00:00Are you okay?
00:03Yeah.
00:05Liar.
00:09Let me guess, it has something to do with Drew.
00:12How'd you know?
00:14Because most things do these days.
00:17What'd the congressman do now?
00:21Nina's distracting Lylee and Amelia, but who knows how long it will last.
00:25Yeah, so say what you gotta say, Carly, and then you can leave.
00:28What are you thinking?
00:30Moving the kids in here? Are you sure that's what's best for them?
00:34Yes, I am.
00:35This is Wiley and Amelia's home now.
00:37No, it's not!
00:39You can move in with me, move back in with your mom.
00:41Hell, you can stay at the Metro Court to find your own place there.
00:44Carly, stop.
00:45You have no right to dictate our lives.
00:49But Michael does.
00:50And I'm here because he can't be.
00:53Those are Michael's kids too, Willow.
00:55And if he can't be here to fight for them, then I'm gonna do it for him.
00:58Sorry I'm late.
01:04It's okay, you're not that late.
01:06And it must be for a good reason with a smile like that.
01:08What's up?
01:09This is all thanks to you, you know?
01:11What's thanks to me?
01:12I'm gonna play a football game.
01:15I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:18And I've decided that moving out of the court means it's what's best for me and the baby.
01:24Can I ask why?
01:26Well, I have to walk the walk, right?
01:30All I've been saying is how I want to be independent and make a life for us on my own.
01:36And that can't happen if we're living here.
01:40Are you mad?
01:42No.
01:43I mean, you get to raise the baby however and wherever you want.
01:49I just, uh, I guess I was hoping that wherever would be, would be here.
01:56Hey, Grandma.
01:57We need to have a little chat about your prior arrest in California.
02:05I already told you that.
02:06It's all right.
02:07We won't be violating in the NDAs.
02:10Right.
02:11I guess I have the WSP to thank for that.
02:14Particulars don't matter.
02:15What matters is that I got hold of your sealed arrest records.
02:26And I know everything.
02:31You want me to get into environmental physics?
02:35That's my mission.
02:37That's right.
02:39And I'm taking this class because...
02:43You need to get close to the instructor.
02:45Professor Dalton.
02:47Unless you are listening.
02:48Why am I cozying up to this guy?
02:51Jax, you're on a need-to-know basis here.
02:55Okay.
02:56Tell me what I need to know.
02:59There you are.
03:01So, the Lonergan deposition?
03:03A complete scene.
03:07There I am, grilling that louse, the husband,
03:12about his alleged infidelity
03:14when suddenly Mrs. Lonergan goes rogue,
03:17leaps across the table,
03:18starts strangling with her bare hands.
03:21Ha-ha.
03:23Oh, I love my job.
03:25Ha-ha-ha.
03:27Okay, well, I guess you had to be there.
03:32Alexis, what's wrong?
03:34It's bad.
03:35Die.
03:36It's really bad.
03:37What is it?
03:48Before I tell you,
03:50I need to hire you as my lawyer.
03:52Everything you have told me
04:19since you arrived in Port Charles
04:21has been a lie.
04:23Not everything.
04:25Oh, okay.
04:26So you weren't thrown out of your previous school
04:28because the party got out of hand.
04:30Uh, no.
04:31But the party did happen.
04:32Right, as a distraction
04:35so that you could commit
04:37the actual crimes
04:38that you got kicked out for.
04:40Right, okay.
04:40And I have those here.
04:42Here we are.
04:44Breaking and entering,
04:47trespassing,
04:48and assault.
04:51Have I missed anything?
04:53Here's what I can say.
04:54The WSB arranged for your enrollment
04:56in environmental physics.
04:58Your mission...
04:59Should I choose to accept it?
05:00Sorry.
05:04My mission?
05:05Is to secure a spot
05:06as Professor Dalton's research assistant.
05:09How am I supposed to do that?
05:11I'm starting the semester late.
05:13He's got to have other students
05:15lined up for the position already.
05:17Then I suggest you make your way
05:18to the front of the line.
05:19Do you have any suggestions?
05:22Jax,
05:23we recruited you for a reason.
05:26We've given you the instructions
05:27and the tools.
05:27Now,
05:28this is your school
05:30and
05:30you're resourceful.
05:32So it's up to you
05:33to do the rest.
05:37You can't handle that,
05:38can't you?
05:41Laura and I agree
05:42that the original location
05:43for the Esplanade
05:44is what's best
05:45for poor Charles.
05:46But, um,
05:49Ezra Boyle,
05:50who's obviously in bed
05:51with Drew
05:52and Sidwell,
05:54they want to move it
05:54to Sonny's peers.
05:57Boyle wants to make it look like
05:58Laura is doing Sonny's bidding
06:00and hiding behind
06:01her position to do it.
06:03And unless Laura wants to be seen
06:05as abusing her power
06:06to protect Sonny,
06:09she's going to have to go along
06:10with what Sidwell wants.
06:11And that's exactly
06:12what Drew wants.
06:13Exactly.
06:15And I know
06:15that they have history,
06:17but Laura would never
06:18put her friendship
06:19with Sonny
06:20over her duties
06:21as a mayor.
06:22Well, we know that.
06:24But, um,
06:26perception is reality.
06:28If Boyle gets his story out,
06:30it could likely be
06:30the end of Laura's career.
06:32But Drew is the one
06:33who is doing this.
06:34Boyle,
06:35he's just the puppet.
06:36Pretty much.
06:37Is there anyone's life
06:38that Drew isn't trying to ruin?
06:40That's exactly why
06:41I'm trying to keep him
06:42away from Kai.
06:43Wait,
06:44what does any of this
06:45have to do with Kai?
06:47When you say you're going
06:48to play football again,
06:50I mean that the hope,
06:52the goal is to play football again
06:54after I have my surgery.
06:57Okay.
06:58Um,
06:58well,
06:59I just thought you were
07:00waiting to decide
07:01until my mom came back
07:02with the research
07:03so that you could figure out
07:04if you're going to go through
07:05with it or not.
07:05I was going to.
07:07Did you even have
07:08a consultation with the surgeon?
07:09Not yet.
07:10Then what changed?
07:11Well,
07:11I just realized
07:12all that hesitation
07:13and asking people for advice,
07:15that was my fear talking.
07:17You know,
07:17what if the surgery doesn't work
07:18or what if it does work
07:20and I'm not as good
07:20as I was before?
07:22You know,
07:22I can't let these
07:23what ifs hold me back.
07:25Well,
07:25fear
07:26can be healthy
07:28and it's evolution's
07:29way of keeping us safe.
07:30Yes,
07:31okay,
07:31in some situations
07:32for sure,
07:33but in this one,
07:34to be honest,
07:36having the surgery
07:37was never a question.
07:39Okay,
07:39not really.
07:40If there's the smallest chance
07:41I could have my dream back,
07:42I need to take it.
07:43Kai,
07:44football is the reason
07:45you're in this position
07:46to begin with.
07:47And risks
07:48come with the territory.
07:49Okay,
07:49but football is what
07:50makes my life worth living
07:51and it's been that way
07:53since I was a kid.
07:54I don't know,
07:54Kai,
07:55I just feel like
07:55that this is a really
07:56big decision
07:58and it feels like
08:00you're just making
08:01it really fast.
08:02Can I ask you something?
08:03Yes,
08:03of course.
08:05Are you worried
08:05about the actual
08:06surgery itself
08:07or is it because
08:09it's a gift from Drew?
08:12My children,
08:13my decision,
08:15I don't need
08:16your permission
08:17to do anything.
08:21Child.
08:25What?
08:26Child.
08:27Child.
08:28Wiley isn't
08:29technically yours.
08:30Wow,
08:31Carly.
08:33That
08:33might be
08:35the worst thing
08:36you have ever
08:36said to me.
08:37Well,
08:37it's true.
08:38Michael made you
08:39Wiley's mother
08:40when he didn't have to.
08:41He gave you that gift
08:42because he thought
08:42you were a good person.
08:43One who would put
08:45her kids' needs
08:46before her own.
08:47That's exactly
08:47what I'm doing.
08:48No,
08:48you're not.
08:49You're repaying
08:50Michael's extraordinary
08:51kindness by shacking up
08:53with his uncle
08:54and you're uprooting
08:55and confusing his kids
08:56in the process?
08:57I am a good person,
08:58Carly,
08:59and at the bare minimum,
09:00I'm safe.
09:01You chose Sonny
09:02as a father for Michael.
09:04Look how that turned out
09:04for him.
09:06Okay,
09:06so let's say
09:07this romantic story
09:09of yours
09:09works out.
09:11What are you gonna tell
09:13Wiley and Amelia
09:14when they get older?
09:15Huh?
09:16What are you gonna say?
09:16I'm so sorry
09:17that I blew up our lives
09:18and I abandoned your father,
09:19but I couldn't keep my hands
09:20off your great-uncle.
09:21I did not abandon.
09:22I did not abandon.
09:22My children love Drew.
09:26Of course they do.
09:27He's family.
09:28That's what makes it
09:29even more disgusting.
09:30Oh,
09:30and you wouldn't know
09:31anything about getting
09:31involved with multiple
09:32family members,
09:33would you?
09:33I could start listing them,
09:35but I don't think
09:35we got the time.
09:37The willow Michael married
09:38would never do this to him.
09:40I am sorry
09:41for hurting Michael.
09:43I truly mean that,
09:45but this did not happen
09:46in a vacuum,
09:47not early.
09:48No,
09:48as I recall,
09:49it happened
09:50in the quarter main nursery.
09:51Michael and I
09:52were having problems
09:53even before Drew
09:55and I got together
09:55and I am not going
09:57to apologize
09:57for wanting to be with Drew
09:59and I certainly
09:59won't apologize
10:00for falling in love
10:01with him.
10:07Why do you want me
10:08to stay so badly?
10:10I don't know.
10:11I just think it would be
10:11good for you to be here
10:12and I know it would be
10:14good for the baby
10:15and I know the quarter mains
10:16drive each other
10:17crazy,
10:18but underneath it all
10:19they do love each other
10:20and they do take care
10:22of each other.
10:23Do you really believe that?
10:25I do.
10:27Then why'd you spend
10:28most of your life
10:30avoiding them?
10:33No one knows
10:34better than me
10:35how cutting-edge surgery
10:37can change your life.
10:39I really just hate
10:40that the offer
10:41came from Drew.
10:43I don't like it.
10:45but what do you think
10:47that Drew would want
10:48from Kyrie's?
10:50I don't know yet
10:51but I do not want
10:52to stand in that
10:53young man's way.
10:55Well, Drew has proven
10:56himself to be nothing
10:57but untrustworthy.
10:59Of course,
11:00you would question
11:00his motives.
11:01I know that
11:02and I know
11:03that I'm biased
11:04which is why
11:05I wanted Kyrie to talk
11:07with you.
11:08Well, he did.
11:09He asked me
11:10about the surgery
11:11and I looked into it
11:12for him
11:13like I said I would.
11:14And I gotta say,
11:15it's a great option
11:17for him.
11:17Well, I knew
11:19you'd give him
11:19an honest assessment.
11:21You are
11:22an objective
11:23third party
11:24and you
11:26don't owe Drew
11:28anything.
11:31If the surgery
11:32is a success
11:33I'm afraid
11:34that
11:35you might get hurt
11:37playing again
11:37and if it isn't
11:38if it isn't
11:39a success
11:40I just know
11:42that your hopes
11:43and your dreams
11:44would be gone
11:45and you would be
11:47devastated.
11:48You and I
11:49have a lot
11:49of the same concerns
11:50but what about
11:52the Drew part?
11:53I wish I weren't
11:54but I
11:56am worried
11:57about the Drew
11:57of it all.
11:58He's only been
11:59decent to me,
12:00Dream.
12:01I thought my dream
12:02was over
12:03and Drew gave me
12:03hope that it might
12:04not be.
12:05And I know
12:06it's a risk.
12:07And you had to
12:07make the decision
12:08really quick.
12:09To increase
12:09my chances.
12:11But this surgeon
12:12is one of the best
12:13in the world
12:13and if I can get
12:14back to playing
12:15football all of
12:16my fears
12:16the surgery
12:17the recovery
12:18that is all
12:18worth it.
12:20And as long
12:21as I have you
12:22there cheering
12:22me on.
12:28I know football
12:29is your dream
12:30and if there's
12:31a chance for it
12:32to happen again
12:33you have to
12:35pursue every
12:36single option.
12:39I couldn't do
12:40this without you.
12:42Yes you could
12:42but you don't
12:43have to.
12:45Oh.
12:47Um I need
12:48to take care
12:50of something
12:50for Ava.
12:52Yeah.
12:52Oh uh yeah
12:53okay.
12:54I'll text you
12:55later.
12:55Sounds good.
12:56Engagement signed.
13:12Now why do you
13:13need a lawyer?
13:14I don't need
13:15a lawyer.
13:17Christina.
13:18My God.
13:19With everything
13:20that poor girl
13:21has been through
13:21lately
13:22what's happened
13:23to her now?
13:23Nothing happened
13:24to her.
13:25Something happened
13:26because of her.
13:30Honey you're
13:30just gonna have
13:31to come out
13:31and say it.
13:32She caused
13:32Rick's car crash.
13:36What?
13:36She is the reason
13:37that Rick and
13:39Elizabeth were
13:40almost killed.
13:41That can't be true.
13:42She got
13:43his brake lines.
13:46Why?
13:46I mean I know
13:48there's no love
13:49lost between Rick
13:50and Christina
13:52wasn't trying
13:53to kill Rick.
13:54She was trying
13:55to kill Ava.
13:58Are the kids
13:59okay?
14:00Yeah I settled
14:00them down
14:01to watch a movie
14:01I turned the volume
14:03up but it'd be
14:03really great if we
14:04could settle things
14:05down a little in here.
14:06Well you just
14:06missed the big
14:07announcement.
14:08Oh?
14:09Yeah yeah
14:09Willow is in
14:11love with Drew.
14:13You realize you
14:13don't even know
14:14him right?
14:15What does that
14:15even mean Carla?
14:16It means you have
14:17many different
14:18personas and no
14:18one knows what
14:19they're getting
14:19at any given
14:20time.
14:21That's what it
14:21means.
14:22I know who
14:22Drew is and
14:23how I feel
14:24about him.
14:24Wow.
14:25Look and then
14:26she's not even
14:26going to apologize
14:27for it.
14:27Any of it.
14:29You know I
14:29really did think
14:30at the very least
14:31using my son's
14:32burnt body as
14:33a bargaining chip
14:34may merit some
14:35oh I'm sorry
14:35my bad but no
14:37everything I've
14:39done has been
14:40in the best
14:40interest of my
14:41children.
14:42I am a mother
14:43just like you.
14:44I would never
14:45keep my kids
14:46away from their
14:46father Willow.
14:48Really?
14:48AJ might have
14:49something to say
14:50about that.
14:50Yeah and if
14:51you think
14:51Michael is
14:51anything like
14:52AJ you're
14:53too stupid
14:53to be standing
14:54in this room.
14:54The hypocrisy
14:55here is
14:55mind blowing.
14:56Why can't
14:56you see
14:57what everyone
14:57out sees?
14:58Everyone
14:58out sees.
15:00Drew is a
15:00liar.
15:01He's repulsive.
15:02We don't care
15:02what you think
15:03Carly.
15:04For the
15:04millionth time
15:05you don't
15:06get a say.
15:08Yeah Michael
15:09does and I'm
15:11going to make
15:11sure there is
15:12no doubt about
15:13his position.
15:14Well if Michael
15:15has something
15:15to say he's
15:16got to stop
15:17using his
15:17mommy as a
15:18mouthpiece he
15:19needs to heal
15:20get back here
15:21and say it
15:22for himself.
15:27Just start with
15:28the party.
15:29Yeah.
15:29Well I thought
15:30that you said
15:30you knew
15:30everything.
15:31I want to
15:32hear it from
15:32you.
15:34Yeah.
15:36My friends
15:37and I invited
15:37pretty much
15:38everyone we
15:38knew because
15:39we needed
15:39the crowd
15:40to be big.
15:40You wanted
15:41to distract
15:42the campus
15:42security so
15:43that you
15:45could break
15:45into the
15:46lab?
15:47Yeah because
15:47we suspected
15:48that they
15:48were doing
15:49animal testing
15:49in there.
15:50And once
15:51we got
15:51inside it
15:51took about
15:52five seconds
15:52to realize
15:53that everything
15:53we thought
15:53was true.
15:55Okay animals
15:55were banging
15:56around in
15:57their cages
15:57and that was
15:59heartbreaking
16:00grandma.
16:02I'm sure
16:02it was.
16:03The plan
16:04was to get
16:04all the animals
16:05out of the
16:05building but
16:06security caught
16:07us before we
16:08could get
16:08started.
16:09And what
16:09happened when
16:10security
16:10got there?
16:11Total
16:12chaos.
16:14The animals
16:15were trapped
16:15in their cages
16:16and people
16:16were tearing
16:17off in all
16:17directions and
16:18I was one
16:18of them.
16:21What did
16:21you do next
16:22Emma?
16:23I mean I was
16:24trying to get
16:24out of there
16:25but a security
16:25guard grabbed
16:26me and he
16:26swung me
16:27around and
16:27when he did
16:28the crowbar
16:28that I used
16:29to break in
16:29with accidentally
16:30hit him.
16:31God.
16:32I mean I
16:33didn't mean
16:33to okay it
16:34was an accident.
16:34Yes it was
16:35a horrible
16:36accident.
16:37Yeah and
16:37obviously I
16:37could have
16:38been arrested
16:38and you
16:39could have
16:39been charged.
16:40on multiple
16:41counts.
16:41But the school
16:42didn't want the
16:43testing exposed.
16:44Okay so they
16:45offered me the
16:45NDA and they
16:46dropped the charges
16:47in exchange for
16:47my expulsion.
16:49Kind of ironic if
16:50you think about it.
16:51I mean the party
16:52was supposed to be
16:52a perfect cover for
16:53me and it just
16:54ended up being the
16:54perfect cover for
16:55the school.
16:57Thank you for
16:58telling me the truth.
16:59What is that in my
17:00file?
17:01I mean yeah
17:02your account is
17:03pretty consistent
17:04with the arrest
17:06records.
17:06I don't think that
17:10you're really
17:11grasping the
17:12severity of the
17:13situation.
17:14I mean I
17:15believe you
17:15when you say
17:16that it was an
17:17accident that you
17:18hit that security
17:19guard.
17:20But he could have
17:20been seriously
17:21hurt.
17:22I mean what if
17:24he had died
17:25Emma?
17:26I know.
17:28And trust me
17:29when I tell you
17:29I wish so badly
17:31things hadn't
17:32spiraled so far
17:32out of control.
17:33because of your
17:34choices and the
17:36way that you
17:36handled them.
17:38This.
17:39Okay this thing
17:40that you're doing
17:40this is why I
17:42didn't want you to
17:43find out.
17:44Well then now we
17:45can both be upset.
17:47That's why you
17:48hired me right?
17:50My resourcefulness.
17:51One of the
17:52reasons.
17:53Okay.
17:55I will find a
17:56way to get in
17:57with Professor
17:57Dalton and I
17:58will have him
17:59begging me to be
18:01his research
18:01assistant.
18:02It's a spirit?
18:04See how much
18:04smoother things go
18:05when you just
18:06nod and say
18:07yes sir?
18:09I didn't do
18:09any of that.
18:11And I don't
18:11think I'm going
18:12to in the future.
18:14Well let's hope
18:15Professor Dalton
18:15likes spunk.
18:17We don't have
18:17another agent for
18:18this mission.
18:19Wait.
18:20Was that the
18:21reason I was
18:22recruited?
18:23Because I
18:24already attended
18:24PCU?
18:26Jack Brennan
18:27is the best
18:28of the best.
18:30He saw
18:31something special
18:31in you.
18:32That's why
18:33you were here.
18:35Okay.
18:36Well I guess
18:38I should be
18:38relieved.
18:39I mean my
18:39first mission
18:40is doing
18:41something I
18:41already know
18:42how to do.
18:43Be a college
18:44student.
18:45You're not a
18:45student anymore
18:46Jax.
18:47You're an
18:48agent posing
18:48as a student.
18:49Right.
18:50Yeah.
18:52I know.
18:53That's good.
18:54Because your
18:54life as you
18:55knew it is
18:55officially over.
18:57From this
18:57point on
18:58your new
18:59life begins.
18:59That's true.
19:02I've been
19:03estranged from
19:03the quarter
19:04mains for
19:04most of my
19:05adult life.
19:07But since I've
19:08been back,
19:09I don't know,
19:10I think I'm
19:11finally understanding
19:12what it means to
19:13suck things up for
19:14the family.
19:15you certainly do
19:17your share.
19:19Well, you know,
19:20there is value
19:22living here.
19:23Especially for
19:24Danny.
19:26You know, he's
19:27around all his
19:28relatives who
19:29love him, this
19:30big, crazy
19:31family.
19:32Emphasis on
19:33crazy.
19:34Even when they
19:34annoy him, I can
19:35still tell he
19:36loves it.
19:38I think the
19:38baby would too.
19:40I always wanted
19:41a big family.
19:42I never had
19:43one, but I
19:46always hoped
19:46that I would
19:47give my kids
19:47one.
19:49I couldn't
19:49give Danny
19:50that on my
19:50own.
19:51And neither
19:52can you.
19:54Now, look,
19:54this isn't
19:55meant to be a
19:55guilt trip.
19:56You're about
19:56to bring up
19:57Monica.
19:59Yeah, she
20:00may not know
20:01who the real
20:01father is, but
20:02it's still her
20:03family.
20:05And I just
20:05think it would
20:06be nice for
20:07the baby to
20:08be close for
20:10her.
20:10especially since
20:12Michael's other
20:13kids can't
20:13be.
20:16Hey, Dad.
20:17Hey, Sasha.
20:19What's the
20:20matter?
20:21Oh, I
20:22wanted to
20:23bake these
20:23cake pops
20:24for Scout.
20:25They're her
20:26favorite, and
20:27she misses
20:27having them,
20:28so I promised
20:28I'd make her
20:29some using
20:29your recipe,
20:30but, um...
20:30It didn't
20:31go so well.
20:33Yeah, no,
20:33I'm not the
20:34baking person,
20:35and these
20:36were a lot
20:37harder than
20:37I thought
20:37they would
20:38be.
20:38I'm happy
20:39to help
20:40you make
20:40a new
20:40batch.
20:41I told
20:41Scout I
20:42would do
20:42it, so
20:42they have
20:43to be
20:43from me.
20:44Okay, well,
20:45how about
20:46I oversee
20:47things?
20:48That would
20:48work great.
20:50Excellent.
20:51Hey, um,
20:53you guys
20:53good?
20:53I gotta
20:54go.
20:55Yeah,
20:55work great.
20:56Yeah, all
20:56right, good
20:57luck with
20:57those.
20:59Thanks, Dad.
21:02All right,
21:03let's get
21:04started.
21:05This is
21:05gonna be
21:05fun.
21:06What do
21:06we do?
21:06You're
21:09faulting
21:10Michael for
21:10not being
21:11here while
21:11he's recovering
21:12from nearly
21:13dying?
21:13As much as
21:14my heart
21:14breaks for
21:15Michael, and
21:15despite what
21:16you think it
21:17does, he
21:17can't be a
21:18father from
21:18Germany.
21:19He is
21:19fighting to
21:20get back to
21:21his kids, and
21:21you both know
21:22that.
21:23I wanted
21:23Michael to
21:24stay close.
21:24Remember?
21:25I advocated
21:27for Marilyn.
21:27Oh, yeah,
21:27let's have
21:28Michael get
21:29subpar care
21:29because his
21:30cheating wife
21:31thinks that's
21:31bad.
21:31It didn't
21:32matter what
21:32I thought.
21:33Michael chose
21:34to go to
21:35Germany.
21:35You pushed
21:36it.
21:36He did
21:37what you
21:37wanted, and
21:37now you're
21:38whining about
21:38the fallout?
21:39I cannot
21:39believe you're
21:40the woman I
21:40walked down
21:41the aisle.
21:41If I had to
21:42do it all
21:42over again, I
21:43would drag you
21:44as far away
21:45as possible.
21:46And I can't
21:47believe I
21:47didn't see
21:48it.
21:49But you've
21:50been like her
21:50all along.
21:52Been like
21:53who?
21:55Now?
21:55Christina
21:59Christina tried
22:00to kill Ava?
22:02Apparently
22:03things got
22:03heated between
22:05them and
22:05Christina went
22:06into yet
22:07another rage,
22:08and she
22:09cut the
22:10brake line
22:11of Ava's
22:11car, or
22:12at least
22:12what she
22:12thought was
22:13Ava's car,
22:13because it
22:14was Rick's
22:14car who
22:15happened to
22:15be in her
22:16space at
22:17the time.
22:18Apparently
22:19their cars
22:19are similar.
22:20Similar
22:20enough.
22:22Does
22:22Molly
22:23know?
22:24No.
22:26Just
22:26me, and
22:28now you.
22:30Well, that's
22:31a blessing, I
22:31guess, right?
22:33Oh, honey, I'm
22:34so sorry.
22:35I know how
22:36thrilled you
22:37were that your
22:38girls were
22:38becoming close
22:39again.
22:39Maybe Christina
22:40was doing that
22:41because she felt
22:42guilty.
22:44This cannot
22:46get out.
22:47If it does,
22:48your girls may
22:49never recover.
22:49I can't think
22:51straight, so I
22:51need you to come
22:52up with legal
22:53options.
22:53I get it.
22:54I understand.
22:55Tell me what to
22:56do, Di, please.
22:57Tell me, because
22:57I don't know
22:58what to do.
23:00Christina is
23:01facing three
23:02counts of
23:02attempted murder.
23:04The failed
23:04attempt on
23:05Ava, the two
23:06nearly successful
23:07attempts on
23:08Rick and
23:08Elizabeth.
23:09There's no
23:10way out.
23:11I can't even
23:11begin to think
23:12of a way to
23:13defend her.
23:14I can't.
23:24You need to
23:25have Christina
23:26committed.
23:30Come in and
23:31close the door
23:32behind you.
23:34Saying please
23:35wouldn't kill you,
23:36you know.
23:37It actually
23:38might.
23:39Sit down.
23:40Come in here
23:42was a lot more
23:43fun when I was
23:43blackmailing you.
23:45Well, those days
23:46are over.
23:47Now you do what
23:47I say or you
23:48are fired.
23:50What do you want?
23:52Every file,
23:53every test,
23:54every screening,
23:55you name it.
23:56Related to
23:57Drew King.
23:58You're not
23:58serious.
23:59And I need you
24:00to go all the way
24:01back to when he
24:01arrived in Port
24:02Charles.
24:03Don't forget
24:04the Jake Doe
24:04files.
24:05That's over
24:06ten years.
24:07And that's
24:08not even my job.
24:10It is now.
24:12Thanks, Brad.
24:15The only other
24:16alternative is
24:17finding employment
24:17elsewhere.
24:19Somewhere far,
24:20far, far away
24:21from your
24:22precious Lucas.
24:24Well, Lucas
24:25wants nothing
24:26to do with me.
24:27And that could
24:27change.
24:29But it probably
24:30won't if you're
24:31not here.
24:33Why not do it?
24:35What are you
24:37even looking for
24:37anyway?
24:38Drugs?
24:40I'll know it
24:40when I see it.
24:42And, Brad,
24:43don't forget
24:43to mention...
24:43Yeah, I know,
24:44I know.
24:44Shut the door
24:45behind me.
24:52Mr. Ashford.
24:53Hey.
24:54Hey, Kai.
24:55How you doing?
24:55Good.
24:56You just missed
24:57Trina.
24:57You here for lunch?
24:59No, my auntie's
25:00been dropping hints
25:01about how wonderful
25:02the fish tacos
25:02are here,
25:03so I thought
25:04I would surprise
25:04her with
25:05takeout.
25:05So I moved.
25:06The food is great.
25:08Yeah.
25:09So Portia told me
25:11that you asked
25:11her advice
25:12about the surgery.
25:13I did, yeah.
25:15But I actually
25:16made my decision.
25:17I'm doing it.
25:18And you think
25:20that's the right
25:21choice?
25:21Look, Kai,
25:22while you are
25:23a good person,
25:24Drew Cain is not.
25:26If he is taking
25:26an interest in you,
25:28you've got to believe
25:29there's an ulterior motive.
25:30Look, I know
25:31you guys have history,
25:31and I respect that.
25:33But all that Drew's
25:34doing is connecting
25:35me with the doctor.
25:37Be careful.
25:38I mean,
25:39you saw what he did
25:40to his nephew
25:41and what he threatened
25:43to do to the
25:44Quartermain family crypt.
25:46If he could betray
25:46his family like that,
25:48what do you think
25:49he would do to you?
25:49You want me to commit
25:52my own daughter?
25:54Of course I don't
25:54want you to commit her.
25:57But this is her best way.
25:59It's her only way out.
26:01And you know this.
26:02I don't know anything.
26:04And I don't know
26:04that you're right.
26:05And I can't do it.
26:07Listen to me.
26:08Even if we were
26:08to get the charges reduced,
26:09say, attempted murder
26:11second degree,
26:12that's three stacked charges
26:14in the state of New York.
26:16So Christina is looking at
26:1815 years in prison
26:21and that's the
26:22best case scenario.
26:25Maybe it won't come to this.
26:27What won't come to what?
26:28Nobody knows right now.
26:29Nobody knows.
26:30No investigation,
26:31no charges,
26:32and the police
26:32don't know anything.
26:34You and I both know
26:35that whatever's done
26:36in darkness
26:37always comes to light.
26:39Always.
26:39It's just a question of when.
26:42Do you want to live like that?
26:44Jumping out of your skin
26:46every time there's
26:46a knock at the door,
26:47phone rings,
26:48it's the cops,
26:48is it not?
26:50This is Christina's
26:51best chance.
26:53Take it.
26:56Carly,
26:57you've gone too far.
26:58You need to leave
26:59right now.
27:00No, no, no.
27:00Willow's good, right?
27:02You're using your own voice,
27:03you're making your own choices,
27:04you're fine, right?
27:07Nell and I
27:08are nothing alike.
27:09Maybe you're right.
27:10I mean, as sick as she was,
27:11she actually loved Michael.
27:12I can't say the same thing
27:13about you.
27:13I loved Michael.
27:14And a part of me
27:15always will.
27:15And you know that.
27:16You have an interesting way
27:17of showing that.
27:18And at least with Nell,
27:19I knew what I was dealing with,
27:20but you,
27:21I had no idea who you were.
27:23Do you hear yourself?
27:25Nell told Michael
27:26his baby was dead
27:27and gave him
27:28to another couple.
27:29Yes, that's right.
27:30Nell did steal
27:31Michael's child,
27:32but you stole two.
27:33So I guess that means
27:34you're the winner.
27:36How dare you?
27:37How dare you?
27:38You did what you came to do.
27:39Get out
27:40or I'll get the cops
27:41to take you out.
27:42You have got a lot of nerve
27:43coming into our home
27:44and speaking to me like this.
27:46That's right.
27:47But let me tell you something.
27:48That nerve
27:49helped me beat your sister.
27:53And for the sake of Michael
27:54and those kids,
27:55I'm going to beat you too.
27:56Carly,
27:57the days of you
27:58telling me what to do
27:59are over.
28:01You can say
28:02you're here for Michael.
28:03You are here
28:04for you.
28:05And I will do whatever
28:06I want with my kids
28:07because absent Michael
28:08has no say
28:09in anything I do
28:10and neither do you.
28:12So just shut up already.
28:13Everyone here knows
28:14your altruistic mother act
28:15is about as fake
28:16as you are.
28:29I can't,
28:30and she'll never
28:31go along with it.
28:32Well, honey,
28:35with everything
28:35that Christina
28:36has been through
28:37lately,
28:39the fall,
28:40losing the baby,
28:41Sam,
28:43Michael's accident,
28:44you wouldn't need
28:46to get her permission.
28:49What?
28:50Christina's
28:51in therapy,
28:52right?
28:53You could have her
28:54committed involuntarily.
28:55I can't do that.
28:59Oh, no.
29:00No.
29:01She'd never forgive me.
29:03Oh, I think she would.
29:04On what planet?
29:05On the planet
29:06where she understands
29:07that it's a far cry
29:08between a few months
29:09in Ferncliffe
29:10and 15 to 25 years
29:12in Pentonville.
29:14Sonny will never
29:15go along with it.
29:16Sonny has had
29:17his share
29:18of mental health struggles.
29:20He was the one
29:23who suggested
29:23Christina seek out
29:25a therapist
29:25in the first place.
29:26Therapy is a far cry
29:28from a mental institution.
29:30Sonny also understands
29:31the law
29:32better than most,
29:34and he knows
29:34that sometimes
29:34you need to think
29:35outside the box
29:36in order to protect yourself
29:38or protect the ones
29:39you love.
29:40I can't do this
29:41to my family.
29:42You're not doing it
29:43to them, Alexis.
29:45You're doing it
29:46for them.
29:47Besides,
29:49it sets up
29:50Christina
29:51to be in a perfect
29:52position
29:53for a great defense
29:54when the truth comes out.
29:56It also sets up
29:57Molly
29:57to be able
29:58to forgive her sister
30:00when everything
30:01is exposed.
30:03But even
30:04without those
30:05two reasons,
30:07Christina needs help.
30:09She's not...
30:11I know.
30:12Listen to me.
30:13You yourself
30:13went on trial
30:14for a murder
30:15you did not commit
30:16because you disposed
30:17of Christina's gun.
30:19There's a pattern
30:20here, honey.
30:22Christina gets herself
30:23into trouble.
30:24You come in,
30:25clean it all up.
30:28It's not helping.
30:29In fact,
30:29it's having
30:29the opposite effect.
30:33It's time
30:33to take drastic action.
30:38You want to know
30:39what I was thinking
30:40about when I was
30:41in that jail cell?
30:42Grandma?
30:47You?
30:50Me?
30:52Grandma,
30:53I wasn't thinking
30:53about my mom
30:54or my dad
30:56or my records
30:56and my regrets.
30:57I was thinking
30:58about you.
31:00And I was thinking
31:01about how disappointed
31:02you were going
31:03to be in me
31:03and how you were
31:04going to look at me,
31:05which, by the way,
31:06is exactly how
31:07you're looking at me
31:08right now.
31:09How am I looking
31:10at you?
31:11Like you're sad.
31:13Like you can't believe
31:14that I've turned
31:15into this thing
31:15or something.
31:17Emma.
31:24You know I love
31:25my mom and my dad,
31:26right?
31:27Yeah.
31:28So much.
31:31Okay,
31:31but the way
31:32that they have
31:32raised me to believe
31:33that if you do
31:34everything right
31:35and you follow
31:36the rules
31:36that life
31:37is just going
31:38to fall into place
31:38and that's just
31:39not true.
31:41Okay,
31:41playing by the rules,
31:42that doesn't
31:43stop injustice.
31:44And I want to spend
31:45every single day
31:47of my life
31:47fighting for what's right.
31:49I don't think
31:50you're giving
31:51your parents
31:51enough credit.
31:52That is exactly
31:53what they do.
31:54They help people.
31:55No, I know.
31:56And trust me
31:57when I say
31:57I think that
31:58what my parents do
31:59and who they are
32:00is absolutely amazing.
32:02You can agree
32:03on one thing
32:03at least.
32:04but I'm more
32:06like you.
32:08I mean,
32:08we do whatever
32:09we think is right
32:10and we fight
32:11for the people
32:11that can't fight
32:12for themselves.
32:13And sometimes
32:14that means
32:14stepping over the line
32:16and breaking the rules
32:17but that is what
32:17you taught me
32:18and that is why
32:19I thought of you
32:20when I was
32:20in that jail cell.
32:23We do
32:23whatever we think
32:25is right.
32:27Don't we?
32:29Man,
32:30you must be happy
32:31because everyone
32:32thought you were
32:32the master manipulator
32:33in this entire situation
32:34but no,
32:35it's been Willow
32:35all along
32:36making all of these choices.
32:37I don't need Drew
32:38to make any choices for me.
32:39Now,
32:39you want everyone
32:40to believe
32:40that you're the victim
32:41and the heroine
32:42in this ridiculous fairy tale
32:44but you're nothing
32:44but a selfish little bitch.
32:45Make yourself useful
32:46for once, Jason.
32:47Get her out of here.
32:47Let me tell you something.
32:49You guys deserve each other
32:50but you do not deserve
32:51those kids.
32:52You crossed a line today, Carly.
32:54You almost slapped me.
32:56I am your children's mother
32:57for now.
32:59What does that mean?
33:00Let me tell you
33:01what that means.
33:02I'm going to help Michael
33:03get his kids back
33:04and you're never going
33:05to see them again.
33:07Ever.
33:07I have a lot of affirmation
33:24for you
33:25for trying to take action
33:27to help people
33:28and animals in need.
33:32but I think
33:34what I want to know
33:36is that you are remorseful
33:37for the action
33:40that you took
33:40and how it turned out.
33:42I am.
33:43You really got lucky here, Emma.
33:46I mean,
33:47nobody was seriously hurt
33:49this time.
33:50I know
33:50and I'm not saying
33:52it's a bad thing
33:53to hurt animals
33:53but an okay thing
33:54to hurt people.
33:55Right.
33:56Because if something
33:57had actually happened
33:58to that security guard,
33:59can you just believe me
34:04when I say
34:04that I don't always
34:05sleep that well at night?
34:07I've been there
34:07and
34:09I have to live
34:12with the consequences
34:13of that.
34:15I think we are
34:17very alike
34:17in many ways
34:19except that there is
34:21one profound difference
34:23between us
34:24and that is
34:26that I always have
34:27a fine-tuned plan
34:29and I have
34:31significant resources
34:33and training
34:34to back it up
34:36and for me,
34:38you know,
34:38that's the BCPD
34:39or the WSB.
34:41I see what you're saying
34:42and I know
34:44it's been a rocky start,
34:46okay,
34:46but I am determined
34:48to do better
34:49and I still want
34:50to change the world
34:51but I'm going
34:53to do it your way.
34:54You're safer
34:55and smarter.
34:58Definitely.
34:59And
35:00I'm already really
35:01enjoying my class
35:02with Professor Dalton.
35:03I think he's touched
35:04on some pretty cool
35:04ideas already.
35:05Oh, God.
35:06My goodness.
35:08You have a class
35:08that you can stand.
35:10I mean,
35:11that's good.
35:12That's the start.
35:13Yeah.
35:14I'm really sorry
35:15if me being here
35:16has stressed you out.
35:18Your being here
35:18is a gift.
35:21I love you,
35:23Emma.
35:23I do.
35:24profoundly
35:25and
35:26without any hesitation
35:28and no conditions.
35:31All right?
35:31So you never
35:32forget that.
35:36I just,
35:37I just want you
35:38to be
35:39safer
35:40and smarter.
35:42Okay?
35:43Safer and smarter.
35:44Okay, what happens
35:51after I secure
35:52the assistant position?
35:54You keep gaining
35:55Professor Dalton's trust
35:56and wait for further
35:57instructions.
35:58Okay.
35:59I got it.
36:00Good.
36:01Just remember what I said.
36:04This might feel the same.
36:06Going to class,
36:07hanging out with friends,
36:08getting your assignments in.
36:10This isn't school anymore.
36:11There are no makeup exams
36:13or extra credit.
36:14If you fail this mission,
36:15there will be serious
36:16consequences
36:17for all of us.
36:19A visit from your father
36:22and now you?
36:24What did I do
36:24to get so lucky?
36:26I wish I was here
36:27for a good reason.
36:28Okay, what's wrong?
36:30Kai's not waiting
36:31for your opinion
36:31for the surgery.
36:33He's made up his mind.
36:34He's going through with it.
36:35I appreciate the warning
36:38and I appreciate
36:39your family looking out
36:40for me.
36:42Just promise me
36:43you'll be careful, okay?
36:44Drew is...
36:46He's shrewd
36:47and he's manipulative
36:48and there is always
36:50something in it for him.
36:51I just don't see
36:52what he could possibly
36:53get from me.
36:54I'm in college
36:55and the guy
36:56is a congressman.
36:57Yeah.
36:58I wish I could tell you
36:59what he's after
36:59but I haven't figured
37:00it out yet.
37:02Just know, Kai,
37:03that this favor
37:04he's doing for you
37:05is going to come
37:07at a cost
37:07and it may be higher
37:10than you could have
37:10ever imagined.
37:12I cannot believe
37:13that just happened.
37:14You did great!
37:16Holding your own
37:17against Carly
37:17is no small feat.
37:19Can she really
37:20take Wily and Amelia?
37:22Carly has her resources
37:23but so do I
37:25and I promise you
37:27with everything in me
37:29I will not let you
37:30lose your kids.
37:35I don't need you
37:37to drive me home.
37:38You're too upset right now.
37:39Did he text you
37:40and tell you
37:40to come get me?
37:41What were you thinking?
37:42Is that a real question?
37:43That's just a real question.
37:44Attacking Willow
37:45is going to push her
37:46and the kids farther away
37:47and make Drew
37:47look like a savior.
37:48I don't care!
37:49I gave Willow space
37:50to make the right decision
37:51and that didn't work
37:52so now it's time to fight
37:54and I can fight
37:55a hell of a lot harder
37:55than they can.
37:56I know this is
37:59a lot to take in
38:00and you don't have
38:01to decide this second.
38:04It don't take too long, huh?
38:12Do it.
38:15Drop the papers
38:16and have Christina committed.
38:21On the next
38:22General Hospital
38:22what did you find out?
38:23I'm scared
38:24there's some truth to it.
38:25This may not be
38:26the done deal
38:27that you think it is.
38:27Maybe this is
38:28the one good thing
38:29to come from
38:30my dad's accident.
38:31Is somebody pressuring you
38:32to come after me?
38:33I may have just
38:34handed Michael's children
38:35over to Willow and Drew.
