00:00I heard you from up the path. Wow. You always give it everything you got, even when you're just
00:18playing for the ducks. All the ducks don't mind if I make a mistake. Seriously, Gio,
00:23you're a pro, which is why I'm hoping you will help me out. See, Lucy's got me in a
00:29real bind. Yeah, just give me a call and we can talk through the event from top to bottom. Okay?
00:38I hope you can do it. Okay, bye. Is everything okay? Oh yeah, that was just my girl, Melanie. She's an
00:45amazing lighting director and I want her to do the nurse's ball. I guess Lucy's guy, best why,
00:51he can't make it. Are you looking for Brooklyn? No, actually I was looking for you. Oh, okay.
00:59Yeah, I just wanted to say that I'm really glad you're back. Oh, that's really good to hear because
01:06honestly, Chase, I thought you'd never be happy to see me again.
01:13No sign of Alexis? Not yet. She's cutting in pretty clothes.
01:18Well, if she doesn't show, I'd just as soon turn Christina into the cops.
01:21Yes. Detective Pancaneri. You got a minute?
01:28To law enforcement? Always.
01:31Rick?
01:39Oh, there you are.
01:40All right, now you're sure you're ready for this.
01:48Yes. I got it. I got it.
01:50I wanted some peace and quiet at my own home.
01:52Don't hit my foot. No, no, no.
01:54I got it. Okay.
01:55You're good. Okay.
01:55Okay. Here we go.
01:57I can't wait to crawl into my bed.
01:59Welcome home!
02:00Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:02Oh!
02:03Oh!
02:03Oh!
02:04Oh!
02:04Oh!
02:04Oh!
02:05Oh!
02:06Oh!
02:07Oh!
02:08Oh!
02:09Oh!
02:10Oh!
02:10Oh!
02:10It's no fun playing catch-up, is it?
02:16Hey, thank you so much for coming to visit my dad with me.
02:20It really means a lot.
02:21Not a problem.
02:23But I know how you feel about him, and you have every right to, so I'd understand if it's
02:28too much to come in.
02:29No.
02:30I meant what I said last night.
02:32I want to put all the animosity for your dad and Ava behind me, and I just want to focus
02:37on being a good sister.
02:39Been a great sister.
02:44Okay.
02:45Okay.
02:46Okay.
02:47Dante.
02:48Hey.
02:49I wasn't expecting to see you here.
02:50Yeah.
02:51I was just heading out, actually.
02:52But it's good to see you, Molly.
02:54Rick.
02:55Here's to speedy recovery.
02:56Yeah?
02:58Thank you, Dante.
02:59I appreciate you stopping by.
03:00Hey, Christina, can I talk to you for a minute?
03:04Mm-hmm.
03:05Yeah.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Yes.
03:09Well, the individual in question has proven herself to be a danger to herself and others.
03:19As such, I am petitioning the court to expedite an involuntary commitment to a psychiatric
03:24facility.
03:25I will have those papers to you within the hour.
03:32Everything is set.
03:34Now, all I need are those.
03:36I can't.
03:37You can't.
03:38Okay, honey.
03:39I know that this is hard for you.
03:40An elegant understatement.
03:41But after what Christina has done, this is the only way to save your daughter.
04:06I have to admit, it's a little overwhelming.
04:21Still, it's Easter Island.
04:23You totally had to go.
04:25Yeah.
04:26No, for sure.
04:27And I have no regrets, but I sense there will be some all-nighters in my near future if
04:34you're trying to catch up in class.
04:36Yeah, it was like that for me, too.
04:38Like, when I first transferred to PCU, everyone already had their professors and had taken the
04:43right prerequisites.
04:45They had some kind of support system.
04:47You have a huge support system.
04:50Yeah, in real life, but not at PCU.
04:52And trust me, it was hard at first, but I found my footing, so I think that you will,
04:57too.
04:58Well, thank you.
04:59I needed to hear that.
05:01Sure thing.
05:02Anyway, I have to get to class, but I'll see you around.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Bye.
05:08Bye.
05:14Close.
05:20This is so wonderful.
05:21I can't believe you all are here.
05:23Oh, we wouldn't miss your homecoming?
05:25You guys are too much.
05:26And why does my house look cleaner than when I left?
05:30Lucky and Aiden have been working around the clock to make sure everything was perfect
05:34for you when you came home.
05:36So you've been spending time with Aiden?
05:38Oh, yeah.
05:39Cleaning?
05:40Yes, I can dust with the best of them.
05:42They've also set up a bedroom on the first floor for you, and Aiden has been cooking up a storm.
05:48Aw.
05:50I'll get it.
05:51I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally be home.
05:53I can imagine.
05:54Here I am, reporting for duty.
05:55You're not working today, are you?
05:56No, no, I just wanted to talk to you, but I can come back later if now's not a good time.
06:09I always have time for you.
06:12Sit down.
06:13Tell me what's going on.
06:15Um, it's Kai.
06:19Drew came and told him about this cutting-edge surgery that could help him play football again.
06:25Drew did?
06:26Yeah.
06:27And don't ask me why, but I doubt that he's doing this out of the kindness of his heart.
06:31This surgery is really risky, and Kai knows my concerns, but there's no changing his mind.
06:37And you know what?
06:39Drew had to know that if he dangled the surgery in front of Kai, he would be all in.
06:44Even I know how talented Kai is.
06:46He is, or was.
06:49I don't know, but it's just, it's unfair.
06:52If this procedure goes wrong, or if it doesn't work out, Drew loses nothing.
06:57But Kai, he's risking his health, and maybe even his life.
07:02Well, Lois, you're not an easy person to stay mad at.
07:07You really are the sweetest.
07:11And I know I put you in a difficult position.
07:14I encouraged Brooklyn not to tell Dante about the baby, and then all these years later, I also told her not to tell you who the baby's father is.
07:27And I know that was really difficult for you.
07:31Yeah, it is.
07:33I wouldn't blame you if you resented me.
07:36I did resent you.
07:38For a while.
07:39Because when I found out that Dante was the father, I put myself in his shoes.
07:44And if it were me, I'd want to know I had a child.
07:48So, Detective, am I under arrest?
07:51Not yet.
07:52I just want to ask you how our dad's doing.
07:55Dad's doing good, I think.
07:58He's not talking about pushing his surgery anymore.
08:01I'm good.
08:02Just got to get that done sooner than later.
08:03Yeah.
08:04I think it's been a huge relief that he was able to tell you.
08:07You know, he doesn't have to hide his health condition anymore.
08:10He never had to hide it in the first place.
08:12No.
08:13Silly.
08:14Anyway, thank you for getting him to tell me, Annie.
08:16I'll let you get back to whatever you're doing.
08:18Oh, no.
08:19It's fine.
08:20Molly's just catching up with her dad.
08:21Um, but I am dying to know, what is a detective doing investigating a car crash?
08:29I understand why you're hesitant.
08:32But Christina severely injured two people in attempting to kill a third.
08:38We have no choice but to commit her.
08:40There's got to be another choice.
08:42There just has to be.
08:43Alexis, if there is a police investigation on this, committing her now will allow us to
08:49have an insanity defense at the ready.
08:52You're doing the right thing here.
08:54I didn't sign it.
08:56I don't intend to.
08:58Shred it.
08:59Burn it.
09:00Delete the file.
09:01Alexis, involuntary commitment is the only way to protect Christina.
09:06What good will it do to protect my daughter if I destroy her in the process?
09:12Father, more than just about it.
09:15So I really wrestled with whether to tell Dante or not.
09:20He's not just my best friend.
09:21He's my partner.
09:23And I can't imagine how difficult that must have been.
09:26But partner or not, it's Brooklyn's secret.
09:30Not mine.
09:33I also can't be angry at Brooklyn for a decision that she made a lifetime ago.
09:39So I'm going to honor her choices.
09:43And I'm not going to say anything to Dante.
09:46So I am co-producing The Nurse's Ball with Lucy.
09:50And when I agreed to pitch in, you were the first person who came to mind.
09:53So how would you feel about doing a solo act?
09:57I'm flattered.
09:59I really do want to help, but...
10:02Are you turning me down?
10:04It's just that I don't think the violent solo act would be the best fit.
10:09The last thing that I want to do is stop the show in the bad.
10:14When will this guy get off the stage?
10:16Kind of thing.
10:17I mean, classical music for the wrong audience puts people right to sleep.
10:23Okay, I guarantee you that's not going to happen.
10:25Not with me as your producer.
10:29I'll be with you eight hours a day.
10:31I've set timers for all your medications.
10:33And Dr. Nash wants you well hydrated.
10:35So you'll need to drink three to four liters of water each day.
10:39That's a lot of water.
10:42It's what the doctor ordered.
10:43And once you're ready, we'll schedule your PT.
10:47Great.
10:48We also need to toss out any foods that could cause inflammation.
10:52Inflammation, right.
10:53Okay, I'll look in the fridge and take care of that.
10:56That'd be great.
10:57Here's a list of the foods that need to go.
10:59Oh.
11:00You know, while Lucky's doing that, how about you and I take a look at the new first floor setup?
11:04Well, seems like your care is going to be quite thorough.
11:11Yes, it does.
11:13How did you end up with Amy as your home nurse?
11:17I'm guessing Terry.
11:19Do you remember doing anything that would make Terry want to punish you?
11:23Stop.
11:24She's an excellent nurse.
11:26It certainly seems that way.
11:28Elizabeth is going to need a humidifier and it needs to be refilled every two hours and cleaned at the end of the day.
11:36Okay, she's already too much.
11:41Oh, please tell me there is a cheese danish in that bag.
11:46Sorry.
11:47Just this.
11:49Double espresso.
11:50Don't tell the nurses.
11:52My daughter, you are as always an angel.
11:56I would love to take all the credit, but it was actually Christina's idea.
12:01Was it now?
12:02No, I was here taking a statement.
12:05And I thought I'd stop in and see how my uncle was doing.
12:08Oh, just visiting Uncle Rick?
12:11Yeah, you know something my mom would want me to do?
12:14Bensonhurst thing?
12:15You know you've got family in the hospital.
12:16You stop in and check on them regardless of how you feel about them.
12:19Nice.
12:20No, what's nice is that you and Molly are talking again.
12:24Yeah, her dad's accident really changed everything.
12:28I realized that my sister really needs me and I really need her.
12:35Okay, explain it to me please.
12:37What has happened?
12:38What made you change your mind?
12:40Christina and Molly came over last night and they were loving each other and laughing with each other.
12:47And I know that Christina needs the support and the love of her family.
12:52And if I send her away, it will shatter her trust in me.
12:57Okay.
12:59I know firsthand how hard you have worked to repair your relationship with Christina.
13:06But trust me, at some point she will understand that you were just putting her well-being first.
13:11I know my daughter and I know that she will never forgive me if I do this.
13:18Not just because I'm taking away her freedom, but I would be the one that would destroy her relationship with her sister for good.
13:26My mother was going to talk to Kai and hopefully advise him against the surgery.
13:33Well, I'm sure she will get through to him.
13:35I don't think it will matter what my mom will say.
13:38I'm pretty sure that he's going to go ahead with the surgery.
13:41But there's a chance that it will be a success, right?
13:47I would love to believe that.
13:50And I know that I can't stop Kai from taking risks just because it scares the hell out of me.
13:58But I still think he's making the wrong decision.
14:02When you told him about your concerns, what did he say?
14:06He just...
14:08He just wants me to support his decision, whatever it is.
14:11But how am I supposed to do that if I think it's the wrong decision?
14:14Well, it'll be hard, but ultimately, Trina, you have to respect his right to make this choice for himself.
14:27Can you do me a huge, huge, huge favor and help Amy?
14:31She wants to move your mom's hospital bed, and I need a break.
14:35She's so intense.
14:40Wish me luck.
14:44So, how's Operation No Inflammatory Food going?
14:48Oh, fabulous. I have no idea what I'm doing.
14:53With a fridge or Elizabeth?
14:56I am so happy you're back in Lucky's life.
14:59Me too.
15:01As much as I hate being in this cast, I know it'd be a million times worse if he wasn't here.
15:08I'm sure he'd be really happy to hear that.
15:13I'm also very happy to have you and Lulu here.
15:17It's with Cameron and Jake away at school.
15:21This would be a lot for just Aiden and me.
15:25It means the world knowing I have family I can rely on.
15:30And you always will.
15:32Listen, I may not say this enough, but you're a very important part of this family.
15:38It's good. I'm glad you and Molly are seeing eye to eye.
15:43Yeah, but what do you and Rick possibly have to talk about?
15:48Spring training.
15:50No, seriously, sports is progress, you know?
15:52I'm thinking maybe this near-death experience will make him loosen up a little bit and let go of some of his grudges.
15:59Yeah.
16:01Do you think it's really possible?
16:04I mean, like when there's been so much bad that's happened, do you think it's really possible to move on?
16:11You know what? Here.
16:13I changed my mind. You can have it.
16:15It's probably going to upset my stomach with the meds and everything, so.
16:19Oh. Okay.
16:21So, um, what did Dante want?
16:24Uh, just wanted to check up on me, I guess.
16:28Since when?
16:29Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm surprised myself.
16:33I, uh, I never had much to say to Dante.
16:36He didn't have anything to say to me.
16:38Figured that he carried the same opinion of me as his father.
16:43You know, it's funny.
16:44I thought that he actually came by here to investigate the, uh, the accident.
16:50It's an accident.
16:52What's there to investigate?
16:54Oh, you know, the mystery of black ice and spring.
16:58No mystery there. Just upstate New York.
17:03Yeah, you know, I'm glad he came by.
17:06I'd really like the opportunity to get to know Dante a little bit better.
17:10You should. Dante's a great guy.
17:13I mean, I would obviously prefer that you were never in an accident in the first place.
17:18But, wouldn't it be nice if something good came out of it?
17:22You're being my nephew?
17:24Or are you and your sister?
17:25Or are you and your sister?
17:27If I commit Christina, Molly will want to know why.
17:31And if she finds out that Christina tried to kill her father, they're done.
17:38And then I lose what's left of my family.
17:41Fine, but if there's a police investigation, Molly's gonna find out anyway.
17:46Wouldn't it be better if she heard it from you?
17:49And if there is no investigation, I've destroyed my family for nothing.
17:56Molly is so level-headed.
17:58Won't she finally be relieved that Christina is getting the help she needs?
18:03Molly will know it's a legal strategy.
18:06Well, she very well might.
18:08But honestly, Alexis, I cannot think of another way to keep Christina out of prison.
18:14She cut the brakes on Rick's car. We cannot deny that.
18:18So our options, legally speaking, are limited.
18:22I know that.
18:23But committing her can't be one of them.
18:26Diane, listen.
18:28The only way to handle this situation is to keep quiet and cover it up.
18:35For meeting me here.
18:49Yeah, of course.
18:50I can never say no to the surf lodge.
18:52So what's up?
18:53There's something important I need to tell you.
18:56I have a pretty good idea of what it is.
18:58Trina, this surgery, your mom is against it and she thinks it's a long shot.
19:03And she's right.
19:04You mean-
19:05But I've been the odds before.
19:07Game football means way too much to me to just lie down and surrender.
19:10So if there's even a chance I can get back into the game, I need to take it.
19:15So what you're saying is that you're-
19:16I'm going to have the surgery.
19:18When it comes to Brooklyn, you know I can't take all the credit because she's always been special.
19:28Yeah.
19:30But you know, there's-
19:32This has been on my mind lately.
19:36It's been on all our minds.
19:37Yeah, I was thinking about, um, when she gave birth.
19:44Right?
19:46She didn't want to hold the baby.
19:49Because she knew that if she did, she would never let it go.
19:55I mean, from day one, she's put her child's needs above her own.
20:02I'm not surprised.
20:03And not that Brooklyn doesn't have a selfish side.
20:06Oh, believe me, I know.
20:08Yeah, but-
20:10I mean, not a day has gone by that she hasn't loved that child with her whole heart.
20:15You know, this couldn't have been easy on you either.
20:17After all, you have a grandkid you've never met.
20:20Yeah, yeah, but I, you know, I put faith in the nuns that they found the right adoptive parents for him.
20:29You know, and I-
20:31I choose to believe that my grandchild is healthy and loved.
20:39Gio, please.
20:41I've seen you play in how you light up in front of an audience.
20:45So, what do you say?
20:50Okay.
20:52I'll do it.
20:53Fantastic.
20:55It is fantastic.
20:56It's a nurse's ball for crying out loud.
20:59I'm so psyched that you'll be produced for me.
21:02Not Lucy.
21:03Not that there's anything wrong with that.
21:05She seems-
21:06No, no, no, no, no.
21:07There is plenty wrong with Lucy, so just stick with me, kid.
21:11I'd say I'm gonna make you a star, but you already are one.
21:13We are gonna knock their socks off.
21:16Elizabeth and I have been spending a lot of time together already, but this accident has really thrown us together.
21:24Are you worried you're gonna get sick of each other?
21:27No.
21:28No, no.
21:29I mean, I'm gonna take care of her in any way I can for as long as she'll have me.
21:34How valiant.
21:35Selfless, even.
21:36Okay, okay.
21:37Hang on.
21:38Look, I know this sounds selfish, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind for the two of us.
21:45Right.
21:46I know you were supposed to be reliving your greatest hits in the city or something.
21:50Sounds a bit flippant, but sort of.
21:53Don't let me interrupt.
21:54I just came to get Elizabeth a cup of tea.
21:57Ah, well, I guess I'm a mind reader.
22:00Yeah.
22:01Here, I got it.
22:07So tell me, how are you?
22:10Oh, I'm good.
22:14And I would believe that, except I've always known when you're holding something back.
22:18I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm really not.
22:23I admire your attempt to throw me off, but I'm your mother.
22:29Okay, I'll guess.
22:31That has something to do with Elizabeth?
22:34Are you sure you're gonna be okay with Amy?
22:37I know she's a lot, but she has a really good heart and she's an amazing nurse.
22:42She made me move your bed four times.
22:46And she won't let you have your comforter?
22:48Something about dust mites?
22:51And she's gonna be here eight hours a day.
22:54Every day?
22:55Okay, about that.
22:57Are you sure about this, Mom?
22:59Give me a few weeks, I'll be back on my feet.
23:02And until then, you and me, we can get through anything.
23:07That's true, we really can.
23:09Famous last words.
23:13Well, no wonder you were cramming.
23:15Honestly, Joss, and I don't mean this in a rude way, but I cannot believe that they let you into Dalton's class.
23:20I mean, I had to beg to be admitted off of a waitlist, so for you to just join after missing three weeks is like...
23:25I know. I'm, I'm very grateful they let me in.
23:28Especially now.
23:30And Dalton seems incredible.
23:32You're clearly the star student.
23:34I mean, he loved your explanation on thermal connectivity.
23:37Yeah, well, he lectured on that two weeks ago, and I studied my notes right before class, so...
23:42Basically, I got really lucky.
23:44So you impressed him.
23:46You certainly did.
23:47You retain me as your lawyer, but I'm your friend first.
23:57I know what a wonderful mother you are.
23:59I have witnessed first-hand the extraordinary measures that you have taken for your daughters.
24:06But...
24:08But, what you suggested just now?
24:10That scares me.
24:12Christina committed a serious crime.
24:15You wanting to cover it up?
24:18That could have serious consequences.
24:21For her, and for you.
24:22We're gonna have to cross that bridge when we come to that.
24:26Fine.
24:28Fine.
24:30If Christina gets arrested, I will do everything in my power.
24:34To protect her, and to protect you.
24:39That means so much to me.
24:44Yeah, well, I'm charging you double.
24:46Because you, uh...
24:47You didn't take my advice.
24:49Die.
24:54I know what I'm doing.
24:56I know that it seems unreasonable.
24:59But I have to do it.
25:00Thank you for helping me.
25:02But I'm gonna take it from here.
25:19Professor Dalton.
25:21Ella.
25:23Emma, actually.
25:24Emma Scorpio Drake.
25:25Forgive me.
25:26Emma.
25:27So, I just want to come by and commend you on your performance in class today.
25:29It was, uh...
25:30It was really refreshing.
25:32But I wouldn't have understood your lecture two weeks ago,
25:34let alone answered any of those questions.
25:36Okay, well, that's good.
25:37That means you're listening.
25:38And, uh...
25:39Not everybody does that, so...
25:41Well, you're so easy to listen to.
25:43Hi.
25:44I'm Jocelyn Jacks.
25:46Today was my first lecture with you.
25:48Oh, sorry.
25:50Today was your first class.
25:52Yes.
25:53I've been away on a graduate trip to Easter Island.
25:56But I'm back now, and I'll be there the rest of the semester.
26:01Okay.
26:02Uh...
26:03Fair warning.
26:04I don't really teach the kind of class you can just start late, but...
26:08Of course.
26:09I can tell.
26:10Um, but I'm very determined, and I find the subject just fascinating.
26:16Okay.
26:17That's...
26:18That's something, at least.
26:19Okay?
26:21So, Emma...
26:22I'm, uh...
26:23Accepting an undergraduate research assistant this summer, and...
26:27I really think you should apply for it.
26:30Okay.
26:31Okay?
26:32Alright, cool.
26:33Well...
26:34That's just...
26:35Nice to see you.
26:36You, too.
26:39I guess I know what I'm gonna be doing this summer.
26:42Okay.
26:43I won't tell you how to run your life.
26:45Actually, uh...
26:46A little advice wouldn't be the worst thing right now.
26:50Alright.
26:51In that case, I would say trust Elizabeth.
26:54Because you, too, have always had such a powerful connection.
26:59I really want you to be right.
27:02I am.
27:03Yeah.
27:04You, too, have had a very special connection since you were just kids.
27:07So, whatever it is that you're worried about telling her, just be brave and say it, you know?
27:13Be honest with her.
27:15You're sure?
27:17Absolutely.
27:19And that's all the meddling I'll do.
27:22You're not meddling.
27:24I mean, I actually appreciate the advice, and...
27:27You know, I kind of missed it when I was away.
27:30Somehow I doubt that.
27:31No, no, I didn't.
27:32Really?
27:33I didn't even hear your advice in my head.
27:36Didn't always follow it.
27:38But I could hear it.
27:40That's because I'm your mom.
27:42I'll always be with you.
27:51Everybody ready to play?
27:53Oh, absolutely.
27:54Although I can never remember all the two-letter words.
27:57Q-I-J-O-Z-A.
27:59Very important.
28:00Guess who knows who's gonna win.
28:02Again.
28:03Okay, Elizabeth.
28:04Time for your nap.
28:06But we just set up the game.
28:08And you can keep it set up for later.
28:11Or...
28:12Um, actually, you know what?
28:13It's for the best because I have a press event that I have to get to.
28:17So we'll play next time.
28:18Okay, sweetheart?
28:20Okay.
28:21Love you, Grandma.
28:22I love you, too, honey.
28:24You take care of yourself.
28:27Everyone's doing that for me.
28:28All right, see you all.
28:31Hey, Lou.
28:34Please, whatever you do,
28:36don't leave us alone with that woman.
28:40I wish you would say something.
28:42Okay.
28:45I'll say that...
28:47I have concerns.
28:48And I feel like you're being rushed into having a risky procedure.
28:52And no, I don't like that Drew's the one who's making it all happen.
28:56Okay, Trina, I understand how you feel about the guy.
28:58But this surgeon is legit.
29:00And I'm fully aware of the risk, okay?
29:02I'm going in with my eyes open.
29:05Okay.
29:06I guess that's all you can ask for, I guess.
29:08I have a good feeling about this.
29:10I've got to go for it.
29:12And it would mean a lot to me if you were there by my side.
29:17Has Christina ever apologized to you for saying that Irene was not your daughter?
29:21She has.
29:23And she's acknowledged all her mistakes.
29:25And while we were waiting for you to regain consciousness after the accident,
29:30she was my rock.
29:31I mean, I honestly don't know what I would have done without her.
29:34Yeah.
29:35In difficult circumstances, people can rise to the occasion.
29:38She really did.
29:41What about when the crisis is over?
29:44Will she still deserve your trust?
29:46Look, Christina is a flawed person.
29:48And I'm not going to kid myself into thinking that we'll be in perfect harmony for the rest of our lives.
29:53But I really think that this time is different.
29:57How so?
29:58Because now we know what we stand to lose.
30:03Well, I know it's possible to move on.
30:06How?
30:08Because I did it.
30:10After my assignment with the WSB, I was in bad shape, dangerously.
30:14So, you know, there was a lot of setbacks, but eventually I was able to move on and put that part of my life behind me.
30:23I want to believe that, but I don't know, there's parts of my life I don't think I'm ever going to be able to forget.
30:32So what, you don't think you can move on?
30:34It doesn't seem possible.
30:36Well, it is.
30:37And I see you putting in the work, which is good and proud of you.
30:42How do you do?
30:49Oh, there you are.
30:50Here I am.
30:51And I can see you're on your way out.
30:53Don't let me keep you.
30:54Oh, no, no.
30:55I don't think you want that.
30:57See, you see, I didn't think you'd be coming, so I was just on my way to the DA's office to have a chat with Molly.
31:03No need to tighten the screws, Ava.
31:06You're getting exactly what you wanted.
31:09Meaning?
31:10Meaning that I've had the funds from Casadine Estate transferred into a Swiss bank account.
31:16From there, they'll be transferred into your account in installments.
31:21The first one should be arriving as we speak.
31:23By July, you should have every dime of your divorce settlement back.
31:30Was that so hard?
31:33You have no idea.
31:35Our business is now concluded.
31:38Oh, about that.
31:40I'm afraid the price has gone up.
31:43My divorce settlement is a great start.
31:48But that's not all I want.
31:54And I'll have your back.
31:57Oh, I see what you did there.
31:58No.
31:59You'll have my back.
32:00No, that was not pun intended.
32:01Too late.
32:04Just wait and see and I'll be back on the field in no time.
32:07Okay, and all of this will have been worth it.
32:14Amy, I'm really not tired.
32:16Maybe not yet, but you will be.
32:20I guess I can read in bed.
32:21Oh, I think we left your book in the car, but I'll go get it.
32:29Hey, don't worry. Everything will work out fine.
32:32Famous last words.
32:42Hold up.
32:44Okay, you know what?
32:46I have to go back in there, but you can still make a break for it.
32:48Oh, I am.
32:49Look, Amy is not going to work out.
32:52She might be a great nurse, but she is a bad fit.
32:55I agree, but there may not be another option.
32:58There is.
33:00You.
33:01Gio?
33:02Did I just hear you play something from this century?
33:14Was it okay?
33:15Okay, it was amazing as usual.
33:19I'm trying out some new pieces for the nurse's ball.
33:22You're playing at the nurse's ball?
33:24That's wonderful.
33:25You're going to be great.
33:26Brooklyn's going to make sure of that.
33:28She's producing my act.
33:30That's even more wonderful.
33:32I love the fact that the two of you are teaming up.
33:36Yeah, me too.
33:37You know, my mom always used to say that you can practice on your own all you want, but the only way you grow as an artist is to work with other artists.
33:47That the right collaborators are key to becoming great.
33:51That Camilla was pretty wise.
33:56Yeah, she was.
33:59She was the best.
34:01My mom was always looking out for me.
34:04She, uh, still is, in a way.
34:11Of course she is.
34:16Hey, thanks for sticking around.
34:18Hey, of course. You're worth the wait.
34:22Hmm.
34:23You also saved me from needing to track you down.
34:25Lucy wants to know what song you'll be performing this year at the nurse's ball.
34:29Oh, I don't know if I'm up for that.
34:31What?
34:32Oh, come on, you have to. You're the best. It won't be the same without you.
34:38Okay, well, I'm afraid I'll need some kind of incentive.
34:43Okay, well, what do you have in mind?
34:45Well, I'm not saying I'll do it, but if I do, I would need a very hands-on producer.
34:52Really? How hands-on?
34:54Oh, extremely.
34:56I would need help with music, choreography, getting into wardrobe, getting out of wardrobe.
35:03Oh, well, in that case, sign me up.
35:09Ava, the whole point of you blackmailing me was to get your divorce settlement back, which you got back.
35:17So now, what has changed?
35:20Well, the divorce settlement money was already mine.
35:23I mean, you're just giving me back what was stolen from me in the first place, right?
35:26And what do you feel entitled to now?
35:30Compensation.
35:32You have to pay for your daughter's attempt on my life.
35:36And for the pain and suffering that Rick is enduring as we speak.
35:40And how is my paying you compensating, Rick?
35:43What I do with my money is my business.
35:46You just keep those payments coming, okay?
35:54Oh!
35:56The first payment has been deposited into my account just now.
36:00In that case, I'll be going.
36:02Just one more thing.
36:06What now?
36:08Keep a leash on that daughter of yours.
36:10Or the price for my silence might just skyrocket.
36:21I want to believe that I can move on, but I've made some pretty terrible choices in my life.
36:28And I was really trapped by rage and hate.
36:32Yeah, but now you can see it, right?
36:35And you can stop it.
36:37Or, you know, you can try.
36:38You're right. I have to try.
36:41I have to, because I'm not going to let all of the things that went wrong in my life hold me back.
36:46Listen.
36:48I know what it's like to be estranged from a sibling.
36:53Do you ever wish things could be different between you and Uncle Sonny?
36:58No.
37:00Things were different.
37:02Briefly.
37:04One spot at a time.
37:05Mom just kept telling us that we were going to need each other someday.
37:11Especially with Sam gone.
37:15And we both put up a hell of a fight.
37:19But Mom wouldn't let it go.
37:22And she was right.
37:23She was right.
37:25And now I have my sister back.
37:26I'm glad Alexis could give that to you.
37:40Me too.
37:42Professor Dalton only invited you to apply, right?
37:47So, you're still competing against other applicants?
37:52Yeah, of course.
37:54I mean, Dalton is a world-renowned physicist doing groundbreaking research.
37:57So, pretty much everyone wants that assistantship.
38:02He did single me out, though.
38:04Yes.
38:06That is good news.
38:08Right.
38:09So, now I just need to spend the rest of the semester proving why I'm the best person for the job.
38:15Can't wait to work with him.
38:18See you around, Joss.
38:30On the next General Hospital.
38:32Everything that happened was all part of my master plan.
38:35But looking the other way just doesn't work for me anymore.
38:37You and I have so much in common.
38:40I'm gonna terminate him immediately.
38:42I have a better idea.
38:43I've got some questions for you.
