00:26be planting myself next to the pool and not going anywhere how's Gio doing it's hard to say
00:31I'm just glad I got him back to Port Charles where is he now I'm not sure if he's still
00:37there but I dropped him off at Sonny's you know after what Brooklyn did I'm just having a hard
00:43time seeing her the same way but through this mess one thing I am seeing is that I owe you
00:53an apology for what when I found out you were my father I didn't exactly welcome you with open
01:00arms I mean that's the past we move on no but my mother lied to me about you and I gave her the
01:07benefit of the doubt but for some reason I'm having a hard time doing the same thing with Brooklyn
01:11you know what you can be angry with Brooklyn with Lois whoever you want that's fine
01:17but the important thing right now Dante is you have a son and he's hurting
01:25Gio we were so worried thank god you came home to your family
01:32no this isn't my home and none of you are my family Gio please you would just listen to
01:38stop Lois I'm here to grab the rest of my stuff and I'm leaving
01:43by asking me if I'm good are you asking me if I'm laundering money
01:57no but I have a lot of experience in international banking law
02:02it's one of the reasons why you hired me one of many so if you found yourself entangled in some
02:09investment that hasn't worked out the way you planned or has gotten you into trouble I'm here to help
02:14thank you very much here is our witness list
02:19we have offered Willow a very generous settlement why were you I would convince her to take it
02:27well I don't know about that Diane I'd have a few tricks up my sleeve
02:31well that I'm counting
02:32sorry feeling ready to have this be over
02:49all I'm saying is no matter what happens you have to keep your cool on the stand
02:55I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get my grandchildren away from Willow
02:59even if I have to be civil
03:01I know you're confident about our chances but I'm terrified
03:18I totally understand that but just know that I'm here for you okay and so is your mother
03:22don't worry
03:27everything's gonna work out just fine
03:31oh Drew I'm so sorry I'm fresh out of ketamine you'll have to hit up your local vet
03:37did Jason ever cop to being the father of Sasha's baby
03:48I didn't ask him about it and we don't talk about it
03:54Rick we're counting on you to convince the judge Michael's no altar boy
04:13I know I'm being paranoid but what if Rick knows about me and Michael
04:22Rick doesn't and I don't even think he's gonna call you to the stand but if he does
04:26you're good under pressure
04:29we are about to start okay
04:36hold up
04:40we have a problem
04:43Gio you have every right to be angry
04:57honey
04:58all Lois and I wanted to do was make things right for you and Brooklyn
05:02is that right
05:03look I know you can't see our side of it right now and
05:07maybe you never will but there is one thing you need to know
05:12Brooklyn had nothing to do with this
05:16is that true
05:18did they make you give me a
05:21you know Gio's not the only one reeling from all those
05:27I get that but you're an adult
05:29you do know that a son can meet his father as an adult
05:33and develop a relationship
05:35yeah I do I just got a lot of years to make up for
05:40if you and I can get past what we went through
05:43I'm sure you and Gio can work your way to each other
05:46all right I gotta go I gotta be at the courthouse
05:51Diane's calling me to testify on Michael's behalf
05:53I wish I was there
05:55I'm sure Michael does too
05:56go help your brother
05:58with the both of us
06:01thanks
06:01thanks
06:03Jason I'm not going to put you on the stand
06:14why
06:16because Rick will question you
06:18about the incendiary device that injured Michael
06:21at the very least
06:22he will argue that your proximity to Sonny poses a danger to Michael's children
06:26and given the months that you have just spent recuperating
06:29from an attempt on Sonny's life he's not wrong
06:31okay so I won't testify but I'm still going to be here to support Michael
06:35support from a distance
06:37because if you are in that courtroom Jason
06:39Rick can and will point to you
06:41use you as a prop to bolster his arguments
06:44you okay with this
06:47no
06:49Diane's right
06:51always
06:52let's go
06:54I'll be right in
06:55thanks for understanding
07:00of course
07:02even after everything Willow's done it
07:05I hate having to publicly rake her over the coals like this
07:09it's not about Willow
07:11it's about the kids
07:13and you got to keep them away from Drew
07:15and don't forget
07:19you're a great father
07:22and your kids need you
07:24well thank you for looking out for me Marco and the firm
07:39but there's really nothing to be concerned about
07:41the Dolos fund is not a shell company and I'm
07:45perfectly comfortable with the investment
07:47okay
07:48but if you change your mind or if your investment comes under scrutiny
07:52there are ways to mitigate your personal risk
07:55thank you Marco I appreciate it
07:57excuse me
08:00I'll give you some privacy
08:05what do you want
08:12you need to get down to the courthouse now
08:14I don't have a court date
08:16no you don't
08:18Christina does
08:19Diane added Christina to her witness list
08:25to testify on Michael's behalf
08:27well Michael is her brother so
08:29so
08:30if she gets up on that stand
08:31Christina's most likely going to tell a very sad story
08:34about how Willow used Michael's torched body
08:36as a bargaining chip with his family
08:38if Willow didn't want that used against her
08:40she shouldn't have done it in the first place
08:42well that's very true Alexis
08:43just like if Christina didn't want to go to prison
08:46maybe she shouldn't have cut my brake lines
08:47which I can certainly get her up on the stand and ask her about
08:50what does any of this have to do with Michael's divorce proceeding
08:53well I don't know
08:54maybe it won't come up
08:55maybe nothing
08:57but you never know what your easily manipulated
09:00predictably unpredictable daughter
09:01might say on the witness stand
09:03to open up to that line of questioning
09:04whatever you're going to do
09:06do it fast
09:08we're starting
09:09Joss

10:38she's working for the guy
10:39Trina I know that Joss is your friend
10:41and can do no wrong in your eyes
10:43but your bestie sabotaged me
10:45and then stole a job that was practically mine for herself
10:47what's true is that I had no idea that you were my son
10:53but no
10:55no one made me give you
10:58I see
11:01Gio I was a teenager when I had you
11:04I wanted you to have parents that could love and care for you
11:09without needing to grow up themselves
11:11thank you for being honest with me
11:15you know I get it
11:16you didn't want me
11:18knowing that I couldn't care for you
11:20is not the same as not wanting you
11:23if you had wanted me you would have found a way
11:25giving you up was the hardest thing I've ever done
11:29and I have carried it with me every single day
11:33it's true
11:34Gio
11:35Brooklyn loved you enough to give you up
11:38to give you a better life than the one she could have given you
11:41if she had kept you
11:42even if that meant never seeing you again
11:44all rise
11:51court is now in session

12:04let's hear from the plaintiff
12:06thank you your honor my client michael corinthos the third seeks full custody of his minor children wiley and amelia
12:15i'm going to prove that their mother willow tate corinthos abdicated all parental responsibility when she began and through her actions during her extramarital affair with michael's uncle congressman drew came michael corinthos is offering a divorce settlement of five million dollars
12:33uh your honor my client
12:36for not to be bought off and her children are not for sale mr corinthos's money is no good here
12:41willow is a devoted mother and she seeks full custody of her children
12:46yes i was present at the quarter main christmas party when the video of willow and drew having sex in the children's nursery was played
13:04and what happened after the video was viewed
13:07well after a while i realized that willow and nina had left so i went down to the quarter main gatehouse
13:13it's where michael and willow and the children were living at the time
13:16what was happening at the gatehouse when you arrived
13:19i found willow and her mother attempting to remove the children from the premises without michael's knowledge
13:26did they succeed
13:27no michael showed up before they could sneak them away
13:31did michael stop willow from leaving with the children
13:34he did not
13:35michael wanted to avoid a confrontation
13:38confrontation what kind of confrontation
13:41well willow was very emotional
13:43i mean who wouldn't be when their affair with their husband's uncle was revealed to the entire family
13:48and willow was unaware of how her actions were impacting her children
13:53what kind of impact
13:55well willow was dragging small children out of their bed late at night
13:59away from their home and their father the children were very upset
14:03but willow was only concerned about how the events of the evening were affecting her
14:08would you say that it was difficult for your son to watch his children leaving with willow
14:13it was heartbreaking for michael

14:37drew's hotel suite

18:28a wonderful mother to you yes yes but but no but she loved you with all her heart and to this day
18:37you love her the same well if she loved me so much why did she lie to me every single day of my life
18:45even when she was in hospice on her deathbed she still didn't tell me the truth because we spoke to
18:51camilla before she passed about whether or not to tell you the truth and and she agreed that it would
18:58be too confusing for you wait a minute she agreed did the two of you pressure a dying woman into
19:07keeping your secret detective chase who did willow cheat on you with with michael did michael know that
19:21you and willow were married
19:24he did
19:29nothing further your honor redirect

19:42detective you may step down the court will take a ten minute recess
19:51how are we doing i need a minute
20:02nick you planning on fighting back at all today are you just going to hand willow's children over to
20:07michael okay let's review so far there's been a lot of pearl clutching over an affair that no one denies
20:13even michael's own mother testified that he willingly let willow take their kids and the trip to dc
20:20there was no kidnapping charges filed drew okay diane's just retreading old territory whereas we
20:26have new and compelling evidence to offer
20:32mom excuse me i need to borrow my daughter yeah thank you
20:36what are you doing i'm getting you out of here before you get us both thrown in prison
20:46well i wouldn't have made half the progress i have if it wasn't for jen's very generous support oh
20:52henry's research is going to benefit the whole world well if only everybody saw it that way
21:00look am i i know that you really wanted the job but joss wouldn't take a job that she didn't earn
21:06that's what you keep saying and joss is spending her whole summer in a lab
21:09okay well we get to hang out here at the pool and i intend to make the most out of my freedom
21:16before training starts join me
21:19brooklyn you should be ashamed of yourself for accusing your mother of such a thing
21:37that was camilla's choice you sure about that very
21:44camilla did not want to pass on and have you grieving and questioning your whole entire life
21:52wait so when you came to visit her in hospice that's what you were talking about whether or not
22:01to tell me that my mother wasn't my mother it was not like that at all camilla made her wishes very
22:08clear she didn't want to die with you thinking that she wasn't your mother i guess we're just gonna have
22:15to take your word up you know what brooklyn if you had wanted to keep geo we wouldn't have stopped you
22:22and geo if camilla had wanted to use her last breath to tell you the truth we would have worked
22:30things out i get why you didn't tell me the truth about geo before camilla died but after
22:37maybe i could have helped him but you made sure i never got that chance
22:46oh don't you go good you're up next then christina then tracy michael i'm saving you for last
22:52christina's gone she left with alexis what do you mean christina left
22:56she's testifying that willow kept michael's family away from him when he was fighting for
23:02his life in the burn unit i need her testimony on record you can put me back on the stand
23:08no the judge needs to hear from someone close to michael who can clearly convey what happened
23:15i know who can do it
23:19henry why don't you tell jordan about your research
23:22okay um i am devising a process to help generate uh clean energy yeah
23:35oh i'm i'm so sorry i have to take this okay
23:41i'm sorry that your absence might hurt michael's case but i really had no choice
23:47alexis yeah i just heard from diane she's looking for you
23:50she wants to know why christina wasn't in court to testify thank you marco i'll handle it
23:55no actually i'll handle it i'm gonna tell diane that it was too triggering for me
23:59and i started having flashbacks of the last time rick absolutely shredded me on the stand that's
24:04believable right i don't think we've met yet by the way i'm christina the family embarrassment
24:11how much forgiveness does lois need from you i don't condone what she did but
24:20you know our friendship i stand by our friendship okay do you think anybody else will well because
24:26of lois uh dante and brooklyn are spinning geo feels like the people he trusted the most lied to him
24:34except for you you know when he was on the stage and he he broke that violin it broke my heart
24:44i mean that that instrument was his life
24:49and he destroyed it it's like he was taking his anger out on himself
24:54yeah i know what that's like i don't want my grandson you keep saying all you wanted to do
25:05was protect my son but after camilla died you left him without any parents at all but we we

25:56detective fock and airy would you mind telling the court what this is
26:05looks like michael's criminal record yes thank you and would you mind reading the flagged passage
26:13michael was convicted for involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to serve time in pennville
26:26nothing further your honor redirect go ahead detective would you please describe the circumstances
26:34surrounding that crime yeah sure claudia zaccara was the victim but she had kidnapped carly who was
26:42pregnant at the time by the time michael found them carly had given birth to his baby sister jocelyn
26:48and claudia was attempting to abscond with the baby michael in stopping her
26:56accidentally ended up killing her so michael went to prison for trying to protect his baby sister he did
27:03thank you nothing further your honor if i may detective what was the weapon in question
27:12it was an axe handle and for the record the charge was involuntary manslaughter

27:37i do
27:42miss quarterby
27:43you and your great nephew michael have a publicly contentious relationship and yet
27:50you are here today as a character witness on his behalf why is that michael and i have a contentious
27:57business relationship but as far as family goes he is the linchpin of the quarter main family
28:02he is my late brother alan and his wife monica he's their only biological grandson
28:13and he is the future of my family anything to say about drew kane ever since the beginning
28:19drew has wanted everything that michael has had including his wife willow and in fact willow enthusiastically
28:27obliged objection argumentative sustained
28:32miss quarterbaine can you explain the circumstances surrounding your arrest the night of january 17th
28:39why it's irrelevant miss quarterbaine answer the question i can refresh your memory were you arrested
28:47for kidnapping wiley and amelia i was actually babysitting them at michael's request the children were
28:55were restless so i had my bodyguard yuri take them for a drive the whole incident was blown completely
29:02out of proportion miss quarterbaine are you refusing to answer the question this is not about me this is
29:09about willow's fitness as a parent she professes to be the perfect mother and yet she's so willing
29:16to let drew use her and her children as a weapon against my family
29:22so were you charged with kidnapping yes or no
29:30miss quarterman answer the question
29:38yes

33:21willow used her status as michael's medical proxy to bar his family from the icu michael had just filed
33:28for divorce so the two were estranged michael needed to be surrounded by family but unfortunately
33:34that didn't matter because willow used michael's life-threatening medical condition to get what
33:41she wanted ignoring the impact that it would have on the family and putting her own children's father's
33:49health in jeopardy where was drew during all this right next to willow like always thank you miss jacks
33:59your witness
34:03miss jacks when willow forbade the family from seeing michael this was after your mother ruthlessly stole
34:13the children from their home correct no no your mother didn't have your niece and nephew taken from
34:23their mother no she did but the children were staying with their grandmother nina reeves so they
34:28actually were not at their home when they were removed by removed you mean stole my mother had a
34:33court order which means a judge actually agreed that the children should no longer be under willow's care
34:40so the removal of the children was perfectly legal now you've testified that willow took drastic action
34:50after your family used the legal system to separate her from her children i have and she did was that
34:56understandable i mean wouldn't any mother do anything to fight for her children objection your honor
35:01miss jacks is certainly not an expert on motherhood sustained
35:05wasn't willow's only desire to be reunited with her children i mean wasn't that all willow wanted
35:16come on jocelyn don't take the bait
35:26your faves for la
