00:00Is it just me, or have things calmed down around here?
00:02Well, with all that Crip stuff finally being settled, everyone can finally take a breath.
00:08We're also down a man.
00:10With your mom being back in Bensonhurst.
00:12Oh, right.
00:14Do you think that was a good call?
00:17My mom going back?
00:19I love her, but we definitely needed some space.
00:24There you two are!
00:25I've been looking all over for you.
00:27For us? Why?
00:28I had a surprise for you!
00:30Come on in!
00:33Ta-da!
00:35Isn't it the best?
00:38Welcome home, Lo.
00:45Lulu Spencer in my stables.
00:48Oh, don't you mean the quartermaid stables?
00:50Ah, potato, potato.
00:52To what do I owe the pleasure?
00:54You might want to sit down for this.
00:59I don't think I do.
01:01I'm here to apologize.
01:03Would you clean out my lollipop stash?
01:05No, I think there might be a few left.
01:07Okay, so what'd you do?
01:11I played you, Cody.
01:14And I thought I should come clean about it before you figured it out.
01:18Okay.
01:20I lied to you when I said I knew about Dante and Brooklyn.
01:25I didn't know that they'd ever been a thing until you confirmed it for me.
01:29Is that right?
01:33Uh, care to explain?
01:41Good morning.
01:43What's wrong?
01:45What do you mean, what's wrong?
01:46Well, you're attempting to whistle.
01:49Would you rather I sing?
01:50God, no.
01:51No!
01:52But you're, dare I say, perky?
01:56And usually, I arrive after you.
02:00I actually went to the gym where I worked out.
02:04It actually does make your day go by better.
02:08Who are you?
02:09Is this you in a good mood?
02:12Did Rick die?
02:13Diane!
02:14Well, it's a fair question.
02:16No, as far as I know, he's still alive.
02:18Well, then what has gotten into you?
02:22I got my girls back.
02:30Christina!
02:31Hey.
02:32Hi.
02:32How you feeling?
02:34Pretty good, actually.
02:35I'm just bored out of my mind.
02:38You mind if I come in?
02:39No, come in.
02:40Come in, please.
02:42These are for you.
02:43Add these to the others you're getting.
02:46Definitely feel loved.
02:47Thank you so much.
02:48This is really sweet of you.
02:50Yeah, I'm just so sorry this happened.
02:53For you and for Rick.
02:54It's awful.
02:56Yeah, not my best car ride ever.
02:59But I'm glad we're both okay.
03:02Thank God.
03:03It's really nice of you to come chug on me.
03:06Yeah, of course.
03:08You were really there for me when I lost my baby.
03:11And you had my back when Ava tried to take Avery.
03:15And you're always there for everyone else.
03:17So I just wanted to do the same for you.
03:22No.
03:27I just can't get over it.
03:29How rare for an opportunity like this to fall into our laps.
03:34It didn't fall into our laps, Ava.
03:37My brakes were cut and I almost was murdered.
03:40As was Elizabeth.
03:41Christina is certifiable.
03:43Cutting the brakes on my car.
03:44What she thought was my car in the hopes that I'd go careening to my death.
03:48Okay, okay.
03:49The more I think about this, we go to the police.
03:52And what does that really get us?
03:53A lunatic off the street?
03:55Couldn't we aim higher?
03:59Bigger?
04:00Couldn't we use this information to our advantage?
04:03Okay, as tempting as that sounds,
04:05blackmailing Sonny will get us nowhere.
04:08Except maybe an early grave.
04:09Oh, Rick, I'm not planning on blackmailing Sonny.
04:13I have something far better in mind.
04:19Lois!
04:19Didn't expect you back so soon.
04:21Soon?
04:22It seems like she was gone a million years.
04:24Well, I would have given you all a heads up,
04:26but Olivia wanted it to be a surprise, so surprise!
04:32Mission accomplished.
04:36Can I get a hug?
04:38Yeah, of course.
04:43Welcome home, Ma.
04:47Shoot, you know what?
04:48I've got a deception call that I've got to get on.
04:52We'll catch up later, okay?
04:56You know what?
04:56I'm gonna go help her with that.
04:57With a deception call?
04:59Yeah, those video calls can be tricky.
05:00You gotta enable the audio and the camera and put it in gallery view.
05:05I mean, it's a whole thing.
05:06I totally get it.
05:08I had a call like that once and the camera did this whole jiggly thing.
05:11It wasn't great, so yeah.
05:13Just one more thing I need to check.
05:15It's good to have you home, Lois.
05:22What?
05:23Don't give me what.
05:26I know you and Brooklyn had a fight,
05:27but now you can't be in the same room together?
05:30What the hell is going on?
05:33Why are you dredging up ancient history?
05:35Like you're telling Lulu?
05:36I didn't.
05:37No, I...
05:37Well, it kind of sounds like you did.
05:39This isn't Cody's fault.
05:40I tricked him into telling me.
05:42What?
05:43Why?
05:45I had a hunch you weren't being entirely open about your history with Brooklyn,
05:50and my curiosity got the best of me.
05:53And I figured that Cody would be the one that would know the truth.
05:57Oh, yeah.
05:57I'm sure you really had to drag it out of him.
06:00I thought she already knew, man.
06:01I would never have done that.
06:03You know how good I am at getting information when I want to.
06:07Again, I am sorry for misleading you.
06:09Apology not even close to accepted.
06:11You two need to figure out whatever weird thing you're doing.
06:14I gotta feed the horses.
06:18What are you doing, Lulu?
06:20Why dig up old dirt on me and Brooklyn?
06:24Why lie to me for years about Brooklyn?
06:29Molly went to check on Rick to see if he was okay after the car crash.
06:34That makes sense.
06:35Christina was there, too.
06:37At the hospital, that makes less sense.
06:39Christina can't stand the sight of Rick, and rightly so.
06:42Christina wasn't there for Rick.
06:44She was there for Molly.
06:46She was finally able to put aside all of that animosity that she had.
06:50For the first time since they lost the baby, the two girls connected.
06:56And Molly was receptive to all this.
06:58Yes.
06:59They both put their weapons down and came together in a way that they hadn't for...
07:04I don't even know how long.
07:05Oh, honey, I know this means everything to you.
07:09It does.
07:10And you know, I didn't really realize how much until it happened.
07:14How's the patient?
07:16Better by the minute, thanks to my well-wishers.
07:20Good to see you, Christina.
07:22Everything good?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Yeah, great.
07:27Lucky?
07:28Elizabeth?
07:29Are you sneaking contraband into the hospital?
07:32Yes, but don't tell the head nurse.
07:35By any chance, is it a baked good from her youngest son?
07:39Man, I can't get anything past you.
07:41Yes, courtesy of Aiden.
07:42Oh, I told him not to, but I'm so glad he did.
07:45You need to have one of these.
07:46They're so good.
07:46Oh, you know what?
07:47I am still totally full from breakfast, and I actually should get going, so...
07:52Thank you for coming to see me.
07:53And my beautiful flowers.
07:55Of course.
07:57Actually, Christina, I need to speak to you.
08:00It's a Charlie's thing.
08:04Okay, sure.
08:05Yeah.
08:05I'll be right back.
08:06Okay.
08:13Alexis is the one who's gonna pay.
08:18I see.
08:21So you're gonna use Christina's crimes...
08:23Attempted murder.
08:24...to blackmail Alexis to get her to reopen the Cassidyne coffers.
08:29It's just inspired, isn't it?
08:31Yeah, except Christina.
08:32It's just inspired, isn't it?
08:34Yeah, except Christina goes free.
08:36So?
08:37So? I almost died.
08:40Elizabeth broke her leg.
08:41She had to have surgery on it.
08:43She could have been paralyzed.
08:44All right, I've seen your precious Elizabeth, and she's just fine.
08:47And she's not the delicate flower you and Nicholas make her out to be, by the way.
08:51The woman can handle herself.
08:52Look, Elizabeth deserves to know the truth about the accident.
08:54She should have her day in court.
08:56I didn't realize you were so driven by justice.
08:59I thought a nice, fat payday would keep you warmer at night than that.
09:03Yeah, most times it would.
09:05Okay, well, I have a question for you.
09:08How will Molly feel if you send her only remaining sister to prison?
09:16So how's that deception call going?
09:19Sorry for bailing.
09:21I just feel like I got ambushed up there.
09:23And I don't know, my body just went into fighter flight mode,
09:27and I guess I chose flight.
09:29I don't think ambush was your mother's intention.
09:31Then what was?
09:32She missed you, and she wanted to see you.
09:35The sneak attack was Olivia's idea.
09:37You're being very generous, okay?
09:39I think my mom didn't want to give me the heads up
09:43because she was afraid that I'd tell her to stay in Bensonhurst.
09:45Would you have?
09:46I don't know, but just seeing her has got me all fired up again.
09:51Fired up because Lois told Gloria about your baby without your permission?
09:54Or knowledge.
09:56Or because Lois is a walking reminder about the secret
09:58that you and Dante have a son to begin with?
10:01I'm not going to rehash my childhood with you, Lulu.
10:03What happened with me and Brooklyn, we were teenagers, and it was nothing.
10:09Then why lie about it?
10:12And if memory serves, and I know that mine might be a little bit rusty,
10:16Brooklyn was very much an adult when she came to Port Charles to break us up.
10:20Tried to break us up, it didn't work.
10:22So that makes it okay?
10:23No, Lulu, it makes it this thing that happened so long ago,
10:26I can't believe we're still talking about it.
10:28So much has happened since then.
10:30Like, why are you so laser-focused on Brooklyn right now?
10:34Because I don't enjoy being lied to.
10:36Or gaslit.
10:37Who's gaslighting you?
10:38You.
10:40My parents taught me to trust my gut,
10:42and it always told me that there was something more going on
10:45between you and Brooklyn than you were letting on.
10:47But when I asked you about it,
10:49you made me feel like I'm crazy, like it's outside the realm of possibility.
10:53And now we find out that that isn't true.
10:56And it makes me think, after everything we've been through...
11:00What?
11:02It makes me wonder if you're someone I can trust.
11:06Christina has struggled so much with this,
11:09and I know that Molly has too.
11:11Yeah, but Molly's always been somehow better at it.
11:14I'm not gonna lie, she has been better at it
11:17because she's emotionally stronger.
11:18She just is.
11:20She's able to put one foot in front of the other
11:22and face whatever comes at her head on.
11:24Well, Christina's always been a little...
11:27Fragile, then volatile, right?
11:29You think? A little?
11:31Well, listen, it's okay, though.
11:33Because Christina's a very passionate young woman,
11:36who, when she does get knocked down,
11:38yes, she takes a little longer to get up,
11:40but she always gets up, Alexis.
11:41You know, I think Christina saw Molly as the enemy
11:44because of the way she grieves.
11:46Molly grieved differently.
11:48She did. She has a totally different process,
11:50and Christina interpreted that
11:52as her not having big enough feelings
11:55and that Molly's feelings weren't right.
11:57And now?
11:59And now I think she realizes that,
12:01and she realizes that she can't heal without her sister.
12:06That's a beautiful realization.
12:08It's a relief.
12:10I think they're each other's missing piece.
12:14And they need each other to lean on.
12:16They do to heal after everything we've all had to go through.
12:20This has been a grueling, torturous, god-awful storm,
12:25honey, but you have weathered it,
12:27and there are fairer days ahead.
12:29You know what? I'm really starting to feel that.
12:33I am.
12:35Not only does Molly respect and understand the law,
12:39she has more integrity in her pinky
12:41than I do in my entire body.
12:43I swear, sometimes I don't even know where she gets it.
12:46Certainly not from her mother.
12:48God knows.
12:49I have given Alexis a lot of grief over this,
12:51but I think it was actually beneficial
12:53that Molly wasn't the central focus of Alexis's parenting.
12:56If Sonny or Alexis had ever made Christina
12:59actually pay for any of her mistakes,
13:01she probably wouldn't be such a train wreck.
13:02Yes, exactly.
13:03And because Christina had to have more and more attention all the time,
13:08Molly was forced to be independent.
13:10I'm telling you, my daughter is the definition of responsible.
13:13While her sister is decidedly not.
13:16That's exactly my point.
13:17You do realize that by covering this up and blackmailing Alexis,
13:21you are allowing said train wreck to escape all culpability.
13:25Are you prepared to risk that?
13:28She's a loose cannon, Ava.
13:30It's not going to take much for Christina to fly off the handle
13:33and try to kill you again.
13:39What were you doing in Elizabeth's room?
13:41You know what I was doing in Elizabeth's room.
13:43I was, I was visiting her.
13:45I brought her flowers.
13:46Is that all?
13:48You mean, like, did I bring her chocolates, too?
13:50I was checking on her.
13:52I wanted to see that she was okay for myself.
13:55And then what?
13:58What do you mean, then what?
13:59Were you thinking about confessing?
14:04Maybe. I don't know.
14:05Maybe?
14:05Maybe.
14:06Okay? I feel terrible, Lucky.
14:08Yeah, of course you do.
14:09Yeah, of course you do.
14:10And you should.
14:11Elizabeth almost died because of me.
14:14And I almost killed my sister's father.
14:17I'm sorry, Lucky.
14:18But that's, that's, I don't know if I can live with that.
14:23This is about something from a long time ago.
14:25You know, I, I, I made some decisions where Brooklyn is concerned.
14:31And I thought they were in her best interest.
14:35And I guess she did not agree with this decision?
14:38She had every right not to, you know?
14:40This is, it's personal for her, honey.
14:44I'm sorry, I can't get into it.
14:46Understood, understood.
14:48But something's got to give, you know?
14:50I mean, I just cannot handle this kind of distance with my daughter.
14:55Trust me, Chase.
14:55I don't need my mom to remind me that I've got a son out there.
14:58It's not exactly something I'd forget.
15:00I didn't mean to hit a nerve.
15:03Lately, I just feel like one big nerve.
15:07And whenever I see Dante, or my dad, or Olivia, or Uncle Sonny,
15:11or basically anybody in our inner circle, it hits me right in the face.
15:15How many people would have loved my child?
15:17They don't even know he exists.
15:19That's a lot to carry.
15:21It was a lot easier when I was younger.
15:24You know, I was a kid.
15:25I had no business raising a child.
15:26But now?
15:28You're not a kid anymore.
15:30Adulting stinks, in case nobody's told you.
15:33Hey, look at me.
15:37If this is a secret that you genuinely want to keep,
15:40I will support you.
15:41And I'll go to my grave without ever telling a soul.
15:44I know you will.
15:45But if you don't want the truth to come out,
15:48you gotta do a way better job of hiding it.
15:51You don't feel like you can trust me because of
15:55some camp romance I didn't tell you about?
15:57You lied, Dante.
15:58I omitted a detail that I didn't think mattered.
16:02Okay, a lie by omission, whatever.
16:04You still weren't honest.
16:06Okay, you win, okay?
16:08Every nook and cranny about my life that has happened to me,
16:11you're entitled to know about whether or not
16:13you were a part of it then or not, okay?
16:14My bad.
16:15Brooklyn wasn't something you shoved in some nook
16:17or some cranny and forgot about.
16:19Well, the camp thing was, actually.
16:22But fine, I should have told you about it.
16:24I should have told you what happened,
16:25even though we were teenagers,
16:26even though it amounted to exactly nothing.
16:29Okay, so here you go.
16:31Dante.
16:32No, no, no, no.
16:32You want to know everything?
16:33This is everything, okay?
16:34For one summer, Brooklyn and I were training
16:37to be camp counselors, okay?
16:38Together, and we hooked up.
16:40And that's it.
16:42We didn't even stay together after camp.
16:44I mean, it was over before it even started.
16:46And then, you know, we went on and had lives
16:49and made lives with other people.
16:51And then you happened.
16:54And Sam happened.
16:55And Brooklyn and Chase got married.
16:56Do you see what I'm trying to say to you?
17:00Yes, but...
17:00No, that's it.
17:01There is no but.
17:03Nothing that went down that summer mattered.
17:05But what if it did?
17:07It's a good thing that you feel guilty.
17:11No, it means you're not some kind of sociopath
17:14who goes around hurting people without caring.
17:17But here's the thing, Christina.
17:18You can't take that guilt and put it on Elizabeth.
17:23I'm not.
17:23Yes, you are.
17:25And not only is it not fair to her,
17:26it's going to end up getting you caught.
17:29So you need to decide,
17:30you need to decide,
17:31is that what you want?
17:33I don't know.
17:35What I want is,
17:37I want to not put Elizabeth in any more harm
17:41than I already have.
17:42Okay, good.
17:42But if you decide that you can't live with this,
17:44your next stop needs to be your mom's office
17:47and not Elizabeth's hospital room.
17:50So go to your mom.
17:52Work on a confession with her.
17:53That'll get you a plea deal.
17:55One that doesn't send you to prison
17:57for the rest of your life.
17:59You rang?
18:00I did.
18:02What's up?
18:03Can you help me into this wheelchair?
18:06There's someone I need to visit.
18:08There's risk in everything.
18:10Not like this, Ava.
18:12You're not taking your chances crossing the street.
18:14Christina tried to kill you
18:16and she couldn't make another attempt.
18:18I can handle Christina.
18:20How?
18:21You didn't see this one coming.
18:22But now I'm on guard.
18:24I didn't want it to come to this.
18:26After the accident last summer,
18:27I did my very best to steer clear of Christina.
18:31I wanted us both to have a peaceful path forward.
18:35But she wouldn't have it.
18:38Not sending her to prison
18:40is the very last grace I will extend to her.
18:43Oh, how generous.
18:45Especially when you're extorting millions from her mother.
18:49Well, that's just business, Rick.
18:51I may despise Alexis,
18:52but I'm willing to work with her
18:54on a mutually beneficial transaction.
18:58Just one?
19:00Multiple transactions.
19:02Like a steady IV drip.
19:09You get some rest, okay?
19:11I'll let you know how it goes.
19:14Be right here.
19:18All right, enough about my family.
19:19Talk to me about this new prospect
19:22you would like me to consider.
19:24Well, oh, look at that.
19:26Right on time.
19:31Marco, I am so glad you could stop by.
19:35My pleasure.
19:36May I introduce you to my law partner, Alexis Davis?
19:39Alexis, meet Marco Rios.
19:41Very nice to meet you.
19:42You as well.
19:43Have a seat.
19:45Wouldn't you know it.
19:46I have been called into Judges Chambers.
19:50That's fine.
19:50That will give the two of you
19:53a chance to get to know each other better.
19:56Marco, you should know Alexis is the good cop.
20:05I'm over it.
20:05Over it?
20:07You're over it.
20:08I'm over it.
20:08You're over it.
20:09And most days.
20:16You want me to talk to Brooklyn?
20:20What good would that do?
20:22You know, I know and love you both.
20:24I'm removed enough to be a little bit objective.
20:26You know, maybe I could help the two of you
20:28sort this thing out.
20:30I think it might just make things worse.
20:32How could it be any worse?
20:35I mean, you know, I know I live at the Quartermains,
20:37but I do still have the ability to be tactful.
20:40I know you do.
20:42I just think that this is something that Brooklyn and I
20:45need to figure out ourselves.
20:47Too many cooks in the kitchen?
20:49Maybe.
20:50I guess you're right.
20:51Direct communication is always going to be the best.
20:53I just, I can't stand to see you hurting.
20:58Just know, if you need help with Brooklyn or anything else,
21:05I'm here for you, always.
21:08I know you are.
21:10Look, I'm not trying to make you paranoid.
21:13Too late.
21:14But you're lucky that it was me and Olivia at the house.
21:17Could you imagine if Tracy or Dante saw that reunion?
21:20Granny definitely would have been asking questions.
21:22She already has.
21:23And Dante would have been more discreet,
21:25but come on, he's a cop.
21:26OK, so then what do I do?
21:28Just avoid Ma altogether so that we're
21:30not tense around each other?
21:31That'll only make it more obvious.
21:34I think you need to come together,
21:35and you need to fix it.
21:37I don't know how, Chase.
21:38I am still so angry.
21:41I know.
21:44But you also love your mom.
21:48I do.
21:49She's my ride or die.
21:50It's probably why it hurts so much.
21:53Look, I swear I'm not trying to guilt you,
21:56but I would give anything to have one more day with my dad.
22:00Even an hour or a minute.
22:03And the last thing I'd want to do is spend it fighting.
22:05I know you wouldn't, but you and Gregory.
22:09We're just as close as you and your mom.
22:12It's true.
22:13So I'm thinking, if you really want to keep this secret,
22:17you got to figure out a way to get over the hurt
22:19and forgive her.
22:22I kind of feel like maybe you're grabbing onto this thing
22:25with Brooklyn because of all the changes
22:29that have happened in your life.
22:33Dr. Falconeri, I will keep your diagnosis in mind.
22:36All right, look, I'm not actually
22:37trying to psychoanalyze you.
22:38Good, because I have Kevin for that.
22:40I just don't think this thing with Brooklyn is good for you,
22:43and it's not rooted in anything real.
22:47How would you feel if I was freaking out about some guy
22:49you had a crush on in your teens?
22:50Brooklyn is not some guy.
22:52No, she's not, but you're making her
22:53out to be more than she is.
22:56We were two kids with a crush.
22:58Full stop.
22:59And when she came to Port Charles.
23:03Did you have any lingering feelings for her?
23:07When Brooklyn came to Port Charles,
23:08the only woman in my heart, the only woman who's ever
23:10truly had my heart was you.
23:16Sure, by now you've gathered that Diane's and my goal
23:21is to strike a healthy balance between rainmakers
23:24and justice seekers.
23:26I tend to be more open to pro bono work,
23:29and Diane gravitates toward banking billable hours.
23:34Sounds like you make a good team.
23:35I think we do.
23:38Most of our income comes from criminal law retainers,
23:42and I noticed that that was a specialty
23:45of yours at some point.
23:47At one point, yes.
23:48I tend to focus on more entrepreneurially
23:50legitimate clients now.
23:52OK, so how would you feel about representing
23:54a client who has been alleged to engage
23:57in an illegal enterprise?
24:00That depends.
24:01How so?
24:03If I'm being made explicitly aware
24:04of the alleged illegal enterprise.
24:07So you're trying to scare me now?
24:09Scare you? No.
24:10No, I'm just trying to be real with you.
24:12I mean, what reason do I have to coddle you?
24:16Don't flatter yourself.
24:16I don't need you to coddle me, OK?
24:18Here's the reality for me in all of this, OK?
24:21I am putting myself on the line, lying
24:24to the woman I love, which I hate.
24:28But I will, because I believe that you're a good person who
24:32made a mistake, and I myself have made a few.
24:38I'm not sure you've been exactly here before.
24:41You know, close enough.
24:43So I will help you cover this up,
24:46but this only works if you commit to it and you get help.
24:52Can you do that?
24:56Hey.
24:58You up for a visitor?
25:00It's you, always.
25:03Thank you, Deanna.
25:04You're welcome.
25:05Can you just give us a few minutes?
25:06Of course.
25:07Thanks.
25:12I was so relieved that you were all right.
25:16When I woke up and they told me that you were hurt.
25:18Greg.
25:21I'm fine.
25:23Broken leg is not exactly fine, Elizabeth.
25:28And the fact that I was driving.
25:34If anything had happened, if I had lost you,
25:39I would have never forgiven myself.
25:45Just the way you like it.
25:46Maybe you don't need to wait on me.
25:48I know my way around here.
25:50Say, a cup of tea.
25:51It's not a luau pig with an apple in its mouth.
25:57Yeah.
25:59Oh, honey.
26:01Honey, it's going to be OK.
26:04You're going to work this out with Brooklyn.
26:07Hey.
26:09You were such a good friend to me, Liv.
26:13I don't know what I would do without you.
26:16Jeez, Louise, I got to bring you tea more often.
26:19No, no, no, I mean it.
26:22What we have, it's special.
26:26No, what we have is ancient.
26:30Can you believe?
26:32We have known each other since before pre-K.
26:35Since you were trying to put my hair in pigtails.
26:37Oh, OK, now pigtails were all the rage back then.
26:40You would have looked so cute and.
26:42Just so you know, just because I don't let you do my hair,
26:47I've always got your back.
26:48Because what we got, it's not just friends.
26:53It's family.
26:57And thank you for saying that.
26:58I say it because I mean it.
27:01And whatever it is you're going through,
27:03when you're ready to open up about it.
27:06Honey, you know I'm a volt. We can tell each other anything.
27:11Capisce?
27:13Capisce.
27:15Good.
27:17I'm going to go check on Monica.
27:26Yeah, we could tell each other anything.
27:30Except this.
27:32I do love my mom very much.
27:35And I want to just snap my fingers and be over this.
27:38But it's hard.
27:40She and my grandma lied to me.
27:43For decades.
27:46And it hurts.
27:48And I thought my mom and I told each other everything.
27:50And she let me think that we did.
27:52Which makes this the ultimate betrayal.
27:58Which makes me the biggest hypocrite on the planet.
28:01Why do you say that?
28:02Because here I am moaning and groaning
28:05about my mom lying to my face and keeping
28:07a secret for all these years.
28:09When I am doing the exact same thing to Dante and my dad.
28:12And about a million other people.
28:18I see why you say that.
28:20But it's not the same thing.
28:22I'm just so glad I don't have to keep anything from you.
28:26I can be honest.
28:29You can trust me with anything.
28:32And if this secret ever gets too big, or too heavy,
28:35or too anything, I will be right by your side
28:39when you come clean.
28:41To Dante or anybody else.
28:44I love you.
28:46If only you knew how much.
28:51You're right.
28:53I should have told you the truth about what happened
28:55with me and Brooklyn.
28:59Stop this thing from blowing up like this.
29:03Nice work.
29:06My God.
29:07It was right again.
29:08Oh, wow.
29:09OK, well, I think also by not telling you what happened,
29:13I gave you another reason to distrust Brooklyn.
29:16Yeah, like I needed another reason.
29:19Sorry for not being honest with you.
29:22And I'm grateful that you know me well enough that you
29:24can call me out on stuff.
29:27Are you grateful, though?
29:28Because it kind of feels like it annoys you.
29:31Let's just say the benefits outweigh the costs.
29:33Fair enough.
29:35I, uh, I want us to be able to trust each other.
29:41It's important for Rocco.
29:44So, uh, no more secrets between us, OK?
29:52Good.
29:54OK, so we're good?
29:57We're good.
29:59I got to find my mom.
30:02Leo wants me to get fake police badges for some school
30:05project he's doing.
30:06Well, you can't at least hook him up with a real badge.
30:08What's the point of having a cop for a brother?
30:10Yeah, I know, right? It's crazy.
30:11You know, you ask your police captain for 25 police badges.
30:14They could go over it differently.
30:18Have fun with the project.
30:24Lulu, what are you trying to pull?
30:30They said that you had to have surgery on your leg.
30:33Looks like it hit your head.
30:34Did they check your spine?
30:36I've gotten the best care.
30:38Yes, I had surgery, but it went well, and I'm fine.
30:42How long is your recovery?
30:44Six to eight weeks, and then there'll be some rehab,
30:47and I'll be walking these halls in no time.
30:51You have the best attitude.
30:53It just caught me in a good moment.
30:57I'm really glad we're both OK.
31:00I was very worried about you.
31:04We're awfully lucky, Rick.
31:06Yeah, we really are.
31:08Yeah.
31:10So do you remember what happened?
31:13In this case, said client would mask
31:16their alleged illegal activities behind a thin veil
31:20of hypotheticals.
31:22Thereby allowing me and my firm legal deniability.
31:26Yes.
31:27Then in that case, as long as said client
31:29doesn't put me or my firm in legal jeopardy,
31:32I believe they're entitled to a defense.
31:34That being said, if the client were
31:36to cross a line that went against a deeply
31:38held belief of mine, I would have
31:39no problem recusing myself for the benefit of us both.
31:43All money isn't good money.
31:45Sometimes it's best to just say no.
31:48Thank you, Mr. Rios.
31:51Please, call me Marco.
31:53Really enjoyed talking to you.
31:54I will confer with Diane, and I think
31:56it's safe to say that a job offer will be forthcoming.
31:59I look forward to receiving it.
32:00Thank you for meeting with me.
32:02It was a pleasure.
32:02Same.
32:18Come in.
32:24Hello, Alexis.
32:25We have a little business to attend to.
32:31I said I was sorry.
32:32And I refuse to accept.
32:34You sought me out and strongly implied
32:36that Brooklyn had told you already that she came clean
32:38about her and Dante, and then whoops, oh no.
32:40No. Never mind.
32:41She didn't.
32:42Look, I can't explain everything.
32:43No, you can't.
32:44No, you can't, Lulu.
32:45And even if you tried, why would I listen to you?
32:48You're spinning a lot of stories to a lot of different people.
32:50And I know a con when I see you.
32:52Lois.
32:53Oh, hey.
32:54My mom said you were coming back.
32:56She did, did she?
32:57Yeah.
32:57I think she was going stir-crazy here without you.
33:00Oh, no.
33:00She was just missing the extra hands, you know?
33:02There's a lot going on with all the kids running around here.
33:07There's a lot of people in this house.
33:08Yeah.
33:09Yeah.
33:10But she loves it, you know?
33:12Being around that family, it's just a lot of fun.
33:15It's a lot of fun.
33:16It's a lot of fun.
33:16It's a lot of fun.
33:17It's a lot of fun.
33:18It's a lot of fun.
33:19It's a lot of fun.
33:20It's a lot of fun.
33:20It's a lot of fun.
33:22Yeah.
33:22It's just, it's a gift.
33:25I think we need to talk.
33:26Dante.
33:27Hey.
33:28Hi.
33:34What do you remember?
33:37Not much.
33:38I remember getting into your car, buckling my seat belt.
33:42We were talking about helping Portia.
33:45And then the car swerved, that's it.
33:49What about you?
33:50I remember I was trying to avoid traffic, so that's why I took route 42.
34:00We were chugging along pretty good there, and then I lost control of the car.
34:11Must have hit some black eyes or something.
34:14I can't confess. And it's not about me, Lucky. It's not. It's, it's my, my parents, okay?
34:22They've both been, they're, they're just going through too much.
34:26My father with his health issues, and my mom, she's, she's gone through enough.
34:31And I can't add Christina Goes to Prison to that list. I just can't.
34:35Okay.
34:37But what do I do if someone finds out?
34:39I've already looked into it. There's currently no police investigation. They're, they're treating it as an accident.
34:45But with the car, I mean, can you tell?
34:47No, I went to the impound lot, and the car's already been through the compactor.
34:53So that's it then?
34:55That's it. As long as we both keep our mouths shut, it's over.
35:01Doesn't it get exhausting showing up in places where you're not wanted?
35:06You know, I don't give that much thought.
35:09Ava, please, go away.
35:13I think that you're going to change your tune once you hear what I have to say.
35:17I doubt it.
35:19You can always make time to discuss Christina's future.
35:22Can't you, Alexis?
