00:00hey come in well how'd it go uh i'm not sure the show of force with drew and willow didn't work
00:11well you know the plan was to go over there and take a strong stance on michael's behalf
00:16yeah like we discussed right and uh willow was smug and she was condescending and i lost it
00:21how bad i think i made a mistake i may have just handed michael's children over to willow and drew
00:30this was supposed to be a joyous day a celebration of our families coming together under the same roof
00:40and then carly showed up and ruined it by threatening to take my children from me look
00:45carly can threaten whatever she wants you're not gonna lose your kids you're not i'm not gonna let
00:50that happen i knew carly was capable of being mean and vindictive i saw that firsthand when she went
00:57after my mom but now i know what it's like to be on the receiving end of it yeah i have learned
01:03you can't put anything past carly carly watched over me when i was sick she gave me away at my
01:11wedding it turns out she was just giving michael what he wanted carly doesn't give a damn about me
01:17and she never did sweetheart i know that you're concerned about kai this procedure
01:23i mean it is brand new which is one of the many reasons why i don't think he should go through
01:29with it even if the surgery repairs the damage in his spine and he can play football again all it takes
01:34is one bad hit for him to end up paralyzed honey there are a number of factors it doesn't matter
01:41because kai is willing to take that risk he's already made up his mind he didn't even wait to
01:46get your opinion on the surgery in the first place i actually just finished researching the procedure
01:51and what did you find out
01:54how's the handsome patient better know that you're hearing
02:01so i'm gonna go with alexis i told her everything that christina tried to kill me
02:14and almost killed you and elizabeth instead oh i wish i could have seen the look on her face
02:20it was pretty great i think it'll be one of my happiest memories ever
02:26i told her if she doesn't meet my demands then i'll have to have a little conversation with molly
02:31and the cops about her precious daughter's attempted murder
02:35then how did she react to that she was shocked and appalled
02:41very nice so i'm assuming that she agreed to your demands
02:49i gave her until 9 a.m tomorrow to decide
02:53but she's gonna play ball rick she doesn't have another choice
02:58no i haven't signed the papers yet
03:01damn we're talking about having my daughter committed
03:05yes i know it's the only way to get her out of this mess i'll i'll sign them all right
03:12i'll do it tonight and then you can have them in the morning
03:16bye
03:18hey mom
03:23what's going on you look spooked
03:27i've been thinking about what you said earlier and i just want to talk to you about this
03:35political hurricane that i'm supposed to be the center of
03:39you know sonny the last thing i want to do right now
03:43is upset you when i know that you're dealing with a heart condition
03:48that's okay what's going on
03:51there is still a possibility that the city could seize control
03:56of your waterfront property
03:58why are they coming after my property
04:25is this still about the esplanade project
04:28yes it is come sit with me come on
04:30but i thought we settled that
04:31yeah so did i
04:33all i know is that sidwell and drew
04:37forced you to move the esplanade from its original location
04:43to my peers
04:44and by using eminent domain
04:49but that was a long time ago
04:51i thought you shut that down
04:53i did but they won't let it die
04:56they're coming back at it again
04:58what's happening now
04:59well
05:00uh it's been suggested that perhaps we should allow the people of poor charles to decide
05:06where the esplanade should be located
05:09that that it should be put on the ballot
05:11and uh put up for a citywide referendum
05:14and you said yes to that idea
05:17i did sonny
05:19willow says she cares about michael
05:22but it's obvious that she only cares about herself and what she wants
05:25and this is the first time you've seen this side of willow
05:28yeah
05:29i mean i thought drew's influence had gotten to her
05:31but oh no no
05:32it was all willow
05:33100%
05:34oh she
05:35must be quite a chameleon
05:36and she's fooled you for this long
05:37i guess so
05:39i don't get it
05:41we welcomed her into our family
05:42we stood beside her
05:44rallied behind her
05:45and this is how she repays
05:46all the love and kindness
05:47i couldn't take it
05:48i blew up
05:49well it sounds like you were justified
05:51yeah i thought so
05:52but we went at it
05:54and it got bad
05:54and then jason showed up
05:56okay look look look
05:56here's what's gonna happen
05:57all right
05:58look
05:58you're gonna tell me
06:00everything that happened
06:01start to finish
06:02all right
06:02and then we are gonna come up with a plan
06:04to mitigate the damage
06:05together
06:06i learned firsthand
06:08how carly operates
06:10and she's a user
06:12i went to prison for her
06:14and then when our relationship was over
06:16she had no use for me
06:18it was it was as if
06:19nothing we ever shared mattered at all
06:22that is so awful
06:23and heartless
06:25i remember her talking to me about it after you guys broke up
06:29she told me
06:30she'd always care about you
06:31yeah
06:32well
06:32we both know carly's a liar
06:35and
06:35she's no loss to me
06:37like i'm glad to be free of her
06:39my point is
06:40is this this battle
06:41that carly's waging
06:42says
06:42way more about her
06:44than it does about you
06:45you did everything you could
06:46to meet her halfway
06:47including
06:48moving into the gatehouse
06:50in the middle of hostile
06:51quarter main territory
06:52this
06:52none of this is your fault
06:55i don't think so either
06:57i am moving in here with you
06:59because
07:00obviously i want to
07:01but it's also good for the kids
07:03of course it's good for the kids
07:04you're providing them with a loving
07:05safe home
07:07that's
07:08that's what a good mother does
07:10okay
07:11and now you get to this side
07:13the kids
07:18they didn't hear anything
07:20they're still watching the movie
07:22and since carly is gone
07:23i turned down the volume
07:24a little
07:25thank god
07:26this was supposed to be
07:28a celebration date
07:29for them too
07:29well we're gonna have
07:30plenty of celebrating
07:31don't you worry about it
07:32i'm gonna make sure carly
07:33never steps foot in this house
07:34again
07:34maybe i should get
07:36a restraining order
07:37wait a second
07:38let's not do anything rash
07:40you were here
07:41you saw how out of control carly got
07:43she
07:44she literally almost hit willow
07:46yes true
07:46i was here
07:47and carly was clearly
07:49in the wrong
07:50an example of what not to do
07:52but we're
07:52we're not gonna gain anything
07:54or fix this
07:55if we're as extreme
07:57as carly was
07:58look it
07:59we have to stay
08:00calm
08:01and focus
08:03on compromise
08:04that's the only way
08:06that we are ever going to have
08:08any kind of peace
08:09peace
08:09really
08:10peace went out the window
08:11when carly raised her hand
08:13to willow
08:13not necessarily
08:14now we are the reasonable ones
08:18we stay cool
08:20and rational
08:21and it might work
08:22in our favor
08:23with the judge
08:24later
08:25i swear if that's carly
08:29i got it
08:30i got it
08:31congressman
08:35hi
08:36sorry to drop by
08:37without calling first
08:38curtis gave me your address
08:39it's not a bad time
08:41sweetheart
08:43kai asked me for my medical opinion
08:45i cannot disclose that
08:47so i guess that means that you can't tell me if you're gonna recommend the surgery or not
08:52i'm sorry honey
08:53i'm sorry honey i can't
08:54this is a complex situation
08:56and kai has a tough decision to make
08:59but it's his decision
09:01mom
09:01you don't understand
09:03he doesn't need the surgery
09:06he can live a perfectly good life with his spine the way it is
09:10but he wouldn't have a life with football in it
09:13and he truly cares about the game
09:15he wants a chance to play
09:16mom i know
09:17but
09:17he already accepted
09:19that he wasn't gonna play anymore
09:21he was working really hard
09:22to find some peace
09:23and he was moving on
09:25i know that you're concerned about kai
09:27but this feels like
09:29it's about something more than just him
09:31and the surgery
09:32like what
09:33like spencer
09:35i'd check my expectations if i were you ava
09:41this may not be the done deal that you think it is
09:44why is that
09:45because alexis may love her daughter
09:48but
09:49there is a chance that she might love her high-minded principles a little bit more
09:53no please
09:54alexis is not gonna let christina go to prison
09:57she knows that i have the videotape
10:00she also knows that even the mere accusation
10:04that christina almost killed molly's father
10:07will tear those girls apart
10:09probably for good
10:10sure it would
10:11then why aren't you confident alexis will cave
10:14ava
10:16over the years
10:18i have done my best to get under alexis's skin
10:21but there's something that i have never done
10:24you know i don't know what that is
10:25i've never underestimated her
10:27you see
10:28you think that you gave alexis 24 hours to
10:32make a decision
10:33but you also gave her 24 hours
10:36to come up with a strategy
10:38to save christina
10:39uh no i'm fine
10:43i'm still a long day at work
10:45what brings you here
10:46i told you she'd forget
10:48oh god did i forget another birthday
10:50no mom it's not that
10:53it's good because i'm still traumatized by missing yours last year
10:56yeah i know you really need to let that go
10:58that's not my strong suit
10:59mom
11:00welcome to
11:02your davis girls night
11:04noodle buddha and a movie
11:06right
11:08okay
11:11your phone please
11:14why
11:15because
11:17tonight
11:18we are
11:19unplugging and shutting out the rest of the world
11:21so that we can relax
11:22and have some fun
11:23come on
11:25doesn't that sound nice
11:26shut the world out for a little while
11:28forget your worries
11:29you know what
11:31it's exactly what i need right now
11:35mom
11:38this has nothing to do with spencer
11:41you sure about that
11:45honey you endured a horrific traumatic loss
11:50and kai is the first young man that you've had feelings for since then
11:54and you're worried you might lose him too
11:58i just don't want to watch something terrible happen to someone else i care about
12:03if kai gets back on that field
12:05i'll be stuck on the sidelines watching him get hit over and over again
12:10and i'll be praying that he won't get hurt
12:13but i know at any given moment
12:16he can be seriously injured
12:18and i don't know if i can go through that again
12:20you really care deeply for him don't you
12:23i'm sorry kai normally i would invite you in but um
12:29i'm kind of in the middle of a family crisis right now so whatever it is
12:33do you think you could wait till tomorrow
12:34of course no problem
12:35i hope everything's all right
12:36yeah it will be
12:37it will be
12:38we'll talk soon okay
12:39willow i'll be right back
12:45i just gotta handle something
12:46how can you ask me to compromise with a woman who compared me to nell
12:53we were twins but we were nothing alike
12:56no you're not like your sister
12:58carly just said that to push your buttons
13:00well she succeeded
13:02i already know i hurt michael i feel horrible about that
13:07but to imply that i never really loved him
13:11that i am more manipulative than nell
13:14that i'm trying to take wiley from him just like she did
13:18you were not your sister
13:19okay what carly said was a gross exaggeration
13:24why though are you so bothered by her comment
13:28i don't know
13:30maybe deep down if i'm being honest with myself
13:36i'm scared there's some truth to it
13:41i went in there and i laid down the law and willow wasn't having it i mean we both lost our tempers and then
13:48i told her she was taking advantage of michael
13:51being away and she said it was michael's choice to be in germany and not maryland and since he wasn't there he didn't get a say and i lost it
13:59wow i mean so you really think that drew's influence is rubbing off on it i used to think so and i used to think that if i could have two minutes i could find that kind compassionate woman but willow has changed and i told her so
14:13well i imagine that didn't go over too well
14:16no
14:17she
14:18she's so glued to the idea that she is the victim
14:21who just loves her children
14:22and has fallen in love with this man
14:24and everybody else does not know what they're talking about
14:28and the things she said about me and my son
14:30i lost it
14:30and
14:31i almost hit her
14:35but thank god nina text jason and he showed up and he stopped me
14:39okay so you never actually laid a hand on
14:42no i didn't i didn't
14:45okay
14:46well then
14:47as i see it
14:49you did exactly what needed to be done
14:52surgery
14:58i'm going to have the surgery
14:59your allegiance should be to the people of port charles and not to the local crime boss
15:04jen sidwell
15:05that's your father right
15:07general hospital on abc
15:11is somebody pressuring you to come after me
15:16come on i mean
15:19it's no secret that congressman kane and councilman boyle are trying to make an issue of my friendship with you
15:28they're trying to make the public believe that their mayor is uh protecting the local crime boss
15:35well that's not true
15:37and you know they're just bullying you
15:40don't let them
15:42i'm not
15:43i'm not sunny
15:44but the fact is
15:47i did intervene so that you could hold on to the peers i did not do it just because of you i did it because i believe that is the right thing for port charles
15:59case closed
16:01except that i've recently um
16:03come to realize that
16:06the location of the esplanade shouldn't be just up to me you know or or you for that matter or drew or boyle the esplanade is for the people of port charles right
16:20so they should decide where it goes
16:23you know how much i respect you right
16:26yes
16:27i just gotta disagree
16:28look
16:29i run a legitimate business from those peers
16:33if they try to take it from me
16:37i'm not gonna let them
16:40sonny
16:41wait please
16:43i need you
16:45to trust me on this one thing
16:48right now
16:49okay
16:49i have another reason for what i'm doing right now
16:54i can't really go into it
16:56come in
16:59hey
17:02oh
17:03is everything okay in here
17:05alexis may be good
17:10but she can't strategize away the evidence that we have
17:13we have actual video footage
17:16of christina looking at the car in my parking spot
17:19and picking up wire cutters
17:21plus i have your car
17:24how did you arrange that
17:26when i found out the brake lines had been cut
17:29i had it moved to a storage facility i used for the gallery
17:31it is now my most treasured piece of art
17:34impressive
17:36wait how did you manage that
17:39i bribed the mechanic of course
17:42he's also been paid to tell anybody else who comes looking
17:45that the car has already been through the crusher
17:47i deducted those bribes from what i owe you by the way
17:51fine
17:52but wait
17:53what if we need my car
17:56to prove christina's guilt
17:58i'll have it towed back to the impound lot
18:01and i'll call the pcpd
18:02any decent csi team will be able to establish that
18:06the brakes have been tampered with before the crash
18:09but you know what it's not going to come to that
18:11alexis is going to meet our demands
18:14noodle buddha was one of sam's favorite places
18:17doesn't it feel sort of odd to have it without her
18:20i think she'd be happy that we're still supporting a restaurant that meant so much to her
18:26meant so much to her that she and jason got married there
18:29i think she'd actually be really happy that the three of us are hanging out
18:35davis women back together
18:37i really have missed you
18:41like not having my sister close
18:45the only sister that i have left
18:47it was like a part of me was missing
18:50you know
18:51i'm so sorry that for a long time
18:54i made being so close impossible
18:57i haven't known kai that long
19:02but
19:03i've developed pretty strong feelings for him
19:08he's such a
19:12a kind
19:13and generous
19:14funny guy
19:16and he's not bad looking either
19:19no not at all
19:22i understand why you're so afraid to lose him
19:25you've always been so concerned about the people that you care about
19:30but honey you can't force them to live in a bubble
19:33but this isn't even just about me and my feelings
19:36i am genuinely scared for kai
19:38he's putting all his trust into drew kane in this miracle surgery
19:42what's gonna happen to him physically and emotionally if they fail him
19:46i have always been unnerved about being nell's fraternal twin
19:51i know our dna wasn't identical but
19:56it made me wonder if i had that capacity for cruelty
20:00and me too
20:02there's nothing cruel about you
20:03nothing at all
20:04it's not cruel to stand up for yourself
20:06it's not cruel to refuse to get verbally beaten up by someone
20:11then why have so many people turned against me
20:14people have treated me horribly and i haven't done anything
20:19wrong
20:21i can sort of see why nell felt
20:25misunderstood and angry at the world
20:28again you're not
20:30your sister
20:32nell was complicated
20:34and she suffered from a terrible childhood
20:37but my childhood wasn't great either
20:40i know
20:40i know it wasn't
20:42but nell was mentally unwell
20:46and you are not
20:48so i want you to forget about carly's comment
20:51i want you to look at everything
20:53that you have accomplished
20:55and what you have had to overcome
20:58to become this wonderful woman
21:00that you are
21:01and you know what
21:03wiley and amelia belong with you
21:06because you're a wonderful mother
21:09thank you
21:14yeah that's true
21:17with all of that said
21:19i still think that you need to compromise with michael
21:23and his family
21:25it's really
21:27nina
21:27can we just table that discussion for now please
21:32it's been a uh
21:33it's been an exhausting day
21:35and i think we all need a little time to decompress
21:38and uh
21:39we still have a lot of unpacking we need to do
21:42fine
21:45okay
21:46that's what you want
21:47try to relax
21:48okay
21:49tonight try and um
21:51you have a good evening
21:53okay
21:53love you
21:58you don't have to try and make me feel better
22:16i mean i know that i made things a thousand times worse for michael
22:20on the contrary i think you put necessary pressure on drew and willow now that they know you're coming after them
22:26they're gonna go on the attack
22:29how is that a good thing
22:30trust me carly
22:32you may have just helped michael win custody of his kids
22:35everything's fine
22:39your grandmother and i we just talking about business then you walk in and everything's good right
22:44uh grandma just said she'd help me prep for my debate after work
22:48but i can come back later
22:50no no no we're good it's it's you picked the right place
22:54grandmother's like a consummate public speaker
22:58um you know what i've got an idea
23:02uh would it be okay with you if your grandfather stayed to hear your speech i'm sure he'd love to hear it
23:09i mean if that is if you've got time right now
23:12yeah i mean that'd be great as long as you're not too busy
23:15no i'm never too busy for you two
23:18so let's go
23:19dazzle me
23:21if alexis doesn't want me to go to the cops or to molly
23:27and blow up her entire family
23:30she's gonna have to pay me
23:32she should be able to do it
23:34especially if she pays us in installments
23:36huh
23:37and here i thought the two of you had called a truce
23:40yeah well
23:42your perspective tends to change when attempted murder becomes part of the bargain
23:46you don't think that our desire for revenge is a mistake
23:51nope
23:52i don't know ava
23:54think about it
23:56and christina has definitely graduated from
23:58reckless and out of control
24:00she's clearly got a screw loose
24:02and i know i've said this before but it bears repeating
24:05if we don't bring christina to justice
24:08then she will be free to come after you again
24:10and i will constantly be watching my back
24:14all the money in the world won't do me any good if i'm dead
24:18christina most definitely wants me dead
24:22so
24:22is this plan really a good idea
24:25christina you have apologized enough
24:29i know but i just i really
24:32really miss this
24:33and i can't stop thinking about the
24:36terrible things that i
24:39did and
24:40said
24:41i feel guilty and i just wish i could take it all back
24:44me too
24:46but we've forgiven each other
24:48so now
24:49it's time to just move past it
24:51you don't know how much that means to me
24:54i do
24:55maybe this is the
24:58one good thing to come from my dad's accident
25:01i mean
25:03i wanted my sister back and it's brought us together again
25:07and i really i just i can't tell you how much it means
25:10to have you both supporting me through this
25:12we'll always be there for you
25:14yeah of course
25:16so um have you heard
25:19how's your dad doing
25:21i saw him earlier
25:23and um he was in a really upbeat mood
25:25so
25:26he still has a long road ahead of him
25:29but given the severity of the crash
25:31he and elizabeth are lucky to be alive
25:33they could have been killed
25:35well thank god they weren't
25:37i think both rick and elizabeth are gonna make a full recovery
25:41and once they do
25:43we will never have to think about this nightmare
25:45ever again
25:46thank god
25:48for your sake i mean
25:51thank god
25:53yeah
25:54you can't second guess kai
25:58it's his decision to make
26:00oh
26:02sorry
26:03um
26:04oh can you step outside for one second
26:06i gotta take this
26:07yeah sure
26:08thank you
26:09kai
26:16yes
26:17yeah i was able to do the research on the procedure
26:20would you like to stop by the office
26:22hey
26:25the box is uh
26:27they can wait
26:28come sit
26:29what can i do
26:35to help you feel better
26:38i know you said
26:42there's no way i'll lose my kids
26:44but michael listens to carly
26:47and after what happened here tonight
26:49she is going to push for him to be as mean and vindictive as she is
26:52i can handle michael
26:54there is only so much handling you can do
26:57when he needs to be
26:59michael can be ruthless
27:01and lethal
27:03that's why i was afraid to contact him
27:08and tell him about the kids moving in here
27:10yeah we decided not to give him the chance to be able to say no
27:13right
27:14and i think that made things worse
27:16if michael comes at me guns blazing
27:20how in the world am i going to stop him
27:23i fail to see how i helped michael's case
27:26as i understand it
27:28you have fought quite successfully for your children in the past
27:31am i right about that
27:32yeah absolutely
27:34okay
27:34so drew and willow know that
27:36they know you're not making empty threats
27:38you've done this before
27:39and you were relentless
27:41so what you've done today
27:43is a declaration of war
27:44i still don't see the silver lining
27:47history is the predictor of the future carly
27:51here's what's going to happen next
27:52willow is going to panic
27:54she's going to go into her damsel in distress mode
27:56which is going to prompt drew
27:58to be the knight in shining armor right
28:00yeah that sounds about right
28:01well here's the problem
28:03drew is so arrogant
28:04he's going to want to do something big
28:07and save the day
28:08and in doing so
28:09he will overreach
28:10and he will make a mistake
28:12and you will be able to use it against them
28:15you know what
28:20i can live with a little uncertainty
28:23especially if i'm being well compensated for it
28:26and i'll have enough money to hire security if i want to
28:29what about you
28:31are you getting cold feet
28:33you mean about keeping my mouth shut
28:36and not turning in christina
28:38well i guess i'm just gonna have to console myself
28:42with a fat wad of cash
28:45even if it means christina won't pay for what she did to you
28:49well i can't lose another sister
28:52despite how i feel about christina
28:55my daughter can't handle another tragedy more than she's already been through
28:59i understand
29:02you're a good dad
29:05on a less noble note
29:08alexis has always presented herself as this
29:12woman of integrity
29:13while she lectures me on my moral bankruptcy
29:16so
29:16if she has to swallow her self-righteous principles
29:20and embezzle money from the casadine estate
29:23over and over again
29:24well
29:27that sounds like justice to me
29:29hmm
29:30well i know that you would love to rub it in her face
29:33but alexis doesn't know you're involved
29:35and i think you ought to keep it that way
29:38as long as she doesn't know that you're a part of this
29:41it'll be smooth sailing for you and molly
29:44that's very generous of you
29:46just as long as you're not trying to keep me from my share of the cut
29:52okay
29:54movie time
29:56rom-com or legal thriller
29:58i vote rom-com
30:00anything upbeat
30:01i've had way too much drama in my life lately
30:03sounds like you're learning to let go of anger and resentment
30:07yeah i think i am
30:10not just
30:11in relation to my relationship with you molly
30:15but also
30:16you know about the baby
30:18i was just i was so consumed with my
30:21need for justice
30:23and i know that underneath all of that
30:25i just had this
30:27toxic need for revenge
30:29and i was swallowed up in it
30:32and i lost sight of what's important
30:34and that's not who i am
30:36it's a lot of self-reflection
30:38to come to that all on your own or
30:41are you in therapy
30:43both actually
30:45something mom's been telling me
30:47to do for a while now

30:55and that you're doing better
31:00but what do you think was it okay

31:52thank you
31:53thank you

31:55so proud
31:56thank you for sharing that with me
31:58bye grandpa
31:59all right
32:00bye
32:01bye
32:03wow
32:04great kid
32:05yeah
32:06maybe i should get him to uh
32:09make a case to the public about the esplanade
32:13okay
32:14listen sonny about that
32:16um
32:18i'll be honest with you
32:19one of the reasons i wanted the public to vote on the location of the esplanade was because i didn't want this thing coming between us
32:26i really didn't
32:28please tell me you understand
32:31maybe my mom is right
32:33maybe we need to compromise
32:35you have all the power right now
32:37it doesn't make any sense to give any of that away
32:40but i know carly
32:42what if she tries to take the kids somehow
32:45that's not gonna happen
32:47you're their only functioning parent and you have custody
32:50now
32:53god forbid something happens to you i will do everything in my power to take care of wiley and amelia and i will make sure that carly and tracy never get their hands on them
33:05but you can't guarantee that
33:08actually i can
33:09i have the answer right here
33:17please have a seat
33:19i looked into the procedure
33:22and i have to say
33:23this surgery is very cutting edge
33:26i'm surprised that drew even heard of it
33:29did he mention how
33:30no but i'm just really glad that he was looking out for me
33:34to be honest i was gonna tell him tonight that i'm ready to meet with dr mahinder and move forward with the surgery
33:40but he was in the middle of something so i didn't get the chance
33:43i'm sorry to hear that
33:44it's probably for the best
33:45i really do want to hear what you think
33:47so what do you find out
33:49well i've researched the procedure very thoroughly
33:52and if you want my honest opinion i cannot in good conscience recommend this surgery
33:56as you can see there there are dozens of cases where the surgery made no noticeable difference
34:06and there are three confirmed cases where the patients ended up paralyzed
34:10as a direct result of the procedure
34:13but there are successes too correct
34:16yes um there are two
34:19okay well i'm gonna be the third
34:22i'm gonna be the third
34:26what is this
34:28i had my lawyers draw them up i've been hanging on to them for a while
34:32but carly's insanity made me realize that i shouldn't really be putting this off
34:37putting what off?
34:40protecting our family
34:42our kids
34:45in the event that something happens to you
34:48you get hurt or incapacitated
34:50these papers would make me the legal guardian for wiley and amelia
34:56and they would make you the legal guardian for scout if something happens to me
35:00wow
35:02this is a huge step
35:05but a necessary one
35:08do you agree that
35:13this is a good idea
35:17yes
35:23yes
35:25carly won't stop until she gets her hands on my children and i have to protect them
35:31besides
35:33i trust you more than anyone in the world to look after my kids
35:38i mean you can take some time too i mean it's not a problem
35:40no
35:42i don't need any time
35:43this is exactly what i want
35:44trust me carly
35:48you're gonna use drew and willow's worst instincts against them and you're gonna win michael custody of his kids
36:06i don't know
36:09jason said what i did today is gonna cause everyone to take extreme positions and then i'm gonna make michael's custody battle even harder
36:18i see
36:20and what does jason think you should do
36:22suck it up and play nice
36:24and i hate it
36:26look jason was right to keep you from committing an act of violence that would have been a step too far
36:31but the only reason to play nice is to convince your opponent to compromise and i don't think a compromise is in the offing
36:38not with drew in the picture
36:40your only option is to trick your opponent to making a mistake
36:44you really think that's gonna happen
36:46i'm certain of it
36:48you laid the trap beautifully
36:51now all you have to do is sit back and wait for drew and willow to take the bait
36:55laura i respect that you're stuck between our friendship and your position as mayor it's a fine line to walk
37:07yeah
37:08and as i've been thinking
37:09i think you're right i think
37:14it's a good idea
37:17thank you sonny
37:19and for what it's worth
37:21i want the vote to go your way
37:23yeah me too
37:24yeah
37:25because if it doesn't you know my lord is gonna put up a hell of a fight
37:28i mean not with you
37:30yeah
37:32but
37:34rocco reminded me that
37:36we're family
37:37family
37:40and family always comes first
37:43always
37:47i would never cut you out of this deal
37:49i may have been the intended target but you're the one who almost died
37:53you deserve this payday as much as i do
37:56well just make it sure
37:58people can get a little shifty when it comes to sharing a jackpot like this
38:02oh we're not gonna have to share
38:04if alexis decides to protect her lunatic daughter
38:09she's gonna have to pay us double
38:12oh my god you took most of the noodles now you want most of the blanket too
38:14i'll settle for half but yeah i'll take most of your offerings
38:16mom hurry up we're about to start the movie

38:19i'll be right there

38:36i'll be right there
38:37on the next general hospital
38:49are you turning me down
38:51it would mean a lot to me if you were there by my side
38:53i'm afraid the price has gone up
38:55it would be nice if something good came out of it
38:57why is a detective investigating a car crash
39:00this is the only way to save your daughter
