What I Watched Today

(The whole GH enchilada on Fridays; the other days, who knows?)

General Hospital

Drew sees Jason at the boathouse, and Jason says, there’s something Drew needs to hear. It’s important.

Ric is alone in the courtroom when Alexis comes in. She asks if he’s proud of himself.

Sonny brings Kristina to Alexis’s house, and she asks how bad she was on the stand. He says he doesn’t know. They have to wait and see what the jury thinks. She tells him not to be like mom and make it seem better than it is. She needs him to be honest and tell her how she did.

Back home, Molly thanks TJ for coming to court, and he says he knew it would be hard for her. She says, there were times she wanted to run out, but she needed to hear it all. After hearing Kristina and Ava’s versions, she’s come to terms with it all being just a horrible, tragic accident. He says, she doesn’t really believe that, does she?

Laura and her assistant Darcy are in Laura’s apartment working, when Lucky comes in. He asks for a few minutes alone with Laura, and she tells Darcy to take a break. Darcy goes in the back, and Lucky tells Laura that Lulu is awake.  

Rocco and Lulu hug, and she doesn’t even say ouch. She’s tough.

TJ says, an accident is a sprained ankle or a fender bender, not going out of your way to confront someone dangerous who would put their hands on a pregnant woman. Molly says she agrees that Kristina was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it was her choice, but she doesn’t believe Ava pushed her. He says, it’s easier to call it an accident and move on, but she says, every day has been excruciating. She can’t see a mother with her baby without crying and feels the loss constantly. He asks how he would know since she’s been avoiding him, and she says, that’s not fair. They’ve been avoiding each other. He says, clearly, they have a lot to get off their chests.

Ric suggests Alexis take the fact that she’s not in jail as a win and go home, and she says she’s curious. Did it make him feel good? Did it turn him on to terrorize a grieving mother? Who is he? What happened to him? He’s obviously getting revenge on his brother through his brother’s daughter. He’s sick and morally bankrupt. How does he sleep? He says, very well. He did his best to defend his client. The fact that it pisses her and Sonny off is a bonus. She says, Kristina is his daughter’s sister, and he says he knows, but Alexis is living in denial, consistently favoring Kristina over Molly. She pretends Kristina isn’t a trainwreck and she wasn’t wrong for wanting custody of the baby or confronting Ava. She says she’s sure Kristina didn’t go there knowing Ava was going to shove her out a window, and he says, but she did it anyway. Even when the truth is in front of Alexis’s face, she can’t realize it. It’s pathetic, even for her.

Sonny says, Kristina did great, but Kristian says she blew it. She let Ric get to her. He says, she was honest and raw, and the jury saw her pain and will respond to that. He hates that she’s going through this, losing Adela, being arrested, and now the trial. The only reason she was in Ava’s room was because of his and Ava’s custody fight. She says, it’s not his fault, and he says, and it’s not hers. If a jury can’t see that she’d to nothing to hurt her baby, it’s their fault. She says, even if they do see it, they might not find Ava guilty, and she needs Ava to pay for what she did to her daughter. Sonny says, that’s what they all want.

Drew tells Jason that he has nothing to say, and Jason says, then just listen. It’s about the kids. Danny, Rocco, and Scout are close. It’s not a good idea to split them up. He’s going to move into the main house with Danny. Drew says, absolutely not (like it’s his house), but Jason says he’s already spoken to Monica. Drew says, then he guesses he and Scout are moving to DC sooner than expected. Carly arrives and says, Drew is moving and taking Scout? Drew says, yes.  

Laura is all excited and asks how Lucky knows. Did Turning Woods call him? Why didn’t they call her? He says, they tried, and she says she has to get down there, but he says, Lulu isn’t there anymore.

Rocco says he knew Lulu would come back. He never gave up on her. She looks him over and says, he’s so tall. She can’t believe how much he’s grown. He says, she looks exactly the same, and hugs her again. She backs up and asks how long she’s been gone. He says, she’s been in a coma for four years, and she says, he’s not a little boy anymore. He’s 15. He’s a teenager and so handsome. She’s so sorry she’s been gone so long. He says, it’s not her fault, and she promises to make up for the time. They’ll never be separated again. He says, when he thought about her, he had trouble remembering her voice. It’s good to hear. He wanted to be the first face she saw when she opened her eyes. She says she’s here now. They’re going to spend so much time together, he’ll be sick of her. He says, that will never happen, when Dante walks in.

Carly says, there has to be a better solution than Drew moving away with Scout, and Drew says, it’s not about the fight. She asks, then why is he leaving? and Jason says he’s moving into the Quartermaines to be with Danny. Dante agreed it was best for the kids to be together. Drew says, the second Jason moves in, he and Scout will be gone.

Molly tells TJ that she’s sorry she doesn’t seem devastated, but she always will be. It was easier to talk to other people. TJ says, so she was talking, just not to him, and she says she’s sorry. He says, him too. Losing a child is the hardest thing for a couple to go through. He wonders what that says about him, and she says she’s not questioning his love. She never doubted his love, but their grief took separate paths. He cries and says, but she won’t talk to him and she’s the only person who loves Irene like he does. She says she can’t. It hurts too much. He says, it hurts too much not to.  

Laura asks where Lulu is, and Lucky says, it will be easier for her to understand if she looks at this. He shows her the video on his phone, and she says, amazing. She prayed for this for so long. Lulu looks determined. She just walked out? He says, nobody knows where she is, and Laura says, she’s probably trying to come back to Port Charles, to come back home.

Lulu says, long time, no see, and almost falls, but Dante catches her. He says, they should go to the hospital and have her checked out, but she says, the last time she did that, she stayed for four years. Dante and Rocco help her to the sofa, and she says she had quite a journey to get here. Dante asks Rocco to get her something to eat, and Rocco leaves. Dante says he can’t believe she’s here and talking. She’s back. She says, I’m back.

TJ says he wants to be able to talk with Molly again. It’s terrifying not to know what she’s thinking.

On the phone, Laura puts out a BOLO alert on Lulu. She tells them to search the entire area from Turning Woods to Port Charles. Her daughter just had a major operation and could possibly be disoriented or weak. She tells Lucky that they’re sending an officer, and he says, sometimes it pays to be mayor. Did she authorize Cyrus to speak for the family about Lulu’s care? She says, what? and he says, that’s what the administrator told him and Elizabeth.

Dante asks how Lulu got here, and she says she hitchhiked. He says, that was dangerous, and wonders why the doctors didn’t call. She says they didn’t know she was awake, and he asks her to start from the beginning. She says, the first thing she remembers is waking up, probably a few days ago. Then she heard Cyrus’s void. He told the staff that he was her uncle and he’d be making decisions about her care. She knew she had to get away from Cyrus. He says, there’s something she should know. Cyrus is her uncle. He’s her mom’s half-brother. She says, no way, and he says, Cyrus and her mom have the same father. Cyrus went to jail, supposedly found God, and is now a man of peace. She says, but he’s not buying it, and he says, no, and he doesn’t think her mom does either. She told the doctors to keep Cyrus away from her. Lulu tells him that Cyrus said he was moving her to a care facility in South Carolina, and he asks again how she got here. She says she told him. She hitchhiked. Then he told her it was dangerous, but obviously, nothing happened.

Carly tells Jason and Drew to take a breath. It makes sense for Jason to move in to keep the kids together. They need to be together. Drew agrees, but says, it’s his job to protect Scout. He doesn’t want her around Jason’s reckless behavior and the danger he poses in working for Sonny. Carly says, they promised Sam that they’d co-exist. This isn’t about what makes them comfortable. It’s what Sam wanted, for the two of them to put the children first.

Kristina says, Sonny’s not telling her that revenge doesn’t solve anything, and he says he already made it clear. Revenge doesn’t solve anything, and anger can keep it going. She says, that’s how she feels. Needing to see Ava punished is the only thing getting her out of the house. He says, the desire for revenge and a thirst for justice is one hell of a motivator. If that’s what it takes for her to keep her head above water, he’s not going to take it away. He’s going to tell her to embrace it.

Alexis says she’s not taking parenting advice from someone who locked a pregnant woman in a panic room for weeks. Ric hasn’t seen his own kid in years. He says, Molly thinks he’s a great parent, and Alexis says she’s not his witness. She’s not required to take him seriously. He says, as long as it gets under her skin, he’s fine with it, and she says she can’t decide who she hates more, him or Ava. He says, she hated Ava since before she lost her legal license, but if she looks at it objectively, it’s 100% true that what happened to Kristina was a horrible, tragic accident, nothing more.

Molly says, it’s too much. She’s in full-on survival mode and just trying to get through the day. She can’t think about becoming a parent again. He says, she’s avoiding the real conversation. He knows when she’s not telling him something. Say what she needs to. She says she doesn’t want another child.

Laura says she told Cyrus to stay away, and Lucky says, clearly, he didn’t listen. The surveillance video shows Lulu sneaking around and pulling a fire alarm so she could escape. Laura says she’s proud of Lulu. It’s a Spencer move. He says, the only reason she must have done it was because she felt she was in danger.

Lulu says she heard a nurse say they were going to have a busy night, and figured it was her only chance. She pulled the fire alarm and snuck out. She stole some clothes and made her way to the road, flagging down the first car she saw, then hitchhiked to Port Charles. He asks if she came straight to the Quartermaines, but she says she went to her house. She guesses it’s not her house anymore. There was a little boy there who she accidentally scared. He says, Maxie lives there now, and she says, that was James? She laughs and says she can’t wait to see Maxie. He says, she’s going to be happy. Where did she go after that? She says, here. She knew Tracy would be honest with her. She came in and saw Rocco, their beautiful, sweet little boy. He’s not a boy anymore, but he’s still as sweet as the day she left. She takes Dante’s hand and says, he’s done a good job raising him. He says he did his best, but she’s Rocco’s mom. There’s no replacing her. She asks why they’re at the Quartermaines, and he says, they’re staying here for a while. He’ll tell her more another time. She says, no way. How did she end up in a coma?

Sonny says he hates that Kristina is going through this. She’s strong, proud, and determined. She stood up for herself, and people love that. She says she learned it from him, and he asks if she’s given more thought to the job he offered. (I miss something here. Sorry.)

Alexis asks if Ric expects her to by sympathetic to the woman responsible for her grandchild’s death, and he says, she’s not the only one who lost someone. She might hate Ava, but Ava isn’t capable of pushing a pregnant woman out of a window. She says, they’ll have to agree to disagree. Some people are capable of anything. She learned that when she found out her husband was sleeping with her daughter. He says, that’s not the same as murder, and she says she’s glad she can still be surprised at how viciously treated her daughter. She’s shocked at how indecent he is. He says he did what he needed to give his client the best defense, and she says she doesn’t think he understands. That’s what she does for a living, but he didn’t have to eviscerate a grieving mother who just buried her own daughter and sister – a daughter she carried for his daughter. He’s a horrible father, but what’s worse is, he’s an unforgivable human being. When he puts his head on the pillow tonight, think about that. She storms out.

Molly tells TJ that she’d love to want to be, but she can’t be a parent. Anything but that. He says he doesn’t know how to see a future for them if they don’t have kids, and she says she doesn’t see one where they do.

Jason says he’s going to be here. What happens with Scout is up to Drew. Carly says, if this vendetta continues, they’ll pass it to their kids. Danny is happy that Jason is back in his life, and Drew is a hero to Scout. It’s only a matter of time before they feel like they have to pick sides. Do they want the kids hating each other? If Sam was here, she’d say the same damn thing. They’re different, but they’re both good men and great fathers. Do this for the kids, but more important, do it for Sam.

TJ says he was afraid of this. He wanted to give Molly space to grieve the way she needed to, but there was too much space between them. Molly says she feels the same, and he says he can’t imagine life without her. She says her either, but where does that leave them?

Dante asks if Lulu remembers what happened that night, and she says, it’s like she can picture the night, but there’s a haze around it. He asks if she remembers going to the Floating Rib, and she says, yes. Dustin asked her to marry him, then everything went dark… There was an explosion. Dustin was killed. Dante told her. She didn’t even get to go to the funeral or say goodbye. He says, they didn’t know it, but she’d gotten hit in the head, and she fell into a coma. He’s angry at himself for not getting her checked out. That’s why he wants to take her to the hospital now, so they don’t make the same mistake. She says she’s fine. It’s not like last time. She’s just overwhelmed. Rocco comes back and says he’s got her favorite, turkey and Swiss with mayo, just on one side. She says, he remembered, and he says he remembers everything about her. She says, he’s grown up so much, and Rocco says, Maxie was with her all the time. She says she wondered who gave her the manicure. She can’t wait to see Maxie. It feels so good to be back with her boys. Danny listens from outside the door.

Alexis comes home and says she’s glad Sonny is here. She was at the courthouse. She had some business to take care of. How is Kristina? Kristina says she’s actually okay, and Alexis says she thought Kristina would be upset, but she seems relaxed, like she’s come to terms with it. Kristina says she talked to dad and feels that no matter what the outcome, she’ll be able to find peace. Alexis hugs her.

Drew says he and Scout will stay if Jason gives him his word, no more violence. Jason says he will not be the one to break the peace, and Drew guesses that’s as good a promise as he’s going to get from Jason.  Carly says, it will be good for the kids and them. They’ll see.

TJ comes out with a suitcase and says he’s going to stay somewhere else tonight. They can both use space. Molly says she’s sorry. She wishes things were different. He says him too, and goes to the door. He looks back at her and leaves. She goes to the door, cries, turns her back, and slides down. He drops his bag and does the same thing on the other side. 

Laura tells Lucky to stay at the apartment in case Lulu shows up. Stay positive and pray everything is okay. Lucky says, it’s Lulu they’re talking about. She’s given them one miracle tonight. She’s back. They hug, and Laura says, our girl is back.

Rocco says he knows Lulu is here, but part of him is thinking it’s a dream. Lulu hugs him and says she’s just a little sore. Dante suggests she get checked out, and Lulu says, there’s a question she’s been meaning to ask. She has a bandage and a scar. Why? Rocco says, she had a liver transplant, and she asks, what was wrong with her liver? but Dante says he thinks she’s had enough for today. Danny slips away, and Dante says, there’s a lot to tell her. She missed a lot. She says she can wait for explanations, but first, there’s something they need to do for her.

Tomorrow, Laura says, if anything happens to Lulu, she’s holding Cyrus responsible; Lulu tells Lucky to stop saying that; Natalia says, it was the least she owed Sonny’s daughter; and Jason says he’s not going to tell somebody something.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

There’s blood everywhere on the white couch from Gary slinging a Chupa Chups lollipop at Davide and hitting him in the eye. Gary says, it’s not his fault, and Daisy sees the mess. She says, they’ll put Varnish on it and let it sit overnight. I assume that’s a brand name of some cleanser, and not shellack. Gary blames Davide for getting blood on the couch, and in Daisy’s interview, she says, there’s not much they can do at 2 am. They’ll attack it in the morning. In Daisy’s interview, she says, Gary has zero remorse, and she’s pissed. Diana says she loves that the person who did it doesn’t care, and Danni sprays the couch. In Danni’s interview, she says, what the f***? He’s in charge, but Gary’s not giving a f***. She’s waiting for Daisy to snap out of her wine phase. She thanks Davide for saying he’s sorry, and Davide gets in the hot tub. Gary says, the whole thing is a vibe killer. Danni wonders why Keith always has an excuse not to flirt, and in her interview, she says, he always has a weird dig at her. Gary wonders why he had two tequilas, and says he thinks Daisy is sexy. Danni says she’s hoping the new deckhand is a boy. The boys at O Beach are so much better than what they have. Keith says, thank God, Glenn is coming, so he doesn’t have to talk to that f***ing girl.  

3:30 am. Daisy rolls out of bed and sees the mess. She tells Captain Glenn that they need carpet cleaner. Someone hurt themselves. In Daisy’s interview, she says, it’s not good, and the worst part is that it’s not her fault, but it comes down to her to figure it out. She’s dealing with morons. The captain sees the couch and says, what the f*** is this? Daisy says, blood from last night. It’s not from her. She’s not in that category. He asks why it hasn’t been cleaned. It’s a massive f*** up and he’ll deal with it later. Get in their uniforms. In the captain’s interview, he says, it’s disrespectful to the boat, the guests coming in, and him. It’s like a slap in the face. The crew is misinterpreting his kindness for weakness. If they think they can get away with it, they’re not. He tells the crew that they’re having a meeting, and Daisy says, Gary is such a knob. Gary asks if everything is okay, and Captain Glenn says, no. Daisy says, their roughhousing bullsh*t isn’t funny, and the crew sits in the saloon. Captain Glenn says he’s obviously disappointed to see something like that. It’s the crew’s night off, but if they can’t get it out, what impact will it have on the guests and what cost to the boat? How did it happen? Davide says, it was an accident. They were playing and he got a Chupa Chups in the eye. The captain asks what they were doing in here, and Danni says, she told Gary multiple times, but Gary says he doesn’t remember. Daisy says, they put Varnish on it, and Captain Glenn says, they destroyed the sofa then went to bed? It’s disrespectful to the boat and f***ing stupid. If they’re not capable of taking care of the boat, wake him up. He wouldn’t be sleeping for 8 hours with that going on. Daisy says she’s sorry. She wasn’t thinking clearly. The captain says, there was a fun day planned, but it’s not happening. They were supposed to go to the caves. He’s going, but they’re going to stay and clean up the f***ing boat.

Captain Glenn says, if they have time left, they can still go to the club. Get to work. Davide tells Danni that he’s sorry, and in Danni’s interview, she says, the one thing she wanted was to go to O Beach. Everyone knows why. We flash back to Anthony, and she says, if she doesn’t get to go, she wants to cry. Daisy says she wishes she’d taken it more seriously. Gary is f***ing up everything. Captain Glenn leaves, and the stews do the baking soda/vinegar method. I can vouch for the fact that it’s absolutely amazing at getting stains out. Look it up on YouTube. Daisy says, they’ve gotten out espresso martinis, fake tan, and makeup. They have to be able to get this out. Gary says he’s sorry. He was stupid. Davide says he’s sorry too, and Daisy says she wasn’t thinking last night. In Gary’s interview, he says he let the crew down, especially Glenn. Who’s the culprit? Him. Stop drinking, Gary. Daisy asks the stews to do the master cabin and the bar while they let the solution sit, and Gary tells Danni that he’s taking full responsibility. He tells Diana that he went one step too far, and he’s sorry everyone has to pay for his stupidity. In Diana’s interview, she says, f*** you and your fake apology. Gary does what he wants and doesn’t think of anyone else. Up until five minutes ago, he wasn’t owning up to anything.

Captain Glenn goes to the caves where he meets tour guide Joseph. Joseph tells him that the temperature is always -20 and the caves are 100,000 years old and were formed by the Pope. In the captain’s interview, a producer asks if he’d live in a cave, and he says he did in the 80s in Crete. A room was 10 bucks, but a cave was free. He lived in it for a month with some friends, and there was another cave where some nurses lived nearby who they would invite over. On the boat, Gary apologizes to Daisy, and she suggests he make a poignant effort. He makes a good apology, but he’s not changing. Glenn has a beer with Joseph and by the time he gets back, the couch looks good. Danni says, it’s as good as it going to get, and the captain examines it. He walks through the crew mess where everyone is eating, and Davide says, they’ll see what happens next. Captain Glenn, Gary, and Daisy look at the couch, and the captain says, it’s not perfect. He wants to look around the rest of the boat, and Danni says, don’t get your hopes up. Glenn calls everyone upstairs.

Captain Glenn asks, what have we learned? and Davide says, respect the boat even when you’re not working. The captain says, 100%. They may not have meant it, but they allowed it to happen. If they can’t handle their alcohol, don’t drink. Use their heads. It’s a helluva lot better, but not perfect. No more f***Ing around. He expects more from Gary and Daisy because they’re leaders. They can still go to the club. He wants them to have fun together off the boat. In Danni’s interview, she says she’s going to get her man to get her the f*** away from these a-holes. Captain Glenn says, never again, and everyone agrees. Keith says he needs 10 mimosas and a packet of chips, and everyone gets dressed. Daisy makes Gary wear a pink sash as punishment, and the girls take one taxi while the guys take another. Anthony meets them when they get there. In Davide’s interview, he says, it’s a good way to take the pressure away. He’s ready with party vibes and to have a twerk. He thinks he’s pretty good. He demonstrates and… well…

Glenn gets a text from the new deckhand saying his flight is booked and thanks for thinking of him. In Diana’s interview, she says she hates that she’s shy. She thinks it started when she was little, presenting things in school. It led to overthinking people judging her. She needs Danni to be the best wingwoman ever. Gary wants to go swimming, and Daisy hugs Keith. She says she’s in her absolute element. She loves this weather. Keith says he’s glad they’re here, and in his interview, he says he likes Daisy. She’s got a great sense of humor and she’s gorgeous. She’s got a more successful career and she’s a senior officer, so he’s feeling it out and playing it safe. Gary comes by to bother them, and Anthony bottle serves Danni. She says she’s now a guest, and he tells her that she can make demands. In Danni’s interview, she says, he’s giving what she was missing from Gary. He flirts and he’s engaging. She’s been stuck in a desert and she’s ready to climb in and get wet. She says she’s going for a swim, and Anthony makes an executive decision to join her.

On the boat, Captain Glenn gets in a bubble bath. Diana tells Daisy that she’s shy, and Daisy thinks they’re similar. Danni and Anthony kiss, and Diana says, Danni is leading the life. She’s shy as hell. It’s time to go, and Anthony decides to come with Danni. Danni asks Daisy if it’s okay, and Daisy says she doesn’t care. In the taxi, Diana says, Danni is having sex and she’s not, and in Cloyce’s interview, he says he smells a little jealousy. When they get back, Daisy goes to bed, and Danni and Anthony jump into the water from the side of the boat. Keith asks why Daisy is in bed, and she says she’s exhausted. He says, she’s the only fun person here. Captain Glenn watches Predator, while Gary tries to get Daisy to come out. When she won’t, he says, love you, but f*** you, and Keith suggests he leave. Danni and Anthony sneak into the master cabin.  

Igy Marina – 7 hours to charter. Danni tells Anthony that she’s going to put him on Trip Advisor. Don’t get caught by the captain. He leaves, and in Danni’s interview, she says, thank God. Finally. It’s definitely a win for her. She tells Daisy that when she gets another man’s attention, Gary doesn’t know what to do. Desperation at its finest. Gary says he doesn’t know what to do, and Daisy asks if he remembers yesterday. He has fun, but then gets to a point where he hates everyone. He was making fun of Danni in the taxi when she was speaking to Anthony. He says he doesn’t remember. He doesn’t know when to stop. Daisy suggests he try not drinking, and in his interview, he says he doesn’t like blacking out, but he drinks to get drunk. We flash back to some of his drunken escapades, and he says he’s not drinking more than normal. He needs to learn to control it. It changes who he is for the worse. He realizes it’s a problem, but he keeps doing it.

Captain Glenn checks out the couch and says, they dodged another bullet. He calls Gary and Daisy to the wheelhouse and says, they got a new deckhand. It’s someone who knows the boat and they know him. It’s Chase. In Gary’s interview, he says, f***, and in Daisy’s interview, she says the same thing. Gary says, he’s a hell of a hard worker, but he thinks he knows more than he does. Daisy says, he’s very excited, like a puppy, and we flash back to that. The captain tells Daisy to get a cabin ready, and in his interview, Gary says, Chase is difficult to work with. He doesn’t like taking directions.  

Gary says he hates Chase, but he’s a good worker, and Captain Glenn tells him and Daisy to handle the cabin situation however they want to. Diana pumps Danni for information, and Danni says, it was beautiful, great, and phenomenal, but not great to clean up after being in the master. In Daisy’s interview, she says, there’s three girls and five guys. She doesn’t want to make the boys move and she doesn’t want to share with Cloyce. They’d kill each other. She and Keith have a flirtation, so it would be weird. That leaves Gary. In Danni’s interview, she says, it’s a bad idea. The worst part is, she can hear them through the wall. She doesn’t know if they’ll make love or war, but she doesn’t want to hear it. She tells Keith that he’s the most chill of all the boys, and he tells her, that’s the nicest thing she’s said to him all season. Danni and Anthony text, and in Gary’s interview, he says he’s worked with Daisy for four seasons, but sharing a cabin is different. They get along, but they always fight. They’ve had the weirdest relationship. Daisy says she’s anxious with a bit of apprehension. She has a lot of feelings going on. Chase comes up the walk, and in his interview, he says, it’s Britney, baby. I’m back. He’s definitely most nervous to see Gary. They butted heads last season, but he has a plan. He’s going to do things Gary’s way when he’s looking, and when Gary isn’t looking, he’ll do things the right way.

Diana asks if he’s cute, and Danni says, he’s tall and has tattoos. In Diana’s interview, she says, who turned off the A/C? and she and Danni greet Chase. He goes to see Captain Glenn, then introduces himself around. Danni says, things just got interesting. Chase bro hugs Gary, who says he’s glad to see Chase. In Chase’s interview, he says he doesn’t know if he’s saving them or the other way around. It’s costing him $40K to fix his boat. He wants to watch the captain and pick up some things. He’s not looking for a boatmance and wants to be dependable, a leader, and not say anything dumb. Gary says, boats are expensive, but Chase says, they’re worth it. Diana checks out Chase’s ass and asks if he’s Danni’s type. Danni says she wouldn’t say no, and in Danni’s interview, she says, when she wants something, she’ll fight to the death. In Diana’s interview, she says, step aside. Give her a chance. Danni says she’s been waiting all season for a hot guy, and Diana says, it’s her time to shine. Danni says she wants to climb him like a tree, and Diana says, welcome to the war.  

Later this season, Daisy says, we’re all going to burn at the stake; Daisy asks if Chase would make out with Diana or Danni; a drag makeover; Danni kisses Chase; Captain Glenn says he doesn’t want to take their tip, but they broke the rules and they’re getting upset; and Gary asks if Daisy can see them in a relationship.

🌲 The Spring Of Genius…

Come back tomorrow for soap and what’s watchable (or not). Until then, stay safe; stay not letting the media pressure you during the holiday season; and stay not throwing lollipops at your co-workers when you’re drunk.

In the elevator, Carly says Sonny is going to have to help her keep it together. She doesn’t want to cry in front of Sasha and Brando. He says, they have to help Sasha and Brando. He doesn’t want them to feel alone, and he doesn’t want her to feel alone. They get out of the elevator just as Nina turns around at the reception desk. She asks if they’re here to see Sasha and Brando; there aren’t any other visitors. Carly says, they don’t need an update, and they keep walking. Nina says, it’s just that they’re trying to tough it out, but they’re pretty fragile, so please be gentle. Carly glares at her.

Brando tucks Sasha in, and asks if she’s worried about the news about their baby, but she says she’s not worried. Is he? He says, of course (🍷) not. In fact, when the three of them get home, he’s going to buy their son his first baseball mitt. She wonders if he’s a little young to be playing catch, but Brando says, not with a name like Liam Mike. He’s strong willed, and like Mike Corbin, he’ll be able to defy the odds and live his life to the fullest. She asks if he knows what the name Brando means, but he says he doesn’t, and she says, sword or fiery torch. He says he will fight for their family with a sword or fiery torch, and she says she knows he will. He says, one day, they’ll tell their grandchildren about their heroic dad who was strong willed and defied the odds, and she says, they’re going to say they were worried for nothing and laugh at them.

Brook tells Chase, Maxie is emotionally exhausted. Not that she blames Maxie, but second guessing isn’t going to get them anywhere. They’re in this thing now; they’ve got to see it through. He says he doesn’t know. Maxie made some strong points. Brook says, she did, but they’re committed, which means they have to deal with it, especially now that Valentin is furious with her. With them, and there’s no telling what else Valentin might do. The doorbell rings, and Brook opens the door to see Valentin on the porch. Chase says, they had enough trouble the last time Valentin was there, so turn around and walk away. Anna joins Valentin, and says, no one wants any trouble. Brook asks, then what does he want?

Drew is getting some coffee at the Quartermaine’s when Maxie walks in, saying, sorry. She just wanted to get a glass of water. He turns around, and says, hi, Maxie; long time no see. She says, Drew, and he says, in the flesh. He’s not a hologram or a figment of her imagination. She says she heard he was alive. She just hadn’t processed it yet. He says, until now, and she hugs him, saying, it’s so processed.

In the hospital, Peter says he’s fine, despite Jason Morgan’s best attempt to kill him, and Austin says, he’s a lucky man. It’s good he was only shot in the arm. He might have some nerve damage, but nothing serious. Peter says, not like getting shot in the chest, right? and Austin says, no. If he was shot in the chest, he’d be in the ICU. Peter takes it Austin doesn’t believe the rumors, and Austin says he hears a lot of rumors. Which one is Peter talking about? Peter tells him, the ones that say he doesn’t have a heart, and Austin says, don’t be silly. If he didn’t have heart, he wouldn’t be alive. Peter says, how clinical of him – he looks at Austin’s ID tag – Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. Now where does he recognize that name… Of course (🍷). Austin delivered his daughter.

Valentin says he’s not there to hurl accusations or make threats, and Brook says, why not? He did plenty of that before he moved out. Don’t tell her that he lost steam. Chase says, or maybe Valentin found out he was suspended from the force for throwing a punch at him, and came there to gloat. Valentin says he regrets that happened, and Brook asks if he regrets feeding Thanksgiving dinner to the family dog. Valentin says, not really, and Anna says, she understands that passions were running high. It was Thanksgiving; that’s what happens on family occasions. Valentin says, he’s not family, and Chase says he knows this doesn’t help, but when he started putting things together, he was totally blindsided to find out he was Bailey’s father. Valentin says, Brook used both of them, and Brook says, she had her reasons. Anna suggests they not rehash that; it’s not why they’re here. Brook asks if Valentin is there to talk ELQ business with her dad, now that he’s solidified his position as CEO, but Valentin says, no. He’s just there because he wants to say goodbye to his… to Bailey.

Maxie says, Anna told her that Drew was back, but the story was too incredible to be true. Peter faked a plane crash, and then held him captive for over two years? Drew says he wouldn’t have believed it himself if he hadn’t lived through it. Unfortunately, others weren’t so lucky. She says she still hasn’t wrapped her mind around Jason’s death. If only she could go back in time, before Peter was in their lives, when Nathan was still alive. He asks how she’d change the past. Could she stop Nathan from being killed? She says she would if she could, but she guesses at best, she would go back to before she met Peter and fell in love with him. He says, but they can’t go back in time, no matter how much they’d like to. When he was in prison, he just kept focusing on the future, holding on to that, when he’d see Scout again. She says, and Sam… Oh wow. She should just keep her big mouth shut. He says, it’s okay. He went to see them first thing, both of them. She says, Scout and Sam? How did that go? He says, Dante was with them, and she says, it’s been sort of a slow process with them. They kind of got together trying to find him. James is going to be excited to see him. He says he can’t wait, and asks how James is doing. She says, great, and he says she doesn’t have to protect his feelings. He and Sam were done long before Peter abducted him. She asks if he’s saying he’s okay with Sam and Dante, and he says he’s trying to be. It’s not like he has another choice. She says, it must have been great to see Scout, and he says, it made everything he had to do to get home absolutely worthwhile. She says she knows what he means. If she could go back in time, she doesn’t think she would, because then, she wouldn’t have Louise. He says, she found her daughter? Is Louise finally home?

Peter asks Austin to tell him about the circumstances surrounding Louise’s birth. It kills him that he wasn’t there to welcome his daughter into this world. Austin says he certainly was not. He was too busy running from the police to make it to the cabin; Austin’s cabin. And the nurse he hired to kidnap Maxie tried to induce birth. Peter put Maxie, and his own child, at great risk. Peter asks, who’s been feeding Austin all of this? and Austin says, he was there. Peter knows that. Thank God he was hiking in the woods. When he found Maxie, she was already in labor. Peter says, then Austin may have been the last person to see his daughter before she was abducted, and Austin says, it’s a possibility. Peter says, then Austin was in the right place at the right time. Austin knows what became of his daughter.

Sonny wonders if they should take turns visiting Sasha so she’s not overwhelmed, but Nina tells them, go ahead. She just got done visiting Sasha. Carly asks why Nina is still there, and Sonny says, Carly… but Nina says, it’s fine. She knows Carly is upset over the loss of Jason. Carly says, don’t say his name. Nina knows nothing about her and Jason. Carly tells Sonny that she can’t. She’s going to go see Monica. Sonny says, let him come with her, but Carly says she’s just going to go, and walks away. Sonny circles back to Nina, and says, baby’s fine? Nina says, yeah. Sasha should hear an update soon. He says, all right, and walks in toward Sasha’s room.

Sasha says, how can anything possibly be wrong with their baby; look at him. He’s adorable. It’s just that… Brando says he knows. All those tubes are hooked up to Liam, but she has to remind herself, those are making their little boy healthy. She says, yeah, like the cooling blanket, and he says, exactly, and the love of his mommy and daddy. What else does the little guy need? Britt comes in, and says she wants to introduce them to Dr. Fleming, their baby’s neonatologist. Sasha tells the doctor, she’d say it’s nice to meet her, but… Dr. Fleming says she understands, and Brando says, they were told she has news about their baby.

Anna promises Valentin isn’t there to make a scene, and Brook asks if Anna is there to vouch for him. Valentin says, Anna is his friend. This isn’t easy for him. Chase says, of course (🍷) this isn’t easy. None of this is easy. Anna says, especially for Valentin. Brook allowed him, in fact encouraged him, to fall in love with her little girl, knowing he wasn’t her father. Does she expect him to just throw a switch and not love her any longer? Chase says, nobody’s thinking that, but first, Valentin showed up mad as hell, lashing out at Brook in the most hurtful way imaginable, and now he’s here asking for her understanding? What does he want her to believe? Brook feels guilty enough. How much longer is he going to pile it on? Valentin says, he’s not there to pile on any more guilt. That’s not why he’s there. Chase asks if he wants closure with Bailey, but Valentin says he doesn’t believe in closure. Do they think just because he says goodbye, he’ll stop loving her? Chase asks, then why is he here? and Anna says it’s her fault. She insisted he needed to do this. Valentin says, no. Nobody makes him do anything he doesn’t want to do. Bailey is far too young to understand any of this. He hasn’t told Charlotte that she doesn’t have a sister, and he isn’t going to be able to do that until he says goodbye to Bailey. Brook stomps off, and Chase follows her. Valentin tells Anna, he knew this was how she was going to react. She’s not going to let him see Bailey.

Maxie tells Drew, Louise isn’t back yet. She’s just holding out hope that she will be. He asks if there are any breaks in the case, and she says she’s just hoping now that Peter is in custody, whoever has taken Louise will feel it’s safe to bring her back. He says, so she thinks someone took Louise to protect her from Peter? and she says, he thinks she’s deluding herself, doesn’t he? He says, no. He thinks she wants her little girl back more than anything in the world, and if he could make that happen, he would. She thanks him, and says, but she knows in her heart that Louise will be home one day, and it will make all of this worth it. He says, all of what? and she says, things she had to do because of Peter. Things she never thought she’d be forced to do. He says he knows what she means.

Austin says, even if he did know where Louise was – and he doesn’t – Peter is the last person he would tell. Make a fist. That way he can draw blood. This won’t hurt a bit. He plunges the syringe into Peter’s arm, Peter jumps, and I laaaugh. Austin says, oh, goodness me. He’s so sorry; he seems to have missed the vein. He’ll just try that one more time. He does it again, Peter jumps again, and Austin says, oh yeah, there we go. Success. Sorry about that. Normally, he’s not so clumsy. I officially love Austin. Peter says, he’s enjoying this, isn’t he? and Austin says, absolutely. He loves his job, always. Peter says, and that Hippocratic Oath he took to be a doctor? and Austin says, yeah, right, do no harm. It’s sticky though. That’s the question; who gets harmed and who does not? Peter says he supposes it’s the patients who aren’t to be harmed, but he couldn’t tell by the way Austin just stuck him. Austin says, that’s his point. Maxie is also his patient, so do no harm should apply to her as well. Peter asks, and what is Maxie to Austin?

On the phone, Carly says, she went by Monica’s office, but she wasn’t there. She wanted to talk to Monica in person, but it’s probably better it’s on voicemail; she can just hang up if she wants. Carly really hopes she doesn’t. She’s so sorry about Jason. She’s so sorry Monica has to grieve him all over again. He was Carly’s best friend, but he was Monica’s son, and Carly knows what that kind of pain feels like. In all the years of squabbling and fighting, she doesn’t know if she ever thanked Monica for Jason, for the incredible human being he was. He loved Monica so much. Carly knows Monica knows that, but she thought Monica might want to hear it. That’s all. She hangs up, and we see Nina sitting alone on a bench elsewhere at GH.

Sasha asks Dr. Fleming if it’s about Liam’s hypothermia therapy. Is it working? Brando asks if Liam can come home soon, and the doctor’s phone beeps. She says she’s sorry; there’s an emergency in the NICU. Not their baby. Britt says, it’s okay; she’s got this. Dr. Fleming leaves, and Britt says, getting back to their question, hypothermia therapy can take up to 72 hours, as they know. They still need to give the baby’s brain time to cool. What Dr. Fleming wanted to tell them was, the EEG has been scheduled. Sasha says, then what happens? but Britt says they won’t know until they get the results. But they have an entire team dedicated to caring for Liam, and she’ll be the liaison between them and Brando and Sasha. Brando asks what they can do to help, and Britt says, just keep doing what they’re doing, sending a lot of love to that beautiful baby boy, and let the team at GH give him the best possible care. Sasha says, the waiting is so excruciating, and Britt says she knows, but they have to take it a day at a time. Let the therapy run its course. In the meantime, their baby needs them to take care of themselves. Brando tells Sasha, Liam’s strong, but they have to be stronger, and she says, they will be.

Maxie says she knows this is going to sound ridiculous, but she kind of envies Drew. He’s not sure why, and she says, he got the chance to confront Peter. Drew let Peter take his best shot, and he survived. He actually came out on top. He says, at the cost of Jason’s life, and she says she knows. She hates that part, but at least Peter doesn’t have power over Drew anymore. She’d give anything to take away Peter’s power to frighten her. Drew says, when Scout and Danny would have a bad dream, he’d tell them, look under the bed, look in the closet, and when you see nothing but dustballs and clothes, you’ll know that the boogie man has no power over you anymore.

Peter says, do tell. Just how friendly is Austin with the mother of his child? Austin says, Maxie has a lot of friends. He’d be happy to be one of them. Peter says, but he’s not? He suggests Austin keep it that way. Austin asks if that’s a threat, but Peter lifts his hands, showing he’s cuffed to the bed, and says he’s clearly in no position to threaten anyone. But he is a born romantic, and does believe the fates will conspire to reunite his family. Austin says he doesn’t believe in fate, but Peter says he does. Sometimes fate needs a helping hand. Austin smiles, and starts to walk out, and Peter says, bye-bye. Such fun meeting him today.

Carly is looking at a picture of her and Jason on her phone, when Britt comes by. Carly calls her over, and says, Sonny is around here somewhere. They just came to see Sasha. Britt says she just came from Sasha’s room, and Carly asks how she is. Britt says, she’s good; strong. She’s sure Sasha would love to see Carly. Carly says, maybe in a few minutes, heaves a sigh, and sits. Britt is about to go to the desk, but turns back, and sits next to Carly, asking her how she is. Carly says, she just went to say fine, and kind of laughs. She says she came here to support Sasha and Brando, but it’s not like there’s anything she can do for them. Just like she can’t do anything for Jason. How is she? She’s sad, and scared. She doesn’t know what the rest of her life looks like without him. Britt says Carly will figure it out. Know how she knows? Jason told her. He had complete faith in Carly, and she knows Jason doesn’t say things just to be nice. He said it because he believed it; that Carly is strong enough to get through anything. Carly says, she was, when she had Jason to back her up. She didn’t have to be good enough or strong enough for Jason. She could just be her. That’s an amazing feeling, to have someone you can count on no matter what. Jason gave her that feeling. Now he’s gone. She knows how grief works, and the only way out is through. Then someday, when she says she’s fine, she’ll mean it. Britt says, right now, Carly can’t even imagine that day, and Carly says, no. Britt says, her neither; it sounds ridiculous. Carly says, it doesn’t; not to her. She tells Britt to take care of herself, and gets up to go to Sasha’s room.

Chase comes back, and tells Valentin, he’s sorry. Brook wanted to be alone. Valentin says he did warn Chase that honor is in short supply in this house, and so is compassion. If he were Chase, he’d take that beautiful daughter and go far, far away before Brook turns her into a Quartermaine. He tells Anna, let’s go, but Brook says, not yet, walking in with Bailey. Someone misses him very much. She gives Bailey to Valentin, and both Valentin and the baby smile. Chase thinks maybe they should give Valentin some privacy, but Valentin says, that’s not necessary. He and Bailey have no secrets, unlike others in this house. He tells Bailey that she’s a beautiful girl. He has to go, and they may never see one another again. At least not for a long, long time. But he wanted to say goodbye, and he doesn’t know how to find the strength to do that. So what shall they call this? He kisses Bailey’s head.

Carly sees Sonny in the hallway, and asks if he’s been in to see Sasha, but he says he was waiting for her. She thanks him, and says she’s ready. He says, let’s do this, and takes her hand. Brando asks if he can get Sasha anything, but she says, the only thing she needs is for their baby to get healthy, and she knows he will. No child made by a sword and defender of man can be otherwise. He says, Sasha means defender of man? and she says she looked it up when she looked up Brando. He says, strong willed son, daddy is a sword, and mommy defends them both. They’re quite the family. She says, family. She can’t tell him how good that sounds. Family, people she can lean on. Brando says, when she’s scared, and vulnerable, and she says, she’s not the Face of Deception. He says, he’s her family, she’s his family, and Liam’s their family. She says, small… and he says, but plenty big in heart. There’s a knock at the door, and Carly and Sonny come in. Carly says, rumor has it they’re up for visitors, and Sasha says, the more, the merrier. Carly hugs her, and Sonny hugs Brando. Sonny tells Brando, they have his and Sasha’s back. If they need anything, just ask.

Austin sees Britt, and says he just met her brother. She says, he’s not a brother to her; they share a father. Austin says Peter is his patient now, and Britt asks if he wants to be taken off the case, but he says, not at all. He wants to keep on it.

Peter is wheeled down the hall, accompanied by two officers, and he says, how about if he passes on that CT scan? He’s been feeling claustrophobic since that tunnel fell on him. No? All right. In that case, he’ll take a very large muscle relaxant. At the other end of the hall, the elevator doors open, and Nina comes out on the phone. She says she’s running late, and probably won’t make it to the office. She turns to get back in the elevator, but the doors have just closed. Peter is being wheeled toward her, and says, Nina Reeves. Look at her. Still alive and well. It looks like they’re both extra hard to kill.

Valentin shows Bailey a tiny stuffed bear, and says, this is the oldest thing he has. It was his, and got him through some tough nights. He wants her to have it. Drew and Maxie stand quietly just outside the door, and Valentin says, and one day, Bailey will ask her mommy and  daddy where it came from, and they’ll have to tell her it came from someone that loved her so much.

Carly says, they came to cheer Sasha and Brando up, not make them emotional. Brando tells her, they were just saying how important it is to have family to lean on, and Carly says, it is, and Sasha and Brando have them. And they have each other. She and Sonny know how terrifying it is waiting to hear about your baby’s health. Sasha says, Brando told her that Donna had spina bifida. They must have been scared out of their minds. Sonny says, that’s an understatement, and Brando asks how they got through it. Sonny says, they leaned heavily on each other, and Carly says, when she was scared, Sonny let her be scared. He really was strong for her. Sonny says, and she was for him. Carly says, frightening as it was, it brought them closer together, and Sonny says, he’s sure it’s doing the same for them, right? Sasha says she’s sorry they missed Thanksgiving. It must have been wonderful having everyone together. Sonny says, next year, all three of them are coming, and Brando says, they look forward to it. Carly asks if they’ve named their son yet, and Brando says, Liam Mike, short for Michael, after the man who was so good to him when he was growing up. Sonny says his dad would have been very honored, and Brando asks if Sonny wants to see him. Sonny says he’s been waiting for Brando to ask, and they leave. Sasha says, Brando wants to be so strong for her, and Carly takes her hand.

Maxie jets, and Drew follows. Chase tells Brook, he knows Valentin said otherwise, but let’s give him some privacy. Valentin asks Anna not to go, and she stay’s behind. She tells Bailey, it’s quite a little gift Valentin is giving her, and tells Valentin, so beautiful. Outside, Drew asks Maxie, what’s wrong? and she says, it upsets her to see someone separated from a child they love. Brook says, it couldn’t be helped, and Chase tells Drew, Valentin thought he was Bailey’s father, and Drew says, and Chase is; Monica told him. He knows Valentin and the Quartermaines have had their issues, but he might not be there if not for Valentin, Anna, and his brother Jason, may he rest in peace. Maxie quickly walks away.  

Britt asks if Austin feels this loyalty to all the mothers of the babies he’s delivered, and he says, given the circumstances of Louise’s birth, and her bizarre disappearance, can she blame him? She says, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep an eye on Peter, and he says, right. Your enemy’s enemy and all that. She says he has a peculiar habit of being around when things go wrong, whether it’s Maxie giving birth in the woods, or Peter showing up at GH, and he says, and when she loses a dear friend? He doesn’t think things could get much worse, so let’s hope they get better soon.

Nina asks why Peter is here. Why isn’t he locked up in Pentenville? Peter says, she didn’t hear about Jason nearly killing. Because of Jason, he requires medical attention. Nina says, what a shame. Too bad his aim wasn’t better. Peter tells the officers that he and Nina are practically family, and they know how family squabbles can get. Tell him, did her friend Mike finally fly to her rescue, or what? She gets down so they’re face to face, and says, you son of a bitch. There’s a place in hell reserved just for you. He says, people keep telling him that, but he ventures to think she’ll beat him there.

Sasha tells Carly, she made a vow; no more waterworks. Her baby and Brando need her. Carly says, Liam and Brando need her to be healthy, which means she needs to rest. And like it or not, it means doing what the nurses tell her. Sasha says, Epiphany and Elizabeth are having great fun bossing her around, and Carly laughs, saying, she bets. She knows it’s not the experience Sasha looked for, but it sounds like she’ll be able to go home soon. Sasha says, and they’re taking Liam Mike with them. Carly says she likes the name. She kisses Sasha’s forehead, and says she’s going to go, and let Sasha rest. Sasha thanks Carly for being a good friend to her, and Carly says, her pleasure. She’s always here for Sasha. Always. She leaves, and Sasha picks up her and looks at Liam’s picture. She says, you hear that, Liam. You will be coming home with us.

Brando tells Sonny, the tubes feed Liam, and he has a special blanket to cool him down, to help his brain recover from the lack of oxygen. Sonny says, it sounds backwards, and Brando laughs, saying, you’d think it was to keep him warm, but it’s the opposite. Sonny says, you’re never more raw and vulnerable as when you become a father, and Brando asks how Sonny does it. How does he handle the constant fear? Sonny says, you just don’t let it dominate your life. He always pictures Donna’s smile, Avery’s laugh. Kristina, Michael, and Dante are all grown up, but he still worries about them. He’s not Josslyn’s biological father, but he considers her his daughter; he’s her dad. One thing he’s learned about raising kids is, you have absolutely no control. Brando says, that’s a lesson that’s tough for him to learn, but Sonny says, Brando did a great job. He gave his son a great name; Liam Mike. A little Irish charm; his dad’s fighting spirit. Brando asks what makes Sonny sure Liam’s got it, and Sonny says, what makes him think Liam’s not a quitter? Because it runs in the family.

Britt says she has the feeling Austin doesn’t want to keep tabs on Peter out of some professional interest. Austin says he is concerned about Maxie’s physical and emotional well-being, especially now that he’s met the father of her child. Britt says, no one is underestimating the harm Peter is capable of causing, but he’s under guard 24/7, and once he’s released from the hospital, he’ll be locked away for the rest of his unnatural life. Austin says, maybe, but after spending even just a little time with him, he doesn’t sound like a guy who’s giving up on getting his family back. He sounds like a high stakes poker player who’s very pleased with himself because he still has an ace up his sleeve.

Valentin walks into the foyer with Bailey, and tells her, in France, they say, au revoir, mon cheri, which means, until we meet again. Au revoir, mon cheri. He tries not to cry, and gives Bailey to Brook. He and Anna leave, and Brook sighs. Outside, Valentin cries, and Anna holds him. She asks, it’s done. Is he okay? She takes his face in her hands, and says, ready to go? He nods.

Maxie grabs her coat and bag, and says, too many lies, too many hearts broken and lives destroyed. This has to stop. She walks out.

Nina asks the guards if she and Peter could have a second. He’s not going to go anywhere; please? Peter tells them, he’ll be fine. They can go. They leave (highly unlikely IRL), and Nina leans down again, and asks what Peter is intending. He says, me? and she says, yeah, you. He says he doesn’t have to lift a finger. She sealed her own fate in beautiful Nixon Falls when she fell in love with another woman’s husband, and not just any woman, the feisty Carly Corinthos. Frankly, he’s surprised to see Nina in town. He would have thought Carly had run her out of town on a rail by now, right after tarring and feathering her first of course (🍷)… or doesn’t she know. Nina gets up to see Carly standing behind Peter. Rut-roh.

On Monday, Chase says there’s something someone needs to know, Laura wants out of the safe house now, Sonny sees why Britt was special to Jason, and Peter tells Nina to let Carly be the judge of that.
