00:19because of you hi honey i only have a minute oh that's fine i just wanted to see how your mom's
00:33segment's going i thought you were supposed to entice the viewers not send them diving for the
00:39mute button your accent is so distracting i can't focus on the product i gotta go
00:46myrna honey did you perhaps have a bad experience with someone from that lovely
00:53borough of brooklyn are you just having a bad day period hi um what are you doing here
01:01i'm looking for you it's lulu she's been moved to general hospital
01:16so
01:25hi
01:27possibly look
01:46i don't know what you mean lulu's at general hospital the doctors are worried about her
02:00i don't know what that means what did the doctor say exactly i'm getting this information from
02:04laura all right but i guess she's at a setback so the doctors want her moved to gh so they can
02:10handle her medical needs better that's why she was moved okay i don't like the way that sounds
02:14it seems like there's something wrong i wish i had more information right now i don't but i just
02:18thought you'd want to know as soon as possible um you were right yeah thank you i understand
02:27my accent takes a little getting used to a little you know i was raised that it's bad manners to
02:36critique the way someone speaks and you know anyone with even a basic modicum of knowledge
02:41of etiquette would know that it's very rude to offer unsolicited advice on someone's personal
02:48attributes so you know um myrna i'm sure you have a lot of better things to do today so
02:55thank you for calling honey and the good news is that deception's new deceiver serum
03:02plumps and rejuvenates your skin no matter what your accent exactly and here at home and heart
03:08we encourage everyone to use your voice and to try deception's fabulous products from their
03:14deceptive skincare line honey your your skin will thank you let's talk outside
03:24has there been a change lily was stable but her liver function is still declining
03:42i don't understand this she's been on the same protocol for years why
03:47this sudden change we don't know why this is happening we've already run additional tests
03:52and i know it's going to be hard but we just have to wait for them to come through
03:56in the meantime i'm doing everything i can to keep her comfortable thank you for doing that
04:05it was smart to bring her here i mean no offense to the long-term facility but
04:10she can get better and more comprehensive testing and treatment done here at gh
04:15she's in good hands especially yours where charles is lou's home and now she's surrounded
04:25by people who love her doctors and nurses included we're gonna get her through this
04:33thank you you're looking for absolution for people to tell you that none of this is your
04:40fault you want to blame ava but this is on you christina nobody dragged you to ava's hotel room
04:46you went there on your own and you picked a fight i went there to protect my family and you have
04:52waited couldn't you have waited the three more weeks that my baby needed to be born
04:58couldn't you have for once put anybody ahead of yourself
05:02i knew i shouldn't have trusted you you wouldn't keep my baby safe because you're so selfish
05:07molly please stop it not now please and there it is right on time mom swoops in to protect
05:15christina you know you could basically set your watch by it that's not what's happening of course
05:22because it is impossible to imagine a world where christina has to take responsibility
05:26for her own actions without you running in to defend her is that why you're so eager
05:33to get your law license back mom so you could help christina steal my baby
05:45post-captioning is brought to you know that you are devastated but this isn't helping i don't
05:49care molly why don't you let me and tj take you home do you think i'm making this up that i've
05:54just imagined that mom was gonna help christina steal my baby oh that is not what happened sweetie
06:01you don't know what i found this in your briefcase this morning an affidavit written by christina
06:08saying that she planned to file for custody of my baby that is not what happened all those times
06:15that i defended christina to you i told you that you were wrong about her it turns out i was wrong
06:21she was never gonna give me my baby and you you were just holding on to this for her waiting to
06:26file it tell me mom were you going to file this before my baby was born or were you going to rip
06:32her from my hands and hand her to christina right in front of me i would never do that that is not
06:38what happened you had this if you weren't planning to file it why did you have this document for you
06:46she had it for you christina because you were never gonna give her my baby
06:54no i wasn't
07:04i have never given up hope that lulu would wake up you know that right of course yeah well
07:12well i know what people are thinking i can see it in their eyes whenever lulu is brought up they
07:22know that she's been in a coma for three and a half years and they think that it is hopeless
07:27no one thinks yes they do they absolutely do they think i should let her go that i'm being unfair to
07:35keep her tethered to a bed and going through procedure after procedure but they don't know
07:39my daughter the way i do and i know she's a fighter she is in there and she's trying to come
07:51back we need to give her every opportunity to do that hey how was the funeral uh it's
08:05was terrible christina's a mess she's completely devastating i'm sorry i know how hard it is to
08:13see a sibling in that much pain yeah you want to say or do something to help them and there's just
08:18nothing you know uh don't take this the wrong way why'd you come in today you should be with
08:32your family yeah you know i got some unexpected news uh at the funeral and uh just wanted to kind
08:40of bury myself in some work so i can process it properly and i don't really want to talk to my
08:45family about it because they're all dealing with enough as it is i'm here if you want to talk about
08:51it i'm happy to listen it's lulu they moved her to gh she's uh she's taking a turn for the worse
09:02elizabeth hey hi um dante told me that lulu had been transferred here how's she doing
09:10i don't know yet the doctor is uh running laps and doing an mri hoping to get a clear picture
09:16of what she's dealing with okay so she's hanging in there she's stable for now are the doctors
09:25with her right now or laura anybody i i want to see her but i don't want to get in the way no
09:29doctor's finished and laura went to go call the rest of the family so it's okay if i go see her
09:34yes absolutely we encourage friends and family to visit and talk with coma patients some people
09:42who've come out of coma actually remember what was said to them while they're under and i suspect
09:45that's exactly what lulu needs i think it'll do you a world of good too okay their room is right
09:54over there thank you
09:58take all the time you need
10:09so
10:22it was a lot harder than i thought it would be yes yes it was
10:26man there's always some sadness with a funeral but there's something about a funeral for a baby
10:36how are you holding up i'm okay it's difficult seeing t.j suffer this much
10:43i just want to wrap my arms around him and make it better but i can't this time
10:50i felt the same way when trina was grieving for spencer
10:55look i think we can all use a little pick me up there's plenty of food here i'll go heat
10:59some up okay can i help you absolutely come on thank you thanks honey please
11:09well um do either of you happen to know anything about molly's father there certainly didn't seem
11:17to be any love lost between him and molly's family you could practically feel the chill in the air
11:23yeah well rick lansing certainly won't win any popularity contests in port charles he operates
11:30on what i can call a gray area but this is not the time or place to discuss his lengthy
11:37transgression so let's just say that he is not very well liked in this town i see but rick and
11:45molly have a decent relationship he does try to stay far from port charles for a reason
11:53he's estranged from his brother sonny and he and alexis can't be in the same room without
11:59butting heads rick's made his fair share of enemies in port charles so i'm sure he prefers
12:05to stay as far away as possible most of the time i had no idea but that explains a lot
12:11and we all know how complicated family relationships can be
12:17but no matter what he's done rick is molly's father and she clearly loves him i'm really
12:24glad that he showed up when she needed him and it's very important that we do the same for tj
12:35you were never going to honor our agreement you were planning to keep my baby
12:41she was a part of me i nurtured her you killed her i never would have intentionally put her in
12:48harm ever i was her mother for eight months and nothing you say or do will ever erase that
12:55mothers look out for their children and protect them they keep them safe at all costs you have
13:02zero maternal instinct you are selfish you're impulsive you make the same mistakes over and
13:08over you're a total train wreck please you stood up in that church and you presented yourself as
13:14this grieving mother all while pretending that you are not to blame for my baby's death i loved her
13:22i loved her more than anything in this whole world
13:28you don't know the meaning of that word
13:30look at this grave look at this grave my daughter is buried here because you did not protect her
13:41you did not keep her safe you put her at risk and she died say it kristina admit that you killed my
13:52baby
14:07i don't know what i was expecting you to say but lulu never occurred to me
14:12me neither i mean it's a total shock i just got used to the status quo
14:20with her as terrible as that sounds i just wasn't expecting this
14:27does rocco now yeah i told him how do you take it how do you think
14:34it's a kid we're talking about his mom he had hope that she was gonna wake up soon and i'm
14:39telling him that she's getting worse she might not make it i mean this is
14:43this is tough rocco has you he's got sam and a huge family all around him to lift him back up
14:53hopefully that's enough oh yeah i hope you're right look i i feel for rocco but
15:01this has got to be impacting you how are you doing knowing that lulu could be slipping away

17:01lolly's wrong you're wrong i do know what love is i loved her i loved her i did i loved her
17:12i did i loved her i know what love is i loved her i did
17:30let me help you molly let me carry a baby for you and tj i know that you were originally against
17:39it when i offered to be your surrogate and admittedly i hadn't really thought it through
17:44not fully no christina when i said that before that was my pain talking i was disappointed and
17:51bitter that you could carry a child and i couldn't i am about to officially ask you for a huge favor
17:58yes i'll be your surrogate there is no binding agreement that you can sign that would make that
18:04baby molly's bond between christy and me is stronger than all the legal protections in the
18:09world i'm pregnant tj and i discussed it and we want the baby sex to be a surprise
18:16oh christina's more than a surrogate she is biologically and emotionally invested just tell me
18:22you can see how potentially difficult this is i understand but i am still choosing to be hopeful
18:32she wants our baby to be her baby and now thanks to this interview the whole world thinks it is
18:39you want me to terminate my parental rights in order for me to legally be the baby's mother
18:45you have to terminate your rights this is what we agreed to in the beginning i do wonder sometimes
18:50if maybe ally and i would make better parents for this baby right now maybe we would be able
18:55to provide a more stable home than you and tj there was an accident christina was hurt
19:00she's having an emergency c-section precious little girl is gone a girl
19:06oh
19:26i'm not leaving without tj
19:37let's get out of here
19:39oh
19:41so
20:03i'm sorry i missed our visit last week you know i consider it our standing date but
20:08james was missing and we were all looking for him don't worry he turned up a little worse for
20:14the wear but boy do i have a crazy story to tell you when you wake up about who he went to see
20:21you know why i love painting your nails
20:25i believe just because you're stuck in a bed doesn't mean you don't deserve to be pampered
20:29and painting your nails reminds me of our crimson days when we would get so excited about any free
20:36samples we would receive well it was thrilling for me and i loved you so much for going along
20:42with it and pretending i miss you lulu and i know it's probably driving you crazy that you're stuck
20:50in this bed being forced to listen to me ramble so please wake up and tell me to be quiet i promise
20:58i won't even get offended you know how i know you're gonna pull through this
21:05there are so many people who still need you your mom charlotte and rocco
21:13me and even though you're stuck in this bed with objectively perfect nails right now
21:19now none of us have given up on you i promise
21:38before we go in i owe you an apology today was supposed to be about honoring irene and
21:45laying her to rest and i ruined that this should have been our first step towards healing and
21:51i turned it into something ugly i'm sorry i hope that you can forgive me no no that's that's
21:57nothing to forgive irene was our daughter we loved her so much from the moment we knew she was coming
22:06you know as much as we like to think that we can control our emotions they're bound to get away
22:11from us in certain situations because they're just they're too big for us to handle
22:15exactly how it felt it was just spilling out of me
22:22i completely understand we didn't get the opportunity to meet irene
22:28but we will always be her parents and all this this messy horrific complicated grief
22:35we're gonna figure it out together i don't know what i feel about lulu i don't even
22:49i don't know what i have a right to feel you're entitled to have any feelings that you have
22:56but you should be honest with yourself about them i can tell you one thing for certain is i love sam
23:05i love the life that we've created the family that we built she's like uh
23:11she's like a miracle for me you know look i know how great you and sam are together
23:17and how much you adore each other but that doesn't mean you can't have
23:20complicated feelings for lulu she was your wife you have a kid together
23:29when lulu and i uh
23:30i mean look we had we had already divorced when she got hurt we were over she was starting a new
23:36life with someone else and she was happy but every time i take rocco in there to see her in that bed
23:44do i love her do i care for her do i want her to wake up of course all those things but i know
23:53of course all those things but i know she put me behind her
23:59she's not laying in that bed dreaming about me i'll tell you a secret
24:05i think dante still needs you too he tracked me down today at work just to let me know you
24:12had been moved here after you were hurt i uh i never told dante that you were
24:21planning to tell him you still loved him i did think about it it just it didn't seem fair
24:29i thought you would want for him to move on you know be happy and he is happy um
24:38but that doesn't mean he he doesn't need you too so if that counts for anything
24:45um please fight your way back for him too okay okay almost ready can i help you with anything
24:55else no everything's taken care of but thank you still i appreciated what you said at the church
25:05i like to think that both of our irenes are up there in heaven watching over us and taking care
25:12of each other you know i always thought it was irene who brought you back to us after we had
25:18lost you for so long and with both irene's together i'm sure there'll be raining down
25:24blessings on us i certainly hope so christina was never going to give up irene she had an affidavit
25:35all prepared saying that she was the mother and wanted to retain custody and the kicker
25:40is that alexis was helping her tj gonna need the blessing the most he lost a child stella a child
25:49that's the kind of pain nobody can bear and he can't shoulder that pain alone he gonna hit us
25:57what's wrong ma nothing i'm fine you did a fantastic job everybody loves you so why do
26:05you look like someone just told you that you could only wear pale pink nail polish for the
26:08rest of your life brooklyn
26:15i need you to be honest with me
26:19is my accent unbearable
26:28i'm sorry i couldn't stay longer for tj and molly but i'm needed at the hospital

28:46i'm gonna see if lastela and granddad need anything if you excuse me
28:49moms how about you how you doing i know it must be tough to watch your son going through all of
29:03this oh my pain can wait tj's my primary concern right now you know he just filled me in on what
29:10took place at iran's graveside after we left the church what do you mean christina and alexis
29:19we're planning to steal my son's child
29:23thank you for coming and i don't love being in port charles but it means so much to have
29:29you here of course i came i'm always going to be there for you when you need me
29:35how you doing honestly i'm completely drained i feel like i just fought a war alone
29:44well if it's any comfort you won i don't think there's any victors today
29:51my relationship with christina is in pieces and looks like mom's taking her side
29:56i'm honestly sick to my stomach about it i'm proud of you okay you stood up for yourself and
30:03you stood up for your child not everybody would have that kind of strength especially
30:07when you're being pressured to kind of go along and play nice yeah
30:15you're a complete marvel
30:20are you crazy ma we talk the way we talk yeah but we don't talk the same our accents and our
30:26speech patterns they're different maybe a little bit but who cares i cannot believe you're worried
30:32about this numbers don't lie and you were a huge hit yes you are i agree the people on social media
30:39can't get enough of you and neither can i oh that's very nice of you to say i i know it was
30:46dicey at first and thank you so much for helping push me through that rocky start honey once we
30:52got you over that hump we were off to the races and we won oh i i just can't wait to book your
31:00next appearance you know we need to make this a regular thing oh all right we don't need to
31:06inflate lois's ego any further than it already is we will be in touch to book our next segment
31:14on home and heart until then shall we decamp for home absolutely lead the way can you believe these
31:22numbers shall we decamp for home decamp for home to come forget it fixes had a custody affidavit
31:35all drawn up and ready to file while he found it in alexis's briefcase wow wow wow i had no idea
31:42it is just so infuriating i mean we all knew that christina had rights as a baby's biological mother
31:49tj's been worried about that for months but this baby was conceived because tj and molly so
31:54desperately wanted to be parents christina would have never even thought about having a baby if it
31:59wasn't for them that part and and so for christina to go back on her word and betray her sister and
32:06tj by deciding to keep the baby it's unforgivable and and for alexis to help christina knowing what
32:13it would do to molly and tj that baby was his biological child and what should have been the
32:21happiest moments of molly and tj's lives would have quickly devolved into a custody battle
32:28i promise you if that precious little baby had survived christina and alexis would have
32:34been in for the fight of their life if they thought they were going to take my grandchild
32:36away from me how do your stitches feel do you need another pain pill cares about my stitches
32:44my baby is dead and my sister is blaming me your sister is in pain too and she's lashing out
32:53and as cliche as it sounds sometimes the people we love the most are the most capable of hurting us
33:00none of that excuses molly's behavior i think this is a opportune time to remind you
33:07that you are named after my sister christina who i loved very much and we didn't always get along
33:15but i loved her fiercely and i was devastated at her death and i miss her and i would give just
33:25about anything to be able to talk to her again now you and molly are still here and you are
33:33at odds and i get how critical this is but you are gonna have to find a way to repair your
33:40relationship molly is blaming me for my baby's death i will never forgive her the funny thing
33:49is i know how this is all gonna end mom and sam will plead christina's case to me they'll say
33:56she's emotional and fragile right now and they'll say we're sisters davis girls that should always
34:03come first i mean they'll probably encourage me to suck it up be the bigger person apologize to
34:09christina say all the right things that will make her feel better and who knows maybe they'll catch
34:15me in a weak moment and i'll even do it but you don't want to no i will never forgive christina
34:21every time i visit my daughter's grave or walk past the room that should have been her nursery
34:27i will know that it's christina's fault that my baby is dead i know it's a spencer tradition
34:33to pull off a win at the 11th hour because you used to love doing that and then you'd give me
34:37this smug smile and drove me crazy but i admired it admired you
34:47anyway it's officially the 11th hour lulu so you need to pull out that win come back to us
34:57for rocco and charlotte for me
35:03for dante
35:04i'm so sorry
35:09when i was first getting to know lucky he told me how lulu had a plastic anemia when she was a
35:14toddler and he told me how strong you were for her and that you never gave up on her
35:23well she needs that strength now and i know you're gonna give it to her
35:27thank you for saying that boy do i miss lucky i wish to god i knew where he was so i could bring him home
35:50love
