ABCOn the pier, Peter tells Maxie that she can say goodbye to their daughter now or come with them to be a family forever. He warns her not to stall. A ship honks and Peter prods her to make a choice. It was hard enough saying goodbye to her when she was born; she doesn’t think she’s strong enough to do it again.

Peter insists that he loves her and wants them to be a family the way they were supposed to be. “There really is no choice,” she says. He assumes there is a catch. Maxie suggests that if they can get out of Port Charles, he could become the man she fell in love with. August swears that will happen and he will be the best husband and father possible. Shaking her head, Maxie says she will go, but they have to leave Louise behind.

He can’t believe what she’s asking after he spent a year searching for his daughter. Maxie reminds him that he’s wanted by agencies around the world and they will constantly be pursued. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds him. They’ll have to continually changed their identities and never be able to have a stable home. If they leave her, she can have that.

Sobbing, Peter refuses to abandon his child. Maxie says they can have another baby and she’s leaving Georgie behind too. He can’t believe that she will just forget everything that’s happened and start over with him. She claims she’s willing to take a second chance.

After they hug, she wants to call Brook Lynn. He rejects that and tells her he knows where they need to go and what they need to do.

They go to the fire house to leave Louise anonymously. There’s a special spot to leave her that will alarm the fire fighters she’s there and they will look after her. When he opens the hatch, Maxie can’t do it. He tells her she has to.

Putting Louise inside, Maxie cries and tells her she will be safe and cared for. Maybe one day she will understand that no one loved her more than her mom. Peter promises the three of them will be together again one day and closes the door.

At the beach house, Chase tells Brook Lynn that Peter has disappeared into thin air. She can’t believe she didn’t hear him waltzing in to take the baby. He tries to assures her none of this is her fault. Finn and Liz arrive. The doctor can’t understand why August would take Bailey. “Bailey isn’t Bailey,” Chase says.

Finn is confused so Brook Lynn steps up to explain things. This leads to more confusion at first, but eventually everything is clear. She’s been claiming Bailey as her own to protect Louise from Peter. Liz thinks she’s amazing. Finn says she went above and beyond to help a friend. Brook Lynn admits she did it for selfish reasons to get one over on Valentin.

Chase explains he didn’t find out what was happening until the day he claimed to be Bailey’s father. Weeping, Brook Lynn repeats that she did this for selfish reasons, but never knew how much she would grow to care for the baby. Finn explains that Valentin was found behind a dumpster and they suspect he was drugged. Brook Lynn wants to see him and runs out the door.

Chase gets angsty. His brother asks if he’s thought about what doing all this could do to his career. Chase admits the truth is already out and gets upset about how he’s failed. His brother hugs him and tells him he did good as he cries. The cop finds that hard to believe. Finn says Peter drives people to the dark side.

The brothers discuss how Finn almost killed Peter. Driving him to that was evil. He drives people like them into people like him. Chase still blames himself for letting Bailey get nabbed. Finn says he did his best. It’s probably a good thing he never told dad and Jackie he was a father. But he will have to tell Violet she doesn’t have a cousin.
