00:01How's it going with the bathroom check on Ethan? Did you find anything interesting?
00:08Uh, yeah, it's all interesting. It seems that since leaving Port Charles, Ethan's been all over the world.
00:14He's taken odd jobs, you know, run a bunch of cons. The picture I'm getting is he's a guy who
00:19goes where the money is.
00:21Seems pretty accurate.
00:24Listen, I know that you're giving him the benefit of Dr. Luke's sake, but everything that I found out about
00:30this guy suggests that he can definitely be bought.
00:33And you and I both know that some of your enemies have very deep pockets.
00:38When you say enemies, do you mean Jen Sidwell?
00:44I have a lead on a piece from an old friend, and she is willing to sell it off market,
00:50and it's perfect for Windermere.
00:53Oh, marvelous.
00:55Now, the pictures don't do it justice, though. And I am a little worried about you spending this kind of
01:01money on something you haven't seen in person.
01:03Mm-hmm.
01:05So, what do you think about flying down to St. Barts and taking a walk?
01:12And even if you decide it's not your liking, we're gonna be in St. Barts!
01:15St. Barts!
01:16They have all kinds of fun!
01:17St. Barts? I love St. Barts. Okay.
01:21When do we leave? Mmm, the coconut blamage. Divine.
01:30So, you needed us here to talk about James?
01:33Our co-hai has an upcoming belt test in his karate class. James has been working so hard to prepare.
01:39I want to throw him a party to celebrate.
01:42And we needed to talk about that here?
01:45Yes, because I had the perfect idea for a host.
01:49And here she is now.
02:01What do you think about rosemary-rubbed lamb?
02:04Oh, it depends. Who's cooking? You or me? Because either way, it's iffy.
02:09Um...
02:09Are you okay?
02:11Yes. Yeah, yeah. Um, I just wasn't expecting you. Did you let yourself in?
02:16Like I always do?
02:19Oh, is that gonna be a problem coming forward?
02:22I always love seeing you anytime.
02:26But?
02:28Advanced notice would be appreciated.
02:31Got it.
02:32And believe me, I don't want to walk in with you and your mystery man side man any more than
02:39you want me to.
02:41How many times do I have to tell you to lay low?
02:43No. If Cullum finds out you're WSB, you're dead.
02:47So for your literal survival, you have to stay away from me.
02:50You are only concerned with my survival because you're in a relationship with my mother.
02:55And if something happens to me, she'll leave you.
02:57That's not true.
02:59Well, it's too late.
03:02You already lost her.
03:04What are you talking about?
03:06I haven't lost your mother.
03:07Yes, you did.
03:08She moved on with another man.
03:34I would love to host a party for James.
03:40I would love to host a party for James.
03:40I am very proud of that young man.
03:42Of course you are.
03:43We all are.
03:44Thank you, Nina.
03:46Yes, I would do anything for him.
03:48So, do we have a date for this?
03:53Not yet.
03:54But I think it's important that we discuss my vision.
03:58Okay.
03:59I'm seeing caterers, a trampoline, hot dogs and hamburgers, and a water balloon war for James and the other children
04:08to keep them entertained.
04:09And for the adults, champagne flights.
04:13An oyster bar and a caviar station.
04:16Yeah, I really love your enthusiasm and how specific your vision is, but there's nowhere to put a trampoline in
04:27my penthouse or to entertain a water balloon more.
04:32But we'll definitely celebrate James' achievement.
04:36Yeah, we'll do it up big.
04:38Big.
04:38Big.
04:39The most important thing is that James shares this milestone with Nathan.
04:44The memories that a son makes with his father are irreplaceable.
04:51Lucy, please don't let us tear you away from deception and all the other stuff you have going on.
04:59Yeah, the trip to St. Bart's is strictly business.
05:02We're hoping to acquire a rather sought-after piece before it hits the open market.
05:09Wow.
05:10Really?
05:10Yet another piece of art.
05:12You know, I would think that all the walls at Windermere would be completely filled in by now.
05:17Well, if you knew Windermere like I do, you would know how many there actually are.
05:23Oh, Ava, I am so sorry.
05:26I just can't get away.
05:27My next two weeks, oh, absolutely slammed.
05:31Hmm, that is too, too bad.
05:34I will, in another time.
05:38I'd love that.
05:40And so you win.
05:42Hey, you know what?
05:43Since the two of us are here together right now, I just have a teeny, weeny, tiny bit of deception
05:51business I think that we should discuss.
05:53Um, and you, you of course would not be interested at all, I really don't think so.
05:58Ah!
05:59On the contrary.
06:00I'm a businesswoman.
06:02A savvy one at that.
06:05I'd love to sit in.
06:06How wonderfully generous of you.
06:12You're a suspicious man, Rick, and I know you're just trying to look out for me, but I can tell
06:16you right now, Luke's son would never sell me out.
06:21Well, how about Holly Sutton's?
06:24Look, Jen Sidwell is in possession of evidence that can tie you and Laura to Professor Dalton's death.
06:32And now Sidwell is preoccupied right now, mourning his son's murder, which he wrongly believes that you had something to
06:38do with.
06:38I know, Sonny, that he is willing to do anything to pay you back for taking what he feels you
06:47took from him.
06:47Okay, so now is not the time to take a chance on an old friend's son and bringing him into
06:54your inner circle.
06:55Things are too precarious right now.
06:56Things are always precarious.
06:57Okay, more so than that's why you should be extra careful right now.
07:01Why are you willing to risk everything on a gamble that you don't need to make?
07:10I should have never told you about him to begin with.
07:12Well, you didn't. Well, not technically at least. You had to tell me because I found his shaving tip razor.
07:17I didn't have to.
07:18Well, yeah, I guess you could have lied.
07:20Don't I get points for telling the truth?
07:23Why are you having this guy's stuff shipped to your place anyway?
07:27Is he staying here?
07:28Of course not.
07:30Then we might be having this conversation just in time.
07:34Whatever you have going on with this mystery man, you need to end it.
07:39Now.
07:41I don't know what you think you're trying to accomplish here, Agent Jax, but I don't believe you.
07:47The suggestion's ridiculous. Carly wouldn't cheat on me.
07:50Look, I know you don't want to hear it, but it's the truth.
07:53You're mad at me.
07:55You're mad at me because I demoted you to sleeper status and now you're lashing out you're trying to hurt
07:59me.
08:00This has nothing to do with that.
08:02The WSB didn't work out the way you wanted and now you're trying to drive a wedge between me and
08:07your mother.
08:07No, that is not true.
08:09If it was, I would have said something months ago when you originally assigned me sleeper status.
08:15Okay, so what is this then?
08:16When you show up at my hotel unannounced and uninvited, which is not just stupid, it is dangerous.
08:21Nobody knows I'm here, nobody ever will.
08:24You trained me to cover my tracks better than that, no?
08:28Okay, so if this isn't retaliation, what is this?
08:32It's a heads up.
08:33I'm telling you the truth.
08:36The truth you don't want to hear.
08:40Couldn't go jump on this call and I will tell my assistant to look into vendors for the party first
08:45thing in the morning.
08:46Good morning.
08:47Good morning, sir.
08:50Alright, we'll speak soon, brother.
08:52Yeah.
09:00I need a minute with your sister.
09:02Oh, good.
09:04You should go.
09:05Save yourself.
09:07Okay.
09:08Uh, for the record, I like the smaller, simpler party idea that we settled on.
09:14I'm pretty sure Max and his family will too.
09:16Oh, and do not tell James that he almost got a trampoline for his party.
09:21Okay.
09:22I wouldn't dream of it.
09:23Okay.
09:24Bye, mom.
09:29Good luck.
09:33Well, mother, whatever you got, let's hear it.
09:36I have patient files waiting at my office.
09:38They're not as important as wearing the perfect shoes, but some people think they matter.
09:42I'm sure some people do.
09:44I simply want to know why my own daughter failed to show me any support just now.
09:49What are you talking about?
09:51I'm here.
09:53I listened.
09:54I contributed.
09:56But if you had helped me convince Nathan, this party could have been a huge, grand affair.
10:01But you didn't.
10:03And now we'll all be eating pizza and compressed chicken bits off of paper plates.
10:08We'll have salad.
10:10James will just be happy that everyone is together celebrating him.
10:15Why is it so important to have some big fancy party?
10:19Because I want James to have the opposite of the horrible childhood I gave you and the one Nathan had
10:24with Madeline.
10:26I want something beautiful for James to look back on and remember.
10:30Nathan is such a wonderful father.
10:33Nothing like his own.
10:35What does father have to do with any of this?
10:39Why are you bringing him up right now?
10:41Cesar is on my mind because someone has been asking questions about him.
10:47Him and your brother.
10:50My gut is telling me that I can trust him.
10:54But I hear what you're saying, so I just gotta make sure.
10:59Right.
11:00So test him.
11:01See what he does.
11:02What are you thinking?
11:04Offer him money.
11:05You know?
11:06A payoff to get out of town.
11:08If he's for sale, and I think he is, he'll take it.
11:11How much?
11:12I don't know.
11:1350,000?
11:14I mean, it's a drop in the bucket for you, but it'll definitely peak Eaton's interest.
11:19What if he doesn't take it?
11:20Well, then he'll know where he stands.
11:21But I'm guessing that he will take that money and scurry out of town just as fast as he got
11:26here.
11:27Look, you can also frame it as a way to honor Luke.
11:30Just say, now is not the time for Ethan to work for you, and the money is your way of
11:35keeping him out of harm's way.
11:38Not a bad idea.
11:53Jocelyn, your mother and I do have a very complicated relationship, but as hard as it is for you to
11:58accept, we love each other.
11:59No, you used to.
12:01Or my mom did.
12:02But she never really forgave you for letting me get so close to Vaughn?
12:06I mean, my proximity to him put me in danger, and you never said anything.
12:10That betrayed her trust, and once that happened-
12:12We worked through that.
12:13And Jason, Jason is one of the closest people to her, and the Bureau arrested him and shipped him off
12:20using a very, very loose interpretation of due process.
12:25Jason's arrest had nothing to do with me. I didn't even know what was happening.
12:28And as soon as I found out, I risked my career to track him down to her.
12:33If you thought that was going to fix everything, then you never knew my mother.
12:37Carly Spencer does not forgive easily, and she never forgets.
12:42That was the beginning of then for you.
12:45Okay, well, uh, you wouldn't come here with these claims if you didn't have proof, so...
12:52Who is it?
12:54Give me your name.
13:01I'm sorry, am I interrupting?
13:03Not at all.
13:04Can't wait to hear about your little excursion.
13:08He's watching, uh, Lucy go for me.
13:12Oh, I see.
13:13I assume that's why you're here.
13:15Yeah, um, so, Lucy met up with Ava Jerome and Jen's sit-ball at the Metro Court Gardens.
13:24Oh.
13:25Why do you need somebody to tail Lucy?
13:28Uh, I thought you severed your connection with deception.
13:31Well, because Lucy's a good friend of mine, and I always look out for her, even though she gets herself
13:36in a lot of trouble.
13:38Yeah, she certainly does.
13:39And his involvement with Sidwell, I keep warning her, but she said, he's a nice guy, and I'm thinking, nice
13:47guy?
13:48When he refused to choose between her and Ava, she was very angry.
13:55I'm sure she bluffed, and she's mad now that he didn't choose her.
13:59Yeah, now she's going after him.
14:02She is pretending to have this interest in him.
14:06Meanwhile, behind the scenes, she's cutting him out of deception.
14:12Hmm.
14:13Now that's going to get ugly.
14:15Yeah.
14:16That is a valid fear.
14:18What did you see?
14:20Uh, it was tense.
14:22It all sort of makes sense now, when two women circling around one man never ends well.
14:33Why don't you just leave?
14:35You know, because I would love to have a dinner with Jens all alone for once.
14:41And I'm sure you have another attempted murder trial to perhaps prepare for.
14:45It's sad, really.
14:49Using your company and Jens' pity investment as an excuse to hover around him, try and stay relevant.
14:56Hmm.
14:57Well, it is not pity I see in Jens' eyes when he looks at me.
15:03Look harder.
15:05For God's sake, have some dignity, woman.
15:08Step aside gracefully.
15:10Why would I do that?
15:11Don't be silly.
15:11Because he's made it abundantly clear he has no interest in choosing between the two of us, which is fine
15:20by me.
15:21Well, clearly not.
15:22Since you crashed our date.
15:24I didn't crash it.
15:26I just walked in and happened to see you.
15:27And boy, the look on Jens' face, it was clear.
15:30He needed rescuing.
15:33So if you feel a little threatened by my presence, or you just can't think of possibly one more item
15:41of art to sell to the poor man,
15:44maybe you should just bow out.
15:47I'm not going anywhere.
15:50Unlike the two of you, Jens and I have a meaningful connection.
15:56So you don't mind sharing them?
15:58I have no intention of sharing anything with you, Lucy.
16:01It's only a matter of time before Jens rids himself of you once and for all.
16:06In fact, maybe it's time I had a little chat with him about that.
16:11When he does respect my business advice, maybe I should tell him it's time to walk away from deception.
16:18Are you serious?
16:19You really wouldn't do that, would you?
16:22I absolutely would.
16:25And I will.
16:30Who's been talking to you about Father Nathan?
16:33Jocelyn Jacks.
16:35Such an irritating girl.
16:37Pokes her nose into all sorts of places it doesn't belong.
16:40The whole family's like that.
16:48But as it happens, I was already thinking of your father.
16:53Because Felicia asked me to visit Anna at the clinic in France.
16:58To convince her that Faison is dead and that her hallucinations of him weren't real.
17:04I didn't realize she asked you to do that.
17:07I was reconsidering her request when that Jacks girl cornered me.
17:12Started asking me questions about Cesar and about Nathan's last seven years.
17:20She seemed to be suggesting that his disappearance and miraculous return were not what they seemed.
17:30I told her that my beloved son is a hero who was bravely protecting the love of his life when
17:35he was shot by his own father.
17:38All that matters to me now is that my son is home.
17:44And that he's the same young man I've always loved.
17:48I just thank God we have Nathan back.
17:53Why are you doing this?
17:54I thought we understood each other.
17:56We did.
17:57But then I had a talk with Christina about love and loss and how to best honor those who just
18:04aren't with us anymore.
18:08And it reminded me of how much I love you.
18:10You mean too much to me to watch you endanger yourself for some guy again.
18:17Okay, so all that talk about, you know, respecting my decisions.
18:21Well, at the time, I meant it.
18:24But we both know you have a weakness for dangerous men.
18:28Sonny is at the top of that list.
18:30But there have been others.
18:31Most recently your WSB boyfriend.
18:34You almost lost your life at the hands of Valentin Cassidyne because of Jack Brennan.
18:40Yes, I know.
18:41I remember.
18:42I think about that night a lot.
18:44Good.
18:44You should.
18:45You should.
18:46Because it almost ended with your children losing their mother.
18:51And the thing that makes it even more tragic is that it never had to happen.
18:55This is your chance to break the pattern.
18:59I just lost the man I love.
19:03I'm so scared of losing you too.
19:06So please, if you can't do this for you, do it for me.
19:14I don't know his name.
19:16Thankfully, my mother doesn't confide in me about who she's sleeping with.
19:20But I think if you slow down and you think about it, you'll see that I'm right.
19:26How so?
19:27Well, she's been slipping away at weird hours.
19:30She's been distant.
19:31She's been vague.
19:33She says she's going to one place.
19:35She shows up at another.
19:37There's something different about her.
19:39And if I can see it, I know you can.
19:43There's a lightness.
19:45You know, there's a happiness, something that says things have changed and you're not the one she's thinking of anymore.
19:56You know, I'm right.
20:02And that's why you came here to tell me this.
20:05No, actually, I came to talk about Nathan West.
20:07I wanted to see if there was any update into the investigation of his missing seven years and if there
20:12was a link to phase on.
20:14But then you started reprimanding me and things went sideways and here we are.
20:20Well, you're a sleeper agent.
20:22The questions you're asking are above your pay grade.
20:25That's fine.
20:27Keep me in the dark.
20:29Everything I said has nothing to do with business.
20:33Although it was a pleasure enlightening you.
20:46So I'm going to head out.
20:49Go give some more consideration to what we discussed earlier.
20:53Yep.
20:55Great.
20:57You good?
21:11How do you feel being back home?
21:13Settling in.
21:15Yeah, definitely.
21:17I mean, I didn't realize how much I missed this place.
21:22I went to Bobby's earlier.
21:25Go to Burger.
21:29It's even better than I remember.
21:32That place never disappoints.
21:35No?
21:36There are places like other places that they don't live up to what you thought of them in your memory.
21:48What are you trying to say, Sonny?
21:50What I'm trying to say is if you came to Port Charles to get some quick cash, then there's no
21:57reason to do any song and dance.
22:01If you're in some kind of trouble, you're in a tight spot financially, then I want to take care of
22:10this cleanly.
22:12You just go ahead, go.
22:16Now, out of respect for Luke.
22:20I appreciate what you're saying.
22:25But correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds like you're trying to pay me off to leave town.
22:32$30,000 is a lot of money to fix your problems and get on the next plane.
22:41No strings, no obligation.
22:44I'm just doing something good for my friend's son.
22:53Money is great, okay?
22:56I love money.
22:58Don't get me wrong, right?
23:00But I can make it anywhere.
23:02There's only one Port Charles.
23:05So...
23:07I appreciate...
23:09what you're offering me, but...
23:12I am absolutely gonna have to pass.
23:15Well, that's that.
23:22This was a test, wasn't it?
23:29Yeah, I'm sure Rick was the one who suggested it, right?
23:33He told you to pay me off to leave town.
23:37Why would you say that?
23:38Come on.
23:41Rick doesn't trust me, you know.
23:44Maybe.
23:46But I do.
23:50I got another job for you.
23:52I would do anything for you.
23:55You have to know that.
23:59But...
23:59Your impression of the man I'm seeing is just way off.
24:03Yes, he's dangerous, but he's not dangerous to me.
24:08He's not.
24:08He looks out for me and he protects me.
24:11You used to say the same thing about Sonny.
24:13This is different.
24:15It is, and I'm good for him, too.
24:18You know, we're like, keep each other in check.
24:21We stop each other from leaning into our worst instincts.
24:25Well, I do like that.
24:28Anyone who can write you in is something.
24:30Okay.
24:32What?
24:33So far there has only been one name on that list.
24:37Jason.
24:38And now...
24:41Mystery Man?
24:44If this guy is...
24:47Is so good for you...
24:49Then why can't you be together?
24:52We're just not at a place where we can do that.
24:55You dating a WSB agent might have something to do with that.
25:00What exactly...
25:01Will Brennan do?
25:04If he finds out that you're cheating on him?
25:07Send you to...
25:08Some black site somewhere?
25:11That's not something I'm thinking about at this moment.
25:15But if it happens, I'll handle it.
25:19And my Mystery Man...
25:21As you call him...
25:24He will help.
25:26I'm telling you.
25:28I can trust him.
25:31And he will stand by my side.
25:34I'm sure of it.
25:38You really have fallen for him, haven't you?
25:49I'm telling you the truth.
25:51A truth you don't want to hear.
25:52But I think if you slow down and you think about it...
25:55You'll see that I'm right.
25:57I just wanted to make sure you and Donna were okay.
26:00Donna, that's nice.
26:03I thought you left earlier to pick her up.
26:06Yeah, I did.
26:07I was just such an idiot.
26:09I got there and I messed the dates up.
26:14I was hoping to be chivalrous and take care of both of you.
26:17Oh.
26:18It's just me.
26:21And then you're drinking for two?
26:33Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
26:35I probably should have called to make an appointment, but I figured you were going to say you're busy.
26:40And I only need one minute.
26:42Jocelyn, as it turns out, I do have a lot of work to do, so maybe we can spar another
26:47day.
26:48No, I come in peace.
26:50Look, I brought you a skinny vanilla latte.
26:54I think I remember you ordering this once at Bobby's.
26:58Is it laced with arsenic?
27:00No, but there's whipped cream on top and it's delicious.
27:03Although it kind of defeats the purpose of a skinny latte.
27:08Look, I owe you an apology.
27:12Michael's marriage to Willow ending the way it did may have caused me to behave in a way that was
27:21completely insane and totally unhinged.
27:24I had my moments, but we all make mistakes, especially while protecting those we love.
27:33I'm not buying it, but I am curious.
27:40Fine.
27:42Why are you really here?
27:43I was actually hoping that I could get some advice from you about your brother, Nathan.
27:56What did I miss?
27:59What did I miss?
27:59Well, no worries, you didn't miss much.
28:01It was just Ava.
28:03Ava is insisting.
28:05She really wants to sing again at the nurse's booth this year.
28:10Oh, yes.
28:11Wonderful.
28:12Okay.
28:13We really do need to get back to the aforementioned deception business.
28:17Um, you know, there's just this shipment that causes me some concern.
28:24Um, we've received a lot of zinc items.
28:28A whole lot more than deception really needs.
28:30And so I just can't fathom where the overage is going.
28:34Lucy, please.
28:36Jen spends nearly every waking hour working.
28:40Let him have a little peace during what's supposed to be his leisure time.
28:44Oh, well, well, well.
28:46Mr. Sidwell?
28:48Ladies, uh, apologies for the interruption.
28:51May I steal Ava away for just a second?
28:53Oh, please.
28:54Your timing is impeccable.
28:57She is all yours.
28:59We'll just have to make do without Ava.
29:01I don't think so.
29:03Oh, come on, Ava.
29:05Old time set.
29:06It's five minutes.
29:07I promise.
29:09I won't hold you captive for long.
29:13All right.
29:14I'm here.
29:17What was so urgent you had to see me right away?
29:20I only lost half my night at work planning James' party.
29:22Well, you have bigger problems than missing a few hours of work.
29:26You're blowing it.
29:27How's that?
29:28This little performance of yours?
29:31Oh, I don't know. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it.
29:33Except you're not.
29:35Makes you say that.
29:36Because someone is asking questions about you,
29:39and if you're not careful, they're gonna get answers.
29:43Oh.
29:44You're talking about Jocelyn Jackson.
29:46My brother, what advice are you looking for?
29:50Oh, nothing major.
29:52Nathan and I worked out together the other day,
29:54and it was actually a really good workout.
29:57He totally pushed me.
29:59Man, it just shows how much I've been slacking.
30:01Would it devastate you deeply if I said I don't care?
30:06Anyways, I wanted to get him a thank you present,
30:09and maybe ask him to be my regular workout partner,
30:13but I realized I don't know him well enough to get him anything that he would like,
30:16and you're his sister, so you would.
30:19So you interrupted my work for gift ideas.
30:23Well, and any tips you have on how to approach him,
30:26because I don't want to come on too strong and scare him off.
30:31I know why you're here.
30:34You have a crush on my brother.
30:38I can't remember the last time I got a visit from a WSB agent.
30:42Should I call my lawyer?
30:44No, it's not an official visit.
30:46I'm just looking for a little intel.
30:51About your ex-wife.
30:56Having no lovely time with Jen is until you so rudely pulled me away.
31:01Oh.
31:03From the outside, it looked as if you were third wheeling it on the estate with Lucy.
31:09That's not what is happening here.
31:11If anybody's a third wheel, Lucy's a third wheel.
31:13Relax.
31:15You'll be very happy with what I have to tell you.
31:18Oh.
31:19Well, I could do something with you.
31:26Hmm.
31:27You know, um, Ava is actually right about one thing.
31:32You do deserve a break.
31:33So, why don't you let me take deception and this whole shipping mess off your plate?
31:40I couldn't possibly ask you to do that, Lucy.
31:44You're not asking.
31:45I'm offering and it's really not a problem because after all, I am the founder of deception.
31:50So, who else better to make everything run absolutely smoothly?
31:55Well, I really appreciate that.
31:58It's very thoughtful of you.
32:00But, I actually enjoy deception.
32:04You know, I find it to be a very useful little company.
32:11What makes you think I'm falling for anyone?
32:14I didn't say anyone.
32:16I said him.
32:16It's the look on your face when you talk about him.
32:18There is no look.
32:21It's a complicated situation.
32:23That's an understatement.
32:25Why are you pushing this on?
32:27You can lie to Jack.
32:30You can lie to me.
32:32I won't love it.
32:33But, Carly, you have to at least be honest with yourself.
32:39I'm not lying to myself about anything.
32:43Okay, so then you know how much this mystery man means to you.
32:48Otherwise, you wouldn't risk Brennan's wrath by seeing him behind his back.
32:53He is not going to be happy when he finds out.
32:57Most people wouldn't.
32:58Yeah, but most people don't have the resources Brennan does.
33:01He can ruin your life without breaking a sweat.
33:07He can destroy everything that you worked so hard for.
33:12And you.
33:14I'm aware.
33:16That's why I'm going to make sure that Jack never finds out.
33:21How, uh, how much have you been seeing Carly lately?
33:29Pickups, drop-offs, we're both very busy, Jack.
33:34Too busy to talk about Jason, the man you both call your best friend?
33:38Maybe she hasn't gotten around to it, but if Carly's not talking to you about it,
33:43how come I'm talking to you about it?
33:47Have you noticed her having any unexplained absences,
33:50time she was supposed to be someplace and wasn't?
33:51Have you caught her in any lies?
33:55Jack.
33:58You're not talking like somebody who's suspicious.
34:01You're talking like somebody who's very, very jealous.
34:05Now, if that's what you're going for, fine.
34:07If you think Carly's cheating on you or lying,
34:11maybe, just maybe, she just wised up and figured out that you're bad news.
34:25No, no, no, no, no, no. I am not into Nathan like that.
34:29And he's with Lulu. I would never go after someone else's guy.
34:34Well, good, because he would never step out on Lulu.
34:37My brother is the kindest, most loyal man I know.
34:42That's always been my impression of him.
34:45That's why I was surprised when Maxie woke up.
34:49He didn't get back together with her.
34:51Instead, he moved on with Lulu.
34:52Well, there's no confusion about it.
34:55My brother just bowed out gracefully for Maxie and the family.
34:59She has long since moved on with Spinelli and created a family with him.
35:04My brother wasn't going to dispute her decision because he was being his usual selfless self.
35:14Sounds like it.
35:17I guess what Maxie and Nathan had was really special.
35:22Yeah, it was.
35:24Yeah, I was too young to really spend a lot of time with them.
35:28But what do you think it was that made their love story so epic?
35:36Why do you want to know?
35:40Ducks.
35:43You know, I thought that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him.
35:50But, and Maxie went through something similar, but she went through it pregnant.
35:59And, you know, I still really struggle with Dex being gone.
36:04And on the hard days, I tell myself, Maxie did it.
36:09Maxie got through that somehow, pregnant.
36:13And I just, um...
36:17Yeah, I don't know how.
36:18I don't know how to do that.
36:20Yeah, it was terrible for all of us, especially Maxie.
36:24Yeah, I can't even imagine.
36:27I guess that's why I'm curious about Maxie and Nathan's relationship, because I feel like I see similarities in my
36:35own life.
36:36But I know it's stupid.
36:38I just...
36:39No, no.
36:40It's completely understandable.
36:42Grief, it comes in waves at unexpected times.
36:48It's just...
36:50Maxie and Jay, they always seem so perfect for each other.
36:53They laughed a lot more than they ever argued.
36:57You know, he has this story he likes to tell.
37:00He must have told me a hundred times about how they got handcuffed on the 4th of July, and they
37:06had to walk a mile to get the keys.
37:08So they're handcuffed, walking together.
37:10The fireworks are going up.
37:13And I swear that is when he started looking at Maxie differently.
37:19You should see the look in my brother's eyes when he tells that story.
37:27I don't mean to insult Lulu, but I know my brother.
37:32And he never stopped loving Maxie.
37:36And he never will.
37:39How do you know Jocelyn's the one who's been asking about you?
37:42He showed up at the gym, fishing, asking questions.
37:45It's fine.
37:45I handled it.
37:46Not very well.
37:48She followed up with Mooter.
37:50What?
37:52Do you want to know the exact hour and minute?
37:55Look, your whole plan relied on Nathan falling out of the sky after seven years
38:01and people just accepting that you had no idea where you'd been.
38:05It was a huge leap, but it worked because everyone loves Nathan so much.
38:10They wanted him to be alive.
38:12But the whole thing falls apart if anyone starts asking questions, and people are.
38:17People are not asking, but a person is asking questions.
38:21Jocelyn Jacks, this is a ditzy sorority girl who cares.
38:24You should.
38:25She's not just some ditzy sorority girl.
38:28She's a WSB agent.
38:34On the next General Hospital.
38:36Is that proof enough for you?
38:37You're for a visit from the not-so-secret admirer.
38:40I have something really important I need to do.
38:42Maybe she has information on Colum that can help us to bring him down.
38:46But as the WSB is concerned, that's enough to put him away for life.
38:49Maybe I can tell her at Sacra-Belle.
38:50Of course, you'll definitely do that a fun time.
