00:07I'm not going to play.
00:09Lily, I'm sorry I got in King's face like that.
00:13Guy bugs the crap out of me.
00:16No, listen, don't apologize for being protective of me.
00:20You're pulling double duty for yourself and my dad.
00:23You know Neil hated him too.
00:27I mean, not all the time.
00:30Most.
00:34Listen, I just want to let you know that I am not going to tell Devon and Nate anything until
00:39you tell me it's okay.
00:43Does anyone else know about your diagnosis?
00:53You want to tell me what you're thinking?
00:58That I don't understand what you're saying.
01:02And maybe I don't want to know.
01:05You may feel that way right now.
01:06I don't even remember my dad.
01:09All I have are those photos when I was a baby.
01:13And then he had a heart attack.
01:16Wait, is this a genetic thing?
01:21You was young.
01:22I'm young.
01:23Do I have some inherited heart disease?
01:25No, that's not what this is about.
01:29Well then, then what is it, Mom?
01:34You say you're coming to visit me.

04:38kidding
04:38me pity is the only thing that people in town have for you you know when you're successful
04:44and you finally became a big deal that's what happens big deal what what what why do you think
04:49that you are a big deal phyllis is it is it because of all the hard work that you did
04:54acquiring new
04:55men all the years of planning and effort now give me the details of your tribe i mean i would
05:01love to
05:01know what you've done other than other than suckering me in i can't hear you because of all
05:06the applause nobody respects you phyllis nobody okay no one thinks that you are sharp or skillful
05:14your kids are disgusted by you and i know how much that sucks that's why i know that smile on
05:21your face
05:21is not very convincing you have nothing in this world besides a business that will never really be yours
05:29so the trophy that you have won phyllis being the most hated person in town that's baton i'm happy to
05:37pass on to you sit down i'm not going to tell anyone about my situation until i have a solution
05:49there's no reason to freak you glow yeah i mean i guess you don't want to deal with like the
05:55sympathy
05:56and the worry will i get it i know you do well just so you know devon and me they
06:02wouldn't they
06:02wouldn't do that i mean they would they would have feelings about it but they wouldn't do anything in
06:08front of you or make a fuss about it in front of you that work but you know what like
06:14your feelings
06:14are the top priority right now so if you feel like it's less stressful to keep things quiet that's fine
06:21but if you do want more support then i'll start talking hey how about you are you okay with this
06:31what do you mean we all lost neil now you gotta carry this around too no listen i am i'm
06:40fine
06:42you know i i'm very glad that you told me and i really hope that i can be the donor
06:49okay right now
06:50it's just a blood test see if you're a match and if you don't find a match there are things
06:57i can do to
06:57buy me time but not a cure i don't have all the details my doctor doesn't take photos i don't
07:05do medical
07:05stuff but i mean i would have to be a match right i i am your biological daughter so that's
07:13what we're
07:13hoping okay well if i am which fingers crossed i will have to tell the kids of course i'll all
07:24tell
07:25them myself their mother's a lifesaver well maybe we can all get together and tell them the news i know
07:34they would love to see you because you mean a lot to them uncle malcolm oh hey you are much
07:43more than that
07:43we actually had a lot of time recently to talk about family and how it's not just about
07:53blood or adoption papers you know it's about trust and honesty and wanting the best for each other
08:04and we talked about how you mean a lot to us
08:09guy finds out he needs a bone marrow transplant he gets big feelings about his family
08:15well we have big feelings about you and you know what we're gonna have a party when you're on the
08:21path
08:22to recovery but first we're gonna get the news that i'm a match and then i'll head to new york
08:28and start
08:29dreaming new york that's where my medical team is here
08:36but i mean wouldn't you want to be with people that support you
08:41if i'm your donor why wouldn't you stay here jerry got to hold you even before i did
08:50since he knew that once i got you i wasn't letting go
08:55he took you from the ob and put you in my arms
09:01you should have seen the smile on his face tears in his eyes
09:09i didn't get enough time together the three of us
09:16if i inherited a heart disease he was a good man
09:22and a good doctor too we met while working in the hospital
09:28i know that but there's some things that you don't know son
09:36when i met your dad i was pregnant
09:45my father was jerry was not your biological father no
09:55so you were you were pregnant you married him i took his last name but i i i don't have
10:01his
10:01genes i know it's a lot it's ridiculous
10:09if you could just just if you could just let me get it all out
10:13i'm already ahead of you i am already ahead of you you didn't tell jerry he died
10:20my biological father died too too late for me to meet him end of story
10:27where are you getting all that from no that's not what happened jerry knew and he loved me he loved
10:35you too and i didn't marry him to give you a last name i married him because he was
10:44brilliant handsome and charming
10:50and then he was taken away from us
10:57we were so busy being in love and parents
11:04physician gail thyself
11:07we didn't know that we were running out of time
11:11but that's that's you
11:13i only have the stories that you told me and then the pictures of the three of us that's it
11:20we took a million of them
11:25men it was all we had you and i
11:29so if i'm wrong about what i said is he still out there is my biological father still alive
11:43look i'm sure your medical team in new york is amazing but emotional support is important
11:48too and if i'm your donor i mean shouldn't we be near each other philly it's a transfusion for me
11:56and a one-time donation from you all i need is your magic stem cells
12:00okay but i'm not gonna let you go through this alone whether i'm your donor or not and i appreciate
12:04that but i got a great doctor in new york stephanie simmons well how did you find her
12:12it's kind of a crazy story your aunt olivia introduced us a long time ago right here in genoa city

19:57stephanie tell me what's going on
19:58and we'll deal with it
20:03wow you make an offer and it comes off as an insult
20:06that's a skill
20:07i'm not gonna blow smoke
20:09i'm not gonna do that
20:10that would be an insult
20:11that would be disrespectful
20:12because you respect me so much
20:14you need to consider this
20:15you need this badly
20:17you know
20:18okay
20:20victor used arabesque as a punching bag
20:23you're not sitting on a mound of cash anymore
20:28you're not gonna stay still
20:30you gotta be busy
20:32i know you
20:33and going around town brooding
20:35i mean that's not gonna do it for you
20:37yeah
20:38you'd be wrong
20:39okay you need to say yes
20:41as tempting as it is
20:45why
20:47because you're not gonna be the big man on campus
20:50because you'll be working for me
20:53your ego won't let you say yes
20:55is that what it is
20:57i mean because that's ridiculous
21:00it's win-win for you
21:01i'm gonna be putting out the money
21:03i'm gonna be taking all the risk
21:06you just at the end of the day
21:08cash a big check
21:17well she looks cheerful doesn't she
21:20but that's a win for you
21:24is lily your target
21:26because that would make sense
21:27after what she did to you
21:28would you stop
21:33thank you
21:33thanks
21:37this isn't a straightforward conversation
21:39and i apologize
21:41i apologize for that up front
21:44okay
21:45talk to me
21:47like i said i'm not surprised that lily was eager to get tested
21:51that girl would have you working on me right now she could
21:55i apologize i didn't realize this before but
22:00lily isn't a donor candidate
22:03what are you talking about he's my daughter
22:05lily had cancer
22:06she's had chemo and radiation
22:09i remember olivia telling me years ago
22:12i'm sorry i didn't put it together before now
22:16that makes her non-viable as a donor
22:25oh my god
22:28and she has no idea
22:31i laid all that on her
22:33making her think that she could save my life
22:38i gotta let her know
22:40so she doesn't get her hopes up anymore
22:43she's not your only option
22:45right
22:45i get on a list
22:48and wait for some anonymous donor to be a match
22:51you really think i got time for that
22:53malcolm this is where the conversation goes in a different direction
22:56there's something that i need to tell you that can change everything
23:02not
23:02could
23:05it will
23:23this is the friend you've been talking with
23:25and he doesn't look old enough to be somebody you knew back in the day when you lived
23:29i want to introduce you to
23:31but
23:32i need to take the lead on this one
23:33so
23:34please
23:34sit down
23:42this
23:43isn't how i wanted to do things but
23:45we don't have time to figure out an easier way
23:48other options
23:51so who are you
23:54or good luck john to help me out
23:58his name is holden
24:00he's a wonderful young man
24:02kind

24:07okay
24:08so what are you a medical prodigy
24:12he's my son malcolm
24:16and yours
24:27why do you do that why do you feel the need to hammer people until you can get a rise
24:31out of them
24:32or try to have a conversation
24:33let me let me make this very clear for you phyllis
24:36i want nothing that you have to offer
24:39nothing a job
24:41a paycheck
24:43a purpose in life
24:45none of that appeals to you
24:46not in the least
24:47okay
24:47it's stupid
24:49it's stupid of you
24:51to be mad at me
24:52for being a success
24:53you know what's stupid
24:53you know what's stupid
24:54i am a friend to you
24:55sucked into your chaos
24:57there is nothing healthy about a friendship with you
25:00phyllis
25:01all you care about
25:02is manipulation
25:03and control
25:06any connection with you
25:07is a trap
25:11that's completely untrue
25:14reconsider your words
25:15reconsider your words
25:16what are you going to do
25:19are you going to come after me
25:21hmm
25:22what could you possibly
25:23do to me that you haven't already done
25:27don't you forget
25:28you did it with a weapon you stole from me
25:31and that's what terrifies you
25:33because you know that i could build another one
25:36funding isn't the issue you think it is
25:39so maybe i do build another one
25:41maybe i use it to come after you
25:43and i take newman from you
25:45only i don't run it
25:47i give it back to victor
25:48just to watch you squirm
25:50knowing there is not a thing
25:51that you can do above it
26:06i wasn't expecting to tell you this way
26:08i don't understand
26:11when i left genoa city
26:12i was pregnant
26:13with your child
26:16and you didn't tell me
26:19we weren't seeing each other anymore
26:21because of your job
26:23it took up all your time
26:24being a doctor was everything that i ever wanted
26:28being a mother
26:31wasn't in the plan
26:32at that moment
26:34and your career was on the rise
26:36so when i got that residency
26:38in new york
26:40it was perfect
26:42it gave me time to think
26:45and then i met him
26:48jerry
26:49back to jerry novak
26:54he knew i was pregnant
26:55he understood
26:57and we talked about telling you
26:59and this jerry got convinced you not
27:01by that time
27:04you were starting the life with olivia
27:05and it was a long time coming
27:08and i was going to be the last one
27:09to get in the way of that
27:10you mean me
27:12i'd get in the way
27:13that's not what i was thinking
27:15you were in love
27:18and maybe it was selfish
27:20no it was
27:22but we felt
27:23the best way to love each other
27:25and you
27:25was to hold each other close
27:29oh then he loved you
27:32what i told you was true
27:35where's jerry now
27:36he died
27:37young
27:40and the life that i dreamed of our family together
27:43it died with him
27:44i'm sorry to hear that i am
27:46why didn't i contact you
27:48yes
27:49because
27:50it felt like betrayal to jerry
27:52i know how that sounds
27:54but
27:54by the time i did decide
27:56i always let something get in the way
27:59your marriage
28:00your work
28:03and i also heard that you had died
28:05and then by the time
28:07that i found out you weren't
28:08i had grieved you
28:10grieved the life
28:11that you two could have had as father and son
28:14and so i moved on
28:17until i pulled you back with this thing
28:22she said that you
28:25you need my help
28:27so
28:30what is it you need me to do
28:40he doesn't know
28:43but you're gonna have to be more specific
28:45there is
28:46a lot
28:47i don't know

35:37um be a stem cell donor
35:39is that something that i can do at your office

36:00yeah okay
36:01um no no yeah i'm i'm sorry too
36:05thank you
36:07thank you
36:11welcome
36:13welcome
36:40I didn't know you ever lived here.
36:43You never mentioned it.
36:46Holden, the most important thing that happened here was you.
36:50And you were already part of me when I left town.
36:53But what about when I told you I was coming to General City?
36:56I never thought you'd stay.
36:57Not a huge chance of us running into each other.
37:01Or did you just not think it mattered anymore?
37:04That it was buried forever?
37:06I don't have any answers if you want to know the truth.
37:09Malcolm was someone that I cared about years ago.
37:13And someone that my friend Olivia loved.
37:17And he's sick.
37:18My son's biological father is ill.
37:22So my one thought is to make him well.
37:25For everyone's sake, including yours.
37:29Now, we can talk, argue and explain later on.
37:34But for now, Holden, will you please see if you're a match?
37:39You might be the only person that could save his life.
37:42Yes.
37:46.
