She knew she it was a party that she was behind. Philip gave her a chance to pay her back for what she did. Lucas was at the DiMera mansion to see Sami. He thought about how he found the letter. Sami wondered why he was there. He wanted to talk about what happened at Eric and Nicole’s anniversary party. Lucas couldn’t believe what she did to Nicole. She tried to deny it, but he knew what she did. He said he was choking on her hypocrisy because she did the same thing to EJ. He wanted to know how she would react if someone did the same thing to her. He admitted that he almost told EJ what they did. Nicole read the letter Kristen wrote. She realized that Sami did cheat on EJ. Philip told Nicole that Lucas fell in love with Sami. She wondered why Philip didn’t give the letter to Lucas. Belle insulted Sami to EJ.

Ciara told Allie that she didn’t want to hear about her last wedding. She promised not to say anything about it. Ben went over his plan to take Ciara from the wedding. Claire told him that it was a dangerous plan. He reminded her that her grandfather did the same thing. She reminded him that she wasn’t allowed at the wedding. Lucas told Sami he loved her. She told him not to do this because she was with EJ. Lucas said he loved her, which was why he didn’t tell EJ the truth. He said he didn’t understand why she loved EJ so much after the way he treated her. He said he wouldn’t tell the secret because he loved her. She thanked him for being willing to keep the secret. She said she was sorry for dragging him into this. He said he wasn’t because he loved her. Nicole went to see EJ. He didn’t want to hear what she had to say. He said he didn’t want to hear what she had to say about Sami. He said it was her own fault that she was exposed. Nicole asked him what he thought about what Sami did. She asked if he thought it was okay for Sami to play God with someone else’s life. He said it wasn’t Sami’s fault that Xander wanted to brag about his conquest. Nicole told him his sister wrote him a letter. EJ read the letter. Nicole told him that he got to read it in private. She said that Sami made sure Eric found out in a public place. Allie agreed to help Ben. Claire told Ben that people would look for Ciara if she weren’t at the church. She had an idea to have them think she was marrying Theo.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Ben had a dream about his wedding to Ciara. He looked at the wedding picture when someone was knocking on the door. He thought it was Ciara. It turned out to be Allie. She said she tried to talk Ciara out of getting married, but it didn’t work. She said she thought she might have gotten through to her about her love of Ben. He said he had to do something before it was too late.

Claire saw Ciara at her house getting ready for the wedding. Claire tried to talk Ciara out of getting married. While Claire was talking to her, Ciara slapped her. Claire hit her with a bouquet. Shawn broke up the fight. He told Claire to leave. Claire said it was her house. Ciara said it was her mother’s house. She asked where Hope was. He said Hope’s plane had mechanical problems and had to turn back around. He said Hope wanted her to go through with the ceremony. Claire said Ciara was only marrying Theo because she was afraid of remembering her love for Ben. She called her a coward. Shawn tried to convince Ciara not to marry Theo. He said it was too fast. When she got emotional, he stopped talking. He apologized to her. She said she wished Hope was there. Julie showed up and told them Doug was hurt and needed surgery. She said they were going to miss the wedding. She gave Ciara the gift before she left. Ciara thought the wedding was getting off to a great start. He wondered if this was a sign telling her not to get married. She said she didn’t believe in signs like that anymore. She said she was going to marry Theo. Claire went to see Ben. She told him about the fight she had with Ciara. She said he was better off without Ciara. He said he was never giving up on Ciara. He said he was determined to stop her from marrying Theo. He said he had a plan. He said he was going to kidnap her before she married Theo. Claire said it was just like what Bo did with Hope. Claire questioned whether it was a good idea.

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Suzanne

Finn is watching Violet play T-Ball in the park. He brought her team snacks of carrots and orange slices, which disappoints her because they’re “too healthy.” Elizabeth arrives just in time to share Aiden’s cupcakes with her team instead. Finn is very grateful. He thanks her for saving from his daughter not speaking to him for a week. They wish their other problem could be solved so easily – disposing of Peter’s frozen body. Finn regrets that Elizabeth was involved, but she doesn’t. In a very cute scene, Finn reviews with Violet how to hit the ball with her bat. Finn and Elizabeth talk about how to get Peter’s body out of General Hospital without anyone seeing. At the same time, they’re watching the T-Ball game and cheering Violet on. Finn thinks it’s terrible that they’re talking about a human being this way, but Elizabeth counters that Peter deserved what he got. Meanwhile, Violet hits her ball and runs the bases. Elizabeth tells Finn that if anything happened to him (such as getting arrested), she would take care of Violet. He’s grateful to her. He worries that someone saw them, but she thinks that someone would have come forward by now. They can get on with their lives. Violet catches the ball and her team wins. She goes to celebrate with her coach and teammates. Finn just wants to give Violet a safe and stable home. Elizabeth assures Finn that they’ll deal with their big problem together.

Jordan runs into Laura at the PCPD. Laura asks how Shawn and Alexis are doing. Laura is worried about the calls that they’re making (because they might be too optimistic when they talk to their kids).
Alexis and Shawn are at the PCPD, talking to Molly and TJ on the phone. TJ and Molly are out celebrating their domestic partnership at the Metro Court. Alexia and Shawn tell them to make sure to have fun. Shawn and Alexis worry that they’ll get sent back to Pentonville. Someone leaked to the press about the investigation into Judge Carson’s sentencing bias, so they wonder if that will help their situations. Alexis admits that being in solitary was really awful. Laura and Jordan walk in. Laura tells them that the AG is going to make investigating Judge Carson her top priority. However, she cautions them that politicians can sometimes work at a very slow speed. Laura tells them that the governor will take action after the investigation. Jordan tells them that Alexis will be going to a facility right outside Port Charles called Spring Ridge, which is a nicer place (described as a spa with guards). They’re glad to hear it, but Alexis is still worried about Shawn and the other people that the Judge sentenced unfairly. Laura gets called away by the governor. Alexis texts Molly to give her the good news. Laura returns to tell them that the national press picked up the story about Judge Carson and her biased sentencing. He is commuting Shawn’s sentence – he can go free. They’re all very happy to hear it. Shawn wonders about the other people that the judge has been unfair to. Laura assures him that the governor will be speeding up the process of reviewing all the sentencing, but it’ll take some time. Alexis praises Laura’s skills. Laura relates that she just pointed out to the governor that his poll numbers might slip in the upcoming election if he didn’t correct this terrible injustice. Alexis then praises Shawn for helping her, and being a model prisoner. Shawn wants to call TJ, but instead, Jordan gets the idea that Shawn should surprise TJ in person instead.

Alexis is thrilled that Laura has brought her some coffee because the coffee in Pentonville is so bad. They talk about how Nikolas helped Alexis out when she was in prison. Laura admits that he does seem more like his old self now. Alexis is shocked when Laura mentions that Nikolas and Ava have a stalker.

Nikolas sends some Champagne over to TJ and Molly’s table. They invite him to sit down with them, so he does. They all catch up on what’s been going on with Alexis in prison. Nikolas is saddened to learn that Alexis was put into solitary. He’s shocked to hear that Shawn might be getting out of jail. In fact, he looks a little panicked. They toast Molly for helping to expose Judge Carson’s bias. Nikolas looks like he’s feeling guilty when TJ talks about his dad being denied parole and that they hoped he would be back in time for TJ to graduate from medical school. TJ is overjoyed when Shawn walks in, a free man. They hug. Nikolas congratulates him. Shawn tells them all that he plans to find out who really tried to kill Hayden. Nikolas looks very worried.

Cam is applying sunscreen to Josslyn’s back at the Metro Court pool when Spencer shows up. They’re surprised to see him after all this times. Spencer assures them that he’s back for good. Cam, Joss and Spencer catch up, with Spencer and Cam trading insults. Spencer is being very snooty (especially about Josslyn playing volleyball), so Josslyn pushes him into the pool (fully dressed). Trina comes in and wonders who they’re talking about. Josslyn introduces Trina to Spencer after he climbs out of the pool. Trina stares at him, stunned. Spencer pretends that he’s never met Trina, so she plays along. When Cam brings up her friend, “Victor,” Trina insults him, saying that Victor is a “total jerk.” Spencer invites Trina over to the bar so that he can dry off and she can tell him about Ava’s art gallery. Joss wonders if Trina is interested in Spencer. Cam and Josslyn say sweet things to each other.

Spencer apologizes to Trina for lying to her, but she yells at him for pretending to be Victor. She demands the truth. He tells her that Victor was his great uncle. He didn’t want anyone to know that he was in town. He explains about some of his past history with Ava. He whines that if his father finds out that he was here, it might undo all of the progress they’ve made. Trina knows what it’s like to be angry with your father and not speak to him. She agrees not to tell anyone Spencer’s secret as long as he’s honest with her.

Joss and Cam come over and wonder why Spencer and Trina have been having such an intense conversation. Trina lies that they’ve been talking about her job. Cam and Spencer trade insults.

At Ryan’s Bar in New York City, Anna and Valentin continue to question Hopkins, the pilot that Peter hired to pick him up from General Hospital’s roof. He tells them that he wasn’t able to land and pick Peter up but lets them know that there was a man with him. They ask for details, so he tells them that the man was tall and was wearing a blue or grey suit. He thought the man was a detective. After that, they bring in some police to arrest and book him. Valentin and Anna wonder who that man was, and whether he was a friend or foe of Peter’s.

Recap written by Suzanne

Anna and Valentin, still interrogating Peter’s helicopter pilot in New York, learn that there was a man on the roof with Peter. They wonder who it could be and why he was there. Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Finn and Elizabeth watch Violet’s T-ball game while worrying about how they’re going to get rid of Peter’s dead body. At the Metro Court pool, Spencer catches up briefly with Cam and Josslyn. Trina “meets” Spencer and is furious that he’s been telling her that he’s “Victor.” He begs her not to tell anyone that he’s been lurking around town for weeks.

At the PCPD, Alexis and Shaun phone TJ and Molly to tell them to enjoy their night out of celebrating. Thanks to Laura’s intervention with the governor, Shaun is freed and Alexis gets to go to a much nicer prison, Spring Ridge. TJ and Molly fill Nikolas in at the Metro Court about what’s been going on with Alexis. He’s not pleased to hear that Shawn might get out. Later, Shaun comes by to surprise TJ and says he’s determined to find out who really tried to kill Hayden.

General Hospital Transcript

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Ava: Paul, I appreciate the protection. You know I do. But could you please maybe be just a little less obtrusive, like maybe 10 feet back, perhaps?

Paul: Sure, Mrs. Cassadine.

Ava: Jerome, okay? Ms. Jerome.

Paul: Jerome.

Ava: Trina.

Trina: Hey. How are you doing? [ Chuckles ] Thanks for meeting me.

Ava: Oh, no, it’s my absolute pleasure. Tell me, what’s going on in your life? How’s the new guy? Any developments?

Spencer: Looking for a chair? I saved one for you.

Britt: That line doesn’t work when I can sit anywhere.

Spencer: Come on. You know you want to sit next to me.

Britt: Spencer? [ Gasps ] Oh!

Shawn: First dinner as a free man. My compliments to the chef and the lady who made it happen.

Jordan: Oh, the chef and I thank you. Watching you eat that meal was truly a sight to behold.

Shawn: Why? Because I barely stopped to breathe?

[ Both laugh ]

Shawn: I’m glad you convinced TJ and molly to continue their romantic evening instead of hanging out with us.

Jordan: It took some doing, but did you see the smile on TJ’s face when he saw you walk in here?

Shawn: Well, he’ll get sick of me soon enough, since I’ll be staying with them at Alexis’ house.

Jordan: I don’t know, they both keep pretty busy schedules. I doubt you’ll see them much.

Shawn: Still, I want to get up from out of there, find my own place, get a job, and get on with what I need to do.

Jordan: That being…?

Shawn: Jordan, you know what I’m talking about. I intend to find out who really shot Hayden.

Terry: Finally.

Portia: I’m so sorry. It’s just all this paperwork.

Terry: It never ends, does it?

Portia: [ Sighs ]

Terry: I just have to change, but I’m so excited that you’re coming out for a drink tonight.

Portia: Me too. You know, I’m actually looking forward to a relaxing, uncomplicated evening. So, where do you want to go? Do you want to go to the Port Charles Grill or Metro Court?

Terry: Oh, no. The only place to be is opening night at The Savoy.

Curtis: Wow. How we doing?

N’neka: The Savoy signature cocktail is a definite hit.

Curtis: Well, hiring a mixologist was one of my smarter moves.

Brando: Curtis Ashford.

Curtis: Uh, Brando.

Brando: Yeah. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard nothing but good things about you.

Curtis: Well, thank you. And enjoy your time at The Savoy.

Brando: I will, man. And congratulations. This place is great.

Curtis: Thank you. I now leave you in the capable hands of my bartender, N’neka.

Brando: Hey.

N’neka: Hey. Try our signature Savoy?

Brando: Actually, house craft beer will be fine. And start a tab. This could be a long night.

Spinelli: Oh, I second that. Um, another vodka orange soda, barkeep. [ Clears throat ] Mr. Corbin. Have you too come to drown your sorrows?

Brando: Something like that.

Spinelli: Ah. Allow me to speculate. An affair of the heart.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Michael: Oh, oh, hey! Sorry! Sasha, I’m so sorry. One second. Uh…

Sasha: Thank you.

Michael: Oh, hey. “Infant nutrition,” “what to eat while you’re breastfeeding”? I’m sensing a doctor’s appointment.

Sasha: Close — nutrition class. Got to start this little person off right. What about you? Board meeting?

Michael: Close — visiting my grandmother. Well, you know, you got things figured out since our last conversation.

Sasha: I’m trying. I intend to give my baby everything he or she needs.

Michael: You know, you don’t have to do it all on your own. I’m sure Brando would want to be there.

Sasha: I’m sure he would. I’m just not so sure I want him to be.

Chase: Hey.

Willow: Hey.

Chase: Are you finished with class?

Willow: Yes. How about you? You almost ready to go?

Chase: Almost there.

physical therapist: You put in some good work today. Soon you’ll be over there walking.

Chase: Well, why wait? Let’s do this.

Jordan: I know how important clearing your name is to you. I’m just concerned about how you intend to do it.

Shawn: Carefully. Look, Jordan, I pled guilty even though I knew I was innocent because I knew I had things to atone for. But attempting to kill Hayden Barnes was not one of them. And taking responsibility for something I did not do, I inadvertently covered up a would-be murderer, someone who really wanted Hayden dead — and damn near succeeded. That person should be brought to justice.

Jordan: I know. But because you confessed and pled guilty, the D.A. suspended the investigation into Hayden’s shooting. Five years is long enough for a case to go cold. I mean, there is still a chance that the perp that made the attempt could be found.

Nikolas: I apologize for interrupting, but I need to know, has the PCPD made any progress per the search for Ava’s stalker?

Portia: You know, I’ve been looking forward to the Metro Court zucchini sticks all day.

Terry: I love them, too. Let’s go there for dinner after. The Savoy is drinks only.

Portia: We can get dinner and drinks there. You know, one-stop shopping.

Terry: It’s The Savoy’s opening night. I want to be where the action is.

Portia: Yeah, but that’s just it. It’s gonna be all crowded and noisy.

Terry: Who doesn’t love crowded and noisy?

Portia: Let’s just go another night. After all the hype and everything has gone down.

Terry: Okay, spill.

Portia: What?

Terry: What’s the real reason you don’t want to go?

Britt: When did you get back? Wait, is this why you ghosted me months ago? You were planning a surprise?

Spencer: I didn’t ghost you. I was busy with graduation. And then I took some time afterwards touring Europe.

Britt: Britt: Wow. Listen to you sounding all continental.

Spencer: Mm-hmm.

Britt: Let’s sit. I want to hear all about the crazy things you did to celebrate graduation.

Ava: Oh, no, don’t tell me that — what’s his name again?

Trina: Uh…

Ava: Victor. Please don’t tell me this Victor turned out to be some kind of creep.

Trina: Undecided.

Ava: What did he do?

Trina: He’s charming and fun, but he’s also totally unreliable. Plus, there’s some weirdness between him and his family, and I’m not sure what to do about it.

Chase: [ Grunts ]

Willow: There you go.

physical therapist: Now, I’m gonna let go of you. Let’s see if you can stand on your own.

Chase: Okay.

Willow: Chase!

Britt: Does Nikolas realize you’re home? Or does he think you’re still wandering around Europe?

Spencer: Father knows. I surprised him at Wyndemere.

Britt: So, things are better between you?

Spencer: Eh, define “better.”

Britt: Look, you had every right to be angry with him.

Spencer: But I should be over it by now?

Britt: He let you believe he was dead for three years. You thought you were an orphan. Those aren’t things anyone just gets over. And if you said you did, I’d be worried about you.

Spencer: Then you don’t have to worry.

Britt: But getting through anger is a process, Spencer. It is possible to come out the other side if you keep moving forward.

Spencer: Do you speak from experience?

Britt: Yeah. I mean, I’m not always successful at letting go of my anger, but I understand it’s necessary and it’s a goal I’m working toward.

Spencer: And you think that I should do the same?

Britt: I think…if you don’t rebuild the relationship with your father, it will hurt him, no question. But it will also hurt you.

Spencer: I’m here, aren’t I? Supporting Father in his time of need.

Britt: Are you referring to the divorce from Ava? Because Nikolas has definitely been on edge, making wild accusations. Did he tell you about the stalker?

Nikolas: This has been going on for a month now. The threats are escalating. Ava’s gallery was trashed. The stalker was able to leave a toy in Avery’s room. It is unacceptable that there’s been —

Stella: Shawn Butler?

Jordan: Stella, whatever you have to say, just —

Shawn: I’m okay, Jordan. Yes, ma’am, I’m Shawn Butler. And you’re Ms. Henry, Thomas’ aunt. I can’t tell you how sorry —

Stella: I’m not interested in your contrition. But I do have a few things to say to the man who killed my nephew.

Brando: Put it on my tab. It’s the least I can do after you helped rescue my mom and me from Renault.

Spinelli: Well, it was a — thanks — it was my honor. [ Exhales sharply ] Gratified that someone appreciated my efforts.

Brando: You were taken hostage. I mean, Renault was gonna trade you for my mother. I’m thankful that we got out okay.

Spinelli: Sorry. Physical safety is cause for relief. But, unfortunately, my — my heart became collateral damage. See, my partner, Ellie, became increasingly alarmed by my association with the Corinthos organization and the ensuing threat of — of danger and violence. And she wanted me to get out. And when I balked, she walked.

Brando: She left you?

Spinelli: Ellie realized that if she wanted to make a change, to build a new life, maybe have a future with someone else, that she had to start now. So she did. [ Chuckles ] She’s gone.

Brando: Sorry. That’s rough. Were you together long?

Spinelli: Nine years. We were — we were — we were raising my daughter together, mostly in Oregon. We were a happy family unit. But when we relocated to Queens Point, I became more involved with my friends and their business. And, at one point, Ellie said, “can you be a friend and not participate in the ancillary activities?” But it’s just not possible. With my area of expertise, my area of expertise is so invaluable to my friends, but not only that, I… I savor the challenge. I like doing what I do and knowing that I’m good at it. Alas, it has cost me a relationship that I greatly treasured.

Michael: Did something happen between you and Brando?

Sasha: Brando is a great guy. I like him on almost every level.

Michael: Almost.

Sasha: I think we want different things for our lives.

Michael: Okay. I’m not sure I follow exactly, but sometimes guys take a beat to process and fully embrace what parenthood might mean for their lives, so that might be it.

Sasha: That is not it. Brando definitely wants to be involved. I’m the one who’s not sure how that’s gonna look.

Michael: Noted. Alright. I’m gonna take my two cents and just be on my way, then.

Sasha: No, you don’t have to leave. All I’m saying is that I am ready to do it alone if I have to. Be a single mom.

Michael: At the — at the risk of wading back into deep water — here, have a seat. Look, being a parent isn’t always a picnic, let alone being a single parent. And I have all the confidence that you’ll manage. But I just — I want you to go into it with your eyes wide open. Okay? Also, I’m available for any, you know, new-parent freakouts you may have. I’m pretty sure I invented some of them, so I’m at your service.

Sasha: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Also, just so you know, I — I still consider you a good friend.

Sasha: Thanks, Michael. Same goes for me. I am just as invested in your happiness as you are in mine. That includes talking about someone you can’t talk to anyone else about. Willow. If you ever need a sympathetic shoulder with no judgment, I’m here for you.

Chase: I want something more effective than hydration and stretches.

Willow: Hey, the fact that you’re here and working toward recovery at all, it’s a blessing, right? It’s just going to take some time.

Chase: This isn’t what you signed up for.

Willow: I seem to remember a clause about sickness and in health.

Chase: Well, I don’t think that vow can apply when I can’t be your husband. Not really.

Willow: That is not true.

Chase: Willow, you know what I mean. We can’t even share the same bed. I don’t want to wake you up when my legs are cramping. I know you need your rest because you’ve got school and you’ve got Wiley.

Willow: And I’ve got you. Listen to me. I don’t care about sleeping in separate beds.

Chase: But I do. This — this is not who I am. Okay? I am sick of our relationship revolving around my health. I just — I want to be your husband, not your patient. God, I want your love, not your pity.

Willow: I do love you, Chase.

Chase: Then let me do what I have to do.

Willow: Chase, I understand your frustration.

Chase: How can you? All I want is to live a normal life with the person that I love, and that seems impossible right now. [ Scoffs ] I’m — I’m sorry, Willow. I shouldn’t be railing at you. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. I don’t want to take my frustrations out on my wife.

physical therapist: Ready for some stretching?

Chase: Yeah. Hey, I’ll call you when I’m done, okay?

Portia: So they decided to get a divorce, and I don’t even know if it’s gone through or anything, I have no idea, but it’s just too soon to be getting involved with anyone.

Terry: Says who?

Portia: Everyone. Conventional wisdom, common sense.

Terry: Oh, and you want to live your life by conventional rules?

Portia: Terry, nobody wants to be on the other end of a rebound relationship.

Terry: Right. Better to nip it in the bud, especially when there’s chemistry.

Portia: I mean, when things were good between us, they were really good. And, yes, that old chemistry is still there.

Terry: Sounds dreadful.

[ Both chuckle ]

Portia: Okay, okay, fine. Yes, yes. I’m still attracted to the man, yes. If anything, even more so. I mean, Curtis back in the day, I mean, it was clear that he was just piecing his life back together. But Curtis now, I mean, he’s grounded and stable.

Terry: And still sexy.

Portia: I certainly think so.

Terry: Yeah.

Portia: And he’s definitely interested.

Terry: Uh-huh.

Portia: And he told me where I could find him tonight.

Terry: So, what happens if you don’t go?

Portia: I don’t know. My fear is that I will lose him in my life as a friend.

Terry: You make it sound like you’re gonna lose him no matter what. Stop me if I’m being intrusive, but I think you want a chance with the man, so what’s holding you back?

Shawn: Would you like to talk privately, Ms. Henry?

Stella: I suppose that would be best.

Shawn: I’ll be back.

Nikolas: That is tense.

Jordan: And none of your business.

Nikolas: The investigation into my stalker is definitely my business. Did the bootprint that your team found at the scene lead to anything?

Jordan: Yes, we’re making progress.

Nikolas: Can you be more specific? I need details.

Jordan: Why? So you can set another trap? Take matters into your own hands? I’m afraid not. That’s all you’re getting.

Nikolas: But I have a right to know.

Jordan: You do not have a right to interfere with an ongoing police investigation. Stay out of it, Nikolas. Leave it to the police. End of discussion.

Spencer: I’ve heard all about Ava’s trials and tribulations. I just wish I could have been there to see her face when she saw that roach.

Britt: You should have seen my face when Nikolas accused me of being the stalker.

Spencer: You have to admit, though, some of the stunts are clever enough to be yours.

Britt: They’re not stunts, Spencer. They’re malicious acts designed to cause fear. And they worked. Ava is terrified.

Spencer: Well, it’s over. Now that Father and Ava are divorcing, the gifts have stopped, right?

Britt: Again, not really gifts.

Spencer: You know what I mean.

Britt: [ Laughs ]

Spencer: You’ve always understood me.

Britt: Likewise. Oh! It’s so good to see you. Can you hang for a bit?

Spencer: Yeah, for a bit. I’ve been here practically all day.

Britt: Okay. Well, I’m gonna get a drink. Do you want one?

Spencer: Gin and tonic.

Britt: Ha! One iced tea, coming up.

Spencer: In Europe, the drinking age is 18.

Britt: This ain’t Europe.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Spencer: Father?

Nikolas: I’m heading home. I’ll give you a ride if you want. Still at the pool?

Spencer: Yes. I just need to change. Why don’t you come have a drink at the pool while you wait for me?

Sasha: Chase, I heard you were here. How’s it going?

Chase: It’s going.

Sasha: You know, physical therapy takes time.

Chase: That’s what they tell me.

Sasha: I would say my experience is with a different type of rehab, but if you ever want to talk…

Chase: Thanks, but I’m all talked out. If anything, I wish Willow would talk more.

Sasha: About what?

Chase: What’s going on with her. I wish she would say more than the obligatory “keep it up” and “don’t lose hope.”

Sasha: I’m sure she means every word.

Chase: Yeah, but I feel like there’s something that she’s not telling me. Has Willow said anything to you?

Michael: Willow. Hey. What’s wrong?

Willow: [ Sighs ] It’s nothing.

Michael: It’s definitely not nothing.

Willow: [ Sighs ] Chase is in physical therapy. He’s working hard, but he’s frustrated with his progress and… he’s lashing out.

Michael: At you?

Stella: Thomas was my nephew. I lived with my sister the whole time he and Curtis were growing up. I helped raise him. We were very close.

Shawn: He always spoke very highly of you.

Stella: I don’t need you to tell me about Thomas. I knew him down to the soles of his feet.

Shawn: With all due respect, ma’am, what do you need from me? You want to unload on me? Fine. I’ll stand right here and take your verbal lashing. I owe you that at least. I know what I took from you.

Stella: [ Scoffs ] Please. You can’t possibly understand what you took from me. What my family lost. Thomas was a good man and a good father. He should have lived to see his son grow up and become a doctor. What? You gonna tell me you’re TJ’s father now? Because a father is more than DNA.

Shawn: Look, you’ll get no argument from me. TJ accepts that, and so do I. Thomas was TJ’s father, but so am I.

Britt: So, besides the legal drinking age… [ Laughs ] Did you miss France? Did you leave someone special behind?

Spencer: France will always be there. What about you? Have you found someone who even slightly deserves you?

Britt: [ Chuckles ] You know, not many people would consider me a catch.

Spencer: Au contraire. If you haven’t found someone worthy of you, then you’re not looking in the right places. Father! Hey. Look who’s here.

Nikolas: Hello, Britt.

Britt: Nikolas.

Portia: I was married when I first met Curtis, and I didn’t tell him. Marcus and I were on the outs, and I had no business starting anything with anyone. [ Sighs ] And when I finally did tell Curtis, he just walked away. I’m sure he was just hurt and felt betrayed.

Terry: So what are you saying? You really think Curtis is out for revenge?

Portia: No. God, no, of course not. No, I’m just, um… I don’t know. I guess I’m just a little scared. You know, what if I open myself up to him and then he has a change of heart and he walks away again, you know? [ Clears throat ] I haven’t really let myself be vulnerable since.

Terry: Since Curtis.

Portia: I mean, I’ve dated and stuff, but… you know. [ Stammers ] I just had other priorities, you know? I got to make sure that Trina’s okay and my career. Right?

Terry: Fair enough. Fair enough. That was then and this is now. Trina’s on her way to college, and your career is well-established. Sounds like it’s been a long time since you’ve let yourself be happy with a man. And things with Curtis sound promising. But what do I know? I’m just an oncologist, not a psychologist.

[ Both chuckle ]

Terry: Tell you what. I’m going. I’ll meet you at The Savoy in a few or at the Metro Court for dinner later. Your choice.

Curtis: Alright, you having a good evening? My bartender, N’neka, taking care of you?

Brando: Yes, she is. Everything’s great. House beer — first rate.

Curtis: Glad to hear it.

Brando: Can I ask you something?

Curtis: Uh, yeah, sure.

Brando: Have you ever had a woman give you an ultimatum? Said, “do this or you can’t be in my life”?

Curtis: Okay, it sounds like your lady, and she must have a good reason.

Brando: Eh… Sasha thinks that… she doesn’t like certain aspects of my life. She thinks they’re dangerous.

Curtis: Sasha. Oh, okay. Well, it sounds like she’s concerned that something might happen to you. Does she do this all the time? You know, ultimatums, giving orders?

Brando: No, no, no. She’s great. I mean, we respect each other.

Curtis: So are you sure it was an ultimatum or was she just being honest with you about what she can and cannot live with?

Brando: Yeah. Yeah, okay. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

Curtis: And to answer your first question, I don’t recall a woman ever doing that to me, but I’m sure I’ve done it. Sometimes you’ve got to say what you want, even if it means you might lose what you have.

Sasha: Willow is a pretty honest person. What do you think she’s holding back?

Chase: When Willow and I got married, we thought I only had a few hours to live. And now she’s stuck with an invalid husband.

Sasha: You’re recovering, Chase. And I say this with love, but you are an idiot if you think that Willow is anything but profoundly grateful that you survived.

Chase: Yes, Willow is grateful and so am I. I know I’m lucky to be alive, but… I know Willow. And there’s something behind her eyes, something she’s holding back.

Michael: Chase is going through hell right now, but that does not give him the right to take his pain out on you.

Willow: No, Chase is mostly taking his anger and frustration out on himself. I just feel so inadequate. All I can seem to offer are platitudes. “Be patient. You’ll get there.”

Michael: Willow, Chase is strong. He will come back from this. And you’re gonna be a big reason why he will.

Willow: I pray you’re right. I’m being selfish. Chase is the one struggling to get his life back, and I’m sitting here feeling sorry for myself.

Michael: Hey. You have to stop beating yourself up. You are doing an incredible job supporting Chase.

Willow: No chance you’re biased? No, not at all. And I’m the one who truly knows what this is costing you.

Stella: You compare yourself to the man who was there for TJ until he died?

Shawn: No, you are. I know Thomas loved TJ, but I love him, too. I couldn’t be his father because up until recently, I didn’t know I was his father.

Stella: And until recently, you were behind bars. Where you should have been a lot sooner for killing my nephew.

Shawn: Thomas was my best friend.

Stella: [ Scoffs ]

Shawn: But he snapped. He threatened to kill me. I shot on self-defense. I’ll carry the pain and weight of that for the rest of my life.

Stella: Oh, sure, sure. He was your best friend. But that didn’t stop you from sleeping with his wife. He snapped because of your betrayal.

Jordan: It wasn’t all on Shawn, Stella. We both know that.

Stella: [ Sighs ] Jordan, you and I have made our peace, but don’t expect me to offer it to the man who ended my nephew’s life. He’s lucky to be out of prison. If it were up to me, he’d rot there.

Jordan: You’re not being fair, Stella.

Shawn: Just…let Ms. Henry say her piece.

Stella: I have nothing more to say to you. Just please stay out of my way.

Shawn: I’ll do my best, ma’am. Jordan, thanks for dinner. Good night.

Jordan: Are you all right?

Stella: [ Exhales deeply ]

Jordan: You look shaky.

Stella: It’s been a long time coming. But I confronted him. I did it. And I stand by everything I said.

Jordan: Did it make you feel any better?

Ava: So, what did Victor do that has you on the fence?

Trina: Basically, he lied to me.

Ava: I don’t like the sound of that.

Trina: Well, it was more of a lie of omission, which is still technically a lie, but it didn’t directly affect me. So I guess I shouldn’t care. It’s still bothersome. I don’t know. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Ava: And maybe you’re making excuses for him, giving him a little wiggle room. Sounds to me like you like this guy.

Trina: Yeah. He’s interesting. Not like a lot of the guys around here.

Ava: Oh. So are you gonna go out with him?

Trina: Oh, we’re not dating. We’re just hanging out as friends.

Ava: Oh. Oh. Friends.

Nikolas: I thought you were gonna change.

Spencer: I was, and then Britt and I got to talking. I’ll go right now. I, um… my clothes should be back from housekeeping. Please, Father, help yourself to my iced tea.

Britt: Uh, Spencer. [ Sighs ]

Nikolas: I’m sorry, Britt, for accusing you of being the stalker. I was at the end of my rope.

Britt: I was sorry to hear that you and Ava are getting a divorce.

Nikolas: It’s not over yet. I’m surprised that Spencer is trying to matchmake. He and I have been cool toward each other since he’s been home.

Britt: But he is home in your hour of need. That’s something.

Nikolas: It is. I’m so glad to have him back. I mean, at least one thing is going right in my life.

Brando: Thank you for your advice.

Curtis: Look, man, you know what, sometimes I just like to hear myself talk.

Brando: Yeah, well, you said exactly what I needed to hear. Did I tell you I’m gonna be a father?

Curtis: Ohh. [ Laughs ] Well, now I understand the ultimatum, huh?

Brando: Yeah, yeah. I’ve been an idiot. I mean, there’s no choice to be made. How can I walk away from someone as wonderful as Sasha?

Curtis: Well, congratulations. I’m really happy for you.

Brando: Thank you.

Curtis: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Keep that away, all right? This one’s on me. Consider it an early baby shower present. And good luck to you, brother.

Brando: Thank you.

Sasha: I think that you are holding Willow to a higher standard than your own.

Chase: What?

Sasha: Do you share all your doubts and moments of weakness with Willow? You might think that Willow is perfect, but she’s not. She’s human, Chase, and she’s scared and worried and just trying to figure things out as she goes.

Chase: I get it. I do. But she doesn’t have to hold it all in.

Sasha: Like you do? Loving someone doesn’t mean that you have to share every single thought with the other person, especially when you’re trying to protect the other person. And you’re both doing that.

Chase: And I’m not protecting her by snapping at her, which is exactly what I did today.

Sasha: I think that Willow understands how frustrating this is for you, and I know that she’s committed to helping you through your recovery. You don’t need to doubt her.

Michael: You’ve put your entire life on hold to literally help Chase get back on his feet. And I see you burning the candle at both ends while still managing to keep a smile on your face. I just — [ Sighs ] I don’t know, I wish there was something that I could do to help.

Willow: Michael, I know I’m — I’m putting more than my life on hold. I’m putting us on hold. Our family, our future. And that’s not fair, either. How long can I ask you to keep waiting for me?

Ava: It sounds to me like you’re willing to overlook Victor’s lie of omission.

Trina: I want to.

Ava: Well… then do it. Take a chance.

Trina: You still believe that? Even after the way things ended with you and Nikolas?

Ava: Yes. I believe in living life, you know? Not just watching from the sidelines. Get out there and enjoy yourself.

Trina: Yes, ma’am.

Ava: And be careful. And if this Victor crosses the line, he’s gonna have to answer to me.

Trina: Get in line behind my dad.

Ava: [ Laughs ] Yeah, right. And your mom. You have quite a lineup of protectors. Really, overall, Trina, trust your instincts. This Victor, he sounds — sounds like he might be a bad boy. They are exciting. But they can be trouble, too.

Spencer: Where’s Father?

Britt: He had to make a call. Not cool, Spencer.

Spencer: Huh?

Britt: “Huh?” Nikolas and I are over. He loves Ava. And I don’t have time for distractions.

Spencer: Things change. It’s only a matter of time before Father puts Ava and his farce of a marriage behind him.

Shawn: I heard you were still in the game. How about we work together?

Stella: I admit, lashing out to that man didn’t — didn’t ease the pain of losing Thomas, but I needed to do it. [ Scoffs ] You know I speak my mind.

Jordan: All too well.

Stella: Go on. Say it.

Jordan: Stella, what were you thinking? Telling Portia to back off Curtis?

Stella: I was thinking you and Curtis need more time to work out your differences and remember how much you love each other. Jordan, I gave you the opportunity to fight for your man. Why didn’t you take it?

Michael: Hey, you never have to ask. I’ll wait forever if I have to. But you’re my future, Willow. So take that worry off your plate, okay? I’m not going anywhere. As much as I want to hold you and make love to you, I’ll go on being your friend and co-parent as long as it takes.

Willow: Michael, I love you. So much my heart hurts. I want you, too. And I’m so sorry. I wish things were different.

Michael: I understand your commitment to staying with Chase. So we wait. As long as Chase needs you.

Chase: [ Grunting ] Come on. You can do this. Do it for Willow. There we go. All right.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Brando (to Sasha): Sometimes you have to make choices. I’ve made mine.

Finn (to Elizabeth): Monsters never really die. They haunt you forever.

Brook Lynn (to Valentin): And you’re sure that’s all you are? A team?

Sam (to Olivia): Dante told you about that?

Anna (to Dante): We need to keep that information confidential.

Stella (to Jordan): Do you want this marriage to be over?

Curtis (to Portia): Your timing couldn’t have been any better.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Victor? Car will be here any minute. We don’t want to be late. Making everybody wait for us. Victor! Where are you? Oh, for heaven’s sake.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Dad. What are you doing here? I thought that you and mom were supposed to be on a flight to europe.

Victor: I just wanted to say hello, you know. Plans haven’t changed. That’s the advantage of having one’s own plane.

Victoria: Oh, that’s true. Well, I’m glad to hear it. I think that it would be good for you both to get away for a while. In fact, I’m very jealous.

Victor: I would’ve invited you. Wish you’d come along, but you’re busy with the merger.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, well, thank you so much for your flowers of congratulations. I hope that the sentiment behind it was sincere.

Victor: I am full of admiration. I mean, you parlayed your connection to ashland locke into this fantastic merger.

Victoria: You know, you make it sound like it was purely a calculated move on my part. That’s not how it happened.

Victor: What, don’t you disappoint me now. Do you mean it was ashland locke’s idea?

Kyle: Ashland, what can I do for you?

Ashland: Tara, we need to talk!

Kyle: She’s dropping harrison off at a play date.

Ashland: Are you behind this?

Kyle: Behind what?

Ashland: Are you trying to steal my son from me in my last days?

Lily: Okay, katie is on the bus on her way to camp. How is johnny?

Billy: He’s alright. His stomach’s a little upset still. Sorry if I kept you up last night taking care of him.

Lily: Oh, no, it’s fine. I’ve been up many nights with sick kids. And the good thing about twins is that when one gets sick, the other one gets it a couple days later, so… poor johnny.

Billy: Yeah, he was trying to be brave, but I think he’s given up on that finally.

Lily: Oh. Well, I’m really sorry to leave you alone to deal with all of this.

Billy: No, it’s alright. I’ll hang out here. I’ll take care of him, get him a little more fluids and some crackers and toast maybe, and of course, favorite book of riddles to keep him laughing.

Lily: Aww, cute. I want to hear one.

Billy: Oh, yeah, you want to hear his favorite one?

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: “Why’d the cookie get sick?”

Lily: Why?

Billy: “Because it felt crummy.”

Lily: Ohh! Good job. Delivery was great.

Billy: Did I sell you on that?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Yeah.

Billy: Yeah, the big question is why is johnny feeling sick and is it because of all the change that’s going on around him?

Phyllis: Okay, so what’s happening? Tell me everything. Any new developments?

Summer: Mom, you were just here. Not much has changed in a couple of days.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know, but i was just, you know, wanted to talk about stuff going on with you to take your mind off of your homesickness.

Summer: Well, I mean, news from home would probably be more effective. Don’t you think?

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, everybody knows about the newman-locke merger. You want to hear about that?

Summer: Mom, I can read all the business articles I want. I want to know how everybody there is doing.

Phyllis: You mean how’s kyle doing.

Summer: Among others. You know, I want to hear about how you are and how my family is, but, I mean, if you have information about kyle…

Phyllis: Well, tara is still at the abbott house. She’s still ensconced at the house with her kid, if that’s what you want to know. I mean, it’s amazing. She’s like one of those scavenger fishes that hooks on to the side of a whale or a shark.

Summer: God. I guess I was right about that one.

Phyllis: You called it right. I mean, it’s gonna last forever, summer, honestly. The abbotts are lovely people, but they see through — and they will see her true colors very, very soon. I promise you.

Victoria: Well, somehow your congratulations just transformed into a disappointment.

Victor: Sweetheart, there’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of a situation. Get what you want when the opportunity presents itself.

Victoria: Right, like you did when ashland had a heart attack.

Victor: Let’s not let this conversation descend into an argument, okay? That’s not what I intended.

Victoria: Well, what did you intend?

Victor: I intend to come here to tell you that I admire what you’ve done, to congratulate you. That’s all.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thank you for saying that.

Victor: But don’t you get hurt.

Victoria: What do you mean?

Victor: [ Sighs ] Ashland locke is ill. We all know that, okay? A man in that situation looks for comfort and for affection and all that, you know?

Victoria: So you think that ashland giving me his company was a ploy to get closer to me and to move in here with me?

Victor: What do you mean move in here with you? Ashland locke moved into your house with your kids?

Victoria: That’s right. I assumed that mom had told you.

Victor: No, she did not. Sweetheart, I don’t want you to get hurt.

Victoria: Oh, wow. I can’t believe this. You and billy are actually on the same page. He gave me the exact same warning. I wish people would stop saying that ashland is taking advantage of me. Do you think that people maybe consider for one minute that he’s the one who tried to push me away and I chose to stay by his side?

Victor: I don’t think that’s wise.

Victoria: You can’t praise me for pulling off the coup of the century on one hand and then say that I’m weak and naive on the other hand. I’m neither of those things, dad. I know what I’m getting myself into. My relationship with ashland, it’s intense and it’s wonderful.

Victor: Intense and wonderful. I see. Don’t you think this all happened rather fast?

Victoria: I think that you and mom should go on your romantic getaway and don’t worry one minute about me. I will be here enjoying my merger, both professionally and personally.

Victor: Well… good luck with everything, okay? Don’t you get hurt. I’ll see you when I come back, alright?

Victoria: Alright.

Victor: I love you.

Victoria: Love you.

Kyle: Ashland, no one is trying to steal harrison from you.

Ashland: The petition that tara filed with the court seeking sole custody says otherwise.

Kyle: I think you need to discuss this with her.

Ashland: I want answers now, and she’s not here. So if you want to be harrison’s one and only father figure, why don’t you act like it and start talking?

Kyle: She’s worried about harrison. He was upset by what he saw in the park. There were tears afterwards, and he’s been having bad dreams ever since.

Ashland: Bad dreams? I-I… I had no idea. But that hardly — that hardly warrants tara seeking sole custody.

Kyle: She just wants to protect harrison. That’s gonna be harder and harder to do as your health deteriorates. He’s gonna see you in physical decline, and that’s gonna be upsetting for him.

Ashland: That’s not nearly as upsetting for him as it will be if I disappear from his life entirely.

Kyle: I’m sure tara doesn’t want to completely keep you away from harrison. She just wants more input about when and where you see him.

Ashland: Hmm. So in other words, tara is angling for me to beg on my hands and knees every time i want to see my child.

Kyle: No, if you could just get past your initial anger and think about what’s best for him, you could see she has a point.

Ashland: My initial anger is nothing. You just wait until I get warmed up a little and really lean into it.

Kyle: Oh, be reasonable, ashland.

Ashland: This is my illness. Now, I need to be the one to break the news to my son, and i need to spend every moment that I can with harrison. So you tell me, kyle, who’s the one who’s being unreasonable?

Phyllis: Hey, tara. Hey. Um, what are you doing here, another spa day?

Tara: Oh, I just dropped off harrison. He had a play date nearby. Thought I’d stop in for some coffee.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, great, great. I’m wrapping up a call with summer. Do you want to say hi?

Tara: Oh, that’s alright. I’ll leave you to it.

Phyllis: Okay.

Summer: Uh, what was that? You were being very sweet to her.

Phyllis: Shh, shh. I’m being civil. No need to be unkind.

Summer: Okay, you’re up to something.

Phyllis: Why would you say that? No, I’m not.

Summer: Mom, just leave it alone. Okay? What happened was meant to happen. Just promise me you’re gonna drop it.

Phyllis: Oh, baby, summer? Summer, I can’t see you anymore. I can’t hear you.

Summer: Mom, I know you can see me.

Phyllis: Babe, I can’t see you or hear you anymore. Okay? I have to go. Have a good day. Okay, honey? Crystal, can you fix this? Tara, hey. Listen, I just wanted to apologize for that thing I said yesterday.

Tara: You mean when you accused me of trying to take sole custody from a dying man?

Phyllis: That. That. I’m sorry, I’m just… [ Sighs ] I’m just so concerned for all involved.

Tara: I understand.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. And it must be so difficult for you, trying to protect your son from the pain of a dying parent. I mean, I sympathize. And I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I just feel bad, so there’s something that I need to confess to you.

Tara: What’s that?

Phyllis: I only pretended to befriend you.

Billy: Johnny gets like that. He knows that there’s change and upheaval going on around him, and he kind of takes it on. He’s a sensitive kid.

Lily: So you think ashland moving in is causing his symptoms?

Billy: I mean, I do, yeah. That, and being asked to bring more of his stuff here because this will be home base for a while. I think that he knows there’s a lot going on and, I don’t know, more than he’s being told.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, kids are pretty intuitive. But all we can do is just make johnny as comfortable as possible and make this a safe haven for your kids.

Billy: Thank you.

Lily: For what?

Billy: For you. For everything you do. [ Doorbell rings ] You expecting someone?

Lily: Mm, no.

Billy: Hey.

Victoria: Um, I got your text about johnny. I just wanted to stop by and check on him.

Billy: Yeah, please, come in. Sorry, I didn’t want to alarm you. I just wanted to let you know that he wasn’t feeling well.

Lily: Hey. Well, I have a meeting to get to, so I will see you later. Good to see you.

Billy: Okay.

Victoria: Likewise.

Lily: Bye.

Billy: Bye. I’ll see you in a bit. So I think johnny feeling upset has to do with —

Victoria: All the changes in his life. Yes, I know. I know. I heard your theory before.

Billy: Right, well, I don’t want to dismiss it. I think it’s proving itself to be true right about now.

Victoria: I agree with you to a certain extent, and I’m going to — to work hard to reassure him that he’s loved and that these changes are not for the worst, despite the fact that everyone thinks that I’m making such a terrible mistake.

Billy: Look, I meant what i said yesterday. I saw a different side of locke and your situation, and I was wrong to question your — your generous decision and wrong to question your ability to handle yourself.

Victoria: Thank you for that. Now I just have to try to get my dad on board.

Billy: Ooh, good luck with that.

Victoria: Yeah, I know. It’s gonna be rocky for a while.

Billy: Yeah. Well, I’m here for you. If you need anything — extra help with the kids or whatever — don’t hesitate to ask.

Victoria: Thank you. It’s sometimes a little tougher than I let on.

Billy: Can I ask you a question? If locke wasn’t dying, would you see a long-term future with him?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Are you asking if this was a fling that turned into something more serious because of the circumstances?

Billy: I’m just wondering. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want. And I’m not judging. I guess I’m just curious.

Tara: You were only pretending to be my friend? I don’t understand.

Phyllis: Yeah, just listen. When I saw you getting closer and closer to the abbotts, it set off alarm bells for me. I’m so protective of jack. And of kyle. And I just didn’t want them to be manipulated or taken advantage of.

Tara: That’s not what I’m doing.

Phyllis: I know. You see, when you said that — that thing to me yesterday, that we’re not that different — remember when you said that? — It just triggered me, and i realized that I was projecting all of my past history onto you. [ Sighs ] I did some pretty bad things in my past, things I’m not proud of, and I used to say, “oh, I’m just protecting someone” or “it’s a defense mechanism.” All of that was a lie. It was a lie. I was just selfish.

Tara: And you thought that’s what I was doing with kyle and jack?

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah. But I realize now I’m wrong. Anyway, I’m sorry. I apologize, and if you never want to talk to me again, i totally understand.

Tara: I appreciate you coming clean.

Phyllis: Okay. [ Chuckles ] Thank you. It feels good to come clean. Anyway, alright, I’ll get you some coffee. Alright, and, um…thank you for listening to me. I really appreciate it. You know, as a show of gratitude, I’m gonna give you this helpful tip. Avoid sally spectra like the plague.

Kyle: What are you doing here?

Sally: I was just looking for jack. I know he’s been working from home a lot to be close to harrison.

Kyle: Well, he’s not here now, but before you go, I want to make it clear how I hate the way you dive-bombed back into my father’s life.

Sally: Oh, that’s a funny way to put it.

Kyle: Ah, there’s nothing funny about you taking advantage of his loneliness and forgiving nature.

Sally: I didn’t take advantage of anything, kyle.

Kyle: I don’t buy that. And I plan to remind him just how opportunistic you are every chance I get.

Sally: Well, there is nothing that you can tell jack that he doesn’t already know. I think that you might be projecting your own loneliness on your father, since summer left you — again.

Kyle: Okay, don’t push me. I’m already making inquiries into precisely how this amazing job on another continent landed into summer’s lap.

Sally: You don’t have faith in your ex’s abilities?

Kyle: Oh, of course I have faith. I know she was hired because she deserved it, but then you ended up with summer’s old job at jcv — the very position you’ve coveted since you came to genoa city.

Sally: And I’m crushing it.

Kyle: Mm, but the suspicious part is just before summer got her big job offer, you flew to la.

Sally: What’s so suspicious about that?

Kyle: Well, you flew to la, land of the fashion royalty forresters, the very land you fled and hated. So, sally, what was that trip about?

Sally: I went to la to visit some old friends. I know it might seem impossible to you that I still have friends there, but I do.

Kyle: No, not impossible. Just unlikely.

Sally: I also had a couple of meetings to make some connections for fenmore’s and jcv. So, mystery solved.

Kyle: Hmm, maybe.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I know you’re not gonna listen to me, but you should stop blaming summer leaving on anyone else but the two of you. And your connection to tara locke and your son.

Moses: Hey, lily.

Lily: Moses! Hey!

Moses: Actually, I’m — I’m glad I ran into you. I-I need your advice.

Lily: Okay. Sounds serious. What’s is about, school or your internship?

Moses: Actually, girls. One girl in particular — faith newman.

Nikki: What’s wrong?

Victor: Nothing.

Nikki: But that look on your face. Oh, darling, please tell me you’re not gonna try to postpone our trip again.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Where were you?

Victor: Why the hell didn’t you tell me that ashland locke had moved in with our daughter?

Nikki: My god, he did already? I didn’t think it was gonna be so soon. I actually wasn’t sure if it was gonna happen at all, because i assumed that billy would object to it all on —

Victor: What the hell is useless billy boy abbott gonna do to prevent victoria from inviting ashland locke to live with her?

Nikki: Actually, I wasn’t hoping that billy would put a stop to it.

Victor: What in the world are you talking about?

Nikki: I’ve come around to victoria’s way of thinking on this.

Victor: Oh, for heaven’s sake. You’re in agreement with this domestic arrangement?

Nikki: Yes, I am.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Victoria: Okay, well, he’s finished his crackers. That’s a good sign.

Billy: It is a good sign. I’m sure seeing mom made him feel better, as well. And it gave you a perfect excuse to dodge my question.

Victoria: I was hoping that maybe you would let it go. [ Sighs ] But I can answer that question. [ Sighs ] What I have with ashland, it — it started off casually, but then my feelings just kept getting stronger and stronger for him. I mean, honestly, I’m as surprised as anyone about it. Yeah, you know, it’s different from any other relationship that I’ve ever had. There’s — there’s a lot of depth to it. Not to take away from what you and I had, of course.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I get it. Ashland and I are nothing alike. It makes me sad to think that you, uh — you don’t have much time together… because I can tell — I don’t know — I can hear it in your voice that, uh, you’re serious about him.

Victoria: You know, maybe you are onto something with your question about what our relationship would be like if he was healthy. It might be more serious than it would have been otherwise, but we just don’t have that much time together. And…the urgency has made it pretty powerful.

Billy: If you’re happy… I’m happy.

Victoria: That means a lot to me.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Look at us. We’re all grown up.

Victoria: Yeah. [ Chuckling ] Oh.

Tara: What do have against sally?

Phyllis: Uh, [Chuckles] Well, it’s not what I have against sally. I mean, everybody in town knows she can’t be trusted. Honestly, I misjudged you and your intentions completely. But with sally, I mean, everyone knows it’s all about sally, and everybody else be damned. Um, I even think she had something to do with my daughter’s sudden departure to italy.

Tara: You don’t say.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Ever since she came into town, she was competitive and antagonistic toward summer.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tara: I had no idea.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Well, do with that advice what you will. [ Chuckles ] I’ll get your coffee.

Sally: What was that about?

Tara: Nothing to worry about.

Sally: Well, you might want to start worrying about kyle, then.

Tara: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, he seems to think I had something to do with summer running off to italy.

Tara: Well, you did.

Sally: But I didn’t pull it off alone. So you might want to talk to your new man and tell him to back off, because we’re in this together. So, if one of us goes down, the other follows. Sweet pillows of softness!

“The young and the restless” will continue.

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: [ Breathing heavily ] You okay? You look rattled.

Tara: Yeah. I’m fine. You don’t look like you’re in the best mood yourself.

Kyle: Ashland stopped by. Well, he never really stopped. He stormed in, furious that you filed for sole custody, made threats and accusations, then stormed out.

Tara: [ Sighing ] Oh. I’m sorry. I’ll deal with him.

Kyle: Yeah, what matters now is taking care of harrison. Ashland’s illness is public knowledge, and there’s a lot of speculation in the media that he’s dying. It’s inevitable that our son finds out.

Tara: We’ve done a good job protecting him. I even warned the parents at the playdate not to turn on the tv.

Kyle: Hmm.

Tara: And I do think the time has come for us to tell him ashland’s sick. But we need to do it the right way.

Kyle: I’m not even sure i know how to begin that conversation with him.

Tara: Well, we’ve done all the research for proceeding with a child his age, and I assume you’ve read those books that you bought on childhood grief.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Tara: We can do this.

Kyle: Yeah. When ashland was here, he again said that he wants to be the one to tell him. I can see his side of this.

Tara: That’s something to consider. Why don’t we go have a nice lunch and we can figure it out?

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Moses: Faith and I are friends — good friends — but i want to be more than that. Does that make sense?

Lily: Yeah, of course. I mean, faith is great. You know. And I know she’s been through a lot, but it seems like she’s kinda bounced back, right?

Moses: Yeah, and that’s one of the things I like about her. She’s so open about everything she’s been through. She’s nice, she’s smart, she laughs at my jokes. She really, really gets me.

Lily: That’s great. So, what’s the issue?

Moses: We talked about how we feel without really saying how we feel. Does that make sense?

Lily: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

Moses: Yeah, so, faith wants to go slow, which I respect that. But I don’t want to go so, so slow that I get stuck in the friend zone permanently.

Lily: Right. So, you want her to know that you’re not going anywhere but that you’re available and interested?

Moses: Right, while respecting her boundaries. How do I do that?

Lily: Well, I think you’re already doing that. You know, you’re respecting faith’s wishes. And to be honest, I mean, going slow isn’t the worst thing.

Moses: Yeah, but it’s not the best, either.

Lily: Well, I think, when a guy takes his time to get to know a woman, it’s very attractive and flattering.

Moses: Really?

Lily: Yeah, of course. And it shows that he’s interested, you know? And there’s things that you can do to show that you care about her without overstepping. You know, you could do little gestures or surprises. I mean, girls love that.

Moses: Okay, cool. You know what? That actually gives me an idea.

Lily: Oh, okay. Well, good luck. Keep me posted.

Moses: Yeah, thanks. I will.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Alright, see you later.

Moses: Bye, lily.

[ Cellphone dialing ]

Moses:Devon, it’s moses. Uh, give me a call when you can. I need your help.

Victoria: Hi. Did you get everything done that you needed to do?

Ashland: No, not even close. I’ve been looking for tara. [ Sighs ] She seems to be avoiding me.

Victoria: After what she pulled, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Ashland: I absolutely have to be the one to tell harrison about my illness. And now it seems like I might not be able to do that.

Victoria: What’s really upsetting is that tara agreed to joint custody, and now she’s filing this ridiculous petition. It’s — it’s disgusting. No judge is gonna take a dying man’s son away from him.

Ashland: Well, I wish it were that simple.

Victoria: Look, I know that kyle is the biological father, but you’ve been harrison’s dad all his life. And the court will take that into account.

Ashland: I spoke to my attorneys. And they think [Sighs] Tara’s argument that my condition and impending demise might be too… disturbing for harrison could be problematic if presented to a judge, especially given that video from the park.

Victoria: That’s not fair. That video footage was taken out of context. She cannot take your son away from you, and I will help you fight her. [ Inhales deeply ] But, you know, [Sighs] It might help your cause if you — if you accept the treatment.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] The situation is becoming unbearable!

[ Table vibrates ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]

Victor: I honestly can’t believe that you are in favor of ashland locke moving in with our daughter. What about katie and johnny?

Nikki: Well, of course I’m concerned about them, but I’m sure that billy and victoria will work together to make the change as easy as possible for them.

Victor: Billy boy abbott can’t even take care of himself, much less do what’s best for our grandchildren.

Nikki: Well, what do you propose we do about it? You think that we can change victoria’s mind about a man? How has that worked all these years?

Victor: [ Sighs ] Let’s get this straight, okay? I’m not against victoria having an affair with this ashland locke. But to move into her house with our grandchildren? You know how confusing that is for them? Besides that, you and I know that he is ill. How long will he be around? Meanwhile, she falls in love with him, and then what? She’ll have her heart broken.

Nikki: I understand. But she is going into this with both eyes open. Think of it this way. By opening her heart and her home to him, she’s doing something even bigger than her historic business deal. She is selflessly helping a man say goodbye.

Victor: Oh, come on. [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Just ignore them.

Ashland: I can’t pretend they’re not there.

Victoria: Don’t do anything that you’ll regret later.

Ashland: I won’t regret this. You’ve been hiding from me.

Tara: I’m right in front of you, ashland. I’m not hiding.

Ashland: This custody maneuver is your cruelest, dirtiest move yet.

Tara: I’m trying to protect harrison.

Ashland: Protect him? F-from me?

Tara: You didn’t see the terror in his eyes after the incident at the park. And if you don’t think your condition is going to get worse, you’re either in deep denial or you’re a fool.

Victoria: Okay, hold on a second. Ashland is nobody’s fool. You know that.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Clearly, you’re not very bright if you think you can rip the boy away from his father.

Kyle: Victoria, don’t forget I’m harrison’s biological father.

Victoria: Yes, kyle, thank you, I know that.

Kyle: And tara is just trying to protect her son.

Ashland: You don’t know a damn thing about what she’s doing! You don’t know! I’m his father!

Victoria: Ashland, hold it. Take it easy. Just breathe. Just breathe.

Tara: Listen to victoria.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: Okay, I-I’m fine. I’m fine.

Tara: You’re proving my point. You’re not well. Do you want to scar harrison for life as he watches you fight to breathe?

Ashland: [ Breathing heavily ] I’m fine. Now, listen, this is not over. Not by a long shot.

Victoria: Come on.

Ashland: I will not let you steal my son.

Victoria: We should go.

Ashland: [ Breathing heavily ]

Tara: He truly despises me. I’m scared about what he’s gonna do next.

Kyle: Ashland was just lashing out. He’ll calm down and let the courts handle the custody issue.

Tara: What if he comes after me.

Kyle: We will battle him together.

Tara: [ Sighs ] Thank you, kyle. I’m so grateful that you’re in my life.

Kyle: I’ll do anything I can to keep our son safe. That includes protecting you.

Tara: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Billy: I didn’t expect you back.

Lily: Yeah, I, uh, got some chicken soup for you guys. I got a spicy one for you and a plain one for johnny.

Billy: That sounds good. Appreciate that. Thank you.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: I know you’ve had a busy morning.

Lily: I did, yeah. I, uh, had my meeting, put out a couple fires at work, grabbed lunch, and I helped moses with his love life.

Billy: Wow. You really can do it all.

Lily: Yeah, you know. Just want to do a little small gesture to show you and johnny how much I care about you guys. How’s he feeling?

Billy: He’s better. I think he’s sleeping right now. The visit from victoria put his mind to rest, I think.

Lily: Nothing beats a little tlc from mom.

Billy: It was good. We were able to, uh, you know, clear up some things between the two of us in a positive way.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Yeah. Believe it or not, I think she’s actually met her match with ashland locke. It’s sad because inevitably they won’t get their happy ending, but I know that she will — she’ll treasure whatever time they have left.

Lily: Yeah, my heart really goes out to her.

Billy: It makes me realize how fortunate I am.

Lily: Why?

Billy: Because I got my soul mate sitting right there.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: I have the tickets to the concert. Summer and noah’s gifts are in this big bag. We are all set. Aw, we should have left an hour ago.

Victor: Oh, shouldn’t worry about that, okay? That’s why I have my own plane. We can leave any damn time we want to.

Nikki: Are you still upset about victoria?

Victor: Yeah, I am. Okay? I just don’t like the fact that ashland locke is moving in with her.

Nikki: We have to trust her. Let her live her life. You told her today how proud you are of her. So be proud of the strength we have instilled in her.

Victor: [ Inhales deeply ] [ Sighs ] Alright. You convinced me. Okay, my baby. We will take our airplane and we will fly across the atlantic ocean and we will visit summer and noah, and we will find out what we have instilled in the next newman generation.

Ashland: I let tara and her lawyers get under my skin. [ Inhales deeply ] I’ve been feeling a little emotional these days. [ Sighs ]

Victoria: You don’t have to apologize.

Ashland: You know, all of my life, I’ve dealt with stress, and I think I handled it well. But facing all these [Sighs] Challenges all at once is starting to get to me.

Victoria: It’s okay, ashland.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: You’re not 100%, and we all know that right now. [ Sighs ] You know, any lesser man wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed in the morning.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] You always know what to say to me. Thank you. [ Inhales deeply ] I am so [Sighs] Happy that we found each other and that you’re standing by my side through all of this.

Victoria: I feel the same way.

Tara: I can’t believe how easily you calm my frayed nerves. It reminds me of our time in new york. Things were easier then. I know it sounds strange. We were sneaking around and worried about getting caught, but it was easy, compared to all this.

Kyle: I remember it being careless and shady. We weren’t thinking about other people at all, just our next stolen moment together.

Tara: True. But it was more than that.

Kyle: Getting caught all these years later created this huge mess we’re in.

Tara: Maybe we should have run away back then like we always talked about…

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Tara: …Leaving ashland and new york, genoa city behind us.

Kyle: Yeah. I wonder where we’d be if we had taken the plunge back then.

Tara: Paris, no question.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Tara: We’d be living on the avenue montaigne with harrison. I’d have grown my business. You’d be managing it.

Kyle: Oh.

Tara: Harrison would be bilingual. I mean, how cute would that be.

Kyle: [ Laughs ] “Oui, maman. Bonjour, papa.”

Kyle: [ Laughs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Phyllis: Hey. Look at you two laughing and carrying on. This is super. Don’t let me interrupt.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eli: You’re still here? I thought you’re going to breakfast with your dad.

Lani: Yeah, I’m late. And can you put some clothes on before chanel wakes up?

Eli: She done already seen it before.

Lani: And never again, all right?

Chanel: Not to worry, lani. This time, I took precautions.

Lani: [Laughs]

Paulina: Julie, I hope this isn’t too early.

Julie: [Exhales sharply]

Paulina: Guess I’d better get used to that. [Sighs]

Theo: So, have you figured out how to stop paulina from tearing down the square?

Abe: Well, our lawyers are filing another plea today, but not very optimistic about our chances.

Theo: Dad, if it would help for you to be there, that’s totally fine with me.

Abe: No, no.

Theo: I know how important this is to you, to everyone.

Abe: Theo, if you’re getting married today, that’s where I will be.

Theo: What do you mean, if?

Abe: I think you should call the wedding off.

Julie: Do you, ciara alice brady, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Ciara: [Sobs] I do. [Sniffles]

Julie: And do you, benjamin oliver weston, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Ben: I do.

Julie: Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Ciara: [Laughs softly]

Julie: You may kiss your bride.

[Delicate music]

Ben: [Sighs]

[Knocking on door]

Ben: Ciara? Oh, I…

Allie: You were expecting somebody else?

Ben: [Sighs]

Claire: What are you doing here?

Ciara: [Laughs] What does it look like I’m doing, claire? I’m getting ready for my wedding.

Claire: In this house? I don’t think so.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Theo: You think I should call off the wedding?

Abe: You know, it really feels like you and ciara have only been together for a couple months.

Theo: But I’ve known her my whole life.

Abe: Well, I still think you should give it a little more time. What if ciara starts to remember being married to ben? Being happy with ben. I don’t want the woman you love pulling the rug out from under you.

Theo: Let me ask you something. Is this about me and ciara, or is this about you and paulina?

[Knocking on door]

Julie: When I slammed the door in your face, it was my way of saying, “go away!”

Paulina: Please, julie, I really think we need to talk.

Julie: I’m not interested in talking to a money grubbing, power-hungry person who is going to bulldoze the square dedicated to my grandparents.

Paulina: Please–

Julie: Oh, do you have your eye on some more prime real estate? Looking over our home? Wanna turn it into a waffle house?

Paulina: I didn’t come to fight.

Julie: Well, all you’re going to get is conflict from me.

Paulina: I came to apologize.

Allie: I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Ciara and theo are getting married today.

Ben: Yeah, claire already told me.

Allie: Right. Well, there’s something else that I want you to know. Ciara asked me to be her maid of honor, and I said yes.

Ben: Great. Great, that is great. I’m sure you’re really busy, and you probably got a lot to do. So why are you here?

Allie: Ben, I know that you’re hurt, okay? And I don’t even think that this wedding that’s going on– I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Ben: But you’re still about to be her maid of honor.

Allie: Yes, I am. Because I love ciara, okay, and I know how hurt she’d be if I refused. Ben, look what she’s been through this year. She’s gonna marry theo whether or not I’m her maid of honor. I just don’t feel like I can turn my back on her.

Ben: I have no beef with you, allie. I get it.

Allie: I tried. I tried to get her to wait, but she wouldn’t listen. And getting married on your anniversary– I have no idea why she feels like she has to do that.

Ben: No, I do. She’s trying to prove to herself and everybody else that she hates me.

Ciara: I don’t need your permission, claire, to do anything. Besides, my brother already told me that I can get ready here.

Claire: Well, if you think I’m gonna help you, you’re nuts.

Claire: Did I ask you to help me? The last thing I want right now is your help. Besides, allie is my maid of honor, so if you could kindly get the hell out of here, that would be great.

Claire: You know, I cannot believe you are actually going ahead with this farce!

Ciara: Farce? [Scoffs] How dare you call my marrying theo a farce? I love him, claire.

Claire: Not the way you love ben.

Ciara: I want you to leave. I want you to get outta here.

Claire: You know what? You are gonna end up hurting ben and theo!

Claire: You don’t know that, claire, you don’t know anything, obviously.

Claire: I know that you are making a terrible mistake, and that this is gonna be a huge disaster! That is why I am trying to talk you out of this!

Ciara: Okay, well, all you’re doing is making me mad as hell.

Claire: [Sighs softly] Ciara, please. If you would just stop for a second and listen to the people who care about you, you would see that–

Ciara: Oh, like who? The people who care about me? Like the girl who tried to set me on fire, twice? Wow. [Laughs] I actually got you to shut up for once.

Claire: You cannot talk to me like that in my own house. You need to leave. Get out.

Ciara: Claire, what are you doing? Stop, let go of me, or else!

Claire: Or else, what?

Ciara: This.

Claire: [Grunts]

Ciara: [Panting] I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Lani: Eli, why don’t you go get dressed so chanel doesn’t have to walk around blind?

Eli: Right, all right. Enjoy your breakfast. I’ll see you at the church.

Lani: Okay. You can take the mask off now.

Chanel: Sorry to be such a pain. It’s really nice of you to let me stay.

Lani: Yeah, well, considering everything that happened with your mom, we couldn’t just kick you to the curb.

Chanel: I’m so done with her. You know what she told me the other night? That I could open my bakery inside price town. Like that was supposed to make everything right.

Lani: And I assume you turned her down, right?

Chanel: Yeah, you bet. If she wants to make things right between us, she’s gonna have to do much better than that.

Paulina: Oh, what a lovely home. Oh, and just look at this picture of you and doug. [Chuckles] It’s no wonder you two have made it through the years. You can just tell the two of you are head over heels.

Julie: So far your apology sounds like that folksy down home load of horse pucky you’ve been spreading all over salem.

Paulina: Sorry, it’s just gotten to be second nature.

Julie: Can we cut to the chase? I do have a lot to do today.

Paulina: Right, right. We both know we got off to a rocky start.

Julie: Well, calling me that old white lady– you know, it doesn’t set quite the same tone as, “pleased to meet you.”

Paulina: No. And then, like I always do, I tried to take over, to commandeer the christening.

Julie: You have commandeered everything in this town. And lied through your teeth the entire time. And I have not yet heard my apology.

Paulina: Well, if you’d just give me the chance– I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to snap.
[Sighs] I, uh–just, uh– this is hard for me.

Julie: I can imagine.

Paulina: There was this awful, awful moment when I was standing right before your grandparents’ plaque and abe started talking about them with such respect and affection and love. So I knew then that they must’ve been really good people, special people. And I thought to myself, “what have I done here?”

Julie: I’m sure you’ll be standing by with a hanky and sobbing into it when your wrecking ball smashes their plaque to smithereens.

[Cell phone ringing]

Paulina: No, julie–

Julie: Uh… I have to take this. Hello, doug. Well, you’ll never guess who showed up at the front door. What? Oh, my god!

Allie: Ciara doesn’t hate you, ben.

Ben: No? Then why has she pushed me away since the day that she got back here? Why does she look at me like I make her sick? But most importantly, allie, why is she marrying another man on our anniversary?

Allie: I can’t answer that. I– [Sighs] I just believe that somewhere inside she still loves you.

Ben: She doesn’t remember that. Allie, she doesn’t remember that, and I can’t make her. Because I’ve tried, and I’ve tried. I have spent every waking minute since she came back here trying to jog her memory of us and how much we really love each other. And all it’s doing is making her more and more angry.

Allie: I know. I tried too. And the same thing happened. I just–

Ben: Wait, wait, what? What do you mean you tried too?

Allie: Last night. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but I told her about your wedding, how beautiful she was, how happy the two of you were.

Ben: [Sighs] Nothing, right?

Allie: It didn’t seem to trigger her memory.

Ben: [Sighs] I figured.

Allie: But maybe I got through to her on some level.

Ben: What do you mean, on some level? How so?

Allie: As I was talking about, you know, how much you two love each other, for the briefest moment, I noticed something in her expression change. Like it actually affected her.

Claire: You really shouldn’t have done that.

Ciara: You pushed me too hard, claire.

Claire: Yeah, well, now you’ve pushed me too hard!

Ciara: What are you do–ow! Stop it! Oh, my god, claire! You are ruining the–

Shawn: Whoa!

Ciara: You are crazy! Stop it! [Grunts]

Shawn: What are you doing?

Claire: I’m trying to beat some sense into her!

Ciara: No wonder you were locked up, claire. You’re absolutely crazy!

Shawn: Okay, but seriously, you cannot hit her!

Claire: She slapped me first!

Ciara: Yeah, because he was trying to kick me out of the house!

Claire: How could you let her get ready here and not even tell me about it?

Shawn: Because I thought it would be a good opportunity for the two of you to work things out.

Claire: Oh, right!

Shawn: But you know what? Claire, I think you should leave.

Claire: This is my house!

Ciara: [Scoffs] This is my mother’s house. Where is she, anyway? I thought you were supposed to pick her up from the airport.

Shawn: Well, I’m afraid I have some bad news. I order my groceries online now.

Eli: Did lani take off?

Chanel: Yep. Have you had breakfast? I made pancakes.

Eli: Mmm. Yes, great.

Chanel: What time’s the wedding?

Eli: In a couple hours.

Chanel: I wish I knew theo was engaged before I threw myself at him the other night. That was embarrassing.

Eli: What exactly did you do?

Chanel: I kissed him.

Eli: You kissed him? Just out of the blue?

Chanel: It wasn’t totally out of the blue. I mean, he was my boyfriend at some point.

Eli: I knew that, but I didn’t think you were still into him.

Chanel: Well, I’m not. I was just sort of in a bad place, looking for comfort.

Eli: Oh, ’cause of your mom?

Chanel: No, because of allie. She rejected me.

Allie: I really don’t wanna get your hopes up, but it looked like she had some kind of reaction.

Ben: Can you tell me more, please, like, what do you mean a reaction? Like, she–what, looked sad?

Allie: Sad, yeah, and– I don’t know, maybe I’m imagining it, but it just seemed like she was remembering something that she hadn’t remembered before.

Ben: [Sighs]

Allie: And maybe being in salem will help too.

Ben: I think it would, but, I mean, if she marries theo, they’re gonna go straight back to south africa. They’re never gonna look back. She’s never gonna look back. I have to do something.

Allie: What can you do? I mean, the wedding’s in a couple of hours.

Ben: You’re absolutely right. That means I’m running out of time.

Ciara: You’re scaring me, shawn. Did something happen to mom?

Shawn: No, no, no, no, no. It’s nothing like that. Her plane had some mechanical problems and then they had to turn it back around. So there’s no way that she’s gonna make it today.

Ciara: Great.

Claire: Ciara, think about it. You can’t get married without your mom here.

Ciara: [Scoffs] Well, of course I can. All of the plans are already made, so I’m sure she’ll be okay with it.

Shawn: She said that you should go along with today. She doesn’t wanna ruin it.

Claire: I’m sorry, I do not understand why grandma hope would say that she should go ahead with marrying a man she doesn’t even love!

Ciara: There she goes again!

Claire: And why is everyone pretending like this isn’t gonna end in a huge disaster?

Ciara: Oh, you know what’s a huge disaster? You beating me with my bouquet. You trying to make my life miserable! You trying to make me doubt the love that I have for theo. And it’s not working, claire. It’s not going to work, so why don’t you just leave? Go, get the hell out of here, and go hang out with your buddy-buddy the necktie killer and talk about what a lunatic I am for not wanting to be the wife of a serial killer instead of an honorable, wonderful person who has never killed a single soul.

Shawn: Okay, ciara, okay, all claire is trying to do–

Ciara: All she’s trying to do, shawn, is ruin my life.

Shawn: No, you know that that is not true.

Claire: Dad, just stop defending me. If that is what ciara believes, then fine, I will go. But we both know that the only reason you are so desperate to marry theo today is because you’re just trying to hurt ben. Because you’re afraid, ciara. You’re afraid that eventually you’re gonna remember how much you love him.

Ciara: Believe what you want, claire. I honestly don’t give a damn.

Claire: You know, last night ben told me that you were the bravest person he’d ever known. But right now when I look at you all I see is a coward.

Ciara: [Sighing]

Abe: No, you’re right. Breaking up with paulina makes me think about you and ciara.

Theo: But dad, they’re two totally different situations. Ciara has never lied to me. She doesn’t keep secrets.

Abe: But she could still end up hurting you.

Theo: Dad, I’m not a kid anymore. You don’t need to protect me. I love ciara, and I am willing to take that risk. And really, aren’t there always risks in relationships?

Abe: You remind me of your mother. Sometimes wise as hell, but stubborn as they come.

Theo: That’s me.

Abe: And I love you for it.

Theo: So no more talk of putting off the wedding?

Abe: Agreed.

Lani: Sorry I’m late.

Theo: No problem. It gave me a chance to remind dad that I’m wise as hell and stubborn as they come.
[Both chuckle]

Lani: Oh, I guessing dad tried to get you to postpone the wedding, and you told him no.

Abe: You’re right.

Lani: Well, I’m glad, because after all of the drama the last few weeks, it will be good to celebrate something for a change. So we’ll focus on this wedding and forget all about ms. Paulina price.

Paulina: Lani, abe. I’m glad you’re both here. It’ll make what I have to do a lot easier.

Eli: I figured allie was the girl that you have been crushing on. So tell me, what happened?

Chanel: Well, allie and I had a moment on the fourth of july, and I stupidly got my hopes up.

Eli: What do you mean, moment? Like, she returned the feelings?

Chanel: Yeah. But then the next day, she told me she also had feelings for tripp. So that’s that.

Eli: I’m sorry. I remember when you told me about this friend, you said that you didn’t think that you’d be able to connect with someone the way you connected with her.

Chanel: Yeah. I still don’T. And I wish you hadn’t reminded me because that just makes it harder.

Eli: Hey. Look, you are smart, you’re beautiful, you’re fun. Okay, I’m sure that you’ll find someone out there that is meant just for you. And it’ll be allie’s loss. Hey, was that better? Yes, it was, right?

Chanel: Much.

Eli: Come here.

Allie: Well, I have the wedding to get ready for, so I’m gonna go, but let me know if you need anything.

Ben: Yeah, thank you.

Allie: And ben, I’m really sorry about everything you’re going through right now. I can’t imagine how bad it hurts.

Ben: Thank you.

Allie: I’ll see you around.

Claire: Allie, what are you doing here?

Allie: I was just seeing if ben was okay.

Claire: I just heard that you are gonna be the maid of honor at ciara and theo’s wedding.

Allie: Yeah, lucky me.

Claire: You know, I’m kinda surprised you agreed to that, allie.

Allie: How could I say no, claire? Bye. Take care, ben.

Claire: Well, that was nice of her to stop by.

Ben: Yeah. She is actually a good person. What’s going on with you?

Claire: Well, I just got into a huge fight with ciara.

Ben: Oh.

Claire: Yeah, turns out that she’s getting ready for the wedding at my house. Long story short, she slapped me, so I went at her with the wedding bouquet.

Ben: Oh, my god–good times.

Claire: Yeah, it was kinda horrible, actually.

Ben: Claire, you do not have to fight my battles for me.

Claire: Oh, no, this wasn’t your battle, it was mine. She treats me like dirt too, you know.

Ben: No, I know, but she’s still going through with the wedding, right?

Claire: Yeah, even though grandma hope can’t even make it.

Ben: Good. Why not?

Claire: Mechanical issues with the plane. I mean, her own mother isn’t gonna able to be there, and she still won’t postpone it.

Ben: Yeah, because she’s trying to make sure that it has to be today to stick it to me.

Claire: You know what? The way she’s behaving, I am beginning to think that you’re well rid of her.

Ciara: I hope allie has time to pick up a new bouquet. I mean, look at what claire did to this one. It’s all over the place.

Shawn: I know, I’m sorry. I hate seeing the two of you fighting again.

Ciara: [Sighs] Shawn, I’m sorry that you got caught in the middle. It’s just she makes me so angry.

Shawn: [Sighs] I know. Ciara, she loves, you, though. I know it’s hard to believe, but she just wants to help you.

Ciara: Shawn, she’s your daughter, so you’re defending her. I understand that, but she doesn’t get to weigh in on this. This is my decision to make, not hers. And I know you think that this is a bad idea too, but, unlike claire, at least you’re trying to be on my side.

Shawn: Okay, well, you know what? At the risk of another fight, I’m just gonna– I’m gonna stop trying.

Ciara: Stop trying? What does that mean?

Shawn: It means that– like as much as I wanna support you on this decision, I can’t, in good conscience, not tell you that. Like claire says, I… I really think that you need to postpone this wedding.

Abe: Paulina, this is a family celebration.

Paulina: I promise this won’t take long. And it’s important.

Abe: Well, you have until the waiter comes to take our order.

Paulina: That’s all I need. The other night, you told me if I really wanted to make it up to you, to stop the demolition. Well, I took those words to heart, and as of an hour ago, I called everything off. Horton town square is here to stay. It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Allie: Dupree?

Chanel: Hey, horton, what’s up with the flowers? You and tripp getting married?

Allie: Me and tripp? No. I’m ciara’s maid of honor.

Chanel: Cool.

Allie: So where did you end up staying last night?

Chanel: Lani and eli’S.

Allie: I’m sorry you felt you had to go somewhere else, but it was probably for the best. There was major drama with my aunt nicole and uncle eric. I think they’re done.

Chanel: What, like, divorce done? I’m sorry.

Allie: Anyway, I’m actually glad I ran into you. I wanted to talk to you.

Chanel: About?

Allie: I know you said you were fine about me wanting to be with tripp, but I could tell that I hurt your feelings. I’m sorry for that, and I really hope that me and you can still be friends. If that’s okay with you.

Lani: I thought you said you were gonna lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if you didn’t move forward.

Paulina: I am. But I’m willing to take the hit if I have a chance of fixing things with all of you.

Theo: So, no price town?

Paulina: No. No. I’ll go back to the plan i pitched you in the first place. I’ll connect all of the buildings to create an indoor marketplace and lease those spots to small business owners, with a special emphasis on diversity.

Theo: You’re not gonna make a lot of money that way.

Paulina: No, no, and it’ll probably take a year or more to even turn a profit. But I wanna prove to your father and your sister that they mean more to me than money.

Theo: Well, I think you’ve taken a good first step.

Paulina: And you two? What do you think?

Abe: Well, I’m not sure what to say.

Lani: Okay, you decided to do the right thing; great. But this is theo’s wedding day, and that is what we should focus on.

Paulina: Right, right, of course, of course. Theo, congratulations. I hope you’ll be very happy.

Abe: Well… [Clears throat] That was out of the blue.

Lani: Oh, come on. You–you don’t believe that crap…did you?

Abe: [Sighs]

Ciara: Look, shawn, I thought we settled this already.

Shawn: But–I’m not trying to upset you here. I’m just saying that everything is going so fast. Is there anything wrong with just maybe taking a moment and allowing yourself to think whether or not you’re marrying theo for the right reasons?

Ciara: Shawn, when I woke up in that hospital, I was told I had forgotten years of my life and that I was married to the necktie killer.

Shawn: I know, that’s–

Ciara: And the only person who didn’t have any expectations for me and who didn’t make any demands from me was theo. He made me feel safe, he made me feel loved, and I think those are very, very good reasons to marry someone.

Shawn: Okay, okay. I totally understand that. But answer me this. Why so fast?

Ciara: Damn it, shawn, please! [Sighs] It’s bad enough that mom can’t be here, and now to think that my own brother doesn’t even want me to go through with this. [Sighs]

Shawn: Okay, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right, you’re right. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, all right? I shouldn’t have said anything. Sorry.

Ciara: It’s fine. You were just looking out for me.

Shawn: I’m trying.

Ciara: I want mom to be here.

Shawn: I know. Look, I do too. Look, she feels terrible.

Ciara: [Sighs] Oh, well. [Sobs, sniffles] You know, we can’t do anything about it, so let’s just hope that nothing else goes wrong, right?

Julie: Darling, girl. Shawn. I’m afraid I have bad news.

Ciara: [Sighs]

Ben: Just last night you told me that I couldn’t give up on her.

Claire: Yeah, I know. But she is being horrible to you, ben, and you do not deserve that.

Ben: We both know this isn’t the real ciara. She’s only pushing me away right now because she’s afraid.

Claire: Ben, that is not an excuse for the way that she’s treating you.

Ben: Okay, and what about what she excused me for doing? Not just excused me, but forgave me, and forgave you too. This girl never gave up on us when she had every right to, claire. We have got to get her through this.

Claire: You are a saint.

Ben: [Laughs incredulously] Said nobody ever.

Claire: Still, I don’t think that I would’ve been able to keep the faith the way you have.

Ben: Yeah, well, you know what? That’s all I got. I’m stubborn that way.

Claire: So is she. Ben, ciara is determined to marry theo today.

Ben: I am just as determined to stop her. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Theo: So you think paulina was lying, that she’s still gonna tear down the square?

Lani: I don’t know for sure, but yes, I think. I think this could just be another one of her lies. I mean, what if she’s just trying to get dad to call off the lawyers?

Abe: You know, I thought that too, but I just talked to the lawyers. Paulina was telling the truth. Demolition has been called off.

Lani: This could just be another hidden agenda, dad.

Abe: I don’t know. She seemed genuinely sorry.

Lani: You’re not really thinking about forgiving her, are you?

Allie: We don’t have to talk about this now. Just think about it.

Paulina: Chanel, can I have a word with you?

Chanel: I’m kind of in the middle of something.

Paulina: I think that you’ll want to hear this.

Allie: I’ll leave you two alone.

Paulina: Honey, I want you to hear this too. Well, looks like you two will have the bakery after all.

Chanel: I already told you, I don’t wanna be any part of price town.

Paulina: There is no price town. I’m going back to the original plan keeping the square intact. So sweets bits will be up and ready for business real soon.

Julie: So it’s probably an injured rotator cuff. It’s happened before.

Ciara: Wait, so grandpa plays racquetball?

Julie: Twice a week. But he’s the top of his league. I tell him, “please, darling, take it easy,” but that’s not his style. So, there he is sitting in pain in the er right now, waiting to get an x-ray. You know that can take hours. So I’m afraid, darling, we’re not gonna be able to make your wedding.

Ciara: [Sighs] No. First mom, now you and grandpa.

Julie: Hope isn’t gonna be there?

Ciara: No!

Shawn: She was on her way back, but they had to turn the plane around, so–

Julie: Oh, that’s awful.

Ciara: Wait a minute. Is this some kind of weird conspiracy between you guys? You’re just gonna start dropping out of my wedding one by one until I cancel it?

Julie: Don’t be ridiculous. I have here a gift from your grandfather. I wanted to make absolutely sure that you got this before the ceremony. Sweetheart, we wish you all the luck in the world.

Ciara: Thank you. And please give grandpa all of my love.

Julie: Of course, of course.

Ciara: I love you.

Julie: Take a lot of pictures or videos, whatever you guys do nowadays. Love you both so much.

Ciara: Love you.

Shawn: See you, julie.

Julie: Bye-bye.

Ciara: [Scoffs] Well, this is off to a great start.

Claire: I know you swore to stop this wedding, but have you figured out how to do that yet?

Ben: I did. But you might think it’s a little extreme.

Chanel: I– what made you change your mind?

Paulina: I wanted to make things right. Especially between me and you.
[Cell phone ringing]

Paulina: Oh. [Laughs] Uh–oh, it’s an investor, I gotta take this. Okay, I’ll get right back to you on that bakery, okay?

Allie: Chanel, I’m so happy for you.

Chanel: I can’t believe this is happening.

Allie: Listen, I still wanna be a part of the bakery, but I’d understand if that didn’t work for you. And you don’t have to answer right now. And I should really go help ciara get ready for her wedding, so…

Chanel: Hey, horton!

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: Let’s do this.

Theo: Dad’s right. Paulina seemed really sorry.

Abe: And ready to make amends.

Lani: Well, it’s too late for that. Dad, do you not remember that she just lied to our faces over and over again? She almost destroyed your reputation. I mean, dad, she can’t expect us to just turn around and forgive her like that.

Abe: You know what I think? Theo’s getting married today, and we should turn our attention toward that.

Lani: You’re right. Theo, I’m sorry.

[Cell phone rings]

Theo: One second. Hey, what’s up? You have gotta be kidding me.

Claire: Extreme is my middle name. Lay it on me.

Ben: Do you remember when ciara was leaving for south africa, and I told you that I came up with a plan?

Claire: Uh-huh. You were going to kidnap her and take her to the cabin to jog her memory.

Ben: And I couldn’t go through with that then. But this is a now-or-never situation, so I’m going to kidnap ciara before she marries theo.

Ciara: [Sighs, scoffs] You know, I know that I said theo and I wanted a small wedding, but this is getting a little bit ridiculous.

Shawn: Yeah, well, maybe the universe is trying to tell you something.

Ciara: Universe–no. Please don’t even go there, okay? You know I don’t believe in omens, good or bad.

Shawn: You used to.

Ciara: “You used to.”

Shawn: You used to also think that you and ben had a psychic connection. Just like mom and dad had.

Ciara: Yeah, well, that was a different ciara. This ciara is going to marry theo today, and nothing the universe can do is going to stop it.

Ben: What do you think?

Claire: What do I think of you kidnapping ciara on her wedding day?

Ben: I told you, you might think it was a little extreme.

Claire: Extreme is kind of an understatement.

Ben: [Sighs]

Claire: But you know what? It’s also kind of traditional.

Ben: That’s not quite the word I’d use, but–

Claire: Wait, ciara never told you? Oh, her dad once kidnapped her mom to stop her from marrying another man.

Ben: [Exhales sharply] Well, it all worked out for them, right?

Claire: Eventually. Okay, story goes that she was royally ticked off at him for a very long time.

Ben: Okay, I can deal with ciara being mad at me for a very long time, but I cannot deal with losing her forever.

Claire: Ben, do you really think this is a good idea?

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

B&B logo

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Carter: You’re beautiful. Inside and out.

Quinn: I almost believe that when I’m with you.

Carter: Believe it. You’re an incredible woman, Quinn. You’re warm and funny. You’re talented and creative. You’re sexy as hell. I never wanna hear you doubt your worth again.

Finn: That was so good.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I can’t believe you showed up with exactly what we needed.

Steffy: And the exact moment we needed it. And our favorite place, no less.

Finn: Yeah, you even got us our favorite kind.

Steffy: [ Laughs ]

Paris: Well, when the sign says, “Malibu fish tacos”, you get with the fish tacos.

Steffy: Yeah. This would’ve been enough to be our hero. And then, you top it off and you sing to our baby Hayes.

Finn: Yeah, after his parents failed to quiet him down.

Steffy: I know. You come here and you have all the updates for the Forrester Foundation. I’m impressed. You’re a rock star.

Paris: Thanks for the props, but I’m just glad I could help. I can’t imagine how hard it is to manage Kelly, a newborn, and your jobs.

Finn: Hmm, it is challenging.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re working off of no sleep.

Finn: But hey, I’m having the time of my life.

Paris: Aw.

Steffy: You are so adorable.

Paris: Definitely a keeper.

Steffy: [ Laughs ]

Finn: And now, Steffy’s stuck. There’s no getting rid of me now that we have this beautiful family.

Steffy: As if I’d try.

Paris: You guys are so lucky. Family is everything.

Steffy: You miss your sister.

Paris: More than I thought I would, actually. [ Scoffs ] When I went to college, I didn’t really see much of her, and then I came to la and moved in with her, started working at Forrester, we spend a lot of time together. And now, I guess I’m just really feeling her not being here.

Finn: Well, you could always send Paris to Paris. Is that redundant?

Steffy: What?

Finn: [ Laughs ] What?

Steffy: No. I’m sorry. He’s trying to work out the dad jokes.

Finn: [ Laughs ]

Paris: Wow.

Steffy: Wow is right.

Paris: [ Laughs ]

Brooke: Eric. Not that I’m happily anticipating or anything, but, uh, how’s the divorce going with Quinn?

Ridge: That’s subtle. Real subtle.

Brooke: I’m not gonna pretend that I’m not excited to have that woman out of Eric’s life and out of our family for good.

Eric: Well, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to wait a little longer. We’re just at the beginning of this whole thing.

Ridge: Can I ask you something, Dad? You love this woman. You’re okay with all this?

Eric: Quinn and I are well and truly over.

Brooke: [ Sighs ] Well, that is music to my ears. But I don’t think she’s gonna walk away without a fight for some kind of settlement. She’s not gonna be happy just ending up with nothing after being a Forrester for so many years.

Eric: Yes. I think you’re right about that. But, um… Carter is on top of it. I’ll leave her in his capable hands.

Quinn: Don’t you know just what to say.

Carter: I’m only speaking the truth.

Quinn: Uh-hmm. No. Your sincerity… is one of the most beautiful things about you. The fact that– that you hold me in such a high esteem, I– I’m touched. And you know it goes both ways. But this– this incredible moment, this–this connection–

Carter: Is deep and profound.

Quinn: And it’s too costly, Carter. And you have too much at stake. There are times, I wonder…

Paris: Sleeping like the angel he is. How can you guys stand the preciousness?

Finn: Oh, I know. Hayes is the most beautiful, amazing child ever born.

Paris: [ Laughs ]

Steffy: He said modestly.

Paris: No, it’s true. I want one just like him some day.

Finn: So you want kids?

Paris: A family. I want what I’m looking at. What you guys have.

Steffy: My advice? Be patient. This was a long time coming.

Paris: Obviously, it was worth the wait.

Steffy: Oh, without a doubt.

Finn: Uh-hmm. Well, you took your sweet time coming into my life. I mean, I’d almost given up hope in finding someone to commit my life to, and then, Steffy, she came crashing into my ER.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. What turned out to be the worst day of my life ended up being the best. I found my future when I wasn’t even looking or conscious, actually. [ Laughter ]

Finn: Oh, I knew as soon as I laid eyes on Steffy that my life had been changed forever.

Steffy: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: And something, uh, inside of me just recognized that you were the woman I was meant to be with… and here you are. You, me, Kelly, and Baby Hayes completes our circle.

Paris: You both chose well.

Ridge: I’m glad you’ve given Carter another chance. He screwed up, but he is remorseful.

Brooke: I agree. I mean, there’s no telling what Quinn might’ve done to seduce him. She’s always had a roving eye and that’ll never change. You know, I–I think she just gets bored.

Eric: And it’s exhausting and I don’t wanna put up with it anymore. At least Carter’s not wasting any time moving on.

Brooke: Right?

Ridge: It did seem like he was entertaining somebody else.

Brooke: Hmm, what was your first clue? The fact that he was shirtless or that there was a dress draped over the couch?

Ridge: I was just wondering who it might be, that’s all.

Brooke: Uh-hmm.

Carter: So, after everything you lost, because of this, because of us, you– you’re concerned about me.

Quinn: Why should we both lose everything? You’re COO and lead counsel of Forrester Creations. I mean, you have such a huge future ahead of you and, uh, I don’t wanna ruin that because we can’t stay away from each other.

Carter: But doesn’t that mean something?

Quinn: Yes, it means that we can’t explore it. Look at what just happened. [ Laughs ] I mean, that was a close call, pun intended.

Carter: Okay. Yeah, I have to admit, I freaked out when I saw Eric on the video.

Quinn: Yeah. And then, Ridge saw my dress behind you. If I hadn’t jumped out of the way in so quickly, it would have been disastrous., Eric’s forgiveness and acceptance for you is based on you never seeing me again. I shouldn’t even be here. I have brought nothing but chaos into your life.

Carter: That’s not true.

Quinn: Carter.

Carter: It’s a little true.

Quinn: Oh, come on. Hey, it’s Quinn, the human wrecking ball. I heard Eric’s voice on that phone… and I thought about… all the years we’ve spent together. We were so happy. So happy. And I– I should’ve guarded that with my life. But what did I do? I–I– I destroyed it. I didn’t just destroy it, I hurt the sweetest, kindest man who’s never done anything but give me just pure love in my life. And I am so afraid that I’m gonna do the same thing to you. I care too much about you to let that happen.

Eric: I know how we all love to speculate about things that are none of our business in other people’s lives but, uh, a dress over Carter’s couch doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a woman there.

Brooke: And, you said that the dress looked too small for Carter, so who could it be?

Eric: [ Laughs ] So? It could be a million other things.

Ridge: Yes. Such as, go ahead. What–what is your opinion? You obviously wanna say something.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Oh, me?

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Oh, I don’t know. Uh, I guess, why not, right? He’s single, he’s not with Zoe anymore, she moved to Paris, and maybe, this is exactly what he needs. I–I don’t…

Ridge: Or maybe Dad is right. That there are a million reasons why there could be a dress in his apartment. Maybe Carter is just sitting there alone trying to pick up the pieces.

Quinn: You didn’t ask for me. I just showed up [ Chuckles ] And almost tore down everything you’ve spent so many years to build.

Carter: You act like I wasn’t in the room. I was with you, Quinn. I was close so I felt your breath on my skin, kissing you, touching you… making love to you. Those are all choices that I made just like you.

Quinn: And did you not see how I destroyed my marriage to the kindest most forgiving man in the world? You have to do what Eric says. You–you– you can’t see me anymore.

Carter: It’s not that easy. Quinn, I’ve never met a woman like you, I’ve never experienced anything like what happens when we’re together.

Quinn: [ Sighs ]

Carter: I can’t get you out of my head. And I know this shouldn’t happen… but I don’t want it to end.

Paris: Oh, this view is everything. You got the ocean. Oh, a private beach.

Steffy: Yeah, I love it here.

Finn: I know, right? Me, too.

Paris: I mean, what’s not to love? It’s like a permanent vacation. It sure as heck beats the convenience store view from Zoe’s apartment. [ Laughter ] Um, but I had thought about the Foundation. We should create an online platform that enables us to tell stories inspiring people to help and reach out. But these would be like ordinary people, not Forrester business associates.

Steffy: Yeah, I–I like it. Do you have a proposal?

Paris: No, not yet. Uh, there’s just a lot going on.

Finn: What’s been going on?

Paris: [ Sighs ] Well, it was a curve ball when Zoe decided she wasn’t gonna come back to la, so everything’s fallen on me. I have to vacate her apartment, put all of her stuff in storage, and find my own place. And, you know, it’s just been hard, especially because la is so expensive, especially on the west side where I’d like to be. And I don’t know. I just kind of like a vagabond, living with my life in the trunk of my car.

Steffy: Seriously?

Paris: Unfortunately.

Steffy: You must be under a lot of stress now that Zoe decided to stay in Paris.

Paris: I mean, yeah, it–it’s just–it was jarring, but don’t worry. I’ll be fine.

Finn: Are you still in the apartment?

Paris: No, I left. Now, I’m in a hotel.

Steffy: You’re in a hotel?

Paris: Yeah, but it’s only until I find a place.

Steffy: Paris, would you like to stay with us?

Paris: I couldn’t have heard you right.

Finn: No, we’d love for you to stay here.

Steffy: Yeah. We don’t want you sleeping at a hotel with half your stuff in a car.

Finn: Yeah, and there’s plenty of room.

Steffy: Even if it’s for a few days until you get situated.

Paris: Oh, no, I couldn’t impose on you like that.

Steffy: We’re offering. That’s what Forresters do. We look out for one another. I mean, if you’re cool with, like, two kids screaming 24/7.

Paris: Oh, I–I–I love kids. Screaming and all.

Finn: But what–what– what is it?

Paris: I don’t know. I–I guess I’m just still getting used to the fact that Zoe is not coming back to la and I guess I’m just feeling alone, and then you guys reach out with all this love and generosity.

Finn: So, will you stay?

Paris: [ Sighs ] Okay. If–if you mean it, I promise I won’t be an imposition. Or–or outstay my welcome. I will be out of here as soon as I find a place. And I’ll–I’ll pitch in around here, I’ll help in with the kids and help with the housework.

Steffy: No, you don’t have to do that. You’re our guest.

Finn: Yes. And you can take as much or as little time as you need.

Steffy: There’s only two things I need.

Paris: Okay.

Steffy: One, you need to chill and make yourself at home.

Paris: Oh, you’re driving a hard bargain there.

[ Laughter ]

Steffy: And two, what’s mine is yours.

Paris: [ Chuckles ] Wow. This is the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me. Thank you, Steffy.

Steffy: Of course. Oh, my gosh. We’re–we’re so happy to help you.

Paris: You, too.

Finn: What Steffy said.

Eric: I don’t understand what’s taking Carter so long.

Ridge: You seem to be in quite a hurry, Dad.

Eric: [ Sighs ] Look, I wanna get this whole thing started, this whole divorce proceeding. And I want us to talk about the future of the jewelry line.

Brooke: Really sounds like you’re hoping Carter sticks it to Quinn.

Quinn: You have been… such a revelation to me, Carter. I have never known a man like you before. And I wanna know everything there is to know about you. Hmm. But it can’t be. I have to let you go. Otherwise, I’m gonna ruin your life. It’s my special talent.

Carter: Stop putting yourself down. Quinn, you’re a wonderful, talented, complex woman. You’ve captured me. My imagination. You–you’re in my head all the time.

Quinn: [ Laughs ] Same here. The man that you are, everything that you stand for, everything that you’ve worked years and years to accomplish… it’s all gonna be gone because of me. And you know what? Won’t even be worth it because I’m just gonna hurt you the way I’ve hurt every other man who’s ever been in my life. And you’re just gonna end up hating me in the end. And I couldn’t stand that because I care too much about you. You know I’m right. [ Sighs ] I’m always right.

Carter: Not this time.

Quinn: [ Sighs ] I shouldn’t even be here. I just… just wanted to see you one last time.

Carter: I’m glad you did.

Quinn: Then this is it. Goodbye.

Eli and Lani at home 7/21/21

Eli comes out of the shower at home where Lani is preparing to go meet Abe for breakfast. Lani jokes with Eli to put some clothes on as Chanel wakes up from sleeping on the couch. Chanel is wearing a sleep mask over her eyes and jokes that this time she came prepared.

Paulina goes to see Julie but Julie shuts the door in her face. Paulina remarks that she better get used to that.

Theo and Abe eat together at Julie’s Place. Theo asks if they’ve figured out a way to stop Paulina from tearing down the town square. Abe says they have another plea today but he’s not optimistic. Theo understands if Abe has to go be there but Abe says no. Theo knows how important it is. Abe states that if Theo is going to get married today then that’s where he will be. Theo asks what he means by “if”. Abe responds that he thinks he should call the wedding off.

Ben dreams of his wedding to Ciara, then wakes up and looks at their wedding photo. Ben hears a knock so he scrambles to the door in hopes that it’s Ciara, but it’s Allie, who asks if he was expecting somebody else.

Ciara is putting her makeup on at Belle and Shawn’s house. Claire walks in and questions what she’s doing here. Ciara responds that she’s getting ready for her wedding but Claire says not in this house.

Theo questions Abe thinking he should call off the wedding. Abe points out that he and Ciara have only been together for a couple of months. Theo argues that he’s known her for his whole life. Abe still thinks he should give it more time. Abe asks what if Ciara starts to remember being married to Ben and being happy. Abe doesn’t want the rug pulled out from under Theo. Theo questions if this is about he and Ciara or about Abe and Paulina.

Julie and Paulina 7/21/21

Paulina continues knocking until Julie answers the door again. Julie tells her to go away. Paulina thinks they need to talk but Julie isn’t interested. Paulina says she didn’t come to fight but Julie says all she is going to get from her is conflict. Paulina informs her that she came to apologize.

Allie wanted to give Ben a heads up that Ciara and Theo are getting married today. Ben informs her that Claire already told him. Allie adds that Ciara asked her to be her maid of honr and she agreed. Ben questions why she is here then. Allie knows he’s hurt and admits she doesn’t think the wedding is a good idea, but she’s going to be the maid of honor because she loves Ciara and knows how hurt she would be if she refused. Allie adds that Ciara is going to marry Theo whether she’s maid of honor or not, but she doesn’t feel like she can turn her back on her. Ben tells Allie that he has no beef with her and he gets it. Allie admits she tried to get Ciara to wait but she wouldn’t listen and she has no idea why Ciara feels she has to get married on their anniversary. Ben understands that Ciara is trying to prove that she hates him.

Ciara tells Claire that she doesn’t need her permission to do anything and reveals that Shawn already told her that she can get ready here. Claire says she won’t help her. Ciara says the last thing she wants is her help. Ciara adds that Allie is her maid of honor and tells Claire to get out. Claire can’t believe Ciara is going ahead with this farce. Ciara argues that she loves Theo. Claire says not the way she loves Ben. Claire argues that Ciara will end up hurting Ben and Theo. Ciara argues that she doesn’t know anything. Claire insists that this will be a huge disaster so she’s trying to talk her out of it. Ciara complains that she’s just making her mad. Claire asks Ciara to stop and listen to the people who care about her. Ciara brings up Claire trying to set her on fire twice. Claire tells her that she can’t talk to her like that in her own house and tells her to get out. Claire tries to force Ciara out but Ciara says to get her hands off of her. Ciara then slaps Claire.

Eli tells Lani to enjoy her breakfast and that he’ll see her at the church as he goes to get dressed. Chanel then removes her sleep mask and thanks Lani for letting her stay. Lani says they couldn’t just kick her to the curb after everything with her mom. Chanel says she’s so done with her mom and mentions Paulina suggesting that she could open her bakery in Price Town. Chanel declares that if Paulina wants to make things right with them, she’s going to have to do much better than that.

Paulina comes in and compliments Julie’s home and a photo of her and Doug. Julie isn’t buying her apology and tells her to cut to the chase as she has a lot to do today. Paulina brings up their rocky start and admits she tried to take over the Christening. Julie points out how Paulina has been lying the entire time and she still hasn’t heard her apology. Paulina complains that it’s hard for her. Paulina talks about a moment when Abe started talking about Tom and Alice with such love and she knew then that they must have been really good, special people, so she thought what has she done here. Julie comments on Paulina’s wrecking ball smashing their plaque. Julie then gets a call from Doug, who has bad news.

Allie tells Ben that Ciara doesn’t hate him. Ben asks why she’s been pushing him away since the day she got here and why is she marrying another man on their anniversary. Allie can’t answer that but she believes that somewhere inside, Ciara still loves him. Ben laments that Ciara doesn’t remember that and he can’t make her despite all of his attempts since it’s just making her more angry. Allie says she tried too and the same thing happened which Ben questions. Allie informs him that last night, she told Ciara about their wedding but it didn’t seem to trigger her memory. Allie wonders if she got through to her on some level. Allie says for the briefest moment, she noticed a change in Ciara’s expression like it actually affected her.

Claire warns Ciara that she shouldn’t have done that. Ciara says she pushed her too hard. Claire grabs Ciara’s flowers and starts hitting her with them until Shawn runs in to interrupt and questions what’s going on. Claire says she’s trying to beat sense in to Ciara. Ciara calls her absolutely crazy. Claire complains that she slapped her first and questions how Shawn could let Ciara get ready here without telling her. Shawn thought it would be a good opportunity for them to work things out but tells Claire to leave. Claire argues that it’s her house while Ciara calls it her mother’s house. Ciara asks where Hope is since she thought Shawn was picking her up from the airport. Shawn informs her that he has some bad news.

Eli comes back from getting dressed so Chanel brings him pancakes for breakfast. Chanel asks when the wedding is. Eli says it’s in a couple of hours. Chanel wishes she knew Theo was engaged before she threw herself at him and kissed him the other night which Eli questions. Chanel says he was her boyfriend at one point. Eli didn’t know she was still in to him. Chanel admits she’s not but she was in a bad place and looking for comfort, because Allie rejected her.

Allie doesn’t want to get Ben’s hopes up but says it looked like Ciara had some kind of reaction. Ben asks more about it. Allie says it seemed like Ciara was remembering something and encourages that maybe being in Salem might help too. Ben agrees but worries that if Ciara marries Theo, they will go straight back to South Africa and never look back. Ben declares he has to do something. Allie asks what he can do when the wedding is in a couple of hours. Ben says that means he’s running out of time.

Ciara asks Shawn if something happened to Hope. Shawn explains that her plane had mechanical problems and had to turn back around so there’s no way she’s going to make it tonight. Claire argues that Ciara can’t get married without her mom here. Ciara says she can because all of the plans are already made. Shawn confirms that Hope told her to go ahead because she doesn’t want to ruin it. Claire argues that Ciara doesn’t even love Theo. Ciara complains about Claire running her mouth while Claire insists that this is going to end in a huge disaster. Ciara continues to complain about Claire and says she’s not going to make her doubt her love for Theo. Ciara tells Claire to go hang out with Ben. Ciara says Claire is just trying to ruin her life. Shawn tries to get through to her but Claire stops him and says if that’s what Ciara believes, she will go. Claire adds that they both know Ciara is only desperate to marry Theo today to hurt Ben because she’s afraid that she’s going to remember how much she loves him. Ciara tells her to believe what she wants because she doesn’t give a damn. Claire brings up Ben calling Ciara the bravest person he’d ever know, but right now all she sees is a coward. Claire then walks out.

Theo and Lani 7/21/21

Abe agrees with Theo that breaking up with Paulina makes him think about he and Ciara. Theo calls them two totally different situations as Ciara has never lied to him and doesn’t keep secrets. Abe points out that she could still hurt him. Theo says he’s not a kid anymore so he doesn’t need to protect him. Theo declares that he loves Ciara so he’s willing to take that risk. Abe calls Theo wise and stubborn like his mother and says he loves him for it. Abe agrees not to talk about putting off the wedding anymore. Lani arrives and apologizes for being late. Lani guesses that Abe tried to get Theo to postpone the wedding and Theo said no which Abe confirms. Lani is glad because after all the drama of the last few weeks, it will be good to celebrate something for a change. Lani declares that they can focus on the wedding and forget all about Paulina Price. Paulina then enters Julie’s Place and says she’s glad that Lani and Abe are both there because it will make what she has to do a lot easier.

Eli figured that Allie was the girl Chanel was crushing on and asks what happened. Chanel informs him that they had a moment on the 4th of July so she stupidly got her hopes up. Eli asks if she means that Allie returned her feelings. Chanel says yes but then the next day, she told her that she also had feelings for Tripp so that’s that. Eli is sorry to hear. Chanel doesn’t think she will be able to connect with someone like she did with Allie. Eli encourages that she will find someone who is meant for her and then it will be Allie’s loss. Chanel hugs him to thank him.

Allie tells Ben that she has to get ready for the wedding but tells him to let her know if he needs anything. Allie adds that she’s really sorry for everything he’s going through right now as she can’t imagine how bad it hurts. Ben thanks her. Allie goes to leave as Claire arrives and asks what she’s doing there. Allie says she was just making sure Ben was okay. Claire brings up just hearing that Allie is going to be Ciara’s maid of honor. Claire is surprised Allie agreed to that. Allie asks how she could say no. Allie hugs Claire and tells Ben to take care as she then exits. Claire admits it was nice of Allie to stop by. Ben agrees that Allie is a good person. Ben asks what’s going on with Claire. Claire informs him that she just got in a huge fight with Ciara since she’s getting ready for the wedding with her house. Claire explains that Ciara slapped her so she went after her with the wedding bouquet. Ben tells her that she doesn’t have to fight his battles. Claire clarifies that this was her battle because Ciara treats her like dirt too. Ben says she’s still going through with the wedding. Claire brings up Hope being unable to make it but Ciara still won’t postpone. Ben knows Ciara is making sure it’s today to stick it to him. Claire is beginning to think Ben is better off without Ciara.

Ciara complains about what Claire did to her bouquet. Shawn hates seeing them fighting. Ciara is sorry that he got caught in the middle but says Claire makes her so angry. Shawn encourages that Claire loves her and just wants to help her. Ciara knows Shawn is defending his daughter but says this is her decision to make. Ciara says at least Shawn is trying to be on her side. Shawn decides to stop trying and says as much as he wants to support her, he can’t and agrees with Claire that she needs to postpone the wedding.

Abe tells Paulina they are having a family celebration. Paulina promises it won’t take long and that it’s important. Abe gives her until the waiter comes to take their order. Paulina says the other night, he said to make it up, she would stop the demolition. Paulina announces that as of an hour ago, she called everything off so Horton Town Square is here to stay which surprises Lani and Abe.

Chanel and Allie 7/21/21

Allie runs in to Chanel in the town square. Chanel questions her flowers and asks if she and Tripp are getting married. Allie explains that she is Ciara’s maid of honor. Allie asks where Chanel ended up staying last night. Chanel tells her that she was at Eli and Lani’s. Allie is sorry that she felt she had to go somewhere else but says it was probably for the best due to the major drama with Nicole and Eric. Allie thinks they are done. Chanel asks if she means they are divorcing which Allie confirms. Chanel says she’s sorry. Allie is glad she ran in to her as she wanted to talk to her. Allie knows Chanel said she was fine about her wanting to be with Tripp, but she could tell that she hurt her feelings. Allie apologizes and hopes they can still be friends.

Lani thought Paulina said she would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars if she didn’t move forward. Paulina confirms that she will but she’s willing to take the hit if she has chance at fixing things with them. Theo asks if this means no Price Town which Paulina confirms. Paulina says she will go back to the original plan of connecting all the buildings in an indoor marketplace and lease the spots to small business owners with diversity. Theo points out that she won’t make a lot of money that way. Paulina says it might take a year but she wants to prove to Abe and Lani that they mean more to her than money. Theo calls it a good first step. Paulina asks what Abe and Lani think. Abe is not sure what to say. Lani says Paulina decided to do the right thing but this is Theo’s wedding day, so that is what they should focus on. Paulina congratulates Theo and hopes he’ll be very happy as she then exits. Abe calls that out of the blue. Lani asks if he really believed that crap.

Ciara tells Shawn that she thought they settled this. Shawn doesn’t want to upset her but feels everything is going so fast and suggests stopping to think if she’s marrying Theo for the right reasons. Ciara talks about forgetting years of her life and being married to the Necktie Killer, while Theo was the only person who had no expectations and made her feel safe and loved, which she feels are good reasons to marry someone. Shawn asks why so fast. Ciara cries about him not wanting her to go through with it. Shawn apologizes and hugs her, saying he shouldn’t have said anything. Ciara understands he was just looking out for her. Ciara cries that she wants her mom to be there. Shawn notes that he does too and Hope feels terrible. Ciara says they can’t do anything about it so she hopes nothing else goes wrong. Julie arrives and announces that she has bad news.

Ben argues that Claire just told him last night that he couldn’t give up on Ciara. Claire acknowledges that but says Ciara is being horrible to him and he doesn’t deserve that. Ben argues that they both know it’s not the real Ciara and she’s only pushing him away because she’s afraid. Claire feels that’s no excuse. Ben talks about what Ciara forgave them for and says she never gave up on them, so they have to get her through this. Claire calls him a saint as she doesn’t think she could keep the faith like he has. Ben says he’s just stubborn that way. Claire says Ciara is too since she’s determined to marry Theo today. Ben responds that he’s just as determined to stop her.

Theo asks if Lani thinks Paulina was lying and is still going to tear down the town square. Lani says she doesn’t know for sure but she thinks it could just be another lie. Lani asks what if she’s just trying to get Abe to call off the lawyers. Abe admits he though that too, but he just talked to the lawyers and confirmed that Paulina was telling the truth as the demolition has been called off. Lani worries that it could just be another hidden agenda. Abe feels that Paulina seemed genuinely sorry. Lani questions if Abe is really thinking about forgiving her.

Allie tells Chanel that they don’t have to talk about it now but wants her to think about it. Paulina interrupts and asks for a word with Chanel. Chanel says she’s in the middle of something. Paulina thinks she will want to hear this. Allie offers to leave them alone but Paulina wants her to hear this too. Paulina declares that they will get their bakery after all because there is no Price Town and she’s going back to her original plan to keep the town square in tact, so Sweet Bits Bakery will be up and ready for business soon, which excites Chanel and Allie.

Julie reveals to Ciara and Shawn that Doug injured his rotator cuff playing racquetball and is now waiting for an x-ray, so she’s afraid they won’t be able to make the wedding. Ciara complains that first Hope and now this. Julie says that’s awful that Hope won’t be able to make it. Ciara asks if this is some kind of weird conspiracy for them to drop out of her wedding until she cancels it. Julie tells her not to be ridiculous. Julie gives Ciara her gift from Doug as he wanted to make sure she got it before the ceremony. Julie says they wish her all the luck in the world. Ciara thanks her and sends her to love to Doug as they hug. Julie tells her to take a lot of pictures and videos. Julie says she loves them as she exits. Ciara remarks on this not being off to a great start.

Claire asks Ben if he’s figured out how to stop the wedding yet. Ben says he did, but she might think it’s a little extreme.

Chanel excitedly asks what made Paulina change her mind. Paulina says she wanted to make things right, especially between them. Paulina then gets a call and says she’ll get back to them on the bakery. Paulina steps away to answer. Allie tells Chanel that she’s so happy for her. Chanel can’t believe this is happening. Allie still wants to be part of the bakery but understands if that doesn’t work for her. Allie adds that she doesn’t have to answer right now as she has to go help Ciara get ready for the wedding. Chanel stops her and says let’s do this.

Theo agrees that Paulina seemed really sorry. Abe thinks she’s ready to make amends. Lani argues that it’s too late for that, reminding Abe that she just lied to their faces over and over again and almost destroyed his reputation. Lani says she can’t expect them to just turn around and forgive her like that. Abe brings up that Theo is getting married today, so they should turn their attention towards that. Lani agrees and apologizes. Theo then gets a call and says they have to be kidding.

Claire wants to hear Ben’s plan. Ben reminds her of when Ciara was leaving for South Africa and he had a plan to kidnap her and take her to the cabin to jog her memory but he couldn’t go through with it then. Ben declares this is a now or never situation, so he’s willing to kidnap Ciara before she marries Theo.

Ciara knows she said she and Theo wanted a small wedding but this is getting ridiculous. Shawn suggests the universe is trying to tell her something. Ciara says she doesn’t believe in omens. Shawn says she used to and she believed that she and Ben had a psychic connection like Hope and Bo had. Ciara calls that a different Ciara, while this Ciara is going to marry Theo today and nothing the universe can do is going to stop it.

Ben asks Claire what she thinks of him kidnapping Ciara on her wedding day. Claire calls extreme an understatement but says it’s also kind of traditional. Claire explains to Ben that Bo once kidnapped Hope to stop her from marrying another man. Ben points out that it all worked out for them. Claire notes that Hope was ticked off at Bo for a very long time. Ben says he can deal with that more than losing her forever. Claire asks if he really thinks this is a good idea.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

At the main house, the bags were packed for the trip to Italy, but Nikki couldn’t find Victor.

Victoria was surprised to see Victor sitting in her living room. She thought he and Nikki were supposed to be on a flight to Europe. He explained that the vacation was still happening but he’d wanted to come say hello to Victoria. He noted that he owned a plane, so he could leave whenever he wanted. Victoria was jealous they were going on the trip. Victor wished Victoria would come, but he knew she was busy with the merger. She thanked him for the flowers in congratulations, and she hoped the sentiment was sincere. He was full of admiration that she parlayed the connection with Ashland into this fantastic merger. She said he made it sound like it was purely a calculated move on her part, but that wasn’t how it happened. “Don’t you disappoint me now. You mean it was Ashland Locke’s idea?,” he asked. Victoria commented on how Victor’s congratulations transformed into disappointment. He told her there was nothing wrong with taking advantage of a situation to get what you wanted. She noted that he’d done that when Ashland had a heart attack. He didn’t want this to become an argument. He intended to come here to congratulate her. He told her not to get hurt. He said they all knew Ashland was ill, and a man in that situation looked for comfort and affection.

Victoria assumed he thought Ashland gave her the company as a ploy to get close to her and move in with her. Victor was caught off guard. “Ashland Locke moved into your house with your kids?,” he asked. She thought Nikki already told him. He said he didn’t want her to get hurt. She told him that he and Billy were on the same page – he’d given her the exact same warning. She wished people would stop saying Ashland was taking advantage of her. She asked if anyone had considered that Ashland tried to push her away and she chose to stay by his side. Victor didn’t think that was wise. Victoria said that Victor couldn’t praise her for pulling off the coup of the century on one hand, then also say she was weak and naive. She was neither, she stated, and she knew what she was getting into. Her relationship with Ashland was intense and wonderful. Victor felt it was happening rather quickly. Victoria thought he and Nikki should go enjoy their romantic vacation. She’d be fine, enjoying her merger personally and professionally. He wished her luck with everything and told her not to get hurt. He said he loved her, and she said it back, then he left.

Victor went home, and the look on his face made Nikki worry that he was going to postpone the trip. He asked why the hell she didn’t tell him that Ashland moved in with their daughter. She didn’t realize the move had already happened. She actually wasn’t sure it was going to happen at all, because she’d assumed Billy would object. Victor groused that the useless Billy couldn’t prevent the move from happening. Nikki clarified that she wasn’t hoping Billy would put a stop to it. She approved of the living arrangement. He couldn’t believe she was in favor of Ashland living with their daughter. He said what about Katie and Johnny. Nikki was concerned about them, but she was sure Billy and Victoria would work together to make sure things went smoothly. He spat that Billy boy couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone do what was best for their grandchildren. She asked if he thought they could change Victoria’s mind about a man – had that worked out over the years? Victor had no problem with Victoria having an affair with Ashland, but to move him into the home with their grandchildren? He added that Ashland was sick, and Victoria would get her heart broken. Nikki understood, but she said Victoria was doing something even bigger than her historic business deal – she was selflessly helping a man say goodbye. “Oh come on,” he scoffed. Nikki packed the tickets to the concert and Summer and Noah’s gifts. Victor was still stewing about Ashland moving in with Victoria. Nikki said they had to trust Victoria and let her live her life. She said he told Victoria how proud he was, so he needed to be proud of the strength they’d instilled in her. He said he was convinced – they’d take their trip, visit Summer and Noah and see what they’d instilled in the next generation.

Ashland showed up at the Abbott house. As soon as Kyle opened the door, Ashland walked in and started yelling Tara’s name. Kyle said Tara was dropping Harrison off at a play date. “Are you behind this? Are you trying to steal my son from me in my last days?,” Ashland demanded to know. Kyle was adamant that no one was trying to steal Harrison. Ashland thought the petition Tara filed in court said otherwise. Kyle advised discussing this with Tara. Ashland wanted answers now, and Tara wasn’t here. He said that if Kyle wanted to be Harrison’s only father figure, he should start acting like it and answer the question. Kyle explained that Tara was worried about Harrison, because he’d cried after the incident in the park, and he’d been having bad dreams ever since. Ashland didn’t realize Harrison was having bad dreams, but that hardly warranted Tara seeking full custody. Kyle said Tara just wanted to protect Harrison, which would be harder and harder to do as he watched Ashland decline. Ashland contended that it’d be even harder for Harrison if he suddenly disappeared from his life. Kyle was sure that Tara didn’t want to cut Ashland out, she just wanted more input about when and where he saw Harrison. Ashland thought that meant Tara wanted him to beg to see his son. Kyle thought that if Ashland could get past his initial anger, he’d see that Tara had a point. “My initial anger is nothing. You just wait until I get warmed up a little and really lean into it,” Ashland said. Kyle told him to be reasonable. Ashland maintained that he needed to be the one to break the news to his son and he needed to spend as much time with Harrison as he could. “So you tell me, Kyle. Who’s the one who’s being unreasonable?” Ashland left.

Later, Kyle demanded to know what Sally was doing in his house. She was looking for Jack. He said Jack wasn’t home. He also wanted her to know how much he hated the way she’d dive bombed back into his father’s life. He accused her of taking advantage of Jack’s loneliness and forgiving nature. Every chance Kyle got, he planned to remind Jack how opportunistic Sally was. She said there was nothing he could tell Jack that he didn’t already know. She suggested he was projecting his own loneliness onto Jack, since Summer left him again. He told her not to push him. He was already making inquiries about how this amazing job on another continent just landed into Summer’s lap. She asked if he didn’t have faith in Summer’s abilities. He knew Summer was hired on merit, but he noted that Sally landed Summer’s old job, which she’d coveted. He also knew that just before Summer got this job offer, Sally flew to L.A. He asked what that trip was about. She said she went to visit some old friends. He found it unlikely that she still had friends in L.A. She said she also did some networking for Fenmore’s and JCV. She told him not to blame Summer’s departure on anyone else but himself, Summer, and his connection to Tara and Harrison. She left.

Lily entered the condo and reported that she’d put Katie on the bus to camp. She asked how Johnny was. Billy said he still had an upset stomach. He hoped he didn’t keep her up all night taking care of his son. As a mom of twins, she understood. He said Johnny seemed to have given up on trying to be brave. She was sorry to leave him alone to deal with all this. He didn’t mind, he was going to give Johnny fluids and he had a book of riddles to keep him amused. He wondered if Johnny was feeling sick because of all the changes going on around him. According to Billy, Johnny was a sensitive kid who internalized upheaval. He thought Johnny was feeling sick because Ashland moved into his mom’s and because he was asked to bring more things to the condo because this would be home base for awhile. Billy thought Johnny knew there was more going on than he was being told. Lily said all they could do was make Johnny feel as comfortable as possible and make this a safe haven for the kids.

Victoria came over to check on Johnny, because she got Billy’s text. Lily left for her meeting. Billy started to explain his thoughts on Johnny’s illness, but Victoria reminded him he’d already told her his theory. He thought his theory was proving itself to be true. She agreed, to an extent, and she planned to work hard to reassure Johnny that he was loved and that these changes weren’t for the worst despite everyone acting like she was making such a terrible mistake. Billy said he saw a different side of Locke yesterday, and Billy now thought he’d been was wrong to question her decision. She appreciated that. Now she just had to try and get her dad on board. He said he was here for her if she needed extra help with the kids or anything. She admitted sometimes things were a little tougher than she let on. He asked if she see a long term future with Locke if he wasn’t dying. He wasn’t judging, he was just curious.

Victoria came downstairs and announced that Johnny ate his crackers, which was a good sign. Billy thought that it was also good for Johnny to see Victoria. He noted that visiting Johnny had given her the perfect excuse to dodge his question. She admitted she’d hoped he’d let it go. She said what she had with Ashland stared off casually, but her feelings grew, and she was just as surprised as everyone else. It was different than her other relationships. It had a lot of depth to it. She didn’t want to take away from what she’d had with Billy, though. He understood. He acknowledged he and Ashland were nothing alike. He was sad that she and Ashland wouldn’t have much time together, because he could tell she was serious about him. She admitted that her relationship with Ashland might be more serious because their time was limited – the urgency had made it pretty powerful. Billy said he was happy if Victoria was. He marveled that they were all grown up.

Lily ran into Moses at the park, and he asked his sister for advice on Faith. He said they were good friends, and he wanted to be more. He asked if that made sense, and Lily said of course – Faith was great. He liked how Faith was open about everything she’d been through. She was smart, funny, and she thought he was funny too. She really understood him. Faith wanted to go slow, and he respected that, but he didn’t want to go so slow that he got friend-zoned. Lily thought he was already handling things well – he’d made it clear he was available, and he was respecting Faith’s wishes. She told him that going slow wasn’t the worst thing. He said it wasn’t the best either. She felt it was attractive and flattering when a guy took his time and got to know a woman. She said there were things he could do to show he cared without overstepping, like little gestures or surprises. He had an idea, and she told him to keep her posted. She left, and he called Devon.

Lily went home with spicy chicken soup for Billy and plain for Johnny. He told her he and Victoria had cleared some things up in a positive way. He thought Victoria actually met her match with Ashland. It was sad they wouldn’t get a happy ending, but he knew Victoria would treasure the time they had left. Billy felt lucky to have his soulmate sitting across from him.

Phyllis face timed Summer by the Grand Phoenix bar. Summer was eager to hear how everyone was doing. Phyllis thought that meant Summer wanted to know how Kyle was. Summer wanted to know how everyone was, but if Phyllis had information about Kyle, she wanted it. Phyllis stated that Tara was still ensconced at the Abbott house with her kid, like one of those scavenger fish that attached to the side of a whale. “Guess I was right about that one,” Summer grumbled. Phyllis promised the Abbotts would see Tara’s true colors very soon. Tara walked in while looking at her phone. Phyllis greeted Tara warmly. Tara was there for coffee because she’d just dropped Harrison off nearby. Phyllis asked Tara if she’d like to say hi to Summer. Tara politely declined and went to the lounge. Summer asked why Phyllis was being so sweet to Tara. Phyllis said she was just being civil, but Summer was sure she was up to something. Summer told Phyllis to leave it alone, because what happened was meant to happen. Summer wanted Phyllis to promise to drop it. Phyllis pretended she lost the connection and couldn’t hear or see Summer anymore. Summer knew her mom was lying, but Phyllis maintained the story and ended the call.

Phyllis went to Tara and apologized for what she said yesterday. “You mean when you accused me of trying to take sole custody from a dying man?” Tara asked. That was what Phyllis meant. She said she was sorry, she was just so concerned for all involved. She sympathized with Tara trying to protect her child from the pain of a dying parent. She confessed that she only pretended to befriend Tara. Tara said she didn’t understand. Phyllis said she was protective of Jack and Kyle, and she didn’t want them to get manipulated. Tara said she wasn’t doing that, and Phyllis said she knew that now. Phyllis saw things in a new light after yesterday, when Tara said they weren’t that different. She now realized she was projecting her past history onto Tara. Phyllis said she did some things she wasn’t proud of in the past, and she used to tell herself she was protecting people, but the truth was that she was just selfish. She once thought that was what Tara was doing with Kyle and Jack, but now she saw that she was wrong. Phyllis apologized and said she’d understand if Tara never wanted to talk to her again. Tara appreciated Phyllis coming clean. As a show of gratitude, Phyllis had some advice – avoid Sally like the plague.

Tara asked what Phyllis had against Sally. Phyllis said everyone knew Sally couldn’t be trusted and that she was only about herself. Phyllis whispered that she thought Sally had something to do with Summer’s sudden departure to Italy. Phyllis said ever since Sally came to town, she was antagonistic and competitive toward Summer. Sally walked in, and Phyllis told her to do with that advice what she would. She walked away. Sally asked what that was about, and Tara said it was nothing to worry about. Sally said Kyle thought she had something to do with Summer running off to Italy. Tara pointed out that Kyle was right. Sally said she didn’t do it alone, so she told Tara to talk to her man and tell him to back off. “If one of us goes down, the other follows,” Sally warned. They didn’t notice that Phyllis was watching them from a distance.

Tara went home, and Kyle noticed she looked rattled. She said she was fine, but he didn’t look so great. He told her that Ashland stormed in, made threats and accusations and stormed back out. Kyle said that with all the media speculation, it was inevitable that their son would find out about Ashland’s illness. Tara had told the parents of Harrison’s friend not to turn on the TV. She thought they needed to tell Harrison that AShland was sick. Kyle wasn’t sure how, and Tara reminded him that they’d done research, and he’d read all those books he bought on child grief. Kyle understood Ashland’s desire to be the one to tell Harrison. Tara suggested they go to lunch and talk it over.

Victoria and Ashland met at Society. He felt like Tara was avoiding him. Victoria wasn’t surprised. He felt strongly that he had to be the one to tell Harrison about his illness, and now it seemed like he wouldn’t even be able to do that. Victoria thought what Tara was doing was disgusting. She said no judge would take a dying man’s son from him. He didn’t think it was that simple. His attorneys thought Tara’s argument that his impending demise might be too disturbing for Harrison could sway a judge. Especially given that video from the park. Victoria said that video was taken out of context. She promised to help him fight Tara. She suggested that it might help his cause if he accepted treatment. “This whole situation is becoming unbearable!,” he snapped, slamming his hand on the table. The sound made Victoria jump. They looked up just in time to see Kyle and Tara staring at them.

Victoria advised ignoring Tara and Kyle. She didn’t want Ashland to do something he’d regret. He said he wouldn’t regret this. He went over and told Tara she’d been hiding from him. She countered that she was right in front of him. He told her this was her cruelest dirtiest move yet. She stated that she was trying to protect Harrison. She said he didn’t see the terror in Harrison’s eyes after the incident at the park. She said if he didn’t realize his condition would get worse, he was in deep denial or a fool. Victoria said Ashland was nobody’s fool, and Tara wasn’t very bright if she thought she could rip the boy from his father. Kyle noted that he was the biological father. He said Tara was just trying to protect her son. “You don’t know a damn thing about what she’s doing. You don’t know. I’m his father!” Ashland yelled. He had trouble breathing, and Victoria helped him calm down. Tara said Ashland was proving her point. She asked if he wanted to scar Harrison for life as he watched him fight to breathe. He warned her that this wasn’t over, and he wouldn’t let her steal his son. Ashland and Victoria left. Tara said she was scared of what Ashland would do next. Kyle thought Ashland was just lashing out and that he’d calm down and let the courts handle it. Tara said she was scared Ashland would come after her. He said they’d battle him together. She was grateful he was in her life. He vowed to keep their son safe, which included protecting her.

Tara couldn’t believe how easily Kyle calmed her nerves. It reminded her of NY. She knew it sounded strange because they’d been sneaking around, but it was easy compared to this. He remembered being careless and shady, they weren’t thinking about other people at all, just their next stolen moment together. She agreed, but she thought it was more than that. He noted that getting caught all these years later created a huge mess. She wondered if they should’ve ran away back then, like they’d always talked about. He wondered where they’d be now if they’d gone through with it. She was sure they would’ve landed in Paris. They’d be living on Avenue Montaigne with Harrison. She’d have grown her business, and he’d manage it. Harrison would be bilingual. They smiled about Harrison speaking French. Phyllis walked in and commented on them laughing and carrying on. She told them not to let her interrupt.

Ashland and Victoria went home. He admitted he let Tara and her lawyers get under his skin. He’d been feeling a little emotional these days. She said he didn’t have to apologize. He’d dealt with stress well all his life, but dealing with this all at once was starting to get to him. She said it was okay, they all knew he wasn’t 100%. A lesser man wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed. He thanked her for always knowing what to say. He was happy they found each other and that she was by his side. She felt the same way. He kissed her forehead, then they shared a kiss.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Hey, sweetheart! Are you and your team ready for some snacks?

Violet: Mm-hmm. We’re starving.

Finn: Yeah, a big-time game of T-ball will do that to you. Okay, here you go. Have at it.

Violet: These aren’t snacks, Daddy. They’re too healthy.

Finn: Well, I’m a doctor, remember? I believe in a healthy snack.

Violet: My team is going to hate me.

Finn: Oh. Well, we don’t want that.

Elizabeth: I hope it’s okay. I brought Aiden’s cupcakes for your team’s snack!

Violet: Thank you, Aunt Elizabeth!

Finn: Yes. Thank you, Aunt Elizabeth. You saved my life.

Hopkins: Why are you so interested in my sister? What the hell is this? Aah!

Valentin: Move, and I break your wrist.

Anna: Alright. I want you to tell me about the baby your sister helped kidnap and the father, Peter August.

[ Telephones ringing in distance ]

[ Jordan sighs ]

Laura: Jordan. How are Alexis and Shawn doing?

Jordan: And good evening to you, too, Mayor Collins. They’re both in the interrogation room making a few phone calls to loved ones.

Laura: You’ll need to cut that short.

Alexis: Yes, I’m absolutely sure.

Molly: But, Mom —

Alexis: Don’t “but, Mom” me. I mean it. And the same thing goes for — for Kristina and Sam. The three of you, there’s nothing that you can do at this juncture. And if anything changes, I’ll let you know.

TJ: Is my dad with her?

Alexis: Yeah — uh, yeah. Tell TJ that — that he’s right here, and — and I’m going to hand the phone over. But I want to say one more thing. You have fun tonight and — and don’t worry about me for a second, and I love you.

Molly: I love you, too.

Alexis: Okay, here.

Shawn: Hey, TJ, you there?

TJ: You’re going to tell me the same thing Alexis told Molly?

Shawn: You got that right. Look, you and Molly enjoy yourselves. If I get any updates on my situation, you’ll be the first to know.

TJ: It’ll be good news. I know it.

Shawn: [ Sighs ] I hope so. See you soon, son.

TJ: See you soon, Dad.

Shawn: Ah, TJ’s hopes are up so high. He’s gonna be devastated if I get sent back to Pentonville.

Alexis: I think it might be unavoidable. For both of us.

TJ: Should we take our parents’ advice and spend the evening having fun?

Molly: Well, that was our intent when we came here. And it does make sense. I mean, after tonight, I may never see you again. You’ll be so busy doing rotations at the hospital, Dr. Ashford.

TJ: And you will be studying for the bar exam, Counselor Lansing-Davis, while continuing to work for the D.A. So let’s eat, drink, and indulge in each other while we can.

Molly: Oh! Did you order Champagne?

TJ: I’m afraid that is not in my budget. You have the wrong table.

Waitress: The Champagne is from the gentleman at the bar.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Cam: Hey, do you need more sunscreen?

Josslyn: Oh. Yeah, actually. That’d be great. I can feel myself starting to roast.

Cam: Do you want me to…?

Josslyn: Please.

Spencer: Watch the hands, townie.

Josslyn: Spencer?

Spencer: Live and in person.

Josslyn: [ Chuckles ] Um, how are you? What made you decide to grace us with your presence? It’s been forever.

Spencer: I thought it would be forever until you two got together. How’d that happen?

Cam: Just lucky, I guess.

Josslyn: Mm.

Cam: So, how long you in town for?

Spencer: Oh, I’m back for good.

Anna: Well, I’m confused. I don’t know — I don’t understand. You just said that you were hired by Peter to take him off the roof at G.H.

Hopkins: That was the plan. But I couldn’t get the chopper close enough, so I had to abort.

Anna: If you didn’t airlift him out, how did he escape?

Hopkins: I have no idea. And I’m done. You have any more questions, talk to my lawyer. I don’t have to tell you or you squat.

Valentin: You’re not making your life any easier by walking out, chopper-head. In fact, you’re making your life a hell of a lot worse.

Anna: Because you have one shot to help yourself. Mr. Hopkins, are you listening? I need you to tell me what happened to Peter August.

Valentin: I think you agreed to work for Peter August ’cause your sister asked you to.

Anna: And the money was good. We know he wired you funds.

Valentin: So you can talk nice with us here, or we can charge you with obstruction of justice.

Anna: Have you fingerprinted. I don’t think the New York Methodist is going to be all that happy to have one of their medevac pilots arrested. Come on. Come on! What happened on the roof?

Hopkins: I couldn’t land. The hospital wouldn’t give me clearance.

Anna: So how did Peter escape?

Hopkins: All I know is that August told me he’d be alone on the hospital roof, but he wasn’t.

Violet: My cousin Aiden made cupcakes!

[ Children clamoring ]

Finn: You just made my daughter’s day.

Elizabeth: Oh, well, I’m happy to help. Aiden actually made them for his Little League team, so I set some aside, because I remember you saying that you’re responsible for the team snack.

Finn: Mm-hmm. And you figured I’d bring something like orange slices and carrot sticks.

Elizabeth: Mm, something like that.

[ Both laugh ]

Finn: Well, thank you for saving me from a week of my daughter not speaking to me. Too bad our other problem isn’t as easily solved.

Elizabeth: You can’t stop thinking about it, can you?

Finn: I’m funny that way when I… kill someone and hide them in the hospital freezer.

Elizabeth: Well, you didn’t do it alone, Finn.

Finn: I wish to god I had.

Cam: Well, last I heard, you were taking a gap year, touring the world.

Spencer: I didn’t realize you kept up with my activities.

Cam: Grandma gives me the updates.

Spencer: Mm.

Cam: And Aiden is all kinds of jealous. You know, with your studying in France, I’m sure he would love to study pastry cooking in Paris.

Spencer: [ Chuckles ] My school didn’t offer culinary courses. It was more focused on the traditional curriculum — languages, mathematics — and the extracurriculars, of course — riding, theater.

Cam: Oh, yeah. Grandma said you were the lead in every show.

Spencer: She exaggerates. I was the lead in most of them.

Cam: Mm.

Josslyn: Mm-hmm. So, Spencer, how’s your tennis game?

Spencer: Better than ever. Yours?

Josslyn: Oh, well, I focus more on volleyball now.

Spencer: Mm, such a waste.

Josslyn: Excuse me?

Spencer: Volleyball is a team sport. Wouldn’t you rather shine as an individual?

Josslyn: Mm, no, I’d rather play the sport I love.

Spencer: Mm. Well, if you ever want to get back into tennis, I’m more than happy to give you a tutorial. I won’t bother asking you, Cam. You swing a racket like a sledgehammer.

Cam: Oh, thank you.

Josslyn: [ Chuckles ] Wow. You have not changed.

Spencer: Did you want me to?

Josslyn: No. What I’d like for you to do is… cool off.

Spencer: Oh —

Cam: [ Laughs ]

Josslyn: [ Laughs ]

Spencer: Ah.

Cam: Well, Spencer’s still annoying.

Josslyn: Oh, I don’t even think he can help it.

Trina: Who’s this annoying Spencer you guys are talking about?

Josslyn: Oh.

Cam: He’s an old friend. “Friend” might be stretching it.

Josslyn: No, Spencer is most definitely a friend. I mean, we’ve known him since before you were even in Port Charles.

Trina: Mm, well, I can’t wait to meet him.

Josslyn: Well, you know what? I think this might just be the perfect opportunity for that. Trina Robinson, Spencer Cassadine.

Nikolas: I don’t want to interrupt your night out.

TJ: You ordered the champagne. It’s only fair you share it with us.

Molly: And congratulate TJ and me on our domestic partnership.

Nikolas: I’m really happy the two of you made things official.

Molly: Thank you. And not to be a downer, but I hear that you and Ava are dealing with a stalker. The PCPD keeps the D.A.’s office posted.

Nikolas: Oh, I’m glad they’re taking it seriously. Any news on your mom? I saw her a couple times early on, but I haven’t been able to visit lately, which is remiss on my part.

TJ: Guess he hasn’t heard.

Nikolas: Heard what? Well, please tell me you have good news.

Molly: Well, it — it wasn’t good for a while. In fact, it was torture for my mom. She was locked up in solitary.

Shawn: Jordan told me someone leaked to the press about the investigation into Judge Carson’s sentencing bias.

Alexis: Is that good or bad for us?

Shawn: I doubt it’ll make a difference in my case. I pled guilty to shooting Hayden Barnes. I’ll probably end up back in Pentonville.

Alexis: After everything Jordan’s done for you, why would you say that?

Shawn: Because I know how the system works — slowly, very slowly. The investigation into the judge could take years. And in the end, they could determine that Carson did nothing wrong.

Alexis: Carson’s the one that should be in Pentonville, not you.

Shawn: Well, thanks for the support. But I worry more about you.

Alexis: [ Sighs, clears throat ] I’ll be okay as long as they don’t put me back in solitary. Honestly, I-I can’t do that. That was humbling. I-I mean, I was not prepared for that. That’s a tiny cell and — and — and no —

[ Door opens ]

Alexis: What happened? Any news?

Spencer: Sorry I’m all wet, but my old pal Josslyn is still a prankster.

Trina: Mm.

Spencer: What was your name again? Tina?

Trina: Trina.

Josslyn: Oh, uh, Trina, you actually have a connection to Spencer. Trina works at Ava’s art gallery, and Spencer here is Ava’s stepson.

Spencer: Not for much longer. Ava and my father are splitting up. Soon he’ll just be my father, and Ava won’t be my anything.

Josslyn: Mm, Spencer hasn’t forgiven Ava for forcing his dad into marriage.

Trina: Mm.

Josslyn: Spencer has been in France at boarding school for the past — I don’t know how many years.

Trina: Boarding school? France? You’re just full of surprises. I bet you left a trail of broken hearts behind.

Josslyn: Oh, well, he hasn’t taken the time to fill us in on his love life. But, uh, don’t get any ideas about Trina, okay, because she is all about her mystery man.

Trina: Victor. But he’s never met Cam or Joss. And when he and I took a selfie on his phone, he never sent it to me to show them. I wonder why.

Cam: Joss and I are starting to believe that this Victor guy doesn’t even exist.

Trina: It’s no great loss. I thought Victor was cool. Turns out he’s a total jerk.

TJ: To my beautiful, intelligent, and courageous domestic partner, for exposing Judge Carson’s bias to the world.

Molly: Well, my mom deserves credit for researching the judge and her biased sentences. And Martin Grey got the recording of Judge Carson admitting that she sentences people of color more harshly than she does white people.

Nikolas: Your mom must be incredibly proud.

Molly: Yeah, well, proud of me and relieved to be out of Pentonville. TJ’s mom made an arrangement to transfer my mom to the PCPD lockup for the time being.

Nikolas: God. I wish I’d known about the tough time that Alexis was going through.

Molly: Hopefully the worst is over.

TJ: Now that Judge Carson’s biases have been leaked to the press, the Attorney General’s office is under pressure to start an investigation.

Nikolas: Is there a chance that Alexis could go free?

Alexis: When the two of you get all sphinx-like, I get nervous. Are Shawn and I going back to Pentonville?

Shawn: Is this about the media leak you mentioned?

Laura: Uh, let’s just say that the Attorney General has called me to let me know that she is going to make the investigation into Judge Carson her top priority.

Alexis: Great. Do you know who leaked the story so I can send them flowers?

Shawn: Oh, I’m sure they have no idea.

Jordan: Well, Judge Carson’s rulings are in public record, so the leak could have come from anyone.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Jordan: It’s the A.G.

Laura: I told her to call you from now on. So, um… the A.G. and the governor are both very nervous about the amount of press around Judge Carson.

Shawn: Well, that’s good for us, right?

Laura: Not necessarily. That’s why I wanted to talk to you first, before you talk to your kids, before you get anybody’s hopes up. It’s just that I know how politicians operate. They need to talk out every single issue, and sometimes, it takes months. Even years. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. But it is still a waiting game.

Anna: There was another person on the roof with Peter?

Hopkins: Yeah. I was supposed to take only August to Pautuck. This other person could have implicated me in August’s escape, so I was relieved when G.H. wouldn’t give me the clearance to land.

Anna: Can you describe this other person that was on the roof?

Elizabeth: Finn, you really need to hear me when I say I don’t regret in the least helping you hide Peter’s body.

Violet: Hi.

Finn: Oh, wow. Let me get that for you.

Elizabeth: Looks like Aiden’s cupcakes are popular!

Violet: Mm-hmm. My team voted that he should make them for all our games.

Elizabeth: Oh, well, you’ll have to ask him if he wants to.

Violet: Okay.

Finn: Hey, are you ready? It’s almost your turn to bat.

Violet: Um, can you show me one more time just in case?

Finn: Yeah, yeah. Come here. Let’s do this right here. We’re gonna do it just like we practiced, okay? See, you take the bat. We’ve got our feet — we got our feet kind of shoulder-width apart like that. Stay like that. Uh, grip up a little bit here. Alright, and then we keep the eye on the ball. We imagine the ball right in front of us, right? And who are we looking at? Are we looking at the other players?

Violet: No.

Finn: No. Are we looking at the coach?

Violet: No way. We’re looking at the ball.

Finn: That’s right. We’re keeping our eye on the ball. We’re looking at the ball all the way in. And when everything feels right in the universe, we’re gonna swing. We’re gonna swing nice and level with our eye on the ball, okay? Just like that. That is perfect, right? You ready?

Violet: Thank you, Daddy. I’m ready now.

Finn: Alright, sweetie. I love you. Go get a hit.

Elizabeth: I wish we could watch our kids’ games all summer long.

Finn: Me, too. Without having to worry about a body in a freezer.

Elizabeth: And no way to get him out without someone seeing us.

Spencer: I seem to be, uh, dripping. Trina, you want to come tell me a little bit about, uh, Ava’s gallery?

Trina: Sure, why not?

Spencer: Right. Excuse us.

Josslyn: Do you think that Spencer is interested in Trina?

Cam: Well, if he is, he’s got a tough hill to climb. She doesn’t seem interested at all.

Josslyn: Yeah, I know. You know, Trina seemed mad at Spencer, which is strange since they’ve never met. But, you know, then again, you don’t really need to know Spencer for very long for him to rub you the wrong way.

Cam: As long as you’re not interested in Spencer, I don’t really care what Trina thinks.

Josslyn: Jealous already? Don’t you know? You were always the guy I wanted the most when we were kids.

Spencer: Trina, I am so sorry about lying to you —

Trina: I’m not interested in your apology, Spencer. I just lied by omission to my best friends because of you. Why would you pretend to be some guy named Victor? And before you lie again, you should know I’m very perceptive. If I suspect you’re being anything less than truthful, I’ll tell Cam and Joss all about how we really met.

Molly: In a perfect world, yeah, Mom would go free.

Nikolas: But this isn’t a perfect world.

Molly: Well, in Mom’s case, her sentence makes sense for the crime that she pled guilty to. I mean, she nearly killed Dante.

TJ: Which she admitted to.

Molly: Yeah. I-I just hope that Mom doesn’t have to go back to Pentonville.

TJ: It sounds like Judge Carson has influence with the deputy warden who’s in a position to make things difficult for Alexis.

Molly: Well, technically speaking, Mom did have an altercation with a guard. But, I mean, you guys know my mom. She’s not a very physical person, so it couldn’t have been much.

TJ: Alexis still got sent to solitary, and not just for a few hours. She was there for three days.

Nikolas: If I can help in any way…

TJ: Well, the thing is, Alexis didn’t go after Judge Carson on her own behalf. She did it for my dad. She was trying to get him out of prison.

Nikolas: Is there — is there a chance that Shawn could be released?

Laura: The governor is going to wait until the investigation reaches a conclusion, and then he’ll take action.

Shawn: But what about Alexis? She shouldn’t have to go back to Pentonville. The deputy warden is definitely biased against her. There’s no other explanation for a three-day sentence in solitary for such a minor infraction.

Alexis: What did the Attorney General say?

Jordan: A lot. Said your sentence is suitable for your crime, meaning you won’t go free. However, you won’t be returning to Pentonville.

Laura: Thank goodness.

Shawn: Well, that’s good news.

Alexis: That depends. Where am I being sent?

Jordan: Spring Ridge.

Alexis: I know that place. That facility’s right outside of Port Charles, and I advocated for my clients to be sent there.

Jordan: Spring Ridge has a low prison population with nonviolent inmates.

Alexis: Lots of opportunity to volunteer there.

Shawn: The guys at Pentonville called it a spa with guards.

Laura: Congratulations, Alexis. You’ll be much more comfortable there.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Laura: Oh. Oh, my goodness. Speak of the devil. It’s the governor. Excuse me.

Shawn: You don’t look very happy.

Alexis: No —

Shawn: I guess a prison is still a prison.

Alexis: I’m — I’m happy, and I’m really grateful. What about you and what about the others like you that were unfairly sentenced by Carson? I actually committed the crime I’m being sentenced for. You didn’t. And I’m benefiting. It’s not fair.

Elizabeth: So, how do we get Peter out now that the Cameras in the stairwell are working?

Finn: Thought we might borrow a gurney and a… body bag from the morgue, get Peter out of the hospital, and dump him in a landfill. Hey, sweetie, you got this!

Elizabeth: Yes, go, Violet, go!

Finn: Alright? Keep your eye on the ball!

Elizabeth: At least in a landfill, his body will decompose quickly.

Finn: Listen to us talking about another human being like this. A human being who I killed.

Elizabeth: Yeah, who deserved to die. You did the world a favor by pushing Peter down the stairs. He can’t terrorize anyone else.

Finn: I’m not sure the authorities are gonna agree with you.

[ Bat hits ball ]

Finn: That’s it!

Elizabeth: Yes, Violet! Run!

Finn: That’s it! Go! First! Go to first! You got it!

Elizabeth: Run, Violet! Run, run!

Finn: You got it! Yes! Yes! Yes! Keep going!

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ]

Hopkins: I was distracted. I was attempting an unauthorized landing and was taking all kinds of heat for it.

Anna: Male, female? Height, build?

Hopkins: Male, tall.

Valentin: Was he dressed like a hospital employee?

Hopkins: He was dressed in street clothes.

Anna: Okay, what — jeans, t-shirt?

Hopkins: A suit, like… blue or gray. Uh… I thought he was one of you guys.

Anna: A detective? No. What else can you tell us?

Elizabeth: Yay! Good job!

Finn: Yeah! Good one!

Violet: I got the hit.

Finn: I saw. I was watching. Your hit was spectacular,

Violet: I did it just like you showed me.

Finn: Yeah, I know. You kept your bat level, and you kept your eye on the ball, and you ran so fast to first base.

Violet: The running was all me.

Finn: I know it was. But you know what? Game’s still going on. There’s no left fielder. Your teammates need you.

Violet: I’m glad you’re here, Daddy. I got the hit because of you.

Elizabeth: Aw, hey, what am I, chopped liver?

Violet: I’m glad you’re here, too, Aunt Elizabeth. This is my best game ever so far.

Finn: Ooh.

Violet: I love you.

Finn: Oh, I love you, too, sweetheart. I love you to the moon and back. Okay? You go get ’em, alright? Go get a hit.

Elizabeth: Good job, Dad.

Valentin: So, how old was this guy? What color was his hair?

Hopkins: His hair was dark. I’m not sure about his age.

Valentin: Dark. Was it long, short?

Hopkins: Long, ish.

Valentin: In a ponytail?

Hopkins: To his collar maybe.

Valentin: Anything else you could tell us, anything distinctive?

Hopkins: All I remember is that August was with a guy on the hospital roof. That’s it. Can I go home now? Oh, what is this?

Anna: You aided and abetted a murderer.

Hopkins: What are you talking about? I was contracted to fly a client. I didn’t even pick him up! I’ve done nothing!

Valentin: Peter August was implicated in a string of murders. We can prove that you’ve received money to help him escape. That’s a serious offense, certainly one that’s arrestable.

Anna: Okay, thanks, guys.

Hopkins: This is crazy! You got no proof! ‘Cause I did nothing!

Valentin: Do we believe him?

Anna: What, about the other person on the roof? I don’t know why he would make something like that up.

Valentin: I agree with you. But if Peter has another ally aside from the helicopter pilot and the nurse, that’s someone we know nothing about.

Cam: Something to cool us down?

Josslyn: Thank you. Huh. You know, Spencer and Trina seem to have a lot to talk about.

Cam: Yeah, well, Spencer has a lot to talk about with anybody.

Josslyn: Hmm.

Cam: And the only person I want to talk to is you.

Spencer: I honestly didn’t mean to mislead you.

Trina: You have no right to use the word “honestly” in a sentence. And who the hell is Victor anyway?

Spencer: My great uncle.

Trina: And why would you pretend not to know my best friends? And my boss? Why would you pretend not to know Ava?

Spencer: It’s complicated.

Trina: Is this the start of another stall? Don’t bother. Cam and Joss are right over there.

Spencer: Okay. Okay. I lied because I didn’t want my father to know I was back in Port Charles.

Trina: Why not?

Spencer: For three years, he let me believe he was dead. When he resurfaced, I didn’t take it well. And when he married Ava, I didn’t take that well, either.

Trina: Why did you even bother coming back?

Spencer: Because Dad is divorcing Ava. I wanted to show my support, but I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about me, so I laid low for a while.

Trina: He knows you’re back now?

Spencer: And he’s really happy I’m home. If he knew that I waited a few days before seeing him, it could destroy all of the progress that we’ve made towards fixing our relationship.

Molly: Shawn only pled guilty because he thought he shot Hayden Barnes. But he didn’t. Hayden was shot by someone else. No one knows who. Shawn was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time.

TJ: Diane miller plans to assemble a legal team to have Hayden Barnes’ shooting reopened and prove my dad wasn’t responsible. But my dad keeps telling me it’s going to take time. A lot of time. So we shouldn’t get our hopes up.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Molly: Or maybe we should.

Alexis: Thank you for letting me text Molly the news.

Jordan: Yeah.

Shawn: You just made her night out with TJ even sweeter.

Jordan: Well, let’s hope the next text is to TJ from Shawn.

Shawn: That won’t be for a while.

Laura: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Jordan: The governor?

Laura: Yes. The national press picked up the story about Judge Carson and her biased sentencing.

Alexis: I’m sure the governor was thrilled about that.

Laura: That’s why he was calling me. He told me he was going to make Shawn’s case his priority.

Alexis: Uh, w-what does that mean? A priority in politics, is that five years instead of five days.

Laura: Let me finish.

Shawn: Remember what I said about patience.

Jordan: Oh, I’m with Alexis. What did the governor say about Shawn?

Anna: What makes you think that this person on the roof with Peter is an ally?

Valentin: Okay, that’s interesting. Well, the hospital was searched from top to bottom. Everybody that was there the day that Peter escaped has been interviewed, so if this man isn’t an ally, why hasn’t he come forward?

Anna: Okay. So who is this person?

Valentin: I don’t know. Could be anybody. Could be affiliated with the hospital. Maybe not. But this man did meet Peter on the roof. Peter is Faison’s son. He has access to any number of support personnel. Could be a courier. Or maybe he was the one facilitating Peter’s escape.

Anna: Then why bother with Hopkins?

Finn: That’s it, Violet. Keep your eye on the batter. That’s it, sweetheart.

[ Bat hits ball ]

Finn: The thought that someone could have seen what happened with Peter keeps me up at night.

Elizabeth: If someone had seen you, they would have come forward by now. Yes, Violet, you got this!

Finn: You know, Anna could find a witness that the police missed. And if Peter’s body is discovered and traced back to me… it’d be devastating to Violet. I’ve — I’ve tried really hard to provide her with a sense of security and stability. Her mom’s been off the radar for a year and a half now.

Elizabeth: I still can’t believe that Hayden would voluntarily abandon Violet for so long. Finn… if something were to happen, if — if you were to get arrested, I want you to know that the boys and I would take care of Violet.

Finn: Thank you. Thank you. But what if someone saw you helping me hide Peter’s body?

Elizabeth: If they did, then why haven’t they said something? We just have to have faith that we’re in the clear. We can continue on with our lives and not let Peter take that away from us.

Laura: I saved the best for last. The governor has decided to commute your sentence to time served.

Shawn: Okay. W-what’s the catch? Uh, how long will the paperwork take?

Jordan: I mean, it can take weeks, sometimes months.

Laura: But in this case, the paperwork has already been handled. So effective immediately, you’re a free man!

Alexis: Oh. Oh! Oh! Gosh!

Shawn: [ Laughter ]

TJ: Congratulations, Mols.

Nikolas: I think we should order another bottle of Champagne to celebrate Alexis’ move out from Pentonville.

Molly: Well, I’m only sorry that her text didn’t include any news about your dad.

TJ: My dad should have never been denied parole when it came up a few months ago. They said he was a model prisoner.

Molly: TJ and I were convinced that Shawn would be out in time to see TJ graduate from med school.

Spencer: Is there any chance that you can forgive me for lying to you?

Trina: For a while, I wasn’t talking to my dad. And when I finally did, it felt really good.

Spencer: So you understand why I didn’t tell him that I was back in Port Charles at first?

Trina: I get the anger. But do you really work at the Savoy?

Spencer: Um… no.

Trina: Then why were you there the night of my graduation party?

Spencer: I was thinking of telling Cam and Joss that I was back in town. But then when you came in all bloody and stuff, I realized that the timing wasn’t right.

Trina: Why did you pretend not to know Ava?

Spencer: Ava couldn’t know about my return, either. She would’ve told my dad.

Trina: And your mom?

Spencer: I would never lie about her. Ask Cam and Joss. Better yet, look her up online. Courtney Matthews. She died the day I was born.

Trina: I’m sorry. I just don’t know what to believe about you anymore.

Spencer: I get it. I do. And I’m really sorry. And if you want to tell Ava and Cam and Joss that I pretended to be some guy named Victor, I’ll understand.

Trina: But you don’t want me to, do you? You want me to trust you.

Josslyn: Okay, what’s going on? You two have been in intense conversation forever.

Jordan: Hey. Mm.

Shawn: Thank you. I know you did a lot to convince the governor to commute my sentence, but what about all the other inmates of color Carson handed unfair sentences to?

Laura: Don’t worry, the governor is going to speed up the process of reviewing all of the sentencing. Uh, it’s going to be a long road. But I’m very glad it began with you.

Alexis: You are amazing. Did you promise the governor your firstborn son?

Laura: [ Chuckles ] No, I merely pointed out that his poll numbers might slip if he didn’t correct this horrible injustice. He is coming up for election.

Jordan: Mm. Finally, a politically savvy move that also achieves justice.

Alexis: You deserve this. You have been a model prisoner. You — you’ve been a rock star with the other inmates. And god knows you saved my life and my sanity.

Shawn: And you saved mine. Now I need to call TJ.

Jordan: Wait, wait, wait. I have a better idea.

Trina: Spencer and I were just talking about…art. He’s really interested in my job at Ava’s gallery.

Cam: Mm. I could see the movie title now — “Spencer Cassadine, Man of the World.”

Spencer: And I can see yours — sorry. What are your interests, besides Josslyn?

Cam: Mm, that’s — that’s funny. Mm. On that note, I think I’m going to head out. Can’t be late for work.

Josslyn: Yeah, I have a P.T. appointment. I have to work on my ankle. Um, can I give you a ride?

Trina: Thanks, but I think I’ll stick around.

Cam: Mm, have more to talk to Spencer about art?

Josslyn: Uh, call me later.

Cam: Welcome back. It’s good to see you.

Spencer: Thanks for keeping my secret.

Trina: I’m just glad you and your dad are talking again. But so we’re clear, lie to me again, and I’m out, and so’s your secret.

TJ: I suppose if there were good news about my dad, I would have heard by now.

Molly: I’m sorry.

Nikolas: So am I. I have some calls to make, so I’m going to say goodbye. Enjoy your night out.

Molly: Well, thank you for the champagne and the good wishes.

Nikolas: Least I can do.

TJ: I don’t believe it. What?

TJ: You’re out.

Shawn: A free man.

[ Both laugh ]

Shawn: It’s good to see you. Good to see you.

TJ: [ Laughs ]

Alexis: Mmm. Compared to the swill they serve in Pentonville, you have — have no idea. This tastes like the perfect café au lait from a sidewalk cafe in Paris.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry things have been so hard on you.

Alexis: Oh, Laura, you have no idea.

Laura: Mm.

Alexis: I cannot thank you enough for intervening in Shawn’s case.

Laura: Oh, please. It was you and Molly and — and Martin did all the heavy lifting.

Alexis: And Nikola– Nikolas gets credit for an assist, because he saved me from Cyrus Renault’s people. And I don’t even know how to thank him.

Laura: Mm. Well, his methods were dubious, but it was for a worthy cause.

Alexis: You have to admit, Nikolas has really redeemed himself.

Laura: [ Sighs ] It’s a huge relief to be able to recognize my own son again. I only wish that he and Ava didn’t have to deal with this stalker in their life. But anyway, you’re right. You’re right. My son has turned into the good man that I always knew he was.

Nikolas: Congratulations on the release, Shawn. Well-deserved.

Shawn: Thank you. Yeah, freedom feels good.

Jordan: Well, what’s the first thing you’re going to do to celebrate?

TJ: Champagne?

Molly: Ooh, the Metro Court’s filet mignon?

Shawn: I wouldn’t say no to either, but my focus will be to repay my debt to Hayden Barnes. Someone tried to kill her, and they came damn close. I’m going to find out who.

Finn: Hey!

Violet: I caught the ball!

Finn: I saw! You won the game for your team! I’m so proud of you.

Elizabeth: Your cousins will be so impressed.

Violet: Can I go celebrate with my team and coach?

Finn: Of course, sweetheart. I’m gonna be right here. Okay? That’s the most important thing in the world to me. I owe her love and security. I owe her everything. And for her sake, I’m going to keep going. It’s not fair to ask you to —

Elizabeth: Finn, I’m not going anywhere. We’ll deal with this together.

Anna: If Peter had someone waiting to transport him, why would he book a helicopter to fly him out of there?

Valentin: Diversion? Contingency plan?

Anna: No, no, no, no, ’cause why would he go to the roof if he wasn’t going to board the helicopter?

Valentin: Well, Peter’s walls were coming in. He’d killed Franco. He’d arranged for Maxie’s abduction, his child to disappear. He needed to get out of G.H. He needed to disappear himself. But if Peter’s helicopter couldn’t land, then that just leaves our mystery man on the roof.

Anna: Yeah, you’re right. No, that person’s very important. But there’s something that we’re — we’re — we’re not seeing clearly. You know? Something doesn’t add up.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Chase (to Willow): I can’t be your husband.

Britt: It’s so good to see you!

Nikolas (to Jordan): Can you be more specific?

Terry (to Portia): The only place to be is at the Savoy.

Ava (to Trina): How’s the new guy?

Curtis (to Johnny): You gotta say what you want even if you might lose what you have.

Sasha (to Michael): I’m just not sure I want him to be.

Stella (to Shawn): Get out of my way.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sutton: This is sutton.

Victor: Hey, sutton. Have you had a chance to review my proposal?

Sutton: Well, I have been wondering whether or not you can be trusted.

Victor: This is a straightforward deal — quid pro quo, alright? I give you amanda’s letter from her father, the content of which could lead to your downfall.

Sutton: And in return?

Victor: In return, you do me a favor one day without fail. The clock is ticking.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Adam: Talking to anyone interesting?

Victor: Uh, no, just talked to an old friend.

Adam: I wanted to brainstorm some ideas about newman media’s marketing strategy, if you have time.

Victor: Would you mind if we did that another day? I just have too many things on my mind right now, okay?

Nikki: Everything alright?

Adam: [ Sighs ] He, um — he seems preoccupied. You have any idea what’s going on?

Nikki: No, I don’T. Have you heard from chelsea?

Adam: Yeah, I got an update from her a little while ago. Anita is on the mend — slowly.

Nikki: I suppose the better question is, how is connor?

Adam: He’s happy to be having all this time alone with his mother. He’s a little curious why rey is tagging along, but I told him, since I couldn’t be there, I was sending somebody I trusted.

Nikki: Not far from the truth.

Adam: Yeah. I’m actually glad rey is there. It’s probably safer for everyone.

Nikki: My thoughts exactly.

Adam: You know, you don’t have to do this whole nice conversation thing every time we run into each other. I know what you think of me.

Nikki: I might surprise you.

Devon: Hey, why don’t you try and sit down?

Amanda: No, I can’T.

Devon: Will you do it for me at least? ‘Cause you’ve said yourself, these things take time.

Amanda: For you.

Devon: Thanks.

Amanda: I just… victor should’ve met with sutton by now. I need an update. I need something. How can you be so calm?

Devon: Because I know victor newman, and I know if he says he’s gonna do something, he’s gonna do it. Just have to be patient.

Amanda: No, I can’T. I can’t wait any longer, okay? I just — I need something. I need to — I need to figure out what is happening right now. I —

Devon: Just —

[ Knock on door ]

Imani: We’ve got a problem.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Abby: I just got a text from mariah.

Tessa: She texted — mariah.

Sharon: I just got a text from her, also.

Abby: We should compare the messages that she sent us.

Sharon: Yeah, maybe we can figure out what’s going on. (Vo) imagine a visibly healthier pet in 28 days.

Abby: Mariah’s text to me says, “I was feeling overwhelmed with everyone’s constant concern about my health.”

Tessa: Okay, her text to me says, “extending my exploratory business trip. Just needed a break.”

Sharon: Well, her message to me says, “I had to get away from feeling smothered. I’m sorry for keeping everyone guessing.”

Abby: Okay, well, at least the lines of communication are open and she’s being honest. That’s good.

Tessa: Yeah, and she says that she just needs space. “Love, mariah.”

Abby: Well, there’s more to the message that she sent me. She says that she promises that she’ll be back before our next doctor’s appointment, that she’s doing fine and she’s taking good care of herself and the baby. And she said, “your child isn’t giving me too much grief yet.”

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: Well, that’s a relief.

Abby: I feel so bad that she felt so suffocated that she felt like she had to leave town. When she comes back, that can’t happen again.

Tessa: Yeah, absolutely.

Sharon: 100%.

Nikki: Now that you’re living on the property, little honesty can’t hurt.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Are you sure about that?

Nikki: You and I have a difficult history.

Adam: Well, if we’re gonna be honest, uh, let’s not mince words. We haven’t liked each other very much. Actually, at all.

Nikki: That’s accurate. But the way you have been trying to improve has not gone unnoticed.

Adam: I’m just trying to do the right thing.

Nikki: Well, my first instinct was to keep a very close eye on you, just in case.

Adam: What, just in case it was all an act?

Nikki: Wouldn’t be the first time. But apparently, I was wrong about you.

Adam: It takes a lot to admit that.

Nikki: Your desire to improve yourself seems sincere, and i know how difficult it is to change. Trust me. I respect the effort you’re making.

Adam: I’m just trying every day to be a better man, a loving father, dedicated son. But a lot of this is uncharted territory for me. Sometimes I wish that I had a road map.

Nikki: Well, you have an entire family invested in your success. If you should happen to get lost, there will always be somebody there to put you back on the right path.

Adam: Well, that is very good to know.

Nikki: I am rooting for you.

Adam: Thank you, nikki. That means a lot.

Nikki: But know this — if you ever start to backslide or you put any one of us in danger, you will go right back to being enemy number one.

Adam: I learned a long time ago to never underestimate you.

Nikki: Good. Keep it that way.

Amanda: Slow down, okay? Just tell me what the problem is.

Imani: I dropped by mom’s room before I came over here, and I knocked repeatedly. There was no response. She’s gone.

Amanda: Okay, imani, it’s not like she disappeared.

Devon: I’m sure she’s fine.

Imani: Well, I looked everywhere I could think of, i called her, texted her a dozen times. No response.

Devon: Why would she leave after agreeing to let amanda represent her?

Imani: [ Sighs ] Maybe that was just her way of getting out on bail, dropping out of sight. I spoke to someone at the hotel security, the woman at the front desk — no one can remember seeing her coming or going all day.

Amanda: Okay, that’s odd, but it is explainable. Just because no one has seen her at the hotel, it doesn’t mean that she’s left genoa city. She could have went on a really long walk, and that is hardly a bail violation. But don’t worry, we will look into this.

Devon: Well, I’ll get out of your hair and let you guys figure it out. I’m just a call away.

Amanda: Thank you.

Devon: Of course.

Amanda: Naya really picked the worst time to mia. I was just waiting to hear back from victor newman about his conversation with sutton. [ Sighs ] Well, that’s gonna have to wait because we can’t get an acquittal without a defendant.

Imani: Mm-hmm. So how do you propose we track down mom?

Amanda: First step, we get into naya’s room.

Imani: I just told you, she’s not there, which means we won’t be able to get inside.

Amanda: Well, the first thing that I learned when I realized that I need to make my own way in this world — don’t let little things get in your way.

Sharon: Good night.

Adam: Am I too late? Are you closed?

Sharon: Well, I never turn away someone in need of a good cup of coffee. You want the usual?

Adam: Yeah. Thank you.

Sharon: Um… [ Clears throat ] Maybe this is none of my business, but how are connor and chelsea doing?

Adam: It is definitely your business, since you’re the one that convinced me to let chelsea take him to minnesota in the first place. Not to mention…

Sharon: Rey being drafted into going along to make sure everything goes according to plan.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And it is. So far. At least that’s what I’ve heard from chelsea and connor. Does rey agree?

Sharon: Well, I have talked to him since he left, but he never really says that much about his work.

Adam: Of course.

Sharon: You know, I really hope that you won’t end up regretting taking my advice, letting connor go be with his mom.

Adam: Well, I had to work hard to sell victor on the idea.

Sharon: Can’t imagine that negotiation.

Adam: Mm. He wasn’t entirely wrong about the risks. There still is a chance that all of us is gonna become a problem down the road.

Sharon: In what way?

Adam: What if chelsea wants to live near anita? Or anywhere else, for that matter? Then she’s gonna push to have connor live with her permanently.

Sharon: What would you do if that happened?

Adam: I want my son to be with me, period. I should be his custodial parent. That is what’s best for him.

Sharon: Even if chelsea does get a clean bill of health.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Wait, is there more to this? Hey, I don’t want to push, but you know that we can talk about anything. You know that.

Adam: [ Sighs ] There — there’s a lot that you don’t know about all this.

Victor: Hi, my baby.

Nikki: Hey. If you’re looking for adam, he’s gone.

Victor: Well, just as well. I have a lot of things to deal with.

Nikki: Oh, yeah?

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: What is going on in that brilliant mind of yours? You’ve been distracted ever since you got home.

Victor: Yeah. Oh, by the way, we’re leaving for italy tomorrow.

Nikki: I know. I’m counting the hours.

Victor: Well, then, as time is ticking away, I still have a lot things to do before we leave.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad that congratulating victoria was on that list. I saw the flowers you sent. They’re beautiful.

Victor: Oh, that. Yeah. Well, you know, actually, you deserve that bouquet of flowers. I mean, you reminded me that i was not at my best when it came to that merger. I should’ve congratulated her because she pulled off quite a coup.

Nikki: Well, that’s very magnanimous of you. Of course…

Victor: What? What did I do wrong?

Nikki: Well, I was just gonna say that it would be an even more magnanimous gesture if you were to congratulate her in person. Maybe you can put that on your pre-flight to-do list.

Victor: Well, you mean what I did wasn’t good enough?

Nikki: I’m just keeping you honest, darling.

Victor: No one dose it better, you know.

Imani: When you said you don’t let the little things get in your way, I — I thought you were going to…

Amanda: Pick the lock?

Imani: [ Sighs ] Well, the important thing is you were able to get security to open up her door.

Amanda: I just don’t know why naya’s suite was emptied out. Why would an innocent woman pack her bags and skip bail?

Imani: Easier than telling her well-meaning daughters no. She told us how she wanted her defense structured.

Amanda: Yeah, and we agreed to her terms. We said that we would not implicate sutton to save her.

Imani: We said that, but either she didn’t trust us from the beginning, or she figured out we were going after sutton anyway. Based on the last conversation i had with mom, it didn’t seem like she knew anything about that. [ Sighs ]

Amanda: There’s another possibility. [ Knock on door ] Sutton.

Sutton: Something’s happened to naya. I haven’t been able to find her.

Imani: We already know. We checked her suite. She’s disappeared.

Amanda: And there’s no good explanation that we can think of. Unless you’re the one who told her to run. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Abby: I am so glad that mariah reached out. I feel like I can finally breathe.

Tessa: Okay, there’s just one thing I need to say.

Abby: No, not until I clear the air.

Tessa: No, I’ll go first.

Abby: No, you have to hear this first.

Tessa: But after what I say, you might not want to say anything.

Abby: I’m sorry.

Tessa: I’ve just been so tightly wound up.

Abby: Me too.

Tessa: The tension between us is all my fault.

Abby: No, no, it was totally my fault.

Tessa: Let’s not argue about why we’re arguing.

Abby: You’re right. Forgiven?

Tessa: Forgotten. I mean, it never should have happened in the first place.

Abby: I’m so sorry that i snapped at you. Just all this uncertainty with mariah, it really got to me.

Tessa: Me too. But at least it’s over.

Abby: And mariah’s fine.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] I’m just so glad that it’s not what I was afraid of, that some lowlife from my past came to put mariah in jeopardy.

Abby: Well, it’s just crazy how your mind can fill in all of the blanks when you don’t know the full story. Even though our fears were implausible, they felt real.

Tessa: Just I’m the person who knows mariah the best. [ Sighs ] I just — I don’t know, I figured that the mood swings were from the pregnancy, but it was a reaction to me.

Abby: And me.

Tessa: Lesson learned.

Abby: We have to do better.

Tessa: And we will.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Sutton: If I knew where naya was, you think I’d be coming to you for help?

Imani: Is that why you came here?

Sutton: Not everything I do has a sinister motive. You used to know that, imani.

Amanda: Yeah, you’re only up to something 90% of the time. So coming here, acting worried, like you need our assistance, that’s exactly what you would do if you were behind naya’s disappearance.

Sutton: What have I done to deserve this suspicion?

Amanda: Besides arranging my father’s murder?

Imani: Amanda, not now, please.

Sutton: What good does this nonsense do us? I thought we were past that.

Amanda: Oh, we were never past it, and you know it. It just went unsaid because we both had an agenda that we were keeping close to the vest. Well, now I think that it’s time that we stop pretending. So I want you to know — I’m gonna prove that you are guilty of my father’s murder, not naya. And after everything that you did today, I’m gonna make sure that you pay for it. So now, you can tell me, where is my mother?

Sutton: I already told you, i don’t know. And we have to work together to find her.

Amanda: No, you better worry about your damn self.

Sutton: [ Chuckles ] Is that a threat against me?

Amanda: I will find my mother. I will handle this the way that I have done everything my entire life — alone. Now, you took my sister from me. You deprived me of my father, and I will be damned if you take my mother from me, too. So you better get the hell out of here. Okay, listen to me right now, we need to focus.

Sharon: Chelsea faked her breakdown?

Adam: To a degree. She wasn’t well. I mean, no one who did what she did to rey could be. But she was convinced that I had betrayed her, and her mind took her to some very dark places.

Sharon: This is shocking.

Adam: I know.

Sharon: And dr. Hedges was involved? He has a good reputation. How could he be in the middle of this scheme?

Adam: Money. Money talks. And I’m sure that you’re wondering how I could just sit back and go along with victor’s plan.

Sharon: Yeah, that is surprising that you agreed, given that her whole objective was to frame you.

Adam: Well, I had no idea what my father had done. I was on the run. And then, when I came back to town…

Sharon: You were in the hospital…

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: …Donating your kidney.

Adam: When I learned the truth, I kept my mouth shut because I don’t want connor’s mother to go to prison. I thought going in the mental facility would help her heal. And her confession did clear me.

Sharon: Well, now that you explain it, I understand.

Adam: Plus, I blame myself for so much of what’s happened. Chelsea was the one that had a devastating reaction, but I am the one that gave her something to react to. A lie about her mental state to get her to the hospital is just the beginning of chelsea’s crimes, but, uh…

Sharon: But what?

Adam: I try not to dwell on this, especially with chelsea out of town with our son, but… I don’t know, when push comes to shove, chelsea always reverts to form.

Sharon: But some people might say the same about you.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s very common to have

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Adam: You are right. Most people will figure any change that I’m trying to make for myself will be temporary or that it’s all just a show to begin with. I actually just had a conversation with nikki about that very thing.

Sharon: I assume she thinks the worst of you.

Adam: Actually, she is giving me the benefit of the doubt for now. I hope that you will have just as much faith that I can pull this off.

Sharon: You really have to ask?

Adam: There is a certain satisfaction that comes from just putting in the work, trying to be a decent person instead of reveling in being the bad guy. You know, every day is a new challenge. But I like it.

Sharon: You’re taking stock in yourself.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: That’s good.

Adam: Yeah, when I think about all the time and energy i invested in creating conflict, not to mention the weight of all the hate and anger…it’s exhausting. Just wish I had come to this realization a long time ago.

Sharon: Well, you know, you can’t always force change. I think the trick is you just stay open-minded about it.

Adam: Hmm. Makes me think about how sure chelsea was that I was going to steal connor away from her. How primed she was to expect the worst from me. But maybe your suggestion that i let connor go with her will pay unintended dividends.

Sharon: Well, I think it could be important that chelsea sees that you trust her. It could help her heal.

Adam: Maybe she’ll see me in a different light, too.

Sharon: Since when has it been important to you what other people think?

Adam: It has always been important to me what you think of me. You know that.

Sharon: Worry about the rest of the world, right? We’re fine.

Adam: Mostly. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss you.

Sharon: It’s probably just, uh, your loneliness talking because your relationship with chelsea is irretrievably over and connor’s out of town.

Adam: It’s deeper than that, sharon. You know that. And that will never change.

Sharon: I know. Faith’s waiting for me at home. I have to get going.

Adam: Well, it’s perfect timing. Finished my coffee. Thank you for staying open.

Sharon: Of course.

Adam: Good night.

Sharon: Good night.

Abby: There is more than enough blame to go around, so i am not gonna let you hog it all, even though you and mariah are a couple and you’re very in tune with each other.

Tessa: Which is why i should’ve known that something was wrong.

Abby: No, I have made so many mistakes. Number one, I mean, I feel like I know mariah pretty well, and i had no idea that she was having such a hard time. I mean, think about it. I mean, I was micro-managing every single thing that went into her mouth. I was worrying every time she left the house. It was too much.

Tessa: Oh, this is so much better. Competing who can take on more blame instead of blame each other for mariah running away.

Abby: So much better. You know, when mariah comes back, I am not gonna get an account of every single moment of her day.

Tessa: Yeah, and mariah can make her own herbal tea, which i will probably still bring to her, of course.

Abby: Of course.

Tessa: But I’m putting my foot down — she can make it herself.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Victor: Please have a seat.

Sutton: Thank you. I don’t have much time. I just came from an angry encounter with my granddaughters.

Victor: Oh, boy, I know what that is about. Being at odds with one’s family is not nice, is it?

Sutton: It’s brought me to a new level of clarity.

Victor: Ah.

Sutton: Yeah, I know what to do now.

Victor: Really? What’s that?

Sutton: Well, you give me that letter from richard, and when the day comes that you need this favor repaid, it will be.

Victor: About that letter, sutton.

Sutton: Hmm?

Victor: Not gonna give it to you.

Sutton: This whole deal was your idea.

Victor: Yeah, I know. But I thought about it, you know? I realized that amanda would have far better use for it than you do.

Sutton: What kind of game are you playing?

Victor: Ain’t playing a game.

Sutton: You said you had no allegiance to amanda.

Victor: Nothing to do with her. It has everything to do with not wanting to help you. Now, you and I, sutton, have played on the edges of legality for a while, you know? But this is different. I mean, you committed a crime. You betrayed your family. And that I have no tolerance for. Don’t settle for products that give you a sort of white smile.

Devon: I mean, the way I see it, this is all good news, ’cause mariah’s taking care of herself and the baby, and she’s checked in, like the responsible adult that she is. And the tension between the two of you seems to be gone.

Tessa: Yes, that’s true. We’re in a good place again.

Abby: Yes, and more importantly, tessa and I were just discussing how we want to rethink things for when mariah comes home.

Tessa: Which she said would be in time for her next doctor’s appointment.

Devon: Good, good. Is something wrong, tessa?

Tessa: I don’t want to rain on any parades, but look, [Sighs] I’ve said it before. She could’ve called. All of us. Or just one of us, because she knew that we would worry, but she only reaches out through text?

Abby: Maybe it’s because she’s that if she hears one of our voices, she’ll be tempted to come home before she’s ready.

Tessa: I guess.

Abby: You know what? I don’t know about you guys, but when mariah returns, I don’t want her to feel a bit of pressure. All I want her to feel are little, tiny baby kicks from inside from a baby who’s eager to meet all of us.

Devon: Amen.

Victor: Sutton, you’re the head of your family. There’s no greater responsibility. You were given the gift of two beautiful twin granddaughters. You didn’t protect them. Didn’t do a damn thing for them. You turned your back on them. Why? To protect your own rear end.

Sutton: I did what I had to do.

Victor: That’s what all politicians say.

Sutton: You are no better than me. I’ve heard all the stories about your awful relationships with your own children.

Victor: You haven’t heard all of them. There were many. And I have made mistakes. I admit to it. But one dictum, one mantra I’ve always lived by — I never turn my back on my family. I never leave them to their own devices. That’s why I’ve created this new company with my son adam. The guy that a lot of people had given up for a lost cause. That’s why I appointed my daughter victoria to run newman enterprises, a company that I created. You turned your back on your family out of selfishness. Now you’re paying for that.

Sutton: You’ve always had your billions of dollars to buy your way out of your problems. I don’t have that luxury. I had to remain untouchable. My power base has to be secure. That’s the only way I can ensure my family comes first.

Victor: And richard nealon, amanda’s father, got in the way of that?

Sutton: Uh-huh. Yeah, richard… he was trouble. Naya deserved so much more. He wasn’t like us. It’s a miracle that somebody with his background even made it to college. And my pride and joy had to go and get herself pregnant with that… well, if that meant that two accidents of birth had to be sacrificed, then, by god, so be it. [ Stammers ] It was for the greater good.

Victor: Oh, yeah.

Sutton: I can live with what I’ve done. Richard was a nobody. He was a gnat. And he could’ve brought down everything I’d worked for. Well, that was a risk I was not willing to take. Now give me the damn letter.

Victor: What letter is that, sutton? [ Door opens ]

Imani: I’d like to hear that answer, too, grandfather. What letter? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Devon: Alright. Well, now that I know everything is cool with mariah and that you’re feeling better about everything, I should probably go and check on amanda, ’cause she’s been having a tough time tonight.

Tessa: Oh, I hope everything’s okay.

Devon: Oh, thank you. If it’s not, I know she’ll make it right, so…

Abby: Hey, devon, um, before you go, I — I just wanted to thank you for talking me down earlier, reminding me of what chance would say in a stressful situation. It really helped.

Devon: I’m glad it did. You have a really good guy who loves you, puts you first and foremost, so hang on to him.

Abby: I will. I’m very lucky to have you remind me of that.

Sutton: I don’t know how much you heard —

Amanda: We heard more than enough.

Sutton: Well, I’ll deny it. Every word — it was all said in the heat of the moment.

Amanda: Well, we recorded every word. So you can deny it all you want, but this is exactly what I need to save my mother and to prove that you are the one who had my father killed. Victor knew exactly what to say to keep you talking. Oh, and by the way? There is no letter. There never was.

Sutton: These charges will never stick.

Amanda: We’ll see.

Sutton: Amanda, just tell me what you want.

Amanda: I want my father back, you son of a bitch.

Sharon: I don’t need any saving. I didn’t come here to cry on your shoulder.

Adam: You can, sharon. Okay? You can be or feel anything you want with me.

Sharon: You know, you’ve convinced yourself that you’re damaged somehow and you’re flawed and beyond saving, but, you know, that’s not true. Yeah, you’re in a dark place right now, but I can see the path — light and hope — and I just — I want to help you find that. I want to.

Adam: You know that i would — I would do anything to take this all away.

Sharon: I can’t imagine what my life would be like right now if you hadn’t rescued her. I know I — know I-I couldn’t survive the loss of another child.

Adam: Well, I’m just glad i was in the right place at the right time. Anyone would have done the same thing.

Sharon: But I know that you put your freedom at risk in order to do it. So, no…not just anyone would have made that choice. I’ll never forget what you were willing to sacrifice for faith and me.

Adam: When I was trapped with nick, I’ve realized that you are a part of me, sharon. And you always will be. There’s no denying it. I told myself that I was leaving to protect you, to protect everyone, but… no matter how fast or far away i run, you will always be right there with me. The fact that I’m standing here right now is just further proof of that.

Sharon: No, you’re here for faith, nothing more.

Adam: Sharon… just hear me out, okay? Before nick found me, I had a lot of time alone. He only knew where to find me because of you and your insight… into me. You’ve always understood how my mind works. I mean, even when I had forgotten who I was, and I was living in vegas. And after I learned what I had done to A.J. Montalvo as a kid, you see me, sharon. You see me in a way no one’s been able to do… not even chelsea. And I don’t expect anything to ever come of it, because I know nothing can come of it.

Sharon: You say all these beautiful words, these… seductive and tempting words, but…here is the truth, adam. I can’t be that for you. I can’t — I can’t be that for you. You — you have got to accept that you and I are not going to get back together.

Adam: Because of rey? I mean, can you honestly compare your feelings for him to what you and I shared?

Sharon: No, I cannot because I’ll never love him the way that I loved you.

Adam: So let’s not waste any more time.

Sharon: But that doesn’t mean that my love for rey isn’t strong. He — he supports me. He builds me up. He gives me strength. Whereas, with you… things are just complicated. You have to get better for the sake of your family!

Adam: No. No. What I need is to get out of genoa city with my family. That is what’s gonna make me heal, okay? Or call the judge, okay? Call the judge. Tell him you’ve made a mistake. Tell him that you saw me, you’ve spent time with me, and you’ve realized that you made a mistake, okay? If I ever meant anything to you, sharon, fix this. Okay? Save me.

Sharon: I can’T. You know that. You know that.

Adam: Okay? I’m very tired.

Sharon: Alright, well, try to rest.

Adam: I just — I don’t know if I can.

Sharon: I’ll help you.

Adam: Well, um… will you stay?

Sharon: I’ll be right here. I’m not going anywhere.

Adam: You and I — we had a lifetime of history before I ever met chelsea.

Sharon: Well, maybe that’s just what it is. It’s history. You know, you can’t just compartmentalize whole relationships of this scope.

Adam: That — that is shrink talk. Your training — it doesn’t apply to us. There’s no chapter in that psychology textbook that can explain you and me.

Sharon: You love chelsea, okay? Not me.

Adam: Don’t push me away. You will never love rey the way that you love me. This — you and I — it is meant to be.

Sharon: I-I can’T. I-I won’T.

Adam: Sharon.

[Thoughtful guitar music]

[Knocking at door]

Claire: Hi.

Ben: Hey.

Claire: So I’ve been thinking about this and I’m pretty sure I have something.

Ben: Come on in.

Claire: So I really think that I can convince my mom to help you fight this divorce.

Ben: Claire–

Claire: So I’m going to tell her that it’s for ciara’s own good, that she has been through so much that she’s just not in the place to make big decisions right now so if we can just slow down the process–

Ben: Claire. Thank you. Really. But it’s too late.

Ciara: I cannot believe how much henry has grown.

Allie: I know. Ciara, we missed you so much.

Ciara: And I missed you too. So do you want something to drink or wine, water, anything?

Allie: No, but I do you want you to tell me what’s wrong.

Ciara: Wrong? No, allie, there’s nothing wrong.

Allie: Okay. Well, on the phone you sounded really upset, and right now you’re a little wound up so…

Ciara: That’s just because I’m very excited. I’m very, very excited about something.

Allie: Okay, about what?

Ciara: I will explain that in detail. But first I have to ask you something and I need you to say yes.

Allie: What’s that?

Ciara: I want you to be my maid of honor.

Lucas: What happened? What happened to the anniversary celebration?

Philip: You don’t wanna know.

Lucas: Don’t tell me something went wrong. Not in salem.

Philip: Let’s just say the party’s over.

Eric: I hoped to be gone before you got back.

Nicole: Suitcase kind of clued me in.

Eric: Yes, I didn’t think there’d be really anything for us to talk about, is there?

Nicole: No.

Eric: Just going to take a late-night flight out of salem. I gotta just, you know, to grab the flight out of new york in the morning.

Nicole: You going back to a little village in africa?

Eric: Yeah, that’s right.

Nicole: You know, why don’t we just call it what it really is? Running away.

EJ: What did nicole mean when she said, “let she who is without sin cast the first stone?”

Sami: Well, I don’t know. I mean, maybe she found religion all of a sudden.

EJ: It sounded like an accusation. What sin have you committed now, samantha? Hmm. “Without sin.” I wonder what she meant by that.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Sami: She didn’t mean anything by it? You know, it’s just a shot in the dark.

EJ: A rather biblical shot in the dark, wouldn’t you say?

Sami: No, I would say that it’s just classic nicole, right? She’s backed into a corner and she would say whatever mean, nasty thing comes into her mind.

EJ: Backed into a corner is putting it mildly, don’t you think? I would have thought backed into a corner and facing a firing squad.

Sami: A uncharitable person might say that she has no one to blame but herself.

EJ: It must have been her worst nightmare. Xander announcing to a room full of people in front of her husband, her husband’s family that she violated her marriage vows.

Sami: I can’t imagine why she got involved with that guy in the first place. I mean, he’s a ticking time bomb.

EJ: A ticking time bomb with a flair for the dramatic.

Sami: Exactly.

EJ: Who does that remind me of?

Sami: You know, what ej? I am exhausted and frankly, I’m still worried about eric. Maybe we could finish this postmortem in the morning.

EJ: I do find it odd how, with her whole world crashing around her, nicole singles you out for judgment.

Sami: You know, ej, I really love when we keep talking about things that I don’t want to talk about.

EJ: There are just so many questions. For example, you say you saw nicole brady stumble into salem inn with her nemesis and kept it to yourself.

Sami: Yeah, well, I wanted to spare eric.

EJ: But he didn’t get spared, did he? He got it right between the eyes in a crowded pub. It’s as almost if it was staged.

Sami: Damn it, ej.

EJ: It was so brutal, so humbling, so devastating. I can’t possibly see how that marriage survives. Do you?

Eric: I thought you had enough pain for one night.

Nicole: So you decided for both of us it would be better for me to come home to an empty apartment? And you took out all your anger and frustration on this picture and didn’t wanna talk to me in person because I’ve had enough pain for tonight. Well, thank you. Thank you, eric, for always thinking about others.

Eric: I don’t really think there’s anything either one of us could say that could change what happened tonight.

Nicole: No. No, because the past is written in stone and there’s nothing that I can do or say to change the fact that I slept with xander.

Eric: Stop it! Stop it! I don’t wanna hear this.

Nicole: Because I was lonely and I was harassed and I degraded myself with a man who had abused me. And you, you chose to spend the first year of our marriage 8,000 miles away from me, our home, and our family, and our relationship was spent on social media. And then months went by where we didn’t even get to touch.

[Breathing heavily] So here’s nicole. The scarlet woman. Bad, bad, bad. And here’s eric running back to his good work. Back to a world where he does good for others and no one asks a damn thing of him. Depression makes it hard for me

Sami: All right, I don’t see how the marriage lasts now that eric knows what he knows now.

EJ: And you’re sorry about that?

Sami: No. You know very well I am not sorry to see that marriage end. You know how I feel about nicole. She doesn’t deserve to be with a wonderful guy like eric, but I am sorry that eric is in pain.

EJ: But it has to be done, right? Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Sami: Why are you doing this? You know I hate it when you cross-examine me?

EJ: Cross-examining you? I thought we were just an old couple discussing events of the evening.

Sami: Well then why do I feel like I’m in the witness box and you’re trying to blame everything on me?

EJ: Why would I do that when it’s clearly xander’s fault? But it does seem out of character for you to have seen nicole in such a compromising position and having never mentioned it to anyone.

Sami: What was I supposed to do? Post it on social media? I mean, if I had told eric or anyone else, I had no proof of what happened inside. No one would have believed me.

EJ: So you started tracking down credit card receipts? Nail it down, make the case.

Sami: Well, my brother’s a smart guy, ej, but he’s a fool when it comes to nicole so yeah, I was trying to protect him.

EJ: [Chuckles] So you decided to gather your proof and then in a quiet, private, solemn night, you would discreetly share what you knew with eric? But instead, somehow out of the blue, xander decides to make a public spectacle of nicole’s humiliation and shame? Now why… just why would he do that?

Nicole: Were you just gonna leave this here for me to find? Talk about a picture worth a thousand words. You didn’t think that would cause me pain? Or maybe you wanted to hurt me but you didn’t need to talk to me about it person ’cause that’s one of the perks of a long-distance relationship, right? You don’t have to own up to what you’ve done.

Eric: Okay, oh, right! I’m selfish. I’m sorry.

Nicole: You’re not selfish. You just weren’t here. You decided to go to africa and then you decided to stay. And when you did talk to me, all you did was talk about the–the–the children and the poverty and the lack of medication. And how was I supposed to compete with that? Well, the–the baby’s teething and holly’s wondering where her daddy is and I’m lonely. How was I supposed to talk to you about that? You asked all the right questions. “How are you? How’s holly?” But it was like you–you didn’t even wanna hear the answers. You were like a balloon that was just floating away from me.

Eric: Nicole, I’m sorry. I am so, so sorry, but good god, xander… I mean, if there’s any person besides me who hates him, it’s you.

Nicole: Don’t you think I understand that? Do you really think that I wanna defend myself for what I did? How can I– how can I expect you to believe anything I say now? How can I expect you to believe me when I tell you that I love you? Because I do love you. I just don’t know if it matters anymore. Maybe I–I just might have to accept the fact that this marriage is over. But I can’t accept. I won’t accept you just slipping away again because you married me and you made the same vows as me and the least you could do is talk to me. Talk to me like I am your wife.

Chad: Theo, what’s up, man?

Theo: Not much. Rematch?

Chad: Rematch. You let me win the last time.

Theo: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Chad: Yeah, okay. All right.

[Both laugh] So something tells me you’re here for more than a rematch.

Theo: Well, actually ben and ciara’s marriage just got annulled.

Chad: That’s great. You’re free to get married.

Theo: I am. Actually, I have a favor to ask.

Chad: Name it.

Theo: Would you be my best man?

Ciara: So my grandfather has a friend who’s a judge and he got him to issue in an annulment.

Allie: So now you’re going to marry theo?

Ciara: I am. Oh, allie, he and I get along so well. We never fight, I swear. And he’s, like, the kindest man I’ve ever met in my life. And he’s really funny, even though that might surprise you because he comes across all serious and quiet, but he really does have a great sense of humor.

Allie: It doesn’t surprise me. I like theo. I really do. So you guys are getting married here in salem?

Ciara: Mm-hmm, both of our families are here.

Allie: So when’s the big day?

Ciara: Tomorrow.

Claire: You’re sure? Right. Okay, thanks, mom.

Ben: What is it? Claire, just tell me. Whatever the hell it is.

Claire: Well, you might as well hear it from me. My dad just got a text from ciara. She and theo are getting married tomorrow.

Eric: I thought we did talk. I thought we decided together.

Nicole: For future reference, when you ask someone, “is it okay if I do exactly what I want” and make it very, very clear they better say yes, that is not talking. That is not making a decision together.

Eric: Then I’m sorry.

Nicole: Damn it, eric. We made a decision together for your niece and her son to move in here and–and then you just checked out.

Eric: What? You said you were okay with that?

Nicole: I was okay with it, but I didn’t think I would be doing it alone. I didn’t think that every three months I’d get a memo that you decided to re-up. I mean, I-I got married and I-I don’t think I felt more alone in my entire life.

Eric: Well, is that supposed to excuse you sleeping with xander now?

Nicole: No, it doesn’t excuse me for sleeping with xander! It is–I hate what I did! It was the worst mistake I made in my life, okay? But I have to figure out some way–some way to understand why it happened. And how I can forgive myself because if I can’t forgive myself, how am I gonna go on? And I have to go on, eric. I have to. Because I have a little girl that I love with my whole heart. And there are people here that need me.

Eric: If things were getting that bad and you were that desperate, you should have told me.

Nicole: I tried. I tried; I did. I even tried to tell you after it happened.

Eric: No, you did not.

Nicole: Yes, I did. I-I wrote you an email. Sounds so sad coming out of my mouth, but I wrote you an email and I couldn’t send it. And I tried talking to you and I… and then you came home and it was our anniversary.

Eric: I get why you’re mad. I get why you’re mad because I bailed out on you. What I don’t get is, why xander? Him? Him of all people?

Nicole: Maybe I went to bed with xander because I thought I could finally get my husband to pay attention to me.

Lucas: So you think I should get nicole to–

Philip: Bring ej up to speed? Like you said, you can’t do it. Sami would never forgive you. But if nicole gives the letter to ej…

Lucas: Right. Sami would think nicole’s just trying to get revenge.

Philip: Ej kicks sami to the curb, who’s gonna be right there to comfort her?

Sami: Who knows why xander does anything?

EJ: Hmm. You know what else I didn’t understand. After xander spilled the beans tonight, you just stood there. I would’ve thought you’d be right there to back up his story. I mean, you’ve made it very clear over the years you didn’t think nicole was good enough for eric. Wasn’t it the perfect opportunity to, um, what’s the american expression? To pile on.

Sami: [Chuckles] I didn’t see the need. All that matters is that eric finally knows the truth.

EJ: Hmm. Or… something else is at play. I wonder, samantha, what exactly is it that you’re not telling me?

Sami: All right, all right, your honor, have mercy on me. I’m ready to confess. Well, truth is that I paid xander to show up at the party tonight and tell everybody what I already knew.

EJ: No.

[Chuckles] How much?

Sami: A million dollars.

EJ: A million dollars? The man’s on his uppers. Did you even try low-balling him?

Sami: Well, it was worth it. Every penny for eric to know the truth about nicole.

EJ: Our xander does seem a little one-note about his fees. Didn’t he want a million dollars to stop from killing you and lucas?

Sami: He wanted $10 million, but I had to give him all cash because you remembered how you cancel the wire transfer last time.

EJ: Right. Well, I’m sure you were willing to pay whatever it took to bring nicole to her knees.

Sami: No matter what you think, I didn’t enjoy it tonight. I just did what I had to do. Eric had to know the truth.

EJ: Yeah. 30 seconds before xander arrived, eric thought he was happy. Now he’s miserable. But he knows the full story. Thanks to you.

Eric: You wanted to hurt me that much?

Nicole: You just told me you weren’t coming home. Again. I was so angry and–and hurt. I was so hurt that people on another continent were more important than me.

Eric: That’s not true.

Nicole: Can you just let me finish, please? I-I-I think I wanted to hurt you. But I definitely wanted to hurt me. I wanted to blow things up because that’s the one thing that I’m actually good at. Self-destruction.

Eric: I called you that night. You were disappointed. Why didn’t you just say?

Nicole: What? Do I tell you that you better come home or I’m going to sleep with xander? What, I didn’t even see that one coming. And I didn’t want beg and plead my husband to want to be on the same continent as me.

Eric: You’re right. This is as much as my fault as it is yours.
[Nicole sobbing]

Ben: Ciara cannot be marrying theo on our anniversary.

Claire: Ben, she doesn’t remember that, okay? This is just a coincidence.

Ben: I told her tomorrow was our anniversary last week. She’s doing this on purpose, claire.

Allie: Are you doing this on purpose?

Ciara: Doing what?

Allie: Marrying theo on your anniversary to ben.

Ciara: Oh, my god, this is not about ben. This is about me, allie. I wanna take that date back. I want to remember tomorrow as the day that I married my best friend, not the day that I married some serial killer. I have no memory of that day.

Allie: Well, I remember that day in detail. And I know you’re not gonna believe me but before all hell broke loose, I think it was the happiest day of your life.

Chad: Now, I don’t–i don’t mean to butt in, but I just think you’re–you’re maybe rushing things a little bit.

Theo: Neither one of us wants to wait.

Chad: I get that, but I mean, tomorrow?

Theo: Yeah. Well, ciara picked it because it was her anniversary to ben.

Chad: Romantic.

Theo: Yeah, I know. I don’t like the idea that she’s using our marriage as payback against ben.

Chad: Well, just because she hates ben doesn’t mean it changes the way she feels about you.

Theo: Checkmate.

Chad: What?

Theo: Don’T. Don’t act surprised. I know you let me win.

Chad: No, I don’t know–i don’t know what you’re talking about.

Ben: She’s marrying theo tomorrow to get back at me.

Claire: No, ben, I know that it looks that way, but–

Ben: What do you mean it looks that way? What other way could it look? What other reason does she have?

Claire: Maybe she’s scared. Seriously, maybe she wants to marry theo as soon as she can because she’s scared she’s gonna remember what she had with you.

Allie: That day you were so beautiful. You were so happy.

Ciara: That day, allie, the church was bombed because of ben. My entire family could have died. Everyone in that church could have died, including you and henry, all because of the horrible things ben had done.

Allie: Okay. Well, that ben wasn’t the ben that you were marrying.

Ciara: My god, I’m so sick of people saying that.

Allie: Okay, but it’s true. I mean, you don’t think that people can change?

Ciara: Not that much.

Allie: Look, from what I know about ben, which is mainly from my grandmother, he had a really hard childhood and he was mentally ill.

Ciara: Really don’t wanna hear this.

Allie: Okay, well, will you let me finish, please?

Ciara: Okay.

Allie: But he was very motivated to get better and through a lot of meds and therapy and mainly your love and your support, he did. He got better.

Ciara: You know, I’ve heard all of this before.

Allie: Okay, and I think you need to hear it again and again because ciara, my god, the two of you, you were so in love that after you kissed and said your vows, people were crying. You guys were the picture of happily ever after and everyone thought it was forever.

[Soft, solemn music]

Eric: You’re right. I was running away. I didn’t want to fix my part in this. I acted like the fact that I’ve been doing something good excused me from you, my marriage. I’m sincerely sorry. So what do we do now?

Philip: So what do you say?

Lucas: I hate it. Man, I do hate the way he treats her like–like she’s his property. I can’t stand it.

Philip: I picked up on that.

Lucas: But ej is dangerous. I mean, god only knows what–what he might do if he finds out what happened between us. I mean, I suppose I could do it. I could give nicole this letter and she might give it to ej, but I don’t know.

Philip: I’m pretty certain nicole would love to help. She’s the best shot at getting what you want. Sami.

Lucas: I do want her, but I can’t do it like this. I love her too much. Man, I don’t wanna hurt her. I should have just let this letter burn.

[Dramatic music]

Allie: I actually remember ben’s vows. He said–

Ciara: Don’t tell me what they said. Please don’t tell me what he said. Look, allie, I’ve told you I don’t remember and I don’t want to remember and here you are just going on and on about it like–

Allie: Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I did not mean to upset you.

Ciara: No? Well, how did you think that I would react?

Allie: I just thought that– I don’t know. It’s just so sad to me that you and ben can’t be together.

Ciara: I’m sorry that you think it’s sad, but to me, all I can think about is how nuts I must’ve been to actually let that psychopath into my life. Allie, theo is my best friend. I love him. He makes me feel safe.

Allie: I get that he makes you feel safe, but is that the best reason to marry someone?

Ciara: I actually thought that you’d be excited that I asked you, but if you don’t wanna do it, then that’s fine.

Theo: Do what?

Ciara: I just asked allie to be my maid of honor.

Ben: You think ciara’s afraid that she’s going to remember what she had with me?

Claire: Maybe. I mean, think about it. If she did, that would change everything for her and for theo.

Ben: When ciara was in love with me, she was the bravest person I ever knew. She didn’t care about what I did or who I was. Only that she loved me.

Nicole: What do we do now? How many times have you asked yourself that? All I know is that no matter what I do, I will always be a sinner and you will always be a saint.

Eric: Far from it.

Nicole: I know you will find a way to forgive me. But I will never forgive myself. And although you took that priest collar off years ago, it doesn’t change who you are. You are a good man who wants to help other people and that is really hard to do with a wife–a wife wants your whole life and your whole heart to herself.

Eric: What are you saying?

Nicole: I’m saying that we are just two different people. And I think I’m the best version of me when I’m with you. And you’re the best version of you when you’re not with me.

Eric: So… what are we supposed to do?

Nicole: [Crying] There’s nothing we can do.

Eric: Nothing? You mean?

Nicole: [Sobbing] I mean… I think this marriage is over.

EJ: I know you don’t wanna talk about it, but there’s just one more thing I’d like to say.

Sami: Can I stop you?

EJ: It must’ve been awful for you to see xander and nicole heading into that inn.

Sami: Awful for me?

EJ: I may find eric tedious, but he’s a good man, a good husband, faithful. After everything I did to you.

Sami: Ej.

EJ: After you put your life on hold for me and I treated you terribly, you were faithful to a man who didn’t deserve it. Nicole betrayed eric in the first year of their marriage. I can actually understand why you did what you did. I just thank god that you hung with me. You didn’t turn to another man. I would’ve lost my mind.

[Sami breathes deeply]

Theo: And what did she say?

Allie: I said of course. I’d love to.

Theo: That’s great. Chad just said he’d be my best man. So we’re really doing this tomorrow.

Ciara: Nothing in the world is going to stop us, theo.

Claire: You need to be the brave one now, ben. Look, I know that this has been so hard on you. But you can’t quit.

Ben: You’re right. Ciara’s planning on marrying theo tomorrow, and I have to do whatever the hell it takes to stop her.

Sami: Let’s just forget about tonight, okay? We’re back together. That’s all that matters. Just forget about everything else, okay, ej?

Philip: So you’re just giving up?

Lucas: I think it’s best for now. But thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for trying to help.

Philip: Well, I am not giving up.

Eric: I wanted to spend time with holly. I miss her so much.

Nicole: She’s missed you too. But you–you can video chat still, right? And I know that she’ll keep writing you letters and she always looks forward to your letters in the mail.

Eric: I can’t let you go.

Nicole: [Crying] You have to. You have to.

Eric: I can leave in the morning.

Nicole: Oh, god. No. No… you–you should go.

[Emotional piano music]

Eric: I’ll always love you.

Nicole: And I will always, always love you. [Sobbing] Oh, god. Oh, my god.

Josslyn and Trina at the Metro Court pool

Best Lines provided by Suzanne

Valentin: We’re hanging in an Irish bar. I’m not drinking a domestic beer.

Anna: Oh, god. Is it warm?

Valentin: Oh, yeah.

Deanna: I can’t decide who she looks like — you or Mr. Cassadine.

Brook Lynn: You know babies. One minute they look just like you, and the next they’re a dead ringer for Winston Churchill.

Josslyn: Was that your mystery man?

Trina: Don’t know why I gave that guy my number. I guess I felt sorry for him.

Josslyn: Oh? And what did he do to deserve your pity?

Trina: It’s not pity. Victor — he grew up without a mom. There’s something lost and lonely about him.

Josslyn: You like him.

Trina: Yeah. Same way I like stray puppies.

Brook Lynn: Oh, you just figured because you claim to be my family, which, by the way, we’ve heard a thousand times before, that somehow my business is now your business?

Austin: Really?

Brook Lynn: Okay, well, it isn’t. Maxie and I were just talking, so you can run along. Shoo. Don’t let my footwear hit you in the butt on the way out.

Josslyn: So, tell me more about Victor.

Trina: Uh, he’s excessively fond of the park.

Hopkins: Let me take a shot. Mm… you’re from London.

Anna: Oh, wow, you’re good. For an American.

Maxie: Oh, don’t tell me you’re a Quartermaine.

Austin: Guilty as charged.

Maxie: Oh, first thing you need to know about that family — never admit guilt unless you already know you’re getting away with it.

Austin: Getting away with what?

Maxie: Mm, doesn’t matter.

Maxie: Well, um, good luck with the Quartermaines. I really wish I could be around to see the fireworks.

Austin: That might be the case. Bye, cuz. I’ll see you when I see you. Unless you see me first.

Josslyn: So you’re not mad.

Trina: Why would I be mad that my two best friends finally wised up and realized that they’re meant to be together?

Josslyn: Well, because for a while, you and Cam —

Trina: Joss, please. That is so high school. We’ve matured since then. We’re four years away from being college graduates.

Josslyn: So you’re genuinely happy for me and Cam?

Trina: I’m happy for Cam. I feel nothing but pity for you.

[ Both chuckle ]

Cameron: Hey, so I got us some Shirley Temples. We can get sodas anywhere, so… a-are we good here?

[ Both laugh ]

Brook Lynn: And we all were quite shocked when he made his big announcement… except Monica. I swear, that woman, she has ice in her veins.

Maxie: Okay, well, can she give me a transfusion? ‘Cause I’m kind of freaking out right now that Austin’s gonna recognize you from that night in the woods.

Ava: I’m mortified. F-f-for the other night.

Austin: Oh, don’t be. No, it was fun.

Ava: It was fun?

Austin: Yeah, it was fun. I’m from a small town. It’s quiet. Not much happens in Pautuck. For me to be a-a part of a public matrimonial drama, that’s a big night out. [ Chuckles ] It’s like diving in the deep end.

Ava: Mm, off the deep end, I think.

[ Both laugh ]

Austin: So, how are things with you two?

Ava: Divorce. We’re — we’re getting divorced.

Austin: Sorry to hear that. Some differences are irreconcilable.

Ava: Actually, it’s a matter of life and death.

Spencer: It seems like your wife has found a friend.

Nikolas: I don’t know. Last time I saw her with that guy —

Spencer: This isn’t the first time? Interesting.

Nikolas: Spencer, don’t.

Spencer: Don’t what? State the obvious.

Nikolas: Don’t try to stir things up.

Spencer: Sorry. Old habits. Ah, speaking of which, you should kick this one.

Cameron: So, you told her.

Josslyn: Oh, she already knew. Apparently, we were the only ones who didn’t.

Trina: Don’t think this changes anything, Cam. Sisters before misters always. Capiche?

Cameron: Hey, do you need more sunblock?

Josslyn: Oh, uh, yeah, actually. I can feel myself starting to roast.

Cameron: Do you want me to…?

Josslyn: Oh, please. Yeah.

Spencer: Watch the hands, townie.

Ben 7/20/21

Claire goes to see Ben and tells him that she thinks she can convince Belle to represent him. Ben thanks her but says it’s too late.

Ciara joins Allie at Julie’s Place. Ciara can’t believe how much Henry has grown. Allie says they missed her so much. Ciara asks if she wants a drink. Allie just wants to know what’s wrong. Ciara claims that she’s just very excited about something, but first she has to ask her something and she needs her to say yes. Ciara then informs Allie that she wants her to be her maid of honor.

Lucas comes downstairs at the Brady Pub and finds Philip drinking a beer. Lucas asks what happened to the anniversary celebration. Philip responds that he doesn’t want to know. Lucas questions something going wrong in Salem. Philip tells him that the party is over.

Nicole goes home, where Eric remarks that he hoped to be gone before she got back. Nicole notices his suitcase and their smashed photo on the floor as Eric says they have nothing left to talk about. Eric informs her that he’s taking the first flight out of Salem and heading back to Africa. Nicole then accuses Eric of running away.

EJ asks Sami what Nicole meant by saying let she without sin cast the first stone. Sami claims not to know and calls it crazy, suggesting she just found religion. EJ notes that it sounded like an accusation. EJ questions Sami as to what sin she has committed now. Sami thinks back to kissing Lucas. EJ continues to wonder what Nicole meant by “without sin”. Sami claims it was just a shot in the dark and blows it off as classic Nicole when she’s backed in a corner. Sami remarks that Nicole has no one to blame but herself. EJ calls it Nicole’s worst nightmare. Sami can’t imagine why she got involved with Xander in the first place. Sami calls Xander a ticking time bomb with a flare for the dramatic. EJ relates that to Sami. Sami wants to go to sleep and finish this in the morning. EJ brings up how Nicole’s whole world was crashing around her but she singles Sami out for judgment. Sami complains about not wanting to talk about this. EJ says there are just so many questions and points out Sami seeing Nicole stumble in to the Salem Inn with Xander and keeping it to herself. Sami claims that she wanted to spare Eric. EJ says he didn’t get spared but got it right between the eyes as if it were staged. EJ adds that it was so brutal, public, and devastating that he can’t see how their marriage survives.

Eric thinks Nicole has had enough pain for one night. Nicole questions Eric deciding for both of them that she should come home to an empty apartment and taking his frustrations out on their picture. Nicole mocks Eric always thinking about others. Eric doesn’t think anything can change what happened tonight. Nicole cries that she can’t change the fact that she slept with Xander because she was lonely while Eric chose to spend their first year of marriage a thousand miles away from her. Nicole complains about the months that went by. Nicole mocks Eric running back to his world where he does good for others and no one asks a damn thing of him.

Sami agrees with EJ that she doesn’t see how Eric and Nicole’s marriage lasts. Sami admits she’s not sorry to see their marriage end because of how she feels about Nicole, but she’s sorry that Eric is in pain. EJ comments on how it had to be done. Sami hates it when EJ cross examines her. EJ thought they were just discussing the evening’s events. Sami thinks EJ is trying to blame everything on her. EJ says it’s clearly Xander’s fault but it seems out of character for Sami to see Nicole in a vulnerable position and kept it to herself. Sami argues that no one would’ve believed her without proof. EJ brings up Sami tracking down credit card receipts. Sami says that Eric is a fool when it comes to Nicole, so she was trying to protect him. EJ continues to question Sami’s plan and why Xander would suddenly decide to shame Nicole in public.

Nicole asks Eric if he was just going to leave their smashed photo for her to find and if he didn’t think that would cause her pain. Nicole suggests he wanted to hurt her but not talk to her in person. Nicole complains that Eric wasn’t there and decided to stay in Africa. Nicole says it’s all Eric talked about when they did talk while Holly’s wondering where her dad is and she’s lonely. Nicole cries that Eric asked the questions but didn’t want to hear the answers. Eric tells her that he’s so sorry but says if there’s anyone besides him who hates Xander, it’s her. Nicole doesn’t want to defend herself for what she did. Nicole asks how she can expect him to believe anything she says now. Nicole cries that she loves Eric but she doesn’t know if it matters anymore. Nicole decides she might have to accept the fact that their marriage is over, but she won’t accept him just slipping away again because he married her and made the same vows as her, so the least he could do is talk to her like she is his wife.

Theo goes to the DiMera Mansion to see Chad. Theo suggests a chess rematch. Chad still thinks Theo let him win last time. They sit down to play chess. Chad thinks Theo is here for something more though. Theo reveals to Chad that Ben and Ciara’s marriage just got annulled. Chad says that’s great and now he can get married. Theo then asks Chad to be his best man.

Ciara explains to Allie that Victor has a friend who is a judge and he got him to grant an annulment so now she’s going to marry Theo. Ciara talks about how well they get along and swears they never fight. Ciara praises Theo. Allie says she likes Theo and asks if they are getting married in Salem. Ciara confirms that they are because both of their families are here. Ciara then reveals that they are getting married tomorrow.

Claire finishes a call with Belle and informs Ben that Shawn just got a text from Ciara that she and Theo are getting married tomorrow.

Nicole 7/20/21

Eric tells Nicole that he thought they did talk and decided together. Nicole argues that Eric asked if it was okay and made it clear that she better say yes and that’s not making a decision together. Nicole talks about deciding together for Allie and Henry to move in, then Eric just checked out. Eric thought she was okay with that. Nicole says she was but didn’t think she’d be doing it alone and that Eric would continue to extend his stay in Africa. Nicole adds that she never felt more alone in her life. Eric asks if that’s supposed to excuse her sleeping with Xander. Nicole yells that it doesn’t excuse her from sleeping with Xander and she hates what she did as it’s the worst mistake of her life, but she has to figure out some way to understand why it happened and how she can forgive herself. Nicole cries that she has to go on because she has Holly and there are people who need her. Eric argues that if things were getting that bad and she was that desperate, she should’ve told him. Nicole claims she tried which Eric disagrees with. Nicole tells Eric about how she started writing an e-mail to tell him the truth but she couldn’t send it. Nicole says she tried talking to him but then he came home and it was their anniversary. Eric gets that she’s mad because he bailed on her but he doesn’t get why Xander of all people. Nicole admits that maybe she went to bed with Xander because she thought maybe she could finally get her husband to pay attention to her.

Philip suggests Lucas get Nicole to get EJ up to speed by giving him Kristen’s letter, then EJ will kick Sami to the curb and Lucas will be there to comfort her.

Sami tells EJ that no one knows why Xander does anything. EJ brings up how Sami just stood there instead of backing up Xander’s story. EJ calls it the perfect opportunity to pile on. Sami claims she didn’t see the need since Eric finally knows the truth. EJ suggests something else is in play and wonders what Sami is not telling him. Sami then responds that she’s ready to confess. Sami then admits that she paid Xander off, to interrupt the party and tell everyone what she already knew, with a million dollars. Sami argues that it was worth every penny for Eric to know the truth about Nicole. EJ recalls Xander wanting millions to not kill her and Lucas. EJ knows Sami was willing to pay whatever it took to bring Nicole to her knees. Sami claims that she didn’t enjoy it and just did what she had to do because Eric had to know the truth. EJ mentions how Eric thought he was happy but now he’s miserable and he knows the full story, thanks to Sami.

Eric asks if Nicole wanted to hurt him that match. Nicole goes over how Eric just told her that he wasn’t coming home again so she was angry and hurt that people on another continent were more important than her. Eric says that’s not true. Nicole cries that she thinks she wanted to hurt him but she definitely wanted to hurt herself by blowing things up and self destructing. Eric asks why she didn’t just tell him when he called her. Nicole says she didn’t see sleeping with Xander coming but she didn’t want to beg her husband to want to be on the same continent as her. Eric then agrees that it’s as much his fault as it is hers.

Ben tells Claire that Ciara cannot be marrying Theo on their anniversary. Claire reminds him that Ciara doesn’t remember that and claims that this is just a coincidence. Ben informs her that he told Ciara it was their anniversary last week, so she’s doing this on purpose.

Ciara and Allie chat 7/20/21

Allie asks if Ciara is purposely marrying Theo on her anniversary to Ben. Ciara claims this is not about Ben but about herself as she wants to take that date back as the day she married her best friend and not some serial killer. Ciara says she has no memory of that day. Allie says she does and thinks before all hell broke loose, it was the happiest day of Ciara’s life.

Chad admits he thinks Theo may be rushing things a bit. Theo says neither one of them want to wait. Theo then informs Chad that Ciara picked tomorrow because it was her anniversary to Ben. Theo admits he doesn’t like that Ciara is using their marriage as payback against Ben. Chad encourages that it doesn’t change the way she feels about him. Theo then wins the chess game and says he knows Chad let him win, which Chad denies.

Ben complains that Ciara is marrying Theo tomorrow to get back at him. Claire tries to suggest that Ciara is just scared of remembering what she had with him.

Allie talks about how beautiful and happy Ciara was on that day. Ciara brings up that the church was bombed because of Ben and everyone could’ve died, all because of the horrible things Ben had done. Allie argues that wasn’t the Ben she was marrying. Ciara is sick of hearing that and doesn’t think people can change that much. Allie talks about how Ben was mentally ill but was very motivated to get better and he did. Ciara says she’s heard all of this before. Allie thinks she needs to hear it again and again, because they were so in love that people were crying after their vows. Allie calls them the picture of happily ever after and says everyone thought it was forever.

Eric admits to Nicole that he was running away because he didn’t want to face his part in this. Eric acknowledges that he acted like him doing something good excused him from her and their marriage. Eric apologizes and asks what they do now.

Philip asks Lucas what he says. Lucas hates the way EJ treats Sami like she’s his property and he can’t stand it. Lucas notes that EJ is dangerous and worries about what he might do if he finds out what happened between them. Lucas supposes that Nicole might give EJ the letter. Philip thinks it’s the best shot of Lucas getting Sami. Lucas says he wants Sami but he can’t do it like this as he loves her too much and doesn’t want to hurt her. Lucas declares that he should’ve just let the letter burn as he throws it in the trash can.

Allie remembers Ben’s vows. Ciara stops him from telling her what he said. Ciara states that she doesn’t remember and doesn’t want to remember while Allie is going on about it. Allie apologizes for upsetting her. Ciara asks how she thought she would react. Allie calls it just so sad that she and Ben can’t be together. Ciara is sorry she thinks that, but to her, she can only think of how nuts she must have been to let Ben in her life. Ciara insists that Theo is her best friend, she loves him, and he makes her feel safe. Allie gets that but asks if that’s the best reason to marry someone. Ciara thought Allie would be excited to be her maid of honor but says if she doesn’t want to do it, that’s fine. Theo arrives and asks what it is. Ciara informs him that she just asked Allie to be her maid of honor.

Ben questions Claire thinking Ciara is afraid to remember what she had with him. Claire points out that if she did remember, it would change everything for her and Theo. Ben talks about Ciara being the bravest person he ever knew and that all she cared about was that she loved him.

Nicole asks how many times Eric has asked himself what do they do now. Nicole says all she knows is that no matter what she does, she will always be a sinner and he will always be a saint. Eric says he’s far from it. Nicole knows he will find a way to forgive her, but she will never forgive herself. Nicole cries that he took his priest collar off years ago but it doesn’t change that he’s a good man who loves to help other people and that’s really hard to do with a wife, who wants his whole life and heart to herself. Eric asks what she is saying. Nicole responds that they are just two different people and she thinks she’s the best version of her when she’s with him but he’s the best version of him when he’s not with her. Eric asks what they are supposed to do. Nicole cries that there’s nothing they can do. Nicole then declares that she thinks this marriage is over.

Sami with EJ 7/20/21

EJ tells Sami that he has one more thing to say. EJ says it must have been awful for her to see Xander and Nicole heading in to the Salem Inn. EJ adds that he may find Eric tedious but he’s a good man and husband. EJ states that after everything he did to Sami, she was faithful even when he didn’t deserve it. EJ notes that Nicole betrayed Eric in their first year of marriage so he can understand why Sami did what she did. Sami thinks back to EJ saying he would’ve lost his mind if she turned to another man as EJ hugs her.

Allie agrees to be Ciara’s maid of honor which Theo says is great and notes that Chad just agreed to be his best man. Theo asks Ciara if they are really doing this tomorrow. Ciara responds that nothing in the world will stop them as they hug.

Claire encourages Ben to be the brave one now. She knows this has been so hard on him but he can’t quit. Ben agrees and declares that he has to do whatever the hell it takes to stop Ciara from marrying Theo tomorrow.

Sami kisses EJ and suggests just forgetting about tonight as they are back together and that’s all that matters, so they can forget about everything else as they continue kissing.

Philip questions if Lucas is just giving up. Lucas thinks it’s best for now but thanks Philip for trying to help. Lucas heads back upstairs. Philip then retrieves Kristen’s letter from the trash and declares that he is not giving up.

Nicole breaks down crying 7/20/21

Eric tells Nicole that he wanted to spend time with Holly as he missed her so much. Nicole cries that she missed him too, but they can still video chat and she will keep writing him letters. Eric cries that he can’t let Nicole go. Nicole tells him that he has to. Eric kisses Nicole and decides that he can leave in the morning but Nicole cries that he should go. Eric tells Nicole that he will always love her. Nicole says she will always love him as Eric then takes his suitcase and exits the apartment. Nicole then drops to the floor as she breaks down crying.

Our Opinions

5 Reasons why Sonny and Nina in Nixon Falls Is a Good Story By Suzanne

I just started watching the show again after an absence of a few years. It’s not that I intentionally stopped watching…I just watch a lot of TV and fell behind. I was slowly, ever so slowly, catching up, but I’m still back in 2018. I’ve decided to try to watch the new ones so that I can edit our daily GH Transcripts and write some of the GH Updates while our regular writer Anthony catches up on past episodes. He’s behind, too. It’s so easy to fall behind in these busy times. The pandemic slowed some people down, but for those of us who worked at home (as well as essential workers and others), we never slowed down.

Even though I haven’t watched many episodes in the past 3 years, I do still regularly read the GH news and spoilers, and I read other fans’ posts about it on Twitter and Facebook, so I know what’s been going on.

I know that a lot of fans are not happy with the fact that Sonny has been stuck in a small town with amnesia, away from his friends and family (who think he’s dead). It’s not usually a good idea to stick one or two characters off on their own for too long because the fun of a soap is seeing everyone in the cast interact. I’m not saying I’m a huge fan of Nina and Sonny’s “romance,” but here are a few good reasons to have this story.

#1 It keeps Maurice Benard happy. He’s the star of the show, as we were reminded recently when the shows EP said it. He obviously wanted to do something different than playing the same mob boss every day. It’s good to keep him happy so he doesn’t decide to retire. I know that not everyone loves him, but he’s very popular, so I do believe the show would suffer without him. Even though they had to create a different town and set of characters, I give them props for doing a pretty good job of it. Lenny and Phyllis are very likable. Maybe Maurice just got tired of wearing suits every day….he might be enjoying wearing those blue collar shirts. 😉

#2 It was a good choice for the Cyrus storyline because getting Sonny out of the way created a lot of problems for the other people in Port Charles, and they had to band together to get rid of him.

#3 It’s forcing Jason and Carly together. Now, most of us don’t really want to see them in a romantic relationship at this point. It’s been too long since they were together (1996, to be exact). They’re great friends, and they shouldn’t screw that up. I believe the writers are only putting them together to create more conflict for Jason and Britt (not to mention, Jason and Sam) as well as making it worse for Sonny’s eventual return. Hopefully, Jason and Carly won’t actually sleep together. Thank goodness she’s too old to get pregnant, too. Well, never say never in Soap Land…

#4 Having one of the characters leave town, lose their memory, and then everyone thinks he’s dead… that’s a soap trope by now. In fact, Sonny did something similar years ago when he was stabbed and nursed back to health by Angel (who was really boring). Micky Horton on Days did it way back in 1973. Victor on Y&R has done it a few times. It happened to Tad on All My Children, too. Those story memories are just off the top of my head, so I’m sure there are many more examples.

#5 The eventual reveal will be great – when Sonny gets his memory back and finds out that Nina kept his existence a secret from his family. I’m sure Carly will have a few slaps to give, too. With a real mobster, Nina would be dead from that kind of thing, but Sonny rarely kills anyone, so most likely Nina will just be persona non grata for a while around Port Charles. It would be really great if Sonny just forgave her because he still loves her, but I’m not going to hold my breath. Will Jason and Carly be sleeping together by then? Maybe. There will be a long list of people just waiting to yell at Nina (or worse).

The only thing I don’t like about this story is that Nina is the perpetual victim. She always makes the worst choices when it comes to love: Valentin, Franco, Jax and now a married mobster. Soap characters often have these problems, but hers seem to be worst than most. She was in a coma for 12 years because her evil mother put her there to steal her money, and she stole her baby, too. She can’t have more children, and the one she did have was dead by the time she learned about her.

It’s not only too sad to have her go through so many horrible love affairs, but it makes her look really dumb to keep making such poor decisions. This time it’s not just her romantic heart on the line, but she’ll probably also have a hard time getting permission to see grandson Wiley again, too. It’s great for Cynthia Watros because she’s outstanding in the role, but I just wish that Nina would have a nice, fun fling once in a while.

Most people hate change, but life – and daytime drama – is all about change. Fans want their favorite couples to stay together forever, and that’s just not what these shows are about. I can’t wait for the fireworks when Nina is found out!

Y&R Update Tuesday, July 20 2021

Posted on July 20, 2021 by Christine

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Recap written by Christine

At the main house, Victor called Sutton, who was at Society. Victor asked if Sutton had considered his proposal. Sutton had been wondering whether or not Victor could be trusted. Victor stated that he’d give Sutton the incriminating letter from Victor, and in exchange, Sutton would owe him a favor one day. Victor ended the call. Adam entered the main house hoping to talk to Victor about business strategy, but Victor asked if they could postpone it because he had other things on his mind. He exited into another room just as Nikki walked in. Adam asked Nikki if she knew why Victor was preoccupied. She did not. She asked how Connor was. According to Adam, he was happy to spend time alone with his mother. He’d been a little curious why Rey was there so Adam told him that he’d sent along someone he trusted. Adam admitted he was glad Rey was there, since it was probably safer for everyone. Nikki agreed. He told her she didn’t have to make polite conversation every time they were together, because he knew what she thought of him. “I might surprise you,” she replied.

Nikki thought she and Adam should be honest with each other since he was going to be living on the ranch. She stated that they had a difficult history. He didn’t think they should mince words. “We haven’t liked each other very much. Actually at all,” he replied. She agreed that was accurate, but she noticed he was trying to improve. Her first instinct was to keep a close eye on him, in case it was all an act, like in the past. “But apparently, I was wrong about you,” she admitted. She knew how difficult it was to change, and she respected his effort. He was trying to be a better man, a loving father and dedicated son, but a lot of this was uncharted territory for him. Sometimes he wished he had a road map. She told him he had an entire family invested in his success, and if he got lost, there would always be someone to put him back on the right path. She was rooting for him. That meant a lot to him. She said he ever started to backslide or he put any of them in danger, he’d go right back to be enemy number one. He said he learned a long time ago never to underestimate her. “Good. Keep it that way,” she told him, and she left the room.

Later, Victor walked into the living room, and Nikki told him Adam was gone. She asked why he’d been distracted. He noted that they were going to Italy tomorrow. She couldn’t wait. He was trying to tie up loose ends before the flight. She was glad he sent the flowers to congratulate Victoria. He said Nikki reminded him that he wasn’t handling the merger the best way and that he should’ve congratulated Victoria for pulling off quite a coup. Nikki thought that Victor had been magnanimous, but she felt that he should congratulate Victoria in person before they went to Italy. He asked if she was saying what he did wasn’t good enough. She smiled and said she was keeping him honest. “No one does it better,” he replied.

Amanda was antsy because she thought she would’ve heard something by now. She paced around her suite until Devon convinced her to sit. She asked how he could be so calm, and he said it was because he knew that if Victor said he was going to do something, he did it. He advised patience. She couldn’t handle it and jumped up to pace around again. Imani showed up and announced that they had a problem – Naya was gone. She wasn’t in her hotel room, and none of the hotel employees had seen her all day. Amanda recommended they stay calm. Naya could’ve gone on a long walk, which wouldn’t be a bail violation. Devon said he’d go and let them figure this out, but he was a phone call away.

Amanda said Naya picked the worst time to disappear. She was waiting to hear back from Victor, but they wouldn’t be able to get an acquittal without a defendant. Imani asked what they should do. Amanda said the first step was getting into Naya’s room. Imani reiterated that Naya wasn’t there. That meant they couldn’t get in. Amanda said that when she realized she had to rely on herself, she learned not to let little things get in her way. The sisters left. They returned later, and Imani admitted she thought Amanda was going to handle things differently. Amanda assumed Imani thought she’d pick the lock to Naya’s room. Imani said the important thing was that Amanda convinced security to open the door. The room had been cleaned out, and Amanda didn’t understand why an innocent woman would skip bail. “It’s easier than telling her well-meaning daughters no,” Imani suggested. She thought Naya may have left because she figured out that they were going back on their promise not to implicate Sutton in her defense. However, the last time Imani talked to Naya, it didn’t seem like Naya knew anything about that. Amanda thought there could be another possibility, but she didn’t get a chance to share her thoughts because Sutton showed up.

Sutton told his granddaughters that Naya was gone. Amanda asked Sutton if he told Naya to run. Sutton asked why he’d come to them for help if he knew where Naya was. Imani asked if that’s why Sutton really came. “Not everything I do has a sinister motive. You used to know that, Imani,” Sutton replied. Amanda maintained that Sutton was usually up to something. She still thought this was all an act. He asked what he’d done to deserve this suspicion. She thought it was time they stop pretending. She wanted him to know she was going to prove he was guilty of her father’s murder. She demanded to know where her mother was. He didn’t know, and he said they had to work together to find her. She ordered him to worry about his damn self, and he asked if that was a threat. She said she’d find her mother and she’d handle things the way she always did – alone. “Now you took my sister from me. You deprived me of my father, and I will be damned if you take my mother from me to, so you better get the hell out of here,” she snarled, and he left. Amanda told Imani to listen, because they needed to focus. In the hall, Sutton texted Victor that he was on his way.

Sutton arrived at the main house and told Victor that he’d just had an angry encounter with his granddaughters. Victor knew the feeling of being at odds with your family. The situation had given Sutton clarity – he wanted the letter, and he’d give Victor the favor some day. Victor said he thought about it and decided to give the letter to Amanda instead. Sutton asked what kind of game Victor was playing, noting that Victor had said he had no allegiance to Amanda. Victor said it had nothing to do with Amanda; he just didn’t want to help Sutton. Victor said he and Sutton had played on the edges of legality, but this was different – Sutton committed a crime and betrayed his family. Victor had no tolerance for that.

Victor said Sutton was the head of his family. There was no greater responsibility. He stated that Sutton was given the gift of two beautiful twin granddaughters, and he turned his back on them to protect himself. Sutton maintained that he’d done what he had to do. Victor thought all politicians said that. “You are no better than me. I’ve heard all the stories about your awful relationships with your own children,” Sutton snapped. Victor was sure Sutton hadn’t heard all the stories, because there were a lot of them. Victor admitted that he made mistakes, but he said he never turned his back on his family and left them to their own devices. That was why he created a company with his son and why he appointed his daughter to run the company he created. “You turned your back on your family out of selfishness, now you’re paying for that,” Victor stated. Sutton said, unlike Victor, he didn’t have billions of dollars to buy his way out of his problems. Sutton believed he’d had to remain untouchable and keep his power base secure, to make sure his family came first. Victor said Richard got in the way of that. Sutton went on a tirade about Richard. He felt that Richard wasn’t like the Ames family. Richard was a nobody who was lucky to have even made it college with that background. “And my pride and joy had to go and get herself pregnant with that… Well if that meant that two accidents of birth had to be sacrificed, then, by God, so be it. It was for the greater good. I can live with what I’ve done. Richard was a nobody. He was a gnat. And he could’ve brought down everything I’d worked for. Well that was a risk I was not willing to take. Now give me the damn letter,” Sutton growled. Amanda and Imani walked in. Sutton glared at Victor, who smiled back.

Sutton tried to do damage control, but Amanda told him they’d heard the whole thing. Sutton said he’d deny it, and Amanda revealed that she recorded every word. She said this was what she needed to save her mother and prove he had her father killed. She noted that Victor knew just how to keep Sutton talking. Amanda informed Sutton that the letter never existed. At first, Sutton was adamant that the charges would never stick, then he turned desperate and begged Amanda to tell him what she wanted. “I want my father back, you son of a bitch,” she replied.

Sharon was at Crimson Lights when she got a text from Mariah. Abby and Tessa rushed in announcing that they also received texts from Mariah. At Abby’s suggestion, they compared the messages. Mariah told Abby that she felt overwhelmed by everyone’s constant concern about her health. The text to Tessa said Mariah was extending her exploratory business trip, and she needed a break. The text to Sharon stated that Mariah had to get away from getting smothered, and she was sorry for keeping everyone guessing. Mariah’s text to Abby also said she’d be back before the next doctor’s appointment and she was taking good care of herself and the baby. They all promised to make sure Mariah didn’t feel smothered when she returned.

Tessa and Abby went home. They apologized to each other and they both took the blame for the recent tension between them. Tessa was so glad that no one from her past had taken Mariah. Abby said their fears had been implausible, but they felt real. “I’m the person who knows Mariah the best. I just – I don’t know, I figured that the mood swings were a from the pregnancy, but it was a reaction to me,” Tessa said. “And me,” Abby replied. They resolved to do better. They both felt bad that they didn’t notice Mariah was having such a hard time. They agreed that they’d give her some space when she got back. Devon came over. He thought this was all good news – Mariah was taking care of herself and the baby, and there was no tension between Abby and Tessa anymore. Tessa was still bothered by the fact that Mariah wouldn’t call any of them, and she only reached out through text. Abby said maybe Mariah was worried that if she heard their voices, she’d be tempted to come back before she was ready. Tessa guessed so. Devon decided he should go check on Amanda, and Tessa hoped everything was okay with her. Abby thanked him for talking her down the other day by reminding her what Chance would say to her. Devon said she had a good guy who loved her and put her first. She felt lucky to have Devon remind her of that.

Sharon had just said goodnight to the last customer and was getting ready to close when Adam arrived asking if he was too late. She said she never turned down someone in need of a cup of coffee. She admitted it might not be her business, but she was curious how Connor and Chelsea were. He said it was definitely her business since she was the one who convinced him to let Chelsea take Connor to Minnesota, and… Sharon finished his thought by noting that Rey got recruited into going on the trip. He said it was going well, according to Chelsea and Connor. He asked if Rey agreed. Sharon had talked to Rey, but he didn’t ever say much about his work. She hoped Adam wouldn’t regret her advice to let Connor go with his mom. He said he had to work hard to sell Victor on the idea. He admitted Victor wasn’t entirely wrong about the risk. There was a chance this became a problem later – what if Chelsea wanted to move near Anita, or anywhere else. She’d push to have Connor live with her permanently. He felt strongly that Connor should live with him and that he should be the custodial parent. “Even if Chelsea does get a clean bill of health,” Sharon said. Sharon could tell Adam was holding something back, and she assured him that he could talk to her about anything.

“Chelsea faked her breakdown?,” a shocked Sharon said, as she sat at the table with Adam. “To a degree,” he replied. He stated that Chelsea wasn’t well, no one who did what she did to Rey could be. Chelsea was convinced Adam betrayed her, and her mind took her to some dark places. Sharon asked why someone with a good reputation like Dr. Hedges would get involved, and Adam said it was for the money. Sharon was surprised Adam was going along with Victor’s plan, given Chelsea’s objective was to frame him. Adam said he had no idea what his father had done, since he’d been on the run. When he came back… Sharon stated that he was in the hospital donating a kidney to Faith. When he learned the truth, he kept his mouth shut because he didn’t want Connor’s mom in prison, and he hoped being in the mental hospital would help her heal. Sharon understood why he made this decision.

Adam said he blamed himself for so much of what happened. He knew lying about her mental state was just the beginning of Chelsea’s crimes. He tried not to dwell on it since she had their son right now, but when push came to shove, Chelsea always reverted to form. Sharon pointed out that some people might say the same about Adam. He conceded her point. He’d just had a conversation with Nikki about that very thing. Sharon assumed Nikki thought the worst of him. Adam said Nikki was giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. He hoped Sharon would have as much faith that he could pull this off. “You really have to ask?,” she replied.

Adam was getting satisfaction from putting in the work to try and be a decent person instead of reveling in being bad. Every day was a new challenge, but he liked it. He thought of all the time and energy he invested in creating conflict, not to mention the weight of all the hate and anger. He wished he’d come to this realization a long time ago. Sharon said you couldn’t always force change. He thought about how sure Chelsea was that he’d steal Connor from her. She was primed to think the worst of him. He thought maybe letting Chelsea take Connor on the trip would have unexpected dividends. Sharon suggested it could be important for Chelsea to see he trusted her. He said maybe Chelsea would see him in a different light. Sharon asked when Adam started caring what other people thought. “It has always been important to me what you think of me. You know that,” he told her. She smiled. “Worry about the rest of the world, right. We’re fine,” she replied.

Sharon was walking away from the table as Adam said he missed her. She suggested he was just lonely because he and Chelsea were through and Connor was gone, but he said it was deeper than that, and it’d never change. She replied that Faith was waiting, and she had to leave. He thanked her for staying open. Her back was turned, but he lingered for a moment and stared at her before he left. As Sharon closed up, she had several flashbacks to emotionally charged and tender moments with Adam. She remembered telling him she wanted to help him out of the dark place he was in. She flashed back to thanking him for risking his freedom to rescue Faith. She’d said she’d never forget what he was willing to sacrifice for her and her daughter. She remembered him telling her that she was part of him, and she always would be. “You see me, Sharon. You see me in a way no one’s been able to. Not even Chelsea,” he’d said. He knew nothing could come of it, though. Sharon then remembered the time she told Adam that they weren’t going to get back together. She’d admitted she’d never love Rey the way she’d loved Adam, but that didn’t mean her love for Rey wasn’t strong. She said Rey gave her strength, but things were complicated with Adam. After the flashbacks, Sharon left.

Adam was alone in his darkened office with a drink in his hand. He remembered trying to convince Sharon not to let him get taken to the mental hospital. He begged her to save him, and she said she couldn’t. He flashed back to the time they went to Kansas because of AJ Montalvo. She told him to rest, and she’d promised she wouldn’t leave him. He then flashed back to telling Sharon how he felt about her. She’d insisted that he loved Chelsea, not her. Adam had maintained that he and Sharon were meant to be. He remembered pulling her into a kiss at Society.
