00:17Okay, so I talked you up to Ava, but I can't make any promises. No you got me a shot
00:24That's that's all I can hope for
00:26Tina did the Bronson piece get shipped to Chicago last week it did and I got the tracking information. I'm Ava
00:32This is Giovanni Palmieri, and he's a musician told you about Gio. This is Ava Jerome the gallery owner
00:39No, I'm I'm sure that Trina explained to you. I need somebody to provide background music for our next opening
00:46He actually got a full ride to PC's music program, and he's drafted to their summer concert series, too
00:53Huh full ride your parents must love that
00:58Yeah
00:59If I hadn't earned the scholarship my uncle's time is gonna be my way
01:15Well
01:17I
01:20Was not expecting you yeah, well never mind all that you came up to my office without an appointment
01:26I just thought I would return the favor
01:28So it's time to fish or cut bait. What's it gonna be drew you're gonna run from my seat or not
01:36What's on your mind honey, oh, you know all the warnings you gave me about being Molly surrogate I
01:42Think you're gonna have to be a little more specific. Okay mom. There is one thing we didn't cover
01:47What happens to the baby if Molly and TJ split up?
01:52Sorry I hope you weren't waiting too long no no I I got here early
01:57Thank you for dropping everything to meet me. Yeah, I got your message
02:01I was about to knock on Finn's door when you called and after talking to him. I have a good idea on why you called
02:09How bad was he?
02:18Daddy what's wrong?
02:20You
02:43When you say uncle Sonny
02:46Do you mean Sonny Corinthos I?
02:48Do he's not an actual relative, but he's an honorary member of this rule of family
02:55So he's treating me like blood
02:57You're very fortunate. No question uncle Sonny's paid for my musical education
03:04lessons conservatory
03:06my instrument
03:07It's a very generous man
03:11Why don't you go ahead and play something sure just let me tune up
03:15I
03:17Okay, so
03:19Full disclosure. I've actually never heard him play, but Joss says that he's fantastic
03:24Oh, I didn't realize Jocelyn is an expert in classical music don't feel obligated to use them if this is a bad idea, okay?
03:31Any requests?
03:33Yeah, how about something that puts people in the mood to buy some very expensive art I?
03:40Got you
03:44I
04:14I
04:24Wait wait hold on a second. Where is all this coming from Molly came over to my house, and she was really upset
04:30She was venting to me about all the issues. She's having right now with TJ. Okay, so
04:35Couples fight that's exactly what Ali said but not TJ and Molly they don't not until this
04:41The baby's changing everything well babies do change things things shift sometimes
04:47It's stressful according to Molly. They're not even communicating right now
04:51I mean they've been together since high school you would think by now the two of them would have figured out how to talk to
04:57Each other Becca. I am backing up
04:59I am backing up all the way back to when Molly insisted on a domestic partnership instead of a marriage
05:06What if in her heart of hearts?
05:09Molly always had this feeling that she and TJ might drift apart. This is just pure speculation
05:17I don't know where this is coming from I mean
05:20They're having trouble a little conflict so that doesn't foretell the end of their relationship
05:26I don't know. I hope it doesn't but I have to be prepared either way. I have to know what I'm gonna do
05:34What I want to know is
05:36What you want me to do?
05:39Well mom, I know
05:41just puts you in a sticky situation because you're Molly's mother, but you're also my mother and
05:47All I'm asking you to do is to just walk me through the possible
05:53Consequences if Molly and TJ do split up
05:56You told me that the only two people who would have legal claim to custody of this baby would be TJ and me
06:03Oh
06:11I'm so thirsty
06:14You know, I'm always telling you how important is to stay hydrated
06:17How's your nap?
06:20It was good
06:22These kids are nap. They have the right idea, huh?
06:25Not me. I think naps are boring. I would rather anything else. I know so now that you're up. Can we go?
06:34Okay, go where
06:38You said we could go to the pool after your nap I've been waiting for you to wake up
06:43Dad, I made us peanut butter on toast for a snack and I asked you if we could go to the pool
06:49But you said that you were too tired and that you needed to digest the food first
06:55Don't you remember
06:58I
06:59Mean he was belligerent and combative. He alternated between guilt-tripping me and insisting that nothing was wrong
07:06I have never seen Finn like this before Wow
07:11Escalated quickly
07:13You know, he may have thought that he could keep this from me
07:17But last night
07:20Jake saw him coming out of a bar and in his words with some random woman
07:28Yeah, I was really shocked too so at first I thought
07:33Okay, he's a slipped up. He's had a couple drinks
07:37Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds perhaps Jake was confused by this woman. Maybe maybe she's an old friend. I
07:46So I went to his apartment
07:49And it was exactly
07:51like Jake said
07:53He picked up this woman
07:56And the bar and he brought her back to his place
08:02She didn't even know her name
08:06Elizabeth I am so sorry
08:10You know, I I did see a bottle in two glasses, but it didn't it didn't register. Oh
08:16I'm so sorry. You do not deserve this. You have nothing to apologize for
08:21this is
08:23Finn's illness his responsibility
08:26and
08:28So I
08:29Just came from my first Alan on meeting
08:33Probably not my last
08:35And it only reinforced what I already knew. I
08:40Can't say Finn and I can't subject my children to what's happening with him right now
08:48No, no, no, no, of course not I
08:51Understand what you're saying you ended things with Finn and I get why I drew a hard line with him, too, but
08:59He's my brother. I don't have the option to end things. I
09:05Just have to I have to figure out a way to reach him
09:08Go, it's been this is a very big decision for me and I needed to consult with family and friends
09:13I needed to get their input sure it is, but you know that they'll support you and back you up
09:17Actually, I was looking for someone who wouldn't support it for reasons not to run that the campaign would be relentless and that
09:24My chances were slim. I see and did you find someone who would oblige you?
09:30Well, that's why I intended to drive up to see you tomorrow to tell you that I've made a decision. I
09:38Would be honored sir to run for your seat
09:42Well, that's a great decision and I'm glad to see that you recognize a golden opportunity when it falls in your lap
09:51Close captioning provided in part bike. I haven't stopped caring about your brother
09:59But I have seen him addicted before
10:02When he was with my sister, I went toe-to-toe with him when he refused to admit he was using
10:09He was arrogant and
10:12Confrontational he lied to my face
10:16And I saw that same denial last night, I'm so sorry Elizabeth chase
10:23I'm gonna say this as many times as you need to hear it
10:27You are not
10:29Responsible. I know you want to support your brother, but you cannot enable him. I won't
10:37But I won't drop him either I can't eyes open then addiction is tricky I
10:45Can't help them but I can help you
10:50So Finn's sponsor
10:52Left town about a year ago, and I don't think he ever got a new one because of how well he was doing
10:57But there is someone he might talk to
11:00He and Alexis are close. They work the program together
11:05Yeah that tracks
11:06but with all that being said
11:09my
11:10Biggest concern is my niece
11:13Violet is a strong little girl, but she has dealt with so much loss with her mother and grandfather and and
11:21while Finn is
11:22Battling himself. We need to figure out where she's gonna go
11:28Brooklyn and I came up with a plan for violet to come live with us at the Q mansion this summer for a few weeks
11:34long enough for
11:35Finn to have a intervention hopefully, but he wasn't having it
11:42Or maybe he just needs a minute for it to soak in
11:47Tell me your plan and I will try to talk him through it. Do you think I'll listen to you?
11:54It's my one way to find out
11:57All I do know is that violet is gonna need all the support she can get
12:02Cool I thought you said school. I was wondering why you wanted to go to school in your swimsuit dad
12:08Why would I want to go to school in my swimsuit?
12:12And you said you wanted to see my somersault in the water and I do
12:18But do you think maybe yeah
12:21You're gonna get a bug first I
12:28Love you so much
12:32And
12:36I'm sorry, I've been a little sad lately
12:40About grandpa
12:43Yeah about grandpa
12:46How about you
12:47I'm sad, too
12:49I'll tell you what
12:51Give me ten minutes. I'm gonna get cleaned up. We're gonna go straight to that pool
12:54No, we're gonna stop being sad and we're gonna have so much fun. I promise
13:01I
13:05There are very few things that matter more than good government, I mean it's
13:11easy to lose sight of that well with all the
13:15noise and innuendo and the competing echo chambers, huh, you know
13:21well, there are a lot of charlatans and
13:23Cheats in the house and it's important for people of integrity to step forward and do the right thing. Well, thank you
13:30I look forward to shaking things up in the halls of the Congress
13:34This district how this country deserves the best that I can give that sounds a little bit like you're I'm running speech
13:41Did you have a good speech writer? No, I don't I've got any notes any suggestions
13:45Use your own voice, but I want you to think also about changing your last name to quarter me
13:50Hmm. I mean you can't beat that for recognition early in the race. Yeah. Well as a matter of fact, I
13:57Why haven't you called me back?
14:00Congressman what brings you to Aurora as if you didn't know
14:06Oh
14:28Thank you, that's enough. Thank you. I'm sorry. Oh, you definitely have the job
14:33I think you I know you'll be the perfect enhancement to our opening
14:39Why don't we go in the back and talk numbers, okay, I'm grateful for any opportunity to perform live
14:45I
15:01You ready to go three new apartment listings are strapped, but we've got to be fast or else we'll lose out. Okay. Yeah
15:10Yeah
15:13This is geos
15:15He just auditioned for Eva
15:17You're right about him. Yeah, I know. He's really good. No, no, he's he's more than good the way he played it was
15:25It was like a painting
15:28Gio's an artist I
15:31Remember in the state of New York
15:33The birth mother is legally the baby's mother until she signs the rights away to the baby
15:39And so what I need to know is if TJ and Molly do split up
15:43Then would TJ have to share custody with me since Molly has no legal claims the baby you are so
15:50Jumping to conclusions here. There are so many factors to consider. I know that but I I have to I
15:57Need to know what I'm going to do to protect this child and keep it in our family. Look. I know there's a surrogacy
16:05Contract that TJ might try to invoke but you said that won't hold up in court
16:11Does Molly know that you're here asking these questions
16:15No
16:18No, I am NOT entirely unprepared for these questions
16:25Because bringing up these questions has been my worst nightmare since the two of you told me about this surrogacy
16:34I cannot nor will not take a position on this because I cannot choose between my daughters
16:43Don't ask me to
16:47Is Astra really when I got into violin, but
16:52The way Gio played it was
16:55It was like a secret voice. Like if somehow the paintings on the wall started singing
17:01I
17:02Can see how violin is for like rock stars back in the day and it's so easy to access
17:08the greatest music in the world on the internet, but it's it's nothing like
17:13Seeing it live. Hey
17:17Jocelyn are you here to look at art? Hi. No, actually we are looking for apartments in this building. Oh, no
17:25But Trina and I we're getting a place together
17:28Oh
17:29No
17:31Assuming we can find a place two of the listings just got rented. What?
17:35Already? Already
17:38Joss hi Gio. I'll be in touch girls. Good luck with that apartment hunt
17:48I happen to know about a great apartment and it's not gonna be listed. Why not? It's over the quarter mains garage
17:56Well
17:59Maybe we should ask Nina about the name thing or you could pitch your platform to her assuming she hasn't already heard it
18:06I'm sorry, what's going on the platform the name? I'm running for Congress
18:12The congressman wants me to take his seat after he retires
18:15drew a
18:17politician
18:19well, I
18:20I'm truly sorry, you know, I just assumed that you would confide in her and well
18:26That she would know what you're planning on doing. Yeah, I just hadn't gotten to it
18:30Ah, well, then how about now Nina?
18:35So as the minister would say all those who think that drew should not run for office speak now or forever. Hold your peace
18:46I am NOT asking you to choose
18:49But I am responsible
18:52For this baby and I have been ever since Molly and TJ
18:56Chose me to carry this child their child. I know I know it's their child
19:03and I have been trying so hard to do the right thing and I
19:07Am due to give birth to this baby in August and I am already freaked out enough about that as it is
19:12I don't I don't want to have to be thinking about this
19:14Honestly, I
19:17Just been mentally preparing myself to sign away the rights and give this baby to Molly and TJ and now I don't even know if
19:25They're gonna make it mom
19:26So I have to understand what my rights are in case I need to protect this child
19:35I'm sending you the links to relevant statutes
19:38Just
19:42Happen to have that open on your browser. I've had it bookmarked since you told me you were pregnant
19:50So you do understand my concern
19:52I've just sent you the link to the relevant statutes. You use the information as you see fit
20:00Thank you
20:03You
20:07Christina
20:11I want you to think long and hard about the promises that you made to Molly and TJ
20:17and
20:19the consequences if you break them
20:32Oh
21:03Got living room kitchenette on a two bedrooms
21:07Only one bathroom. Oh, okay. I mean it beats the showers in the dorms
21:12It's crazy. I've been to the quarter mains a million times. I've parked right outside the garage
21:16I had no idea this place was here. Yeah, and that offered it to me. You thought I'd like a place of my own
21:21It's a little extra privacy
21:24That aunt Lois now Olivia weren't having it. They want me in the main house
21:28Why are they scared of him to get into trouble or something
21:32more like
21:34Afraid that I might expire if I don't have somewhere to do my laundry and make sure I give my regular meals. I
21:41Can't say for sure that the quarter mains will want to rent this place. You'd have to talk to them directly, but
21:47Since your brother Michael is a quarter me
21:50Guess you wouldn't drive too hard a bargain
21:53I
21:57Need to take this real quick
22:02Well, I mean I know that we haven't seen the bedrooms or the closet but what do you think I mean
22:09We're close to campus. It's clean. It's safe. There's plenty of parking. I
22:13Kind of love it
22:15You
22:20Chase hi, is this a bad time?
22:24It's been a day. I
22:26Can tell from your expression?
22:29I'm thinking you're having the same one
22:32Did you know Finn has been drinking?
22:34He he told me
22:39How bad is it
22:41He's drinking non-stop
22:43Alexis he's being irresponsible and reckless
22:47I tried to confront him, but he completely shut me out and then Elizabeth tried but his behavior left her no choice
22:52But to end the relationship
22:54Elizabeth jumps ship. It must be pretty bad. Well, she still cares about him
22:59But she doesn't want to enable him or expose his behavior to to her sons
23:03She didn't know if when his sponsor left a year ago if he ever got a new one said I should talk to you
23:09If I was a sponsor I wouldn't be able to break a confidence, but I'm not
23:15And I haven't talked to him in a few days, but he did tell me that he slipped at the wedding
23:25Finn drank at my wedding before our dad died
23:30Looks like someone is going swimming. We're going to the Metro Court pool. Oh
23:35Oh
23:36So late for that, isn't it? By the time you get there, you're not gonna have a whole lot of time to swim
23:41Well, we would have gone early, but daddy fell asleep and forgot
23:46Yeah
23:48Hey, you want to run down the lobby and get us our mail? Okay. Okay
23:57Do you want to come in
24:05Jake and Aiden have been asking about violence
24:14Even though
24:16We're not together. She's she's still my niece and the boy's cousin and
24:21I would really love to take her to the pool right now and then bring her back to my house for dinner tonight
24:27And all wellness check when I see one
24:30The chase sent you here
24:35Mr. Chris could go hiking in the woods. We can even use the pool and the tennis courts on the grounds
24:40I'll talk to Michael and I'm sure that we're gonna get a great price on rent because we know everybody
24:44Why aren't you saying anything? You haven't said more than two words. Do you not like it? No, I'm just
24:50I'm not sure
24:52Well, are you having second thoughts about moving off camp? No, not at all. Or is it the idea of moving on?
24:58Maybe look if you're not ready, we don't have it. Hi, I
25:03want to be and this place is
25:06It's perfect
25:09Maybe even a little too far fake like it's too good to be true
25:14Well every now and then that can happen and aren't you due for something like that
25:19Sorry, my cousin called to remind me it was my dad's birthday and I had to talk to my aunt
25:25I wound up talking to half my family
25:27so
25:29What do you think of the place?
25:33I think it's actually very
25:36Inspiring and Drew is going to be the perfect candidate to succeed you congressman despite his past legal problems
25:42But we don't need to get it
25:44Old news and we'll deal with that. No doubt. No doubt. You know, what Jew could not have a better mentor in
25:52Politics and you congressman couldn't have chosen a more fitting successor. Oh, well
25:58Nothing. I like to hear more than that. My instincts are correct. So got a time my
26:04Retirement with your announcement that you're going to run to take my place in the house
26:09We need to work on getting our campaign going
26:13Getting our campaign together to run as smoothly as possible. Yes, sir. I just got to get my staff together first
26:18Yeah, well better hurry up because your opponent is the worst kind of opportunist
26:24And it's not a question of you're saying you want to win you have to win and we need people and
26:31influential places in your
26:33In your stead like this lady here
26:37It's good to have her. All right. Good to see you both
26:41Congressman congressman we'll talk soon. Thank you
26:45What the hell was that
26:47Past legal troubles that we need not get into you forgot to mention
26:51That you were the one that pointed the SEC in my direction to begin with
26:54Oh, please I couldn't have been more supportive with the congressman just now. I agree
26:58So what's the catch no catch as?
27:01Loathsome as I feel that you are your brand of loathsome is perfect for Washington. I'm flattered and
27:08Also, I need a favor
27:11Of course you do
27:15Finn wasn't drinking per se at the wedding. He inadvertently grabbed a glass that had champagne in it
27:21and I didn't think that would and
27:24I can tell from your face that he wasn't very forthcoming about that
27:29It's the first time hearing of it. He told me he had his first drink when he found dad
27:34He told me that as well. He came over and we talked
27:38he said that
27:39There was a bottle of alcohol in his apartment that someone had left as a gift and he drank it
27:46After your father died, but he was adamant that he was stopping
27:52He's been drinking the whole time
27:54At my dad's memorial. I saw him taking shots. He's been going to bars like I
28:00Came here because I have questions
28:03I'll do my best
28:05He says he's a drug addict not an alcoholic so he can drink normally like anyone else
28:10It's a story. He's telling in order to justify his behavior
28:15JC hasn't had a drink in years and he goes to regular AA meetings. So he wouldn't do that if he weren't an alcoholic I
28:24Trusted him when he said it was just a slip that he had it under
28:27Control but all addicts say that and I know that because I have training for it. I was willfully blinded by it. Listen to me
28:34Because I know what I'm talking about. This isn't on you. You can't control this
28:40All you can do is take your cues from what he does not what he says
28:46That leads me to my next question he promised me that he was going to AA meetings have you seen him
28:53I admit I've had a couple bad days
28:57But if you and chase think me getting drunk after my father's funeral is a crisis then I don't know what more there is to
29:03say
29:04Say you'll stop lying to yourself and everyone else. I
29:10Didn't want to come back here Finn
29:13Not after what happened last night, which I'm not even sure you fully remember
29:18And yet here I am
29:20Because I love you and you're in trouble and Violet needs a safe home. Violet has a safe home
29:27Please leave my daughter out of she doesn't deserve to be in the middle of your crisis Finn
29:33You got to get help before things get really out of control
29:39You know of all the people in my life
29:42You were the last one I thought would turn their back on me
29:47But clearly that's the choice you've made
29:51All I'm asking is for you to get real with yourself and to give your daughter a break from the way you're handling your grief
30:00She can stay with me and the boys she can go with Jason Brooklyn, you're not going anywhere
30:05Violet is my daughter. I am her father
30:09And she stays with me. That's the last time I'm gonna say that
30:18A day in the life of I feel but this is a great decision. So yes or no
30:24Yes
30:27All right, okay
30:28Well, I will talk to Michael but Michael would do pretty much anything for me and Monica would do anything for him
30:34So it's basically ours. Okay. I okay. I can't wait. I can't I can't wait
30:38Um, well as long as geo this is your last chance
30:43I mean this place is pretty great and
30:45Lois and olivia can probably find a way to keep an eye on you if you move in here
30:48No, I I like my room at the main house
30:50It's got easy access to the back stairs and a great view of the lake
30:55Besides i'd rather have you two as my neighbors
31:02Don't be so cynical drew this isn't a shakedown I
31:08Actually need your advice well, it must be important because you almost sound sincere
31:16It's about willow
31:17That's why I was so anxious to speak with you this morning
31:21Okay
31:22It's her birthday. Well, it's at least the only official birthday that I know about. I know it's willow's birthday. Yeah, of course
31:29You know, it's her birthday and I I was wondering
31:34If you think it's a good idea that I give her a gift just to you know
31:37Recognize the occasion or do you think that would backfire on me seem like I was pushing me to
31:44And before you say, you know, it's none of your business and why am I even asking you?
31:47it's just because last time it went so well when I helped her with her pitch and I
31:54I do have to thank you for that and I appreciate it
31:56And i'm just really terrified now that I am going to make
31:59The wrong move and I am going to undo all the progress that I have made
32:06So, what do you think
32:09I happen to know that michael is having a party for her tonight. Oh, that's nice
32:15Nice
32:18Yeah, I I wouldn't expect him to extend the invitation but
32:23I might be able to arrange something if you play it cool and do exactly as I say
32:33Chase I can't reveal who comes to meetings the second a and aa is anonymous
32:40I
32:42Understand that that you can't say who you see in meetings, but what about who you don't see
32:50There are other aa meetings in town
32:53I know, but my brother is a creature of habit and comfortability. So
32:58He likes the hospital
33:01Okay, have you seen me
33:04at a meeting
33:05No chase I have not seen you at a meeting what about my wife no
33:12And my brother have you seen him at a meeting since my father died
33:20I'm assuming that's no
33:27Leads me to my next question the main reason that i'm here
33:33It's about my niece violet
33:36I
33:39Please
33:41I I just want to know what to expect
33:48I'll speak to him
33:51If he's not going to meetings he needs to speak to someone who's pinned down that rope
33:56And since his sponsor is gone
34:00That leaves me
34:02Chase and I have not been conspiring
34:05We only want what's best for violet and we want you to take care of yourself
34:13You forget i've been through this with you once before
34:16I've seen how powerful your denial can be and that was before you had a child depending on you
34:26Please fin just do the right thing and put that little girl first
34:35I got the mail
34:39That's wonderful, sweetheart, um, I tell you what, uh
