00:00What? I can't believe we did this again.
00:09What the hell is wrong with us?
00:11You may regret it now, but you were enjoying yourself.
00:16And I'm finding a few less things to hate about you than I was an hour ago.
00:20Well, sex must be mutually consensual, but you know what?
00:24I certainly regret that you were such a horrible, vengeful person.
00:29Well, if it helps, think about sending me to prison as foreplay.
00:33Hilarious.
00:34Look, I am done with work for the day.
00:37I'd really like to get out of here, so do you mind letting me know how long you plan to lecture me about how awful a person I am
00:43before you kind of straighten up your clothes and get out of here?
00:47Miss Ramirez.
00:59Please, no, no, call me Natalia. I'm glad to find you here by yourself.
01:03And why is that?
01:05Well, I have some questions about deception, and you seem like you are the only serious person who's involved in running the company.
01:13That's just not true.
01:15Isn't it, though? Miss Coe seems pretty neurotic, and there's that crazy attorney who redrafted Allie's contract.
01:23Okay, look, Lucy is Lucy, and where Scott might be eccentric, he's also very competent.
01:29You have yet to meet our majority shareholder, Tracy Quartermain, who's a force of nature.
01:34I might call her too serious.
01:36Then, of course, there's Brooklyn.
01:38Yeah, another Quartermain.
01:42Okay, it's the moment of truth.
01:45Look at this.
01:47How does it look?
01:49Remember what I said. I am not going to be a pushover. I'm going to tell you what I really think, okay?
01:55Could have jazzed up the presentation a little bit, but it smells very good.
01:59Does it look like anything we've had before?
02:01Well, maybe Sasha is trying to broaden our horizons, huh?
02:05What about that?
02:07Hey, you.
02:08Hey.
02:09Marley.
02:10I just got back from work, and Melanie said that you wanted Wylie and me to give you our opinions on something.
02:16What's that?
02:17It's a tetrazzini.
02:19Is it an animal, or is it a vegetable?
02:21It's just another way of cooking chicken, sweetheart. And you like chicken, right?
02:24Yeah.
02:25Well, then, you're going to love what Sasha made.
02:28Well, I made two casseroles, so there's plenty for everyone.
02:32Enjoy.
02:41Thank you.
02:46Dex Heller.
02:48Jason Morgan.
02:49I know who you are. What do you want?
02:51It's about Sonny.
03:11Sonny.
03:22I told Sonny that I don't want any trouble, but I did apply to the police academy, and if I get in, I am going to be a cop.
03:28Sonny didn't send me.
03:30I'm here because of Jocelyn.
03:33She's afraid Sonny might have you killed.
03:36And I promised her I would not let that happen.
03:40No offense, but how are you going to stop it?
03:42I'll figure it out.
03:44Thanks, but no thanks. I can protect myself.
03:50I can respect that.
03:57But I'm not doing it for you.
04:00I'm doing it for Jocelyn.
04:03And for Sonny.
04:05You've got your motives crossed. Sonny's the one who wants me dead.
04:08Sonny knows better than to target a cop.
04:11And he should. He did.
04:15He should have known better than to go after Cyrus Reneau, but he still sent me to kill him.
04:26Could I?
04:28Of all the gin joints in all the world.
04:31Hello, Valentine.
04:34Can I buy you a glass of wine?
04:37Sure. That'd be lovely. Thank you.
04:43What's that?
04:44Pouille Fausse.
04:45Yeah?
04:51Pretty nice. Yeah, please. Can I get one of those, please? Thank you.
04:55So how are you doing?
04:57Busy.
04:58Good. It agrees with you.
05:00Oh, you think? Thank you.
05:02Yeah, you're engaged. You're energized.
05:06As opposed to what? Have I been slouching around like a sloth all these years and didn't know it?
05:10No, no. You're always beautiful.
05:12You're also driven to be first class in everything that you do.
05:16In fact, if you were to ever hang up your dancing shoes, give over your badge, and try your luck as a tree surgeon, I'm sure you'd be brilliant at it.
05:23Well, that's where you're wrong, you know.
05:25I have a black thumb.
05:27Can't tell you how many plants Robin bought me that ended up in the dustbin.
05:31Well, it's like we'd have it and we don't have to find out.
05:33Because it turns out that being police commissioner of Port Charles suits you.
05:38I happen to think it suits me, too.
05:42That's probably the cleaning staff.
05:44Yeah.
05:45They must have moved to another office.
05:46I'll make sure that they don't come back.
05:51Hey, it's Drew Cain. Can you tell housekeeping I'm working late and I don't need my office clean tonight?
05:57Thank you. Great.
05:59Crisis averted.
06:01Oh, my God. I am so late. I am so late.
06:09Yes, Madison, I got held up. Please tell Congressman McConkie that I am sorry and I'll be right there.
06:16Oh, no, it's totally fine that he had to reschedule. It's fine.
06:21But please tell the congressman that I know how busy he is and I'm more than happy to come to him when we reschedule.
06:28Thank you so much, Madison.
06:30Okay, I almost missed a very important meeting because of this.
06:34So, let's just not have this be a habit.
06:37I wouldn't call twice a habit.
06:39No, it's more like a mistake followed by a bigger mistake.
06:42I want to focus on what I just overheard. Representative McConkie?
06:46Seems like an odd fit for Crimson. What was that about?
06:48Larry McConkie is a family friend.
06:50He was in the same class as my father and he reached out to me because he has an exclusive announcement that he wants to reveal in an interview.
07:00And if it isn't suitable for Crimson, I can always run it in the invader.
07:04Well, I want to go with you when you meet with him.
07:06McConkie is a major player in the house and if he reached out to Aurora...
07:09No, he reached out to me.
07:11Well, I want to take advantage of this opportunity and I'd like to make his acquaintance.
07:15And who exactly would I say you are?
07:18My chauffeur?
07:20Just tell him I'm the guy you sent to prison and whose clothes you like to rip off every once in a while.
07:27Taste this.
07:29Oh, what is it?
07:31Just tell me what you think.
07:33Okay.
07:39It's great.
07:40You sure? You're not just saying that?
07:43No, it's great. Sasha, what's going on here?
07:45I'm auditioning to be a Court of Maids cook and I made a tetrazzine, which I am not really regretting.
07:51I mean, why did I pick something that Olivia can probably make in her sleep?
07:56Wait, hold on. You might work here too? Sasha, this is great. Why am I just hearing about this now?
08:01Well, it just came about this afternoon.
08:03The Court of Maids need a cook and Olivia really likes that shepherd pie that I made, so she wants to hire me.
08:10But she wanted me to audition first by cooking something tonight.
08:14I would have really liked some time to practice the dish, but the job comes with room and board, so I couldn't say no.
08:20Wait, so you might live here too?
08:22Yeah. I really hope that it works out because I'm supposed to be out of my apartment by the end of the month and the rental market is really insane right now.
08:33Besides, I would really like the job.
08:38But I don't want to infringe on your thing.
08:42Wait, what?
08:44Would you feel crowded if I were living here too?
08:49Closed captioning of this program is brought to you in part by...
08:53Everybody stop stalling and eat it.
08:57Okay boys, I will take this one for the team and be the guinea pig.
09:09That's actually pretty good.
09:10Yeah?
09:11Yeah, try it yourself.
09:13Okay.
09:14Is it spaghetti or is it a casserole?
09:15It's both, actually.
09:17What's a casserole?
09:19Casserole.
09:20Spelled C-A-S-S-E-R-O-L-E.
09:23But what is it?
09:24Okay, enough, enough. We're going to use the one bite rule. Everyone is going to take one bite.
09:29If you don't like it, you can eat a banana and cheese and crackers, but we are all going to try it, okay?
09:34I will join you.
09:42I'm not kidding, this is good.
09:43Yeah, right? Who knew Sasha was so talented?
09:45What do you think, you guys? You like it?
09:47I like it.
09:49If I eat it all, can I still have a banana?
09:52Yeah, sure thing, bud.
09:55What about you?
09:57My little picky eater. You like it?
10:00Yeah.
10:02This is so much better than your spaghetti.
10:07Can we have it tomorrow night too?
10:12This is the Disruptor Nourishing Moisturizer. It's part of our new Deceptive Skincare line.
10:16Oh, I really like the scent. And the texture is nice too.
10:20But does it work? Because I'm not going to have Allie hawking some bogus cream.
10:25If she's going to be identified with a product, it's got to really give good results.
10:28Of course it works. All of our products are rigorously tested.
10:32Everything we make does what we say it will.
10:35The most important thing Deception has is our customers' trust, their belief in our brand, and in us.
10:40Well, you're clearly a very effective marketer.
10:43But look, what I really want to talk about is what does Allison's music manager exactly do here at Deception?
10:50Um, okay. Brooklyn has had several important roles at Deception over the last few years.
10:56That just makes me wonder why none of the positions held her interest for very long.
10:59No, no, no. That's not how I would describe it.
11:01Well, I understand that Brooklyn had her own brief singing career for a while.
11:04When she got tired of that, she moved on to music management because her mom did it.
11:08With all due respect, that is not very fair to Brooklyn.
11:11She didn't have any choice but to give up singing. It's not what she wanted.
11:15And while, yes, she was introduced to the music industry by her mother and her dad, actually,
11:20she genuinely loves it and she believes in and is very serious about the artist she represents.
11:26So then when did she become really serious about face creams?
11:31Because it just seems to me that Allison is putting her career in the hands of this wealthy dilettante
11:38who really doesn't know what she wants to do with her life.
11:40So she tries a little bit of this and a little bit of that and basically changes careers like some people change hairstyles.
11:47I know you went to work for Sonny because Michael hired you.
11:51He wanted you to get evidence against Sonny and you did.
11:55You still have it?
11:57No.
11:58If I did, I'd have given it to Commissioner Devane.
12:01What was it?
12:03Ask Michael.
12:06Dex.
12:09I told Jocelyn I'm not going to let Sonny kill you.
12:13That means I'm not going to kill you either.
12:19I learned a lot from Sonny.
12:22He's smart. He's cautious.
12:24He understood that there's certain risks not worth taking.
12:28He doesn't think that way anymore.
12:30No, he doesn't.
12:31So I need to know how Sonny got in over his head.
12:36Starting with his deal with Bikeman.
12:39I like sitting here with you.
12:41It's comfortable. It's familiar.
12:43Oh, we've known each other a long time.
12:45I thought about you a lot while I was out of the country.
12:49You were out of the country? Were you doing business abroad?
12:52No. I was taking Charlotte back to boarding school in Switzerland.
12:56She went back? Willingly?
12:58It's her idea.
13:00I mean, despite the fact that it was Victor who took her there in the first place, she likes it.
13:04She has friends there, equestrian events, and she wanted to get out of Port Charles because it hasn't been very good for her.
13:09I don't need to tell you that.
13:11I'm aware of the things that happened to her lately and my part in that.
13:17I always regret that.
13:20But I am very grateful that she felt well enough to go back to Switzerland.
13:24I mean, if that's what she wants.
13:26Me too. I miss her.
13:29Of course you do.
13:31I miss you too.
13:34I miss having you in my life.
13:37And I know that wasn't possible while Charlotte was in town, but she's...
13:41She's away at boarding school now.
13:44It's crazy to think that maybe we can see each other again.
13:56Hello Fresh Takeout.
13:58Say hello to homemade and delicious.
14:01Hello Fresh. Home cooking made easy.
14:04Pain makes a lot of noise.
14:06There's the ow, ow, ow, ow.
14:08The twist and ah.
14:10Tell pain to pipe down.
14:12When pain says you can't, Advil says you can.
14:19What a difference a day makes.
14:27And the difference...
14:29Join us for McHappy Day on Wednesday, May 8th.
14:34Hey, girl. Hey.
14:36Ooh, Laneige. My lips so need that.
14:39Love that K-18 hair mask.
14:41Your hair looks so soft. Soft pink is it.
14:43This rare beauty blush was made for you.
14:45The brands everybody's talking about.
14:47Only at Sephora.
14:49When anyone in this house wears white, it doesn't stay white for long.
14:52White to art class? That's risky.
14:54Art has no rules, Mom.
14:56I'm not making any promises,
14:58but I will think about introducing you to Congressman McConkie on one condition.
15:02And that would be?
15:04That we both agree that this can never happen again.
15:10That's fine with me. I already forgot about it.
15:13I've already forgotten about it, too.
15:16I thought I told them to...
15:18Drew, are you in there? It's Willow.
15:25Oh.
15:31Willow!
15:33Hey, I thought I heard somebody knocking.
15:35Come on in.
15:38Willow.
15:40I'm so sorry. We didn't hear you.
15:42Nia, did you not lock the door?
15:46If I did, I didn't mean to.
15:55The, uh, the rep was a suit named Hume.
15:58Sonny must have met with him three or four times.
16:00Was anybody else?
16:02Valentine Cassadine.
16:04He's the one who set up the initial meeting,
16:06and then when Sonny wanted to back out, Valentine came back.
16:09So why did Sonny change his mind about working with Pikeman?
16:12He thought it was too risky.
16:14The first shipment that they had us move was this, uh, this plastic explosive.
16:18It's a classified weapon. It's supposed to be for special forces.
16:21It's not supposed to be for sale.
16:22It's a major NSA violation.
16:24But if Sonny had been busted, it would have been 20 years minimum.
16:28And you got a recording of it?
16:30I gave it to Michael like we agreed.
16:32He decided not to use it.
16:34Did you keep a copy for yourself, for insurance?
16:37No, I thought it would be safer to not have anything to tie me to the video.
16:40All right, so what about Cassadine?
16:43Did he do anything else besides set up the meeting?
16:46Yeah.
16:48Yeah, he met with Hume the same day
16:49that someone tried to take Sonny out at the Metro Corp.
16:51How do you know that?
16:53I was out for a run.
16:55I saw Hume get out of a car at the Cosmopolitan Hotel with Cassadine.
16:58Are you sure that this was the same day somebody shot at Sonny?
17:04Positive.
17:06There's a date stamp on the picture.
17:08You got that picture?
17:10Yeah, it caught me off guard there.
17:12Really?
17:14Yeah, yeah. Yeah, really.
17:15Yeah, really.
17:18I thought that...
17:23I thought we agreed that there was just too much hurt and damage.
17:28You know, and that that door was just permanently closed.
17:32And I'm rattling around in that huge house all by myself.
17:35The house that I bought for you and me to share.
17:38And I miss you.
17:41Will you let me take you out to dinner?
17:43Maybe we can move beyond the past.
17:45I'm going to have to think about that before I can give you an answer.
17:50Well, you're willing to think about it. That's a good start.
17:53Not making any promises, though.
17:56I mean, my feelings for you didn't just disappear overnight.
18:02You know, it's really difficult for us to go separate ways after everything we had.
18:09But I'm just not sure if I'm ready to go down that path again.
18:15You know, because maybe there's just more heartbreak.
18:19I think there's only one way to find out.
18:23Save by the bell.
18:26Yeah.
18:28Who do I have to thank for that?
18:32Go.
18:34As duty calls, yeah.
18:36Keep poor Charles safe.
18:41I'll call you.
18:46Sure.
18:51Mr. Christy always wondered when was the perfect time to enjoy a cookie.
18:56Turns out it was any time and anywhere except the bath.
19:00Mr. Christy tried that once and only once.
19:04Mr. Christy, you make good cookies.
19:07It's Home Hardware's 60th anniversary. We got lots to make noise about.
19:11Save 25% on Beauty Tone Designer Paint and 30% on Delta Faucets.
19:16And we're giving away a total of $60,000.
19:18Look, I'm happy to discuss deception with you.
19:22But if you're here to enlist my help to undermine Brooklyn's role as Blaze's music manager,
19:28you're barking up the wrong tree.
19:30Brooklyn is my best friend.
19:32She's also a consummate professional.
19:34She understands all aspects of the music industry.
19:37Creative, logistical, financial.
19:39Sure, Brooklyn's mom may have shown her the ropes when it comes to the music industry,
19:44but Brooklyn's been doing it on her own ever since.
19:47Oh, come on.
19:49To say that Brooklyn Quartermain has been doing it on her own, that's actually laughable.
19:53Because I believe that the term for it is Nepo Baby.
19:56When somebody's parents and grandparents, I mean in this case,
19:59Brooklyn's entire family paved the way for her.
20:02And the phrase, did it on her own, should be safe for people like Allison,
20:05who actually didn't know anybody in the music industry and still made it as a star.
20:09This is not a competition.
20:12They can both be good at what they do.
20:14Well, that remains to be seen.
20:17I'm sorry.
20:19I tried knocking a little while ago, but you must not have heard me.
20:23I tried to leave a message with the front desk, but they said you were still in here working,
20:27so I came back.
20:29I can see you're busy, though, so we can totally talk another time.
20:33Oh no, stay, stay, Willow.
20:34No, we just, um, we finished going over the Crimson photo budget,
20:40and Drew was very generous and gave me everything I wanted.
20:44But now we are finished, so I will leave you two alone.
20:50Okay, bye.
20:52Nina, wait.
20:54Is there something, do you need something?
20:56Oh no, it's just, um, I was kind of thrown when I saw you and Drew in here together.
21:04Well, we work together. Crimson wouldn't run very well if we don't talk.
21:09No, right, of course. I guess I meant thrown in a good way.
21:14If Drew can still sit across from you and calmly discuss normal things like a photo budget
21:20after you sent him to prison, then he must be a pretty forgiving person.
21:27Yes, he certainly is.
21:30And if the two of you can find a way to get along,
21:33then it makes me wonder if I haven't been too harsh, holding on so tightly to my grievances.
21:39So maybe it's time I let my anger at you go too.
21:47Thank you for saying that.
21:50I'm gonna go.
21:57Well, that was very unexpected.
22:00Yeah, definitely not what I was thinking was going to happen when I came to see you tonight.
22:06How did it feel to reach out to Nina like that?
22:09Surprisingly okay.
22:11And I have you to thank for being the bigger person and showing me the way.
22:18Sasha, there's-
22:19Should I just go back to the house?
22:21I was trying to give them some space, but maybe Michael and Olivia are just trying to think of the best way to turn me down nicely.
22:28Has anyone ever told you that you're really cute when you're nervous?
22:32Which you don't have to be, because number one, what you made is delicious.
22:36Number two, no, I don't feel crowded by you.
22:39In fact, I thought it was the other way around.
22:41And number three, you'll never be without a place to stay.
22:44If it comes down to it, you can live up in my room and I'll sleep down here,
22:47If it comes down to it, you can live up in my room and I'll sleep down here with the beasts where I belong.
22:56Please don't misunderstand me. I hate being this mistrustful and suspicious,
23:01but I had a terrible wake-up call with Allison's first manager, Link.
23:05He exploited her, he abused her, and I had no idea what was even going on.
23:09What happened with Link was horrible, and you have every right to be worried about Blaze.
23:13But Brooklyn, she's above board, and she would never do anything to hurt your daughter.
23:19Are you a mom?
23:21Yes, I have a son and two daughters.
23:24Okay, good. Then you understand why I'm asking so many questions.
23:28I just, I want to protect my daughter, and I don't want her represented by someone who just thinks that
23:33music is some, you know, fun break from tennis on Tuesdays,
23:37or something sweet and fun to do while she's not planning her wedding.
23:42Okay, that's not how Brooklyn thinks at all.
23:45Let's face it.
23:47Allison's association with Brooklyn is the only reason she's the face of deception,
23:51because my daughter's bigger dreams have nothing to do with face cream.
23:56I've known Brooklyn for a long time, and I've always thought that for a quartermain,
24:02she's pretty well-adjusted, realistic, and hard-working.
24:06Blaze seems to think so too, which makes me wonder.
24:10All these big dreams that you keep talking about, are they your daughters, or are they yours?
24:18So easy to, uh, to blame the mother, isn't it?
24:22You'll find that out when your kids get older.
24:28Just something to think about.
24:31Have a nice day.
24:40Thank you.
24:50Welcome to the police academy.
24:52New recruit, Heller.
24:54Thank you, Commissioner.
24:56I know you played a big role in this.
24:58No, not as big as you might think.
25:00You earned your spot.
25:03Guess I'll be taking up on that offer after all.
25:06Just promise me you'll be good to Jocelyn.
25:07That is a promise I will gladly keep if I get the chance.
25:10Thank you again, Commissioner.
25:12Congratulations.
25:19Did you get some new information from Dex?
25:22Yeah. So, um, Pikeman's rep is a guy named Hugh, right?
25:28Correct.
25:29Dex witnessed Valentin and Hugh meeting on the same day the sniper team tried to take Sonny out at the MetroCorp pool.
25:40No. No, that's impossible.
25:43You are giving me too much credit, Willow. You're literally one of the most forgiving people I've ever met.
25:49I like to think so, but with Nina, it is different.
25:53I mean, after everything she did, I had to distance myself.
25:55But maybe it is time I stopped being so angry at her for both of our sakes.
26:02Well, you've got my support, whatever you choose.
26:04Thank you.
26:06So, what did you want to talk to me about?
26:08I have been thinking about the proposal from the non-profit, and I just wanted to get more information.
26:15And Michael suggested I circle back to you, since you were the one who had the preliminary contact with the organization.
26:20Yeah, the New Tomorrow Institute. Absolutely. Have a seat. What do you want to know?
26:23Can you give me a little more information about what it is they're looking for?
26:29Sure. From our conversation, what I know is that they want to educate the general public,
26:35because most people just really don't understand how life-saving stem cell and bone marrow transplants from cord blood can be.
26:42Especially when it comes to incredibly difficult to treat cancers and diseases.
26:47And the therapy is in its infancy, of course, but the success rate is climbing every day.
26:54Yeah, I get that. Before I got leukemia, a lot of that was foreign to me, too.
26:59Right. That's what they want to do. They want to get that information.
27:02They want to make it easier to digest for the general public.
27:04And they'd like a face and a voice to help spread awareness.
27:08Somebody that's young and vibrant and articulate, and a survivor like you. I mean, you'd be perfect.
27:14What exactly would I be doing on a daily basis?
27:17Well, you'd be the first person to have the job, so I think it's yours to define,
27:23but I'm assuming you'd be doing some public speaking, probably making some videos, PSAs.
27:28I know they'd want you to advocate for fundraising.
27:31All of that seems within my capabilities.
27:34Definitely. Now, I also know that they want to keep as much money as possible for the Foundation, right?
27:39So, I mean, the pay would be low, but you and Michael are pretty wealthy,
27:44so I'm assuming maybe you wouldn't want to take a salary anyway?
27:47Well, I'm not sure. I mean, the last thing I would ever want to do is take money away from someplace that needs it,
27:53but I have always paid my own way, and I'm really proud of that.
27:58However, having the flexibility to spend more time with Wiley and Amelia
28:03might be a bigger priority to me right now than a paycheck.
28:07If they decide to take on the role, I'm sure they're going to work it out.
28:10It's pretty amazing, you know, that you're such a good person,
28:15that causes like this know they can reach out to you for help.
28:18Well, I probably should be humble and say I'm no angel, but I really like you thinking that I am.
28:26Maxie! Great, you're still here.
28:29I'm trying really hard not to be. What's up?
28:32I'm celebrating.
28:33Oh, celebrating what?
28:35Lulu spoke to me. With actual words.
28:37Said not in anger, and not just in my presence, to my face of her own choice.
28:41That is real progress. Please tell me how it happened.
28:44Well, believe it or not, it's because of Drew.
28:47I did not see that coming.
28:49Yeah, neither did I, and she only talked to me tonight because she thinks that Drew and I are friends now,
28:53when we actually hate each other more than ever.
28:56Even the sex is hateful.
28:58The what now?
29:01Yes, Wiley, you can pet the horses, but please do not, and I repeat,
29:05do not even think about feeding them gum again.
29:08I know where the carrots are. I can feed them those instead.
29:11Okay, they would absolutely love that.
29:13Just make sure you only do one carrot at a time, okay?
29:16Alright.
29:18Okay, um, I don't want to be pushy, but I am going a little out of my mind here.
29:23What did you think about my dinner?
29:26I think that you should probably open up a food delivery service,
29:31because that Tetrazzini was delicious.
29:33You liked it?
29:35I loved it. So did the boys.
29:37See, I told you you were worrying about me.
29:39You liked it?
29:41I loved it. So did the boys.
29:43See, I told you you were worrying about nothing.
29:45Okay, okay, okay.
29:47I can hear everybody gushing about Sasha's cooking all the way up here.
29:51Let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay?
29:53Frankly, I thought there was a little too much oregano, not enough basil.
29:57That would have improved the dish immensely.
29:59I'm with you there, Mama Q.
30:02Sasha brought me a plate, and it was delicious, except for the oregano.
30:06See that? That's a man after my own heart.
30:08Okay.
30:10Other than that minor miscue,
30:12Michael and I both thought that the dish was excellent.
30:15Even the boys liked it.
30:17They are notoriously hard to please.
30:19So, what do you think?
30:21Can you put a dinner like that on the table every single night,
30:24plus breakfasts and lunches?
30:26Because if you can, the job is yours.
30:32I thought we stopped eating dairy.
30:33We did.
30:35This is dairy-free basil plant butter.
30:37Tastes like the week.
30:39You got it.
30:41Did you guys hear that?
30:43Yeah.
30:45What is he doing in there?
30:47Oh, I'll handle it.
30:49Wylie, do I hear splashing?
30:51Never a dull moment around here,
30:53but I promise you, you will get used to it.
30:55I can't wait.
30:57I know I'm going to love working for the Corden-Weins.
30:59And I promise you that everyone in the family,
31:00young and old,
31:02will have healthy, filling meals
31:04in between all the amazing dinners that you make.
31:06I'm sure we will.
31:08So, Sue, you want to go up to the house?
31:10I will show you your room and where everything is.
31:12Definitely.
31:14All right.
31:16We're good here, right, Cody?
31:18Absolutely.
31:20Okay.
31:22I don't know exactly what is going on
31:24between the two of you,
31:26but I think we better establish a couple of ground rules.
31:28Lay them on us, Mama Q.
31:30Whatever the two of you do on your own time,
31:32completely up to you.
31:34But let us be very clear from the get-go
31:36that there will be no late-night
31:38tippy-toeing into Sasha's bedroom
31:40while there are children in the house,
31:42which is basically all the time.
31:44You have nothing to worry about, Olivia.
31:46I promise.
31:48Okay, good.
31:50I'm not the morality police. Far from it.
31:52But the house is full of impressionable children
31:54and gossipy adults. You got it?
31:56Okay. I'll see you up at the house.
32:01You two are very cute together.
32:04But let's be very, very clear.
32:07I got my eyes on you.
32:15I know. It's crazy.
32:17I can't even explain it to myself
32:19why it keeps happening.
32:21Keeps happening?
32:23Nina, how many times have you two...
32:27Ugh.
32:28Well, you know how it is.
32:30You know one thing leads to another,
32:32and before you know it,
32:34it's just happening.
32:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
32:38That's something you say about online shopping,
32:40not sex with your sworn enemy.
32:42Because you and Drew do hate each other.
32:44It just happened.
32:46I don't know what to tell you.
32:48It's not like it's hateful during.
32:50It's great. It's actually really great.
32:52Anyway, when it's over,
32:54I despise him even more,
32:56along with myself.
32:58It's time.
33:00The therapist would have a field day with you.
33:02Okay, can you just
33:04not think about the sex for a second?
33:06All right, Willow thinks that
33:08Drew is this kind of
33:10stubble-wearing superhero
33:12that can do no wrong,
33:14and the only reason that she is talking to me
33:16is because she thinks that Drew and I
33:18are getting along.
33:20How do I keep Drew on my side?
33:22Won't a great sex help with that?
33:24No, I can't, I can't rely on that.
33:26I just, I need to throw him
33:28to keep him happy with me.
33:30Wouldn't it be funny,
33:32after everything that's happened,
33:34if Drew was the reason
33:36you got your family back?
33:38So Dex texted me the picture he took.
33:41Oh, that's the Cosmopolitan Hotel, yeah?
33:43Yeah, you see the date stamp?
33:47That can easily be doctored.
33:49What would Dex get from that?
33:52Nothing.
33:56Oh, son of a bitch.
33:58Valentin was lying the whole time.
34:00About what?
34:02About everything.
34:04When Nicholas disappeared,
34:06Laura and Kevin,
34:08they had to go over to Europe
34:10to try to search for him,
34:12and the only lead they had was Chechnya,
34:14which is unstable, dangerous.
34:16So Valentin volunteered to go with them.
34:18He was gone for two months,
34:20and that day,
34:22right, July 6th,
34:24he called me.
34:25He called me,
34:27and he said he was in Geneva,
34:30but he wasn't.
34:34He was here in Port Charles
34:36with Hume.
34:39Okay, so Pikeman
34:41briefed me and Hamish
34:43about the Metro Court shooting,
34:45basically to prep us
34:47for the job at the warehouse.
34:49It was a two-man sniper team,
34:51same as us.
34:53They got a room,
34:55and then they evacuated
34:57to an extraction point
34:59where they met senior personnel
35:01who were running the op.
35:03Roman Hume?
35:06And Valentin?
35:08Look, they didn't give us any names,
35:10but it sure looks like it.
35:13Well, clearly,
35:15Valentin does more for Pikeman
35:17than just set meetings.
35:20I was just with him.
35:22You know, when you texted me,
35:23I was with him.
35:25I bumped into him
35:27at their Metro Court bar,
35:29and he said he'd been out of the country,
35:31that he went to Switzerland
35:33to deliver his daughter
35:35back to boarding school,
35:37that it was her idea.
35:39But now I'm wondering
35:41if it doesn't just make it easier
35:43for him to do Pikeman's bidding.
35:45You know, Switzerland's
35:47a neutral country.
35:49It's famously discreet.
35:51God,
35:54he has a perfect reason
35:56to return at any point
35:58whenever Pikeman requires.
36:00So what do you want to do?
36:02Remember I told you that I was
36:04at the WSB with him?
36:06The Valentin trainees?
36:08He was very good,
36:10but I was better.
36:12I knew it.
36:14You never could resist
36:16my animal magnetism.
36:18I'm not sure I'd put it that way.
36:21Just as...
36:24I was thinking about
36:26your dinner invitation.
