00:00Those I was happy to hear you were stopping by today. I just wanted to make my Christmas donation to all saints
00:08in person as always your
00:11Generous donation is appreciated
00:13Especially this time of year
00:16God bless you and your family this holiday season
00:21Father one more thing
00:26Can I ask a favor
00:27I know i'm late. I'm, sorry. I wish I could blame it on the traffic
00:32But you would never guess what happened to me today
00:35Are you okay? No, I am not. Okay, and it's all because of your police commissioner
00:39I swear anna devane has not only gone rogue. She's completely out of control
00:45Someone saw something that can give us insight into officer hella stabbing
00:51Yes
00:52Okay, keep me posted, please. Thank you
00:56Come in
00:58You wanted to see me yeah
01:02Once again, I have to ask you for your help
01:06Gift delivery from your favorite nephew
01:12It's a holiday gram open it
01:17Ah it is uh
01:20What is it
01:23It's an invite to celebrate your first scorpio christmas
01:27well, I appreciate the invitation, but
01:30Sorry, I can't make it
01:31Why not?
01:34You are ditching us because of sasha
01:38This is my first feast of the seven fishes i'm looking forward to the challenge
01:43Well, i've done quite a few of these in my life. If you start getting swamped. You just let me know. Okay. Thank you
01:49How does one get eggs wrong?
01:52These are scrambled
01:55I specifically requested eggs benedict my stepdaughter's favorite. I am so sorry tracy. It must have slipped my mind
02:03Not acceptable tracy. Calm down. I'm sure lulu doesn't care how her eggs are served. I care. I wanted her to have her favorite meal
02:11Instead sasha completely ignored my request. I did not ignore you tracy. Like I said, I forgot
02:16It's your job to remember and serve the meal that was requested
02:20What do you have to say for yourself you want eggs go lay them yourself
02:34Hey granny the office just sent these over i'm not sure what they are but
02:39Nope no tracy just me lulu. What a surprise
02:50So
02:56Hi, hey, you brought coffee. Yeah. Well, I remembered how much you liked perc's holiday blend so
03:03Thank you. Come in. Thanks
03:08I actually already have the coffee covered lucky, but good to see you
03:20So
03:34Tracy angelica quartermane if you just cost us our cook on today of all days
03:44It wasn't me it was her she was derelict in her duties it was a miscommunication tracy it's eggs
03:50I am allowed to give feedback to our staff
03:53Feedback. Yes, not abuse not on my watch and not with sasha
03:57Okay, so she's not the only cook in the world. I will call an agency and get another one
04:03Just like I wanted to in the first place
04:06During the holidays
04:08Are you crazy?
04:09Plus the family loves sasha, especially the kids and this has been a hard enough holiday on them. They do not need any more loss
04:17Now I got seven fishes in that kitchen and you can't cook any of them
04:21So you go make nice with sasha or I will tell monica and she will have you and those fishes all out on the curb
04:29I could have sworn that dante told me you're staying at your mom's
04:33I am
04:34I was here late going over old times with tracy and she insisted I stay the night. Oh
04:40I'm glad the two of you had a chance to catch up
04:43And ferraco too, I mean, I know how happy is to have his mom back and dante too i'm sure
04:49Yeah
04:50Dante's been pretty great about it
04:52Considering our history
04:54Wow, it must seem crazy, you know dropping back into your life after all this time
04:59It is
05:01Nothing turned out how I've expected sam and dante for one
05:05yeah, he was adrift for a while, but then he and sam got together and
05:10They were a really great couple I can tell
05:15Kind of surprised it wasn't dante and you though
05:19That woman is compromised baby sister
05:22Why would you say that? Well, for one thing, there's a very strange association with well-known felon and mobster. Jason morgan
05:29Okay. Look if you're going to imply that anna's involved with some kind of criminal activity
05:33I am going to need evidence. I am not implying anything and if you need evidence, it just so happens
05:39I have a firsthand account from an unimpeachable witness. Give me a name. His name is martin gray and you're looking at him
05:46As you know, uh
05:49Dex hello was stabbed and killed. Um
05:54And I have to focus on
05:56Finding out why he was targeted and tracked down his killer
06:01You think he was targeted?
06:03Yeah, apparently
06:06And as police commissioner, you know, I owe it to this department and
06:11And to the citizens of port charles
06:14To find out if this is an isolated incident or if it's a part of something bigger
06:18Any leads none and that's that's why I wanted to talk to you
06:23Because
06:25I can't I can't really give this case my full attention if i'm
06:28If i'm chasing down valentine, okay. So what do you want me to do? I would like you to take the lead in finding charlotte
06:36I told rick about the situation at the hospital and he insisted
06:41On helping me, of course he did. Yeah
06:44Everything that i'm hearing so far
06:47It's clear that elizabeth needs an attorney
06:49And here you are. Well, I know elizabeth and her character intimately. She needs to be protected
06:54This investigation is going to get messy and I want to ensure that elizabeth isn't railroaded by gh's legal team
06:59Yeah, they can be pretty ruthless
07:02especially dd clark
07:04Okay, dv clark got it
07:08Okay right now
07:09People like dr. Randolph and dr. Robinson are going to be congenial
07:14They're going to be supportive obviously because of your colleagues and friends, but make no mistake
07:17The hospital is going to look out for its own best interest. My job is to look out for yours
07:22To uh, would you tell him this all started with sam's death?
07:25I did actually I I don't want to get the details muddled
07:30Isn't that why we're here?
07:32Well, yes, but i'd like to complete my interview with elizabeth alone
07:39Maybe you can come back another time lucky
07:4310 families in need of your choice. I'll cover their holiday meals
07:48christmas presents, you know for the kids and
07:50trees and
07:52Decorations the whole thing. Can you think you can do that? I can do that. Mr. Grunthose again
07:57Thank you
07:59Hi, sonny
08:02father
08:04I didn't mean to interrupt you're not can I help you?
08:08I just wanted to light a candle if that's okay
08:11of course
08:12Take all the time you need. Thank you
08:29So
08:45I know why you're here you do. I know what day it is
08:52Today's the anniversary of your son's death. I can't believe you remembered
08:59Liam was family brando was family as are you?
09:04I actually spoke to father reyes about having a mass said in
09:11Brando and liam's memory. Thank you for remembering that
09:16Brando and liam's memory. Thank you for remembering that
09:24You got me I don't want to carol around the christmas tree with cousin sasha look cody I get it it's weird
09:31But instead of running away from each other, which only prolongs the weirdness. You guys should just get over it
09:37and
09:38Embrace the weirdness
09:40You both grew up without real families and now you each have one
09:44One that loves you very much
09:46That's not gonna change
09:48Could you just please consider coming?
09:52Anybody seen sasha
09:55Tracy hello to you, too
09:57Uh, sasha doesn't really come around here anymore
10:01Right the cousin thing, okay, so what's going on?
10:06Well
10:07Something's off with sasha. She behaved completely irrationally earlier all because I asked her to remake some eggs
10:13Asked or demanded asked politely
10:18Oh, no
10:20No, tracy. It was not the eggs
10:24Really?
10:25Were you there? How do you know because today is the anniversary of sasha's baby's death?
10:34Oh, come on brooklyn don't look so surprised
10:38I was gone for four years you and dante. You never know
10:43And i'm happily married now, maybe nobody's told you. Oh, I heard you and chase congrats
10:48he's sweet and
10:50So handsome
10:52look
10:54Time is all out of whack for you. Okay, maybe you are confusing 2010 with 2024
10:59But all that funny business between me you and dante that was years ago
11:02Okay, I know I I tried to come between you and dante for money
11:06It was not my finest day
11:08And the whole thing blew up in my face horribly I kind of enjoyed that
11:16I've been through a lot since then
11:19And i've grown a lot
11:20And I have my family and and my husband. I have a life and so do you lulu?
11:27And I am so happy that you have your life back
11:29But maybe you should have a little gratitude for that instead of being stuck in the past
11:35So, where do you tell me?
11:36what kind of uh
11:38Criminal activity. Did you witness you don't need jason?
11:41It started when jason accosted me this morning and forcibly escorted me to the coffee warehouse
11:48You mean
11:49at gunpoint
11:50Have you met jason morgan? He doesn't exactly need one. Okay
11:55so
11:56How does anna fit into that? No, she showed up at the warehouse
12:00And there I was sitting there like a fool thinking she was there to rescue me and it turns out
12:04She's the one had jason round me up that doesn't make any sense
12:07I mean if she wanted to question you why wouldn't she just bring you into the police station?
12:11Because you can't zip tie and threaten somebody at police station
12:15turns out that jason and anna wanted to compel me into providing them with a
12:20Lead as to where they could find valentine
12:23Did you give them
12:27How many different people I don't know where valentine is if I did don't you think I would have told you by now
12:33Yes, I do. Look you're here, right? You're okay. You're okay
12:37So they they didn't make good on any of their threats. So what's your point? No harm. No foul. No
12:42Oh, i'm not saying that at all. What they did was wrong. Really really wrong. Yes, but the thing is that
12:49The thing is that your argument is not with them. It's with me
12:53Okay, i'll take over tracking down valentine and you can focus on finding out who killed dex
12:59How's justin?
13:02I mean, she's uh, she's confused and she wants answers. Yeah, she deserves them
13:08You know when I when I first recruited dex she was adamantly against him
13:13Joining the pcpd because she was afraid that sonny would kill him
13:18You don't you don't think so
13:20I can't get her voice out of my head
13:23she told me that if dex were to die in the line of duty that
13:27She didn't want me to
13:30Hand her the flag at his funeral. Yeah, she was just afraid for somebody she loved
13:35Well, I think she was keenly aware of the worst case scenario
13:40I suppose i've
13:43I just become a bit numb to all that
13:48You know, you're doing it again
13:53You're blaming yourself well at least i'm consistent I was with jocelyn last night
14:00And she didn't blame you
14:04Because you're not to blame
14:09Actually, I would like lucky to stay
14:11You know, he used to be a cop and I would appreciate his help as well. Thanks elizabeth. I'd be happy to
14:18Okay, fun
14:20I'm gonna need your statement, uh detailing all of your movements leading up to and immediately following dex heller and sam's deaths
14:26I already filed a report with the hospital. Okay. Yeah, that's done. Don't file anything going forward without going through me first
14:33Hey, hey, can you can you just relax a bit? I mean you're acting like she's been charged
14:38That hasn't happened and it won't once I clear her
14:42Well while you revel in your confidence lucky i'm gonna be making sure that elizabeth doesn't land in jail. Are you
14:47Are you trying to scare her so you can be her hero? Is that is that what's going on here?
14:51No, i'm trying to take the situation seriously instead of playing cops and robbers. Okay, will you both just stop?
14:57Two patients are dead. Can we just focus on that?
15:04I think I quit my job today
15:08What happened
15:10I was planning a holiday meal with olivia and tracy stormed in and started railing at me over nothing
15:19I snapped
15:21Good for you
15:23Yeah, tracy has a habit of going off on people she doesn't like when you stand up to her
15:30Usually I would just let her comments slide but
15:34today
15:37To be honest, I love my job and i've i've gotten used to the core domain's eccentricities, but
15:43And I love to cook you have that in common
15:47Tracy's tantrum just seemed so pointless
15:53Especially today when I am
15:57Reminded how precious and fragile life is
16:03No matter how much you plan or how careful you are nothing is promised
16:12I wanted to give my baby the perfect life
16:17But I couldn't
16:20So sasha and brando had to make the
16:23Unimaginable decision to take their baby liam off life support
16:27And today is the day they made that choice
16:31So maybe tracy, I don't know you could cut sasha some slack. I think she has a little more on her mind than just breakfast
16:39Thank you for the information
16:41Oh
16:45Kind of makes you really appreciate family, huh?
16:49christmas eve
16:50spending time with people who love you
16:53Think about it
16:55i'm, just gonna
16:57Leave that right there
16:59So
17:05I just always thought that the
17:07Text would make such an excellent cop, you know, I could really see his potential right from the start
17:12I'm sure he appreciated you giving him a second chance given his past with sonny. Not everybody would do that. He really proved himself
17:20And he was always top of the class at the academy always and and and he wanted it. I think he really wanted it
17:27Even given the risks that he was facing and you made the offer
17:32But he made the choice
17:35You know that jocelyn does too I hope so
17:41Anna don't
17:46Don't dishonor dex's choice by trying to make it a mistake
17:51I'll let you know if I find out anything about valentine and charlotte. Thank you
17:57Take care
18:00You take care
18:20Huh
18:30Yeah
18:31Hi. Yeah
18:32Um, so I I just wanted to know if you if you had any progress at all in the surveillance footage from rice plaza
18:40See, the thing is i've been putting a lot of pressure on anna to find valentine
18:44I mean this goes back this goes back before lulu even woke up because I felt charlotte should be there
18:50If her mother was going into a big operation, no wait, and then she did wake up
18:55And when she did all she wanted was to see her daughter
18:59she was desperate to see her daughter, so
19:02so I went back to anna and I
19:06I insisted that she find valentine
19:09and I
19:11I think she's feeling that pressure for me so much. So she had me kidnapped
19:17I guess I should be grateful. Jason didn't gag me and throw me in the trunk of his car
19:22Look, they went way too far way too far. I will definitely talk to anna about this
19:29Yeah, okay
19:30I guess i'll just have to be good enough
19:34No, i'm, sorry marty
19:35Truly, I am so so sorry. I mean I I I wholeheartedly disagree with the way they handled the situation
19:44I just wish I could make you understand how badly I want to find my granddaughter. What if
19:50There's someone else who could help even though that someone is equally as disagreeable
19:57Who your brother
20:00So with both deaths there was someone with you and the alarms went off
20:03Yes, but that's not the issue. The problem is sam was given a lethal dose of digitalis
20:08Autopsy results aren't in but it's likely that's what happened to dex
20:12Yeah, well forgive me if I don't list you as a medical expert, why did you think that digitalis was at play in heller's death
20:19Because dex was perfectly healthy
20:21In fact, he had just passed the physical for the pcpd
20:25Yes, he came in with a stab wound. The surgery was routine. He was in full recovery
20:30There is no reason why he should have gone into cardiac arrest
20:33was there anybody else who
20:36ordered or administered medications
20:38For sam and dex heller, well, yes, but as head nurse everything goes through me
20:43And per the investigation you had access to the medical lockers and to the patients. I oversee the drug cabinet and patient care. That's my job
20:52Okay
20:55You want my expert legal advice, please steer clear of general hospital
21:02Let's get something straight
21:04I have a child missing. That's all i'm focused on now. I sympathize
21:09Go find her
21:11Wow
21:12You haven't changed all that much
21:14You're still self-absorbed and sensitive like I said lulu time stood still for you
21:20But we have all moved on just ask our friend maxie if you don't believe me
21:28Everything okay in here peachy
21:31Hey
21:33Brooklyn was just catching me up on how much things have changed around here
21:39I need a walk tell tracy i've lost my appetite
21:47What was that about
21:48inevitability
21:50Dante, I tried really I did and I am glad that lulu is awake and healthy
21:55But she has never liked me and I don't like her lulu may be the triumphant heroine in your story
22:01But she is still the same snarky self-righteous. Spencer. She has always been in mind
22:08You were liam's mother you loved him you did the best you could for him and in the end
22:15You made the best decision for him
22:20You helped me see that
22:23You'd have gotten there because you loved him
22:28You still do
22:31He's at peace
22:35And you know you did that for him he's with brando and they're both very proud of you
22:45Thank you
22:47You
22:51You know, I hope you get the chance again to be a mother
22:57And whoever gets you they're gonna be the luckiest kid in the world
23:03So
23:12Well, at least you didn't treat lulu like an invalid hey, I showed restraint I know you did um
23:20You're a good person
23:22The louis too, but you know two good people don't necessarily have to like each other
23:26Well, these two never will she can't even forgive me for just trying to break the two of you up
23:32God only knows how she'd act if she ever found out about that summer. Well, yeah, I mean that's
23:38Ancient history, right? I mean the here and now is
23:43She's having a hard time with this
23:46Re-entry from the four-year absence thing. It's kind of freaking her out
23:51And her daughter's missing and I don't know. Maybe we just got to give her a little grace, right?
23:56I sympathize
23:58Really? I do
24:00That's why I appreciate that you bit your tongue a little bit really think i'm a good person
24:05Yeah, I do
24:09I'm gonna go uh, check in with lulu dante
24:14I really am happy for you and rocco
24:16So
24:28Hello
24:31Oh my god
24:33It's you lulu spencer as I live and breathe
24:38Cody right cody bell at your service
24:43How do you know my name
24:45i'm an old friend of dante's I I didn't recognize you the night I picked you up, uh
24:49Might have been the hoodie. Uh, yeah
24:53Thanks for the ride by the way, uh, yeah, uh, what were you thinking actually hopping in a strange man's car
24:58I wasn't worried
25:00I knew I could take you
25:03I know this doesn't look good for me, but I am telling you there's no way i'm staying away from gh elizabeth
25:09Look, this is this is no time to be stubborn. My staff needs me
25:13And if i'm there I can keep an eye on my patients even though I can't give them hands-on care
25:17You need to listen to me elizabeth
25:20Okay, if this autopsy report comes back on dex heller and it shows evidence of digitalis in the system
25:25That's two deaths caused by an improper dosage of digitalis. That is not just a mistake
25:30That's what's called a pattern of active harm
25:32And if that pattern continues and another patient dies
25:36That opens up more culpability on you
25:40Do you understand
25:43Yes, okay, I hope you consider what i've said
25:49Meanwhile, let me try to get ahead of this before it goes any further
25:53Thank you
26:04See you soon
26:09You
26:11Wow that guy
26:14I feel like I need a shower
26:20I would steer clear of the kitchen if I were you olivia's in some sort of tizzy seems to be going around
26:25Huh?
26:26I just saw lulu. She spent one night here at one night. She's already overstayed her welcome. That's right
26:31You and lulu under one roof that has to be eventful. She's still
26:36a lot
26:37So are you?
26:39So am I we should start a club not unless it's a grudge club because that girl sure can hold one
26:44Okay, I know what it's like to be on lulu's bad side if you remember the whole georgie situation. Oh, right pregnancy drama
26:51Yeah, georgie and bailey loo were a surprise and james was planned but his delivery was dramatic
27:00Wait brooklyn did I say something wrong?
27:04You know where to find me if you need me
27:09I
27:13Be nice tracy
27:25May I join you if you must
27:33I owe you an apology. I uh
27:39I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier. It was rude and insensitive and um
27:46I want you to know that you have my deepest sympathies
27:51Thank you
27:53I um accept your apology
27:57But it doesn't excuse your behavior
28:00We've been here before and I get it. I'm not your favorite person. That's fine. You're not mine
28:06But I will not be your punching bag and I need you to understand that if we're to move forward
28:14So you and dante were old friends
28:18I'm hurt that he never mentioned me. Well, he's got a big family and lots of friends. I didn't stand out
28:26Maybe you weren't that memorable. Uh, we went to summer camp together doesn't get any more memorable than that
28:32Wait, you went to camp cooper
28:35You're the one that taught dante to ride a horse dad you're being very generous dante still can't stay on one
28:47Thanks for meeting me, uh, so i'm taking the lead on finding valentine
28:52You have any news? Unfortunately. No his last known whereabouts were in zurich
28:56But since then he's been able to evade my tracking. Okay. What about the money?
28:59He withdrew from the bank valentine's account closed very quickly after the last transaction. I suspect that was by design
29:05So he's gone dark now. Yeah, my fear is that now that lulu's awakened he was somehow warned and he's going deeper into okay
29:12Then we need to step up our efforts to find him
29:15i've been reaching out to cyrus, but he's gone radio silent probably because he knows I want to take him to task for trying to
29:21Insert himself as lulu's surrogate medical decision maker. I swear. I don't know what the hell he was thinking
29:27Well, he claims it's because he didn't want her to be left alone
29:29But if that were true, then why all the secrecy, you know, did you know that he had plans?
29:36To have her transferred to a different facility down at south carolina
29:39What lulu told me that?
29:42So you see marty our brother has a lot he has to answer for exactly
29:47so what
29:49If I said I think I have a way for him not just to help out but to make up for his past behavior
29:55If you're willing to go for it
29:58Come on, well like it or not. Our brother used to be a very powerful man with very powerful friends
30:03That kind of thing tends to come with an extensive reach
30:07What are you suggesting marty?
30:09I'm suggesting maybe one of his former contacts could come up with a leader where to find valentine
30:15and charlotte
30:16Exactly. Now. I know you want as little to do with our brother as possible and I don't blame you restraining order, etc, etc
30:24But if he could help you track down your granddaughter it might be worth a chat
30:35What can I do for you sonny, uh, i'm saving you a trip anna
30:41I assume you want to talk to me about dex heller's death
30:53Good
30:58Carpoolers meeting, uh officially or what?
31:00Good thing you showed up. I didn't have my phone to call a ride share
31:03They still have those right? Yeah come to think of it. You owe me 20 bucks
31:10Dante you got a 20 free old camp buddy. Don't worry about it. I'll collect at our next poker game
31:16Just can't believe you're the one who found her
31:19Yeah, it was one of those rare
31:21Occasions where I was actually in the right place at the right time
31:27I'm sorry
31:28Chase and I were just trying to get pregnant
31:31That is great news
31:33Is it and i've been monitoring my cycle i've been doing everything possible, but nothing's worked
31:40It can take time. You cannot stress out about it. It's been months
31:46And this last month we were very dedicated
31:49I don't know maxie. I'm starting to worry something's wrong
31:53You do know that there are plenty of lawyers out there, right?
31:57But no one is more invested in taking care of me lately
32:01henry
32:03I just hope it doesn't come down to a court battle. Well, there's one way to ensure it doesn't find out who's
32:09responsible for sam and dex's deaths
32:12Even if they were just tragic deaths, I mean someone's got to be held accountable, right? Well, not you
32:18Elizabeth look you
32:20You didn't do this
32:22Something is going on at gh and we're gonna figure out what?
32:27Isn't it a bit risky you being here without your attorney? I don't need to answer this conversation
32:32And what conversation is that?
32:33Well, you thought I was gonna go after dex when he left my business
32:37You did threaten to kill him when he enrolled in the academy. Uh
32:41That's up to interpretation
32:43Yeah, you know for the record
32:46When dex did join the pcpd I didn't think that
32:52You'd be reckless enough to kill a cop
32:56You still feel that way
33:04A knife in the back in the middle of rice plaza
33:09I mean, that's not really your style. Is it?
33:13I'm glad we're on the same page
33:17You know, you're only free
33:19Because dex refused to press charges after you assaulted him at detective chase's wedding
33:26I'd say
33:27That you owe him a debt
33:31I want whoever is responsible for dex's death found
33:38Let me know if I can help
33:43You
33:53No going through cyrus is just a bridge too far
33:56I really think that my best shot at getting my grandchild back is going to be through anna
34:01Marty I trust anna's motives a lot more than I trust our brothers
34:08Lulu was my first friend in port charles. She introduced me to you and sam
34:12I remember
34:14all these years everyone's counted on me as
34:17the jackal the assassin of cyberspace, but
34:20This is when it really matters
34:22I'll find charlotte
34:24I know you will
34:26And when I do what then?
34:29I'm gonna go get her and bring her home
34:31And then i'm gonna make sure that valentine's never a problem for lulu
34:35or anybody else again
34:37With everything you've been through you appear to have come out on the other side even stronger
34:42I respect that
34:45But do you respect me
34:49You're my employer so I can accept constructive criticism and direction, but I will not tolerate disrespect
34:58As long as you understand that we're good we're good
35:04Be well sasha
35:06You
35:10Thank you for helping me get through this day
35:17Please continue to bless liam and brando with your love
35:25And please ask them to watch over this baby
35:32I appreciate all the people you brought into my life
35:36Even if i've had to let them go
35:40I trust that you have a plan
35:43So, please keep me and my baby safe
35:54You
