have an appointment,
00:30but I'm hoping somebody can squeeze me in for a manicure, the main character in your book
00:45is based on me, isn't he, not entirely, Casey the stable boy, first Christina sends this
00:52to my agent without my permission, now you read it without my permission, nobody was supposed
00:55to read this, okay, look, maybe Christina shouldn't have done what she did, but that doesn't change
01:00what you wrote, and I cannot read what I read, okay, then can you at least read it in the
01:05spirit it was intended, please, oh, as a joke, yeah, sure, I'll just laugh it off and move
01:09on, Cody, hi, did you call the farrier yet about ladies, goodness, what, you're reading
01:23a book, oh, hey, I am so glad this worked out, my nails are in desperate need of some love,
01:36and I am in desperate need of some sister time, save it, I know that you submitted my book
01:41to my agent behind my back, oh, so, you really just want to know if I've heard back, well,
01:50have you?
01:50there you are, hi, hi, thanks for coming, grandma, oh, I would have come with the attention
02:04to me or not, because I miss you, oh, I've missed you too, yeah, so what's up, you said
02:09you need help with something, yeah, yeah, I need to know all about the Cassidine family,
02:16I figure I'd go directly to the source, since you're one of them, hey, babe, I am home,
02:29Pascal, bonjour, you're back, surprise, and if by babe you're referring to Marco, he's unavailable,
02:40I was just texting with him, like, two seconds ago, well, he has important business to attend
02:46to, what would you know about Marco's business, oh, perhaps Marco shares more with me than
02:53you know, okay, this, this is crazy, what is your problem with me, or is it simple and
03:05you just pre-tell us, oh, great, I was hoping I'd find you here, your lunch, oh, I wish,
03:17I'm so starving, but I didn't order anything, really, no, great salad with extra olives,
03:24I didn't order anything, Isaiah did, anything on the Anna front, spoke to Felicia, yeah,
03:35turns out it's worse than we thought, I'm going to Windermere, you can't stop me,
03:41anyway, Valentine, you cannot go, and you know why, it has to be done, you're right,
03:46it does, that's why you're not going, I am,
03:50damn, a guy can read a book every once,
04:07A guy can read a book every once in a while, right?
04:21What's the big deal?
04:22It's no big deal.
04:24I just had never seen you read a book.
04:28Because I'm dumb, right?
04:30Big dumb joke who can't string together words.
04:33What has gotten into you?
04:37Now I am surprised.
04:41Expected it to be a comic book?
04:43No, but Jane Austen?
04:45Come on.
04:46Hemingway, maybe, but not a Regency romance.
04:49Did you join a book club?
04:51Are you reading this under duress?
04:52You know, there's a lot more going on with me than people think.
04:56I'm not some bumbling idiot.
05:00Nobody thinks that, except apparently you.
05:03Yeah, they do.
05:05One person in particular.
05:08You're not even sorry.
05:11Why would I be?
05:12You said I could read your book.
05:13I did.
05:14And I couldn't put it down.
05:15It was sexy, fun, polished.
05:19That thing was ready for submission.
05:20But I wasn't.
05:21And I was never going to be.
05:22The only people I'd even told about the book were you and my dad.
05:27I hadn't even told mom yet.
05:29I just wanted to keep it mine.
05:31Well, then why did you let me read it?
05:33So that you would give me your honest opinion.
05:35Not so that you would send it to my agent.
05:37Holly, I know you.
05:40You would have tinkered with that manuscript forever, changing a period to a semicolon and
05:45back again and back again.
05:46Which would have been my right.
05:48Because, yeah, punctuation matters.
05:50Oh, come on.
05:52You would not be reacting this way if your agent passed.
05:55Admit it.
05:57She loved your book as much as I did, didn't she?
06:02Surprised to see you here.
06:03I thought you and Jen's were having a picnic.
06:08And you brought that big old basket and everything.
06:10Hmm.
06:11Well, I loved it at Windermere.
06:13Well, with my relationship with Jen's.
06:16Oh.
06:18Well, don't tell me there's trouble in paradise.
06:20It just dawned on me that I really deserve a lot more than being another mayor in Jen's
06:25stable.
06:26Something I just think you obviously couldn't possibly understand.
06:30Oh, I don't see Isaiah's name on this order.
06:37Trust me.
06:38I told him last night that this was my latest craving.
06:41Olives, huh?
06:42Is it too cliche?
06:44Too much like pickles?
06:45I couldn't get enough salt when I was pregnant either.
06:47And then I really want a watermelon, and then it just got weird.
06:51Here, enjoy.
06:53Yes, I will.
06:57That was very sweet of Isaiah.
06:59Yeah, to not only remember, but to actually place that order for you.
07:04Elizabeth, we've been having a really great time together.
07:07He's so helpful and patient, and he's easygoing.
07:13We've been taking things, you know, just one day at a time.
07:16Not a lot of pressure, huh?
07:18No.
07:18Which is very much appreciated at this moment.
07:21Yeah, I bet.
07:23The more time we spend together, the more I like him.
07:27Well, that's always a good sign.
07:29Yeah.
07:30We seem to just kind of fit together.
07:35But that can all change once I find out who the father of this baby is.
07:39Yeah, it's for a genealogy project for my history class.
07:44I tried looking up the Cassidines online.
07:46It's a little complicated.
07:48It was so confusing.
07:50Yeah, and there's a lot of misinformation on the internet, so I'm glad you came to me.
07:54Really?
07:56Well, I know that cider family isn't exactly your favorite.
08:00No.
08:01That's out of my family I would not invite to a potluck dinner.
08:04But I do know the players, so let's go ahead.
08:11Okay, yeah, yeah.
08:13You going to take notes?
08:15Uh, yeah.
08:18You kids.
08:20You kids.
08:22You just walk around with these?
08:23I'm a lawyer.
08:24Lawyers have legal paths.
08:25You can keep it.
08:26Oh, thank you.
08:28All right, so we'll start with my father.
08:31My father, my dad, was Mikos Cassidine.
08:35He had two sons, Stavros and Stefan, with Helena.
08:39They were both legitimate.
08:42Which?
08:42I wasn't.
08:44You were illegitimate?
08:47My mother and my father weren't married at the time he was married.
08:50And the way...
08:52Either way, Mikos Cassidine is your great-grandma.
08:56Uh, grandma, um...
08:59Where does...
09:01Charlotte fall into all this?
09:07I don't know all the details yet.
09:10I just know Anna's family's in contact with...
09:13With the doctor about her treatment.
09:15She recognized her?
09:17Yeah.
09:18That's a good sign?
09:19Yeah.
09:20But what's not a good sign is that Anna's insisting that she's sane
09:24and she was being held captive by Faison.
09:26Yeah.
09:26And she said that Peter August paid her a visit.
09:32So she believes they're both alive?
09:36And still a threat.
09:38So she has delusions and paranoia?
09:41I guess so.
09:43But according to Felicia,
09:46Anna believes that I'm the one
09:47who has to stop Faison.
09:49You're going.
09:54What's your point of entry?
09:57This top secret, little-known opening
10:00caught the front door.
10:01Why would Sidwell let you in?
10:04Why wouldn't he?
10:05Because he knows you hate his guts.
10:07He's already extended an invitation.
10:10Sidwell wants me to make peace with Lucas for Marco's sake.
10:13That could work.
10:15And if it does,
10:16it's because Sidwell is underestimating you.
10:18Let's hope he keeps doing that.
10:19It will work.
10:20But there is one reason not to do it.
10:22Really?
10:23Only one reason?
10:24Jocelyn is using my brother for her own agenda.
10:27You hate that?
10:28I hate it.
10:30And now I'm about to do the same thing.
10:33Jess.
10:35Of you.
10:36Doesn't take a psych degree
10:37to figure out how you feel about Marco.
10:39Whenever I'm affectionate with my boyfriend,
10:42you pop out of the woodwork to interrupt us.
10:44It's called doing my job on the butler.
10:47Yeah, no, no.
10:49I don't think so.
10:50And I hadn't realized how bad
10:53it had gotten until you went away.
10:55It was like I could finally breathe again.
10:57So can you just acknowledge the elephant in the room?
11:01You want what I have
11:02and resent me for having it.
11:04For Americans and their vanity.
11:08You are so consumed with your poetry romance
11:12that you are blind to what's really going on here.
11:16Pascal!
11:23Are you worried how Isaiah will react
11:25if the baby's not his?
11:27Or if it is his?
11:29Mm-mm.
11:31We haven't known each other very long.
11:33But I know that I can trust Isaiah.
11:36He's not afraid to follow my lead.
11:39And he trusts me too.
11:40The person I'm worried about most
11:43in this whole situation is Trina.
11:46It will be extremely difficult for her
11:48if Isaiah is the father.
11:51And I'm not saying that she will love the baby any less.
11:53No, of course not.
11:53That's not who she is.
11:55It's just going to be an adjustment.
11:56It's going to be a big adjustment.
11:59And she's already struggling
12:00with her parents splitting up.
12:02But if the baby is Curtis's?
12:05That will make things easier for Trina.
12:08But not for you.
12:08We had our reasons for not divorcing at one time.
12:13But the only thing that's holding up the divorce now
12:15is the question of paternity.
12:18If Curtis is the father,
12:19there are going to be issues.
12:21Custody, parental rights.
12:24It's going to be a nightmare.
12:26In order to get to Charlotte's branch
12:28of the family tree,
12:29you have to go back to Mikos' father.
12:34Nikolai Ivanovich.
12:36Okay, so Nikolai had three sons.
12:38Mikos, Anthony, and Victor.
12:41Yeah, I got that far,
12:43but wasn't Mikos Valentin's dad?
12:49No.
12:50No.
12:51And herein lies the difficulty
12:53in the construction of the Casadine family tree
12:56in that we have a propensity to lie.
13:00It's in our genes.
13:00Valentin thought that Nikos was his father,
13:06but he wasn't.
13:08Victor was.
13:10So the only ancestor that you and Charlotte share
13:14is Nikolai.
13:15my great-great-grandfather.
13:19And Charlotte's great-grandfather.
13:22And he was...
13:24He was born in St. Petersburg in 1852.
13:29Ah, yes.
13:30Over a hundred years ago.
13:33I hope your teacher appreciates all of this.
13:36Yeah, yeah.
13:36No, I'll definitely be getting an A on this one.
13:40Thanks, Grandma.
13:41You bet, kiddo.
13:42Anytime.
13:44I've never been more disappointed in Jocelyn.
13:46She knew moving in with Marco
13:48would put Lucas in danger,
13:49yet she encouraged him to do it anyway.
13:51Under orders from the WSB,
13:52she better have been.
13:54Even still,
13:56Jocelyn's using her uncle,
13:57and now it makes me sick to think
13:58I'm about to do the same thing.
14:01So don't go.
14:03What are you talking about?
14:04You just said one of us has to go.
14:06I said it had to be done.
14:06I didn't say it had to be done poorly.
14:09You're hesitant.
14:10That's going to get you hurt at Windermere.
14:12I'm going.
14:14Okay.
14:14You sure?
14:17Yes, it's dangerous at Windermere.
14:20But the goal is to get Jocelyn out of the WSB,
14:23and if I can get Lucas off the island
14:24and get Jocelyn out of the WSB,
14:27I have no choice but to go.
14:33Is there a problem here?
14:34Just a simple misunderstanding.
14:37I was trying to explain to Lucas
14:39that you were occupied,
14:41and he did not take it well.
14:43Thank you, Pascal.
14:44We'd appreciate some privacy,
14:45if you don't mind.
14:45Of course.
14:51That guy is a liar
14:53and a total loose cannon.
14:54You have no idea what he's really like.
14:56Perhaps you should have stayed in France.
15:06Is it possible?
15:08Could Faison be alive?
15:10Felicia thinks that Anna is suffering from PTSD.
15:14What do you think?
15:15I don't believe that Faison is still alive,
15:19but I was the one who talked to Anna
15:20before she even showed up in France.
15:23And she was saying then
15:24that she was afraid that Faison could be alive,
15:26but I thought I got her to consider
15:27that maybe somebody was using Faison against her.
15:29Could Anna have these symptoms that long ago?
15:32I mean, it could have been
15:35how she was really
15:39she was really worried
15:42that she wasn't being rational.
15:44I mean, what if she was on the edge
15:45and I missed it?
15:47I could have helped,
15:48and it never would have even gotten to this point.
15:50You can't blame yourself.
15:53Come on, Sonny.
15:54I know the signs.
15:55You know the signs when it comes to me.
15:57You and Carly always knew
15:58when I was going through a manic episode.
16:02But with Anna,
16:03you didn't know what to look for.
16:04How could you?
16:05I just, I feel like I could have done more.
16:10And I chose not to.
16:15My agent was positive
16:18about the book's chances.
16:21Positive.
16:22The phrase multi-book deal
16:25may have been uttered.
16:27Molly!
16:28She's already got an editor on the hook.
16:32Amazing!
16:33No, no, it's not.
16:35Okay, I am sorry I rushed your timeline.
16:38Okay, but that's the thing.
16:39There was no timeline.
16:41I wrote this book as a way to decompress,
16:44as a creative outlet for me.
16:47Some people do needlepoint.
16:49I wrote a novel.
16:51Bull.
16:52You wrote that book to sell.
16:55You just needed a push
16:56to get it out into the world.
16:58You're welcome, by the way.
16:59Yes, Christina.
17:00Thank you so much
17:01for tanking my relationship with Cody.
17:06Molly wrote a romance novel,
17:08and she clearly based
17:09one of her main characters on me.
17:11How flattering.
17:13Casey.
17:14Stable hand.
17:15He's rude.
17:16He's untrustworthy.
17:17He's dumb.
17:18Okay, maybe not.
17:20Did you talk to Molly about him?
17:23Yeah, she said that
17:23she never intended anyone
17:25to read the book,
17:26especially not me.
17:28She just makes it worse.
17:30How?
17:30Well, because now I know
17:31exactly what she thinks of me.
17:33And how does Jane Austen
17:35fit into this?
17:36Well, Molly and I got into it,
17:37and she said that Casey,
17:40a stable hand,
17:40is exactly like Mr. Darcy,
17:42which is totally confusing,
17:44because Darcy's just this
17:45rich, arrogant guy.
17:46Okay, that's definitely not me.
17:49How much of Molly's book
17:50have you read?
17:53Two chapters.
17:54How much of Pride and Prejudice
17:56have you read?
17:57Not that much.
17:59Okay, so let me suggest
18:01that you find a really
18:02comfortable spot,
18:03and you hunker down,
18:05because you've got
18:05a lot of reading to do.
18:08You know, Jens does think
18:10that he can divide his attention
18:12between women,
18:13and maybe he can't.
18:14You know, good for him.
18:15But he needs them
18:17to accept such treatment.
18:19Perhaps for financial incentive?
18:23Jens is my client.
18:25Mmm, a fantastically generous one.
18:29I have to give you props.
18:32Come on.
18:33Most women would hate
18:34being bought and sold.
18:37Okay.
18:38Real estate commission.
18:40Remind me, how much did you make
18:41off the sale of Windermere again?
18:43Mmm.
18:44I was worth every penny,
18:45and then some.
18:45You, on the other hand,
18:47you really are taking Jens for a ride.
18:50Come on.
18:51All that artwork.
18:52You're talking a minute to buy.
18:55What about it?
18:57Mmm.
18:57I don't know.
18:58Let me think.
18:58What's the word?
18:59Let me describe it.
19:00Oh, yeah.
19:02Hideous.
19:03You know, it wouldn't be fair
19:07to expect you
19:08to appreciate
19:09such sophisticated pieces.
19:12Just face it, Lucy.
19:13Jens wanted an upgrade,
19:15and he got it.
19:19I overheard your altercation
19:22with Lucas.
19:23With Harley Carlton altercation.
19:25However you describe it.
19:26If you can't keep it together
19:28without arousing suspicion,
19:30I will have to ask you to go.
19:33Your son's boyfriend
19:35has it in for me.
19:37And why are we trusting him anyway?
19:39He's too close.
19:41One misstep,
19:42and Lucas could discover
19:43something he shouldn't.
19:45Do we really need
19:46another person running around here?
19:49We have been over this.
19:52And it annoys me
19:53to go over it again.
19:55But if Lucas
19:58is important to Marco,
20:00then...
20:01Then Lucas is important to you.
20:03Then...
20:04Then Lucas is important to you.
20:07So are we clear?
20:09We are.
20:12Good.
20:13Very good.
20:15Now tell me,
20:16how did it go in France?
20:18Yeah.
20:19Back to our quark.
20:20Anna believes
20:21she has made
20:22her great escape.
20:25When Anna first
20:27resurfaced,
20:28insisting that she
20:29had escaped Faison,
20:30Dante was going to go to France,
20:31but I told him I would go.
20:33But you didn't go?
20:33No, I didn't go
20:34because Britt needed me
20:35and I promised
20:35that I would stay here and help.
20:36You stood by your word.
20:38Abandoning Anna
20:39in the process.
20:40You can't save everybody, Jason.
20:43You just got Britt
20:44to trust you again.
20:47You figured out
20:47it was Cullum
20:48who started the fire
20:49that burned Michael.
20:50You had a choice
20:52and you took it.
20:53What if it was
20:54the wrong one?
20:56There's no guarantee
20:57if you went to France
20:58that you were going
20:59to be able to help Anna.
21:01And right now
21:02she has her family,
21:03right?
21:05So she's getting
21:06the help she needs.
21:06I know,
21:07but I just
21:07cannot shake
21:09this feeling
21:10that something
21:11isn't right.
21:13Anna sent Felicia
21:14to me for a reason,
21:15even if the message
21:16didn't make any sense.
21:18I would never
21:18tell you
21:19to ignore
21:20your instincts.
21:22But in this situation,
21:23it could just be
21:24something simple
21:25like she's very sick
21:27and she needs
21:29medical care.
21:33Yeah, maybe.
21:41It's Alexis.
21:44Something's up with Danny.
21:45See if you can
21:48orchestrate a trip
21:49to the wine cellar.
21:50The entrance
21:51to the catacombs
21:51from the living room
21:52has been sealed off,
21:53but there used to be
21:53one from the wine cellar.
21:54We need to know
21:55if that's still open.
21:56Okay, I'll give it a shot.
21:58I could say
21:58that I'm looking
21:59to expand
22:00the Metro Court's
22:01wine list.
22:02That's good, Bishop.
22:03Or I could say
22:03I just got lost
22:04going to the bathroom.
22:05I mean, I wonder if they...
22:06This isn't a game.
22:09Do not give these people
22:10reason to be suspicious.
22:11I was just kidding.
22:13I...
22:13If you get caught,
22:14it'll be a bad day
22:15for Lucas.
22:17And it'll be
22:17a worse day for you.
22:20More importantly,
22:21it'll be a bad day
22:21for me.
22:22So just play it straight.
22:24Play it smart.
22:26I will.
22:27If you can get
22:28into the wine cellar,
22:29that's excellent.
22:30But the next best thing
22:31is for you
22:31to get out safely
22:32with an invitation
22:34to come back.
22:36The only way
22:37you can do that
22:38is to when
22:38my brother's dressed.
22:39No upgrade needed
22:46for me and Jens.
22:48What we had was
22:49ours
22:50and real.
22:53Real convenient,
22:54maybe.
22:55You're a real estate agent.
22:58He used you
22:59to get a good deal
23:00on Windermere
23:01and quickly found you
23:03and all your
23:04loosiness
23:06quite tedious.
23:08Right.
23:10And he actually
23:11told you that.
23:12Didn't have to.
23:14Well, it's very obvious
23:15to everyone.
23:18Everyone but you,
23:20I suppose.
23:22You poor thing.
23:24You'd worn out
23:25your welcome
23:25and you didn't
23:26even notice.
23:29Tammy,
23:30I am so sorry.
23:32I'm going to have
23:32to reschedule,
23:33okay?
23:34No, no, that's okay.
23:35I'll get my own shoes.
23:36I really thought
23:37this would be a very
23:37relaxing, stress-free
23:38experience.
23:39It's not.
23:40So, I'll call you.
23:43Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:44Please keep in mind,
23:46you know,
23:47just remember that
23:47Jen's love of all things
23:49really only extends
23:51to Greek sculptures,
23:52not his vendors.
23:57Cody found a hard copy
23:59of my manuscript
24:00and he was furious.
24:02He immediately realized
24:03he's the inspiration
24:04for Casey.
24:05Okay, but Casey
24:07is a great character.
24:08Cody should be flattered,
24:10especially with those
24:11love scenes.
24:12Congratulations, by the way.
24:13You two have a lot of fun.
24:15Thank God
24:16he did not read that far.
24:18Well, when he does,
24:20he can take notes.
24:21No, Cody's not going
24:22to read the rest
24:23of my book.
24:24He'll probably never read
24:25another word that I write,
24:27not after the way
24:28I depicted him.
24:28Sorry, I just,
24:33I had to do that.
24:35Yeah, it's a little weird,
24:37but I'm not complaining.
24:39So, do you want to tell me
24:41what was going on
24:42with you and Pascal?
24:43Oh, well,
24:43he was being outwardly hostile,
24:45so I asked him
24:46what his problem was.
24:47That he loved that.
24:49That he definitely didn't love
24:51was me suggesting
24:52that he had feelings
24:53for you.
24:54Oof.
24:55Maybe I went too far.
24:56I don't know.
24:58Pascal had it coming.
25:00Yeah?
25:02With the way
25:02he's been treating you?
25:03Absolutely.
25:04Well, thank you
25:05for having my back.
25:06Of course.
25:07That's what couples do, right?
25:10I'll talk to my dad,
25:12and I'll explain to him
25:13that Pascal's problem.
25:15I may not be able
25:16to get rid of him entirely.
25:17He's very loyal to my father,
25:19but maybe he can move
25:20to another property.
25:21No, no.
25:22Don't do that.
25:23I don't want to trash
25:24the guy's life.
25:24Not yet, at least.
25:27But I want you
25:27to be comfortable,
25:29especially in your own home.
25:31It means the world to me
25:32that you're willing
25:32to live here.
25:34I am comfortable.
25:36Really.
25:38And happy.
25:40You promise?
25:43Because I can't imagine
25:44living on my own again.
25:46Marco,
25:47I'm not going anywhere.
25:49from the second Curtis
25:56found out that I was pregnant.
25:58His expectations
25:59were like a weight
26:00around my neck.
26:02And trust me,
26:02I want to be fair.
26:03He deserves to know the truth
26:04after missing out
26:05on Trina's childhood.
26:07This is a second chance
26:09for him at fatherhood.
26:10It's the babysits.
26:12But I'm not ready, Elizabeth.
26:14I need more time.
26:15You know what I mean?
26:17To face whatever
26:18this new reality
26:19might look like.
26:21The new reality
26:22of Curtis and Jordan
26:22playing house
26:23with my child.
26:24I don't know how I'm supposed
26:27to get myself ready
26:28for that one.
26:29You know,
26:29I've kind of been
26:30where you are.
26:31When I had doubt
26:32about who Jake's father was,
26:33it was really hard
26:35on everyone.
26:36Yeah.
26:37It seems like
26:38it's impossible.
26:39But I get both sides.
26:41I totally understand
26:42why you want to put off
26:43knowing.
26:45But you also seem
26:47pretty sweet
26:47not knowing, too.
26:50It's the last thing
26:50you need for the baby.
26:54Thank you for coming here.
26:57I actually looked out
26:58because I need to speak
26:59to you, too.
27:00In my trouble?
27:01Not with me.
27:03But first,
27:04how close are
27:05Charlotte and Danny?
27:08Well, I mean,
27:09you know,
27:09they're friends.
27:10Rocco and Charlotte
27:11got really after
27:12Rocco was arrested.
27:13Why?
27:14Because Danny
27:15asked me to decipher
27:17the Cassidyne family tree
27:20for...
27:20Well, that's not an easy task.
27:22What do you want that for?
27:23This school project?
27:25Allegedly.
27:27And you think
27:28he's not telling the truth?
27:30Well, you know,
27:30I got into the whole
27:31who begot whom
27:33and the saga
27:34of the Cassidyne family life
27:36lies in ruin.
27:38And the only thing
27:38that Danny seemed
27:39to be interested in
27:40is if he was related
27:42to Charlotte.
27:45Oh.
27:46So, you know,
27:49I was thinking maybe
27:49you want to have
27:50a little talk with him.
27:51You know,
27:52maybe a son
27:53he wants to get
27:53off his chest.
27:55That he doesn't want
27:56to talk to grandma about,
27:57but he can talk
27:59to his father.
28:05When Molly refers
28:06to Mr. Darcy,
28:08she doesn't mean
28:09that you're like him.
28:11Then what does she mean?
28:12that
28:14her hero,
28:18Casey,
28:18is functioning
28:19like Mr. Darcy
28:20for the sake
28:21of the novel.
28:22Look,
28:22in the beginning,
28:23the leading lady
28:25finds Casey
28:26deeply
28:28unlikable.
28:30Right?
28:31Very.
28:32Okay.
28:32Deeply,
28:32deeply unlikable.
28:33And then over time
28:35she falls in love
28:37with him.
28:38It's a tale
28:39as old as time.
28:40Look at Beauty
28:40and the Beast.
28:41So now,
28:42now I'm a repellent beast?
28:45No.
28:46Casey becomes
28:47irresistible
28:49to the leading lady.
28:51But not before
28:52they have their
28:53misunderstandings
28:54and their arguments
28:55which just serves
28:56to ramp up
28:57the sexual tension.
28:58We're not talking
28:59about ramping
29:00our tension.
29:01Okay.
29:03I'm just saying
29:04you should be flattered.
29:06Molly has been
29:07working on that novel
29:08for months.
29:09She has been thinking
29:09about you for months
29:11and she fashioned
29:12her hero
29:13after you.
29:15Okay.
29:16Now I get
29:17what you're saying.
29:19Hallelujah.
29:20What happens though
29:22if you're right
29:23Casey
29:25isn't what he seems.
29:26But with me
29:27what you see
29:28is what you get.
29:29So what happens
29:30when Molly realizes
29:30that she's right
29:31and I'm just a heel.
29:34The book is fiction.
29:36Cody will get over it.
29:38I don't think so.
29:40He's taking it
29:41really personally
29:42and I hate
29:43that I've hurt
29:43his feelings.
29:45You don't actually
29:46feel bad,
29:46do you?
29:48He was not
29:48supposed to read it.
29:50And you were
29:51never supposed
29:51to send it.
29:52But here we are.
29:56Honestly,
29:56the more I think
29:57about it,
29:57the more I realize
29:59why he got the wrong
30:00idea.
30:01Because if I had
30:03ever intended
30:04to publish that book,
30:05I would have made
30:06so many changes
30:07to make it less obvious
30:08that the character
30:08was based on him.
30:11You never had a chance
30:13to make those revisions.
30:14Thanks to you.
30:15I just want you to know
30:22that what you
30:23and Rick
30:23put together
30:24for Michael's kids
30:25is the best.
30:28Is Carly in agreement?
30:29She's not
30:30in agreement
30:31like I am,
30:32but Amelia
30:33and Wiley
30:34need their mother.
30:37There's no perfect solution.
30:38I just want
30:39an arrangement
30:40that everyone
30:40can live with.
30:41Yeah,
30:42me too.
30:43And,
30:44you know,
30:44those kids
30:45won't be used
30:45as a bargaining chip
30:47like Scout.
30:48How's she doing?
30:49Good.
30:51I mean,
30:51she's worried
30:52about her father.
30:53And I am
30:54going to have
30:54to take her
30:55to visit him.
30:57She's relaxing.
30:58I think she's
30:59she's settling
31:00settling in.
31:01It's good.
31:02So she's
31:03having a great time
31:04with the Davis girls,
31:05huh?
31:06It's the best.
31:07Yeah,
31:07I'm glad to hear it.
31:09Next step
31:10will be
31:11to get Willow
31:12to allow Scout
31:13and Danny
31:13to see each other again.
31:15You might want
31:15to hold off
31:16on that.
31:19Colum had
31:19Anna sedated
31:20and shipped to France
31:22where I was waiting
31:23with a car
31:24from which she could
31:24make her escape.
31:26And she bought it?
31:28Very much so.
31:29She had an altercation
31:31with the gendarme,
31:32was arrested
31:33and admitted
31:34to a mental institution.
31:37Oh.
31:38Do we still have
31:39access to her?
31:40I'm not certain,
31:41but I can try.
31:43Don't.
31:44It all went
31:44as common
31:45I intended.
31:46Let's let Anna cook
31:48until we meet her.
31:52Oh.
31:53I think you've done
31:54enough for today.
31:55Why don't you
31:56go to your quarters?
31:57I'll handle this.
31:58Okay, you may have
32:15some heelish qualities,
32:17but there's
32:18so much more
32:19you're capable of.
32:21Thanks, I think.
32:22For instance,
32:25would a true heel
32:26go to the trouble
32:27of reading Jane Austen
32:29just to understand
32:30his girlfriend's
32:31intentions
32:31instead of
32:33watching an adaptation?
32:34There's a movie?
32:40Yes, there's several.
32:41Would you like
32:42to return the book?
32:43No.
32:44I think I'll hold
32:45on to it for a little bit.
32:46I got a bad feeling
32:47about this Wickham guy.
32:51Molly knows
32:52that there is
32:52so much more
32:53to you
32:53than meets the eye.
32:54Why else would she
32:55spend all that time
32:56in the Stables?
32:57Boredom.
32:59You don't believe that.
33:00Cody, what happens
33:05to Molly's characters
33:06is up to Molly.
33:09But what happens
33:09in real life
33:10is up to you.
33:13You can still make changes
33:15to the Casey character.
33:16It's your book.
33:17You can make it
33:18whatever you want it to be.
33:19My agent doesn't want me
33:21to change a thing.
33:22She thinks Casey
33:23is a major selling point
33:24and that readers
33:25will fall in love with him.
33:28Well, I agree.
33:29Cody should be thanking you
33:31for making him
33:32look so good.
33:33Yeah, gratitude
33:34was not the vibe
33:36I got from him.
33:37Trust me.
33:39Just give him a chance
33:40to finish the book.
33:42He's gonna get it.
33:44And when he sees
33:46it on the shelves,
33:48he's gonna be
33:48so proud of you
33:49just like I am.
33:52Molly, you are gonna
33:53sell the book, right?
33:58I'm absolutely fine.
33:59if I stay focused
34:00on work
34:00and stay focused
34:02on Isaiah.
34:03But once my mind
34:04starts to drip
34:05and you start to picture
34:07one awful scenario
34:08after another,
34:10yeah, fun stuff, right?
34:12Yeah.
34:13But maybe you
34:14wouldn't feel so helpless
34:15if you had
34:16a little more information.
34:20Portia,
34:20I know you're nervous,
34:22but the stress
34:23of not knowing
34:24who the father is
34:24isn't going away.
34:25If anything,
34:26it's just gonna get worse.
34:29I, I, I know.
34:30Yeah, so maybe now
34:31is the perfect time
34:31to just take that leap
34:33before you get
34:35any further along
34:35in your pregnancy.
34:37And then you can start
34:38to focus on all the good stuff
34:41like nesting
34:42and getting ready
34:44for this new
34:45incredible chapter.
34:48I'd rather be doing that
34:49than spending time
34:49with,
34:50with my divorce lawyer.
34:52It's up to you.
34:53As hard as it will be,
34:55it's better
34:56to take the test now.
34:58I need to know the truth
34:59so that I can finally
35:01move forward.
35:02Hey, Dad.
35:17Hey, you're home early.
35:18Yeah, I was just
35:19with Alexis.
35:20Actually, she said
35:21she was helping you
35:21with the school project.
35:23Uh, yeah.
35:24Yeah, I was,
35:25I was making a family tree
35:28and the casted iron side
35:29was all over the place.
35:30Oh, well,
35:31I'm pretty, uh,
35:32spotty when it comes
35:34to the quarter main
35:34family tree,
35:35but I'm sure Tracy
35:37can fill in all those
35:38blanks for you.
35:38That's, that's okay.
35:39I can figure that out myself.
35:41Yeah?
35:41Yeah.
35:42All right, well,
35:42if you need help
35:43with anything,
35:44anything that you,
35:45uh, feel like you want to,
35:46you know, talk about,
35:49I just hope you know
35:50that I'm, I'm here.
35:50You can ask anytime.
35:54You know, there's
35:55no project,
35:57don't you?
35:59Alexis had her
36:00suspicious.
36:05Yeah, I would just,
36:06I wanted to know more
36:08about the cast iron family.
36:11Okay.
36:12Well, I appreciate
36:13you telling me the truth,
36:14but I'm just curious
36:16why you thought
36:17you had to lie
36:17in the first place.
36:18Are you really
36:19that interested
36:19in your family's history?
36:23Not, not just mine.
36:26Charlotte's tell.
36:34If Scout needs stability
36:36and routine,
36:37Danny may not be
36:38the person
36:39to get it from.
36:40Especially, you know,
36:41he's focused on Charlotte.
36:43You know how
36:43teenage boys are.
36:45Well, I have daughters,
36:46so yeah,
36:47I kind of know
36:47how teenage boys are.
36:48Charlotte is a good match
36:51for Danny
36:51and the thrill-seeking
36:52partner.
36:54Great!
36:55Which is why
36:56I wanted Jason
36:57to talk to him,
36:58because God only knows
36:59what kind of trouble
