00:00to help you get justice for the baby.
00:03Yes.
00:04You know that I'll do everything that I can to help.
00:08So how do you want me to do that?
00:10I want you to help me prepare for Ava's trial.
00:13Of course. Good.
00:15Because you're the best lawyer I know,
00:17and I have to do everything I can
00:19to make sure that Ava is found guilty for killing Adalah.
00:24Is the seat taken?
00:26Next time you leave a message that you need to discuss my trial,
00:29provide some details, okay?
00:31I've been going crazy worrying about what it could be.
00:34Well, a little worry might be warranted in this case.
00:37Now I'm a lot worried.
00:39What is it?
00:40Your case is winnable, all right?
00:42But I've been very upfront. It's not a slam dunk.
00:44You're not doing anything to ease my anxiety.
00:47Ava, an innocent baby is dead,
00:49two mothers are grieving,
00:51and the police have a photograph with your hands on Christina
00:53right before she went out that window.
00:55It's just not what it looks like.
00:57Yes, I believe you.
00:58But the problem is, we don't know if a jury will.
01:00Is your plan still to paint Christina
01:03as an explosive, unpredictable woman?
01:06You mean like you?
01:09TJ! Hi!
01:11Katrina! Hey, it's great to see you.
01:14You too. It feels like it's been forever.
01:16Are you just starting your workout?
01:18Yeah, well, I hate to come here late,
01:20but workouts keep me sane,
01:22and this is the only time that I can get here.
01:24I have to squeeze my workouts in, too.
01:26I'm heading straight to the hospital after this,
01:28but, you know, it's good to keep busy.
01:31I'm sorry about what happened to Sam.
01:34Um, how's Molly doing?
01:37I wish I could tell you, but I've barely seen her.
01:57Oh, sorry.
02:02Sorry about that.
02:04No problem. Thank you.
02:06Little women, huh?
02:08Must be in the mood for a good cry.
02:11Are you okay?
02:13It seems like something's bothering you.
02:16I could lie and say that everything is fine,
02:18but, uh, yeah, there's something on my mind.
02:23What is it?
02:26There's no good way to ask this,
02:29so I'm just gonna ask it.
02:34How do you feel about Drew moving to D.C.?
02:39Jason, aren't you going to congratulate your brother?
02:42He did it. He's a congressman.
02:44Nice. Yeah.
02:46Oh!
02:56Oh!
03:12What the hell?! Stop! Stop!
03:15No! Leave him alone! Leave him alone!
03:18No! Stop it!
03:20Drew!
03:22You're bleeding.
03:25No, stop! Stop!
03:27No! Leave him alone!
03:30Leave him alone!
03:32That's enough! That's enough, Jason!
03:34Jason, stop! That's enough!
03:38Oh, Drew! Drew!
03:40Oh, look at you! You're hurt!
03:44Why?
03:46You know why.
03:48Why?
03:52What?
03:54You want to tell me what the hell that was about?
04:01I understand if it's difficult to believe me,
04:04but I'm actually glad that Drew is leaving.
04:07Do you mean that?
04:09With Drew in D.C.,
04:11you won't be forced to have a daily reminder
04:13of what I did staring you in the face.
04:16And hopefully, the longer Drew is gone,
04:19the easier it'll be for you to get past it,
04:22the less it'll start to matter to you.
04:24Is that what you want?
04:26That is all I want, Michael.
04:29Glad to hear it.
04:32You don't seem as happy about Drew leaving as I thought you'd be.
04:35No, I...
04:38I'm glad that Drew is leaving.
04:40I'm just not sure it solves the real problem.
04:43What do you mean?
04:45Is Drew leaving Port Charles really enough to save our marriage?
04:51Or is it too little, too late?
04:53No, of course it's not too late.
04:56This will give us a chance to work on our relationship.
04:59Well, I'm glad you feel that way.
05:01Because I know exactly where I want to start.
05:05With the truth.
05:07Losing anyone is devastating.
05:11But Molly and I, we waited so long to be parents.
05:15Irene, dying is excruciating.
05:18We haven't worked through it at all.
05:20We don't have any closure.
05:22Well, maybe you just need more time.
05:24I don't think timing is a thing.
05:26Molly and I both cope by burying ourselves at work.
05:29We're so busy that we're completely avoiding each other.
05:32At this point, we used to love spending time together.
05:34We used to love it.
05:36Well, grief changes you.
05:38I mean, I used to think of myself as somebody that was outgoing,
05:41but after Spencer died, I just, I just felt alone.
05:48I appreciate you sharing your experience.
05:52Molly and I both lost our baby.
05:55I thought we would tackle these hard times together.
05:58We feel so separate right now.
06:02Well, you two are just going through a rough patch.
06:05You'll figure things out.
06:07I don't know.
06:09Now with Sam being gone, I...
06:12Molly is more distant than ever.
06:15She's not confiding in me at all, and I don't blame her.
06:18All this loss has been too much for Molly.
06:22It would be too much for anyone.
06:24Little Women's my favorite book.
06:26Reading it comforts me.
06:28That looks like it isn't your first copy.
06:30No, it's the newest edition.
06:32Just bought it for myself as a little birthday gift.
06:35It's your birthday?
06:37Yeah, today, actually.
06:39Happy birthday.
06:43You are the first person to tell me that this year.
06:46And, um, by the looks of it, maybe the only person who will.
06:51Everyone forgot your birthday.
06:53Seems like it.
06:55I'm sorry. That's a terrible feeling.
06:57No, it's, uh, it's not as bad as it sounds.
07:00My family's always remembered before.
07:02It's just we have a lot going on.
07:04That's no excuse.
07:06It kind of is.
07:08Not to unload on you, but my sister just passed away,
07:13and, um, we're all still in shock,
07:15and we haven't even had the funeral yet,
07:17so we're just, we're dealing with that.
07:19I'm sorry to hear about your sister.
07:23It doesn't even feel real.
07:25Actually, saying it out loud just doesn't even make sense.
07:29I hope you don't mind me asking,
07:31but what happened?
07:33Was she sick?
07:35No.
07:37She was in great health.
07:39She died unexpectedly after a routine surgery.
07:43She was a liver donor.
07:45Wait.
07:47Is your sister Sam McCall?
07:49I'm not worried about the outcome of Ava's trial.
07:54I have faith that justice will prevail,
07:58and the jury is going to find Ava guilty of killing my daughter.
08:02I just want to be as prepared as possible.
08:04Meaning what?
08:06Well, I have been working with the DA's office,
08:08but I trust you far more than anyone in that office,
08:10so why don't we work together?
08:12God knows we could both use the distraction.
08:14Yes.
08:16All right, I think it's a good idea to be as prepped as possible.
08:19You should know exactly what you're going to say
08:21when you take the stand, word for word, if you can do that.
08:24Well, I do know what I'm going to say.
08:26I'm just going to tell the truth.
08:28Of course you're going to tell the truth.
08:30Was that ever a question?
08:32It was an open-shut case.
08:34Honey, there is a possibility
08:38that this case may not work out the way you want it to.
08:41How could you say such a terrible thing to me
08:44when you know that I'm hanging on by a thread?
08:46Look, I need you to understand what's coming.
08:48Prosecution is going to portray you in the worst possible light,
08:51and you need to be ready for that.
08:53I am so sick of everybody in this town
08:56saying such horrible things about me.
08:58I am not the monster they make me out to be.
09:01Well, you sure are touchy for someone whose reputation is less than stellar.
09:04Well, less than stellar is a far cry from baby killer, isn't it?
09:06Okay, that's what I'm trying to say.
09:08You have to be prepared for whatever the ADA is going to throw at you.
09:11And quite frankly, with the way you just reacted to a single thing that I said,
09:15doesn't bode very well for when you're up on that stand
09:17facing intense cross-examination.
09:19I can handle it.
09:20Oh, can you?
09:21Because the prosecution is going to be a lot harder on you than I will.
09:24This will not be my first time on the witness stand.
09:26That's what I'm trying to say.
09:27They are going to come at you with everything that they've got.
09:29They're going to leave no stone or bad deed unturned.
09:32Every single crime, every wrongdoing,
09:36every time you jaywalked, Ava, is going to be dredged up.
09:39And it is my job to make sure that you can stand up under that fire
09:42and not fold and not hurt your case.
09:46I can't.
09:47Good.
09:48Because the most important thing right now
09:50is to see how well you hold up under pressure.
09:55Why would you say that?
09:57Of course the trial's going to go my way.
10:00The truth is on my side.
10:01Unfortunately, it doesn't always matter.
10:04That is the only thing that matters.
10:06Not when Rick Lansing is involved.
10:08Honey, you may be Molly's sister, but he does not care about you,
10:12your feelings, your grief, your pain, nothing.
10:14I can handle Rick.
10:15I don't think that's necessarily true.
10:18Because he is very smart, he is very shrewd,
10:21and he will set a trap that you will walk right into,
10:24and he won't even bat an eye.
10:27I will do everything I can to help you,
10:29but you need to be prepared for the fact
10:31that this may not go the way you want it to.
10:34Because Rick's such a good lawyer.
10:37I'm not going to fall for his traps.
10:40Honey, you already have.
10:42At the grill, when you laid into Ava
10:44and you knocked the drink out of his hand and cut his lip,
10:46you don't think that he's going to use that on the stand
10:48to make you look unstable?
10:49Let him.
10:51I'm not going to be blindsided by him again.
10:54I hope not.
10:55With your help, I will be ready for Rick
10:57in whatever he throws at me.
10:59Why does my past need to be brought up in trial?
11:02Couldn't you argue that it's inadmissible?
11:05No, that kind of motion always gets shot down.
11:08Look, the defendant's character
11:10is very relevant in a case like this,
11:12especially when the prosecution
11:13is trying to establish a pattern of behavior.
11:16There is no pattern of behavior.
11:19Ava, you and I both know
11:21how many brushes with the law you've had.
11:22All of that is going to be admissible.
11:25So then we're back to should I or shouldn't I testify?
11:28No.
11:29You taking the stand is the only real weapon
11:31that we have in our arsenal.
11:33So, you are going to have to confront your past head-on
11:38and accept everything that you've done.
11:41Well, there's one big problem with that.
11:44Nobody in that courtroom will ever be able to understand
11:48why I've done the things I've done.
11:51The truth.
11:54What do you mean?
11:57Look, I've been doing a lot of thinking
11:59since I found out about you and Drew.
12:02Actually, it's all I've been thinking about.
12:04I know.
12:06And what it comes down to, Willow, is that I...
12:11I love you.
12:13And I want to move past this more than anything.
12:15That's what I want, too.
12:17And you have no idea how happy I am
12:19to hear you say that, but...
12:22For two people who say they want a life together,
12:24we're not exactly truthful with each other.
12:26I am sorry that I kept my kiss with Drew from you.
12:30Michael, I regret it more than anything.
12:32I'm not... I'm not just talking about the kiss.
12:42Willow.
12:44You kept secrets from me, and I've kept secrets from you.
12:49I didn't tell you that Dex and I
12:51were planning on taking my father down.
12:53I didn't tell you that Nina was the one
12:55who told the SEC about my mom and Drew.
12:57We have both done things we wish we could take back.
13:00But it was easy for you to keep this kiss with Drew a secret
13:05because it's been our pattern.
13:07It was not easy, Michael.
13:09I wanted to tell you every single day.
13:11I hated lying to you.
13:13It... it was tearing me apart.
13:17Like I said, we both... both lied.
13:21I hate that we've gotten here.
13:24Willow, I just...
13:27I want you to feel like you can be completely honest with me
13:30about everything.
13:32If we are going to make this work,
13:34there can't be any more secrets between us.
13:37But I can't be the only one who wants that to happen.
13:40You need to want it, too.
13:43So are you... are you ready to be completely honest with me?
13:48Don't let him bleed on the upholstery.
13:50What is wrong with you?
13:52I'm thinking of Monica.
13:54If we can give the damage to a minimum,
13:56she never needs to know what the hell happened.
13:58This is insane. Drew was attacked by his own brother.
14:00Which would be very upsetting to Monica.
14:02I'm going to go get you some ice and a dish towel.
14:05Well, Drew, your eye looks really bad.
14:07You really need to go to the emergency room.
14:09No, no.
14:11I can't endure another front-page scandal.
14:13Ned, stop it. If Drew needs medical attention,
14:15that's what's important now, not your family image.
14:18No, Ned's right. I'm not going to the hospital.
14:21It'll draw too much attention to me.
14:23Attention I don't need right now.
14:27Yes, Sam's my sister. Did you know her?
14:30This is a really strange coincidence,
14:33but I'm the surgeon who operated on Lulu Spencer.
14:36Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
14:38Oh, Molly Lansing Davis. Hi.
14:41Nice to officially meet you.
14:43I didn't even know who operated on Lulu.
14:45We were also focused on Sam and Lucas.
14:47It didn't even occur to me to ask about Lulu's doctors.
14:50There's no reason you should have.
14:54And I know I said this already, but I'm sorry for your loss.
14:58From everything I heard, your sister was an amazing person.
15:02She was. Thank you.
15:06I don't know if this is weird, but if you're not meeting someone,
15:11do you want to join me?
15:13I'd love to. No point in both of us eating alone,
15:17especially on your birthday.
15:26I understand now why your family forgot your birthday.
15:30I'm sorry if I was harsh on them before.
15:33No, you didn't know.
15:35Besides, even if they had remembered,
15:38I'm not really in the mood to celebrate, so.
15:41No, even on the hardest of days, it's important to enjoy yourself.
15:46Actually, that's when it's the most important.
15:48And your birthday only comes around once a year.
15:51Be ashamed to waste it.
15:53Only 365 short days till the next one.
15:58Oh, excuse me. I got to take care of something.
16:02Oh, okay.
16:07Ooh, for such a small person, you pack one hell of a punch.
16:11Well, Curtis told me he wanted to make sure I could defend myself
16:14just in case anything happens.
16:16Smart man.
16:17Well, I mean, hey, it comes in handy
16:19when so much as a cut a line in the coffee shop.
16:21Give me my coffee.
16:25I have to get back to work, but thank you for listening earlier.
16:28Seriously, it's so nice having a sympathetic ear
16:30for what Molly and I are going through.
16:32Yeah, well, I'm here for you anytime.
16:34I'll keep that in mind.
16:36Have a great workout.
16:42Well, I don't see that happening.
16:45Why not?
16:47Because of that guy.
16:49Kai Taylor?
16:51You know him?
16:52Trina, everybody knows him.
16:53I did him before the other day.
16:55Kai is the first player in PCU history
16:57to make ESPN's list of top college athletes.
17:00It's huge for the school.
17:01Yeah, so I've heard.
17:02No, really.
17:03He has a great arm, quick release, vision.
17:05He can scramble and run it into the end zone himself.
17:08He's dope.
17:09Well, he's been messing up my GPA.
17:11PCU star quarterback?
17:13Yeah, he's my partner for our project,
17:15and he hasn't showed up to a single class.
17:17Okay, maybe there's a reason why.
17:19He's right over there.
17:21Why don't you go talk to him?
17:24Rick may be good at his job,
17:26but I will do whatever it takes
17:28to beat him in that corp.
17:29You know that I believe you can do
17:31whatever you put your mind to,
17:33but in this instance,
17:34I'm not sure that that's gonna work,
17:37even with my coaching.
17:39That's not good enough.
17:40I can't accept that.
17:41Ava has tortured this family long enough.
17:44She's responsible for Morgan's death and Connie's.
17:47I'm very well aware of Ava's crimes.
17:49Well, it's not fair.
17:50She never has any consequences for her actions,
17:54and I am sick of it.
17:55She belongs in prison
17:56for everything that she has done.
17:58She is responsible for the fact
18:00that I can never hold my daughter,
18:02the fact that I'm never going to experience
18:04being a mother,
18:05and I want Ava to experience
18:08the unbearable pain
18:09of having Avery ripped out of her arms,
18:12and I want her to know
18:13that it was because of me.
18:16I know what it's like
18:17to have something in your past
18:19that you're not proud of.
18:21I had good reasons
18:22for doing all those things
18:24people hate me for.
18:26Well, that's why we're able to do them.
18:28We convince ourselves
18:29it's for the people that we love.
18:32All the mental gymnastics,
18:33we go through to justify it.
18:36It starts with one small bad deed,
18:39and that leads to another,
18:41and then another,
18:42and before you know it,
18:43you've painted yourself so far into a corner
18:45you don't know how you got there in the first place.
18:49And the worst part is,
18:51when it's all over,
18:55we lost the people that we love.
18:57They hate us,
18:59and we're left alone
19:00wondering where it all went wrong,
19:02wondering how we're going to live with the guilt
19:05and the person that you've become.
19:08It sounds familiar.
19:10You see?
19:11Maybe you and I aren't so different after all.
19:15So I'm not going to judge you
19:17because
19:19judging you would mean I'm judging myself,
19:22and I'm not ready to do that.
19:25Okay.
19:27Well, do your worst then.
19:30Be as bloodthirsty as the prosecution is going to be
19:33and ask me a question, they will.
19:39Miss Jerome,
19:42how did you feel when you pushed
19:44Did you feel when you pushed Christina Corinthos Davis out that window?
19:48Was it similar to when you shot and killed Connie Falconeri in cold blood?
19:53Drew, your eye looks terrible.
19:56Do we know a doctor who will be willing to make a house call?
20:00You know, I'm going to get Willow.
20:01She can examine you and make sure that you're okay,
20:03but when I get back, I think we should call the cops.
20:06No. No.
20:07If you think an ambulance would attract attention,
20:09a police car would be even worse.
20:11You can tell the police to keep it discreet.
20:12If the press does find out, I will mitigate the fallout, okay?
20:16Jason needs to be held responsible for what he did.
20:20You just, just hang tight, okay?
20:22I'll be right back.
20:26Don't listen to her.
20:27We're all in agreement, right?
20:28No cops.
20:30You can't ignore the fact that Drew was just attacked in his own home.
20:34All I saw was a disagreement between two brothers.
20:38Disagreement? Look at his eye.
20:39That was more than a disagreement.
20:41Please, please, stop.
20:42No, no cops, no ambulance.
20:47I want the same thing I always have.
20:50A life with you.
20:52You, Wiley, and Amelia.
20:53I want our family to be together.
20:55Is that, is that what you really want?
20:57Or are you just saying this because you feel obligated to?
21:00Michael, I could never think of you as an obligation.
21:03It makes me sad that you would ever think that.
21:05I just, I want to make sure that we're on the same page,
21:07because if we're going to get through this, we both have to fight for our marriage.
21:10That's exactly what I want to do.
21:13Okay, good.
21:16Where do we start?
21:19I think it's time for us to be completely honest with each other.
21:23So do I.
21:35Willow, you need to come to the house.
21:37There's been a fight and someone's injured.
21:40But who's fighting?
21:41Drew and Jason.
21:42Drew's hurt.
21:44Hurry.
21:48Happy birthday to you.
21:52Happy birthday to you.
21:56Happy birthday, dear Molly.
22:01Happy birthday to you.
22:07I hope you like chocolate.
22:09Because that's all they had.
22:11I do like chocolate.
22:13Thank you. This is very sweet. You did not have to do this.
22:17Actually, I did.
22:19Kind of embarrassing for me to admit, but I'm kind of a big birthday guy.
22:23Okay.
22:24I couldn't let your birthday go uncelebrated.
22:26Well, I appreciate your dedication.
22:29Hurry up and make a wish before the wax drips onto the cupcake. Come on.
22:33Okay.
22:35Do you think it's okay to wish for something that isn't possible?
22:40That's the best kind of wish.
22:44Okay.
22:47I did not kill Connie Falconer.
22:49But you were arrested for her murder.
22:51Charges were dropped.
22:52Yes, when the evidence against you disappeared.
22:55Much like the bags that Christina tripped over magically disappeared from your room.
22:59I explained that to the police.
23:01I explained that to the police.
23:04I panicked and I moved the bags.
23:06The same bags that Christina fell over when you pushed her out the window and killed her baby.
23:15I have done terrible things.
23:18Things I wish desperately I could undo.
23:21Things like kill Morgan Corinthos?
23:23I did not kill Morgan.
23:25Oh, I loved Morgan.
23:27Oh, so you didn't replace Morgan Corinthos' bipolar medication with placebos that led to his mental breakdown
23:34and then ultimately causing him to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and dying in that explosion?
23:40Ms. Jerome, you are under oath.
23:47His breakdown was my fault.
23:51I did that.
23:53But I was not responsible for that explosion.
23:57I put him in a vulnerable position, but I never, ever intended for him to die.
24:05Morgan was one of the most beautiful people I've ever known.
24:09I'm not denying that I switched his meds.
24:14And I pray every day for forgiveness for any part that I played in his death.
24:20What happened to him haunts me.
24:23But as tragic as Morgan's death was, it was nothing at all like what happened to Christina's baby.
24:31I've never heard you talk like that before.
24:34Well, I've never experienced what I've been through in the past few months.
24:38The legal system isn't about revenge.
24:41And I know that I'm going to sound contradictory because I can't assure that you'll get it, but the law is about justice.
24:48Not if people don't pay for their crimes. Ava deserves to be punished.
24:53You know who you sound like?
24:56My father?
24:58Angry, cold, talking about Ava like she's not a human being.
25:03Does Ava deserve to be treated like she's a human being?
25:06Do you hear yourself right now? Because if you act like this on the stand, Rick is going to exploit it mercilessly.
25:12I'm not going to let Rick get to me, okay? I'm much more level-headed now.
25:17You don't sound very level-headed.
25:18Well, I am. I'm focused and I have clarity. Ava needs to be punished.
25:23And I'm not saying that because I'm emotional. I'm saying that because that is a fact of justice for the crime that she committed.
25:29Revenge is not the same as justice.
25:32Well, in this case, justice and revenge go hand in hand.
25:38I can't believe that just happened. I hope Drew is okay.
25:42No, his eye looks terrible.
25:45I mean, what on earth could have caused Jason to lose his temper like that?
25:49I wonder if he's still grieving over losing Sam.
25:53Yeah, that's probably it.
25:57What's that?
25:58What?
25:59That look on your face, like you know something.
26:01I have no idea what you're talking about.
26:04You can't kid a kidder, especially not your mom, so come on and spill it.
26:09It's nothing.
26:11It is something. It is this big secret thing that nobody's letting me in on.
26:20Maybe.
26:22Well, then just tell me. I'm your mother. You can trust me.
26:27We've been over this, Ma. You can't keep a secret, okay? And this is a big one, so it's better that you don't know.
26:32Better? Really? Because I'm arguing with you, Dad. I am arguing with you.
26:37I mean, this is affecting my life in this house. Don't I have a right to know what's going on?
26:44Okay, you do have a point, but you have to promise not to tell a single living soul.
26:52Okay, here goes.
26:55Drew and Willow kissed.
26:58Holy cannoli.
26:59I know. That's why we were trying to keep the whole thing under wraps.
27:02And obviously, Jason knows now, so this is bad, Ma. This is really bad.
27:09Oh, my God.
27:11What happened?
27:12Well, Jason Morgan happened. He attacked Drew out of nowhere.
27:17Why the hell would he do that?
27:20Let's let Willow take a look at Drew's eye. Michael, can I talk to you in the foyer?
27:25You told Jason about Drew and Willow?
27:27It just kind of happened.
27:29I know Drew is a smug, cheating bastard who ruined your marriage, but Jason?
27:33I had no idea he'd do something like this.
27:35Come on. You know he likes to take matters into his own hands.
27:41See you later, Trina.
27:42See you.
27:44Are you going to dump that on me, too?
27:47What are you doing?
27:48Don't you work out at that fancy athletes-only gym on campus?
27:51Usually, yes, but it's closed. Under maintenance right now, so.
27:55Well, I'm sorry that you have to slum it with the regular people.
27:57I don't think about it like that at all.
27:59Whatever. I don't care where you work out as long as it's not in my space.
28:04Okay, look. I think you and I got off on the wrong foot, right?
28:08And I came here to tell you that I really do care about you.
28:11And I really do.
28:12Okay, look. I think you and I got off on the wrong foot, right?
28:16And I came here to tell you that I really do want to make things right.
28:20What do you mean?
28:21I got a hold of my course schedule, okay?
28:23And I have every intention to come to our classes for the rest of the year.
28:26And I will work really hard to do well.
28:30Well, don't bother.
28:32Why?
28:33Because I already asked for a new partner for our group project.
28:36And once it's approved, I'll never have to think about you again.
28:42Okay.
28:48With everything that's going on, maybe you should only read part one today.
28:52The happy part.
28:53Well, happy-ish.
28:56Okay, I mean this as a compliment.
28:58I don't think I've ever met a guy who is this familiar with little women.
29:03There's a perfectly good reason for that.
29:05Okay, do tell.
29:06Well, when I was providing medical services for refugees in Africa,
29:12it was the only book I could get my hands on.
29:14So I must have read it like ten times.
29:17Maybe more.
29:19Wow, that's very impressive.
29:21I mean, yeah, it's a great book.
29:24It's definitely getting me through a hard time.
29:27I get it.
29:29Immersing yourself in a book is better than something less constructive.
29:34Like binge drinking, which is what a lot of people would be doing right now.
29:37Yes.
29:38Well, self-destructive coping mechanisms aren't really my thing.
29:42It's much more my sister Christina's speed.
29:45Oh, you're one of several girls.
29:47Is that why you love the book so much?
29:48Yeah.
29:49I mean, I've always related to it.
29:51My sisters and I have different dads, so my mom's always been the one to bind us together.
29:57Blue like Marmee.
29:59She's always comparing us to the Larch sisters.
30:03Which one are you?
30:04Meg.
30:05Obviously.
30:06The responsible one.
30:07Obviously.
30:08Yeah.
30:09My sister Christina is totally an Amy.
30:11Spoiled and impulsive.
30:13And Sam's definitely Jo.
30:15Just independent and outspoken.
30:22Was a Jo.
30:25Sorry, I don't think I will ever get used to referring to Sam in the past tense.
30:30I just realized Chase missed this whole thing.
30:32Yeah, he got called out on an emergency.
30:34Well, it's probably best that he wasn't here.
30:36Otherwise, he would have had to arrest Jason.
30:38Yeah, it would have put Chase in a terrible position.
30:40Anyways, we should go bring this to Drew.
30:41He's probably in a lot of pain.
30:42Yeah, well, I guess that's what happens when you kiss someone else's wife.
30:45Shh.
30:46Shh.
30:47Shh.
30:50What the hell were you thinking?
30:52Now the whole town's gonna know that Willow and Drew were playing footsie.
30:55Hey, now the whole town's gonna know that Willow and Drew were playing footsie.
30:59I don't have to explain myself to you, but I needed somebody to talk to.
31:03I hope it was worth it.
31:11I know, I'm sorry.
31:12No, it's okay, it's okay.
31:13I just think my eye took the worst of it.
31:21Here.
31:22Here's an ice pack.
31:25This is awful.
31:27Yes, it is.
31:29Why did Jason attack you?
31:30Does he know what happened between us?
31:32No.
31:33No, it's impossible.
31:35We're the only two people that know.
31:49Hello?
31:51Hi, Dr. Randolph.
31:52What can I do for you?
31:56Can I ask what this is about?
32:01Sure, I'll head over now.
32:14Hi.
32:15Hello.
32:16I was just heading out.
32:19Happy birthday.
32:21You remembered.
32:22Of course I remembered.
32:23It's your birthday.
32:29Oh my gosh.
32:32I know how much you always loved mine, so I thought I would get you one of your own.
32:37I hope you don't mind that we're matching.
32:40No, of course not.
32:41I love it.
32:44Happy birthday.
32:47What happened to Christina was a terrible accident.
32:49She hadn't tripped over that bag, that stupid bag.
32:53If I could do it all over again, I never would have let Cates leave his luggage in my room.
32:58You couldn't have known what would happen.
33:00No, of course not.
33:02But the bag is the reason I'm in this mess to begin with.
33:05I shouldn't have moved it after Christina fell.
33:08That's what makes me look guilty.
33:10And I'm not.
33:12How could people think that I would hurt a pregnant woman?
33:14How could people think that I would hurt a pregnant woman?
33:17And don't they know that is a line that I would not cross?
33:20Apparently not.
33:22You know, I've barely slept since it happened.
33:26I lay in bed at night, remembering the look on Christina's face right before she fell.
33:34How shocked she was.
33:37And then I remember the sound of the glass breaking.
33:41And her scream, my God.
33:44That scream.
33:46So panicked and scared.
33:50I'll never forget it.
33:53Christina lost her baby.
33:55Her daughter.
33:57That she loved and couldn't wait to meet.
34:02Just like I lost my precious Kiki.
34:06I know how horrible that pain is.
34:09How it ripped you apart.
34:12I could never inflict that kind of suffering on another mother. Never.
34:17And shame on the people in this town who think I could.
34:20I would give up everything I have if I could give Christina back her baby.
34:27That's it.
34:29That's perfect.
34:31What?
34:33That speech.
34:35That's exactly what I want you to say on the stand.
34:37Look, it was heartfelt. It was sympathetic. It was real.
34:44Look, if you take accountability the way you just did, you've got this wind locked up.
34:55There.
34:59It means more than you know.
35:01Especially this year.
35:03Sam's wishing you a happy birthday too.
35:04Yeah.
35:23The cuts will have to be cleaned, otherwise we'll get infected.
35:26I'll come by in the morning to check on you.
35:28Oh, you don't have to do that.
35:30I want to make sure you're okay.
35:33I'm so sorry this happened to you.
35:37Orlo, it's going to be fine.
35:39I'm going to be fine.
