00:00Dante. Hey. Uh, sorry for showing up like this. You're my son. You can show up here
00:09anytime you want. I just, uh, you know, I didn't know where else to go. Who else to
00:16talk to? Does this have to do with Lulu waking up? Deputy Mayor. Dr. Cannon. Clearly I'm
00:30in the wrong place. Says who? Good morning. Hey, Christina. Are you here to see Maxie?
00:40Because she stepped out up, but I can give her a message for you. No, I'm not here to
00:44see Maxie. Actually, I'm here to see you. Hey. Hey, thanks for coming. Yeah, you sounded
00:56troubled on the phone. What's up? See for yourself.
01:06Holly moved out.
01:13She's gone.
01:18Sweetie, you need to take a breather. I can't. Well, I'll make you some tea, okay?
01:25Okay. Some honey? Maybe later, but there's still a car full of boxes to unload. Okay, I'll help.
01:30I just want to get it done, Mom. You just want to not think about your heartbreak.
01:37Some people don't think I have a heart. Well, then they're stupid because you
01:41have a beautiful heart and it's breaking. Yeah, okay. Well, I just, I don't want to
01:44think about it right now. Okay. Honey, you're grieving, okay?
01:51Take a break. If I stop moving, I will fall apart.
02:00We still have areas in Africa and the Eastern Bloc where we're lacking coverage.
02:04Let me see how I can pull from the current assignment. No need. The answer to our
02:12prayers just walked in. You seem a bit nervous. Oh, more like bracing for impact.
02:21Is this wise? Which bit? The entire operation. We all want the same thing,
02:29don't we, Spinelli? Get Charlotte out of Valentine's web and return her to her
02:34mother, yes. Yeah. Lulu has been separated from her daughter for too long.
02:40Oh, why am I here? Come in. Why are you here? We need to step up the search for
02:56Valentine. We have to bring Charlotte back to her mother. Okay, I agree. I'm just
03:01not quite sure how I can help you. Are you willing? Of course I'm willing.
03:06Lulu's my cousin. I'll do anything I can to help. Including planting a bug on
03:10Jack Rennon?
03:12What floor am I on? Five. I got that part right. I'm looking for the notary
03:41office. Yeah, it is three doors down on the left. There's no sign on it, just a
03:48sticker with a surfboard on it. Ah, because that screams notary public.
03:52Doesn't it? GH business? How'd you know? My son works there and I recognize the
04:02header on the stationery. Good eye. Employment agreement. You did it. You
04:09accepted the offer. Yeah, looks like I'll be sticking around. No way. I cannot let
04:18you sign that contract. Lulu was determined to get out of there, huh?
04:24Yeah, Cyrus Renaud was hanging around there for some reason. Good instincts.
04:32Worthy of the Spencer name. Yeah, Luke would have been proud of her, that's for
04:37sure. How you doing? Hey, Lulu's awake. That's what Rocco and I were praying for
04:41this whole time. Her son got his mother back. Just trying to figure out what life
04:46looks like now. I was already trying to figure out what it was gonna look like
04:52with Sam gone and now Lulu's back. Look, I still don't know how to deal with this.
04:59You're the one who's like the king of blending families, right? I don't
05:03know about that. I do. I do. You got all these kids from different relationships.
05:07You kept us all together all these years. How do I do the same thing for Rocco and
05:11Danny and Scout? How do I balance the fact that Rocco's over the moon because
05:15his mom is back and Danny and Scout are so grief-stricken over losing theirs?
05:21Mr. Morgan, this is my deputy chief, Colette Morrow. Nice to meet you, Mr. Morgan.
05:27I hope your presence here means that you're taking me up on my offer.
05:31Colette and I were just discussing the need for new blood. Ideally with skills like yours.
05:37I'm not here about that. Colette, if you wouldn't mind giving us a moment?
05:42Of course. Thank you.
05:50You have my attention. I'm not sure if you've heard, but Lulu Spencer woke up.
05:55Well, that's wonderful. Carly and her family must be thrilled.
05:58Yeah, Charlotte Cassidyne needs to come home to her mother.
06:02Yeah, you know, I could have sworn that we'd discussed that. I don't know where Valentin is.
06:07Then you lie. Just stop.
06:11Are you out of your mind?
06:13No, I feel quite sane, actually.
06:15Why would you think I could get a bug anywhere near Jack Brennan?
06:17You're one of the few people that he trusts.
06:19Spinelli, can you tell her she's crazy? Spinelli!
06:23Our esteemed commissioner does have a point. The man has taken his shine to you.
06:27Okay. Let's say I do this. And I'm not saying I'm going to do it.
06:32Why do you think that Jack knows where Valentin is?
06:35Spinelli has been searching for him.
06:37Indeed I have. And it's as if he absconded with Charlotte into thin air. There's no trace, no trail, no anything.
06:43And no one disappears that smoothly without help. The kind of help that you get from a powerful man like Brennan.
06:49Are you saying that Jack helped Valentin escape?
06:53The WSB and Valentin, they both had ties to Pikeman, right?
06:57So that gives Brennan perfect motive to keep Valentin gone, which we all know that he has the means to do that.
07:02Okay, why don't you just ask Jack if he did it?
07:04He says he has no knowledge of his whereabouts.
07:06Maybe he's telling the truth.
07:07He's not.
07:08Jack's a friend. And he's done more than one favor for me.
07:12Including finding Lucky and bringing him home. And he saved all of you and Somalia. Do you remember that?
07:17Of course I remember that. Yes, Brennan can be very charming.
07:20He can also be useful when he decides to be. But Carly, make no mistake, favors and information are his currency.
07:28I understand your misgivings. But if Georgie was forced to go on the run with someone as nefarious as Valentin,
07:35I know I'd do whatever it would take to find her. And I imagine you'd do the same for Jocelyn and Donna.
07:41Of course I would. Fine, I'll do it. Give me the bug.
07:48Just so we're clear, I'm doing this to prove you wrong.
07:52Understood.
07:59I wanted to thank you.
08:01For what?
08:02You saved me in the courtroom yesterday.
08:04Oh, all I did was testify.
08:06We both know what you said isn't what actually happened. I'm the one who swerved into your lane.
08:10And if the court and the jury actually heard what really happened, that would have helped the defense.
08:15Who's to say what happened that night?
08:16Me. I am. I know you committed perjury.
08:20I just told the truth as I remembered it.
08:25Will you at least let me be grateful?
08:27Okay.
08:31You're so, so welcome.
08:33Did you talk to Molly before she left?
08:36I came home from my mom's and she was packing up her things.
08:42She say anything?
08:43She say anything?
08:45Just that she's staying with her mom. Now.
08:50Oh, well, she certainly cleaned up.
08:54Yeah, that's Molly for you. She cleared out her stuff in the neatest, most orderly and efficient way possible and I wish I was surprised.
09:03Dee, I know you feel you and Molly grieve different.
09:05She's not grieving at all, Uncle.
09:08You should have seen the way she packed up her stuff today. It was just like when Irene died.
09:15She mourns her at the funeral and then just moves on and now our relationship's ending.
09:22And she calmly packs up her things and leaves.
09:26Dee, I'm sorry, man.
09:27No, no, no, no. Don't have any fear.
09:31Maybe not, but it is how you feel.
09:34I get what you're doing. You wanna do boxes, legal briefs, whatever.
09:41You just keep doing things so you feel like your life isn't spinning out of control.
09:46It's gotta be easier, right? Just staying in motion while I gradually pick up the pieces.
09:51I do the same thing, so I'm not here to tell you to do it differently.
09:55I'm just here to tell you that I'm your mom and that I will support you no matter what path you choose and I love you.
10:01I know.
10:03I also want to tell you this one thing and I really need you to hear it.
10:07None of this is your fault.
10:10I hear you. I don't know if I believe you.
10:15Charlotte's family will do whatever it takes to bring Charlotte home.
10:17I understand.
10:19I'm not sure you do. Lulu is awake and she's desperate to see her daughter.
10:24I'm sure she is.
10:25And the Spencers will weaponize everything.
10:28To locate Valentin.
10:30Now you told me if Anna found Valentin it wouldn't end well for her.
10:34Yeah, I stand by that statement.
10:36Okay, so get in touch with him.
10:38You tell Valentin I'll meet him wherever he wants. He gives me Charlotte. I bring her home.
10:43I'm not gonna track him. I'm not gonna try to bring him in. I won't even touch him.
10:47I bring Charlotte home to her mother. Valentin goes free.
10:52I'm offering it out.
10:53Take it.
10:57Just to remind you, we have a meeting.
10:59Oh, thank you, Colette.
11:01Mr. Morgan.
11:03It's always a pleasure.
11:05Just think about what I said.
11:13Oh, your timing's impeccable.
11:15Did you get anything useful out of him?
11:17No.
11:19Oh, your timing's impeccable.
11:21Did you get anything useful out of him?
11:24I did.
11:26Now we just need to figure out how to play it.
11:31I can't let you accept the job without looking over the offer.
11:35What do you know about contracts?
11:37Plenty. And I know even more about GH.
11:39Because your son works there?
11:41Well, that and the fact that I have access to other information.
11:45Hmm. Deputy Mayor, are you using your position to help a civilian?
11:51Beneficially. I can tell you that the hospital is due a windfall of federal money next year when a development plan gets a go-ahead.
12:04And I also know that GH can afford to pay up.
12:09But they can't afford to lose a surgeon like you.
12:12Why are you doing this?
12:13Maybe I like the idea of you sticking around.
12:16Maybe.
12:18Or maybe I feel like I owe you one.
12:23So what's it like, the three of you being together?
12:27It was like the pieces of a puzzle fitting back together, but like an old one because everything's different now.
12:35Changed.
12:37Danny and Scott are such a big part of Rocco's life.
12:39You think Danny and Scott will be resentful?
12:42I know Rocco's worried about that. He thinks they're going to be mad at him.
12:45Must be tough on Rocco. I mean, trying to balance, you know, happiness with their grief.
12:49Lulu's probably going to be spending a lot of time at the Quartermains, at least as long as Rocco's there.
12:55Understandable.
12:57I don't even know how to broach the subject of what happens if she wants him to spend some nights with her.
13:02I don't even know where that would be.
13:04You gotta slow down.
13:05You can't solve everything at once. You're going to lose your mind.
13:08I feel like that's already happening.
13:12Jack?
13:14I, um...
13:16Oh.
13:18I assume you're Carly Spencer. I've heard a lot about you.
13:22Wish I could say the same.
13:24I'm Colette Moho, Chief Brennan's second-in-command.
13:27Nice to meet you.
13:29Likewise.
13:31So, uh, where's Jack?
13:32He's finishing up a meeting in our war room.
13:35Oh, that sounds official. Most business conducted in the WSB is.
13:40Which begs the question, are you here to cause problems or help solve them?
13:44I'm here as a friend.
13:48Scaring off the locals, Colette?
13:51Hardly.
13:53I'd like a moment alone with Miss Spencer, please.
13:56Bien sur. Just don't allow yourself to get distracted for too long.
14:00Mm-hmm.
14:02Charming.
14:04WSB agents aren't usually very charming.
14:07I'm the exception.
14:09So, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
14:12Uh, well, I wanted to talk to you about my cousin Lulu.
14:16You know, it's wonderful that she's awake.
14:19You know?
14:21Yeah, your friend Jason stopped by to inform me.
14:23Probably to ask you the same thing I'm about to ask you right now.
14:26Uh-huh. And my answer remains the same.
14:29I don't know where Valentin Kassadin is.
14:34Oh, there you are.
14:36Yeah, I went to see Brendan.
14:38I thought you might.
14:40You said that you were going to give Valentin incentive to bring Charlotte back,
14:43and so the only way to get a message to him would be through Brendan.
14:45I told him all I want is Charlotte.
14:48Valentin brings her to me, and then whatever he does after that is his business.
14:51Is he going to set up the meeting?
14:53Well, I think he's smart enough to know that this is his best play.
14:56The equipment is a go.
14:58Um, what equipment?
15:00Jason.
15:02Spinelli.
15:04I was merely setting up a server for the commissioner.
15:06A server? Like the internet?
15:08The very one.
15:10And you would call Spinelli for that?
15:12No, I called Spinelli to help me set up a bug to put in Brendan's office.
15:16Oh, Jack Brendan. Probably the hardest person to plant a bug on.
15:20That's why I asked Carly to do the job.
15:22Why would you ask Carly?
15:24Well, because he likes her, and he trusts her.
15:26Anna, why would you put Carly in a dangerous situation? Seriously.
15:29She was married to Sonny. She knows how to handle herself.
15:32That doesn't justify throwing her in the line of fire.
15:34Nobody throws Carly anywhere.
15:36She's a grown woman with a mind of her own.
15:38Come on, Anna.
15:40If I may interject, we are on the same side in pursuit of the same thing.
15:44Bringing Charlotte home to her mom.
15:50One of the things about ending a relationship
15:53is that you always wind up being really mad at somebody you care about.
15:58And all the cheap shots, and the resentment for all the ways that you believe it was their fault.
16:05And I'm not going to mention specifics.
16:07Thank you for that.
16:09What I'm saying, nephew, is the way you feel is normal.
16:13So don't judge yourself.
16:15But at the same time, don't get trapped in it, okay?
16:18Eventually, you'll remember who Molly is.
16:20Then what?
16:22I'm not mad anymore. I'm just indifferent to her.
16:26That's not how I want to feel about Molly.
16:28She's Molly.
16:33She's been what my world has revolved around for so long.
16:39I'm not supposed to care anymore.
16:41No, not at all.
16:42No, not at all.
16:44Look, your mother and I have reached a place where I think we're friends.
16:51We can talk to and lean on each other again.
16:53Okay, but you're family, you have to get along.
16:56Okay, but there are plenty of families where divorce isn't at play.
16:59And they still can't be in the same room together.
17:02Your mother and I, we made a conscious decision to rebuild again as friends.
17:07And not husband and wife this time.
17:08So if that's what you and Molly want to do,
17:10or if you decide that this is temporary and you belong together.
17:14I don't think that's happening.
17:19What I'm saying, nephew,
17:21is don't let your anger put you in a box that you can't get out of.
17:26I shouldn't have told Christina not to go see Ava.
17:29She always does the opposite of what I say.
17:31Why would this time have been any different?
17:33Christina's responsible for her own actions.
17:34Yes, she is. And I am trying to hold myself responsible for mine.
17:38I mean, for instance, the last time I saw Sam,
17:41it's my fault that I was fighting with Christina
17:43instead of telling her how much I loved her
17:45and how proud I was of her for being Lulu's donor.
17:49What else?
17:51It's my fault TJ and I are breaking up.
17:54I couldn't do it.
17:56I couldn't grieve the baby the way that he needed me to.
17:59I was too focused on controlling my emotions
18:01and throwing myself into work
18:03and I couldn't be there for the boy who I have loved since I was 16.
18:07The man I was going to spend my entire life with.
18:10So that, that is my fault.
18:13I know what you said on the stand,
18:15and I know what you're saying now,
18:17but do we actually just agree
18:19that what happened the night of the almost accident,
18:22are we on the same page about that?
18:24Yeah, but why does that even matter?
18:26Because I need to know that I'm remembering it accurately.
18:29Because if I'm not,
18:31then maybe I'm also not remembering what really happened
18:34the night in Ava's hotel suite.
18:36Oh, sweetie.
18:38I got up on that stand and I swore under oath
18:40that Ava is what caused me to go through that window.
18:42That's what I remember.
18:44And I need to know that's what happened.
18:46I need to know that Ava is lying.
18:48Well, I mean, your dad has always told me
18:50that Ava's a consummate liar.
18:52She is. She lied about Connie and she lied about Morgan.
18:54Ava, this is what she does.
18:56Ava is lying. She's a liar.
18:57Well, you were thinking like a mother.
18:59You wanted justice for your child.
19:01You told your story. You asked the jury to believe you.
19:03I admire you for that.
19:05Rick Lansing, he was just waiting for you to take the stand.
19:09But you testified anyway.
19:11Well, I had to.
19:13But it was a beautiful act of maternal courage.
19:15There was no way I was going to let them
19:17undercut you with my testimony.
19:19A, who hasn't cried while they're driving, right?
19:22And B...
19:24I...
19:26What?
19:28This whole nightmare started with my horrible recording.
19:32Exactly.
19:34Ava recorded you without your knowledge
19:36and she released it to the entire world.
19:38And it's a recording that wouldn't have happened
19:40if I hadn't said the words.
19:42I mean, words that I would do anything to take back.
19:46They were horrible if I had said them about anyone,
19:49let alone my own daughter and the woman that she loves.
19:53I...
19:55I will literally regret it till the day I die.
19:59You know I'd help you if I could.
20:02I do.
20:04Could I have some water?
20:06Yeah, yeah, of course, of course.
20:08You know, I wish there was something that I could do for you,
20:13but I've been bending the rules so much lately
20:15that I have to be careful right now.
20:19Understood.
20:21And especially since I'm the one you've been
20:23mostly bending them for.
20:25Yeah.
20:29It's been a day.
20:31I'm sorry you're so on edge.
20:33Yeah, I just don't...
20:35I just don't know how to face Lulu.
20:37You know, she's waking up from a years-long nightmare
20:42and being slammed with another one.
20:43Well, luckily she has family to support her.
20:46Yes.
20:48I mean, when the explosion happened, Lulu and I weren't very close.
20:50We hadn't been for a long time.
20:52I'm just really hoping to change that, you know.
20:55So is that why you're so desperate to fix things for your cousin?
20:58You want to make up for lost time?
21:00What are you, my therapist now?
21:02Well, reading people is one of the requirements of my job.
21:05I'm sorry.
21:07For what?
21:09Asking for so much, you know.
21:11You just always seem to make the impossible possible.
21:16I just want you to know that I appreciate you.
21:20You're a good man, Jack.
21:34If I only are as good as you believe.
21:37It's not like I have a choice.
21:38As good as you believe.
21:40It's not like I held a gun to Carly's head.
21:43Smelly was here, tell him.
21:45Yeah, the commissioner was straightforward about the mission
21:47and Carly was willing to tackle it in order to prove Anna wrong.
21:49Carly thinks that Brennan's telling the truth about not knowing where Valentine is.
21:53Indubitably, yeah.
21:55Yeah, that's why you should have left Carly out of it, right there.
21:57That's the reason, because she believes that Brennan is somebody she can trust
22:00when we all know he's not.
22:02She's not in any danger.
22:04Not yet.
22:05That's why Brennan finds the bug and figures out Carly's the one who planted it.
22:10The young woman whose life you saved.
22:12Lucky sister, Lulu.
22:14Yeah, she's the ex-wife of a detective I used to work with.
22:18Dante Falconeri.
22:20Yeah, I met Dante when I was in the hospital.
22:23He was trying to find out who tried to kill me.
22:26Yeah, Lulu's absence was tough on his family.
22:31And I know that they were scared they were going to lose her.
22:35Because of you, they didn't.
22:37So looking over my contracts is just your way of saying thank you?
22:41It's the least you're owed.
22:43If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, you saved my life.
22:49You're not mistaken. But my job is serving the community.
22:54All in a day's work, huh?
22:56Pretty much.
22:58Well, serving my patients is my job.
23:01Then I guess we're both good at what we do.
23:05Molly, no one.
23:08No one could have stopped Christina from confronting Ava regarding that subpoena.
23:15And you had absolutely no control over how Ava would react.
23:19Are we ever going to know what really happened in that hotel room? Probably not.
23:24But whatever it was, you could not have stopped it.
23:28So let it go.
23:31It's really hard.
23:32It's especially hard because you grew up watching your mother try to control the world.
23:38And look how that turned out. At the bottom of a bottle.
23:42You climbed your way out.
23:44So will you.
23:49I want to say something to you.
23:54I understand that your last words with Sam were not what you wanted them to be.
23:59And you share that regret with your sister, and I'm sorry that you both have to carry that.
24:04But one thing that I want to say to you that I should have said
24:10is that I know that Christina holds a lot of blame for the rift between the two of you.
24:18I saw how she hurt you. I saw the pain she inflicted and how unfair it was.
24:23And while I tried to do everything I could to help you both,
24:28when I ask you to make peace with your sister,
24:31it is not me saying that Christina is right.
24:35Do you understand?
24:38Yeah.
24:40I'm upset right now, but you are right, Uncle. It's gonna be real cool.
24:47It will, man.
24:48And eventually, you'll start to see things more clearly.
24:52Yeah.
24:54And you'll be able to figure out what you really want.
24:58But in the meantime, what do you say we hook this place up?
25:04Like, move things around?
25:06Absolutely. What about this couch? Does it have to stay here?
25:09Because, I mean, we can move it, okay?
25:11I mean, I guess I'd be happy to.
25:12I never thought about it. It's just been here.
25:14Okay. We'll start with something smaller, like this chair.
25:17What if we find a home for this chair over here? Come on, give me a hand.
25:21Sure. Yeah.
25:22Ready?
25:23Yeah.
25:25I mean, I guess I could do some laps, too.
25:28Absolutely. We'll go shopping. It'll be great.
25:31Uncle, I can't.
25:33I mean, you know, it'll be my pleasure.
25:35I mean, I guess I could do some laps, too.
25:37Absolutely. We'll go shopping. It'll be great.
25:39Uncle, I can't.
25:40I mean, you know, it'll be my pleasure.
25:42You've seen my place, right? You think that was all Portia?
25:47What's this? Is this yours?
25:50I gave this to one of Molly's old journals.
25:53You know, I got some matches. We can light this thing.
25:56I'm just messing with you.
25:58Look, we can drop that off at Alexis' house, or we can leave it with her assistant.
26:03Whatever you're comfortable with.
26:04Whatever you're comfortable with.
26:09Feels wrong to be even the slightest bit happy, you know?
26:17Yeah, I get that.
26:21Rocco's on cloud nine.
26:23Well, he should be. You guys have been giving him a miracle.
26:27But how am I supposed to help these kids navigate these waters when I have no idea how to deal with it myself?
26:32You have to know that two things can be true.
26:35At once, joy and grief.
26:38You and your kids have to feel. Allow yourself to feel that.
26:43But you also have to know, it can change on any given day.
26:48It's amazing.
26:50More unpredictability. That's fantastic.
26:54Hey. Hey.
26:59You remember our family dinners?
27:02Yeah. You used to do all the cooking and Michael and Christine and I would pretend to help.
27:07I remember hiding out in the playroom with Donna and Avery so I didn't have to chop any onions.
27:13You should have your own version of that.
27:17With Rocco, Danny, Scout.
27:20I'm not talking about, like, just dinner. I mean just being together.
27:27You think there's a world where Lulu fits into that?
27:34Yeah, I do.
27:36Welcoming Lulu back in your lives doesn't mean that you, you guys still won't be missing Sam.
27:48Well, I guess you're not that terrible at advice sometimes, you know?
27:53Well, you know, I have my moments.
27:59Mission accomplished.
28:01Hey. Oh, what's wrong?
28:04He's not happy that I involved you in the bugging.
28:07The bugging sounds like a horror movie.
28:10I'm not helping.
28:12Carly, stay away from Jack Brennan, especially if he finds out about the bug.
28:16He's not going to find the bug. He's not. I put it in the perfect place.
28:20He's WSB. They sweep his office all the time.
28:23What?
28:24It's time to practice.
28:25I didn't ask for details.
28:27The device can't be traced back to us, can it?
28:29Very low probability.
28:31Look, you know, it doesn't matter.
28:33It doesn't matter because Jack isn't the monster you think he is.
28:36I know him.
28:37Nobody knows him.
28:39Spinelli, in all your searches, have you ever come up with anything on Brennan?
28:42Oh, that man is a ghost.
28:44And if anybody can find anything on anyone, it's this guy.
28:47That's how lethal Brennan is, to cover his tracks to that extent?
28:51Trust me.
28:53The last thing we need is Brennan knowing that any of us had anything to do with planning that bug.
29:03This is the part of my job that I hate.
29:05Medicine is my passion.
29:08Helping people is something I love doing.
29:11It feels wrong negotiating more money to provide something that should be a basic human right.
29:18Well, this is why writers and athletes have agents.
29:23They deserve to be paid for something they probably would do for free.
29:27Yes, you're helping people, but it is a job.
29:31And when we've established, you do quite well.
29:34You need to be compensated.
29:36Oh, don't worry. I have no plans to live in a yurt somewhere.
29:40Didn't you live in a yurt in Africa?
29:43That was Africa.
29:44Now that I'm stateside, it's back to life's amenities.
29:50Fancy sports car.
29:52Wait, wait, no, no, no.
29:54Souped up pickup truck, four wheel drive, monster tires.
29:59How do you know I'm not an electric car guy out there to save the environment?
30:04Well, are you?
30:05No, tricked out truck.
30:06Let's see.
30:08How'd you know?
30:10It's my job to size up my clients.
30:11Or in this case, a friend.
30:17You know, I hear friends go out to dinner from time to time.
30:23Oh, do they?
30:25That's what I hear.
30:30Maybe we try.
30:34Maybe we do.
30:36Now for the TJ piece.
30:38Do we have to?
30:39We do.
30:41You've had a lot of years that you've invested into this relationship.
30:46And I think it's too soon to know for sure if it's ended.
30:51But if it has, then you need to take the time to grieve it.
30:55And you need to remember that there was so much good about it.
30:59And it's not your fault that it didn't work out because it takes two.
31:04I really want TJ to be happy.
31:07I want him to have a place he's not afraid to come home to.
31:11And to live a life he loves, not just one he's tolerating.
31:17It's okay for you to want that for yourself too, you know.
31:21Yeah, I do.
31:24I don't know what that looks like, but I believe it's out there for me.
31:28I know it is.
31:37Hi.
31:38Hi.
31:41Yeah, come in.
31:44You left this at the apartment. I figured you'd want it.
31:53I could have picked it up.
31:54I know.
31:57I didn't read it.
31:58No, I know. That's not who you are.
32:02I'm glad you found it.
32:03That's not who you are.
32:05I'm glad you feel you still know who I am.
32:08Yeah, I think I'll always know who you are.
32:14And I will always love you, TJ.
32:17I will always love you too.
32:25Take care of yourself, okay?
32:28Yeah, you too.
32:33Bye.
32:55I would do anything to take back those words.
32:58But all I can do is learn from it.
33:03I'm not that person anymore.
33:05I just grow and be better.
33:12I certainly know what it's like to wish you could go back.
33:17I wish every day I could go back and just have never gone to Ava's hotel room.
33:21Or to go and Ava to not answer the door. Or, I don't know, a fire alarm to go off. Something. Anything.
33:28Anything. Anything to go back in time.
33:30Yeah.
33:32I was really starting to think of that baby as mine.
33:39And not just mine.
33:41Mine and Allie's.
33:42Mine and Allie's.
33:44And we were envisioning a whole future together.
33:48Our life with our baby girl.
33:52That would have made the baby my granddaughter.
33:55Yes.
33:57Believe it or not, I would have loved that.
34:02I believe you.
34:07Oh, I'm sorry.
34:09Hello?
34:13Okay, thank you for letting me know.
34:18The jury's back.
34:23So that was the Carly Spencer.
34:26Quite the spitfire, isn't she?
34:29She's also quite a distraction.
34:32Your duty is to the Birojac, not to the citizens of Port Charles.
34:37Yeah, I'm aware of that.
34:38Are you? Because of the drone strike in Somalia and the explosion downtown, both seem to suggest otherwise.
34:44Not to mention what's happening with Sidwell.
34:47Any updates?
34:49Above your clearance, I'm afraid.
34:53You're a brilliant Asian, Jacques, and I am lucky to be working with you.
34:58But?
35:00Be careful. Using your powers for personal matters is the quickest way to get burnt.
35:06If that's all.
35:27It's me.
35:29Britain's making a call.
35:34Lulu is awake.
35:35I have an offer to Berger's child's return.
35:38So, what do you want there?
