00:00♪♪
00:05Hey. Hey.
00:07Thanks for meeting me. Mm-hmm.
00:08Is everything okay?
00:09You're not gonna believe this.
00:11Another patient with a clean bill of health just died.
00:14What? Of a heart attack on my watch out of nowhere.
00:17Listen, I'm so sorry.
00:18Lucky, this is starting out exactly like Sam's.
00:21Yeah, well, that can't be a coincidence.
00:23Right.
00:24So, do you have any updates on the investigation?
00:27No. No, and I've gone over everything in my head
00:29like a million times.
00:32Something's definitely wrong here.
00:35♪♪
00:43♪♪
00:51♪♪
00:59♪♪
01:05This is real.
01:07♪♪
01:10You're really gone.
01:12♪♪
01:14Jax.
01:17How are you not here anymore?
01:20♪♪
01:27♪♪
01:34Water.
01:36Fun.
01:37It's got bubbles and, um, lime.
01:41Well, that sounds like a good time.
01:45You must be crawling out of your skin, huh?
01:47I should be trying to get a lead on Charlotte.
01:49No, you should be taking a breather
01:51because you're recovering.
01:52How can I breathe when my daughter's missing?
01:55We'll find her.
01:58Valentines is connected as they come, Dante.
02:00They could literally be anywhere.
02:02Yeah, and I understand how that can be
02:05a scary and overwhelming thought.
02:07Why do you think I broke into Windermere tonight?
02:09I don't know, because you got a death wish, maybe?
02:11Because I need a clue.
02:12I don't care what it is or how I get it
02:14as long as it points me in their direction.
02:16Yeah, you also need a reality check, Willow.
02:22A big one.
02:27I won't be the one who leaks that video
02:29for all the reasons that you mentioned.
02:32To protect my children, to protect your daughter,
02:34to protect Willow from her own humiliating mistake.
02:37And you know what? That protects you, too.
02:39So you're hiding behind them
02:41to protect your own reputation, right?
02:43So, so much for Willow's hero.
02:45Michael, you don't know anything about Willow and me.
02:48Yeah? Then why don't you tell me?
02:52I could fill you in, but you're not going to like
02:54what you're going to hear.
02:55I still want to hear it.
02:59This is, this is not about, like, ego
03:01or it's not about, about hero worship.
03:04It's certainly not about Willow feeling indebted to me
03:07because I saved her life.
03:09Michael, we developed legitimate feelings for each other.
03:15Did Willow say that?
03:18You know Willow.
03:20Would she ever cheat on you if it wasn't real?
03:24And we fought this for months.
03:28Do you expect me to thank you for showing so much restraint?
03:31Willow and I, we ignored how we felt
03:35until we couldn't anymore.
03:36And I am so sorry that we hurt you.
03:40This is, this is a horrible thing to do to anybody,
03:42never mind family.
03:44Yeah.
03:45Imagine if you actually understood
03:46the meaning of that word.
03:49If you actually cared about anybody but yourself, right?
03:52Monica, your stepmother, me, your nephew,
03:56your daughter and her ties to everyone in this house.
03:59If you would have stopped and just thought about us
04:01just for a minute, maybe, maybe you wouldn't have slept
04:04with my wife and tore my family apart.
04:09Sorry we had to wake you guys up,
04:11but we're gonna go over to Grandma Nina's
04:12for a sleepover adventure, okay?
04:14Okay.
04:15Okay, let's go.
04:19Where are you all off to in such a hurry?
04:22You wouldn't be trying to take Michael's children
04:25away from him now, would you?
04:27Look, kids, Grandma Carly.
04:30Say hi.
04:31Hi, Grandma.
04:32Hey.
04:33Oh, my goodness, it's so good to see you.
04:35We would love to stay and chat,
04:37but we're on our way to a sleepover adventure, aren't we?
04:40Yay!
04:41And you see how excited they are?
04:43I do, I do, I see.
04:45But if you think I'm not gonna stop what's going on here
04:48because the children are present,
04:51you're super duper wrong.
05:10Do you want to come to the sleepover?
05:22Oh, thank you so much for asking me.
05:24And as much as I love a good sleepover,
05:26I think you guys need to stay here tonight.
05:28This is not the type of place for an adult conversation,
05:31so why don't we wait for that tomorrow?
05:33Oh, okay, you're right.
05:34Now you guys can go get back in bed.
05:36Carly, and you know what the best thing is?
05:38Is when you wake up in the morning, your daddy will be here.
05:40The kids should be with me tonight.
05:42Great, then you can stay here too,
05:44and Grandma Nina can find her way home.
05:46Not without my grandchildren.
05:49Get out of the way.
05:55I never meant to hurt your family.
05:57Oh, yeah, but you did.
05:59You tore our family apart,
06:00and now you have no problem asking me to keep quiet about it.
06:03Right, because now you're a politician, right?
06:06A career that you chose.
06:07A career with a very public life.
06:09I can handle the exposure.
06:11Michael can willow?
06:12I already told you I'm not going to be the one who leaks the footage.
06:15But staying silent only delays the inevitable.
06:17It's going to come out eventually.
06:19Well, the quarter mains are used to that.
06:21They've all cheated on people.
06:22Oh, not me.
06:24God, Tracy, just stay away.
06:26Yeah, but we haven't addressed
06:28your disgusting use of your grief
06:32as justification for sleeping with Michael's wife.
06:35That's a new low, Drew.
06:36Even my quarter main standards.
06:38I already assured Drew that I won't be leaking the footage,
06:40but I can't speak for everybody else,
06:42so do whatever the hell you want with him.
06:46We're aware to begin.
06:51If I had to tell Rocco tonight that he lost you again,
06:54and this time because I accidentally shot you,
06:57don't say anything cute here.
07:00Here, really think about it.
07:07That would be horrible.
07:08Yeah.
07:12I get this hunt you're on for Charlotte is consuming you,
07:16but you got to be safe.
07:21You get hurt.
07:22Something happens to you that does you no good,
07:25and Rocco no good, and Charlotte no good.
07:32I'll tell you one thing that hasn't changed,
07:38and I still hate it.
07:39Hate what?
07:41When you're right.
07:43I am right.
07:46This one isolated time.
07:50I'm still going to need that in writing.
07:58The patient was Dex Heller.
08:01Jocelyn's boyfriend?
08:03He came in with a stab wound.
08:04It was a straightforward surgery.
08:06Post-op he was alert, totally himself,
08:09and then all of a sudden the alarms went crazy.
08:12Was it the digitalis like Sam?
08:15The report isn't back yet, so I can't say for sure, but...
08:18The cases could be identical.
08:21Like you said, this can't be a coincidence, right?
08:24Nurse Baldwin?
08:26Hello.
08:27Hey.
08:28Do you have a moment to speak?
08:29Yeah, of course.
08:31I'd prefer if we could do it in my office if you don't mind.
08:35Yeah, I'd like to be there if that's okay.
08:39It's a private hospital matter
08:42and I'd like to discuss Dex Heller and Samantha McCall and my future at GH.
08:48Yeah, I would really like Lucky to be there for support.
08:53Okay.
09:01Jocelyn and I, we were together when Dr. Gannon broke the news.
09:05How is she?
09:07She's in shock, obviously.
09:10So am I.
09:12It just doesn't seem possible.
09:14He was fine after the surgery.
09:17He was absolutely fine.
09:21I called Carly.
09:23She's not picking up.
09:26Yeah, I'll handle it.
09:28Thank you for calling me.
09:32I need you to take care of her.
09:36Thanks.
09:41I would do anything for you to wake up right now.
09:49Or for someone to wake me up and tell me that this is just a nightmare.
09:58But, God, that's not going to happen.
10:03You're gone.
10:06You're really gone.
10:09You're gone.
10:23Ned, doesn't one of your old colleagues run a communications firm?
10:30Bob Newport.
10:32How about we leak that nanny cam video to him?
10:37It would definitely go viral.
10:39And well before his swearing in.
10:41Oh, I can just see the headlines now.
10:43New York Congressman's scandalous affair with nephew's wife gets caught on camera amongst the stuffies.
10:50It writes itself.
10:51Do you two really think that I care about any of this?
10:54About you guys coming at me?
10:58You would never do any of this.
11:01Not what Edward or Lila think.
11:03Alan, you leave them out of this.
11:05You are not one of us.
11:06Never have been.
11:07Why don't you go back to being a cane?
11:10You have hidden behind this family long enough.
11:13Do you even hear yourself?
11:15Loud and clear.
11:17Okay, so what would it take for me to become a real court of Maine then?
11:21Seriously, like what is the criteria?
11:25Oh, I know.
11:28Why don't I withhold heart medication while I'm standing over my dying father?
11:35Would that do the trick?
11:42Wiley and Amelia aren't going anywhere.
11:44This is their home.
11:45And this is my family.
11:47And Michael's.
11:49What happens next isn't up to you, Carly.
11:51The children come first.
11:53Really?
11:54You weren't thinking about the children when you had your last sleepover.
11:57Enough.
11:58Classic Grandma Carly, always ruining the fun.
12:01Not at all.
12:02I love a good party.
12:03But tonight, everyone is sleeping in their own beds.
12:06I don't think so.
12:07I do.
12:10Well, look at that.
12:11Daddy's home.
12:12Hi.
12:26You look like a stranger and you at the same time.
12:36I don't know what happens when we die.
12:43Nobody does.
12:46But I can feel you here.
12:53I think you're still here because I can feel you with me.
12:56And I guess that's what that means, right?
13:00So, I'm just going to say what I would have said if I had known.
13:14If I had known that it was my last time talking to you.
13:21Thank you for saving my life.
13:25And for trusting me with your heart and changing the way that I see the world and my place in it.
13:37Which is going to change again.
13:42Because when I looked at my future, I saw you.
13:48And I saw us.
13:51Thank you for loving me.
13:57And I hope I said it often enough.
14:03But in case I wasn't clear.
14:10I love you.
14:11Daddy loves you.
14:14I love you.
14:15I love you.
14:16I love you.
14:17I love you.
14:18I love you.
14:19I love you.
14:20Dex Heller.
14:23With everything in me.
14:49I'm sorry.
15:04I'm so sorry.
15:13Why does that matter?
15:16I love you.
15:19Just so we're clear, the first priority is our patient's health and well-being.
15:24Yeah.
15:25Understood.
15:26Since both incidents happened under my watch, I know that protocol is protocol.
15:31Dex Heller's death was an unexplained heart attack.
15:35And will be added to Sam McCall's death investigation.
15:39Now, while all of that is playing out, you'll need to take a step back from patient care.
15:47What does that mean exactly?
15:49Well, you have choices.
15:51The administrative choice.
15:53Paperwork.
15:54Scheduling.
15:55Things of that nature.
15:56Or you could take the personal leave route.
16:00A break from the hospital altogether.
16:03Either way.
16:05No patient interaction.
16:07That's the criteria that I'm working with here.
16:11Only until she's cleared, though. Right?
16:13Oh, as soon as I get the green light, she's back to being our head nurse. Absolutely.
16:19But it could take some time.
16:23There are no cameras in the patient rooms.
16:25There are cameras in the hallways, but they need to go through all of the footage for both cases.
16:30Hundreds of people walk those halls, so pinpointing errors will be tough.
16:35Yeah, and it'll be time consuming.
16:39Well, if you feel wrong being away from the hospital, so I would prefer to work in any capacity I can.
16:48I was hoping you would make that choice.
16:51I'll sign the paperwork right away.
17:00I hope you don't feel like I'm prioritizing Charlotte over Rocco.
17:03I think you should be doing that. Rocco's here. He's good.
17:07With an incredible father to take care of him.
17:10And, uh, Charlotte's God knows where.
17:13Oh, with Valentin as a father.
17:18Hey, I want you to know I get it. Okay? I really do.
17:22Valentin's got to know I'm back.
17:25And he's probably pulling Charlotte deeper into hiding.
17:28Is that why you saw Hellbent yesterday and today?
17:30Yesterday and today.
17:31I felt like there was this small window where I had the element of surprise on my side.
17:38Now I feel like it's closed, and...
17:43What if I never see my daughter again?
17:50This came as soon as we heard.
17:52I just can't believe it.
17:54I know.
17:57This is my fault, you know.
17:59Why do you say that?
18:00Yeah. Yeah, it is.
18:02I convinced Dex that he should join the Force.
18:06He gave me a million and one reasons as to why he shouldn't, but I...
18:11I persisted, you know? And then he relented.
18:14Yeah.
18:16You know as well as I do that no one puts on a badge because someone forces them to do it.
18:22Yeah, and Locke is right.
18:24Dex was very proud to be a member of the PCPD.
18:28I know this because he told me.
18:32He said that?
18:34A few hours ago.
18:36How can it just be hours ago?
18:38I don't know. I mean, it doesn't seem real.
18:41No, it doesn't.
18:43It's just, it's so unfair.
18:52What are we doing here?
18:53I mean, I like this spot, you know?
18:56Good place to think.
19:00Or talk.
19:05I can't wrap my head around this happening again.
19:12You're gonna have to ask her.
19:15I've already done this.
19:17I can't do this again.
19:19I can't do this again.
19:23I hate that you have to.
19:25I mean, with Oscar, at least I got to say goodbye, you know?
19:30It was awful watching him get sicker and sicker, but I got to say everything that I wanted to say to him.
19:39With Dex, I didn't get that chance.
19:50You know, the other day, we were decorating for Christmas.
19:57Dex was there and I could tell that he was uncomfortable.
20:05How?
20:08Christmas was not a happy time for him as a kid.
20:14And I, I promised him that we'd make all these memories together.
20:22And I'm just realizing that I'm never gonna make another memory with him again.
20:43What's going on?
20:44Oh, uh, Grandma Nina and Willow were trying to take the kids to Nina's house for a sleepover.
20:49We think a sleepover with us is what's best right now.
20:53Kids need their moms.
20:54They need their dads too.
20:55I know.
20:57So maybe what's best is for you, you know, them to stay here.
21:00Michael.
21:03I know we have a lot to talk about.
21:05And we will.
21:07But tonight, I need this.
21:09Okay?
21:10And so do they.
21:13Okay.
21:19Alan was my father.
21:20I have as much right to the family name as anyone.
21:24None of this is yours.
21:25None of it.
21:26And yet you waltzed in here and set up shop like you owned it, like this was home.
21:32Ever since that day, you've done nothing, Drew, but cause chaos.
21:36Really, Ned?
21:37Nothing?
21:38Look at this mess.
21:39Hell, you just got elected to Congress and you managed to screw that up.
21:42Aw, Fred.
21:43Tale as old as time.
21:44You don't know what you're talking about.
21:45Really?
21:47You and Willow think you're so unique.
21:49That your love is so special.
21:51But you're really as common as they come.
21:55Stop, monster.
21:58You haven't changed a bit.
22:01Finally.
22:02Finally.
22:12So, uh, how you doing?
22:14Really.
22:17I'm just taking care of my patients.
22:19A lot.
22:21At least I'm still in the building.
22:24Yeah.
22:25I mean, uh, at least I didn't ban you.
22:28You know, that's something.
22:29Yeah.
22:31Thank you for being with me in Portia's office.
22:36It was comforting having a friend.
22:39Yeah.
22:40A wingman, remember?
22:42Could I forget?
22:54Have fun at Grandma Nina's.
22:56We get to go?
22:57Yeah, yeah, you get to go.
22:58Yay!
23:02Okay, you two.
23:03Say goodnight to Daddy.
23:04Night, Daddy.
23:05Night.
23:07You'll see him soon.
23:08I promise.
23:11Okay.
23:13Be good for Mommy, okay?
23:15I love you both very much, no matter where you are.
23:18Always.
23:19We know that, Daddy.
23:21Good.
23:23We should get going.
23:25Talk to you in the morning?
23:26Yeah.
23:30Okay.
23:44That was a mistake.
23:52If you need to get back to whatever this is.
23:54Oh, no, I was done with whatever this is a long time ago.
23:58Becky.
23:59So good to see you.
24:00All right, out, out, out, out.
24:02I need to catch up with my stepdaughter.
24:09All right, I'll see you around.
24:12Thanks for the ride.
24:16Well, this catch-up will be pretty one-sided.
24:19I've been asleep for four years.
24:20Not much to report from Dreamland.
24:26I'll do that.
24:29Holy.
24:34You're here.
24:36Here.
24:38And healthy and thriving and as beautiful as ever.
24:42Back at you.
24:43Look at you.
24:44What'd you do, strike a deal with Father Time?
24:47Is it working?
24:48Uh, yeah.
24:53What?
24:54What?
24:56I'm just drinking it in.
24:59I have been praying for this and as you well know, that's not something I do very often.
25:05I'm flattered.
25:06Well, my prayers were answered.
25:09You're home.
25:11And ready to make up for lost time.
25:14You bet I am.
25:25Well, good.
25:26You're still here.
25:27I live here, Ned.
25:29For now.
25:31You realize that we want the same thing, right?
25:34And annihilating me, it's not worth ruining the family name.
25:40If there comes a time where I agree that protecting you outweighs ruining the family,
25:47I'll make sure that Mother doesn't go scorched earth.
25:50Good.
25:51Because Willow and the kids could be destroyed.
25:53Oh, they already are.
25:54And whose fault is that?
26:04I really wish you hadn't done that, Mike.
26:06Yeah, I got that.
26:07Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
26:09You just gave Willow a major leg up in a custody trial.
26:12It's been a very long, exhausting day.
26:14Can you just give me a minute to process everything?
26:16Process and strategize.
26:18Process everything?
26:19Process and strategize, Michael.
26:21Because Willow is.
26:23Did she tell you she was leaving with the kids?
26:25No.
26:26She came down here because she wanted to sneak them out before you could stop her.
26:28And then you didn't stop her.
26:29Because I remember what it was like when Dad took Morgan and me away from you
26:33and how terrified we were.
26:34And I refuse to do that to Wiley and Amelia.
26:38Oh, God.
26:44I'm sorry.
26:45I'm so sorry.
26:46I know I'm pushing, but it's because I'm just fighting for you because I love you so much.
26:50I know that.
26:51Look, I have no intention of losing my kids.
26:55Okay.
26:57Okay, then how about I'm going to call Diane
27:01and I'm going to fill her in on what's going on
27:03and then she can strategize, okay?
27:05I think that's the plan here.
27:07Oh, wow.
27:08I have so many missed calls and texts.
27:13Oh, my God.
27:16What's going on?
27:20It's Dex.
27:23He's dead.
27:31None of it even makes any sense.
27:34You know, Dex was so healthy and then he just dies of a heart attack?
27:41I know.
27:42Anna said he was fine after the surgery.
27:44To the point where I was questioning if he even had the surgery.
27:47Okay, Charles.
27:48I need to know what went wrong.
27:51I will never be able to let it go if I don't.
27:55Finding out what happened may bring you peace, but...
28:00But it won't bring him back.
28:04I wish it would.
28:08Hulu, I wish your father could see you.
28:11He knew you'd make it back.
28:13Really?
28:14You bet. He would tell everybody.
28:16Oh, she's going to wake up when she's good and ready.
28:18She just doesn't like to be rushed.
28:21Oh.
28:24I'm so sorry about Dad.
28:26Thanks. Me too.
28:28Was he happy?
28:30We both were.
28:32So you were still together?
28:33Oh, going strong. Can you believe it?
28:35Who'd have thunk it?
28:36Me?
28:38He loved you so much.
28:40I miss him like crazy.
28:42But that's the familiar part, you know?
28:43There were plenty of times when Dad wasn't around.
28:46Yeah, but...
28:48the hard part is there's no next time.
28:51It hurts so much I can barely breathe.
28:55I know the feeling.
28:59I want to thank him for everything he passed down to me.
29:02His grit and determination.
29:05His resourcefulness.
29:06His sense of humor.
29:07Mm-hmm.
29:08Dad gave me so many things.
29:12The best of all, he gave me you.
29:15Your dad is what binds us together.
29:20And that's what makes our relationship so special now.
29:24Okay, enough. Let's talk about you.
29:27Tell me how you're handling everything.
29:32To be honest,
29:33Lulu, I would expect nothing less.
29:39It's been really hard.
29:49Hey, uh, have you seen Sasha?
29:51No, not recently.
29:55Okay, how come?
29:56I don't know.
29:57Have you seen Sasha?
29:58No, not recently.
30:02Okay, how come?
30:04How are you doing? Are you okay?
30:07Oh, no, not great. Willow took the kids.
30:10To go where?
30:12They're staying at Ina's until, uh...
30:15Until when?
30:16I don't know. I don't know when.
30:17Until we figure out what we're doing, you know, what comes next.
30:21Look, I know they say it takes two to tangle, and of course they're right.
30:26But make no mistake, Willow is not the enemy here. Drew is.
30:31Oh, I'm very clear on that. Trust me.
30:34You and I have had our issues lately, but I want you to know right now you have my full support.
30:39Alright? Anything you need, just say the word.
30:44Drew didn't just betray you, Michael. He betrayed all of us.
30:49And he will live to regret it.
31:14Come on, Willow. Pick up.
31:24Do not answer that.
31:26Drew has made your life a living nightmare, putting his needs first and ignoring everyone else's.
31:40Willow, I can't even imagine how overwhelming this must be for you.
31:44Apparently a lot goes down in four years.
31:46And you have to accept the fact that you missed a lot. Do you want my advice?
31:51I don't know. Do I?
31:53Just focus on the present. You're here.
31:57And you're surrounded by everyone you love, especially your son.
32:02Oh, I couldn't believe it. I walked in here, I'm looking for you, and then I come face to face with this handsome young man.
32:09Barely a glimmer of the little boy I remember.
32:12He's in there.
32:14I know he is.
32:16I can see it. I just have a lot of catching up to do.
32:20Has it been wonderful reconnecting with Rocco?
32:24Everything I'd hoped for. He's so excited to fill me in, so he talks a mile a minute. I love it.
32:33But I want those moments with Charlotte too.
32:37Of course you do.
32:39I need to find her, Tracy.
32:41Well, you have all of my resources at your disposal, but you need to make me one promise.
32:46Do not go rogue like your father would.
32:50Be smarter.
32:52Now Dad's rolling over in his grave, no one's smarter than Luke Spencer.
32:57Promise me.
33:00I promise.
33:09I know that getting answers isn't going to bring Dex back.
33:14But you want him anyway.
33:16I owe it to him. He saved my life.
33:20Then I owe him too.
33:22He was an amazing, selfless person.
33:27How does a person like that get taken so soon?
33:33Just...
33:41Oh, I'm sorry.
33:43I'm so, so sorry.
33:46I don't want him to be gone.
33:48I know, baby, I know.
33:59Crime taking place at Rice Plaza.
34:03It just doesn't make sense. I mean, at the docks or the warehouse, at night, sure.
34:08But broad daylight at a Christmas festival, it doesn't add up.
34:11No.
34:13Could you take me through it one more time? Do you mind?
34:17Dex was off by the garbage cans, pouring out the college kid's alcohol.
34:23Alone?
34:25Completely.
34:27That would imply he was the intended target.
34:30After the surgery, he was fine.
34:33Yeah. Yeah, he was fine.
34:35I was sitting with him, watching part of the PCU game.
34:39There was nothing to indicate that there was anything wrong.
34:43It's possible whoever stabbed Dex tracked him to the hospital to finish what they started.
34:49Does anything stick out to you? You know, that happened?
34:52Anything at all?
34:54Well, there's something that's been nagging at me.
34:57It's a missing detail.
35:00I just, I can't put my finger on it.
35:04I'm sure it'll come to you.
35:06I hope so.
35:07I hope so.
35:09My heart breaks for Sam's and Dex's loved ones.
35:13Yeah, mine too.
35:15I mean, a hospital should be a place where people go to to feel safe and taken care of.
35:22Yes, we lose people, but not like this.
35:26This feels...
35:28Deliberate?
35:30Incredibly creepy.
35:31Something's going on at GH, and I just hope they can figure it out before someone else gets hurt.
