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