00:00Hey, no diving, please.
00:03Thank you.
00:04Hey, you.
00:05Slow down.
00:06Slow down, James.
00:07Oh, gosh.
00:08Sorry.
00:09Okay.
00:10Okay.
00:11All right.
00:12Let's go.
00:13All right.
00:14Hey.
00:15Yes.
00:16Apologies.
00:17May have been a mistake to give him
00:18an ice with extra syrup.
00:19Oh, well, the pool will be a perfect place
00:21for him to burn all that energy.
00:23Yeah.
00:24Hey, um, it was great seeing Jason
00:26at Brooklyn's wedding, but I haven't
00:29heard from him since.
00:31Have you seen him lately?
00:33No.
00:34That was the last time I saw him, too.
00:36Curious.
00:38It appears there's some discord between Jason and Sunny,
00:41which in former days would have been unthinkable.
00:44But details are scarce, as Jason is being predictably
00:47tight-lipped about it.
00:48But I'm worried, and I know I'm not the only one.
00:50Candy Moe!
00:51Stop right there, mister.
00:54As I'll still want you
01:11Got it here for a while, so, um...
01:12And I'll be here for you
01:14It's a nice day, though.
01:15I'll be right next to you
01:17It's beautiful out.
01:18I'd probably prefer being out in the sunshine, um,
01:21rather than stuck in here watching everybody work.
01:24Nay.
01:25Ally's given off all the light I need.
01:51Found him!
02:21Should you be looking for me?
02:27Yeah, for you and Violet.
02:29Okay.
02:30Mom!
02:31April.
02:32Mom!
02:33Georgie, what are you doing?
02:37Remember where we are.
02:41Use your inside voice.
02:44But we're outside.
02:45Yeah, but this is a solemn occasion, so it's like we're
02:48inside-outside.
02:49Mom, that makes zero sense.
02:50Just lower your voice.
02:53Violet!
02:54It's okay.
02:55Dad would have liked knowing his memorial
02:57was a lively affair.
02:58I'm really sorry for your loss.
03:00Thank you, Maxie.
03:01How are you guys doing?
03:03We're hanging in there.
03:05Trying to, anyway.
03:07Um, I'm sorry about your dad, too.
03:10Thank you, Georgie. I appreciate that.
03:12We're going to the pool,
03:13and we're hoping it's still okay for Violet to come.
03:16Well, it's up to Violet.
03:17Do you still want to go, sweetheart?
03:18Yes, please.
03:19Okay. Well, as long as it's okay with Maxie.
03:22Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
03:23I will take them to the pool,
03:24let them exhaust themselves,
03:26and then we can do dinner and ice cream
03:28before we have a movie night and a sleepover.
03:30Wow. That sounds really nice.
03:32Well, Violet's bathing suit and her overnight bag
03:34are in Chase's car, so I'll just go grab that.
03:36Okay.
03:37No, I'll go. It's fine.
03:38You sure?
03:39Yep. I'm good.
03:40Okay.
03:43How did it sound?
03:46Just waiting for Marv to sign off.
03:48It's clean.
03:50Okay. We got it.
03:52I don't know.
03:53I, um, I feel like I would do better with another take,
03:56maybe a few tweaks on the chorus.
03:59I don't think it's necessary, honey.
04:01I mean, that was, you nailed that one.
04:04Why mess with perfection?
04:06Can you send Marv on a break, please?
04:08You want to go ahead and take five?
04:10And then, um, you know what?
04:12Let's save that last one and make sure you sweeten it,
04:14because that's the one.
04:16Okay. Got it.
04:23I know this isn't exactly my area of expertise,
04:26but shouldn't we let Allie decide what she wants?
04:31It's her music.
04:33I know my daughter.
04:35She's a perfectionist,
04:36and she is never satisfied with any of her takes, so...
04:39And she loves to question my opinion,
04:41but I've been in the studio with her plenty,
04:43and, uh, I'm never wrong.
04:46Hmm.
04:47But, I mean, Allie is the artist,
04:49so wouldn't she know what she wants
04:51and whether or not she's gotten it yet?
04:53Yeah, she's the artist, but I'm the mother,
04:55and trust me, she's gonna do another few takes,
04:58and then she'll play around with those takes,
05:00and she always comes around.
05:01She ends up agreeing with my assessment every time.
05:05I'm really glad that you were able to pop in today.
05:08I thought, uh, that we heard you weren't coming.
05:12Yeah, well, I wanted to be here to support Allie,
05:14so I switched some things around in my day
05:16so that I could be here to support her.
05:19I know I caught you by surprise,
05:22but it's okay with me.
05:23After all, I've only ever been a surprise to you, right?
05:29James, is it?
05:31Well, James, you're lucky.
05:32If I hadn't grabbed you,
05:33you would have made such a big splash
05:35that you would have drenched everyone around the pool.
05:37Yes, or you could have hit your head
05:39on the bottom of the pool
05:40since you were diving into the shallow end.
05:42Yeah, remember we talked about this, buddy?
05:43You could have been hurt or at the very least
05:45banned from this water wonderland.
05:47You don't want that, right?
05:48No, I was just really excited to go in the pool.
05:52Hey, how about this?
05:54If you're really careful
05:55and you follow all the rules for the rest of the day,
05:58I'll make sure you get off with just a warning.
06:01Really?
06:04Yes, if you behave.
06:06I will.
06:07Well, that is most generous of you both.
06:09I'll make sure James is a perfect angel
06:11the rest of the day, right, bud?
06:12All right, come on.
06:15Giovanni Palmieri?
06:18Good memory.
06:19Yes, well, it's hard to forget
06:20the way you played at that wedding.
06:22And I think a few of your family members
06:25may have mentioned you by name.
06:27Oh, God, what did they say?
06:29Oh, they just said that you were a genius
06:31who played like an angel.
06:34I'm sorry.
06:36Don't be.
06:37You can't help what they say about you.
06:39I'm just a little confused at what such a genius
06:42that plays like an angel is doing
06:44working as a pool attendant.
06:51Olivia is one of the owners.
06:54She got me the job.
06:55Wow, that's a long commute from Bensonhurst.
06:59It's a good thing I'm local.
07:01What about you?
07:02I'm also a local.
07:03My mom co-owns the hotel with Olivia.
07:05I guess that makes you Carly Spencer's daughter.
07:08Yes, guilty as charged.
07:10I've heard a lot about your mom from my Aunt Olivia.
07:13Yeah, I mean, they're really good friends.
07:16I know they're super excited
07:17to be running this place together again.
07:19I guess that makes us both Nepo hires.
07:22Whoa, speak for yourself.
07:24My Aunt Olivia didn't hire me because we're family.
07:27She made me sit down for an interview,
07:29and I had to be on my best behavior and impress her.
07:32Wow.
07:33Yeah.
07:34And she put me on probation for the first month.
07:37God, all that after pulling through
07:39for your family at that wedding?
07:42Two totally separate things.
07:44My family has total faith in my musical abilities.
07:47Not so much when it comes to hourly employment.
07:50Most of my cousins had jobs,
07:51but my aunt said that it would cut into my practice time,
07:54and Olivia is breaking with tradition
07:57by putting me to work here.
07:59Well, all of that practice time
08:01when your cousins were working
08:02really paid off.
08:04I mean, you're amazing.
08:05I don't know if you're an angel or a genius,
08:09but you're really good.
08:10I mean, why are you slumming it down in Port Charles
08:13when you should be blowing up Carnegie Hall?
08:18Okay, now that Violet is out of earshot,
08:20you can be totally honest.
08:22If you want her to stay,
08:23I can come up with an excuse,
08:24make it look like it's my fault so you're not the bad guy,
08:27and I could tell Georgie,
08:28so there's no blowback.
08:31You know, that's very thoughtful of you, Maxie,
08:33but I think it would be good for Violet
08:35to be around friends.
08:36She could probably use a break from all this.
08:38Okay, as long as you're sure.
08:40Yeah, it'll give me a chance
08:41to go through some of my dad's things.
08:43I don't want Violet watching me
08:46getting my dad's clothes together to donate, you know?
08:49She'll probably want to keep everything,
08:50and it's going to be really hard on her.
08:52Yeah, that kind of thing is difficult at any age,
08:54but especially if you're a kid.
08:56You know, Finn,
08:57I could help you go through Gregory's clothes if you want.
09:00You know, it's going to be hard.
09:01It's not something you should do on your own.
09:03Maybe you, me, and Chase can do it together,
09:05get each other through.
09:07Yeah, no, thank you, Brooklyn.
09:09Um, I think I'd just like to do it on my own.
09:12You know, for what it's worth,
09:15when my sister died and I had to pack up her stuff,
09:17I thought I wanted to do it alone,
09:19but if I didn't have Spinelli there by my side,
09:22I probably wouldn't have gotten done everything I needed to.
09:26So what I'm trying to say is, Finn,
09:27you do have people that want to help you.
09:29Maybe let them.
09:30Yeah, I don't need any help.
09:32Maybe I'm just better at handling these kind of things.
09:34Yeah, of course. I'm so sorry.
09:36No, it's okay.
09:37No, it's situations like these,
09:38everyone just needs to do what feels best for them.
09:40I know, yeah.
09:41All of Violet's things should be in here,
09:43but you can call us if you need anything else.
09:45I'm sure everything will be fine,
09:46and if Violet needs anything,
09:47she can borrow it from Georgie, okay?
09:49Okay.
09:50All right, come on, girls.
09:53Hey, sweetheart.
09:55Listen, I want you to go,
09:57and I want you to have a really great time, all right?
10:00And make sure the lifeguard is always watching you
10:02when you're swimming,
10:03and you listen to everything that Maxie tells you, okay?
10:06But you know what the most important thing you have to do is?
10:10No?
10:11Have fun.
10:12Have so much fun.
10:14You think you can do that for me?
10:17I don't know.
10:19You don't know?
10:20You don't know?
10:21Why not?
10:23Did you change your mind about going?
10:25Do you want to come home with me instead?
10:28No, I still want to go.
10:30Okay.
10:31All right, then.
10:32What is it, sweetheart?
10:34Hey, it's okay.
10:36You know you can tell me anything.
10:38I don't want to leave you all alone.
10:44Well, I take it by your tone
10:46that you feel like I have been rude to you.
10:49That's not what I said,
10:50and it's certainly not what I meant.
10:52Okay, well, what did you mean?
10:54I mean, I think you should just be honest.
10:55I don't want us to have any misunderstandings between us.
10:58I doubt that could happen.
11:00You're about as subtle as a brick.
11:03You always make sure I know exactly how you feel.
11:06Well, you say that like it's a bad thing,
11:08but I honestly feel like that's a compliment,
11:11because I'm just not in the habit of repressing my feelings
11:15to make other people feel comfortable.
11:17Honestly, I just feel like it's better to be honest, right?
11:19So that everybody knows exactly where they stand, don't you?
11:22Yeah, no, I definitely think honest communication is valuable.
11:26But I was raised that honesty without tact equals cruelty.
11:33Wow, okay.
11:34So you're saying I'm rude or cruel or both?
11:41I didn't say either.
11:43I just, I'm confused.
11:46For a woman who prides herself on such candor,
11:49you wouldn't just come right out and say you don't want me here.
11:52Be honest. You'd rather I leave, right?
11:54Well, you know what, I'll admit,
11:55there are a lot of things about your relationship with Allison
11:58that I wish were different,
11:59but I am also very aware of the fact
12:01that I don't have any control over that.
12:02She's a grown woman, and she makes her own choices.
12:05But I'm also not going to pretend like
12:10your new role in my daughter's life isn't a surprise.
12:14And I'm still adjusting to that reality, okay?
12:19But also, I believe that you are a lovely,
12:25unquestionably selfless young woman
12:29with a really bright future.
12:31Thank you.
12:33You may not be exactly
12:36who I would have expected my Allison to choose as a partner.
12:40I mean, but look, I'll bet you a lot of mothers
12:43don't feel that way when their daughters
12:45introduce them to someone special.
12:48Yeah, I'm sure my mom would say the same thing.
12:51I'm sure she would.
12:53Good moms always look out for their kids
12:56no matter how old they are.
12:59I've come to realize
13:03how deeply Allison cares for you,
13:06and I can see it all over her face
13:08every time she looks at you.
13:10So I'm trusting you.
13:12I'm trusting you to put her feelings before yours
13:16when the time comes for you two to part ways.
13:19Which you inevitably will.
13:24Want pizza? How about two?
13:26For a limited time, buy one pizza
13:28and get a second one for a dollar.
13:30I mean, what else can you get for a dollar these days?
13:33A piping hot, delicious pizza.
13:35That's what.
13:36Online only, only at Pizza Hut.
13:38Now that's delivering.
13:40Parrots are incredible.
13:42No.
13:46Maybe just a little.
13:48But just because I have the sweetest daughter
13:50in the whole world, and I am so proud of you.
13:54And these aren't sad tears.
13:58And I don't want you to ever worry about me.
14:01But I heard you worry about me.
14:04Yeah, well, that's my job.
14:06I'm your dad. That's what we're supposed to do.
14:09Daughters have jobs, too.
14:11Oh, yeah? What's that?
14:13To make sure their dads aren't lonely.
14:18Well, you were doing a very good job at that.
14:21As a matter of fact,
14:23I can't remember the last time I felt lonely.
14:26Really?
14:28Really.
14:29As a matter of fact, you're doing such a good job,
14:32I think you deserve a break.
14:34So I'm putting you on sabbatical.
14:36What's a sabbatical?
14:39Sabbatical is when you go on a really long vacation
14:42and you can relax the whole time
14:44because you know your job's gonna be waiting for you
14:46when you get back.
14:48How long will my sabbatical be?
14:50Hmm. How do you feel about 20 years?
14:53Dad.
14:57I love you, Violet.
14:59I love you so much.
15:03Listen, I want you to go have a really great time, all right?
15:08And I'm gonna see you tomorrow.
15:10And no trying to break your record
15:12for holding your breath underwater
15:14unless I'm there to record it, all right?
15:16Okay, Mom. Okay, sweetie. All right.
15:23Am I good? Absolutely.
15:25Okay. Thank you, Maxie.
15:27Hey, no problem. And don't worry about her.
15:29She's gonna have a great time. Okay.
15:37Whoa.
15:39It's been a long day.
15:41I feel like I could sleep for a week.
15:43You did really good, bro.
15:46I don't know if I could have done what you did.
15:48What do you mean?
15:51You put on a really good memorial for Dad.
15:55I just... I wish he could have been there to see it.
15:58He would have loved all the speeches about him.
16:01I guess.
16:03Yeah.
16:05Well, if you don't mind, I'm, uh...
16:08I'm gonna take off, all right?
16:10I'm just gonna call a car and head on home.
16:12I thought we could spend more time together today.
16:15Talk a little bit about Dad and...
16:18some other stuff.
16:20You don't work tomorrow, right?
16:22No, I'm still on leave, but, um...
16:24I really want to get home and start...
16:27packing up, uh, Dad's stuff.
16:30I don't want Violet to see that anymore.
16:33But, look, let's get together tomorrow.
16:35Let's get together this week, all right?
16:45Please take good care of him.
16:47I will.
16:48I know.
16:54You know, I-I told Finn that, um...
16:57we could help him go through your dad's stuff
16:59earlier when it came up,
17:01but he was really clear it's something he wants to do on his own, so...
17:06Yeah, I think he, uh...
17:08just wants to be alone so he can drink in peace.
17:12Wow.
17:17Allie and I are really happy together.
17:19Why would you imply we would break up?
17:22Because Allie...
17:24cares for you so very much.
17:27And her career is at a precipice right now.
17:29She's poised to jump to the next level.
17:33And when those opportunities start rolling in for her
17:35and she is so close to her lifelong dream,
17:39she's gonna be torn.
17:41It's gonna be very painful for her to make a choice
17:43between seizing that moment, which may never come again,
17:47and choosing to stay with you here.
17:50But you have the power to alleviate that pain.
17:52You can actually take that choice out of her hands.
17:55If you could just...
17:57if you could let Allison go gracefully...
18:00Look, I know, I know it'll be hard for both of you.
18:03I know it'll be painful,
18:04but you know this is the best decision for my daughter.
18:06You don't know that because you can't predict the future.
18:09I don't need to be a fortune teller
18:11to be able to see that the path the two of you are going down
18:13is gonna end in some kind of pain
18:16and disappointment for both of you.
18:19Look, I'm just telling you, as a mother,
18:21I'm trying to head that off of the past.
18:23I'm trying to protect my daughter.
18:25You're gonna learn soon enough that that is what mothers do.
18:30Carnegie Hall is always on my mind.
18:32I dream of playing at Lincoln College.
18:35I dream of playing at Lincoln Center, too.
18:37It's impossible not to when you grow up in Brooklyn.
18:40But as of right now,
18:41I'm just focused on getting my Gershwin in shape for summer stage.
18:45Wait, you're doing the concert in the park?
18:49A solo here and there.
18:52People camp out, like, days in advance for those tickets.
18:56Yeah, getting your hands on tickets is pretty hard.
19:00Unless you know someone who has comms.
19:05Huh?
19:07Okay, I don't want to put you on the spot,
19:09but I'm gonna put you on the spot.
19:11Can you get me in?
19:12Uh, depends.
19:14Can you spell me picking up wet towels
19:16and maybe sweeping the pool area?
19:18Lifeguards don't sweep.
19:20Oh!
19:22Oh, my God! Sorry, that was a total accident.
19:26Oh, my God. Do I get hazard pay for this?
19:30I'm so sorry.
19:32Jasmine!
19:34Hey, what's so pretty?
19:39God.
19:49So embarrassed. Here.
19:51You lifeguards don't know your own strength.
19:53Look, if anyone asks why the new pool attendant
19:55decided to take a swim fully clothed,
19:57I will take full responsibility.
20:00Deal.
20:01Well, now that we got that settled,
20:03how about an introduction?
20:05Absolutely.
20:06This is Trina Robinson, my very best friend.
20:08Trina, this is Giovanni Palmieri.
20:10He's Brooklyn's cousin.
20:11Call me Gio.
20:13Hi. Um, I'm sorry.
20:15I...
20:16It's nice to meet you.
20:18You as well.
20:19I apologize if I got any water on you,
20:22but in my defense,
20:23I'm soaking wet because you're a friend Jocelyn.
20:25Hey, it was an accident.
20:27Even though I have a feeling you're not gonna let me forget it.
20:29Me?
20:30Gio is that amazing violinist I told you about
20:33that played at Brooklyn and Chase's wedding.
20:35Oh.
20:36Oh, yeah.
20:37Joc told me that you were incredible.
20:40She's exaggerating.
20:41I thought I was a little rough that day.
20:43Okay, well, if that's true,
20:45you were the only one who noticed,
20:47and you were good enough to get a solo at Summer Stage,
20:50although I won't know how good you are
20:51until you get me those tickets.
20:53Don't worry. I'll follow through.
20:55I've seen what you can do.
20:57I'd want to get on your bad side.
20:59Very funny.
21:01And if for some reason it doesn't work out,
21:04you'll have plenty of chances to see me perform at PCU this year.
21:07Wait, you're going to school here?
21:09I am.
21:11Hopefully that means we'll all be seeing more of each other.
21:18Mom, get your sunscreen on.
21:20You have to come in the pool with us.
21:22Yeah, we want to have chicken fights with you.
21:24Yeah.
21:25Oh, absolutely not.
21:26I spent way too much time on my hair and makeup today to get wet.
21:29Mom.
21:30You're no fun.
21:31Don't worry. We'll lure her in one way or another.
21:34Uh, no, you will not.
21:36And if I even get misted,
21:37there will be dire consequences for all of you.
21:41We have the whole rest of the summer to make it happen,
21:43and your mother has proven powerless
21:45in the face of my considerable charm.
21:48Muahahaha!
21:53Can I come sit with you?
21:54Sure.
21:55Is the water too cold?
21:57No, it was nice.
21:59Well, you don't have to do the chicken fights if you don't want to.
22:01I like chicken.
22:03Okay, why don't you want to get in the pool?
22:06I'm thinking about my dad.
22:08Do you think he's okay?
22:12Finn thought he was alone,
22:13and I watched him down two shots of tequila,
22:15one after another.
22:16He couldn't down them fast enough.
22:17And then he pulled out some breath spray
22:19to cover up the scent like he planned it.
22:21Like he meant to drink.
22:22You don't seem surprised.
22:23I wish I was.
22:25I was worried something like this would happen.
22:27And you didn't say anything?
22:29It was just a feeling I had.
22:31Look, I was hoping that I was wrong.
22:34I didn't think it was my place to say anything.
22:36I was hoping that you knew your brother better than I do.
22:40Well, obviously, I don't.
22:42In fact, I'm wondering if I even know Finn at all.
22:44Well, obviously, I don't.
22:46In fact, I'm wondering if I even know Finn at all.
23:15Shh.
23:30Shh.
23:44Shh.
24:00Thanks. I'm glad we're all on the same page.
24:02Absolutely.
24:07Well, you'll be happy to hear that the three of us are in agreement.
24:10There's no need to do another take.
24:12The one you liked was great.
24:13Go ahead. Say I told you so.
24:14No, I don't need to gloat.
24:15You sang that one so beautifully and so truthfully.
24:19There just was no doubt in my mind that that was the one.
24:21And I am quite sure that Brooklyn's going to agree.
24:24Thank you, Mommy.
24:26Um, what did Christina say to you?
24:29Um, about the song?
24:31No, in general.
24:32I saw the two of you were chatting.
24:33I just wanted to know what you guys were talking about.
24:35Oh, yeah.
24:36You know, not much.
24:38But then Christina's not here to see me now, is she?
24:41I'm going to go and listen to my daughter's perfect voice before we wrap up here.
24:46And I'll send Christina in because I'm sure she's going to want to tell you how much she loves it.
24:50Thank you.
24:58Hi.
24:59Hi.
25:01You're really getting into that song.
25:03It took me a couple of tries to really feel it.
25:07You know, after the way we left things, I'm kind of surprised to see you here.
25:12Yeah, I'm sure you are.
25:14I wasn't planning on coming, but I couldn't put this off any longer.
25:18Put what off?
25:19My apology.
25:21I have to tell you how sorry I am and ask you for your forgiveness.
25:27Listen up! Here's a-
25:28I was upset when you told me that you filled Molly in on everything that happened after the wedding.
25:32But that's not an excuse.
25:33I never should have yelled at you and stormed out like that.
25:36I should have just stayed and given you the benefit of the doubt and tried to work it out together.
25:42Thank you for saying that.
25:44I've been sick over it.
25:46I've tried calling you like a hundred times, but I wasn't sure you'd pick up.
25:50I mean, you have to know that I never meant to betray your confidence or hurt you in any way.
25:56No, I know. I do know that.
25:58I was just shocked, honestly.
26:00And I could blame it on the hormones.
26:02But I would probably react the same exact way, just as emotionally, even if I wasn't pregnant.
26:09It's really sensitive for me when we talk about my dad.
26:12I know.
26:14But I did talk to Molly.
26:16She said that you really did not want to talk to her about what happened, and she had to pry it out of you.
26:22I felt like I was being cross-examined.
26:25I know.
26:27I should have just been up front with Molly myself and told her what my dad did.
26:31I shouldn't have expected you to keep the secret for me or gotten so upset with you when you couldn't.
26:37Acting like we had this shared code of silence and then treating you like an enemy because you broke it.
26:43That's what my dad does, and I don't want to be like that.
26:51I'm sorry.
26:53I'm sorry.
26:56I know how hard this is.
26:59What did Finn say when you brought it up to him?
27:03I thought it would be a mistake to confront Finn in public, especially with Violet here.
27:07I didn't want to make things worse, but I don't know. Maybe it was the wrong call.
27:10No, don't second-guess yourself.
27:12Look, you had to make a decision in a split second, and you did what you thought was best.
27:16How did I not see this?
27:18I am a detective. I spend my days questioning people, gathering evidence, putting puzzle pieces together.
27:24I have seen people do awful things when they are hurting, and I know how much dad's death is affecting Finn, and I still didn't realize that he is lying to me.
27:33Alcoholics are very good at deception.
27:36But he's my brother. I should have seen through the lies, but instead, I let myself be completely fooled.
27:43You are mourning yourself, Chase.
27:45And you trusted your brother because he's given you years of reasons to do so.
27:49Listen to me, okay? The most important thing is now you know, and we can move forward from here.
27:55Just please stop being so hard on yourself.
27:58You're right.
28:00The most important thing is we figure out how to help Finn.
28:03Yes.
28:04I need to talk to him.
28:05Let him know that I am there for him.
28:08Have it out with him if it comes to that.
28:11I need to hear in his words why he's drinking again, and lying about it.
28:17I just hope you can get through to your brother.
28:20Me too.
28:22Hey, uh, I was just wondering the last time I came by, the church hall was closed because the construction of the AA meetings resumed there?
28:35Thank you.
28:40Thank you.
29:11So, what made you want to enroll at PCU?
29:15Uh, they recruited me, actually.
29:17Yeah, I was fourth chair at the conservatory when PCU called.
29:22They got this huge endowment to expand their music program.
29:27Uh, invited me to audition and wound up offering me a job.
29:32So, I was like, okay.
29:34They got this huge endowment to expand their music program.
29:37Uh, invited me to audition and wound up offering me a full ride and first chair and summer stage.
29:44Wow.
29:45Uh, yeah, it's an amazing opportunity.
29:47I'm really lucky.
29:49Or really talented.
29:51Look, I have no doubt you're going to be amazing at PCU, but a word of caution, they always put their scholarship students in the absolute worst storm.
30:00Yeah, be prepared to take the fastest shower of your life because the hot water runs out in like 30 seconds.
30:05Honestly, all the dorms are pretty bad, which is why Trina and I are looking at apartments off campus.
30:11Well, I appreciate the heads up, but I'm staying at the Quartermains.
30:15Oh, well, they definitely have the room.
30:18Yeah, Ned offered me the apartment over the garage, but Aunt Olivia and Lois insisted I live in the house.
30:26And, um, how well do you actually know the Quartermains?
30:30I know they could be a little overwhelming, but I love the noise and the togetherness of living with a big family.
30:38It makes me feel like I'm back home.
30:40It may not be a typical college experience, but I'm actually enjoying it.
30:45And how much time have you spent with Tracy?
30:48Not a lot, but I've been warned.
30:51Oh.
30:52Yeah, Brooklyn says that she likes music, so maybe, I don't know, that'll score me a few points.
30:58Well, actually, I work at an art gallery, and we're throwing a big reception for this amazing new artist.
31:04And we're looking for live music that won't overpower people's conversation.
31:08Could be good exposure for you, something that you'd be interested in, maybe?
31:13Definitely. I'm trying to make as much money as I can this summer to get me through the school year.
31:18Yeah.
31:20Can I give you my number?
31:24Sure.
31:28I don't have to do a whole lot just to be in Blaze's performance.
31:31She's got that touch.
31:35Christina, you're nothing like your father.
31:37I'm not so sure.
31:38My number one rule when we got together was that we are open and honest with each other.
31:43But the second that would have presented some discomfort with Molly, I threw that rule right out the window.
31:48I never should have expected you to keep my secret from me.
31:51And I shouldn't have gotten upset with you when you couldn't.
31:55That wasn't fair.
31:57I'm not angry.
31:58I get why you did that.
32:00You were just shielding the baby from any fallout with Molly and TJ.
32:04Thinking like a mother would.
32:06It's okay. I forgive you.
32:09Thank you for being so understanding.
32:19My break went way too fast.
32:21I'm so jealous of you. You get to just lie down.
32:24I should probably help Gorgio.
32:27He's nice, right?
32:29He's super talented. I mean, I cannot wait for you to see him play.
32:33Yeah, he seems cool.
32:36Are you okay?
32:37You seemed a bit frazzled when we got here.
32:40Yeah, it's just that, um...
32:44When Spencer first died, I thought I saw him everywhere.
32:47On the street, at Bobby's, even at the gallery.
32:50And it hasn't happened in a while.
32:52And I thought that my mind finally accepted that Spencer's gone.
32:57But when Gio stepped out of the pool, it, um...
33:00Yeah, I know.
33:06We got you.
33:07Oh, I'm surrounded!
33:10Mom didn't even bring her swimsuit.
33:12Oh, well, you know what? There's always tomorrow.
33:14Tomorrow?
33:15Or the next day. Or any day after that.
33:18You promise?
33:19I'm not going anywhere.
33:20And neither is your mom.
33:22Except in this pool someday very soon.
33:27Hmm. I think that your dad is just sad about his dad.
33:31I know this is probably hard to understand,
33:34but you can be sad and okay at the same time.
33:38I think that's Uncle Chase.
33:41And there's something different about my dad.
33:45Even when he acts happy, like everything's okay.
33:48Yeah, well, sometimes parents will act happier than they feel
33:51because they don't want to worry their kids.
33:53I don't think it's working.
33:55I'm still worried about him.
33:57It's my job, and he's still alone at home.
34:02Grown-ups definitely like being by themselves sometimes.
34:06Look, if you don't want to sleep over, I can take you home.
34:11But I know your dad loves you so much,
34:14and he's probably really glad that you're hanging out with friends and having some fun.
34:19That way, if he is sad and wanting to be by himself,
34:24he won't be making you sad, too.
34:32What'll it be?
34:34Tequila.
34:40I know you're just trying to make sense of it all,
34:43but I don't think that we should attribute Finn's drinking solely
34:49to the fact that today was a hard day for him.
34:51It may be more than that, but we're not going to know until you talk to him.
34:55And I'm happy to go with you unless it's something you want to do on your own.
34:58No, no, I want you there.
35:00Well, then that's where I'll be.
35:01Look, I do think that your instincts were good.
35:03I think we should start by telling Finn that we know that he's drinking again,
35:07and lying about it.
35:08We'll see how he responds, and we'll go from there.
35:11We won't be doing him any favors if we make excuses for him.
35:14What if he makes them himself?
35:16I need to go in with a plan.
35:18I need to know exactly how to help Finn if he won't listen to me.
35:21Chase, I know that this is hard to hear, but if Finn wants to keep drinking,
35:27there may not be anything else we can do to help him.
35:30God, I hate this. I feel so helpless.
35:34And when it comes to Finn, we might be, but not violent, okay?
35:39There's still plenty we can do to help that little girl.
35:42And we're going to need to step up, especially if...
35:45If what?
35:46Chase, with Finn's current state,
35:50you don't think that he would ever do anything to put that little girl in harm's way, do you?
