THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Is it just me or have things calm down around here? Well, with all that crypt stuff finally being settled, everyone can finally take a breath. We’re also down a man. Hmm? With your mom being back in Bensonhurst. Oh, right. Do you think that was a good call? My mom going back? I love her, but we definitely needed some space. Ah, there you two are. I’ve been looking all over for you. For us? Why? Ooh, I got a surprise for you. Come on in. Ta da! [ Laughs ] Isn’t that the best? Welcome home, Lo. Lulu Spencer in my stables. Oh, don’t you mean the Quartermaines’ stables? Ah. Potato, potahto. To what do I owe the pleasure? You might want to sit down for this. I don’t think I do. I’m here to apologize. What? You clean out my lollipop stash? [ Chuckles ] No. I think there might be a few left. Okay. So, what did you do? I played you, Cody, and I thought I should come clean about it before you figured it out. Okay. I lied to you when I said I knew about Dante and Brook Lynn. I didn’t know that they’d ever been a thing until you confirmed it for me. Dante: Is that right? Uh, care to explain? [ Whistles poorly ] Good morning. What’s wrong? What do you mean, what’s wrong? Well, you’re attempting to whistle. [ Sighs ] Would you rather I sing? God, no. No. But you’re… dare I say, perky. And usually I arrive after you. I actually went to the gym. I worked out. It actually does make your day go by better. Who are you? Is this you in a good mood? Did Rick die? Diane! Well, it’s a fair question. No, as far as I know, he’s still alive. Well, then what has gotten into you? I got my girls back. [ Tapping on door ] Kristina, hi. Hey. How are you feeling? Pretty good, actually. I’m just bored out of my mind. You mind if I come in? No. Come in, come in, please. These are for you. I’ll add these to the others you’re getting. Definitely feel loved. Thank you so much. This is really sweet of you. Yeah. I’m just so sorry this happened for you and for Rick. It’s It’s awful. Yeah. Not Not my best car ride ever. But I’m glad we’re both okay. Thank God. It’s really nice of you to come check on me. Yeah. Of course. You were really there for me when I lost my baby. And you had my back when Ava tried to take Avery. And, you know, you’re always there for everyone else. So I I just wanted to do the same for you. [ Knock on door ] Lucky: Hello. I just can’t get over it. How rare for an opportunity like this to fall into our laps. It didn’t “fall into” our laps, Ava. My brakes were cut, and I almost was murdered. As was Elizabeth. Kristina is certifiable. Cutting the brakes on my car what she thought was my car in the hopes that I’d go careening to my death. Okay, okay, more more I think about this, we go to the police. What does that really get us? A lunatic off the street? Well, couldn’t we aim higher? [ Sighs ] Bigger? Couldn’t we use this information to our advantage? Okay. As tempting as that sounds, blackmailing Sonny will get us nowhere, except maybe an early grave. Oh, Ric, I’m not planning on blackmailing Sonny. I have something far better in mind. Lois, I didn’t expect you back so soon. Soon? Seems like she was going a million years. Well, I would’ve given you all a heads up, but Olivia wanted it to be a surprise, so… Surprise! Mission accomplished. [ Clears throat ] Can I get a hug? Yeah. Of course. Welcome home, Ma. Shoot. You know what? I I got, um, a Deception call that I I’ve got to get on. We’ll catch up later, okay? You know what? I’m gonna go help her with that. With a Deception call? Yeah, those video calls can be tricky. You got to enable the audio and the the camera and put it in gallery view. I mean, it’s it’s a whole thing. Yeah. I totally get it. I had a call like that once, and the camera did this whole jiggly thing. It wasn’t great, so, yeah. Just one more thing I need to check. It’s good to have you home, Lois. What? Don’t give me “what.” I know you and Brook Lynn had a fight, but now you can’t be in the same room together? What the hell is going on? Why are you dredging up ancient history and telling Lulu? I I didn’t, no. I Well, it kind of sounds like you did. This isn’t Cody’s fault. I tricked him into telling me. What? Why? I…had a hunch you weren’t being entirely open about your history with Brook Lynn. And my curiosity got the best of me, and I figured that Cody would be the one that would know the truth. Huh. Yeah, I’m sure he really had to drag it out of him. I thought she already knew, man. I would never have done that. You know how good I am at getting information when I want to. Again, I am sorry for misleading you. Apology not even close to accepted. You two need to figure out whatever weird thing you’re doing. I gotta feed the horses. [ Sighs ] What are you doing, Lulu? Why dig up old dirt on me and Brook Lynn? Why lie to me for years about Brook Lynn? Molly went to check on Ric to see if he was okay after the car crash. That makes sense. Kristina was there, too. At the hospital? That makes less sense because Kristina can’t stand the sight of Ric, and rightly so. Kristina wasn’t there for Ric. She was there for Molly. She was finally able to put aside all of that animosity that she had for the first time since they lost the baby. The two girls connected. And Molly was receptive to all this? Yes. They both put their weapons down and came together in a way that they hadn’t for I don’t even know how long. Oh, honey, I know this means everything to you. It does. And, you know, I didn’t really realize how much until it happened. How’s the patient? Better by the minute, thanks to my well wishers. Good to see you, Kristina. Everything good? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Lucky. Elizabeth. Are you sneaking contraband into the hospital? Yes. But don’t tell the head nurse. By any chance, is it a baked good from her youngest son? Man, I can’t get anything past you. Yes, courtesy of Aiden. Oh, I told him not to, but I’m so glad he did. You need to have one of these. They’re so good. Oh, you know what? I am still totally full from breakfast, and I actually should get going, so, um… Thank you for coming to see me and my beautiful flowers. Of course. Actually, Kristina, I need to speak to you. It’s a Charlie’s thing. Okay, sure. Yeah. I’ll be right back. Okay. Alexis is the one who’s going to pay. [ Monitor beeping ] [ Sighs ] I see. So you’re going to use Kristina’s crimes… Attempted murder. …to blackmail Alexis to get her to reopen the Cassadine coffers. It’s just inspired, isn’t it? Yeah. Except Kristina goes free. So? So?! I almost died! Elizabeth broke her leg! She She had to have surgery on it. She could have been paralyzed! Alright, I’ve seen your precious Elizabeth, and she’s just fine. And she’s not the delicate flower you and Nikolas make her out to be, by the way. The woman can handle herself. Look, Elizabeth deserves to know the truth about the accident. She should have her day in court. I didn’t realize you were so driven by justice. I thought a nice, fat payday would keep you warmer at night than that. Yeah, most times it would. Okay, well, I have a question for you. How will Molly feel if you send her only remaining sister to prison? So how’s that Deception call going? Sorry for bailing. Just feel like I got ambushed up there, and, I don’t know, my body just went into fight or flight mode, and I guess I chose flight. I don’t think ambush was your mother’s intention. Then what was? She missed you, and she wanted to see you. The sneak attack was Olivia’s idea. You’re being very generous. Okay? I think my mom didn’t want to give me the heads up because she was afraid that I’d tell her to stay in Bensonhurst. Would you have? I don’t know, but just seeing her has got me all fired up again. Fired up because Lois told Gloria about your baby without your permission? Or knowledge. Or because Lois is a walking reminder about the secret that you and Dante have a son to begin with? I’m not gonna rehash my childhood with you, Lulu. What happened with me and Brook Lynn, we were teenagers, and it was nothing. Then why lie about it? And if memory serves and I know that mine might be a little bit rusty Brook Lynn was very much an adult when she came to Port Charles to break us up. Tried to break us up. It didn’t work. So that makes it okay? No, Lulu, it makes it this thing that happened so long ago, I can’t believe we’re still talking about it. So much has happened since then. Like, why are you so laser focused on Brook Lynn right now? Because I don’t enjoy being lied to or gaslit. Who’s gaslighting you? You. My parents taught me to trust my gut. And it always told me that there was something more going on between you and Brook Lynn than you were letting on. But when I ask you about it, you made me feel like I’m crazy, like it’s outside the realm of possibility. And now we find out that that isn’t true. And it makes me think, after everything we’ve been through… What? It makes me wonder if you’re someone I can trust. Kristina has struggled so much with this, and I know that Molly has, too. Yeah, but Molly’s always been somehow better at it. I’m not going to lie. She has been better at it because she’s emotionally stronger. She just is. She’s able to put one foot in front of the other and face whatever comes at her head on. Well, Kristina has always been a little, mm, fragile than volatile, right? You think? A little? [ Laughs ] Well, listen, it’s okay, though, because Kristina is a very passionate young woman who, when she does get knocked down, yes, she takes a little longer to get up, but she always gets up, Alexis. You know, I think Kristina saw Molly as the enemy because of the way she grieves. Molly grieved differently. She did. She has a totally different process. And Kristina interpreted that as her not having big enough feelings and that Molly’s feelings weren’t right. And now? And now I think she realizes that. And she realizes that she can’t heal without her sister. That’s a beautiful realization. It’s a relief. I think they’re each other’s missing piece. Mm. And they need each other to lean on. They do, to heal after everything we’ve all had to go through. Uh huh. This has been a grueling, torturous, God awful storm, honey, but you have weathered it, and there are fairer days ahead. You know what? I’m really starting to believe that. Mm hmm. I am. Not only does Molly respect and understand the law, she has more integrity in her pinky than I do in my entire body. I swear, sometimes I don’t even know where she gets it. Certainly not from her mother. [ Sighs ] God knows I have given Alexis a lot of grief over this, but I think it was actually beneficial that Molly wasn’t the central focus of Alexis’s parenting. If Sonny or Alexis had ever made Kristina actually pay for any of her mistakes, she probably wouldn’t be such a train wreck. Yes, exactly. And because Kristina had to have more and more attention all the time, Molly was forced to be independent. I’m telling you, my daughter is the definition of responsible. While her sister is decidedly not. That’s exactly my point. You do realize that by covering this up and blackmailing Alexis, you’re allowing said train wreck to escape all culpability. Are you prepared to risk that? She’s a loose cannon, Ava. It’s not going to take much for Kristina to fly off the handle and try to kill you…again. Okay. What What were you doing in Elizabeth’s room? You know what I was doing in Elizabeth’s room. I was I was visiting her. I brought her flowers. Is that all? You mean, like, did I bring her chocolates, too? I was checking on her. I wanted to see that she was okay for myself. And then what? What do you mean then what? Were you thinking about confessing? [ Sighs ] Maybe. I don’t know. Maybe. Maybe? Maybe. Okay? I feel terrible, Lucky. Yeah, of course you do. And you should. Elizabeth almost died because of me. And I almost killed my sister’s father. I’m sorry, Lucky, but that’s that’s I don’t know if I can live with that. This is about something from a long time ago. You know, I I… I made some decisions where Brook Lynn is concerned, and I thought they were in her best interest. And I guess she did not agree with this decision? She had every right not to, you know? This is It’s personal for her, honey. I’m sorry. I can’t get into it. Understood. Understood. But something’s got to give. You know? I mean, I just cannot handle this kind of distance with my daughter. Trust me, Chase, I don’t need my mom to remind me that I’ve got a son out there. It’s not exactly something I’d forget. I didn’t mean to hit a nerve. [ Sighs ] Lately, I just feel like one big nerve. And whenever I see Dante or my dad or Olivia or Uncle Sonny, or basically anybody in our inner circle, it hits me right in the face. How many people would have loved my child? They don’t even know he exists. That’s a lot to carry. [ Sighs ] It was a lot easier when I was younger. I was a kid. I had no business raising a child. But now? You’re not a kid anymore. Adulting stinks. In case nobody’s told you. Hey, look at me. If this is a secret that you genuinely want to keep, I will support you. And I’ll go to my grave without ever telling a soul. I know you will. But if you don’t want the truth to come out, you got to do a way better job of hiding it. You don’t feel like you can trust me because of some camp romance I didn’t tell you about? You lied, Dante. I omitted a detail that I didn’t think mattered. Okay, a lie by omission. Whatever. You still weren’t honest. Okay. You win. Okay. Every nook and cranny about my life that has happened to me, you’re entitled to know about, whether or not you were a part of it then or not. Okay? My bad. No, Brook Lynn wasn’t something you shoved in some nook or some cranny and forgot about. But the camp thing was actually. But fine. I should have told you about it. I should have told you what happened, even though we were teenagers, even though it amounted to exactly nothing. Okay? So here you go. Dante. No, no no, no. You want to know everything? This is everything. Okay? For one summer, Brook Lynn and I were training to be camp counselors, okay? Together. And we hooked up, and that’s it. We didn’t even stay together after camp. I mean, it was over before it even started. And then, you know, we went on and had lives and made lives with other people. And you happened, and Sam happened, and Brook Lynn and Chase got married. Do you see what I’m trying to say to you? Yes, but No, that’s it. There is no “but.” Nothing that went down that summer mattered. But what if it did? It’s a good thing that you feel guilty. No, it means you’re not some kind of sociopath who goes around hurting people without caring. But here’s the thing, Kristina. You can’t take that guilt and put it on Elizabeth. I’m not. Yes, you are. And not only is it not fair to her, it’s going to end up getting you caught! So you need to decide is that what you want? I don’t know! I I… What I want is I I… I want to not put Elizabeth in any more harm than I already have. Okay. Good. But if you decide that you can’t live with this, your next stop needs to be your mom’s office and not Elizabeth’s hospital room. [ Sighs ] So j Go to your mom. Work on a confession with her that’ll get you a plea deal, one that doesn’t send you to prison for the rest of your life. Deanna: You rang? I did. What’s up? Can you help me into this wheelchair? There’s someone I need to visit. There’s risk in everything, Ric. Not like this, Ava! You’re not taking your chances crossing the street. Kristina tried to kill you! And she could make another attempt. I can handle Kristina. [ Scoffs ] How? You didn’t see this one coming. Now I’m on guard. I didn’t want it to come to this. After the accident last summer, I did my very best to steer clear of Kristina. I wanted us both to have a peaceful path forward, but she wouldn’t have it. Not sending her to prison is the very last grace I will extend to her. Oh. How generous. Especially when you’re extorting millions from her mother. Well, that’s just business, Ric. I may despise Alexis, but I’m willing to work with her on a mutually beneficial transaction. Just one? Mnh. Multiple transactions. Like a steady I.V. drip. You get some rest, okay? I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll be right here. Alright. Enough about my family. Talk to me about this new prospect you would like me to consider. Thank you. Well [ Knock on door ] Oh. Look at that. Right on time. Marco. I am so glad you could stop by. My pleasure. Diane: May I introduce you to my law partner, Alexis Davis? Alexis, meet Marco Rios. Very nice to meet you. You, as well. [ Diane giggles ] Have a seat. [ Cellphone dings ] [ Laughs ] Wouldn’t you know it? I have been called into judge’s chambers. That’s fine. That will give the two of you a chance to get to know each other better. Marco. You should know… Alexis is the good cop. [ Giggles ] [ Door closes ] On most days. You want me to talk to Brook Lynn? [ Sighs ] What good would that do? Why You know, I know and love you both. I’m removed enough to be a little bit objective. You know, maybe maybe I could help the two of you sort this thing out. I think it might just make things worse. How could it be any worse? [ Chuckles ] I mean, you know, I know I live with the Quartermaines, but I do still have the ability to be tactful. I know you do. I just think that this is something that Brook Lynn and I need to figure out ourselves. Too many cooks in the kitchen? Maybe. I guess you’re right. Direct communication is always gonna be the best. I just I I can’t stand to see you hurting. Thank you. Just know… if you need help with Brook Lynn or anything else… I’m here for you, always. I know you are. Look. I’m not trying to make you paranoid. Too late. But you’re lucky that it was me and Olivia at the house. Could you imagine if Tracy or Dante saw that reunion? Granny definitely would’ve been asking questions. She already has. And Dante would’ve been more discreet. But come on. He’s a cop. Okay. So then what do I do? Just avoid Ma altogether so that we’re not tense around each other? That’ll only make it more obvious. I think you need to come together, and you need to fix it. I don’t know how, Chase. I am still so angry! I know. But you also love your mom. I do. She’s my ride or die. It’s probably why it hurts so much. Look, I swear I’m not trying to guilt you, but I would give anything to have one more day with my dad. Even an hour or or a minute. And the last thing I’d want to do is spend it fighting. I know you wouldn’t. But you and Gregory… Were just as close as you and your mom. It’s true. So I’m thinking if you really want to keep this secret, you got to figure out a way to get over the hurt… and forgive her. I kind of feel like maybe you’re grabbing on to this thing with Brook Lynn because of… all the changes that have happened in your life. Thank you… Dr. Falconeri. I will keep your diagnosis in mind. Alright, look, I’m not actually trying to psychoanalyze you. Oh, good, because I have Kevin for that. Yeah, I just don’t think this thing with Brook Lynn is good for you, and it’s not rooted in anything real. How would you feel if I was freaking out about some guy you had a crush on in your teens? Brook Lynn is not “some guy.” Okay. No, she’s not, but y you’re making her out to be more than she is. We were two kids with a crush. Full stop. And when she came to Port Charles… …did you have any lingering feelings for her? When Brook Lynn came to Port Charles, the only woman in my heart, the only woman who’s ever truly had my heart… was you. Alexis: I’m sure by now you’ve gathered that Diane’s and my goal is to strike a healthy balance between rainmakers and justice seekers. I tend to be more open to pro bono work, and Diane gravitates toward banking billable hours. Sounds like you make a good team. I think we do. Most of our income comes from criminal law retainers, and I noticed that that was a specialty of yours at some point. At one point, yes. I tend to focus on more entrepreneurially legitimate clients now. Okay, so how would you feel about representing a client who has been alleged to engage in an illegal enterprise? That depends. How so? If I’m being made explicitly aware of the alleged illegal enterprise. So you’re trying to scare me now? Scare you? No. No. I’m just trying to be real with you. I mean, what reason do I have to coddle you? Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t need you to coddle me, okay? Here’s the reality for me in all of this, okay? I am putting myself on the line, lying to the woman I love, which I hate, but I will… because I believe that you’re a good person who made a mistake. And I myself have made a few. Not sure you’ve been exactly here before. Yeah. Well, close enough. So… I will help you cover this up, but this only works if you commit to it and you get help. Can you do that? Hey. You up for a visitor? If it’s you? Always. Thank you, Deanna. You’re welcome. Can you just give us a few minutes? Of course. Thanks. [ Door closes ] I was so relieved that you’re alright. When I woke up and they told me that you were hurt, I… Ric. [ Chuckles ] I’m fine. [ Sighs ] Broken leg is not exactly fine, Elizabeth. [ Sighs ] And the fact that I was driving… If anything had happened… if I’d have lost you… [ Sighs ] …I would have never forgiven myself. Just the way you like it. Livvy, you don’t need to wait on me. I know my way around here. It’s a cup of tea. It’s not a luau pig with an apple in its mouth. [ Laughs ] Thank you. Yeah. Oh, Honey. Honey, it’s gonna be okay. You’re gonna work this out with Brook Lynn. Hey. Huh? You are such a good friend to me, Liv. I don’t know what I would do without you. Geez Louise. I I gotta bring you tea more often, huh? No, no, no, I mean it. What we have… it’s special. No. What we have… is ancient. Can you believe… We have known each other since before pre K! Since you were trying to put my hair in pigtails! Oh, okay. Now, pigtails were all the rage back then. You would have looked so cute in them. [ Laughs ] Just so you know Just ’cause I don’t let you do my hair… I’ve always got your back. Because what we got… it’s not just friends. Oh, it’s family. Thank you. And thank you for saying that. No, I say it because I mean it. And And whatever it is you’re going through, when you’re ready to open up about it, honey, you know I am a vault. We can tell each other anything. Capiche? Capiche. Okay. Good. I’m gonna go check on Monica. I love you. Love you, too. Yeah, we could tell each other anything… except this. I do love my mom. Very much. And I want to just snap my fingers and be over this. But it’s hard. She and my grandma lied to me for decades. And it hurts. You know, I thought my ma and I told each other everything, and she let me think that we did… which makes this the ultimate betrayal. [ Sighs ] Which makes me the biggest hypocrite on the planet. Why do you say that? Because here I am, moaning and groaning about my mom lying to my face and keeping a secret for all these years when I’m doing the exact same thing to Dante and my dad and about a million other people! Alright. I see why you say that, but it’s not the same thing. I’m just so glad I don’t have to keep anything from you. I can be honest. You can trust me with anything. And if this secret ever gets too big or too heavy or too anything… I will be right by your side when you come clean to Dante or anybody else. I love you. If only you knew how much. You’re right. I, uh I should have told you the truth about what happened with me ans Brook Lynn. Uh, would’ve stopped this thing from blowing up like this. Nice work. [ Sighs ] My gut. It was right again. Oh. Wow. Okay. Well, uh… I think also by not telling you what happened, I, uh, gave you another reason to distrust Brook Lynn. [ Scoffs] Yeah. Like I needed another reason. I’m sorry for not being honest with you. Thank you. And I’m grateful that you know me well enough that you can call me out on stuff. Are you grateful, though? Because it kind of feels like it annoys you. Yeah. No. Let’s just say the benefits outweigh the costs. Fair enough. I, uh… I want us to be able to trust each other. It’s important for Rocco. So, uh, no more secrets between us. Okay? Good. Okay. So we’re good? We’re good. I gotta find my mom. Uh, Leo wants me to get fake police badges for some school project he’s doing. What, you can’t at least hook him up with a real badge? What’s the point of having a cop for a brother? Yeah, I know, right? It’s crazy. You know, you ask your police captain for 25 police badges, you think it’d go over differently. Have fun with the project. Lulu. What are you trying to pull? Ric: They said that you had to have surgery on your leg, and it looks like you hit your head. Did they check your spine? [ Chuckles ] I’ve gotten the best care. Yes, I I had surgery, but it went well and I’m fine. How long is your recovery? Eh. Six to eight weeks. [ Groans ] But And then there will be some rehab. And I’ll be walking these halls in no time. You have the best attitude. Mm. You just caught me in a good moment. I’m really glad we’re both okay. I was very worried about you. We’re awfully lucky, Ric. Yeah, we really are. Yeah. So, do you remember what happened? Alexis: In this case, said client would mask their alleged illegal activities behind a thin veil of hypotheticals. Thereby allowing me and my firm legal deniability. Yes. Then, in that case, as long as said client doesn’t put me or my firm in legal jeopardy… I believe they’re entitled to a defense. That being said, if the client were to cross a line that went against a deeply held belief of mine, I would have no problem recusing myself for the benefit of us both. All money isn’t good money. Sometimes it’s best to just say no. Thank you, Mr. Rios. Please. Call me Marco. I really enjoyed talking to you. I will confer with Diane, and I think it’s safe to say that a job offer will be forthcoming. I look forward to receiving it. Thank you for meeting with me. It was a pleasure. Same. [ Sighs and clears throat ] [ Knock on door ] Come in! Hello, Alexis. [ Groans ] [ Door closes ] We have a little business to attend to. I said I was sorry. And I refuse to accept. You sought me out and strongly implied that Brook Lynn had told you already that she came clean about her and Dante. And then whoops! Oh, no. No. Never mind. She didn’t. It never happened. Look, I can explain everything! No, you can’t. No, you can’t, Lulu. And even if you tried, why would I listen to you? You’re spinning a lot of stories to a lot of different people, and I know a con when I see one. So…last chance. What’s really going on with you? Lois! Hey. Oh. My mom said you were coming back. She did, did she? Yeah. I think she was going stir crazy here without you. Oh, no. She was just missing the extra hands, you know? There’s There’s a lot going on with all the kids running around here. There’s a lot of people in this house. [ Laughs ] Yeah, yeah. But she loves it, you know? Being around that family is just It’s a It’s a gift. Brook Lynn: Ma, I think we need to talk Dante. Hey. Brook Lynn: Hi. What do you remember? [ Sighs ] Not much. I remember getting into your car and buckling my seatbelt. We were talking about helping Portia, and then the car swerved. That’s it. What about you? Uh, I remember, um… I was trying to avoid traffic, so that’s why I took Route 42 and… We were, um… chugging along pretty good there, and… Then I lost control of the car. Must’ve hit some black ice or something. Kristina: I can’t confess. And it’s not about me, Lucky. It’s not. It’s It’s my my parents, okay? They’ve both been T They’re just going through too much. My father with his health issues. And my mom, she’s she’s gone through enough. And I can’t add “Kristina goes to prison” to that list. I just can’t. Okay. But what do I do if someone finds out?

Alexis: Doesn’t it get exhausting showing up in places where you’re not wanted? You know, I don’t give that much thought. Ava, please. Go away. I think that you’re gonna change your tune once you hear what I have to say. I doubt it. You can always make time to discuss Kristina’s future. Can’t you, Alexis?
