00:00What about Carly? Would she stand up for him?
00:01Yeah, my mom would help, especially since the alternative is Ava getting full custody of Avery.
00:06Well, no one in their right mind would ever want that.
00:08Yeah, but like me, instead of working in my dad's favor, my mom's testimony could end up working against him.
00:14Because, let's face it, when they were together, there was a lot of tragedies.
00:16I mean, a lot of danger.
00:17And then right when my mom gets on the stand, Scott Baldwin, that's all fair game to him.
00:24What about Brooklyn? Or Dante?
00:25Brooklyn can only say so much.
00:27Yeah, you're right. She's a little too far removed.
00:30And then if Dante gets on the stand, the first thing Scott Baldwin will do is tell him to lift
00:33up his shirt and show the judge the scar from where his own father shot him.
00:39Dad needs someone who sees the best in him.
00:42Someone who can point to all the ways that he's a good, loving, generous father.
00:48Christina, that person is you.
00:51Out of all of dad's adult kids, he has the strongest, warmest relationship with you.
00:57Okay, yes, but it hasn't always been like that.
01:01Have you forgotten your sister, the mob princess?
01:03Okay, that was probably one of your only ventures that dad couldn't really get behind.
01:08But besides that, he's always been in your corner.
01:10I mean, he didn't even bat an eye when you came out.
01:12No, you're right. He didn't.
01:14If I had asked, he would have started a PFLAG chapter.
01:16Right.
01:17Exactly.
01:17Look, you and dad worked through all the hard stuff when you were young.
01:21So when the court asked if dad was a good father, I mean, Diane can call on you as proof.
01:25Okay, but what if during questioning, they ask if I witnessed dad beating up Dex at the wedding?
01:33He would not only lose custody of Avery, he might also lose his freedom, too.
01:38Look, Michael, I want to help dad as much as you do, believe me.
01:41But I am just as much a liability on that stand as you are.
01:45Well, then that may lead dad on his own.
