00:00Wake up.
00:06You okay?
00:10You tell me.
00:13You just collapsed.
00:17I was supposed to be on duty.
00:18Can I call you back when I go on break?
00:21Yeah, sure.
00:23But when you do, take a look at your schedule and see what it looks like.
00:27I've had such a great time at Valentine's Day.
00:30I'd just like to try it again.
00:33Well, I'll let you know.
00:35Great.
00:37Bye.
00:39Bye.
00:44Hi, I'm Nurse Baldwin.
00:46I'll be taking care of my date.
00:51Oh, what happened?
00:54Uh, what are we, uh, discussing here?
00:57It's covered by HIPAA, right?
00:59Yeah.
01:00Why?
01:01I got in a little trouble with my dad's dog.
01:12Hello, my darling.
01:13I need you to do some digging.
01:17I need to get Sid Wells' hooks out of deception, and I need leverage.
01:23I'm gonna have to stop you right there, Tracy.
01:27I don't think Maxie wants me anywhere near deception.
01:31Or her.
01:36Well?
01:37What do you think?
01:38You wanna warm up before your coach gets here?
01:40Get a few swings in?
01:41Yeah, but Mom and Uncle Dante told me you were the star power hitter for the PCPD.
01:46Can you show me how to hit like you?
01:57It's open.
02:03Wow, I didn't know you played guitar.
02:05You are?
02:06I don't.
02:07I torture it.
02:16Hey.
02:18Finally got two minutes to grab yourself some lunch.
02:20No, it's just coffee.
02:22I'm meeting somebody here to discuss a plea deal.
02:25What about you?
02:29I'm meeting my lawyer.
03:01I'm meeting my lawyer.
03:02I'm really okay.
03:03This isn't necessary.
03:05Oh, you're doing this for me.
03:07You fainted right in front of me, and you're white as a sheet.
03:11Are you sick?
03:12Should we go to the hospital?
03:13No, no, no, no.
03:14I'm fine.
03:14I don't want you to worry about me.
03:17I'm not sick, sick.
03:21I have a chronic condition.
03:25I have endometriosis.
03:31Well, I'm not sure what that is, but I would feel a lot better if we got you to the
03:37hospital.
03:38So the people who do could check you out.
03:40I just need a minute to catch my breath.
03:43Okay.
03:45You just sit here and breathe.
03:48I'm going to get you some water.
03:55I didn't know Sonny had a dog.
03:57Oh, yeah.
03:57Well, it's a new one.
03:58His name is Fizz.
03:59He's a rescue.
04:01Fizz.
04:01Yeah.
04:02I'm sure Avery and Donna love that.
04:04Oh, no, they do.
04:05They all do, which is why I'm kind of hoping we can keep this under wraps.
04:08I don't want Fizz getting a criminal record.
04:10We got a lot of those in the Corinthos family as it is.
04:13Well, you are the police commissioner.
04:15If you can keep quiet, so can I.
04:18But is Fizz safer in kids?
04:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:21No, no, no.
04:21Totally.
04:22He's a little love bug.
04:23Okay.
04:24And how did this love bug end up biting you?
04:27Well, it was actually my fault because I took him on a walk and I got distracted and
04:31I didn't realize that he was running up on a dog three times his size.
04:34Hmm.
04:35You had to separate them?
04:36I did.
04:37I did.
04:37He's a feisty little dude.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Well, scrappy ones you have to look out for.
04:42Yeah.
04:42Don't I know it?
04:44So what had you so distracted that you missed Fizz trash talking a much bigger dog?
04:52Oh, I'm sorry.
04:54That's totally none of my business.
04:56No, no, no, no.
04:56Actually, it's great.
04:57It's great because I thought I was the only one who didn't know.
05:01Know what?
05:03That Lulu and Nathan are seeing each other.
05:11Why wouldn't Maxie want you involved?
05:13This is all hands on deck.
05:14This is DEFCON 5 or 1, whichever is the most urgent.
05:19Urgent or no, this isn't about business.
05:22It's personal.
05:26Nathan and I are involved.
05:29Nathan, who is technically Maxie's husband?
05:33Yes.
05:33And before you lay into me about how disloyal I am, I'm not going to do that at all.
05:41Well, I'd be happy to show you how to swing for the fences, but we're not here to work on
05:45my swing.
05:46We're here to work on your swing.
05:47So why don't you show me what you got and we'll go from there.
05:49Okay.
06:02Hey, it's looking pretty solid.
06:04Why don't we set you up for a few practice pitches?
06:07Dad, what's wrong?
06:09Don't you still like baseball?
06:11Yeah.
06:11Yeah.
06:12I still like baseball.
06:13I love baseball.
06:14I like playing it.
06:15I like watching it.
06:16I like eating 99 burgers and buckets of chicken at the park.
06:20I guess I just got a lot on my mind today.
06:25Like you and mom and how you guys aren't going to be married anymore?
06:31So I spoke with the union officials in Rochester.
06:34They are on board to go forward with the updates that you want at the docks.
06:38That's great to hear because, you know, it's good that you got everybody at home.
06:41That's it.
06:42Are you firing Diane?
06:50I signed up for basics of guitar as one of my electives this semester.
06:54Why didn't you tell me?
06:56I wanted it to be a surprise.
06:58I know how important music's been to you and I thought, hey, maybe I can learn a few chords
07:02or a song or two.
07:04And then I missed a few classes because I was away in California and in France and now I'm
07:09completely behind.
07:10Let's just drop the class.
07:11Start over fresh.
07:12The deadline passed.
07:14Dude, I'm just going to have to accept the fact that I'm going to fail.
07:17Fail?
07:18No.
07:19That's not going to happen.
07:20No.
07:22We're going to figure this out.
07:26Wow.
07:26Lulu and Nathan?
07:28No wonder you were distracted.
07:31Yeah.
07:33You know, my reaction to their news is what kind of surprised me.
07:38Like Lulu and I, we're good, you know?
07:41And we co-parent well, amicable exes.
07:46But this still felt like a bit of a gut punch, you know?
07:50Yeah.
07:51I absolutely do know.
07:53But even if things are well, it's still tough when your ex moves on.
07:59Yeah.
08:00And we both did move on.
08:02I mean, I was engaged to Sam.
08:05I still miss her every day.
08:07Of course.
08:09You know, that sort of grief just doesn't go away.
08:12It's more like your life shapes around it.
08:17Right.
08:18But I guess knowing all that, why do I still feel so blindsided?
08:26Oh, but you don't have to worry about me.
08:29Look, your mom and I will always love each other.
08:34And more importantly, we'll always love you.
08:38It's still got to be hard, kind of confusing for you.
08:42Yeah.
08:43I mean, when your mom and I were married, you weren't even born yet.
08:47And a lot's happened since then, huh?
08:49The family's growing a lot.
08:51Yeah.
08:51With Billy Lou and Spinelli.
08:54You like Spinelli, don't you?
08:57Yeah.
08:58A lot.
08:59I've known him my whole life.
09:01And he loves us.
09:02And I love him.
09:04I'm glad.
09:05I don't know Spinelli all that well just yet, but he seems pretty lovable.
09:09He is.
09:10And he's pretty funny.
09:12Not always on purpose.
09:14Well, there you go.
09:16That's the most important thing, right?
09:18Your mom and I want what's best for your family.
09:22And we think what's best is that she stays with Spinelli.
09:27Okay with that?
09:29Yeah, but what about you?
09:32Don't you want a girlfriend or something?
09:34Like, go together with Molly?
09:35I know a lot of moms from school.
09:38I'll bet you do.
09:40You don't have to worry about me, but thank you for looking out for me.
09:45I just don't want you to be all alone.
09:51Hey, what's going on, little man?
09:53Go sky.
09:56Boom.
10:01Last time I checked, Maxie was hopelessly devoted to Damien Spinelli.
10:06But she is.
10:07They have built this beautiful life together.
10:10She loves him.
10:11Then she gets to count her blessings.
10:14Nathan's not a toy.
10:15She doesn't get to collect them all.
10:17Okay, it is not that simple.
10:21It never is.
10:23Look, I understand that you love Maxie and you feel guilty because of that, but you're not a terrible person.
10:32Isn't the guilt I'm feeling a sign that I am doing something wrong?
10:36No.
10:38It's a reminder that life and love are complicated.
10:44But is this relationship with Nathan worth me losing my best friend?
10:52How are you feeling?
10:54Much better.
10:57Okay, good, because I'm taking you to the hospital.
10:59No, Cody, I'm fine.
11:00I told you.
11:01I just, this is normal.
11:03Molly.
11:04Fainting like that's not normal.
11:06Or fine.
11:07You scared the hell out of me.
11:09Sorry.
11:10Don't be sorry.
11:11Just be rational.
11:12I want to make sure you're okay.
11:13So please, let me take you to the hospital so you can get checked out.
11:19Okay.
11:26Why are you so worried about Diane?
11:29Because she is my business partner and my friend.
11:31And more importantly, because she has performed legal miracles for you for the last two decades.
11:37And now you're going to let this guy represent you?
11:40And she has done nothing but provide you with faithful service.
11:45Are you done?
11:46No.
11:47And this is not about casting aspersions on her.
11:50I haven't done yet.
11:51Shut it.
11:52This is about loyalty.
11:53And this guy is not loyal.
11:55He has betrayed you more than once, Diane.
11:57Never.
11:58She has done nothing but give you sound advice and exceptional legal representation.
12:02And now you're just casting her out just like that, just like that.
12:04Why?
12:05Why now?
12:13Why now?
12:13This really isn't necessary.
12:15I'm okay.
12:16I promise.
12:17Alright.
12:17Well that's great.
12:18That's what the doctor will tell you then.
12:22Um.
12:25This, uh...
12:28Endometri...
12:29Endometriosis
12:32endometriosis how long have you been dealing with it for a while and the symptoms what are they is
12:40like fainting a standard one no um that's my fault i knew i was having an off day and i
12:47pushed myself harder than i should have but it really isn't something you need to worry about
12:54look molly you telling me not to worry just makes me worry more so right now i'm really starting to
13:01get
13:01worried please save it and yourself you know here i thought being around my talented boyfriend would
13:11rub off on me but clearly i was wrong let me look at the hang of it at some point
13:19hang on not only are you a brilliant violinist but you also play guitar
13:25i dabble you see i learned to play as a kid mostly for fun the violin is my first love
13:32but
13:34sometimes i play the guitar to relax yeah nothing and i mean nothing i was doing to that poor
13:40instrument was relaxing to it or to me yeah it will be maybe if you teach me i could try
13:49hey ow
13:52okay first lesson try to have some fun all right listen to music not a battle for supremacy
14:05well that was beautiful it's all right let's see your chord progressions
14:17let's do it
14:18i appreciate you meet up with us yeah no problem i volunteered to coach as part of the pediatric sports
14:30initiative and so i was happy to hear that james is up for some pre-season practice dad did you
14:35know
14:35that coach kai is a superstar quarterback for pcu but he also plays baseball isn't that cool it's very
14:43cool and my my football days are over because of an injury but i had to move on i love
14:49working with
14:50these guys well good for you moving on can be a good thing my dad's going to teach me how
14:57to hit just
14:58like him because he's a power hitter oh yeah yeah i don't know if how i hit is uh is
15:03going to translate
15:04to little league uh you're the coach uh why don't uh why don't you give james some winners sure
15:13i do not claim to be the authority on friendship but i have had a few significant ones most notably
15:19monica and most recently stella and gregory chase's father anyway what i learned from those very diverse
15:31friendships is that true friends appreciate me most when i am the honest and open version of myself
15:44okay
15:44okay
15:47well what if my most honest and open version of myself
15:55causes maxi pain i get
16:00why me being with nathan now would hurt her okay give him up walk away
16:08and does that mean they reunite and live happily ever after
16:12i don't know i do i know that if you deny your own happiness in favor of maxi
16:21everybody loses
16:24of course you were blindsided nathan's your best friend yeah it's not like lulu met some random guy at work
16:32it's got to make things a little awkward did either of them tell you they were seeing each other
16:40uh oh no no actually uh maxi did
16:47yeah and then and then they showed up and confirmed it what did you say
16:55well i mean what can i say
17:01they don't owe me anything
17:04well that's why i told them that was fine not to worry about it
17:10they're both good people right i mean i love them both
17:13okay well you're saying all the right things is that how you really feel
17:18i don't know i mean maybe i'm just telling myself what i should be feeling but
17:22that's why i went on this walk so i could try and sort it all out am i sad am
17:28i angry jealous
17:32or am i worried i might have missed on my last chance to be with lulu
17:38alexis relax uh i'm not firing diane don't tell me to relax i hate when you tell me to relax
17:43why did you call rick your lawyer because i'm making a few changes diane representing me
17:48it's become complicated now that you two are partners what do i have to do with it i'm not
17:53questioning your standards or your ethics everybody knows you're a great lawyer that's not a great
17:59thing yes it's great but there needs to be some distance between you and my uh ventures that's all
18:10oh i get it so he's going to represent you and all of your illegal activities i'm sorry alleged
18:17a legal activity diane is going to handle uh certain areas of my legal affairs and and rick
18:26is going to deal with as needed my criminal defense it's a terrible what it's a terrible terrible idea
18:37because he can't be trusted and even if he doesn't double cross me you're going to think that he will
18:41one mistake he makes you're going to think he's sabotage well don't sugarcoat it alexis tell me how
18:45you really feel i am asking you and you for the sake of my daughter i'm sorry for the sake
18:53of our
18:54daughters who are getting along really well right now i don't want them to have to pick a side when
19:00you two inevitably devolve into a civil war i don't see that happening i don't either
19:08rocko was a test case right and that worked out you two came up with a compromise for willow michael
19:19and
19:19the kids he's he's a great lawyer and i know he's going to represent me the best he can and
19:27if he
19:27doesn't i'll get diane to handle it
19:38sorry i was late alexis i got held up in court mr lansing afternoon hello mr grunthos 88
19:47turner our table is is over there i'll deal with the two of you later
20:01in the ada we're very cool and professional just now i mean that is for two people who have been
20:06straddling the ethical code of conduct like i said you know what uh what you said to me i think
20:14you're
20:14right there are certain things you don't mess with so uh i'm going to keep my distance from uh
20:24ada turn
20:33and something that alexis said that i didn't really consider is if it doesn't work out between us it's
20:40not going to be good for our daughters so if you want to back out of representing me now's the
20:49time
20:50to say so my period has been particularly heavy and i woke up this morning with really awful cramps
20:59is the pain reliever i prescribed not working i forgot to refill that prescription
21:06things have just been really busy at work and i haven't made it to the pharmacy
21:11but i did take an ibuprofen
21:14okay i understand that you're busy but you have to prioritize your health i know i do i just
21:20i want to stop living my life i already lost so much because of this condition
21:31cody hey what are you doing here i thought you would be at the batting cages with james
21:37oh no did something happen to him did he get hit with a ball no no james james is fine
21:42nathan
21:42took him to the cages
21:46uh felicia could i ask you a medical question
21:50uh sure but you know i'm a patient advocate not a doctor so if you're waiting to see a doctor
21:55then
21:55you should see the doctor no uh no it's nothing like that uh can you tell me what you know
22:03about
22:06endometriosis all right leg shoulder-width apart there you go bend those knees put that weight on that
22:11back foot now hold that back so it's right by your back shoulder perfect you ready to go remember keep
22:18ground that ball you're good at this thank you so in addition to coaching kids and going to school
22:29you're also a congressional intern that's right wherever where you're spreading yourself a little
22:34thin the honest question not a not a judgment i think i got it covered you know besides the internship
22:40is something i'm doing because i have to but i'm doing this because i love it shows
22:52four balls in a row and machines long meatballs i was way better last season what are you talking
22:58about we just learned some new things and for one i bet you have grown a lot since last season
23:03you know
23:04cuz right you're probably bigger and stronger than you were before exactly so you got to make some new
23:08adjustments you'll practice hitting at the size you are now and it will become muscle memory and the more
23:13you practice the better you'll be i just want to hit with you can you please show me how please
23:19please
23:20uh it's been a walk-up
23:26all right
23:51let's say you make the ultimate sacrifice and you steer clear of nathan
23:57does that help your friendship or do you feel resentful is maxi satisfied or
24:05is she suspicious of every move you make because if that's your idea of friendship i pass
24:13it sounds like you're just asking me to be selfish i'm asking you to go after what you
24:20want and make no apologies maxi has moved on that didn't change when nathan came back and i guess
24:28she agrees with me because she chose to stay with spinelli
24:37lulu told me months ago that she still loved me and i obviously wasn't in a position to do anything
24:44about it then because i was still greeting sam but time has passed and hopefully your grief is less
24:51crippling you're starting to think that maybe you're ready
24:56i don't know i mean now that lulu's moved on what does that say about me that i'm interested in
25:03her again now that she's no longer an option well maybe it just means like their timing's off
25:09yeah maybe we're just out of sync i think we've been out of sync for a while maybe that's the
25:15lesson
25:15here you leave the past in the past it's easier said than done past has a way of sneaking up
25:25on you
25:26especially when it comes to love
25:39yeah you can hang up i have a really good teacher
25:45you are not some man-stealing adulteress going after your best friend's husband and if you insist
25:51on painting yourself in that light you'll get no help from me
25:55and here i thought i was past receiving relationship advice especially from my step monster consider it a
26:03gift from your father it's funny you say that
26:10listening to you it was um
26:15a lot like hearing from him
26:19although compared to him you were downright diplomatic
26:23diplomacy is highly overrated your father would have cut to the chase and told you to be happy
26:31however it looks and whatever it takes
26:37i know you know what you're talking about
26:42you and lucky tried again it didn't work for whatever reason i'm
26:46i'm sorry don't be lucky i have a lot of history and a lot of love and
26:54at the time it just made sense that we would try to find that magic again see if we fit
27:01it didn't well in some ways we didn't but i think we both realized that
27:07trying to recapture our amazing past didn't mean that we were going to have a future
27:12not a fulfilling one anyway but just because that happened with me and lucky doesn't mean it's the
27:19same for you no little yeah i don't know maybe maybe that uh that ship has sailed oh well dante
27:29if there's any part of you that feels like you want to try again now's the time before things go
27:36any further with nathan and you really do miss your chance
27:42i can't go back to my client with this justine you're gonna have to give me something better
27:51my experience with the cult last fall gave me a chance to kind of look at all the choices i
28:00made and
28:02you know how i would do things differently you were enlightened more like uh there's a shift in
28:09perspective my least my main priority i just want to give her consistency you know in a way that i
28:16wasn't able to do that when she was a kid i hear that and then of course there's elizabeth i
28:24can't tell
28:24you how much i regret them anyways i screwed that up well you know elizabeth's very forgiving i think if
28:31you
28:31go about it the right way that she'll see that and there's you and my brothers and i i made
28:43it
28:45impossible for us to have a relationship for years i just
28:53i want us to be better i want to do better okay alexis is wrong
29:01i'm not going to double cross you sonny and i understand if you don't quite trust me right now
29:06and if you want to just continue forward this way i'm happy to and you know case by case basis
29:12until
29:13you feel sure of me okay six months at spring ridge and three years probation that's fair i will
29:23advise my client to accept the offer i gotta tell you i thought this was going to be a lot
29:28more contentious
29:31but i mean it's something if you want diane to be your primary attorney that's fine i will do whatever
29:36you want just call me when you need me if it ever got out that we spent the night together
29:43it would
29:44destroy us both everyone makes mistakes your client shouldn't have to lose everything over his
29:54it's a chronic condition that affects one in ten women basically tissue or cells similar to the
30:02uterus lining grow outside of the uterus and it can be very painful
30:09okay it can also lead to scarring and painful cysts that grow on organs it can also lead to cramping
30:19and heavy bleeding during periods you said it's it's chronic it means there's there's no cure
30:27unfortunately no but there are ways to treat it those are options that a patient should discuss
30:35with their doctor but like most chronic conditions it affects everyone differently
30:44okay um well thanks felicia i really appreciate you telling me that it's better than trying to
30:52decipher from the internet yeah i would have scared myself to death probably convinced myself that i had
30:59it too well i'm happy to help you i better get back to work uh felicia one more thing um
31:07what what can i do
31:09to help someone who has it that's sweet be supportive and patient and if they need you be there okay
31:26i had the results of your scans and tests there appears to be additional scarring on the
31:32backside of your uterus and the largest endometrium has increased in size it may be time to revisit some
31:40of the options we've previously discussed i know you were averse to surgery before um can we schedule a
31:46follow-up molly but i i know i won't put this off okay i promise i'm taking this seriously i
31:53just
31:54my boyfriend's waiting outside and i want to go home i promise to schedule an appointment with your
32:01office and we can talk about all this in depth okay i just want to remind you it's it's not
32:08a weakness
32:08to take care of yourself it doesn't serve you to push yourself too hard i know that i can
32:16put too much pressure on myself sometimes but today was a good day i just i was doing something i
32:25wanted to be doing i just didn't want this condition to ruin that but it did
32:35dad was always true to himself grabbed life by the horns and he never apologized
32:43which is great but what happens when people get hurt they always get hurt and i have learned from
32:50experience that you can't please everyone i understand that you are reluctant to hurt maxi
32:57but you've already told her the truth so all that remains is for you to decide whether you want
33:01to live your life for yourself or for what other people think there's plenty of people that think i am
33:09wrong
33:10you only get one life live it for yourself not other people's opinion
33:19so i shouldn't care if you approve either oh you should always care about my opinion but that's sort
33:27of a general rule for everyone if you're being true to yourself i approve
33:45so it's just been a while i'm a little rusty but you should definitely listen to coach kai he will
33:49help you improve your swing it's okay dad your muscles will remember it just takes some time
33:55i'm going back in you might just want to wind your stance a bit you know took up a little
33:59higher on the
34:00back thanks yeah i'll keep that in mind it's funny i feel like i'd jump back into most things where
34:08i
34:08i left off but who would have thought that baseball would be the thing i lost
34:15excuse me sir
34:19oh hey hey yourself uh what are you doing uh failing at baseball
34:27what it's a long story uh what's up are you busy tonight if it's with you
34:38what do you think you're gonna do i'm gonna keep my mouth shut yeah lulu deserves to be happy and
34:45who
34:46am i to get in the way of that when i don't even know where my own head's at all
34:49right well if that's
34:50what you feel like you really need to do then i support that thank you um back to your hand
34:58uh the
34:58antibiotic ointment i put on there should prevent infection but you need to watch it if it starts to get
35:04red swollen hot the pain persists you need to come back and see me immediately got it looking forward
35:11to it uh and and you're sure you're cool not uh bringing fizz's name into this yeah but if the
35:19suspect is a repeat offender i might have to rat him out that's understandable otherwise this never
35:25happened hey um i'm way out of line saying this but i'm gonna say it anyway uh only because you
35:34brought up how sometimes you can't go back to the past yeah well i know you and rick have been
35:41spending time together just just be careful all right as soon as i talk to my client we'll be in
35:55touch yeah to tell you i thought you were going to take this to trial well it certainly wasn't because
36:02i was afraid to lose your client is guilty but i do recognize that there were extenuating circumstances
36:11i like to win but i'm not going to prosecute someone solely for the victory and like you
36:17i want to see justice served and i do what i can to make sure the system works
36:25sometimes it actually does and other times not so much alexis can
36:34think what she wants you want this relationship to work as brothers you want me to tell you why
36:43i don't know do i
36:46because you put me third behind molly and elizabeth so that tells me that you're not just telling me
