00:16of Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

00:24ever-evolving art form right here to you.

01:17¶¶ ¶¶
01:27¶¶ ¶¶
01:49Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to
01:52do something I've never done before.
01:56¶¶ ¶¶
01:59I'm going to dedicate this performance
02:02to my parents.
02:05¶¶ ¶¶
02:08Brooklyn Quartermaine and Dante Falconeri.
02:12¶¶ ¶¶
02:15Two people who didn't want me.
02:17Who didn't claim me.
02:20They gave me away
02:23and have lied to me my entire life!
02:26¶¶ ¶¶
02:29¶¶ ¶¶
02:32¶¶ ¶¶
02:35¶¶ ¶¶
02:38¶¶ ¶¶
02:41¶¶ ¶¶
02:44¶¶ ¶¶
02:47¶¶ ¶¶
02:57¶¶ ¶¶
03:01That was intense.
03:02And for the nurses' ball.
03:04Poor Gio.
03:07¶¶ ¶¶
03:09Elizabeth?
03:10It's me, Lucas.
03:11Come in.
03:13¶¶ ¶¶
03:15What are you doing here?
03:19Happy Nurses Ball!
03:29Okay, well, didn't I tell you guys?
03:32I mean, anything can happen at the Nurses Ball.
03:36And it just did.
03:38But never fear.
03:40The show will go on.
03:42It must go on.
03:44I'm sure it's like a tiny hiccup, I guess.
03:47You know, if you have a hiccup, you can drink upside down from a glass of water.
03:50Have you guys ever heard that?
03:52No?
03:53Okay, what about a bag?
03:55I read that if you breathe in and out of a bag, you know, that'll stop the hiccups, right?
04:00You know what?
04:02About this time, I bet some of you would like to grab a bag for obvious reasons.
04:05Let's get a drink or get a broom.
04:10We're gonna get the show going again, and it'll be more fabulous than it was before.
04:15What the hell is she talking about?
04:17Anywho, an intermission would be appropriate.
04:20Let's do an intermission, okay?
04:22And please, nobody leave.
04:24We do go to the bar.
04:26Maybe have a drink or two drinks, perhaps.
04:29And bid on silent auction items.
04:32I'm gonna figure something out, and we are gonna do something.
04:35I'm just gonna do that now.
04:41Hey!
04:47Ah, for the first time in maybe ever, I'm actually glad to see you.
04:52Thanks, I guess.
04:54The prisoner's in there.
04:57Oh, please, this is not the time for your strong, silent act.
05:11Get me out of here!
05:17Sunny.
05:23Sunny.
05:27Sunny.
05:31Lulu, don't.
05:34You've done enough.
05:44Can this be true?
05:46Is J-Ho her grandson?
05:49Did you know anything about Brooklyn having a baby?
05:54I'm embarrassed.
05:55Come on!
05:56Embarrassed to say I did not.
05:58I've...
06:00Chase?
06:01What the hell is going on?
06:17What was that?
06:19Like, what the hell just happened in there, man?
06:23You wanted to talk to me, right? So let's talk.
06:26I know. I know this is a lot to take in.
06:29What is this? What do you know about this?
06:31I don't know the whole story. I don't.
06:34I know one thing for sure.
06:36Brooklyn had your baby.
06:54I'm sorry.
07:05Diane's on a call with the judge right now.
07:08I should hope so.
07:09Yeah, once they're finished, I'll post bail and you'll be released.
07:12Bail?
07:14The charges should be dropped.
07:16I was framed by that wretched brother of yours.
07:18Okay, even if that happened...
07:20Even if...
07:22Drew sailed up to the boathouse in that barge of his,
07:26then he trespassed on our property,
07:28and he planted that... that...
07:32Ketamine?
07:33Yeah, that. In my car.
07:35And then he called the PCPD
07:38and gave them some lie about how I had drugged him.
07:41Yeah, that's probably what happened.
07:43It is what happened.
07:46Why are you giving me the dead eye?
07:48I was just thinking, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to team up with Drew.
07:58Could this...
08:00really be happening?
08:02Could... could Brooklyn and Dante be Gio's birth parents?
08:06Gio definitely thinks so.
08:08Oh, my gosh.
08:09To be told a lie like that your entire life,
08:12He looked crushed.
08:14I feel so bad for him.
08:16So do I.
08:18My gosh, of course you do.
08:20You know this feeling better than anybody.
08:22Um, yeah.
08:24When I found out that Curtis was my... my... my dad,
08:28that one little piece of information just changed everything.
08:32I wish there was something we could do for him.
08:35I mean, all we can do is just be a safe space for him when he needs us.
08:40Well, you are my safe space.
08:42I don't know what I'd do without you.
08:44I got you.
08:47Maybe we should find him.
08:50Yes, there you are.
08:53Wait a minute.
08:55What are you doing? Why aren't you in your costumes?
08:58We're not on for another 20 minutes.
09:01No, it's like half past now you're on. You're wrong. You gotta go now.
09:03Come on. Come on. Go. Change. Change.
09:05Go, girls. Go. Run like the wind.
09:07Come on. Go. Change. Change.
09:09Go, girls. Go. Run like the wind.
09:11Go.
09:13This really isn't my story to tell.
09:15Brooklyn had a baby?
09:17When?
09:19Olivia.
09:20No, you don't. Don't Olivia me.
09:22This is my family. This is our family we're talking about here.
09:25Is this true or is it not?
09:32Yes.
09:35Yes what?
09:38Yes, Brooklyn has a child when she was in high school.
09:42And it was Dante's?
09:44You need to talk to Brooklyn.
09:45Hold on a sec.
09:49Where did Gio get the idea that Dante and Brooklyn were his parents?
09:53I mean, it was clearly news to him, not something that he'd been sitting on.
09:56I have no idea how Gio pieces into this.
09:59For all I know, Gio's just as confused as you guys are.
10:02I bet I know who can clear it up.
10:10You don't mean Lois?
10:14Oh, Sonny.
10:16She was the first one to run out of the room after him.
10:21Lois has to know something.
10:25I'm sure of it.
10:33How do you know about this and I don't?
10:40I've known about the pregnancy since that summer.
10:44What?
10:46That's why Brooklyn left Camp Martha early.
10:48She was pregnant.
10:51And she went to you?
10:53She needed a ride to the bus and I took her and I...
10:57She was freaking out, man.
10:59Freaking out because she was pregnant with my kid?
11:05And you knew about this?
11:08And you didn't tell me?
11:10I'm your best friend. I'm supposed to be your best friend.
11:13And you didn't tell me. Why didn't you tell me?
11:15Brooklyn swore me to secrecy.
11:17I know that's not a great excuse, but I just...
11:20I didn't know what to do, man. I was young. I was stupid.
11:23And then when I didn't hear anything about it, I just assumed that...
11:26I assumed that she had terminated the pregnancy.
11:28So what would be the point in telling you?
11:31But...
11:33She didn't end the pregnancy. She had...
11:36The baby.
11:38My baby?
11:40I just found that out yesterday, I swear.
11:44And that baby was...
11:50Is...
11:53You.
11:56Gio...
11:58Palmieri is my son.
12:01Yeah.
12:07My brain is, like, short-circuiting right now, man.
12:10I don't blame you.
12:15So that little kid that I used to see lighting sparklers on the Fourth of July block party, that...
12:23That was my boy.
12:25Yeah.
12:31Did Brooklyn know?
12:34That I don't know. You're gonna have to ask her.
12:42Oh, good. You're watching it.
12:44What, the nurses? Well, of course I am.
12:46The nurses were fantastic. I think they knew I was there with them in spirit.
12:51Oh, my spirit was there, too.
12:53But it was staying off the stage and keeping completely dressed this year.
12:58Yeah, speaking of being dressed, aren't you a little overdressed?
13:03Well, I was working tonight, and I knew that you'd be home tonight because of your injured wheel,
13:08so I thought I would bring the nurse's ball to you.
13:14Aw. Well, I'm sorry. You are destined to be disappointed by your date,
13:18because she's not changing, and she's not gonna look as hot as you do.
13:22Well, that's what you say now, but...
13:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There it is. There's the heat.
13:33I don't want your pity heat.
13:35And you don't have it. That works on you. You've got the perfect head for a tiara.
13:40Right? I've been saying that all my life.
13:42I'm sorry. I don't have one for Lucky.
13:44Oh, that's all right. He stepped out to run an errand. I'll fill him in on everything he missed.
13:49I'm sure he's in a rush to get back.
13:51Yeah. Well, then he is missing out. Unless... Are you on a medication?
13:57I am not.
13:59Then he is definitely missing out.
14:08Teaming up with Drew was inspired.
14:10Until it wasn't. Look where you are.
14:12I have no regrets over what I did.
14:15But Drew is gonna regret what he did.
14:19I don't know how she does it.
14:21Diana's worked her magic again.
14:23The judge signed off. You're free to go.
14:25About time.
14:34What do you need me to do?
14:40You're lucky I don't sue this entire department.
14:43For what?
14:45Let's see. False arrest springs to mind.
14:47Anyone with a brain can see I was framed.
14:50I'd get a move on, Tracy.
14:52Unless you want me to arrest you again for harassment.
14:55Who am I harassing?
14:56You're looking at him.
14:58We good here?
15:02I'd say I'll miss you, but...
15:04Feelings mutual. Take me home.
15:06I can't. You have to find another ride.
15:09What?
15:10I got some place to be.
15:12Well, someone's gotta take me home.
15:15We're not a taxi service.
15:18But it just so happens you're in luck.
15:20Oh, really?
15:21Yeah. Remember, eight bus stops right out front.
15:34Okay.
15:36How did Gio find out? Did you tell him?
15:39No. Carly, I would never do that.
15:42Okay, but?
15:45But I...
15:46I did confront Lois in one of the dressing rooms.
15:50It's possible Gio overheard.
15:52Lulu!
15:54I gotta find Dante. I gotta explain.
15:57Wait, why do you need to find Dante?
15:58What do you mean, why?
15:59Look, it doesn't matter how Gio found out.
16:01The point is that Gio and Dante know the truth, right?
16:04That's what you wanted all along.
16:06Not like this.
16:07Okay.
16:08Dante needs to learn the truth,
16:10but he needs to hear it from the people who are actually involved.
16:13That is Lois and Brooklyn, not you.
16:16You need to calm down.
16:18Because for better or worse, you're the one that set this train in motion,
16:21and you need to get off the track before you get leveled.
16:27Where are you going?
16:30I'm gonna go watch my daughter perform.
16:33I suggest you do the same.
16:37The decision's yours.
16:44Lois is my best friend.
16:46How could she not let me know that we shared a grandchild?
16:49How could she not let any of us know?
16:55Dante.
16:56Where's Brooklyn?
16:57Baby, are you okay?
16:58I don't know what I am, Brooklyn.
16:59Did you know about this at all?
17:01Did you?
17:02Did you?
17:04None of us knew any about this.
17:06Did you know, Dante?
17:07This is crazy.
17:09Yeah, we got lots to talk about, but right now I just want to find Brooklyn.
17:12No one knows where she went.
17:16She didn't tell you?
17:18No.
17:26Wait a minute.
17:27I can't let my wife go through this alone.
17:29Listen to me, okay?
17:30This isn't just about Brooklyn anymore.
17:33This is about Dante.
17:35And they need to hash it out.
17:37You understand what I'm saying?
17:40And we have to let them.
17:57Hi.
17:58Hi, everybody.
17:59See?
18:00See?
18:01We're back.
18:02And it's fine, right?
18:03Everything's fine.
18:04It's going to be fine.
18:05Well, actually, it's going to be more than fine.
18:07It's going to be fabulous.
18:09Because our next act is very special.
18:11It's a powerful ballad by two of our PCU students.
18:15You know how they say that saying about what's wrong with kids today?
18:19Well, these two are perfect examples about what's absolutely right.
18:26Trina Robinson and Jocelyn Jacks.
18:31Yeah.

21:53Hi.
21:54Hi.
21:56Hi.
21:57Hi.
21:58Hi.
22:15Nice to meet you.
22:16It's more fun watching the ball with someone else.
22:20I agree.
22:21I don't want to watch it alone.
22:22alone. Do you wish you were there? I don't know. As I recall, Brad proposed to you when
22:32you were at the nurses' ball. He did. And if I remember, Rick proposed to you at one
22:39as well. And then Carly shared an insider or two with the entire audience. Ah, traditions.
22:48Traditions never change. And some things do. To friends who get it. To friends who
22:58love you. Oh, I assume Wiley's going to be performing in the last song of the night with
23:07the other kids? Yeah. Yeah. As per tradition. And, you know, my initial instinct was to
23:16go and watch him perform. And then it hit me. I'm not the dad. And it's not my job
23:26to sit in the audience, oohing and aahing over my kid. While in the privacy of my living
23:33room, feel free to ooh and aah all you want. And if you want to gush, I would love to see
23:38it. Well then, buckle up, baby, because this is going to be a night to remember. And since
23:44we're in the privacy of my living room, we can say all the inappropriate things we want
23:48that we couldn't say if we were there. That does not sound like the Elizabeth Baldwin
23:52I know. Like what? Like those kids are going to be so off-key. Oh, savage. And Tracy was
24:01arrested on the red carpet. I wonder if she got tasered. What? Wait, wait, wait. I'm just
24:07hearing about this now. I am so glad I came. Me too. There she is. You were so absolutely
24:26wonderful on that stage. Amazing performance. It never sounded better. Oh, dad. No, I mean
24:32it. I see a lot of acts at the Savoy, and you and Joss killed it. Your dad's right. You blew
24:37me away. Really? It was the best act of the night. I'm sure. Hands down. But don't tell Lucy. We
24:46don't want anything else broken tonight. Nothing's going to top you and Joss tonight. Yeah, no way.
24:52Which is why me and your father are going to go ahead and head home. Oh, is everything okay?
25:01Yeah, everything's fine. It's just, you know, been a long day. We have to work in the morning.
25:07But obviously you should stay. Of course. Stay. Have fun. Socialize. Okay. Well,
25:15I love you guys. We love you too, honey. Thank you for coming. I wouldn't miss it. Now,
25:29can I get your autograph? Thanks for making that convincing. Well, I didn't want to ruin
25:39Trina's night. Look how happy she is. Yeah. It's easy in the beginning, isn't it?
25:59You guys were so good. So good. Thank you. Born performers. Oh, well, it was stop and go
26:07in the beginning because we weren't supposed to go on until after Anna and Chase's performance.
26:12But then Gio did whatever Gio did. What do I even call that? I don't know. I don't know. It
26:19was awful. It was devastating. Lucy threw us on last minute. You would have never known.
26:26You would have never known that you were put on the spot. You guys were amazing. And I'm so proud.
26:30Thank you. But I can't stop thinking about Gio. I feel awful. I mean, if he's right,
26:39then what? Sonny's his grandfather. I mean, what are we? Can we please talk to you for a second?
26:46In private, preferably. Are you OK? Yeah. OK. Well, let me know if you need anything. I'll call
26:56you. I want to end this terrible fight over the kids. It's not good for anyone,
27:04but especially not Wylie and Amelia. We want a peaceful path moving forward. That's why we're
27:10willing to find common ground. So I guess the question is, are you? I got to find Dante.
27:22OK, I know you're hurting and you don't want to hear anything I got to say. I heard what you had
27:29to say, Sonny. But this is huge. This is life altering, relationship changing. Nothing is
27:37ever going to be the same kind of huge. OK, we have to let our son handle this himself.
27:45He knows where to find us if he needs our support.
27:51Same goes to you and Brooklyn. Now, you know what we need to do? We need to go back into
27:58that ballroom and distract our minds and let the kids do what they're going to do.
28:13Brooklyn clearly confided in you for that. I am truly grateful
28:17that you want to know why she didn't tell you the truth. Her father.
28:21Did she think that she couldn't trust me with that?
28:28Even you have to admit that we have the upper hand when it comes to the custody hearing.
28:33I don't believe that at all.
28:36I was being delusional. Carly, I.
28:43But Willow and I have talked and we really want to try to find some compromise.
28:48Some compromise. It would really be nice if you could speak for yourself.
28:54We're a unit, Carly. Oh, I know the whole ballroom knows.
28:59But these kids are Willow's and Michael's, not yours.
29:06Drew and I believe together we can come up with a custody arrangement that satisfies both sides.
29:12Great. Join custody. Carly, let's be realistic. I'm being realistic.
29:18We're willing to let Michael have the kids every other weekend.
29:21Plus two weeks in the summer. Oh, really? Well, that way,
29:24if we move to Washington, then it won't be as much of a burden on the kids.
29:29You would agree to that? Moving Wylie and Amelia to D.C.
29:34And don't even get me started with you. Scout just lost her mother. But hey,
29:38let's take her away from her remaining family. We are the family that Scout needs.
29:43It was never my intention to take the kids away from Michael. They love their father.
29:47I know they love him. I know that. It's a fair deal.
29:53I'll see you in court.
30:00Well, you can't say we didn't try. You may want to run after, but grab some tissues first.
30:09The best part about this is that when you lose Michael's kids, he's only going to have you.
30:17To blame.
30:24I just feel so terrible that Brooklyn had to go through all of that, and I had no idea.
30:30She couldn't have known. Well, I should have.
30:33I should have known. So I could have been there for my little girl.
30:37And my God, going through a pregnancy and labor at that age,
30:46and then giving the child up for adoption.
30:50Can't even imagine what she went through and how it affected her emotionally.
30:55Ned, look. I know. I know. I need to talk to Brooklyn about this.
31:00Your daughter, she loves you so much, and she agonized over keeping that part of her life
31:06from you. Then why did she? I think she thought the truth might hurt you.
31:13But is that really what Brooklyn thought? Or what Lois made her think?
31:36And supporting HIV and AIDS research. This is really amazing, and it's thanks to all of you.
31:44You guys have been so patient and so generous, and I'm just so proud to be a part of all of you.
31:50And thanks to our amazing performers and our incredible hardworking crew,
31:56and all the people that spend those tiny jobs that make this night possible.
32:00Please, please give yourself all a big, big round of applause.
32:06Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
32:09I cannot believe you have all these just lying around.
32:14Aiden is always perfecting his craft.
32:16Look at it as a gift, if that does not come from you.
32:21Be insulted if that weren't true.
32:25So what else did I miss while I was working and driving over?
32:29Did anyone face plant on the nurse's ball red carpets?
32:34Oh, just the one arrest, and the quartermans have a new family member.
32:39Wait, did someone, like, give birth on stage?
32:43Oh, exactly.
32:45Oh, it's back on.
32:49Okay, now, I'm also very, very excited, because we're going to have our last performance.
32:56These are five up-and-comers, and it's so special,
33:00because they're going to close out this wonderful, amazing evening
33:06by reminding all of us what is truly important.
33:11Please enjoy.
33:22OMG, how cute are they?
33:26The cutest.
33:30You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back.
33:42Where there is love, I'll be there, I'll be there.
33:52I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do.
34:04Just call my name, and I'll be there, I'll be there to comfort you,
34:18build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you.
34:25I'll be there with the love that's strong, I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on.
34:40Yes, I will.
34:42Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter, togetherness is all I'm after.
34:53Whenever you need me, I'll be there, I'll be there to protect you.
35:07With an unselfish love that will save you, just call my name, and I'll be there,
35:25I'll be there to comfort you, build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you.
35:36I'll be there with the love that's strong, I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on.
35:52If you should ever find someone new, I know he better be good to you,
36:04cause if he doesn't, I'll be there, don't you know baby, yeah, yeah, I'll be there, I'll be there.
36:26Just call my name, and I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there.
36:45I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there, don't you know baby, I'll be there, I'll be there.
37:06I'll be there, just call my name, and I'll be there.
37:36The role of Michael Parentos is now being played by Rory Gibson.
38:06Come on buddy, we're going home.
38:25On the next General Hospital, following them would be a bad idea, I don't know if we made the right call.
38:36Are you sure you want to do this?
38:38We're not stopping you, we're coming with you.
38:40Make him see that a compromise is what's best.
38:42What you did is unforgivable.
38:44I'll take another step.
