00:00That was beautiful what you said at Sam's service.
00:04Thank you. It was all true.
00:07Especially the part about looking deeper. I could probably stand to do that more often.
00:13I wasn't trying to send you a subtle message.
00:16You didn't have to.
00:18I mean, putting one foot in front of the other, moving forward without looking back, that's kind of my M.O.
00:26Is that what you're doing now? Moving forward and not looking back?
00:32I'm not sure.
00:34You might want to figure that out.
00:36That's easier said than done.
00:38No one said it was easy.
00:42I don't want to give Aiden false hope.
00:46Or you.
00:52Are you sure I can't help you?
00:54No. Diane will take issue with confidentiality because you're the ADA.
00:58You've got to find it.
01:00Mom, Sam's will can wait until Diane gets back.
01:03No, it can't wait. I need to find it.
01:05It's been a long day. Let me take you home.
01:07Molly, I'm not going home without this will.
01:09I will not do that because I need to know what Sam's wishes are so that I can see them through.
01:25Mom's with her little girl now.
01:42Do you think she's at peace?
01:51Hey.
02:05Hey, what are you doing here?
02:08I thought I'd start going through some of Sam's things so you and the kids didn't have to.
02:14But I can do it later if you'd rather I go.
02:18No, no. No, you stay.
02:31I haven't seen these before.
02:34I got those for Sam, actually, for while she was recovering.
02:40That was really nice of you.
02:46I was really looking forward to taking time off and waiting on her hand and foot.
02:57Yeah, Sam, she would have been up and going by day one.
03:02Yeah.
03:07We were going to do a lot. We were going to knock out the kids' Christmas lists.
03:10We were going to maybe go somewhere over the holiday break.
03:16You made plans.
03:19And for what?
03:22For nothing, I guess, right?
04:16Yeah.
04:44Your mom's at peace.
04:48I know she missed baby Lila every day.
04:53Mom, do you believe in heaven?
04:59I want to.
05:02You know, if there is one, I'd like to think she's there with her daughter.
05:07Me too.
05:10Mom never really talked about baby Lila that much.
05:15Yeah, unfortunately, your sister died before she was born and your mom never got a chance to meet her.
05:24It'd be cool if they got to know each other now.
05:28Your mom would like that a lot.
05:32She loved all her kids.
05:35Yeah, more than anything.
05:39Family was the most important thing to her.
05:48What's going on?
05:51I'm just feeling really bad about something I did.
05:55You want to tell me?
06:00I think I hurt someone Mom loved very much today.
06:07You don't have to tiptoe around Aiden.
06:09Or me.
06:11But you do have to make a decision and stick with it.
06:15You mean actually commit to something?
06:18First time for everything.
06:20Ouch.
06:23So have you decided? Because it seemed to me like you were leaning more towards going back to Africa.
06:29Well, aid work comes naturally to me.
06:32Is that a yes?
06:34At least in Africa I know I'm helping people, not hurting them.
06:38Does that sound like a cop out?
06:40A little. But I understand what you're saying.
06:44Well, how do I get Aiden to understand?
06:48Be honest with him. Be direct.
06:52Our son loves you, Bucky.
06:55He's going to try to support you with whatever you decide.
06:59What about you?
07:02Would I have your support?
07:07Oh no.
07:09What?
07:10Lucas, he wasn't at Sam's service.
07:13They should check on him.
07:21What's that saying? Do you want to make God laugh? Make plans?
07:27Well, I guess God's got a dark sense of humor.
07:30Agreed.
07:33We had a really great life together.
07:37Then I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me. She said yes.
07:40Of course she did.
07:43And then we had one day to think about the rest of our lives together, and then she's gone.
07:51Just like that.
07:55It's not fair.
07:59There is another way to look at it.
08:02My mom said when Sam was telling her about the engagement, it was the happiest she has ever seen her.
08:08And you gave her that gift.
08:12Well, thanks. That is a better way of looking at it, I guess.
08:16I mean, does it make it any less terrible?
08:18No.
08:20I just keep thinking, Chrissy,
08:25is Sam dead because of me?
08:28Mom, will you just take a breath, please?
08:38I know one of Sam's wishes, without having to look at her will.
08:44What's that?
08:47She'd be so happy that you and Christina have come together.
08:52Well, Sam's death certainly put things into perspective.
08:57We don't really know what's going to happen from one minute to the next, do we?
09:02Between Sam's funeral and Ava's trial starting tomorrow, I mean, it's...
09:07God, I forgot all about the trial.
09:11For all the days of all the time, I mean, it's terrible.
09:17How are you feeling?
09:19Nervous.
09:21Helpless. I mean, I just want justice for Irene.
09:25We all do, honey.
09:26I just don't know. I mean, with Dad representing Ava, and especially now that he's...
09:32What?
09:34Molly, especially now that he's what?
09:38What has Rick done now?
09:40He's added me as a witness for Ava's defense.
09:45The service was beautiful.
09:47Sam deserved something special. I'm glad she got it.
09:51I'm just sorry you weren't there.
09:53That would have been a distraction.
09:55Why do you think that?
09:56You're Sam's brother. She loved you.
09:58And I loved her.
10:01But I could also be the reason she's gone.
10:04Who do you think you hurt?
10:08Uncle Lucas. And I don't think I hurt him. I know I hurt him.
10:14I'm the reason he wasn't at the funeral today.
10:21I mean, did something happen?
10:25Uncle Lucas was at the church this morning before the service.
10:29And I saw him. I just got so angry with him.
10:33Because he did the surgery on your mom?
10:36I told him it was his fault that Mom died. But we don't know any of that.
10:42We don't know if it's true.
10:44No, we don't.
10:46Mom loved Uncle Lucas so much. She would have wanted him to be there.
10:52God, I wish I could just take it all back.
10:56It's bad enough that Rick took Ava's case.
10:59But to rope you into it? That is just so egregious.
11:02That woman is responsible for your baby's death.
11:06Dad honestly believes that Ava's not to blame.
11:09Then who is?
11:10Well, according to him, it was just a tragic accident.
11:13It is cold-blooded. He is cold-blooded.
11:17You have to admit, legally smart.
11:21It's cruel.
11:24You aren't advocating for Ava, are you?
11:26No. But it's no secret that Christina and I were having issues.
11:32Sisters fight.
11:33Well, if I were defending Ava, I would put people on the stand who can corroborate that Christina is volatile and unstable.
11:40And who's more compelling to deliver that testimony than her own sister?
11:44Sam was always a problem solver.
11:48It was like she couldn't help her. She saw an issue, she had to fix it.
11:52Yeah. Gosh, I can't count how many times she would fix things for me in my apartment, let alone in my life.
11:58Right. So she's living here with me and Rocco, dealing with our pain and sadness over potentially losing Lulu.
12:05Right. And helping you through it, I'm sure.
12:07Of course. So if she sees a chance to relieve us of all that, she's gonna jump at it.
12:14Okay. Yeah. She did. But I'm still not understanding how this equates to being your fault, Dante.
12:22Sam wasn't forced to donate part of her liver. It was a choice that she made.
12:27Yeah, I know. But how much of her choice was to protect me and Rocco?
12:38No one was more surprised than we were to see how Lulu's vitals have improved.
12:43I've been looking at her records from Silverwater, and the difference between now and before the liver transplant is striking.
12:50That is wonderful news. I'm glad Laura decided to move Lulu to Turning Woods.
12:56I assume you're volunteering here. Something to do with her decision?
13:00Well, I recommended your facility to my sister.
13:04You know, she knows I've been doing spiritual work here, so she was very grateful for the suggestion.
13:09Lulu is fortunate to have someone so close to her spend so much time with her.
13:13I'm honored Laura asked me to represent the family at her bedside.
13:19Ms. Spencer, a word.
13:22Mr. Renaud, I expect you want to discuss my most recent article, but I'm actually here to see a patient, a close friend of mine.
13:30Unless you've forgotten, GH is actually a hospital, and not just your personal private office.
13:35It would be in your best interest to make time for me. I am in a position to make your life very difficult.
13:44I would like to sit with my niece and pray for her continued recovery, if that's all right?
13:50I'm sure your niece would appreciate that.
13:53The staff says you're improving. That you've stabilized and you keep getting better.
14:01That's good.
14:03Don't worry, Lulu. I'm gonna take care of you, just as I promised.
14:11Sam never did anything. She didn't want to.
14:14You heard the way people talked about her at the funeral. They said things like she was so loving and so brave,
14:20but they also used words like thoughtful and generous and deliberate.
14:26That's who Sam was. She looked at all of the risks and all of her options, and she made a choice.
14:34That killed her.
14:36Yes, which is devastating. But it's also not your fault.
14:43Danny and Scout lost a mom because Sam wanted to protect me and Rocco.
14:53Yep, and that is completely unfair. I know. And unfortunately, life isn't fair.
15:00I know that better than anyone after losing Sam and Adela.
15:04After everything that we have been through, are you prepared to testify against your sister?
15:12If Dad calls me to the stand, I don't have a choice.
15:15At the risk of destroying all the progress that you and Christina have made.
15:19At the risk of me not being able to handle one more thing. Really.
15:24Mom, what is the alternative? Letting Ava go scot-free? Because that's not an option for me. I'm sorry.
15:31Well, I'm sorry. I don't understand. I don't understand any of this. I don't understand anything.
15:35I don't understand how your father, who claims to love you, would do this to you.
15:40Mom, he does love me.
15:41Then why would he put you in a position that could cause you irrevocable harm?
15:46Dad claims he's helping me. He thinks that if he can get me to see that Ava is not at fault,
15:51and that this was just a horrible accident, that I can let go of this resentment and move forward.
15:56Yes, he's doing you a favor. How Rick of him.
15:59I've been subpoenaed. There's nothing I can do.
16:01There are other people that can give your testimony. It doesn't have to be you.
16:11This is it.
16:12This is her last will and testament.
16:26What does it say?
16:34It's her wishes for Scout and Danny.
16:41She's named Drew as the legal guardian.
16:45Look, I'm sure Lucas understands why you asked him to leave.
16:51It's still such a messed up thing to do.
16:53I know, but you just lost your mom.
16:57You're hurt, you're angry, you're looking for answers, and so far there are none.
17:02It's like there's nothing I can do to change what happened. Nothing I can do to fix it.
17:08It's like I have no control over anything.
17:11Okay, so since he did the surgery, he has control of the situation.
17:17Are you saying maybe he did something wrong or he missed something?
17:22Yeah.
17:24Or maybe he did everything right.
17:27Either way, Lucas loved your mom.
17:30He didn't want any of this.
17:33I just want to make sense of mom being gone.
17:37I know.
17:40I know that you want a reason, but one of the hardest things to accept is there may not be one.
17:56Danny just lost his mom. I'm sure he didn't mean what he said.
18:00He misses her. He needs someone to blame. And unfortunately, you're the easiest fall guy.
18:05And I get that. He's just a kid. Of course he's searching for a reason.
18:09But it still hurts.
18:10That's pretty selfish of me to be thinking about myself.
18:13No, it's human. I'm just sorry you felt like you couldn't go to the service.
18:18Honestly, I was having second thoughts before I even saw Danny.
18:22Really? Why?
18:23I didn't want the focus to be on anything else but remembering and saying goodbye to my sister.
18:28I know people want to know what happened to Sam, and hopefully we'll get answers once the autopsy report comes back.
18:35But in the meantime, you cannot blame yourself.
18:38That's right. There's no proof he did anything wrong.
18:42Yet.
18:43But we can prove that you did everything you could to save Sam's life.
18:48We can prove that you did everything you could to save Sam's life.
18:52And don't argue, because I was there.
18:57Dr. Lucas Jones?
18:59Dr. Jones, it's Chief Robinson. If it's not too late, would you mind stopping by my office?
19:05Yeah, sure. Is, um, is something wrong?
19:12We have the results back from your sister's autopsy.
19:16I'm really praying that autopsy report exonerates Lucas.
19:20Yeah, he's, uh, beating himself up, but, I mean, I get it.
19:25If Sam hadn't come through and Lulu didn't make it, I'm sure I'd be blaming myself.
19:30You would have been wrong, by the way.
19:33You love telling me I'm wrong.
19:35Only when you are.
19:38Yeah, I just feel for Lucas.
19:41I mean, I'm sure when he walked into that operating room, anything happening to Sam was completely off his radar.
19:48It wasn't on anyone's radar.
19:51Yeah, well, I don't get it. I mean, I thought you said that she was fine after the surgery.
19:55She seemed to be.
19:59It just hasn't sunk in that she's really gone.
20:02Yeah, well, that's, that's gonna take a while.
20:05Yeah.
20:07Mr. Spencer, what luck. I was hoping I'd run into you again.
20:14You know, it's actually a good thing you feel bad for hurting Lucas.
20:20It is?
20:21Yeah, I mean, you don't, you don't want to take your anger and your pain out on other people.
20:27Any tips?
20:29Oh, I mean, to be honest, I, I struggle with that, too.
20:35I didn't think you struggled with anything.
20:39Danny, I mean, managing my emotions, I struggle with that every day.
20:45And I, I don't always get it right.
20:48Is that what happened with you and Uncle Drew?
20:52Wait, Sam wanted Drew to have custody of both Scout and Danny?
20:57That's what it says.
20:59Oh, Scout, I understand, of course, but...
21:02Sam wanted to ensure that her children stayed together.
21:06When was the last time she updated her will?
21:09A few years ago.
21:11While Jason was still presumed dead.
21:14I don't even think Sam and Dante were together when this was drawn up.
21:18Do you think it was intentional or an oversight, her not updating the will after Jason came back?
21:24She never said anything to me.
21:27Did she say anything to you?
21:29Never.
21:31Never.
21:36I just have to ask Christina.
21:40My bet is that she never thought it would be an issue.
21:44Maybe she didn't change it on purpose.
21:48What do you mean?
21:50Sam and Jason have been at odds over his role in Danny's life for years, but especially since Jason's been back.
21:58I thought things had calmed down with them.
22:01I think Sam had real concerns over whether Jason could keep Danny safe.
22:05Of course she did. We all did. I still do.
22:10So, maybe Sam's will is exactly as she intended it.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:17For what?
22:19Because you shared your grief with me and I made it about myself.
22:22No, no, no, don't. Don't do that.
22:24Your grief doesn't take a back seat. Sam was your sister.
22:29Okay? Losing her on top of everything else that's happened, your pain is as valid as anyone else's, alright?
22:34Sam was so selfless.
22:37She wasn't reckless with people's feelings.
22:41She was...
22:43She was so giving in a way that I really admired about her.
22:48Yeah.
22:49Yeah.
22:51Why are you saying it like that? Do you not agree?
22:54No, I agree with you. I just...
22:56I wish she was more selfish. Maybe she'd still be here right now.
23:01Okay, and then what?
23:04Then you'd be burying Lulu instead. Is that what you would have preferred?
23:10Could I have a word?
23:12Of course.
23:14I plan to inform the rest of the family that since Lulu transferred here,
23:19her improvement has gone far beyond what we were anticipating.
23:23Doctor, I would love to inform my sister personally.
23:28I think it's important that we manage her expectations regarding my niece's condition.
23:34Expectations?
23:36Well, the news is positive.
23:37I don't want Laura having false hopes that Lulu will come out of her coma and regain consciousness.
23:45Thank you so much for coming on such short notice.
23:49Obviously, eager to hear the autopsy results.
23:53Which is why I didn't want you to wait until tomorrow.
23:56Well?
23:58The findings show that no surgical error could have attributed to Sam's cause of death.
24:03So...
24:06So that means...
24:08It means that nothing that you did led to Sam's heart attack.
24:12And I want to thank you.
24:14Thank you for being so open through this whole process because I know it couldn't have been easy for you.
24:21So if there was no surgical error, what did cause the heart attack?
24:33I don't know.
24:49I hope I'm not interrupting.
24:51Actually, we were kind of in the middle of something.
24:54No, no, it's fine. I have to get to the hospital.
24:57You don't have to.
24:59Portia just called me in.
25:01We'll talk later.
25:04Okay.
25:07Oh, by all means, have a seat.
25:10Have you given any further thought to my offer?
25:13Well, let me see. It's been a whole six hours. Believe it or not, I've been busy the whole time.
25:18I'm sorry you lost your friend.
25:21But you must be thrilled that your sister's doing so well.
25:25It's a mixed bag.
25:27I can imagine.
25:29Perhaps a change of scenery might do you good.
25:31You offering me a trip to Bali?
25:34No. I'm offering you some purpose.
25:38An opportunity to uphold your parents' formidable legacy.
25:43Yeah, I'm not big on legacies.
25:46What about helping people? Are you big on that?
25:50Because as I said before, you could do a lot of good, Lucky.
25:55For almost all of Danny's life, Sam was the primary caretaker.
25:59And for most of Danny's life, Jason was a non-factor.
26:04So maybe Sam made the conscious decision not to update her will.
26:09Well, we're never gonna know for sure.
26:13What we do know is that Jason and Danny have formed a real bond since he's been back.
26:20Well, that doesn't make Jason any less important.
26:22We don't even know if Jason wants custody of Danny.
26:26No. We don't.
26:29Well, what I do know is that Jason is not going to want Drew to have custody of Danny.
26:33That much is true.
26:35Even if it's what Sam wanted?
26:38Yeah. No, you're right. It's not happening.
26:42Okay, so how do you know what happened between me and Drew?
26:45Well, it wasn't a coincidence.
26:48Okay, so how do you know what happened between me and Drew?
26:51Well, it wasn't that hard to figure out. You know, you and him weren't really that close.
26:56His face all bruised and cut and you're not looking much better either.
27:00I put two and two together.
27:02Okay, does anyone ever tell you you're too smart for your own good?
27:05Mom. All the time.
27:10So, so what did happen?
27:11Uh, I got angry and I lost control.
27:16Why were you mad at him?
27:18That's, that's really not important.
27:20But it is. Dad, what if you would have gotten arrested? What if you, what would happen if you went to prison?
27:25I won't.
27:27How do you know that?
27:29Because Drew is in pressing charges.
27:31So you basically got lucky?
27:33Okay, look, just what happened between me and Drew stays between me and Drew.
27:36The fight might have been between you and Drew, but you guys aren't the only ones that got hurt.
27:52Lucas.
27:54Elizabeth, hey. I thought you were done for the day.
27:56I got a text from Marcia saying she wants to see me. I'm assuming it's about Sam's autopsy.
28:01Probably.
28:03Have you met with her yet?
28:04Yeah, nothing. I did cause the heart attack.
28:07I'm so glad. Now you can properly grieve and you can start to heal.
28:11Yeah, um, Elizabeth, there's something that I think you should know. So I...
28:16Oh, Nurse Baldwin. Thank you so much for coming in. Join me in my office?
28:21Of course.
28:25Okay, I'll see you later.
28:27I am grateful my son's mother is still breathing and has a chance.
28:32But in no version of any reality would I have wanted it at Sam's expense.
28:39Well, it's not up to you. You're not God.
28:44Why does it have to be one or the other?
28:48I don't know.
28:50I don't know.
28:53But I do know that you're allowed to be grateful that Lulu is alive.
29:00It's not dishonoring Sam or your love for her to hold space in your heart for Lulu. Okay?
29:11Okay.
29:13Dante, this isn't on you.
29:19I think, deep down, I think I know that.
29:29Good. Then take a little deeper and find some grace for yourself.
29:49Okay.
30:19No.
30:50Scout saw her dad's face. She knew something happened.
30:56Did she ask him?
30:58Yeah, he told her some story about how he walked into a door.
31:01Me and Rocco, we didn't believe it. I don't think she did either. She's scared.
31:05I never meant for that to happen.
31:07But it did. And Uncle Drew's the only parent she's got.
31:10So something would have happened to him.
31:12Okay, I could have handled things differently with Drew.
31:14You and Scout should never have to suffer for your parents' choices.
31:21Thanks for saying that.
31:25You know what happened with Drew?
31:29Won't happen again.
31:37Your mom.
31:43She'd be proud of you, you know?
31:46For sticking up for Scout?
31:51Yeah, and just, you know, for challenging me to do better.
31:56Just keep that up.
31:58I will.
32:08Sam wants the children to stay together.
32:10But Drew will insist that Scout stay with him, so where does that leave Danny?
32:14Danny needs to stay with his sister.
32:17You do realize that Jason or Drew or both could fight it in court
32:23if you decide to legally force the issue of the kids staying together, right?
32:27I'm aware.
32:29So how far are you willing to go with this?
32:31As far as I need to, to make sure that my daughter's wishes are honored.
32:35One of my little sister gets so wise.
32:37Um, I don't know, maybe life is just smacking the brat out of me.
32:44Sam would have been really upset to miss that.
32:49Yeah.
32:51Yeah.
32:58Everything okay?
33:00Yeah, just my phone reminding me that we, uh, have a big date on.
33:06Have a big day tomorrow.
33:09Yeah, Ava's trial.
33:11I've been called as a witness for the prosecution.
33:14Me too.
33:17I think maybe our family's finally gonna get the justice we deserve
33:21and Ava will be right where she belongs, in prison.
33:24I'm gonna do my part.
33:26Well, you know I'll do mine.
33:28Ava's going down.
33:30She sure is.
33:31Stance, you could be on WSB plane tonight if you accept.
33:35Tonight?
33:37The world slows down for no man. So, what do you say?
33:45Hey Lucas, what's up?
33:47Elizabeth just went into a meeting with Portia.
33:50Okay, is that a problem?
33:52Normally, no, but you might want to check on her.
33:55I think Elizabeth might be in trouble.
33:58I assume you want to fill me in on Sam's autopsy findings?
34:02That's correct.
34:04Were there any direct answers?
34:06Uh, there were.
34:08The toxicology report has attributed Sam's cause of death to an overdose of Digitalis.
34:15Digitalis? That can't be right. Nobody prescribed Digitalis.
34:20I led Sam's nursing team. I reviewed every medication that was ordered.
34:24Yes, yes, we know. We've reviewed your filings.
34:28We're gonna need to go through all of your team's movements from the moment Sam was delivered into your care.
34:35We need to figure out every med that she was given.
34:39Every individual who tended to her.
34:41Hold on.
34:43Are you suggesting I may be responsible for Sam's death?
34:48What I'm saying is that we need to conduct an investigation so that we can figure out exactly what happened.
34:54And if you like, we can continue this conversation with a union rep on hand.
35:24Uh.
35:26Uh.
35:28Uh.
35:30Uh.
35:32Uh.
35:34Uh.
35:36Uh.
35:38Uh.
35:40Uh.
35:45Kids, I made nachos with black diamond cheese.
