02:23and the herald sent reporters to cover it and uh thanks to lulu

04:28make him lose his peers
04:30it's a minor setback
04:32it would have been easier to have a sitting congressman by my side but it's not gonna stop me
04:38from making poor charles a sunny free zone

04:52don't bother sitting you're not staying long can we have a privacy please no i want her here whatever you have to say you can stay in front of her
04:59this is this is this has been a huge misunderstanding
05:04understanding i found you in our bedroom with a hooker
05:09exactly
05:10does that sound like me does that does that sound like anything that i would ever do
05:15i don't know drew
05:18right now i don't know who you are
05:20but i know what i saw
05:22and right now i trust my eyes
05:24more than i trust you
05:26trina just texted me they're taking kai in at three o'clock
05:34i wonder what the holdup is
05:36i grew up with two doctors so take it from me that doctors work on doctor time
05:41all right well do you want to go get a coffee
05:45um no but you go
05:48i gotta finish this data model for professor dalton
05:52the extra credit assignment that was posted
05:56oh right yeah of course
06:00you do know it's required if you want to apply to be his research assistant this summer
06:04um he asked me to do it so
06:07well that will be a great opportunity for you to show dalton what you could do
06:13oh i fully intend to show dalton what i can do
06:16okay everyone out
06:19that's a wrap
06:20kai that was great
06:23i could look with the surgery we'll talk later all right
06:25sounds good all right
06:26um do you think kai and i can just have a moment
06:32just one
06:35i'm trying to be a good sport and all but i thought he would never leave
06:43well
06:44you agreed to the documentary
06:46but
06:47you're doing great
06:48but
06:49then again
06:51you are pretty great
06:53what's going on
07:02brooklyn would you just talk to me
07:04if i have to hear one more person extolling the virtues of lulu i'm going to tear my hair out
07:10because tearing her hair out would only get me arrested
07:13what happened
07:15lulu has been holding this truth about dante and her child over my head
07:20she's tormenting me
07:22how so
07:23she's writing her first big article for the land view banner and guess what it's about
07:28adoption
07:29she is trying to drive me insane and chase i think it's working
07:34let's be clear
07:35let's be clear
07:36the land view banner chose this topic from three that i pitched to them
07:42but i may not have been completely honest as to
07:47why i wanted to tackle this particular subject
07:51okay
07:51okay
07:52so why are you so passionate about it
07:55you know that i will keep your confidence right sweet
08:00that's the thing mom it's not my confidence
08:02it's it's not my secret to tell
08:05i'm not even supposed to know this information
08:08so i don't get it
08:13you just kind of stumbled onto some information that you're not supposed to have
08:17stumbled
08:18snooped
08:19stuck my nose where it doesn't belong
08:21depends who you talk to
08:24oh dear
08:25well sweetheart the thing is i can't help you unless you tell me what it is
08:31i have knowledge
08:35about a child
08:38who has given up for adoption
08:41but not all the parties are aware
08:45and i'm in the position to change that
08:50haven't heard from you in a while jacks
09:04anything in particular going on
09:07nothing you don't already know about i'm just getting caught up in dalton's class
09:11so what else what do you got
09:13i saw dalton here
09:16i followed him to a lab
09:20he was carrying a briefcase
09:22i did not know what was in it but i know the lab number and that you need a keycard to get in
09:26good to know
09:29i saw him to know what's in it
09:33police commissioner i couldn't make out what they were saying but i know they didn't exchange
09:40numbers or any information okay and what about the research assistant position is it yours yet
09:47no but i have a lead on that right now i really think that we should speak privately right no
09:55no my daughter wants me here so i am staying you have some nerve drew barging into my home
10:02demanding privacy after the way that you publicly humiliated willow i don't remember any of that i
10:08would i would never do that well the entire internet says otherwise you are national news
10:15i know i know i know i know the paparazzi followed me over here if it wasn't for your doorman they
10:20probably would be up here with us right now willow i don't remember anything from last night how
10:27convenient no i don't i i barely remember anything after i left my office and i made a
10:34few phone calls don't you see something is wrong
10:39i don't agree with how you feel about my uncle sonny but i i do get it do you
10:51i spoke to jason he told me why you hold uncle sonny responsible for your nephew aj's death
11:00i don't just hold him responsible he's guilty he murdered my brother's son monica's son
11:07jason says sonny shot aj to save ava's life well of course he would say that he has to justify
11:13sonny's crimes but he's here now right he lives in the house but he's back with the family
11:24you're right about that but it was a long road to get him here
11:27you know what we can stop lulu from harassing you right now we go to dante we tell him everything
11:35and end this i'm tempted i'm so tired of lulu beating me up with this secret so let's go to
11:43dante it's not just about my comfort chase it's about my child my son is out there somewhere and
11:50there's a big part of me that wants to find him but there's a bigger part of me a better part of me
11:56that wants to protect him and not disrupt his life
12:00that's what makes you such a good mom i respect lulu's right to make her own choices i just wish
12:09she'd respect mine and leave me alone she will where are you going to put an end to this once and for all
12:19so there's a child involved technically yes is that child in any kind of physical danger
12:31not that i'm aware of okay so then so there's no immediate threat to anyone
12:41i i think that would be safe to say
12:45but what about the emotional threat
12:50to whom to everyone mom
12:55i think everyone deserves to know the truth i'd want to know but all i keep hearing is it's not my
13:03secret to tell and yet you know the secret and you have to carry it
13:08but in a way
13:17doesn't that make it my secret to share
13:21no
13:25no honey it doesn't i don't know all the details here i don't but
13:31i see how much it's weighing on you
13:34but as your mother i i just feel i have to advise you to be
13:41to be really careful playing god in somebody else's life
13:46i see
13:49no no no no no no no you don't touch anything i got this
13:53oh yeah you're actually here they are right now
13:55okay they'll be waiting sounds good see you soon
13:59wow so you two you two must be getting real comfortable over at the uh quarter mains huh
14:07that was yuri you left such a mess in the boathouse that he felt he had to call me and tell me about it
14:13sorry dad
14:15sorry
14:16oh i'm sorry but that's not going to cut it
14:18okay so yuri's on his way over here he's going to take you guys back to the boathouse
14:21you're going to clean it up leave it the way you found it spotless
14:24okay otherwise there's no woodchuck's game in your near future
14:27that's a little extreme
14:29i don't want to hear whatever it is you think you have to tell me right now okay
14:34you're old enough
14:35okay you make a mess
14:36take responsibility clean it up
14:39so you go do that we'll go to the game got it
14:42got it got it
14:43all right
14:44it really means a lot to me that you're supporting my decision despite the risks
14:51well i just know how much this means to you
14:54and i really admire you for going after what you want
14:58you're just leaving it on the field
15:00oh look at you nailing the lingo
15:03no but i am
15:05and i think i'll be stronger for it
15:08it's time
15:12okay
15:14it's game time
15:16i'll see you on the other side okay
15:19and um just for luck
15:21okay
15:25hey trina
15:29thank you for everything
15:33you're welcome
15:35is that the first time you've looked up since you sat down
15:58no but pretty close
15:59god i just want to get this done
16:02you know
16:03gotta turn it into dalton in the morning
16:05and i promised you i'd go with him to the bonfire party tonight at king's beach
16:09wow
16:10your kind of multitasking is not for the week
16:13no it's randomly hot out
16:15i'm almost done with my data model
16:17so i thought it'd be a pretty nice way to blow off some steam
16:19you know what
16:22you should come
16:24maybe i'll meet you there
16:26oh you guys have been waiting here
16:31yeah we knew you'd come out eventually
16:33oh
16:34how are you
16:35how's kai
16:36well i'm freaking out
16:38i'm trying to keep it to myself
16:39and kai is like
16:41surprisingly
16:42just
16:43excited
16:44and calm
16:45which is
16:46amazing
16:47considering how much he's got writing on this
16:49yeah
16:49well
16:50that sounds like him
16:51it really does
16:52but it doesn't help that drew's got this documentarian
16:55shoving a camera in his face every chance he gets
16:57it's crazy
16:58drew shouldn't be sending a camera after anybody
17:01yeah i know even i saw that video online
17:03i barely looked up for my data model
17:05honestly i don't even know what day of the week it is anymore guys
17:08well after his little performance at the savoy last night
17:13drew should be hiding under a rock
17:15none of this should be hard to remember drew
17:19there is footage of you out partying with the same woman i found half naked in our bedroom this morning
17:24i have no idea who that woman is
17:27maybe you didn't engage in much conversation but you certainly didn't look like you were there against your will and neither did she
17:32willow that's not who i am
17:34well all the footage out there says otherwise
17:37nina
17:37what drew what
17:39the video show
17:40what the video show
17:41and you're lucky that willow's even speaking to you
17:44instead you're angry because willow won't ignore what she saw in
17:48your home with her own two eyes because you simply said
17:53that it didn't happen
17:54i'm not asking her i'm not i'm not asking you to do anything
17:57i love you with all my heart
18:02i'm just asking you to trust that
18:04you're asking me to trust you
18:08that is all that is all i've been doing i have given up my entire life for you
18:14my marriage
18:15and now because of you i might lose my kids
18:18i'm not playing god
18:26well no not intentionally honey
18:28but
18:29just think about it
18:32i mean
18:32sweetheart this is not your child right
18:35no
18:40okay
18:42okay then so you are not going to be directly impacted by the information coming out
18:49well i sort of
18:52it sounds to me like you have the luxury of perspective here
18:57right
18:59you can step back from the situation and look at it and figure out
19:02what would i do if i were in that position without having the burden of the angst of having to
19:11make the choice to give up a child
19:14mom i understand
19:16what it would have been like making a decision like that
19:25i hope you do
19:29i think you can
19:33and if you can
19:38imagine that then imagine having your agency taken away
19:42having somebody else come in and say
19:44i know what's best for you and for your child in this case
19:48i mean i i i would hope
19:51that you would not take that position lightly
19:55well i guess i have to give jason credit
20:00he was
20:01honest with you about his
20:04version of the truth
20:05your version's very different
20:07yeah well my version's the truth
20:10jason's
20:12perception
20:14is seen through a distorted lens from
20:18too many years at
20:19sunny's knee the man that jason is now is not the boy i knew
20:24this man is largely sunny's work
20:27a lot of people
20:29admire jason
20:30he has a lot of admirable qualities
20:35but he had a lot more potential before sunny robbed him of them
20:40replaced it with violence you have a lot of admirable qualities
20:45and i would hate for sunny to steal them from you
20:50you
20:52not a lot of other people are going to be better off when sunny is gone
20:57hey man what's going on is lulu here uh no she she's not is there something i can do for her
21:17uh no she she's not is there something i can do for her
21:21yeah yeah you can tell her back the hell off my wife
21:25is it cool if i get some footage of you waiting
21:36the doctors wouldn't give me approval to film the actual procedure
21:39i suppose i can't stop you
21:42i signed the release form so
21:44you won't even notice me
21:45actually could you two sign a release as well
21:49i don't think so
21:55yeah no
21:56but i need you to sign a release in order to film the three of you
22:00i just don't really like being on camera
22:03you can talk to my agent
22:05would you consider moving
22:07got it
22:11guess i'll go take a break
22:13bye
22:14all right
22:19you come in kind of hot here man don't you think
22:22well i get kind of hot when someone tries to hurt my wife
22:25oh okay look look that that's not what's happening
22:29this is the brooklyn lulu thing man it's their history
22:32they both give as good as they get
22:35okay look
22:35you and i we don't need to get involved in this
22:38that's not an option anymore
22:40brooklyn and i are in the early stages of planning to adopt
22:44and expand our family
22:45yeah that's that's awesome
22:48man i just i don't know what this has to do with lulu
22:52lulu knows that brooklyn and i have been trying to have a baby
22:55she also knows that it is a sensitive and painful matter
22:59it's also a private one
23:01yeah it is and she knows that
23:02and in spite of that she just has to write an article on adoption
23:06come on man that's not a coincidence
23:08okay hang on a second
23:10you come here basically banging down lulu's door
23:13because she's writing an adoption article
23:15don't you think that's a like a little bit of an overreaction
23:19grandmother i owe you an apology
23:30i didn't mean to snap at you
23:34i don't need an apology
23:36i need an explanation
23:38i was upset with lulu
23:42oh please
23:43i am sick to death of your tit for tat between the two of you
23:49this isn't exactly a tit for tat level problem i swear
23:52you are not teenagers anymore
23:55and these petty jealousies are beneath you
23:59so would you please tell me
24:01my beloved granddaughter
24:03whom i adore
24:05why are you so threatened by lulu
24:08okay
24:13so in lieu of
24:18playing god
24:19what should i do
24:23what would you do mom
24:28you know what i'm not gonna pretend to have all the answers
24:32i'm just not
24:34look at
24:36look at the choices i made
24:39with nicholas
24:41you know you and your
24:43your brother and your father
24:45didn't know anything about him
24:48you didn't even meet him until he was a teenager
24:50and that's because of a choice i made
24:52but there were extenuating circumstances mom
24:57there are always extenuating circumstances
25:00with these decisions
25:02always
25:03but i made that choice
25:06and then
25:08when you became ill
25:11and i i knew that there was a chance that he might be able to save your life and
25:15i chose to bring him back into our lives
25:20and i'm grateful you made that choice
25:24but it cost you
25:27yeah
25:31i mean
25:33all of our choices in life cost
25:37something
25:38some are easy to pay
25:38and some you pay for for the rest of your life
25:40but listen to me
25:43choosing
25:45to expose somebody else's secret or their truth
25:48you know
25:49that
25:51is hubris
25:52it is sweetheart
25:55and then
25:56listen

25:59you would be responsible for
26:02for all of it
26:03so i'm not going to tell you what to do

26:09that you would think long and hard
26:12before you did anything

31:03i can see why lulu would be threatened by you
31:08you're a very successful business woman
31:11you have lots of talents
31:15and you have a wonderful husband who is devoted to you
31:18and you're at the very beginning of starting a family
31:22and yet
31:24with all that
31:26lulu's mere existence
31:29riles you up
31:31why is that
31:34brooklyn asked lulu not to write the article
31:40yeah i know
31:41i know
31:41okay
31:42look i can see how this would be
31:45like a sensitive issue
31:47but just so you know how this went down
31:49like lulu came up with three article ideas
31:52okay
31:53she presented them to the editor at the banner
31:55and and she chose the adoption article
31:58okay
31:59this is a
32:00it's a think piece man
32:02like names are gonna be changed
32:04well why was adoption one of the three possibilities for lulu to pick to begin with
32:08i don't know man
32:09maybe people find it interesting that aren't you and brooklyn
32:12okay
32:13look
32:13lulu's just trying to be a journalist again
32:16okay
32:17she got a gig
32:18she's not gonna turn it down because it's hurting brooklyn's feelings
32:21don't brush off brooklyn's feelings like that
32:23what
32:24whoa
32:24man i'm not
32:25i'm not
32:27okay
32:28i'm just telling you
32:29i don't run
32:29lulu
32:30no one does
32:31she does whatever she wants
32:32precisely
32:33lulu's not just doing a job
32:35she's intentionally trying to hurt brooklyn
32:38okay
32:38you know what
32:39i feel like you're sort of throwing out accusations and assumptions here about lulu's motives
32:44with like no proof
32:45i am asking you as a friend
32:48get lulu to back off brooklyn
32:51will you do that
32:54so
33:00so emma's the leading candidate for dalton's research assistant position
33:05she will be at a college bonfire tonight with a thumb drive that has dalton's data model on it
33:11she's planning on turning it in tomorrow
33:13so what i have to do is get that drive copy it corrupt it somehow get it back to her without her noticing and do this all before she has the chance to back it up
33:23and you need me there as backup
33:26possibly
33:26possibly
33:27think you could come up with a reason why you'd be on king's beach tonight
33:32i will do whatever you need
33:35one question though
33:36are you really prepared to sabotage your friends
33:40totally saving me from another interrogation with my grandmother
33:47it's no problem
33:48i'm glad you're coming
33:49and you know maybe joss isn't so bad after all
33:53i mean she was really great with trina today so there might be a little more to her than i give her credit for
33:58rocco you basically live with your mom and sister we never get to see each other anymore

35:33to the hospital
35:35i mean obviously you know how the hospital works

35:39and everything is on the up and up
35:40willow you don't have to entertain this
35:42or feed into his lies
35:44you're right
35:47i don't want any more lies
35:50that's why i have to find out the truth for myself

36:41yeah i don't think so
36:43okay i'll describe myself and we'll go
36:47i don't know if we should go to the game
36:49why
36:53i need your help with something lulu
36:57i need your help with brooklyn
37:02you have blinders on when it comes to lulu
37:08you don't see her as she is
37:10you see her as your last remaining tie to luke
37:13you're wrong
37:16you're wrong lulu
37:20lulu is so much more than her father's daughter
37:26and just for the record i see her and know her exactly as she is warts and all
37:33and i will not apologize for loving her
37:37she's trying to rebuild a life that was taken from her
37:42she's finding her place in the world and reconnecting with her children
37:48why would you begrudge her that
37:50i don't
37:51well it seems like you don't want her to have anything as much as you've got it's a problem
37:57for you it's not a problem oh really because it seems like you don't want her to have a house or a family or a job i don't care if lulu has anything i care that she knows that i got pregnant when i was in high school
38:13and i gave the baby up for adoption
38:16i care that your precious lulu has been holding that fact over my head and threatening to blow my life up
38:26on the next general hospital why are brooklyn's needs more important than mine
38:35do you regret that choice i think she's gonna need a friend like you
38:38this is how we blend i'm afraid of you
38:40that sounds great
38:42this was you wasn't it
38:44i have you just results
