00:00Cody, what happened?
00:06Do these kicks in the mugs.
00:07It's not as far as Putin's rookie mistake.
00:10Okay, well, have a seat, and I'll find a doctor to see you right away.
00:16Thanks for coming by.
00:18This is a big help.
00:19Of course.
00:20When you told me that you wanted to interview me for the Landview banner, I was intrigued.
00:24I assume you need a medical expert for something?
00:27Actually, no.
00:28This is a little more personal.
00:30I'd like to know how it feels to be adopted.
00:34So Dante just texted here to stop off to see Christina.
00:37Him and Rocco will be a little bit late.
00:40It's cool.
00:41Just hang out until they get here.
00:44You don't have to stay.
00:46I wasn't planning on leaving.
00:49For real?
00:50Yeah.
00:52Cool.
00:53It's all right.
00:56Let's take some swings.
00:57Okay.
01:00Please have a seat, and thank you for coming back in.
01:05Of course.
01:05All right, let's cut right to the chase.
01:10Shall we?
01:11We extended you the offer, because we want you here.
01:15But before we even consider moving forward with you working at this firm, there's one thing we have to get abundantly clear.
01:22I didn't figure you'd be taking me for a spin with my walker until I was much older.
01:28Thank you, Hy, for being the highlight of my day, and for helping me keep my gown closed.
01:33Well, Ladder's a public service.
01:36The former.
01:38What, don't you get many visitors?
01:39If you haven't noticed, I'm not the most popular guy in town.
01:43So far, my only regular visitors have been you and Ava.
01:48That's what I was afraid of.
01:52Thank you for coming.
01:53Yeah, for sure.
01:54I was on my way to get Rocco.
01:56Um, how are you doing?
02:00Uh, I'm okay.
02:02Donna and I made pancakes this morning, which was a nice distraction.
02:06I don't mind saying for myself that they were pretty good, actually.
02:09Really?
02:10Nice.
02:11Yeah.
02:12It was good for her and for me, but I'm just, you know, I'm crawling out of my skin a little bit, if you couldn't tell.
02:20Yeah, I can, a little bit.
02:23But trust me, I'm worried about Dad, too.
02:26Look, we're all here.
02:31You ready to do this thing?
02:33Oh!
02:56Well, I appreciate that you're able to stay here with Donna.
03:08Carly and Sonny are lucky you were able to do it.
03:11Yeah.
03:12When Carly said she was going to L.A. with Dad, I'm just so grateful I could help out in some small way.
03:18It's not a small thing you're doing.
03:21It's going to make Dad feel good to know that Donna's here and safe with you.
03:26Yeah.
03:27I'm grateful for you, too.
03:29For what?
03:29You got Dad to tell me about his health issues.
03:33I wouldn't have known about that or the surgery if you hadn't put your foot down and made him tell me.
03:37We're family.
03:39Dad needs his family, especially now.
03:41How did you get up here before visiting hours?
03:44I don't have my way.
03:45What are you doing, Sonny?
03:48I'm better now that you're here.
03:49Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
03:51You seem to have already been in pretty good hands.
03:55I'm so glad you came with him.
03:57I really am.
03:58To know that you've got his back is the best news I've heard.
04:01Always.
04:02Bricks connected me with a cardiologist and set me up in L.A.
04:07and kept everything.
04:09The screen.
04:10Anything for you, my man.
04:12You know I got you.
04:14Wow, that is a great swing you got.
04:17Thanks.
04:18My mom taught me.
04:20Sounds about right.
04:22I don't play much, though, you know.
04:24Baseball's more of a Rocco sport.
04:26Yeah.
04:26But, you know, I like it.
04:27It's fun.
04:30So, how are you feeling?
04:32With Rocco, I'm living with Lulu half the time.
04:34Happy for him.
04:38You know, he missed his mom a long time.
04:40Yeah, you know, I know.
04:41But I know you're going to miss her.
04:43Yeah.
04:44It's already weird enough with Scout being gone.
04:48You know, when the three of us moved in with the Quartermains,
04:50we were supposed to stick together.
04:53Like mom wanted.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Like mom wanted.
04:59But she's gone.
05:00So, I guess it doesn't matter.
05:03You're doing great, dad.
05:05Huh.
05:06I know it might not feel like it,
05:08but you've come my own way since the night of your accident.
05:11I was so terrified when I got that call.
05:15I sat here and I just prayed that you would make it through surgery.
05:19And now look at you.
05:20Eh, I'm tougher than people think.
05:22I think people know you're tough.
05:25I was not that night.
05:26I would have completely lost it if it weren't for mom, Christina, Cody.
05:32Cody?
05:33Wait, isn't he the horse guy?
05:35Yeah.
05:37He's actually shown up for me a couple of times.
05:40He's turned out to be a really good friend.
05:43Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
05:45Yeah.
05:45Friends are hard to come by.
05:47Especially friends who can convince you and mom to make a truce.
05:51Yes, I'm very grateful to him for that.
05:54I'm glad you've had support.
05:57Me too.
05:59But I'm concerned about your support system.
06:04It worries me that Ava is the person showing up for you.
06:10I don't like slip-ups.
06:13And introducing you to one of my most valuable clients
06:17without being aware of your controversial parentage
06:20was a slip-up.
06:22Now, were you obligated to tell me that Jen Sidwell is your father?
06:26No.
06:27Is it pertinent?
06:29Absolutely.
06:31But it's not disqualifying.
06:35Marco, you're an excellent attorney.
06:37And based on your references, you're a very talented litigator.
06:40Given my family background,
06:43I make a point of not holding someone's lineage against them.
06:47I appreciate that.
06:48And while we appreciate the billable hours
06:52that you'll be bringing into our firm via your client list,
06:56we're going to need some assurances.
06:59Those assurances being that my father's business
07:02won't pose a conflict of interest
07:04in your work with Jason Morgan and Sonny Carinthos.
07:07That's the best I can do at the moment.
07:13I thought Dr. Jones was here,
07:15but there was a schedule change.
07:17I'll try to get you seen,
07:18but as soon as someone's free,
07:20I'll let them know, okay?
07:22Thank you, Felicia.
07:24You heard her open your shirt.
07:25Oh, come on, Cody.
07:27We got to get the swelling down.
07:29We are doing this.
07:30Hey, hey, aren't you a married woman?
07:32I certainly am.
07:33Have you seen my husband?
07:34Sure point.
07:35All right, let's go, you're a baby.
07:38Thanks.
07:39But you can't.
07:40Yeah, yeah, I got it.
07:43I feel like my parents handle things the right way.
07:47They never hid the fact that I was adopted,
07:49so I always knew that I was chosen and loved.
07:55And I don't feel that they loved me any differently
07:59than my sister, BJ, who is my dad's biological child.
08:03And my mom, she just loved us both so much.
08:09Did your own experience with being adopted
08:11make you more receptive to becoming an adoptive parent yourself?
08:15I don't know if it was a conscious choice,
08:18but I do know I had no hesitations about it.
08:21And did the aftermath with your experience with Wiley change
08:26how you feel about adoption?
08:28Not at all.
08:30I still think it is the greatest gift that you can give or receive.
08:36That might be the title of my story.
08:39So, you've been an adoptive parent,
08:43and you've been adopted.
08:44What was it like when your biological father
08:48came into your life as an adult?
08:54I know that you miss your mom.
08:56Okay, and you feel like
08:57there's probably not anybody you can talk to about it,
09:00but, you know, Scout, she's young.
09:04You're not seeing her as much as you'd like to.
09:06No, not really.
09:08Scout knows I'm her brother.
09:11Always be there for her.
09:12Yeah, and that's important for her to know,
09:14and that's all you can do.
09:16And Rocco, you guys are close,
09:18but he just got his mom back.
09:20That's got to be hard.
09:21I'm happy about that.
09:23And then he got his sister, Charlie, back, too.
09:25I know you are.
09:26It's okay to have these feelings.
09:29It just makes sense that these feelings
09:30could get mixed up in you losing your mom.
09:32It's okay.
09:32I just want you to know
09:35that you can talk to me
09:36about however you're feeling
09:37about missing your mom.
09:41Because I miss her, too.
09:43You know, you and I are, uh,
09:46we're very similar.
09:48We stay up in our heads too much.
09:50We don't talk about things.
09:53But your mom and I did.
09:56Really?
09:57Yeah.
09:57I mean, nobody can give me
09:58to talk like your mom.
10:01And I'm telling you, it helps.
10:04Okay?
10:04So, I'm here for anything
10:07and everything that you want to say.
10:12Whatever you need, I'm here.
10:16Tony Jones is my dad,
10:19and he always will be,
10:20but Julian is part of the reason
10:24I even exist.
10:26So, despite not being raised by him
10:28and, um, his many, many flaws,
10:33I found that I could make room
10:36in my heart for him.
10:39Oh, I'm sorry.
10:41Ed, is my talking about Julian
10:43awkward or just plain terrible for you?
10:45Neither.
10:47I promise.
10:48I asked you a question,
10:49and I really appreciate
10:51the honest answer.
10:52So, you said that Julian
10:56was a flawed man.
10:59Knowing what you know now,
11:01if you could choose,
11:04would you still have him
11:06reenter your life,
11:07or do you think you would have been
11:08better off never knowing him at all?
11:11Building a relationship
11:12with Julian was
11:14a pretty rocky road.
11:17with a lot of highs
11:19and lows.
11:22He had so many demons,
11:24and
11:24he was fighting them
11:26until the day he died.
11:28But I know he loved me,
11:31and I'm grateful for that
11:32and for him.
11:34So, yes.
11:39I'm glad
11:40my biological father
11:41came back into my life.
11:45I know you're annoyed with me
11:46for forcing you
11:47to seek medical attention,
11:48but I'm doing it
11:49for your own good.
11:50I'm not annoyed with you.
11:51I thought you were annoyed with me.
11:53Why would I be annoyed with you?
11:55Because I ran my mouth to Lulu
11:57about your pregnancy,
11:58and
11:59now you have to
12:01stay around all morning
12:02in the hospital lounge with me?
12:04Look,
12:04when you
12:05told me
12:06what happened,
12:07I told you
12:07that I wasn't mad
12:08or annoyed.
12:10And I meant it.
12:11I am mad
12:13and annoyed
12:13at Lulu
12:14for manipulating you
12:16for digging around
12:17in something
12:17that's none of her business.
12:20I'm still sorry.
12:22Well, don't be.
12:23You were there for me
12:24when I counted, Cody.
12:26I was really scared
12:26that summer
12:27that if you hadn't given me
12:29your last 50 bucks
12:30and driven me
12:30to the bus station,
12:31I don't know
12:31what I would have done.
12:34Just glad I could be there
12:35to help.
12:36Well, I'm here now,
12:37and I'm glad to help.
12:41You know,
12:41I don't play
12:42when it comes to sunny sounds.
12:44Dr. Abbott's
12:44one of the best
12:45cardiologists in the country.
12:47Rick's been handling
12:47everything because...
12:49Because your enemies
12:50can't know
12:50that you're vulnerable.
12:51I know this.
12:52This is not my first rodeo.
12:53No, I know,
12:54but whoever tried to kill me
12:55and Eric Michael
12:56is still out there.
12:57You know,
12:58I'm going to find out
12:58who gave the order
12:59to do it, too.
13:00But,
13:01in the meantime,
13:02I've got a security team
13:03in place
13:04just in case somebody
13:05has sunny under surveillance.
13:07Well, that's good to know.
13:08You're right.
13:09I'm going to go
13:10check in with them now.
13:11Okay.
13:11So I'm going to get
13:11on out of here, right?
13:13Oh, Carly,
13:14you're in charge.
13:17I'm glad
13:17someone else knows this.
13:19Sunny,
13:20behave yourself.
13:21Take care, right?
13:22And by the way,
13:24try and do
13:24what the lady says.
13:29You know,
13:30I always kind of thought
13:30Dad would just
13:31be around forever.
13:34And it's not until
13:35someone goes under the knife
13:37like he is
13:38where you start
13:38to maybe realize
13:39you're taking the people
13:41you love for granted
13:42and you got to tell
13:43the people you care about
13:44how much
13:45they mean to you.
13:46Yeah.
13:47I gotta get better
13:48at that.
13:50You know,
13:50when I bottomed out
13:51last year,
13:52Dad was
13:52just there for me.
13:55He was like my anchor.
13:57He didn't judge me.
13:58He just
13:58threw me a lifeline
13:59and
14:00loved me.
14:02Yeah.
14:03I didn't know
14:03exactly what you're
14:04talking about.
14:05It was
14:05the same
14:07losing Sam.
14:09Sam and Dad
14:11used to always say
14:12we are not
14:14our mistakes.
14:15We can do bad things
14:16but we're still
14:17worthy of love.
14:19I think that's true.
14:22And
14:22you are
14:23super lovable.
14:26Dante!
14:27Hey!
14:28What's going on?
14:30Are you going
14:31to the park?
14:32Oh!
14:33I would love
14:34to go to the park
14:34with you
14:35but I gotta go
14:35pick up Rocco.
14:36But you know what?
14:37Your big sis
14:38is still here
14:39and she's a blast.
14:41That's true.
14:42Christina is the best.
14:43She certainly
14:44is the best.
14:49I assure you
14:50I can keep my work
14:51with SRE
14:52worldwide siloed
14:53and I have no problem
14:55representing
14:55Sonny and Jason.
14:57You
14:58representing
14:59Jason Morgan
15:00and Sonny
15:01Corinthos
15:02is highly unlikely.
15:04Should a situation
15:05arise where
15:06there is a conflict
15:08of interest
15:08I will recuse
15:09myself.
15:10Good.
15:11It really is just
15:11a matter of
15:12whether or not
15:12you want me here.
15:17Welcome aboard
15:18Marco.
15:21All right
15:22I have a meeting
15:23with Christina
15:23so I'm
15:24gonna let Diane
15:25take it from here.
15:26We'll talk later.
15:27Yeah?
15:28Of course.
15:30Let's get
15:31right to it.
15:32These are all
15:34still in the
15:35preliminary stages.
15:40Are you sure
15:41you want me
15:41working on this?
15:51Look Molly
15:52I know you
15:52don't have any
15:53news for Ava
15:54but she is a client
15:55and yes
15:56she's a friend.
15:58Okay
15:59you're not talking
15:59to your ten-year-old
16:00daughter here.
16:01Dad I know
16:01she's more than a friend.
16:02All right
16:03we haven't
16:03understand it.
16:04And yes
16:05Ava and I
16:07understand each other.
16:08Ugh
16:08that's what scares me.
16:10I mean Ava
16:10appeals to the worst
16:13parts of you.
16:13That is not fair.
16:15Oh when you think
16:16Ava's fair?
16:16Because I've never
16:17seen it.
16:19Ava may not be
16:20directly responsible
16:22for Irene's death
16:23but she is responsible
16:25for a lot of bad.
16:27and I want better
16:29than that for you.
16:31I want you
16:32to be
16:33better than that.
16:34So what are you
16:35saying?
16:35That if
16:36if Ava's in my life
16:38then you're not
16:38going to be?
16:39No.
16:40I'm not giving you
16:41an ultimatum.
16:42I've learned
16:43that that doesn't work.
16:45I know you'll make
16:46your own choices.
16:47I just
16:47I want you to think
16:50long and hard
16:51about whether
16:51you really want
16:52to be involved
16:53with Ava
16:53before she gets you
16:55wrapped up in something
16:56that you'll regret.
16:59These were
17:00obviously misplaced.
17:02This is a
17:03private matter
17:03not for your eyes
17:04and I'm going
17:05to assume
17:06complete discretion
17:07with regard to these.
17:10Understood.
17:11I'll just
17:11go to my office
17:12and work on
17:13these prelims.
17:13Okay.
17:26Those are some
17:38beautiful colors,
17:39Donna.
17:39Thanks.
17:40May I have
17:41a glass of water?
17:43Yes, you may.
17:44It's a nice
17:44It's a way of you to ask.
18:06Hey, sweetheart.
18:08Hi, Daddy.
18:09Hey.
18:11Where's your sister?
18:12Oh, uh, here.
18:15I'm here.
18:16Donna, you really shouldn't take those phones without asking.
18:18I wanted to call Daddy.
18:20Where are you and what are you wearing?
18:24I'm at the hospital getting a checkup.
18:27Mommy's here with me.
18:29Yeah, hi.
18:30Hey, baby, how are you?
18:32Are you going to get a shot, Daddy?
18:34I hope not.
18:36You know what, cutie, let's let Daddy focus on his checkup, okay?
18:42We have everything under control here, despite what it may look like.
18:45I, uh, love my girls so much.
18:49We love you, too.
18:50Thank you, Christina.
18:52Donna, you'd be good.
18:53I love you.
18:54Love you.
18:54For a girl who's too young to have a cell phone, she sure knows how to use one.
19:02You think she was scared when I told her I was having a checkup?
19:05I think she's more afraid that you're going to get a shot.
19:08Well, who's not afraid of a shot?
19:11Christina looked terrified, but she was trying to act like she wasn't terrified in front of Donna.
19:16How am I doing?
19:19You're doing great.
19:20Always.
19:23Mr. Carithos, how are you doing this morning?
19:26Uh, ready to go.
19:28This is my, uh, friend, Carly.
19:31Friend who happens to be his ex-wife.
19:34Hi, nice to meet you.
19:35Likewise.
19:36Whatever you say to me, you can say to her.
19:39I understand.
19:39Let's hear it, Doc.
19:45Look who I found.
19:47Cody's been waiting a while.
19:49He was kicked by a horse.
19:50Oh, you must be hurting pretty good.
19:52Uh, come with me.
19:53Can you walk okay?
19:54Yeah, yeah, peace, okay.
19:58Thanks for waiting with me.
19:59No problem.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:07Say, Mom.
20:09Hi, Junior.
20:09Here we go.
20:11Fantastic.
20:12Actually, Lucas really opened up about how it feels to be adopted.
20:17Good for him.
20:20Kind of felt like Danny Scout and I adopted each other, and then I moved in with Sam.
20:26Yeah.
20:28I'll bet.
20:30What was that like for you?
20:33Suddenly blending families, having new siblings, so to speak?
20:36It was a little weird at first.
20:40It was mostly about figuring out bathroom schedules and what we like to eat and stuff like that.
20:46It didn't take it very long to work it all out.
20:49You know, when your dad and I agreed to have you live part-time with me in Charlotte, I thought it was important that we get time together, especially since we missed out on so much.
21:02But I, I know you've got a very real family that loves you, with your dad and Danny and Scout.
21:12But when I'm here with you, I'm exactly where I want to be.
21:14I know you had that with Sam, too.
21:16So if you ever feel like you just wanted...
21:18Mom, I spent years praying for this.
21:23Being able to walk down the stairs and see you and talk to you, I love my family.
21:30All of them.
21:32Dad, Danny, Scout, Charlotte.
21:35Me repairing leaflets in the heart that were previously damaged by shrapnel from your gunshot wound in 2000.
21:59It sounds scary anytime someone talks about the heart, but Mr. Corinthos, you've already survived a great deal, you're in good health, and you're an excellent candidate for this procedure.
22:12He's a fighter, and he's incredibly stubborn.
22:15That'll help, too.
22:23Christina, are you mad at me?
22:28No.
22:30Of course, I'm not mad at you.
22:31I could never be mad at you.
22:33But, you know, you really shouldn't take people's phones without asking, okay?
22:37I won't.
22:39Okay.
22:40Is Daddy going to be okay?
22:42Yeah.
22:43Yeah, Daddy's going to be just fine.
22:45He's going to be back before you know it.
22:48But I have an idea of something that he might really like.
22:52What?
22:55How about we make him a get-well card?
22:58Yes.
22:59Yeah?
22:59I'll use all my favorite colors.
23:02Okay.
23:03I cannot buy my glitter, though.
23:05Oh, that's all right.
23:06I have a feeling it's going to be just perfect without glitter.
23:10I'm so glad you're here with me, Chrissy.
23:16I'm so glad I'm here with you, too.
23:18Oh, good.
23:22You're conscious.
23:24Hello, Molly.
23:25How are you?
23:26Diane, I'm well.
23:27What brings you by?
23:28I'm assuming it's not a social call.
23:30Social call, no.
23:33I'm filing a request with Family Court because Sonny would like to take Avery on a trip to
23:38the island this summer.
23:40You and Ava are being given ample notice, but I want to come by and make sure you saw the
23:44hard copy.
23:44So, there are no inconvenience delays.
23:52I'm so sorry, Molly.
23:54I guess it's just going to be one of those days.
23:56That's all right.
23:59Rough night, Diane?
24:00Or too many morning mimosas?
24:02Thank you so much.
24:05It's already been one of those mornings.
24:10Oh, yes, well, we've all had those days.
24:15Um, all right, Dad, well, good job out there.
24:20I think you've earned your rest.
24:22Oh.
24:22So, I'll leave you to it.
24:23Okay, thanks very much, sweetheart.
24:25I appreciate all your help.
24:26I just have to have a little talk with Diane.
24:28Good to see you, Diane.
24:29You, too.
24:30Bye, Dad.
24:30Bye.
24:30How do you do?
24:36Now, about this trip out of the country with my clients,
24:40daughter.
24:43See you later, Mom.
24:44Oh, have fun.
24:45Love you.
24:46Love you, too.
24:47See you in the car, Dad.
24:47Yeah, I'll be right there.
24:50Sorry, we're racing out of here.
24:52We're going to the batting cages.
24:53I'm running late.
24:55Oh, that's no problem.
24:56It just gives me more time to focus on my adoption piece.
24:59How's it going?
25:00So far, so good.
25:02I think there's a chance it might reach a lot of people
25:05and hopefully change some lives.
25:10Oh, hey, Lucas.
25:12Sorry to bother you.
25:13How's Cody doing?
25:14He's in radiology.
25:16He's getting a couple x-rays just to be on the safe side,
25:18but he should be fine.
25:20We'll wrap him up and he'll be sore for a bit.
25:23Okay.
25:25I'm really glad we got to see you.
25:27Felicia said that there was a change in the schedule or something.
25:29Oh, yeah.
25:31I had to step out for a minute to do a quick interview,
25:34but thankfully, they were able to find somebody to cover me for an hour or so.
25:38An interview?
25:39Tell me more.
25:41Were they asking about what it's like bringing your amazing surgical skills
25:44from Boston to Fort Charles?
25:45Or what it's like to be a sexy single doctor?
25:48You know, sadly, no one has asked me that.
25:51No, Lulu wanted to interview me for a piece she's doing for the Landview Banner.
25:58Oh, I didn't realize she was working at the Banner.
26:00Yeah, I think it's the first piece she's doing for her newest freelancing gig.
26:04Good for her.
26:05Can you tell me what the piece is about?
26:07Yeah.
26:08Adoption.
26:09Apparently, she pitched the subject and the editor gave her the green light.
26:14She's really excited about it.
26:16Seems like she's doing a very deep dive.
26:21Either I'm getting slower or that pitching machine is getting faster.
26:30You remember when you first came back?
26:34Mom didn't really want me hanging around with you.
26:37Yeah, she was worried about you.
26:40She probably was.
26:42Mm-hmm.
26:43But I think she was more worried that you wouldn't stick around.
26:48She changed her mind.
26:50And obviously, I think she finally figured out that you could take care of me.
26:55And I will.
26:57Always.
26:59I mean, it's cool that I have all these people around me that care for me, but...
27:04I'm really glad I've got you.
27:08You know, I hope Mom knows that you've always been there for me.
27:14I haven't felt so alone.
27:16I bet she does.
27:17I have to...
27:18Cody.
27:32Huh?
27:32What are you doing here?
27:36I got kicked by a horse.
27:38What?
27:39The same horse you rescued me on?
27:41It's not his fault.
27:43No, I knew it.
27:44You could see he was a kicker in his eyes.
27:46No. No, it was a natural reaction to my dropping a pail behind him and him getting startled.
27:52So as long as you don't do that, you're fine.
27:55You're in the hospital and you're defending the horse?
27:58He's a good horse. He would do the same for me.
28:02I'm just here waiting for my x-ray results right now.
28:05Alone?
28:06Yeah. Yeah, Brooklyn was here, but she disappeared.
28:13Why are you here?
28:14I was just visiting my dad.
28:16Ah.
28:18Gonna head back to the office, but...
28:20Yeah, I guess I have some work I could do here.
28:24You're gonna wait with me?
28:25You shouldn't have to wait alone.
28:28You're fine.
28:29But if you get bored and you can't resist my sparkling personality...
28:32I'll be fine. Just button your shirt.
28:35Yeah? You can't resist the thunder, huh?
28:38How many pain meds are you on?
28:40I was thinking it was too little, but now I'm starting to think it might be too many.
28:43Yeah.
28:44Just watch the ice pack, Mr. Thunder.
28:48Yeah.
28:48Oh, Richard.
28:53Obviously, you're bored, and we all know how much you enjoy squabbling, but I don't.
29:01So if you want to contest Sonny's trip with Avery, then file a response with the family court.
29:07Until then, happy healing.
29:10What's with the tone?
29:13Come on.
29:14I thought you were such a proponent of me and Alexis calling a truce.
29:18I was, for Molly's sake.
29:21But this, this whole interaction has to do with Ava, and anything having to do with Ava is inordinately exhausted.
29:29I think you're being overly dramatic.
29:32Well, I don't.
29:33Look, while you may enjoy handling your financially strapped clients' interests pro bono, I get no pleasure whatsoever from the never-ending merry-go-round.
29:44And the day that Avery turns 18 and is finally an adult, no one on this planet will be more excited than I.
29:52Just relax.
29:54It's a vacation request.
29:55I know.
29:57So handle your clients' interests through the proper channels.
30:01And for God's sakes, truce or not, give Alexis a break.
30:07Why would Alexis need a break?
30:11Thank you for coming, Mom.
30:13Why are we meeting in Carly's kitchen?
30:17We're making a get-well card for Daddy.
30:20Daddy, he's at the doctor's, so Christina's staying with me.
30:24Oh, aren't you lucky.
30:25Christina's always so much fun.
30:27I know.
30:29I'm gonna get my markers that smell like fruit.
30:31Okay, that's a good idea.
30:32That's exactly what that needs.
30:38So, you came over here because Sonny is at the doctor's?
30:44Yes.
30:45Yeah, my dad is in L.A.
30:46I'm seeing a doctor, and Carly went with him, so I'm helping out, watching Donna.
30:53All I want to know is if you're okay.
30:57Honestly, I was scared out of my mind, but Donna was so sweet.
31:03She said, Chrissy, I'm so glad you're here.
31:07And it made me realize I'm glad I'm here, too, because I came so close to not being here.
31:16I was just thinking about that gunshot that almost killed you.
31:2325 years ago, and I can remember it like it was yesterday.
31:28You know, even if you want to forget it, things like that get seared in your memory.
31:33You flatlined on the operating table.
31:37We lost you.
31:38You wouldn't let me go.
31:42I wouldn't let the doctors give up on you.
31:45I made them keep fighting because I knew you were fighting.
31:49I'm telling you right now, do not give up.
31:53Not for anything.
31:56I don't care if you see the pearly gates and St. Peter's is standing there holding a 1927 McAllen and waving you in.
32:03You turn around and you come back.
32:07Do you hear me?
32:08You make it through this.
32:12I will.
32:14But thanks.
32:18Excuse me, Mr. Granthos.
32:20I need to prep you for the OR.
32:22I'm sorry, miss.
32:23I need you to step outside.
32:24Okay.
32:28Isn't that what I said?
32:31I never doubted it.
32:32I'm sorry, I got it.
32:58I'm sorry.
32:59I've got it.
33:02I'd love some company.
33:13I'd love some company.
33:19You ready for a great nap?
33:23Okay, then.
33:28Think of good, positive things.
33:32Count backwards from time for me.
33:36Ten.
33:37Nine.
33:39Eight.
33:41Seven.
33:44Six.
33:47Five.
33:49Can we make pancakes?
33:51Yeah, we can if you're serious, because I need your help.
33:54Yeah, those chocolate chips are not going to make it in on their own.
33:58You can count on me.
34:00Ted, you have always been the only one that I could really turn to.
34:04But I took an oath to uphold a law, and I'm going to keep that oath.
34:10I don't expect anything less.
34:11And if it gets worse, and you're forced to arrest me one day, I'm always going to love you.
34:22I'm not going to love you any less, you understand me?
34:26You did the right thing.
34:27You were looking out for your family.
34:29Tough spot.
34:30You handled it like a champ.
34:34Thanks, Grandma.
34:36You got it.
34:38Did Grandpa Mike take you shopping the new a little?
34:41Yeah, he did.
34:43All the time.
34:44Can I see his picture?
34:47Yeah.
34:47Okay.
34:55Do you miss him?
34:57Every day.
34:59Every single day.
35:03Okay, he's ready.
35:08It's official.
35:09They've hired me at Miller & Davis.
35:12Congratulations.
35:12I guess that means I owe you dinner.
35:16And I'm very happy to collect.
35:20You stuck around.
35:21Yeah, didn't want to miss it.
35:23How's the new house, Rocco?
35:24It's cool.
35:25You guys in Scotch are trying to check it out.
35:27Yeah, we'll make it happen.
35:28Go hit.
35:32I tried to hit.
35:34Look at these goofballs.
35:35What's that look like?
35:38I know you already know this, but Rocco means a lot to Danny.
35:41Yeah.
35:43Yeah, Sam.
35:44Danny for Rocco.
35:45They're brothers, man.
35:46We gotta make sure they don't lose that connection.
35:47Yeah, we're gonna make it happen.
35:51Sam would love seeing us.
35:54Yeah, she would.
36:11What the hell are you trying to pull, Lulu?
36:23Is there a particular reason why I should take it easy on Alexis?
36:29Well, aside from common decency, no.
36:32Well, look, your truce with Alexis, or lack thereof, is absolutely none of my business.
36:39I'm going to file this petition.
36:44And you can do as you will.
36:47Nice try, Diane.
36:59Alexis told you the truth.
37:00I have been such a mess since the baby died.
37:05And then we lost Sam, and that was hell.
37:08And I have been putting you through hell since I was like 10.
37:13But I just, I'm so grateful for you, Mom.
37:18And more than that, I'm grateful for my life.
37:21I see now how much good I have waiting for me.
37:27Well, what I want for you is to be able to let the past go.
37:32And know that there is good waiting for you.
37:36So you need to put yourself in a position to receive it.
37:51You really should get out more.
37:56I happen to find doing paperwork very comforting.
38:00Sometimes I'll just go to a restaurant, order a glass of wine, and work for hours.
38:05Wow.
38:06You're living on the edge.
38:08Joke, but these legal documents, this is a world I understand.
38:13Where I am in control, unlike you and your devil horse.
38:21Oh, my God.
38:31On the next General Hospital.
38:33There's someone right here.
38:34Dr. Robinson, that's where you come in.
38:37I need to make a change to our payment schedule.
38:39I'm Willa Curtis.
38:40I'm here to see my husband.
38:41I need to do something about this right now.
38:44What the hell is this?
38:45I'm sorry, you okay?
