00:00I heard you from up the path. Wow. You always give it everything you got even when you're just
00:16playing for the ducks. Well, the ducks don't mind if I make a mistake. Seriously, Gio,
00:21you're a pro, which is why I'm hoping you will help me out. See, Lucy's got me in a real bind.
00:30Yeah, just give me a call and we can talk through the event from top to bottom. Okay? I hope you can do it.
00:37Okay, bye. Is everything okay? Oh, yeah. That was just my girl, Melanie. She's an amazing lighting
00:42director and I want her to do the nurse's ball. I guess Lucy's guy, best why, he can't make it.
00:49Are you looking for Brooklyn? No. Actually, I was looking for you. Oh, okay.
00:53Yeah. I just wanted to say that I'm really glad you're back. Oh, that's really good to hear
01:01because honestly, Chase, I thought you'd never be happy to see me again.
01:07No sign of Alexis? Not yet. She's cutting it pretty close.
01:12Well, if she doesn't show, I'd just as soon turn Christina into the cops.
01:18Detective Falconeri. You got a minute?
01:21For law enforcement? Always.
01:25Rick?
01:32Oh, there you are.
01:38All right, now you're sure you're ready for this.
01:41I got it. I got it.
01:42I wanted some peace and pride in my own home. Don't hit my foot.
01:45I got it. Okay.
01:46You're good. Okay.
01:47Okay. Here we go.
01:48I can't wait to crawl into my bed.
01:50Welcome home!
01:51Welcome home!
02:02It's no fun playing catch-up, is it?
02:06Hey, thank you so much for coming to visit my dad with me. It really means a lot.
02:11Not a problem.
02:12But I know how you feel about him, and you have every right to, so I'd understand if it's too much to come in.
02:19No. I meant what I said last night.
02:21I want to put all the animosity for your dad and Ava behind me, and I just want to focus on being a good sister.
02:27Been a great sister.
02:28Okay, shall we?
02:36Dante.
02:36Hey.
02:37I wasn't expecting to see you here.
02:38Yeah, I was just heading out, actually. But it's good to see you, Molly.
02:43Rick, here's to speedy recovery, yeah?
02:45Thank you, Dante. I appreciate you stopping by.
02:49Hey, Christia, can I talk to you for a minute?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Yeah.
02:54Yeah.
02:54Yeah.
02:58Yes, well, the individual in question has proven herself to be a danger to herself and others.
03:05As such, I am petitioning the court to expedite an involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility.
03:13I will have those papers to you within the hour.
03:18Everything is set. Now all I need are those.
03:24I can't.
03:25You can't.
03:26Okay, honey.
03:28I know that this is hard for you.
03:30An elegant understatement.
03:32But after what Christina has done, this is the only way to save your daughter.
03:42I have to admit, it's a little overwhelming.
03:45Still, it's Easter Island.
03:47You totally had to go.
03:48Yeah, I know, for sure, and I have no regrets, but I sense there will be some all-nighters in my near future if I'm trying to catch up in class.
03:59Yeah, it was like that for me, too.
04:01Like, when I first transferred to PCU, everyone already had their professors and had taken the right prerequisites.
04:07They had some kind of support system.
04:10You have a huge support system.
04:12Yeah, in real life, but not at PCU.
04:15And trust me, it was hard at first, but I found my footing, so I think that you will, too.
04:19Well, thank you.
04:21I needed to hear that.
04:23Sure thing.
04:24Anyway, I have to get to class, but, uh, see you around.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:29Bye.
04:29Class.
04:40There you go, sweetheart.
04:40This is so wonderful.
04:41I can't believe you all are here.
04:43Oh, we wouldn't miss your homecoming?
04:45Oh, you guys are too much.
04:47And why does my house look cleaner than when I left?
04:50Lucky and Aiden have been working around the clock to make sure everything was perfect for you when you came home.
04:55So you've been spending time with Aiden?
04:58Oh, yeah.
04:58Cleaning?
04:58Yes, I can dust with the best of them.
05:02They've also set up a bedroom on the first floor for you, and Aiden has been cooking up a storm.
05:07Aw.
05:09I'll get it.
05:11I cannot tell you what a relief it is to finally be home.
05:14I can imagine.
05:15Here I am, reporting for duty.
05:19You're not working today, are you?
05:21No, no.
05:22Um, I just wanted to talk to you, but I can come back later if now's not a good time.
05:26I always have time for you.
05:28Sit down.
05:30Tell me what's going on.
05:32Um, it's Kai.
05:36Drew Cain told him about this cutting-edge surgery that could help him play football again.
05:41Drew did?
05:42Yeah.
05:42And don't ask me why, but I doubt that he's doing this out of the kindness of his heart.
05:47This surgery is really risky, and Kai knows my concerns, but there's no changing his mind.
05:52And you know what?
05:53Drew had to know if that he dangled this surgery in front of Kai, he would be all in.
05:57Even I know how talented Kai is.
06:00He is.
06:02Or was.
06:03I don't know, but it's just, it's unfair.
06:06If this procedure goes wrong, or if it doesn't work out, Drew loses nothing.
06:10But Kai, he's risking his health.
06:14And maybe even his life.
06:15Well, Lois, you're not an easy person to stay mad at.
06:21You really are the sweetest.
06:24And I know I put you in a difficult position.
06:26I encouraged Brooklyn not to tell Dante about the baby.
06:32And then all these years later, I also told her not to tell you who the baby's father is.
06:38And I know that was really difficult for you.
06:43Yeah, it is.
06:44I wouldn't blame you if you resented me.
06:47I did resent you.
06:49For a while.
06:50Because when I found out that Dante was the father, I put myself in his shoes.
06:54And if it were me, I'd want to know I had a child.
06:59So, Detective, am I under arrest?
07:01Not yet.
07:02I just want to ask you how our dad's doing.
07:05Dad's doing good, I think.
07:07He's not talking about pushing his surgery anymore.
07:10Good.
07:10He's got to get that done sooner than later.
07:12Yeah.
07:13I think it's been a huge relief that he was able to tell you.
07:16You know, he doesn't have to hide his health condition anymore.
07:18He never had to hide it in the first place.
07:20No.
07:20Silly.
07:21Anyway, thank you for getting him to tell me.
07:24Annie, I'll let you get back to whatever you're doing.
07:26Oh, no, it's fine.
07:27Molly's just catching up with her dad.
07:29But I am dying to know, what is a detective doing investigating a car crash?
07:36I understand why you're hesitant.
07:38But Christina severely injured two people in attempting to kill a third.
07:44We have no choice but to commit her.
07:46There's got to be another choice.
07:48There just has to be.
07:49Alexis, if there is a police investigation on this, committing her now will allow us to
07:54have an insanity defense at the ready.
07:57You're doing the right thing here.
07:59I didn't sign it.
08:01I don't intend to.
08:03Shred it.
08:03Burn it.
08:04Delete the file.
08:06Alexis, involuntary commitment is the only way to protect Christina.
08:10What good will it do to protect my daughter if I destroy her in the process?
08:17I want to be a father more than just about anything.
08:20So I really wrestled with whether to tell Dante or not.
08:24He's not just my best friend.
08:26He's my partner.
08:27And I can't imagine how difficult that must have been.
08:31But partner or not, it's Brooklyn's secret.
08:34Not mine.
08:37I also can't be angry at Brooklyn for a decision that she made a lifetime ago.
08:42So I'm going to honor her choices.
08:46And I'm not going to say anything to Dante.
08:49So I am co-producing The Nurse's Ball with Lucy.
08:53And when I agreed to pitch in, you were the first person who came to mind.
08:56So how would you feel about doing a solo act?
08:59I'm flattered.
09:01I really do want to help, but...
09:03Are you turning me down?
09:06It's just that I don't think the violin solo act would be the best fit.
09:11I mean, the last thing that I want to do is stop the show in the bad.
09:14When will this guy get off the stage kind of thing?
09:17I mean, classical music for the wrong audience puts people right to sleep.
09:23Okay, I guarantee you that's not going to happen.
09:25Not with me as your producer.
09:29I'll be with you eight hours a day.
09:31I've set timers for all your medications, and Dr. Nash wants you well hydrated.
09:35So you'll need to drink three to four liters of water each day.
09:38That's a lot of water.
09:41It's what the doctor ordered.
09:43And once you're ready, we'll schedule your PT.
09:46Great.
09:47We also need to toss out any foods that could cause inflammation.
09:50Inflammation, right.
09:51Okay, I'll look in the fridge and take care of that.
09:54That'd be great.
09:55Here's a list of the foods that need to go.
09:57Oh.
09:57You know, while Lucky's doing that, how about you and I take a look at the new first floor set up?
10:02Well, it seems like your care is going to be quite thorough.
10:08Yes, it does.
10:10How did you end up with Amy as your home nurse?
10:14I'm guessing Terry.
10:16Do you remember doing anything that would make Terry want to punish you?
10:19Stop.
10:20She's an excellent nurse.
10:22It certainly seems that way.
10:25Elizabeth is going to need a humidifier, and it needs to be refilled every two hours and cleaned at the end of the day.
10:32Okay, she's already too much.
10:36Oh, please tell me there is a cheese danish in that bag.
10:40Sorry.
10:41Just this.
10:43Double espresso.
10:44Don't tell the nurses.
10:46My daughter, you are, as always, an angel.
10:50I would love to take all the credit, but it was actually Christina's idea.
10:55Was it now?
10:56No, I was here taking a statement, and I thought I'd stop in and see how my uncle was doing.
11:01Oh, just visiting Uncle Rick?
11:04Yeah, you know, it's something my mom would want me to do, Bensonhurst thing.
11:07You know, you've got family in the hospital.
11:08You stop in and check on them, regardless of how you feel about them.
11:11Nice.
11:12No, what's nice is that you and Molly are talking again.
11:16Yeah, her dad's accident really changed everything.
11:19I realize that my sister really needs me, and I really need her.
11:26Okay, explain it to me, please.
11:28What has happened?
11:29What made you change your mind?
11:30Christina and Molly came over last night, and they were loving each other and laughing with each other.
11:36And I know that Christina needs the support and the love of her family.
11:42And if I send her away, it will shatter her trust in me.
11:46Okay.
11:47I know firsthand how hard you have worked to repair your relationship with Christina, but trust me, at some point she will understand that you are just putting her well-being first.
12:00I know my daughter, and I know that she will never forgive me if I do this, not just because I'm taking away her freedom, but I would be the one that would destroy her relationship with her sister for good.
12:15Mother was going to talk to Kai and hopefully advise him against the surgery.
12:19Well, I'm sure she will get through to him.
12:22I don't think it might have what my mom would say.
12:24I'm pretty sure that he's going to go ahead with the surgery.
12:26But there's a chance that it'll be a success, right?
12:33I would love to believe that.
12:35And I know that I can't stop Kai from taking risks just because it scares the hell out of me.
12:42But I still think he's making the wrong decision.
12:46When you told him about your concerns, what did he say?
12:49He just...
12:51He just wants me to support his decision, whatever it is.
12:54But how am I supposed to do that if I think it's the wrong decision?
12:57Well...
12:58It'll be hard, but ultimately, Trina, you have to respect his right to make this choice for himself.
13:08Can you do me a huge, huge, huge favor and help Amy?
13:12She wants to move your mom's hospital bed, and I need a break.
13:17She's so intense.
13:20Wish me luck.
13:21So, how's Operation No Inflammatory Food going?
13:28Oh, fabulous.
13:29I have no idea what I'm doing.
13:32With the fringe or Elizabeth?
13:35I am so happy you're back in Lucky's life.
13:39Me too.
13:40As much as I hate being in this cast, I know I'd be a million times worse if he wasn't here.
13:46I'm sure he'd be really happy to hear that.
13:51I'm also very happy to have you and Lulu here.
13:55It's with Cameron and Jake away at school.
13:58This would be a lot for just Aiden and me.
14:03It means the world.
14:04I mean, I have family I can rely on.
14:07And you always will.
14:08Listen, I may not say this enough, but you're a very important part of this family.
14:16It's good.
14:16I'm glad you and Molly are seeing eye to eye.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Um, but what do you and Rick possibly have to talk about?
14:24Spring training.
14:25No, serious.
14:26Sports is progress.
14:27You know?
14:28I'm thinking maybe this near-death experience will make him loosen up a little bit and let
14:32go of some of his grudges.
14:35Yeah.
14:35Uh, do you think it's really possible?
14:38I mean, like, when there's been so much bad that's happened, do you think it's really
14:43possible to move on?
14:45You know what?
14:46Here.
14:47I changed my mind.
14:48You can have it.
14:49It's probably going to upset my stomach with the meds and everything, so.
14:52Oh.
14:53Okay.
14:54So, um, what did Dante want?
14:56Uh, just wanted to check up on me, I guess.
15:01Since when?
15:02Yeah.
15:02Yeah, I know.
15:03I'm surprised myself.
15:06I, uh, I never had much to say to Dante.
15:08He didn't have anything to say to me.
15:11Figured that he carried the same opinion of me as his father.
15:15You know, it's funny.
15:16I thought that he actually came by here to investigate the, uh, the accident.
15:21It's an accident.
15:23What's there to investigate?
15:24Oh, you know, the mystery of black ice in spring.
15:29No mystery there.
15:31Just upstate New York.
15:34Yeah, you know, I'm glad he came by.
15:36I'd really like the, uh, opportunity to get to know Dante a little bit better.
15:40You should.
15:41Dante's a great guy.
15:42I mean, I, I would obviously prefer that you were never in an accident in the first place.
15:47But wouldn't it be nice if something good came out of it?
15:51Me and my nephew?
15:53Or are you and your sister?
15:56If I commit Christina, Molly will want to know why.
15:59And if she finds out that Christina tried to kill her father, they're done.
16:06And then I lose what's left of my family.
16:09Fine.
16:09But if there's a police investigation, Molly's going to find out anyway.
16:13Wouldn't it be better if she heard it from you?
16:15And if there is no investigation, I've destroyed my family for nothing.
16:21But, Molly is so level-headed.
16:24Won't she finally be relieved that Christina is getting the help she needs?
16:29Molly will know it's a legal strategy.
16:32Well, she very well might.
16:35But honestly, Alexis, I cannot think of another way to keep Christina out of prison.
16:41She cut the brakes on Rick's car.
16:42We cannot deny that.
16:43So our options, legally speaking, are limited.
16:47I know that.
16:48But committing her can't be one of them.
16:51Diane, listen.
16:53The only way to handle this situation is to keep quiet and cover it up.
17:09Thank you for meeting me here.
17:11Yeah, of course.
17:12I can never say no to the Surf Lodge.
17:14So what's up?
17:15There's something important I need to tell you.
17:18I'm going to have a pretty good idea of what it is.
17:20Trina, this surgery, your mom is against it, and she thinks it's a long shot.
17:25And she's right.
17:26You mean...
17:27But I've been the odds before.
17:28Cane football means way too much to me to just lie down and surrender.
17:31So if there's even a chance I can get back into the game, I need to take it.
17:36So what you're saying is that you're...
17:37I'm going to have the surgery.
17:41When it comes to Brooklyn, you know I can't take all the credit because she's always been special.
17:47Yeah.
17:48Yeah.
17:48But, you know, there's...
17:50This has been on my mind lately.
17:55It's been on all our minds.
17:56Yeah, I was thinking about, um, when she gave birth, right?
18:04She didn't want to hold the baby.
18:08Because she knew that if she did, she would never let it go.
18:14I mean, from day one, she's put her child's needs above her own.
18:20I'm not surprised.
18:21Not that Brooklyn doesn't have a selfish side.
18:24Oh, believe me, I know.
18:25But, I mean, not a day has gone by that she hasn't loved that child with her whole heart.
18:32You know, this couldn't have been easy on you either.
18:34After all, you have a grandkid you've never met.
18:38Yeah, yeah, but I, you know, I put faith in the nuns that they found the right adoptive parents for him.
18:44You know, and I...
18:46I choose to believe that my grandchild is healthy and loved.
18:53Gio, please.
18:56I've seen you play in how you write up in front of an audience.
18:59So, what do you say?
19:00Okay.
19:06I'll do it.
19:07Fantastic.
19:08It is fantastic.
19:10It's a nurse's ball for crying out loud.
19:12I'm so psyched that you'll be producing me.
19:15Not Lucy.
19:16Not that there's anything wrong with that.
19:18She seems great.
19:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:20There is plenty wrong with Lucy, so just stick with me, kid.
19:23I'd say I'm going to make you a star, but you already are one.
19:26We are going to knock their socks off.
19:29Elizabeth and I have been spending a lot of time together already, but this accident has really thrown us together.
19:36Are you worried you're going to get sick of each other?
19:39No.
19:39No, no, I'm going to take care of her in any way I can for as long as she'll have me.
19:45How valiant.
19:47Selfless, even.
19:47Okay, okay, hang on.
19:49Look, I know this sounds selfish, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind for the two of us.
19:55Right.
19:55I know you were supposed to be reliving your greatest hits in the city or something.
19:59Sounds a bit flippant, but sort of.
20:01Don't let me interrupt.
20:04I just came to get Elizabeth a cup of tea.
20:07Ah, well, I guess I'm a mind reader.
20:10Yeah.
20:10Here, I got it.
20:16So tell me, how are you?
20:19Oh, I'm good.
20:22And I would believe that, except I've always known when you're holding something back.
20:29I'm really not.
20:31I admire your attempt to throw me off, but I'm your mother.
20:36Okay, I'll guess.
20:38That has something to do with Elizabeth?
20:41Are you sure you're going to be okay with Amy?
20:44I know she's a lot, but she has a really good heart, and she's an amazing nurse.
20:49She made me move your bed four times, and she won't let you have your comforter?
20:54Something about dust mites?
20:56And she's going to be here eight hours a day.
20:59Every day?
21:00Okay, about that.
21:02Are you sure about this, Mom?
21:04Give me a few weeks.
21:06I'll be back on my feet.
21:07And until then, you and me, we can get through anything.
21:12That's true.
21:13We really can.
21:14Famous last words.
21:15Well, no wonder you were cramming.
21:20Honestly, Jonathan, I don't mean this in a rude way, but I cannot believe that they let you into Dalton's class.
21:24I mean, I had to beg to be a minute off of a wait list, so for you to just join after missing three weeks is like...
21:28I know.
21:29Oh, I'm very grateful they let me in, especially now.
21:33And Dalton seems incredible.
21:35You're clearly the star student.
21:37I mean, he loved your explanation on thermal connectivity.
21:40Yeah, well, he lectured on that two weeks ago, and I studied my notes right before class, so...
21:44Basically, I got really lucky.
21:46You impressed him.
21:48You certainly did.
21:52You retain me as your lawyer, but I'm your friend first.
21:58I know what a wonderful mother you are.
22:00I have witnessed firsthand the extraordinary measures that you have taken for your daughters.
22:06But what you suggested just now?
22:09That scares me.
22:11Christina committed a serious crime.
22:13You wanting to cover it up?
22:17That could have serious consequences for her and for you.
22:22We're going to have to cross that bridge when we come to that.
22:25Fine.
22:27Fine.
22:28If Christina gets arrested, I will do everything in my power to protect her and to protect you.
22:39That means so much to me.
22:42Yeah, well, I'm charging you double.
22:43Because you, uh, you didn't take my advice.
22:46Die.
22:47Mm-hmm.
22:51I know what I'm doing.
22:53I know that it seems unreasonable.
22:56But I have to do it.
22:59Thank you for helping me.
23:02But I'm going to take it from here.
23:03Professor Dalton.
23:14Ella.
23:15Uh, Emma, actually.
23:16Emma, Scorpio Drake.
23:17Forgive me.
23:18Uh, Emma.
23:19So I just want to come by and commend you on your performance in class today.
23:23It was, uh, it was really refreshing.
23:25But I wouldn't have understood your lecture two weeks ago, let alone answered any of those questions.
23:29Okay, well, that's good.
23:29That means you're listening.
23:30And, uh, not everybody does that, so.
23:33Well, you're so easy to listen to.
23:36Hi, I'm Jocelyn Jacks.
23:38Hi.
23:38Today was my first lecture with you.
23:40Oh, sorry.
23:41Um, today was your first class?
23:43Yes, uh, I've been away on a graduate trip to Easter Island, but I'm back now, and I'll
23:50be there the rest of the semester.
23:52Okay, uh, fair warning.
23:55I don't really teach the kind of class again to start late, but.
23:59Of course, I can tell.
24:00Um, but I'm very determined, and I find the subject just fascinating.
24:06Okay, well, that's something, at least.
24:09Okay.
24:10Okay, so, Emma, I'm, uh, accepting an undergraduate research assistant this summer, and I really
24:17think you should apply for it.
24:19Okay.
24:19Okay?
24:21All right, cool.
24:22Well, that's just nice to see you.
24:24You too.
24:28Guess I know what I'm going to be doing this summer.
24:31Okay, I won't tell you how to run your life.
24:34Actually, uh, a little advice wouldn't be the worst thing right now.
24:37Well, all right, in that case, I would say trust Elizabeth, because you two have always
24:43had such a powerful connection.
24:47I really want you to be right.
24:49I am.
24:50Yeah.
24:51You two have had a very special connection since you were just kids, so whatever it is
24:55that you're worried about telling her, just be brave and say it, you know?
24:59Be honest with her.
25:01You sure?
25:03Absolutely.
25:04And that's all the meddling I'll do.
25:07You're not meddling.
25:09I mean, I actually appreciate the advice, and, you know, I kind of missed it when I was
25:13away.
25:14Somehow I doubt that.
25:16No, no, I did.
25:17Really?
25:17Yeah, I could even hear your advice in my head.
25:20Didn't always follow it, but I could hear it.
25:24That's because I'm your mom.
25:26I'll always be with you.
25:34Everybody ready to play?
25:36Oh, absolutely.
25:37Although I can never remember all the two-letter words.
25:40Q-I-J-O-Z-A.
25:42Very important.
25:43Guess when who's going to win.
25:45Again.
25:46Okay, Elizabeth.
25:47Time for your nap.
25:48But we just set up the game.
25:50And you can keep it set up for later.
25:53Or?
25:54Um, actually, you know what?
25:55It's for the best, because I have a press event that I have to get to.
25:59So we'll play next time.
26:00Okay, sweetheart?
26:01Okay.
26:02Love you, Grandma.
26:03I love you too, honey.
26:05You take care of yourself.
26:08Everyone's doing that for me.
26:10All right, see you all.
26:14Please, whatever you do, don't leave us alone with that woman.
26:20I wish you would say something.
26:22Okay.
26:23Okay.
26:24I'll say that I have concerns.
26:28And I feel like you're being rushed into having a risky procedure.
26:31And no, I don't like that Drew's the one who's making it all happen.
26:35Okay, Trina, I understand how you feel about the guy.
26:37But this surgeon is legit.
26:39And I'm fully aware of the risks, okay?
26:41I'm going in with my eyes open.
26:44Okay.
26:44I guess that's all you can ask for, I guess.
26:46I have a good feeling about this.
26:48I've got to go for it.
26:50And it would mean a lot to me if you were there by my side.
26:54Has Christina ever apologized to you for saying that Irene was not your daughter?
26:58She has.
26:59She's acknowledged all her mistakes.
27:02And while we were waiting for you to regain consciousness after the accident, she was my rock.
27:07I mean, I honestly don't know what I would have done without her.
27:10Yeah.
27:11In difficult circumstances, people can rise to the occasion.
27:14She really did.
27:15What about when the crisis is over?
27:19Will she still deserve your trust?
27:21Look, Christina is a flawed person.
27:23And I'm not going to kid myself into thinking that we'll be in perfect harmony for the rest of our lives.
27:28But I really think that this time is different.
27:32How so?
27:34Because now we know what we stand to lose.
27:38Well, I know it's possible to move on.
27:41How?
27:41Because I did it.
27:43After my assignment with the WSB, I was in bad shape.
27:47Dangerously so.
27:49And, you know, there was a lot of setbacks.
27:52But eventually I was able to move on and put that part of my life behind me.
27:58I want to believe that.
28:00But, I don't know.
28:02There's parts of my life I don't think I'm ever going to be able to forget.
28:05So what, you don't think you can move on?
28:06It doesn't seem possible.
28:08Well, it is.
28:08And I see you putting in the work, which is good.
28:12And I'm proud of you.
28:20Oh, there you are.
28:21Here I am.
28:23And I can see you're on your way out.
28:25Don't let me keep you.
28:26Oh, no, no.
28:26I don't think you want that.
28:28You see, I didn't think you'd be coming.
28:29So I was just on my way to the DA's office to have a chat with Molly.
28:33No need to tighten the screws, Ava.
28:36You're getting exactly what you wanted.
28:39Meaning?
28:39Meaning that I've had the funds from Casadine Estate transferred into a Swiss bank account.
28:46From there, they'll be transferred into your account in installments.
28:50The first one should be arriving as we speak.
28:53By July, you should have every dime of your divorce settlement back.
28:57Who's that so hard?
29:00You have no idea.
29:03Our business is now concluded.
29:05Oh, about that.
29:08I'm afraid the price has gone up.
29:11My divorce settlement is a great start.
29:15But that's not all I want.
29:16You want to have this surgery, and I'll have your back.
29:24Oh, I see what you did there.
29:25You'll have my back.
29:26No, that was not pun intended.
29:28Too late.
29:30Just wait and see, and I'll be back on the field in no time.
29:33Okay, and all of this will have been worth it.
29:40Amy, I'm really not tired.
29:41Maybe not yet, but you will be.
29:44I guess I can read in bed.
29:47Oh, I think we left your book in the car, but I'll go get it.
29:53Hey, don't worry.
29:55Everything will work out fine.
29:57Yeah, famous last words.
30:05Hold up.
30:08Okay, you know what?
30:09I have to go back in there, but you can still make a break for it.
30:12Oh, I am.
30:13Look, Amy is not going to work out.
30:15She might be a great nurse, but she is a fair fit.
30:18I agree, but there may not be another option.
30:21There is.
30:23You.
30:29Gio?
30:31Did I just hear you play something from this century?
30:35Was it okay?
30:36Okay, it was amazing as usual.
30:39I'm trying out some new pieces for the nurse's ball.
30:43You're playing at the nurse's ball?
30:45That's wonderful.
30:46You're going to be great.
30:47Brooklyn's going to make sure of that.
30:48She's producing my act.
30:50That's even more wonderful.
30:52I love the fact that the two of you are teaming up.
30:55Yeah, me too.
30:57You know, my mom always used to say that you can practice on your own all you want, but the
31:01only way you grow as an artist is to work with other artists.
31:05That the right collaborators are key to becoming great.
31:10That Camilla was pretty wise.
31:15Yeah, she was.
31:17She was the best.
31:19My mom was always looking out for me.
31:22She, uh, still is, in a way.
31:28Of course she is.
31:33Hey.
31:34Thanks for sticking around.
31:35Hey, of course.
31:37You're worth the wait.
31:37You also saved me from needing to track you down.
31:42Lucy wants to know what song you'll be performing this year at the nurse's ball.
31:45Oh, I don't know if I'm up for that.
31:47What?
31:48Oh, come on, you have to.
31:50You're the best.
31:51It won't be the same without you.
31:54Okay, well, I'm afraid I'll need some kind of incentive.
31:58Okay, well, what do you have in mind?
32:01Well, I'm not saying I'll do it, but if I do, I would need a very hands-on producer.
32:06Really?
32:07How hands-on?
32:09Oh, extremely.
32:10I would need help with music, choreography, getting into wardrobe, getting out of wardrobe.
32:17Oh, in that case, sign me up.
32:19Ava, the whole point of you blackmailing me was to get your divorce settlement back, which you got back.
32:30So now what has changed?
32:33Well, the divorce settlement money was already mine.
32:35I mean, you're just giving me back what was stolen from me in the first place, right?
32:40And what do you feel entitled to now?
32:43Compensation.
32:45You have to pay for your daughter's attempt on my life.
32:48And for the pain and suffering that Rick is enduring as we speak.
32:50And how is my paying you compensating, Rick?
32:55What I do with my money is my business.
32:57You just keep those payments coming, okay?
33:00Oh, well, the first payment has been deposited into my account just now.
33:10In that case, I'll be going.
33:12Just one more thing.
33:13What now?
33:17Keep a leash on that daughter of yours.
33:20Or the price for my silence might just skyrocket.
33:29I want to believe that I can move on.
33:31I've made some pretty terrible choices in my life.
33:35And I was really trapped by rage and hate.
33:39Yeah, but now you can see it, right?
33:42And you can stop it.
33:44Or, you know, you can try.
33:46You're right.
33:47I have to try.
33:48I have to because I'm not going to let all of the things that went wrong in my life hold me back.
33:55Listen, I know what it's like to be estranged from a sibling.
34:01You ever wish things could be different between you and Uncle Sonny?
34:05Well, things were different.
34:08Briefly.
34:09Once by a time.
34:10Mom just kept telling us that we were going to need each other someday.
34:16Especially with, um, Sam gone.
34:20And we both put up a hell of a fight.
34:23But mom wouldn't let it go.
34:26And she was right.
34:28And now I have my sister back.
34:30I'm glad Alexis could give that to you.
34:43Me too.
34:43Professor Dalton only invited you to apply, right?
34:50So you're still competing against other applicants?
34:54Yeah, of course.
34:55I mean, Dalton is a world-renowned physicist doing groundbreaking research.
34:59So pretty much everyone wants that assistantship.
35:03He did single me out, though.
35:06Yes.
35:06That is good news.
35:09Right.
35:10So now I just need to spend the rest of the semester proving why I'm the best person for the job.
35:15Can't wait to work with him.
35:18See you around, Joss.
35:19See you around, Joss.
