00:00Absolutely not.
00:01No.
00:02I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
00:04I won't do it.
00:06You're going to have to find somebody else.
00:08The answer is no.
00:10Welcome to the 2025 Nurses Ball.
00:14This is the night when all of Port Charles
00:16comes together to raise money and awareness
00:18for a very important cause, HIV and AIDS research.
00:23Throughout the night, you will be seeing
00:26show-stopping performances from the staff
00:29at General Hospital, as well as many of the town's
00:33most prominent citizens.
00:34But first, we are live from the red carpet.
00:37I am your host, Nina Reeves.
00:39And this is my co-host, Congressman Drew.
00:43Oh, I'm sorry.
00:45Is it Kane or Quartermain these days?
00:48Oh, it's definitely Quartermain.
00:51Oh, where is everybody?
00:53We're going to be late.
00:54My backup singers need rehearsal.
00:56Mother, we have plenty of time before the show starts.
00:59You're singing lead tonight, Tracy.
01:02Shouldn't you be on vocal rests?
01:04One of us should.
01:05Well, you know, you're being a little bit extra.
01:09If I didn't know better, I'd think you were nervous.
01:11I am nervous.
01:13About Lucy.
01:15She is a walking, standing, singing disaster.
01:19And I do not want her underwear ruining my act.
01:22Why are you going to be nervous now?
01:25Tracy, disaster is going to disaster.
01:28At this point, you're basically fate's passenger.
01:33How is that remotely helpful?
01:35Olivia does have a point.
01:36Because as we all know, something always
01:39happens at the nurses' ball.
01:45Well, well.
01:47Lulu, Spencer, you sure did clean up nicely.
01:51You don't have to sound so surprised.
01:53Aren't you going to the nurses' ball?
01:55Yeah, just had to return some tools to the garage.
01:57I'm going to head back to my room, get dressed.
02:00What are you doing here?
02:01I'm riding over with Dante.
02:03Oh, Dante?
02:04Are you going to tell him your theory about Geo
02:08being his and Brooklyn's son?
02:11Not yet.
02:13I don't have definitive proof, but I know how to get it.
02:16And if I'm right, and Geo is Dante's son,
02:21he deserves to know.
02:31What now?
02:32I come bearing gifts.
02:38That is all the paperwork you're going
02:40to need to be able to cover up your embezzlement
02:42of the Cassadin Trust.
02:43It'll make your investments look completely legit.
02:47Really?
02:49You better rest, will you?
02:51Tonight's the nurses' ball.
02:53Finally.
02:53Sorry, Granny.
02:54I couldn't find my shoes.
02:56That was a real mystery, but it took two ace
02:58detectives to track them down.
02:59That's great.
03:00You'll have to introduce me to them.
03:01Can we get a move on?
03:02Yeah, let's hit the road, yeah?
03:04Looks like I got here just in time.
03:10What do you mean?
03:11You're meeting Congressman Cain.
03:13You look as handsome as ever.
03:16But Nina, that gown is absolutely stunning.
03:20Well, thank you, Leslie.
03:21It's vintage cartoon look.
03:22I could tell.
03:23Of course you could.
03:24And I have to say, you're looking
03:26rather glamorous yourself.
03:29What do you think of all the stunning fashion
03:30we're seeing here tonight?
03:31I think it is amazing.
03:33I've always said that fashion is art.
03:35And from what I can see tonight, this nurses' ball
03:38is like an amazing museum of couture.
03:42Oh, they're about to count us back.
03:44Oh, duty calls, Leslie.
03:46Thank you, so nice to see you both.
03:49You too, Leslie.
03:52And we are back live on the red carpet
03:54at the 2025 Nurses' Ball.
03:57And it seems as if we have our first arrival of the evening.
04:01It's our incredible mistress of ceremonies, Lucy Ko.
04:05And it looks like she brought a friend.
04:07Well, if this is any indication of what's to come,
04:09this is going to be a wild night at the Nurses' Ball.
04:14Oh.
04:17Lucy.
04:18Well, tell us about your date.
04:20Well, this devastatingly handsome
04:23and downy soft fella is Sebastian.
04:26Now, I understand that you two are on a mission.
04:29Indeed we are.
04:30Although I think Sebastian right now is stealing my spot
04:34just for the moment.
04:35But it is for a very, very good cause.
04:37We are here to promote rescue organizations
04:39for llamas around our country and around the world.
04:42And llamas need rescuing?
04:44Oh, for many, many, many reasons.
04:46And these rescue organizations, they
04:48really do take care of their medical care
04:50and sanctuary for them, for many abused and neglected llamas.
04:55But even Sebastian here will admit,
04:57sometimes llamas can be stubborn and independent thinkers.
05:01Well, not unlike a certain mistress of ceremonies
05:03that we all know and love.
05:05OK.
05:06Guilty.
05:07But llamas can be rehabilitated.
05:09And then they can be adopted by people
05:10who really get them and understand their needs,
05:13unlike me, who tends to be ungovernable.
05:16Well, it's a great, great cause.
05:18It really is.
05:19Sebastian agrees.
05:20And I want to thank you both for stepping up at the last minute
05:24to host this red carpet, because our original host
05:27had to drop out suddenly.
05:29So I do appreciate it so much.
05:31And may I just say, you two do make
05:34a very glamorous, fabulous, and very gorgeous pair.
05:40Yes, it's our pleasure.
05:43As mistress of ceremonies, can you
05:45give us a little preview as to what
05:47we might expect for the evening?
05:49I'm telling you, we have so many fantastic acts.
05:51We have this very sexy tango, to mention one.
05:54And I'm also performing tonight.
05:57Oh, that's wonderful.
05:58Something to look forward to.
05:59Yes.
06:00It really, oh, don't forget.
06:02We always have a very, very special guest.
06:06Any hints?
06:07No.
06:08Come on, a lady never tells.
06:10Sounds very intriguing.
06:12It will be.
06:13And I promise you, it will be worthwhile and fantastic.
06:15But I'm going to take this fella,
06:17and we're going to go get a carrot.
06:19Because he is really amazing, and has
06:22done his job quite properly, wouldn't you say?
06:23So have a wonderful evening, and we'll see you soon.
06:26Thank you so much.
06:27What is it?
06:30Oh, Sebastian wants to say, ta.
06:36That's a lot of llama.
06:44And it looks like we have more VIP guests arriving now.
06:50Coffee importer, Sonny Corinthos.
06:56What are you doing here?
06:59Oh, Dante offered me a ride to the nurse's home.
07:02I'm happy you accepted.
07:06Looks like the whole family's here.
07:07Where's Lois?
07:09Oh, she left already.
07:10I think she's meeting Sonny there.
07:11What?
07:13I'm doing everything I can to eradicate
07:15Sonny Corinthos from Port Charles,
07:17and she's parading around town with him.
07:19What a traitor.
07:20Really, Tracy?
07:22His son, the mother of his grandchild,
07:24the mother of his son, the niece who calls him Uncle Dimples.
07:29He does have the best dimples.
07:30I mean, you're literally surrounded.
07:32Well, when Godfather Dimples ends up in prison,
07:36you all can call and collect.
07:39That's our cue.
07:40Andiamo, we will see all you kids there.
07:43Wait, I'm supposed to be riding with you.
07:45For the sake of keeping the peace,
07:46maybe you should ride with Brooklyn and Chase.
07:49Some people are so sensitive.
07:51Come on, let's go.
07:58Mr. Corinthos, you are at the center
08:01of a highly debated proposition known as Measure C,
08:04which gives the people of Port Charles
08:06a say in whether or not you get to keep
08:07your waterfront property.
08:09How do you feel about your chances?
08:11It doesn't matter how I feel.
08:13The people of Port Charles need to choose
08:16what's best for the city.
08:19But that's politics.
08:20Tonight, we're here for something more important.
08:24We certainly are.
08:25Donna, welcome to the red carpet.
08:29Your dress is gorgeous.
08:33I've been wanting to wear it for a while,
08:35but Mommy said to save it for something special.
08:37Well, yes, a lady does have to pick her moments,
08:40but I think that you picked the perfect time
08:43and place to show it off.
08:44Isn't that right, Jared?
08:45Absolutely.
08:46We're thrilled to have you, Donna.
08:49Come on, babe.
08:50Have a wonderful evening.
09:03Our next guest has arrived, Carly Spencer,
09:06co-owner of this beautiful hotel that's
09:08hosting the event tonight.
09:12Come join us, Carly.
09:15Nice to have you back on the red carpet again.
09:18Never miss a nurse's ball.
09:20Carly, we just saw your beautiful daughter,
09:22and she couldn't have been cuter.
09:26Carly, it's too bad that your son Michael
09:29couldn't be here tonight.
09:32It really is.
09:34And I'm sure you miss your favorite nephew.
09:36I know how much you two love to share things.
09:40How's he recovering from his terrible injuries?
09:42He's doing great.
09:43Thanks for asking.
09:44It's tragic that he was the unintended victim
09:46of an attempt on his father's life
09:48really does highlight the need to pass
09:51Measure C for Michael's sake, wouldn't you say?
09:57Actually, I'm very much against Measure C,
10:01because it's clearly one politician's attempt
10:03at making himself important at the expense of one of Port
10:07Charles' most generous citizens.
10:09And what politician is that?
10:12Councilman Boyle, obviously.
10:16Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I
10:17don't want to miss a moment of this amazing night.
10:31Next up, we have our former deputy mayor,
10:33the always stunning Jordan Ashford,
10:35along with one of Port Charles' newest denizens,
10:38industrialist Jens Sidwell.
10:41Welcome, both of you.
10:42Welcome.
10:43And Jordan, you look amazing no matter what.
10:45But tonight, you have outdone yourself.
10:47Thank you, Nina.
10:48You're not too bad yourself.
10:50And I am so sorry, but I have to ask.
10:52Not too long ago, you were the city liaison
10:54for the nurses' ball.
10:56But that came to an end when you resigned as deputy mayor.
11:00What was that all about?
11:01Opportunity, Nina.
11:03And I'm pleased to announce that I
11:05am now COO of Mr. Sidwell's company, SRE Worldwide.
11:10Congratulations.
11:12And it just so happens that Mr. Sidwell
11:14is picking up the tab for the entire ball tonight.
11:17Well, that is very generous of you, Mr. Sidwell.
11:21I've received such a warm welcome
11:23from the good people of Port Charles.
11:25This is my way of saying thank you to the city.
11:28Mr. Sidwell has done other incredibly generous acts
11:30here in Port Charles.
11:31Now we have two wonderful guests
11:33now arriving on the red carpet.
11:36Hello, Felicia.
11:37Good evening.
11:39Well, Felicia is a patient advocate at General Hospital
11:41and an all-around Port Charles legend.
11:47I wouldn't go that far.
11:48And this is Dr. Isaiah Gannon.
11:51And just to be clear, he's my co-worker and friend,
11:54but not my date.
11:56Felicia's husband is none other than Port Charles'
11:59chief of detectives, Max Scorpio.
12:01Who is sadly running late, but fortunately,
12:04I ran into Dr. Gannon on the way here.
12:07And he graciously offered to be my escort on the red carpet.
12:10Oh, very nice.
12:11So he's handsome and a gentleman.
12:14Is it too much to hope for that you are also single?
12:18Yes, I am.
12:20Very.
12:23I didn't have to go to the trouble
12:24to draw up these fake documents,
12:25but I know what kind of pressure you're under,
12:27and I thought I'd help you out.
12:29You know what would help?
12:31Stop blackmailing me.
12:33But I still cherish these precious moments
12:35where I get to push your buttons.
12:37Keep pushing.
12:38You may not like where it ends.
12:40Why? What are you going to do?
12:41You going to have Christina teach
12:42you how to cut my brake lines?
12:44I'm sure there's an online tutorial.
12:47You know, none of this would be happening
12:48if your lunatic daughter hadn't tried to murder Ava
12:50and end up almost killing me and Elizabeth instead.
12:54How could I forget?
12:55Because you keep throwing it in my face 24 hours a day.
12:57Oh, I'm sorry.
12:58If you find that the arrangement is unacceptable to you,
13:01I have a very simple solution.
13:02Ava and I can go to the police,
13:04have your daughter thrown in prison,
13:05and destroy what is left of your family.
13:07Does that sound better to you?
13:13Bye, Christina.
13:16Every time I come over lately, this slime ball is here.
13:19Why is that?
13:25I'm here with the host of tonight's Nurses Ball,
13:27Congressman Drew Cain,
13:28and Crimson Magazine's editor-in-chief, Nina Reeves.
13:32You two make a great team.
13:35Yes, we do.
13:40Yeah, it's like riding a bike.
13:42Huh? How so?
13:45Yeah, Nina. How so?
13:48It's just really easy,
13:50and I've done this for years,
13:52and now I get to do it with Drew.
13:55Lucky you.
13:56Yes, lucky me.
13:57And maybe lucky me, because you two look fantastic,
14:01and I know our viewers can't wait to see
14:03what's in store for the Nurses Ball 2025.
14:06Thank you so much.
14:07Oh, thank you, George. Great to see you.
14:08It's so wonderful to spend this time with you.
14:10You too.
14:11Thanks, George.
14:12Bye-bye.
14:13He's always such a pleasure.
14:15Oh!
14:16Okay, now we are live
14:19with Court Charles' favorite power couple,
14:24ELQ's Ned Quartermain,
14:25and MetroCourt co-owner Olivia Quartermain.
14:29It is so wonderful to see both of you back at the Nurses Ball.
14:33Well, thank you so much, Nina.
14:35And as co-owner of the MetroCourt Hotel,
14:37I want to say how proud and honored I am
14:39to help support this very important event.
14:42Well, as you should be, and I have to say that
14:43I'm very happy to see how well our family is represented here.
14:48I didn't realize our family meant that much to you, Drew,
14:51other than, of course, using the Quartermain name.
14:54And we're walking.
14:57Have a nice night.
15:02And next, we have the...
15:03On the red carpet, we've got Dr. Portia Robinson.
15:06We've got Aurora CEO Curtis Ashford
15:09and their daughter, Trina.
15:10Oh, welcome, welcome, welcome.
15:13Nina, you look lovely.
15:14And you look very handsome.
15:16And look at this beautiful family, all together.
15:20Hold on a second.
15:22Looks like we've got a last-minute arrival here.
15:27Surprise.
15:32Hi.
15:34If you signed yourself out just to come here,
15:36I'm escorting you back to the hospital.
15:38Actually, you're on Stella Talks with Doctors With Me,
15:41and they gave you the all-clear for the night,
15:42which is good because there's no way
15:44I was gonna miss your performance.
15:45Trina?
15:46Trina, you have to tell us
15:48who this handsome and impossibly tall young man is.
15:52Oh, well, this...
15:53This is Kai Taylor.
15:54He is the once-and-future-star quarterback at PCU.
15:56Good to see you.
15:57Hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves,
15:58but if I do end up with even the slightest chance
16:01of playing ball again,
16:02it'll be because of the congressman
16:03and his generous support.
16:06Yeah, um, I hate to cut in,
16:08but I think the next arrivals are coming.
16:10Okay. Yeah, well, good to see you.
16:12Have a great time tonight. We'll talk soon.
16:14Enjoy yourself.
16:16Okay.
16:17Have fun.
16:33Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
16:35I have a great idea.
16:36I'd like to walk the red carpet
16:38with, like, two beautiful girls on either side of me.
16:41Uh, Tracy, I love you,
16:43but I'm walking with Dante.
16:46Yeah, I-I did promise Charlotte and Rocco
16:48that I would escort their mom.
16:50Uh-huh.
16:51And this has nothing to do with me
16:53trying to oust your father from Port Charles?
16:55Not even a little bit.
16:59Well, at least my beautiful granddaughter won't desert me.
17:03Oh, I-I'm planning to walk the carpet with my husband,
17:06but you're welcome to join us.
17:08Here we have PCPD Detective Dante Falconeri
17:12and Lulu Spencer.
17:14Lulu, it is so nice to see you.
17:17It's wonderful to be here.
17:18As you know, it's been a while.
17:20Yes, and this is a triumphant return.
17:23You look absolutely amazing.
17:26I couldn't agree more.
17:37Now arriving on the red carpet
17:39are two of our young performers,
17:41Jocelyn Jackson, Giovanni Palmieri.
17:44Welcome. You guys look lovely.
17:48Gio is an amazing violinist.
17:50Uh, mostly classical,
17:51but tonight I'll be switching it up a little bit.
17:54We're very excited to see what you have in store for us.
17:57Aw, thank you.
17:58Unfortunately, I don't think the performance
18:00will make up for your piece-of-trash co-host.
18:03I know that we've had our differences in the past,
18:06but I am truly sorry that you're stuck here working with him.
18:11Oh!
18:13Well, I guess the only thing that I can say
18:16is that you certainly have that feisty spirit
18:19that your late grandmother, Bobby Spencer, had.
18:24Well, you have a wonderful evening.
18:26Oh, they're just lovely.
18:28Lovely.
18:35Brady, aren't you joining us?
18:37Well, I'm certainly not going in by myself.
18:41Uh, it's work.
18:43Really?
18:44If putting Sonny Corinthos in jail can wait, that can wait.
18:48Look, I don't know how long this is gonna take,
18:50so why don't you guys go ahead?
18:52Great. Let's get this over with.
18:56Chief Scorpio. Hey.
18:59No, we just got here.
19:02You want me to what?
19:04Rick just stopped by to see if Molly was here,
19:07and I told him that she stopped at the office
19:09and we were all meeting up at the ball.
19:11Well, the ball's not here, so why are you?
19:13Oh, what happened to you putting your anger away and moving on?
19:17Oh, that stopped
19:18when you started helping Willow steal my brother's children from him.
19:21Oh, well, see, that's Michael's mother.
19:23She was the one who pushed for the court date
19:25and reignited this whole custody battle.
19:27My client is just trying to defend herself.
19:29Willow's hardly an innocent, but it sure says a lot about her
19:32that she chose a bottom-feeder like you to...
19:34Wow, okay. On that note, got it.
19:39You know, Christina,
19:41you might want to watch about getting up on that high horse.
19:44All it takes is one little push and...
19:54Oh, he's so disgusting!
19:55It doesn't matter.
19:57You need to be nicer to him.
19:59I'm sorry, did you just tell me to be nicer to Rick?
20:03Maybe you're the one who's losing your mind.
20:12Hey, Uncle Sonny.
20:14Uh, I heard Donna was walking the red carpet.
20:17Yeah, she did. Now she's with the other kids.
20:21Have you seen Lois around anywhere?
20:23She's running around. I haven't...
20:25You know, it's hard to keep track of her.
20:28So, listen, um...
20:30Brooklyn says you have something special you're doing tonight.
20:35She keeps telling everybody that.
20:37I just hope she's not over-hyping it.
20:39Nah, nah, nah.
20:40So, uh, how was your first nurses bar red carpet?
20:44Joss made it memorable.
20:47Look at you!
20:48Oh, my God, this dress! This dress is everything!
20:51Oh, well, thank you.
20:52I bet you were hit on the red carpet.
20:53Uh, Donna was a bigger hit.
20:55Yeah, but I did take some shots at Drew on the carpet, which was fun.
20:59Drew tried to use Michael to bait me.
21:01On camera?
21:02Yeah, well, he wouldn't benefit from me having a meltdown off-camera.
21:05He wouldn't be able to use it at the custody hearing.
21:08Thank God I was able to keep my cool with Nina and Drew.
21:11And here we have two more of my fellow Quartermains, Tracy and Brooklyn.
21:15Welcome!
21:16Thank you, Drew.
21:17I would like to take this opportunity, if I may,
21:20to express my support for Measure C
21:23and to say how heartened I am that my nephew, the Congressman,
21:27is leading the charge to rid poor Charles of that blight called Sunny Corinthos,
21:32also known as my uncle.
21:35Well, Tracy, I have to say that it's nice for the two of us to be on the same side for once.
21:42Well, here's one of our favorites at the nurses' ball,
21:45and Brooklyn's husband, Detective Harrison Chase.
21:49Now, I hear you're slated to perform an act tonight.
21:52Yeah, I was, but I've been put back on duty.
21:55Tracy, can I talk to you in private?
21:57In a minute.
21:58I am talking about an issue that's important to all the people of poor Charles.
22:02I'm sorry, this can't wait.
22:05This can't either.
22:06Measure C will allow...
22:08Really, I'm sorry to do this to you.
22:10What are you sorry about?
22:12Tracy Quartermain, you are under arrest.
22:23I'm sorry, did you say I'm under arrest?
22:25I'll just take this.
22:27We should really discuss this off camera.
22:29Yeah, Grandmother, maybe we should go.
22:31No, I'm clearly being erroneously accused of something.
22:35I want the good people of poor Charles to know so they can see how ridiculous this is.
22:42You're under arrest for assault in connection to the drugging of an individual without their knowledge or consent.
22:47Who did I drug?
22:49Congressman Drew Quartermain.
22:52Oh, this is a mistake.
22:54No.
22:55No, it's not.
22:57Oh, my God.
22:58You're not, you're not arresting me.
23:00This is ridiculous.
23:04Is Chase arresting Tracy?
23:06Uh, yeah.
23:07Kind of looks like it.
23:08I just hope she doesn't make him use the taser.
23:11You have the right to remain silent.
23:13Oh, you're gonna wish I remained silent before this is over.
23:16Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
23:19Oh, are you still flapping your yapper?
23:21Stop it!
23:22You have the right to an attorney.
23:24If you cannot afford an attorney, you won't be provided for.
23:29Is everything all right?
23:31You certainly seem distracted.
23:34Sorry, I have to make a call.
23:39If Curtis finds out that I lied to him again, my marriage is over.
23:52I got one of these for Felicia.
23:54She had to deal with a crisis backstage, so...
23:59I could really use it.
24:01If you ever need to talk, come find me.
24:07Hey!
24:08Hey, Dan, you look good.
24:09I will see you guys inside.
24:11Lou, good to see you.
24:13You too, sonny.
24:15So, uh, you just missed, uh, Chase arresting Tracy on the red carpet.
24:20I guess Drew has accused her of drugging him.
24:23Oh, sorry, I missed that.
24:25Couldn't happen to a nicer person.
24:28Speaking of Port Charles finest, here come PCPD's police commissioner,
24:31Anna Devane, with her granddaughter, Emma.
24:34Welcome, both of you.
24:35You two look lovely.
24:37Oh, thank you. So do you.
24:38Now, Commissioner Devane, I hear that you're slated to perform
24:41not one, but two acts tonight.
24:44Oh, well, that remains to be seen.
24:47Uh, the leading vocalist for one act was just laid off in handcuffs,
24:52and my partner from the other act was the arresting officer, so I'm...
24:57Well, I'm sure you'll figure something out.
24:59Your resourcefulness is legendary.
25:02We'll see, shall we?
25:04Now, Emma, the Nurses Ball was founded in honor of your mother,
25:08Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake.
25:10Will she be attending tonight?
25:12Unfortunately, my mom couldn't make it,
25:14but my grandma and I are here to represent her
25:16and to relay her message of hope.
25:18Yes, we are.
25:19You know, there's been so much progress
25:21since the first Nurses Ball in 1994,
25:24and people with HIV are living long and happy lives.
25:29And thanks to the dedication and the resourcefulness
25:33of scientists and researchers around the world,
25:36we believe, and we are certain,
25:39that it's just a question of time before a cure is developed.
25:43Once before.
25:56Okay, let's not let him ruin the evening.
25:59We're gonna be late. We should go.
26:01Why are you defending Rick all of a sudden?
26:03Because we made a truce.
26:07For Molly's sake, remember?
26:09I recall you doing it, too.
26:12Like I said, he's going after Michael, so all bets are off.
26:15Okay.
26:16Well, it doesn't help to be openly hostile.
26:18In fact, it would be a lot better
26:20if you could keep things on an even keel.
26:23Even keel?
26:25Because I'm so emotionally volatile?
26:27What are you gonna do, have me committed after all?
26:43What?
26:45Oh, my God, do I have a stain on my dress?
26:47I haven't even touched anything yet.
26:49No, no, I just...
26:51Um, no.
26:53Are you gonna head in?
26:55Um, I've been waiting for my mom and Christina,
26:58but neither of them are responding to my texts.
27:01Well, in that case, would you...
27:04Would you like to go in?
27:06No.
27:08My texts.
27:10Well, in that case, would you care to walk with me?
27:15I promise I'll leave my pants on.
27:21So this is how it's gonna go
27:23any time we have a difference of opinion?
27:25You're gonna accuse me of thinking that you're crazy.
27:27I'm sorry.
27:29My mother tried to have me thrown into a mental institution
27:31without my consent.
27:33It's a little hard for me to let go.
27:35I understand.
27:37There are a lot of things that we need to work out about this,
27:39but at this particular moment,
27:41I'm trying to give you some advice.
27:43Let me be clear.
27:45I am not going to be nice to Rick
27:47while he is fighting to have my brother's children
27:49taken away from him.
27:51Well, then maybe you could just try to stay out of his face, okay?
27:53Because he's not someone that we can afford to piss off.
27:55Is this for Molly's sake? Because she's actually...
27:57This isn't just for Molly's sake.
27:59This is for yours.
28:01What are you talking about?
28:03Now arriving on the red carpet
28:05is A.D.A.
28:07Molly Lansing Davis
28:09and Quartermain
28:11Stablemaster Cody Bell.
28:13So nice to see you both.
28:15Well, it's such a good cause, Drew.
28:17We'd put up with just about
28:19anything before we'd miss it.
28:21Am I right?
28:23Yeah, something like that.
28:25Molly, I hope you don't mind me asking,
28:27but are you and Cody
28:29an item?
28:31Um, I...
28:33A.D.A. Lansing Davis has had the pleasure
28:35of prosecuting me. More than once.
28:37Oh, I've never actually technically prosecuted him.
28:39We did. We met
28:41while I was in custody. But fortunately for me,
28:43part of my sentence
28:45was that I have to escort beautiful women
28:47on the red carpet.
28:51I've got to hand it to you two.
28:53The Metro Court looks amazing.
28:55Oh, thank you. I'm so glad you approve.
28:57I was good the second we approved.
28:59I agree.
29:01I was just being nice.
29:03Sorry.
29:05I gotta go check on the waitstaff. Excuse me.
29:09Dad, I'm so glad I found you.
29:11Did you hear what happened to Granny?
29:13No. What does she do now?
29:21Take the cuffs off.
29:25Tracy, have a seat.
29:27Everything...
29:29Listen, go back to the ball.
29:31Please tell Felicia I'm sorry I can't make it.
29:33Yeah, Chief.
29:35And Tracy, for what it's worth, I really...
29:37Save it.
29:45This is definitely gonna take a while.
29:51We have a problem.
29:53I know. I heard about Tracy.
29:55Do either one of you sing?
29:57Absolutely not.
29:59Okay, fine.
30:01Then Maxie.
30:03Remember at rehearsal she said she could take Tracy's plays?
30:05Maxie could do it.
30:07She can't. Bailey Lou is sick and she's home with her.
30:09And Spinelli,
30:11he had to bring Georgie and James without her.
30:13I heard that. I know. I'm sorry.
30:15I just have a lot of other things on my mind.
30:17Felicia,
30:19I think you might just have solved our problem.
30:21I confronted Drew
30:23and he is definitely blackmailing Portia.
30:25Hypothetically.
30:27I hate that game.
30:29What does he have on her?
30:31Hypothetically.
30:33I need to confirm some things first before I say anything.
30:35Of course.
30:37Have you talked to Portia?
30:39Not yet.
30:41But I will.
30:43Eventually.
30:53Oh, there.
30:55Right there.
30:57No, I just...
30:59Oh, my...
31:01ADA Lansing Davis.
31:03How are you this evening?
31:05I'm great, Scott.
31:07Hi, I'm happy to be here supporting such a good cause.
31:09Of course, of course.
31:11And may I ask, who is your date to this incredible event?
31:13Well, he's not actually...
31:15Cody Bell is my name.
31:17Oh, Mr. Bell.
31:19You look familiar.
31:21Do I recognize you
31:23from any of that deception advertising?
31:25Yes, in my past.
31:27I'm no longer in the deception business, though.
31:29So you say.
31:31I really should be getting her inside
31:33before she realizes
31:35how much better she can do than me.
31:37You really should.
31:39Thank you. Have a great night.
31:41Thank you. You too.
31:43It looks like we have seen the last of our arrivals,
31:45which means, Drew,
31:47that our work here is mercifully done.
31:49So thank you.
31:51We...
31:53It seems
31:55we've saved the best for last.
32:19You look incredible.
32:41Anything?
32:43Nothing.
32:45I've tried Christina and my mom.
32:47Neither of them are responding.
32:49I really hope they get here soon.
32:51The ball's about to start.
32:53What I think
32:55is it would be much healthier for you
32:57if you did let go of that anger.
32:59I mean, that was the plan, right?
33:01And as despicable as Rick is,
33:03it was a good plan.
33:05Well, I've changed my mind.
33:07Change it back.
33:09Stop. You are doing this. You're trying to control me.
33:11That's not what I'm doing.
33:13Yes, it is. You have done this to me since I have been a child.
33:15I've done this to police, what I think
33:17and what I do, and I'm sick of it.
33:19I'm trying to keep you
33:21from making a terrible mistake.
33:23My mistakes are my own.
33:25Oh.
33:27What? What?
33:29Say it. I am not a child
33:31and I don't need you to protect me anymore.
33:33Yes, you do.
33:35You obviously do need me to protect you
33:37because if I don't, you and I are going to prison.
33:39Why would you say that?
33:41Because I know
33:43you tried to kill Ava.
33:47Drew said you were the last person
33:49he remembered being with the night he was drugged.
33:53That doesn't mean I did it.
33:55And I was not the last person he was with
33:57the night he was drugged.
33:59I saw the videos.
34:01But based on his information, we got a search warrant.
34:03We found a vial of ketamine
34:05in your car.
34:07That's ridiculous.
34:09Why would I have...
34:13Oh, my God.
34:15He framed me.
34:17Tracy's the one who drugged Drew?
34:19If she were,
34:21she would have never gotten caught.
34:23Something's fishy.
34:31Willow, you look amazing.
34:33Thank you. So do you.
34:35For everyone watching at home,
34:37this is my beautiful daughter, Willow,
34:39and one of GH's finest nurses.
34:41And she looks
34:43absolutely radiant tonight.
34:45You want to tell everyone what your secret is?
34:47I don't know.
34:49I think it's because I've never been so happy.
34:51And it's all
34:53because of Drew.
34:57Well, it's obvious that
34:59you and the congressman are
35:01serious.
35:03Absolutely. We are
35:05totally committed to each other and our future,
35:07and I am just so thrilled
35:09and blessed to be building a beautiful
35:11family together with this man.
