00:03Well, what do you think?
00:05The place looks incredible.
00:08Your brother's right, Christina.
00:10How'd you pull this off?
00:11Last time we talked about Charlie's,
00:12you said it was going to be closed for good
00:14because of structural damage.
00:16I thought it was, but then someone special
00:18stepped in and helped me fix this place up.
00:25Hey, anybody home?
00:30Dad?
00:33Hey.
00:35Oh.
00:36Hey, Mom.
00:38Dad didn't mention that you're going to be here, too.
00:42Is something wrong?
00:44Is it the baby?
00:45No, no, no.
00:46The baby's fine, sweetheart.
00:48Then what's going on?
00:49Why did you want to see me?
00:51We wanted you to come by because
00:54the three of us, we made this house a home.
00:56Together.
00:58So it only seems right
00:59that we would say goodbye to it together.
01:04Come in.
01:07Mr. Taylor, thank you for joining us.
01:09Of course.
01:10I'm happy to help in any way I can.
01:12I'm assuming this has to do with the investigation
01:14into Drew's shooting?
01:15Yeah, it does.
01:16Since Willow Kane's trial ended,
01:18we've been reviewing all the evidence.
01:19And in doing so, something pointed us in your direction.
01:26It is always such a pleasure to catch up with my granddaughter.
01:29And using one of my mother's beautiful tea sets
01:32makes it all the more special.
01:33Is that what we're doing?
01:35We're catching up?
01:36Come on, Granny.
01:37I know there's a reason you wanted to talk to me.
01:39So go ahead.
01:39Spill.
01:40Why do I bother with pleasantries?
01:42I don't know, but I appreciate the effort.
01:44Okay.
01:48Chase's crusade against Michael
01:50is causing discord in the family.
01:53And where I, in the past,
01:55would have supported you without hesitation,
01:57it's a luxury I can no longer afford.
02:02Hey, Ned.
02:03How was the walk?
02:04It was wonderful.
02:05Wonderful.
02:05And if, uh, you listen carefully,
02:08you'll hear the sound of my cardiologist
02:09cheering in the breeze.
02:11Where are Olivia and Leo?
02:13Uh, they decided to take another lap around the grounds.
02:15I felt like I'd heard enough about bark and snails.
02:19Or should I say,
02:20phloem and cornu esparsum.
02:23Well, good for you, Ned.
02:24You're prioritizing your health just like you promised.
02:27Yes, I am trying to.
02:29And since we're on the subject of priorities,
02:33why does it feel like yours lie more
02:35with your ex-wife than my daughter?
02:40Uh, congresswoman,
02:42if you would lean a little closer to your husband.
02:48Laura, hi.
02:49I didn't realize you'd be stopping by.
02:51I'm so sorry.
02:52I didn't mean to interrupt your photo shoot.
02:54No, no, you aren't.
02:55I don't know.
02:56I think my time is a little off on this one.
02:58I'll see you soon.
02:58Well, actually, Madam Mayor,
03:00I would like to get some shots of you
03:02and our new congresswoman.
03:04It would be a wonderful way to start my term.
03:07Laura, would you mind?
03:10Say goodbye to the house.
03:13Sweetheart, we're getting a divorce.
03:15The only thing left is some signatures
03:17and paperwork.
03:20And the house.
03:22Honey, we have to put it on the market.
03:25We will divide the proceeds between us, obviously.
03:30I just, I never thought about this part of your divorce.
03:34I mean, I guess it, I guess it makes sense
03:36because, you know, you guys bought this house
03:38so that we can be a family
03:39and, and we're not anymore, so.
03:42No, no.
03:42Trina, that's not true.
03:44We're always going to be a family.
03:47It's just going to look, you know,
03:48a little bit different now.
03:50That's all.
03:51Your mother's right.
03:52We'll always be here for you.
03:55And Portia and I still care about each other as well.
03:58That's right.
03:59That's exactly right.
03:59We didn't want to get to a place
04:00where we hated each other.
04:04I also asked you here, honey,
04:06to give you the opportunity
04:07to get the things you want from your room.
04:10Is there anything that you might want in there
04:12that you want to take with you?
04:16I already got the one thing that I wanted.
04:22Things between Michael and Chase have deteriorated
04:27and we just no longer look the other way.
04:31I assume you heard about their altercation in the Nook.
04:35I did.
04:37And in the Solarium, it's completely unacceptable.
04:41I agree.
04:42And the last thing I want is for you to feel like
04:44you have to choose between Michael and me.
04:46Excellent.
04:47Because Monica entrusted me
04:49with a stewardship of this family
04:50and Michael is Monica and Alan's grandson,
04:55their legacy.
04:56And asking him to vacate this home is not an option.
05:03Does that mean you're asking Chase and me to move out?
05:05No, no, no, no.
05:07No.
05:07I'm asking how long you plan to referee this fight
05:12between your husband and your family.
05:16I am not prioritizing Willow over Brooklyn.
05:19That is ridiculous.
05:20As ridiculous as you repeatedly coming to blows
05:24with Michael and our family home?
05:26This vendetta of yours is only hurting you.
05:29And it's also not helping your career,
05:32which in turn affects my daughter's well-being.
05:34This isn't a vendetta.
05:36Willow was arrested for something she didn't do.
05:38I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
05:40I had to pursue it.
05:42Now, see, that's where you're wrong.
05:43You didn't have to.
05:45You chose to.
05:48I came across a statement you gave
05:49the minor Drew shooting.
05:51Do you remember what you told us at the time
05:53about who had keys to Drew's house
05:55other than Drew and Will?
05:56Yeah, I think so.
05:59Me, Scout, her nanny, Chelsea,
06:01the cleaning lady, and Alexis.
06:03Nobody else could have had a key?
06:05Not that I know of, no.
06:07But someone else could have had one,
06:08and nobody told me.
06:09Is it possible that one of those people
06:12could have been Michael Corinthos?
06:17Thanks to Dad, the new and improved Charlies
06:19will be up and running in no time.
06:21I asked you guys here so you could see it in person,
06:23and I could tell you and see what you think.
06:25I think the place is gorgeous,
06:27and I can't wait for it to become my new hang.
06:30I'm so happy for you.
06:31Yeah, me too.
06:32Congratulations.
06:33Looks like Dad really came through for you.
06:35Just like he always does.
06:36Yeah.
06:38Thanks.
06:38I'm so grateful, Dad.
06:39No problem, sweetheart.
06:40I'm just glad it worked out.
06:42Me too.
06:44Thank you, guys.
06:45I'm so grateful you carved out the time
06:47to come see this place.
06:48I know you're so busy.
06:49No, I was glad to have the distraction.
06:51My phone's been ringing nonstop all day.
06:53Same with mine.
06:54My desk at Crimson is utter chaos.
06:57Everyone keeps asking for a comment from Nina.
06:59About what?
07:00They filled Drew's seat.
07:02Wait, the press conference happened already?
07:05Mm-hmm.
07:06But I haven't heard anything from my mom.
07:08Because it wasn't your mother.
07:11Okay, so then who filled Drew's seat?
07:15Congresswoman Willow Kane.
07:21All right.
07:22I think I got what we need.
07:23Great.
07:24Thank you very much for your time, Congresswoman.
07:26And you as well, Madam Mayor.
07:27You're welcome.
07:30I am so happy to finally have a moment alone together.
07:34I can't thank you enough for agreeing to participate in this photo shoot.
07:37My office thought pictures with Drew would help the public adjust to the transition.
07:42Yes.
07:43Yes.
07:44Actually, that's why I stopped by.
07:46I would love to help guide you through this transition.
07:49That is, of course, if you would like to have my help.
07:52Um, it's my sincerest hope that you and I will be able to work together much more successfully
08:00than Drew and I were ever able to.
08:04And with that said, forgive me.
08:08But I must ask this question.
08:11Do you plan to work on behalf of the people you represent?
08:16Or do you plan to use your position, as your husband did, to settle your own scores?
08:24You know, this is the first of many things that the three of us are going to have to navigate
08:28together.
08:30Yeah, there's just a lot to think about.
08:32Um, and I don't know where to begin.
08:36Well, okay, how long do I have before you put the house on the market?
08:44Hey, knock knock.
08:46It's just little old me back to sell one of my absolute favorite properties in town.
08:54Picking Willow to replace Drew makes absolutely no sense.
08:57My mom is a lawyer.
08:58She has way more experience.
09:00Definitely more than the woman who was on trial for trying to kill the man she's replacing.
09:05I was just as stunned as you were.
09:06Now, Will, she gave me no kind of advance notice that she was even in the running to fill that
09:10seat.
09:10Did you think she would?
09:12Dad, you're close with Laura.
09:14Did she give you any idea why she changed her mind about this?
09:18I love my husband, and I respected the way he managed the office when it was his.
09:25But the two of us are completely different people, and I plan to serve my constituents above everything else.
09:46Drew, look, I know that you and I have had our differences, but I want you to know that I
09:51wish you a full and speedy recovery.
09:55And I am praying for that, not just for you, but also for Scout.
10:02Today, the role of Ezra Boyle is being played by Patrick Scott Lewis.
10:11Councilman Boyle, come on in.
10:14I wanted to stop by and welcome you, but I see that the mayor had the same thought.
10:20Great minds really do think alike, don't they?
10:24Michael definitely wouldn't have a key to Drew's house.
10:27More about Wiley, could Michael have gotten a key through him?
10:29Wiley never had one either.
10:31Well, is there anybody else who could have given Michael a key to Drew's house?
10:36No, there isn't.
10:40All right, Guy, I think that's all we need from you. Thanks for coming in.
10:43Yeah, don't mention it. If I could be of any more help, just let me know.
10:45All right.
10:51Well, there you have it.
10:53Our final lead in determining whether or not Michael could have had access to Drew's home, and it's a dead
10:59end.
11:00Yeah, well, and with the way Michael voluntarily offered up his keys when we asked for them,
11:03it's looking more and more likely that Rick Lansing was right.
11:07Somebody planted that key on Michael's key ring.
11:09Not just anybody.
11:12Harris and Chase.
11:15Brooklyn and I have had serious discussions about my decision to pursue Willow's innocence.
11:20And because of that, our relationship has only gotten stronger.
11:23And you really think that deep down, Brooklyn is okay with what you're doing?
11:27I do.
11:28And I know that because we have always had an open line of communication.
11:32Brooklyn knows that I'm doing what I think is right, and she supports me.
11:36Because she's a good person, and she wouldn't want an innocent woman convicted either.
11:40Who would?
11:41But the trial is over.
11:42I know that, Ned.
11:43Do you?
11:44Because Willow has been acquitted, and you are still at it, which suggests to me that you are not letting
11:50this go.
11:50And I'm afraid that there's no end in sight to her feeling torn between you and the rest of her
11:56family.
11:59The talk between Michael and Chase has been really tough, but I understand where each of them are coming from.
12:04Chase is a good man, and if he believes that Willow is innocent and Michael is guilty, I have to
12:10do my best to try and support him.
12:12That is what we do for each other.
12:13His quest has gone far beyond a noble pursuit of the truth.
12:17His career has been damaged, and he is actively trying to make sure Michael is blamed for the shooting.
12:24Chase did not put that key on Michael's keyring.
12:28Do you know that for a fact, or is that what you want to believe?
12:34Oh, I love, love this place.
12:36It's even more beautiful than I remember it.
12:39But wait a minute.
12:39Doesn't time fly?
12:41It seems like just yesterday that I was selling you this house from Jack's.
12:45Doesn't it seem like that?
12:45No, it really does.
12:46Oh, well, wait a minute.
12:48If memory serves me right, upstairs is the most exquisite view.
12:54Well, come on.
12:54Let's go check it out.
12:55I want to show you the updates we've made since the last time you've seen it.
12:58Oh, wow.
13:00I would love to see what you've done with the place.
13:06I didn't think this would be happening so soon.
13:11It didn't feel great hearing her house be talked about like if it's some piece of real estate.
13:16And not a place that we called home.
13:23I understand where you're coming from.
13:25But the last thing I would ever want to do is put Brooklyn in a bad position.
13:29That's exactly what you're doing.
13:31My daughter loves you.
13:33And you may think that you're making her a priority.
13:35But you have to consider how it looks to the outside world.
13:38I don't care what the rest of the world thinks.
13:40Well, maybe you don't.
13:41But in this family, it's important.
13:44Okay?
13:44And even if it's not the case, it looks like you're choosing Willow over Brooklyn and your marriage.
13:49And if I feel that way and Mother feels that way, you have to face the fact that Brooklyn might
13:55feel that way too.
13:58Chase told me that he didn't plant that key on Michael's key ring.
14:01And I believe him because I trust him.
14:04Well, I'm glad I still have my doubts because he did defy his superiors and launch his own secret investigation.
14:12And now with the new allegations...
14:14I'm not blind, Granny.
14:15Okay?
14:16I know it's being alleged.
14:17Which is why I made it clear to Chase after his recent fight with Michael that he crossed the line
14:26with this whole key thing.
14:28In fact, I told him that I can't move forward with our adoption plans unless he agreed to drop the
14:33whole thing.
14:35And?
14:36And he promised me he would.
14:39Chase chose me and our future family over everything else.
14:43Well, if that's true, I couldn't be happier for you.
14:48Is there any part of you that thinks that maybe he could be telling you what you want to hear?
14:56I don't know why Laura changed her mind.
14:58I mean, she's the mayor.
14:59Mayors make tough decisions.
15:01So she probably has a good reason for this one.
15:04I hope so.
15:05Because she just made the wrong one.
15:06I mean, I don't agree with her opinion, but I still respect her position as the mayor.
15:11And she's a good friend of mine.
15:12She's going to make it right with your mom.
15:15I just feel so bad.
15:17My mom must be so upset right now.
15:19She was really letting herself get excited about the possibility of working with Laura and for the people of Port
15:24Charles.
15:26I guess we should just be thankful that you settled your custody situation with Willow before she got this position.
15:32Knowing her, she would have used this to go after the kids.
15:34That may be resolved, but I'm worried that Willow's going to use her newfound leverage as a congresswoman to ensure
15:40that I'm charged with Drew's attempted murder.
15:45Oh, I'm sorry.
15:46I didn't realize you're all here.
15:47I don't interrupt, so I can just come back.
15:49Actually, Kai, it's quite all right.
15:51There's something I'd like to run past Ezra out in the hallway.
15:55And I, for one, can't wait.
16:05Okay, look.
16:06If you are here with instructions for Willow from Mr. Sidwell, you need to stand down.
16:12Because it is both too soon and too transparent for her to be his mouthpiece right now.
16:19Give her a chance to find her footing.
16:22You're not doing Willow any good by trying to keep her away from Sidwell's influence.
16:29Rejecting his suggestions and running this office the way she wants it to is not going to end well for
16:35her.
16:36Look at what happened to Dalton.
16:40Don't put Willow in harm's way.
16:43And Laura, please don't put yourself in harm's way.
16:51How's Drew's recovery going?
16:53Has he made any progress?
16:55He's more or less the same.
16:57Well, it takes the time it takes, I guess.
16:59The PCPD called me in today.
17:01I just came from there.
17:03Oh, what'd they want?
17:04Was it about Drew?
17:06They wanted to know how Michael had a key to Drew's house.
17:13Well, Chase denies planting that key.
17:16I'm inclined to believe him, but I have no proof one way or the other.
17:19Well, and there's so many people going in and out of the quarter mains anyways.
17:21There's no way to definitively prove that Chase did it.
17:23Just like there's no way to prove that Michael Corinthos is the one who shot Drew Cain.
17:30We've hit our last dead end.
17:32The investigation into Drew's shooting is now officially a cold case.
17:41I am offering you guidance, not judgment.
17:44You are talking to a man who has lost sight of what's important more than once.
17:49And I have paid dearly for it.
17:51I didn't always realize a good thing when I had it.
17:54And I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I did.
17:58I never thought of Brooklyn as anything less than the most important person in my life.
18:04But if I made any of her family believe otherwise, I deeply regret it.
18:11And I'll fix it immediately.
18:15I think you are being unfair to Chase by doubting him.
18:20Brooklyn, I appreciate your optimism, but I think that you are underestimating the potency of Willow's victimhood.
18:27If Chase committed to me and our future family, that is what he'll do.
18:31He wants this just as much as I do.
18:34Once we adopt our baby, all of this will be a distant memory.
18:39I'm dropping this investigation. It's a big decision.
18:41I agree, but continuing this investigation would only be a drain on departmental resources.
18:46And to charge Michael without proper evidence, just to have someone to pin it on, would be an abuse of
18:52prosecutorial discretion.
18:53Look, I really do want to remain impartial, considering I have a conflict of interest.
18:58But, uh, yeah, it does seem like we hit a wall with this a while ago.
19:04Yeah.
19:05All right, if you guys think that, that, Shelvin, this is the right call, I'll follow your lead.
19:11Yeah, but are you okay with that? Willow's your niece.
19:13I mean, I'm sure you don't want her to live under suspicion.
19:16Well, if I'm not guilty in a court of law, that's probably about as good as Willow's gonna get.
19:22Okay. Then we're all agreed.
19:24This is no longer an act of investigation.
19:30It's never easy to admit defeat.
19:33And I believe we had the right suspect on trial, Willow Kane.
19:38And with double jeopardy attached, she'll be able to walk around as a free woman.
19:42And as our new congresswoman.
19:45I sense some serious frustration coming off of Detective West, Commissioner Falconeri, and ADA Turner.
19:51They mention combing through the evidence again, hoping something new surfaces.
19:55From what it sounds like, I think they hit a dead end.
19:58That's unfortunate.
20:00I still want the world to know who shot my husband.
20:06But I appreciate you coming by to give me the heads up.
20:09I mean, I'm assuming that's why you stopped by.
20:11Yeah, that was part of it.
20:13But I also wanted to congratulate you.
20:15I assume that you'll want a fresh start and to hire your own interns.
20:18And I'm happy to assist with your team's transition and to support whoever you choose.
20:22And I'm sure there'll be no shortage of candidates.
20:24Maybe, but I was quite impressed with the way you stepped up and managed things in Drew's office after his
20:30stroke.
20:31You did exceptional work on his press release.
20:34And Drew always sang your praises.
20:36I would really love it if you'd agree to stay on staff.
20:41What do you say?
20:44After everything Willow has done, she gets appointed a congressional seat
20:48while Michael is at the center of an investigation and being talked about all over town?
20:52In what world is that fair?
20:53It's not.
20:54And I know you're just trying to protect Michael, but we can't feed into his anger.
20:59He only gets stuck in it.
21:01We have to cool down the hostility between him and Willow and not make it worse for the children's sake.
21:08I know that you're right, but I just, I worry about him.
21:11If he's charged and found guilty, he could lose the kids.
21:14I can promise you right now that's never going to happen.
21:17He will never be prosecuted for shooting Drew.
21:20How do you know that?
21:22Because I'm going to handle it.
21:25Are you okay?
21:27You seem like you're a million miles away right now.
21:31I'm just worried about Willow and her new position.
21:35I don't blame you.
21:37Power can be a corrupting influence, especially on someone with a track record like Willow's.
21:43And from everything you've told me, Willow has always leaned on someone.
21:48If it wasn't you, it was Drew or Chase or even Nina or that cult guy.
21:56But for the first time, Willow has the ability to stand on her own two feet, which means we may
22:04see a version of her no one has before.
22:07Maybe she'll surprise us all.
22:16Hello?
22:20Yeah.
22:21Yeah.
22:21Yeah.
22:21Yeah.
22:21I'll be right there.
22:25That was the commissioner's office.
22:28Dante wants to see me.
22:30Do you expect me to believe that you suddenly have concern for Willow or for me?
22:36I mean, because I just hate to break this to you, but I'm not that easily manipulated.
22:40That's not what I'm doing at all.
22:42I don't want to see Willow on the receiving end of Sidwell's wrath.
22:47He is a fact of life that we all just need to accept.
22:52It's not a fact of life.
22:54You're just on his payroll.
22:56I am.
22:58Try it.
22:59I didn't understand the scope of Sidwell's influence until after I got involved with him.
23:04His behaviors and decisions even shocked me.
23:08And he has pressured me, just like you, into doing things that I didn't want to do.
23:13And as a result of that, I am deeper in Sidwell's pockets than I ever thought I would be.
23:25I'm really going to miss that, Doc.
23:28We had so many great times out there with your grandfather and Aunt Stella.
23:37I remember that you wanted to live in a house by the water.
23:41Yeah, I did.
23:44I fell in love with this house the second Lucy showed it to us.
23:48But your father, he wasn't so sure.
23:53But then, he bought it for me.
23:55And that was the start of our life together.
24:00It's just so sad.
24:02Imagine not coming back to this place on Thanksgiving.
24:05Or pulling into the driveway when I need a night away from PCU.
24:10And it's weird to picture this place empty.
24:12And it's weird to think about somebody else living in here.
24:17And honestly, I hate it.
24:21I know you do.
24:23Leaving a house can be hard.
24:26Because it feels like you're leaving all those moments that you built in that home.
24:31Those memories, honey, they stay with us.
24:35And they're never going to fade as long as we keep talking about them.
24:39And you know we're always going to do that.
24:42You know, when your father and I bought this place, we were talking about how big it was and how
24:46that was a good thing.
24:48Because we were dreaming of growing our family.
24:51And now we finally are.
24:54It may, you know, look a little bit different.
24:58But our dreams are still coming true.
25:05I don't know how you do it.
25:07But you made me feel better.
25:12And I know you're right.
25:14Just because the walls change doesn't mean the memories fade away.
25:19Exactly.
25:20Wow, this view is just even more beautiful than I remember.
25:24It's gorgeous.
25:25And listen, the improvements and upgrades you two have made here.
25:28Well, it has just added a lot of value to this house.
25:32Hello.
25:33Kai texted.
25:34He's coming up.
25:35I'm just going to step out.
25:36Okay.
25:39Okay, so.
25:41It's kind of exciting because I think this house is just going to be snatched up before I even get
25:45a chance to list it.
25:46Which is exciting, right?
25:48Because I get the feeling you're both very eager to put this whole process behind you.
25:52Wrap things up.
25:56What did the police want?
25:57Did they know that we were at Drew's that night?
25:59No.
25:59No, they wanted to know if Michael had a key to Drew's house.
26:02It sounded like they found one in his possession.
26:04You don't think that Willow would plant a key on Michael, do you?
26:07Well, she shot Drew.
26:09If she can do that, I don't know what would stop her from trying to frame Michael for it.
26:12Yeah, me neither.
26:14I'm just so glad that you resigned.
26:16You need to stay as far away from that woman as possible.
26:19Well, Trina, I didn't resign.
26:23Willow asked me to stay on, and I said yes.
26:28Congresswoman, I don't think I need to tell you that there is significant expectations surrounding you and your administration.
26:34Now, a well-connected donor like Jen Sidwell would be the perfect guide for you during your time in office.
26:41And speaking as someone who has served this community for several years now, I believe that I have a deeper
26:49sense of what the voters truly want.
26:51And believe me, it's not a power player with a big fat wallet telling their representatives how to represent them.
26:59I was really hoping you would have learned how to play the game by this time.
27:03Yeah, I'm just not one to fall in line, Ezra.
27:06Yeah, sorry.
27:08But you know what?
27:10I don't think Willow is that kind of person either.
27:14I promise.
27:15I will choose Brooklyn every time.
27:18Don't tell me.
27:19Tell Brooklyn.
27:20Tell me what?
27:25Well, that the two of us are going on a date tonight.
27:28Really?
27:29Where are we going?
27:31It's a surprise.
27:32Surprise?
27:34I like those, I think.
27:36I just figured that both of us could use a date night considering how crazy the last few weeks have
27:40been.
27:41I couldn't agree more.
27:45Shall we?
27:46At your service.
27:47Oh, thank you.
27:52You too, enjoy your evening.
28:00Uh-huh.
28:01And what was that all about?
28:04I gave Chase a little advice on the whole Wella situation, and I think he took it.
28:11Fat chance.
28:12I can't get over the job you've done with this place.
28:16Even your stock room's beautiful.
28:17I know, right?
28:18I just can't wait to get Charlie's up and running again.
28:21And I can't wait to claim a seat at the bar opening night.
28:25Oh, please.
28:25What are you talking about?
28:26I'll already save you a table.
28:28Okay, we should probably get going.
28:30Are you sure you're okay taking me?
28:31I told Michael not to worry.
28:33I'd call a ride share.
28:34It's fine, of course.
28:36Dad, you coming?
28:38Uh, yeah, you guys go ahead and go, because I got something I gotta do.
28:43Uh, I'll lock up when I leave.
28:45Are you sure?
28:46Yeah.
28:47Okay, love you.
28:48Love you too, sweetheart.
28:58All right.
29:01Hi.
29:03It's me.
29:04Can you meet me at Charlie's?
29:08Interesting choice, given that your daughter almost died here.
29:12But, um, I do love what you've done with the place.
29:16Looks good, right?
29:18Mm-hmm.
29:18Christina, she's had her heart set on reopening Charlie's.
29:22And you just couldn't say no.
29:24What can I say?
29:25You know, I'm always gonna back my children.
29:28Well, to that end, you'll be happy to know that the investigation into Drew's shooting is being shelved.
29:35Your son is officially off the hook, so you can drop the act.
29:41You can stop pretending to be interested in me.
29:46I'm not pretending.
29:50Okay, all the paperwork's done.
29:52I just need a couple John handcuffs.
29:54Here you go.
29:54Oh.
29:58Mm-hmm, right there.
30:00Perfect.
30:02Yay.
30:03One down and one to go.
30:06Here you go.
30:17So, do you have any questions?
30:19Just one.
30:20For Portia.
30:23You ready for that boat life?
30:26Are you kidding me?
30:28Are you serious?
30:29Let the bidding begin.
30:30Oh, my God!
30:37I'm sorry.
30:38I can't.
30:40I can't.
30:46You can't stay as Willow's intern, Kai.
30:50She's a dangerous woman.
30:51She tried to kill Drew.
30:52I know that.
30:53And that's exactly why I need to stay.
30:55What is that supposed to mean?
30:57Look, I realize Drew isn't the good person I thought he was.
31:00But no one deserves to get shot.
31:02I'm not saying he did.
31:04I'm just saying that it isn't safe to work with a woman who tried to kill him.
31:08Look, I understand the risks, Trina.
31:10But aside from Alexis, we are the only ones who know the truth.
31:13And since we can't say anything, the least I can do is try to keep an eye on Drew, and
31:17especially Willow.
31:19At what point does this end?
31:22When do you walk away?
31:25Okay, Ezra.
31:27Willow has heard from both of us now.
31:29And I think it's time for us to step back and give her the time and space she needs to
31:33get acclimated.
31:34Thank you, Laura.
31:35It's been a busy day.
31:36I think it's starting to catch up with me.
31:38Yes, I'm sure it has.
31:40We'll be in touch.
31:51So listening to anything that I say now is just out of the question.
31:56Why would I?
31:57I mean, you know that I don't like to be told what to do.
32:01And you've been awful to me, haven't you?
32:03Consistently.
32:04You think that by dissuading her from cooperating with Sidwell, you're protecting her.
32:07But you're not.
32:09You need to get her aligned now for everyone's sake, especially hers.
32:19You probably heard Kai earlier.
32:22The police have gotten nowhere with the investigation.
32:27Which means my plan to have sole custody of Wiley and Amelia isn't panning out the way I hoped.
32:36I suppose it's for the best.
32:38The longer they searched, the longer they searched, the more they'd find evidence against me.
32:47This whole thing started just because I wanted my kids back.
32:51That's it.
32:53But now circumstances have changed.
32:56For once they've actually improved.
32:59And this position
33:03is a far better use of my time.
33:08Michael, come on in.
33:11Why'd you want to see me?
33:13Something to do with the key to Drew's house.
33:16We are dropping the investigation into Drew's shooting.
33:20Wait, really?
33:23I...
33:23Dante, I don't want you doing me any favors.
33:25It's just because I'm your brother.
33:26No, no, no.
33:26It's not me.
33:27It's Turner.
33:29But for the record, I think she made the right call.
33:34Wow.
33:36Well...
33:36Oh, you know, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was relieved.
33:43Yeah, me too.
33:46But you should know
33:47that while there's no clear path to proving your guilt,
33:52there's also no path to clearing your name.
33:55So, in the court of public opinion,
33:59you will always be under suspicion.
34:04Did Brooklyn say something
34:06to make you think that
34:07Chase will keep pursuing Willow's innocence
34:10and Michael's guilt?
34:12No, she actually said that they are moving forward
34:14with their plans to adopt
34:15and that Chase is willing to give up his
34:18rogue pursuits.
34:21Well, that's great.
34:23So why all the skepticism?
34:26Willow is far more manipulative
34:28than people realize I have experienced it firsthand.
34:30She has entangled Chase
34:33to the degree that he is willing to reorder his life
34:37in order to protect hers.
34:38That leaves me very, very concerned for Brooklyn.
34:43I picked a perfect night to do this.
34:45It's so beautiful.
34:46Where'd you even find this place?
34:49The upside of being a beat cop again
34:50is I'm always walking different routes
34:52and this one points us in the general direction
34:54of a wine bar I discovered.
34:56Oh, is that where we're going?
34:58Maybe.
34:59You just have to wait and see.
35:00You are still the most romantic
35:02and incredible man I know.
35:04It's because I love you, Brooklyn.
35:07I want you to know it
35:08and never doubt it.
35:10Never.
35:11Never.
35:12Never.
35:12Never.
35:13Never.
35:17Never.
35:17Never.
35:17Never.
35:18Never.
35:22Oh, my God.
