00:00You're done already? How'd it go?
00:02It was super easy.
00:03Yeah?
00:04I caught the doctor up to speed on this us trying to be parents thing,
00:07and they ran a bunch of tests, and then I was out of there.
00:09I'm sure yours will be a breeze too.
00:11What?
00:12Guy stuff is always a breeze. Our exams are a little more involved.
00:17Are you nervous?
00:18Aren't you?
00:19Actually, I'm more excited.
00:21Feels good to be doing something proactive to get answers.
00:24Maybe that's a detective in me.
00:25Wish I had a fraction of your optimism.
00:28Hey, we got this, okay?
00:33Harrison Chase, there's no canoodling in the hospital.
00:36Says who?
00:38Well, no one, I guess.
00:41Plans for the new gallery are everything I envisioned.
00:44I can't move forward with it now.
00:47I purchased the building when I actually had money,
00:49and now my finances are a complete disaster.
00:54Trina?
00:55Yeah?
00:56I'm sorry.
00:59That's awful about your financial problems.
01:02Where were you just now?
01:04Here, with you.
01:06You have been distracted all morning.
01:08What's going on?
01:11All right, the entire team's behind you.
01:12Can't wait to get you back.
01:14Can't wait to be back.
01:15Thanks, Coach.
01:15All right, bud.
01:17Hey.
01:18Another one?
01:20Look at you.
01:21A megawatt smile that still lights up the room.
01:24Injury be damned.
01:25A dislocated shoulder can't stop me.
01:27I'll be back to do downward dog and tree pose before you know it.
01:31Now, that's what I like to hear.
01:38Cody!
01:39I fed Thor and Hades, refilled their water,
01:41and I'm almost done sweeping up.
01:42Anything else I can help you with?
01:44You have far too much pepper in your step for this time of day.
01:48Not that early.
01:49And I didn't polish off a bottle of whiskey last night.
01:53A decision that I am very much regretting.
01:57Tough loss for PTU, huh?
01:59Brutal.
02:00How much do you have riding on that game, anyway?
02:02Trust me, dude.
02:03You do not want to know.
02:07Hey!
02:10What's happening here?
02:10You got a place?
02:12It's temporary.
02:16Rough night?
02:18You have no idea.
02:19You have no idea.
02:22No.
02:34Hey.
02:37Drink it, please.
02:39I'm okay.
02:40I'm not thirsty.
02:42You have to take care of yourself.
02:45Has there been any word from Martin?
02:47I'll tell you once you take a drink.
02:52No.
02:56Wylie and Amelia are still at the Gordon Means.
02:59Tracy won't budge.
03:00Then I don't budge either.
03:02If Carly and Sonny want to see Michael,
03:03or have any input on his care—
03:05No, Nina!
03:06That was the deal.
03:07They'd get me my children back.
03:09They have access to Michael.
03:12I'm worried about you.
03:14The things that you are saying.
03:15Michael is their son.
03:17He's hurt.
03:18I know you're desperate to be with Wylie and Amelia,
03:21but at what cost?
03:24Any cost.
03:25I'm their mother.
03:33This is cruel.
03:34You think I don't know that?
03:36I hate that I have to do this.
03:38But like Drew said, this is the only leverage I have.
03:42There is another choice.
03:45Such as?
03:50Carly.
03:51Grandchildren are upstairs if you'd like to visit with them.
03:57However, if you are planning on absconding with them
04:00as your ex-husband tried last night,
04:04think again.
04:21Why don't you settle up with this kid and let him get out of here?
04:30You can pay me later, Cody.
04:31No, he can pay you now, too.
04:32Oh, I'll pay you now.
04:35Thanks, man.
04:37You really helped me out.
04:38Anytime.
04:39Feel better.
04:41You hear that, God?
04:43Gio wants me to feel better, so let's get on that.
04:48I know why I'm salty.
04:49What's up with you?
04:51I'm texting Lulu.
04:52I can see she's reading them and she's not responding.
04:55Savage.
04:56Yeah, she's upset about this whole Prague thing.
04:59Yeah, um, by the way, you have yet to fill me in on that.
05:02What happened?
05:02Well, in a nutshell, she went to visit Charlotte.
05:05Valentine showed up.
05:06Then I showed up.
05:07Five minutes later, a shot was fired.
05:09Crap.
05:10Yeah, Valentine?
05:11Yeah, that's a theory.
05:12Is everyone okay?
05:13Yeah, everyone's fine.
05:13But in the chaos that ensued, Valentin took off with Charlotte.
05:16And now Lulu's mad at me.
05:18How mad is mad?
05:19Well, just pick a word.
05:20She blames me for Valentin taking off with Charlotte.
05:23And it kind of feels like she might never forgive me.
05:29I don't see you often at AA meetings.
05:32Everything okay?
05:34Yeah, I've just been swamped at Aurora.
05:39I mean, it's a good thing.
05:40But it certainly kept me from my NA meetings.
05:45I've been around long enough to know that it's not just the losses in life
05:48to lead you back to addiction.
05:50The highs can be pretty dicey too, right?
05:52Reasons to celebrate.
05:55Just didn't like the patterns that I was creating.
05:58So I showed up.
06:00Good for you.
06:02Proud of you.
06:03Not everybody would know that.
06:06Well, that's my story.
06:10How are you?
06:13I'm sticking with what I told you before.
06:17I'm not going to drink because it would dishonor Sam's memory.
06:21Well, now it's my turn to be proud of you.
06:23Can I ask you a question?
06:25Always.
06:27Actually, I just need some advice.
06:29And I think you're the right person to ask.
06:32Okay.
06:35I'm worried about Scout.
06:38And it all happened so fast.
06:40PC was winning.
06:41And then all of a sudden, a horrible hit happened.
06:43And boom, Kai was down.
06:44He didn't even get up.
06:45He didn't even seem to be moving.
06:47It's awful.
06:47And then the doctors and the coaches rushed to like the field and the coverage people.
06:52On TV, you mean?
06:53They kept replaying his hit over and over again.
06:56Like if it wasn't bad seeing it the first time.
06:59Was he okay?
07:00I mean, he sat up and they helped him to his feet.
07:05Well, that's good.
07:07But he was holding his throwing arm.
07:10So he did something serious to it.
07:12And they took him out of the game.
07:15Is this the player you were telling me about?
07:18The one you ran off with at the metro court after our lunch?
07:24Well, it's no wonder you're so worried about your friend.
07:27Oh, no.
07:28Kai and I, we're not friends.
07:30He's just my project partner.
07:33Doesn't seem that way to me.
07:35Well, I just hope that he's okay.
07:36That's all.
07:38Go find out.
07:39What?
07:41Wait, like visit him?
07:43No, I can't do that.
07:46No way.
07:47Feeling better about your appointment?
07:49So much better.
07:51But what if it's me?
07:52I mean, what if I am the reason why we're not getting pregnant?
07:55What if there is no reason?
07:56What if everything is just fine and it's taking as long as it takes?
07:59I don't know which is worse.
08:00Finding an explanation for a problem or no explanation at all.
08:04Either way, it's gonna be okay.
08:07You promise?
08:08I promise.
08:10I'm going up to see Michael.
08:13Wanna ride up with me?
08:14Yes, please.
08:30If you're going to say compromise,
08:32I've already tried that and I still don't have my kids back.
08:34Get!
08:34You don't have your children back yet!
08:35Drew's advice to bar Carly and Sonny from Michael was harsh.
08:37Yes, but you have to admit it was effective.
08:40And Drew's right.
08:40Carly and Sonny will stop at nothing to get what they want.
08:42Why shouldn't I do the same?
08:43Willow, Willow, do you hear yourself?
08:45Drew says this.
08:47Drew's advice.
08:48Drew is right.
08:48You know, you are allowed to make your own choices.
08:51I am choosing to fight for my kids.
08:54You can fight for your kids and still be yourself.
08:57That warm, compassionate, understanding woman that I am so proud to call my daughter.
09:06I honestly don't believe this.
09:08You are asking me to bow down to Carly and Sonny?
09:11I'm not saying bow down, but empathize with them.
09:15Willow, you are all in the same position.
09:18They are desperate to be with their child and they're being kept away from them by you
09:24the same way that you're being kept away from your children by them, Willow.
09:31Everyone is suffering here.
09:35Lay down your weapon and maybe they will lay down theirs.
09:42Carly, for what it's worth.
09:45Feel terrible about Michael.
09:46What happened to him was awful.
09:48We're all hoping for a swift recovery.
09:53But using Wylie and Amelia as bargaining chips, that won't lie.
10:00Those children belong with their mother.
10:02Oh, really?
10:03Aren't you the one that took them away from her in the first place?
10:05Yes, but I didn't expect things to go this far off the rails.
10:08Oh, imagine that.
10:10Carly Spencer not thinking things through.
10:13Hey, look, Michael is fighting for his life, okay?
10:16He needs us.
10:18Not my problem.
10:19Wow.
10:20Those children are safe and sound and they are right here where Monica wants them.
10:30And that's where they're staying.
10:34Did you get to see your family at least?
10:36They're at the game and they stayed with me until I was cleared to fly back.
10:39Oh, that's good.
10:40Yeah, it was great having them there.
10:42Especially, you know, dealing with all the initial hospital stuff.
10:46How's the pain?
10:47Oh, it's manageable.
10:50What?
10:51You may be a hero out on the football field, but you don't have to be a hero in here.
10:55I know, I know.
10:57The doctors are the QBs in here.
10:59Please, it's the nurses who do all the heavy lifting.
11:01Okay, I believe it.
11:03But really, I'm feeling okay physically.
11:07And mentally is another story?
11:10You know, we were just so close to winning and I feel like I let my team down.
11:16Look around you.
11:18All these sweet, albeit corny, expressions of support.
11:23You didn't disappoint anyone.
11:26Well, speaking of, I don't need any of this.
11:28Okay, maybe they can use it at the pediatric wing.
11:30I'm sure they could.
11:32You are a solid young man, Kai Taylor.
11:36Now, keep anything you want, obviously.
11:39I know.
11:40I'm just checking to see who sent everything.
11:44Hoping for a sender in particular?
11:48You need my help here.
11:49And Kai probably has a revolving door of visitors.
11:52And I mean, everybody at school is obsessed with him.
11:57And besides, I don't even really know him like that.
12:00And what if he was resting?
12:02We don't know.
12:03And also, I texted him and he didn't even, like, text me back.
12:10Well, an injury at his state, he just returned to Port Charles.
12:13I'm sure that Kai hasn't been busy at all.
12:17Any other excuses?
12:19They're not excuses.
12:21They're just very well thought out reasons.
12:25Trina, stop trying to convince yourself that you shouldn't visit him
12:29when we both know you want to go and make sure he's okay.
12:32Plus, and I say this with an infinite amount of love,
12:36you are of no use to me when you're this distracted.
12:39I'm sorry.
12:41Don't be.
12:43Go, I insist.
12:46Go!
12:50Okay, okay, okay, okay.
12:52Okay, I will.
12:54Thank you, Ava.
12:55You're the best.
13:00Tell me something I don't know.
13:05I can't risk my children on a maybe.
13:07Wylie and Amelia need me now, and I need them.
13:10I'm not arguing that.
13:11I'm not.
13:12I just believe that there is another way,
13:14and Willow, if you could really open your eyes,
13:17you would see that, too.
13:20Please.
13:22Am I interrupting?
13:24No.
13:26Actually, your timing is perfect.
13:27I was just about to take off.
13:35Think about what I said.
13:37Please.
13:48How you doing, Willow?
13:51Terrible.
13:53Nothing is okay with anyone.
13:56My life is a complete mess.
13:59I'm really sorry.
14:03How did we get here?
14:05One minute, I am happily married with two adorable children.
14:09You still have two kids.
14:10You know what I mean.
14:12And now, Michael could die.
14:16I am being kept from Wylie and Amelia,
14:18and Nina is questioning whether I'm thinking for myself
14:21or letting Drew make all the decisions.
14:25Are you?
14:27No.
14:29I don't know.
14:29I don't know.
14:32I don't know.
14:32Everything is upside down.
14:35I hate it.
14:40What do you think?
14:42It doesn't matter what I think.
14:44No, it matters to me.
14:45Chase, you're one of the first people I met when I moved here.
14:48At one point, you knew me better than anyone.
14:51I respect your opinion.
14:55I feel the same way.
14:56Okay.
14:57Then please, you are my friend,
15:00and I could really use one right now.
15:05Then you got one.
15:08I know we haven't agreed on much.
15:11Have we agreed on anything?
15:13We love the same people.
15:16My son, your great-nephew, is in the hospital right now
15:19and excruciating pain.
15:20And as I have said, I'm very sorry about that.
15:23Sonny and I have the opportunity to transfer Michael
15:25to a cutting-edge facility where they specialize in burn victims,
15:29but we can't do that with Willow holding Michael hostage.
15:33Please let Willow have the kids back
15:34so we can give Michael the care he needs
15:36in the window of time that he needs it.
15:40What if this were Ned?
15:42How far would you go?
15:44What would you do to help him?
15:47I'd go as far as I had to.
15:50That's all I'm trying to do.
15:54Oh, hey.
15:54Oh, hi.
15:55Hey, any updates on Michael?
15:59Well, it's horrible.
16:00He's so badly burned.
16:01I mean, they're doing everything in their power
16:03to try to treat the wounds and manage the pain,
16:05but that kind of injury and the gruesomeness of it,
16:10I wish I wasn't familiar with it, but I am.
16:12There's no pain like it, is there?
16:13No, not really.
16:15And the road ahead of Michael is not going to be easy.
16:17And I don't mean just physically.
16:18You know, there's a real emotional toll as well.
16:22My heart goes out to Michael.
16:25Really? That's different?
16:26Well, he's Wiley and Amelia's father,
16:29and he's a good guy despite our many differences.
16:32Honestly, I can't believe Willow's behavior.
16:35Well, how so?
16:37Well, thanks to Drew's sage advice,
16:40she's using Michael's medical proxy
16:42as a bargaining chip for her custody fight.
16:46Oh, because she's Michael's wife,
16:47so she's in charge of his care.
16:49Yes, and she's refusing to give Sonny and Carly access.
16:53To their son?
16:54Yeah, unless they can find a way
16:55to get Wiley and Amelia back living with her.
16:59Well, where are the kids now?
17:00Court remains, and Tracy is immovable.
17:04I mean, all of this is so ugly and spiteful.
17:08That does not sound like Willow's style.
17:10Because it's not.
17:11All of this is Drew's idea.
17:13Willow's life is in shambles, and it's all Drew's fault.
17:17He's constantly in her ear
17:20with this inexplicable power over her.
17:22That sounds so frustrating.
17:24It's infuriating.
17:25I mean, the amount of obstacles I had to overcome
17:28to be with my daughter, and now Drew's an obstacle?
17:30No, I'm not having it.
17:34I have been thinking about the choices
17:37that led me to this moment.
17:42Donna Day, Shiloh, Jonah, you, Michael,
17:49my cancer, Drew, and now this custody battle.
17:54And it all seems so wild and unrelated at first glance.
17:58But you think it's not?
18:01There's a pattern, Chase.
18:03A desire, or maybe even a compulsion to be rescued.
18:10When I first came here,
18:12I really was trying to start over,
18:14and then I met you.
18:18And I fell in love with you, because you are wonderful.
18:22Clearly.
18:24But you also saved me,
18:30offering me refuge from Shiloh.
18:33And then later, when I realized that Jonah was gone,
18:37there was Michael,
18:39with the promise of a family like I'd always dreamed of.
18:43And then Drew literally saved your life.
18:45I have literally jumped from savior to savior.
18:52I don't see it that way.
18:54At all.
18:57Wiley and Amelia stay.
18:58Why are you doing this?
19:00I'm actually just abiding by documents that you put in place.
19:05Michael is your family.
19:06Don't you want him to have the best care possible?
19:08Oh, come on.
19:09Drew is a philanderer, and Willow is whatever.
19:14But they're not monsters.
19:15They will see that Michael gets the best possible care.
19:18Willow is a nurse.
19:19But she doesn't have the reach that Sonny and I do,
19:22and she doesn't have the connections.
19:24Okay, what about Monica?
19:26What about Monica?
19:27Doesn't she want her grandson to be treated by the best?
19:31Why are you laughing?
19:32I'm laughing because not once, ever,
19:36have you spared a moment of consideration for Monica.
19:40That is not true.
19:42Really?
19:44It is true.
19:45That woman's life was never the same
19:47the moment you set foot in this town.
19:50Aunt Stella?
19:50Oh, Trina, baby, how are you?
19:53I'm good, I'm good.
19:54Do you need help with that?
19:55Yes, please, take this.
19:57What is all this stuff?
19:58I got them from Kai's room, with his permission, of course.
20:01He wants them brought up to pediatrics.
20:03Well, that's sweet.
20:04I thought so.
20:05How's he doing?
20:06Very well, considering.
20:09That boy's got a good head on his shoulders.
20:10He's probably been sworn with visitors, huh?
20:12I had to chase them all out.
20:14Football players are loud.
20:15I figured that he'd be over the moon.
20:18I figured that he'd be overwhelmed.
20:19You know what, I just, I'll come back later.
20:21Oh, no you won't.
20:24In August, I went off birth control
20:26and we actively started trying to get pregnant.
20:28And I'm tracking my cycle, I know when I'm ovulating.
20:32I assume you have one of those apps?
20:33Oh, I have two.
20:34Thorough.
20:35I am taking this very seriously.
20:37So you've been trying to conceive for five months, give or take?
20:40Look, I know that all the books and websites say
20:42that you should be trying for at least six months
20:45before taking next steps,
20:46but I'm just really anxious to get the ball rolling.
20:48So Chase got checked out earlier this morning
20:50and now it's my turn.
20:52I think it's great you're being so proactive.
20:55But before we get started on any tests,
20:56I'd like to first review your medical history.
20:58Sound good?
20:59Review away?
21:01I'm sure Lulu will forgive you.
21:03Just give her some time.
21:05Yeah, I don't know about that, man.
21:07Honestly, like she's pretty determined to get Charlotte back.
21:10It's like her singular focus right now.
21:12And I get it, you know, it's her daughter.
21:14She's worried about her.
21:16I'm trying to also make her see that she has a son here at home.
21:20Listen, I've only talked to Lulu a couple of times, right?
21:23But I've been hearing about her for years.
21:26Spirited and stubborn tend to be the descriptive terms.
21:29Yeah, that sounds about right.
21:34So likely Lulu thinks that you're trying to take over the search
21:40so that you can do things your way,
21:41which, let's be honest, you probably are.
21:44And what's wrong my way?
21:45The way I see it, you can either keep doing things your way,
21:49trying to take control, keep getting shut out,
21:52or you can help Lulu do it her way.
21:56You know, that hangover that you're experiencing,
21:58it might be actually making you make a little more sense.
22:01Yeah, it's great.
22:02You're nothing if not very consistent.
22:04What's that supposed to mean?
22:05I feel like we've been having the same conversation since we were kids.
22:09Strong-willed girl, driving you crazy,
22:12consuming your thoughts, ignoring you when she's mad at you.
22:16Sound like anyone from back in the day?
22:19Uh, Brooklyn.
22:23What about pregnancy history?
22:24Have you been pregnant before?
22:26Once, when I was a teenager.
22:30And what was the outcome?
22:31I carried to term.
22:33It was a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
22:37I gave the baby up for adoption.
22:38That's encouraging from a conception standpoint.
22:41Your body's done it before.
22:42I guess that's what I'm really struggling with, doctor.
22:45I mean, how is it that I could get pregnant so easily when I didn't even want to?
22:48And now that I'm trying, I can't.
22:51I hear this so often from patients who have had pregnancies early on.
22:56But there's really no rhyme or reason, Brooklyn.
22:59And certainly no negative impact.
23:01Delivering a baby back then does not diminish your odds of conceiving now.
23:05Really?
23:06Really.
23:08Really.
23:11How do you remember all this stuff?
23:13Are you kidding?
23:14She was all you could talk about.
23:15You just always kept ditching us to go over to see Brooklyn at Camp Martha.
23:19Well, she was a hell of a lot cuter than you guys.
23:21Yeah, yeah.
23:22And she was so funny.
23:23And she was so smart.
23:24And oh, so hot in the talent show.
23:26She was.
23:27She was great in that talent show.
23:28Those are facts.
23:30Those are simpler times.
23:32Yeah, I doubt you would have described them that way back then.
23:35What?
23:36Brooklyn was a firecracker who drove you crazy.
23:39What are you talking about?
23:40You remember the time that she asked you to the Midsummer Bonfire Mixer?
23:44You said, oh, I don't know, maybe.
23:46Instead of the resounding yes, she wanted.
23:48She didn't talk to you for a week.
23:50Why do you remember all this stuff?
23:52Because it's hilarious.
23:54Dante, let's be honest.
23:56You talk a big game about wanting Lulu to let you take the reins.
23:59But if she was the kind of person that would do that.
24:02You think maybe I wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place, huh?
24:05Any more than you fell for Brooklyn or Sam.
24:09Well, you're two for two, my friend.
24:11This hangover really is putting you on a winning streak.
24:13It's magic.
24:14Advice giving.
24:15Yeah.
24:18Oh, hey, did he shortchange you or what?
24:20No, there's a woman here to see you.
24:23Me?
24:25By all means.
24:26Now you're talking.
24:27Send her in.
24:27Hello, Cody.
24:37Found extra set of hands in the hallway.
24:39She finally comes to see me.
24:42Well, from what I hear, you had a steady stream of visitors.
24:45Maybe just not the visitor you wanted.
24:48What?
24:48I didn't say anything.
24:50I'm going to break up another loop.
24:52Uh, I'll help you.
24:53Oh, no, no, no.
24:54You stay right here.
24:55Sounds like you two have some catching up to do.
25:04Um, so how are you doing?
25:07Uh, I could be better.
25:08I could be worse.
25:09How are you?
25:11I'm good.
25:12I'm glad to hear that.
25:14Yeah.
25:16So how are you really feeling?
25:18You know, all the greats have had injuries that they've had to work their way back from.
25:22It's just part of the game.
25:24And once I get my MRI, I'll be able to start rehab
25:26and then bring my shoulder back to full strength.
25:28Then spring training, here I come.
25:30Well, that's amazing.
25:32But I didn't ask about your shoulder.
25:35I asked about you.
25:37You want to drudge all that up now?
25:41It's as good a time as any, don't you think?
25:43No, I don't think.
25:45And to be clear, this isn't about minor grievances like you and Sonny in my bed.
25:51This is about what you cost, Monica.
25:53For years, you kept Michael away from this family, his family.
25:58And let's not forget about how she lost AJ because of you.
26:03This is accomplishing absolutely nothing.
26:05Oh, I don't agree.
26:06Now, while I sympathize, truly sympathize with what you're going through as a mother,
26:12I am reminded about what you put this family through for years.
26:20So let me tell you what I told Sonny.
26:24Find another way.
26:27I thought you and Willow were closer than ever.
26:29Well, we are, but she has become scarily dependent on Drew.
26:33You know, when I told her about the kids, she ran straight into his arms.
26:37It's like she's blind, deaf, and dumb to anyone else.
26:40And she won't listen to a word against him.
26:43Yikes.
26:43She is so wrapped up in what Drew wants,
26:47she's losing herself in the process.
26:52Well, what does Drew want?
26:55Yeah, well, what Drew wants is to punish Carly, Sonny, the Quartermains, full stop.
27:04I see.
27:05And you wish that Drew would focus on what's best for Willow and the kids.
27:10Exactly.
27:11If not his focus, let it at least be hers.
27:14Hmm.
27:16Does she really do whatever he says?
27:18Yes, I mean, you know Willow.
27:20I'm using Michael's health care as leverage,
27:23spending the night in Washington with Drew, bringing Wylie there.
27:29You know, I am the last one to defend Carly on anything.
27:32Anyway.
27:33But I can understand her outrage.
27:36For Willow to be this inconsiderate and brazen.
27:41It's just not like her, is it?
27:43This is the kind of hold that man has on her.
27:46And it's systematically destroying her life.
27:51Maybe instead of searching for a hero, you're just
27:55you're looking for a sense of belonging, a sense of family.
28:00Family that I never had.
28:02It would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
28:05Why I get so lost in other people so easily.
28:09Shiloh and Dawn of Day filled that void for a while, but
28:13you think I've been chasing it ever since?
28:15But you already found it.
28:17Don't you see that?
28:18Home is not with me or with Michael or with Drew.
28:22Home is with your kids.
28:25And if you feel lost right now, that is okay.
28:28Because it is a great time to find yourself again
28:31and do what is right for Wylie and Amelia.
28:34Because as their mother,
28:38only you know what that is.
28:43Detective Falconeri, so nice to see you again.
28:45Yeah, I wish I could say the same thing.
28:48Miss Wu, I already told you, I'm out.
28:51No more gambling or any of that nonsense.
28:53I thought perhaps a sit down in person might change your mind.
28:56You're mistaken.
28:57I can see that.
28:59Not the answer I was expecting, but so be it.
29:03Would you mind walking me to my car?
29:05The grounds are so expensive.
29:06I don't want to lose my way.
29:08Of course.
29:09Until we meet again, Mr. Bell.
29:13Tell me more about your violent pursuits.
29:15Have you attempted poverty?
29:19You know, I've worked my whole life to have a game like the one I got hurt in.
29:22Well, you were incredible out there.
29:25Did you watch it?
29:26I couldn't get away from it.
29:28Everyone was watching it.
29:29Okay, so then you saw it.
29:31But it wasn't just me.
29:32The whole team was firing on all cylinders.
29:34It was like, it was like magic.
29:37It was like magic.
29:38I mean, it was the best I've ever felt on the field.
29:41And the injury was a disaster, that's for sure.
29:43But I can't erase what it was like to play at that level.
29:48Wow.
29:50I'm really impressed.
29:51Well, what are you impressed with?
29:54You want a list?
29:54Yeah, I want a list.
29:58Your attitude.
30:00Your optimism.
30:03Your grit.
30:04And your confidence.
30:06This recovery should be a cakewalk for you.
30:09I hope so.
30:11And this injury means I definitely can't enter the draft this year.
30:14And that means I'll be staying with PCU.
30:17So next year, you better watch out.
30:22I just want him to take good care of Scout.
30:24That's all I really care about.
30:28But you don't think he is?
30:30He's already gone against Sam's wishes.
30:33He moved Scout away from Danny and Rocco.
30:35And Sam would hate that.
30:37I always thought Drew was a solid father.
30:39So do I.
30:40And the last thing that I want is to be combative with the father of my granddaughter.
30:44Well, he has made some questionable calls lately.
30:47So I get your concern.
30:48So what do I do?
30:52Spend as much time as you can with Scout.
30:56Give her that normalcy while you still can.
30:59While I still can?
31:01What the hell does that mean?
31:06For what?
31:08For calming me down long enough to think.
31:12And for being a really good friend.
31:15I have been really overwhelmed by all the input from everyone.
31:20And you listened.
31:23And you gave a thoughtful new take.
31:26I appreciate it.
31:28Did it help?
31:29I am seeing things more clearly now.
31:34It's not up to Nina or Drew or anyone to decide what's next for my family.
31:40It's up to me.
31:42I don't know why I'm standing here talking to you when I can just deal with Monica directly.
31:45Oh, bother her at your peril.
31:49Of course, you won't be able to get in because Yuri guards that door within an inch of his life.
31:55Fine, I'm gonna go see the kids.
31:56That option is no longer open to you.
31:58They have homework and enrichment activities.
32:03You really are something.
32:06I am, aren't I?
32:15However you envision this ending, I guarantee you're wrong.
32:27We'll see.
32:29I can't believe you're watching.
32:31Like I told you, there was no way of escaping it.
32:34I went to the Brown Dog with some friends and the whole bar was watching it.
32:38Okay, well, admit it.
32:39You were hooked.
32:40Fine, I was hooked.
32:42Maybe next season we can get you to come to an actual game.
32:45Well, before we start talking about next season, let's get that shoulder fixed.
32:49Oh, yeah.
32:50Piece of cake.
32:51Time for your MRI.
32:53Let's do it.
32:56And don't thank you for coming.
32:58It was a sweet surprise.
33:00You're welcome and good luck.
33:11Okay, the physical exam didn't reveal anything abnormal,
33:16but I'll know more when I get the test results back.
33:18And how long will that take?
33:20Three to five days.
33:21Until then, I'll see you later.
33:26Try not to stress or put too much pressure on yourself.
33:30I know that's easier said than done.
33:32Well, meeting with you today has already helped, so I'm glad.
33:36I just really want to be a mom, you know?
33:39Why was Selena Wu really here?
33:42You heard her.
33:43She wanted to lure me back into her gambling underworld.
33:47She wasn't looking to collect.
33:51You in, like, some kind of trouble, man?
33:54No.
33:55You sure?
33:56I'm okay, Dante.
33:58Really?
33:58Okay.
33:59Let me know if you are.
34:00I can help.
34:01And I'm way less scary than Selena Wu.
34:06I'm just saying, I know Drew.
34:07And I could see him falling in love with his position in D.C. and then moving there.
34:12Well, he strongly implied that that wouldn't happen.
34:16But if it does, if he takes my granddaughter away from everything that she knows and loves
34:21right after her mother dies, I'm gonna fight him.
34:24And I will win.
34:26So what is the goal here?
34:30To break Drew and Willow's bond.
34:33To get her to start thinking for herself again.
34:37Well, Nina, what are you waiting for?
34:40It's not that simple, Ava.
34:42Yeah, but it is.
34:45Willow thinks that Drew is above reproach.
34:47You have proof that he's not.
34:50Tell Willow who he really is.
34:54Tell her that while she and Drew were falling in love, he was having sex with her mother.
35:08God, what now?
35:12Chase!
35:14How'd it go with the doctor?
35:15This has to stop.
35:17You can't keep Wiley and Amelia from Willow.
35:24Willow?
35:39You wanted to see me.
35:41It's about Michael.
