00:00Good afternoon, it is now now you're sweet um dad you drove by I wanted to run something
00:26by you before other people in this town do oh my big doings in port charles
00:36holly's back in town saeed it's your favorite supplier do you have any updates for me
00:43on the ice well as exquisite as these treasures are i'm in a bit of a hurry to part with them
00:50call me the second that you hear
01:08you're on room service i uh took it off their hands i hope you don't mind it's a excellent
01:14vintage howdy violet your weekly letter to your dad yeah thought you liked writing to your dad
01:30i do but something bad happened at school and i don't know if i should tell him or not
01:36what happened this kid called my dad a drunk so i punched him
01:45thank you both for taking the time to come in of course violet is our number one priority
01:50we're just surprised she's never hit anyone before at home at least and not at school either
01:56this was a first not that it's any excuse but violet did tell us that the boy who she hit
02:02provoked her that's an ongoing issue with that student one we're taking very seriously we've
02:08contacted his family and we're hoping we can nip the bullying in the bud we hope so too but like i
02:13said hitting someone is never the answer oh we told violet that she understands what she did
02:19that's a great start but i think we might have to dig a little deeper
02:50okay would you slow down
02:54has bobby's ever run out of cookies you always say this is the first time for anything
03:00hello lucas you're back
03:04if you were here it's good to see you you too mommy what's that
03:34i'm sorry that boy said that to you that was extremely rude
03:46probably know what i'm gonna say next that i probably shouldn't have punched him correct
03:53getting upset is acceptable getting violent is not that's what uncle chase north brooklyn said
04:01they're very smart can i ask you a question always when my dad was on the floor
04:10asleep and he wouldn't wake up is that what being a drunk is
04:18violet your dad has an illness and it's called alcoholism for some people it's just fine to drink
04:29alcohol they have wine with dinner or a glass of champagne and it's just not a problem for them
04:36for my dad it is yeah for your dad it is but he knows it and he's getting help
04:43at a special hospital but if he knows it why doesn't he just stop
04:50because for some people it's just not that simple they have to teach themselves
04:57that they can't have it takes a really long time to learn that it does then i'm glad he's not home
05:04yet i don't want this lesson to stick me too first of all we appreciate you letting us know about
05:13violet's father of course that's important we're all on the same page absolutely luckily though
05:19violet is a super resilient kid i mean she's still getting excellent grades she doesn't hide out in
05:24her room she's involved in everything at home we found her to be a little more withdrawn at school
05:29you have both from her friends and her teachers violet has a massive support system we check in
05:35on her all the time probably too much i don't want you to panic a little late with such a big change
05:41in her life a shift in her behavior is to be expected we just want to make sure we're doing
05:46everything on our end to help violet not just survive but thrive are you saying that she's not
05:52doing that i'd invite you in but i make it a policy to never do that with strangers that allow
06:03me to introduce myself jack brennan station chief of the wsb post in port charles well nice to meet
06:11you jack brennan can i trouble you to do the honors oh no trouble at all
06:22as flattered as i am to be paid a visit i can't imagine what the wsb wants with me
06:33your expertise
06:34please subject jen's sit well and there's diamond mine operation in east africa
06:45wiley this is your great uncle lucas i have a great uncle you sure do cool

06:59well that's good to meet you wiley you too
07:10it's uh it's good to see you yeah you too sorry we haven't been in touch you've been busy
07:19this is an excuse hey you guys found each other we did you know i was hoping you would
07:29but i don't think the hub's right place for a reunion do you want to come with me to the
07:34break room do you have time yeah yeah i have time come on
07:50so how did uh you and sidwell meet
07:54we share a taste for the finer things in life oh and we will find ourselves in the same
08:06hotels restaurants casinos jen's eventually introduced himself and the rest is history
08:18what can you tell me about his operation
08:20um our relationship was personal not business and jen's kept his business
08:28very close to the best i'm not surprised but if i'd known what he was up to
08:37you don't believe me well you do have a reputation for uh
08:43how does one say infiltrating and difficult to get to places as well as difficult to get to people
08:50you've done it for the wsb many times this was not that i only became aware of who
09:00jen's truly was when anna and jason arrived and from that point on i was only focused on helping
09:08get lucky home i see
09:11me as the head of the wsb of fort charles you must have ordered their drone strikes
09:20on jen's compound oh i can neither confirm nor deny you could have killed all of us and yet
09:31here you are alive and well
09:34a bold decision like that reminds me of a former wsb agent that i had the pleasure of
09:46knowing quite well let me guess uh the one and only robert scorpio
09:54holly's back yeah i wanted you to know why
10:02i don't want there to be anything between us i don't want to be keeping anything from you so
10:12i apologize for the way i acted last time okay any other reason yeah
10:21you're my present and future holly's my past
10:25i feel exactly the same way i mean i really am sorry for that jesus i know it created
10:32a lot of doubts i don't want there to be any doubts hey robert scorpio as long as your lips
10:41only touch my lips no doubts maybe we should
10:48i mean we should
10:51practice i think that's a great idea
10:56you know your father loves you very much don't you do you think he's scared
11:06i think he's determined he's working very hard to get well as for that boy uh what was his name
11:15garth garth
11:19garth shouldn't have talked to you like that
11:23it was wrong but you gave him exactly what he wanted guys wanted me to punch him
11:32garth wanted to upset you and by hitting him you showed him that he did upset you
11:39you don't ever want to give people like that satisfaction what do i do if it happens again
11:45okay you take a deep breath get yourself together and you say

25:24that was rough back there it was fine lucas wiley was your son for over a year
25:33that's why i left port charles i need to condition myself to not feel like wiley's dad
25:40did that work wiley is michael's son there's no gray area anymore so seeing him was just okay
25:48oh i mean it grabbed me by the chest for sure but he's so big and outgoing and adorable
25:59oh what struck me the most was how happy he was and secure with two loving parents
26:11and an amazing life what more could you want for your kid nothing when i learned that wiley wasn't
26:18mine i did the only thing i could and gave him to michael knowing that michael would give him
26:22a wonderful life that was right he has have you ever considered telling wiley truth about him and
26:32lucas i have uh but i'm not sure how to explain it maybe we can figure it out together when you're
26:43ready i'm ready
26:52but
26:56wiley there's something your dad and i want to talk to you about
27:01am i in trouble why do you think you're in trouble
27:05because when i am you usually start with that no you're not you're not in trouble
27:09oh we want to share something with you it's about your uncle lucas
27:18who sent you what never mind it was obviously grandmother
27:23sir violet fane has an impeccable record at this school so to reduce her to a single isolated
27:29incident is absurd and will be met with the appropriate legal action okay stop uh principal
27:36ford i'm so sorry would you mind if we had a private moment miss miller of course thank you
27:50what are you doing tracy contacted me told me that there had been an issue now look the best
27:57way to go on offensive in a case like this is to put the school on the defensive make this
28:02their problem there's no problem the school is being great we're handling it together okay
28:10well look tracy called and i gave him a now if i came in a trifle hot just a trifle a trifle
28:17hot it's because i fight hard for the people that i care about and one of those people happens to be
28:23violent thank you luckily the school cares about her too we're handling this well that's great
28:31okay okay of course if any of that ever changes we know who to call yes
28:38yes
28:44we're so sorry about the interruption we didn't know miss miller was coming
28:49that much was clear it won't happen again well i'm pleased with the progress we've made today
28:55so are we a lot of parents come in with their backs up blaming the school and it's difficult
29:01to find common ground i just want to do what's best for violet and we appreciate your input
29:07and what that means with you on her side i think violet's gonna be just fine
29:17i haven't seen robert yet i wanted to what stopped you
29:22you mac he said wouldn't be fair to keep popping up in robert's life not if i couldn't stay in it
29:36and he's right you can't avoid robert altogether the last time felt so final robert was really
29:44upset i was really upset and then i'll never forget the look on his face when he said that
29:51he couldn't see a future for us together and what if he meant it you and robert have an ocean
30:00of history together don't make that choice for him you need to find the way forward together
30:10you do realize that's the exact opposite of what mac told me to do
30:14i will all handle mac you deal with the other scorpio brother
30:23how's your day going oh you know i'm just totally freaking out why
30:32aiden and lucky are in the break room they're talking and they have a lot to catch up on
30:39things like aiden being gay he told you are you surprised i mean come on spaces don't come safer
30:46than me yes that's true do you think he'll tell lucky no i mean i hope so i but he might not
30:57because i know he's still unsure of his relationship with his dad but i i really want aiden to know
31:05aiden to know lucky i want him to know how loving and patient and funny he is and i want
31:12lucky to know how incredible aiden is then trust that they'll recognize that in each other
31:19and that it'll all be okay okay thank you i've got this

32:30mean we we ran a diner in british columbia the triple l you didn't know that oh luke lauren lucky
32:39yeah and uh my dad actually did a lot of the cooking and baking oh grandpa luke is

35:13with uncle lucas back then lucas was what mommy and daddy are do you know
35:22someone who fed you took care of you played with you bought me cookies well you were too

36:07but i looked up and there was smelly i'm glad everything worked out for you and spinelli
36:12thanks turns out i just needed to open up my eyes and see what was right in front of me
36:17are you insinuating that my eyes are closed more like half masked
36:22i'm gonna tell you something and you have to hear it when do i ever not listen
36:27please don't answer that do not set me up or push me towards a relationship
36:36i don't want to deal with that right now i mean it maxi but what happens if the perfect guy just
36:45falls out of the sky the perfect guy doesn't exist let's just say he does well then i would
