00:00 Okay, there you go. Thank you so much for understanding.
00:04 Miss Spencer.
00:07 Uh, please call me Carly.
00:09 Right.
00:10 So how's it going back there? Don't quit. Please don't quit.
00:13 Katrina and I are making it work. We just came out to keep the barbarians at bay.
00:16 We'll keep up the good work.
00:18 Are you sure that I can't help with anything?
00:22 No, no. I want you focusing on studying. Study for that pre-final, please.
00:26 Okay, Katrina's great, but is she qualified to take over for the cook?
00:29 Yeah, yeah. She knows her way around a kitchen.
00:31 I just wish the stove was working.
00:33 There's no stove.
00:34 And I keep trying to call the usual repairman, and he is on an emergency.
00:38 Okay, this is an emergency. I have a jack of all trades.
00:41 At least I used to.
00:45 You have to complete the JST in under four minutes and twenty-eight seconds.
00:54 Any questions?
00:55 Ready whenever you are.
00:58 [music]
01:01 [whistle]
01:02 You best kick whoever's sitting at my desk out of my chair because I am on my way.
01:07 That is right. I am back.
01:10 All right. Yeah.
01:13 Hey, Finn.
01:14 Hey, Dante. How'd it go?
01:16 Yeah, yeah, good. I just got a clean bill of health, actually. I'm on my way back to work now.
01:20 Good. That's good news. I'm sure Chase will be happy to have his partner back.
01:24 Yeah. Yeah, should be good.
01:27 Uh, are you okay, man?
01:30 No. No, no, I'm not okay. Everything's not okay.
01:34 Chase's bachelor party just went sideways, and I don't know what to do.
01:37 Hmm.
01:42 I was meaning to tell you. I'm almost done with the video teaser for the Kevin Hoover opening.
01:46 Ah, great. I can't wait to see it.
01:48 Katrina, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the extra time that you're putting in at the gallery.
01:54 Thank you. I'm happy to. I mean, I'm not in school, so.
01:58 Thank you. I'm happy to. I mean, I'm not in school, so.
02:03 And, um, you know, I gotta start saving up for things. Like my own place.
02:08 Oh, really? I didn't, I didn't realize.
02:11 Need to get that?
02:17 No.
02:19 If it's important, they'll call back.
02:23 Okay.
02:24 And I'm telling you, Frank, tell your ma to use Arnica. It's gonna help her lumbago.
02:51 Arnica, got it.
02:52 The only issue is, she's gonna have to stay off the garlic while she's using it.
02:58 I don't think my mother could sacrifice garlic.
03:00 I know what you mean. My ma is the exact same way.
03:04 Boss, Mr. Rudel's here.
03:06 Yeah, I think I know that, Frank.
03:08 Hi.
03:10 You've never met a stranger, have you?
03:11 Oh, no. Come on. They're only strangers until you say hello.
03:16 I love hearing people's stories. Which is exactly why I'm here.
03:22 Something's off with you. So what's your story?
03:25 Yes?
03:30 He's here now?
03:32 Yeah, send him in.
03:35 Uh, Commissioner Devane. Thank you for agreeing to see me.
03:47 What brings you here, Mr. Rudel?
03:50 My duty as a citizen.
03:53 When I was attacked at All Saints Chapel on New Year's, I wasn't prepared to make a statement.
04:00 But after talking it over with my sister, I'm ready to make one now.
04:09 I see. Well, you can do it here.
04:13 Oh, thank you.
04:16 I have to inform you that once you make the statement, you know, it will be officially evidence.
04:23 And may be used to prosecute your attacker.
04:26 Understood.
04:28 Present, Commissioner Anna Devane. Taking a victim statement.
04:35 That is, uh, oh, April 17th, 2024. Would you state your name for the record, please?
04:42 Cyrus Renaud.
04:44 Mr. Renaud, can you identify the individual who assaulted you on January the 1st, 2024?
04:49 I can. I, I, uh, I was attacked by, uh, Sonny Corintos.
04:55 Sonny Corintos.
05:20 I, I, I love my parents. I love my grandfather with all my heart. You know I do.
05:25 I know.
05:26 I just think that it's time that I found a place of my own. I mean, I can't be a kid all of my life, right?
05:31 Well, that's true. Children have to grow up. Parents have to let them.
05:35 I just wonder, though, if this is a good time for you to be alone.
05:39 I mean, I know that it's, it's hard to process a loss like yours without some solitude.
05:43 I also know that, that there is such a thing as being alone too much.
05:47 With a space that you want, it becomes a void.
05:51 Yeah, I hear what you're saying, and I appreciate it.
05:55 But?
05:57 But, between my family and Joss, and my family and you, and I mentioned my family, I think I'm good.
06:07 I'm good, and I don't think a little self-reliance is, is a bad thing.
06:14 Just when I thought I couldn't be prouder of you.
06:17 Oh, speaking of space, I've been dying to ask.
06:21 How are you doing living at Sonny's?
06:25 It's okay, I guess. Really. I, I suppose when you spend so much time fighting with somebody,
06:33 and then you're forced to be together, and there's a child involved, and you just get used to each other.
06:39 Well, miracles do happen.
06:40 Yeah, they certainly do. And we've settled into a routine. Sonny relies on me, Avery does too, of course.
06:47 Well, I'm glad you two are making things work. In the meantime, I have to go open up the gallery.
06:54 Okay. Oh, and since we discussed business at breakfast, it's a write-off.
07:00 [music]
07:02 Why do you think I'm off? I mean, it's not like my life isn't going incredibly well.
07:16 I know you're going through it.
07:19 Yeah.
07:21 I know you are too, okay? But it doesn't explain why you haven't responded to my only daughter's wedding invitation.
07:29 Because you know how much Brooklyn wants her Uncle Dimples to be at the most important day of her life, right?
07:35 Yeah.
07:37 So, why are you going to leave your favorite niece hanging?
07:40 I was just thinking of just sending a gift.
07:42 Oh. Oh, send a gift instead of coming. Oh, okay. So, so what's that gift going to be?
07:48 Is that a gravy boat? A toaster oven? Spatulas?
07:53 No, I was going to buy her an espresso machine. I think she'd love that.
07:57 Yeah?
07:58 Yeah.
07:59 Yeah. Well, you know, she loves you. I love you. You're my oldest friend, you know, from the neighborhood.
08:06 And the wedding, it wouldn't be complete without you.
08:10 I don't want to ruin the day for you and Brooklyn.
08:17 Oh, okay.
08:18 So, this is, this is about me and about Brooklyn.
08:22 It doesn't have anything to do with you being seated next to one of the growing list of people that you can't stand being around anymore.
08:32 Hmm?
08:34 [Music]
08:36 [Whistle]
08:37 [Music]
08:39 [Music]
08:41 [Music]
08:42 (rock music)
08:44 (rock music)
08:46 (rock music)
08:49 (rock music)
08:51 (rock music)
08:56 (rock music)
09:03 (rock music)
09:08 (rock music)
09:14 (rock music)
09:16 - How are you?
09:41 With everything.
09:43 - The breakup.
09:44 - That?
09:46 I mean losing Spencer, Trina moving out.
09:48 - I'm fine, I'm fine.
09:51 I appreciate you asking,
09:52 but you have more important things to worry about.
09:54 - Okay, I hate when you do that.
09:55 There's nothing more important than you.
09:57 - Okay, more urgent then.
09:59 I will be fine.
10:00 Your customers, not so much.
10:02 Oh, help has arrived.
10:04 - Where?
10:06 - Thank you for getting here so fast.
10:10 - Yeah.
10:10 - Please tell me you brought the help.
10:12 - I am the help.
10:13 We're doomed.
10:14 - Thank you for the vote of confidence.
10:17 - Your brother is a capable young man.
10:19 - Yes, he's capable of picking up his platinum card.
10:21 I just don't know about a wrench.
10:23 - I think I'm gonna go back to the office
10:24 where I'm appreciated.
10:26 And then mom can call her new boyfriend to help.
10:28 - Do you think it's true
10:33 that you've got to forget something else to--
10:36 - Called everybody on the list
10:37 and I invited him to show up at the Savoy tonight.
10:39 - Yeah, it sounds like it's gonna be a great night.
10:42 - Right?
10:42 I just found out the Savoy's booked
10:44 for a private event tonight.
10:45 - You have a plan B?
10:50 - Plan B?
10:50 No, I don't have a plan B.
10:51 I was all in on plan A.
10:52 I mean, who books the Savoy on a weeknight?
10:56 - All right, look, we can still salvage this thing.
10:59 What did Chase say he wanted his bachelor party to look like?
11:01 - You know Chase, right?
11:02 Nothing fancy, no strippers.
11:03 - Of course.
11:04 - Right, and he said no techno music.
11:06 Other than that--
11:07 - Other than that, we can work with other than that.
11:09 - We can?
11:10 - Yeah, of course we can.
11:10 Look, don't worry about a thing.
11:12 I was just gonna go do boring desk work at the PCPD anyway.
11:15 Now I got a case.
11:16 - The mystery of the missing bachelor party.
11:18 - That's right.
11:18 My first assignment.
11:20 - Time?
11:27 - How'd I do?
11:31 - You get your results from both the written
11:33 and physical test after they've been reviewed.
11:42 - You did well.
11:43 - Has mom told you about the new man in her life?
11:48 - Who's this mystery man?
11:49 - Some FBI agent.
11:51 - Oh my God.
11:52 How serious is this?
11:53 - I'd say it's pretty serious.
11:54 I mean, I have a good authority
11:55 that they're already graduated to sleepovers
11:57 at the Metro Corp.
11:58 - Okay, that is enough.
11:59 - On whose good authority did you hear this?
12:01 - Nina.
12:02 - Oh, well, I should have guessed.
12:04 This is just like that time where Willow and TJ
12:06 were having that torrid affair.
12:07 - Exactly.
12:09 So are you gonna go in the kitchen and fix my stove?
12:11 - Yeah, I'll take a look at it.
12:11 - All right, you can do some damage in there
12:13 instead of doing damage out here.
12:14 - So?
12:17 - Nothing.
12:19 I was driving to the coffee warehouse
12:21 and I saw this man being attacked.
12:23 - Thank you, Shelby.
12:25 - Thank you.
12:26 - Okay, Mr. Renaud, if you would review and sign, please.
12:30 - Sure.
12:31 - Okay, here we go.
12:32 - Commissioner, as I say here in my statement,
12:39 I do not believe the young man in scrubs
12:43 who visited my hospital room was GH personnel.
12:47 - Is there something that you want to add?
12:51 - I have since discovered that he was, in fact,
12:54 working for Sonny, and while I can't prove it,
12:57 I believe he was sent by Sonny to do me harm.
13:01 Then again, no harm came to me, at least not that day.
13:06 - Yes, I am aware of the situation,
13:08 and for what it's worth, I happen to know
13:10 that the young man in question has severed all ties
13:12 with the Corinthos Organization entirely.
13:15 - Well, I'm relieved to hear that.
13:18 - Okay.
13:19 Thank you.
13:29 - So, what happens now?
13:35 - I'll make a copy for you, and then I will file the statement.
13:38 - And do I need to make arrangements
13:42 to leave town for my own safety?
13:43 - Oh, no, this information will remain confidential for now.
13:47 - But not forever, hopefully?
13:50 - Until I find the best possible use for it.
13:53 - Applying analytical labs.
13:57 - Hello, I just missed a call from a steward.
14:00 Can you connect me, please?
14:01 - I'm steward.
14:04 Yeah, well, I'm calling about sample number H6784.
14:08 - Yes, like I said in my message,
14:12 we completed the analysis of the capsules you sent us.
14:14 - Can you tell me the results?
14:18 - If you don't mind my asking,
14:20 where did you get those capsules?
14:22 - It's my husband's medication.
14:25 He got it at the pharmacy.
14:26 I explained all this when I called.
14:28 Is there a problem?
14:29 - It appears the compounding pharmacy made an error.
14:33 - What kind of error?
14:35 - Each capsule has an imprint code
14:39 that tells us the name and dosage of the medication
14:41 that's supposed to be there.
14:42 - Supposed to be?
14:44 - The contents of the capsule match the imprint code.
14:48 It is indeed lorphinidine,
14:51 but the dosage should be 50 milligrams.
14:53 - Well, how much is it?
14:57 - Closer to 10 milligrams.
14:58 - 10, 10 milligrams?
15:03 - Your husband is getting less than a quarter
15:05 of his prescribed dosage.
15:07 If this is a pharmacy error,
15:08 they failed to satisfy their standard of care.
15:11 - Well, thank you.
15:16 You have been very helpful.
15:17 (upbeat music)
15:25 - All right, it was terrible.
15:26 - Oh no, it's okay.
15:27 I've, I'll handle it.
15:28 You just got settled, yeah?
15:30 - Yeah.
15:30 Oh, hey, Chase's bachelor party tonight, Hatchet Ranch.
15:34 - Oh, bachelor party?
15:35 - Yeah. - Is that more of a guy thing?
15:35 - God, come on, whatever.
15:36 That's old tradition stuff.
15:38 - Yes, he hates the tradition part.
15:41 - Oh, yeah, like no, no strippers or anything like that,
15:43 but drunk people throwing axes.
15:45 - God, it sounds so tempting.
15:46 - Doesn't it?
15:47 - Yeah, it really does.
15:48 Why are you handling this?
15:49 I thought Finn was his best man.
15:51 - Oh, he is, but he tried to book something at the Savoy,
15:53 but someone's actually booked up, like, the entire club.
15:57 - On a weeknight?
15:58 - Yeah, that's what we said.
15:59 - So, anyway, I want to give Chase a good send-off.
16:01 Could you help spread the word, do you think?
16:04 - Sure, yes, absolutely.
16:05 - Okay, I got calls to make, I guess.
16:07 - Yeah, no personal calls,
16:08 'cause time theft is still theft, right?
16:10 - Right, yeah, you know,
16:13 but we can agree that celebrating Chase's final days
16:16 as a single man constitutes as a police business, right?
16:18 (somber music)
16:21 Here.
16:22 - Listen, one of these days, I'm paying for breakfast.
16:27 I don't know when.
16:28 I don't know how, but I'm gonna make it happen.
16:30 - Okay, well, you are more than welcome to try.
16:33 Hey, I have a question for you.
16:37 - Yeah?
16:38 - You like living with Jocelyn, right?
16:41 - Yeah, I loved it.
16:42 - Why?
16:43 - I don't know, I'm just thinking
16:45 maybe she's ready to move off campus, too.
16:47 Maybe the two of you could get a place together.
16:49 - I love that idea.
16:51 I don't know why I didn't think of it myself.
16:52 - Yeah, it could be perfect.
16:54 And when her boyfriend comes to visit her,
16:55 there'll be a lot more room.
16:56 - Oh, I didn't tell you.
16:59 Joc and Dex broke up.
17:00 - Oh, they did?
17:01 What happened?
17:02 - Long story, but the craziest part
17:05 is that Dex is now trying to become a police officer.
17:07 - Dex wants to be a cop.
17:10 Talk about a change in direction, huh?
17:13 - Right.
17:15 Nobody could be more shocked than Joc.
17:16 - I can think of somebody who will be.
17:22 - I'm fine with all kinds of people.
17:26 - Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:28 I can see you dancing the funky chicken
17:30 during the reception next to Ned, hey,
17:33 and Michael, hey, Michael, and Tracy.
17:35 - You don't have to list all the people.
17:37 - Come to the wedding, Sonny.
17:42 Rise above your petty grievances.
17:45 - My grievances are not petty.
17:49 - They are when you compare them
17:51 to the magnitude of my daughter's heart
17:54 and to the joy she should be guaranteed
17:57 on this, the happiest day of her life.
18:00 You need to put up with those people
18:02 who in turn have to put up with you.
18:04 - That's what I'm talking about, all those people.
18:07 That's the point.
18:09 A large celebration like that is, you know,
18:12 they're safety issues.
18:14 And I don't know if you've noticed,
18:17 but I'm a target right now.
18:18 - Agent Kates may not be my favorite person,
18:23 but I didn't want to hear from Olivia
18:25 that housekeeping found him on the couch
18:27 in a coma the next morning.
18:28 - Is that him?
18:35 - Yeah, you step.
18:36 - Hey. - Hi.
18:40 - So can I get you something?
18:43 - No, no, you have given me plenty.
18:45 It's time I finally gave you something in return.
18:49 - Here's your copy.
18:53 - What do I frame it?
18:55 - The department understands your legitimate concerns
19:01 about your safety.
19:03 And just to let you know, I will give you a heads up
19:06 when I intend to charge Mr. Kamenthos.
19:09 - I appreciate that.
19:10 - You're welcome.
19:12 I would wish you well, but...
19:16 - But you don't.
19:17 And with a history like mine, how could you?
19:22 (dramatic music)
19:25 - Wendy's presents-
19:26 - Safety is paramount,
19:27 which is why security has already been handled.
19:32 - Who?
19:32 - Some of Yuri's people.
19:35 They're enormous.
19:37 I'm telling you, Sonny,
19:38 I gotta book a trip to Belarus during beach season.
19:41 But with his people and your people,
19:44 it's gonna be the safest wedding in years.
19:47 So please, can I tell my daughter
19:49 that you will be attending her nuptials?
19:52 Well?
19:55 - Fine.
19:58 - Fine, fine.
20:00 Wonderful.
20:01 All right.
20:02 Oh, will you be bringing a plus one?
20:06 - Oh, hello, Lois.
20:09 Frank said you were visiting.
20:10 - Huh, Ava.
20:13 - You're still here.
20:13 I hadn't realized.
20:14 - Yeah, for the time being, yeah.
20:16 - Okay.
20:17 Well, I just figured you'd want a place of your own.
20:19 You know, something that better suits your aesthetic.
20:23 - Lois, I'm here because Sonny insisted
20:25 that Avery and I be here for our safety.
20:27 - Yeah, yeah.
20:28 But things have been quiet recently, right?
20:30 You know, and Lucy Ko,
20:31 she is such a great real estate agent.
20:34 I'm sure she could find you
20:36 and that adorable daughter of yours a place lickety split.
20:40 Or maybe you wanna stay at a suite
20:43 at the Metro Court Hotel.
20:45 You know, since your bestie Nina clones the place.
20:48 - Ooh, those are really terrific suggestions, Lois.
20:52 Thank you for thinking.
20:53 - Oh, yeah, well, you know.
20:55 I'm here to help.
20:56 Ciao.
20:58 - Okay, you have something for me?
21:15 - First off, my sincere thanks
21:18 for rescuing me the other night.
21:20 - Oh.
21:21 Well, I mean, you know,
21:22 if it stopped you from falling into a coma
21:24 or bleeding all over the upholstery, it was worth it.
21:26 Not that I really care.
21:28 - Oh, look, it's mom's FBI agent.
21:30 - Back so soon?
21:33 What, did you already get a grease stain
21:34 on your Egyptian cotton?
21:37 - I'll have you know,
21:37 I scoured all the buildup off the burners and the gas jet.
21:41 I'm just waiting to see if Katrina and Hunter
21:43 can get the stove going again.
21:46 - I get the sense that you really enjoy being right.
21:49 - Oh, yeah.
21:50 (laughs)
21:51 Absolutely.
21:52 Especially when other people have to admit it.
21:54 - Hmm.
21:55 (laughs)
21:56 - You don't think that she actually likes him, do you?
21:59 - No, I'm just messing around with her.
22:04 But still, I think we should keep an eye on that guy.
22:08 - Officially, we can't talk about the results,
22:13 but I can tell you that I admire your decision
22:15 to quit Sunny and apply to the force.
22:18 - Thank you, sir.
22:19 - I read in your application file
22:20 that you did a tour in Afghanistan.
22:22 - That's right, sir.
22:24 - Detective, when we're at the station,
22:25 and you can call me Chase when we're on the street.
22:28 - I'll remember that, detective.
22:30 - Anyway, I never did the service myself,
22:33 but I can't imagine what you went through.
22:35 But you lived it, and you're here now.
22:38 And I admire that.
22:39 - Thank you.
22:41 I appreciate you saying that.
22:43 (people chattering)
22:45 - Yeah, Hatchet Range, 8 p.m.
22:48 You gonna be there?
22:49 Okay, good, do it.
22:50 And just keep it on the down low.
22:51 It's gonna be a surprise for the guests at the bottom.
22:54 Okay.
22:56 How much did you hear?
23:00 - About my super secret bachelor party at the Hatchet Range?
23:04 I didn't get the time.
23:06 Did you get the time, Dex?
23:07 - I did, actually.
23:08 - Great, I'll see you there if you need me.
23:10 - Thank you, detective.
23:12 - Detective.
23:13 - Dex.
23:14 - Mr. Ronell.
23:21 I almost didn't recognize you without your scrubs.
23:28 - So, do you have any suspects in the attack?
23:35 - As a matter of fact, I know exactly who's behind it.
23:39 - Really, who?
23:40 - You.
23:42 - Excuse me?
23:43 - See the way I see it, Miss Spencer?
23:47 You planned that little beat down as payback
23:50 for me coming to your door with a search warrant.
23:54 - And why would I do that?
23:57 - Well, isn't that obvious?
23:59 Give me a warning.
24:00 - You want a warning?
24:02 Call first.
24:03 - I don't have your number.
24:10 - So, I guess I'll have to give you mine.
24:12 - Is this a good time?
24:31 - You're always welcome.
24:33 What can I do for you?
24:34 - Oh, well, I am glad you asked.
24:38 Planning Brooklyn's wedding has become a full-time job,
24:42 and I was hoping that maybe you could help me
24:44 take one little item off the list.
24:47 - If I can, please.
24:49 - Oh, okay.
24:50 Well, I wanted to inquire about the rehearsal dinner,
24:53 which happens to be something
24:56 that is traditionally organized by the groom's family.
24:59 - Absolutely, don't worry.
25:01 My dad and I, we're on it, yeah.
25:04 - Oh, good, okay, 'cause I was a little worried
25:07 about broaching the subject.
25:08 - Oh, no, no, it's totally under control,
25:11 completely under control.
25:12 Matter of fact, I think my dad
25:13 emailed all the details to Tracy.
25:17 - Ah, well, okay, see, originally,
25:19 we were planning on doing the rehearsal dinner over--
25:22 - On Coney Island, no, we're aware, yeah.
25:25 - Yeah, yeah, so, of course,
25:26 everybody who lives in Bensonhurst
25:28 could easily get to Coney Island,
25:29 but, you know, seeing as how the rehearsal dinner
25:32 is the night before the wedding,
25:33 and the wedding is gonna be here in Port Charles--
25:35 - Right, Tracy had offered up the ELQ jet,
25:39 which might be a violation of wedding etiquette,
25:42 but since my family doesn't own a jet,
25:45 and chartering buses would mean everyone arriving
25:47 in Coney Island just in time to turn around
25:49 and come all the way back.
25:51 - Yes, exactly, and listen, the jet is essential,
25:54 and I'm very happy that Tracy stepped up.
25:57 So, here's the favor that I would love
26:00 for you to ask your dad for me.
26:04 Anything he happens to email Tracy about the wedding,
26:09 would he mind BCCing me on all of it?
26:15 That way I know what's going on
26:16 without Tracy having to know that I know what's going on.
26:21 - I will pass along the suggestion.
26:25 - Oh, good, okay, and maybe you could also have him
26:29 forward me the email that he sent to Tracy
26:32 about the rehearsal dinner, you know.
26:34 In case Tracy gets busy with, you know,
26:36 whatever Tracy happens to get busy with.
26:40 - That I can promise.
26:42 - Thank you so very much.
26:45 I cannot tell you how excited I am for you and your dad
26:50 and my future son-in-law
26:51 to meet the whole Bensonhurst posse.
26:54 - Oh, we're already fastening our seatbelts.
26:56 - Oh, well, yeah, you actually should.
26:59 - It actually feels like this wedding is coming together.
27:03 - Oh, yeah, fingers crossed, right?
27:06 Hey, do you mind if I ask you just one more thing
27:10 if you don't mind?
27:11 How's your dad?
27:14 So, how's the studying going?
27:17 - I haven't looked at it.
27:19 What's the deal with your FBI buddy?
27:22 How badly was he hurt when you found him?
27:25 - Pretty bad.
27:26 Would have been worse if I hadn't found him.
27:29 - And do you think that was random?
27:30 - They didn't take anything.
27:33 He still has cash, credit cards, phone, handgun.
27:37 - Where'd you find him?
27:39 - Couple blocks from Corintho's Coffee.
27:41 - So, do you think Sonny's behind it?
27:44 - I don't know.
27:46 Could have been random.
27:46 - Could have been Sonny.
27:48 And if he's gonna do that to an FBI agent,
27:50 then imagine what he's gonna do to Dax
27:52 when he finds out that he's becoming a cop.
27:54 (knocking)
27:57 - Oh, oh, is that what I think it is?
27:59 - Hell, it's application, physical and psych exam report,
28:02 and standard test scores.
28:03 - Well, can you give me the cliff notes?
28:05 - Ella's in the 98th percentile of Academy applicants.
28:08 - This year?
28:09 - Ever.
28:11 - Really?
28:12 Wow, I was right about him.
28:15 - Yes, Commissioner, you were right about his skills.
28:18 - Oh, but you still have reservations.
28:20 Okay, let's hear them.
28:22 - You look exhausted.
28:24 Although, who wouldn't be after a visit from Lois?
28:28 - Who happens to be one of my oldest friends?
28:31 - Oh, don't get me wrong.
28:32 I admire her high spiritedness.
28:36 - Do you?
28:39 - Yeah, yeah, I do.
28:40 She is very vibrant.
28:42 That said, I get the feeling there's precious little
28:48 Lois admires about me.
28:49 - She's just overprotective of me.
28:53 - Does she have a point, Sonny?
28:56 - About what?
28:58 - Well, is it safe for Avery and me to leave?
29:01 Have we overstayed our welcome?
29:02 Should I be looking for another place for us?
29:05 - Well, I mean, that's up to you.
29:11 I mean, I'm not in a rush.
29:13 - Well, good.
29:15 That's very nice to hear.
29:17 - I like having you and Avery here, both of you,
29:22 'cause I can keep an eye on you.
29:25 - It's funny.
29:26 It wasn't very long ago that you keeping an eye on me
29:30 would have been out of suspicion.
29:31 (laughing)
29:35 - Well, you know what?
29:36 I gotta say that I appreciate you looking out for me.
29:41 - What kind of lookout would I be if I didn't ask you
29:45 if you took your meds this morning?
29:47 - I gotta get on that.
29:53 Yep.
29:54 (dramatic music)
29:56 - Hey, Sonny.
29:57 Do they make you sleepy?
30:01 - They used to.
30:03 - Not anymore?
30:05 - No, not anymore.
30:06 I think I've gotten used to it.
30:08 Why do you ask that?
30:11 - Looking out for you.
30:14 (laughing)
30:17 - Yeah.
30:18 (dramatic music)
30:23 (suspenseful music)
30:26 (suspenseful music)
30:29 (suspenseful music)
30:32 (coughing)
30:57 (thudding)
31:00 (gasping)
31:03 (suspenseful music)
31:04 - Fair, freckled, or you have every right to be.
31:07 But this is Dex's decision
31:08 and you're gonna have to respect it.
31:10 - Bad news.
31:15 Hunter, Katrina, and I tried everything.
31:17 Either you need a new stove
31:18 or there's something wrong with the gas.
31:19 There's no pilot light.
31:20 There's no gas.
31:21 - Oh, all right.
31:22 Well, I have to try the gas company
31:24 and call the repair man again.
31:25 Thank you so much for trying.
31:27 - Yeah, sorry I couldn't help.
31:28 Mainly because I'm not gonna get the end of it from Jocelyn.
31:30 (laughing)
31:31 - You know you're always my hero.
31:33 And you'd also be mom's hero if you bought her a new stove.
31:35 - Ooh.
31:36 - All right, I'm gonna call the repairman.
31:38 - Let's see.
31:39 ♪ When you're in my eyes ♪
31:41 ♪ What do you see ♪
31:43 ♪ And then look at us now ♪
31:46 - My dad has stopped sharing any medical updates.
31:49 - Oh, that's not good.
31:52 I'm so sorry.
31:53 - No, no, it's all right.
31:55 I think he's been keeping things to himself.
32:01 To avoid putting a damper on the celebration.
32:05 I think in many ways this wedding
32:07 is what's keeping my dad going.
32:09 - Oh, I think that's beautiful.
32:13 Just like his invocation is gonna be beautiful.
32:16 - I'm sure it will be.
32:17 - Listen, I know when Brooklyn and Chase
32:21 asked Gregory to officiate the wedding,
32:23 he agreed only on the condition
32:25 that they arrange for a backup.
32:28 You know, just in case.
32:30 And I know that they haven't actually done that.
32:35 So, would you like me to arrange for a backup quietly?
32:40 - Yes, thank you.
32:48 Yeah, my dad's right.
32:52 You know, whether he's sharing what his doctor's saying
32:55 or not, a backup is probably a good idea, yeah.
33:00 - All right.
33:01 Hey, I'm on it.
33:03 Not that we're gonna need it.
33:06 - If nothing else, your force of will
33:09 is gonna see my father through the day.
33:11 - Okay, I'm sorry.
33:16 I'm just, I'm glad you're back.
33:18 - Ah, me too, man.
33:19 Even if it is desk duty.
33:21 - Anywhere, brother.
33:22 - Brother.
33:25 - Your brother's gonna kill me, man.
33:27 - Oh, come on, I can act surprised.
33:29 - You?
33:30 You can?
33:31 - Yeah, watch.
33:32 - Oh my gosh.
33:35 - That's what I thought.
33:36 You're just, you're too honest, you know?
33:39 - What's wrong with that?
33:39 - Nothing.
33:40 It's a great quality cop.
33:41 It's a terrible quality if you're pretending to be shocked
33:43 to see all your friends hoisting a drink
33:45 to celebrate your impending wedding.
33:48 - You probably have an idea of what I was doing
33:53 in your room at GH.
33:55 - Oh, I have my suspicion.
33:57 - I'm sorry for that.
34:02 I took a wrong turn in my life
34:05 and I'm trying to correct it.
34:08 That's why I'm here.
34:09 - What a coincidence.
34:12 You know, I came here to the PCPD
34:15 so I could do the very same thing.
34:17 - Applicants like this don't come around very often.
34:22 - I know, that was my impression too.
34:23 - By every objective standard,
34:25 Dexter can make an excellent cop,
34:27 assuming he doesn't need police protection himself.
34:29 - All right.
34:32 - Feel pretty good.
34:33 - Bill?
34:34 Oh, thank you, huh?
34:36 - You know, it's amazing that out of everybody on the planet
34:41 you're the only one right now
34:42 that I would let into my daily routine.
34:44 - Well, I consider that trust quite an honor.
34:47 - Where did you go this morning?
34:50 - I took Trina out to breakfast.
34:53 - Oh yeah?
34:54 How's she doing?
34:55 - She's okay.
34:58 I mean, all things considered.
35:00 - Poor kid.
35:01 - Yeah.
35:02 She did tell me something pretty interesting.
35:06 - What's that?
35:07 - Well, don't kill the messenger.
35:10 Are you aware that Dex Heller is joining the PCPD?
35:14 (ominous music)
35:17 (door slams)
35:20 (ominous music)
35:22 Mr. Christie always won.
