00:00oh nice moves dr cannon why thank you nurse corinthos how about you i assume you're here to
00:14rehearse too honestly right now i'm just grateful to have a distraction from what
00:22your job no uh my marriage i won't be nurse corinthos much longer i can't figure out for
00:31the life of me why you and aurora aren't going full court media press to take down drew
00:44uh come in
00:45oh is this an okay time yes just perusing the latest developments of drew's drunk field night
00:56out on the town on the town on a bar top on a woman who for once is not his nephew's wife
01:06you know i have to admit when the story broke i i had to wonder is this your handiwork
01:15yuri said you wanted to see me down here how'd you even get on the property
01:19i drove over in my new boat of course you did how nautical of you i figured i'd be welcome
01:26though considering you and i are now working together to take down sunny hey sweetie how
01:33was rehearsal it was so fun yeah i'm glad you had a good time i'm sure your daddy was proud to see
01:39you daddy couldn't see me well it was a closed rehearsal they wouldn't let me in you know kids
01:48get too excited when their dads are watching yeah but before rehearsal do you play the violin for me
01:56and daddy to hear me sing i know i'm right cody i just need to find okay wait wait lulu slow down
02:05you're telling me you think that the baby that brooklyn got pregnant with that summer
02:10don't taste me you think that that baby is is geo
02:35so
02:45did i hear my name yeah yeah we were just talking about what happened at the queues
02:52with rocco yeah i figured lulu i'm sorry about what happened i should handle it differently
03:00i'm just glad rocco's okay that's a good thing that geo got rocco back to the boathouse
03:06if he hadn't cody wouldn't have found them and gotten rocco help
03:09it was definitely a team effort but what matters is you were looking out for rocco
03:14as long as rocco's all right
03:20should we get some coffee yeah let's do it
03:29mother son coffee day
03:32geo played uh twinkle twinkle little star on his violin and you performed beautifully
03:40can't wait to see you perform at nurses ball okay time for you to go tackle that homework
03:47bye thanks dad
04:04she's a mess yeah i really can't wait to
04:08see her perform at the nurses ball do you know what her act is i i don't have a clue
04:17how are you how you doing you're not overdoing it are you no doctor again says i need to stay
04:23active so donna's the best medicine good well i hate to ruin your good mood but since you're here
04:33there's something i need to tell you should i take my pills you should keep them handy
04:39we got a court date for michael's divorce and custody hearing i have a court date for my divorce
04:45hearing which is also a custody of hearing so when is this happening june 2nd well that's soon
04:54i know i figured it would be a long way off since michael's still in germany for treatment but
04:59the date's on the calendar so i guess it's time to face it all when we talked last time you were
05:05worried that a judge might find you and drew's relationship unfavorable is that still the case
05:11no i have complete faith in drew even with you know drew was set up a judge will see that
05:20and drew will do whatever he has to to protect me and my children
05:25how far are you planning on pushing this i thought i made myself very clear i'm gonna
05:29give you what you want i'm gonna run sonny corinthos out of town measure c is gonna pass
05:35and the city's gonna take over his peers and i have ezra boyle running against laura for mayor
05:42in the anti sunny ticket ezra boyle is an idiot he's also a slob i don't understand why he's
05:50ezra boyle is an idiot he's also a slob i don't understand why he of all people
05:58is a piece in the getting rid of sunny puzzle getting ezra elected is going to eliminate
06:04sunny's hold on the mayor's office drop it drop him we can get measure c passed without
06:11removing laura with the exception of a couple of very obvious blind spots laura's a very good
06:17mayor but she's clearly soft on sunny so as long as she's in office sunny has got a foothold
06:25in the city so no i'm sorry tracy if you truly want sunny gone mayor collins has got to be
06:32collateral damage whoever tried to take drew down they seem to have failed though
06:41i wouldn't be too sure about that people are not buying his story about being set up
06:48he seems to have a lot of support not really if poor deluded willow might believe him that doesn't
06:54mean anybody else does just think portia drew could be out of office and out of your hair in
07:01a month as wonderful as that sounds i highly doubt it we'll see the people of port charles
07:09could be downright puritanical when it comes to passing judgment on others here's hoping
07:15because right now drew's putting more pressure on me than ever i just don't get it because you
07:21should want to nail drew to the wall as much as i do i do but i had a conversation with portia
07:29and she persuaded me not to sensationalize drew's story no no no no drew did that to himself when
07:36he went on a ketamine bender and did body shots off of a woman in a club that was full of people
07:42with cameras well even so portia thinks it'll make aurora look biased no that doesn't make
07:49any sense because drew has a financial stake in aurora so doing negative coverage on him
07:56shows the opposite of bias my feud with drew is not exactly a secret no that's why i just
08:02don't get it because portia knows better than anyone what drew has done to you i just don't
08:07understand why she wants you to go easy on him
08:14portia's being blackmailed
08:20thanks for sticking up for me with lulu you didn't have to do that just pointing out the
08:24truth you were looking out for rocco he's alive because of you because cody because
08:29of both of you and if lulu can't see that it's her problem and dante's things have been really
08:36tense since the night of the party i i don't know how much longer i can keep dodging olivia
08:41i just hate the idea of her being angry with me everything's gonna go back to normal soon
08:47okay i promise brookline and gaio come on gaio that's us
08:57so are we gonna see the two of you guys at the nurse's ball oh yeah well when is it
09:03well this guy is gonna knock your socks off well i don't know about that i do you are a star
09:09yeah he's all right see ya
09:18i rest my case
09:21drew is already disappointed that i haven't come through for him more than i already have
09:27and his latest demands they're impossible and ridiculous he is impossible and ridiculous
09:34what is his majesty insisting on now no negative coverage on him in all aurora media outlets
09:41that's one good luck with that what else he wants me to get curtis to support the yes on c referendum
09:49and also wants me to get curtis to endorse ezra boyle as mayor over laura are either of those
09:56things even remotely possible no i don't give a damn about measure c and if i all of a sudden
10:05have some sort of strong interest about the fate of the esplanade curtis is going to get suspicious
10:11and true thinks that everybody is as easy to manipulate as willow well as curtis's former
10:16friend he should know better and curtis and laura are friends he supports what she does as mayor
10:23he's not going to go against her everybody knows that drew certainly should maybe he does know and
10:29he just doesn't care and there's no way that curtis would support a cretin like boyle even
10:37if laura wasn't running well i'm sorry to add to your already full plate but you should know
10:47drew appears to be making demands of trina as well you think that porsche is being blackmailed
10:57by drew why that's what i suspect it's the only thing that makes sense and you suspect that
11:03because porsche asked you to have aurora go easy on drew well i mean she's supporting
11:11all of his programs at gh now at first the whole thing just seemed innocuous
11:17but then i asked myself why is he only asking porsche to support his sports initiative
11:22she's co-chief of staff as far as i know he never even approached terry well the pediatric sports
11:28initiative is a good program i know and at first i thought porsche was being objective and
11:34acknowledging the program's merits and that's the thing so if you look at each of them separately
11:41you know you can explain it all the way yeah but all together all together the only thing that
11:46makes sense is that drew has leverage over my wife you you know i found her in drew's house
11:53oh why did she say she was there she said she was there to try to talk drew out of pressuring
11:58kai and having his surgery well that's not exactly unreasonable well then she tried to
12:04mitigate the situation by saying if kai's surgery went well then it would show that drew had good
12:10intentions all along let's see that doesn't make any sense at all because i really don't believe
12:15that porsche would ever willingly support drew so then you too think that he's holding something
12:23over her i don't know but if he is drew's to blame unfortunately i'm sorry i've already said
12:30too much i should have this conversation with porsche okay well you know where to find me
12:37if you ever want to talk i do i just can't believe how much damage drew has done it just
12:44seems like everything rolls off that man's back nothing sticks to him this latest scandal
12:49should have been enough to send willow running but somehow it's just bonded her closer to him
12:58and it's gonna cost willow her children don't get me wrong it's it's not like i don't
13:06have regrets over the way things ended with michael i do i know i made choices that weren't
13:11fair to him most people in relationships can say that at one time or another maybe
13:17and i am genuinely sad about how michael and i ended things but i know i'm finally where i'm
13:24supposed to be with drew since we're talking about this if you don't mind my asking go ahead
13:34where do the kids fit in all this what do you mean okay i mean in a perfect world
13:41what would you want after the divorce is settled what is the ideal scenario for you
13:49and your children well michael is a good father but i want my kids with me and in an ideal world
14:02in an ideal world michael would understand that our children belong with their mother
14:11and with drew remind me when was laura soft on sunny as a mayor
14:21even the appearance of impropriety is unacceptable i'm sorry are there photographs of laura doing
14:28body shots off the belly of a hooker on top of a bar somewhere out there that i haven't i was set
14:34up laura protected our resident mobster from the revised plans for the esplanade the only reason
14:40that she called the referendum really was because she was cornered i don't like it any more than you
14:46do but it's not laura's fault that law enforcement is so incompetent that they haven't put sunny
14:53behind bars why are you protecting sunny because essentially that's what you're doing when you're
14:56sticking up for laura laura's my friend and she's lulu's mother and sunny has been a plague
15:03on this city and my family her family for decades sunny has to go i couldn't agree more sunny has
15:11to pay for the pain that he's caused all of us that's why i agreed to work with you tracy
15:15we have a common goal a common enemy but i do need to get really clear on the terms of this deal
15:25how can they schedule a divorce hearing when michael's out of the country
15:28i had diane petition the court for the earliest possible date carly no you can't sunny michael
15:35served willow with divorce papers before the fire okay this is exactly what he wanted when he could
15:40be here and stand up in person not now his wish is clear when he filed that paperwork all i did
15:46was get a date on the calendar when is it june 2nd look we thought we were safe until august we
15:55did but an earlier date popped up and the court slotted us in but michael's not here please carly
16:01tell me you didn't ask michael to cut his treatment short in germany for this no i wouldn't do that
16:07i'm gonna handle it myself well that's a mistake
16:10welcome how you feeling
16:19i'm good i cleaned every inch of my mom's house twice and i'm basically grounded until i'm 54
16:27but i'm good glad to hear it not about the grounded part
16:33geo i wanted to apologize i put you in a really bad position that night and i'm sorry
16:40you can't take the blame i'm the adult i i should have you didn't make me play that game you didn't
16:47force me to get drunk and you didn't even know danny and i were at that party and when i got
16:52sick i begged you not to call my parents and i told my dad all of that he's still mad though isn't he
16:58yeah but he needs to understand that you helped get me back here and i'm i'm really grateful to you
17:06for that i uh i just wish i could have done more you helped me and it stinks that you're being
17:15blamed none of this was your fault and i'm so sorry exactly what kind of demands is drew making
17:25exactly what kind of demands is drew making on my daughter fortunately not the same kinds
17:32he's making of you but you can imagine my surprise when trina stopped by the gallery
17:37this morning with a camera following her every move for drew's documentary you know about it
17:44yeah yeah drew's guy um josh he wanted to be in the operating room when kai was having his surgery
17:56please finish telling me what happened with trina well to his credit this josh was quite polite i
18:02mean he really did do his best to seem invisible you know but but he was following her around with
18:08that camera yeah exactly and trina was lovely of course as always but i could tell that she was
18:14very uncomfortable having a camera in her face you know so i i shooed josh away thank you for that
18:22yeah of course anyway that's when trina told me that that drew is behind this documentary
18:28and since he is paying for kai's surgery she feels like she has to participate in the project
18:34because she and kai are are sort of together now she feels like it's the least she can do
18:39drew is so good at that convincing people to do his bidding and making them feel like it's their
18:45idea and now drew has my daughter in his tentacles just just just a little i'm gonna keep
18:52an eye on it no no it's more than just a little he's pressuring trina and me to weaponize us
18:58against curtis you know what i don't want to hate anybody but i truly hate drew kane
19:06and this is all of it it's gotta stop no portia you are right about that
19:16and i think that you have you've clearly reached the point here where you need to change tactics
19:21how what what am i supposed to do at this point you need to tell curtis the truth
19:29has there been any movement in willow's custody case she still has her kids right
19:34yes but who knows for how long she was ambushed with a court date june 2nd that doesn't leave
19:41much time no it doesn't and this early court date was just given to us and drew has convinced willow
19:48to embrace it true doesn't exactly have a problem doing that now does he no he doesn't and he wants
19:56willow to now push for full custody on the grounds that michael has abandoned them because he went to
20:05germany yes he has willow believing that if she goes after michael in court while he's out of
20:12the country receiving treatment in a burn unit it will somehow end with her getting permanent
20:20sole custody of her children even if it were possible michael's family would never stand for
20:25never ever and i have a really bad feeling curtis that this is going to end in disaster
20:36drew is a great father you should see him with his daughter scout and with my kids he he loves
20:44them and they love him we're really building a new family together like i said i'm not touching
20:52and i really am happy for you okay thank you but i just hope you're prepared for the possibility
21:00that michael may not feel the same way you asked me what i wanted in an ideal world and ideally
21:09michael would be able to see that what's truly best for his children is them being with
21:14their mother and their mother is with drew and being with me and drew would give wiley and
21:20amelia the love and stability that they wouldn't have otherwise what do you mean otherwise just
21:26that i don't want this to turn into an ugly situation where i have to fight michael for
21:30sole custody and then he never gets to see his kids wait wait wait you're going for sole custody
21:38does michael even know he has a court date technically no what do you mean technically
21:45no well the court notified diane and she notified me and i asked her not to tell michael
21:49because you knew he'd want to be here yes and i don't want him to give up one minute of his
21:54recovery at all so trust me i got this what do you mean you got this diana's going to argue
22:00that willow put michael's children in an unsafe environment and then i'm going to get an emergency
22:06custody order the kids are going to come home with me until their father comes home you think
22:10it's going to be that easy uh willow's going to have her lawyer drew and nina there to back her
22:16up they're going to fight you i'm sure they are and willow's their mother and since michael
22:22physically can't be in court she's the only parent that's going to be at the hearing that's right
22:28and drew is going to be right by her side playing the hero and he's going to be the reason she
22:32loses those kids he's the proof that she's unfit drew is a congressman a congressman who partied
22:41with ketamine and did body shots of a call girl on a bar on video a congressman who slept with
22:48his nephew's wife in their kid's nursery also on video and when they show that video in court
22:55no judge is going to let michael's kids within a hundred feet of willow and drew those kids are
23:00going to come home with me and they're going to stay with me until their loving father comes home
23:05so no offense but when it comes to geo and brooklyn i think you're seeing what you want to
23:11see i think i saw what i saw okay do lois and brooklyn over geo sure but i mean he's a good
23:20kid with no parents lois helped raise them and brooklyn saw him grow up you know i think the
23:28way that they treat him is more bensonhurst than anything else okay i'll give you this
23:35that brooklyn knows that geo is her son i've never been quite positive about that
23:41you don't know if geo is brooklyn's son but i do know that brooklyn is a damn good liar i have
23:46experienced that firsthand and we know that she's been lying to dante for years and she's been lying
23:51to you since you came to port charles maybe so but none of that adds up to geo being brooklyn
23:58and dante's son but everything in my gut is telling me that he is i just need to prove it
24:06well i appreciate you trying to let me off the hook you shouldn't be on the hook in the first
24:09place rocco i can handle your parents being mad at me but you gotta promise me something
24:16no more drinking until you're 21 i promise okay you know you and your dad are lucky to have each
24:25other don't let what happened with me cause any problems between you two i won't so we good we're
24:35good you handled that really well thanks it was big of you to protect rocco and dante's relationship
24:49like that just that at this point i can't worry too much about what dante thinks of me
24:56dante will get over it he was just being a hothead who was worried about his kid
25:02all that everyone keeps telling me is that dante was just worried about his kid
25:06but that doesn't mean that dante doesn't feel the way he feels about me because he made it
25:11perfectly clear that he has no use for me and i'm good with that okay but everyone's also saying
25:18that it's just temporary i don't want you or anybody else to try to convince me that deep down
25:23dante really likes me because it's obvious that he doesn't
25:28he pretty much says to himself and there's no point pretending that's not true
25:33i'm sorry sorry i gotta go study
25:36me if and when i succeed in removing sunny i want the quarter main name back
25:51we have already established this i'm only giving you one thing i am so clear on the term and i want
25:59quarter main estate and grounds again well good luck with that as of now it's part of the deal
26:08oh no that's not the way deals work and by the way it's not my call if you want access
26:13you talk to monica and no matter what happens to sunny i don't think it's gonna matter you
26:18don't think it's gonna remember that i ripped the town of the man who murdered the only child
26:22she had with alan because to me that feels like it holds a lot of weight you destroyed michael's
26:29marriage and you prevented her from seeing her great-grandchild that's not what i'm not debating
26:35this you get rid of sunny you get the name back the rest of it you're on your own not good enough
26:42oh well it better be good enough get back on your damn barge find another
26:49alan gave it to us
26:55um
27:08when i went to see michael in germany and he refused to see me it sent a really clear message
27:14i have to do whatever it takes to protect my children and my custody of them i hear you
27:20i'm sure you're getting plenty of advice from other people you don't need any more from me
27:26no i'm sorry i shouldn't have snapped at you it's it's fine and i just want you to know that
27:37i think you're an excellent nurse and in the time that i've known you i've only seen you be
27:44a good with a kind heart trust it
27:49i get that you have a plan let me guess you don't like it and i understand what you're
28:00trying to do but this is not your call it's michael's call michael can't be here to fight
28:05for his kids so i have to do it for him sunny there's no guarantee that it's going to work
28:10with that evidence i think we're pretty good you're overstepping this is michael's life it's
28:15it's his family and he's not going to thank you for you know making decisions without his
28:23permission i'm just saying it's going to cost you michael will understand that i'm doing this to
28:29protect him and his family and if michael is mad at me i can live with that it's worth it
28:35to make sure our grandchildren are happy and safe and the only way to do that is to get custody of
28:41them everything all right yeah i feel bad for geo dante really came down on him and he's taking
28:51it pretty hard geo is a very good kid and dante is scrupulous to a fault they'll figure it out
29:06it's not the only reason why i'm feeling a little blue today
29:10what is it it's my baby's birthday the way that lois reacted when dante was tearing into geo and
29:20the way she got into it with dante lois is protective of geo in a way that goes well
29:27beyond him being a cousin like she was tapping into her primal grand maternal instinct like a
29:34like a grand mama bear actually yes and what brooklyn said if she's telling the truth
29:41lois handled the baby's adoption pair that with the fact that geo's mother
29:46was conveniently a cerullo cousin it all makes sense you're still not buying it yeah i'm not
29:55not buying it it's just if if this is true lois went through a lot of trouble to cover this up
30:01and maybe brooklyn too how do we prove it geo's so-called mother cousin camilla
30:10she's the key curtis already knows that you tampered with heather weber's blood tests
30:16all you have to tell him now is that that brad and drew found out about it and they're using it
30:22as leverage against you he's gonna wonder why i didn't tell him right away i don't have a good
30:28answer for that how was i didn't tell you i was being blackmailed because i was being blackmailed
30:34not an acceptable answer it's the point of blackmail curtis won't see it that way i made
30:42a choice the moment that i started giving in to brad and now i've left my whole family vulnerable
30:50you got in over your head you know what happens but you can still fix this
30:58curtis can help you get out of it i know curtis there's no third chance he's never gonna forgive
31:06me for this is there any way willow can get a postponement oh i suggested that but drew shot
31:13it down and willow fell right in line what were drew's reasons because this is the perfect time
31:19to steal michael's children out from under him and present the children to willow as a gift
31:26are those his words no but his thoughts are so loud they might as well be spoken words
31:31drew thinks that he and willow are going to walk into court looking like this perfect stable couple
31:37with this perfect stable built-in family and michael he won't be there to defend himself
31:44so they'll win all the more reason why you should make this postponement happen
31:49if drew and willow won't listen to reason then you need to find someone who will
31:54maybe a lawyer someone who has sway over michael
32:01there might be one person that michael will listen to
32:06i gotta go thank you so much for listening to me thank you for everything
32:12anytime
32:30yeah i need to see you in my office now
32:33do you think willow's a bad mother do you question that she would do anything she could to keep her
32:42kids safe do i question willow hell yeah i question willow she's not the same woman we
32:49thought she was she's not the woman that michael married and she's not the woman
32:52that he allowed to adopt his child and start a family with sunny she has changed hell yeah
32:57she's changed she's trying to take michael's kids from him and raise them with their great uncle
33:04she is so infatuated with drew who isn't the man we thought he was
33:08we all bought his act carly yeah so if you ask me do i question willow absolutely i don't trust
33:16her at all anymore and i don't want drew or willow anywhere near michael's children
33:21i hope this works out for you carly uh because if it doesn't and michael loses his children
33:30because of it you could lose your own child
33:39i'm so good at brushing past this day but now with everything that's come out all these
33:45feelings are coming back with a vengeance and i i can't stop them or push them away
33:50brooklyn i don't think you should the only way out is through going through it all right
33:59can't stop thinking about my son wishing him a happy birthday he's 22
34:08i have something i think might cheer you up by all means consider this a little
34:16birthday present for you and the boy
34:20i spoke to lulu she's dropping the adoption article really how did you you know what it
34:30doesn't matter i am so relieved i thought you might be oh i just hated that she was digging
34:35around without any consideration for anyone else i don't want her disrupting my son's life
34:41she's not gonna so you can relax and unless you choose otherwise
34:48no one is gonna know that you gave a child up for adoption
34:57brooklyn said that she gave birth in san francisco and according to this a baby boy
35:05was born on may 15th which is around about the time geo was born the records also indicate that
35:13the mother is brooklyn cerullo you can't think that's a coincidence yeah no uh using lois's
35:23last name probably was the easiest thing for brooklyn to do and brooklyn wasn't a legal adult
35:31lois didn't go to a lot of trouble to hide any of this well i mean why would she she had no reason
35:36to believe that anyone would dig up geo's real origin story geo said that he was born on june
35:454th in los angeles and according to records there were a lot of baby boys born in la county on that
35:55day but no baby boy cerullo or palmieri all this proves though is that there wasn't a baby born
36:03under that name in los angeles county you know he could have been born in orange county or ventura
36:10or camilla could use a different name you are absolutely correct statistically it was bound
36:16to happen someday there is only one way to prove that camilla isn't really geo's mother
36:24we need to find out where she was and what she was doing the day that brooklyn gave birth
36:31when it comes to secrets and lies curtis has zero tolerance well he's gonna have to get over that
36:37because that is an impossible standard it's why he and jordan broke up they didn't grow apart
36:46curtis left because jordan lied
36:49well if he forgave you for keeping trina a secret all those years this this is nothing
36:55not what i've been lying to him for months stop lying now your marriage might survive it now
37:02but after another six months not so much you just stop digging yourself in deeper i can't
37:10i can't if curtis finds out that i lied to him again my marriage is over
37:19come in you want to see me yeah i did you sounded stressed on the phone what's wrong
