00:00started the whole adoption process when the truth came out about geo and since then we've
00:05kind of dropped the ball we've already canceled two follow-up appointments with alexis well we've
00:11both been pretty busy with work absolutely but i think it's time to get the ball rolling again
00:17start looking for a child to adopt don't you where's outback olivia you done with your shift
00:26we just signed out what about professor dalton gone about a few minutes ago good so you can
00:33give me back that master key now yeah why would i do that because i can't let you break into
00:38dalton's lab i have to be the one to do it why good evening scarecrow
00:54you can't just storm into my office and make demands i was speaking to a potential guest
01:02well i wouldn't have needed to do that if you had said i told you i'm not giving you the keys to the
01:08car well then can you get me a decent drink this is garbage well i am fully aware of your importance
01:16as a resident here even my patience has limits so that's all he wants you to keep me happy
01:27and guess what i'm not happy
01:37kelsey and mcdonald you're a newlywed you haven't had time to change the name on your passport yet
01:42and vaughn's name is christopher nash correct chris and kelsey yeah it's sweet
01:48a golden couple with complimentary names people eat it up i hope so
01:55isn't this a security risk i mean you don't have a choice with a passport but why keep hard copies of
02:00anything because digital files can be hacked no matter how cleverly encrypted paper is easier to
02:06store and easier to destroy if it comes to that now as discussed you and vaughn will leave here
02:13separately you will meet in new york and travel to the five poppies a blissful honeymoon for chris and
02:19kelsey now this is a recon op you are not to engage you are not there to take down anybody what
02:26we want from you is a comprehensive report on the resort grounds the security setup and the staff
02:31movements that's it understood i will track down my mom and i'll let her know about the situation in
02:36australia well looks like i can save you the search here's my girl hi hi thank you for meeting me i
02:54know it's a little last minute dinner with my daughter how could i say no surprise you didn't have plans with
03:00ava is she busy at the gallery or honestly i have no idea what ava's up to tonight
03:09thank you for taking the time to see me i always make time for my extortionists
03:15cut to the chase what do you want now what i want alexis is to do you a huge favor
03:30does this huge favor have anything to do with saving me from going to prison for embezzlement
03:52not if you get caught but it will make it a lot less likely that you do so i take it you and rick
03:59aren't going to return the money that you extorted back to the casadine trust oh no god no no but i
04:06do think that our little arrangement has gotten overly complicated in fact the whole matter should have
04:13stayed just between the two of us from the get-go is that right unfortunately we have a third party
04:20muddying the waters and i don't know about you but i think we got to do something about that
04:27are you and ava going through a rough patch kind of do you want to talk about it
04:37rather talk about you tell me what's new and exciting in your life something old actually i've gotten back
04:46into writing really oh that's wonderful well when can i read something can i read something okay don't
04:54get too excited it's much too early for that i'm just jotting down ideas in my spare time i haven't put
05:00pen to paper in years so what inspired you to start writing again i don't really know why i ever stopped
05:10but when sam died i needed an outlet so i picked back up again actually came up with an interesting
05:18story idea after i was on this unexpected horseback ride okay i'm here what's up i didn't expect you to
05:27actually come when i texted you but uh listen i i needed to let you know why i wasn't at the pool
05:33is something wrong well i gotta get this mole checked out okay it's can you tell me how bad it
05:39looks it's right over here i think i can't really do it
05:43looks like a freckle yeah well you're not a professional okay cody i called oh sorry i didn't
05:54know you had a visitor no it's fine is the specialist coming yes dermatologist is on his way and i wanted
05:59you to know that i'm leaving for the night so nurse diana will take care of you that's great well have a
06:04have a great evening yeah you too thanks well i hope her seeing us together doesn't come back to bite
06:12us fine science i have much bigger things to worry about well good evening miss spencer to what do i owe
06:20the pleasure hey well um i'm done with work so i was wondering if you would like to join me for a nightcap
06:27at the bar well i'd love to give me a few minutes to finish up here and i'll be right there can't wait
06:37so now you know where to find her
06:43i'm so sorry chase i just don't think i'm ready to adopt i just think that right now my focus needs
06:50to be on repairing my relationship with geo i get that i do but
06:55geo hasn't exactly been receptive to your efforts i know and i am trying to give him this space and not
07:02push but i can't just give up right no of course not geo is your son but maybe while we're waiting
07:09for him to come around we can start our own search we've been told over and over again how the adoption
07:14process can be lengthy and all consuming which is why when we do it i want to be able to put my whole
07:20heart and soul into it and i just can't do that at the moment sir are you saying we can't adopt until
07:27you work things out with geo because we have no idea how long that's going to take no i am not saying
07:32that i i just don't want to bite off more than i can chew and also what i think it's important that i
07:41make progress with geo before we adopt not a lot just some he already thinks that i gave him up
07:49because i don't want him now if we if we adopt a child he could think that i'm trying to replace him
07:56i don't get that geo is the one that turned his back on you so if you leave the door open for him
08:01while moving i just don't want to do anything that could further drive geo away i need to break
08:08into the law because it was my idea to break into the lab now give me the key emma we've been over
08:12this dolan's expecting to see you front row center for his lecture which means i need to be the one
08:17who sneaks into his lab and looks for proof that he's testing on animals yeah and what if you get
08:21caught you could end up with the record and trust me that's not as glamorous as you think it is yeah well
08:26worst case it'd only be my first defense if you get caught it'd be much worse because you have
08:30priors and your grandmother would be furious yeah two separate coasts and two separate break-ins
08:37see that being the final straw and my grandmother might kick me out
08:42i even send me back home to my parents hey that can't happen
08:48look i don't want that either this cause is important and it's worth the risk to me
08:54i know it is which is another reason you have to let me do it
09:00i have a lot less to lose dante said you were in town
09:07then i assume he explained how british son contacted me wanting to know more about my daughter
09:14rocco's dante and lulu's son genetically perhaps but that young man is the last living connection i have
09:21to my precious printer i understand you must miss her a great deal only every waking minute
09:28and occasionally my dreams when she doesn't appear in them i i wake up feeling cheated
09:37oh i'm sorry i don't want your sympathy i don't deserve it my grief my anguish my torment must be
09:46shamefully similar to what i put you and your loved ones through when when cesar and i took robin
09:53and that i would never live down empathy can be merciless when you don't expect it
10:01and sudden kindness can be cruelly rewarded
10:03you know my bitter was coming back to me the night of the attack
10:11so i thought i would come back here and share her last steps
10:20before she suffered the injury that took her life
10:30the ghosts and i have have just been looking out of the water and remembering british final act of heroism
10:38i will have another drink sent up from the bar anything else yes why don't you tell our mutual
10:54friend that i would like to speak to him as soon as possible he's very busy i assumed as much but
11:00because he hasn't returned any of my phone calls i'm starting to get a complex
11:05have you told him that greta needs to go back to port charles for another exchange
11:10not yet what are you waiting for the latest data i received is incomplete and i can't do anything
11:16more with what i have so pick up the phone send a text whatever you need to do to get me what i need
11:22i'll pass that along yeah you do that
11:36hey hey what are you doing here i wasn't expecting to see you well i wanted to talk to you and the office
11:44said that i'd find you here okay well i'm glad you found me what's up i wanted to tell you in person that
11:49i'm gonna go to australia for a bit oh are you gonna see your dad yeah but i'm mostly going to
11:56see mrs walker do you remember grandma's friend i do we used to go to her ranch all the time yeah
12:02um i didn't know you two were in touch well we email each other back and forth it's it's actually
12:08really sweet but i received a message from her this afternoon that she fell and broke her hip
12:13oh god that's terrible i know and she doesn't have any family down there um and she needs help
12:20around the ranch so i'm gonna fly out tomorrow oh well how long are you gonna be gone just a few weeks
12:28just to you know find her a good caregiver i mean you know your dad could take care of that in five
12:33minutes with one phone call yes i know but i don't trust him to actually go check on her in person you
12:38know i want to go myself what about your internship with professor dalton and i know you worked really
12:44hard to get that i did but mrs walker she meant so much to lady jane so in a way it's like i'm doing
12:52this for her you know it's really kind of you and sudden what's really going on jocelyn
13:01jason and i were talking about brit today
13:10did he tell you he thought he saw her at de gaulle yeah yeah he did he did tell me that
13:20obviously it was his imagination but it is comforting to know others to think of my britta
13:27oh jason he really cared for her i believe that so it's no wonder he thinks he saw her
13:36i see her quite often myself in crowded rooms on the street she's with me all the time
13:46our children are always part of us
13:49i just wish i had been a better mother
14:00i was so hard unwritten so consumed with her father and all we did was demand more from her
14:06convince her to be better work harder but at what cost didn't you two you had a kind of good
14:13relationship though at the end there right we did but it took me far too long to figure out how to
14:19love her i wasted so much time with cesar time i should have spent with my daughter she's the one
14:27who deserved my love and attention phase on he certainly did not no no one knows that better than we
14:37not seeing that sooner was one of my regrets and i have many
14:44as do you i'm sure so many
14:48i'm sorry what are you referring to something specific your daughter of course just as
14:58i neglected my britta by devoting myself to cesar
15:03you abandoned your robin because of your devotion to the wsb
15:07nothing's going on mrs walker is in trouble and she needs help and she doesn't have anybody else
15:15really in all of australia including your father she has no one come on jocelyn what's really going on
15:25okay okay fine i was thinking about some of the stuff you said about vaughn and maybe
15:31it's not the best idea what made you change your mind just some of the stuff you said and
15:40i like him i do i like spending time with him but you know he is older and he is more serious
15:51about things than i am so you're quitting your job and you're leaving town over a guy no no no
15:57my job isn't isn't anything close to what i thought it was going to be like okay and as for vaughn
16:07i don't know maybe putting physical distance between us would help me figure out what i want
16:14and it's been a really rough year i know it has and that's a very grown-up mature decision you know
16:25taking a step back to reevaluate your choices it's a good idea so you're okay if i go no i'm not okay
16:34i'm gonna miss you like crazy even if it's for a couple weeks but of course i support you and i'm
16:40so proud of you i'm so proud of you thank you yeah
16:49uh well i gotta go because i have to start packing oh you're going on a trip where to
16:59so what's your newest story going to be about is it a romance like your last novel or
17:03maybe a courtroom thriller or maybe a western this time molly hey come join the celebration even
17:12you have to be off the clock by now why the hell not that's the spirit a beer for the lady please
17:20if you don't want my company i'll move excellent idea great great
17:25enjoy your book or literature whatever sorry what does that thing play anyway no no no no
17:38classic it started out as a romance but i've changed my mind the heroine realizes she does
17:46not need a man to be happy oh wow whatever you write i'm gonna be happy to read it thank you
17:52but like i said it's a while out and please don't tell anybody especially ava thought of her
17:58knowing just okay don't worry i don't anticipate that i'm gonna be confiding in ava anytime soon
18:05dad i don't want to tell you how to live your life but but you can do so much better than ava
18:12hi molly hi hello rick hi am i interrupting no no not at all are you are you here for dinner i was
18:23supposed to meet a friend from work but she bailed on me so oh but i'm glad i ran into you because i
18:29have a quick question if you don't mind it'll only take a second i promise no i uh should check my
18:35voicemail so you guys take all the time you want uh so uh what can i do for you i have what's known
18:47in medical circles as an aphelis is that bad it's a freckle i told you you were guessing so was tracy
18:58i mean this is all molly's fault she made believing that i was i was dying okay molly was just mad at
19:03you it's still not a very nice thing to do to a person especially since i'm doing her a favor
19:08seducing ava away from her father okay molly doesn't know that maybe we should just forget the
19:15whole thing i mean what's the point in doing this if molly and i aren't even friends anymore gallantry
19:23i don't do gallantry how about for an extra 10 000 done okay however in exchange for this bonus
19:30you're gonna have to work much faster i take it rick has become a problem your ex-husband
19:40is driven by his personal animosity for you and that kind of emotion-filled decision making
19:48that makes me uneasy why it's not like you and i are friends no i'm under no illusions about that
19:58my point is i can see this with a clear head rick can't he refuses to see the risks and not just to
20:06you but to all of us and if he keeps going which he will it will blow up in all of our faces unless we
20:13do something to change it and uh what do you propose we do it's very easy just one final payment
20:22of 1.5 mil do you think rick is going to go for that it doesn't matter if you and i work together
20:30rick will no longer have a say in any of this
20:33take it rick won't be seeing a dime of that money nope you will transfer it to an account only i have
20:42access to and once that's done it's all done no more blackmail no more embezzlement no more rick
20:50i am not exaggerating when i tell you that one more payment is too big of a risk
20:55so why don't we just close up shop now come on nobody's gonna notice somebody already has noticed
21:01laura is asking questions well if laura happens to notice that the account is off by one tiny little
21:08decimal point and you just tell her that you made one final investment even if i agree to this plan
21:15what guarantee do i have that you aren't going to come back for more and more and more
21:20that's a good question and this is a very good answer thank you so much for representing willow
21:31for doing a pro bono i feel for willow yeah you might feel differently in a minute
21:41why what happened she ignored your advice and went to see michael oh my god
21:47i take it it didn't go well it did not so my question is do you think this will count against
21:54her oh well that depends is there security footage of her melting down in her wedding dress again
22:00there is not good well not knowing the details i mean the visit even a bad one probably won't do any
22:10more damage but please you have to convince her to take my advice next time yes i will do my best to try
22:16to get her to obey the judge's ruling that's the bare minimum look she else to be warm generous
22:23loving kind basically she just has to model her behavior after you
22:29please well no i mean it i mean it in order for willow to impress the judge she has to be a lot more
22:36like you elizabeth
22:40i get that you're concerned about geo but we can talk to him he won't talk to me i'll talk to him
22:47i will make sure that he knows that we're not trying to replace him i don't think that he'll
22:52believe you because of your association with me okay then how long do you want to put our plans on hold
22:59what are you talking months
23:03years it's hard to say it kind of all depends on geo
23:10look come here i am sorry i'm sure it sounds like i am prioritizing geo over starting our family but
23:20it's all a matter of time and timing and adoption is a huge decision yeah a decision that i thought we
23:29already made together unless unless what unless everything that's happened with geo and did it
23:38change how you feel about adoption starting a family something you don't want to do anymore
23:44i'm already alienated from most of my family there's no reason for you to risk damaging your
23:50relationship with yours too i'm not a child okay i'm over 21 if my grandma my parents get upset with
23:56me for doing what's right then fine i'll find a way to survive on my own how i'll get a job and i'll pay
24:02my own tuition at the risk of sounding like a total hypocrite i strongly advise you not to turn your
24:08back on your back on your own family oh you do sound like a total hypocrite except those circumstances
24:16are completely different my family lied to me so families lie to each other yeah not like mine did
24:23but you you have a a good relationship with your family
24:29i need you to promise to keep this between us okay sure i miss my family
24:41before i found out the truth i loved lois i thought she was the coolest aunt ever
24:48do you miss the cues
25:00even wrong
25:04i miss those conversations with ned about music and as mad as i am at brooklyn
25:13i miss her too why don't you reach out to him i'm not ready to do something like that and i'm not
25:23sure i ever will be my point don't be so quick to write off your family because being apart from them
25:32it hurts like hell wow ben look how big you are
26:02oh but isn't the big boss himself how nice of you to finally call me back
26:12yes we do we have a huge problem you're not entirely wrong
26:18did i abandon robin yeah did i prioritize the wsb ahead of my own daughter time and time again
26:29do i regret it always take comfort you were shortchanging your daughter for the greater good
26:41at least in theory yeah i would like to think that i did some good when i was working for the wsb but i
26:48tell you the older i get the less i can justify some of the things i did as an agent even if it was my
26:57duty that's how they do it isn't it the wsb lose an idealistic young people with the promise of saving
27:06the world but it's just like any other business all about money and power eventually you can't tell the
27:12difference between the altruists like you and the opportunists like you i mean your assessment of the
27:20wsb is it's a it's a bit of an oversimplification let's say but it still bears the ring of truth
27:28if you could go back to your younger self and talk to her that ambitious driven young woman
27:41you wanted to make a difference in the world what would you say to her i'd say choose another job
27:48because this one is gonna cost you more than you can bear to lose
27:55you've definitely made inroads with ava and the momentum might be shifting in our favor so we have
28:03to push our advantage tonight would be a perfect opportunity and what might that be well i talked
28:08to my mom's assistant she said that ava is over there at my mom's office right now so you have to
28:14hurry up and get yourself over there so you can bump in her and why would i just happen to be at your
28:19mom's office are you always in trouble with the law no well i thought that's how you and molly bonded
28:26i had a bad couple of weeks okay i'll come up with some non-criminal legal questions something about
28:36illegal ish card game fine whatever just do that and then after that do your charm thing and suggest
28:45you and eva get a drink eva has never met a martini she didn't want to swim in okay fine i'm on my way
28:54christina um do you know why molly's mad at me molly's just she's been super sensitive and moody since
29:04she broke up with tj so whatever it is she's doing it i'm sure it has nothing to do with you really
29:10it felt pretty personal
29:17as soon as the last payment lands in my account this key is yours it opens the storage space where
29:25i stashed rick's car you get rid of the car i get rid of the security footage from my garage and
29:32voila there is no more proof that christina tried to kill me which means i can't blackmail you anymore
29:40and neither can rick even without the evidence rick can still cause problems for both of us in case you
29:48haven't noticed he's pretty vindictive well his hands are very dirty from the blackmail he can't go to the
29:55the cops now i'm not saying he's gonna like it but there's really nothing he can do yeah well i think
30:00you're underestimating his imagination i think you're underestimating mine and your own alexis if we do this
30:10we can finally put an end to all of it okay you got yourself a deal
30:17i haven't changed my mind about adoption or having a family with you are you sure i promise
30:28i want nothing more than to raise a child with you eventually eventually chase i just mean that when
30:37we do i hope that our child will not only have two loving parents but also an adoring big brother
30:44yeah that's what i want too i'm just not in the right place so i know it's a lot to ask but
30:54are you okay waiting yeah i can wait thank you oh shoot
31:03it's the station i gotta take this chase i love you i love you too
31:14you've made your point the optimal outcome is stopping dalton without wrecking my relationship
31:22with my entire family then it's settled you'll go to dalton's lecture and i'll uh break into
31:28dalton's uh deal deal oh hey emma can i talk to you for a second anything you have to say to me
31:39you can say to geo actually i'm gonna leave you to it you have 30 seconds
31:50something unexpected came up so i'm going to australia for the next few weeks
31:55i've already emailed professor dalton and i've resigned as his assistant of course you did
32:02you're never gonna stick it out because that job didn't mean anything to you
32:05well i know it means a lot to you and i also know he's probably going to reach out to you and
32:11offer you the position but emma i'm telling you do not take it what about you like what would you
32:23say to yourself if you could speak to your younger self i would tell her not to fall in love with
32:28megalomaniacal danish terrorists that is solid advice at any age really i would tell her that nothing
32:39matters more than our children that they have to be held on to and loved above all others with all of our
32:54heart for as long as we possibly could you know just something like that probably
33:06yeah
33:08you're really okay with jocelyn just taking off to australia like that well i had my reservations
33:24but she has a really good reason for going which includes putting some distance between
33:28her and the guy she's been seeing oh i thought uh you were happy she was dating after dex yeah but that
33:34was until anna told me some not so great things about vaughn i'm surprised anna would care yeah i i
33:42don't think she would have if vaughn hadn't also been trying to date her granddaughter emma like a
33:49supposedly he was pitting jocelyn and emma against each other oh well sounds like she's good to be rid of
33:56them right oh speak of the devil it's anna something about jocelyn again this is new information okay um
34:09great i'll meet you there
34:14what was that about anna's on her way over she has something to tell me about jocelyn
34:20uh you're not leaving are you yeah i thought i'd head home no please stay we truly have ordered so
34:29much food there's even a chocolate souffle on the way um no i don't want to ensure it oh no no
34:35she wouldn't be besides i know that you can't say no to a chocolate souffle
34:43you're right i can't oh yay all right oh thank you
34:50can i get you something to drink yeah that would be great all right we'll get the wine list
34:55i'll give you the account information once it's finalized great i cannot wait for this to be over
35:02i feel exactly the same way come in hey i hope it's okay that eva
35:09fancy seeing you here because i've done all i can until i get more data
35:18well until it gets here i need a little more freedom
35:21this call wouldn't even let me take the car out it's not good for me to be cooped up like this
35:29no i'm feeling fine i'm just
35:33it would help if you would return my phone call every now and then
35:36okay great thanks good night
35:50hey i know i'm not on duty tonight but do you guys need extra help
36:07all right well i'm coming in anyway i'll see you soon
36:22geo how's it going i'm good you i'm great
36:30not only are you bailing on the job that you stole from me but now you're ordering me not to
36:38take it even out here you're gone hey i still haven't found any proof that dalton has been animal
36:43testing okay and if you want to try then that's fine just don't work for him why should i listen
36:48to you because he's a total sleaze he made moves on me several times and i have no doubt that he will
36:55do the same to you i didn't know he was that bad yeah me neither but that's partly why i'm quitting
37:01and going to australia to get space from the guy i know you don't like me that's fine but i am really
37:09trying to do you a favor here stay away from dalton sorry about that work that's okay i hope you don't

37:26about vaughn yes oh i'm just so grateful that jocelyn listened to me you know i wasn't sure at first
37:33she can be really stubborn she totally gets that from her dad obviously but being headstrong is not
37:41such a bad thing yes but it can get you into trouble sometimes and i just hope i can prevent jocelyn
37:48for making the same mistakes that i made when i was her age well with you to guide her how could
37:53she go along oh in many ways so many ways well from where i'm sitting jocelyn has a remarkable
38:04amazing woman for a mother yeah but you're biased absolutely
38:10yeah i'll look over the statement when i come in the station i'll be there tomorrow yeah okay
38:23on the next general hospital it's easier for you to lash out at me than to admit that you're wrong i
38:28think i know all my little girl is targeted i have to figure out how to undo all the damage
