02:20it seems to be the problem nothing my little Lizzie Beth can't fix
02:51hmm what are you doing here blood test but they kept me twiddling my thumbs for
02:59so long I missed chow time at Bentonville and apparently I had the
03:03audacity to request dinner and then when I pointed out that they forgot my jello
03:07your subordinate got very huffy this is not a hotel you're not honoring room
03:13service no no I understand that sweetheart and I'm grateful truly it's
03:17just that we don't have jello at Bentonville or pudding or anything that
03:22jiggles really except things that shouldn't like meat so I was just so
03:26looking forward to that jello okay I'm gonna get you something special from the
03:31cafeteria if you promise to take it easy on my staff of course the last thing in
03:37the world I want is to make any trouble for you or for me I mean God forbid
03:42that I should jeopardize my jeopardize your what can you keep a secret it
03:51depends soon I'm gonna have access to all the jello I want I am fixin to go
04:00free Lou's condition has changed that's why
04:04she had to be moved to General Hospital changed how a routine blood test came
04:09back with flagged results Lulu's liver has been compromised likely due to the
04:15medication she's been given while she's in a coma your cousin has cirrhosis and
04:20she will need a liver transplant to live test me
04:27so tell me how are you are you taking care of yourself in here I'm in one
04:34piece how's ace oh he's growing up wonderfully I have pictures I brought
04:41them for you here look at that smile no he's really a happy kid he smiles and
04:51laughs all the time hitting his milestones oh yes everyone was flying
04:56colors matter of fact he just learned how to say the word no except get this
05:01he can say it in three languages so he says no no and he says nine is because
05:14his babysitter is a language major mmm my little cosmopolitan yeah just like
05:21his father and his big brother
05:26and how are you I'm guessing not good considering the last-minute flight and
05:34pulled strings for this visit yeah we have a problem that's part of why I need
05:41you to toe the line in this place not just for your own sake but also for your
05:45sister's sake what's going on with Lulu she needs you
05:53to what do I owe the visit I don't know I guess I just wanted some company mine
06:07when I thank you for being here
06:13it helps me knowing that you're here for Lulu if she gets into trouble I am NOT
06:21here to make things easier on you well I know but it does you've always had a
06:27special place in Lulu's heart she and mine you stepped up for her a lot of
06:35times you also knew when to step aside which is impressive
06:42you helped shape Lulu cut her loose on the world oh I can't take responsibility
06:50for that no thank you well she would be the first person to give you that credit
06:54for who she became she became someone I don't even recognize do you need a ride
07:00somewhere if your phone is out of juice you can use mine to call TJ my phone's
07:04fully charged I'm just not ready to go anywhere not yet at least I don't want
07:10to face my family funeral is taxing in ways I did not anticipate and I'm just
07:18still putting myself back together
07:22telling me to take a hike is always an option noted but if you do want to talk
07:29about it I blow up at my mom and my sister I mean I said some really awful
07:38things I've been there I had all sorts of fights with my family before I finally
07:41took off you don't talk to them at all anymore no but I'm like it doesn't have
07:48to be that way for you there's still time to patch things up to what end so I
07:54suck it up and I apologize when I'm not actually sorry and I what suppress my
08:00feelings because my sister is a walking disaster and my mom doesn't have time
08:06for anyone else apologizing would just bring things back to the status quo and
08:10honestly I think that I would rather have nothing than have that promise I'm
08:15not gonna stay long I can't have an appointment with Satan Christina's
08:22upstairs so keep your voice down well I'm glad to see that you're taking care
08:25of Sonny's offspring mine not so much oh it's good to see your fraternal
08:29inferiority complex hasn't improved I'm trying to help who you and Molly she's
08:36hurting Alexis not just over losing the baby Molly's upset with the way you've
08:40been treating her and how have I been treating like an afterthought don't
08:44argue just listen our daughter is in pain and she holds you accountable not
08:48for all of it but part of it now you have a chance to change that and I
08:52suggest you seize that chance or you're not gonna get another one
08:57close pit stop now aren't you run literally while you still can I'm just
09:02absorbing with horror it's always seemed like you and your mom had a great
09:09relationship in a lot of ways we do I mean we we get along well we can talk to
09:19each other about almost anything my mom respects me and that's mutual and in
09:24many measures she is the definition of a good mother okay but what about the
09:30other measures look I know that there are so many people who have it way
09:36worse I mean I was raised in a safe and stable home where all my needs were met
09:41and I know that my mother loves me to the extent that our circumstances allow
09:46those circumstances being my mom raised a family all on her own and I commend
09:53her for that I do but any one individual only has so much time and energy to go
09:58around so when one member of the family is unable to stand on her own two feet
10:03in her power then that member gets more love more understanding more time and
10:08the rest of us learn to live with less I need your advice like I need an acid
10:13bath you know instead of immediately jumping at the defense why don't you
10:17just try listening for once I'm sorry am I taking parental advice from absentee
10:23daddy you have not got a leg to stand on okay look I know I haven't been around
10:28much much I haven't been around period but don't let that be the excuse for
10:31why you don't help you know make things right with Molly look Alexis she was
10:35crying on my shoulder after the funeral for hours and I tried to reassure her
10:40that you were gonna reach out and try to fix it and you never call I'm going to
10:45I just haven't had a chance because I'm too busy trying to protect post-op
10:48postpartum post-arrested Christina from having a nervous break corners then
10:53she's my daughter's always Molly okay she needs you just as much as her sister
10:58does I am trying not hard enough look all you needed to do was let Molly know
11:03that she was on your mind and your heart Molly knows that she's in both of those
11:08places she doesn't feel it you understand there's no doctor-patient
11:14confidentiality here right I can't keep quiet about an escape attempt Elizabeth
11:22no no no you are looking at Heather 2.0 I from now on I'm gonna do things the
11:29right way the legal way are you appealing your sentence Scott Baldwin
11:35took my case he told me it's a slam-dunk speaking of he's actually supposed to be
11:41overseeing these blood tests and meeting me here yet seen him have you I haven't
11:46no one has Scott's gone really flexing your mayoral muscle bring your own lab
11:55tech with you well time is of the essence and it really isn't that much of
12:01a flex all I needed to arrange having you moved back to Port Charles is a
12:05simple blood test that just proves that your liver is healthy and it's
12:09functioning since we both know I'm already a match for Lulu yeah so the
12:13infirmary said that they will have the test back within the hour so when we
12:17get that we can fly home can't wait yeah but Nicholas the surgery is not without
12:26it forget the risks I do anything for Lulu you know that I do I just hope it's
12:33enough it was last time lose the same person she was when she went into that
12:39coma prizes me none that you don't see it don't see what Dante what do you
12:49remember about Lulu when you first met her
12:57she was a handful she was fiery and mischievous and she was always up to
13:06something she was confident she didn't take crap from anybody yeah
13:11Lulu kicks a mess she did and then she changed she became insecure and cautious
13:19and and conservative in her approach to life okay maybe I'm not so grateful that
13:25you're here after all no fun having me hold up a mirror showing you what you
13:28did and what did I do Lulu had spirit determination courage you robbed her of
13:39it
13:44Molly feels that way but she knows that it's patently untrue then tell her
13:50because right now she feels that Christina is getting the lion's share of
13:53the attention because Christina will crumble without it
13:56you've you saw her you saw her at the funeral she is about to lose it she
14:01almost died their baby did die she's recovering from surgery she's recovering
14:06from postpartum and she has a real threat that she's gonna lose her freedom
14:09and she just doesn't possess the tools to be able to navigate that without my
14:13help and Molly does in a word yes Wow you don't think that I want to be
14:20spending every minute with Molly right now because I do but I am one person and
14:25I can't be in both places at the same time both my girls are suffering a
14:30profound loss right now but one of them is able and more equipped to handle it
14:35than the other and that is Molly do you think that your mom would agree
14:40with your evaluation of our family dynamic when Christina's in play no God
14:48no but but there's no denying the facts I mean Christina is a mess like she
14:53always has been she always will be she simply could not function without our
14:58mother's oversight luckily I figured that out young okay and how did that
15:04play out I learned to be strong and independent problem solver you know I
15:11mean this might sound vain but I I learned to be excellent not because it
15:16was demanded of me but because I knew that if I asked for more my mother would
15:21kill herself trying to give it to me and my sister would suffer as a result
15:26this is the one thing isn't it you said you and your mom could talk about almost
15:31anything this is the exception you're very perceptive my dad abused us he
15:40hurt my whole family and because of that my brothers have hurt people too I'm so
15:47sorry it was it was our mom that got the worst of it did she think about
15:52leaving I always wondered maybe she thought that that's what love was or
15:58that she didn't deserve any better I bet she wanted to leave she's didn't know
16:03how do you think she was scared of your dad if she left no one would go with her
16:13I wish I had asked I I wish I had told her that I was on her side but instead I
16:19just took off and never looked back
16:24you never asked your mom for more because you assumed she couldn't give it
16:28but maybe she didn't give it because you never asked that's right walk away
16:36memory serves you're good at that huh I didn't change Lulu your absence did you
16:44left and it shattered her I was sick Tracy I had PTSD I understand and you
16:51sought help alone away from your family outside of your marriage because I
16:57didn't want to hurt my family I didn't want to drag them down with me oh nobody
17:01dragged Lulu anywhere at least not then she vowed to stay by your side when you
17:07were at your weakest your most vulnerable despite the fact that you
17:12slept with her cousin and you turned her away I didn't want to do that
17:21it doesn't matter what you wanted to do it matters what you did do you abandoned
17:25your wife you shattered her confidence she became a shadow of herself and if
17:35she dies Dante if she dies without ever reclaiming that spark that she inherited
17:42from her father I will never forgive you well you know what Tracy I can live the
17:47rest of my life without your forgiveness so why don't you save that you keep that
17:52for yourself
17:56what are you thinking about when I first saw Lulu after her operation you know I
18:06still have a mark on the small of my back from where they drew the bone
18:11marrow yeah I bet it would hurt more huh and they told me to take it easy for a
18:16while but I couldn't wait to see Lulu and make sure she was okay I know you
18:23brought her flowers to a toddler I should have brought a stuffed animal or
18:28toy or something well it's the thought that counts and besides what did you
18:33know about babies back then or about sisters yeah but you saw a little girl
18:41who needed your protection and care and you know what you told her that you were
18:46going to do that for her yeah I said those same words to my boys too
18:56tell me mom is it too late for me will I ever atone for destroying my family
19:05I know that Lulu's brother Nicholas is already a confirmed match but I'd still
19:10like to be tested just in case it's very selfless of you to want to help Lulu in
19:15that way she's my cousin but from what Sherina told me you're already at organ
19:21donor recipient yourself isn't that right yes yes
19:24Jocelyn had childhood kidney cancer that makes you ineligible to donate even if
19:30you're a match oh you'd be surprised at how many factors come into play um I
19:37don't think any apply to me can I be tested let's get the ball rolling
19:46can you draw Carly Spencer's blood it's for a liver function panel absolutely as
19:51soon as Elizabeth relieves me she's still in there with the Pentonville
19:55patient I'm sure it won't be much longer you know actually I can keep an eye on
20:01things here and draw blood at the same time it's called multitasking right what
20:07do you mean Scott's gone where I just know he's out of town indefinitely
20:14indefinitely I guess some big possibly lucrative case fell in his lap no but I
20:20have a big possibly lucrative case and Scott is supposed to represent me he
20:26told me that he was gonna get me out of that hellhole to be with my grandson we
20:31have plans you know what I say about plans God laughs and so do I
20:44so what brings you here from Pentonville a court order my lawyer
21:01wherever he may be pushed it through Scott Baldwin arranged for a blood test
21:07Scott Baldwin the same Scott Baldwin that left you high and dry I believe the
21:13order stands regardless dr. Robinson I'll take care of this there's no need
21:25I would be more than happy to take others blood your reasoning which may be
21:32spot-on it doesn't change the fact that Molly thinks in her eyes that you are
21:37choosing Christina over her I have never done that I never will really what about
21:42the the document that you found in your briefcase misunderstood I'll be it
21:45understand Alexis your relationship with your daughter is in jeopardy do you
21:51understand yeah yeah I do I get it I get it Rick I do my relationship with my
21:56daughter that I've had since the day she was born no breaks no hiatus the entire
22:02time so I will wear my relationship with my daughter against your long-distance
22:06phone calls any damn day of the week you don't think I know my daughter no I
22:13think I know her better I also I know you you know you show up here with this
22:19flashy righteous argument despite it's it's it's logical flaws such as Molly
22:26strong Christina's weak therefore Molly needs to be broke she requires more than
22:30you're giving her except she doesn't deserve it yes I know and do I want to
22:36give it to her of course I want to give it to her but it's about need right now
22:39and Christina needs more because she can't handle less and Molly knows that
22:43and she will understand that eventually what if she doesn't
22:55I pray you're right
22:59I'll call you later okay I love you love you too
23:15whatever dad said I wish he didn't I can fight my own battles is that what this
23:21is now there maybe you came by to work things out with your sister not with
23:27Christina with you I believe in you Nicholas makes one of us I guess the
23:35proof is standing right here in front of me you turned yourself in you saved Ace
23:40from a life on the run you made the selfless choice just like you did for
23:45Lulu all those years ago and you're about to do that again it is so hard to
23:52hold on to that in here okay all right I get it I get that you're struggling in
23:56here but you can do this you can survive and and that's how you atone you
24:04serve this sentence you get out of here and you come home and you'd be a good
24:07father to them
24:15and you save your sister
24:21before you delve any deeper let me just warn you that I have lived too long and
24:25experienced too much to waste time dwelling on my past mistakes what about
24:31promises you ever think about those what promises I bet you promised Laura that
24:35Lulu would have the best care possible and she has it right I'm sure since you
24:40promised Laura that you probably promised Luke something too maybe you
24:43promised him the world maybe something like Lulu will will always have top
24:49notch treatment she will always be cared for maybe you even told him that you'd
24:54be able to wake her up you'd use all your money and all your resources and
24:57you treat Lulu as if she were your own daughter maybe that's what Luke thought
25:03of as his life flashed before his eyes the promises you made to him maybe gave
25:08him comfort knowing that you'd be there to look after his little girl you've
25:15kept almost all your promises Tracy but Lulu has nothing to show for it
25:26what is it
25:30you can't do it you can't help Lulu
25:38guess who I'd recognize those hands anywhere right Tracy Lulu wanted me to
25:52stick it out whether she wanted to help for us to do everything together she
25:55even told me that if I left that was the end of it there would be no coming back
25:59didn't that scare you yeah terrified me but the alternative was worse I was more
26:05afraid of what would happen if I stayed so I left better to abandon than be
26:14abandoned I know what I did was wrong
26:22but it's done now
26:26and she's fading away in there and there's
26:30there's just nothing I can do about it
26:35there must be some mistake of course I'm a match we already know this Lulu has my
26:40bone marrow it's not because of that okay well what else could it possibly be
26:45the test shows that your liver functionality doesn't meet the criteria
26:51for donation but I'm not sick and I'm certainly not drinking in here your
26:56liver is fine it's okay for you but it's not fine enough for donation no I
27:05don't know how this could have happened
27:11so I hear you want to get tested to help Lulu yes please great I'm assuming Laura
27:17will also get tested just in case Nicholas can't donate for whatever
27:20reason I'd like to also add my name to the National Registry I mean who knows
27:26maybe one day I can give a gift like the one Jocelyn received god I remember
27:31that so clearly how sick she was how how hard it was for you that's pretty hard
27:38for you too you know if someone had told me all those years ago that there would
27:44come a time when you and I were actually friendly if not friends hell just not at
27:50each other's throats exactly I would have a believed them it's too bad so
27:55many of the things that tie us together they're just so awful yeah
28:03here comes one of those things now
28:08you
28:13all done you know you have a really nice bedside manner when you want to you
28:21didn't really think I was gonna hurt you did you I certainly thought you'd be
28:25tempted that's another difference between us I don't give in to every
28:28temptation that arises besides I took an oath one that I take very seriously and
28:34I intend on living up to I was referring to Portia the mother not the
28:39doctor so pain is vengeance yeah that's not my style you may not believe this
28:46but hurting people was never my goal just a pesky byproduct of a bad hip
28:52implant then in my mind I truly thought that I was just protecting Esme maybe we
29:00do have something in common because you clearly would go to great lengths for
29:03your daughter and make no mistake so will I Christina is a lost cause you
29:11don't mean that there's no mending fences unless both parties are willing
29:15to put in the work in order to do that Christina would have to a acknowledge
29:20that she has actually done anything wrong and be offer a sincere apology
29:24neither of those things are going to happen so I have no illusions about my
29:29sister and I'm certainly not expecting anything more from her I am hopeful for
29:35more from you I'm listening what more do you want from me
29:45understanding empathy acknowledgement of what I am
29:50navigating right now I know you're navigating hell and I want you to know
29:58that I will do anything I can to get you to the other side of it you can tell
30:03me the truth always
30:10if I rain had lived would you have helped Christina take her away from TJ
30:20disappointed you already know the answer to that what was too late to see
30:28Lulu I wanted to stay but my mom kind of kicked me out how come um there was
30:36nothing really left for me to do there and she said I should just go live my
30:42life remind me to thank her so you are glad I'm here of course I am hard to
30:51turn it off though isn't it the worry
30:56there's a chance that Lulu will be okay and I'm just trying to stay optimistic
31:02about that but bad things can happen and I just don't want this to be another
31:08thing added to the list let's pray that it won't be she came to me with the
31:16document and she asked for my legal opinion and you told her I told her what
31:23I told all of you all along that if she asserted herself in court it would
31:28probably go her way I also told her that I wouldn't get involved at all if I'd
31:36given her a hard no in her condition I would have lost her just like I stand to
31:41lose you now I've got three daughters who I love more than anything in this
31:47world equally imperfectly perfect they are but I couldn't bear to lose any of
31:58them ever you haven't lost me
32:10well look what the cat dragged in I'm in time for an infant's funeral Carly the
32:17attitude really necessary I don't know was chaining me to a wall necessary I'm
32:24sorry for Molly and TJ's loss thank you how are you dealing with all of it what
32:33Elizabeth really means is what are you doing at the hospital I have business
32:38you had business the memorial service but now that's over so now you can go
32:43back to whatever hole you crawled out of always good to see you Carly
32:50we get an opportunity to catch up
32:55that can't be good I'm not a threat anymore you don't need to protect Trina
33:04from me well now I don't have to Scott's gone and you are far too toxic for
33:10another lawyer to take you on so you Heather will spend the rest of your days
33:14in Pentonville where you belong excuse me I'm sorry you can't be in here
33:19Heather Weber yeah that's me I'm in the right place is Heather your patient did
33:27Pentonville send you no Scott Baldwin did Heather was his client now she's mine
33:32I'm Rick Lansing your attorney
33:37I'd like a word alone
33:41is this really happening yes it is now let's get you out of prison and make
33:53those bastards that hurt you pay
33:56I should not have said what I said apology accepted did you hear me
34:13apologize I stand by what I said it's just that my timing could use some work
34:21beating up on you now accomplishes nothing well you can beat up on me all
34:26you want I can take it look Tracy I know you don't have a whole lot of use for me
34:34and it's not like I mentioned to be your best friend either but you're important
34:39Lulu and that makes you important to me you've gotten her through more than a
34:49few tough times I'm just hoping you got one more left in you because right now
34:56Lulu needs you more than ever she needs both she needs both of us
35:09it's gonna be okay but you were a match look just because I can't help doesn't
35:18mean no one else can Lulu has other relatives including a mother who will
35:24do anything to save her you have to find him mom
35:30for Leslie Lou find lucky and bring him home
35:38you
35:45hey
