00:00I am so happy to see you.
00:02Oh my gosh, I was so worried.
00:05Tell me, honey, how are you feeling?
00:08How are you feeling?
00:09Right at this moment?
00:11Relieved, happy.
00:14That's how I felt when I held Charlotte.
00:16I had my daughter in my arms, Mom.
00:19And then I lost her because of Dante.
00:23Jess, I'm just checking to see how Michael's doing.
00:28And you.
00:31I love you.
00:32Call me.
00:34Come on, now.
00:35I want to get a prime spot.
00:36Oh, Anstella, I don't think I'm up for yoga today.
00:38I got a ton of things to finish up at the gallery.
00:42You need focus and peace.
00:44Plus, you're going to love Ashanti.
00:46Ashanti?
00:47Who the heck is Ashanti?
00:48Only the best yoga instructor in Port Charles.
00:52Anstella, you were late.
00:54We missed you in class.
00:58The gates are secure.
00:59The cameras are clear of all obstructions.
01:01No one's getting on this property without permission.
01:03Good.
01:03We will be able to protect Michael's children
01:05from Willow and her lawyer.
01:07Michael's never been one of my favorites, but he's family.
01:11And poor remains protect their own.
01:14If you like, I can discuss Michael's status
01:17with all of you.
01:18You can speak directly to me about Michael's care.
01:22I'm his wife.
01:23Really?
01:24Did the divorce papers get lost in transit?
01:26I care about Michael, Carly.
01:27No, Willow, we care about Michael.
01:29We're his family.
01:30Is there a place that Willow could speak with the medical
01:32staff in private, maybe?
01:33You got anything to say about my son,
01:36you can say it in front of me and his mother.
01:38Let's go.
01:58Check the leads.
02:03Page Dr. Gamet and Dr. Jones.
02:08♪♪♪
02:18♪♪♪
02:28You two know each other?
02:30Uh, you are looking at mats one and two
02:32of the front row of Ashanti's early morning class.
02:35Mm-hmm. She gives me advice on my plank.
02:37Yes.
02:38My Aunt Stella.
02:39Yes.
02:40Oh, it's coming together now.
02:41The firecracker niece you've been bragging about.
02:44Ah, great niece.
02:45Though I didn't know you two had met.
02:48Yeah, Kai and I are in the same art history class.
02:50Yeah.
02:51I see.
02:52Small world.
02:53No, I thought I'd give yoga a try for flexibility.
02:56And Stella usually comes to the earlier class.
02:58That's how we met.
02:59I couldn't hold a plank for a full two minutes,
03:01and I was about to give up until Stella convinced me
03:03I could do it.
03:04More like dared me.
03:05Oh, yeah.
03:06I kind of got the feeling that he was not one
03:08to back down from a challenge.
03:10No kidding.
03:11Okay, well, come on.
03:12Let's get a move on.
03:13Let's see how well you plank.
03:15Yeah.
03:16I dare you.
03:22Okay, well, good luck.
03:31She's beautiful, Mom.
03:33And so grown up, but still a teenager,
03:36and she asked me for advice on how to wear her hair.
03:40Oh, that had to be a wonderful moment.
03:44It was.
03:45Yeah.
03:46Charlotte was hesitant, but not guarded,
03:49and I felt like we were connecting like we never had.
03:53And then Valentine showed up, and then Dante showed up,
03:56and all hell broke loose.
03:58I am just so glad that you and Charlotte weren't hurt.
04:02How's Rocco taking it?
04:04He's the one that told you and Dante, isn't he?
04:07He didn't want to give up the secret.
04:09He really didn't.
04:10But he saw how worried we were when we couldn't find you,
04:13and then that made him worried.
04:15I never should have put him in that situation.
04:18It's just...
04:19when I heard Charlotte's voice, something took over.
04:23I...
04:24I knew I had to find her.
04:26I didn't even want to hang up.
04:28That phone connection was all I had,
04:30and I promised her that I would come alone,
04:32that I just wanted to see her again
04:34and hold her in my arms.
04:36And I'm sure you had plans
04:37to try to talk her into coming home with you.
04:40I... I'd hoped to get through to her.
04:42The thought of her being out there
04:44alone with Valentine is terrifying.
04:46I know.
04:47I completely understand, Lulu.
04:49Dante doesn't.
04:50He thinks I was reckless.
04:52And what's worse, he made me a liar in Charlotte's eyes.
04:56She trusted me, Mom.
04:58And then when Dante showed up,
05:00Valentine thought it was an ambush,
05:02and like I said before,
05:04everything went downhill from there.
05:06I'm so sorry it happened like that.
05:09But I have to be honest with you.
05:11I think Dante did the right thing by going after you.
05:15Thank you for the security update.
05:18Sure.
05:19I was glad to help.
05:23Something on your mind?
05:25Yeah.
05:26But maybe this isn't the right time.
05:29Oh, please.
05:31Perfect time.
05:32I could use the diversion.
05:34Okay, uh, well,
05:35it's about the 50 grand I got from Drew.
05:37You remember how you said
05:38you were gonna help me invest it?
05:40Yep.
05:41Well, um, I've been reading
05:42about this new crypto company
05:43that's about to go public, and...
05:45Let me stop you right there.
05:46It's a Ponzi scheme.
05:47You are guaranteed to lose your money.
05:50No, no, no.
05:51I've read a lot of people
05:52are really hopeful about it,
05:53like money people.
05:54Uh-huh.
05:55Well, I have a better use for that 50 grand.
05:58Set it on fire.
05:59It'll keep you warm
06:00for a couple of minutes.
06:01If you invest in that company,
06:04that money will be gone
06:06without a trace.
06:10Lucas, I heard about Michael.
06:11How's he doing?
06:12He's in the burn unit.
06:14He's got a long road ahead of him.
06:16I'm really sorry.
06:18Do you know if Wiley's okay?
06:21If that was insensitive,
06:23I apologize.
06:24No, I know you ask
06:25because you care.
06:26Um, I hesitated
06:28because I'm not entirely sure
06:30how to answer.
06:31What do you mean?
06:32Before he was hospitalized,
06:34Michael and Willow separated.
06:36But they were, like,
06:37the perfect couple.
06:38Yeah, well,
06:39appearances can be deceiving.
06:41Especially with Willow.
06:43Willow?
06:44What'd she do?
06:45Suffice it to say,
06:46Michael is not at fault
06:48in this situation.
06:49That's it?
06:50You can't share anything else?
06:52That's not her place.
06:53But I am worried
06:55about Wiley and his little sister.
06:57I don't want them
06:58caught in the middle.
06:59Why are you doing this?
07:01Why are you trying
07:02to keep us away from Michael?
07:03No, she's not trying
07:04to keep you away from your son,
07:05are you, Willow?
07:06If Willow chooses
07:07not to allow you
07:08to have access to Michael
07:09or to make decisions
07:10about his care,
07:11there's nothing
07:12that you can do about it.
07:13Nothing?
07:14You want to test that out?
07:15Everyone, please.
07:16None of this is helping
07:17Michael right now.
07:18Like Dr. Robinson suggested,
07:20we can update you all
07:21on the progress
07:22and the next steps.
07:23No.
07:24Willow, listen.
07:25I don't think
07:26this is the best approach.
07:27You got to think
07:28about Wiley and Amelia.
07:30Dr. Robinson,
07:32I am enacting my rights
07:34as Michael's next of kin.
07:35Wow, you have
07:36the legal jargon down,
07:37don't you?
07:38Okay.
07:39Willow and Michael
07:40are separated.
07:41Willow's the one
07:42who filed, actually,
07:43and then Michael
07:44filed for divorce.
07:45Michael would not want Willow
07:46making any medical decisions
07:47for him.
07:48Legally, Willow has authority
07:50over Michael.
07:51Look who's talking.
07:52The uncle who screwed
07:53his nephew's wife.
07:54That's right.
07:55Okay, clearly,
07:56this is a family matter.
07:57Our only concern is Michael.
07:59And technically,
08:01Willow is right.
08:02She is the one
08:03that Michael gave
08:04his proxy to,
08:05which gives her legal right
08:06to make decisions
08:07on Michael's care.
08:10All right, well,
08:11cards on the table.
08:12What do you want?
08:14You give Willow her kids back.
08:17You return them.
08:18And then, of course,
08:19you have access to Michael.
08:21Okay.
08:24You want your money
08:25to make money,
08:26which is why
08:27you pick wisely.
08:28And in a few years,
08:29you could double,
08:30maybe triple
08:31your investment.
08:33Well, I appreciate
08:34your advice,
08:35but your timeline
08:36doesn't really work for me.
08:37I spoke to the realtor
08:38yesterday.
08:39There's an offer
08:40on the table for Serenity.
08:41Some developer
08:42who's gonna chop up
08:43the land into two-acre lots.
08:44They're gonna ruin everything.
08:45And they're close to a deal,
08:46so if I don't cough up
08:47an offer,
08:48I'm gonna lose
08:49Serenity for good.
08:50The broker
08:51is manipulating you.
08:52He wants you to believe
08:53that there is
08:54a bidding war.
08:55Call his bluff.
08:56Yeah, well,
08:57what if he's not bluffing?
08:58Then you'll move on
08:59and you'll be patient
09:00and wait for
09:01the right opportunity.
09:02That's easy
09:03for you to say.
09:08I knew what I was
09:09getting myself into
09:10when I went to Prague.
09:12Sweetheart,
09:13your mind
09:14and your spirit
09:16are very strong,
09:17but your body
09:18is still recovering
09:19from a major surgery.
09:21I had my medication
09:22with me.
09:23I couldn't risk
09:24my only lead
09:25on Charlotte going cold
09:26not after missing
09:27the last four years
09:28of her life.
09:29You know what?
09:30I've been where you are.
09:31I have woken up
09:32to a life
09:33that moved on
09:34without me,
09:35and I know
09:36your instinct
09:37is to pick up
09:38right where you left off,
09:39but the problem is
09:40that you're the only one
09:41who's picking it up
09:42from the past.
09:43A lot changed
09:45while you were under...
09:47I forgot to say,
09:48Valentin is...
09:49He's actually
09:50a fugitive now.
09:51He's dangerous.
09:52He's unpredictable.
09:53But I repeat,
09:54I was fine
09:55until Dante showed up.
09:56Have you thought about
09:57what might have happened
09:58if that sniper
10:00had actually
10:01shot Valentin?
10:02How would you
10:03have handled
10:04Charlotte then
10:05if she had witnessed
10:06her father
10:07being killed
10:08right in front of her?
10:09You know,
10:10she's just
10:11as headstrong
10:12as you are.
10:14But that didn't happen,
10:15so there's no need
10:16in speculating.
10:18Okay.
10:20My point is, Leslie Lou,
10:21that you were in
10:22over your head,
10:23and I know you don't
10:24want to admit that.
10:25So listen to me now.
10:26The next time this happens,
10:27and I believe
10:28that there will be
10:29a next time,
10:30I want you
10:31to ask for help.
10:34There are so many people
10:35who love you
10:37and so many people
10:38who fought
10:39to bring you back.
10:41I know how much
10:42I owe those people.
10:45Especially Sam.
10:46Dante told me
10:47I wasn't honoring
10:49her sacrifice.
10:52That it was unfair
10:53of me to take risks
10:55to find Charlotte,
10:56that...
10:57that I was being selfish.
10:59Sweetheart, listen to me.
11:00Dante is hurting.
11:02He is grieving
11:03the loss of Sam.
11:04But am I wrong
11:05to think that Sam
11:06would support what I did?
11:07She was a mother, too.
11:09You're probably
11:10not wrong at all.
11:11I mean, if she were
11:12given the same
11:13set of circumstances,
11:14she probably
11:15would have done
11:16exactly the same thing.
11:19Because mothers
11:20will do anything
11:21for their children.
11:24Clearly a conversation
11:25needs to happen
11:26between the family.
11:27I say so.
11:28And I think you need
11:29to remember that you're
11:30trying to decide
11:31what's in Michael's
11:32best interest here.
11:33That's the only thing
11:34that matters.
11:35Excuse me.
11:37I can't believe
11:38you're resorting
11:39to blackmail.
11:40You're the ones
11:41that made it ugly
11:42by taking kids
11:43away from their mother.
11:44How will kids
11:45grow up?
11:46And that's when
11:47you have to answer
11:48for the choices
11:49that you've made.
11:50So how are you
11:51going to explain it
11:52to Wylie and Amelia
11:53that you won't let us
11:54see their father?
11:55Drew,
11:56maybe this is going too far.
11:57We're just following
11:58the law here, Willow.
11:59We?
12:00We?
12:01We?
12:02You are inserting yourself
12:03in Willow's marriage again.
12:04If you don't want
12:05this to escalate,
12:06take your sorry...
12:07Sunny, Sunny.
12:09Can we talk?
12:10Oh, great.
12:11No, come on.
12:12Things get worse.
12:16All right.
12:18I'll be right back.
12:19Come on.
12:22All right, let's get out of here.
12:25Willow!
12:26If the situation
12:27was reversed,
12:28Michael would never
12:29do this to you.
12:30Not in a million years.
12:33Did you ever
12:34really love my son?
12:35Did you?
12:36He's having runs of V-Tech.
12:37He's heading into
12:38full cardiac arrest.
12:39We have to do something
12:40before we have a shock.
12:41Let's get him
12:42on a lidocaine drip.
12:43Yes, Doctor.
12:44Nicole,
12:45I just hope it's enough.
12:50Sunny,
12:51I'd like to start by saying
12:52that I understand
12:53what you're going through.
12:54To have a child
12:55in a life-threatening situation
12:58is the worst.
13:00Let's forget all that.
13:02I'm sorry.
13:03Nothing you say
13:04or anyone says
13:05is going to excuse
13:07what Willow and Drew
13:08are doing in there.
13:09I'm not here
13:10to defend either one of them.
13:11Okay, but she's your daughter.
13:13Can you at least
13:14talk some sense into her?
13:15I'm here to talk
13:17on Wiley and Amelia's behalf.
13:21These children don't even know
13:22what their father
13:23is up against right now.
13:26They don't know
13:27when he will be home.
13:29They don't know
13:30when he will be home.
13:33You don't think I know that?
13:34Like it or not,
13:35someone is going to have
13:36to explain and prepare
13:37these children.
13:39And they're going to be
13:40scared, Sunny.
13:41And they're going to be
13:42devastated.
13:43And they are going to need
13:44the one parent
13:45that they have right now.
13:50Their mother.
13:52I wouldn't have married Michael
13:54if I didn't love him.
13:56Willow's not doing this
13:57out of spite.
13:58Can you please go away?
14:00I'd like to talk to Willow.
14:01You don't have
14:02to listen to her.
14:03It's fine.
14:04I want to hear
14:05what Carly has to say.
14:08People make mistakes, Willow.
14:09I know I have.
14:11More than I can count.
14:13But I'm telling you,
14:14sincerely,
14:15you do not want
14:16to go down this road.
14:17People are going
14:18to get hurt.
14:20You know me.
14:21And you know I love my son.
14:23And you know how hard
14:24I fought for you
14:25and your family.
14:26So I am begging you
14:27to think twice
14:28before you decide
14:29what you do next.
14:33Maybe I should
14:34think about this more.
14:37Carly is trying
14:38to emotionally manipulate
14:39you, Willow.
14:41Don't let her.
14:45Brad.
14:46I've been looking for you.
14:48I've already booked
14:49my trip to Miami
14:50with a travel agency.
14:51Just use it.
14:52No, it's fine.
14:53This is far more important.
14:55What do you want to
14:56blame me for now?
14:58Well, um,
15:00for once,
15:01your talent
15:02for bending the rules
15:04might be exactly
15:05what I need.
15:07I need you to do
15:08a search
15:09for every patient
15:10that's had a cardiac incident
15:11in the past three months.
15:13That is an extensive search.
15:15Are there any parameters?
15:17Yes.
15:18I want you to look
15:19for digitalis
15:20in their system.
15:21And then I want you
15:22to see if that patient
15:23had been prescribed
15:24that medication.
15:26Why am I looking for that?
15:27Brad, against my
15:28better judgment,
15:29I am trusting you
15:31with this.
15:32Am I gonna regret it?
15:34No.
15:35Please continue,
15:36Dr. Robinson.
15:37This sounds important.
15:39There have been
15:40two deaths recently
15:42due to an overdose
15:43of digitalis.
15:45Maybe even a third
15:46were waiting on the autopsy
15:47to come back.
15:49And I want you to see
15:50if there are more.
15:52If there's maybe been
15:53something somehow
15:54that we have
15:56overlooked
15:57that's gone unnoticed.
15:58If there are people
15:59dying mysteriously
16:00in this hospital,
16:01I want to help.
16:03I'll do it.
16:06Now report those results
16:07directly to me.
16:08I don't want legal
16:09to get wind of this,
16:10at least not yet.
16:12You can count on me.
16:17Hey, so
16:18how did you like Ashanti?
16:21Pretty cool for a torture.
16:23Stella held her plank
16:2420 seconds longer
16:25than I could.
16:26I nearly broke my arms
16:27trying to keep up with her.
16:28Okay, we'll have some
16:29electrolyte water.
16:30I got an extra bottle.
16:31Oh, thanks.
16:33So is she gonna
16:34keep at this
16:35or is this like
16:36a one and done?
16:37Oh, look,
16:38I don't back away
16:39from a challenge either.
16:40Okay, whoa,
16:41like aunt like niece.
16:42I'm scared of you.
16:46Hey, Kai Taylor.
16:49PCU Tigers, QB1?
16:51Yeah.
16:55You made quite a show
16:56of opening the gate for me,
16:58tightening security.
17:00Oh, yeah, that.
17:01Well, hopefully it's just
17:02short-term.
17:03I'll pour.
17:04Oh, no, no, no,
17:05never mind that.
17:06I bought smoothies.
17:09Are those
17:10those frozen green things?
17:13Yeah.
17:14I'll pass.
17:16Don't kill my wellness buzz.
17:18I just came from yoga
17:19with Trina.
17:21You know, you should join me.
17:23Try it next time.
17:25Yeah, sure.
17:26Well, my body and soul
17:27and mind are doing
17:28just fine
17:30without being forced
17:31into undignified
17:32positions in public.
17:34Besides, spending time
17:35with a friend
17:36is wellness enough.
17:38Heard about Michael
17:39at the hospital.
17:40I'm so sorry.
17:42He's getting the best
17:43possible care.
17:45I know.
17:47It's just so distressing.
17:49How's the family coping?
17:52Well, ever since
17:53Monica had that
17:55fall last year,
17:56she's had
17:57so many health problems.
17:58And with
18:00Michael's injury
18:01and Drew's betrayal,
18:02she
18:03she won't leave her room.
18:07And this house
18:08has been taken over
18:09by a small army
18:11of children.
18:12And you know what's worse
18:13than the under-10s?
18:14The teenagers.
18:17Oh, I'm sorry.
18:19I'm sorry.
18:20It must be
18:21hard for you to hear
18:22the sound of children.
18:25About what you asked
18:26earlier,
18:28I don't know
18:30what I would have done
18:31if Valentin had been
18:32shot
18:33in front of us.
18:35And I understand
18:36the depth of love
18:37Charlotte has
18:38for her father,
18:39but what am I
18:40supposed to do?
18:41Except the fact
18:42that she wants
18:43to stay with him
18:44even though
18:45he's a moving target?
18:47Knowing my daughter
18:48is in danger
18:49is killing me.
18:51Well, honey,
18:52I do believe
18:53that Valentin
18:54will have some place
18:55to take refuge.
18:56I'm sure of that.
18:57I'm sure he and Charlotte
18:58are safe right now.
18:59Even if she's
19:00physically safe,
19:01it's
19:02it's not a stable life.
19:04She doesn't have
19:05friends.
19:06She doesn't have school.
19:07She doesn't have me.
19:09Charlotte is staying
19:10with Valentin
19:11because he has no one else,
19:12which is
19:13completely unfair.
19:14You're absolutely right.
19:16She should not
19:17have to feel like
19:18she's taking care
19:19of her father.
19:20It should be
19:21the other way around.
19:22Valentin didn't do
19:23a good job
19:24caring for Charlotte
19:25when she was
19:26in Port Charles.
19:27Mom,
19:28when were you
19:29going to tell me
19:30Anna Devane
19:31shot my daughter?
19:34Trina, how you doing?
19:35I'm doing good.
19:36How are you?
19:37Good.
19:38So you follow college ball?
19:39I mean,
19:40once PCU started
19:41making it interesting,
19:42I gotta say,
19:43I'm liking what I'm seeing.
19:44Thanks.
19:45We have a great team.
19:46Yeah, I just started
19:47playing football,
19:48and I'm starting
19:49to like it more and more.
19:50Yeah?
19:51Well, I'm a long-time fan.
19:52Gotta say, though,
19:53you guys got your work
19:54cut out for you.
19:55Going up against
19:56an SEC team
19:57for the Winter Bowl?
19:58How you feeling about the game?
19:59Yeah, well, I know
20:00they're predicting
20:01a blowout
20:02for the other Tigers,
20:03but it'll be
20:04a closer game
20:05than people think.
20:06Yeah?
20:07Huh.
20:08Well, I'll definitely
20:09be watching,
20:10along with everyone
20:11else in Port Charles.
20:12Good luck, man.
20:13Have a good one, Trina.
20:14You too.
20:15So you're going
20:16to finish that or what?
20:17Are you not nervous
20:18about the game or what?
20:19Well, the worst thing
20:20I could do
20:21is wind myself up, right?
20:22I mean, I gotta be focused
20:24and be thoroughly prepared,
20:25and when I step out
20:26on the field,
20:27I just gotta get out
20:28of my own head
20:29and do my thing.
20:30Okay.
20:31But once the game is over,
20:32and especially if we win,
20:34I have to decide
20:35whether I'm coming
20:36back to school.
20:39I was waiting
20:40for the right moment
20:41to tell you
20:42about the shooting.
20:43You know,
20:44you had just woken up
20:45and you were being hit
20:46by so many different things,
20:47I didn't want
20:48to overwhelm you.
20:50Anyway, the fact is,
20:51it was,
20:52it was just
20:53a horrible accident.
20:55Really,
20:56Anna feels guilty about it
20:58to this day.
21:00Valentin told me
21:01that Charlotte
21:02was manipulated
21:03by Victor Cassadine.
21:05Yes.
21:06Yes, at this time,
21:08actually,
21:09it was Charlotte
21:10who was harassing Anna,
21:11and she,
21:13she broke into
21:14her apartment,
21:15and it was dark,
21:18and...
21:19Valentin told me
21:20that Anna
21:22shot Charlotte on accident.
21:24Maybe there's
21:25a lesson there
21:27about how good intentions
21:29can turn into
21:30bad outcomes
21:32in ways
21:33you never intended.
21:36What does that mean?
21:40Leslie Lou.
21:41Leslie Lou.
21:47Did something else
21:48happen in Prague
21:49that you should tell me about?
21:51Dante thinks
21:54I led the shooter
21:55to Valentin
21:56and Charlotte,
21:58that I was followed,
22:00and I think he's right.
22:02I so would have loved
22:03to hear little Irene's laugh.
22:06It was a terrible loss.
22:09And I have to admit,
22:11I have only just
22:13been able to go
22:14to that fourth floor again.
22:16The nursery?
22:17Yeah.
22:18The sight of a child
22:19made me want to weep.
22:21I had to stay strong.
22:22I had to remain strong
22:23for my family,
22:24and I still do.
22:27Especially now that
22:29TJ and Molly
22:30have separated.
22:31Oh, no.
22:32I didn't know that.
22:34I'm so sorry.
22:35Yeah.
22:36Sometimes
22:38grief brings you together,
22:39and sometimes
22:40it tears you apart.
22:42How are you?
22:45I went to the nursery
22:46the other day,
22:48and I came across
22:50this gorgeous baby girl
22:53who looked like
22:54what I imagined
22:55Irene would have looked like.
22:57I had to help the father,
22:59you know,
23:00support the baby's head.
23:01You know, men don't ever
23:02know how to do that.
23:03No.
23:04For mothers,
23:05it's second nature
23:06and common sense.
23:07Well,
23:08while the child
23:09was in my arms,
23:11she opened her eyes
23:12and looked at me.
23:15And I swear,
23:16it was like
23:17she looked into my soul.
23:20And there I was
23:21holding her and her life
23:23filled with potential
23:25in my arms.
23:29The life
23:31little Irene should have had.
23:34I was done with the daddy.
23:37Girl, I went out
23:38and cried like a baby.
23:41So how I'm dealing with things
23:43is a day-to-day thing, Tracy.
23:46But as bittersweet as it was,
23:48that whole experience
23:50was a healing moment.
23:52Stella, I admire your strength.
23:54Back at you.
23:57Yeah, but even the
23:58strongest person
24:01can break.
24:03I'm seeing that
24:04right here in this house.
24:06The lidocaine drip
24:07isn't working.
24:08There's something else
24:09we could try.
24:12Give me 20 vials
24:13of the Jaxin Immunetab stat.
24:14Right away, doctor.
24:16That's an antidote
24:17for digitalis.
24:18It is.
24:19What if we get it wrong?
24:20Michael will die either way.
24:21If the medication
24:22doesn't work
24:23or if we do nothing,
24:24he'll crash.
24:25I choose to do something.
24:27How about you?
24:28We need to get him
24:29off these IVs.
24:31However disappointed
24:32you are in Willa,
24:33you cannot believe
24:34that she isn't a good mother
24:35to those kids.
24:36They adore her.
24:38And they are
24:39and will always be
24:40her priority.
24:41What do you expect us to do?
24:43Roll over and let her
24:44steal Michael's children
24:46while he fights for his life?
24:48I just want you to focus
24:49on Wylie and Amelia
24:51as well as Michael.
24:53Give them back to Willow
24:55so they can find comfort
24:57with their mother.
24:58And you and Carly can do
25:00what Michael needs
25:02to get better.
25:03Get Michael better
25:04so he can be a father again
25:06to Wylie and Amelia.
25:10Don't waste precious time
25:12on this silly fight.
25:16There's a very simple
25:17solution here, Carly.
25:19Let Wylie and Amelia
25:21go back with Willow,
25:22with their mother
25:23where they belong.
25:24The kids will be with their mom
25:25and then you guys
25:26will have access to Michael.
25:28Oh my God.
25:29How did I not see this?
25:31See what?
25:32You knew how Sonny and I
25:33would react to blackmail.
25:35Just like you know
25:36how Michael's gonna react
25:37when he learns what you
25:38and Willow are trying to pull.
25:41Drew is the one pushing this
25:43to the point of no return.
25:45So you'll have no one
25:46to turn to but him.
25:52We need to change out
25:53all the IV bags and lines
25:54but don't throw them away.
25:56We need to get them
25:57to the lab for analysis.
25:59Got it.
26:01Come on, come on.
26:03Come on.
26:07Ah!
26:08Oh!
26:09Cody!
26:10This is a hospital.
26:11You can't just sneak up
26:12on someone like that.
26:13Well, I looked for you
26:14in your lab
26:15and I couldn't find you there.
26:16How you doing?
26:17It's been a while.
26:18Yeah, it's been a minute.
26:20What do you want?
26:22I need to talk to you.
26:23I need to talk to you.
26:24I need to talk to you.
26:25I need to talk to you.
26:26I need to talk to you.
26:27I need to talk to you.
26:28I need to talk to you.
26:29I want you to connect me
26:30I want you to connect me
26:31I want you to connect me
26:32with your aunt.
26:34Yeah, well, I
26:35no longer work
26:36for my aunt, Selena.
26:37As you can see,
26:38I work here
26:39so I'm going to get back to it
26:41so as to not jeopardize
26:42my respectable employment.
26:44I have to place a bet
26:45with your aunt.
26:46She's not returning my calls
26:47so you need to call her and
26:48let her know that
26:49Cody Bell has a truckload of cash
26:51and he's ready to ride.
26:53What's the bet?
26:54That's a sure thing.
26:57If I enter the NFL draft
26:58draft this year, I won't be graduating college.
27:01But isn't that your dream?
27:02To be in the NFL?
27:04I mean, yeah.
27:05I wanted to be quarterback since I was eight.
27:07It's all I'd ever say when anyone would ask
27:09what I wanted to be when I grew up.
27:11And now you're starting to have second thoughts.
27:12Not about playing QB.
27:14Okay, but I don't have to enter the draft this year.
27:17But I can wait and play my senior year with PCU.
27:20I can finish my education and get another year with the team.
27:23Well, is that something that you want?
27:25Yeah, I do.
27:26Like, I have really bonded with this team.
27:28We have a great team.
27:29Most of them are returning,
27:30and I believe we'll be even better next year.
27:32And this will also give me a chance
27:34to focus on my academics for once.
27:36You know, I never would have guessed,
27:37but I actually enjoy art history.
27:40Maybe not enough to major in it,
27:41but I mean, there are other courses I want to take.
27:44Well, in that case,
27:45why don't you just wait for the draft?
27:49Well, because...
27:51Every time you play, you risk getting injured.
27:55And I'm thinking about this one QB in particular.
27:58He could have entered the draft as a junior,
28:00but he decided to stay with the school.
28:02And in the last regular season game of his senior year,
28:05he had a career-ending injury.
28:07Right, so there's no NFL glory,
28:09no NFL paycheck for him.
28:11If I don't enter the draft this year,
28:13there is no guarantee I'll ever get another chance.
28:16I'm worried about Monica.
28:18She's suffered so much loss in her life,
28:20her husband, her kids.
28:21If we lose Michael, I don't know if she will recover.
28:25I know she's had health issues.
28:27It's more than that.
28:30Monica and I have been at odds with each other for decades.
28:33I thought my brother was an idiot for marrying her.
28:36I was wrong.
28:37And I thought he was an idiot for giving her this house.
28:41I stand by that judgment.
28:44Well, see, I'm not gonna lie.
28:47Well, it seems to me that Monica's been pretty generous
28:50in sharing the house with you.
28:52Well, that depends on her mood.
28:53I have lost track of the number of times
28:55she has thrown me out, and that's just it.
28:58I see her losing that spark, that feistiness.
29:03My favorite sparring partner is dimmed.
29:07Stella, I miss her.
29:09And you care about her in spite of your differences.
29:12She is what holds this family together.
29:19I don't know what we'll do if she can't keep us together.
29:23I do.
29:25They'll have you, Tracy.
29:28All right, this is always gonna go down.
29:30Wylie and Amelia are gonna go to Nina's,
29:36and they're gonna be in Willow's care.
29:38Sonny.
29:39And the only reason that we're doing this
29:42is because we have to focus on our son,
29:45and you need to focus on your children.
29:48Make sure they're safe and loved.
29:51I will.
29:51And I want you to make sure you let Amelia and Wylie know
29:59that their father is coming home, and he loves them.
30:04Of course, I will tell them.
30:06Thank you, Sonny.
30:07You don't have to thank me.
30:08Just make sure that we wanna know
30:11everything that's going on.
30:13And I mean everything with Michael.
30:17As long as you understand
30:17that Willow's gonna be making the decisions about his care,
30:20you'll know everything.
30:20No one's asking you.
30:23Willow, I have to believe that no matter what went wrong
30:26between you and Michael,
30:28that you would never do anything
30:29that wasn't in his best interest.
30:31Of course I won't.
30:33Michael would always take care of you.
30:35Always.
30:37It's time to do right by him.
30:40Come on, let's go.
30:52Normal rhythm.
30:53Your treatment worked.
30:54Now I can admit it.
30:56I was holding my breath the whole time.
30:58Digitals is nowhere on his list of medications.
31:01Nope.
31:03I need labs on those IVs and lines.
31:05I'll go see what I can find out.
31:10We have to document it,
31:12but I already know what they're gonna find.
31:14Someone came in here and tried to OD him.
31:16Just like Sam.
31:20All right, so go ahead and say it.
31:22Okay, school is important
31:23and I will regret it later if I don't finish.
31:25I mean, you're the only one who can decide that.
31:28Yeah, but I wanna hear what you think.
31:30I think that you have a really good grasp on the situation
31:34and whether you stay at PCU or go into the draft,
31:38either way it's a risk
31:39and it's a risk that you have to choose.
31:42But whatever you choose, I'm pretty sure you'll be great.
31:48PCU is a 14 and a half point underdog.
31:51Their QB says it's gonna be closer than that.
31:53All I have to do is cover.
31:54You've obviously done your homework,
31:56but you're still asking me to broker a transaction
31:59with my criminal aunt who I've so delicately
32:02tried to extricate myself from.
32:06What's in it for me?
32:07I'll cut you in for 10% of the action.
32:11Not no cheap date.
32:1220.
32:1315.
32:14Deal.
32:18The shot came about five minutes after he got to the cafe.
32:23There wasn't time for a sniper to tail him
32:26and find a place to take the shot,
32:29which means it was me.
32:31I led the shooter to Valentine,
32:33so I also led them to Charlotte.
32:40Come on now.
32:42So this means that you have to be more careful next time.
32:47Okay?
32:48For Charlotte and also for Rocco
32:51because your kids need you alive and well.
32:54Believe me, Dante has guilted me enough about Rocco.
32:58I am sure that Dante could have been more tactful,
33:01but I think that he's probably just trying
33:03to get through to you and so am I
33:06because I know you.
33:07I know my very headstrong daughter
33:09and I want you to ask for help next time, please,
33:13because I can't lose you again.
33:21And I can't lose Charlotte.
33:23You won't.
33:25You found her once.
33:27And I will help you to find her again.
33:31Okay.
33:36Well, thank you for the vote of confidence,
33:38but I am hardly the glue that keeps this family together.
33:41I venture a guess they would say I'm the thorn
33:44in their sides.
33:45Don't sell yourself short.
33:47I have seen you step up for this family
33:49and I'm pretty sure they noticed it too.
33:53What are we paying nannies for?
33:54Those children are running wild.
33:55If they broke another lamp...
33:58Still, they are the next generation of quarter mains.
34:04And I will keep them safe at all costs.
34:09Spoken like a true matriarch.
34:15You did the right thing.
34:16You're getting your kids back.
34:17I cannot thank you enough, Drew.
34:19I don't know what I'd do without you.
34:22Come on, let's go get those kids of yours.
34:25I can't believe you agreed to that shakedown.
34:27I mean, you realize Drew's manipulating Willow.
34:29The kids are gonna be fine with Willow, Carly.
34:31It's just temporary, that's all.
34:33Just temporary.
34:37I was just coming out to look for you guys.
34:40Just an update.
34:42Michael almost went into cardiac arrest.
34:44What? What do you think?
34:45Is he okay?
34:46He's stable.
34:47He's fine.
34:49He's okay.
34:50He's okay.
34:51He's okay.
34:51He's okay.
34:53He's fighting through it.
34:55Thanks to Dr. Gannon.
34:56Michael's not out of the woods yet,
34:57but he's starting to improve.
34:59So hold on to that.
35:03Dr. Robinson.
35:05Michael Correntos nearly went into cardiac arrest.
35:08Wait, what do you mean?
35:09Just now?
35:10Lidocaine drip wasn't working.
35:11So I took a chance
35:12and administered digoxin immunofibula.
35:15Which counteracts digitalis?
35:17Almost immediately.
35:19Michael's stable.
35:21Thank God you got to him in time.
35:22Okay, we're gonna have to have security
35:24check the footage on the floor.
35:25Wait, I've already asked.
35:27They looked at it quickly
35:28and they haven't been able to find anything
35:30out of the ordinary.
35:31Dr. Robinson,
35:33I think it's time we take this to the police.
35:36There is someone in this hospital
35:39who is killing people with digitalis.
