00:01The show was amazing, okay?
00:03The singing and the choreography and the special effects.
00:05And, come on, you, you were amazing.
00:07Oh, stop. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.
00:10I loved it, okay? I loved every single thing about it.
00:13And before I forget, I also love the wardrobe and the sets and...
00:16Oh, my God.
00:18We have the best designers and crew in the business.
00:21You know, the last set is up for probably a few more minutes
00:25if you want to take a closer look.
00:27Could I? Of course.
00:28Don't touch anything or they'll put you in throwaway jail.
00:31Noted. I'll be right back.
00:36Well, she's a keeper.
00:37I know. Got lucky.
00:39I'm so happy that Port Charles has been so good to you.
00:43Now, wait, how's the music scene there?
00:45Oh, it's very happening.
00:46My friend Trina's dad owns a club, the Savoy.
00:49They bring really great shows. I know they love to have you perform there.
00:52I've heard of the Savoy. I know the Savoy.
00:54And, you know, I love to perform.
00:56Obviously.
00:58Hey, y'all, I'll set up the gig with Trina's father.
01:00He'll contact your people.
01:01Port Charles isn't gonna know what. Hit it.
01:04Come on. Let's go.
01:05That's what I'm talking about, man.
01:06They're gonna love you.
01:07I am delighted that our schedules aligned and we were able to meet for dinner.
01:11Yeah, me too.
01:13Uh, but just for the sake of clarity, um, we are both too young to make the early bird special
01:23a regular date, right?
01:24Please?
01:25Today's meal time is purely a function of timing.
01:28Oh, thank you.
01:29Thank you so much.
01:32Um, you know what? There's something I have to take care of. I'll be right back, okay?
01:36First one. Yeah.
01:42Ah, Mayor Collins. Pleasure to see you as always. Here to save me for myself yet again.
01:51Well, that depends. Do you need saving?
02:01I need to ask you some questions.
02:03Oh, in that case, definitely come by anytime you want to unannounced.
02:06I already do, but you're sweet to say it out loud.
02:09Does your mother know you're here?
02:10The quid pro quo of my mother risking everything to protect you is I get to show up here and
02:18get all the information out of you that I want.
02:20Oh, so you're a glass half full person.
02:23Which is why I'm so sure you're going to tell me everything I want to know about Anna Devane and
02:28Cesar Faison.
02:30How was your trip?
02:32It was fine, but I barely had a chance to unpack before you texted and insisted I meet you here
02:37immediately.
02:38Well, I really appreciate you coming.
02:41So let's get to it. I have a small window before jet lag takes me.
02:45What's the trouble? Is it James?
02:47Oh, no, no. James is great. He's taken up karate and he's mildly obsessed with it.
02:52God help the sensei.
02:55If not James, then...
02:56It's Anna.
02:58I'm assuming her progress has been minimal?
03:00I heard from Robin.
03:02And not only is Anna not making progress, she's getting worse.
03:19Finally, what took you so long?
03:21I don't know.
03:23My job.
03:24What kind of case? That and you texting me every hour.
03:26This is important.
03:27I'm sure it is. With you, it usually is.
03:30Because you realize I don't answer to you, right?
03:32I don't care if Sidwell hurt your feelings or Pascal didn't make your tea the way you like it
03:37or you don't feel like working on the prototype.
03:39You can't come crying to me.
03:41What?
03:42I know Rocco's shot column.
03:58Nothing to see here, I promise.
04:02Another Shirley Toppo Keltzman?
04:04Uh, with extra cherries. And please take it easy on the grenadine this time. Thank you.
04:38Surprise.
04:38If I have to, I will.
04:40Promise.
04:42Good.
04:44Enjoy your drink.
04:54What was that all about?
04:55And why is Ezra drinking something that looks like Hello Kitty made it?
05:02Because he's drinking a Shirley Temple.
05:06I know, I know.
05:08It's just that he had a few too many the other day at the brown dog.
05:14And I almost got himself thrown out, as a matter of fact.
05:17Were there complaints filed? Were the police involved?
05:20Oh, sweetheart, I assure you, this is not a story.
05:22No.
05:23A city councilman is publicly intoxicated?
05:25Sounds like a story to me, a potentially important one.
05:28Or perhaps it's just a man who made one bad choice after another, you know?
05:33And no one was hurt, except, of course, for him.
05:36And I think that maybe the hangover was a punishment enough.
05:41I don't get it, Mom.
05:42That guy has been nothing but a huge thorn in your side.
05:47Why are you suddenly protecting him?
05:50The doctors at the clinic were confident that rest and distance from her regular life would free Anna of her
05:58delusions.
05:59But unfortunately, that course of treatment seems to be having the opposite effects.
06:04Meaning she still convinced that Cesare's alive and is holding her captive?
06:09Yes.
06:09Her paranoia has gotten worse.
06:12She now thinks that her doctors are working for Faison and doing his bidding.
06:18She keeps trying to escape, and she's almost succeeded more than once.
06:23If they'd be well advised to double the guard, Anna will try again.
06:27And given her training and experience, someone may end up getting hurt.
06:31Well, that's why I wanted to meet you here.
06:36I was hoping that you could help me prevent that from happening.
06:41I'm sorry for Anna's troubles, but what can I possibly do?
06:44I've already told you everything I know about Cesare.
06:47Um, one of Anna's delusions is that you are part of Faison's scheme.
06:54She believes that he brought you in to give her a phlebotomy treatment and that you are still loyal to
07:02him.
07:05So, I was hoping that you and I could go to France and you could explain to her face to
07:13face that you are not Faison's co-conspirator and that it's all in her mind.
07:20That I cannot do.
07:23Any word on Anna?
07:25As far as I know, she's still in the hospital in France.
07:29No change in her condition.
07:32And there's still charges pending from her assault on that officer.
07:36What do you want to know about Anna and Faison?
07:41A little light reading?
07:43Just a little something I picked up after discovering Colum carrying it around the night of the storm at Windermere.
07:50And inside it there was an inscription that said,
07:52For my muse, see.
07:54He was also carrying around a box of cigarillos.
07:58Cigarillos?
07:59Faison smoked us.
08:01So, any idea on how and why Colum would be carrying around two items so closely associated with Faison?
08:09What are you talking about?
08:11Rocco didn't shoot Colum.
08:12Jason shot Colum.
08:13You're the one who told Dante that.
08:14As good as you are at lying, it's too late.
08:18Rocco told me everything.
08:22Well, that was a mistake.
08:24He wasn't supposed to tell anybody.
08:26He needed to tell someone.
08:28He's drowning in guilt.
08:29Well, if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, then feeling guilty is going to be the least of his problems.
08:34He's a kid.
08:35And he shot someone.
08:37Yes, he did it to save Jason's life.
08:39And probably mine.
08:40But now Jason is paying the price.
08:42It's a lot for him to handle.
08:43Stop it. You're not his therapist.
08:45Just worry about the work at Windermere.
08:47You let me worry about Rocco.
08:48What does that mean?
08:49That I will protect him.
08:50I'm already doing everything I can to make sure that nobody finds out what happened on the pier.
08:54Yeah, for now.
08:57But what happens when you need to score points with Colum?
09:01How do I know you're not just going to hand Rocco over on a silver platter?
09:05You really think that that's something that I would do to a 15-year-old?
09:09To Lulu's 15-year-old?
09:11Well, it's exactly what our father would do.
09:15When he had changed his forever so far...
09:21Let me know you and do it.
09:22He's really willing to at all these kids.
09:42I did not know you mind.
09:43He's an existing magic computer.
09:51Do you have a secret career as a Broadway dancer?
09:54Oh, yeah, only in my dreams.
09:58In this trip, it's been a dream.
10:03Only you made it real.
10:05I'd do anything for you.
10:16You know, I've been so worried about my grandma that I haven't really had time to think about anything else.
10:24And you took my mind off of that for a little while.
10:28I don't know how I'm ever going to thank you for such a magical night.
10:31You'll think of something.
10:53Closed Captioning is brought to you in part by Rogers, Canada's best and most reliable 5G Plus network.
11:00Rogers, we got you.
11:04Man, there's like a million people waiting out there for you.
11:07Thank you again for the tickets and for the backstage tour.
11:11Emma, girl, I love meeting you.
11:13Hey, I'm going to get Curtis to book Michael at the Savoy.
11:16Oh, no, that's so fun.
11:18Yeah.
11:18We'll see you in Port Charles then.
11:19I can't wait.
11:24I know that you and Anna have a complicated history.
11:28But she deserves every chance to come out of this with her sanity intact.
11:33You misunderstand.
11:35It's not that I don't want to help Anna.
11:37It's that I'm not capable of it.
11:40If I go to France with you, my presence would only reinforce her delusions and cause her further harm.
11:47But you'd be with me.
11:49She'd believe you'd been co-opted by César's network.
11:53What?
11:53You say Anna claims that I'm working with the captors and that I gave her medical attention.
12:00In her mind, the only reason I would do that is because I'm still married to César.
12:07But you could find a way to prove to Anna that you're not, couldn't you?
12:12From what you've described, she believes I'm still working for a man who so disgusted me.
12:20I repudiated him years ago.
12:22How can I convince her of anything when she won't believe a word I say?
12:25Isn't it at least worth a try?
12:28Leisure.
12:29I realize I'm the latest try you're grasping in an attempt to save your friend, and I commend you for
12:34your effort.
12:35But if you were thinking more rationally, you'd see that Anna would interpret a visit from me as another one
12:41of César's manipulative tactics.
12:44I'm sorry, but I cannot save Anna.
12:50Why would Cullen be carrying a copy of this book with a pack of cigarillos?
12:56Cullen was the WSB Faison expert.
12:59Maybe he's using them as an opportunity to get back in the man's head.
13:02Okay, but what's the endgame?
13:05It's no secret that Anna was haunted by Faison's obsession with her.
13:13Cullen would have known that she was emotionally vulnerable when it came to him.
13:17Okay, so what?
13:19You think Cullen was using these items as props to help him set Anna up?
13:24Yes, but the timeline does not work because Cullen was in town when Anna was picked up in France.
13:31There is a connection, but I'm not seeing it.
13:35What the hell is it?
13:41Our father wouldn't see Rockwell as a person.
13:44He'd see him as leverage.
13:46They wouldn't hesitate to use Rockwell if it helped him achieve his desired outcome.
13:50I am not our father.
13:51Everything that I have done since I showed up on that pier has been about shielding Rockwell.
13:56I am the one that took him out of a crime scene and brought him back to Lulu.
13:59I am the one that made sure both of them knew in no uncertain terms that no one was to
14:04know that he picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.
14:07Isn't that exactly what you'd do if you wanted to use Rockwell if you wanted to use Rockwell for leverage
14:12yourself?
14:13Get him to trust you.
14:15Act like you're helping him keep a secret until the time comes when you can use that information to your
14:20own advantage.
14:20Look, I get that I don't hold a candle to St. Nathan, right?
14:25But do you really believe that I want Colum to know that Rocko shot him?
14:30Because then Colum knows that Rocko knows that he's a double agent and he will kill Rocko just like he
14:37killed Marco.
14:38I don't need your gratitude for what happened on the pier or for saving your life, but you need to
14:44get something in your head.
14:45I will protect Rocko.
14:47Nothing bad will happen to him, and that is a promise.
14:52Can you get it together, please?
14:54What if somebody was downstairs and had heard you?
14:57If Colum has driven Anna insane by playing on her worst fear, I will not stop until I have destroyed
15:04him.
15:04I will put him in a padded room, screaming at an audience of no one.
15:08Hey, hey, can we press pause on your revenge plan really quick?
15:12Because it doesn't matter why you want to bring Colum down.
15:15All I care about is that you get it done.
15:17And in order for you to do that, you need to get a grip.
15:20Okay?
15:22So can we start by remembering nobody can know you're here?
15:26What else do you want from me?
15:28I want information.
15:30And not just on Colum, on everybody he's working with.
15:33So Sidwell broke Marco before he was killed?
15:37What about Nathan West?
15:39Is there any possibility that he's involved in this?
15:45Okay, let's say I believe you're going to protect Rocko.
15:50My next question is how are we going to make sure he stays safe?
15:54Or we.
15:55We are not going to do anything.
15:57I will handle this.
15:58You are not keeping me out of this.
15:59No, you're going to keep yourself out of this because the best thing you can do for the kid
16:02is to make sure that Sidwell and Colum are happy.
16:06I'm already doing that.
16:07I'm working every chance I get.
16:09I just spent the whole night in the lab at Windermere.
16:12And as far as Rocko goes, you are going to need my help.
16:15What am I going to need you for?
16:16Because I found Rocko in Colum's hospital room.
16:20When?
16:20What was he doing in Colum's hospital room?
16:22His community service.
16:23He didn't realize it was Colum's room when he was sent in there.
16:26By the time I walked in, they were already talking.
16:28About what?
16:29Nothing.
16:30But I got Rocko out before Colum could suspect anything.
16:33But if I hadn't shown up, who knows what would have come up.
16:35So you just, you find Rocko in Colum's hospital room and you just yank him out of there and
16:41you don't think that Colum is going to find that the least bit strange?
16:44I'm not going to leave Rocko to fend for himself.
16:47Rocko knows he's not supposed to tell anybody what he did.
16:49So why did he tell me?
16:50I don't know.
16:51Well, I do.
16:52Because Rocko is scared and traumatized and feels guilty.
16:55He told me because he needs my help.
16:57He doesn't need your help.
16:58He needs his mother.
17:00And that ain't you.
17:06Maybe a better place to start is how did you even know about Ezra's bender at the brown
17:11dog?
17:12Oh, Dante.
17:13He stopped by my office to let me know that he was at the brown dog while on his way
17:18to making a spectacle of himself.
17:20Dante did.
17:21Why?
17:21Because he knows how many times Ezra has exploited me.
17:25He thought maybe I would want to use Ezra's bad night out to my own advantage somehow.
17:31But instead of giving as good as you got, you went to the brown dog to help the city's
17:37most obnoxious councilman.
17:38Okay, well, I'm not the type of politician to tear down my political opponents.
17:47Besides, much to my surprise, I found myself feeling kind of badly for him.
17:52Mom, that has got to stop.
17:58Your compassion has been a constant my entire life.
18:02And I have been its beneficiary in a million different ways.
18:06But Ezra Boyle is a public servant.
18:09And I could argue that the people of Port Charles deserve to know that a member of their town
18:14council is going off the rails.
18:16I know you could.
18:18You don't even have to get involved.
18:19I could follow up with a bartender and I could get the story out that way.
18:24Yes, I know you can, but I really hope that you won't.
18:28Uh, pardon the interruption.
18:30But, uh, if you allow me, I would love to pick up your tab as a small token of my
18:36thanks.
18:36That's not necessary, councilman.
18:39Your mother did me a kindness.
18:42That's one way of putting it, I guess.
18:46Keeping you off the hook for public intoxication is another.
18:53I was thinking about writing the story myself to highlight my mother's good deed, of course.
19:00But my mother convinced me that there wasn't a story there.
19:05So I'm going to let it go.
19:07Just another reason you should be grateful to her.
19:11I see.
19:14Ah, well, Mayor Collins, I do my best to lead by example, but when will you learn?
19:24You have me right where you want me.
19:27You have the advantage.
19:29Why are you not using it?
19:32Who says I'm not?
19:42Oh, man.
19:44So, my publicist, also Michael, got you a reservation at my favorite actor theater spot.
19:51He'll meet y'all out in the front, and I will see you at the Savoy.
19:55Yeah.
19:55Thanks again, man.
19:56Mike, you're the best.
19:57You're the best.
19:58Seriously, it's a special night I'm never going to forget.
20:02He better not.
20:03Okay.
20:05Okay.
20:09Dinner or what?
20:21So, you do have something up your sleeve.
20:24Care to share?
20:25Just following your example.
20:27And you are the one who told me that politics was all about trading favors.
20:32I'm surprised you'd be willing to take a page from the old Ezra Boyle playbook.
20:36I'm happy to learn from anyone.
20:38Even you.
20:40And how will I be repaying you for this favor, Madam Mayor?
20:44You are going to give me 100% of your support when I announce my next initiative, Universal Pre-K
20:53for Port Charles.
20:55And if I don't support you?
20:56Ooh, I may suddenly feel the urge to do a deep dive into your patronage at the Brown Dog Bar
21:03and your habit of spending time with escorts.
21:08No need.
21:10Just tell me when and where, and I will be there, nodding and smiling.
21:14I can even match my tie to whatever outfit you plan on wearing that day.
21:18No, don't do that.
21:20Ever.
21:22You know, um, it's not really a favor.
21:25Because your initiatives are always so sensible and popular with the voters.
21:30I support you.
21:32I come out smelling like a rose.
21:34Win-win.
21:36Have a fun evening, ladies.
21:44Well played, Mom.
21:46Right back at you, daughter.
21:48Nathan's an Eagle Scout who has all his badges.
21:51Nathan's an Eagle Scout who's been missing for seven years.
21:54And then all of a sudden he turns up out of the blue, unable to remember anything that happened to
21:59him.
21:59Yet somehow manages to pick up his life right where he left off.
22:04You think maybe I'd help making that happen?
22:06Well, it's not an impossible leap, right?
22:08Look at Britt.
22:10We know what happened to her and that Faison's people were behind it.
22:14Why shouldn't Faison be behind Nathan's disappearance?
22:17More likely than not.
22:18So you agree that Nathan's hiding something?
22:20Not necessarily.
22:21It could be that he has no memory of what happened to him.
22:24I mean, there are ways to manipulate the human mind.
22:27I would imagine Faison's disciples know some, if not all of them.
22:30So either an innocent man has been returned to live his life,
22:33which would make Nathan the one exception to the all Faisons are criminals rule,
22:38or Nathan is just as dangerous as the rest of them.
22:41And you should leave him alone.
22:46It's tragic what's happened to Anna.
22:48Such a strong, vital woman incapacitated because of a delusion.
22:53But I understand how it could have taken hold.
22:57If anyone could return from the dead, it would be César.
23:02Do you know something?
23:05I know that my children have come back to me.
23:08And it gives me pause that Anna, the object of César's obsession,
23:16is the one insisting she has seen him.
23:19Is there any chance that Anna's assertions are grounded in fact
23:24and that he is somehow alive?
23:27I can see how you'd want that to be true,
23:29because it would mean that your friend is sane.
23:33However, for the sake of my children,
23:38I mean that Anna is wrong
23:42and that César is long dead.
23:46Colm knows that you care about him,
23:48which means he can use that against you.
23:51So, I don't know, maybe try not making things worse for the kid?
23:55Rocco opened up to me.
23:57It's obvious he needs someone to talk to,
23:59someone he can trust,
24:00and I promised him that I would fix this.
24:02He doesn't need you to do that.
24:05He has Lulu.
24:06He has me.
24:07Together, she and I will get him through this.
24:09Oh, my God.
24:11How dense are you?
24:12There is no you and Lulu.
24:14There can't be.
24:18Oh!
24:23I may have eaten too much.
24:25I definitely did,
24:26and I blame Michael James Scott.
24:29Why?
24:30He's the one who made that reservation.
24:32Well, everything on the menu was incredible.
24:34It's not like we could stop eating.
24:36We're not robots.
24:38Merely humans.
24:40As soon as I get up the energy,
24:42I'm going to call him,
24:45and I'm going to thank him.
24:46That was incredible.
24:50I thought you said you were stuffed.
24:52That's our dessert.
24:54Hey, I wasn't judging.
24:56Good.
24:58You going to share?
25:01Yeah, for sure.
25:05You know,
25:06if we're not planning to annihilate ourselves
25:08at every meal,
25:11maybe next time we're in the city,
25:12we should eat at the bus station.
25:14Uh, first of all,
25:16ugh.
25:17Second of all,
25:18there's going to be a next time?
25:20Yeah, I mean, I hope so.
25:22I mean, I don't know
25:23if I could top this adventure, but...
25:25Joe, you don't have to top anything.
25:27You are the adventure.
25:30I don't know about that.
25:32Oh, I do.
25:34When I'm with you,
25:35I see the world with new eyes.
25:37Well,
25:38New Year's, but...
25:40What do you mean?
25:41You see the world through new years.
25:44Music and sound,
25:46that's a part of your soul.
25:48Walking down the street,
25:50you know,
25:50when you hear the garbage trucks
25:52and the subway.
25:54I can see you taking that in.
25:57Trust me,
25:58it's not the way that I do.
26:01Yeah.
26:02The subway,
26:03it's like a...
26:04It's like a tiny orchestra.
26:08Right.
26:11It really is.
26:13Like the...
26:14The subway rumble.
26:15So...
26:16It's like the bass.
26:18And the subway horn,
26:21it's like a French horn.
26:22Obviously.
26:23Naturally.
26:24And the subway brakes.
26:26The...
26:27It's a piccolo.
26:29Or maybe like a...
26:30Like an E-flat clarinet.
26:31What about the people?
26:33Yeah,
26:34the throne.
26:36It's like...
26:37It's like muted violin strings.
26:42And it may be a bassoon.
26:46It's a cymbal roll for sure.
26:49Kitchen at Bobby's?
26:51Oh.
26:53Oh, man.
26:54That's like the whole percussion section,
26:56including the triangle.
26:58Ding, ding.
26:59And, uh,
27:01you opening the dessert bag.
27:09It doesn't matter
27:10where we go
27:12or what we do.
27:14You...
27:16You are my whole new world.
27:23How is Rocco's hand?
27:26It's healing.
27:26Not as fast as he or anyone would like,
27:29but it's getting there.
27:31Well, I guess you can't really call yourself a cook
27:33unless you've got a scar or two
27:34to show for your time spent in the kitchen, right?
27:37Rocco's more of a microwaver,
27:39an occasional vegetable slicer.
27:42Retired.
27:42No.
27:43Oh, he'll be back.
27:44I hope so.
27:47Why do you think he won't be?
27:49It's not just his hand.
27:53Rocco's been distant.
27:56Lately, I know that he's upset
27:59about
28:01Danny's situation
28:02and what happened to Jason.
28:04Yeah, well, he's not the only one.
28:06And Rocco feels things so deeply,
28:09especially about
28:10people who he really cares about,
28:12like Danny.
28:13And it is a really wonderful quality,
28:15but in this case,
28:16it's just taking its toll.
28:18Well, it's an awful situation.
28:20At least both boys can lean on family.
28:24And I'm trying to be patient
28:25and just give him some time.
28:29And I am trying my best
28:31not to hover.
28:34Trying.
28:35It turns out that
28:36hovering is my default setting.
28:39No.
28:39One of the hardest things
28:41to do as a mother
28:41is to know when to take a step back
28:45and then to actually do it.
28:47I know.
28:48And I don't think
28:49I could do it at all
28:50if...
28:52if it weren't for Nathan.
28:57To do as a mother
28:58is to know when to take a step back
29:02and then to actually do it.
29:04I know.
29:05And I don't think
29:06I could do it at all
29:08if...
29:10if it weren't for Nathan.
29:14You know it's not right.
29:16Lulu thinks she's sleeping
29:17with courageous,
29:19honest, loyal Nathan West
29:21and not...
29:21Yeah, I know, I know.
29:22Not treacherous, lying Cassius.
29:24Well, yeah.
29:26Look,
29:27most of the time
29:28I'm not in a position
29:29to judge.
29:30But I'm not in a relationship
29:33pretending to be someone else.
29:35You need to put distance
29:36between you and Lulu.
29:38What about James?
29:40Where am I supposed
29:41to distance myself from him
29:43because I'm not his real dad?
29:45In a perfect world, yes.
29:47But it's too late with James.
29:49You're already in his life
29:50as his father.
29:51You made that little boy love you.
29:53If you were to pull away from him now,
29:55it would break his heart.
29:57But Lulu is an adult.
29:58adult, most of the time.
30:01You can still back away.
30:03Say you...
30:04Say you decided
30:06you couldn't betray Maxie
30:07or mess up your friendship
30:09with Dante,
30:09who is also your boss.
30:11Take your pick.
30:12Lulu will survive.
30:14But you need to do it now
30:15before she really falls for you.
30:19Do it for Rocco's sake.
30:23Your concern is touching,
30:25but I don't answer to you.
30:26Are you answering
30:27to anyone right now?
30:32Listen, I recognize
30:33your professional competence,
30:35Agent Jacks.
30:36I do.
30:36I'm not arguing with you
30:38right now as a colleague.
30:39I'm arguing as a friend
30:40of your mother's.
30:41I've seen it firsthand.
30:42She's agonizing over you.
30:45Every minute of every day.
30:48Doesn't every parent
30:49feel that way?
30:50Yes, I suppose that's true,
30:51but this is an extreme circumstance.
30:55you're in a lot of trouble.
30:56I don't think you should
30:57go looking for more.
31:07Hello.
31:10That's right.
31:12Great, thank you.
31:14I gotta go.
31:16Will you please tell me
31:17that you heard me?
31:19I heard you.
31:21But it doesn't mean
31:22I'm gonna listen.
31:29Dr. Obrecht?
31:31Hi, Dr. Obrecht.
31:34I'm so happy to see you.
31:36Do you have a minute to chat?
31:37I'm afraid I was just leaving.
31:38I've recently returned
31:40to Port Charles
31:40after a very long journey
31:41and I'm ready to go home.
31:43Oh, well, this will only
31:44take a minute.
31:45Perhaps we can catch up
31:46some other time.
31:46Last time we spoke,
31:48you thought it was possible
31:50that someone was impersonating
31:51your ex-husband?
31:52Do you still believe that?
31:54Why do you ask?
31:56Because I think you're right.
31:59Do you think that someone
32:00could be your son?
32:19It sounds like things
32:21are going well
32:21with you and Nathan.
32:24They are as tough
32:26as things have been
32:28with Rocco.
32:29Nathan's been a consistent
32:31bright spot.
32:32Good.
32:33So you feel supported by him?
32:35Completely.
32:36Good.
32:36It's really easy
32:37to lean on him.
32:39Well, that's a relief
32:40because you had misgivings
32:42about getting involved
32:43with him initially.
32:44I did.
32:46And I think part of the reason
32:47I was able to get over them
32:51is because I know exactly
32:53who Nathan is
32:55and he's always honest with me.
33:00I think he might be
33:03the best thing
33:03that's happened to me
33:04in a really long time.
33:07Oh, sweetheart.
33:10When Lulu finds out
33:11who you really are,
33:13it is going to break her.
33:14Maybe she will put herself
33:16back together again,
33:17maybe not.
33:18But either way,
33:18Rocco's going to suffer.
33:20I hear you, Britt, okay?
33:22But that's not going to happen.
33:25Because I'm in love
33:26with Lulu.
33:28That was fast?
33:30Yeah.
33:31And I'm going to keep
33:32being Nathan
33:32for as long as it takes
33:33to hold on to her.
33:35And then what?
33:38What's your long-term plan?
33:42That's what I thought.
33:43One way or another,
33:45the truth will come out.
33:46It always does.
33:48So if you really love Lulu,
33:51you need to end it.
33:53Now.
34:08Probably not the best idea.
34:10Yeah.
34:11Your friend's already
34:12doing us a big favor
34:13by letting us stay here.
34:16Yeah.
34:17Yeah, we should probably
34:18leave his couch.
34:20Mm-hmm.
34:20Alone.
34:21Yeah.
34:22And you know what they say?
34:23Friends don't canoodle
34:24on other friends' couches.
34:26Mm-hmm.
34:27Mm-hmm.
34:29But hey, hey,
34:30you did buy him
34:31some really nice olive oil, though.
34:33Yeah.
34:34Yeah, I mean,
34:34it's the least I could do
34:35to thank him
34:36for letting us stay here.
34:38And you bought Olivia
34:40some because...
34:41Because I love her.
34:43And I want to make her happy.
34:44And cooking makes her happy.
34:46Right.
34:47And I thought she could use it
34:48when she cooks.
34:49And maybe if she cooked
34:50something with it,
34:51she might let you try it?
34:53I was planning to cut you
34:54in on whatever she made.
34:55Oh, well,
34:56then it's the perfect gift.
34:59Tell me the truth.
35:01No regrets about
35:02not seeing your family
35:03on this trip.
35:05No.
35:07No, we'll see them
35:08next time.
35:09And that will be
35:10an adventure.
35:12Well, I'll start preparing now.
35:14And it was great
35:15meeting Michael.
35:17He's a great friend.
35:19I've missed him a lot.
35:23And you really don't
35:24miss out on all the glamour
35:26and excitement
35:26of the theater
35:27when you saw him?
35:28I got all the excitement
35:29I can handle
35:30right here.
35:36What is it?
35:38No, you have glitter
35:39on you from hugging
35:39Michael right here.
35:41I do?
35:44No.
35:46No, my bad.
35:48I thought you did.
35:49It's just...
35:52You.
35:55You just...
35:57sparkle.
35:58I don't know.
