00:00thing. Yeah. Um, but, but first, I have to tell you something. Okay? What? Thank you.
00:12So, was, uh, Jocelyn settling in? You must be thrilled to have her home. I'm so happy she's
00:16back. I mean, she wasn't gone very long, but I missed her so much. Well, of course she did.
00:19She's a remarkable young woman. I'm, uh, sorry I ruined her homecoming. You didn't. It's fine.
00:26I mean, she'll come around to us being together. Yeah, I hope so. I know your being with me
00:31has caused you problems. No, everything is fine. Jocelyn is going to be great. And Jason
00:38and I had a heart to heart, so we're good now. So he approves of me now? No. But we're not
00:46going to let it affect our friendship. I need a word with your baby daddy. Do you know where
00:50he is? Jason is not here, and I have no idea where he is. You are going to give birth to
00:58his child in a few months. Perhaps you should keep better tabs on him. Oh, there you are.
01:06Tracy needs a word with you, and apparently I need to put a tracker in your jacket.
01:10Tracy, what do you want? You were conspicuously absent when the family crypt was being threatened
01:17by your odious brother. Why was that? Well, because I knew you would handle it, and you
01:21did. Yeah, well, there's very little I can't handle. It doesn't mean that your presence would
01:26not have been appreciated. You know, we tolerated your hands-off approach to family when you
01:34didn't live here, but now you do live here with your son and the woman you knocked up.
01:40Oh, it sounds so romantic when you say it, Tracy.
01:42Tracy. So you need to step up, get in the game, help protect this family.
01:47I will boil some oil and have it ready for you to dump over the wall.
01:54What is this? Can I help you? We're from PC Moving and Storage. We're looking for the gatehouse.
02:00We need to pick up some boxes from the nursery and deliver them to 419 Crestview Lane.
02:04Uh-huh. Drew's new place. Is everything okay with your new room?
02:12Yeah, I never had bunk beds before. Well, you know, there's some Star Wars sheets in the dresser.
02:18Can I go see? Okay, just don't wake up Amelia from her now.
02:26You have made him so happy. Yeah? What about his mother?
02:31I have never been happier.
02:38Is everything okay? What's going on? I mean, why couldn't we meet back at the office?
02:43Because I need you to do me a favor. And this particular favor needs to stay between us.
02:48Okay. What do you need?
02:51I need you to fire me.
02:52Ah, this is a momentous afternoon, wouldn't you say?
02:59I would. Um, will Tracy be joining us for it?
03:03Yes, yes. Uh, you know, actually, I'm not quite sure what's holding her up.
03:08I think it's a good thing that Tracy's not here.
03:11This gives us a chance to make sure that we're all on the same page.
03:14Uh-huh. And, um, which page is that?
03:21We'll be a lot more comfortable here. That way Sidwell can't monitor our conversation.
03:28Why would he even do that?
03:29You tell me.
03:30I saw you two talking in the MetroCorp, and it's obvious you two know each other, and not just from deception.
03:41So, what is your connection to Sidwell?
03:50Janis Sidwell is, um, my ex-husband.
03:54Now, you've been a great deputy mayor. Why on earth would I fire you?
04:02Because I have a unique opportunity to find out what Sidwell is really up to.
04:05But I can't do it in my current position.
04:08Okay. Tell me more.
04:11Well, Sidwell just showed up here not too long ago.
04:14Here?
04:15Here at your home?
04:16Mm-hmm.
04:16And he offered me a job as his lobbyist.
04:20Wow.
04:22That's kind of the inn you've been waiting for, isn't it?
04:24It is, but I didn't want to seem too eager, so I turned him down.
04:29But he did leave the offer on the table.
04:31You couldn't have maneuvered that any better, could you?
04:35But now I just need a reason to accept the job.
04:38Yeah.
04:39And I think that's kind of tough, you know?
04:41Because you've been a great deputy mayor, and I rely on you for so many things.
04:46Everybody knows how well we get along, so...
04:48I think it's going to be really hard for me to justify your termination.
04:55Well, there is one thing that we don't see eye to eye on, and that something could cause a rift between us.
05:04What?
05:05Not what.
05:06Who?
05:06Sonny Caranthos.
05:09Brick ran a background check on you a while ago.
05:13How the hell would he miss you were married to Sidwell?
05:18But because, I mean, probably because he and I eloped to the Seychelles decades ago, and so there, I mean, there's no way that there was digitized records then.
05:26If Brick didn't find anything, there's nothing to be found.
05:29Yeah, well, the marriage was a disaster from the start.
05:31We weren't married for very long.
05:33The only good thing that came out of it was our son.
05:37The guy you were talking to in the MetroCourt?
05:39Yeah, yeah, that was Marco.
05:41He just got into town last week.
05:42Why didn't you introduce him?
05:44Well, because our relationship is so bad.
05:45It's worse than with me and Allison, if you can believe it.
05:47We barely even made it through lunch.
05:50I could, okay, look, I can see why you didn't say anything about your son.
05:53He just got here.
05:54But Sidwell's been here for months.
05:57Why wouldn't you tell me that he was your ex?
06:01We already agreed on the terms, and this contract incorporates all of them.
06:09So really, there's nothing else to discuss.
06:11I disagree.
06:12Look, I am very grateful you are willing to sell us your supply of Zinkite.
06:16There's no secret that we want to get our new face cream on the market before Enchantment beats us to the punch.
06:21Well, as I've said before, it's a win-win for both parties.
06:23However, I cannot stress this enough.
06:27Deception is a legitimate business, and we make sure that every import we receive is screened.
06:33Rest assured, Maxie, I have nothing to hide.
06:37That's great.
06:38Yes, it absolutely is.
06:41Maxie's just vigilant.
06:43You know, some might say too much.
06:46I say just enough.
06:48Well, I get it from my family.
06:51Family full of cops, intelligence agents.
06:54There's even a district attorney in there full of vigilance.
06:58Some might say too much.
06:59I think just enough.
07:01Well, how fortunate you are to have such a family, and I welcome all of your protocols and any safeguards that you have.
07:09That's fantastic.
07:11So I tell you what, why don't we, since we agreed on all of that, let's just sign this contract.
07:18Shouldn't we wait for Tracy?
07:21Oh, no need, really.
07:22We can get the ball rolling.
07:23If you remove a single item from this estate, I will have you arrested for trespassing and theft.
07:33We won't touch a thing.
07:35We're gonna go now.
07:36I already knew that.
07:39Wow.
07:40I can't believe Willow is actually going through with it.
07:42She's packing up Michael's kids and moving them into Drew's.
07:46I'll handle it.
07:47What does that mean?
07:49It means I'm gonna handle it.
07:50Okay, wonderful.
07:52Good luck with that.
07:53How exactly are you going to handle it?
08:00I'm gonna tell Willow that she can't move in with Drew.
08:03Bad idea.
08:05Really bad.
08:11Nina!
08:12What a pleasant surprise.
08:14Oh, let the movers leave that behind here, please?
08:16No, I ran into one of your aides in the driveway.
08:19This is for you, Congressman Kane.
08:22I hate that Tracy's forced you to give up your family name.
08:27They can have it.
08:27As long as I have you, the kids, Scout, I don't need anything else to hell with Tracy and the rest of the Quartermains.
08:34Well, I hope you're not cutting ties with Monica, because that would be a huge mistake.
08:39They're thanking me for what?
08:45Trina told me that you stopped the Quartermains crypt from getting bulldozed and that you got arrested in the process.
08:51It wasn't that big of a deal.
08:52No, no, no, it's a huge deal, especially to Michael.
08:56I mean, if he had found out that his family's final resting place was destroyed while he was in recovery in Germany, I mean, he doesn't need any more heartache right now, especially not from his disgusting uncle.
09:08So, thank you.
09:10You're welcome.
09:13Couldn't have done any of it without Gio.
09:15You totally could have.
09:16I was just happy to be there and help.
09:19The Quartermains have been amazing to me.
09:21On top of that, it was the right thing to do.
09:23Yeah, moving that crypt would have been a hideous thing to do.
09:26Right.
09:27Well, look at us, finally agreeing on something.
09:29Well, I'm sorry I missed it.
09:30Yeah, if you hadn't gone on your little trip, maybe you could have done some bonding time in jail.
09:34Next time.
09:35Next time.
09:35So, how was Easter Island?
09:37You get to see the Mawai?
09:38Those big-headed statue things?
09:40Yeah, no, I totally heard you the first time.
09:42Yeah.
09:44They're amazing.
09:45Yes, the Rapa Nui people, they believe that they hold the sacred spirits of their ancestors.
09:52There's no evidence of extraterrestrials?
09:54No, and I looked.
09:57Did you take any pictures?
09:58Yes, I did.
10:00One or two.
10:02Yeah, you can look through.
10:03Oh, wow.
10:05You know, my schedule's clear the rest of the day, so if you're interested, you could have me all to yourself.
10:22Oh, I'm definitely interested.
10:25Great.
10:25So, uh, well, what should we do?
10:28Dinner and a movie?
10:30No.
10:31I had something else in mind.
10:33Well, then, I am very interested in that.
10:40There she is.
10:42As you can see, my ship is already docked.
10:45All we need is Tracy's signature for our business to be concluded.
10:49I'm sure Tracy will be here any second.
10:51Oh, well, in the meantime, allow me to show you a sample of your core component, your miracle cream.
10:57This is zinc-ite in its crystal form.
11:04It's actually quite stunning.
11:07I think it's kind of a shame that we have to crush it up into powder for our product, though.
11:11Well, anyone that appreciates how beautiful this is deserves a piece all to themselves.
11:17Oh, no, I couldn't.
11:18There's plenty more where that came from.
11:21Okay.
11:21If you insist.
11:25You know, I really wish I could see Erica Kane's face when she finds out that we snagged your supply.
11:31Mm, well, that would be gratifying, but you haven't quite closed the deal yet, have you?
11:36I didn't cut ties with Monica.
11:41She cut ties with me when she took away my leverage against Tracy by saving the crypt.
11:45You shouldn't have had to do all that just to get your own name back.
11:48But in retrospect, you know, threatening the court in Maine's resting place was probably not the way to go.
11:54Even so, Wiley and Amelia adore their great-grandmother.
11:59You're punishing them by cutting Monica out of their lives.
12:02Yes, my mother has a point, and Wiley and Amelia have been asking about Monica.
12:07I know they miss her.
12:09And you should also consider, since the two of you have gone ahead and moved in together,
12:13it might behoove you to play nice with at least one of Michael's family members,
12:18and Monica is the person that you want.
12:21She may even become your ally in the future.
12:24That is true.
12:25And the rest of the quarter means do listen to Monica.
12:28Yes!
12:29Exactly!
12:30I want to be there!
12:30Oh, jeez!
12:31Sweetheart, oh, it's so nice to see you!
12:34Okay, tell me what's going on.
12:36I have a new room with bunk beds!
12:39Mommy, can you help me put my sheets on the top bed?
12:42Of course I can.
12:43I'll be right back.
12:44All right.
12:45Let's go.
12:50They probably need another hand.
12:51They don't.
12:53Just like I don't need you coming over here with your helpful advice.
12:57Well, Congressman Kaye, are you throwing me out?
13:03Not yet.
13:04But you better watch yourself, Nina.
13:06This is my house, and you really don't want to wear out your welcome.
13:09Tracy, over here.
13:19Where is she going?
13:24You think so?
13:25Sorry to interrupt.
13:27I thought you should know that while you are doing this, Willow is moving your grandchildren
13:36into Drew's house.
13:38What?
13:38What?
13:43These are great, Joss.
13:51It makes me really want to go.
13:53I know.
13:54It was beautiful.
13:55I learned so much.
13:58Oh, no.
13:59Not now.
14:00What?
14:01I totally forgot.
14:02I'm supposed to meet my lab partner so they can show me what I missed when I was gone.
14:07I have to go.
14:08Are you sure you want to know?
14:10I'm sure I don't.
14:11But I don't have a choice.
14:13But enjoy your guys' meal, and I'll see you soon.
14:16Yeah, sounds good.
14:17Okay, see you.
14:18Bye.
14:18Okay, I've got to give her credit because I never thought that she would thank me for
14:23anything, except, I don't know, maybe leaving town for good.
14:28Okay, what's up with the whole Frenemies vibe you two got going on?
14:32Starting when we were kids.
14:34I had a huge crush on this boy named Cameron when we were, like, ten.
14:39We hung out for a while, and then he and Joss got together in high school.
14:42So this is about a playground love triangle.
14:45How petty do you think that I am?
14:46Um, no, Cam and I are still friends now, and when he found out Joss cheated on him,
14:51it really broke his heart.
14:52Mm-hmm.
14:52So your animosity is out of loyalty to Cameron?
14:54Yeah.
14:55Although the fact that he and Joss are past it means that I probably shouldn't be, too.
14:59You think?
15:01It's just that Joss has always been this entitled girl.
15:04I mean, she creates chaos, and then she throws money at her problems to make them go away.
15:07And it usually works.
15:09Okay, she's never had to actually face the consequences of her actions.
15:13Unlike yourself, for example?
15:14What is that supposed to mean?
15:15Well, you can create a little chaos yourself, but you pay a price for it.
15:20You got expelled from your old school.
15:22That's exactly it.
15:25I always knew that you understood me, Bensonhurst.
15:29Maybe I'd understand more if I knew why.
15:32My personal feelings about Sonny are very different than yours.
15:38You two have a history together.
15:40You share a family.
15:42So I chose to respect that and steer clear of your relationship.
15:46And I have really appreciated that.
15:48But now you're saying it's time to voice those concerns.
15:51Well, we just need to find a way to publicly disagree about your ties to a notorious mob boss.
15:58Sonny, I think I know how we can do that.
16:10Sonny, I'm sorry.
16:12I am sorry.
16:14I am sorry I didn't tell you about Jens.
16:16I just, I don't know.
16:18I hoped that he would go away for good.
16:21How likely was that, though?
16:24I mean, especially after he got involved with deception.
16:27I know.
16:27And then I felt like, I didn't know.
16:29I thought it was too late.
16:31And I didn't want to ruin this trust that you and I have built.
16:35It just, it means everything to me.
16:37You should have said something.
16:39I know.
16:41Sidwell's definitely up to something.
16:43And how do I know that you're not feeding Sidwell information about me?
16:50I mean.
16:50No, I'm telling you, Sonny.
16:52I swear to you, no.
16:54Jens and I barely even talk.
16:55We parted ways right after Marco was born.
16:58We've barely spoken since Marco's been grown.
17:01And we hate each other.
17:03And just so you know, I haven't told anybody about your heart condition.
17:07No one, I would die before I told him.
17:12All right.
17:13I'm still going to need your discretion.
17:16Because I told Christina and Dante what's going on.
17:21I'm going to tell the rest of my family.
17:23And that's as far as it goes.
17:25I'm glad you let them in.
17:28This is good.
17:28You'll be able to lean on them now.
17:31I appreciate.
17:32Your sport and everything, you know, the last couple of months.
17:36I'm not going to forget that.
17:39What?
17:41Our association.
17:44It's time.
17:45It comes to an end.
17:47If you storm over to Drew's house and order Willow to not move in, you'll just make things worse.
17:53I'm going to be completely civil.
17:54Drew and Willow won't care.
17:55I know Willow.
17:57No matter how civil or sweet you are, she'll see whatever you say as an attack.
18:04Because Willow sees herself as the victim in this star-crossed lover story, which works out perfectly for Drew because he gets to play the hero.
18:13You'll just be moving them closer together.
18:17Okay, so what am I supposed to do?
18:18Nothing.
18:19Nothing?
18:19Yeah.
18:19Michael wouldn't want his kids living under Drew's roof, so I can't do nothing.
18:22You don't have the legal authority to stop it.
18:24That doesn't matter.
18:25I know that you hate this, and I get it.
18:29It must be hard for a man of action like yourself, but for now, you have to stand down and let this go.
18:38I am so sorry.
18:39I thought this house was supposed to be yours and Willow's.
18:43It is.
18:44Just don't press your luck.
18:45I am trying to keep the peace between Willow and Michael's family.
18:48You know why?
18:49Because that's what's best for the children.
18:51Well, that's really special coming from the person that helped them sneak off the Quartermain estate in the middle of the night.
18:56We had to establish physical custody from the start.
18:59Now that we have that, Willow has to play her cards very carefully.
19:03This move doesn't help, but we cannot antagonize the Quartermains any further.
19:09They are going to fight back with a vengeance, and they're going to encourage Michael to do the same.
19:14I'm not afraid of the Quartermains.
19:16I've got plenty of power and connections to make sure that Willow has custody of her children.
19:20I'm going to protect her myself.
19:22Because that's exactly what you want.
19:25A little showdown with the Quartermains, so you can ride in and rescue Willow, and you get to be your savior again, and she gets to forever be in your debt.
19:35It's not that complicated, Nina.
19:37I want Willow happy, and you can't stand the fact that she's happier with me than she was with you.
19:47Willow told me that she was moving in with Drew.
19:49I didn't think she was doing it now.
19:50And you were all right with that?
19:52No.
19:52I thought I had the situation handled.
19:54Hell, I thought that Willow was going to move into a place on her own.
19:57She's thinking, why the hell is she doing this?
19:59I don't care why.
20:00It just has to be stopped.
20:02Jason said he would take care of it, but I have my doubts.
20:05I am entrusting you to take the right steps to rectify this situation.
20:10How am I supposed to do that?
20:11Perhaps this is something Michael should know about.
20:14Handsome and smart.
20:15No, no, no.
20:16If Michael doesn't know about this yet, I don't want it to upset him.
20:18You have to do something for Michael's sake and for Monica's.
20:21She hasn't seen those kids in weeks.
20:23This cannot happen.
20:28Ah, Trace, how lovely of you to join us.
20:32My apologies.
20:34Okay, well, the three of us have already signed the contract.
20:37We just need yours, and we're good to go.
20:40Well, this deal isn't going to happen.
20:45I had to sign a no-disclosure agreement, so I can't actually talk about why I got expelled.
20:50And I couldn't tell my grandmother when she asked me either.
20:53Well, I can see why you might not want to talk about it, but why wouldn't the school want you to talk about it?
21:00Got it.
21:02So should we order something?
21:05Before we do, I want to circle back to something.
21:07You have the wrong idea about Joss.
21:11She's been through some stuff since your playground fallout.
21:15She's dealt with boyfriends, plural, dying.
21:19And Trina told me that she was the target of some revenge porn, and that really knocked her down hard.
21:25But she got back up, and she's been nothing but kind and helpful to me since the day that I got here.
21:32I get it.
21:33You're a fan.
21:35I'm a friend.
21:35Also, didn't she donate to your animal rights fundraiser?
21:39Yeah, so she didn't have to volunteer her time and actually do something.
21:43Look, I don't see Jocelyn Jacks believing enough in anything that would risk putting herself or her future on the line.
21:56Took you long enough?
21:58Thought you lost a trail.
21:59Nope.
22:00I just followed the scent of those onion rings wafting through the air.
22:04Your friends suspect anything?
22:05Were you left?
22:06No.
22:07I was smooth about it.
22:10What are you doing in Port Charles?
22:12Brandon put me on as your handler.
22:14You.
22:15Do you have a problem with that?
22:17No.
22:18Not at all.
22:19Let's do it.
22:20Good.
22:21Then let's go over the assignment.
22:24Ezra Boyle recently tried to publish an editorial about me and how I allegedly favor and protect Sonny.
22:34Hmm.
22:34Yeah.
22:36Curtis killed the story.
22:37But I'm sure that Ezra will take it to another outlet, right?
22:41No doubt.
22:42Yeah.
22:43But it's good Curtis told you.
22:44Yes.
22:45It was very nice of him.
22:46He also gave me some great advice.
22:48He suggested that I put it to a referendum.
22:52So I let the public vote on the location of the esplanade and whether or not they want it moved to Sonny's peers.
23:00And then Sonny and the public won't have a reason to be mad at you.
23:05Smart move.
23:06Yeah, I think so too.
23:08Okay, so, um, okay, so here's what we do.
23:11When I make the announcement about the referendum, you take that moment to, um, publicly criticize me and just say that I'm too buddy-buddy with Sonny or whatever you want to say there.
23:24But then you need to say that you don't support my decision to hold the referendum.
23:31And then you'll have grounds to fire me for insubordination.
23:34Mm-hmm.
23:35I love it.
23:37Let's do it.
23:39I just got a lot going on.
23:42And, uh, you know, I have to be able to trust my inner circle completely.
23:48I get it.
23:48I understand.
23:49And for whatever it's worth, I misspoke association.
23:54I didn't mean association.
23:56We didn't have an association.
23:58We had a friendship.
24:00And I just, you know, I'll miss it.
24:06I will too.
24:08Um, okay.
24:11Uh, just really take good care of yourself, okay?
24:15Yeah.
24:15Please.
24:17For me.
24:20Why wouldn't this deal go through?
24:33We already took a vote, remember?
24:35I abstained, remember?
24:37And then I spoke to Lulu.
24:41And Lulu told me that Mr. Sidwell kept Lucky locked up at his compound.
24:46Lulu told us about that.
24:48She is, after all, Lucky's sister.
24:49I'm sure she's told you quite the tale.
24:52It does run in the family.
24:54And you still wanted to do business with him.
24:57I really don't like friction.
24:59You know, I can take my business elsewhere.
25:02No, please.
25:04Everything is just fine.
25:05Really.
25:05Really.
25:06You know, Lucky is a Spencer.
25:09He's used to being kidnapped.
25:10Besides, you know what?
25:12Maybe, just maybe, it was his fault.
25:15You're blaming the victim.
25:17No.
25:18Because I know deep down this isn't about Lucky.
25:22This is about you wanting to destroy and sabotage me and my company.
25:27The company that I own 51% of?
25:31This is just a whim for you.
25:32If everything tanks, you have lots and lots to fall back on.
25:37I don't.
25:37This is my baby.
25:39This is my livelihood.
25:40And I'm not going to let you do this.
25:41I'm not going to let you destroy everything.
25:43I'm not trying to destroy anything.
25:46I'm trying to protect you from doing business with an international criminal.
25:49So are you going to get in touch with Michael?
25:54Briefly.
25:55It's obvious that Willow did not tell Michael about her plans.
25:58She's such a coward.
25:59Of course, she's not going to tell Michael that she's moving his kids in with Drew.
26:02And I gather you didn't tell him.
26:03No.
26:04God, no.
26:04I don't want to upset him.
26:06I want Michael to focus on getting better so he can come home.
26:08Any sense when that'll be?
26:09No.
26:10No, the doctors don't want to give any kind of a timetable.
26:13Okay, so, uh, what's your plan in the meantime?
26:16I don't know.
26:17Nina was supposed to take care of the whole Willow moving situation.
26:20I should have been keeping an eye on my grandchildren.
26:22I mean, I know they love Drew, but they're going to be confused.
26:25They have to be.
26:26Okay, well, don't be too hard on yourself.
26:28You were recovering from polonium prison.
26:29I know, I know, but I made sure Michael doesn't know anything about that.
26:32He's counting on me to look out for his kids.
26:36Oh, God, I want to go over there and I want to lay into Willow.
26:38And I want to tell her there's no way in hell she's moving in with my grandchildren.
26:43Well, then why don't you?
26:46Whatever tales you've been told about my, um, work in East Africa,
26:50I can assure you my business in Port Charles is completely legitimate.
26:55Look, Tracy, we have vetted Mr. Sidwell as best we can.
26:59I've made it clear we're going to monitor our business arrangement very closely.
27:02We even put a morals clause in his contract, which he signed.
27:06We just need your signature so we can lock this down.
27:09So you're just going to ignore his criminal past?
27:11We've ignored yours.
27:13You're one to talk.
27:15Okay, look, we've all broken the law at one time or another,
27:19and this is Mr. Sidwell's chance to prove he's legit.
27:23Besides, the future of deception may very well depend on it.
27:27Um, before we put this plan into action,
27:30I just, I really need to know that this is something that you really want to do,
27:35because I have talked with Lucky about his encounter with Sidwell.
27:39Well, the guy is ruthless.
27:42He's really dangerous.
27:45Well, I'm sure that I want to do this, but are you?
27:49I mean, our falling out will be a fabrication,
27:53but the political consequences for you could be very real.
27:57Yeah, I've considered that.
27:59I'm just worried that this could backfire with your constituents.
28:03Shining a light on your close relationship with Sonny
28:07could cause you big problems in the future.
28:10Yeah, I think thanks to Ezra Boyle,
28:12my relationship with Sonny is going to cause me problems,
28:16whether we do this or not.
28:18Well, I mean, this could make it worse.
28:20This could cost you your career.
28:22But if it keeps poor Charles safe from Jen Sidwell...
28:27I gotta do it.
28:30You have to be strategic here.
28:33Let Drew and Willow move in together.
28:36Settle in.
28:36Let them think that they've won.
28:38So they won't be ready for it
28:40when Michael comes back to fight for custody?
28:42From a custodial standpoint,
28:43Michael holds all the cards.
28:45Michael cheated too.
28:48Which is why you are the father of my baby.
28:52Finding out that Michael is the real father
28:54is the only ammo Willow would ever have against him.
28:58Right.
28:59I already said I'm good with whatever you have to do or say.
29:02But you're not good with doing nothing.
29:05It's frustrating.
29:06I wish somebody would talk some sense into Willow.
29:09At this point, I don't think anyone can talk to her.
29:11It's like she's fallen into another cult,
29:14and this time it's not dawn of day.
29:15It's dawn of Drew.
29:18You were right, Mom.
29:19I was talking with Wiley,
29:21and he really misses Monica,
29:22not to mention the dogs and the staff at the house.
29:25So now that we are all settled in here,
29:26I'm gonna make sure to take Wiley and Amelia
29:27to visit Monica as soon as I can.
29:30Oh, yeah.
29:31I mean, you sure that's a good idea?
29:33Yeah, I'm not crazy about you
29:34going back into the viper's pet all by yourself.
29:36I'll be fine.
29:37No matter how terribly that family's treated me,
29:39my kids deserve a good relationship
29:40with their great-grandmother.
29:41Yeah.
29:42No, of course they do.
29:43I just wondered maybe if it's better
29:45if Monica comes here to visit the kids.
29:47Just...
29:48It might be confusing for them
29:50to go back to their old home.
29:54You think I should confront Willow?
29:56I'm not gonna claim to be an expert on family squabbles,
29:58but my experience as an agent
30:00tells me that appeasement never works.
30:02You have to go in with a show of force,
30:05let your opponent know
30:06that you're willing to fight to death.
30:09What if I make things worse?
30:11Even then, it's worth the risk.
30:13Your daughter-in-law needs to know
30:14that just because Michael is laid up in the hospital
30:16does not give her carte blanche to do whatever she wants.
30:18She's gonna get resistance from all sides.
30:21From you, from Sonny, from the quarter mains.
30:24You can even let her know
30:25that the good offices of the WSB are at your disposal.
30:28You sound really sexy when you talk like that.
30:31Only then?
30:32Oh, a few times before.
30:34Yeah, I could have sworn.
30:36Willow needs to know
30:37that she is in for the fight of her life.
30:40This is the moment
30:41where she gets to find out
30:43that you don't mess with Carly Spencer.
30:46Do you look down on me
30:49the way you do with Joss?
30:51What are you talking about?
30:53What you said about Jocelyn.
30:55I've never put myself on the line
30:57for something I believe in either.
30:58I don't look down on Joss, okay?
31:01We're just
31:02very, very different people.
31:06And as for you,
31:08I think you've got plenty of time
31:10to figure out what you're passionate about.
31:11I did like sticking up for the Qs.
31:13Congressman Cain was clearly
31:15abusing his power
31:16and it felt really good
31:17to get in the way of that.
31:19Too bad I didn't have
31:19my trusty chain lock with me that day.
31:22Oh yeah, so you could be stuck
31:23doing community service with me?
31:25Are you dreading it though?
31:27No.
31:28Totally fine with picking up trash
31:29and whatever else they assigned me to.
31:31As long as it doesn't interfere
31:32with my other courses
31:33because there's one
31:34that I'm not going to miss
31:35no matter what they say.
31:36Which one's that?
31:37Professor Dalton's
31:39environmental physics class.
31:41I can't wait to get into this.
31:44You know, all I've been told
31:45is to get back to Port Charles
31:47and pick up my PCU classes again.
31:49That's exactly right.
31:50Except for one thing,
31:51you're going to add another class
31:52to your schedule.
31:53How?
31:54The semester already started.
31:55Your enrollment's taken care of.
31:59All you have to do is show up.
32:01Okay.
32:03What class?
32:05Environmental physics
32:06with Professor Dalton.
32:11There you go.
32:13I hope you're satisfied.
32:17I will have a copy sent over
32:19to your office straight away.
32:22This be the beginning
32:23of a very profitable association.
32:26Have a fantastic remainder
32:27of your day.
32:29Thank you so much
32:30and we'll be in touch
32:31about the nurses, Paul.
32:32Yes, yes, yes.
32:34And thank you
32:35for getting this heriton
32:38to see reason.
32:40I hope you know
32:41what you're doing.
32:43This has the potential
32:44to go very, very wrong.
32:47Or
32:47very, very right.
32:53Word to the wise,
32:55a man named Soliski
32:56was suspected of bombing
32:58Sonny Carinthos' penthouse.
33:00He was just found
33:00with his neck broken
33:01in Toronto.
33:03I'd heard.
33:05What has that got to do
33:05with me?
33:07Just saying that people
33:08who cross Sonny
33:08have a way of coming
33:09to a bad end.
33:10Oh,
33:11I didn't know you cared.
33:13I don't.
33:14But if this continues
33:15to escalate,
33:16the WSB might have
33:17to become involved.
33:18What, with a
33:18drone strike?
33:20You know,
33:22this isn't Africa.
33:23It's the United States.
33:25You don't have
33:25as much leeway here.
33:27Try me and find out.
33:42Oh!
33:43Laura.
33:44Hi.
33:45What brings you by?
33:46I need to give you
33:48a heads up.
33:48Yeah?
33:49Yeah.
33:51You're about to be
33:52at the center
33:52of a political hurricane,
33:54Sonny.
33:58And I appreciate
33:59the advice.
34:01Do you appreciate it
34:02enough to take it?
34:05I'm going to stand
34:06down for now.
34:08But in the meantime,
34:10you and I have to
34:10ride this out together.
34:12Great.
34:14But the together part
34:16might be kind of tough.
34:17I've been putting it off,
34:19but I am still
34:20planning to move out.
34:22I really don't want
34:24the kids confused
34:24about where their home is.
34:28But Monica's been so ill.
34:31And they do miss it there.
34:32I think it's better
34:33to arrange the visits
34:34with Monica
34:35at the quartermains.
34:36That's very smart.
34:37That's smart.
34:38And with Monica
34:39being ill,
34:39it's just more pragmatic.
34:41Thank you for suggesting it.
34:43It's good to offer
34:44an olive branch
34:45and hopefully
34:46it'll let Monica
34:46and Michael know
34:47that all I want
34:48is peace and harmony.
34:50Yes.
34:52I'll get it, Lemmy.
34:54Lemmy.
34:55Yes.
34:57I'll get it, Lemmy.
35:00Grandma Carly.
35:01Hi, Grandma Carly's here.
35:05Did you come
35:06to see our new house?
35:08I sure did.
35:09When I heard
35:09about your big move,
35:10I couldn't wait
35:11to visit you
35:11and your mommy.
