00:01Are you appalled?
00:02I would be.
00:04I can't even believe I would do something like that myself.
00:08I'm sorry.
00:10What?
00:11I just wish that I could have been here.
00:13I'd have helped you or just stopped you before I got that far.
00:17Michael, I'm a grown woman.
00:18Okay, I have to take responsibility.
00:20I take full responsibility, all of it.
00:22I'm just lucky that I...
00:25I didn't kill someone.
00:27But now Rick and Ava have all this power over my mom.
00:31Because Alexis would do anything to keep you from going to prison?
00:33Yes.
00:34Yeah, for my kids, I'd probably do the same.
00:37I just put my mom through so much, you know?
00:40And now she's compromising her ethics,
00:43and essentially she's stealing from the cast that I entrust
00:48so that I don't go to prison.
00:49Meanwhile, she's risking it for herself.
00:51Okay, let's just backtrack a little bit for me right now.
00:54Now that what does Cody have to do with any of this?
00:58I am trying to get Ava and Rick to turn on each other.
01:01It shouldn't be that hard.
01:02Neither of them can be trusted.
01:04So you're trying to make them distrust each other to drive them apart?
01:07Everyone knows Rick still has a thing for Elizabeth.
01:10So if Cody starts flirting with Ava,
01:13then maybe she'll realize that she can do better than Rick.
01:16But Cody's interested in Molly.
01:19Well, duh.
01:19I mean, Molly's amazing.
01:21What surprises me is that Molly is interested in Cody.
01:26Basically, I implied heavily that Cody is only interested in what he can get from women,
01:32often using them for their money.
01:35Without telling Molly you're actually the one using Cody.
01:38Oh, and I told Molly she doesn't really know who Cody is.
01:45And it hasn't escaped me that Molly doesn't really know who I am either.
01:51But for the record, I really don't think Molly and Cody would be a good match.
01:56Even though your motives are mostly selfish?
01:59What am I supposed to do, Michael?
02:01Just let Ava and Rick continue to blackmail my mom until it gets worse?
02:07I mean, it's not a terrible plan.
02:10I'm just proud of myself that I actually thought this one through.
02:14I don't like that I'm keeping things from my sister,
02:17especially now that we've gotten back to being us again, but...
02:21I guess she'll just have to add it to the list of things she can never know about.
02:25That and the fact that Cody was convinced to take this job
02:28because I told him he would be doing Molly a favor.
02:31So Molly doesn't like the idea of her dad being with Ava?
02:34No, not even a little.
02:37But am I deluding myself and thinking that this is for the greater good?
02:43I don't know about that, but I do know that you've dug yourself a pretty big hole here.
02:48You think?
02:50But I promise I'll get you out of it, okay?
02:59Thank you for saying we.
03:01I feel so much better that I told you the truth.
03:04I've been wanting to for a long time.
03:05It's been weighing on me.
03:07You're my sister, Christina.
03:10I'll always have you back no matter what.
03:12There's one more thing.
03:13That there's more?
03:15We just, we can never let my mom know that you know about the blackmail.
03:20She will freak.
03:21Okay.
03:21Okay, got it.
03:22I don't know.
