01:51i do find myself
01:55liking some of your positions
02:00which ones in particular actually just one
02:05the position where you put sunny corinthos out of business
02:15thank you for meeting with me i'm glad you called
02:19things sound like they're getting pretty dire
02:21drew is out of control and we need to do something to stop him before he costs my daughter her children

02:44anyway thank you for circling back around there's something i need to talk to you about before i head

04:00and the location of the esplanade must be left to the people
04:04because the people never get anything wrong
04:07i don't want to talk about the esplanade
04:10nobody gives a damn about the esplanade
04:13in fact if i never hear the word esplanade ever again
04:16it will be too soon
04:18well that's what the referendum is about
04:22please do not talk to me like i get my news from social media
04:26your referendum has absolutely nothing to do with a sidewalk
04:32then what do you think it's about
04:34i think it's about getting rid of an extremely dangerous criminal element in poor charles
04:41sonny corinthos has wormed his way into the graces of far too many important people
04:46some of whom i actually like
04:49and my only regret is that it's taken this long to come up with the perfect way to shut him down
04:55well i couldn't agree more
04:57but i do have just one question

07:04old but functioning
07:05garbage disposal
07:07looks like you're back on your feet
07:09not quite but
07:12soon
07:14even though
07:16we can't have children of our own
07:19chase and i would like to start a family
07:22very much
07:23so we've decided to explore adoption
07:26oh
07:27it meant so much to brooklyn that her baby go to a loving home
07:30we thought adoption would be a nice way to pay it forward
07:33well i think that's an amazing idea and i'm all for it and
07:38i'll do whatever i can to help
07:40great
07:40you can help right now
07:42right now okay
07:44oh well
07:45adoption
07:46becoming adoptive parents is a
07:48really complicated process
07:51and
07:52yeah it's like they want the parents to be trustworthy and loving and a good
07:55match for the kids i mean crazy right
07:57let's just say that the adoption process is complicated
08:01but there is one thing that we do know for sure
08:04well one thing at a time is the way to get through the process
08:09we want to use the same agency that placed my baby
08:12i'm not going to go after willow with a knife
08:18well that's good to know
08:20but i am going to go after her
08:21okay
08:22all right
08:23then let's let's hear it
08:24let's hear it
08:25so michael served willow with divorce papers when she was shacking up with drew in dc
08:29but there was no follow-through because of the fire and michael had to go to germany
08:33right and while michael has been in germany willow has been able to live out her
08:38romantic delusional fantasy with drew with no consequences whatsoever
08:42like losing her children
08:43okay what did you do
08:45i told diane to start prepping for michael's custody battle
08:49is she gonna inform willow
08:54well she will once there's a date but diane thinks that's far off
08:58which is fine with me
08:59okay what if michael's not ready
09:01well if we have to postpone it we will
09:03but we are going to be ready to go once michael's feet hit the ground here in port charles
09:08and i can't wait to see the look on willow's face
09:10and michael is going to walk into that courtroom
09:13loaded with tons of evidence that proves that willow is an unfit mother
09:17i just don't think this is a good idea we don't even know what michael wants
09:21with michael in the state he's in i don't think taking extreme action is in our best interests
09:27we talked about this it's not extreme i mean you're still michael's medical proxy
09:33we are not using that to leverage anyone again for any reason
09:37i'm not saying that we should no that's that's not what i'm saying like
09:41considering your position nobody is filling you in on michael's medical condition
09:46carly does update me whenever i ask michael's doing a lot better
09:52better you sure about that because all we have is carly's word that michael's doing better what
09:58if he's what if he's getting worse and then what if god forbid something happens to you
10:04i really don't want to talk about this neither do i but we do have to consider
10:08all the possible outcomes do we have to do it right this second
10:13i'm just saying what if michael succumbs to his injuries and then
10:17you become incapacitated it has to be super clear in the eyes of the law that those kids
10:24don't end up with carly i appreciate you doing the right thing by trying to legally protect my
10:30children i will do anything but before this goes any further there is still one person i need to face
10:37my husband
10:42you and grandma handled everything so i never even knew the name of the agency
10:46maybe you told me and i blocked it out either way i i don't remember now it was a long time ago
10:53but knowing you and grandma you probably vetted the agency within an inch of its life
10:57just yesterday you mentioned how grateful you were to the nuns that they would have chosen a family
11:01with care yeah the sisters were wonderful which is why we thought it would be a great place to
11:06start looking for a child of our own so what was the name what's this i hear about a child
11:16you and me both but that seems to be a pattern with drew no matter how many people he alienates
11:30there still seems to be plenty of others that fall right under his spell because that man is a master
11:36manipulator i have never seen anything like it somehow he uses half truth and subtle pressure
11:45to convince people to do what he wants and then he makes it seem like it was their idea he does that
11:50with willow every time he talks with her he has convinced her that it's the two of them against the
11:56world and she never questions him despite the fact that everyone has warned her about how manipulative
12:02he is which is insane because he's not even subtle about it he tried to manipulate curtis into
12:08giving him controlling interest of aurora again of course he did that's when i saw who drew really was
12:17and it changed my perception of him for good you know he's never going to show willow any other side
12:23of him besides hero drew she doesn't really know who he is if only she knew what he was capable of
12:30what he's done nina if you know that drew is hiding something from willow the simplest way to drive them
12:37apart is to tell her my son wants his children back yes when you were in germany did you talk to michael
12:47did he say anything to you no jason it was too early in the treatment for that okay what about on the phone
12:53i mean he's tired and he's in a lot of pain and i don't want to push him so there's a lot of
12:58hi bye i love you so what about you did you talk to him no i did we managed to have two conversations
13:04that lasted about i don't know three minutes but all i could all i could get from him is that he wants
13:10his kids to be okay that's what i'm doing i'm trying to make sure his kids are okay but you don't
13:15you don't know what michael means by okay and neither do i the only two people can fix this
13:19are willow and michael well that would be nice but willow is too enthralled with drew
13:24i don't even think she remembers she has a husband anymore he remembers willow was going
13:29to germany to see michael you're gonna go visit michael that's the plan
13:41you don't approve no no it's not that it's um i'm surprised i should have gone to see michael myself
13:51a long time ago because like you said we don't know anything for sure about michael's current
13:55condition that's true i did say that i need to see him for myself so i'm going to bodden bodden
14:02i gotta say that's uh that's a bold move it's necessary if carly is lying about michael's progress
14:11then we will know what legal action to take well i'm glad that you're thinking about this strategically
14:15regardless the sooner i know about michael's current condition the better and if carly is
14:20telling the truth and michael is improving then i think that he and i will be able to have a
14:23productive conversation about the kids i don't know i mean he filed for divorce he demanded soul
14:29custody do you really think that he's gonna want to talk when michael served me those papers in dc
14:35that hurt because it was petty and cruel but michael isn't not the michael i know well then we know
14:45two very different michaels that's between the two of you just like this is between michael and me
14:53because of the accident you mean the assassination attempt on sunny michael hasn't even had the chance
15:00to explain his actions to me i only have carly's take on it i need to hear it from him i know you
15:08think you do but you might not like what he's got to say maybe not michael and i made a lot of
15:17mistakes and there's a reason our marriage didn't work but we did care for each other and even when
15:23things were off the one thing we could always agree on was the kids you mean the kids that he's
15:30trying to take away from you which also is not like him even that horrible night with the video when
15:36everything fell apart michael stood up to carly and he let me take wiley and amelia with me because
15:41he knew the children belonged with me you never mentioned wanting to go see michael before so so what
15:48changed i spoke with the one person who knows michael better than anyone i talked to jason
15:59well i can't thank you enough no thanks needed just results well i am confident that the referendum
16:08will go our way but it is not a slam dunk are you asking me for more money i will always take it
16:18but what i'm saying is uh sonny corinthos has some powerful friends that are perfectly fine with the
16:25status quo i am not fine with the status quo and i am not the only one i hope that's true
16:33but if you do align yourself with us um you will be going up against sonny's powerful friends which
16:40as our illustrious mayor
16:48ezra making amends to your constituents whose families you tried to have disinterred
16:54actually the councilman has promised me to make every effort he will make it up to me absolutely
17:01in the meantime madam mayor you should know we've got some internal polling on the referendum
17:07then i look forward to reading about it in an email well i'll just bottom line it for you
17:13sunny corinthos's days on the piers numbered then they're numbered now if you'll excuse us please
17:21you are an astute politician laura given the way the wind is blowing it might be wise for you to jump
17:30on board with our position
17:34ezra unlike you i don't choose my position based on the polls i'm always doing what's best for poor
17:42charles councilman you have your money go put it to good use preferably as far away from us as you can
17:49get very well good day ladies
18:01you gave him money you know you can't trust that guy don't trust him he's lonesome
18:07but i think you need to listen to him
18:15i've been looking for a new job to go with the new place and i think i found something perfect oh
18:22that's great uh what do you want to do well i have been reaching out to my old contacts at the invader
18:30i've been pitching myself as a long-form journalist wow you are a fantastic reporter
18:39where do you want to work i'm going to start with freelance
18:43so i'm casting a wide net but i had a really great call with the managing editor at the landview banner
18:49and she said she'll be calling me soon that's good except you know that kind of sounds like what
18:55they say when i know when they're gonna let you down easy but i just i feel really good about this
19:02one and if it works out i get to make my own hours which will leave me plenty of times to be with the
19:08kids well they'll love that especially rocco is everything okay something going on with him yeah no no
19:16he's good he hasn't said anything to me i just uh i feel like maybe he could use his mom right about
19:22now you told willow to go see michael in germany i did
19:31why were you even talking to her willow brought the kids over to see monica and she tracked me down
19:36she wanted me to stop you from taking her kids just like i stopped tracy you're gonna stop no i'm
19:43gonna tell you what i told her only willow and michael can figure out this custody with their
19:48marriage and their marriage fell apart it fell apart because willow cheated and they still need
19:52to have a conversation face to face you know usually i'm the one that has really bad ideas but this one
19:58of yours is off the charts michael is in no condition to figure things out with willow why not because
20:05he's still in love with her how did you end up having a conversation with jason i took the kids
20:13over to see monica and while we were there i ran into jason we talked and what did my brother have to say
20:24he asked me why i hadn't reached out to michael yet and i told him the truth that i hadn't reached out
20:31to him because i was afraid of what he might say or do and jason told me that michael would be
20:37willing to hear me out jason is only looking out for michael's best answers you cannot trust him
20:42about anything to do with this i get why you would question his motives but it doesn't change the fact
20:47that he's right no jason is not i think he is and i cannot make decisions for my children based on fear
20:55i have to face him and try to find some common ground for their sake unless there's a good reason
21:02i shouldn't go is there something i'm not seeing i i can't believe i'm saying this but
21:13i think that jason might have a point you're okay with me going of course i'm okay with you no one
21:23i'm in favor of anything that brings our family peace
21:27i wish that i could expose drew sins to hell
21:33but i i have no tangible proof of one specific thing and if i openly challenge drew then it will
21:40just push the two of them closer together i hear you drew's not only incredibly manipulative but he's
21:47also impossible to call out and when you try it backfires he's still talking about curtis
21:55i worry about curtis but he can hold his own and then some i'm worried about trina's friend um
22:02kai taylor kai oh he's drew's spokesperson for his pediatric sports initiative didn't he play
22:10football for pcu he was football at pcu until he got hurt but now drew's trying to convince him to
22:20play again and all he has to do is undergo this incredibly risky surgery and if kai plays football
22:27again drew's the hero because he saved a young man's future and if it doesn't work i could end up
22:35paralyzed and trina she's terrified she and i both tried to talk to kai but kai has bought into drew's
22:43act and god forbid something does happen to him drew's just gonna say that he never promised him
22:49anything just like he said that he never promised curtis the ceo position at aurora because he can
22:55weasel himself out of anything he lures people into these situations he lures them in until they're
23:01trapped and once they are he convinces them that they did it to themselves then korsha
23:10we're just going to have to set a trap of our own
23:17you would even let boil sit down at your table let alone ask me to work with him
23:23broken clock is right twice a day
23:25he panders to donors he better and polls are you so eager to get back at sonny you'd be willing to
23:34work with that guy not get back at get rid of sonny corinthos has been a blight on my family for 30
23:40years he and carly stole michael from aj and then sonny murdered aj now granted there was not a lot of
23:49love lost between me and aj but he was alan and monica's son and it was murder okay i can see why
23:56your family can't well i guess forgive is not the right word is it and i understand how my position
24:05conflict with sonny
24:09puts us at odds and that is not at all my intention is that why you wanted to meet with me today because
24:16you wanted to talk about sonny i wanted to give you a heads up before i made my position public
24:25and i wanted to apologize for the timing i don't care about the timing but i do care that you're making
24:33a terrible mistake by aligning yourself with that man oil is willing to go head to head with sonny
24:40corinthos i have no choice but to support him is that seat taken
24:52how do we pull this off i don't know that yet
24:57oh god councilman boyle is here you may know him as drew's lackey he's close to drew and does
25:05his dirty work for him maybe we could use that somehow what is that beautiful woman doing with
25:13that troll i've seen her before several times
25:23are you at all concerned about separating danny and rocco yeah i don't know maybe a little not really
25:29though i mean they're still going to be living together 50 of the time with the quarter mains right
25:34i'd be even more worried about danny without rocco's good influence really danny's the wild child
25:40yeah no he's good he's fine i mean he's actually he's actually good for rocco you know he
25:46wants him loosen up a little bit we don't want him too loose no we don't
25:53either way i don't think we have to worry about him getting into as much trouble as i did when i was his
25:58itch
26:04i clearly have not gotten back my pre-coma coordination yet that's okay
26:12it's been a long day why don't we take a break
26:14i think so too yeah well every day i thank god that i got the chance to adopt leo
26:31i consider him one of the great joys and gifts of my life and leo's a great kid i mean i hope
26:39we're even half as lucky well the child you adopt they're the happy ones and the lucky ones
26:47from personal experience this can be a very complicated process so i think i speak for your
26:51mother when i say that we'll do everything we can to help oh yeah oh yeah absolutely i um oh uh
27:01this is my girl melanie and uh uh she's the lighting director i want to lock her down for the
27:06nurses ball i'll be right it's okay well thank you in advance ned yeah just so you know dad we're
27:13still thinking through all the possibilities yeah we don't know if we want to adopt an infant or an
27:18older child i don't think i'm saying this right look adoption is an incredibly sensitive consideration
27:25i don't want you to think like we're picking out a dog or something no no not at all i think that's
27:32the proper mindset you know you're keeping an open mind because you never know who your child will be
27:42until the day until the day you meet them
27:49ma it's me ma bingo can wait brooklyn was just asking me what agency we used to place her baby
27:59what am i supposed to tell her because clearly there was no agency
28:03oh wow these glasses are from our first trip to disney world with rocco i know i opened a box it was
28:18the first glasses i found it's okay to use them right of course they're glasses they're supposed to be
28:24used oh remember how excited rocco was to meet goofy yeah i do they always say don't meet your heroes but
28:33uh goofy was the exception i can't believe these glasses are still around well i'm not sure of it
28:43when you got sick i uh i packed up your house and tried to make sure i got everything you thought
28:50would be important i always hoped we'd get to use these again one day
28:56it's the land view banner
29:09oh sorry about that uh what did i miss not a thing and now it's my turn to apologize i have to get to a
29:16meeting to finalize monica's agreement with the port charles land trust oh thank god no more bulldozers
29:23no more true by any name absolutely it's not gonna take too long and uh we can talk about this more
29:30tonight thanks again ned and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later because i can't wait to meet
29:37my grandchild
29:44it feels like there isn't anything i can say to make you change your mind here there isn't and i
29:52i'm sorry that this is gonna create friction between us okay and i understand this puts you in a bad
30:02position but i also hope that you understand the wisdom of ridding port charles of a mafia boss
30:11you think that by driving sunny corinthos out of town you're going to rid port charles of organized
30:17crime you're not you're not somebody else is going to slip right in behind him
30:22and you know who i think that is i think it's jen's sidwell tell me what you know about that guy i'm not
30:31a fan unfortunately deception needs him and his rare mineral he's not just an importer he is a dangerous
30:43criminal and i believe he wants to take sunny's place in port charles my point is that by driving
30:52sunny out you could be inviting somebody much worse in
30:58if willow sees michael she is going to trade on every affection that he still has to get what
31:03she wants it doesn't matter it's michael's decision michael isn't it any condition to make a decision he's
31:09not even capable to have a full conversation and and willow she's not the woman that michael
31:15remembers she is the person that is going to put all of her selfish desires ahead of everything else
31:22the willow michael loved is gone okay if that's true then michael's gonna have to see it for himself
31:27that's my point michael's not gonna see it willow's gonna show up she's gonna cry and she's gonna whine
31:33she's gonna do whatever she can to get what she wants jason okay she can try but you gotta have some
31:38faith and trust that your son is going to see through that and figure it out maybe if michael were
31:43100 but he's not but he's still michael and he might be the only one who can get willow to realize
31:50that she's making terrible choices for their kids thank you for being so supportive of course

37:52How exactly do you know that she's not a model?
37:55I recognize her from security footage.
37:58I'm sorry, security footage.
38:00When I was co-owner of this hotel,
38:01I had to have her removed from the premises several times
38:06for plying her tray.
38:11She's an escort.
38:18She is.
38:21And we have a job.

38:31If you're a baby's in my life, then you're not going to be?
38:33There's one thing we have to get abundantly clear.
38:35I'm glad my biological father came back into my life.
38:38Dad needs his family, especially now.
38:40Whatever you need, I'm here.
38:41To know that you've got his back is the best news I've heard.
