00:00Are you okay?
00:02Yeah.
00:05Liar.
00:08Let me guess, it has something to do with Drew.
00:11How'd you know?
00:13Because most things do these days.
00:16What'd the congressman do now?
00:20Nina's distracting Lailie and Amelia, but who knows how long that will last.
00:23Yeah, so say what you gotta say, Carly, and then you can leave.
00:26What are you thinking?
00:28Moving the kids in here? Are you sure that's what's best for them?
00:31Yes, I am.
00:33This is Wiley and Amelia's home now.
00:34No, it's not!
00:36You can move in with me, move back in with your mom.
00:38Hell, you can stay at the Metro Court to find your own place there.
00:40Carly, stop.
00:42You have no right to dictate our lives.
00:45But Michael does.
00:47And I'm here because he can't be.
00:49Those are Michael's kids too, Willow.
00:51And if he can't be here to fight for them, then I'm gonna do it for him.
00:58Sorry I'm late.
00:59It's okay, you're not that late.
01:01And it must be for a good reason with a smile like that.
01:03What's up?
01:04This is all thanks to you, you know?
01:06What's thanks to me?
01:07I'm gonna play football game.
01:09I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:12And I've decided that moving out of the court remains is what's best for me and the baby.
01:18Can I ask why?
01:20Well, I have to walk the walk, right?
01:23All I've been saying is how I want to be independent and make a life for us on my own.
01:29And that can't happen if we're living here.
01:31Are you mad?
01:35No.
01:35I mean, you get to raise the baby however and wherever you want.
01:42Just, uh, I guess I was hoping that wherever would be, would be here.
01:48Hey, Grandma.
01:51We need to have a little chat about your prior arrest in California.
01:57I already told you that.
01:57It's all right.
01:58We won't be violating any NDAs.
02:00Right.
02:02Because I have the WSB to thank for that.
02:04Particulars don't matter.
02:07What matters is that I got hold of your sealed arrest records.
02:15And I know everything.
02:20You want me to get into environmental physics?
02:24That's my mission.
02:26That's right.
02:26And I'm taking this class because...
02:31You need to get close to the instructor.
02:34Professor Dalton.
02:35Plus, you are listening.
02:36Why am I cozying up to this guy?
02:39Jax, you're on a need-to-know basis here.
02:42Okay.
02:43Tell me what I need to know.
02:45There you are.
02:48So, the Lonergan deposition?
02:51A complete scene.
02:54There I am, grilling that louse, the husband, about his alleged infidelity when suddenly Mrs. Lonergan goes rogue, leaps across the table, starts strangling him with her bare hands.
03:07Oh, I love my job.
03:12Okay, well, I guess you had to be there.
03:17Alexis, what's wrong?
03:19It's bad.
03:20Die.
03:20It's really bad.
03:22What is it?
03:23Before I tell you, I need to hire you as my lawyer.
03:38Everything you have told me since you arrived in Port Charles has been a lie.
03:43Not everything.
03:45Oh, okay, so you weren't thrown out of your previous school because the party got out of hand.
03:50Uh, no.
03:51But the party did happen.
03:52Right, as a distraction, so that you could commit the actual crimes that you got kicked out for.
03:59Right, okay.
04:00And I have those here.
04:01Here we go.
04:03Breaking and entering, trespassing, and assault.
04:09Have I missed anything?
04:11Here's what I can say.
04:13The WSB arranged for your enrollment in environmental physics.
04:16Your mission...
04:17Should I choose to accept it?
04:20Sorry.
04:21My mission?
04:23Is to secure a spot as Professor Dalton's research assistant.
04:26How am I supposed to do that?
04:28I'm starting the semester late.
04:30He's got to have other students lined up for the position already.
04:33Then I suggest you make your way to the front of the line.
04:36Do you have any suggestions?
04:37Jax, well, we recruited you for a reason.
04:42We've given you the instructions and the tools.
04:44Now, this is your school, and you're resourceful.
04:48So it's up to you to do the rest.
04:49Laura and I agree that the original location for the Esplanade is what's best for poor Charles.
05:01But, um, Ezra Boyle, who's obviously in bed with Drew, and Sidwell, they want to move it to Sonny's peers.
05:11Boyle wants to make it look like Laura is doing Sonny's bidding and hiding behind her position to do it.
05:16And unless Laura wants to be seen as abusing her power to protect Sonny, she's going to have to go along with what Sidwell wants.
05:24And that's exactly what Drew wants.
05:26Exactly.
05:27And I know that they have history, but Laura would never put her friendship with Sonny over her duties as a mayor.
05:34Well, we know that.
05:36But, um, perception is reality.
05:39If Boyle gets his story out, it could likely be the end of Laura's career.
05:43But Drew is the one who is doing this.
05:46Boyle, he's just the puppet.
05:47Pretty much.
05:48Is there anyone's life that Drew isn't trying to ruin?
05:51That's exactly why I'm trying to keep him away from Kai.
05:54Wait, what does any of this have to do with Kai?
05:57When you say you're going to play football again, I mean that the hope, the goal is to play football again after I have my surgery.
06:06Okay.
06:07Um, well, I just thought you were waiting to decide until my mom came back with the research so that you could figure out if you're going to go through with it or not.
06:15I was going to.
06:16Did you even have a consultation with a surgeon?
06:18Not yet.
06:19Then what changed?
06:20I just realized all that hesitation and asking people for advice, that was my fear talking.
06:25You know, what if the surgery doesn't work or what if it does work and I'm not as good as I was before?
06:30You know, I can't let these what ifs hold me back.
06:33Well, fear can be healthy and it's evolution's way of keeping us safe.
06:38Yes.
06:38Okay.
06:38In some situations, for sure.
06:40But in this one, to be honest, having the surgery was never a question.
06:45Okay.
06:46Not really.
06:47If there's the smallest chance I could have my dream back, I need to take it.
06:50Kai, football is the reason you're in this position to begin with.
06:53And risks come with the territory.
06:55Okay, but football is what makes my life worth living.
06:58And it's been that way since I was a kid.
07:00I don't know, Kai.
07:00I just feel like that this is a really big decision.
07:05And it feels like you're just making it really fast.
07:07Can I ask you something?
07:08Yes, of course.
07:10Are you worried about the actual surgery itself or is it because it's a gift from Drew?
07:14My children.
07:18My decision.
07:19I don't need your permission to do anything.
07:25Child.
07:28What?
07:30Child.
07:32Wiley isn't technically yours.
07:34Wow, Carly.
07:36That might be the worst thing you have ever said to me.
07:40Well, it's true.
07:41Michael made you Wiley's mother when he didn't have to.
07:43He gave you that gift because he thought you were a good person.
07:46One who would put her kids' needs before her own.
07:49That's exactly what I'm doing.
07:50No, you're not.
07:51You're repaying Michael's extraordinary kindness by shacking up with his uncle?
07:55And you're uprooting and confusing his kids in the process?
07:58I am a good person, Carly.
08:00And at the bare minimum, I'm safe.
08:02You chose Sonny as a father for Michael.
08:04Look how that turned out for him.
08:06Okay, so let's say this romantic story of yours works out.
08:12What are you going to tell Wiley and Amelia when they get older?
08:15Huh?
08:16What are you going to say?
08:16I'm so sorry that I blew up our lives and I abandoned your father, but I couldn't keep
08:20my hands off your great uncle.
08:21I did not abandon.
08:24My children love Drew.
08:26Of course they do.
08:27He's family.
08:27That's what makes it even more disgusting.
08:29Oh, and you wouldn't know anything about getting involved with multiple family members,
08:32would you?
08:32I could start listing them, but I don't think we got the time.
08:35The willow Michael married would never do this to him.
08:39I am sorry for hurting Michael.
08:41I truly mean that.
08:43But this did not happen in a vacuum, Carly.
08:46No, as I recall, it happened in the corner main nursery.
08:48Michael and I were having problems.
08:51Even before Drew and I got together.
08:53And I am not going to apologize for wanting to be with Drew.
08:56And I certainly won't apologize for falling in love with him.
09:02Why do you want me to stay so badly?
09:06I don't know.
09:06I just think it would be good for you to be here.
09:08And I know it would be good for the baby.
09:11And I know the quarter mains drive each other crazy, but underneath it all, they do love
09:14each other.
09:16And they do take care of each other.
09:18Do you really believe that?
09:20I do.
09:22Then why'd you spend most of your life avoiding them?
09:25No one knows better than me how cutting-edge surgery can change your life.
09:33I really just hate that the offer came from Drew.
09:36I don't like it.
09:39But what do you think that Drew would want from Carly?
09:42I don't know yet.
09:44But I do not want to stand in that young man's way.
09:47Well, Drew has proven himself to be nothing but untrustworthy.
09:51Of course you would question his motives.
09:53I know that, and I know that I'm biased, which is why I wanted Kai to talk with you.
10:00Well, he did.
10:01He asked me about the surgery, and I looked into it for him like I said I would.
10:05And I gotta say, it's a great option for him.
10:09Well, I knew you'd give him an honest assessment.
10:12You are an objective third party, and you don't owe Drew anything.
10:19If the surgery is a success, I'm afraid that you might get hurt playing again.
10:27And if it isn't...
10:28If it isn't a success?
10:30I just know that your hopes and your dreams would be gone, and you would be devastated.
10:36Well, you and I have a lot of the same concerns, but what about the Drew part?
10:41I wish I weren't, but I am worried about the Drew of it all.
10:46He's only been decent to me, Trini.
10:49I thought my dream was over, and Drew gave me hope that it might not be.
10:53And I know it's a risk.
10:54And you had to make the decision really quickly.
10:56To increase my chances.
10:58But this surgeon is one of the best in the world.
11:00And if I can get back to playing football, all of my fears, the surgery, the recovery, that is all worth it.
11:07Okay?
11:07And as long as I have you, they're cheering me on.
11:14I know football is your dream.
11:17And if there's a chance for it to happen again,
11:20you have to pursue every single option.
11:24I couldn't do this without you.
11:26Yes, you could.
11:28But you don't have to.
11:30Oh.
11:31Um, I need to take care of something for Ava.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Oh, uh, yeah.
11:38Okay.
11:38I'll text you later.
11:40Sounds good.
11:52Engagement signed.
11:55Now, why do you need a lawyer?
11:56I don't need a lawyer.
11:59Christina.
12:00My God.
12:02With everything that poor girl has been through lately, what's happened to her now?
12:05Nothing happened to her.
12:07Something happened because of her.
12:12You're just going to have to come out and say it.
12:13She caused Rick's car crash.
12:15What?
12:16She is the reason that Rick and Elizabeth were almost killed.
12:22That can't be true.
12:23She got his break lines.
12:25Why?
12:27I mean, I know there's no love lost between Rick and Christina, but...
12:32She wasn't trying to kill Rick.
12:34She was trying to kill Ava.
12:36Are the kids okay?
12:39Yeah, I settled them down to watch a movie.
12:41I turned the volume up, but it'd be really great if we could settle things down a little
12:44in here.
12:45Well, you just missed the big announcement.
12:47Oh?
12:48Yeah, yeah.
12:48Uh, uh, Willow is in love with Drew.
12:51You realize you don't even know him, right?
12:53What does that even mean, Carla?
12:55It means you have many different personas, and no one knows what they're getting at any
12:58given time.
12:59That's what it means.
13:00I know who Drew is, and how I feel about him.
13:02Wow.
13:03Look, and then she's not even going to apologize for it.
13:05Any of it.
13:06You know, I really did think, at the very least, using my son's burnt body as a bargaining
13:10chip may merit some, oh, I'm sorry, my bad, but no.
13:15Everything I have done has been in the best interest of my children.
13:19I am a mother, just like you.
13:21I would never keep my kids away from their father, Willow.
13:24Really?
13:25AJ might have something to say about that.
13:26Yeah, and if you think Michael is anything like AJ, you're too stupid to be standing
13:29in this room.
13:30The hypocrisy here is mind-blowing.
13:32Why can't you see what everyone out sees?
13:33Everyone out sees!
13:35Drew is a liar!
13:36He's repulsive!
13:37We don't care what you think, Carly.
13:39For the millionth time, you don't get a say!
13:42Yeah, Michael does.
13:45And I'm going to make sure there is no doubt about his position.
13:48Well, if Michael has something to say, he's got to stop using his mommy as a mouthpiece.
13:53He needs to heal, get back here, and say it for himself.
13:57Just start with the party.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Well, I thought that you said you knew everything.
14:03I want to hear it from you.
14:06Yeah.
14:07My friends and I invited pretty much everyone we knew because we needed the crowd to be
14:12big.
14:12You wanted to distract the campus security so that you could break into the lab?
14:18Yeah, because we suspected that they were doing animal testing in there.
14:21And once we got inside, it took about five seconds to realize that everything we thought was true.
14:25Okay?
14:25Animals were banging around in their cages, and it was heartbreaking, Grandma.
14:32I'm sure it was.
14:32The plan was to get all the animals out of the building, but security caught us before
14:37we could get started.
14:39And what happened when security got there?
14:41Total chaos.
14:43The animals were trapped in their cages, and people were tearing off in all directions,
14:47and I was one of them.
14:50What did you do next, Emma?
14:52I mean, I was trying to get out of there, but a security guard grabbed me, and he swung me
14:55around, and when he did, the crowbar that I used to break in with accidentally hit him.
14:59God.
15:00I mean, I didn't mean to, okay?
15:02It was an accident.
15:02Yes, it was a horrible accident.
15:04Yeah, and obviously, I could have been arrested.
15:06And you could have been charged on multiple counts.
15:09But the school didn't want the testing exposed, okay?
15:12So they offered me the NDA, and they dropped the charges in exchange for my expulsion.
15:16Kind of ironic, if you think about it.
15:18I mean, the party was supposed to be a perfect cover for me, and it just ended up being the
15:21perfect cover for the school.
15:23Thank you for telling me the truth.
15:25Is that what it said in my file?
15:27I mean, yeah.
15:28Your account is pretty consistent.
15:30With the arrest records, yeah.
15:33I don't think that you're really grasping the severity of the situation.
15:39I mean, I believe you when you say that it was an accident that you hit that security guard.
15:45But he could have been seriously hurt.
15:47I mean, what if he had died, Emma?
15:50I know.
15:52And trust me when I tell you I wish so badly things hadn't spiraled so far out of control.
15:57Because of your choices and the way that you handled them.
16:01This.
16:02Okay, this thing that you're doing.
16:05This is why I didn't want you to find out.
16:06Well, then, now we can both be upset.
16:10That's why you hired me, right?
16:12My resourcefulness.
16:14One of the reasons.
16:16Okay.
16:16I will find a way to get in with Professor Dalton, and I will have him begging me to be his research assistant.
16:24It's a spirit.
16:26See how much smoother things go when you just nod and say, yes, sir?
16:30I didn't do any of that.
16:32And I don't think I'm going to in the future.
16:34Well, let's hope Professor Dalton likes spunk.
16:37We don't have another agent for this mission.
16:40Wait.
16:41Was that the reason I was recruited?
16:43Because I already attended PCU?
16:46Jack Brennan is the best of the best.
16:50And he saw something special in you.
16:52That's why you were here.
16:55Okay.
16:55Well, I guess I should be relieved.
16:58I mean, my first mission is doing something I already know how to do.
17:02Be a college student.
17:03You're not a student anymore, Jax.
17:06You're an agent posing as a student.
17:08Right.
17:08Yeah.
17:10I know.
17:11It's good.
17:12Because your life as you knew it is officially over.
17:15From this point on, your new life begins.
17:19Well, that's true.
17:19I've been estranged from the quarter mains for most of my adult life.
17:25But since I've been back, I don't know.
17:27I think I'm finally understanding what it means to suck things up for the family.
17:32Well, you certainly do your share.
17:35Well, you know, there is value living here.
17:39Especially for Danny.
17:42You know, he's around all his relatives who love him.
17:45This big, crazy family.
17:47Emphasis on crazy.
17:49Even when they annoy him, I can still tell he loves it.
17:53I think the baby would, too.
17:55I always wanted a big family.
17:57I never had one, but, uh...
17:59I always hoped that I would give my kids one.
18:02I couldn't give Danny that on my own.
18:05And neither can you.
18:07Now, look, this isn't meant to be a guilt trip.
18:10You're about to bring up Monica.
18:13Yeah, she may not know who the real father is, but it's still her family.
18:18And I just think it would be nice for the baby to be close for her.
18:23Especially since Michael's other kids can't be.
18:29Hey, Dad.
18:29Hey, Sasha.
18:31What's the matter?
18:33Well, I wanted to bake these cake pops for Scout.
18:37They're her favorite, and she misses having them, so I promised I'd make her some using your recipe, but, um...
18:42It didn't go so well.
18:44Yeah, no, I'm not the baking person.
18:47And these were a lot harder than I thought they would be.
18:49I'm happy to help you make a new batch.
18:51I told Scout I would do it, so they have to be from me.
18:55Okay.
18:55Well, how about I oversee things?
18:58That would work great.
19:00Excellent.
19:01Hey, um, you guys good?
19:03I gotta go.
19:04Yeah.
19:05Work great.
19:05Yeah.
19:06All right.
19:06Good luck with those.
19:09Thanks, Dad.
19:11All right.
19:12Let's get started.
19:14This is gonna be fun.
19:15What do we do?
19:18You're faulting Michael for not being here while he's recovering from nearly dying?
19:22As much as my heart breaks for Michael, and despite what you think it does, he can't be a father from Germany.
19:27He is fighting to get back to his kids, and you both know that.
19:30I wanted Michael to stay close.
19:32Remember?
19:33I advocated for Marilyn.
19:35Oh, yeah, let's have Michael get subpar care because his cheating wife thinks that's bad.
19:39It didn't matter what I thought.
19:41Michael chose to go to Germany.
19:42You pushed it.
19:43He did what you wanted, and now you're whining about the fallout?
19:46I cannot believe you're the woman I walked down the aisle.
19:48If I had to do it all over again, I would drag you as far away as possible.
19:53And I can't believe I didn't see it.
19:55But you've been like her all along.
19:58Been like who?
20:01Now.
20:01Christina tried to kill Ava?
20:06Apparently things got heated between them and Christina went into yet another rage, and she cut the brake line.
20:15You rang?
20:24Come in and close the door behind you.
20:28Saying please wouldn't kill you, you know?
20:31It actually might.
20:32Sit down.
20:33Coming here was a lot more fun when I was blackmailing you.
20:38Well, those days are over.
20:39Now you do what I say, or you are fired.
20:43What do you want?
20:43Every file, every test, every screening, you name it.
20:48Related to Drew Cain.
20:50You're not serious.
20:51And I need you to go all the way back to when he arrived in Port Charles.
20:54Don't forget the Jake Doe files.
20:57That's over ten years.
20:59And that's not even my job.
21:01It is now.
21:03Thanks, Brad.
21:06The only other alternative is finding employment elsewhere.
21:09Somewhere far, far, far away from your precious Lucas.
21:14Well, Lucas wants nothing to do with me.
21:17And that could change.
21:19But it probably won't if you're not here.
21:21Fine, I'll do it.
21:25What are you even looking for, anyway?
21:27Drugs?
21:28I'll know it when I see it.
21:31And, Brad, don't forget to meet you.
21:32Yeah, I know, I know.
21:33Shut the door behind me.
21:40Mr. Ashford.
21:41Hey.
21:42Hey, Kai.
21:42How you doing?
21:43Good.
21:44You just missed Trina.
21:45You here for lunch?
21:46No, my auntie's been dropping hints about how wonderful the fish tacos are here.
21:50So I thought I would surprise her with takeout.
21:52So I'll move.
21:53The food is great.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Uh, so Portia told me that you asked her advice about the surgery.
22:00I did, yeah.
22:01Uh, but I actually made my decision.
22:04I'm doing it.
22:05And you think that's the right choice?
22:07Look, Kai, while you are a good person, Drew Cain is not.
22:11If he has taken an interest in you, you gotta believe there's an ulterior motive.
22:15Look, I know you guys have history, and I respect that.
22:18But all that Drew's doing is connecting me with the doctor.
22:22Be careful.
22:23I mean, you saw what he did to his nephew, and what he threatened to do to the Quartermain family crypt.
22:30If he could betray his family like that, what do you think he would do to you?
22:35You want me to commit my own daughter?
22:37Of course I don't want you to commit her.
22:40But this is her best way.
22:42It's her only way out.
22:44And you know this.
22:45I don't know anything.
22:47And I don't know that you're right.
22:48And I can't do it.
22:50Listen to me.
22:50Even if we were to get the charges reduced, say, attempted murder second degree,
22:55that's three stacked charges in the state of New York.
22:58So Christina is looking at 15 years in prison, and that's the best case scenario.
23:07Maybe it won't come to this.
23:08What won't come to what?
23:09Nobody knows right now.
23:11Nobody knows.
23:11No investigation, no charges, and the police don't know anything.
23:14You and I both know that whatever's done in darkness always comes to light.
23:19Always.
23:20It's just a question of when.
23:22Do you want to live like that?
23:25Jumping out of your skin every time there's a knock at the door, phone rings, it's the cops, is it not?
23:30This is Christina's best chance.
23:33Take it.
23:36Carly, you've gone too far.
23:38You need to leave right now.
23:39No, no, no.
23:39Willow's good, right?
23:41You're using your own voice.
23:42You're making your own choices.
23:43You're fine, right?
23:46Nell and I are nothing alike.
23:48Maybe you're right.
23:48I mean, as sick as she was, she actually loved Michael.
23:50I can't say the same thing about you.
23:52I loved Michael.
23:52And a part of me always will.
23:54And you know that.
23:54You have an interesting way of showing that.
23:56And at least with Nell, I knew what I was dealing with, but you, I had no idea who you were.
24:00Do you hear yourself?
24:02Nell told Michael his baby was dead and gave him to another couple.
24:06Yes, that's right.
24:08Nell did steal Michael's child, but you stole two.
24:10So I guess that means you're the winner.
24:12How dare you?
24:14How dare you?
24:14You did what you came to do.
24:16Get out or I'll get the cops to take you out.
24:18You have got a lot of nerve coming into our home and speaking to me like this.
24:22That's right.
24:23But let me tell you something.
24:24That nerve helped me beat your sister.
24:26And for the sake of Michael and those kids, I'm going to beat you too.
24:31Carly, the days of you telling me what to do are over.
24:36You can say you're here for Michael.
24:38You are here for you.
24:40And I will do whatever I want with my kids because absent Michael has no say in anything I do.
24:44And neither do you.
24:46So just shut up already.
24:47Everyone here knows your altruistic mother act is about as fake as you are.
24:56It's too drastic.
25:01I can't do it.
25:03I can't.
25:04And she'll never go along with it.
25:07Well, honey, with everything that Christina has been through lately,
25:12the fall, losing the baby, Sam, Michael's accident,
25:18you wouldn't need to get her permission.
25:21What?
25:23Christina's in therapy, right?
25:25You could have her committed involuntarily.
25:28I can't do that.
25:31Oh, no.
25:32No.
25:33She'd never forgive me.
25:34Oh, I think she would.
25:36On what planet?
25:37On the planet where she understands that it's a far cry between a few...
25:41...to think outside the box in order to protect yourself or protect the ones you love.
25:50I can't do this to my family.
25:52You're not doing it to them, Alexis.
25:54You're doing it for them.
25:58Besides, it sets up Christina to be in a perfect position for a great defense when the truth comes out.
26:04It also sets up Molly to be able to forgive her sister when everything is exposed.
26:10But even without those two reasons, Christina needs help.
26:16She's not in...
26:18I know.
26:19Listen to me.
26:20You yourself went on trial for a murder you did not commit because you disposed of Christina's gun.
26:26There's a pattern here, honey.
26:29Christina gets herself into trouble.
26:31You come in, clean it all up.
26:34It's not helping.
26:35In fact, it's having the opposite effect.
26:39It's time to take drastic action.
26:44You want to know what I was thinking about when I was in that jail cell?
26:47Grandma.
26:52You.
26:55Me.
26:57Grandma, I wasn't thinking about my mom or my dad or my records and my regrets.
27:02I was thinking about you.
27:03And I was thinking about how disappointed you were going to be in me and how you were going to look at me, which, by the way, is exactly how you're looking at me right now.
27:13How am I looking at you?
27:15Like you're sad.
27:16Like you can't believe that I've turned into this thing or something.
27:20Emma.
27:27You know I love my mom and my dad, right?
27:29Yeah.
27:31So much.
27:31Okay, but the way that they have raised me to believe that if you do everything right and you follow the rules, that life is just going to fall into place.
27:40And that's just not true.
27:42Okay, playing by the rules, that doesn't stop injustice.
27:45And I want to spend every single day of my life fighting for what's right.
27:50I don't think you're giving your parents enough credit.
27:53That is exactly what they do.
27:54They help people.
27:55No, I know.
27:56And trust me when I say I think that what my parents do and who they are is absolutely amazing.
28:02We can agree on one thing at least.
28:04But I'm more like you.
28:07I mean, we do whatever we think is right and we fight for the people that can't fight for themselves.
28:12And sometimes that means stepping over the line and breaking the rules.
28:15But that is what you taught me.
28:17And that is why I thought of you when I was in that jail cell.
28:21We do whatever we think is right.
28:25Don't we?
28:27Man, you must be happy.
28:29Because everyone thought you were the master manipulator in this entire situation.
28:32But no, it's been Willow all along making all of these choices.
28:35I don't need Drew to make any choices for me.
28:36No, you want everyone to believe that you're the victim and the heroine in this ridiculous fairy tale.
28:41But you're nothing but a selfish little bitch.
28:42Make yourself useful for once, Jason.
28:44Get her out of here.
28:44Let me tell you something.
28:45You guys deserve each other, but you do not deserve those kids.
28:48You crossed a line today, Carly.
28:50You almost slapped me.
28:52I am your grandchildren's mother.
28:55For now.
28:56What does that mean?
28:57Let me tell you what that means.
28:59I'm going to help Michael get his kids back, and you're never going to see them again.
29:03Ever.
29:03Ever.
29:03Ever.
29:12You do try to do the right thing.
29:19And I think I am...
29:22I have a lot of affirmation for you for trying to take action to help people and animals in need.
29:31But I think what I want to know is that you are remorseful for the action that you took and how it turned out.
29:40I am.
29:41You really got lucky here, Emma.
29:44I mean, nobody was seriously hurt this time.
29:47I know.
29:48And I'm not saying it's a bad thing to hurt animals, but an okay thing to hurt people.
29:52Right.
29:52Because if something had actually happened to that security guard...
29:56Can you just believe me when I say that I don't always sleep that well at night?
30:03I've been there.
30:05And I have to live with the consequences of that.
30:11I think we are very alike in many ways.
30:15Except that there is one profound difference between us.
30:19And that is that I always have a fine-tuned plan.
30:25And I have significant resources and training to back it up.
30:31And for me, you know, that's the BCPD or the WSB.
30:35I see what you're saying.
30:37And I know it's been a rocky start, okay?
30:40But I am determined to do better.
30:42And I still want to change the world, but...
30:45I'm going to do it your way.
30:47Yeah, safer.
30:49And smarter.
30:51Definitely.
30:52And I'm already really enjoying my class with Professor Dalton.
30:55I think he's touched on some pretty cool ideas already.
30:57Oh, God.
30:58My goodness.
31:00You have a class that you can stand.
31:02I mean, that's good.
31:03That's a start.
31:04Yeah.
31:05I'm really sorry if me being here has stressed you out.
31:09Your being here is a gift.
31:10I love you, Emma.
31:14I do.
31:15Profoundly.
31:16And without any hesitation.
31:19And no conditions.
31:21All right?
31:21So you never forget that.
31:23I just, I just want you to be safer and smarter, okay?
31:32Safer and smarter.
31:39Okay.
31:39What happens after I secure the assistant position?
31:43You keep gaining Professor Dalton's trust and wait for further instructions.
31:47Okay.
31:48I got it.
31:49Good.
31:49Just remember what I said.
31:52This might feel the same.
31:54Going to class, hanging out with friends, getting your assignments in.
31:57This isn't school anymore.
31:59There are no makeup exams or extra credit.
32:01If you fail this mission, there will be serious consequences.
32:05For all of us.
32:08A visit from your father and now you?
32:10What did I do to get so lucky?
32:12I wish I was here for a good reason.
32:15Okay.
32:15What's wrong?
32:16Kai's not waiting for your opinion for the surgery.
32:19He's made up his mind.
32:20He's going through with it.
32:22I appreciate the warning and I appreciate your family looking out for me.
32:27Just promise me you'll be careful, okay?
32:29Drew is, he's shrewd and he's manipulative.
32:33And there is always something in it for him.
32:36I just don't see what he could possibly get from me.
32:38Now, I'm in college and the guy is a congressman.
32:42Yeah.
32:42I wish I could tell you what he's after, but I haven't figured it out yet.
32:46Just know, Kai, that this favor he's doing for you is going to come at a cost.
32:52And it may be higher than you could have ever imagined.
32:55I cannot believe that just happened.
32:57You did great!
32:59Holding your own against Carly is no small feat.
33:02Can she really take Wiley and Amelia?
33:04Carly has her resources.
33:06But so do I.
33:08And I promise you, with everything in me, I will not let you lose your kids.
33:18I don't need you to drive me home.
33:19You're too upset right now.
33:21Did he want to text you and tell you to come get me?
33:22What were you thinking?
33:23Is that a real question?
33:24Why is it such a real question?
33:25Attacking Willow is going to push her and the kids farther away and make Drew look like a savior.
33:29I don't care.
33:30I gave Willow space to make the right decision and that didn't work.
33:33So now it's time to fight.
33:34And I can fight a hell of a lot harder than they can.
33:37I know this is a lot to take in.
33:40And you don't have to decide this second.
33:44But don't take too long, huh?
33:45Okay.
33:45Do it.
33:54Drop the papers and have Christina committed.
