00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30In the meantime, I'm going to give you a day that you'll never forget.
00:40I'm so glad we could both sneak away for a little while.
00:42Me too.
00:44And we work in the same building as this gorgeous hotel.
00:47It would be wrong not to take advantage of that.
00:50Very wrong.
00:51Do you have to leave so soon?
00:53Yeah, unfortunately, I have some work waiting for me back at the office.
00:56But you're the boss, and Nina's out of the office until they're meeting later this afternoon.
01:03That's a great point.
01:14Hey, Dad.
01:15Hey.
01:16Thanks for meeting me.
01:18I always look to see you.
01:19You said you wanted to see me right away.
01:21Everything okay?
01:23Yeah.
01:23Can't a girl just be excited to hang out with her dad?
01:26Yeah, especially when she wants to know about a friend of hers, and she may think her dad knows something.
01:35Okay, fine.
01:36You got me.
01:37What happened with Ethan after I left him with you and Rick?
01:51You know, some people are actually happy to see me.
01:54I'd ask for proof, but why?
01:57I'm just not one of you.
01:59I have one question, okay?
02:00And then I'll leave.
02:01Thank God for small mercies.
02:03What's the question?
02:07What do you know about Ethan Lovett?
02:11Hi.
02:11I am supposed to be meeting my stepdaughter here.
02:15We're having lunch.
02:16Is it possible that you seated her in the garden?
02:20The reservation's in the name of Lulu Spencer.
02:26Lulu won't be able to make it.
02:29Will I do instead?
02:37A hug.
02:40Not with all these valuables on.
02:45He, when Will leaves me alone with you,
02:50it's unsettling.
02:53You're unsettling.
02:57Would you stop with the blinking, please?
02:59Please.
03:00I know what you're trying to tell me.
03:03I know everything.
03:07Willow shot you.
03:09And when that didn't work to get you out of her life,
03:12she put you in that chair.
03:15Blink all you want, true.
03:18I'm not going to save you.
03:22Nobody's going to save you.
03:25One last meeting, and then you should be done for the day.
03:28Great.
03:28Thanks.
03:29You know, you have really become invaluable around here.
03:33At the house, too.
03:34Wiley can't stop raving about your baseball coaching,
03:37and Scout told me that you went to her swim meet to cheer her on.
03:41Wiley's a coach's dream.
03:42He catches on fast.
03:43And Scout might actually be part fish.
03:45I wouldn't say she's not.
03:48The kids really adore you.
03:51Well, I think they're pretty great.
03:52It's so nice having them with me,
03:55hearing about their days, you know?
03:58I bet.
03:59I'm just happy I couldn't be of help.
04:03That must be your next meeting.
04:09I'm Peter Sue Willow, okay?
04:11It's Congresswoman, Kate.
04:13But please, come in.
04:31So, you seem to be staying out of trouble.
04:35I haven't received any requests for ransom lately.
04:38Well, you know, I've appreciated all the times you've bailed me out.
04:41You make it sound like I've never repaid my debts.
04:43You were always reimbursed.
04:45You're right, I was.
04:47And how are you paying your debts back these days?
04:50And by that, I mean, what are you doing for money?
04:56Isn't that...
04:57Oh, and here I was worried it was going to be something sketchy.
05:01Don't ask questions you don't want answers to.
05:04Oh, but I do want the answer.
05:08Well, I'm doing a little work for Sonny.
05:13I had Rick talk to Ethan, ask him a few questions, feel him loud.
05:19And did you hire Ethan?
05:21Trial basis.
05:22We'll see how it goes.
05:24Okay, good.
05:25Jason gone.
05:26You need someone loyal around you.
05:28You don't have to worry about that because I have Rick.
05:30Rick?
05:31Rick is no Jason.
05:33He's the same liar he's always been.
05:35I know you don't like Rick, okay?
05:38But he is Molly's father.
05:40He's my brother.
05:42We've worked things.
05:44Why are you so hostile?
05:45Hostile?
05:46I'm not hostile.
05:48Can we just drop it, actually?
05:50No, until you tell me what's really going on.
05:52Dad.
05:52I just want to understand.
05:53You can't trust Rick.
05:55Not after what he did to me and my mom.
05:59Why do you want to know about Ethan Lovett?
06:02He showed up on Sonny's doorstep last night, looking for a job.
06:07Wow.
06:09Okay.
06:10Did he hire him?
06:12Christina was there and she advocated for it.
06:14Christina knows he's back.
06:15Oh, she certainly does.
06:17And she is thrilled that he's back in town.
06:20Well, they have quite a history.
06:22Still doesn't explain why you want to know about Ethan.
06:27Sonny wants me to vet him.
06:29So you're coming to me for a character reference?
06:32Well, I thought maybe you would have some kind of insight or at the very least an opinion.
06:35You never seem to be short on those.
06:37Oh, well, I do, actually.
06:40I like him.
06:42He's certainly a lot more trustworthy than you.
06:45Where do you want to start the tour?
06:46Ah, well, you're the one who grew up here, so I'm putting myself in your hands.
06:51And yes, I've been here before, but never with you.
06:53And this time, I want the full geo experience.
06:57Well, you know, we could wander this city for years and years and never see it all.
07:01Well, then we better get started.
07:05I'm sorry.
07:06I really am.
07:07But you did this to yourself.
07:08You did.
07:09I wish we could let the drugs wear off so you're out of this creepy state.
07:14But we can't.
07:15We can't.
07:17Because you will use what you know about Willow to your advantage.
07:22And give your eyelids a break.
07:25Because I know you.
07:27We all know you.
07:29Making Willow pay will be your first move.
07:31That's why we have to wait.
07:33To find a way to ensure that you can't retaliate against us.
07:37And then we will let you go.
07:40I am counting the days.
07:43Because no one will be more thrilled than me to have you out of our lives forever.
07:48I mean, you know, aside from Willow.
07:54Hold that, though.
08:01Hi.
08:01I'm here to check on our patient.
08:03How's he doing?
08:05And here you go.
08:07Thank you, Kai.
08:08If there's anything you need, let me know.
08:10Otherwise, I'll leave you to it.
08:11Actually, I do have a request.
08:13Would you be able to go by the house and give my mom a hand with Drew?
08:16It's his caregiver's day off, and I know she has a meeting to get to later.
08:19Sure.
08:19I'll head over there after I finish a couple things in the office.
08:21Great.
08:21I really appreciate it.
08:28Well, I am always happy to meet a congresswoman.
08:32But I must admit, I have no idea why I'm here.
08:35Why do you want to see me?
08:37Because it occurred to me that we are in a position to help one another.
08:42Or we could cause each other irreparable harm.
08:55You're incredible.
08:56You know that?
08:58I do.
08:59But keep talking.
09:00I mean it.
09:02You've been through a lot with me.
09:04I come with a lot of baggage.
09:07You've met some of it.
09:10For some reason, you're still here.
09:13Where else would I be?
09:19I should probably get dressed.
09:22I can hear my desk piling up with new and exciting tasks.
09:26I wouldn't want you to miss out on any excitement.
09:29I have a feeling I won't.
09:39With this angle, it's kind of hard to get both of us and the Marquis.
09:42Just try again.
09:43Try again.
09:44I can take your quota for you if you want.
09:46Oh, that would be great.
09:47Thank you.
09:48Yes.
09:48Yeah.
09:48Chris.
09:50Say, I love New York.
09:52I love New York.
09:54Perfect.
09:56Yeah.
09:59Christina has a complicated history.
10:01How so?
10:04She was in an abusive relationship when she was younger.
10:08With this kid, Kiefer.
10:21She didn't want any of us to know about it, so she hid it, and we weren't able to intervene.
10:27One night, he beat her up badly, and Ethan was the one that found her.
10:32He took her to the hospital, and Christina was scared, and she was worried what Kiefer would do to her
10:38if she named him.
10:40So she said that Ethan beat her up instead, and then he was arrested.
10:45So Christina let her hands her up.
10:47Do you want me to finish or not?
10:48Every word.
10:48I'm sorry.
10:49Please continue.
10:49Okay.
10:50So the truth came out.
10:52And Ethan had every reason to hate Christina, but he didn't because that's the kind of guy he is.
10:58He's just like his father, he's just like Luke, he's fiercely loyal, and he's the kind of guy that you
11:05want on your side.
11:07Okay, so he forgave her.
11:11Big deal.
11:12It is a big deal.
11:14Well, Kiefer's father was worse than Kiefer, and he went on a shooting spree, and he shot Ethan, and Ethan
11:20almost died.
11:21So Ethan, after all of this, still forgave Christina, which is why he has a place in my heart.
11:29So if you're asking me if he's the kind of guy that can be counted on, whether you like it
11:33or not, my answer is yes.
11:36What are you talking about?
11:38What did Rick do to you and your mother that got you so angry?
11:42It's just, it's stuff from the past, and it just builds up, and it spills over.
11:48Keep going.
11:50When he and Mom ended their marriage, they were at each other's throats, and I saw firsthand the pain and
11:56the stress that that caused her.
11:58And he was Ava's lawyer in the trial against me, and he got her off.
12:02So if I did a little hard to believe that you have forgiven him, I can't, and I never will.
12:08I understand that.
12:09And, you know, I get that you're, how you would feel that way with him defending Ava, but that was
12:16just Rick being a good lawyer.
12:18Well, Dad, if you want to use him as your lawyer, that's fine, but don't use him as anything else.
12:23I know that you want me to hire Ethan as my non-lawyer because you feel like you owe him,
12:28and I feel like I owe Luke.
12:30But being Luke's son is what got him through the door.
12:33If he wants to stay on my side, he's going to have to prove himself that he's reliable.
12:41He has to earn it.
12:44You just can't stay away from Sonny.
12:46You are your father's son.
12:50I miss him, too.
12:52I think about him every day.
12:54I know you do, too.
12:57Your father was one of a kind, and he lived every moment to the fullest.
13:05So should we.
13:08I'm so glad we decided to do this.
13:10As am I.
13:11It's not often like it's such a lovely lunch companion.
13:14That man with Tracy, something about him seems very familiar.
13:21I believe I recognize him.
13:26I'm sorry that Willow's not here.
13:27She got stuck in a meeting.
13:29Oh, it's fine.
13:29She just mentioned that the caregiver had the day off, so I thought I'd bring over some medical supplies.
13:34And I know it's not easy stepping into the caregiver role, so if you want a break, I am more
13:40than happy to spend some time with Drew.
13:43You know, actually, that would be great.
13:45I have a crimson call that I need to be on.
13:49So, yes.
13:50Okay, thank you.
13:51Yeah, sure.
13:52I will just be in the other room if you need anything.
13:58Take your time.
13:59You'll be fine.
14:02Hey.
14:05Hate to see you like this.
14:08But you look good.
14:11Though I heard Scout had an amazing swim meet last week.
14:15That must make you really happy.
14:18I'm sure you're super happy to just be here at home with Willow.
14:22You know, she's taking care of everything at the office.
14:26I mean everything.
14:27You must be really proud of her.
14:35Drew?
14:39Are you trying to tell me something?
14:43I assume by your desire to see me that Nina told you everything.
14:49She did.
14:50I know you have the footage placing me on Drew's street the night of his shooting and that you were
14:55blackmailing her to do your bidding or else you'd release it.
14:59But she also said she disarmed you.
15:03Let's just say that she made a compelling argument to let it go.
15:07I'm sure she did.
15:09But I don't share my mother's confidence that you'll simply forget about this.
15:13Though even if the footage were released, I wouldn't go to jail.
15:17Double jeopardy and all.
15:19No, that's true.
15:21But it would raise or confirm enough suspicion that you would lose your seat in Congress, not to mention your
15:29children.
15:30You're right.
15:31It probably would.
15:33And I know you don't care about me losing my kids.
15:36But you should care about me losing this office.
15:39And why is that?
15:41Because having me in this seat serves your interests as much as it does mine.
15:47You just don't know it yet.
15:54Yo, Jerry!
15:56Yo!
15:57What's going on, man?
15:58Black flag, no see.
15:59Michael told me you were coming, but I wasn't going to believe it until I saw it for myself.
16:03How you been?
16:04Good, man, good.
16:05This is my girlfriend, Emma Scorpio Drake.
16:08Hi, nice to meet you, Emma.
16:09First time seeing Aladdin.
16:10Yeah, it is.
16:11Awesome, well, Michael's waiting for you.
16:13You know the way.
16:16Welcome to a whole new world.
16:37Mia?
16:38Um, I don't.
16:39Not personally.
16:40He's the son of a former associate of mine, Holly Sutton and Luke Spencer.
16:45Of course.
16:46No, that's it.
16:47Now I see the likeness.
16:48Yeah, well, Holly made the unfortunate mistake of swindling me out of some very valuable property,
16:53so I took it upon myself to learn all about her.
16:58Well, I didn't realize that you and Holly had such an acrimonious parting.
17:01Yeah, well, I don't need to talk about her theft or her.
17:04It's just enough that I remember.
17:07Sounds like there's a lot of unfinished business there.
17:10But when someone crosses me, there's no going back.
17:14They become my enemy through the grave and beyond.
17:19Is that a warning?
17:21I certainly hope not.
17:23Well, I have no intention of crossing you, gents.
17:26And not only because we've become sort of close, but because, like you, I put a premium on loyalty.
17:35It means everything to me.
17:38It's probably why we get on so well.
17:42Probably.
17:45We should send them over a drink.
17:49Well, I think that would be an absolutely lovely thing to do.
17:53Yeah.
17:55I understand that you and Sonny have very strong allegiances to Luke, but neither of you are factoring in that
18:01Ethan is also Holly Sutton's son.
18:03Okay, yeah.
18:03And she happens to be an infamous con woman, and she trained Ethan and ran cons with him.
18:09Well, that's old news.
18:11And even if that's the case, Ethan's talents can be used to Sonny's advantage.
18:16Maybe.
18:17But he's a wild card, Alexis.
18:19Nobody really knows why he's back in Port Charles.
18:21What if he's here on behalf of one of Sonny's enemies?
18:26I've been thinking about the offer Agent Brennan made me.
18:29Hey, if I come through with whatever information he wants on Valentin, he'll come through for me with whatever he
18:37has on Willow.
18:38Look, I don't think it's a good idea for you to get mixed up with that guy.
18:41But I made you look guilty when our alibi got torn apart on the stand, and Agent Brennan says whatever
18:46he has on Willow can help make up for that.
18:49How can we say no to that?
18:51I so appreciate that you're willing to do that for me.
18:56I really am.
18:57But all that matters to me right now is having you by my side.
19:01Now, the best revenge against Willow is living my life and living it well.
19:06And with you and my kids.
19:08And I plan on doing just that.
19:13Okay, when you were in the hospital, we established that one blink meant yes and two means no, but this
19:18three-blinking thing, I don't know what it means.
19:21Are you trying to tell me something specific?
19:25Okay.
19:26Uh, say yes.
19:27I don't know what it could be.
19:36Okay, all right, that was three blinks fast, three slow, three fast, fast.
19:44Drew, is that an SOS?
19:46Are you asking for help?
19:52Oh, um, okay, well, what kind of help?
19:58Drew, what's wrong?
20:02Why would I care if you lose your congressional seat?
20:06I sit on the International Law Enforcement Appropriations Committee, which oversees U.S. funding for the WSB.
20:17I can expedite that funding, maybe even expand it, or I can make sure the WSB receives nothing.
20:24And when your superiors come to me asking why I blocked their funding request, I will say it was because
20:29of you.
20:30And your harassment.
20:33I can't imagine that would bode gold for your future with the agency.
20:35It might even result in you being relocated far away from Carly.
20:42Or they might just kick you to the curb altogether.
20:46Alternatively, I could lobby on the Bureau's behalf and sing your praises to anyone with ears.
20:58I didn't think you had this in yet.
21:01It's a mistake I won't make again.
21:05So all I have to do is make sure that footage of you on Drew's street, the night of the
21:09shooting, never sees the last day?
21:10That, and one more thing.
21:14I need evidence.
21:17Highly prejudicial evidence against your ex-husband, Michael, I assume.
21:21No, not Michael.
21:23True.
21:29This is incredible.
21:30It's pretty magical, right?
21:33Man, I love playing here.
21:35The acoustics are phenomenal.
21:38It's the oldest operating theater on Broadway and New York City.
21:42Landmark.
21:43It's beautiful.
21:44I can't believe that you weren't here.
21:46Yeah, it really is.
21:48This is supposed to be haunted.
21:51Okay.
21:54I guess we'll get back to that later.
22:00I know that you can never rule out anything in Sonny's world.
22:04But really, what is the likelihood of Sonny's enemy trying to recruit Ethan to go after him?
22:10And why would Ethan go along with him?
22:12Well, I don't know.
22:12You tell me you know him so well.
22:15I find that the simplest explanation is usually the one that makes the most sense.
22:20Because Sonny and Luke were partners and friends, and that's why Ethan is here.
22:25Oh, yeah, yeah, no, I don't think so.
22:27Look, I can't pin the guy down, but I am convinced that Ethan is running some kind of angle here.
22:32Why are you so determined to undermine Ethan?
22:35I just told you.
22:36I want to make sure that Sonny's not in a position of vulnerability.
22:40You know what I think?
22:41Please.
22:42I think this isn't about Ethan or Sonny's safety.
22:46I think this is about you.
22:50Hi.
22:50I'm so glad to see you.
22:51I know.
22:52Nice to see you, too.
22:53What are you guys doing here?
22:54Well, we're just taking advantage of the fact that we work in the same building now.
22:57Grabbing a late lunch.
22:59Oh.
23:00What are you guys up to?
23:02I was just talking to Dad about my old friend, Ethan Lovett, who's back in town, and he's
23:07going to be working for Dad.
23:10Oh, I'm sorry.
23:11We didn't know one of those.
23:12They're from the gentleman over there.
23:14He says he's a friend of your mother's.
23:18Jen's sin well.
23:20The man is at Pestilence.
23:21Yeah, I know who he is.
23:23That man nearly killed my mother, and Sasha, and Lucky.
23:32Ethan.
23:33I'm just going to go talk to him.
23:35Don't try to stop me.
23:36Oh.
23:37I wasn't going to.
23:38I was going to offer backup.
23:46What were you saying about the place being on it?
23:49They're on stage.
23:51Come on, Emma.
23:54Look at this place.
23:56It's beautiful.
23:57Towers of gold.
24:00Well.
24:01Mm.
24:02Mm.
24:04Mm.
24:05Mm.
24:11Hey, didn't Jerry say that Michael was supposed to be
24:13waiting for us?
24:20Oh.
24:24Oh.
24:24Oh.
24:27Gio.
24:27What's up?
24:28What's up?
24:29Michael.
24:29Oh, my gosh.
24:30Good to see you.
24:31Oh, this must be Emma.
24:32Hey.
24:33Welcome to New Amsterdam Theater and to Agrabah.
24:36We don't come this way.
24:37Let's show you some more.
24:37Hey.
24:38It's got to be at show.
24:42I'm so sorry.
24:43I don't know what you're trying to tell me.
24:45This must be really frustrating for you.
24:49You know, there are other tools you can be using to communicate besides blinking.
24:56And from what I see here, I think you're ready for them.
24:59I'm going to talk to Willow about it.
25:01What do you need to speak to Willow about?
25:09So what kind of evidence are you looking for against Drew?
25:13I'm not picky.
25:14Whatever you can find.
25:15If I know Drew, he's mixed up in all sorts of illegal things.
25:19Bribes, foreign money, kickbacks.
25:21Who knows what?
25:23So I need everything you can find on him.
25:26At the very least, I need to know if he had any connection to Judge Herron's death.
25:31So you still have it out for your husband, huh?
25:34It wasn't enough that you shot him?
25:38Gorgeous.
25:39Well, Sparkle.
25:40You said you wanted Sparkle.
25:41I'm going to give you some Sparkle.
25:42These pants.
25:43These pants.
25:441,500 Svorsky crystals.
25:46Michael, where have you been?
25:48They've called 15.
25:49It's time for you to get your jeannie makeup on.
25:51Okay, I'm going to make us your own name.
25:58Oh, hey, I meant to text you.
26:00We are doing another open mic night at Charlie's, and no pressure, obviously,
26:03but I'd love to have you sing again if you're up for it.
26:06Maybe I will.
26:07It was a lot of fun.
26:09So Christina's convinced that Ethan can fill in for Jason, but something tells me you aren't.
26:16No one can fill Jason's shoes.
26:17I need somebody good who I can trust until he comes back.
26:21That's a smart move.
26:23But Ethan's his track record.
26:26He's erratic.
26:28He's going to have to prove himself reliable.
26:31What about your?
26:35Passes the pass, as far as I'm concerned.
26:39Mr. Sidwell.
26:41Ethan loved it, at long last.
26:44I'm sorry, but I can't accept drinks from someone who's repeatedly tried to harm my family.
26:48I was just watering under the bridge.
26:51Besides, Holly and Sasha are in France now.
27:00They're living in this adorable, quaint little countryside cottage, aren't they?
27:06Peace is good, Mr. Sidwell.
27:09It's far better than the alternative.
27:11The alternative could cost someone a lot.
27:14Oh!
27:15Oh, now, now.
27:16There's no need for threats, Mr. Lovett.
27:18Nor is there any need for veiled ones, either.
27:22Oh, hi, Tracy.
27:23It's always such a pleasure.
27:24I see that Mr. Sidwell.
27:26The arrangement is, uh, mutually, uh, beneficial.
27:31You know what?
27:32This conversation is making me miss Lucy Coe.
27:35Words I never thought I'd say.
27:36Let's go enjoy our lunch.
27:43Michael is so sweet.
27:44Now I can't wait for the show to start.
27:46Oh, and we have great tea snakes and Michael.
27:49He's like a supernova in human form.
27:52But you know what's really funny?
27:54I actually never seen his full performance or the whole show.
27:59It's weird.
27:59I mean, I was always watching the conductor or looking at my music.
28:03But tonight, we'll be in the audience and not the orchestra pit.
28:08Do you think maybe we could go down there before the show starts?
28:11Kind of want to see what it's like to be a Broadway musician.
28:17Your wish is my command, princess.
28:20I should not like hearing you say that as much as I do.
28:24I don't see any point in rehashing the past, Chief Brennan.
28:28Or should I say Director Brennan?
28:31Depending on how you play this.
28:34Ah, now you're dangling a promotion.
28:36I'm just illustrating possibilities.
28:40Drew's trying to communicate with me.
28:42And not just yes or no, it's more.
28:43He's blinking three times.
28:56Three times fast and then three times slow and then fast again.
29:00I think it's like an SOS.
29:02Oh.
29:03Are you sure?
29:04Because it's funny.
29:05He's never done that in front of me.
29:07I mean, maybe it's just reflexive movements.
29:12Um, excuse me.
29:14Yeah.
29:19Hi.
29:20Hi, Kai.
29:21Uh, come in.
29:24Oh, Nurse Baldwin.
29:25Hello.
29:25Uh, please call me Elizabeth.
29:27Uh, Willow sent me to relieve you so you can go to your meeting.
29:30And I don't think she knew Elizabeth was here.
29:32But you guys are both busy.
29:33I'm happy to sit with Drew until Willow gets here.
29:35No, no, that's okay.
29:36I just had a call that covered most of what my meeting was about.
29:39I'm just gonna call everyone and just cancel it.
29:42But I'm really glad you're here because I was just telling Nina that Drew's trying to tell us something.
29:48We just need to figure out what.
29:56This is right where I used to sit.
29:58Right next to the conductor.
30:00You know, it is crazy to me that your summer job in high school was playing in the orchestra for
30:03a Broadway musical.
30:06It makes my volunteering at the animal shelter look a little thick.
30:10No, no.
30:11Say that.
30:11That's not true at all.
30:13Giving those scared animals the love and comfort that they needed.
30:18You made the world a better place for a while.
30:21Tried.
30:23You know, subbed for the whole summer.
30:26More than once, my entire family came and filled up the whole orchestra section.
30:32Are you nervous?
30:34Well, I can accelerate this.
30:37I get this huge rush of adrenaline.
30:40And then when the lights go down, the audience gets quiet.
30:43The conductor, he raises his baton.
30:45And just like that, you're off to the races on this train that just doesn't stop for the next two
30:49hours.
30:49It's...
30:51Amazing.
30:53You wish you were playing tonight?
30:57No.
30:59It's nothing beats getting to see the show with you tonight.
31:08Aladdin Company, this is your 15-minute call.
31:10The call is 15 minutes, 15 minutes to the top of the show, 15.
31:15I'll get to our scenes.
31:39Don't give that Ethan character another thought.
31:42You are grieving a tremendous loss right now.
31:47Absolutely right.
31:48I've got far too much going on to be distracted by Holly Sutton's spawn.
31:55Far more pleasant things, in fact.
31:58I detest that man.
32:01And in addition to everything else, he has wormed his way into deception.
32:07So, buy it back.
32:08It's not like you're lacking in funds.
32:11It's complicated.
32:11I can't do that.
32:13So, let me take care of him.
32:15Oh, no, no, no, no.
32:16You're not going to do that.
32:17He's way out of your league.
32:19Oh, don't be so sure.
32:20I have learned a thing or two in my time away.
32:23There are plenty of ways to handle a man like that.
32:28Ethan, I loved your father very much.
32:33And one of the hardest things I ever had to do was grieve him.
32:40Please don't make me grieve you, too.
32:44Don't do this.
32:47I make no promises.
32:50Your father never did, either.
32:56I know you, Rick.
32:58You have sabotaged every relationship that you've ever had.
33:02Because nothing is ever good enough for you.
33:04Because you don't think you're good enough.
33:07And then you try and control everything.
33:09And you can't.
33:10And you can't control Sonny.
33:12So, don't try.
33:13Just stop.
33:16Just stop.
33:17Just let something be enough.
33:25Well, I guess after all these years,
33:28you really do know me.
33:33Christina seems excited about her friend being back in town.
33:37Yeah.
33:38She and Ethan have a
33:41long, complicated past.
33:42But in the end, Ethan really came through for it.
33:45I know she was sad when he left town.
33:47And now he's back.
33:48Maybe things are turning around for the both of you.
33:51Well, from where I'm sitting, things are already pretty great.
33:54I agree.
33:55That's why I'm determined to get Charlotte to open up to me about her father.
33:59I'll give Brennan what he wants, and he'll give me whatever he has on Willow.
34:03Jacinda Willow's my problem.
34:05Okay, it's on me to deal with her.
34:08You've, uh, spent some time with Jacinda when I was here, your brother.
34:12Are they...
34:13getting serious?
34:16I don't know, you'd have to ask them.
34:18Molly and I were skeptical about Jacinda at first,
34:21in part because of how they met and who Michael is.
34:24But I've gotten to know her, and
34:27she's a smart girl.
34:28She's funny, too.
34:30And she really, really cares about Michael.
34:35The thing about Jacinda is what you see is what you get.
34:39Unlike Willow, who turned out to be a completely different person.
34:45I'll see what I can dig up on, Drew.
34:48I have to ask you, though, why you want leverage against a man who can't move or speak and probably
34:53never will again.
34:55What I do or don't do with that information is my business, not yours.
35:09Cole, I'm telling this to kick you off a little bit, and it totally makes sense.
35:14It does?
35:15Yeah, of course.
35:16But, you know, Drew trying to communicate with us is a good thing, especially given his prognosis.
35:22And trust me, I'm a little overwhelmed with what's happening, and I work with patients with similar issues.
35:29Overwhelmed is one word for it.
35:33I think it's time to explore alternate methods of communication.
35:37Like what?
35:39There are eye-tracking devices and letter boards.
35:43I just really think, given the right tools, Drew will be communicating with us a lot sooner than we all
35:49thought.
35:50But Willow will be so excited to hear about that.
35:55Mmm.
36:01With sweet granola and salty nuts, it's Nature Valley.
