00:00I've made my decision the defendant will be held without bail and remanded to
00:06Bentonville Penitentiary while she awaits trial.
00:16Your Honor, given the nature of the charges it's not unusual to deny bail
00:23but there are other options for incarceration. Your Honor, we've
00:27established this wouldn't be Miss Davis's first trip to Bentonville
00:31Penitentiary. Counsel is correct however I was transferred from Bentonville to a
00:36minimum security facility. May I remind the court Miss Davis is charged with
00:40murder of an FBI agent. I didn't need a reminder. Remanding the defendant to the
00:45penitentiary is the only appropriate course of action and the United States
00:48government asks you to stand by your decision. Given that the charges are
00:52circumstantial the penitentiary, Your Honor, is cruel and extreme. I've heard
00:57more than enough. You'll both be able to address the charges at trial. In the
01:02meantime, my decision stands. The defendant will be held at Bentonville
01:07without bail. No, you can't do this. No. I don't care what you got to do, Brick. Just get him here. Yeah.
01:22Hey, is this a bad time? It's been a day. Okay, well I know you've got a whole lot
01:38going on but I just thought maybe we could take a moment and celebrate.
01:48Elizabeth. Hey. I haven't seen you all day. Oh, it's been a busy one. Same here. I mean the
01:55patients, they're one thing, but the admin. Why did we want to be in charge again?
02:00Oh, I became a head nurse for the glamour. Oh, me the flexible hours. You seem to be in a
02:06good mood today. I'm having dinner with Trina after work. Oh, I'm so jealous. What
02:12I would give to have dinner with all three of my boys. Well, you still have
02:16Aiden. I know. Give Trina a hug for me. I will. I will. I can't wait to catch up with her.
02:22Yes, enjoy your time together. Thank you. I'll see you soon. Bye. Okay.
02:34Hi. How is my ridiculously handsome attorney doing today? Never mind me. How
02:44are you? To be crisp and the lettuce and tomato is supposed to be bendy. Not the
02:50other way around. No argument there. But fortunately, that's a compromise I'm not
02:56gonna have to make much longer. Right?
03:03Right?
03:07I'm sorry Heather, but you're never getting out of here.
03:14I'm sorry.
03:36Why? What happened? I received the results from your blood test from GH.
03:42Yeah, that should only help our case. For the labs to be helpful, there needs to be a
03:47significant difference between the cobalt levels in your blood before your
03:51surgery and after. There isn't? According to these results, the difference is
03:59negligible. But how is that possible? It's not like I've been sucking on cobalt
04:06lollipops all day. I don't know how. I can find out or you can ask the health experts
04:12here at the prison. Health experts? We have one lame doctor and a couple of nurses.
04:20Maybe they've been feeding me cobalt rich food. My bacon looked a little blue.
04:25The fact is Heather, according to these results, your previous hip did not give
04:31you cobalt poisoning, which means the crimes that you committed, all of those
04:37murders, you did on your own accord.
04:43You can't send my mom to prison. This is a huge mistake. Miss Davis, get your daughter under control or she'll be removed from the court.
04:50I understand. You don't understand. You need to control her. Your honor, I'm so sorry. My daughter is suffering from a series of very traumatic events.
04:59I am sympathetic, but I will not tolerate disruptions in my courtroom. Understood?
05:08My ruling stands. Tentonville, no bail. Court is adjourned. All rise.
05:14So what are we celebrating? Well, as CFO of Deception, I just thought it was my duty to update you on your investment.
05:33Oh, I let's go. Well, I take it. I just closed a three year distribution deal with
05:43goddess clean beauty that's going to generate more than 10 million dollars minimum.
05:52Wow, that's great. Now, I know you meant that deep, deep down.
05:59No, I got a lot in my mind. I know. I know. I know that you've got Christina's mother's
06:05arraignment is today. And I was just honestly trying to take your mind off it for a minute.
06:13I appreciate the effort, but it's like I can't focus when I know that Alexis is
06:18facing time for a crime she didn't commit. You seem so sure.
06:24Well, she's not capable of doing something like that. I mean, she's defending, protecting her
06:31daughter. Yes, but that no. Well, then I think we just need to have some faith.
06:42I'm not really in that good of terms with the almighty.
06:47The almighty. Actually, I was talking about the legal system. I just think that if Alexis
06:54is innocent, the authorities are going to figure that out. They're going to find the actual murder.
07:04Alexis is Christina's mother. We don't always see eye to eye, but she'll do anything for her
07:10daughter. Of course, you care what happens to her. Yeah, I do. You're still connected to a
07:15few of your exes for better or for worse. Ava being like the worst in every possible way.
07:23You're lucky I can't stand to be in the same room with any of my exes for more than
07:2710 minutes. Sometimes two minutes. I'll drink to that.
07:34How about that? Sorry, I gotta take this. Yeah. I'm so sorry.
07:50I need you to help me understand. It's pretty self-explanatory.
08:07No, I'm not talking about the blood test. What I don't get is my former lawyer,
08:13Scott Baldwin, was sure that we had a solid case. He's the one who convinced me to pursue
08:19this in the first place. Look, we both should have managed your expectations better. In our
08:25defense, the case had a lot of potential. But this doesn't make any sense. Ever since I had
08:33that bad hip taken, whatever, the old hip replaced, I've been better. I stopped having
08:41those dark thoughts. I can't even make sense of my actions before I went under the knife.
08:48Under the knife. It's probably where a lot of people think that I deserve to be.
08:56Maybe you anticipated feeling that way and your feelings changing, and then they did,
09:02even though your condition didn't have anything to do with it at all.
09:06No, no, no. I don't think I'm different. I am different. Look, I know that I've never been
09:18an angel, but when I was consumed with that hatred and that revenge, something was off.
09:27And I'm better now. I am so much better. Even so,
09:36I can't see a path forward with this case.
09:42What? You mean,
09:46that's just it? I'm sorry.
09:57Well, you know, thanks for trying. I know this wasn't your fault, this outcome.
10:07I also know that it isn't what you want either.
10:11Sure, there was a pretty big payday in this for you, right?
10:16That was the hope, yes. You're honest.
10:19Well, lawyer honest. Thank you, I think. There's value in that.
10:31And just so you know, this is never about the money for me. I mean, don't get me wrong,
10:38the money would have been great because it would have allowed me to be a better grandma
10:45to my little ace. It would have allowed me to be a grandma at all.
10:57You just lost a grandchild, didn't you? I am so sorry.
11:08There is nothing worse than losing someone that's supposed to outlive you.
11:16After losing my Esme and my dear Franco.
11:27This is my last shot at having a family.
11:37I'm sorry, but I'm afraid.
12:08So.
12:21Can you just sit down, please? Please, just for a sec, please.
12:30For who? For me.
12:32It's better for you. It's a bonus.
12:36We should be doing something to help mom.
12:40Like what? Break her out of prison? If I could, I would.
12:45You want to help mom? You're doing it right now.
12:49How? By getting the help you need.
12:53Honey, I brought you here because this is where you need to be.
12:56After falling out of a window, nearly dying, losing a baby, losing a sister,
13:05not to mention everything Kate's put you through.
13:10I wish I had killed Kate's. Don't say that. I wasn't strong enough.
13:16It is not strength to take a life of a person out of revenge.
13:21I wonder if Jason would agree or my dad.
13:27OK, you know what? I'm not.
13:30Obviously, I'm not a professional here, but everything that you've experienced,
13:33this, this trauma. Look, it's had to have caused PTSD, right?
13:39You wouldn't be thinking about killing someone if any of this never happened.
13:45I feel like I'm never going to be the same. Like I'm broken, honey.
13:57You're not broken. That's why you're here.
14:00You're going to get professional help. And you cannot do this on your own.
14:05OK? What if what if we call my dad?
14:15No. He really knows what to do.
14:18No, he doesn't know how to deal with anything like this.
14:21No, no, no. You need to talk to someone who knows how to handle this.
14:23He always has good ideas.
14:24You are going to stay put and you are going to talk to someone who's professional.
14:27You understand? OK.
14:32Yeah, I don't even know what's taking so long.
14:34I'm going to be right back. I'm just gonna be right there, OK?
14:46Oh, I'm sorry.
14:50Oh, Mr. Popular.
14:54Oh, sure.
14:56What's going on?
14:58Did you know that the arraignment is over?
15:01How's mom?
15:02Well, the judge denied her bail and sent her to Pentonville to wait the trial.
15:07Wait a minute. She's no danger to the community.
15:11It's the murder of an FBI agent. So they sent a Fed to prosecute her.
15:17There's no death penalty in the state of New York, but there is in a federal case.
15:20But that's unacceptable.
15:23It's all my fault. I took your gun and mom thought and now.
15:28Christina, just breathe. Understand me? Just breathe.
15:34OK, OK.
15:35Let me take care of your mom's situation.
15:38The best thing you can do for your mom is help yourself.
15:41It's funny. Sam said the same thing.
15:43Well, when she's right, she's right.
15:46I'll tell her you said that.
15:47So you good?
15:52Yeah, I'm good.
15:54Love you, dad.
15:55I love you, too, sweetheart.
15:57Take care of yourself.
16:01That didn't sound like it went well.
16:05Alexis was denied bail and sent to Pentonville.
16:11That's crazy. I'm so sorry.
16:12Your family has been through so much.
16:14Yeah, it has not been easy.
16:16Did they set a date after the trial?
16:20Let me tell you something.
16:23I'm going to do everything I can so that Alexis doesn't spend one more second than she has to.
16:31In Pentonville.
16:46So
18:16what are you doing here?
18:28Well, I was just in the neighborhood and I thought I'd stop by and say hi to my favorite ex-wife.
18:32You know, it's funny.
18:34I'm probably your only ex-wife who doesn't want to kill you.
18:38Yeah, probably the one that would want it most, right?
18:42That almost sounded like an apology.
18:45I'll let you figure that one out.
18:47Yeah, it is you we're talking about.
18:50So what's the real reason you're here?
18:53I'm waiting on confirmation for Heather's test results.
18:56Yeah, how's that going?
18:58Well, it was going good for a while.
19:01Now I'm afraid it's all over for Heather.
19:05Christina, I'm so glad you're here.
19:07After everything you've been through, I'm amazed you're still standing.
19:12So am I.
19:13The hospital offers a wide array of support and resource services, if you'd like to hear about them.
19:23Yes, I would.
19:25Let's move into the conference room where we can talk privately.
19:29Oh, I'll just be right here, okay?
19:31Yeah, go ahead.
19:41Hey.
19:59It may look like I'm doing a sales pitch for the hospital, but I am here solely on your behalf.
20:06Good to know.
20:08Please feel free to speak openly and honestly.
20:15Usually I don't hold anything back, but lately I just...
20:25I don't even know where to start.
20:27How about with the present?
20:28How are you doing right now?
20:32How am I doing right now?
20:33I mean, I feel upset and angry and sad and guilty.
20:47I feel like a failure.
20:59I feel empty.
21:01I feel empty.
21:04What you're feeling is normal for someone going through what you're experiencing.
21:09Sam said it might be PTSD.
21:14I'll leave that for the professionals to decide, but what I can tell you is losing a child is devastating.
21:23Yeah.
21:26You know, when you're pregnant, you have all these fears of what could happen to your child,
21:33and you never imagine that any of them actually will happen.
21:38And even when I was in the hospital, I never let myself think that Adela could...
21:47Could...
21:52Sorry.
21:54No, no, no, no, no.
21:54You don't have to apologize for what you're feeling.
22:00Yeah, everyone says that.
22:02I mean, most people do.
22:07I guess it's true what they say about grief comes in waves, right?
22:12I guess it's true what they say about grief comes in waves, right?
22:18It just feels like lately it's been like tsunami after tsunami.
22:24Christina, you have experienced a number of devastating traumas.
22:31I mean, God, just the fall out of the window.
22:37Yeah, I keep replaying that in my mind.
22:40It's not unusual.
22:42Add that to the injury, the loss, and where your relationship with your sister stands now.
22:50It's just, I think, just a lot to process.
22:55People who are going through what you have gone through suffer from postpartum depression,
23:02hormonal changes, and PTSD.
23:05PTSD.
23:09That sounds right.
23:11As a patient advocate, I can walk you through all of the hospital's mental health resources, but
23:20as a mother, one who has lost her own child, I'm going to help you get through this.
23:27You're not alone, Christina.
23:36I know it feels like you are right now, but you're not alone.
23:42So, um, what's next?
23:49Well, that's up to you.
23:52I can connect you to the hospital psychiatrist who specializes in postpartum.
24:01Support groups, okay.
24:06No offense, Felicia, but I really hate that idea.
24:10But I guess that's, um, I guess that's where I need to start then, right?
24:17Many bereaved mothers have found connecting with other women who are going through the
24:22same loss and the same emotions to be invaluable.
24:27Okay, yes, sign me up.
24:29Okay.
24:30But we have to tell Sam, like now, we have to tell her together because I know myself,
24:35and I know that if I don't have someone to hold me accountable, I will never go.
24:40Trying to in-ran yourself?
24:44Yeah, yeah.
24:47So we're off and running.
24:51Christina, I know it may not feel like it right now,
24:56but if you do the work, your pain will be significantly less.
25:05Okay.
25:11Now that Heather's appeal isn't happening,
25:14will you be staying in Port Charles?
25:18Why, you want me to stay?
25:19Idle curiosity.
25:22Actually, I'm going to stick around for a little while.
25:25For Molly.
25:25She's going to need me.
25:27Especially since Alexis has been remanded to Pentonville awaiting trial.
25:32Wait, what?
25:34Yeah, we were all blindsided by it.
25:41I'm sorry, I gotta go.
25:43Yeah, yeah, no, I've got rounds to do.
25:50Yes, we're glancing.
25:52How did things get this bad?
25:55You were the one that answered that?
25:58I mean, I know Christina being Molly's surrogate was a terrible idea,
26:01but no one could have predicted this insanity.
26:04No, no.
26:05I mean, what happened with the baby, that is tragic.
26:09It was before that.
26:13You know, when Christina started thinking about keeping the baby
26:16and Molly feeling betrayed, which I get.
26:20But I also understand Christina's point.
26:22Sure.
26:23I mean, Christina made a promise that turned out to be impossible for her to keep.
26:30And now there's just this anger and this blaming,
26:32and I bet you my sister's having me gunned to start the grieving process.
26:36Well, how can they?
26:36With Kate stepping in, openly going after Christina.
26:41Well, I hate to say it, but I'm glad he's gone.
26:45I mean, I don't know if many people are going to miss the guy, but he...
26:48Point is, he's like a roadblock for your family being able to grieve.
26:54At least I was able to convince Christina to come here, right?
26:56Yeah.
26:58Where's Molly?
27:02Probably upset somewhere, because the focus is still on Christina.
27:06Right.
27:07It's kind of had to be, because...
27:11Christina's a little needy, her.
27:15I think that Christina just doesn't remember that Molly also lost a child.
27:24That's what I don't understand.
27:25How can neither one of them understand the other's grief and loss?
27:30Because they're not dealing with the situation head on.
27:33Instead of making it about the baby they both lost,
27:35they're making it about each other, and they need to focus on the loss and not avoid it.
27:39And I'm telling you, I am terrified about what's going to happen to our family.
27:47Mr. Krenthal?
27:49Mr. Gray, thanks for coming over.
27:51Well, he's nothing but...
27:53Not persuasive.
27:54You're a communications director, Mr. Brick?
27:58Just Brick.
27:59Did he explain to you why I needed to see you?
28:02Oh, he gave me the gist of it.
28:03If I understand correctly, you want me to step in for Diane Miller.
28:07If that's the case, I'd be more than happy to act as your counsel.
28:12Diane is my attorney, and I'll do with respect to your abilities.
28:19I'm not going to let you get away with this, Mr. Krenthal.
28:22I'm not going to let you get away with this, Mr. Krenthal.
28:24I'm not going to let you get away with this, Mr. Krenthal.
28:26I'm not going to let you get away with this, Mr. Krenthal.
28:29She's the best.
28:32You're not here to represent me.
28:35You're here to represent Alexis Davis.
28:48Thank you, Felicia, for your help.
28:51Feel free to reach out with any questions that you might have.
28:59Okay.
29:01Christina?
29:03Yeah, uh, sorry.
29:07I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with all this information.
29:11You know, it's a lot on top of what you're already going through.
29:14Um, no.
29:15No, it's not that.
29:16Um...
29:17Go ahead.
29:18You can talk to me.
29:21It's just, um...
29:25I feel...
29:28I feel behind in my grief.
29:31Like, like there's already so many things I should have been doing.
29:38Well, you know what they say about planting a tree?
29:42No, I'm not a sort of gardener.
29:46Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.
29:49Second best time is right now.
29:53You're not on a timetable, you're in your life.
29:55You're here right now and you're getting help.
30:04What if it's not enough?
30:07I mean, I know, um...
30:10I know that I can't ever get over it, but I do...
30:15I think I could learn to carry it.
30:21It's possible.
30:22Trust me, I know.
30:25I know you do.
30:27It's just, the thing I don't know is, um...
30:32How do I carry my guilt?
30:35Guilt? For what?
30:41My...
30:46My baby died because of a fall.
30:51A fall that happened because I was...
30:54Somewhere where I shouldn't have been.
31:00Well, there is one thing I have learned about guilt.
31:04It does no good and it doesn't help.
31:09But everything could have been different if I never went to Ava's hotel room.
31:16My sister, Molly...
31:19She blames me for what happened to the baby and my biggest fear...
31:33Is that she's right and I am responsible.
31:38You didn't jump out of the window.
31:40No, I didn't, but I created the circumstances for that accident to happen.
31:47Led to the what?
31:48The accident.
31:50Exactly.
31:51Things happen, sometimes terrible things, that are nobody's fault.
31:58But even though it's nobody's fault, there's always someone that's accountable.
32:04Right?
32:05And I mean all these things that are happening.
32:08Losing my baby and this rift with my sister and everything that happened with my mom.
32:17All of that is because of me.
32:21What if it is?
32:23What are you gonna do with it?
32:24I don't know.
32:26Well, think of it this way.
32:27What if it isn't?
32:28I mean, how are you gonna deal with that?
32:33I...
32:39I guess that's what I'm here to figure out.
32:43Best thing you can do for you and your mom.
32:46Is work on yourself and your mental health and that is what you're doing.
32:53This is a great first step.
33:05Diane can't handle Alexa's case because she's representing me in the same case.
33:13How were you involved?
33:14Well, I was a person of interest before, you know, before Alexis, but...
33:19You know what?
33:20Can we just get...
33:20Who's her current attorney?
33:23She's representing herself.
33:24And she's making a mistake.
33:26Even if she is capable, it's a fool's error.
33:29She'd be better off with Scott Baldwin.
33:31That's saying something.
33:33Alexis is stubborn.
33:34She likes to do everything her way.
33:35She can't.
33:36She's been around long enough.
33:38She should know that.
33:39Well, uh, that's why you're here.
33:41She needs representation.
33:44Uh, somebody that can beat these charges.
33:48Well, I'd be a fool not to be interested.
33:55Murder of a federal agent.
33:59Well, that is huge.
34:02The amount of attention this thing is going to get, you can't buy that kind of publicity.
34:10I need somebody.
34:13Who's doing this for the right reasons.
34:16Who will do anything.
34:18Let me say it again.
34:20Anything to win.
34:24Well, I certainly have no intention of losing.
34:30We have a deal.
34:33We have a deal.
34:36No one in my family is thinking clearly.
34:39I feel like everything, all of the sanity is up to me.
34:43Oh, well, I mean, that's a scary thought.
34:48Like we just have to focus on helping your mom.
34:51How do we do that?
34:53Well, I did have a little chat with Michael about that.
34:57Really?
34:58And what did he say?
35:00He said that I should focus less on finding who killed Kate's
35:03and more on finding the evidence to clear my mom.
35:06Makes sense.
35:08Well, look, your mom's only involved in this thing because she threw that gun down into Blackstone
35:11Canyon, right?
35:12But we both know Christina, my mom had nothing to do with this.
35:14So that was not the gun that killed Kate's.
35:17Right.
35:17That's a ballistics test will prove that.
35:20My mom will be exonerated and Christina will be removed as a suspect.
35:24Except that gun now is at the bottom of a river and the police divers can't even find it.
35:31I wish we knew like.
35:32An expert diver.
35:37I am.
35:38Look, I did that water.
35:39That's choppy water.
35:40I can handle an undercurrent.
35:42But I just I don't know that I love the sounds of this.
35:48I thought you'd say that.
35:49All right.
35:50So there's no talking out of it.
35:53Waste of breath.
35:54All right.
35:57OK.
35:57So what's next?
36:03I'm going to find the gun my mom tossed and then I'm going to end this nightmare for my family.
36:13What about your left?
36:16Yeah, I was wondering if I could ask you a question.
36:19Does it involve going to a police station to implicate someone in a murder?
36:23It's a medical issue.
36:24It's for a case.
36:25Oh, well, as long as I'm not violating anyone's right to privacy.
36:28No, you're not.
36:29I swear.
36:30Ask away.
36:31All right.
36:32So these are results from the GH lab.
36:38And these are the results from the same blood sample.
36:41The same sample?
36:42Yeah, same sample that was taken at the same time,
36:45but sent off to another lab for redundant testing.
36:48Now, am I wrong?
36:50Am I reading this wrong?
36:51Or are these results different?
36:55They're not even close.
36:58The cobalt levels from the outside of my report are much lower.
37:02You're absolutely sure of that?
37:05Yeah, this test should be done again.
37:07There's something seriously wrong.
37:22Excuse me, guard.
37:23I'm told I have a cellmate, and I would like to just sort of
37:30try to lie down, and I don't know which bunk that I'm supposed to...
37:35Great.
37:54I'm an ex-general hospital.
37:58I put my life in her hands any day of the week.
38:01Somehow, I will help you.
38:03Why doesn't that surprise me?
38:04You're the one person that will do anything for me.
38:06Why don't you be prepared?
38:08Too little, too late.
38:09I guess we've got a break.
