00:00I don't know if the fight was delayed, but there's still plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the
00:03day.
00:04Plus, you and I are going to have fun no matter what we do, because this is it.
00:08No pressure. I know that's what we said, but I do feel pressure.
00:13I want to show you around my city, the greatest city in the world, and have it be the perfect
00:16day for you.
00:17Jim?
00:18Yeah.
00:19It's already the perfect day, because we're together.
00:23And don't worry, okay, because we're going to have plenty of time before Aladdin tonight.
00:28You're right.
00:30And in the meantime, I'm going to give you a day that you'll never forget.
00:40I'm so glad we could both sneak away for a little while.
00:42Me too.
00:44And we work in the same building as this gorgeous hotel.
00:47It would be wrong not to take advantage of that.
00:50Very wrong.
00:51Do you have to leave so soon?
00:53Yeah, unfortunately, I have some work waiting for me back at the office.
00:56But you're the boss, and Nina's out of the office until they're meeting later this afternoon.
01:03That's a great point.
01:14Hey, Dad.
01:15Hi, sweet.
01:16Thanks for meeting me.
01:18I always look seeing you.
01:19You said you wanted to see me right away.
01:21Everything okay?
01:23Yeah.
01:23Can't a girl just be excited to hang out with her dad?
01:26Yeah, especially when she wants to know about a friend of hers, and she may think her dad knows something.
01:35Okay, fine.
01:36You got me.
01:38What happened with Ethan after I left him with you and Rick?
01:51You know, some people are actually happy to see me.
01:54I'd ask for proof, but why?
01:57I'm just not one.
01:58I have one question, okay?
02:00And then I'll leave.
02:01Thank God for small mercies.
02:03What's the question?
02:07What do you know about Ethan Lovett?
02:11Hi.
02:12I am supposed to be meeting my stepdaughter here.
02:15We're having lunch.
02:16Is it possible that you seated her in the garden?
02:20The reservation's in the name of Lulu Spencer.
02:26Lulu won't be able to make it.
02:29Will I do instead?
02:37Hold her hug.
02:40Not with all these valuables on.
02:43But, but...
02:45Heat it when Willa leaves me alone with you.
02:50It's unsettling.
02:52You're unsettling.
02:57Would you stop with the blinking, please?
02:59Please.
03:00I know what you're trying to tell me.
03:03I know everything.
03:07Willow shot you.
03:09And when that didn't work to get you out of her life, she put you in that chair.
03:15Blink all you want, Drew.
03:18I'm not going to save you.
03:22Nobody's going to save you.
03:25One last meeting, and then you should be done for the day.
03:28Great.
03:28Thanks.
03:29You know, you have really become invaluable around here.
03:33At the house, too.
03:34Wiley can't stop raving about your baseball coaching.
03:37And Scout told me that you went to her swim meet to cheer her on.
03:41Wiley's a coach's dream.
03:42He catches on fast.
03:43And Scout might actually be part fish.
03:46I wouldn't say she's not.
03:48The kids really adore you.
03:51Well, I think they're pretty great.
03:52It's so nice having them with me.
03:55Hearing about their days, you know?
03:58I bet.
03:59I'm just happy I can be of help.
04:03That must be your next meeting.
04:09Hi, I'm Peter C. Willow, okay?
04:11It's Congresswoman, Kate.
04:13But please, come in.
04:38So, you seem to be staying out of trouble.
04:43I haven't received any requests for ransom lately.
04:46Well, you know, I've appreciated all the times you've bailed me out.
04:49You make it sound like I've never repaid my debts.
04:51You were always reimbursed.
04:53You're right, I was.
04:54And how are you paying your debts back these days?
04:58And by that, I mean, what are you doing for money?
05:04Isn't that...
05:05Oh, and here I was worried it was going to be something sketchy.
05:09Don't ask questions you don't want answers to.
05:11Oh, but I do want the answer.
05:16Well, I'm doing a little work for Sonny.
05:20I had Rick talk to Ethan, ask him a few questions, feel him loud.
05:27And did you hire Ethan?
05:29Trial basis.
05:30We'll see how it goes.
05:31Okay, good.
05:33Jason gone.
05:33You need someone loyal around you.
05:35You don't have to worry about that because I have grace.
05:38Rick?
05:39Rick is no Jason.
05:41He's the same liar he's always been.
05:43I know you don't like Rick, okay?
05:46But he is Molly's father.
05:48He's my brother.
05:49We've worked things.
05:52Why are you so hostile?
05:53Hostile?
05:54I'm not hostile.
05:56Hey, can we just drop it, actually?
05:57No, until you tell me what's really going on.
05:59Dad.
06:00I just want to understand.
06:01You can't trust Rick.
06:02Not after what he did to me and my mom.
06:07Why do you want to know about Ethan Lovett?
06:10He showed up on Sonny's doorstep last night, looking for a job.
06:14Wow.
06:16Okay.
06:18Did he hire him?
06:19Christina was there and she advocated for it.
06:22Christina knows he's back.
06:23Oh, she certainly does.
06:24And she's thrilled that he's back in town.
06:27Well, they have quite a history.
06:30Still doesn't explain why you want to know about Ethan.
06:35Sonny wants me to vet him.
06:37So you're coming to me for a character reference?
06:39Well, I thought maybe you would have some kind of insight or at the very least an opinion.
06:43You never seem to be short on those.
06:45Oh, well, I do, actually.
06:47I like him.
06:49He's certainly a lot more trustworthy than you.
06:53Where do you want to start the tour?
06:55Ah, well, you're the one who grew up here, so I'm putting myself in your hands.
06:58Yes, and yes, I've been here before, but never with you.
07:01And this time, I want the full Geo experience.
07:04Well, you know, we could wander this city for years and years and never see it all.
07:09Well, then we better get started.
07:13I'm sorry, I really am, but you did this to yourself.
07:16You did.
07:16I wish we could let the drugs wear off so you're out of this creepy state.
07:22But we can't.
07:24We can't.
07:25Because you will use what you know about Willow to your advantage.
07:30And give your eyelids a break.
07:33Because I know you.
07:35We all know you.
07:36Making Willow pay will be your first move.
07:39That's why we have to wait.
07:41To find a way to ensure that you can't retaliate against us.
07:45And then we will let you go.
07:48I am counting the days.
07:50Because no one will be more thrilled than me to have you out of our lives forever.
07:56I mean, you know, aside from Willow.
08:02Hold that thought.
08:08Hi.
08:09I'm here to check on our patient.
08:11How's he doing?
08:13And here you go.
08:14Thank you, Kai.
08:16If there's anything you need, let me know.
08:17Otherwise, I'll leave you to it.
08:19Actually, I do have a request.
08:21Would you be able to go by the house and give my mom a hand with Drew?
08:23It's his caregiver's day off, and I know she has a meeting to get to later.
08:26Sure.
08:27I'll head over there after I finish a couple of things in the office.
08:29Great.
08:29I really appreciate it.
08:36Well, I am always happy to meet a congresswoman.
08:40But I must admit, I have no idea why I'm here.
08:43Why do you want to see me?
08:44Because it occurred to me that we are in a position to help one another.
08:49Or we could cause each other irreparable harm.
09:02You're incredible.
09:04You know that?
09:06I do.
09:07But keep talking.
09:08I mean it.
09:10You've been through a lot with me.
09:12I come with a lot of baggage.
09:15I even had some of it.
09:17For some reason, you're still here.
09:20Where else would I be?
09:28I should probably get dressed.
09:30I can hear my desk piling up with new and exciting tasks.
09:33I will watch you miss out on any excitement.
09:37I have a feeling I won't.
09:46With this angle, it's kind of hard to get both of us and the marquee.
09:50Just try again.
09:51Try again.
09:51I can take your photo for you if you want.
09:54Oh, that would be great.
09:55Of course.
09:58Say, I love New York.
10:00I love New York.
10:02Perfect.
10:03Yeah.
10:07Christina has a complicated history.
10:09How so?
10:12She was in an abusive relationship when she was younger with this kid, Kiefer.
10:28She didn't want any of us to know about it, so she hid it and we weren't able to intervene.
10:35So, one night, he beat her up badly and Ethan was the one that found her.
10:40He took her to the hospital and Christina was scared and she was worried what Kiefer would do to her
10:46if she named him.
10:48So, she said that Ethan beat her up instead and then he was arrested.
10:53So, Christina let her know.
10:54Do you want me to finish?
10:55Every word.
10:56I'm sorry.
10:56Please continue.
10:57Okay, so the truth came out and Ethan had every reason to hate Christina, but he didn't because that's the
11:05kind of guy he is.
11:06He's just like his father.
11:08He's just like Luke.
11:09He's fiercely loyal and he's the kind of guy that you want on your side.
11:15Okay, so he forgave her.
11:19Big deal.
11:19It is a big deal.
11:22Well, Kiefer's father was worse than Kiefer and he went on a shooting spree and he shot Ethan and Ethan
11:27almost died.
11:29So, Ethan, after all of this, still forgave Christina, which is why he has a place in my heart.
11:37So, if you're asking me if he's the kind of guy that can be counted on, whether you like it
11:41or not, my answer is yes.
11:44What are you talking about?
11:46What did Rick do to you and your mother that got you so angry?
11:50It's just, it's stuff from the past and it just builds up and it spills over.
11:55Keep going.
11:58When he and mom ended their marriage, they were at each other's throats and I saw firsthand the pain and
12:04the stress that that caused her.
12:05And he was Ava's lawyer in the trial against me and he got her off.
12:10So, if I did a little hard to believe that you have forgiven him, I can't and I never will.
12:16I understand that.
12:17And, you know, I get that you're, how you would feel that way with him defending Ava.
12:23But that was just Rick being a good lawyer.
12:25Well, Dad, if you want to use him as your lawyer, that's fine.
12:28But don't use him as anything else.
12:30I know that you want me to hire Ethan as my non-lawyer because you feel like you owe him
12:36and I feel like I owe Luke.
12:37But being Luke's son is what got him through the door.
12:41If he wants to stay on my side, he's going to have to prove himself that he's reliable.
12:49He has to earn it.
12:52You just can't stay away from Sonny.
12:54You are your father's son.
12:57I miss him, too.
13:00I think about him every day.
13:01I love you, too.
13:05Your father was one of a kind.
13:07And he lived every moment to the fullest.
13:13So should we.
13:15I'm so glad we decided to do this.
13:18As am I.
13:18It's not often like it's such a lovely lunch companion.
13:22Yeah, that man with Tracy.
13:25Something about him seems very familiar.
13:28I believe I recognize him.
13:33I'm sorry that Willow's not here.
13:35She got stuck in a meeting.
13:36Oh, it's fine.
13:37She just mentioned that the caregiver had the day off, so I thought I'd bring over some medical supplies.
13:42And you know, it's not easy stepping into the caregiver role.
13:45So if you want a break, I am more than happy to spend some time with Drew.
13:51You know, actually, that would be great.
13:53I have a crimson call that I need to be on.
13:57So, yes.
13:58Okay, thank you.
13:59Yeah, sure.
14:01I will just be in the other room if you need anything.
14:06Take your time.
14:06You'll be fine.
14:10Hey.
14:13I hate to see you like this.
14:16But you look good.
14:18So I heard Scout had an amazing swim meet last week.
14:23That must make you really happy.
14:25I'm sure you're super happy to just be here at home with Willow.
14:30You know, she's taking care of everything at the office.
14:33I mean, everything.
14:35You must be really proud of her.
14:43Drew?
14:47Are you trying to tell me something?
14:51I assume by your desire to see me that Nina told you everything.
14:57She did.
14:58I know you have the footage placing me on Drew's street the night of his shooting and that you were
15:03blackmailing her to do your bidding or else you'd release it.
15:07But she also said she disarmed you.
15:11Let's just say that she made a compelling argument to let it go.
15:43I'm sure she did.
15:44You should care about me losing this office.
15:47And why is that?
15:48Because having me in this seat serves your interests as much as it does mine.
15:54You just don't know it yet.
15:56It's just that she's trying to tell you.
16:02You should care about me losing it.
16:02You should be like, no, you're not going to be in the office.
16:10I'm sure you're not going to be in the office.
16:11I'm sure you're in the office.
16:18yeah it is awesome well michael's waiting for you you know the way welcome to a new world
16:45man um i don't i not personally he's the son of a former associate of mine holly sutton and luke
16:53of course no that's it not now now i see the likeness yeah well holly i made the unfortunate
16:58mistake of swindling me out of some very valuable property so i took it upon myself to learn all about
17:04her i didn't realize that you and holly had such an acrimonious parting yeah well i don't need to
17:10talk about her theft or her it's just enough that i remember sounds like there's a lot of unfinished
17:17business there when someone crosses me there's no going back they become my enemy through the grave
17:24and beyond is that a warning i certainly hope not well i have no intention of crossing you gents
17:35and not only because we've become sort of close but because like you i put a premium on loyalty
17:43means everything to me it's probably why we get on so well probably
17:53we should send them over a drink
17:57well i think that would be an absolutely lovely thing to do
18:01i understand that you and sonny have very strong allegiances to luke but neither of you are factoring
18:08in that ethan is also holly sutton's son okay and she happens to be an infamous con woman and she
18:14trained ethan and ran cons with him well that's old news and even if that's the case ethan's talents
18:22can be used to sunny's advantage maybe but he's a wild card alexis nobody really knows why he's back in
18:28port
18:29but charles
18:29what
18:30you
