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.
15:59Oh, no.
16:00You should know it.
16:02Yo, Jerry.
16:04What's going on, man?
16:0694, no, see.
16:07Michael told me you were coming, but I wasn't going to believe it until I saw her myself.
16:11How you been?
16:12Good, man.
16:13Good.
16:13This is my girlfriend, Emma Scorpio Drake.
16:15Hi, nice to meet you, Emma.
16:17First time to sing Aladdin?
16:18Yeah, it is.
16:19Awesome, well, Michael's waiting for you.
16:21You know the way.
16:24Welcome to a new world.
16:45Liam?
16:46Um, I don't.
16:47Not personally.
16:47He's the son of a former associate of mine, Holly Sutton and Luke Spencer.
16:53Of course.
16:54No, that's it.
16:54Now I see the likeness.
16:56Yeah, well, Holly made the unfortunate mistake of swindling me out of some very valuable property,
17:01so I took it upon myself to learn all about her.
17:06I didn't realize that you and Holly had such an acrimonious parting.
17:09Yeah, well, I don't need to talk about her theft or her.
17:12It's just enough that I remember.
17:15Sounds like there's a lot of unfinished business there.
17:19When someone crosses me, there's no going back.
17:22They become my enemy through the grave and beyond.
17:27Is that a warning?
17:29It certainly is not.
17:31Well, I have no intention of crossing you, James.
17:35And not only because we've become sort of close, but because like you,
17:39I put a premium on loyalty.
17:43It means everything to me.
17:45It's probably why we get on so well.
17:49Probably.
17:52We should send them over a drink.
17:57Well, I think that would be an absolutely lovely thing to do.
18:01Yeah.
18:03I understand that you and Sonny have very strong allegiances to Luke,
18:07but neither of you are factoring in that Ethan is also Holly Sutton's son.
18:11Okay, yeah.
18:11And she happens to be an infamous con woman,
18:13and she trained Ethan and ran cons with him.
18:17Well, that's old news.
18:18And even if that's the case,
18:21Ethan's talents can be used to Sonny's advantage.
18:24Maybe.
18:25But he's a wild card, Alexis.
18:27Nobody really knows why he's back in Port Charles.
18:29What if he's here on behalf of one of Sonny's enemies?
18:34I've been thinking about the offer Agent Brennan made me.
18:37If I come through with whatever information he wants on Valentin,
18:43he'll come through for me with whatever he has on Willow.
18:46Look, I don't think it's a good idea for you to get mixed up with that guy.
18:49But I made you look guilty when our alibi got torn apart on the stand,
18:52and Agent Brennan says whatever he has on Willow can help make up for that.
18:57How can we say no to that?
18:59How can I?
18:59I so appreciate that you're willing to do that for me.
19:03I really am.
19:04But all that matters to me right now is having you by my side.
19:09Now, the best revenge against Willow is living my life and living it well.
19:13I'm with you and my kids.
19:16I plan on doing just that.
19:21Okay, when you were in the hospital, we established that one blink meant yes and two means no,
19:25but this three blinking thing, I don't know what it means.
19:28Are you trying to tell me something specific?
19:33Okay, uh, say yes.
19:35I don't know what it could be.
19:38I, uh...
19:44Okay, I'll...
19:45All right, that was three blinks fast, three slow, three fast.
19:50Fast.
19:52Drew, is that an SOS?
19:54Are you...
19:55You ask him for help?
19:59Oh, um, okay.
20:01Well, what kind of help?
20:06Drew, what's wrong?
20:08I don't know.
20:10Why would I care if you lose your congressional seat?
20:13I sit on the International Law Enforcement Appropriations Committee,
20:20which oversees U.S. funding for the WSB.
20:24I can expedite that funding, maybe even expand it,
20:28or I can make sure the WSB receives nothing.
20:32And when your superiors come to me asking why I blocked their funding request,
20:36I will say it was because of you and your harassment.
20:40I can't imagine that would bode gold for your future with the agency.
20:45It might even result in you being relocated far away from Carly.
20:50Or they might just kick you to the curb altogether.
20:54Alternatively, I could lobby on the Bureau's behalf
20:57and sing your praises to anyone with ears.
21:06I didn't think you had this in you.
21:09It's a mistake I won't make again.
21:12So all I have to do is make sure that footage of you on Drew's street
21:16the night of the shooting never sees the last day?
21:19That, and one more thing.
21:22I need evidence.
21:25Highly prejudicial evidence against your ex-husband, Michael, I assume.
21:29No, not Michael.
21:31True.
21:36This is incredible.
21:38It's pretty magical, right?
21:41Man, I love playing here.
21:43The acoustics are phenomenal.
21:45It's the oldest operating theater on Broadway
21:47and New York City landmark.
21:51It's beautiful.
21:51I can't believe that you weren't here.
21:53Yeah, it really is.
21:56This is supposed to be haunted.
21:58Okay.
22:02I guess we'll get back to that later.
22:08I know that you can never rule out anything in Sonny's world.
22:11But really, what is the likelihood of Sonny's enemy trying to recruit Ethan to go after him?
22:18And why would Ethan go along with it?
22:20Well, I don't know.
22:20You tell me you know him so well.
22:22I find that the simplest explanation is usually the one that makes the most sense.
22:28Because Sonny and Luke were partners and friends, and that's why Ethan is here.
22:32Oh, yeah, yeah.
22:34No, I don't think so.
22:35Look, I can't bend the guy down, but I am convinced that Ethan is running some kind of angle here.
22:40Why are you so determined to undermine Ethan?
22:42I just told you.
22:44I want to make sure that Sonny's not in a position of vulnerability.
22:47You know what I think?
22:49Please.
22:50I think this isn't about Ethan or Sonny's safety.
22:54I think this is about you.
22:57Hi.
22:58I'm so glad to see you.
22:59I know.
23:00Nice to see you, too.
23:00What are you guys doing here?
23:02Well, we're just taking advantage of the fact that we work in the same building now.
23:05We're having a late lunch.
23:07What?
23:08What are you guys up to?
23:10I was just talking to Dad about my old friend, Ethan Lovett, who's back in town, and he's going to
23:15be working for Dad.
23:18Oh, I'm sorry.
23:19We didn't order those.
23:20They're from the gentleman over there.
23:22He says he's a friend of your mother's.
23:26Jen's at Sidwell.
23:28The man is at Pestilence.
23:29Yeah, I know who he is.
23:31That man nearly killed my mother and Sasha and Lucky.
23:40Ethan.
23:41I'm just going to go talk to him.
23:43Don't try to stop me.
23:44Oh, I wasn't going to.
23:46I was going to offer backup.
23:54What were you saying about the place being haunted?
23:57They're on stage.
23:59Come on, Emma.
24:02Look at this place.
24:03It's beautiful.
24:05Towers of gold.
24:07Wow.
24:19Hey, didn't Jerry say that Michael was supposed to be waiting for us?
24:36Oh, my gosh.
24:38Good to see you.
24:39Oh, this must be Emma.
24:40Hey.
24:41Welcome to New Amsterdam Theater and to Agra, Bob.
24:44We don't come this way.
24:45Let's show you some more.
24:46It's got to be Ed, y'all.
24:50I'm so sorry.
24:51I don't know what you're trying to tell me.
24:53This must be really frustrating for you.
24:57Drew, you know, there are other tools you can be using to communicate besides blinking.
25:03And from what I see here, I think you're ready for them.
25:07I want to talk to Willow about it.
25:09What do you need to speak to Willow about?
25:17So, what kind of evidence are you looking for against Drew?
25:20I'm not picky.
25:22Whatever you can find.
25:23If I know Drew, he's mixed up in all sorts of illegal things.
25:27Bribes, foreign money, kickbacks.
25:29Who knows what?
25:31So, I need everything you can find on him.
25:34At the very least, I need to know if he had any connection to Judge Herron's death.
25:39So, you still have it out for your husband, huh?
25:42It wasn't enough that you shot him?
25:46Gorgeous.
25:47Well, Sparkle, you said you wanted to Sparkle.
25:49I'm going to give you some Sparkle.
25:50I'm going to get these pants.
25:51These pants, 1500 Sivorsky crystals.
25:54Michael, where have you been?
25:56They've called 15.
25:57It's time for you to get your Jeannie makeup on.
25:59Oh, okay, I'm going to go.
26:00You don't want to make us your own man.
26:05Oh, hey, I meant to text you.
26:07We are doing another open mic night at Charlie's, and no pressure, obviously,
26:11but I'd love to have you sing again if you're up for it.
26:14Maybe I will.
26:15It was a lot of fun.
26:17So, Christine is convinced that Ethan can fill in for Jason,
26:20but something tells me you aren't.
26:23No one can fill Jason's shoes.
26:25I need somebody good who I can trust until he comes back.
26:29That's a smart move.
26:30But Ethan's, uh, his track record, he's erratic.
26:35He's going to have to prove himself reliable.
26:39What about your own?
26:43Pass is the pass, as far as I'm concerned.
26:47Mr. Sidwell, Ethan Lovett, at long last.
26:51I'm sorry, but I can't accept drinks from someone
26:54who's repeatedly tried to harm my family.
26:56I'm swathing into the bridge.
26:59Besides, Holly and Sasha are in France now.
27:07They're living in this adorable, quaint, little countryside cottage, aren't they?
27:14Peace is good, Mr. Sidwell.
27:16It's far better than the alternative.
27:18The alternative could cost someone a lot.
27:22Oh!
27:23Oh, now, now, there's no need for threats, Mr. Lovett.
27:26Nor is there any need for veiled ones, either.
27:30Oh, hi, Tracy.
27:31It's always such a pleasure.
27:33I see that Mr. Sidwell is your latest mark.
27:36Oh, no, no, no, no.
27:37Our arrangement is, uh, mutually, uh, beneficial.
27:42You know what?
27:43This conversation is making me miss Lucy Coe.
27:46Words I never thought I'd say.
27:48Let's go enjoy our lunch.
27:54Michael is so sweet.
27:55Now I can't wait for the show to start.
27:57Oh, and we have great teachings to Michael.
28:00He's like a supernova in human form.
28:03But you know what's really funny?
28:05I actually never seen his full performance or the whole show.
28:10It's weird.
28:10I mean, I was always watching the conductor or looking at my music.
28:14Tonight, we'll be in the audience.
28:17Not the orchestra.
28:19Do you think maybe we could go down there before the show starts?
28:23I kind of want to see what it's like to be a Broadway musician.
28:28Your wish is my command, princess.
28:31I should not like hearing you say that as much as I do.
28:36I don't see any point in rehashing the past, Chief Brennan.
28:39Or should I say Director Brennan?
28:43Depending on how you play this.
28:45Ah, now you're dangling a promotion.
28:48I'm just illustrating possibilities.
28:51Drew's trying to communicate with me.
28:53And not just yes or no, it's more.
28:54He's blinking three times fast and then three times slow and then fast again.
28:58I think it's like an SOS.
29:00Oh, are you sure?
29:02Because it's funny.
29:03He's never done that in front of me.
29:05And maybe it's just reflexive movements.
29:09Um, excuse me.
29:12Yeah.
29:16Hi.
29:17Hi, Kai.
29:19Uh, come on.
29:21Oh, Nurse Baldwin, hello.
29:23Uh, please call me Elizabeth.
29:24Uh, Willow sent me to relieve you so you can go to your meeting.
29:27And I don't think she knew if Elizabeth was here.
29:29But if you guys are both busy, I'm happy to sit with Drew until Willow gets here.
29:33No, no, that's okay.
29:33I just had a call that covered most of what my meeting was about.
29:36I'm just gonna call everyone and just cancel it.
29:39But I'm really glad you're here because I was just telling Nina that Drew's trying to tell us something.
29:45We just need to figure out what.
29:52This is right where I used to sit.
29:54Right next to the conductor.
29:56You know, it is crazy to me that your summer job in high school was playing in the orchestra for
30:00a Broadway musical.
30:02And it makes my volunteering at the animal shelter look a little thick.
30:06No, I'm saying that's not true at all.
30:09Giving those scared animals the love and comfort that they needed.
30:14You've made the world a better place for a while.
30:17That's right.
30:19You know, except for the whole summer, more than once, my entire family came and filled up the whole orchestra
30:26section.
30:28Are you nervous?
30:30Well, I can accelerate this.
30:33I get this huge rush of adrenaline.
30:36When the lights go down, the audience gets quiet.
30:39The conductor, he raises his baton.
30:41And just like that, you're off to the races on this train that just doesn't stop for the next two
30:45hours.
30:45It's amazing.
30:49You wish you were playing tonight?
30:53No.
30:55It's nothing to be getting to see the show with you today.
31:04Aladdin Company, this is your 15-minute call.
31:06The call is 15 minutes, 15 minutes to the top of the show, 15.
31:11I'll get to our seats.
31:12Shh.
31:15Shh.
31:18Shh.
31:19Shh.
31:19Shh.
31:19Shh.
31:19Shh.
31:20Shh.
31:21Shh.
31:35Don't give that Ethan character another thought.
31:38You are grieving a tremendous loss right now.
31:43I'm sure you're right.
31:44I've got far too much going on.
31:46To be distracted by Holly Sutton's spawn.
31:51Far more pleasant things than facts.
31:54I detest that man.
31:57And in addition to everything else, he has wormed his way into deception.
32:03So buy it back.
32:04It's not like you're lacking in funds.
32:07It's complicated.
32:07I can't do that.
32:09So let me take care of him.
32:11Oh, no.
32:12No, no.
32:12You're not going to do that.
32:13He's way out of your league.
32:14Oh, don't be so sure.
32:16I have learned a thing or two in my time away.
32:19There are plenty of ways to handle a man like that.
32:24Ethan, I loved your father very much.
32:29And one of the hardest things I ever had to do was grieve him.
32:36Please don't make me grieve you too.
32:40Don't do this.
32:43I made no promises.
32:46Your father never did either.
32:52I know you, Rick.
32:54You have sabotaged every relationship that you've ever had.
32:58Because nothing is ever good enough for you.
33:00Because you don't think you're good enough.
33:03And then you try and control everything.
33:05And you can't.
33:06And you can't control, Sonny.
33:08So don't try.
33:09Just stop.
33:12Just stop.
33:13Just let something be enough.
33:21I guess after all these years,
33:24you really do know me.
33:29Christina seems excited about her friend being back in town.
33:33Yeah.
33:34She and Ethan have a long, complicated past.
33:38But in the end, Ethan really came through for her.
33:41I know she was sad when he left town.
33:43And now he's back.
33:44Maybe things are turning around for the both of you.
33:47Well, from where I'm sitting, things are already pretty great.
33:50I agree.
33:51That's why I'm determined to get Charlotte to open up to me about her father.
33:55I'll give Brennan what he wants,
33:57and he'll give me whatever he has on Willow.
33:59Jacinda, Willow's my problem.
34:01Okay, it's on me to deal with her.
34:04You've spent some time with Jacinda when I was your brother.
34:08Are they concerned?
34:12Now you'd have to ask them.
34:14Molly and I were skeptical about Jacinda at first,
34:17part because of how they met and who Michael is.
34:20But I've gotten to know her, and she's a smart girl.
34:24She's funny, too.
34:26And she really, really cares about Michael.
34:31Well, the thing about Jacinda is what you see is what you get.
34:35Unlike Willow, who turned out to be a completely different person.
34:41I'll see what I can dig up on Drew.
34:44I have to ask you, though, why you want leverage against a man who can't move or speak and probably
34:49never will again.
34:51What I do or don't do with that information is my business, not yours.
35:05I'll tell you this shook you up a little bit.
35:08That didn't totally make sense.
35:10It does?
35:11Yeah.
35:11Of course.
35:12But, you know, Drew trying to communicate with us is a good thing, especially given his prognosis.
35:18And trust me, I'm a little overwhelmed with what's happening, and I work with patients with similar issues.
35:26Overwhelmed is one word for it.
35:29I think it's time to explore alternate methods of communication.
35:33Like what?
35:35There are eye-tracking devices and letter boards.
35:39I just really think, given the right tools, Drew will be communicating with us a lot sooner than we all
35:45thought.
35:47But Willow will be so excited to hear about that.
35:57On the next General Hospital.
35:59Poor Charles isn't going to know what hit it.
36:01Why are you suddenly protecting him?
36:03You have the advantage.
36:04Why are you not using it?
36:05Feeling guilty is going to be the least of his problems.
36:08There is a connection, but I'm not seeing it.
