I am sorry that Gio is hurting, but the only reason this day is so hard for him is because of the close bond that he and Camilla had, because they were each other's entire world. I thank God for that. There was always one question that haunted me. Was your child loved. Were they loved as much as I would have loved them. And now you know that he was. Yes, I know that now. My prayers were answered, but still it makes me sad that I'll never have the same kind of relationship that he and Camilla had. You don't know that. Life is long. Gio isn't done writing his story yet.

We can't just do something, for the sake of doing something.

He's going to come around. He might. Oh, but Dante. Dante, on the other hand, I just wish I could have come clean with him on my own terms instead of keeping my mother and grandmother's secrets. Brook Lynn you had no idea that you were doing that to Dante and to Gio. No. I just believed my mother when she said somehow that it would be better for my son if I didn't go looking for him. But you know what I didn't have to because Lulu did it for me. Even though I begged and pleaded with her to keep quiet about it. I thought I had convinced her to. I'm sorry that didn't work out. I trusted her. Just like I did with my mother and grandmother. But all that blind trust ends now. What does that mean? What are you going to do? I'm going to remind people to never come for Brook Lynn Quartermaine.

When all those questions started coming up about my son, where is he, and what happened to him. I should have done something. What would you have done? I should have done what I'd do. Push and push until I get my way. As soon as Lulu came to me and told me she'd found Martin Grey's notes I should have ground him down for every piece of information that he had. I should have gone looking for my son. Say you would have looked for your son and it lead you to Gio. You do realize that he could still be just as angry at you? Only if I told him who I was. Do you think you would have? I know I would have wanted to, but I also wouldn't have wanted to destroy his memories of Camilla. At least he would have known how much I wanted to find him, instead of thinking that I didn't want him at all. He's going to come around.

You and Dante are unbelievable. I was just trying to do the right thing, and you two have to keep thinking the worst of me.

Glad to hear that Dante doesn't believe your act either.

You know what? Fine. Blame me, but at least now you and Gio know you are mother and son. However that plays out now is up to you, I'm out.

All of this could have been different if you had just come to me first and let me decide whether or not to tell Gio the truth.

Honestly, I thought you would just keep lying.
