00:02Lily, oh, when you texted about getting together, it made my whole day.
00:06Come in, come in, come in.
00:08Are you sure it's only about a time?
00:10I'm positive.
00:11I've cleared my calendar.
00:12Mrs. Martinez, in your honor, has made a lovely pitcher of lemonade,
00:15the house we have to ourselves.
00:16We can talk all afternoon if you want to.
00:20I'd love nothing more than that, but this isn't really a happy catch-up.
00:25What's wrong?
00:28I mean, everything.
00:30You know, I just...
00:33I feel like my whole world is imploding.
00:37I just need a friend to tell me that it's gonna be okay.
00:42Nothing like holding someone's life in your hands.
00:46No pressure there, huh?
00:47I know what I'm asking of you is a lot.
00:49Is it?
00:50I mean, you are, after all, my biological father.
00:53Not that I even knew that, or you, an hour ago.
00:57And that's my fault. I'm sorry.
01:00I don't even know what it means to donate bone marrow. What do I have to do?
01:03First, you'd have to do a cheek swab to test your HLA profile.
01:08Then, there's a blood test to verify.
01:11After that, if the HLA matches, we do a full health screening.
01:17Okay, if I...
01:18And if I pass all of that and I'm a match, then what?
01:21The transplant is surgical.
01:22Be put under anesthesia.
01:28Holden, you don't have to make a full decision right now.
01:31If you could just agree to find out if you're a viable option.
02:11Malcolm's right.
02:12Before any major decisions can be made, we have to first determine if you're a match.
02:18I guess I could do that much.
02:20I appreciate it.
02:21And I am sorry that you're being blindsided like this.
02:24Guys, for now, if we could table the emotional end of this,
02:27and let's deal with the more urgent issues at hand.
02:30That's probably a good idea since I don't even know where I'm at emotionally at the moment.
02:34Well, you're not alone in that.
02:36I'll go check on you getting tested at a local clinic.
02:39I'll be right back.
02:48I'm sorry for being such a mess.
02:50I just...
02:51Oh, my gosh.
02:52I have no walls to call.
02:53Don't apologize.
02:53We're friends.
02:55Unloading is what we do.
02:57I know.
02:57I just...
02:58I wouldn't normally bother you with something like this.
03:01But...
03:02Devon is just really, really angry at me.
03:05I guess I'm not surprised that he's a little angry, but...
03:09I would think he would be happy you're back.
03:11You were away for so long.
03:14Yeah, it's just that he had that whole nightmare with Dominic, and...
03:17You know...
03:18I added to it, and...
03:21I didn't mean to hurt him.
03:23No.
03:23No.
03:24Of course you didn't.
03:25And Devon knows that.
03:26Just give him a little time.
03:28He'll come around.
03:29I hope so.
03:32Because I just feel like I can't talk to him right now.
03:34And I also promised that I wouldn't tell him what I found out.
03:38Wait.
03:38Who did you promise that you wouldn't tell something to Devon?
03:41It wasn't Cain, was it?
03:43No.
03:43No, no, no.
03:43That's...
03:44That's a whole other issue.
03:46No.
03:47Um...
03:48My Uncle Malcolm...
03:50Confided in me in something this morning.
03:53And...
03:53He doesn't want me to tell anyone about it.
03:56But I feel like I have to talk to someone.
03:59And I know that you'll be the person that will keep it between us.
04:02Okay, sweetie.
04:03Lily.
04:04You can tell me as little or as much as you need to.
04:07I promise I will not tell a soul.
04:11How is Malcolm?
04:17He's not good.
04:19I'm so sorry to hear that.
04:22Do you know he's my biological father?
04:25Yes.
04:27So he came to me to see if I could be a donor for his bone marrow donation.
04:33What?
04:35This does sound serious.
04:36It is serious.
04:37It is.
04:39And...
04:39What's worse is that I can't help him.
04:42I can't.
04:43Which just makes me feel so awful on so many different levels.
04:48And if he doesn't find another donor soon...
04:53Like, I don't know what I'll do, Tracy.
04:55Oh, honey.
04:56Honey.
04:57Oh, my gosh.
04:58Honey.
04:58Oh.
05:04Could you wait after me?
05:18All right.
05:21I am sorry...
05:22eder.
05:25brother and sister it is well i grew up an only child always wishing that i had brothers
05:34and you know i i had a friend who was like a brother and it was it was great
05:43until i lost him i'm sorry yeah me too
05:50i can honestly say i never imagined having a sister let alone wanting one
05:56the fact that it's lily winners of all people won't you have a seat
06:06you said you know her i hope the two of you are at least on good terms
06:11yeah we we had some rocky patches when we first met but it's it's definitely less tense it was never
06:19it was never that bad i'm happy to hear that and not that we're like best buds or anything
06:25but uh we can be civil with each other it's historic yeah
06:33how are you doing with all this
06:37honestly this all feels surreal it's not like it's not like i'm sad that jerry is in my bio dad
06:46you know i have no memory of the man since he died when i was a baby but that's my
06:51mom the fact
06:54that she sat on this for all those years she never said a word
07:01that part really blows my life you know you got every right to be angry i don't know if i'm
07:07angry
07:07or or disappointed or what i feel it's like it's like i'm outside of my body just watching all this
07:17unfold and i honestly just feel numb i'm pretty sure i'll suck myself unfortunately i don't really
07:25have the time to process it but it's not that i don't want to hold it
07:38okay okay this does sound serious so tell me how sick is malcolm
07:45i mean if you ask him he's acting like everything is fine he's being really upbeat and positive
07:51you know but the truth is that he has this serious blood disorder and i just found out this morning
07:58oh honey no wonder you're upset and i was just so happy when he called to say that he wanted
08:05to see me
08:06you know i felt like something was finally going right and he looked so good too like i would have
08:13never guessed that anything was wrong okay what does he have lily it's called aplastic anemia
08:24and i guess it's curable if it's addressed early which is why he wanted to see me okay so he
08:30has
08:30asked you to get tested to find out if you're a viable donor yeah and we both had really high
08:36hopes
08:37you know and it also almost felt like my dad had a hand in it because i've always
08:46i've always felt so guilty that i couldn't save his life lily you have been a wonderful daughter to neil
08:56he was so proud of you he loved you so much i know but i couldn't save him when it
09:02mattered
09:03now i now i can't save malcolm oh sweetie
09:09why do you think you're not a match it doesn't matter if i am or not because i can't be
09:15a donor
09:15because of my past cancer treatment oh my god honey that must have been so painful to hear that
09:23i just feel like i've failed him no this is not your fault
09:31i know but i just wanted to be able to help you know sweetie you will help just not as
09:40a donor
09:41you're going to find so many ways to be there for malcolm i know but i just feel like what
09:46anything
09:46else i do it's not going to be enough now you have to stop talking like that okay tell me
09:53what's next
09:55i don't even want to think about it because if i can't give him what he needs no lily listen
10:03to me
10:04you can't give up hope there is every reason to believe that there is a donor out there that can
10:08help malcolm i know but that could take months or years for him to find one and by then it
10:14could be
10:14too late stop stop sweetie stop jumping to the worst case scenario isn't good for anyone
10:20i know that i'm not trying to i'm just scared tracy because if i lose malcolm after i lost my
10:30dad like i
10:31don't know what i'm gonna do oh honey honey honey
10:42i can't imagine what you must be going through on top of dealing with a life-threatening disease
10:48finding out that you have a son that you never even knew about kind of feels like drinking through
10:54a fire hose going full blast yeah
11:00look uh i don't know how this is gonna play out between us and it's too soon to think about
11:06what
11:06a relationship might look like going forward or if you even want one but
11:12i hope you do uh right now i'm just just trying to get to this moment sitting across from a
11:21stranger
11:22who i i just found out is my dad it is a lot of process it kind of feels like
11:29my karma learning
11:29things too late as far as your medical condition goes it won't be too late i told you before this
11:37disease is very treatable if addressed early on and that's what we're doing
11:43the clinic can take you as early as this afternoon wow not soon huh yeah i just texted you the
11:50address
11:51that information got it okay well um i guess i'll head over holden call me when you're done i want
12:09to see how things go
12:14yeah
12:21if holding is a match we can start looking at how soon we can schedule your surgery i can't believe
12:26you did
12:26this how could you keep myself from me
12:39i'm sorry i don't mean to unload all of this on you oh honey don't you dare apologize
12:45you are obviously sitting on so much and you've got to get it out that's the only way you're going
12:50to be able to move past it i know i just feel like i lost my mom you know i
13:00lost the best dad that anyone
13:02could ever ask for and malcolm is all that i have left sweetie i know this is all so painful
13:13for you but
13:14you're talking like there's no hope and i just won't let you do that there is always a reason to
13:21hope no matter how bad the situation is and i refuse to believe anything but this a positive outcome
13:28for malcolm and for you you just have to believe it will be thank you
13:39i needed to hear that you know what sweetie i did too
13:47i guess i need to just text malcolm tell him to meet me so that i could tell him the
13:54news
13:57oh he texted me he wants to see me
14:03okay okay do me a favor when you see him tell him right away that you can't be a donor
14:09that will
14:09give him plenty of time to make other arrangements okay
14:16how am i gonna tell him
14:26yeah i know i i just left but i i wanted to reconfirm you'll call me with the results right
14:35whether or not i'm a match
14:40okay
14:43thanks i'll be waiting
14:59you're always my go-to
15:04i read something important in my life you were the first person i'd call
15:10and you've been lying to me my whole life
15:16how dare you
15:21who are you talking to
15:24are you spying on me
15:27like i have nothing better to do
15:28well since you do
15:31don't let me keep you
15:33oh funny
15:35uh where's your mom did she leave town already
15:41she's still here
15:43well why aren't you with her
15:47did something happen
15:54i get why you're angry
15:56stephanie answered the question
15:58i wish i could
16:00truth is i can't totally justify why i kept the truth from you
16:05you and i had already parted ways when i found out i was pregnant so
16:09i didn't see the point
16:11why not it's not like we ended on bad terms
16:14true
16:15so why not call
16:16i guess i didn't want to disrupt your life
16:19you and i weren't together that long it's not like either one of us saw each other as some
16:23everlasting love you make it sound like it was just a flint
16:26i don't mean to
16:30i can still remember how excited olivia and drew were setting us up
16:36they thought we were perfect for each other
16:41so drew's been talking me up again huh
16:43better believe it good old drew doing her little matchmaking thing
16:48you know if it's bugging you i can talk to her
16:50no no no no
16:51why not
16:53i told her i wouldn't mention it to you
16:57well i'm kind of glad you did because you know something i don't think is such a bad idea
17:02what is it you and me hooking up
17:05oh hey come on now go don't start bugging i'm just talking about a little date
17:09just a date
17:12so what's up is that a yes
17:14it's probably the only way i'll get your two pr people off my back
17:18two drew and olivia
17:22olivia has been on your back too
17:24i don't know what you're paying these women
17:25but you sure are getting your money's worth they're your two biggest fans
17:30we didn't hit it off at first did we no we did not
17:35but then we had some fun dinner dancing watching you do your thing at the photo studio
17:43didn't we even work out together you wanted to show off your six-pack
17:48i think i remember you looking pretty good in those spandex leggings
17:54then our careers took off we were both so driven to be successful that our relationship
18:02didn't last the spark that we once had it just fizzled out and then you left town care and our
18:08child i know it seems awful but at the time i thought it was for the best stephanie it wasn't
18:16only your decision to make i know it wasn't but i want you to be honest with me think back
18:23to that
18:24time in your life when your career was taking off the freedom you had would you have really been
18:29ready to welcome a child into your world or would you have thought of it as an obstacle something
18:35that you resented that kept you from going after your dreams
18:42i guess we'll never know
18:55lily telling malcolm you can't be a donor will not be easy but you have to do it and believe
19:03that
19:03everything is happening the way it's supposed to i know i just i don't know how i can do that
19:10when i
19:10feel like i'm letting him down oh honey how are you letting him down you can't be a donor because
19:17you took cancer treatment even if you could have predicted this if you would opted out of that
19:23there's a chance you wouldn't even be here today and nobody would want that especially not malcolm
19:31i never thought of it that way
19:35i'm completely convinced that once you explain to him why you can't be a donor he will understand
19:40and he certainly isn't going to blame you besides
19:45even though your cancer treatment has disqualified you there was never a guarantee that you were going
19:50to be a match
19:54you're amazing oh stop
19:59no i'm serious you really helped me see the silver lining in all this thank you
20:07just promise me you're not going to dance around the truth when you see him tell him that will give
20:15him plenty of time to explore other options okay i will i love you thank you for always being there
20:25for
20:25me oh honey always is right
20:36malcolm maybe you're right maybe i shouldn't have kept it from you or from holden but i did and i
20:41can't
20:41change that bottom line i'm only telling you now because i wanted to save your life so what are you
20:47saying if not for my condition you may never have told me you're holding the truth probably not so much
20:53time had passed what was the point he's my son stephanie and he will be as long as he lives
20:59i've
20:59already missed out on all the years of him growing up malcolm please know i never meant to hurt you
21:07well you know what this isn't the time or place to rehash all of this i got way too much
21:10on my mind to
21:11be brought down by decisions made in the past i agree i gotta go see lily and give her the
21:17news about
21:17her donor status gonna tell her about holden i think i should so she doesn't feel like she's my
21:23only option how do you think she'll take the news that she has a brother this ain't the first time
21:30lily's
21:31that a bomb like this dropped on her nothing happened audrey are you sure you didn't tell your
21:45mom how we really know each other did you why would i do that well you told claire what's to
21:51stop you
21:52from blaming your mom look i don't need this right now well so something did happen let me guess she's
22:00disappointed in you for staying on with kane she's not the one that should be disappointed with
22:04anyone believe me what does that mean nothing look i'm not really up for conversation right now okay
22:14seriously holden i can see you're upset are you sure you don't want to talk about it do you smell
22:21blood in the water audra is that what this is excuse me do you really think i would tell you
22:26if something
22:26was wrong knowing that you would just turn it around and use it against me later i was just
22:32trying to be nice well i don't need you're nice and i'm not up for the usual back and forth
22:37here okay
22:38this is private and personal and i i don't really want to share it with you well in case you
22:43forgot we
22:44already share a pretty big secret and if you can't trust me who can you trust
22:51would you just go already look as much as you're trying to hide it i can see that you're hurting
22:57given everything we've already been through together i like to believe when all is said
23:02and done we're still friends friends you want to be a friend then leave me alone
23:12fine i'll leave you to your private pity party
23:21was that request to be left alone for everyone or just adra
23:38i guess it was meant for everyone i'm sorry to bother you claire wait
23:46i uh i actually i could use somebody to talk to although i am a little surprised i thought you
23:56didn't want anything to do with me i knew we said i didn't want to be friends
24:01and you look like you could use one right now
24:05what's that obvious very well i'm gonna bear my soul i'd like it to be with someone who
24:16who actually has one
24:29it's like she knew you were talking about her i'm just grateful she don't pull up a seat
24:35should we oh yes please
24:42i know you pride yourself on keeping a cool exterior but all i had to do was look at you
24:46to
24:47know that something's seriously wrong
24:54you you always got me in a way that not too many other people did
25:09so i'm not gonna pretend like i have good news unfortunately i can't be a donor because of your
25:15cancer treatment how do you know that my doctor informed me when i let her know that you were
25:20looking into getting tested but how does she know about my cancer treatment told you before lily
25:27stephanie's an old friend from genoa city and she's kept in touch with a few people from back in
25:31the day including your aunt olivia okay well i'm really sorry that you didn't hear it from me
25:39no you got nothing to be sorry about it was a shot in the dark anyway no i know i
25:44just
25:45i feel like i've let you down no no there's no way you could ever do that
25:52okay well i know that your doctor is an old friend but
25:55is she gonna be able to find another donor i mean do you feel like you can trust her judgment
26:04i can tell you're dealing with something big so if you don't want to talk about it we can just
26:10sit here
26:16a person who i i trusted probably more than anyone
26:24keep something pretty major from me i know that feeling i'm not talking about kyle i mean my aunt when
26:32she lied to me about the newmans and then when you find out the truth makes you question everything
26:39you were ever told exactly i i never really knew my father i was a baby when he died unexpectedly
26:51the
26:52only thing i have to remember him by is a photo of him holding me when i was when i
26:58was first born
27:01is that secret someone kept from you about him
27:07what do you think is that secret someone kept from you about you about you about you about you
27:08about you about you about you about you about you about you about you about you about you about
27:09my mom my mom came to visit me today and dropped some it's pretty shocking news
27:20it turns out the guy in the photo the one who died when i was a baby his name his
27:27name was jerry novak
27:30he wasn't my actual biological father the guy who is my bio dad is he's still alive
27:42in fact i just met him no way
27:49that's pretty big there's more
27:54turns out that guy he has a daughter which means i have a sister and you'll never guess who it
28:03is
28:04do you know her do i know her
28:09it's lily winters
28:16what are the odds right
28:25i thought lily's dad is neil winters well apparently there's a story there too but my mom
28:30didn't want to get into it i guess she felt like i was dealing with enough already finding out that
28:36the guy who i thought was my dad wasn't and that this guy uh malcolm is his name he's not
28:45only my bio
28:46dad but he's lily's too
28:50so this malcolm guy what's he like he seemed like a decent guy and he just found out about me
28:58today too
28:59so his head was spinning just as fast as mine
29:03when i finally got to know my dad
29:06he exceeded my wildest dreams for a father
29:09i hope that happens for you too
29:15well
29:16i'm not sure malcolm and i will ever be close
29:19you know it's it's a little late in the game to do the whole father-son thing
29:26why did your mom tell you now after all this time
29:32i he has a blood disease and he needs a bowed marrow donor
29:40lily's not a match apparently not but my mom and malcolm are hoping i am
29:47i actually just got my test run not too long ago to see if i'm a match and uh
29:55i should get the results pretty soon this is crazy it's not over yet
30:04lily look thing is stephanie isn't just my doctor her and i went out years ago here in genoa city
30:14oh i mean i didn't know that i never heard you talk about her well it wasn't all that serious
30:18i mean we had our fun together but in the end we were both so focused on our careers
30:24relationship didn't really stand a chance yeah ambition can do that
30:30stephanie's specialty is hematology so she was naturally the first person i thought to go
30:36okay so is that why she came here to tell you that i couldn't be a donor that was one
30:41reason
30:43the other was to offer a solution because she knew i was still in need of a miracle
30:48wait she knows another way to potentially save your life she does but get ready
30:56when i tell you what it is it's going to blow your mind
31:01so if you are a match i assume you're going to help the guy
31:06my mom said that it means saving a man's life
31:11it's hard to say no to that well you should at least figure out what the risks are
31:18right because i'll be taking risks for somebody who i don't even know who who also happens to be
31:26my father yeah it's pretty mixed up i can see why you're all over the place um
31:34thank you for listening i know i'm i'm rambling and no you just got a major shock it changes everything
31:45like your whole life as you know it of course you're trying to make sense of it all i mean
31:51there
31:51is there's a part of me that gets why my mom didn't tell malcolm the truth they were they were
31:55so young
31:56they were just starting their careers and they weren't even together when she realized they were
32:00pregnant it couldn't have been easy for her i'm sure it wasn't but the part that gets me is
32:10why she kept me in the dark for all those years i i thought we were so close
32:22now i can't help wondering what else she hasn't told me
32:27when stephanie left town she was pregnant i had no idea she had a son my son
32:42wait what for a whole lot of reasons i still don't understand she decided to keep that news for me
32:49until today
32:55uh sorry i i can't believe what i'm hearing imagine how i felt when she laid it on me
33:02are you saying that i have another brother
33:16hey holden you know i was thinking you should talk to your mom she told you eventually but she owes
33:23you an explanation for why she kept it from you for so long i agree i i just don't feel
33:30like talking
33:31all right now
33:35someone's ears were burning
33:39i'll go so you two can talk to me right now don't
33:44i'm i'm not ready
33:47i'd actually rather take a walk
33:52try to join me
34:10holden it's me
34:13i'm sure you're feeling all kinds of emotion
34:17none of the least which is anger toward me from keeping this from you for all these years
34:25i have no excuse and i won't offer one except
34:31i thought what i was doing was the right thing back then
34:35and the more that time passed by it seemed like it didn't matter as much
34:42until malcolm's life was suddenly in jeopardy and i thought you might be the one person that could save
34:47them
34:51guess what they say about secrets is true
34:55they always come out
34:59son all i can hope is that you open your heart
35:06and please find a way to forgive me i'm sorry
35:18lily i know this is a huge shock and i'm sorry to dump it all on you like this
35:24no it's okay i mean
35:26you just found out i just i i cannot believe that i have a half brother
35:36wait do you know who it is i do
35:41okay well i guess that's good right because he could possibly be a donor for you
35:46he's getting tested to see if it's compatible as we speak
35:49wait a second you met him a little while ago for the first time
35:53i'm sorry he's here in town he is and the two of you know each other who is it
36:01and the other one who is it's an important thing for the novak
