00:01The show was amazing. Okay, the singing and the choreography and the special effects and come on you you were
00:07amazing. Oh, stop. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it. I loved it. Okay, I loved every single thing about
00:14it. And before I forget, I also love the wardrobe and the sets and oh my God, we have the
00:20best designers and crew in the business. You know, the last set is up for probably a few more minutes
00:27if you want to take a closer look.
00:28Could I? Of course. Don't touch anything or they'll put you in Broadway jail. Nerded. I'll be right back.
00:39She's a keeper. I know. Got lucky. So happy that Port Charles has been so good to you. Now wait,
00:47how's the music scene there? Oh, it's very happy. My friend Trina's dad owns a club, the Savoy. They bring
00:53really great shows. I know they love to have you perform there.
00:56I love the Savoy. I love the Savoy. And you know, I love to perform. Obviously. Hey, I'll set up
01:03the gig with Trina's father. He'll contact your people. Port Charles is going to know what hit it.
01:08Come on, let's go. That's what I'm talking about, man. They're going to love you.
01:12I am delighted that our schedules aligned and we were able to meet for dinner. Yeah, me too. But just
01:21for the sake of clarity, we are both too young to make the early bird special a regular date, right?
01:30Please. Today's mealtime is purely a function of timing.
01:34Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
01:39Um, you know what? There's something I have to take care of. I'll be right back.
01:43The first one. Yeah.
01:50Ah, Mayor Collins. Pleasure to see you as always. Here to save me from myself yet again.
01:59Well, that depends. Do you need saving?
02:10Need to ask you some questions.
02:13Oh, in that case, definitely come by anytime you want to unannounced.
02:16I already do, but you're sweet to say it out loud.
02:19Does your mother know you're here?
02:20The quid pro quo of my mother risking everything to protect you is I get to show up here and
02:28get all the information out of you that I want.
02:31Oh, so you're a glass half full person.
02:33Which is why I'm so sure you're going to tell me everything I want to know about Anna Duvain and
02:39Cesar Faison.
02:41How was your trip?
02:43It was fine.
02:44But I barely had a chance to unpack before you texted and insisted I meet you here immediately.
02:50Well, I really appreciate you coming.
02:53So let's get to it. I have a small window before jet lag takes me.
02:57What's the trouble? Is it James?
02:59Oh, no, no. James is great.
03:02He's taken up karate and he's mildly obsessed with it.
03:05God help the sensei.
03:08If not James, then...
03:10It's Anna.
03:11I'm assuming her progress has been minimal.
03:14I heard from Robin.
03:16And not only is Anna not making progress, she's getting worse.
03:34Finally.
03:35What took you so long?
03:36No.
03:38My job.
03:39We're going to case that and you texting me every hour.
03:42This is important.
03:43I'm sure it is.
03:44It usually is because you realize I don't answer to you, right?
03:48So I don't care if it will hurt your feelings or Pascal didn't make your tea the way you like
03:53it
03:54or you don't feel like working on the prototype.
03:56You can't come crying to me.
03:57What?
03:58I know Rocco's shot column.
04:24Nothing to see here, I promise.
04:28Another shirt on the table, Keltzman?
04:31With extra cherries.
04:32Please take it easy on the grenadine this time.
04:38Surprise.
04:40As you can see, I am still young at heart, therefore perfectly capable of changing my list in desirable ways.
04:49At least some of them.
04:50I really am glad to hear that.
04:54But remember what we talked about, though.
04:56You can call me if the pressure becomes too great for you and me, Shirley Temple Day, Kendall.
05:06If I have to, I will.
05:09Promise.
05:11Good.
05:14Enjoy your drink.
05:23What was that all about?
05:26And why is Ezra drinking something that looks like Hello Kitty made it?
05:32Because he's drinking a Shirley Temple.
05:37I know, I know.
05:40It's just that he had a few too many the other day at the brown dog, and I don't know,
05:46I'm still thrown out, as a matter of fact.
05:48Were there complaints filed?
05:50Were the police involved?
05:51Oh, sweetheart, I assure you, this is not a story.
05:54No.
05:55A city councilman is publicly intoxicated?
05:58It sounds like a story to me, a potentially important one.
06:01Or perhaps it's just a man who made one bad choice after another, you know?
06:06And no one was hurt.
06:08Except, of course, for him, and I think that maybe the hangover was a punishment enough.
06:14I don't get it, Mom.
06:16That guy has been nothing but a huge thorn in your side.
06:21Why are you suddenly protecting him?
06:24The doctors at the clinic were confident that rest and distance from her regular life would free Anna of her
06:32delusions.
06:34But unfortunately, that course of treatment seems to be having the opposite effects.
06:40Meaning she still convinced that Cezaya's alive and is holding her captive?
06:44Yes, her paranoia has gotten worse.
06:48She now thinks that her doctors are working for Faison and doing his bidding.
06:54She keeps trying to escape, and she's almost succeeded more than once.
07:00They beat well advice to double the guard.
07:02Anna will try again.
07:04And given her training and experience, someone may end up getting hurt.
07:09Well, that's why I wanted to meet you here.
07:14I was hoping that you could help me prevent that from happening.
07:19I'm sorry for Anna's troubles, but what can I possibly do?
07:23I've already told you everything I know about Cezaya.
07:26One of Anna's delusions is that you are part of Faison's scheme.
07:33She believes that he brought you in to give her a phlebotomy treatment and that you are still loyal to
07:42him.
07:44So, I was hoping that you and I could go to France and you could explain to her face-to
07:53-face that you are not Faison's co-conspirator and that it's all in her mind.
08:01That I cannot do.
08:05Any word on Anna?
08:06As far as I know, she's still in the hospital in France.
08:10There's no change in her condition.
08:14And there's still charges pending from her assault on that officer.
08:18What do you want to know about Anna and Faison?
08:24A little light reading?
08:26Just a little something I picked up after discovering Colum carrying it around the night of the storm at Windermere.
08:33And inside it, there was an inscription that said,
08:36For my muse, see.
08:38He was also carrying around a box of cigarrillos.
08:42Cigarrillos?
08:43Faison smoked us.
08:45So, any idea on how and why Colum would be carrying around two items so closely associated with Faison?
08:54What are you talking about?
08:56Rocco didn't shoot Colum.
08:57Jason shot Colum.
08:58You're the one who told Dante that.
09:00As good as you are at lying, it's too late.
09:03Rocco told me everything.
09:08Oh, well, that was a mistake.
09:10He wasn't supposed to tell anybody.
09:12He needed to tell someone.
09:14He's drowning in guilt.
09:16Well, if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, then feeling guilty is going to be the least of his problems.
09:21He's a kid.
09:22And he shot someone.
09:24Yes, he did it to save Jason's life.
09:26And probably mine.
09:27But now Jason is paying the price.
09:29It's a lot for him to handle.
09:30Stop it.
09:31You're not his therapist.
09:33Just worry about the work at Windermere.
09:34You let me worry about Rocco.
09:36What does that mean?
09:37That I will protect him.
09:38I'm already doing everything I can to make sure that nobody finds out what happened on the pier.
09:43Yeah, for now.
09:45But what happens when you need to score points with Colum?
09:50How do I know they're not just going to hand Rocco over on a silver platter?
09:54You really think that that's something that I would do to a 15-year-old?
09:58To Lulu's 15-year-old?
10:00Well, it's exactly what our father would do.
10:43Do you have a secret career as a Broadway dancer?
10:47Oh, yeah.
10:48Only in my dreams.
10:51In this strip.
10:54It's been a dream.
10:56Only you made it real.
10:59I'd do anything for you.
11:11You know, I've been so worried about my grandma that I haven't really had time to think about anything else.
11:19And you took my mind off of that for a little while.
11:23And I don't know how I'm ever going to thank you for such a magical night.
11:26I'll think of something.
11:27You know, I've been so worried about my grandma that I haven't really had time to think about anything else.
11:52man there's like a million people waiting out there for you thank you again for the tickets
11:57and for the backstage tour i'm a girl i love meeting you hey i'm gonna get curtis to book
12:05michael at this point oh no that's so fun we'll see you in court charleston i can't wait
12:14i know that you and anna have a complicated history but she deserves every chance to come
12:21out of this with her sanity intact you misunderstand it's not that i don't want to help anna it's that
12:29i'm not capable of it if i go to france with you my presence would only reinforce her delusions
12:36and cause her further harm well you'd be with me she'd believe you'd been co-opted by cesar's
12:44network you say anna claims that i'm working with the captors and that i gave her medical attention
12:52in her mind the only reason i would do that is because i'm still married to cesar but you could
13:01find a way to prove to anna that you're not couldn't you from what you've described she
13:07believes i'm i'm still working for a man who's so disgusted me i repudiated him years ago
13:15how can i convince her of anything when she won't believe a word i say isn't that at least worth
13:21a try
13:22i realize i'm the the latest try you're grasping in an attempt to save your friend and i commend you
13:29for your effort but if you were thinking more rationally you'd see that and would interpret
13:35a visit for me as another one of cesar's manipulative tactics i'm sorry but i cannot save
13:43and why would colin be carrying a copy of this book with a pack of cigarillos
13:53colin was the wsb phase on expert maybe he's using them as an opportunity to get back in the man's
13:59head okay but what's the end game it's no secret that anna was haunted by phase on's obsession with
14:10her colin would have known that she was emotionally vulnerable when it came to him okay so so what
14:17you think colin was was using these items as props to help him set anna up yes but the timeline
14:24does
14:25not work because colin was in town when anna was picked up in france there is a connection but i'm
14:33not seeing it what the hell is it
14:42our father wouldn't see rocco as a person he'd see him as leverage they wouldn't hesitate to use
14:47rocco if it helped him achieve his desired outcome i am not our father everything that i have done since
14:54i
14:54showed up on that pier has been about shielding rocco i am the one that took him out of a
14:59crime
14:59scene and brought him back to lulu i am the one that made sure both of them knew in no
15:04uncertain terms
15:05that no one was to know that he picked up the gun and pulled the trigger isn't that exactly what
15:11you'd
15:11do if you wanted to use rocco for leverage yourself get him to trust you act like you're helping him
15:19keep
15:19a secret until the time comes when you can use that information to your own advantage look i get
15:24that i don't hold a candle to saint nathan all right but do you really believe that i want column
15:31to know that rocco shot him because then column knows that rocco knows that he's a double agent and
15:38he will kill rocco just like he killed marco i don't need your gratitude for what happened on the pier
15:46or for saving your life but you need to get something in your head i will protect rocco
15:52nothing bad will happen to him and that is a promise
15:58can you get it together please what if somebody was downstairs and had heard you
16:04if column has driven anna insane by playing on her worst fear i will not stop until i have destroyed
16:11him
16:11i will put him in a padded room screaming at an audience of no one hey hey can we press
16:17pause
16:17on your revenge plan really quick because it doesn't matter why you want to bring column down
16:23all i care about is that you get it done and in order for you to do that you need
16:27to get a grip
16:29okay so can we start by remembering nobody can know you're here
16:35what else do you want from it i want information and not just on column on on everybody he's working
16:42with so uh said well broke marco before he was killed what about nathan west is there any possibility
16:50that he's involved in this
16:55okay let's let's say i believe you're going to protect rocco
17:00well my next question is how are we going to make sure he stays safe or we we are not
17:07going
17:07to do anything i will handle this you are not keeping me out of this you're going to keep yourself
17:12out of this because the best thing you can do for the kid is to make sure that sitwell and
17:16column are
17:17happy i'm already doing that i'm working every chance i get i just spent the whole night in the
17:23lab at windermere and as far as rocko goes you are going to need my help what am i going
17:28to need you
17:28for because i found rocko in column's hospital room when what was he doing in column's hospital
17:35room his community service he didn't realize it was column's room when he was sent in there by the
17:40time i walked in they were already talking about what nothing but i got rocko out before column could
17:45suspect anything but if i hadn't shown up who knows what would have come up so so you just you
17:51you find
17:52rocko in column's hospital room and you just yank him out of there and you don't think that column
17:56is going to find that the least bit strange i'm not going to leave rocko to fend for himself
18:01rocko knows he's not supposed to tell anybody what he did so why did he tell me i don't know
18:06well i do because rocko is scared and traumatized and feels guilty he told me because he needs my help
18:13he doesn't need your help he needs his mother and that ain't you
18:22maybe a better place to start is how did you even know about ezra's fender at the brown dog
18:29oh dante he stopped by my office to let me know that that he was at the brown dog well
18:34on his way to
18:35making a spectacle of himself dante did why because he knows how many times ezra has exploited me he thought
18:43maybe i would want to use ezra's bad line out to my own advantage somehow but instead of giving as
18:51good as you got you went to the brown dog to help the city's most obnoxious councilman okay well i'm
18:59not the type of politician to tear down my political opponents besides much to my surprise i found myself
19:10feeling kind of badly for him mom that has got to stop your passion has been a constant my entire
19:22life
19:23and i had been its beneficiary in a million different ways but ezra boyle is a public servant
19:30and i could argue that the people of port charles deserve to know that a member of their town council
19:36is going off the rails i know you could you don't even have to get involved i could follow up
19:43with
19:43a bartender and i could get the story out that way yes i know you can but i really hope
19:48that you won't
19:50uh pardon the interruption but uh if you allow me i would love to pick up your tab as a
19:57small token of
19:58my thanks that's thanks for what councilman your mother did me a kindness that's one way of putting
20:07it i guess keeping you off the hook for public intoxication is another i was thinking about
20:19writing the story myself to highlight my mother's good deed of course but my mother convinced me that
20:26there wasn't a story there so i'm gonna let it go just another reason you should be grateful to her
20:37i see
20:41well mayor collins
20:44i do my best to lead by example but when will you learn you have me right where you want
20:53me
20:53you have the advantage why are you not using it who says i'm not
21:10oh man
21:13so my publicist also michael gots you a reservation at my favorite act of theater spot
21:19he'll meet y'all up in the front and i will see you at the savoy yeah thanks again man
21:25like you're
21:26the best you're the best seriously this is special man i'm never gonna freaking
21:32okay keep that or not keep that or not okay okay okay
21:39and relax
21:53so you do have something up your sleeve care to share just following your example and you are the one
22:00who
22:00told me that politics was all about trading favors i'm surprised you'd be willing to take a page from
22:06the old Ezra Boyle playbook i'm happy to learn from anyone even you and how will i be repaying you
22:15for
22:15this favor madam mayor you are going to give me 100 of your support when i announce my next initiative
22:25universal pre-k for poor charles and if i don't support you oh i may suddenly feel the urge to
22:34do a deep
22:34dive into your patronage at the brown dog bar and your habit of spending time with escorts
22:43no need just tell me when and where and i will be there nodding and smiling i can even match
22:50my tie to
22:51whatever outfit you plan on wearing that day no don't do that ever you know um it's not really a
23:01favor because your initiatives are always so sensible and popular with the voters i support you i come
23:09out and smell like a rose win-win have a funny evening ladies
23:22well played mom right back at you daughter nathan's an eagle scout who has all his badges nathan's an
23:30eagle scout who's been missing for seven years and then all of a sudden he turns up out of the
23:35blue
23:35unable to remember anything that happened to him yet somehow manages to pick up his life right where
23:42he left off you think maybe i'd help making that happen well it's not an impossible leap right look at
23:48brit we know what happened to her and that phase on's people were behind it why shouldn't phase on be
23:55behind nathan's disappearance more likely than not so you agree that nathan's hiding something not
24:01necessarily it could be that he has no memory of what happened to him i mean there are ways to
24:06manipulate the human mind i would imagine phase on's disciples know some if not all of them so either
24:12an innocent man has been returned to live his life which would make nathan the one exception to the all
24:18phase ons are criminals rule or nathan is just as dangerous as the rest of them and you should leave
24:24me
24:28it's tragic what's happened to anna such a strong vital woman incapacitated because of a delusion
24:36better understand how it could have taken hold
24:40if anyone could return from the dead
24:44it would be cesar do you know something
24:49i know that my children have come back to me and it gives me pause that anna the object of
24:57cesar's
25:00obsession is the one insisting she has seen him is there any chance that anna's assertions are
25:08grounded in fact and that he is somehow alive i can see how you want that to be true because
25:15it would
25:16mean that your friend the same however for the sake of my children
25:24and bring that anna is wrong
25:28and that cesar is long dead
25:33column knows that you care about him which means he can use that against you so i don't know maybe
25:39try
25:39not making things worse for the kid
25:42rocco opened up to me it's obvious he needs someone to talk to someone he can trust and i promised
25:49him that i would fix that he doesn't need you to do that he has lulu he has me together
25:56she and
25:57i will get him through this oh my god how dense are you there is no you and lulu there
26:03can't be
26:12i may have eaten too much i definitely did and i blame michael james scott why he's the one who
26:21made
26:21that reservation well everything on the menu was incredible it's not like we could stop eating we're
26:28not robots merely humans as soon as i get up the energy
26:40i'm gonna call him and i'm gonna thank him that was incredible
26:47i thought you said you were stuffed it's our dessert hey i wasn't judging good
26:57you gonna share or for sure
27:04you know if we're not planning to annihilate ourselves at every meal
27:10maybe next time we're in the stadium we should eat at the bus station uh first of all
27:17second of all there's gonna be a next time yeah i mean i hope so i don't know if i
27:23could top this
27:24adventure but joe you don't have to top anything you are the adventure
27:31i don't know about that oh i do when i'm with you i see the world with new eyes
27:39well new years but what do you mean you see the world through new years
27:46music and sound that's a part of your soul walking down the street you know when you hear the the
27:54garbage trucks in the subway i can see you taking that in trust me it's not the way that i
28:01do
28:05yeah the subway it's like a it's like a tiny orchestra right
28:14it really is like like the the subway rumble oh it's like the base
28:23and the subway horn it's like a french horn obviously naturally and the subway breaks
28:33it's a piccolo or maybe like a like an e-flat clarinet what about the people yeah the throne
28:42it's like it's like muted violin strings
28:48and it may be a bassoon
28:51and it's symbol roll for sure it's
28:56kitchen up all these oh oh man that's like the whole percussion section including the triangle
29:04and uh you opening the dessert back oh angels singing from up above
29:20it doesn't matter where we go or what we do you are my whole new world
29:35how was rocco's hand it's healing not as fast as he or anyone would like but
29:42it's getting there well i guess you can't really call yourself a cook unless you've got a scar too
29:47to show for your time spent in the kitchen right brocco's more of a microwaver and occasional vegetable
29:54slicer retired no oh he'll be back i hope so why do you think he won't be it's not just
30:04his hand
30:08brocco's been distant lately i know that he's upset about
30:16danny's situation and what happened to jason yeah well he's not the only one and rocco feels things so
30:24deeply especially about people who he really cares about like danny and it is a really wonderful quality
30:31but in this case it's just taking its toll well it's an awful situation at least both boys can lean
30:39on family
30:41and i'm trying to be patient and just give him some time
30:46and i am trying my best not to hover
30:52trying it turns out that hovering is my default setting
30:56no one of the hardest things to do as a mother is to know when to take a step back
31:03and then to actually do it i know and i don't think i can do it at all if
31:11if it weren't for nathan
31:16you know it's not right lulu thinks she's sleeping with courageous honest loyal nathan west and not
31:24yeah i know i know not treacherous lying cassius well yeah look most of the time i'm not in a
31:32position to judge i'm sure but i'm not in a relationship pretending to be someone else
31:38you need to put distance between you and lulu what about james where am i supposed to distance
31:46myself from him because i'm not his real dad in a perfect world yes but it's too late with james
31:54you're already in his life as his father you made that little boy love you if you were to pull
31:59away from him now it would break his heart but lulu is an adult most of the time you can
32:07still back
32:07away say you say you decided you couldn't betray maxi or mess up your friendship with dante who is also
32:16your boss take your pick lulu will survive but you need to do it now before she really falls for
32:24you
32:26do it for rocco's sake
32:30your concern is touching but i don't answer to you are you answering to anyone right now
32:39person i recognize your professional competence agent jacks i do i'm not arguing with you right
32:46now as a colleague i'm arguing as a friend of your mother's i've seen it firsthand she's agonizing over
32:52you every minute of every day doesn't every parent feel that way yes i suppose that's true but this
33:01is an extreme circumstance you're in a lot of trouble i don't think you should go looking for more
33:17hello
33:20that's right great thank you i gotta go you please tell me that you heard me
33:30i heard you but it doesn't mean i'm gonna listen
33:47i'm so happy to see you do you have a minute to chat i'm afraid i was just leaving i've
33:52recently
33:52returned to port charles after a very long journey and i'm ready to go home oh well this will only
33:57take
33:57a minute perhaps we can catch up some other time last time we spoke you thought it was possible that
34:04someone was impersonating your ex-husband do you still believe that why do you ask because i think
34:11you're right do you think that someone could be your son
34:21we want you uh this is really dr kevin carlens
34:36sounds like things are going well with you and nathan
34:40they are as tough as things have been with rocco nathan's been a consistent bright spot
34:49good so you feel supported by him completely good it's really easy to lean on him well that's a
34:57relief because you had misgivings about getting involved with him initially i did i think part of
35:05the reason i was able to get over them is because i know exactly who nathan is and he's always
35:15honest
35:15with me i think he might be the best thing that's happened to me in a really long time sweetheart
35:30when lulu finds out who you really are it is going to break her maybe she will put herself back
35:36together again maybe not but either way rocco is going to suffer well i hear you but okay but that's
35:43not gonna happen because i'm in love with lugo that was fast yeah and i'm gonna keep being nathan
35:54for as long as it takes to hold on to her and then what
36:00what's your long-term plan that's what i thought one way or another the truth will come out it always
36:10does so if you really love lulu you need to end it now
36:33probably not the best idea yeah your friend's already doing us a big favor by letting us stay
36:39here yeah yeah we should probably leave this couch alone yeah and you know what they say
36:48friends don't canoodle on other friends couches
36:52mhm mhm
36:55but hey hey you did buy him some really nice olive oil though yeah yeah i mean it's the least
37:01i could do
37:02to thank him for letting us stay here and you bought olivia some because because i love her
37:10i don't want to make her happy and cook and makes her happy and i thought she could use it
37:15when she cooks
37:16and maybe if she could something with it she might let you try it i was planning to cut you
37:22in on
37:22whatever she made oh well then it's the perfect gift tell me the truth no regrets about not seeing
37:31your family on this trip no no we'll see them next time and that will be an adventure
37:41well i'll start preparing now and it was great meeting michael he's a great friend i missed him a lot
37:53and you really don't miss out on all the glamour and excitement of the theater when you saw him
37:58i got all the excitement i can handle right here
38:07what is it no you you have a glitter on you from hugging michael right here is you
38:17no no no my dad i thought you did it's just
38:24what's new do you just sparkle
