00:00Here's your schedule and we can go over it whenever you'd like.
00:03Uh, if you have time now, that'd be great.
00:04Yeah, now's fine.
00:06Oh, um, before we start, were you able to get a hold of Michael?
00:08I left work.
00:09Great, thank you.
00:10And I need you to reschedule my meeting with the administration of children and families.
00:14Are you sure you want to put it off?
00:16I thought securing more funding for child care was your top priority.
00:18Oh, it still is.
00:19I just need to take a more active role on the international law enforcement
00:24appropriations committee and time is an issue.
00:26And with respect to that, I need you to do some research for me.
00:29Sure, what do you need?
00:31I need you to find out who on the committee supports funding for the WSB and who doesn't.
00:36Does this have something to do with your meeting with Chief Brandon yesterday?
00:40So, Mom, how's pregnancy going? Are you feeling okay?
00:44Well, I don't know where my center of gravity is, but I know it's not where it used to be.
00:51Besides feeling ginormous, I'm fine.
00:54Well, if you ask me, you look beautiful.
00:57Well, that's a very nice thing for you to say. Thank you.
01:01And can you believe I still have two months left?
01:03I know. I know.
01:06I mean, we still have so much to do before the baby actually arrives.
01:10Mmm, don't remind me.
01:12We have not even started putting together the nursery for the baby.
01:16We've done nothing.
01:18Well, actually, some of the stuff that I order online are coming in today, so we can get started.
01:27But...
01:28But what?
01:30I don't know. It just...
01:32It doesn't feel right having fun working on our family project when Jordan's going through hell.
01:46Oh, Justine. This is lovely.
01:50And it's so soft.
01:51Well, I thought you could use something warm and cozy to where it gets really cold in here,
01:56and you do not have an ounce of body film.
01:59And it has a deep hood.
02:01I can use it when I go out in public and go incognito.
02:07And could you have Commissioner Falconeri call me back as soon as possible?
02:11I'd like to request a copy of the paint analysis they did on the guardrail.
02:16All right. Thank you.
02:19Hey, I brought you a copy of the report from today's meeting regarding Aurora's negotiations.
02:23I appreciate it.
02:25Thank you for covering for me.
02:26No, of course, man. You got a lot on your plate right now.
02:28Is that about Jordan's accident?
02:31Yeah, the police have new information on the car that fled the scene.
02:36Were they able to ID the other driver?
02:38Not yet.
02:39But from what they found, there's a good chance it's Isaiah Gannon.
02:46Lucas, thanks for coming in early to cover for me.
02:48Oh, not a problem. Is everything all right?
02:51Rough morning.
02:52I took a tight turn in the parking garage, and I scratched up the entire passenger side of my SUV.
02:58Oh, that sounds expensive.
03:00And it always hurts more when it's your own fault, right?
03:03Big time. And that little mistake is going to cost me big time.
03:08Phoebe, I am so proud of you for sleeping through the night.
03:1211 to 4 a.m. is considered the whole night?
03:15Oh, don't listen to him. You are doing great.
03:17The whole five hours.
03:19And then six months from now, you'll be sleeping a full night.
03:21And then maybe Chase won't be so grumpy.
03:41What makes you think Dr. Gannon was the other driver?
03:44I'll admit, I don't have a lot to go on.
03:49I didn't get a good look at the other car.
03:51But it may have scraped a nearby guard rail, and as it turns out, the paint is from a black
03:56German vehicle, and Isaiah drives a black SUV.
04:00Curtis, I'm sure there's plenty of other German-made vehicles in the area with black paint.
04:04Right, right.
04:05But Isaiah made a point of visiting Jordan in her hospital room.
04:08Even when she made it clear that he was making her uncomfortable, he wouldn't leave until I showed up and
04:13made him leave.
04:13It was like, it was like he was feeling guilty about something.
04:19It still seems like a big leap to me.
04:23Well, it's just a theory, but it's the only lead I have.
04:28And I believe it's worth pursuing.
04:30I keep kicking myself because it was such an easily avoidable mistake.
04:35I mean, I should have been paying more attention.
04:37I shouldn't have been in such a rush.
04:39Now that little mistake is going to cost me at least a thousand dollars to fix.
04:43I'm sorry, man. That is such a bummer.
04:45It is.
04:46You know what?
04:48I'm done complaining, and I have patients to deal with who have much bigger problems than a scratch truck SUV.
05:01I'm sorry about that little joke I made earlier.
05:06I wanted to sound like I was doing okay with all of this, but
05:12I'm just not there yet, obviously.
05:15That's completely understandable, Jordan.
05:18You've been in a terrible accident. You're still dealing with your injuries.
05:22I know, but I came across so self-pitying.
05:27I don't want to be like that.
05:29You don't have to apologize. And if you want to put a front with me, we're friends.
05:36Look, in my job, a lot of people have unloaded on me, and I haven't been phased once.
05:40So you, someone who I care about, I want the truth from you.
05:46Always.
05:47No matter what it is.
05:50And I appreciate that.
05:52It's just that this is my face.
05:58And it's becoming increasingly clear that it may never be the same.
06:01No, it's still very early, and you have a lot of healing to do.
06:05I know.
06:06I'm just trying to be realistic.
06:09I don't like to consider myself vain, but I took pride in my appearance.
06:16And it's hard to see the person I was when I look in a mirror.
06:22And I don't know if I can handle that.
06:25I just feel so torn.
06:27I know we have to do this for the baby, but it just seems so insensitive to move ahead
06:32decorating the nursery or doing anything that sends the message that life moves on.
06:37Understandable, honey, but it does.
06:41And this baby isn't going to put things on pause just because we do.
06:44I get that.
06:46But, I mean, Dad wants to help decorate the nursery.
06:49Are we really just going to start that without him?
06:51No, no, no, no.
06:52I'm going to let your dad know before we do anything.
06:54Trust me.
06:56I, um, I didn't tell him about a last-minute check-in that I had with Dr. Westborn.
07:02He wasn't happy about it.
07:04Well, why didn't you tell him?
07:05Well, it was a routine check-up.
07:07And I didn't want to bother him because I'm assuming that he's taking care of Jordan.
07:11Yeah, well, he did tell me that she's pretty shaken up about the injuries to her face.
07:17How bad is it?
07:20All I can really tell you is in car accidents like that, there is a lot of shattered glass
07:27that can cause deep lacerations and then compounded by burns.
07:32That sounds awful.
07:35It is.
07:36That makes me feel even more guilty.
07:39For a long time, I was just so rude to Jordan and she always rose above it.
07:47I wish I could do more to support her right now.
07:52Kenny, it's not too late.
07:54There is always time to make up and acknowledge past mistakes.
07:59And try to do better.
08:02Chief Brennan and I agreed that we need to work together to protect the public.
08:07Is this about Jason Morgan?
08:08It was really awful the way the WSB basically kidnapped him.
08:11But what happened to him was a total miscarriage of justice.
08:14And I want to make sure the WSB doesn't destroy any more lives here in Port Charles.
08:19And I need to make sure that that doesn't happen again.
08:22I bet you're not alone there.
08:23I can't imagine I am.
08:25But in order to do that, I have to have more power and influence with the committee that funds the
08:29WSB.
08:35Well, I guess we're all up early this morning.
08:38Except that some of us won't get 30 or 40 naps later on today.
08:43Good morning.
08:44Morning, Tracy.
08:46I don't know about you, but I am desperate for caffeine.
08:49I guess maybe it's because I was awakened by a wailing baby from 10 rooms down the hall.
08:56Young lady, you have a very healthy set of lungs.
09:00Oh, sorry, Granny.
09:01I was just telling Chase that she should be on a better sleep schedule in about six months.
09:06What good will that do us? She could be back with her actual family by then.
09:12Uh, I should get changed and head to the station.
09:15Oh, I've, uh, been meaning to ask you, where's your car?
09:18Would you leave it at deception?
09:19Oh, you know what? I just want to get Phoebe settled right here.
09:22Actually, I put both our cars in to get detailed.
09:25There was a two-for-one deal.
09:28Huh. Wouldn't have thought you'd care to save a few bucks, Tracy.
09:32Who doesn't love a good bargain?
09:35Can't argue with that. I'll see you later. I love you.
09:38Yeah, I love you. Have a good day.
09:44You have a very trusting husband. He's also a smart cop.
09:49And if you don't want him to know that you were involved in Jordan's accident,
09:53you better do a better job of covering.
09:57Hey, Lucas. Do you have a minute?
10:00Yeah. My break just started. What's up?
10:04I just wanted to check in, see how you were doing.
10:08I haven't seen you since Marco's funeral.
10:10I'm, I'm, I'm hanging in there. Thank you for asking.
10:13Have the police...
10:15Have the police found who stabbed him and left him for dead? No.
10:17The police haven't found anything.
10:18Hey. I've been thinking a lot about Marco recently.
10:21Especially now that we've reopened Charlie's.
10:23I've been thinking about the fire that night and how he risked his life to save mine.
10:28I would be dead if it weren't for him.
10:32Marco was a hero.
10:36Yeah. He was.
10:39I'll get you a report on the ILE member's voting records by next week.
10:42That would be great. Thank you.
10:47Isaiah. It's so good to hear from you. It's been a while.
10:51Yeah. Too long and I'd love to change that whenever you have time.
10:55But at the moment, I was hoping I could get Kai Taylor's number from you.
11:00I know he's your intern and I, I would have asked Portia, but she's out with Trina and I
11:06would hate to interrupt mother-daughter time.
11:09Well, you're in luck because Kai is standing right here. Do you want me to put him on the phone?
11:13Yes, please.
11:15Thank you, Congresswoman.
11:16Of course. Hold on one second. It's Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
11:21Hello?
11:22Hey, Kai. I hope this isn't a bad time. I need your help with something important.
11:30Any chance you could swing by the hospital?
11:32No. I appreciate you trying to help me. And you are frighteningly smooth in the doing,
11:39but I still think that I should come forward and admit that I had a near collision with Jordan.
11:43I will just explain that I didn't realize that there had been an accident.
11:46You also didn't stop because of the glass of wine you drank.
11:49I plan to leave that part out.
11:51Oh, you might, but assume that Lucy Ko won't.
11:55She loves drama. And the opportunity to be in the middle of it will be too much for her to
12:01resist.
12:02Okay, but I wasn't drunk. I had one glass of wine.
12:05It doesn't matter, especially now that your car is being fixed. The police will assume you are covering
12:12up a crime even though you weren't responsible. Why does it feel like I am?
12:21I know I should just be thankful to be alive.
12:25God, you must think I'm so shallow.
12:27I would never think that. People are judged every day based on their appearance, especially women.
12:36When I go into a courtroom, I know that it is not just about my legal skills.
12:40I have to present a whole package to the jury to win their respect.
12:45And it's somewhat true for men too, but they don't have to worry about how much they smile,
12:52or if they come across as too caring or not caring enough.
12:55These are the extra burdens we women have to carry in order to succeed.
12:59That's exactly what I'm worried about. I am the public face of Jen Sidwell's company.
13:04How am I supposed to be his liaison to the world if my appearance is a distraction?
13:11Are you concerned he'll fire you?
13:14Maybe, but it also might be a relief. Once these bandages come off, people are going to stare.
13:21Or worse, they might flinch or look away.
13:24Okay, I don't know about any of that.
13:26But yes, it will be tough at first. But eventually, you'll learn how to deal with it.
13:34I believe in you, Jordan. Your strength and confidence, it's inspiring.
13:42I'm not sure how much I have of that anymore.
13:45These lacerations have already changed who I am and how I feel about myself.
13:51And I don't know how I feel about that.
13:56I haven't told anyone yet. Not even Jordan. So please keep this to yourself.
14:00No, of course. I won't say anything.
14:01I just don't want to make any accusations until I have proof. And even then, it could be dicey.
14:08Because Isaiah is dating Portia.
14:10We've worked really hard on making peace.
14:14And I don't want to blow all that up, especially with the baby on the way.
14:17But on the other hand, by leaving the scene of an accident, that other driver committed a crime
14:24and should be held accountable, even if it is Isaiah.
14:28Curtis, I understand wanting to give Jordan closure on what happened. I really do.
14:35But even if this person is prosecuted, it may not give you the resolution that you're hoping for.
14:44Still might mean something for Jordan.
14:47I have to know if my hunch is correct.
14:51What's done is done. Coming forward is not going to help Jordan,
14:56and it's only going to make things a lot worse for you.
14:58I hate keeping things from Chase.
15:00Can I just tell him the truth?
15:02Absolutely not. He'll be obligated to report it.
15:08Besides, secrets are part of a healthy marriage.
15:12Oh, come on, Granny. What do you know about healthy marriages?
15:15I read.
15:19Look, your husband has a self-righteous streak, and what if he decides that you were at fault
15:24and insists that you come forward, even if it means you end up in prison?
15:28Or worse, he tries to protect me and ends up feeling like he's compromising his principles.
15:34Exactly.
15:37Jordan nearly hit you when she drove her car into your lane.
15:44It's not your fault that you drove her car off the road.
15:47All you did was swerve to avoid her.
15:50By keeping silent about this, trust me, you are saving yourself and your husband a whole lot of heartache.
15:59What about the Ashburns? What about their heartache?
16:03I can't imagine what that family's going through.
16:12Portia, good morning.
16:14Um, I was on my way to see Jordan. Do you know if there's any new updates on her condition?
16:20I'm sorry, no. I've been keeping my distance. I don't think Jordan welcomes my presence.
16:29But I'm glad I ran into you. Um, I had breakfast with Trina and the subject of the nursery. It
16:35came up.
16:36Oh, right. We need to get started on putting that together.
16:40Ideally, yes. Um, but we all agreed that we would set up the nursery together.
16:45So we'll wait.
16:47Right now your focus should, should all be on Jordan.
16:51Yeah. Look, I don't want to hold you up. So you guys get started without me. Um,
16:55if I have time to help, you know I will.
16:59Okay. All right. I'll let Trina know.
17:04Oh, Portia. Thank you.
17:07It's just crazy how your whole life can just turn on a dime. You know, one minute Jordan and I
17:13were
17:14planning a nursery. Going to celebrate a night on the town. Just like that it changed in an instant.
17:22Yeah, I'm really sorry. Isaiah and I were shocked when Trina called us that night and told us what
17:28happened. Isaiah was with you that night? Well, we were up at his cabin.
17:33So you were out of town. Why do you ask? Well, it's just that, um, when we brought Jordan in
17:41that
17:41night to the hospital, I kept hoping that I would bump into one of you so you could keep me
17:45updated on
17:46Jordan's condition. We were already done working for the day. Or at least I was. What does that mean?
17:55Well, um, Isaiah had to come back into town. He had an emergency house call.
18:02It's comforting that I'm not the only one who saw Marco as a hero. That there's someone else who knows
18:07how brave and selfless he was. Well, that's kind of why I'm here. I want the whole world to know
18:13what
18:13a great guy Marco was. And I was thinking the best way to do that might be to honor him
18:18with a memorial.
18:20What kind of memorial? You've heard of the Corinthos Davis House, right? It's a charitable foundation
18:25I started for the queer community. Yeah, I've heard that you guys do a lot of great work. Well,
18:29I was thinking the foundation could do something to honor Marco. I would love to know more about him,
18:34though, to make it really personal. Do you think you could share some details about his life with me?
18:39I would love nothing more. Hey. Hey. Hi.
18:47I appreciate you coming on such short notice. Yeah, no problem. Your call made me curious.
18:52That's what I was hoping for. Listen, we have a young patient named Derek who's been in the hospital
18:57for several weeks now, and I think it's starting to weigh on him. Yeah, I know that feeling all too
19:01well.
19:02It was not fun being cooped up in here after my spinal injury. Now, how long is Derek supposed to
19:06stay?
19:07Oh, it could be a while. He's waiting on a liver transplant. Jeez. Poor kid. You know,
19:15I wish there was something I could do for him. There is. Now, Derek is a huge football fan.
19:22His dream is to play for PCU, and he wants to play quarterback for that.
19:27Very, too. Now, I'm hoping a visit from a PCU legend can brighten up his day.
19:35Do you have any time for him? I mean, I don't play anymore. You know,
19:38maybe he'd rather talk to one of my friends who's still on the team. I could call one of them.
19:41No, no, no. You're his favorite football player, okay? And frankly,
19:47I would love for him to talk to someone other than me about your stats and how much of a
19:51legend you are.
19:53I think you could pay him a visit. Listen, if you think he'll help you,
19:56I'll do whatever I can.
20:01Michael, hi. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.
20:07What's this about?
20:10I wanted to talk about what happened at Crimson the other night.
20:15Oh, you mean when you basically tried to take the kids away from me?
20:18I lost my temper and I said things I shouldn't have. Particularly about Jacinda. And for that,
20:27I apologize.
20:29Why a sudden change of heart?
20:33Once I calmed down, I realized we shouldn't be at each other's throats. It's not good for the kids.
20:39Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
20:42I accept your apology, although you should probably apologize to Jacinda directly.
20:49Is there anything else?
20:52Actually, yes. I have a favor to ask.
20:58Hi, Trina. What's going on?
21:00Uh, the delivery man dropped off a package at our apartment instead of the main house,
21:04and I figure I'd just save you the trip and, like, bring it to you.
21:06Oh, again? I, that man needs to give you part of his paycheck because he can't seem to do his
21:12job
21:12without your help. Thank you. That, it's very thoughtful of you.
21:16Yeah, no problem.
21:20All right, well, I probably should get going.
21:24Uh, Trina, wait, um, before you go, I wanted to ask you, how's Jordan doing?
21:28Heard about her accident.
21:30Yes, we've been thinking about her.
21:32Yeah, um, well, the doctors expect her to make a full recovery.
21:36Oh, thank goodness.
21:37Yeah, but, um, her face may be permanently scarred.
21:45You just survived a traumatic experience. Of course you're going to feel different.
21:51You need to give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally.
21:55Hmm. I am terrible at waiting. When there's a problem, I am used to taking action and fixing
22:01it, but this, I have no control over what happens or when.
22:08Yes, you do. In the sense that you can give yourself grace.
22:14And you can lean on the people that care about you. Like me. Like Curtis.
22:20Hmm?
22:21Well, Curtis and I just got back together. He didn't sign up for this.
22:27Now, I don't know Curtis very well, but he doesn't seem like someone who backs away when things get tough.
22:33So don't sell the man short. But more importantly, don't sell yourself short.
22:37Whether you end up with a scar or not, you are an amazing woman. And Curtis is lucky to have
22:44you.
22:49I appreciate you letting me be me.
22:56Anytime.
23:00Before he pursued a law career, Marco considered being a professional musician. Mainly it's because
23:07it's what Natalia wanted.
23:08Sounds familiar?
23:11Well, lucky for him, Natalia had Ali to fulfill all her dreams instead.
23:14And despite all the drama between Marco and Natalia, he was heartbroken when she died. He really loved his mom.
23:24What else did he love besides you?
23:28Oh, tennis.
23:29Tennis. And whenever we played, he was crazy competitive.
23:34Do you ever go full McEnroe and break a racket?
23:38No, but this one time, purely by chance, I actually beat him.
23:44And instead of congratulating me, we had to play another game so that he could even the score.
23:53We ended up missing our reservation at Cafe Cherie that night.
23:58Well, I'm sorry you missed your dinner reservation.
24:01But Marco's love for tennis is something I can actually work with.
24:05How so?
24:06Well, the person that runs the youth facility at the foundation has been pushing us to use the land to
24:12open a small athletic facility. Maybe we can put a couple of tennis courts there.
24:17What do you think about the Marco Rios Tennis Center?
24:22I think he would love that.
24:25Okay, well then it's settled. That's what we'll do. I will host a fundraiser at Charlie's and we'll
24:32have a night of singing to raise funds. I know you're, you're quite close with Marco's father.
24:37You don't think he's going to want to be involved, do you?
24:41I think it's okay for him to send this one out.
24:44Good. I was hoping you'd say that.
24:52Derek, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine.
24:55Kai Taylor? You played quarterback for PCU.
24:59Yes, I did. It's nice to meet you, Derek.
25:01I'm flattered you remember me. I haven't played in over a year.
25:04Passing efficiency 178, 69% completion ratio, and nine yards plus an attempt.
25:10Who's going to forget that?
25:12Okay. Well, believe it or not, Derek, a lot of people do, but I'm happy to meet you.
25:19Dr. Gannon says you want to be a QB too?
25:21I want to be just like you.
25:23Okay. Well, I'm sure there's some things you can teach me, so how about we trade tips?
25:27How does that sound?
25:28I would love that.
25:31What kind of favor are you looking for?
25:34I would like your permission to take Wiley and Amelia out of state to go to Disney World this summer.
25:41I'm surprised you even bothered to ask. That's a first.
25:45Michael, it was such poor judgment on my part to take Wiley to DC last year for Drew's swearing-in
25:52ceremony without asking you first.
25:55That is why I'm asking you now. I want to do things the right way.
26:00That's why you apologized for the other night, because you need me to sign off on your request, right?
26:04No. You deserved an apology. And mine was sincere.
26:12Well, the kids would love to go to Disney World, so...
26:17Yeah, you have my permission. Just keep me advised on the details, okay?
26:21I will. At some point, we should probably coordinate our schedules.
26:25I was thinking about taking the kids to Hawaii this summer.
26:28We can do that. I really appreciate the effort you're making to get along.
26:35I only wish we would have done this sooner.
26:41Am I interrupting?
26:51I can come back later unless it would be helpful if you want me to stay.
26:55It's fine. I was just leaving.
26:59Keep an eye out for the paperwork.
27:01Thank you, Michael.
27:03These are for you, Congresswoman.
27:05These are my favorite. I can't believe you remembered.
27:09Of course I did. I just wanted to thank you for helping me and Brooklyn get approved to Foster Phoebe.
27:15You don't need to thank me. I didn't really do anything. You and Brooklyn qualified on your own.
27:19Well, whether that's true or not, you put in a good word.
27:23And that meant the world to me. Thank you for being such a good friend.
27:28Lucas! Lucas! Do you have a minute?
27:31Uh, yeah. What's up?
27:32Well, didn't you once tell me that you went to med school with one of the top plastic surgeons in
27:37the country?
27:37Oh, uh, Dr. Shapiro. Yeah, he's based in LA.
27:41Okay, nice. Um, would you feel comfortable asking him to consult on, on Jordan's case?
27:46Well, I'd be happy to. But fair warning, Dr. Shapiro has patients flying in from all over the world.
27:50I hear he has a two-year wait list. Yeah, I was kind of worried about that. But if he's
27:56your friend, it's worth a shot, right?
28:00I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Oh, hey. We were just catching up.
28:04Here. Look at this amazing hoodie Justine got me. It's cute, right?
28:09Yeah. Cute. I hope you got a matching one for me.
28:13Unfortunately, they didn't have any in your size.
28:16Thank you again, Justine. This will be perfect for my yoga classes when I get out of here.
28:20You're very welcome, Jordan. And with that, I should get going. But I will come and see you again very
28:29soon.
28:30I'm looking forward to it. Bye.
28:35Well, it is nice to see you smiling again.
28:38Well, it was nice to see Justine.
28:41Well, don't forget the cute hoodie. Never.
28:45I talked to Dr. Caldwell. She thinks it'll be at least a month before we can start talking surgical options.
28:52Okay. Well, at least we have a timeline. It's something.
28:56Yeah. She said the burdens shouldn't be a problem long term.
29:02But we have to wait for them to heal before we can make any plans to address the lacerations.
29:10It would have been a lot simpler if we had gotten help sooner than out of the accident.
29:17That's definitely true.
29:19How bad are her injuries?
29:22Um, it's hard to say.
29:24Or Jordan.
29:27Yeah, uh, yes. Um, my heart goes out to her.
29:32If your father or she needs anything, please tell them that we're here to help.
29:38Thank you. I'll pass that along.
29:43Trina, wait. There's something I've been meaning to say to you.
29:46Brooklyn?
29:48The night of the accident.
29:51It was the same night that you and Gio performed at Charlie's.
29:56And even though I missed seeing it live, Dante sent me a recording and you were, you were amazing.
30:02Oh.
30:03Well, thank you. That's, that's really nice of you to say. Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing that.
30:07Yeah, well, you are, are clearly a, a big talent. You've always been a standout performer at the
30:12Nurses Ball and I really feel like you could have a future in, in singing. Have you ever considered it?
30:16Oh, I mean, not really. I'm, you know, focused on building my career in like the art world.
30:23That sounds like a good plan.
30:25Well, Trina, if you ever try pursuing singing professionally, I still have a lot of contacts
30:30in the music industry and I'd be happy to help you.
30:34Thanks, Brooklyn. I, I appreciate the offer.
30:37All right, well, I guess I'll see you the next delivery.
30:42Bye, y'all.
30:46Are you out of your mind?
30:50Hey, sorry I'm late.
30:52It's okay. I've kept you waiting millions of times.
30:55How was your meeting with Willow?
30:59Enlightening.
31:00Yeah? How so?
31:01Well, ever since Willow became a congresswoman, I've been worried her power and influence can
31:06be used against me when it comes to the kids.
31:08Yeah, we've all been worried about that.
31:11Yeah, well, I think I just figured out how to even out the playing field.
31:15Now the key to neutralizing Willow, it's been staring me right in the face this whole time.
31:19Before he left, Michael mentioned something about sending him paperwork.
31:24Is everything okay between you two?
31:26Everything's fine. I asked his permission to take the kids out of state for a summer vacation,
31:30and he agreed. We just have to formalize the arrangement.
31:35I'm glad Michael's finally being reasonable. It's the least he could do after framing you for shooting, Drew.
31:41To his credit, it was all very civil. I told him I wished we could have reached this point sooner.
31:49And by that, I meant I wish he had been willing to compromise from the beginning.
31:54If Michael had shown me one iota of grace, things would not have gotten as far as they did.
32:03Willow, you're too good for Michael.
32:06You always have been.
32:10What? Trina's a talented singer. I just wanted to help her out.
32:13Nice try. You wanted to assuage your guilt, which is ridiculous because you have nothing to be guilty about.
32:19Did you just hear what Trina said? That Jordan may end up with permanent facial scarring.
32:24And if that happens, it would be tragic, but it's still not your fault. And you inserting yourself into that
32:29family
32:30is only going to make them suspicious.
32:32Then what do I do? Just never tell them the truth and live the rest of my life with secrets
32:38and a guilty conscience?
32:39It could be worse. If they find out that you were the other car involved in that accident,
32:48Brooklyn, you could lose everything. Your husband, Phoebe, and any chance of ever adopting.
32:56Is that what you want? Of course not. Then pull it together or I won't be able to help you.
33:18He knows more about my football career than I do. Those are so obscure stats he rattled off in there.
33:24I mean, he's a big fan and a little body with a scary memory.
33:27Well, he is great. And he's going to be okay, isn't he?
33:33We're going to do our best. And your visit today, I mean, that did wonders.
33:41You inspired him to keep fighting. Yeah, well, it was good for me too.
33:44I forgot what it's like to have a positive impact on someone.
33:48After I stopped playing football, I tried to stop thinking about that part of my life.
33:52I can see how that might be painful. Yeah, but at least I had a chance to play.
33:57And I really hope Derek gets that chance too. I have faith he will.
34:04Lean on that transplant. Well, I would love to come back and hang with him again.
34:09If that's okay with you, of course. Yeah, of course it is. I'm sure Derek would love me.
34:14Okay. Thank you so much, Lucas. I really appreciate it.
34:19You know, it's really kind of you to go the extra mile to help out Jordan.
34:23Well, you're the one making the phone call, not me.
34:25Well, you're the one who thought of it.
34:28Well, I've blamed Jordan for a lot of things over the years, but it wasn't completely fair.
34:35And like I always tell my daughter, it's never too late to make up for past mistakes.
34:39Well, I'm sure Jordan and Curtis will appreciate the gesture.
34:43I just really hope it works out. You know, it's not like Jordan and I are best friends or anything,
34:48but she's going to be a part of my life because of Curtis and the baby.
34:53I just want to do whatever I can to help them.
34:56Do you mind if I step outside for a minute? I'd like to catch ADA Turner.
34:59There's something I'd like to run by her.
35:01Go ahead. I'm a little worn out anyway. I might take a nap.
35:05Okay, baby. Look, you get some rest, okay?
35:13That sounds great. Okay, keep me updated. Thank you.
35:18ADA Turner, I'm glad I caught you. I know you're still looking for the other driver.
35:24Yes. Are there any updates?
35:27Unfortunately, we don't have any suspects at the moment.
35:30Well, I do.
35:32You should look into Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
35:38With Rogers, Canada's best 5G Plus network, I can share my favorite team with the world.
35:42Agumoto, can you say hi to my mom?
35:44Hi, I'm Michael's mom.
35:45Mom, you got to hold the phone like way further from you.
35:48Sorry.
35:49Mom, did you...
35:51Sorry.
35:53With three new KFC Craven...
