General Hospital – Episode 6 (2025)
Transcript
00:00Do you know if Sasha has bought Daisy a christening gown yet?
00:05I'm not sure.
00:07Well, if she hasn't, I thought it would be special if Daisy were the one that you were christened in.
00:12Yeah, okay.
00:14Do you want to ask her?
00:17Maybe. Who?
00:19Sasha.
00:21Right. Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:24What about the menu? Have you guys decided on one for lunch after the christening?
00:28What?
00:30What's going on? You haven't heard a word I've said.
00:34Sorry.
00:35Don't apologize. Talk to me. What's going on?
00:42I'm so happy that Daisy's finally here, and I really want this christening to be special.
00:47I can't help but feel like I'm hosting this huge celebration with Wiley and Amelia and the rest of our family, and we're welcoming this new member.
00:54It feels...
00:56It almost feels cruel.
00:58It's cruel for whom?
01:02Willow.
01:04It's obvious that the kids miss her. They asked if she would be at the christening.
01:09As much as I hate the choices Willow's made,
01:13Mom, she's...
01:14Am I rubbing her face in it?
01:18Wait, Will.
01:19Listen.
01:19I'm sorry.
01:20I'm sorry.
01:20You and Drew are getting married.
01:26You just got divorced.
01:28Like...
01:28I know.
01:29I just got divorced, and I just lost my kids.
01:33Marrying Drew is how I'm going to get them back.
01:34No, no, no, no, no, no, you listen to me, all right?
01:38Look, the congressman's press conference begins promptly at three.
01:41Your job is to make sure that every one of those approved media outlets is present.
01:46I want them to hear every word.
01:48And another thing, if anything else goes wrong, you call me directly.
01:52Yeah.
01:53All right.
01:54Hey, just a man I want to see.
01:55I've alerted the media.
01:57I'm assuming that means you have good news for me.
01:59Tracy Cade, this is happening.
02:03We've got her right where we want her.
02:09Granny.
02:11There you are.
02:12Have you, uh, spoken to Gio yet?
02:15No, not yet.
02:16I still have so much I want to say to him, but I'm just trying to give him some space.
02:21Sweetheart, you need to have faith that he's going to come to you when he's ready.
02:24I really hope so.
02:26Were you looking for me?
02:29I was.
02:30I want to run something by you.
02:36Uh-oh.
02:36Should I get a lawyer behind your body?
02:39Not yet.
02:41So I received an offer from Drew, and I agreed to his terms.
02:49Now I need to decide if I should actually go through with it.
02:56Hey, Trina.
03:05Hi.
03:06Oh, what a nice surprise.
03:08What are you doing here?
03:10Well, I have something I need to tell you.
03:13I took Drew up on his offer.
03:16I accepted the internship.
03:17Oh, my God.
03:27I took it.
03:27How?
03:27How?
03:28Hey.
03:28How?
03:29How?
03:30How?
03:30How?
03:31How?
03:31How?
03:32How?
03:32How?
03:33How?
03:35Hey, Curtis.
03:52Jordan, hey.
03:54Looks like we had the same idea.
03:55Yeah, I'm shocked, actually.
03:58I can't believe I am seeing you here at the pool in the middle of the day.
04:03How is Aurora surviving?
04:05Without you chained to your desk.
04:07Pretty well, actually.
04:09Well, that's due to the magic of cell phones.
04:12Besides, what would be the point of having Aurora offices in a building with a rooftop pool if I didn't take advantage of it once in a while?
04:35Of course, you feel bad about what Willow's going through.
04:49You're a good man, and you don't want to see anyone suffer.
04:53And whatever decision you and Sasha make, that's up to you.
04:56But you have a new, beautiful baby girl, and that's something to celebrate.
05:02That day's pretty perfect, isn't she?
05:04Yeah, she's perfect.
05:05And you shouldn't feel guilty about her christening.
05:09You didn't do anything wrong, Michael.
05:10You went into court, and you fought for your rights as a father, and the judge made her decision.
05:16She decided that Wiley and Amelia were better off with you as their father full-time.
05:21And as their grandmother and a witness to what Willow's done, I'm relieved.
05:27Yeah, I saw my things that could have gone so differently.
05:31I was afraid they were going to.
05:34Me too.
05:36I just...
05:37I think I'm just having a hard time getting past the way Willow fell apart in the courtroom.
05:43How she was completely shattered when the judge gave her a ruling.
05:46I don't know, seeing her like that...
05:49I can't really get past it.
05:54You and Willow were in love for a long time.
05:57You looked after her, you protected her.
06:00That doesn't go away overnight.
06:02Yeah, but it's not just that.
06:03At Willow, she does love the kids, and she's still Wiley and Amelia's mom, and I want her to be.
06:08And as soon as she's ready and healthy.
06:11The real problem here is Drew.
06:15Michael and I got married when we wanted to fight Nell for custody of Wiley.
06:20If Drew and I go to court as a stable, loving, married couple, the judge will have to grant me generous visitation.
06:26So this is just a legal tactic?
06:29No.
06:30At least, not entirely.
06:33There's one big difference.
06:34Michael and I weren't in love the first time we got married.
06:41Drew and I are, and we intend to stay married, so we'll be telling the truth in court.
06:46Well, we know that.
06:50But the judge won't.
06:52I don't know if I told you already, but I am moving.
06:59No, you didn't.
07:00Congratulations.
07:02Oh, thank you.
07:03Yeah, taking this job with Sidwell gave me a bump in salary, so now I can afford a bigger place.
07:10One of the many perks of transitioning into the private sector.
07:13Mm-hmm.
07:13Even if it means you have to work with Sidwell.
07:18Yeah, and in order to maintain my cover, I've got to commit to the part.
07:25Anyone in my position would upgrade their living situation, so that's what I'm doing.
07:31I am so sorry.
07:33I didn't realize anyone else was in here.
07:36It's fine.
07:37I just...
07:38I just needed a minute.
07:41Long shift.
07:4316 hours.
07:45Sounds like you're long overdue for a break.
07:48Yeah.
07:49That's actually why I'm here.
07:52I'm trying to work up the energy and the, uh, the wherewithal to go home.
07:57But right now, I just can't find it.
08:00I thought that you were going to Drew's to turn him down.
08:03But now you're going to be his congressional intern and move to D.C.?
08:08No, no.
08:09I did go to Drew to thank him for the offer,
08:12and I did turn it down because I didn't want to leave Port Charles.
08:14Or you.
08:16And I thought that would be the end of it, but...
08:18Drew said the position has some flexibility, and he wanted to make it work for me.
08:24Okay.
08:25How so?
08:25Well, he's letting me work here from his office in Port Charles.
08:29Okay?
08:30I mean, I may have to go to D.C. once in a while, but I'm definitely not moving there.
08:35Okay.
08:35Well, that's great.
08:40Great because I'm not leaving town, or great that I got the internship.
08:45I mean, I'm happy that you're staying in Port Charles.
08:50Me too.
08:51And I hate not seeing you every day, and I don't want to do long distance with you.
08:55Yeah, I mean, I would have made it work if that was our only option.
08:58Okay, so we agree.
09:00But what about the internship?
09:01You okay with me taking it?
09:04I mean, I don't know how to answer that.
09:06I just want you to be honest, okay?
09:08I want to know how you feel about it.
09:10I don't trust Drew.
09:12And I think working with him is the biggest mistake.
09:17This is even better than I hoped.
09:19I mean, watching Tracy choke on her apology at the press conference,
09:23this is going to be the second best thing that happened to me all day.
09:25Wait, the second best?
09:26What do you mean second best?
09:27What could possibly be better than beating Tracy Quartermain in her own game?
09:31Willow agreed to marry me.
09:34Oh, okay.
09:35All right.
09:36You're right.
09:37That is great.
09:38And I would offer you my congratulations,
09:40but as you know, matrimony and I are no longer speaking.
09:42I know.
09:43I know you've had your challenges,
09:44but things with Willow and me, they're different.
09:47No, I certainly hope so.
09:48And regardless, it is the smart strategy in Willow's custody fight.
09:52It's not why I asked her to marry me.
09:53I'm getting her custody of her children back.
09:57Definitely moved up the timetable,
09:58but I proposed to her because...
10:00Because I love her.
10:02I love her with all my heart.
10:03Well, I am glad to see that you're looking forward to making it official.
10:07I am.
10:09And by the end of today,
10:10I'm also going to be looking forward to her sharing my last name.
10:16Quartermain.
10:17Drew has scheduled a joint press conference for us,
10:22and Martin Gray has said that if I show up
10:26and I also drop the cease and desist order
10:30that prevents Drew from using the Quartermain name,
10:33that Drew will refuse to cooperate with authorities
10:37and the ketamine charges will go away.
10:40Okay.
10:42So you just have to stand there,
10:45fake smile for the cameras,
10:46call Drew congressman Quartermain once or twice,
10:49and then you get to ride off into the sunset with your freedom.
10:52That sounds pretty good to me.
10:54What's the problem?
10:56My pride.
10:59It keeps telling me to let this ridiculous case go forward
11:02and force them to prove the allegations in court.
11:05Well, can they?
11:06No, of course not.
11:10I may not like Drew,
11:12but I certainly didn't drug him,
11:14although given the opportunity today...
11:16Granny.
11:18Just kidding.
11:19Not really.
11:20Just checking.
11:22Look, normally I would stay by your side
11:24and tell you to fight this thing to the end,
11:26but it's a matter of public record
11:29that you framed Alexis for drunk driving.
11:31Look, you could lose this case even though you didn't do it.
11:34I know.
11:36Drew is a complete sleaze,
11:39but he is offering you an off-ramp.
11:43You may just need to swallow your pride and take it.
11:45You're the co-chief of staff, not some intern.
11:53Why'd you have to work such a long shift?
11:55Someone had to cover for Dr. Park in the ER.
11:58So I volunteered.
12:00That's very admirable of you,
12:03and apologies if I'm overstepping here,
12:07but is it possible that you're taking on too much?
12:12You have like a million things to do.
12:14You could have assigned that to anyone.
12:17That's very true.
12:18But I'm actively avoiding going home right now
12:21because of everything that's going on there.
12:24Things not working out the way that you want.
12:27You could definitely say that.
12:28But if things are tough here and at home,
12:31maybe you need to distract yourself
12:33and not think about it either.
12:36You were always good at committing to a cover
12:37and making it so believable.
12:40I had to be.
12:41I couldn't afford to slip up back in Baltimore.
12:43You and I found ourselves in so many life-or-death situations.
12:50I knew you had my back, and that helped.
12:53And I always knew you had mine.
12:57Remember the Hoffman stakeout?
13:01Of course.
13:02Remember that?
13:02Yes.
13:04I watched you try to win that man's trust for months,
13:07and finally, finally he let you be a part of his drug operation.
13:11And it took forever.
13:13Very good.
13:14And then I finally managed to nail down
13:17when he was going to personally be there
13:18to make the handoff with his supplier.
13:22It took him a while, right?
13:24He didn't show for a long time?
13:25Yeah, yeah.
13:26It was three hours.
13:28And then you and I sat in your old busted-up car
13:31waiting for him to finally show up
13:34outside that old warehouse.
13:36An August heat wave in my busted vehicle.
13:39And remember, the A.C. went out that morning.
13:41Mm-hmm.
13:42I remember.
13:44I wasn't sure if we were going to die from heat stroke
13:49or a sweat-induced dehydration,
13:51but I just knew we were going to die in that car.
13:54We were dead.
13:55I know.
13:56I got it.
13:56If only your employees knew
13:59that their polished CEO with his fancy suits
14:04had to hide out in a parked car for hours
14:07in a sweat-soaked shirt stuck to his chest.
14:11I know.
14:11A parked, beat-up car with the A.C. out.
14:14Yeah, it was like I dove into this pool right here.
14:17Uh-huh.
14:17But eventually, eventually, Hoffman showed up.
14:21Yeah.
14:21He made the handoff.
14:22Mm-hmm.
14:23And remember, the chase.
14:24The chase was on.
14:25But we finally caught him.
14:27Yeah, we did.
14:28And, you know, he wasn't in the best of shape, was he, though?
14:31No, he was not.
14:32In fact, do you remember that pathetic look on his face
14:36when he realized that he had been played?
14:38Yeah, and it almost made all those hours in the heat
14:43with no A.C. worth it.
14:47If you and Drew get married right now,
14:49it's going to look like you're trying to work the system.
14:53The judge saw how devastated you were
14:55when you lost custody of the kids,
14:57and she's going to think that you're only marrying Drew
15:00to change that.
15:02But I wouldn't be.
15:03Well, we know that.
15:04But, see, the judge just wants Wiley and Amelia
15:08to have stability.
15:10So you have to make sure you don't make any decisions
15:12that might be seen as irresponsible or reckless.
15:17Martin, our lawyer, is the one who advised us to get married.
15:21He says it's a good legal strategy.
15:24And it might be.
15:27But, my darling daughter,
15:29you don't have to do it right away.
15:32Willow and I, we never even got a chance
15:35to figure out if we could solve the problems
15:37in our marriage because of him.
15:39If he had just backed off,
15:40not acted on his feelings,
15:42who knows what could have happened.
15:45That's the most sickening part, right?
15:48I mean, Drew's family.
15:50You two were close, you trusted him,
15:52and he betrayed you in the worst possible way.
15:55And as if that wasn't bad enough,
15:57then he goes and plays mind games with my son.
15:59It would make Wiley think even for a single second
16:03that I didn't want him.
16:03That's despicable.
16:05Then it's unforgivable.
16:06What kind of man does that?
16:07Someone with no moral compass.
16:10But at least for now,
16:11Willow is blind to it all.
16:13For now.
16:14That's gonna change.
16:18I get that your parents have had issues with Drew,
16:21but can't their grudge just stay between them and Drew?
16:23I love my parents.
16:25And what happens to the people I love matters to me.
16:28I get that.
16:29And I accept that your parents have had a bad experience with Drew,
16:32but Trina, he's been nothing but good to me.
16:36And I hope he always is.
16:38But it's Drew.
16:39And I have to question his motives.
16:42Don't you think it's just possible?
16:45I mean, just possible that Drew sees something in me?
16:48You did?
16:50I mean, Trina, he's giving me an amazing opportunity
16:52to get experience in politics at a national level
16:55without leaving Port Charles.
16:58I didn't even know that you weren't interested in politics.
17:01I didn't either.
17:03Because football was all I thought about.
17:05But now my future is wide open.
17:08And politics intrigues me.
17:10Okay, I like the idea of helping people
17:12and serving my community.
17:13So I'm interested in seeing where this goes.
17:17And maybe this is something I want to pursue long-term.
17:20Or maybe it's not.
17:21I don't know.
17:22But what I do know, Trina, is I want to do this.
17:25And all I'm hoping for is that I can work with someone
17:28that you don't like,
17:30but that won't come between us.
17:34Tracy actually agreed to say that.
17:36I think she's going to say anything she has to say
17:40to stay out of jail.
17:41What's really holding you back
17:44from moving forward with this deal, Granny?
17:47Really that worried about Drew calling himself a quarterman?
17:50Yes.
17:51Our name means something.
17:53And Drew doesn't deserve the name
17:55or the respect that comes with it.
17:57Okay, that's true.
17:58But Drew will never get what he truly wants from the name.
18:02Our acceptance.
18:03He may call himself a quarterman,
18:05but he'll never actually be one.
18:07Monica won't even let him in the house.
18:08So if the name is what Drew needs
18:11to drop these bogus charges against,
18:14you just give it to him.
18:15All right.
18:18I will face the humiliation
18:22that comes with the deal I made with the devil.
18:24Okay, great.
18:25Just let me go grab my things.
18:27No, you're not going with me.
18:29I have to be publicly embarrassed.
18:31Not you.
18:32Oh, come on, Granny.
18:33You really don't think I'd let you do this alone?
18:41You are a superstar administrator.
18:44You just spent 16 hours in the trenches.
18:46Everybody knows this place can't run without you.
18:49But you're no good to the patients or staff
18:52if you run yourself into the ground.
18:54So if you're not going to go home
18:56and go to sleep,
18:58you can at least
18:58go have a little fun.
19:03Fun?
19:04Yeah.
19:04Really?
19:05Yeah.
19:05I don't even remember what fun is like anymore.
19:09It has been a while.
19:11Well, we have to change that.
19:13We?
19:13Yes, we.
19:15And I know you know about the work-life balance.
19:17Yes, I know that that work-life balance doesn't exist.
19:20Oh, but it does.
19:22Yes, get changed and I'll show you.
19:24I don't know about this.
19:26Dr. Robinson,
19:28from what I hear,
19:30it is a beautiful day outside today.
19:35So you're going to go get changed
19:36and we're going to go have some fun.
19:40Listen to me.
19:41You were legally able to get your kids away from Drew.
19:44That may be the most you could hope for, right?
19:46No, Mom.
19:48Look, if there's any chance
19:49of Willow playing a role in our kids' lives moving forward,
19:51I've got to take Drew out of the equation.
19:53I'm all for that.
19:54I tried for months to get through to Willow.
19:57Hell, I even teamed up with Nina to break them up.
19:59You know how much we despise each other?
20:01Nothing we did could shake Drew's hold on Willow.
20:04Yeah, that was before Willow lost the kids.
20:08Up until now,
20:09Drew, he's been able to paint himself as Willow's hero,
20:11when in reality,
20:12he's the reason she lost Wiley and Amelia.
20:14Now, if I could just force her to see that maybe,
20:19or maybe it would finally be enough
20:21to make her walk away from him for good.
20:23It's fine if you want to marry Drew,
20:26but you're going to have to convince the judge
20:30that it is a real marriage
20:33and not just a legal strategy.
20:35How do I do that?
20:38You don't rush.
20:39You don't elope.
20:40You don't go to City Hall.
20:42You don't go to a drive-through chapel in Vegas.
20:47You have an actual wedding.
20:50You plan it ahead of time.
20:52You send out invitations.
20:53You make it real.
20:56The longer I wait,
20:56the longer I have to wait to see my kids.
20:58But the judge didn't even set a visitation hearing yet.
21:03There's no date.
21:04What did Martin say?
21:06That getting married was going to speed up the hearing?
21:09No, but if we're married,
21:11by the time we get the hearing,
21:13it'll improve my chances.
21:15Listen, please listen.
21:19Making a rash decision
21:21is not going to help you get your kids back.
21:26And I think it was after midnight
21:28by the time we left the station,
21:30so you definitely had your work cut out for you.
21:33Oh, I remember.
21:36And then you drove us to the Inner Harbor,
21:41and we sat on the roof of your car.
21:43Yeah.
21:44And we celebrated on the roof of my old beat-up car
21:48the fact that we had finally nailed off it.
21:51And we let the breeze from the water cool us off.
21:55I remember thinking that it was the best feeling ever.
22:01Because it was.
22:04I appreciate that you're worried about me, okay?
22:07But just like you,
22:08I have to make some choices based on my own experience.
22:12And I'm not naive, okay?
22:13I can handle myself.
22:14I know you can.
22:15And I've learned early on
22:16that you don't have to like someone to learn from them.
22:18But you liked her.
22:19Yes, I do.
22:22And maybe he'll give me some reason not to,
22:24and if that happens,
22:25it'll be a lesson I have to learn myself.
22:28But this is an amazing opportunity for me, Trina.
22:31And I'm going to take it.
22:32And now I have to go to a press conference for Drew.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:41Can I call you later?
22:44Yes.
22:46Kai, wait.
22:54I don't have to agree with you
22:56to be on your side.
22:58You've got this.
23:02Hi, babes.
23:12Hi.
23:16Oh, no.
23:19I appreciate the support,
23:20but did you have to notify the entire family
23:22so they can all witness my public humiliation?
23:26I didn't.
23:27I'm your moral support, and Chase is mine.
23:30I'm also here to support you, Tracy.
23:33It's going to be torture,
23:35but I've been through worse.
23:38Afternoon, Tracy.
23:39Yeah, well, that was a long time ago.
23:50Yeah.
23:50Yeah, well, a lot of things are different now.
23:54Yeah.
23:55For instance, you are a CEO.
23:58And mercifully, the AC isn't likely to go out in either one of our clubs.
24:04Mercifully.
24:04And look at you, former police commissioner, former deputy mayor, turned lobbyist.
24:12Got to say, Jordan, pretty proud of us.
24:14I mean, we, we've come a long way.
24:17But every once in a while, under the corporate buttoned-up exterior of yours,
24:22I get a glimpse of that guy I used to know in Baltimore.
24:26It's Trina.
24:32Excuse me.
24:32Oh, of course.
24:36Hey, honey.
24:37Hey, Dad.
24:38Are you busy?
24:39Never too busy for you.
24:41What's up?
24:42I'm at our gallery.
24:44Could you come by?
24:47So, let me get this straight.
24:49My workaholic husband made time to spend the afternoon at the pool today with Jordan.
24:55Now, does that look like a business meeting to you?
24:59Could be.
25:00Or maybe they just had the same idea we did.
25:04Curtis and Jordan aren't coworkers.
25:07They're not coming off of a long shift because they need to decompress.
25:11They used to be married.
25:13Can you honestly tell me you think that they're behaving appropriately?
25:17I don't think I'm the right person to ask.
25:19Look, I'm not entirely impartial here.
25:21What does that mean?
25:24Jordan and I used to date.
25:27I know you're right, and I don't want the judge doubting anything I do, but...
25:34It's killing me to be away from my kids.
25:40I get it.
25:41I relate to them.
25:43Marrying Drew may be my only way to get them back.
25:46Is Drew pushing you for an immediate wedding?
25:48He's not pushing me at all.
25:51We haven't even come up with a date yet.
25:54You can tell, Drew, yes, I want to marry you, but I just need a little bit more time to plan it.
25:59To make it right.
26:00And as your mother, I would love to give you the wedding that you have always dreamed of.
26:10We can plan it together.
26:13And while I want you to trust me, waiting will be worth it in the end.
26:20I already told Drew I'd marry him, but I'll think about the rest of the things you said.
26:28I need to go.
26:32Oh, okay.
26:35Um, call me if you need to talk.
26:38I want Drew out of Willow's life almost as much as you do.
26:49But she may never leave.
26:52So, are you willing to keep her out of your children's lives for good, if that's the case?
26:58And Drew will not be a part of Riley and Amelia's lives that is non-negotiable.
27:05But I do want Willow to be.
27:07Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me, can I have your attention for a second?
27:10I want to assure you that Congressman Quartermain is going to directly address the charges that have been brought against his aunt, Tracy Quartermain, for drugging him.
27:20As I'm sure you're all well aware, nothing is more important to Drew Quartermain than family, honesty, and loyalty.
27:28This press conference will begin momentarily.
27:31Do you think my grandmother should go through with this?
27:33I mean, I could still stop her.
27:35I'm a cop.
27:36I'm not a lawyer.
27:37But they did find ketamine in Tracy's car.
27:39She has means, motive, and opportunity to drug Drew.
27:43I know.
27:43And her colorful history doesn't help.
27:46Look, don't take this the wrong way, but I gotta ask.
27:49Do you think...
27:50No.
27:50Look, if my grandmother wanted to drug Drew, she wouldn't have met with him in public the night she did it.
27:55And then kept the ketamine in her glove compartment afterwards.
27:59I mean, my grandmother was already caught once for him and someone.
28:02She certainly wouldn't let herself get caught again.
28:04Well, in that case, it's an interesting, yet perfectly logical defense.
28:11You know, it didn't have to go this way, Tracy.
28:14There were so many times where you could have just cooperated and then...
28:19Well, then we wouldn't have any problems.
28:22Look at you.
28:23So proud of yourself for winning.
28:25Just so you know, glow is not a good color on you.
28:30Nor on you.
28:31And yet you've worn it many times.
28:33But the shoe's on the other foot.
28:38I guess that's proof that I'm a real court man.
28:41Think again.
28:55I didn't realize that you and Jordan were dating.
28:57It was a fairly brief relationship.
29:01Things got complicated pretty quickly and she wanted to take a step back.
29:07I bet I can guess why.
29:09I don't think this is helping you on why.
29:13Maybe we should go.
29:15Oh, absolutely not.
29:17I'm not going anywhere.
29:19I understand if you want to leave, but...
29:22Why should Curtis and Jordan be the only ones getting some pool time in?
29:26I wanted to help you relax today.
29:29Not add to your stress.
29:32You haven't.
29:33Do you know that Curtis didn't even notice that I was here?
29:35He must have clearly focused on something else.
29:41Hey, Congressman.
29:43Hi, it's good to see you.
29:45It means a lot that you're here.
29:46Well, I wanted to be here.
29:47You know, you've done so much to support me and I'm happy I can finally return the favor.
29:51In this way, in an official capacity.
29:53That's exactly right, as my congressional intern.
29:57Thank you again for giving me this opportunity.
29:59You earned this opportunity.
30:01What are you talking about?
30:03And then when this is all over, we can just turn the page and we can get back to what's important, making our constituents happy.
30:10All right, my Aunt Tracy made a grave error in judgment.
30:16Well, once she acknowledges that, we can just put this whole drugging incident behind us.
30:21We can move forward without any distraction.
30:24You ready for that?
30:26We can't figure out what to do about our marriage until I find Jacinda and pay her off to say that Drew hired her for sex and that he took the ketamine on purpose.
30:36Yeah, yeah, I'm ready.
30:41Well, I'm happy to hear that.
30:43I gotta go check out a couple things, but I will see you right after the press conference, okay?
30:48All right.
30:52Carl, we need to talk.
30:55No, we don't.
30:56You need to get through to Michael, because if you don't, Willow's gonna marry Drew.
31:06Willow?
31:09Hi.
31:12Yuri told me you were waiting.
31:16Well, the kids, they're not here right now. They're all with the nanny.
31:19He told me.
31:20And as much as I'd love to see them, that's not why I came.
31:26I'm here to see you.
31:31What's going on? Is everything okay?
31:32Um, not really. I was with Kai earlier, and he told me that he accepted position as Drew's congressional intern.
31:42I'm sorry to hear that. There are better people he could work for and learn from.
31:48But, honey, I don't want you to let the tension between Drew and me to affect your relationship with Kai.
31:55Now, from what I can tell, he's a good guy.
31:59And you seem happy when you're with him.
32:01Yeah, I am.
32:03Then don't let this stop that, okay?
32:05What's happening with Drew is between Drew and me.
32:09Okay? So just let it stay there.
32:12I know that you've been trying to find the escort that Drew was partying with and bring her back to Port Charles.
32:21What I don't understand is how this protects Mom.
32:25It's complicated, okay?
32:27I need you to just leave it alone.
32:31I can't.
32:32You need to tell me what kind of trouble Mom's in.
32:35I'm actually glad you brought me here.
32:38I mean, you can't fix your situation until you know exactly what you're dealing with.
32:43Right?
32:43Maybe.
32:45Maybe.
32:46Okay.
32:49I'm sorry.
32:50I need to take this.
32:52But then I'm going to grab something to drink.
32:54And what can I get you?
32:56Uh, I'll take a lemonade.
32:59Coming right up.
32:59Jordan, I am so sorry to interrupt.
33:12You must be completely exhausted after entertaining my husband all afternoon.
33:18He may not believe this, but I feel awful for Willow.
33:22I saw how devastated she was in court.
33:25But if Willow decides to marry Drew, that's on her.
33:27That's not on me and Michael.
33:28But, Carly, legally, Willow is entitled to visitation with her kids.
33:33We both know that sooner or later a judge is going to allow it.
33:37Okay, and if that happens, we'll deal with it then.
33:39No!
33:41Come on, Carly.
33:42Amelia's only three years old.
33:44And Wiley is at an age where he absorbs everything.
33:46Both of those kids have a lot of important years ahead of them.
33:51Where Drew could potentially be a role model or a huge influence in their lives.
33:57And the only way to change that is if Michael compromises now.
34:04And you can help make that happen.
34:07Just convince Michael to allow Willow to see her kids.
34:11Michael's not going to keep those kids away from Willow forever.
34:14Great, then we're just rushing his own timeline.
34:17That's all.
34:18Get him to go to court.
34:20As soon as possible.
34:22Have him agree to a generous visitation schedule.
34:26Make sure it's just with Willow.
34:28Make sure that Drew isn't allowed at those visits.
34:31Okay, Nina.
34:31I don't even think that's possible.
34:34If Willow can see her kids, I know that I can pry her away from Drew.
34:40And you, Carly, you have the power.
34:44Get Michael to see that it is in his children's best interest if he lets Willow see her kids as soon as possible.
34:53How are you feeling?
34:56Better.
34:57Thanks.
34:59I was just so, uh, shocked when the judge gave you full custody.
35:04I, I really didn't think that was going to happen.
35:08Everything just hit me all at once and I, I didn't know how to handle it.
35:12Yeah, yeah, the judge's ruling was a surprise to me, too.
35:17The whole process of going to court was really horrible.
35:21That was pretty awful.
35:23I never want to go through that again.
35:26And I, I don't want another court fight or for us to just keep tearing into each other.
35:33Whatever mistakes we've made, we're Wiley and Amelia's parents.
35:37They love us both and we need to set a good example for them.
35:41Um, we have to be better to each other.
35:44I agree.
35:45Good.
35:47That's why I want to be clear with you about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
35:52Okay.
35:54I'm not hiding anything anymore.
35:57I want to be completely transparent and give you full disclosure because
36:01our lack of honesty is what got us in trouble in the first place.
36:05Yeah.
36:08Drew and I are getting married.
36:10Anyone that has covered the Quartermain family in the past knows that we are a fractious group
36:19and that my aunt, Tracy Angelica Quartermain, is legendary for her questionable judgment.
36:29Eight husbands?
36:30Am I right?
36:30Don't let them catch you, granny.
36:34As a family, we have decided that it doesn't make any sense to waste the taxpayers' money
36:41to clog up the courts with what is essentially a personal matter.
36:45My aunt Tracy deeply regrets her actions, which were motivated entirely by her fury.
36:52And as a result, I am pleased to publicly announce that we will be settling this regrettable Quartermain
37:02family dispute in-house.
37:04And I have informed Port Charles Police Department that I will no longer be cooperating with their
37:11investigation into my aunt, and I have strongly encouraged them to drop the charges against
37:17her.
37:18And now, my aunt Tracy would like to address you herself.
37:26Thank you, Drew.
37:28And thank you all for coming.
37:30I'm going to read a few prepared remarks with regard to the reckless and reprehensible accusations
37:42levied against my beloved and honorable nephew, Congressman Drew...
37:50Drew Quartermain
37:54I can't do it.
37:59Oh, no.
38:00I can't do it.
38:01I have to tell you the truth.
38:03He did take the drugs.
38:04He did plant them in my car.
38:06He is an embarrassment and a disgrace to my family.
38:10Just ask his nephew whose marriage he destroyed.
38:13The congressman should be thrown out of office the same way his stepmother threw him out of
38:20the Quartermain mansion.
38:24On the next General Hospital, be a woman and step up.
38:34I can't do it.
38:35I have to tell you the truth.
38:36I think you're making a big mistake.
38:38I perhaps could still make it happen.
38:40That will be the beginning of the end of their relationship.
38:44I know you're used to getting your way, but not this time.
