00:00what did you say you heard me you had a choice protect my baby or your father
00:08and you chose Sonny no that is the proof is right here Christina my baby
00:16my sweet innocent baby is buried right here because of you
00:30hi honey I only have a minute oh that's fine I just wanted to say your mom
00:36segments gone I thought you were supposed to entice viewers not send them
00:42diving for the mute button your accent is so distracting I can't focus on the
00:48product I gotta go Myrna honey did you perhaps have a bad experience with
00:57someone from that lovely borough Brooklyn are you just having a bad day
01:02period hi what are you doing here I'm looking for you it's Lulu she's been
01:11moved to General Hospital
01:27Oh
01:57what do you mean lose at General Hospital the doctors are worried about
02:10her I don't know what that means what did the doctor say exactly I'm getting
02:15this information from Laura all right but I guess she's got a setback so the
02:20doctors want her moved to GH so they can handle her medical needs better
02:23that's why she was moved okay I don't like the way that sounds it seems like
02:27there's something wrong I wish I had more information right now I don't but I just
02:31thought you'd want to know as soon as possible um you were right yeah thank
02:36you I understand my accent takes a little getting used to a little you know
02:46I was raised that it's bad manners to critique the way someone speaks and you
02:53know anyone with even a basic modicum of knowledge of etiquette would know
02:57that it's very rude to offer unsolicited
03:04on someone's personal attributes so you know Myrna I'm sure you have a lot of
03:12better things to do today so thank you for calling honey and the good news is
03:18that Deception's new deceiver serum plumps and rejuvenate to skin no matter
03:24what your accent exactly and here at home in heart we encourage everyone to
03:29use your voice
03:34Deception's fabulous products from their deceptive skincare line
03:40honey your your skin will thank you
03:48let's talk outside
04:00has there been a change Lily was stable but her liver function is still
04:07declining I don't understand this she's been on the same protocol for years why
04:14the sudden change we don't know why this is happening we've already run
04:19additional tests and I know it's gonna be hard but we just have to wait for
04:23them to come through in the meantime I'm doing everything I can to keep her
04:28comfortable thank you for doing that it was smart to bring her here I mean no
04:37offense to the long-term facility but she can get better more comprehensive
04:42testing and treatment in here at GH she's in good hands especially yours
04:50where Charles is lose home and now she's surrounded by people who love her
04:57doctors and nurses included we're gonna get her through this
05:04thank you you're looking for absolution for people to tell you that none of this
05:11is your fault you want to blame Ava but this is on you Christina nobody dragged
05:16you to Ava's hotel room you went there on your own and you picked a fight I
05:20went there to protect my family
05:26we did couldn't you have waited three more weeks that my baby needed to be
05:32born
05:47there it is right on time mom swoops in to protect Christina you know you could
05:53basically set your watch by it
05:59possible to imagine a world where Christina has to take responsibility for
06:03her own actions without you running in to defend her
06:09you're so eager to get your law license back mom
06:15help Christina steal my baby
06:23Molly we know that you are devastated but this isn't helping I don't care
06:27Molly let's let me and TJ take you home do you think I'm making this up but I
06:33just imagined that mom was gonna help Christina steal my baby
06:38that is not what happened sweetie you don't know what I found this in your
06:42briefcase this morning an affidavit written by Christina saying that she
06:48planned to file for custody of my baby
06:57I told you that you were wrong about her I was wrong she was never gonna give me
07:04my baby and you you were just holding on to this for her waiting to file it tell
07:09me mom were you going to file this before my baby was born or were you
07:13going to rip her from my hands and hand her to Christina right in front of me
07:18I would never do that that is not what happened
07:23you were planning to file it why did you have this document for you she had it
07:29for you Christina because you were never gonna give her my baby
07:37no I wasn't
07:44I have never given up hope that Lulu would wake up you know that right of
07:54course yeah well I know what people are thinking I could see it in their eyes
08:03whenever Lulu is brought up they know that she's been in a coma for three and
08:09a half years and they think that it is hopeless no one thinks yes they do they
08:16absolutely do they think I should let her go then I'm being unfair to keep
08:22her tethered to a bed and going through procedure after procedure but they don't
08:26know my daughter the way I do and I know she's a fighter
08:34she is in there and she's trying to come back we need to give her every
08:42opportunity to do that
08:50hey how was the funeral all right it was terrible
08:55Christina's a mess she's completely devastating I'm sorry I know how hard it
09:01is to see a sibling in that much pain yeah you want to say do something to
09:06help them and there's just nothing you know
09:16don't take this the wrong way why'd you come in today you should be with your
09:22family yeah you know I got some unexpected news at the funeral and just
09:31want to kind of bury myself in some work so I can process it properly and I
09:35don't really want to talk to my family about it because they're all dealing
09:38with enough as it is I'm here if you want to talk about it I'm
09:44happy to listen it's Lulu they moved her to GH she's uh
09:52she's taking a turn for the worse Elizabeth hey hi um Dante told me that
10:00Lulu had been transferred here how's she doing I don't know yet the doctor
10:06is running laps and doing an MRI hoping to get a clear picture of what she's
10:11dealing with okay so she's hanging in there she's
10:16stable for now are the doctors with her right now or Laura anybody I I want to
10:22see her but I don't want to get in the way no doctors finished and Laura went
10:25to go call the rest of the family so it's okay if I go see her yes absolutely
10:31we encourage friends and family to visit and talk with coma patients some people
10:38who have come out of coma actually remember what was said to them while
10:40they're under and I suspect that's exactly what Lulu needs I think it'll do
10:46you a world of good too okay that room is right over there
10:51thank you take all the time your name
11:29sadness with a funeral but there's something about a funeral for baby how
11:36you hold it up okay it's difficult seeing TJ suffer this much I just want
11:44to wrap my arms around him and make it better
11:50we felt the same way when Trina was grieving for Spencer yeah look I think
11:56we can all use a little pick-me-up there's plenty of food here I'll go eat
12:00some up okay absolutely well do either of you happen to know anything about
12:15Molly's father there certainly didn't seem to be any love lost between him and
12:22Molly's family you can practically feel a chill in the air yeah well Rick
12:28Lansing certainly won't win any popularity contests and poor Charles he
12:33operates on what I can call a gray area but this is not the time or place to
12:40discuss this lengthy transgression so let's just say that he is not very well
12:45liked in this town I see but Rick and Molly have a decent relationship he does
12:54try to stay far from poor Charles for a reason he's estranged from his brother
13:01Sonny and he and Alexis can't be in the same room without butting heads Rick's
13:06made his fair share of enemies in poor Charles so I'm sure he prefers to stay
13:11as far away as possible most of the time I had no idea but that explains a
13:17lot
13:20we all know how complicated family relationships can be but no matter what
13:26he's done Rick is Molly's father and she clearly loves him I'm really glad that
13:33he showed up when she needed him and it's very important that we do the same
13:40you're never going to honor our agreement you were planning to keep my
13:48baby she was a part of me I nurtured her you killed her I never would have
13:55intentionally put her in harm ever I was her mother for eight months and nothing
14:01you say or do will ever erase that mothers look out for their children and
14:08protect them they keep them safe at all costs you have zero maternal instinct
14:14you are selfish you're impulsive you make the same mistakes over and over you're a total train wreck
14:21stop saying Molly's please you stood up in that church and you presented yourself as this
14:26grieving mother all while pretending that you are not to blame for my baby's death
14:32I loved her
14:34I loved her more than anything in this whole world
14:40you don't know the meaning of that word
14:44look at this grave
14:46look at this grave
14:48my daughter is buried here
14:50because you did not protect her
14:54you did not keep her safe
14:58you put her at risk
15:00and she died
15:02say it Christina
15:04admit that you killed my baby
15:22I don't know what I was expecting you to say but
15:24Lulu never occurred to me
15:26neither
15:28I mean it's a total shock
15:32I just got used to
15:34the status quo
15:36with her
15:38as terrible as that sounds
15:40I just wasn't expecting this
15:42is Rocco now
15:44yeah I told him
15:46how do you take it
15:48I think
15:50it's a kid
15:52I'm talking about his mom he had hope that
15:54she was gonna wake up soon
15:56and I'm telling him that she's getting worse
15:58she might not make it
16:00I mean this is
16:02this is tough
16:04Rocco has you
16:06he's got Sam
16:08and a huge family all around him
16:10to lift him back up
16:12hopefully that's enough
16:14I hope you're right
16:18look I feel for Rocco but
16:20this has got to be impacting you

18:21you did a terrific job
18:27she's wrong
18:29Molly is wrong
18:31you're wrong
18:33I do know what love is
18:35I loved her
18:37I loved her
18:39I did
18:41I did
18:43I loved her
18:45I know what love is
18:47I loved her
18:49I did
19:03let me help you
19:05let me carry a baby for you
19:07and TJ
19:10I was never originally against it
19:12when I offered to be your surrogate
19:14and admittedly I hadn't really thought it through
19:16not fully
19:18when I said that before
19:20that was my pain talking
19:22I was disappointed and bitter
19:24that you could carry a child
19:26and I couldn't
19:28I am about to officially ask you
19:30for a huge favor
19:32yes I'll be your surrogate
19:34there is no binding agreement
19:36that you can sign
19:38bond between Chrissy and me
19:40is stronger than all the legal protections
19:42in the world
19:44I'm pregnant
19:46TJ and I discussed it and
19:48we want the baby sex to be a surprise
19:50oh
19:52Chrissy is more than a surrogate
19:54she is biologically and emotionally invested
19:56just tell me
19:58you can see how potentially
20:00difficult this is
20:02I understand
20:04but I am still choosing
20:06to be hopeful
20:08she wants our baby to be her baby
20:10and now thanks to this interview
20:12the whole world thinks it is
20:14you want me to terminate
20:16my parental rights
20:18in order for me to legally
20:20be the baby's mother
20:22you have to terminate your rights
20:24this is what we agreed to in the beginning
20:26I do wonder sometimes if maybe
20:28Allie and I would make better parents
20:30for this baby right now
20:32maybe we would be able to provide a more stable home
20:34then you and TJ
20:36there was an accident
20:38Christina was hurt
20:40she is having an emergency c-section
20:42the little girl is gone
20:44a girl
20:46I'm so sorry
20:58no it's okay
21:00sweetheart
21:02we have to get you home
21:04I'm not leaving without TJ
21:16let's get out of here
21:30I loved her
21:34I did
21:38I loved her
21:42I loved her
21:46I'm sorry I missed our visit last week
21:48you know I consider it our standing date
21:50but James was missing
21:52and we were all looking for him
21:54don't worry he turned up
21:56a little worse for the wear
21:58boy do I have a crazy story to tell you
22:00when you wake up about who he went to see
22:04you know why I love painting your nails
22:08I believe just because you're stuck in a bed
22:10doesn't mean you don't deserve to be pampered
22:12and painting your nails
22:14reminds me of our crimson days
22:16when we would get
22:18so excited about any free samples
22:20we would receive
22:22well it was thrilling for me
22:24and I loved you so much
22:27thank you so much for going along with it
22:29and pretending
22:31I miss you Lulu
22:33and I know
22:35it's probably driving you crazy
22:37that you're stuck in this bed
22:39being forced to listen to me ramble
22:41so please wake up
22:43and tell me to be quiet
22:45I promise I won't even get offended
22:49you know how I know
22:51you're gonna pull through this
22:53there are so many people
22:55your mom
22:57Charlotte and Rocco
22:59me
23:03and even though you're stuck in this bed
23:05with objectively perfect nails

24:55she's like a miracle for me you know look I know how great you and Sam are
25:02together and how much you adore each other but that doesn't mean you can't
25:06have complicated feelings for Lulu she was your wife you have a kid together
25:13I mean look we already divorced when she got hurt we were over if you start a
25:28new life with someone else and she was happy but every time I take Rocco in
25:32there I see her in that bed do I love her
25:39do I care for her don't want her to wake up of course all those things but I know
25:45she put me behind her I'll tell you a secret I think Dante still needs you to
25:58he tracked me down today at work just to let me know you had been moved here
26:05after you were hurt I I never told Dante that you were
26:12playing to tell him you still loved him I did think about it it just it didn't
26:19seem fair I thought he would want for him to move on you know be happy and he
26:27is happy but that doesn't mean he he doesn't need you to so if that counts
26:38for anything
26:40please fight your way back for him too okay okay almost ready can I help you
26:48with anything else no everything's taken care of but thank you still I
26:55appreciated what you said at the church I like to think that both of our
27:01Irene's are up there in heaven watching over us and taking care of each other
27:08you know I always thought it was Irene who brought you back to us after we had
27:13lost you for so long and with both Irene's together I'm sure there'll be
27:19raining down blessings on us I certainly hope so
27:27Christina was never going to give up Irene she had an affidavit all prepared
27:32saying that she was the mother and wanted to retain custody in the kicker
27:36that Alexis was helping her
27:40TJ gonna need the blessing the most he lost a child a child that's the kind of
27:48pain nobody can bear and he can't shoulder that pain alone he gonna need

34:12worried about that for months but this baby was conceived because TJ and Molly
34:17so desperately wanted to be parents Christina would have never even thought
34:21about having a baby if it wasn't for them that part and so for Christina to
34:27go back on her word and betray her sister and TJ by deciding to keep the
34:31baby it's unforgivable and and for Alexis to help Christina knowing what it
34:38would do to Molly and TJ that baby was his biological child and what should
34:45have been the happiest moments of Molly and TJ's lives who would have quickly
34:49devolved into a custody battle I promise you if that precious little baby had
34:57survived Christina and Alexis would have been in for the fight of their life if
35:01they thought they're gonna take my grandchild away from me how do your
35:05stitches feel do you need another pain pill cares about my stitches my baby is
35:11dead and my sister is blaming me your sister is in pain too and she's lashing
35:20out and as cliche as it sounds sometimes the people we love the most are the most
35:26capable of hurting us none of that excuses Molly's behavior I think this is
35:32an opportune time to remind you that you are named after my sister Christina who
35:40I loved very much and we didn't always get along but I loved her fiercely and I
35:48was devastated at her death and I miss her and I would give just about anything
35:56to be able to talk to her again now you and Molly are still here and you are at
36:03odds and I get how critical this is but you are gonna have to find a way to
36:10repair your relationship Molly is blaming me for my baby's death I will
36:18never forgive her funny thing is I know how this is all gonna end mom and Sam
36:24will plead Christina's case to me they'll say she's emotional and fragile
36:29right now and they'll say we're sisters Davis girls that should always come
36:35first I mean they'll probably encourage me to suck it up be the bigger person
36:41apologize to Christina say all the right things that will make her feel better
36:45and who knows maybe they'll catch me in a weak moment and I'll even do it but
36:50you don't want to oh I will never forgive Christina every time I visit my
36:56daughter's grave or walk past the room that should have been her nursery I will
37:01know that it's Christina's fault that my baby is dead I know it's a Spencer
37:07tradition to pull off a win at the 11th hour because you used to love doing that
37:12and then you'd give me this smug smile it drove me crazy but I admired it
37:19admired you anyway it's officially the 11th hour Lulu so you need to pull out
37:27that win come back to us
37:33for Rocco and Charlotte for me
37:40for Dante
37:43when I was first getting to know lucky he told me how Lulu had a plastic anemia
37:49when she was a toddler and he told me how strong you were for her and that you
37:56never gave up on her well she needs that strength now and I know you're
38:02gonna give it to her thank you for saying that boy do I miss lucky I wish
38:13to God I knew where he was so I could bring him home
38:26you
38:31on the next general hospital I'm sorry I'm afraid it's not good news we have to
38:36locate Valentin without Brennan catching on what does Jack Brennan want with Jason
38:41I think there's something you and I haven't told me how did the doctors miss
38:44this
