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.
00:15Are you sure you want to put it off?
00:16I thought securing more funding for child care was your top priority.
00:19Oh, it still is.
00:19I just need to take a more active role on the International Law Enforcement Appropriations Committee,
00:25and time is an issue.
00:26And with respect to that, I need you to do some research for me.
00:30Sure. 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 Brennan 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?
01:04I know. I know.
01:06I mean, we still have so much to do before the baby actually arrives.
01:10Don'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't get started.
01:27But...
01:28But what?
01:29I don't know.
01:31It just...
01:32It doesn't feel right having fun working on our family project when Jordan's going through hell.
01:46Oh, Justine.
01:48This 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 fat.
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.
02:24I appreciate it.
02:25And thank you for covering for me.
02:26Of course, man. You got a lot on your plate right now.
02:28Is that about Jordan's accident?
02:32Yeah, 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.
02:45Lucas!
02:46Thanks for coming in early to cover for me.
02:49Oh, 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.
03:04And 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.
03:16You 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 guardrail.
03:54And as it turns out, the paint is from a black German vehicle.
03:58And 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.
04:14It was like, it was like he was feeling guilty about something.
04:19It still seems like a big leap to me.
04:22No.
04:23It's just a theory.
04:25But 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 $1,000 to fix.
04:43I'm sorry, man.
04:44That 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-tock SUV.
04:56Hey.
05:01Yeah.
05:02I'm sorry about that little joke I made earlier.
05:06I wanted to sound like I was doing okay with all of this, but I'm just not there yet.
05:14Obviously.
05:15That's completely understandable, Jordan.
05:19You've been in a terrible accident.
05:20You'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.
05:31And 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.
05:41So you, someone who I care about, I want the truth from you.
05:46Always.
05:48No 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.
06:05Yeah, I know.
06:06But I'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.
06:26I just feel so torn.
06:27I know we have to do this for the baby.
06:29But it just seems so insensitive to move ahead decorating the nursery,
06:33or 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.
06:45But, 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.
06:55Trust me.
06:56I, um, I didn't tell him about a last-minute check-in that I had with Dr. Westbourne.
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.
07:33That sounds awful.
07:35It is.
07:36That makes me feel even more guilty.
07:40For 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 and 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.
08:11What happened to him was a total miscarriage of justice, and I want to make sure the WSB doesn't
08:17destroy any more lives here in Port Charles, and 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.
08:24But 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.
09:00Sorry, 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?
09:07She could be back with her actual family by then.
09:12I should get changed and head to the station.
09:15Oh, I've been meaning to ask you, where's your car?
09:18Did you leave it at Deception?
09:19Oh, you know what?
09:20I 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.
09:28Wouldn'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.
09:36I'll see you later.
09:37Love you.
09:38Yeah, love you.
09:39Have a good day.
09:44You have a very trusting husband.
09:47He's also a smart cop.
09:49And if you don't want him to know that you were involved in Jordan's accident, you better do a better
09:54job of covering.
09:57Hey, Lucas.
09:59Do you have a minute?
10:00Yeah.
10:01My break just started.
10:02What's up?
10:04I just wanted to check in, see how you were doing.
10:08I haven't seen you since Marco's funeral.
10:11I'm hanging in there.
10:12Thank you for asking.
10:14Have the police...
10:15Have the police found who stabbed him and left him for dead?
10:17No, the police haven't found anything.
10:18Hey.
10:19I'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.
10:35Yeah.
10:37He was.
10:39I'll get you a report on the ILE members' voting records by next week.
10:42That would be great.
10:47Isaiah.
10:49It's so good to hear from you.
10:50It's been a while.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Too long.
10:53And 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.
11:02And I would have asked Portia, but she's out with Serena.
11:06And I would hate to interrupt mother-daughter time.
11:09Well, you're in luck because Kai is standing right here.
11:12Do you want me to put him on the phone?
11:13Yes, please.
11:15Thank you, Congresswoman.
11:16Of course.
11:17Hold on one second.
11:19It's Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
11:22Hello?
11:23Hey, Kai.
11:24I hope this isn't a bad time.
11:27I need your help with something important.
11:31Any chance you could swing by the hospital?
11:34I appreciate you trying to help me.
11:36And 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 would 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 planned to leave that part out.
11:51You might, but assume that Lucy Coe won't.
11:55She loves drama.
11:57And the opportunity to be in the middle of it will be too much for her to resist.
12:02Okay, but I wasn't drunk.
12:04I had one glass of wine.
12:05It doesn't matter.
12:07Especially now that your car is being fixed.
12:09The police will assume you are covering up a crime, even though you weren't responsible.
12:16And 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.
12:30People 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.
12:41I have to present a whole package to the jury to win their respect.
12:45And it's somewhat true for men, too.
12:49But they don't have to worry about how much they smile or if they come across as too caring or
12:54not caring enough.
12:55These are the extra burdens we women have to carry in order to succeed.
12:59And that's exactly what I'm worried about.
13:01I 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.
13:15But it also might be a relief.
13:17Once 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.
13:30But eventually, you'll learn how to deal with it.
13:34But I believe in you, Jordan.
13:36Your 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.
13:58Not even Jordan.
13:58So please keep this to yourself.
14:00No, of course.
14:00I won't say anything.
14:01I just don't want to make any accusations until I have proof.
14:05And 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 and should
14:24be held accountable, even if it is Isaiah.
14:28Curtis, I understand wanting to give Jordan closure on what happened.
14:34I really do.
14:35But even if this person is prosecuted, it may not give you the resolution that you're hoping for.
14:44It still might mean something for Jordan.
14:47I have to know if my hunch is correct.
14:51What's done is done.
14:53Coming forward is not going to help Jordan, and 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.
15:03He'll be obligated to report it.
15:08Besides, secrets are part of a healthy marriage.
15:12Oh, come on, Granny.
15:13What do you know about healthy marriages?
15:15I read.
15:19Look, your husband has a self-registry, and what if he decides that you were at fault and insists that
15:25you come forward, even if it means you end up in prison?
15:29Or worse, he tries to protect me and ends up feeling like he's compromising his principles.
15:35Exactly.
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.
15:51By keeping silent about this, trust me, you are saving yourself and your husband a whole lot of heartache.
16:00What about the Ashburns?
16:01What 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.
16:16Do you know if there's any new updates on her condition?
16:20I'm sorry, no.
16:22I've been keeping my distance.
16:25I don't think Jordan welcomes my presence.
16:29But I'm glad I ran into you.
16:30Um, I had breakfast with Trina.
16:33And the subject of the nursery, it came up.
16:36Oh, right.
16:37We need to get started on putting that together.
16:40Ideally, yes.
16:42Um, but we all agreed that we would set up the nursery together.
16:45So we'll wait.
16:47Right now, your focus should all be on Jordan.
16:51Yeah, look, I don't want to hold you up.
16:53So you guys get started without me.
16:55Um, if I have time to help, you know I will.
16:59Okay.
17:01All right.
17:02I'll let Trina know.
17:04Oh, Portia.
17:07It's just crazy how your whole life can just turn on a dime.
17:12You know, one minute Jordan and I were planning a nursery.
17:16Going to celebrate a night on the town.
17:19Just like that, it changed in an instant.
17:22Yeah, I'm really sorry.
17:25Isaiah and I were shocked when Trina called us that night and told us what happened.
17:29Isaiah was with you that night?
17:31Well, we were up at his cabin.
17:33So you were out of town.
17:36Why do you ask?
17:37Well, it's just that, um, when we brought Jordan in that night to the hospital,
17:42I kept hoping that I would bump into one of you so you could keep me updated on Jordan's condition.
17:46We were already done working for the day.
17:51Or, at least I was.
17:53What does that mean?
17:55Well, um, Isaiah had to come back into town.
17:58He had an emergency house call.
18:02It's comforting that I'm not the only one who saw Marco as a hero.
18:06That there's someone else who knows how brave and selfless he was.
18:09Well, that's kind of why I'm here.
18:12I want the whole world to know what a great guy Marco was.
18:15And I was thinking the best way to do that might be to honor him with a memorial.
18:20What kind of memorial?
18:22You've heard of the Carinthos Davis House, right?
18:24It's a charitable foundation I started for the queer community.
18:27Yeah, I've heard that you guys do a lot of great work.
18:29Well, I was thinking the foundation could do something to honor Marco.
18:33I would love to know more about him, though, to make it really personal.
18:36Do you think you could share some details about his life with me?
18:39I would love nothing more.
18:43Hey!
18:44Hey.
18:45Hi.
18:47I appreciate you coming on such short notice.
18:50Yeah, no problem.
18:50Your call made me curious.
18:52That's what I was hoping for.
18:54Listen, we have a young patient named Derek who's been in the hospital for several weeks now,
18:58and I think it's starting to weigh on him.
19:00Yeah, I know that feeling all too well.
19:02It was not fun being cooped up in here after my spinal injury.
19:05How long is Derek supposed to stay?
19:07Oh, it could be a while.
19:11He's waiting on a liver transplant.
19:13Jeez.
19:14Poor kid.
19:15I wish there was something I could do for him.
19:17There is.
19:19Derek is a huge football fan.
19:22His dream is to play for PCU, and he wants to play quarterback for the Hary too.
19:28Now, I'm hoping a visit from a PCU legend can brighten up his day.
19:35Do you have any time for him?
19:36I mean, I don't play anymore.
19:38Maybe he'd rather talk to one of my friends who's still on the team.
19:40I could call one of them.
19:41No, no, no.
19:42You're his favorite football player, okay?
19:45And frankly, I would love for him to talk to someone other than me about your stats
19:50and how much of a legend you are.
19:53Then you pay him a visit.
19:55Listen, if you think he'll help you, I'll do whatever I can.
20:01Michael, hi.
20:03Thank you for coming.
20:05Please 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.
20:23Particularly about Jacinda.
20:25And for that, I apologize.
20:29Why a sudden change of heart?
20:33Once I calmed down, I realized we shouldn't be at each other's throats.
20:36It's not good for the kids.
20:40Yeah.
20:40Yeah, I agree.
20:42I accept your apology.
20:44Although, you should probably apologize to Jacinda directly.
20:49Is there anything else?
20:52Actually, yes.
20:53I have a favor to ask.
20:58Hi, Trina.
20:59What's going on?
21:00The delivery man dropped off a package at our apartment instead of the main house.
21:04And I figured I'd just save you the trip and, like, bring it to you.
21:07Again?
21:08That man needs to give you part of his paycheck because he can't seem to do his job without your
21:13help.
21:15It's very thoughtful of you.
21:16Yeah, no problem.
21:20Hey, man.
21:22All right, well, I probably should get going.
21:24Trina, wait.
21:26Before 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, 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.
21:49Of course you're going to feel different.
21:51You need to give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally.
21:56I am terrible at waiting.
21:58When there's a problem, I am used to taking action and fixing it.
22:01But this, I have no control over what happened.
22:07I have no control over what happens or when.
22:08Yes, you do.
22:10In the sense that you can give yourself grace.
22:14And you can lean on the people that care about you.
22:17Like me, like Curtis, hmm?
22:21Well, Curtis and I just got back together.
22:24He 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.
22:35But more importantly, don't sell yourself short.
22:38Whether you end up with a scar or not, you are an amazing woman.
22:42And Curtis is lucky to have you.
22:48I appreciate you letting me be me.
22:56Anytime.
22:59Before he pursued a law career, Marco considered being a professional musician.
23:05Mainly it's because it's what Natalia wanted.
23:09Sounds familiar?
23:10Well, lucky for him, Natalia had Ali to fulfill all her dreams instead.
23:15And despite all the drama between Marco and Natalia, he was heartbroken when she died.
23:22He really loved his mom.
23:24What else did he love besides you?
23:29Tennis.
23:30And 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, but 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
24:13open a small athletic facility.
24:14Maybe 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.
24:27That's what we'll do.
24:28I will host a fundraiser at Charlie's and we'll have a night of singing to raise funds.
24:34I know 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.
24:45I was hoping you would send that.
24:52Derek, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine.
24:55Kai Taylor?
24:57You played quarterback for PCU.
24:59Yes, I did.
25:00It's nice to meet you, Derek.
25:01I'm flattered you remember me.
25:02I haven't played in over a year.
25:04Passing efficiency 178, 69% completion ratio, and nine yards person attacked.
25:10Who's going to forget that?
25:12Okay.
25:13Well, believe it or not, Derek, a lot of people do.
25:16But 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.
25:24Well, 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.
25:32What kind of favor are you looking for?
25:35I 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.
25:43That's a first.
25:45Michael, it was such poor judgment on my part to take Wiley to D.C. last year for Drew's swearing
25:52-in ceremony without asking you first.
25:55That is why I'm asking you now.
25:57I 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.
26:05You deserved an apology.
26:07And mine was sincere.
26:12My kids would love to go to Disney World, so...
26:17Yeah, you have my permission.
26:19Just keep me advised on the details, okay?
26:21I will.
26:23At 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.
26:30I 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.
26:56I 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.
27:07I can't believe you remembered.
27:09Of course I did.
27:10I just wanted to thank you for helping me and Brooklyn get approved to foster Phoebe.
27:15You don't need to thank me.
27:16I didn't really do anything.
27:17You 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.
27:25Thank you for being such a good friend.
27:29Lucas!
27:29Lucas!
27:30Do you have a minute?
27:31Uh, yeah.
27:32What's up?
27:32Well, didn't you once tell me that you went to med school with one of the top plastic surgeons
27:37in the country?
27:37Oh, uh, Dr. Shapiro.
27:39Yeah, he's based in L.A.
27:41Okay, nice.
27:41Um, would you feel comfortable asking him to consult on Jordan's case?
27:46Well, I'd be happy to.
27:47But fair warning, Dr. Shapiro has patients flying in from all over the world.
27:51I hear he has a two-year wait list.
27:52Yeah, I was kind of worried about that.
27:54But if he's your friend, it's worth a shot, right?
28:00I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
28:02Oh, hey.
28:03We were just catching up.
28:05Here.
28:05Look at this amazing hoodie Justine got me.
28:08It's cute, right?
28:09Yeah.
28:10Cute.
28:11I hope you got a matching one for me.
28:13Unfortunately, they didn't have any in your size.
28:16Thank you again, Justine.
28:18This will be perfect for my yoga classes when I get out of here.
28:21You're very welcome, Jordan.
28:23And with that, I should get going.
28:27But I will come and see you again very soon.
28:30I look forward to it.
28:32Bye.
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.
28:43Never.
28:45I talked to Dr. Caldwell.
28:48She thinks it'll be at least a month before we can start talking surgical options.
28:52Okay.
28:53Well, at least we have a timeline.
28:55It's something.
28:56Yeah.
28:56She said the burdens shouldn't be a problem long term, but we have to wait for them to heal
29:05before we can make any plans to address the lacerations.
29:11It would have been a lot simpler if we had gotten help sooner the night of the accident.
29:17That's definitely true.
29:19How bad are her injuries?
29:21Um, it's hard to say.
29:24Or Jordan.
29:27Yeah, uh, yes.
29:28Um, my heart goes out to her.
29:31Or if your father or she needs anything, please tell them that we're here to help.
29:39I'll pass that along.
29:43Trina, wait.
29:44There's something I've been meaning to say to you.
29:46Brooklyn?
29:48The night of the accident.
29:52It was the same night that you and Gio performed at Charlie's.
29:56And even though I miss seeing it live, Dante sent me a recording and you were, you were
30:01amazing.
30:02Oh.
30:03Well, thank you.
30:04That's, that's really nice of you to say.
30:06Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing that.
30:08Yeah, well, you are, are clearly a, a big talent.
30:10You've always been a standout performer at the Nurses Ball, and I really feel like you
30:13could have a future in, in singing.
30:15Have you ever considered it?
30:16Oh, I mean, not really.
30:19I'm, you know, focused on building my career in, like, the art world.
30:23That sounds like a good plan.
30:24Well, 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.
30:35I, 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?
31:02Well, 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.
31:27I asked his permission to take the kids out of state for a summer vacation, and he agreed.
31:32We just have to formalize the arrangement.
31:34I'm glad Michael's finally being reasonable.
31:37It's the least he could do after framing you for shooting, Drew.
31:41To his credit, it was all very civil.
31:45I told him I wished we could have reached this point sooner.
31:49And by that, I meant I wished 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?
32:11Trina's a talented singer.
32:12I just wanted to help her out.
32:13Nice try.
32:14You wanted to assuage your guilt, which is ridiculous because you have nothing to be guilty about.
32:19Did you just hear what Trina said?
32:21That Jordan may end up with permanent facial scarring.
32:24And if that happens, it would be tragic, but it's still not your fault.
32:27And you inserting yourself into that family is only going to make them suspicious.
32:32Then what do I do?
32:34Just never tell them the truth and live the rest of my life with secrets and a guilty conscience?
32:39It could be worse.
32:41If they find out that you were the other car involved in that accident...
32:48Brooklyn, you could lose everything.
32:51Your husband, Phoebe, and any chance of ever adopting.
32:56Is that what you want?
32:58Of course not.
32:59Then pull it together.
33:01Or I won't be able to help you.
33:19He knows more about my football career than I do.
33:21Those are some 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.
33:30And he's going to be okay, isn't he?
33:33We're going to do our best.
33:37And your visit today, I mean, that did wonders.
33:41You inspired him to keep fighting.
33:43Yeah, well, it was good for me, too.
33:45I 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.
33:55Yeah, but at least I had a chance to play.
33:57And I really hope Derek gets that chance, too.
34:00I have faith he will.
34:03Just lean on that transplant.
34:06Well, I would love to come back and hang with him again, if that's okay with you, of course.
34:11Yeah, of course it is.
34:13I'm sure Derek would love me.
34:15Thank you so much, Lucas.
34:17I 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.
34:29Well, I've blamed Jordan for a lot of things over the years.
34:33But 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.
34:45You 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?
34:58I'd like to catch ADA Turner.
35:00There's something I'd like to run by her.
35:01Go ahead.
35:02I'm a little worn out anyway.
35:04I might take a nap.
35:05Okay, baby, look, you get some rest, okay?
35:13That sounds great.
35:15Okay, keep me updated.
35:18ADA Turner?
35:20I'm glad I caught you.
35:22I know you're still looking for the other driver.
35:24Yes.
35:25Are 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.
35:42Akimoto, 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.
35:50Mom, do you...
35:52Sorry.
35:53With three new KFC Craven.
