00:10to do it yeah when carly said she was going to la with dad i'm just so grateful i could help out
00:16in some small way it's not a small thing you're doing it's gotta make dad feel good to know that
00:21donna's here and safe with you yeah i'm grateful for you too for what you got dad to tell me about
00:29his health issues i wouldn't know about that or the surgery if he hadn't put your foot down and
00:33made him tell me we're family dad needs his family especially now how did you get up here before
00:40visiting hours i have my way how you doing sonny i'm better now that you're here yeah i wouldn't say
00:47that you seem to already be in pretty good hands i'm so glad you came with him i really am to know
00:54that you've got his back is the best news i've heard always bricks uh connected me with a
01:00cardiologist and set me up in la and kept everything discreet anything for you my man you know i got
01:07you wow that is a great swing you got thanks my mom taught me sounds about right i don't play much
01:17though you know baseball is more of rocco's sport yeah but you know i like it it's fun
01:24so how are you feeling with rocco living with lulu half the time happy for him you know he missed his
01:32mom a long time yeah no i know but i know you're gonna miss him yeah it's already weird enough with scout
01:39being gone you know when the three of us moved in with the quarter mains we were supposed to
01:43stick together like mom wanted yeah like mom wanted but she's gone so i guess it doesn't matter
01:55you're doing great dad i know it might not feel like it but you've come my own way since the night
02:00of your accident yeah i mean i was so terrified when i got that call i i sat here and i just prayed that
02:07you would make it through surgery and now look at you yeah i'm tougher than people think i think people
02:13know you're tough i was not that night i would have completely lost it if it weren't for mom christina
02:20cody cody wait isn't he the horse guy yeah he's actually shown up for me a couple of times he's
02:30turned out to be a really good friend oh i'm glad to hear that friends are hard to come by especially
02:36friends who can convince you and mom to make a truce i'm very grateful to him for that i'm glad
02:43you've had support me too but i'm concerned about your support system it worries me that ava is the
02:54person showing up for you i don't like slip ups and introducing you to one of my most valuable
03:02clients without being aware of your controversial parentage was a slip up now were you obligated
03:10to tell me that jen sidwell is your father no is it pertinent absolutely
03:15but it's not disqualifying marco you're an excellent attorney and based on your references
03:23you're a very talented litigator given my family background i make a point of not holding someone's
03:30lineage against them i appreciate that and while we appreciate the billable hours that you'll be
03:36bringing into our firm via your client list we're gonna need some assurances those assurances being that
03:43my father's business won't pose a conflict of interest in your work with jason morgan and sunny corinthos
03:53that's the best i can do at the moment i thought dr jones was here but there was a schedule change
03:59i'll try to get you seen but as soon as someone's free i'll let him know okay thank you thank you
04:04felicia then you heard her open your shirt oh come on cody we got to get the swelling down
04:09we are doing this hey hey aren't you a married woman i certainly am have you seen my husband
04:15fair point all right let's go your big baby thanks but you can't yeah yeah i got it
04:23i feel like my parents handle things the right way they never hid the fact that i was adopted so
04:29i always knew that i was chosen and and loved and i don't feel that they love me any differently than
04:38my sister bj who's my dad's biological child and my mom she just loved us both so much did your own
04:48experience with being adopted make you more receptive to becoming an adoptive parent yourself
04:53i don't know if it was a conscious choice but i do know i had no hesitations about it and did the
05:00aftermath with your experience with wiley change how you feel about adoption not at all i still think
05:07it is the greatest gift that you can give or receive that might be the title of my story so you've been
05:18an adoptive parent and you've been adopted what was it like when your biological father
05:29i know that you miss your mom okay and you feel like there's probably not anybody you can talk to
05:34about it but you know scout she's young you're not seeing her as much as you'd like to no not really
05:42scout knows i'm her brother always be there for her yeah and that's important for her to know that's
05:47all you can do and rocko you guys are close but he just got his mom back that's that's got to be hard
05:54i'm happy about that and then he got his sister charlotte back too i know you are it's okay to
05:59have these feelings just makes sense that these feelings could get mixed up and you're losing your
06:04mom it's okay i just want you to know that you can talk to me about however you're feeling about missing
06:10your mom because i miss her too you know you and i are uh we're very similar we stay up in our heads
06:21too much we don't talk about things but your mom and i did really yeah i mean nobody can give me to
06:29you talk like your mom and i'm telling you it helps okay so i'm here for anything and everything
06:38that you want to say whatever you need i'm here tony jones is my dad and he always will be but
06:49julian is part of the reason i even exist so despite not being raised by him and um his many
06:59many flaws i found that i could make room in my heart for him oh i'm sorry ed is my talking about
07:10julian awkward or just plain terrible to you neither i promise i asked you a question and i really
07:17appreciate the honest answer so you said that julian was a flawed man knowing what you know now if you
07:28could choose would you still have him re-enter your life or do you think you would have been better off
07:34never knowing him at all building a relationship with julian was surprisingly rocky road with a lot of
07:44highs and lows he had so many demons and he was fighting them until the day he died but i know he
07:53loved me and i'm grateful for that and for him so yes i'm glad my biological father came back into my life
08:06i know you're annoyed with me for forcing you to seek medical attention but i'm doing it for your
08:12own good i'm not annoyed with you i thought you were annoyed with me why would i be annoyed with you
08:18because i ran my mouth to lulu about your pregnancy and now you have to stay around all morning in the
08:24hospital lounge with me look when you told me what happened i told you that i wasn't mad or annoyed and i
08:31meant it i am mad and annoyed at lulu for manipulating you for digging around in something
08:38that's none of her business i'm still sorry well don't be you were there for me when you counted
08:45cody i was really scared that summer and if you hadn't given me your last 50 bucks and driven me to
08:50the bus station i don't know what i would have done i'm just glad i could be there to help well i'm here
08:56now and i'm glad to help you you know i don't play when it comes to sunny's house dr abbott's one of
09:03the best cardiologists in the country brick's been handling everything because because your enemies
09:08can't know that you're vulnerable i know this this is not my first rodeo no i know but whoever
09:12tried to kill me and er michael is still out there you know i'm gonna find out who gave the order to do it
09:17too but in the meantime i've got a security team in place just in case somebody has sunny under surveillance
09:24well that's good to know you're right i'm gonna go check in with them now so i'm gonna get on out
09:28of here right oh carly you're in charge i'm glad someone else knows this sunny behave yourself take
09:38care and by the way try and do what the lady says
09:45you know i always kind of thought dad would just be around forever and it's it's not until someone
09:51goes under the knife like he is where you start to maybe realize you're taking the people you love
09:56for granted and you got to tell the people you care about how much they mean to you yeah i gotta get
10:02better at that you know when i bottomed out last year dad was just there for me he was like my anchor
10:10he didn't judge me he just threw me a lifeline and loved me yeah i don't know exactly what you're
10:17talking about it was the same losing sam sam and dad used to always say we are not our mistakes we can
10:28do bad things but we're still worthy of love well i think that's true and you are super lovable
10:39hey what's going on are you going to the park oh i would love to go to the park with you but i gotta go
10:46pick up brocco but you know what your big sis is still here and she's a blast that's true castina
10:53is the best she certainly is the best i assure you i can keep my work with sre worldwide siloed
11:03and i have no problem representing sunny and jason you representing jason morgan and sunny corinthos
11:12is highly unlikely should a situation arise where there is a conflict of interest i will recuse myself
11:18good it really is just a matter of whether or not you want me here
11:26welcome aboard marco
11:29all right i have a meeting with christina so i'm gonna let diane take it from here we'll talk later
11:35yeah of course let's get right to it these are all still in the preliminary stages
11:47are you sure you want me working on this
11:56but molly i know you don't have any news for ava but she is a client and yes she's a friend okay you're
12:03not talking to your 10 year old daughter here dad i know she's more than a friend all right we have
12:07an understanding and yes ava and i understand each other that's what scares me i mean ava appeals to the
12:15worst parts of you that is not fair oh when you think ava's fair because i've never seen it
12:21ava may not be directly responsible for irene's death but she is responsible for
12:27a lot of bad and i want better than that for you i want you to be better than that so what are you
12:36saying that if if ava's in my life then you're not going to be no i'm not giving you an ultimatum
12:43i've learned that that doesn't work i know you'll make your own choices i just i want you to think
12:50long and hard about whether you really want to be involved with ava
12:54before she gets you wrapped up in something that you'll regret
12:59these were obviously misplaced this is a private matter not for your eyes
13:04and i'm going to assume complete discretion with regard to these understood i'll just go to my
13:10office and work on these prelims okay
13:24those are some beautiful colors donna thanks may i have a glass of water yes you may that's a nice
13:40way of you to ask

14:11take those phones without asking i wanted to call daddy where are you and what are you wearing
14:18i'm at the hospital getting the checkup mommy's here with me yeah hi hey baby how are you are you
14:25are you gonna get a shot daddy i hope not you know what cutie let's let daddy focus on his checkup

14:41we love you too thank you christina and donna you'll be good i love you love you
14:46for a girl who's too young to have a cell phone she sure knows how to use one you think she was
14:54scared when i told her i was having a checkup i think she's more afraid that you're gonna get a
14:58shot well who's not afraid of shots christina looked terrified but she was trying to act like she
15:04wasn't terrified in front of donna how am i doing you're doing great always

15:38you must be hurting pretty good uh come with me can you walk okay yeah yeah peace okay
15:45thanks for waiting with me no problem
15:54hey mom how'd your interview go fantastic actually lucas really opened up about how it feels to be
16:01adopted good for him
16:06kind of felt like danny scout and i adopted each other and dad and i moved in with sam yeah i'll bet
16:15what was that like for you suddenly blending families having new siblings so to speak it was a little
16:23weird at first it was mostly about figuring out bathroom schedules and what we like to eat and
16:28stuff like that but i didn't take it very long to work it all out you know when your dad and i agreed
16:35to have you live part-time with me in charlotte i i thought it was important that we get time together
16:42especially since we missed out on so much but i i know you've got a very real family that loves you
16:51with your dad and danny and scout i know you had that with sam too so if you ever feel like you just
17:00wanted i spent years praying for this being able to walk down the stairs and see you and talk to you
17:08i love my family all of them dad danny scout and charlotte but when i'm here with you i'm exactly
17:21where i want to be
17:32i'm gonna be repairing leaflets in the heart that were previously damaged by shrapnel from your gunshot
17:37wound in 2000. it sounds scary anytime someone talks about the heart but mr corinthos you've
17:44already survived a great deal you're in good health and you're an excellent candidate for this procedure
17:50he's a fighter and he's incredibly stubborn that'll help too
17:53christina are you mad at me
18:05no of course i'm not mad at you i can never be mad at you
18:10but you know you really shouldn't take people's phones without asking okay
18:13i won't okay is daddy going to be okay yeah yeah daddy's gonna be just fine he's gonna be back
18:21before you know it but i have an idea of something that he might really like what
18:30how about we make him a get well card yes yeah i'll use all my favorite colors okay
18:37i can't buy my glitter though oh that's all right i have a feeling it's gonna be just

20:33oh hey lucas sorry to bother you how's cody doing uh he's in radiology he's getting a couple x-rays just
20:42to be on the safe side but he should be fine we'll wrap him up and uh he'll be sore for a bit okay thank
20:48you i'm really glad we got to see you felicia said that there was a change in the schedule or
20:53something oh yeah um i had to step out for a minute to do a quick interview um but thankfully
20:59they were able to find somebody to cover me for an hour or so an interview tell me more were they
21:04asking about what it's like bringing your amazing surgical skills from boston to port charles
21:08what it's like to be a sexy single doctor you know sadly no one has asked me that no um lulu
21:16wanted to interview me for a piece she's doing for the landview banner oh i didn't realize she
21:21was working at the banner yeah i think it's the uh first piece she's doing for her newest freelancing
21:25gig good for her can you tell me what the piece is about yeah adoption apparently she uh pitched the
21:32subject and the editor gave her the green light and she's really excited about it
21:36well either i'm getting slower or that pitching machine is getting faster
21:49you remember when you first came back mom didn't really want me hanging around you
21:56yeah she was she was worried about you she probably was
21:59mm-hmm but i i think she was more worried that you wouldn't stick around
22:06she changed her mind obviously i think she finally
22:10figured out that you could take care of me and i will always i mean it's cool that i have all these
22:17people around me that care for me but i'm really glad i've got you you know i i hope mom knows that
22:26you've always been there for me i haven't felt so alone i bet she knows
22:45cody huh what are you doing here
22:48i got kicked by a horse what the same horse you rescued me on it's not his fault no i knew it you
22:58could see he was a kicker in his eyes no no it was a natural reaction to my dropping a pail behind
23:04him and him getting startled so as long as you don't do that you're fine you're in the hospital
23:09and you're defending the horse he's a good horse you do the same for me i'm just here waiting for my
23:16x-ray results right now alone yeah yeah brooklyn was here but she she disappeared
23:24why are you here i was just visiting my dad ah gonna head back to the office but
23:32yeah i guess i have some work i could do here you're gonna wait with me yeah you shouldn't have
23:37to wait alone hey fine but if you get bored and you can't resist my sparkling personality i'll be fine
23:43just button your shirt yeah can't resist the thunder huh how many pain meds are you on i was
23:50thinking it was too little but now i'm starting to think it might be too many yeah just watch the
23:56ice pack mr thunder yeah oh richard obviously you're bored and we all know how much you enjoy squabbling but
24:08i don't so if you want to contest sunny's trip with avery then file a response with the family court
24:15until then happy healing what's with the the tone come on i thought you were such a proponent of me and
24:23alexis you know calling a truce i was for molly's sake but this this whole interaction has to do with
24:31ava and anything having to do with ava is inordinately exhausting i think you're being overly dramatic
24:38well i don't look while you may enjoy handling your financially strapped clients interests pro bono
24:46i get no pleasure whatsoever from the never ending merry-go-round and the day
24:51that avery turns 18 and is finally an adult no one on this planet will be more excited than i
24:57just relax it's a vacation request i know so handle your clients interest through the proper channels
25:05and for god's sakes truce or not give alexis a break why would alexis need a break
25:15thank you for coming mom why are we meeting in carly's kitchen we're making a get well card for daddy
25:23he's at the doctors so christine is staying with me oh aren't you lucky christine is always so much
25:28fun i know i'm gonna get my markers that smell like fur okay that's a good idea that's exactly what that
25:35needs so you came over here because sonny is at the doctors yes yeah my dad is in l.a um seeing a
25:48doctor and carly went with him so i'm i'm helping out and watching donna all i want to know is if you're
25:56okay honestly i was scared out of my mind but donna was so sweet she she said chrissy i'm so glad you're
26:06here and it made me realize i'm glad i'm here too because i came so close to not being here
26:15i was just thinking about that gunshot that almost killed you 25 years ago and i can remember it like
26:24it was yesterday you know even if you want to forget it things like that get seared in your memory
26:31you flatlined on the operating table we lost you you wouldn't let me go
26:37no i wouldn't let the doctors give up on you i made them keep fighting because i knew you were
26:44fighting i'm telling you right now do not give up not for anything i don't care if you see the pearly
26:54gates and saint peter's is standing there holding a 1927 mcallen and waving you in you turn around and
27:00you come back do you hear me you make it through this i will i promise

28:42Yeah, we can if you're serious because I need your help.
28:45Yeah, those chocolate chips are not going to make it in on their own.
28:48You can turn on me.
28:50Dad, you have always been the only one that I could really turn to.
28:54But I took an oath to uphold the law and I'm going to keep that oath.
28:59I don't expect anything less.
29:03And if it gets worse and you're forced to arrest me one day, I'm always going to love you.
29:10I'm not going to love you any less.
29:12Do you understand me?
29:15You did the right thing.
29:16You were looking out for your family.
29:18Tough spot.
29:19You handled it like a champ.
29:22Thanks, Grandma.
29:24You got it.
29:25Did Grandpa Mike take you shopping the new a little?
29:28Yeah, he did.
29:30All the time.
29:31Can I see his picture?
29:34Yeah.
29:36Okay.
29:41Do you listen?
29:43Every day.
29:45Every single day.
29:47Okay, he's ready.
29:53It's official.
29:54They've hired me at Miller & Davis.
29:57Congratulations.
29:59I guess that means I owe you dinner.
30:01And I'm very happy to collect.
30:05You stuck around.
30:06Yeah, didn't want to miss it.
30:07How's the new house, Rocco?
30:09It's cool.
30:09You guys in Scout should check it out.
30:11Yeah, we'll make it happen.
30:12Go hit.
30:13I tried to hit.
30:18Look at these goofballs.
30:19What's that?
30:21I know you already know this,
30:23but Rocco means a lot to Danny.
30:25Yeah.
30:26Yeah, same.
30:27Danny for Rocco.
30:28They're brothers, man.
30:29We got to make sure they don't lose that connection.
30:30Yeah, we're going to make it happen.
30:33Sam would love seeing us.
30:37Yeah, she would.
30:43What the hell are you trying to pull Lulu?
31:04Is there a particular reason
31:06why I should take it easy on Alexis?
31:10Aside from common decency?
31:12No.
31:12Well, look, your truce with Alexis,
31:16or lack thereof,
31:16is absolutely none of my business.
31:18I'm going to file this petition,
31:22and you can do as you will.
31:33Nice try, Diane.
31:37Alexis told you the truth.
31:39I have been such a mess since the baby died.
31:42And then we lost Sam,
31:43and that was hell.
31:45And I have been putting you through hell
31:47since I was like 10.
31:50But I just, I'm so grateful for you, Mom.
31:54And more than that,
31:55I'm grateful for my life.
31:58I see now how much good I have waiting for me.
32:01Well, what I want for you is to be able to let the past go and know that there is good waiting for you.
32:11So you need to put yourself in a position to receive it.
32:14You really should get out more.
32:29I happen to find doing paperwork very comforting.
32:33Sometimes I'll just go to a restaurant,
32:35order a glass of wine,
32:36and work for hours.
32:38Wow.
32:39Really living on the edge.
32:41A joke,
32:42but these legal documents,
32:45this is a world I understand,
32:46where I am in control,
32:48unlike you and your devil horse.
32:50Yes.
33:04Yes.
