00:01So when will Interjuster be available?
00:03I want to get this scrape fixed ASAP.
00:07Keep me posted.
00:09Here's Baldwin.
00:11Any chance the blood tests are in on Bergman?
00:13Timing couldn't be more perfect.
00:16Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing, but were you in an accident?
00:19No, I just wasn't paying attention
00:22and scraped the side of my SUV in a parking garage.
00:24Oh.
00:28Hi.
00:30Elizabeth.
00:31Hi.
00:32Who it is?
00:34I don't see you in forever,
00:35and now I get to talk to you twice in one day.
00:38Well, now I'm glad I get to finally say this in person.
00:42Congratulations, Congresswoman.
00:43Thank you, Isaiah.
00:44And I meant to be in touch sooner, but things got...
00:47A little busy?
00:48Well, you are representing Port Charles
00:51and taking care of Truett home.
00:54How do you manage all that?
00:56So tell me, how are you and Jordan holding up?
01:00Well, Jordan's overall health is good.
01:02Her kidney is undamaged and functioning fine.
01:06Well, that's good news.
01:08Yeah, it is.
01:09But the wound to her face?
01:13Laura, Jordan could be scarred permanently,
01:15and she is struggling to come to terms with it.
01:18Oh, I am sure that she is.
01:21Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:23Is there anything I can do?
01:25Well, that's actually why I'm here.
01:28Oh?
01:29I don't want to impose.
01:31But I need someone to help me figure this out,
01:34and you are the only person I trust.
01:37Well, please have a seat and tell me.
01:42Well, we're trying to find the driver of the other vehicle from the accident.
01:50And have you been able to?
01:52Nothing for certain.
01:53But there's reason to believe it's Porsche's boyfriend, Isaiah Gannon.
02:00Hi.
02:01Oh, hey, Alexis.
02:03Is that seat taken?
02:04No, not at all.
02:05It's all yours.
02:06It's a good day for a power walk, huh?
02:08Yeah, well, it's not my choice.
02:10I lost a bet with the girls, and now I have to walk four times a week
02:14because they say it'll reduce my stress.
02:16Although I feel more stressed about when I'm walking
02:18because I'm thinking about all the things that I'm not doing while I'm walking.
02:22Well, at least it got you out of the office and into the fresh air.
02:25No, I'm kind of used to the air in my office.
02:28I'm worried this fresh air might shock my lungs.
02:31Now, who is that beauty?
02:33This is Phoebe.
02:38Hey.
02:39Do you have a second?
02:40Hey, Jocelyn.
02:41What's up?
02:45I'm concerned.
02:47About you or about me?
02:48Director, call him.
02:50How's he doing?
02:50Is he going to be released soon?
02:52All right.
02:53First, I find you in his room.
02:54And now you're here again asking about him.
02:57Why are you so interested?
03:05Hey, you.
03:06Hey.
03:10What is it?
03:11It's Rocco.
03:12We have to do something before he gets himself in some real trouble.
03:16Good afternoon, Chief Brennan.
03:17Jacinda, Charlotte.
03:19I hope I'm not interrupting.
03:21I'll let Miss Reeves know you're here.
03:22No, that's all right.
03:23She already knows I'm coming.
03:23Still, everyone deserves a warning before you show up.
03:30Ah, go right in.
03:36Chief Brennan?
03:37What are you doing here?
03:39Oh, shouldn't be a surprise.
03:40You knew I was coming?
03:41Yes, but I was hoping desperately that you'd be unavoidably detained.
03:45Since that didn't happen.
03:47What do you want?
03:48A ceasefire.
03:50I think it's time that we reset the tone of our relationship.
03:56Let me cook you dinner again.
03:57You liked it last time.
03:59Yeah, it was delicious, but I think it's safer if I just bring home dinner from the Metro Court.
04:02No, come on.
04:03I can't take another night of takeout.
04:05That's a five-star restaurant.
04:07Let me just see what you got.
04:08I'm sure I can whip something together that's delicious and healthy.
04:11After all, your body is a, uh, temple.
04:16And Mom?
04:31I'm not concerned about Colm.
04:33I'm concerned about my mother.
04:35Losing Jason has hit her hard.
04:38But if Colm makes a recovery, he might remember something that helps Jason.
04:42I-I-I doubt that Colm is looking to do Jason any favors.
04:49Yeah, you're probably right.
04:51But Colm's account of what happened may clarify why Jason did what he did.
04:56Even if he doesn't mean to, he could help Jason's defense.
04:59So you're gonna do what?
05:01Talk to him yourself?
05:03Try to appeal to his better nature?
05:06Because I can tell you, he doesn't have one.
05:08Look, I know that it sounds stupid thinking I can somehow get through to Colm.
05:14But with Jason gone, I'm worried that my mom could do something reckless.
05:21Mom, you're in the kitchen?
05:22Go, go, go.
05:23Uh, yeah, in here.
05:26Hey.
05:27Oh, God.
05:28Someone else here?
05:28No, just you.
05:30It's so good to see you.
05:32Me too.
05:32I'm not interrupting your day.
05:34Oh, no, no.
05:35What's on your mind?
05:37I think I finally figured out how to handle Willow.
05:40Oh, God.
05:41What's she done now?
05:42No, it's not what she did.
05:44It's what she's gonna do.
05:46She just needs a little push.
05:48Thank you for coming to see me.
05:50I assume Nina told you all about my visit with Drew.
05:54Uh, my mom said you stopped by.
05:57Oh.
05:58Okay.
05:59Did something happen?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Something very promising.
06:04When I was with Drew, he started blinking SOS several times.
06:09He was asking for help.
06:11Why wouldn't your mother tell you that?
06:14Threats and blackmail do not a relationship make, Chief Brennan.
06:19I agree.
06:20I think our relationship has become needlessly antagonistic.
06:26Well, I think the aforementioned threats and blackmail had something to do with it.
06:31Look, I'm just doing my job.
06:33Part of my job is to find Valentin.
06:35But I understand your loyalty to Charlotte, so I'm not gonna pressure you to get information out of her anymore.
06:43Right.
06:45And the traffic cam footage of Willow?
06:49Never needs to see the light of day.
06:52Well, that's quite magnanimous of you, Chief Brennan.
06:57What's the catch?
06:59Last I heard, the PCPD was treating Jordan's crash as a single vehicle accident, meaning there was no other car
07:07involved.
07:07I mean, you told me yourself you didn't think that it was the other driver's fault, right?
07:13It wasn't.
07:15Jordan got distracted, and she crossed into the path of an oncoming car.
07:19She swerved to avoid a collision, went off the road, and hit an embankment.
07:24But you think that that other driver was Dr. Isaiah Gannon?
07:28There's physical evidence that suggests just that.
07:32But there would need to be a full investigation.
07:35Yes, yes, of course.
07:38But if it was Gannon, why did he just keep going?
07:43If he'd have stopped, we could have called an ambulance, we could have got Jordan out of that car earlier
07:47and further away from the car before it exploded.
07:50Jordan could have been treated so much sooner.
07:53Don't you think it's possible the other driver didn't even know there was an accident?
07:58Maybe.
07:59Maybe not.
08:01But the only way we'll know for sure is to find him.
08:08Curtis, do you hold the other driver responsible for Jordan's injuries?
08:15What happened? What's going on with Rocco?
08:18He told Britt.
08:20He told her everything. He told her that he shot Colm.
08:22He told her that I took him here, that you and I told him to keep quiet.
08:26Great. Britt knows who is she threatening to tell.
08:30No, nobody. No, Britt wants to protect Rocco.
08:32Right, until she needs leverage and then she will sacrifice Rocco in a heartbeat to save her own skin.
08:37I get that you hate my sister, but Britt loves Rocco.
08:40Britt is not capable of loving-
08:42Lulu, stop it. No, Britt loves Rocco.
08:45Okay, Rocco told her. She came straight to me.
08:49Why would he do that?
08:51Because she was there at the pier that night because he feels some kind of a connection to her.
08:57I don't know. It doesn't matter why he told her. He told her.
09:01Okay, besides Britt is not the problem. Rocco is.
09:06Jordan and I both know that the other driver wasn't responsible for the accident.
09:09What we don't know is why they didn't stop.
09:13What kind of person drives away from an accident?
09:16Were they hiding something? What were they thinking?
09:20Hmm. I do know that Jordan and I deserve some information.
09:25Yes, and I certainly understand why you would feel that way.
09:28But, um, well, I think we both know that moral responsibility doesn't always translate into legal accountability.
09:35True, but driving away from the scene of an accident is a crime.
09:38Yes, it is. If the driver was aware that there had been an accident.
09:45And if it were actually Isaiah driving.
09:50Well, then that complicates things between me and Portia.
09:53Which is the last thing I want to do because we're finally in a good place.
09:57Okay, good. Well, then don't jeopardize that.
09:59Well, Jordan and I almost died.
10:01Listen, the crash was an accident, but driving away was a choice.
10:05So if it was Isaiah, then I want him held responsible.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Curtis, do you really believe that it was Isaiah driving that car?
10:17Or do you think maybe you just want it to be Isaiah?
10:22Well, now I know why I haven't heard from you and Chase about that adoption process we discussed.
10:29We didn't expect to have Phoebe for this long.
10:31The PCPD has been looking for her family, but so far they've come up with nothing.
10:36It's like she's all alone in the world.
10:39Well, she's very lucky to have you both.
10:41We're the lucky ones.
10:44I knew we'd fall in love with her, but we also knew we'd have to give her to her family.
10:51But if there is no family, it changes things.
10:58Alexis, how long before Phoebe is officially declared a ward of the state and available for adoption?
11:05I'm sorry. I wasn't sure what you meant at first.
11:08And I'm sorry if you were alarmed by Drew's little SOS.
11:14He does it a lot.
11:15What does he want help with?
11:17To be his old self.
11:23To not be in the state he's in.
11:28It's his way of expressing his anger and frustration about being locked in, which is unimaginable and completely understandable.
11:36Every time I see him, my heart breaks all over again.
11:40Yeah, of course it does.
11:43But if he could communicate better.
11:45You know there are plenty of eye-tracking devices that translate eye movements into words.
11:51I know. I've seen some of them in action.
11:53Well, great. Then you know what a huge difference one could make in Drew's quality of life.
11:59Well, you could get your husband back.
12:02There is no catch. That traffic cam footage stays buried.
12:08I guess this means you finally realized that I was right.
12:12About?
12:13Carly. That she would kick you to the curb when she found out that you withheld that footage of Willow
12:19and let Michael take the blame in the public eye for shooting Drew.
12:23Well, let's just say I didn't see the need to rock the boat.
12:27Right.
12:29That said...
12:30Here we go.
12:33If you do begin to realize that Charlotte will never be truly safe while Valentin is on the run, and
12:39if she happens to confide in you, I would appreciate anything you wanted to pass along.
12:47You want me to give you up to Jack?
12:49Not exactly. I want you to feed him information on me, but only information that I want him to have.
12:54You're setting him up.
12:56Is that a problem?
12:57Oh, God, no.
13:00You know what?
13:02The less animosity between us, the better.
13:05Let's just call it done.
13:08And walk away.
13:10Done.
13:15And just so you know, if you did give me any information, I'd make sure no one knew it came
13:21from you.
13:27Jacinda, Charlotte, you two have a good afternoon.
13:29You too, Chief Brennan.
13:40Why were you so rude to Brennan?
13:43Because he deserves a lot worse.
13:44I mean, I'm not just gonna act like everything's okay when he's the reason my dad's a fugitive.
13:49I mean, he is so smug.
13:51He's big-time law enforcement.
13:53Comes with the territory.
13:55Yeah, well, he can be as cocky as he wants.
13:57He's not gonna find my dad. Not in a million years.
14:01Carly is not alone just because Jason's gone.
14:04She's got us, right?
14:06Mm-hmm.
14:08We're not really speaking right now.
14:11We got in a huge fight.
14:13And I said some things I regret.
14:16Well, usually it's your mom who says things that everybody regrets.
14:21So, this is progress.
14:23I don't think so.
14:25But nice try.
14:26This will pass.
14:27This is what our family does.
14:28We get in huge knock-down drag-outs and then we make up.
14:32Yeah.
14:34Yeah, you're right.
14:34But in the meantime, I'll keep an eye on your mom for you.
14:38And if it helps, I just did have dinner with her.
14:41How was that?
14:43Uh...
14:45Well, I gotta say, um...
14:47At the moment, you might be right to question her choices.
14:53I was talking to Willow at her office when Chase walks in with a bouquet of flowers.
14:59That's when it hit me.
15:00Now, Chase is convinced that I shot Drew and tried to frame Willow.
15:03He's completely blind to her manipulations.
15:07Where are you going with this?
15:08Chase doesn't see Willow for who she really is.
15:11He still sees her as the woman he married, the woman he fell in love with.
15:15You think he's still in love with her?
15:17Well, we don't put it all on the line for just a friend, certainly not an ex-wife.
15:21Well, I don't know about that.
15:22Okay, well, look, you and Jason, you guys are different.
15:24But Chase, he's supposedly happily married and trying to start a family.
15:27Meanwhile, he's doing all this for another woman.
15:29You think they're having an affair?
15:32Not yet.
15:33But all their own materials are there, for one.
15:36That just needs a little fuel.
15:39And you want to pour the gasoline.
15:42All right, let's say it happens.
15:44What do you get out of it?
15:47It would wreck Willow more than I ever could.
15:49Now, think about it.
15:50A congresswoman cheating on a disabled spouse with the cop who broke all the rules to get her acquitted.
15:56It would be a massive scandal.
15:58Now, people might actually start to believe that she shot Drew after all the governor would remove her from her
16:01seat.
16:02And once she's out of that position, all of my advantages will work for me again.
16:09Wow.
16:11Okay.
16:12It can work.
16:15But you know it would destroy Brooklyn's marriage and life.
16:20You really want to do that to your cousin?
16:25Of course I don't want to hurt Brooklyn. I love her.
16:28Then how can you push Chase and Willow together?
16:31Look, I know better than anyone the pain of public infidelity, okay?
16:34I would never want Brooklyn to feel that.
16:37And yet I don't hear you talking yourself out of it.
16:39Because as awful as that was, I'm better off now.
16:42Because I know the truth.
16:44Yeah, I thought that Willow loved me, but I didn't know who she really was.
16:46Just like Brooklyn doesn't really know who Chase is.
16:49And you do.
16:51I see the guy for who he is.
16:53Now, a man thoroughly convinced of his own moral superiority.
16:57Now, I won't be forcing Chase to cheat on Brooklyn.
17:00I will simply construct circumstances that are favorable to an affair.
17:05And if he happens to wind up in Willow's bed, well, that's on him.
17:09Why would Willow risk an affair?
17:12Well, because Willow's essentially alone in the world right now.
17:15And Willow doesn't do well alone.
17:17And she needs someone with her.
17:19Someone to reinforce her belief in herself.
17:23Well, Chase could do that for her.
17:25He already is.
17:26And Willow desperately wants to be the person that Chase thinks she is.
17:31I appreciate this so much, Elizabeth, but I've already looked into eye-tracking devices a couple of times.
17:37But my concern is that it would send Drew the wrong message.
17:42How?
17:44Because I know Drew.
17:45His goal is 100% recovery, nothing less.
17:49In an eye-tracking device, he would take that as me not believing in him.
17:54That I have accepted, maybe even decided, that his being unable to speak is permanent.
18:01And that would absolutely crush his spirit.
18:04I cannot do that to him.
18:05He's really such a proud man.
18:10Okay.
18:12Well, I'm glad you thought about it.
18:14I really have.
18:17I know how overwhelming it must be to care for Drew and Scout.
18:22And I know it's gotta be daunting, the thought of just adding on one more thing to his therapy.
18:28It's not that.
18:29But he was trying so hard to communicate with me.
18:31And I assume he's only doing the same with you.
18:35Imagine how much better both of your lives would be if Drew could actually talk to you.
18:42Have you and Chase discussed adopting Phoebe?
18:46Not yet.
18:47I think we're both afraid to be the first one to say it out loud.
18:50We were braced to be temporary parents.
18:53We wanted her to be back with her family.
18:55But that hasn't happened.
18:57The thought of handing her over to complete strangers, no matter how wonderful or well-deserving they may be,
19:02it just, it feels wrong.
19:04Phoebe lost her mom.
19:06And if she loses me and Chase too, she'll be abandoned all over again.
19:09And to have to put her back into the system would break our hearts.
19:16We already love her.
19:19I can tell.
19:22Brooklyn, that might be exactly what you may have to do.
19:29You're the proof from that photo shoot in Algiers.
19:33Charlotte.
19:39I owe you an apology.
19:41For what?
19:43For not being a very good friend to you.
19:48What do you mean?
19:50Charlotte, I know I let you down and I am so sorry.
19:54And I promise to do better.
19:58It's alright.
19:59I never really expected anything from you anyway.
20:02Charlotte.
20:03I mean, I was never really your daughter.
20:14Did you just say that my son is a problem?
20:17I am just saying that Rocco is struggling, okay?
20:20He's traumatized, he's guilt-ridden over shooting Cullen and letting Jason take the blame.
20:24Of course he is.
20:26He's a teenage boy who shot someone.
20:29And he wouldn't have been in that situation to begin with if he hadn't been following Britt.
20:33I get that.
20:33And as understandable as Rocco's feelings on the matter are, if it gets out that he's the one that shot
20:38Cullen,
20:38everything that we have done to protect him goes down the drain.
20:41Lulu, it's only a matter of time before he tells Dante.
20:45And then where will we be?
20:48I'll talk to Rocco and I will remind him how important it is to stay quiet.
20:52You've already done that. I've already done that. Britt's already done that.
20:55It's not working.
20:55Okay, fine. Since you seem to have all the answers, what do we do?
21:00We have to send him away.
21:02For his own good.
21:05Is there something going on with my mom I don't know about?
21:07I should not have said anything.
21:10Well, you did.
21:11So Spill, seriously, if she's gone rogue trying to keep her mind off of Jason,
21:18or worse, she's trying to rescue him from a WSB black site, then I need to know.
21:23She is not doing anything dangerous or illegal or anything.
21:28So you just, you don't need to worry.
21:30Oh, I know I don't have to worry because you're going to tell me everything you know.
21:34I'm not leaving your side until you do. And unlike you, I've got all day.
21:38You know, sometimes you are too much like your mom.
21:42Fine.
21:46Carly is cheating on Brad.
21:50Does it work in our favor that we're Phoebe's foster parents?
21:54Well, it doesn't hurt.
21:58But this is a really complicated legal situation because when you and Chase decided to take Phoebe in, you did
22:06it with the understanding that it was just temporary.
22:09Since there are thousands of families that have already registered and are waiting for a baby, I mean, you can't
22:16just cut the line as it were.
22:17But what about what's best for Phoebe?
22:19Well, that isn't for you, you and I to decide.
22:23But if you and Chase really want to adopt Phoebe, the sooner you make it official, the better.
22:31You think I suspect Isaiah because of his relationship with Portia?
22:36Look, you're accusing a man who's a doctor.
22:39He took an oath to do no harm.
22:42But you're accusing him of knowingly leaving the scene of an accident and then and keeping quiet about it all
22:51because he's got something to hide.
22:55Okay, I can see how that looks.
22:57Yeah.
22:58Look, this is the man who Portia cheated on you with and that forced you into a period of uncertainty
23:05about the paternity of the baby that your wife is carrying.
23:09Of course, there's got to be a part of you that wants to punish Isaiah.
23:16Yeah, I thought about that, but no.
23:19And believe me, it would be a lot easier if Isaiah weren't the other driver.
23:23Portia's planning a future with that guy.
23:25And your future is going to be entwined with Portia's.
23:30So how do you feel about Isaiah being a part of that?
23:36I don't love it, but I know I got to accept it.
23:40And I know that Isaiah's going to be a part of my baby's life, whether I like it or not.
23:46But if he was the one who left Jordan and me on the side of the road, I think Portia
23:51needs to know what kind of man he is.
23:53And I know she's not going to thank me for being the one to point it out.
23:59Then maybe you shouldn't be the one to prove it.
24:04Why don't we take a break? Maybe grab a latte?
24:07Hmm?
24:09Charlotte, are you okay?
24:10Did something happen with Nina?
24:12No, it's just...
24:14I used to think Nina loved me, you know?
24:18And now I can't trust her, and neither can my dad.
24:24Congresswoman?
24:25Is my mother in?
24:26For you, always.
24:31Willow, what a pleasant surprise.
24:33Why didn't you tell me that Elizabeth was worried about Drew?
24:37Elizabeth mentioned that Drew was blinking in SOS, but I thought I played it off.
24:41Well, not well enough, because now she's pushing me to get Drew an eye-tracking device so that he can
24:45communicate.
24:47You said no, right?
24:49Because the second Drew can tell people what's going on, it's all over.
24:55My mom is seeing someone else.
24:59Who?
25:00And for how long?
25:01Does Brennan know?
25:03She admitted that she's involved with another man.
25:05I don't know who it is.
25:06She didn't give me any details, which kind of makes me worried because it makes me think that I might
25:10know the person and I might not like them.
25:13Are you aiding and abetting a fugitive?
25:17That's right.
25:18I gotta say, from the way she was acting, I was worried that she was back with Sunny again.
25:23It's not Sunny.
25:25Do you know who it is?
25:26No.
25:27This is the first I'm hearing of this.
25:30But it's not Sunny.
25:32She's past that.
25:34Well, if you're sure, then I can exhale.
25:37And as for Brennan knowing, I don't think so, given how hard she's been working to keep it a secret.
25:44But I suppose this is none of our business, so please don't say anything to Carly.
25:48If she finds out that you-
25:49No.
25:49That I told you she will-
25:51I'm not gonna say anything.
25:54I'm sorry.
25:54I have to go.
25:56Love you.
25:57Love you too.
26:04We have to get Rocco out of Port Charles.
26:06It's almost summer, isn't there like a baseball camp or something he can go to?
26:09Absolutely not.
26:10Why not?
26:11It wouldn't be good for him to get out of Port Charles, the city where everything happened.
26:15And where everyone who cares about him is.
26:18Most of whom he can't even be honest with. He's already isolating himself.
26:21Even more reason that he needs to be with his-
26:23Stop!
26:24Lulu, you think that you can contain this, but you can't.
26:26And Rocco is not built to hold this secret. We have to get him out.
26:31I cannot believe that you are talking about Rocco like he is some kind of burden to unload.
26:37I am just trying to get through to you, okay?
26:40It will be infinitely better for everyone involved, Rocco included, if he's not here.
26:45And you need to start thinking about what your son needs and not just what you want.
26:51Who the hell do you think you are telling me what's best for my child?
26:55He's not a little kid.
26:56But he is my kid. And he will always be my kid. And I am not abandoning him when he
27:01needs me most.
27:12Hey, Lulu. If this is a bad time.
27:15It is.
27:16No.
27:18Come on in.
27:26Isaiah here is a true friend who treated Rocco's hand, no questions asked.
27:33In fact, Rocco is the reason I am here.
27:37Last round of antibiotics.
27:39You.
27:40I didn't realize you were involved in whatever trouble Rocco is in.
27:43What do you know about him?
27:45Only that Rocco heard his hand.
27:47Like Lulu said, no questions asked.
27:54Well, that settles it then.
27:55I will talk to Chase tonight.
27:58All right. Well, when you talk to him, you have to have a real honest conversation about what you both
28:04want.
28:04Well, that won't be a problem.
28:06I know you want a baby, but when we talked, you said you wanted a private adoption.
28:10And that is very different than a state adoption.
28:12How exactly?
28:13I mean, obviously they're different, but...
28:16Well, private adoption is more personal.
28:18The couples have more control rather than having to fight the state child welfare system.
28:23And that's a lot more impersonal.
28:25We'll have to go to court?
28:27Not only that, you're going to have to convince a court to not only ignore its own rules,
28:32but ignore the families that are waiting in good faith for a baby because you're what's best for Phoebe.
28:40Pressure.
28:41I will help you the best that I can, but it's going to be a good, hard fight and you
28:47and Chase need to be up for it.
28:50I have to talk to Chase, but I already know in my heart what he'll say.
28:55We don't just want a baby, we want this baby.
29:00Phoebe belongs with us.
29:03Who is that?
29:04Hey.
29:05I heard that Willow was here?
29:06Yes, I asked her to stop by.
29:08We've barely seen each other since she's become Congresswoman.
29:12Well, she is juggling a lot, somehow.
29:15I know about that.
29:16Not successfully, anyway.
29:18She's managed to isolate herself in that house with Drew and Scout, from what it seems like.
29:26Does she have anyone she can really talk to?
29:29I mean, besides you, on the rare occasion.
29:31I think Nina's the only other adult.
29:35You seem worried.
29:37Well, not worried, necessarily.
29:39But I do think Willow's in over her head.
29:43You don't like Willow, do you?
29:46Not even one bit.
29:50Because of what she did to Michael?
29:52Well, I certainly hate the way Willow's treated Michael.
29:56And I hate how she always plays the victim.
29:58She's the one who cheated.
30:00If she hadn't, you and Michael might not be together.
30:03Good point.
30:05Still, there's nothing worse than someone who pretends to care about you who turns out to be someone you can't
30:11trust.
30:11I heard that.
30:13Mother and daughter are alike that way.
30:16I mean, from what you said, it sounds like Nina might have done the same thing to you and your
30:21dad.
30:22Well, I never thought Nina would turn against my father, but now...
30:32That was close.
30:34Michael, I discovered you.
30:35I'd have had to kill him.
30:37Don't joke about that.
30:38At least now you know I'm joking.
30:40Look, Michael wouldn't have said anything, but I don't want him involved in this.
30:44And him just showing up like that, it proves you can't keep hiding out here.
30:47You're right.
30:48Brennan's gone from target to distraction.
30:50We need to shift our focus to Cullum and Sidwell.
30:52How?
30:53I told you.
30:54I want to use Nina to bait Jack into an ambush.
30:57Okay.
30:59But you're not going to kill Jack, right?
31:03Hi.
31:04I'm always happy to see you, but we're kind of in the middle of something right now.
31:08Hey, Charlotte, do you mind getting me a coffee really quick?
31:10No problem.
31:15Charlotte was just about to tell me about Valentin.
31:17See, well, that's just the thing.
31:18You don't need to press her anymore.
31:20And in fact, you don't need to be involved at all.
31:22Why?
31:22What happened?
31:23I found another way to get to Willow.
31:26Nina, it's okay.
31:26It's not like I intended to keep Drew in this wheelchair or my life forever, but it does mean that
31:31I have to find something to use against him sooner so that he can expose us when he miraculously recovers.
31:40I know she's got a lot going on, but I wasn't expecting Willow to push back on getting Drew an
31:44eye-tracking device.
31:46That is a little surprising.
31:47Yeah, maybe she'll think about it more and come around.
31:50I mean, it is important for Drew to be able to communicate beyond just yes and no.
31:57Or maybe Willow just doesn't want to hear what Drew has to say.
32:00Okay.
32:02I just want to be clear.
32:03I just want to be clear.
32:04You can't discuss Rocco's injury with anyone.
32:06I understand, doctor, patient confidentiality.
32:09Of course you do.
32:11And I appreciate your help.
32:13My friend called and asked me to treat her son.
32:16And I came.
32:16No questions asked.
32:18I don't know what happened to Rocco and I don't want to.
32:21But rest assured that as a doctor, I can't disclose that I came here to anyone that night.
32:29So, where does the investigation stand now?
32:32I asked ADA Turner to look into Isaiah Cannon.
32:37She said she will.
32:38Now, you can stay out of it and let the police do their job.
32:42Because if you investigate Isaiah, I'm sure that Portia will see that as personal animosity.
32:50That's a good point.
32:51But Laura, you know me.
32:52And you know I'm not very good at waiting around.
32:55Okay.
32:56So, put your attention where it is needed most on Jordan.
33:02Helping her get through this time.
33:05I'll certainly do my best.
33:07Good.
33:08And you know that I'm here for you in the meantime if you need anything.
33:12I mean anything.
33:14I know that.
33:17Okay.
33:18Anytime.
33:20Listen.
33:21Try to have a little bit of faith, okay?
33:24Whoever that driver was, the police will find them.
33:28And bring them to justice.
33:31If you and Chase really want to adopt Phoebe, I will help you.
33:35But it's not gonna be easy.
33:36Well, nothing worthwhile ever is.
33:39Okay.
33:40So, what are the steps that we have to take for a chance to adopt Phoebe officially?
33:45Well, first I recommend a private search for Phoebe's family.
33:48Because we just want to be sure.
33:50Okay.
33:51Yeah, we could do that.
33:52And while that's going on, we're gonna sit down and talk.
33:55Because the state is gonna do an extensive background check on you both.
33:59And we want to be prepared.
34:01Do you think we'll have a problem?
34:04Nobody's life is spotless.
34:06We just have to anticipate what the state is gonna dig up on you and have an explanation.
34:13In other words, you and Chase need to be ready to answer for everything that you've ever done.
34:20Would it be so bad if I did kill Jack?
34:23Yes.
34:24Why?
34:25Because you love him still?
34:26Oh my God.
34:26Will you stop with this whole jealousy thing?
34:29No.
34:29I don't love Jack.
34:32If you killed Jack, the WSB would be all over you.
34:34They wouldn't stop looking for you.
34:36So one way or another, you would have to disappear again.
34:39And I've already lost Jason.
34:41I can't...
34:43What?
34:45We stick to the plan.
34:48We exonerate you and we leave Jack holding the bag, okay?
34:53Then when we ambush Jack, we need something he fears more than either of us.
35:06What are you doing here?
35:07My mom owns this hotel.
35:09I used the master pass key to get in.
35:11I need to talk to you.
35:14How many times do I have to tell you to lay low?
35:17If Cullen finds out your WSB, you're dead.
35:20So literally for your own survival, you have to stay away from me.
35:23You're only concerned with my survival because you're in a relationship with my mother.
35:28And if something happens to me, she'll leave you.
35:30That's not true.
35:32Well, you're too late.
35:34You already lost her.
