00:06Hey, I know you were in court earlier. How'd it go?
00:11It was pretty painless for me. For others, not too much.
00:20Excuse me, detective.
00:24Oh, what?
00:26I wonder how your parents are doing.
00:31Fighting on opposite sides is never easy.
00:36I'm guessing they're licking their wounds.
00:40But hopefully they can put that pain and anger aside.
00:47And I think they will.
00:49Why?
00:51Because they have the most important reason in the world.
00:57That's right, little man.
00:59Ew.
01:01Well, what do you think?
01:04Will the jury find Curtis guilty?
01:07If they stick to the facts of the case, yes.
01:12Unfortunately, verdicts are not always decided on facts.
01:17So you can't guess either way.
01:21Well, Curtis's testimony was compelling.
01:24And they managed to make the case about more than just the assault.
01:29So those are things that will not work in our favor.
01:36How'd it go?
01:38Well, you know, I don't want to be overly optimistic, but I think I made my case.
01:52Portia.
01:57I just wanted to give you fair notice that when we leave here, we're going to head over to the
02:02house to see our son.
02:10I got to say, I was pretty surprised by your invitation to have drinks.
02:17I didn't think you liked me.
02:24But you've been given a new lease on life.
02:28Magical second chance.
02:29I think that's worth celebrating.
02:33Don't you?
02:37Yes.
02:46Vincent Parker?
02:48Miss Jax?
02:51Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.
02:54Yeah.
02:54I'm looking forward to it.
02:56Can I get you anything?
02:58An iced tea or an iced coffee?
03:16An iced tea would be great.
03:18Thanks.
03:18You got it.
03:20Jacinda, hey.
03:22Hi.
03:22Thanks for getting here so quickly.
03:24Yeah, of course.
03:25You sounded upset on the phone.
03:27I am upset.
03:29Look what God delivered earlier.
03:32According to this restraining order, I can't get within 500 feet of your kids.
03:40The nanny of the quarter mains called in sick, so I unexpectedly have my children with me.
03:46Please extend my apologies for missing the speaking engagement.
03:49And I will send an email personally as well.
03:52Thanks so much.
03:55Mom!
03:57Guess what?
03:58We have the whole afternoon and night together.
04:01Yay!
04:02What do you guys want to do?
04:07Apologies for intruding on your time.
04:09I know you're off the clock.
04:10No apologies necessary.
04:12How was the trial?
04:14The defense attorney went after me pretty hard.
04:16Yeah, that's what I heard.
04:17But I filed a procedure in Curtis Ashford's arrest, and I stand by that and my testimony.
04:25It's a complicated case, considering all the parties involved.
04:28With Jordan Ashford being the former police commissioner, you mean?
04:33Yes, she has a lot of friends in and out of the department, and the DA's office.
04:37I wouldn't have been surprised if Detective Falconeri asked me to look the other way when he was acting police
04:42commissioner.
04:43But he didn't.
04:45No?
04:46Because he's that kind of an officer.
04:50And since I wasn't your hire, you're probably trying to fill me out.
04:56Trying to figure out what kind of officer I am.
04:59Well, the good news is, I'm an open book.
05:03If you have any questions about how I handled this case or any other, I'm happy to answer them.
05:09Being a witness for the prosecution, all they needed me to testify to was the severity of Isaiah's injuries.
05:16And if those injuries tracked with the statement Isaiah gave when he came into the ER,
05:21Martin Gray didn't even cross-examine me.
05:24Well, this sounds like you got up really easy.
05:26Oh, but that detective, Fitzpatrick, he was called because he was the arresting officer.
05:32Martin went after him big time.
05:34Okay, well, in Martin's defense, as Curtis's lawyer, he was just doing his job.
05:39I guess.
05:40But if he went after a cop like that, I can't imagine how badly he went after Portia or Isaiah.
05:47I trust that seeing Desmond won't be a problem for you.
05:52He's your son.
05:53Of course you can see him.
05:55And I'd like some privacy when I'm with my son.
05:58So, if you distanced yourself, I'd sure appreciate it.
06:02Um, thank you for letting us come by the house.
06:08You're always welcome.
06:10And thank you for allowing my son and my grandson to get some alone time after when it's been a
06:18very tough day for everyone.
06:19No.
06:20I have to stop by the hospital anyways.
06:24Okay, yeah, that's fine.
06:27Do you want me to walk you up?
06:29Mm-hmm.
06:36Thanks, brother.
06:39It's a volatile situation, son, and we have to do whatever we can to ensure that cooler heads prevail.
06:48And right now, that means focusing on Desmond.
07:01You know, I think my dad is right.
07:06I think seeing baby Desmond is exactly what we need.
07:11Actually, Curtis, I'm going to sit this one out.
07:16What?
07:18Don't worry.
07:18I'll take care of it.
07:21Okay, where were we?
07:23We could go to a Rutex game or the pool.
07:28Those are great ideas, and that sounds fun.
07:32But I have an idea.
07:33What is it?
07:34It's a surprise.
07:35Come sit down.
07:36I'm going to send a quick email for work, and then we'll go.
07:43What do you think the surprise is?
07:45I don't know.
07:53The only reason she was able to secure this is because she's a congresswoman.
07:57My lawyers will fight it.
07:58She has no grounds.
07:59I do have a record, Michael.
08:01That has nothing to do with this.
08:03Look, you said that my children adore you, okay?
08:06You never do anything to hurt them.
08:08Willow knows that.
08:09She's just being petty.
08:11I was worried something like this was going to happen eventually.
08:15Willow's going to throw her weight around and abuse the power of her office.
08:20That starts by targeting you, but eventually she's going to come after me to take the kids.
08:25How are you re-acclimating to life among the movie?
08:32Pretty well, actually.
08:34I feel like my return has already made an impact.
08:39I testified to Curtis Eshbridge trial today.
08:42In what capacity?
08:44Portia is a dear friend, and Trina is like a daughter to me.
08:48Believe it or not, I am trying to make amends with the whole family.
08:53After targeting them so mercilessly, good luck with that.
08:58People can change.
08:59Or have you never done anything that you later came to regret?
09:05Shh.
09:06Provided your intentions toward Trina's family are pure,
09:11we may have a common interest to explore.
09:16And what common interest would that be?
09:21Sunny.
09:24As I explained in my email, I'm the vice president of operations at Jasper Jack's Enterprises.
09:31I'm simply here to walk you through the corporate structure and priorities at J.G.
09:37Um, why would I need you to do any of that?
09:42Uh, when was the last time you spoke with your father, Ms. Jack?
09:46I'm not sure that's your business.
09:50What is this about?
09:55You're the new CEO of Jasper Jack's Enterprises.
10:01Are you sure?
10:03I am.
10:04You just told Isaiah to stay away.
10:07And besides, you told me that you and Portia agree to keep your respective partners away during visits.
10:13We did, but these are extenuating circumstances.
10:18But you and Isaiah, it's not even close.
10:22I understand, but it just doesn't feel right to be there with you and Portia.
10:29Especially not today.
10:31I just don't want you to feel like you're not a welcomed part of Desmond's life because you are.
10:39I'm glad to hear that.
10:41But if I'm being perfectly honest, all I want to do right now is relax.
10:47So go be with your son, and I'll see you back home.
10:52Sure.
10:53I'm sure.
10:55Okay.
10:57Love you.
10:58And I love you too.
11:02Well, I do appreciate the fact that you're open for inquiry, but that's not why I wanted to talk to
11:07you.
11:08I want to know how you're doing.
11:13I'm okay.
11:16Adjusting.
11:18It helps that Port Charles is such a great town.
11:21Yeah, but it's a bit of a change of pace from New York City.
11:25Not as big a one as I expected.
11:29Smaller, yes, but not necessarily slower.
11:33Considering perps like Jen Sidwell and Cassius Faison.
11:36You were partnered with Cassius, weren't you, when he was posing as Nathan Winston?
11:41I was.
11:42Yeah.
11:44But that partnership went south when he pistoled with me.
11:50I'm sorry about that.
11:51What are you going to do, right?
11:54Just another day at the office.
11:56Yeah, but I mean, in all seriousness, you know, this...
11:59This job is untenable if you can't trust your partner.
12:03And Cassius betrayed you.
12:07He betrayed all of us.
12:12Is Dad sleeping?
12:13Cocked out in the nursery.
12:15Oh.
12:16Well, thank you for watching him while Curtis and I were in court.
12:21If you have any questions about what happened today...
12:24I have one.
12:25How are you doing?
12:28I'm, um, I'm devastated, exhausted.
12:32I'll bet.
12:34And not just physically.
12:36I'm so sick of having every mistake that I've ever made be aired out for public consumption.
12:42It is a special kind of torture.
12:44And I guess Curtis believes he's defending what is defensible, but the way he's fighting?
12:51I'm afraid that we're never going to be able to put any of this behind us.
12:56I have many regrets about my time in office, specifically goals that I wasn't able to accomplish, but...
13:05The top of that list is getting rid of Sonny.
13:11Still looms large.
13:13Yeah.
13:15But it was my understanding that the two of you peacefully coexisted.
13:21Sonny and I have a fragile peace for the sake of our daughter Avery.
13:27And for my part, I have done my best to maintain it.
13:32And Sonny?
13:34Sonny is all accusations and ultimatums.
13:40Sonny and St. Guston?
13:40Everything, every single thing must be on his terms.
13:46Yeah, that sounds about right.
13:50In the moment there was a minor inconvenience in his life, he suspected that I was responsible and he had
13:56me hauled in to interrogate me.
13:59And then the man had the audacity to bring Avery's name into the conversation.
14:03to keep you in life.
14:05Oh, I took it as a threat.
14:08And I don't take threats involving my child lightly.
14:14No.
14:15I imagine you don't.
14:19Okay, I don't know what's going on,
14:22but there must be some sort of mistake.
14:24I'm not running my dad's company.
14:28Yes, you are.
14:30No, I'm not.
14:32Your father is the single largest shareholder at JJE,
14:36and he's named you his successor.
14:38It doesn't make any sense.
14:40Okay, why would he do that?
14:42You have to ask him.
14:44Okay, I will.
14:45I'm going to ask him right now.
14:47That might be a little difficult.
14:49Why?
14:51Where is he?
14:53He's currently circumnavigating the globe via sailboat.
14:57Your father is virtually unreachable,
14:59which is why all of us at the company
15:01are looking for you.
15:05For what it's worth,
15:06I don't think that Cassius' face on C.C.
15:08is a reflection of the PCPD.
15:11You have a really great department here,
15:12and I'm proud to be a part of it.
15:15So no regrets?
15:16None.
15:17That falconary was a straight shooter from the jump,
15:19and he made it very clear that he was just keeping your seat warm.
15:23For me, the only unknown in the equation
15:28was you.
15:29Oh.
15:30Well, what do your instincts tell you about me?
15:34That I made the right choice joining your squad.
15:37I trust Detective Falconary implicitly.
15:41And if he hired you,
15:43then I know it was a good call.
15:47Welcome to the department, Detective.
15:56Oh, hi.
15:58Looks like we both had the same idea today.
16:01Sun and fresh air after a super fun day in court.
16:05Are you swimming laps?
16:07Uh, no.
16:08I think I'm just going to put my feet in the water.
16:12Enjoy your swim.
16:17Jordan!
16:20Um.
16:21Are we okay?
16:23I'm sorry.
16:24I know I didn't hold back with Curtis today.
16:27No.
16:28But you did hold back with me.
16:35Lucas.
16:37I just wanted to tell you
16:38I appreciated your testimony today.
16:40Well, it's the truth.
16:41I really hope you get justice, Isaiah.
16:44Thanks.
16:45You too.
16:47Hey, Lucas was telling me about the trial.
16:50Yeah.
16:50Fun times.
16:52Apparently.
16:53How's Portia doing?
16:54She's hanging in there.
16:56Held it together better than I did.
16:58It's what she didn't have to.
17:00And Curtis can hate me all he wants.
17:03But what he allowed his lawyer to do to Portia
17:05and put her on the stand
17:08is unforgivable.
17:11He heard his mama's voice
17:13and wanted to see her.
17:16Is it bad that I'm glad he woke up?
17:19Not at all.
17:20This baby is such a blessing, Portia.
17:26What do you think, Des?
17:27Should we tell mama what we're talking about?
17:30You two had a doc, huh?
17:32Yeah, well, it was mostly me.
17:36But I was telling Desmond here
17:39that my hope for you and Curtis
17:40is that you can put your issues aside
17:43no matter how justified
17:46for the sake of your children.
17:48You two being in each other's throats
17:50doesn't benefit anyone.
17:53Not Desmond, not Trina,
17:56and definitely not you.
17:58You have got to find a way
18:00to cooperate with each other.
18:03I'm trying, Stella.
18:05I really am.
18:07But it would be a lot easier
18:08if the cooperating was coming from both sides.
18:18Curtis.
18:19Hi, Marshall.
18:21Hey.
18:27How's my boy?
18:31Okay.
18:35There's always an implied threat with Sonny
18:38that he'll take Avery from me.
18:40He's even succeeded a couple of times.
18:43You're Avery's mother.
18:45Well, he doesn't care about that.
18:47No, according to Sonny,
18:49Avery would be better off without me.
18:52The thought of that hypocritical bastard
18:54trying to make you the problem
18:56when one of his kids died because of him
18:59and the rest are perpetually endangered,
19:01I mean, who does he think he is?
19:04The all-powerful, invincible,
19:06Sonny Garinthos, of course.
19:08You know,
19:11the hardest part of my illness
19:13was being away from Skel.
19:16Not even close.
19:19I would destroy anyone
19:21who was trying to keep me from my daughter.
19:25And so should you.
19:28Okay.
19:30Yes.
19:31I mean, my father has discussed,
19:33in theory,
19:35wanting to sail around the world,
19:36but why would he do that
19:37and not tell me?
19:39And I have a better question.
19:40Why would he expect me
19:42to run his company when he's gone,
19:44when I literally know nothing about it?
19:47He must think you're the right person for the job.
19:50I'm not.
19:51Look, I...
19:52I gotta say,
19:54most people wouldn't complain
19:56about being gifted
19:57in a multi-billion dollar company.
19:59I'm not those people.
20:01I guess not.
20:03Look,
20:04I want nothing
20:05to do with J.J.E.
20:06and I'm pretty sure you can't force me
20:08into the position of CEO.
20:10So,
20:11you need to figure out
20:12how we fix this.
20:13Willow thinks she's lying high
20:17right now.
20:18She's in Congress.
20:19She's ditched Drew.
20:21But she's gotten cocky
20:23and a little overconfident.
20:26Her position isn't nearly as strong
20:28as she thinks.
20:30What does that mean?
20:32Well,
20:33it's not like Willow's past.
20:35It's spotless.
20:35She was in a cult,
20:36for God's sake,
20:37and on trial
20:38for attempted murder
20:39not so long ago.
20:40Yeah,
20:40but what matters
20:41is right now,
20:42and as much as I hate to admit it,
20:44Willow's holding all the cards.
20:46I don't know.
20:47I think things are about to change
20:49for the Congresswoman,
20:50and not for the better.
20:54Mommy,
20:55can we go to Bobby's
20:56and get milkshakes
20:57before the surprise?
20:59That sounds like a great idea.
21:01Good,
21:02because I'm thirsty.
21:08I was on the witness stand
21:10under oath.
21:11It would have been well
21:12within your bounds
21:13to ask me about
21:14Curtis' attitude towards Isaiah
21:16leading up to their fight.
21:18That would have been hearsay.
21:20Regardless,
21:20was you didn't ask.
21:22And then you got me
21:23off the stand
21:24without putting me
21:24in a position to hurt Curtis.
21:28I would never want to do that.
21:31And it wouldn't have been smart
21:32in this case.
21:33You are an extremely
21:35sympathetic witness.
21:37Badgering you on the stand,
21:39being too aggressive,
21:40making you say negative things
21:42about your partner,
21:43that would have just backfired on me
21:44and alienated the jury.
21:46And maybe someone
21:48would have called me Shrill.
21:50If you say so.
21:53Okay, yes.
21:55It was important to me
21:56to be able to look you
21:58in the eye,
21:59my family,
22:01and know that
22:02I tried my case honorably
22:04and to the best of my ability
22:06did everything I could
22:07to spare you
22:08any undue harm.
22:09I appreciate that.
22:10and I respect it
22:12and you
22:14as a lawyer
22:15and as a
22:16former
22:17sort of
22:17daughter-in-law.
22:19We can love you
22:20as I do.
22:22I pray to God
22:23you lose this case.
22:27Des,
22:30you would have been
22:31so proud
22:32of your father.
22:34At least I hope so.
22:37I was fighting
22:39for us.
22:42I was fighting
22:46to be with you
22:47so I never
22:50miss
22:51a single moment
22:52of your precious life.
22:57I want to be there
22:58for all your firsts.
23:00Yes.
23:02Your first words.
23:04Your first steps.
23:07Everything.
23:11I'll admit
23:14there was a moment
23:15where
23:15I was worried
23:17and
23:17I thought I might
23:19give in to my anger
23:21to the frustrations
23:23or the injustices
23:24but I didn't know.
23:26I didn't
23:27get it together.
23:30Yeah.
23:32I kept it together
23:34for you,
23:34little man.
23:43While I was
23:46incapacitated,
23:47Scout
23:48spent most of her time
23:49with Alexis.
23:51Well, say what you want
23:52about Alexis.
23:53She adores her granddaughter.
23:55Wasn't Scout just
23:56surrounded by
23:58even more love?
23:59Yeah.
23:59Yeah, more love
24:00and also people
24:01that hate me.
24:02Alexis had no problem
24:03defying my wish.
24:04She probably
24:05she probably
24:05reveled in letting
24:06Scout spend time
24:07with Danny
24:08and the rest
24:08of the quartermates.
24:09Also not your
24:10biggest fan.
24:12To put it mildly.
24:14Well,
24:16I do sympathize.
24:19One of my biggest fears
24:21is that Avery
24:22will be indoctrinated
24:23into hating me.
24:25My son.
24:26Or Carla.
24:28Or Jocelyn.
24:29Or Michael.
24:30Or anybody else
24:31I'm forgetting.
24:34The only thing
24:35I guess working
24:35in my favor
24:36is that I am
24:37Scout's only parent.
24:38So with all the
24:39attacks and the vitriol
24:41nobody can deny
24:41the fact that I am
24:44Scout's father.
24:45And now that I am
24:46recovered
24:48she stays with me.
24:52I hope it's not
24:53terrible that I
24:54envy you.
24:56I'd love to have
24:57that kind of control.
25:00But instead
25:01I've
25:02I've been walking
25:03a tightrope
25:04since the day
25:06Avery was born.
25:09I'm sorry.
25:12I really am.
25:15No child
25:16should be forced
25:18into Sonny's orbit.
25:19It's gotta kill you
25:21to have to put her there.
25:25Look,
25:26this is between you
25:27and your father.
25:28I'm just the messenger.
25:29No, you're not.
25:30You're the VP
25:31of operations.
25:32So you must know
25:34of a qualified candidate
25:35who can run this company
25:36when he's gone.
25:37Yeah, there are
25:38plenty of people
25:38who are qualified.
25:39Great!
25:40But you're the one
25:41your father chose.
25:42And honestly,
25:44what's got you so busy
25:45that you can't
25:45take up the reins?
25:46Are you jetting off
25:48to Sardinia?
25:49Are you surfing in Bali?
25:52Actually,
25:52I'm a WSB agent.
25:55You're with the WSB?
25:56Yeah, that's right.
25:59Huh.
26:00Is it that shocking?
26:02Well, yeah,
26:03kind of.
26:04I think the WSB
26:05is not what I'd expect
26:06for a girl like you.
26:10You seem pretty confident
26:12about this whole
26:13Willow thing.
26:14Why?
26:15I'm just fairly certain
26:16she's about to make
26:17a big mistake.
26:18That's all.
26:20And hopefully
26:20it's a public one.
26:24Shoot.
26:25I need to return
26:26this call for Nina.
26:27Be right back.
26:29All right.
26:36Email is sent,
26:37you guys.
26:38Wiley Allen Carrethos.
26:41Give me the cup.
26:42That is my drink
26:43and it has caffeine in it.
26:45You wouldn't like it.
26:48Sorry.
26:49Can we please
26:50go to Bobby's now?
26:51Yes.
26:51Help your sister
26:52put her shoes on
26:53and then we'll go.
26:53Come on,
26:54Amelia.
26:59Anna.
27:01Jordan.
27:03I don't even know
27:04what to say.
27:06Welcome home.
27:07Yes.
27:09I've been so worried
27:11about you.
27:11Not as much as
27:12I've been worried
27:12about you.
27:14How are you?
27:17You go first.
27:19It's been a tough road
27:21but I'm making my way.
27:23Yeah.
27:24I feel the same.
27:26You know,
27:27I can get back up
27:28on my feet
27:29and put my life
27:29back together.
27:31Easier said than done,
27:32isn't it?
27:33There's what the world
27:34sees and
27:35it's what you see.
27:41I'm sorry
27:42for the way
27:43things went down
27:44today.
27:45I'm not sorry
27:46for fighting
27:47to see my son
27:48but
27:50it was never
27:51my intention
27:52to re-litigate
27:53our past
27:53when you were
27:54on the stand.
27:56Portia,
27:57you're the mother
27:57of my children.
27:59I would never
28:00want to embarrass you.
28:02Well,
28:03thank you.
28:05the only
28:06silver lining
28:06in all of this
28:07is that
28:07Dez is so young
28:09that he won't
28:10remember any of it.
28:12Yeah.
28:14But kids
28:14can pick up
28:15on stress.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Yeah, they can.
28:17And I don't want
28:18that for Dez.
28:19Neither do I.
28:21That's why
28:22we have to make sure
28:23that whatever happens
28:23in that courtroom
28:24we keep it separate
28:26from our time
28:26that we have
28:27with Dez.
28:28We can't let it
28:29affect him.
28:32It's the least
28:32we can do
28:33for our son.
28:36I rehearsed
28:37my testimony
28:38with ADA
28:38Lansing Davis
28:39multiple times.
28:41She kept
28:41driving home
28:42the point
28:42that I had
28:43to stay
28:43cool and calm.
28:44That if I lost
28:45my temper
28:45I'd look vindictive.
28:48Trying to make
28:48it look like
28:49you may have
28:49goaded Curtis
28:50into attacking you?
28:52Basically.
28:53Yeah.
28:54Oh, keeping you
28:55cool in a situation
28:56like that
28:56could be nearly
28:57impossible.
28:58But it is doable.
29:00For most people
29:01at least.
29:03I was convinced
29:04my surgeon's
29:05detachment
29:06would kick in.
29:07I was counting
29:07on it.
29:08But then
29:10when I needed
29:11it most
29:12nothing.
29:13Isaiah
29:14it's understandable.
29:16You watch
29:16the woman you love
29:17get kicked around
29:18on the stand.
29:19You can prepare
29:20all you want.
29:20That's still
29:21going to affect you.
29:22I hated
29:23every second.
29:25Not just the way
29:26Portia was treated
29:27which was bad enough.
29:28But then she had
29:29to endure this
29:30nonsense about me
29:31being the other
29:32driver in Jordan
29:33and Curtis' accident
29:34when I had
29:34nothing to do
29:35with it.
29:38It was too much.
29:41I blew it.
29:44What do you say
29:45you order another round
29:46while I powder my nose?
29:48I would say
29:49that sounds like
29:49an excellent idea.
29:51And you don't mind
29:53being in the same
29:54restaurant as
29:55Jocelyn and Michael?
29:59I have no intention
30:01of fighting with
30:03anyone today
30:04not when I'm
30:04enjoying myself.
30:05I'll be right back.
30:07I'll be here.
30:15You don't know
30:16anything about me.
30:18I know your father
30:20is handing you
30:21his company
30:21on a silver platter
30:23and you are treating
30:23it like it's
30:24radioactive.
30:25He didn't ask me
30:26if I wanted it.
30:28Oh, boo-hoo.
30:29Your billionaire father
30:30is entrusting you
30:31with his legacy
30:32and he didn't
30:33consult you?
30:34What a monster.
30:37Okay.
30:38What is your problem?
30:40I flew all the way
30:41from Australia
30:42to hand you
30:43the equivalent
30:43of a winning
30:44lottery ticket
30:45and you've
30:45completely
30:46wasted my time.
30:47This is my life
30:49we're talking about
30:50and you show up here
30:51completely blindsiding me.
30:53Great.
30:54So take over
30:55the damn company
30:55and fire me.
30:58I know things
30:59are difficult for you.
31:00But I'm so happy.
31:02happy to hear
31:02that you and Curtis
31:03are a couple again.
31:04I'm so grateful
31:05we found our way
31:06back to each other.
31:08I only wish
31:09we could enjoy it.
31:11It's all been
31:12so complicated.
31:14Between my accident,
31:16the baby,
31:17and Curtis' trial.
31:19Yeah.
31:21Not much room
31:21for Roma, though.
31:22My only hope is
31:23once the dust settles
31:25and we can finally
31:28put this crisis
31:29behind us,
31:30Curtis and I
31:31can have a fresh start.
31:35Figure out
31:36what we want
31:36and who we are
31:38together this time around.
31:44I bet you wish
31:45you could stay at home
31:46with this little guy.
31:48You mean instead
31:49of being trapped
31:50in court?
31:52Yeah.
31:53It would have been
31:53preferable.
31:56I hope you understand
31:58why I haven't been
32:00in court myself.
32:02Watching the people
32:04I love,
32:05Portia,
32:06my family,
32:08tear themselves
32:09further apart.
32:12I can't do it.
32:14I can't do it.
32:17Curtis understands.
32:19I hope you do, too.
32:21Of course,
32:22I understand.
32:24I wish I didn't have
32:25to be there, either.
32:28But it does feel
32:28kind of strange,
32:30you and I being
32:31on opposite sides.
32:33Well,
32:34I don't like it much
32:35myself,
32:35Miss Portia.
32:39That's why
32:40I'm keeping
32:41my focus
32:42on Desmond.
32:44Making sure
32:45he gets everything
32:46he needs.
32:47That's my focus,
32:48too.
32:50It's for the rest.
32:52I just pray
32:54that we all
32:55get through it.
33:00No, Jordan.
33:03She's exhausted.
33:04We all are.
33:06And I wasn't
33:07even in court.
33:10Yeah, well,
33:12there's going to be
33:12a whole lot of changes
33:14if I'm acquitted.
33:15When you're acquitted,
33:18hopefully,
33:19the healing can start.
33:21And both sides
33:23can show
33:23some basic tolerance.
33:26I don't think so,
33:28Auntie.
33:29When I'm found
33:30not guilty,
33:31those changes
33:32will impact Isaiah.
33:35he's not going to get
33:36anywhere near my son.
33:38I probably shouldn't
33:40have said what I said,
33:41but I did.
33:42And I meant it.
33:43I will be a better
33:45father figure
33:45to Desmond
33:46than Curtis
33:46could ever hope to be.
33:48Are you concerned
33:49how a guilty verdict
33:50may affect
33:51Curtis' children?
33:52Of course.
33:53But he should have
33:54thought of that
33:55before he refused
33:56the plea deal.
33:57Curtis had a way out.
33:59He didn't take it.
34:00Now he suffers
34:01the consequences.
34:02And you really
34:03think Curtis
34:04will be found guilty?
34:05If the jury
34:07can get past
34:07my less-than-stellar
34:09testimony
34:10and see the truth,
34:11yes.
34:13And that better
34:14be what happens.
34:15Because if not,
34:16if Curtis is acquitted,
34:20this situation
34:21will make it worse.
34:24Sailboat or not,
34:25I'm going to talk
34:26to my dad
34:26and I'm going to
34:27find out
34:27what's going on.
34:28Good luck with that.
34:29And in the meantime,
34:31I want you to bring
34:31me a list
34:32of every qualified
34:33candidate who can
34:34run this company.
34:36So I'm not fired then?
34:39Just find me someone
34:40who can run JJE
34:41so I can put them
34:42in power
34:43and never think
34:44about this company
34:45or you
34:46ever again.
34:48Copy that.
34:51Oh,
34:51you look so frazzled.
34:53Is there anything
34:54I can do to help?
34:55Let's list your help
34:57under things I will need
34:58never,
34:59Ava.
35:00I don't think
35:01you would have
35:02sufficed.
35:08Jocelyn,
35:09that unpleasant
35:10when you were
35:10dating your mother?
35:11Oh,
35:12that is a time
35:13I'd rather forget
35:15if you don't mind.
35:16Fair enough.
35:22I don't know how any child
35:24survives being raised
35:26under Sonny's influence.
35:28Look how Jocelyn
35:29turned out.
35:30Unfortunately,
35:31he's a very difficult
35:32man to fight.
35:34The part I hate most
35:36is being an island
35:38while everyone else
35:39rallies around him.
35:41an experience I'm very
35:43familiar with.
35:45Never again.
35:47This time,
35:48I'm going to be
35:49prepared.
35:50I'm going to have
35:51allies of my own.
35:54And you think
35:57that I could be
35:58one of them.
36:00and die for you.
36:03I know Sonny.
36:05I know how he
36:06operated.
36:08I won't be
36:08taking him by him.
36:11So when he comes
36:12for us,
36:12and you know
36:13he will come
36:14for us,
36:16we can be ready
36:17to help each other out.
36:22Where were we?
36:24You were just
36:25about to tell me
36:26about this public
36:27mistake Willow's
36:28going to be making.
36:30The less you know
36:31about that,
36:32the better.
36:33Yeah,
36:33I don't think so.
36:35Willow is
36:36Wiley and Amelia's
36:36mother,
36:37so if something's
36:37going on,
36:38I need to be prepared.
36:40Trust me,
36:41you don't want to be
36:41anywhere near this.
36:43You know what?
36:44You said it,
36:45what did you do?
36:48We're ready.
36:50You guys want to know
36:50what the surprise is?
36:51Yes.
36:52We're going
36:53to the arcade.
36:55Yay!
36:56We love the arcade.
36:57It'll be so fun.
36:58It'll be loud.
36:59And there'll be games
37:00and all the music.
37:02Yes!
37:03I can't wait.
37:04Can we go now?
37:05Yes.
37:05Let me just find
37:06my car keys.
37:10Ready?
37:12Let's do it.
37:15This is a
37:16DQ Miracle Maker
