00:00Yeah, well, he is fantastic, and we're very honored to show his beautiful wildlife photography.
00:07Well, we look forward to seeing you then.
00:11Thank you so much for calling.
00:14I've been texting you. I've been calling you.
00:17How is Willow? How are you?
00:19How much did Rick tell you?
00:21Just the very awful, very broad strokes.
00:25That Michael got full custody, that Willow collapsed and was hospitalized,
00:30and then after that, of course, I just needed to talk to you.
00:33You know, what happened?
00:37It was everything that I fear.
00:41And so much worse.
00:47Willow?
00:54Did you go running already?
00:59Yeah, it's a beautiful day outside.
01:02Oh.
01:04I guess I must have fallen back asleep.
01:08Well, that's okay. You probably needed the rest.
01:11How are you feeling?
01:12I know. I must have slept last night, but I'm still so tired.
01:18Yeah.
01:20Okay.
01:22Let's go sit down.
01:24I think I'll make you some breakfast.
01:26You know, like anything you want.
01:28It might make you feel a little bit better.
01:31That's okay. I'm hungry.
01:32It's hard to care about starting my day without seeing my kids.
01:41I can also swim to the other side of the boat without taking a breath.
01:46Oh, no way. How did you learn to do that?
01:47Uncle Drew taught me.
01:49Want to see?
01:51Absolutely. Let's see what you got.
01:53Here I go.
01:54Curtis, what a nice surprise.
02:02Unless Stella sent you here to chastise me for getting arrested again.
02:06She did not.
02:07Truth be told, Maya and Stella's quite amused at watching your recent run-ins with the PCPD.
02:12I bet she is. What brings you here?
02:15Tracy, how would you feel delivering Drew the setback he so richly deserves?
02:20Together.
02:21Oh.
02:21I'm listening. Do go on.
02:25Okay, you gotta play for the PCPD.
02:27You like to play, you don't suck, and you totally score points with my grandmother.
02:32Do I need to score points with your grandmother?
02:34Of course not.
02:35She loves having you stay with us.
02:37I just think she'd love you even more if you played ball for the PD.
02:42Emma, picture me sitting in a dugout with Dante.
02:45Right now.
02:46No, it could be the perfect low-key way to get everyone off your back.
02:49Like, you know, maybe everyone relax and stop worrying about how you're handling the whole
02:53Brooklyn and Dante are my parents' mom that got dropped on you.
02:56No, everyone's worried.
02:58I'm gonna do something crazy and lose it again.
03:03Like, turn into a life of crime.
03:05Become a Buddhist monk.
03:06Yeah, but those things take commitment, and you can't even agree to play ball for the PCPD.
03:13Hey, hey, hey, get away from that.
03:15Hey, hey, you little peas.
03:17Sorry, we're out of the dog.
03:18Corey runs into the street.
03:19Party's over, Krenthos.
03:21Many people have said that, and they're wrong.
03:25I'm not wrong.
03:27We've gone too easy on you in the past.
03:31Today's day of reckoning.
03:34Nothing you can do about it.
03:35You're scaring her.
04:01No, she's not freaking out.
04:02She's taunting me.
04:03Man, aren't you cute.
04:05I don't see anybody looking for her.
04:09Yeah, no collar.
04:10No worries.
04:12I know what to do.
04:18Is it okay to ask where you were last night?
04:21It is.
04:22I went to tell Drew that the surgery was a successful failure.
04:27It was good for my health, but bad for my football career.
04:31And I feel like that's where you were.
04:33And you know how I feel about Drew.
04:35That was part of it, yeah.
04:36But I really want to talk to him one-on-one for me, you know?
04:41Yeah, I get it.
04:44How'd it go?
04:45Well, I thanked him for paying for that very expensive consultation in surgery.
04:50And then I asked him if we could stop the whole documentary thing.
04:54Really?
04:54Really?
04:54Mm-hmm.
04:56Wow.
04:56For you.
04:58How'd he take the news?
04:59He was amazing, Trina.
05:02I mean, first he said we can totally stop the documentary and that no one would even see the footage.
05:06And then, get this, he apologized.
05:09Drew has been on the ropes for a while now.
05:15His voters were none too thrilled about his relationship with Willow.
05:17Otherwise known as his nephew's wife.
05:21Do go on.
05:22Then his reputation took another hit when those viral videos surfaced of him taking body shots off of an unknown woman.
05:29Otherwise known as a sex worker.
05:31Please go on.
05:32Then there's the press conference where Drew claims that he knows who drugged him, which got a mixed reaction at best.
05:41You know, folks are just not sure about Drew these days.
05:44Well, he doesn't exactly exude trustworthiness and credibility.
05:49But, C-Trace, here's the problem.
05:51Your high-profile arrest on the red carpet at the nurse's ball, that shifted power in Drew's favor.
05:57So all of a sudden, the public sees him as the victim.
06:01And he's gained sympathy.
06:02Which is exactly what he knew would happen when he framed me.
06:08Bring him, girl.
06:16Well, you did a great job covering when you brought it through.
06:20No, I didn't.
06:21Yeah, you did.
06:22Wiley has no idea how you feel about Drew.
06:25Thank God for that.
06:27It's crazy, Christina.
06:29I remember last summer, Wiley just couldn't stop talking about swimming with Willow and his Uncle Drew.
06:34Now he wanted to be a Navy SEAL, just like Drew was.
06:38Yeah, at the time, I was thrilled that Wiley was having so much fun and that Drew was actually taking an interest in him.
06:45It never occurred to me, not even for a moment, that Drew might have just been using Wiley to get to Willow.
06:50It never occurred to any of us.
06:55They were under the radar until they weren't.
06:58This is one of the saddest parts about divorce.
07:01Good memories getting poisoned.
07:03I mean, all those times, Willow, the kids and I, we were hanging out with Drew, were they just flirting right in front of me?
07:11Was I just that oblivious?
07:12No, you weren't oblivious.
07:14You were in love.
07:16And you trusted her.
07:19What a mistake that was.
07:21Look, you have every right to be angry.
07:24But it's a mistake to let your anger consume you.
07:28I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.
07:29No, that's not good enough.
07:31You have to decide that your anger isn't going to be in charge.
07:36Thanks to Ava, I know a little something about letting anger consume you, and it's dangerous.
07:42If you let it go unchecked, you could find yourself doing something or saying something that you deeply regret and can never take back.
07:53Why do I get the feeling you're talking about something specific?
07:56What did you do, Christina?
08:01So, Drew was the one with the bad judgment.
08:05But to the judge, it looks like Willow's the one making all the bad decisions.
08:09Exactly.
08:10Oh, Nina.
08:12I'm so, so sorry.
08:14I cannot believe what that man has become.
08:20I saw this coming.
08:22I tried to get through to Willow for once.
08:24I begged her to postpone the custody hearing.
08:27But that man, he has his hooks into Willow so deeply that I barely recognize my daughter anymore.
08:38I never thought Michael would get custody like that.
08:51I don't, I don't know what happened.
08:55No, I don't either.
08:57But it doesn't really matter because we can fix it.
09:01We know how.
09:02Have you, have you thought about my proposal?
09:07It's all I've thought about.
09:10Well, that's nice to hear.
09:14Drew, I know you want to help and I love you for it.
09:20But you're the reason Michael took my kids away from me.
09:25I don't see how marrying you would help me get them back.
09:35Uh, Commissioner Devane.
09:37May I have a word?
09:39No, no, not today.
09:41Not if it's about Cominthus, no.
09:42It's...
09:43Okay, what is...
09:45Well, against my better judgment, I'm here to play for the PCPD.
09:51So, uh, who do I talk to?
09:53You play?
09:54I have athletic moments, yes.
09:58Plus, I hear the league is a great networking opportunity.
10:01Oh, there we go.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Yeah, that sounds about right.
10:08Oh!
10:10Looking good, Jill.
10:11You playing today?
10:13Baby, I know you.
10:14I'm Sonny.
10:17Sorry, I'm not used to you not being my home.
10:19Don't worry, buddy.
10:20Just call me Sonny.
10:21I can do that.
10:23Thanks.
10:25I saw you and Emma throwing the ball around.
10:29Yeah?
10:30Yeah, then we found a stray dog running around the park somewhere.
10:33She's off somewhere trying to find its owner.
10:37Good.
10:37Because that way we could have a conversation.
10:39No, come on.
10:42No, you're the one person who doesn't pressure me about family and talking to people.
10:47Please don't do that.
10:49I think you should be on Corinto's Coffee.
10:53Are you serious?
10:54I'm serious.
10:55I've seen you in Bensonhurst.
10:57You had a great arm.
10:58I can't believe you ever saw me play.
11:01I had to sneak out of the house to do it, and I didn't do it often.
11:04What do you say?
11:05I'm trying to get Rocco, you know what I mean?
11:08Corinto's Coffee plays ELQ, PCPD, and Deception.
11:14And those are teams full of people I can't stand to see right now.
11:19You found out a hard truth in a bad way.
11:24There's nothing you can do to change that.
11:27All you can do is move forward.
11:28And I'm willing to help you.
11:35What I'll understand, did something happen?
11:37No.
11:38No, nothing.
11:40It's just...
11:41Look, we both know I've made terrible mistakes in the past based on anger before,
11:45and I almost let my anger towards Ava destroy me completely,
11:51and I don't want that for you.
11:53Drew and Willow, they've already taken enough from you.
11:56Don't let them take more from you than they already have.
11:58You know, the Willow I knew, she was stronger than this.
12:02Yeah, but she was also struggling a lot more than any of us knew, Michael.
12:06I mean, yes, Drew took advantage of that, and they both betrayed you.
12:13But that doesn't matter anymore, okay?
12:15What matters is you have your kids.
12:17You won.
12:19I won.
12:20Yeah.
12:21Kids are safe.
12:22You're home, and you're healthy, and you have a beautiful baby girl,
12:26and that's what matters.
12:27Just try to focus on the positive.
12:32Yeah, you're right.
12:33You're right.
12:33Whenever I feel myself in the need for revenge, I'll just focus on the kids.
12:38I need me to focus on the future.
12:39Yes, and you need to do that for yourself, too.
12:44I'm still hoping that Willow can get to a place where I feel okay having her around the kids.
12:50Wiley and Amelia, they need both of us, but I don't know when or if I'll ever feel comfortable letting Willow see them.
12:57You're right.
13:00It is completely my fault that Michael took the kids.
13:03I made mistakes.
13:05I made two big mistakes.
13:07I should never have invited you and Wiley to D.C. for my swearing in.
13:11Obviously, I wanted you both there.
13:13It was a big moment for me, but that was pure selfishness on my part.
13:18But I wanted to be there.
13:22I was proud of you.
13:23I still am.
13:25And I should never have drawn up those guardianship papers.
13:30We had no idea how long Michael would be in Germany.
13:34And I didn't want Carly taking my kids if something happened to me.
13:38If I had made Nina their legal guardian, Diane wouldn't have even mentioned it.
13:43But the bottom line is that the judge thought that we were disregarding the law.
13:49And that's why, from now on, we're consulting a lawyer when we do anything.
13:54This is us.
13:55This is us doing just that.
13:58Getting married just because a lawyer says it's a good legal strategy, it'd be like I'm using you.
14:08Well, I promise that is not the case.
14:15I would marry you anytime, anywhere.
14:22And I would love for marriage to be a natural progression of us building our lives together.
14:27I would love that.
14:28But right now, we've got to get your kids back.
14:30But if you don't want to get married, then we won't.
14:36Obviously, but all I ask is for you to listen to all the facts before you make that decision.
14:43How's that sound?
14:45I didn't even know Drew knew how to apologize.
14:48Okay, well, he does.
14:50And he did.
14:51You know, Drew feels awful for suggesting the surgery because it didn't get me back on the football field.
14:56And he knows that's what I wanted more than anything.
14:59I can't be mad at that.
15:02Good.
15:03Because the more I talked to him, the more I realized that I'm glad I had the surgery.
15:08Otherwise, I always would have wondered.
15:10But this way, I know.
15:12And the fact that I did everything I could, that I put it all on the field,
15:17I think it'll make it easier to face losing the future I imagined for myself.
15:23That is amazing.
15:28It's a little fast, but I guess it's good.
15:33It's just that yesterday, you just seemed so lost, and it hurt my heart.
15:40I was really lost when I left GH.
15:44I had no idea what my future would look like.
15:47But Drew actually helped with that, too.
15:51He offered me a paid position as a congressional intern.
15:55As if I would ever slip Drew a drug, then leave that drug in my car.
16:03Come on.
16:04If you're going to frame someone, put a little effort into it.
16:07Can you prove that Drew planted the ketamine?
16:10No.
16:11But I know when he did it.
16:12He sailed over here on the pretense of discussing Measure C,
16:16and he must have stayed after and planted the ketamine then.
16:21According to the reporters, the case hinges on Drew's testimony
16:25that the two of you had a drink the night he was drugged.
16:29We did, but did anybody see me put the drug in his drink?
16:32Or find my fingerprints on the bottle?
16:35No, because I didn't do it.
16:37So if we can get Drew to retract his statement,
16:41the DA's office wouldn't have a case.
16:45Correct.
16:46And Alexis said they would have to drop the charges.
16:47And then I would have my lawyers sue for false arrest.
16:53So how do we get Drew to recant?
16:57I let him use the ketamine name,
16:59and I make a public apology for my egregious lapse in judgment.
17:07So there is an offer on the table?
17:10No.
17:10There's an offer in the garbage, because I'm not doing any of that.
17:16Did you see me, Dad?
17:17I did.
17:18You're so strong, man.
17:19You flew across that pool.
17:21Hey, I bet you're getting hungry, yeah?
17:22I'm starving to death.
17:24Let me guess.
17:26PB&J?
17:28Yes, please.
17:29Care to join us for a PB&J?
17:31I would be delighted.
17:33Can Daisy have a sandwich, too?
17:35Oh, she's too little right now, bud.
17:37But once she's big enough, you can make one yourself.
17:39You ready?
17:40Yeah.
17:41All right, let's go.
17:42Say thank you to Amanda.
17:44Thanks, Amanda.
17:45Bye.
17:47You can't play football anymore.
17:58Don't you just, like, want to take a beat before rushing and jumping into something else?
18:02But I think I need that jump right now.
18:05You know, I don't have a purpose now, and I hate it.
18:07But this internship, it can give me something to focus on, you know, a way to move forward.
18:12Well, how long is the internship?
18:14And, like, does it go past summer?
18:16And what are you going to do about school?
18:17Okay.
18:18And are you going to move to D.C.?
18:20I have to ask Drew about all of that.
18:22But I definitely know that I don't want to move to D.C.
18:26I don't want to leave you.
18:27I cannot believe that after everything that's happened, Drew still refuses to see that he is the problem in Willow's life.
18:42If he loves her like he says he loves her, what does he get the hell out?
18:46I said that to him at the hospital.
18:48I'm guessing he wasn't very receptive.
18:50No, he just doubled down.
18:51He said that he knew that Hershey and I worked together to try to ruin his reputation.
18:57So now, if either of us crosses him, he'll take us both down.
19:01Oh, wow.
19:02Evil and efficient.
19:04Evil.
19:05I'm afraid the only way out of this is to tell Willow.
19:09To tell Willow that you and I slept together while he was falling in love with her.
19:15Well, that was my advice to you all along, Nina.
19:18And you had your reasons, but you shot me down every time.
19:21I know that we agreed that Willow needs me right now more than she needs the truth.
19:25But now I need to get her away from this man.
19:29So if you have a list of reasons why I shouldn't tell Willow the truth, then please tell me.
19:36I'm all ears.
19:39I just think that you need to be very, very, very careful here.
19:42Because if you tell Willow the truth now, after everything that's happened, she may not believe you.
19:52Or she may confront Drew.
19:54And he'll tell her that you're a liar and she'll believe him.
19:57Either way, you will have lost your relationship with your daughter.
20:02And you couldn't bear that after everything that we've survived.
20:05And if you're out of the picture, Nina, who will she have left to lean on?
20:12Just Drew.
20:15Then take it from someone who alienated and lost her daughter.
20:21Don't do it.
20:24Don't say a word.
20:25Yes, the truth is important.
20:28But the most important thing right now is to not lose.
20:36Willow Judge Herron often rules in favor of married couples over single parents.
20:41That's why I'm suggesting it.
20:42See, if the two of you get married, it demonstrates to her that no matter how your relationship began,
20:48it's something you're invested in.
20:50So what do you think?
20:51Well, Michael and I got married to try and keep Nell from getting custody of Wiley, and it worked.
21:01And with you and Drew married, and Drew's reputation restored,
21:05I think you stand a much better chance of getting that custody ruling amended.
21:10Wait a minute, reputation restored?
21:12Does that mean that Tracy's going to play ball?
21:14Not happily.
21:16But I think she's smart enough to know that she just doesn't have a choice.
21:21So, from Drew's point of view, this is a good plan.
21:25The public believes he's an innocent victim, and Drew gets to look magnanimous for letting his auntie off the hook.
21:31I was mildly impressed when Martin made the offer.
21:35You think there's a chance we can get Martin to switch sides?
21:38Oh, no. I don't see Martin doing that.
21:40You don't see Martin doing that because?
21:45Because I had him arrested for the crypt scheme, and all he wants now is to see me publicly humiliated.
21:57What do your lawyers think about your case going to trial?
21:59Well, they think that the incident a while back with Alexis will work against me.
22:06You mean the incident where you framed Alexis for drunk driving and then left town when the truth came out?
22:10Yes.
22:11But Alexis and I are past that, and I don't see why it's the court's business.
22:18So, looks like we're back to getting the charges dropped.
22:24I guess so.
22:26Well, to that end, I have hired a P.I. to track down Drew's body shot companion, a woman named Jacinta.
22:33And if you find her, she can tell everyone that he bought the drug and took it himself.
22:40Exactly.
22:41You have the right to feel the way you want to feel, and you can cut yourself off from people if you want.
22:47I did that before.
22:49It's just what I need to do right now.
22:51I still believe you should keep working at the Metro Court.
22:55That's a good job.
22:56It's helping me save up to my own place.
22:58And I'm not going to keep bugging you to, you know, play for a Carrento's coffee.
23:03I just thought it would be fun, and we actually need someone like you.
23:09I might be terrible.
23:11What?
23:11Terrible?
23:12I've seen you hit a ball halfway across the block when you were a kid.
23:16I remember that.
23:18I also remember that I didn't get to play very often because Lois and Gloria were always worried that I'd hurt my pants and affect my violin playing.
23:27Well, you don't have to worry about that now because you're an adult.
23:32You don't have to answer then.
23:35You're right.
23:37So, yeah, I'll play for Carrento's coffee.
23:40Hey, hey!
23:40Yeah!
23:41Yeah!
23:41Hey, talking to Martin, clarify things?
23:50Made sense.
23:53I feel like I can at least breathe again.
23:58There's hope.
24:00Absolutely, there's hope.
24:02I mean, I wish that we lived in a perfect world and we could have the wedding of our dreams, but we don't.
24:10And if we want to keep that hope alive, this is what we need to do.
24:14Nothing is more important than my kids.
24:19Okay.
24:21Let's get married.
24:23You're sure, but you don't feel pressured.
24:26I'm sure.
24:29Marry me.
24:35It's official.
24:37You and I are now teammates.
24:40The world has a sense of humor.
24:44Yeah, I assumed that I'd be on the bench for a while, but he's having me play in the next game.
24:48You know, the PCPD have always been at a bit of a disadvantage because cops' schedules, you can't have a consistent lineup.
24:57And that's why the PCPD and the DA's office is combined this year.
25:02Got it.
25:04Well, I'm going to need to practice a lot.
25:08The last thing I want to do is let down the team.
25:12It gets a little competitive out there, but you just do your best.
25:17You'll be fine.
25:18Thank you, Chuck.
25:21I know we got off on the wrong foot, but once Sunny Krinthus is gone, I'm sure we'll get along better.
25:30Stranger things have happened.
25:36Okay.
25:39Hey, any luck finding the owner?
25:42Uh, no.
25:43Hey, Sunny.
25:44Hey.
25:44I took her to the animal shelter where I volunteered to see if she's a microchip, but she doesn't, so I think she might be a stray.
25:50She is cute.
25:52The dog's a thief.
25:54Chio, why don't you make yourself useful and hold your tormentor?
25:59Let's, uh, take a picture of this cutie and post it online.
26:03See if anyone claims her.
26:05Are you talking about me or the dog?
26:07I think you are right.
26:19Ava Willow cannot take another loss.
26:22When we checked her out of the hospital, she was so fragile.
26:25And to make matters worse, we saw Michael and Sasha and Carly with the new baby, and they had cards and flowers and filled with joy.
26:35Oh, no.
26:35And then Drew made me lie and say that I had an emergency work meeting to keep me from going home with Willow and Drew.
26:44Sounds like she needs you now more than ever.
26:46Oh, sorry.
26:50It's Willow.
26:52She wants to meet me at the MetroCourt pool.
26:56Okay.
26:57Hey, well, she's getting out of the house, right?
26:59That's, that's a, that's a very good sign.
27:01Maybe she will get through this after all.
27:07How close are you to finding this Jacinda woman?
27:12Martin is insisting I make a public apology ASAP.
27:16It's hard to say.
27:17My P.I. just started.
27:19Okay, well, as long as I'm exonerated, I don't like taking the blame when I'm guilty.
27:24And I'm definitely not doing it when I'm not.
27:28Understood.
27:31Michael.
27:32How's Sasha and the baby doing?
27:34Both great, thanks.
27:35Curtis and I were just discussing how your uncle is demanding a public apology from me,
27:42painting him as a heroic survivor.
27:48Oh, if anyone likes to be seen as a hero, it's true.
27:54Curtis, what if you can't find that woman?
27:58Ah, nobody believes that Drew framed me, and I don't have any proof that he planted the ketamine.
28:08Ketamine?
28:09That's a horse anesthetic, isn't it?
28:15Oh!
28:15Looking for this?
28:22Sorry, it, uh, got away from me.
28:25Yeah?
28:26Oh!
28:26Not much of a softball player, huh?
28:30You weren't the first person to notice that today.
28:36Hey, I'm so sorry for being late.
28:38No, it's okay.
28:39I got your text.
28:39Kai and I were having a whole conversation about his future.
28:42Oh.
28:43Was it inspired by his follow-up with the surgeon?
28:47It was.
28:48He's never gonna play football again.
28:50Oh, no.
28:52Oh, I'm so sorry.
28:54Kai must need you now.
28:56And I know because he has you, he's gonna be just fine.
29:00Well, I hope so.
29:01He was so crushed by his follow-up, it just broke my heart.
29:04But he's such a good man.
29:07The first thing that he wanted to do after he found out that his dreams weren't gonna happen
29:10was to go thank Drew for even making the surgery happen in the first place.
29:14Well, that's admirable.
29:16But maybe, with the surgery behind him, maybe now Kai will no longer be so tied to Drew.
29:26Oh, he will.
29:28Because Drew's not letting go of him.
29:31Drew offered him a position as his congressional intern.
29:36I'm having a good day, Kai.
29:37Tell me that you're here to make it even better.
29:39I wish I could, Drew.
29:41I'm so sorry.
29:43Oh, no.
29:43I'm honored that you think I'm the right person for such a prestigious position,
29:48but I thought it over and I have to decline.
29:52Well, hey, look.
29:54Politics isn't for everybody.
29:56You know, I actually thought it would be a really good fit for you,
29:58but I guess I was wrong and maybe your interests lie elsewhere.
30:01You weren't wrong, actually.
30:03And the more I think about it, the more I see how politics could be rewarding.
30:07Okay, so I'm confused.
30:09Why don't you want to take the position?
30:11It's relocating to D.C. is not the move for me right now.
30:16I need to graduate from PCU.
30:17And more than that, I wouldn't have survived these last six months without Trina.
30:21So wherever she is, that's where I want to be.
30:25Oh, hey.
30:25Hi.
30:26Well, it's great to see you out and about.
30:31Well, how are you doing?
30:33I'm moving forward.
30:36Okay.
30:36All right.
30:37That's wonderful news.
30:40That's exactly what you should do.
30:42This is Wiley's.
30:50No, no.
30:51Wiley isn't here.
30:53I would have seen him if he were.
30:54I must have gotten the time of his swim lesson wrong unless Michael forgot.
30:58Wiley would be crushed if he did.
30:59Willow, Willow, sweetheart.
31:03Michael didn't forget.
31:05Why don't we just sit down for a minute?
31:08No, I can't.
31:09This is Wiley's favorite.
31:09I need to return it to him now.
31:15Dog, where'd you go?
31:17Hey.
31:17I was on the phone for 30 seconds.
31:18So how'd you manage to lose the dog again?
31:20Again?
31:20The first time was not my fault.
31:22Okay?
31:22Hey, hey.
31:23Hey.
31:24Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
31:26Oh, that's my hat.
31:29Well, maybe it's not the best idea to steal the police commissioner's hat on game day.
31:32Gross.
31:33Whose dog is that?
31:34I'm trying to find our owner.
31:36And if you can't find the owner?
31:40I'm going to keep her.
31:42Yeah.
31:42And I'm going to call her Outback.
31:46I wasn't allowed to play softball as a kid.
31:53My mom spent a fortune on braces and wasn't about to risk my getting hit in the mouth by a ball.
31:58What about when you got your braces off?
32:01And risk this smile?
32:02Not chance.
32:03No, I'm just saying you got such a great smile.
32:07You should use it more often.
32:09It's 2025.
32:11Are you actually telling a woman she should smile more?
32:15No, I was actually thinking of your mom's investment.
32:19Have a good game.
32:24Oh, listen, listen, um, keep your eye on the ball.
32:28Well, I can see how that might be a difficult offer for Kai to refuse.
32:37Did you try to talk him out of it?
32:38No, but I was tempted.
32:41But I just don't want to be that type of person.
32:43I'm not with Kai because he does what I want.
32:46He's a confident guy and he knows himself and I just find that attractive.
32:50Okay, yeah, well, that's been attractive quality, sure.
32:55I'm just going to support his choice, even though it's not what I choose for him.
32:59Well, does that mean that he's taking the internship?
33:02No, no, no.
33:03He's not moving to D.C.
33:04He wants to be with me.
33:07Smart man.
33:08I know, I'm so relieved.
33:09I just want him as far away from Drew as possible.
33:12I get where you're coming from.
33:14There's nothing more important than making sure the woman in your life that you love is a priority.
33:22But the terms of this internship, they're not set in stone.
33:25Like, we can make it exactly what you want it to be.
33:29What do you mean?
33:30It's flexible.
33:31I mean, yeah, I'd want you to come to D.C. with me a few times a year so you could see how things run on Capitol Hill
33:37and I could introduce you to some people, but you could be based in Port Charles.
33:41And that way, when I'm in D.C., that you could represent me here, interface with our constituents.
33:47It would be great hands-on experience for you.
33:50And you would be okay with me representing you here?
33:54Guy, I offered you this position because you are exactly the type of person I want on my team.
34:02You genuinely care about people and you want to make a difference, I mean.
34:08You're a natural fit for the job.
34:10Well, you know what? I'm starting to think I could be too.
34:15Okay. Yeah, I mean, thank you, Drew. I won't let you down.
34:20When do I start?
34:22I don't think it's a very good idea for you to go to the corner mains now.
34:26But this is a special situation. Wiley loves this T-shirt.
34:29No, I understand that, but, um, Christina, listen, I think we have something of Wiley's here.
34:37Are Wiley and Amelia doing okay?
34:39Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. And yes, they are.
34:44I was worried Michael might forget Wiley's one lesson.
34:46Well, he didn't.
34:49Wiley told us he swam across the pool in one breath. It was pretty cool.
34:53He, he, he's been working on that.
34:57Yeah, that's what he said.
35:01So, I'm just...
35:07Okay.
35:08Please tell the kids I...
35:11I will.
35:23Hey, Willow.
35:25Willow.
35:26Did you want to meet here because you were hoping to see Wiley?
35:30Of course.
35:31I know how desperately you miss them.
35:34I do.
35:36But you're not allowed to see your kids right now.
35:39I know.
35:40But if we just happen to bump into each other...
35:42Willow, Willow, you can't do anything that will make Judge Herron think that you are violating the court's decision.
35:49I know.
35:51You're right.
35:53I'm sorry it has to be like this.
35:56Me too.
35:59It won't be for long.
36:01Yeah, I...
36:02Right.
36:03I hope that you're right.
36:05I know I am.
36:07Because by the time the visitation hearing is scheduled, Drew and I will be married.
36:12Am I setting up our press conference or not?
36:23As if I would actually...
36:27Tracy, we talked about this.
36:31You don't have any other choice right now.
36:33Well, I seem to have misplaced my copy of the statement.
36:46Wonderful.
36:55One more.
36:56Yeah, Martin, I think what Tracy is trying to say...
37:03Go ahead and set up the press conference.
37:04That's not what I'm trying to say.
37:06Tracy, please, let's just get this over with.
37:09Okay, the less we have to do with Drew, the better.
37:12Okay.
37:14Set up your press conference and I will perjure myself reading your poorly written statement.
37:23On the next General Hospital.
37:32You may just need to swallow your pride and take it.
37:34I took Drew up on his offer.
37:36It was the best feeling ever.
37:38Are you willing to keep her out of your children's lives for good?
37:41It's going to be the second best thing that happened to me all day.
37:44Waiting will be worth it.
