Recap written by Christine

Jack was on his way to bed when he found one of Harrison’s army men. He wistfully picked it up, then he grabbed his phone.

Phyllis found Adam sitting in the Grand Phoenix lounge. She asked him where his she-devil was, and he asked why, so she could douse her with another champagne bucket? Phyllis blamed Sally. Phyllis said she knew this new and improved version of Adam Newman wouldn’t last. She asserted that Sally would’ve left town if he didn’t allow Chloe to hire her. He said he was letting Chloe give Sally a second chance. He thought Phyllis should be in favor of those, since she’d had a few. She countered that he’d had more than her, and he replied that it wasn’t a contest. She asked why he was keeping Sally here after she ran Summer out of town. From what Adam heard, Summer was doing well in Milan. He just wanted to have a drink, without the drama, unless Phyllis wanted to tell him her real issue with Sally. Phyllis denied having a secret issue with Sally. Adam thought that Phyllis saw a bit of herself in Sally. Phyllis decided to leave, rather than dignify that with a response. Adam said that whenever Phyllis swanned out of the room without getting the last word, he knew he hit a nerve. Phyllis kept walking, and Adam grinned.

Phyllis showed up at Jack’s unexpectedly. She said she saw the text he sent Kyle in the family group chat, so she knew he was here, alone in this big empty house. She thought he might be lonely, so she came to say hi. He thanked her for checking on him. She felt she owed him because he stopped her from making a bigger mess of the evening at the party, and he gave her a pocket square to clean up the champagne on her face. He believed she’d shown admirable restraint. She thought he was being generous, and he said he was always a softy where she was concerned. She asked about the text he sent Kyle. He explained that he got a little too nostalgic after finding a toy Harrison left. She asked if he was okay. He was fine, but tired. She said she’d go, but he quickly asked her to stay, because he could use a friend. Phyllis asked Jack what was really going on. He didn’t want to get all maudlin. He kept telling people he was fine with Kyle and Summer moving to Italy with Harrison, but it all happened so fast. It was jarring. Phyllis understood. Part of him felt like he should move on with his life, and he was angry that he couldn’t, but the other part of him asked why he should move on – that was his son and grandson. This house used to be filled with noise and love, and now it wasn’t. He fought back tears. He didn’t want to get used to the silence and emptiness of it all. Phyllis said this house used to be filled with Abbotts. He said Traci and Ashley came and went and Kyle and Harrison were gone. Jack was very lonely.

Jack was adamant that he didn’t need Phyllis to fix this or tell him to look on the bright side. She said she’d wouldn’t say that. She just wanted to talk to him and listen. He was embarrassed about being lonely, even though she told him he shouldn’t be. He felt like he’d failed at life. He’d had a big full life, and now he was completely alone. She said he had so many people who loved him, herself included. She clarified that she knew that didn’t preclude you from being lonely – you could feel alone in a family or in a relationship. You’re born alone and you die alone. He laughed and asked if this was supposed to be a pep talk. She said it was a reality check. She thought that was why people tried so hard to form relationships and connections and why people worked so hard at romance. “Why we start a romance with the wrong person hoping they’ll magically turn into the right person?,” he asked. She assumed this was about Sally, who was definitely the wrong person. She couldn’t imagine who he was hoping Sally would turn out to be, though. “I guess I was hoping she would turn into you,” he admitted. Phyllis said Sally could never be her, even on Sally’s best day.

Phyllis told Jack that he didn’t want another Phyllis. There was a reason their marriage didn’t work out. Jack admitted they went through their share of heartache, but they’d also had some of the best times of his life. He said she was also the most captivating fascinating woman he’d ever known, and sometimes she was so gorgeous it hurt. He thought she was also frustrating, complicated, hot-headed and careless. All in all, she was a spectacular package. Maybe it was because they’d spent so much time together lately, but he’d been thinking that maybe he didn’t move on with his romantic life, because he’d already been with the most amazing woman he’d ever known. She suggested that was the wine talking and that he didn’t mean what he was saying. He insisted that he really felt this way. “I have never stopped loving you and I don’t think I ever will,” he said. She was caught off guard, but he didn’t think she should be that shocked. He made it clear that he knew she’d moved on and that their time was over. He knew she was happy with… “With Nick. That’s a fact,” she said. He told her he truly deeply loved her, and he couldn’t stop. Phyllis went to get Jack some water so he could hydrate after his wine. When she returned, he was asleep. She covered him in a throw blanket, then she knelt next to him and put her hand on his arm for a moment. Phyllis quietly left.

Sally told Victor that his home was lovely. His invitation caught her by surprise, but who could say no to the great Victor Newman? She assumed she was summoned here because of what happened at the launch party. He clarified that he wanted to get to know her a little better. He offered her a drink, and she mentioned the single malt scotch she had with Adam the other day. He poured the drink and asked if Adam introduced her to it. She was vaguely aware of it before, but it was out of her price range. He noted that she’d gone from Lauren’s assistant to head of JCV, a job his granddaughter held first. Sally assumed this was about Summer.

Sally said that Nikki already conveyed how she felt about Sally, and she assumed Victor shared his wife’s sentiment. Victor stated that he was upset that she caused Summer distress. He said if he’d intervened earlier, things would’ve turned out differently. She took that as a threat, but he said it wasn’t. He stated that she and Adam caused quite a stir at the party, and she prompted Phyllis to empty a bucket of water over her head. He said Adam was in a delicate situation with his son, and what Sally might consider harmless flirtation could have unwanted consequences. Sally mentioned that Chloe told her this earlier. Sally was sensitive to the situation, and she knew Adam wanted the best for his son. She suggested that Adam should be the one to make decisions for his son. She asked Victor if he should be dictating his adult son’s personal life, or hers, for that matter. He told her not to use his son as a way to salvage her lackluster career. “And arguing with me would be the worst mistake yet,” he added. Adam walked in and said he guessed he missed the memo about this meeting.

Victor said he invited Sally over because she needed to know certain things now that she was a member of Newman Media. Adam asked what kind of things. Sally said it was about Connor and what was going on between Adam and Chelsea. Adam asked Victor why he’d talk to Sally about Connor. Victor thought Sally needed to know the whole story. “Apparently he doesn’t trust you to communicate this information yourself,” Sally added. Victor hoped Sally made use of this information. Sally asked if she was being dismissed now that she was put in her place. Adam told Sally that she should go. Sally thanked Victor for the scotch, and she left. Adam asked Victor why he felt compelled to dump this on her. Victor knew Sally’s type – she was a social climber who was trying to cozy up to Adam. Victor said Adam talked for months about turning over a new leaf and becoming a good father to Connor, so what the hell happened?

Adam thought Victor was overreacting to the situation with Sally. He assumed Victor resented Sally because of the thing with Summer. Victor said this wasn’t about Summer, it was about Sally, a grasping social climber, latching onto Adam to use him. Adam said that Sally wasn’t using him – he’d never let that happen. Victor said Connor was fragile, and he felt the tension between his parents. Adam asserted that he was in tune to what was going on with his son, and it wasn’t about Sally. Victor had been impressed with Adam before, but now he thought Adam was going back to his old ways. “You’re gallivanting with that dame around town, rubbing it in people’s faces, trying to elicit some kind of reaction, not thinking about the consequences” Victor said. Adam was adamant that he’d always protect his child, and he didn’t need Victor micromanaging his life. Adam said Victor was the one slipping into old behaviors and trying to control Adam, which drove them apart in the past.

Nick and Sharon were happy to see each other when he went to Crimson Lights. He mentioned that Summer sent pictures of her and Harrison. Sharon was interested, so Nick showed them to her. He was about to show pictures of his nephew, Dominic, and Sharon said she met him in person when Abby brought him home from the hospital. He was adorable. Nick was glad Dom was healthy, given how he came into the world. He asked how Mariah was. Sharon thought the ordeal affected Mariah in ways she didn’t realize, but she had a strong loving support system. Nick hoped he was included in that group. Sharon said of course – Nick was family. She mentioned the New Hope – Newman Media partnership. She couldn’t get over him working with Adam. He said they’d been on their best behavior. She thought that it was incredible that Nick was giving Adam a chance to prove he changed – it was a testament to the kind of man Nick was. She asked how the party went, and Nick said it was great until Sally mixed it up with Phyllis. “Oh my gosh, what happened?,” Sharon asked. Nick reminded Sharon of the time she dumped a pitcher milk on Nikki’s head. He said it was something like that, except the milk was a giant champagne ice bucket, and it was at a giant party.

Sharon assumed she knew who started the Phyllis/Sally showdown. Nick wasn’t there when it happened, and Jack had been acting protective of Phyllis, downplaying her role in it. He said Jack got Phyllis out of there, and Adam took Sally away. Sharon was startled Adam was part of it, then she assumed he intervened as Sally’s boss. Nick clarified that he was pretty sure Adam was Sally’s date. Sharon said that was interesting. He looked at her expectantly until she told him not to expect some deeper feelings from her about it. “I said ‘Interesting.’ That’s it. Don’t read more into it.” Nick said there was a time he wasn’t sure she’d be able to detach from the mess that was Adam’s life, but he thought if anyone could help her do it, it was Rey. He thought they seemed happy. She said they were. He also knew that when it came to her history with Adam, it was never quite that simple.

Sharon already told Adam that the past was the past. She wasn’t secretly drawn to him. She was committed to her marriage. The way Nick looked at Sharon prompted her to insist that she was telling the truth. He believed her, but he knew she must be tempted to let Adam back into her life. He said Adam showed a different side – he saved Faith’s life, and he came back and rescued Nick in Kansas. Nick allowed Adam into his life. He understood it wasn’t so simple for Sharon, and he knew Adam was a source of tension in her marriage. Sharon couldn’t admit this to anyone except Nick, and given that he came around on Adam, she knew he’d understand. He said that he and Adam were far from best friends, but he understood how hard it was to want to see the good in Adam while also drawing a line. Sharon thought everyone needed someone in their life who really supported them, and she’d made herself that person for Adam. She paid the price, but Adam also proved her right. It was really difficult to try and completely turn her back on him. Nick asked if Rey understood. Sharon said she and Rey recommitted to their marriage, which Nick noted was not an answer to his question. He asked again if Rey understood that Sharon couldn’t completely cut Adam out of her life.

Sharon said that her relationship with Adam had changed significantly. “But Adam is still a part of your life. Looks like he always will be. And Rey knows that?,” Nick replied. She said she and Rey were as open and honest with each other as possible. She was sure Nick understood – things couldn’t be all smooth sailing with Phyllis. He said it actually kind of was. He knew Phyllis meant well so he’d stopped trying to put the breaks on her meddling. “You make that sound so easy,” Sharon said. He replied that he’d made a choice to accept Phyllis for who she was. Sharon conceded that all couples were different, but she did think that when a couple broke up and got back together, things could be better for them, as long as they were in agreement on what they wanted. Nick said he knew Sharon well enough to know something else was on her mind. Sharon said it wasn’t all that deep. She noted that he chose the sort of relationship he wanted with Phyllis – not with the crazy intensity he had last time, at least not the type that made him want to put his fist through the wall. He said last time he hurt a lot of people he cared about, particularly Sharon. Sharon said they didn’t have to revisit that time. He said he and Phyllis were older now, and maybe they figured out how to be in a relationship in a serene way. It didn’t have to be complicated.

Sharon understood why Nick would choose something easy and comfortable. He thought she meant he was looking for the path of least resistance, not real love and commitment. That wasn’t what Sharon meant. He inferred that she thought he was settling for Phyllis and that something was missing. Sharon didn’t mean to imply that. She was just making an observation. “But you said comfortable and easy,” he noted. He didn’t want her to take it the wrong way, but he could say the same thing about her and Rey. Sharon said she and Rey got each other, like Nick and Phyllis did. She felt it was good for any relationship to have friendship and trust. She was glad Nick and Phyllis were at that point and that they were happy. Nick was happy that Sharon was happy. Sharon had to go, as it was late. She asked if he wanted to help her close, and he laughed and said yes. They kept stealing looks at each other as they tidied up. When he turned out the lights, their eyes met for a moment, before she turned and kept cleaning. He watched her.

Sally went to Society and ordered their best scotch. The bartender asked if it was a special occasion. She said she was moving up in the world – apparently she’d become a target of the Newmans. Nikki ripped into her at the launch party, and Victor just summoned her to his home. She said Victor did that thing rich and powerful men do when they want something, but it’s supposed to feel like your idea. She toasted to her boss’s father, the jerk. Sally finished her drink and said it was Adam’s loss.

Sally got up and when she turned around, Adam was there. “My father made his point. Now I want to make mine,” he said, then he pulled her into a deep kiss. They went to the hotel, and they were so overcome with desire for each other that they barely stopped kissing as they unlocked the door to their suite. Adam kept calling Sally’s name, and this snapped her out of her fantasy. The kiss and trip to The Grand Phoenix never happened. She and Adam were still at Society. Adam asked if Sally was so mad she was pretending not to hear him. She said she was just distracted. He apologized for his father. However, talking to Victor got Adam to reevaluate, and he didn’t think he and Sally should see each other outside the office anymore. “Should. That’s a word that I have eliminated from my vocabulary,” she said.

Nick went to Phyllis’s room, and she was already in bed, seemingly asleep. He sat down on the bed and looked deep in thought. The rest of Sally’s speech to Adam played as a voice over on top of Nick and Phyllis’s scene. “You either choose to do something or you don’t. There is no should or shouldn’t,” Sally said. Nick glanced at Phyllis, who faced away from him. She opened her eyes. Sally’s statement continued: “No acting a certain way because that’s what’s expected of you.”

Jack was shown waking up, as Sally said “You decide what you want, no matter how people are going to react.”

“No matter how far outside it is from what is considered socially acceptable,” Sally stated as Sharon was shown putting the closed sign in the coffeehouse window.

“And if people don’t like it? That’s their problem. To hell with ‘em,” Sally was shown whispering into saying in Adam’s ear. She then left the restaurant.

Lily: Oh, my gosh! Look at that face!

Devon: I know. He’s a handsome guy.

Lily: So cute. And I love his name — dominic, with a “d,” in your honor.

Devon: Right?

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: That was unexpected. I didn’t — it was very special.

Lily: My gosh. And what a crazy story. It’s like, you guys just found mariah, and then the baby’s coming.

Devon: Oh, you have no idea. I have no idea what we would have done if I didn’t get nate on the phone to coach abby and me through everything.

Lily: Well, I’m sure the three of you would have figured it out.

Devon: Well, I’m glad i didn’t have to.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: So, what was it like bringing a new life into this world?

Devon: It was incredible. And, uh, abby was amazing through it all. She stayed calm and reassuring.

Lily: Yeah. What about mariah?

Devon: I mean, what can you say about her? She was…heroic. She stayed strong through everything that she went through, from being kidnapped to trapped in a room for a weeks.

Lily: I am so happy that you and abby made it there in time for the delivery ’cause she must have been terrified.

Devon: Oh, yeah. It was just — it’s — it was all a blur, you know? But I will definitely never forget the feeling of just holding dominic in my arms for the first moments of his life.

Lily: Man, what a thrill to experience that.

Devon: I know. Yeah. I knew that I would feel a connection with him because of our dna, but this is just — this is something else.

Abby: Well, can’t we just get someone to fill in, like a bartender or something? No, no, no, we cannot go without a hostess. Okay, yeah, just — just figure it out and call me back.

Mariah: Problem?

Abby: [ Sighs ] We are short-staffed at society. One of our hostesses called in sick.

Mariah: Oh, bummer.

Abby: Yeah. You know, if tessa didn’t have a gig tonight, I would ask her to pick up a shift [Chuckles] For old time’s sake.

Mariah: Well, if you need someone to watch the baby, I can do it.

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. I-I don’t want to impose.

Mariah: It’s — really, it’s not a big deal, you know? He’s crashed out, so I’d probably just be sitting here doing what I was gonna do anyway, reading a book, maybe watching a little tv.

Abby: [ Sighs ] That’s very sweet. I just — it feels like too much.

Mariah: Abby, you’re not asking me to do anything. I volunteered. And I know you won’t make a habit of it, so… really. I’m happy to do it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Elena: Hey.

Victoria: Oh, hello.

Nate: Hey.

Ashland: So glad you could make it.

Nate: Hey. Well, thank you for the invite.

Victoria: Uh, ashland, this is dr. Elena dawson. This is my fiancé — ashland locke.

Elena: It’s lovely to meet you.

Ashland: The pleasure’s all mine.

Elena: You know, it’s been ages since we’ve both had two nights off in a row.

Nate: Almost never happens.

Elena: Yeah. So we get to enjoy and relax tonight.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Fabulous.

Ashland: Well, we have some appetizers on the way. We should probably get you some drinks.

Nate: Great idea.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Looks like the initial reviews are positive. “Newman media launch event set just the right tone.”

Victor: Ah. You mean not even a mention of phyllis dumping an ice bucket over that woman?

Adam: No. I haven’t seen it mentioned yet.

Victor: You mean chanccomm hasn’t said anything?

Adam: Wasn’t that hard to suppress.

Victor: Whoa. One viral video would have undermined everything you and i were trying to accomplish, you know.

Adam: Uh-huh. Um, I actually — I have to get going. I have dinner plans.

Victor: The meeting with northern brands? You know, that cfo had actually a rather interesting idea.

Adam: Uh, we have a video chat scheduled later this week to go over it, so… anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow.

Victor: Hey, son. You’re not meeting that woman, are you?

Adam: Which woman would that be?

Victor: You know, that spectra woman, whatever the hell her name is.

Adam: [ Sighs ] As a matter of fact, I am. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Jack: What a lovely surprise.

Lauren: I probably should have called first.

Jack: Nonsense. I’m always happy to see you. What brings you by?

Lauren: Well, michael was working late. He’s preparing for the sutton ames trial. And I was on my own, and i thought, “hmm.” Would you like to join me for dinner?

Jack: Well, I’m not sure i want to go back out, but I’d love the company. How’s chinese takeout sound?

Lauren: Ooh. Sounds delicious.

Victor: That woman threw a drink into phyllis’s face at an event that you and I had been planning. If I were you, I’d see to it that she seeks employment elsewhere, okay?

Adam: Maybe phyllis had it coming.

Victor: This a joke to you or what?

Adam: Sally let her temper get the best of her after phyllis provoked her. It was both of their faults.

Victor: Can you blame phyllis after what that woman has done to summer?

Adam: Bottom line — I’m not interested in getting involved in their personal details, okay? I’m focused on business.

Victor: You’re focusing on monkey business. This is the second night you’re spending with this woman.

Adam: I’m not “spending the night” with her. We’re grabbing a bite. It’s a working dinner.

Victor: Working dinner, huh? Is that what they call it now? If I were you, son, I would strategize with me how to defeat chanccomm.

Adam: You’re just — you’re just not gonna let this go, are you?

Victor: No.

Adam: Fine. We can talk about it, but not right now because I’m late. Sally’s probably waiting for me. So I will see you tomorrow. Alright?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: What do you say later on we go back to victoria’s hot tub?

Victoria: Do you want to have a nightcap?

Elena: Yeah.

Nate: You have a hot tub?

Victoria: Yeah, it’s just one of those above-the-ground ones.

Elena: I thought you didn’t even…

Nate: This latest generation of robots gives us the kind of precision we could only dream about. Look, the nav-system uses 3-d imaging, which offers surgical teams mind-blowing, real-time mapping capabilities.

Elena: He means there’s no lag time with the video, so we can see what we’re doing while we’re doing it.

Nate: Sorry. I geek out a little bit.

Victoria: And this is all happening inside the patient through a tiny incision?

Nate: It’s cutting edge of what’s possible now. And it’s the type of technology we’ll be able to purchase thanks to your generous donation.

Ashland: Well, this is really exciting stuff. However —

Nate: Enough with the shop talk. Got it.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll send you written updates on how the hospital uses the funds.

Ashland: That works for me.

Elena: So, now that our professional lives are off the table, what should we talk about?

Ashland: Anything and everything, as long as we steer clear of my situation.

Elena: Actually, there is something that I want to discuss — your wedding plans.

Victoria: Oh. Well, um, that just happens to be my favorite subject.

[ Laughs ] I looked on ancestry and just started digging

Victoria: Well, the details are — well, they’re still coming together.

Nate: Sounds like you thought of everything.

Elena: Yeah, it’s like the ultimate destination wedding. An italian palazzo? How dreamy is that?

Nate: I imagine it must be a challenge trying to organize an event this elaborate from another continent?

Victoria: Well, yes. Thankfully, my mother’s found someone there to coordinate it.

Elena: So, tell me about the dress.

Victoria: Well, um, I haven’t nailed down a designer yet, but I’m waiting to talk to summer’s boss — angelina marchetti. I’m not holding my breath. I know she’s really in demand. She might not have time to do it, so I might have to move on as the date approaches.

Elena: Ugh, that is such a hard decision. Honestly, the dress is the most important part.

[ Laughter ] You laugh, but it’s true. Have you decided on a style yet?

Victoria: Oh, nothing over the top, but at the same time, the aesthetic of the ceremony is certainly not minimalistic.

Elena: I totally get it. This wedding is gonna infuse so much joie de vivre. You need a dress that goes in line with that.

Ashland: Yes! Joie de vivre. That is exactly the spirit of this event — the joy of life.

Adam: Well, well. Good evening, everyone.

Nate: Adam.

Elena: Hi.

Victoria: I see you’re with sally. Maybe you’ve finally found your perfect match.

Adam: It certainly seems you two have. I couldn’t be happier for you both.

Ashland: Thank you, adam. Enjoy your evening.

Adam: You too. Sally. I’m late. I know. I’m sorry. I, um — I got held up at the office.

Sally: It’s no problem.

Your table’s ready. If you’ll follow me… enjoy.

Adam: Thank you.

Sally: Well, you get such a kick of that, don’t you? Tweaking them, not letting their little slings and arrows get to you.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s a game. You develop a thick skin.

Sally: I think there’s a lot I can learn from you.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: So, tell me about the trip that amanda’s taken.

Devon: Oh, yeah. She and naya and imani decided they need a getaway.

Lily: What? That’s a big step for them.

Devon: It’s a huge step. I think it’ll be a good way for them to heal some wounds. You know, this whole saga with sutton and his involvement in richard’s death has — it’s really taken a toll on them.

Lily: Well, I mean, those are big things to get over, but I’m glad that they’re trying to, especially as a family.

Devon: Yeah, and it meant a whole lot to amanda because they suggested it.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure.

Devon: So, where’s billy tonight?

Lily: Um, he is at home with the kids.

Devon: Nice.

Lily: I wanted to, uh, give them some alone time. I know how much they love having their dad all to themselves. So, I get to have time with you, hang out, catch up.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy how we have so much family stuff going on in our lives right now?

Lily: Oh, my gosh, I know, right?

Devon: It’s wild. You’re taking care of billy’s kids. We’re both looking after moses.

Lily: Mm-hmm. It takes a village, you know, which we’re all a part of. And now dominic and his parents are, too.

Devon: Yeah. And chance and I are technically family.

Lily: Yeah, through the katherine connection. Going strong.

Devon: And that’s the main reason, too, why I wanted to be the donor, is so that dominic could have that connection.

Lily: Well, now you and chance can work together to make sure that he’s just surrounded by nothing but love, which i know is what you wanted.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: But I’m also sensing a little shift in you since the baby’s been born?

Mariah: Okay, bowie. Okay. Shh! I know! I know. I know. I know. I know. Come on, kid, you got to work with me here. I changed your diaper. I sang you a lullaby. Come on. Please. What do you need? What can I do for you, okay? You — you won’t take your bottle, so — shh. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shh. Please, I would do anything for you. I would do anything in the world for you. You know that.

[ Sighing ] Oh, god.

[]

Lauren: Ooh. Okay. Spicy beef for you.

Jack: Cashew chicken for you.

Lauren: That’s right!

Jack: Fantastic. Thank you.

Lauren: Okay. So, you were saying?

Jack: Oh, I was saying harrison apparently loves pizza in italy even more than he loves pizza here. Summer sent me this wonderful video of him helping her cook.

Lauren: Uh, “helping” being a relative term when you’re talking about a 3-year-old.

Jack: Actually, you’d be amazed. This kid is ahead of the curve. Now, they have this little place outside milan, and it has an outdoor pizza oven. And he was adding the cheese just so.

Lauren: Aww. Sounds so adorable.

Jack: Most amazing thing about this kid is he is adaptable. I mean, he has adjusted to life in europe in no time flat.

Lauren: Well, that’s what kids do. They’re really good at adapting. But he must miss his mom. I mean, they were so attached.

Jack: Yeah, that was the one authentic thing about that woman. She was committed to her little boy, fiercely so, it turned out.

Lauren: Well, I almost felt sorry for her. I don’t think she knew what she was getting herself into, taking on phyllis.

Jack: No, and I regret ever pressuring phyllis to lay off of her and sally, but her instincts were exactly on target, as usual.

Lauren: Yeah. Yeah. Our dear friend has a real gift for being able to read people.

Jack: And now summer and kyle owe their happiness to her.

Lauren: That is true. And phyllis will never let them forget that.

Jack: Oh, you can bet she won’T.

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: So, they’re playing the processional. All the guests are standing up, looking towards the back of the church at the bride’s father, who is standing there alone in the vestibule, wondering where the heck his daughter is.

Victoria: Uh-oh.

Ashland: Had she fled the premises?

Nate: No, nothing that dramatic. Apparently, she had went back to the bride’s room for something blue and told her attendants to go on ahead. Well, as she was rushing up the stairs in her high heels, she falls and twists her ankle.

Victoria: Oh, no!

Nate: Yes. The poor groom is dying a thousand deaths, thinking he’s been stood up at the altar.

[ Chuckles ] Well, long story short, the bride was found. I grabbed my medical bag and taped up her ankle. The ceremony went on as planned. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to join in on the electric slide.

[ Laughter ]

Ashland: Well, it seems like you’re the right man to have on hand in a crisis.

Nate: Always pays to have a doctor in the house. Which reminds me of the time i was a groomsman for one of my college buddies —

Elena: Alright, no more, no more, no more.

[ Laughter ] Enough wedding horror stories. That’s the last thing we need to hear.

Victoria: Well, I could tell a few of my own, so this is good. I’m taking notes on how to avoid disaster so that our day will be perfect.

Ashland: Mwah!

Sally: I am really glad that we downshifted from a date to a working dinner.

Adam: You are, huh?

Sally: Yeah. And we can ignore all those “what not to do on a date” rules. Like, I wore my comfy shoes. And you were 20 minutes late.

Adam: Okay, those are not comfy shoes. And I’m sorry about that.

Sally: It’s fine. Really. This is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s better than if you bailed. And I’m guessing there was pressure on you to do that.

Adam: Um…

Sally: Yeah, that’s what i thought. It’s fine. Really. This is not my first time hanging out with a real sob — son of a billionaire…

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Sally: …Who didn’t realize he was one growing up.

Adam: Really? You don’t say.

Sally: Yeah. There’s a lot more of you out there than you might think. You could start a club. Or a support group.

Adam: Uh, I think that we should get down to business. Did you, um — you bring some sample designs?

Sally: Mnh-mnh. You’re gonna have to wait on that ’cause I’m starving since you were —

Adam: Yes. Late. Sorry…again.

Elena: Cooking podcasts. I’m obsessed.

Victoria: Oh, my god.

[ Chuckling ] Me too!

Elena: Really?

Victoria: Yes! The more complicated, the better.

Elena: What? I didn’t know you liked to cook.

Victoria: No, I hate it. I’m terrible.

Ashland: Oh, don’t listen to her. She makes a fine grilled cheese.

Victoria: Well, I mean, only if I’m really paying attention, but if I try to get too fancy, then forget it.

Elena: I totally get that.

Victoria: It’s like that, you know, fantasy element, creating the perfect dish with that wild presentation.

Elena: Like an edible flower sprinkled on a plate?

Victoria: Yes, exactly that.

Elena: I’m an okay cook, and I kind of enjoy it, but, honestly, who has the time?

Victoria: Mm.

Elena: I’m lucky if I can heat up my takeout before devouring it.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: And my former roommate, the chef, would be appalled if she saw the way I’ve been eating lately.

Nate: Mnh, I beg to differ. Lola would be impressed as hell with what you’re doing with your time. You’re making a huge difference in a lot of lives.

Elena: Mm.

Victoria: Well, I am gonna go freshen up.

Elena: I think I’m gonna join you.

Ashland: That’s the face of a man who knows precisely how lucky he is.

Nate: I certainly do.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Amanda asked me that same question — if I regret stepping up to be the donor or, you know, a part of dom’s extended family. And my answer is no. I knew how important it was for abby and chance to start a family, and I’m still happy that I was able to help them do it.

Lily: Yeah, so am I, but you know if your answer were different, I wouldn’t judge you, right?

Devon: Yeah, of course I do.

Lily: ‘Cause I know what it’s like to be in abby’s shoes, you know, needing a surrogate. So I know the thoughts that can go through your head, and I want you to know I’m here if you ever want to talk about any of it.

Devon: I don’t know. Just when I think of that first moment that I held dominic and when I heard him take his first few breaths, you know, in life, I — I just remember I had that thought and that feeling of, “this is it, and this is — this is what it’s really like to be a father.” And, you know, it just brought up a lot of emotions.

Lily: Yeah, well, especially ’cause you should have been a father awhile ago. You know, how could you not think about hillary and the baby that you lost?

Devon: Yeah. I mean, I’m — I’m sure she’s smiling, looking down, proud.

Lily: But you miss her… and your baby.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: And I want you to know that you can talk to me about any of that, as well. You know, I — I won’t make it about my own feelings of guilt. I just — I just want to be here for you, if you’ll let me.

Devon: I appreciate that. I do.

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Mariah? Mariah, hey, uh, I found someone to come in to work, so you’re off the hook. Mariah? Okay, uh, maybe — maybe she’s, uh, feeding him, uh, or rocking him. Mariah? Mariah? Not touching is still touching protection.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: Was it wrong of me to want the forresters to include my designs in their couture collection out of sympathy, knowing I was at death’s door? Maybe. Yes. But it didn’t hurt anyone, right? I mean, especially since those designs were good.

Adam: If you do say so yourself.

Sally: Ridge and eric are businessmen first. They would not have included them otherwise. And if they actually made it down the runway, I believe they would have been huge sellers. It would have been a win-win for both of us.

Adam: I mean, when you think about it, you were doing them a favor.

Sally: You know what? When it comes to my career, i refuse to be humble. I am one hell of a good designer. I just have the unfortunate tendency of getting in my own way, which I am working on. And I have a feeling you can relate.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You’re not wrong.

Ashland: Harrison seems to be quite taken with gelato.

Nate: Chocolate and vanilla. Good man.

Ashland: You have kids?

Nate: Not yet, but, um, someday hopefully. I’ve learned that, uh, you can’t always make firm plans when it comes to your personal life.

Ashland: The way you said that — have you ever been married?

Nate: I was engaged once. Uh, she passed.

Ashland: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Nate: Thank you.

Ashland: It makes even more sense now, why you don’t react to me the way others do since my diagnosis. You don’t have that same squeamishness or distance that i sense in others. I assumed it was because you’re a doctor, but there’s more to it. You’ve gone through your own personal loss and grief. You don’t see it as foreign or frightening.

Elena: Ah. They seem to be getting along well.

Victoria: You know, nate stepped up for ashland in a big way after his first chemo session. He brought him home. He let him talk. He gave him some really good advice. He’s a good man.

Elena: Yeah. He is.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: Let’s see. “I cannot help you, for I am only a cookie.”

Lauren: It does not say that!

Jack: Oh, no, it doesn’t say that. Let me see. We’ll play a little trombone here.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Uh, “your love life will soon be happy and harmonious.” Oh, we can only pray.

Lauren: Well, and you deserve that to come true.

Jack: I don’t know about that.

Lauren: Yes, you do.

Jack: I am thrilled, though, that summer and kyle have found their way back to each other.

Lauren: Yeah. What’s the update on their wedding?

Jack: Well, they are planning a small civil ceremony in italy, in contrast to what ashland locke and victoria are planning.

Lauren: Right, and quite a contrast from what kyle and summer were planning, as well, before all this craziness happened and they got derailed.

Jack: You know what? I’m glad they took things down a bit. I think they learned a lesson. They have everything they need to be happy right now, without all the extras.

Lauren: Mm. And what about you, my friend? Do you have everything you need to be happy?

Lily: So, how is abby dealing with chance being gone now that the baby’s here? I know having a family was their dream. It must be so hard for her to not have him here to share that with her.

Devon: Yeah, of course it is. She’s — she’s just staying strong and trying to keep the faith that he’s gonna come home to her soon.

Lily: And you took my advice, right?

Devon: About what? Not ragging on chance in front of her?

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I know that you were resenting him for not being here when she needed him.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, no, I — I told you I wasn’t gonna say that to her. It was just the last thing she needed to hear.

Lily: And now?

Devon: I mean, now I just kind of feel sorry for him ’cause there’s a lot of big moments that have happened that he’s never gonna get back. And I think when he’s home, it’s really gonna hit him hard.

Lily: Does he even know he has a son?

Devon: He’s gone deeper undercover, and we can’t get any messages to him. So I started to wonder if maybe it’s safer that he doesn’t know.

Lily: Well, look, I’m sure when he gets home, he’s gonna be very grateful to you for looking after abby and his son.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Hey, abby. What’s up?

Abby: Hey, have you heard from mariah?

Devon: Not recently. Why?

Abby: I had to go in to society for a bit, and mariah offered to watch dom, but I got home and they are gone. There’s no note or anything.

Devon: I assume you called her cellphone. Did it just go to voicemail or what?

Abby: Well, she left her phone at home. That’s weird, right? I mean, I’m trying not to freak out, but —

Devon: Yeah, no, don’t freak out. Don’t freak out at all. Um, just give me a minute, and I’ll be right over, okay?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Devon: So, abby got back home from work, and mariah and the baby aren’t where she expected them to be.

Lily: Well, no. Go, please. You need to be there.

Devon: Okay. Thank you. Will you lock up before you go?

Lily: Yeah, of course, of course.

Devon: Okay. See you later.

Lily: Yeah.

[ Door closes ] Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Jack: I thought you were gonna stop pestering me about my romantic life — or lack thereof.

Lauren: When did I agree to that?

[ Laughs ] Come on. I’m just checking in.

Jack: Yeah, sure.

Lauren: I know that you had a really amazing time having kyle and harrison here. The house must feel very quiet without them.

Jack: Oh, boy, does it. I got used to all the noise and commotion and excitement, looking forward to the holidays, having a funny, happy kid like harrison around for halloween. Boy, it doesn’t get better than that.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe they can come for a visit.

Jack: Yeah. I mean, sure they can. I’m still gonna have to get used to all the quiet in this house. And all the extra time I have on my hands. You know, thank god I’ve got work. I can pour myself into jabot and the abbott-winters foundation.

Lauren: Right, but that’s for your mind. You need something to fill your heart. You need a passion, and it doesn’t necessarily need to be romantic.

Jack: You know what? I have come to the conclusion that I’ve had my share of grand passions. Now looking after harrison, being “grandpa” — that’s what fed my heart. Soothing his little worries, exciting his imagination, teaching him the things that my father taught me. I mean, I can do those things over the phone, some of them, but it’s just not the same thing.

Lauren: You know, I’ve never thought of being a grandparent in those terms. The way you talk about it, it sounds very appealing. Of course, my sons aren’t even close to settling down, so…

Jack: I’m telling you, the day is gonna come, and when it does, trust me — you are gonna love it.

Victoria: I have a lovely cabernet in the kitchen.

Elena: Sounds great. I’ll help you.

Ashland: Please.

Nate: So, uh, will victoria’s kids be going to italy for the wedding?

Ashland: Oh, you know, I’m hoping that they can make it. Tuscany is absolutely gorgeous in the fall, and I’d love for them to see it.

Nate: Yeah. I, um — I went there with my mother when I was young. Still remember it. We went all over — tuscany, umbria, le marche.

Ashland: Nice.

Nate: I also saw quite a bit of europe when I was in boarding school. But I haven’t been back since.

Ashland: Why don’t you and elena join us at the wedding? Victoria and I would love to have you there. Uh…I know it might be a little presumptuous, and you can clearly say no, but, uh… I-I-I’d — I’d like for you to be my best man.

Nate: Wow, uh, that’s, uh, quite generous of you. Are you sure? I mean, we’re still getting to know each other.

Ashland: No, you know, I’ve always been able to size up people pretty quickly. You are a brilliant and kind man who has a — a deeper understanding of what I’m going through than most and…

Nate: I’m sure you have friends in new york you could ask.

Ashland: Yeah, I’m sure, but, I mean, to be quite honest, they’re mostly people I’ve met through work. The connections were more professional than personal, you know? I’m just not in that world right now. And, quite frankly, most people are clearly having a difficult time with my medical situation. Anyway, just think about it. There’s no pressure. I-I-I-I would love to have you and elena join us for the ceremony. It’s gonna be a blast.

Nate: Joie de vivre.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: From beginning to end.

Mariah: Hi.

Abby: Oh, my god. Hi. Where have you been?

Mariah: Oh, uh, bowie — sorry — uh, dominic was crying his head off, and I had no idea what to do. So I called the pediatrician, and he said that going out for a walk might help. And look. It worked.

Abby: Okay, I-I just, um — you didn’t leave a note or — you didn’t bring your phone. I mean, I had no way of getting a hold of you.

Mariah: Oh. Sorry. Yeah. I — when the baby cries, my brain short-circuits. It must be the hormones. But, um, everything is fine. I’m sorry if you got worried.

Abby: It’s just, the last time you disappeared with the baby, I mean, you were gone for three weeks. I almost called the police.

Mariah: Oh. Again, I’m — I’m really, really sorry, but we were just out for a walk on the grounds. That’s all. No need for alarm.

Abby: Yeah. Hi, baby. Hi.

Adam: I like the simplicity of the lines. And yet there’s a — there’s a richness to it. You have a specific bride in mind, which is a good thing. Even though, uh, victoria might not be inclined to choose a design from a woman who works for the company that’s owned by her black-sheep brother.

Sally: So, that’s it, huh? Just enough commentary to prove that it was a working dinner in case anyone asks?

Adam: Is there something more that you want me to say?

Sally: I’m just mainly curious as to why you agreed to come out with me since we’ve established this was not a date, but also really wasn’t about work. We could have had this five-minute conversation in the office.

Adam: I mean, isn’t it obvious at this point? I’m here for the scintillating conversation.

Sally: Or maybe you were hoping that the news of this non-date would get back to someone in particular and make them jealous?

Adam: Oh! Maybe you were hoping that jack would hear about it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] You know, I actually haven’t thought about him once since we sat down.

Adam: Really?

Sally: I was too busy enjoying myself. And whether or not you want to admit it, I think you have been, too.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Well, thank you for a wonderful evening.

Victoria: Well, we’re really glad that you could join us. It’s been a wonderful change of pace.

Ashland: Yes, it has. We’ll have to do this again soon. And you will get back to me at some point?

Nate: Definitely.

Victoria: Okay.

Ashland: You guys get home safely.

Nate: Alright.

Elena: Thanks.

Nate: You have a good evening.

Ashland: You do the same. Thank you.

[ Exhales heavily ]

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: I’m fine. I may have to take it easy tomorrow, but it was worth it to have an evening like this.

Victoria: Well, I hope we have many more like it.

Ashland: I will do my best to give us that.

Abby: Sorry. It was a false alarm. Mariah just took the baby out to get some air, and she thought she’d be back before anyone noticed.

Mariah: Devon. Hi. I’m — I didn’t realize that abby called you. I’m sorry if this ruined your evening.

Devon: Oh, no, you didn’t ruin anything at all. But I’m gonna text lily and let her know everything’s okay.

Abby: And I am gonna bring this little guy to bed. Be right back. Come on, baby. Let’s go.

Mariah: I apologize. I-I just didn’t want to bother abby at work, and I figured i could handle it on my own. Then the baby started crying his head off. I had no idea what to do. I was worried that he might be sick or something, so I even called the pediatrician.

Devon: You did exactly what you were supposed to do. What did he say?

Mariah: Well, he said that a walk sometimes can lull a baby to sleep, so I tried it, and it did the trick.

Devon: Nice.

Mariah: But I just — I got so panicky and flustered, I-I forgot my phone, and I am kind of embarrassed. I crumbled under the pressure.

Devon: It doesn’t sound like that’s what you did. It sounds like you asked an expert for advice and then you did exactly what the baby needed and everything worked out fine. I’m actually happy that you were with dom and you followed your natural instincts.

Mariah: Man, this being a mom thing is not for wimps. It’s a lot harder than it looks.

Devon: Yeah.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Dr. Jen ashton and her finakes — a little out of your jurisdiction, don’t you think? I thought you gave up P.I. Work to run your club. Well, you know what they say — you can take the man out of the P.I. Business, but you can’t take the P.I. Out of the man. Anyway, portia and I got roger barstow to agree to meet with us. Well, I called the local police department before I came, and I also let them know that I was seeking to interview roger barstow. Okay. Cards on the table. Roger barstow might have records connected to drew cain. He may also be connected to naomi dreyfus’ murder. That’s what I think of your restraining order. I hope you realize this could land you in jail. That document is worthless. It’s practically a joke. Well, you know, it’s been about eight months…and one stalker since I’ve been in the mood for jokes. And tearing up that order doesn’t make it any less valid, and you’re violating it right now! All I have to do is call the cops, and you’ll be arrested. You never mentioned a restraining order. Why are you doing this?! To protect us from the stalker, nikolas! Since you won’t! What did you just say? I didn’t say anything to you, spencer. I was talking to esme. Sounds more like you were accusing her. And that you sound defensive. Wonder why. It’s a simple question, esme. Have you seen kiki jerome’s hospital I.D. Badge before? Wait. When was the last time that you — you saw your mom? I-I don’t know. 15, 20 minutes maybe. We were supposed to start getting ready for the wedding, and now she’s nowhere to be found. Okay. Then we need to figure out where she could have gone. Nina: Mm. Mm… so what now? Uh, I think — I think this occasion calls for a trip to philadelphia.

[ Laughs ] What? Why? Well, no, look, we’re gonna find a great restaurant, we’re gonna afterwards listen to great music, and we’re just gonna do it up. “Do it up.” That sounds great. Yeah. All right. Great. Now, I got to get organized here and sort some things out, so… I’ll pick you up in a couple of hours. I can’t wait. Ooh!

[ Smooches ] Ooh. All right. All right. I’ll see you later. See you later.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Chuckles ] Jax! Hey. You don’t seem happy to see me. I’m — I’m just in the m-middle of something, and you’re not exactly local. Why do you just show up like this? Look. I don’t want to hold you up from your business, but, uh, my issue’s pressing. Well, whatever issue you have, if it’s not crimson, we’re no longer together, so it doesn’t involve me. Right. Well, I disagree. Because my business

is you… and what I think you’ve been up to here in nixon falls.

and now we have to start asking, how is drew’s disappearance connected to naomi dreyfus’ murder? You know, everyone thinks peter august is responsible for drew’s disappearance. But what does peter have to do with naomi? Or hayden barnes, for that matter. Are you helping curtis with the investigation? Well, apparently, mr. Barstow had medical records from the clinic where he used to work. Crichton-clark. Yeah. So he would be more likely to share those records with a doctor. And I thought it would be, you know, a fun little adventure to ride along on an investigation, but now that I’m here in the middle of nowhere, I-I’m not really so sure. Well, if we find the right information, we could unmask a murderer, maybe help two families find answers to questions about missing loved ones. Right. Well, when you put it that way, it’s easier to get on board. Okay. Um… but looks like we’re not gonna get any answers today. I-I mean, it doesn’t look like anyone’s home. Yeah, the door’s locked, and the house is dark. Maybe mr. Barstow got spooked and he took off. Maybe he’s here, and he’s lying low. What are the odds that your lead on naomi dreyfus’ murder would lead you to the same crichton-clark medical-records keeper that I think could shed a light on drew’s plane crash? Could the cases be connected? Drew’s relationship with crichton-clark is obvious. It’s where he was held up until the point that robin scorpio-drake revived him and helped him escape. So what’s the link to naomi? Well, roger barstow and naomi dreyfus flew to the U.S. Together and booked their seats together. I don’t know why, but I was hoping that mr. Barstow could explain. You doubt that I have done everything humanly possible to protect you? All you did was terrorize your son and his friends and drive spencer from your home! I made a mistake. I legitimately thought — y-you thought your own son would use my worst nightmare against us and copycat ryan chamberlain? And then you went to war over it. Yes. I did. But only to keep our marriage intact. At the expense of your relationship with your only child. Did it ever occur to you that I may not be able to live with that on my conscience? That I’ve already lived the very worst outcome of taking one’s child for granted. That I wouldn’t be able to bear watching you make the same mistake. You — you can justify your behavior with all good intentions… but that’s not gonna get you your son back. And it’s done nothing to appease the actual stalker. And you’re not helping by showing up at kiki’s grave, here in my gallery, uninvited, unimpeded by the guard you hired! Paul will keep you safe from the stalker. Who’s gonna keep me safe from you?! Every time you force yourself into my life, you put me in danger! Worse, you put avery in danger! That is unacceptable! Yeah, which is why you are leaving port charles! So why add a restraining order on top of it? What’s the point?! The point… is the cover it provides. For what? More severe tactics.

[ Door opens, footsteps approach ] I don’t understand. You want to know if I’ve seen someone’s badge at a local hospital which I’ve never visited before? How random is that? Not someone’s badge. The badge that belonged to ava’s daughter, kiki, or, as you referred to her, lauren. That’s not her name? Kiki, lauren. What’s the difference? No one refers to kiki by her given name, but it was on her hospital I.D. Badge, the one they found near ava’s burning car courtesy of the stalker. When kiki was murdered, her full name was all over the news. “Lauren katherine jerome.” I’m sure spence mentioned it to me at some point. We talk about his father and the family he married into all the time. Because you’re so interested? Of course. Everything about spence is interesting to me. I mean, don’t you take an interest in your boyfriend’s family? Come on, trina. Esme has been in town for all of five minutes. Do you really expect her to know all the ins and outs of everybody who’s loosely connected to me? How would she know whether my stepmother’s dead daughter went by lauren or kiki? And what would it matter if she did? You know what? Why don’t we just take this conversation inside? ‘Cause I never got to see the inside of the famous tan-o the last time I was here for obvious reasons. Besides, it’s getting pretty hot out here. No. Jax. Um, jax! Wow. Place is getting renovated, huh? Um, yeah, they’re — they’re just gonna redo the ceiling and maybe some painting, I think. Yeah. Bit of a fixer, this place, huh? Quite a contrast to deception offices. You know, jax, I have no idea why you think my life is any of your business. My life is of no concern to you. Why are you so nervous? I’m not nerv– it’s just — you know what? You show up here ignoring my wishes. I made it perfectly clear that I did not want you here. Jax, we do not have a future together. I know that we don’t have a romantic future together. Besides, there’s, uh, someone new in your life, right? Mike, is it?

look, I’m sure you hadsomething important to do, but you took off without telling anyone, and we really need to start wedding prep, so just call me back, please. All right. I checked with the guard. Your mom did leave 20 minutes ago in her own car, and she said she had to take care of something before the wedding. Like what? Maxie’s handling the details. My mom’s dress is already at the church. The makeup artist is meeting us there. Mom said she wanted to do her own hair. And if she changed her mind and decided to go to the salon, why wouldn’t she text me? And why isn’t she answering her phone? I don’t know. Let’s find out. Spinelli. Drop everything right now. I need you to do something for me. What do you know about mike? Oh, nothing really. I mean, I don’t know much about him at all. I actually went to ava to try to get some information about him, and she was very protective of you, by the way. But she did tell me that you were happy. So I just wanted to make sure that… you weren’t hurting yourself. Jax, mike… he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. When I found out that you and carly hid the identity of my daughter from me, my whole world derailed. And mike is the one that put it back together. When I needed understanding, mike provided that for me. When I needed space,

he gave that to me. And now you have the audacity to come in here unannounced and then cast doubt on a relationship with a man that you have never met? Where is this coming from? A jar of marinara sauce. What the hell are you talking about? I know. It sounds unbelievable. It couldn’t possibly be true. Then again, this “mike” sounds too good to be true. So I’ll make you a deal. I’ll leave town, and I will stop bugging you. And in return, I just want an introduction. I want to meet mike. Who are these two? Where’s paul? I paid him off and sent him home this morning. No, he would have contacted me if that happened. Maybe he was too busy cashing his bonus. In any case, meet bubba and floyd. They’re former ufo. Ufc. They’re former ufc. They were expelled for being too violent. Is this man bothering you, miss jerome? Never mind. Forget I said anything. Right, but, trina, that’s the thing. You did say something. And it’s not like we can pretend we didn’t hear you. Right, because I know how committed you are to honesty and transparency. You marched in here

all fired up, and you insinuated something pretty awful about esme. That she might be ava’s stalker? I think that we deserve an explanation, trina. It’s no secret how protective I am of ava. He’s been good to me, and she’s going through a really horrible time right now. She’s given up her daughter, her husband, and walking away from her entire life. For esme to show up to the gallery and “wish her well” was incredibly self-centered and, in a word, tacky… to a point where I started to wonder if esme’s interest in ava went beyond normal curiosity in her boyfriend’s family. Beyond the normal… to what exactly? Isn’t it strange that barstow agreed to meet us but isn’t here? Could have been innocent. Maybe he got called away. For whatever reason. Or perhaps it was a decoy, and he lured us here as a stall while he got the hell out of town.

[ Door opens ] Commissioner ashford, I know you didn’t just unlawfully enter. Jordan: Oh, of course not. I had probable cause. The window pane on the kitchen door was broken, from the outside. Glass was scattered all over the floor, so… signs of a potential crime scene. And? See for yourselves. I, uh, didn’t see anything that would indicate that anyone was still around. I need to call this in, and I still don’t have any service. Maybe if you get closer to the road? Why don’t I go try? Are you sure? Yeah, it’ll be out in the open. I’ll be fine. Okay. Um, I need to secure the scene for the local P.D. Okay. Yeah. There were some buildings out back. A garage, a shed. I’m gonna go check those out. Okay. Just a reminder — you’re not a cop, so don’t trespass or contaminate the crime scene. Copy that. One more thing. Be careful. You be careful.

Exactly what kind of interestdo you think I have with your boss? And what does her daughter’s name have to do with whether or not I’ve seen some hospital I.D. Badge? Why does it bother you that I’m looking out for ava? It was a simple mistake, guys. Let’s leave it at that. Can we do that, spence? Really? Your “friend” practically accused me of being your stepmother’s stalker. What’s going on here isn’t about me, and it certainly isn’t about ava and her late daughter. It’s about trina and you, spence. So let’s talk about

that elephant in the room. This is my ex-husband. He is very willfully violating the restraining order I have against him.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh! This is a collector in geneva. I have to take this. Fellas, I don’t want him violating the restraining order again. See to it he gets the message. Don’t worry. I’m leaving. Not yet! You know what to do. Wait! Not the face.

[ Groaning ] Damn. Still no service. Hope portia’s having better luck. Sir! Sir! I need you to answer me. Are you hurt? Sir! Roger barstow. Damn it. You can’t meet mike. Why not? For one thing, he’s not here. Well, I can wait. No. No, jax! That’s not a good idea! It’s a sweet deal, nina. I will leave you alone for good. I just want to make sure that I’m leaving you in the hands of someone that is not going to hurt you. He’s not gonna hurt me, jax, and, besides, you forfeited your right to care about me a long time ago! There you go again with the nervousness. I mean, what are you so afraid of? Jax, please. Just leave. Yeah, I know this extreme overreaction has nothing to do with my presence here. You’re in trouble. I can tell. Your intrusion is not welcome, and suddenly you feel like I’m in trouble? Nina, I came here because I still care about you. So talk to me. I can help you. Sonny: Is there a problem here?

[ Groaning ] Enough? Nope. I’m still not feeling any fear. Ava: No! Stop it! Oh, good god! What are you doing?! You said to make sure he got the message. Bubba! I meant intimidate him. You know? Scare him a little bit! Not actually hit him! Sorry. Our bad. Can you get up? Ohh! I’m gonna get some ice…

[ Sighs ] I hoped we could keep this between us girls, but maybe that was naive of me. I was so nervous about coming to spence’s hometown, afraid I wouldn’t make a single friend. Imagine how happy I was to meet you, trina. I mean, you’re smart, you’re down-to-earth, you love art just as much as I do. All the girls at boarding school were so fake and superficial. And here you were, the exact opposite, so authentic and evolved. I totally fell for it. I had no idea you were setting me up. But here you were spinning wild conspiracy theories about me, and why? The only explanation is that you want spence for yourself. There. I finally said it. Love you, too, grandma. Bobbie hasn’t seen her? Nope. This makes no sense. Why would she just take off? Did she get any texts? Did she get any calls that may have rattled her? I mean, she was a little distracted this morning, but in a “oh, my god, I’m getting married” way. Definitely not in a “I’m worried, there’s a crisis” way. Okay. Did anybody stop by to see her? Well, your mom was here. M-my mom? Do you — do you know what they talked about? No, no, I was out on the terrace with trina. I wasn’t a part of the conversation. But it looked like they were getting along fine. I mean, nobody makes an issue of it, but everyone knows that my mom and your mom don’t really get along. Because of A.J. What — what do you know about A.J.? Besides the fact that he’s michael’s biological father? I mean, I know that he had a lot of problems… and that when he and my mom got married, it was a total disaster and that that’s partly my mom’s fault. Did she tell you that? She said it was a long time ago and that everyone acted badly, except for you. She said that she made a hideous mess of things and that you stood by her anyway. And that if she didn’t love you before, she definitely loved you after.

[ Cellphone rings ] Spinelli. Were you able to track down carly’s phone? Okay. Yeah. No, I got it. No. I’ll take it from here. Thank you. Did he find her? I know where your mother is… and I know why she’s there. You’re alive. You’re the one who survived the firehouse dance, not me. Oh, right. And I-I’m very happy that, uh, you know, you bounced back from that bullet. But you’re gonna be in a world of hurt if you don’t stay away from nina. Jax. Wow. You wanted to meet mike. Here he is. “Mike.” You got a problem with my name?

[ Chuckles ] Ohh… boy, this whole situation is problematic, to put it mildly. You wanna fix it? Remove yourself from the tan-O. Yeah, I’m afraid that’s not gonna fix anything. Nina doesn’t want you around. I don’t want you around. Jax. Just leave. Everyone will be better off. Oh, I can think of a few dozen people that would disagree with you. But it’s not your call or business. For me? Please just leave. You know I can’t do that. Not after finding you here and living out some twisted fantasy. The only fantasy is the one in your head. You are not dragging nina back to her old life. She’s happy right here! And you’re happy here with nina, right? Because you can’t remember a damn thing, can you? What are you doing in my house?

Your house? Man, please. I know what the owner of this house looks like. And it ain’t you.

Curtis? Jordan? I’m back! Okay. I guess I’ll wait outside. Curtis? Is anyone down there? Jordan? Curtis? Oh, my god. Jordan. Jordan? Jordan? Can you hear me? Jordan?

[ Weakly ] What happened? Here. Come on. Come on. Let me help you up.

[ Groans ] I couldn’t get a signal, so I came back to the house, and everybody was gone. So, I saw the door open, and I decided to come down here and see what was going on. Aah. [ Winces ] Okay. Easy. You have a head injury. Okay. I think you have a concussion. Did you trip on something? What happened? Someone hit me. Probably the same person that did that. Is he dead? Yeah. Roger barstow won’t be giving us any information. Okay. This is no longer fun. We need to get out of here right now. Come on. Easy. Be careful. You got it? Yeah. It’s locked! Damn it! The door must have closed behind me.

[ Soft hissing ] Portia, what’s that sound?

[ Hissing ] I think it’s the gas pipe.

[ Grunts ] Why are you running? ‘Cause you’re chasing me. Yeah, well, you were in a ransacked house that doesn’t belong to you. What’d you take? I don’t have to answer to you. Oh, yeah? Look. Get up. The cops are on their way, so you don’t have to answer to me, but you better talk to somebody, and you can start about the owner of the house. Now, where is he? He’s with your lady friend. And that’s not a good thing for her.

[ Pounding ] Help us! Help us! Curtis, we’re locked here in the basement! Jordan, the more you yell, the more gas you’re gonna absorb. My phone still doesn’t have a signal. How is he going to know that we’re down here? We got to get out of here. And if we can’t, we got to find a way to get that gas out. I don’T…see any windows or anything anywhere. Maybe, um — storm door. Maybe there’s a storm door.

[ Pounding ] Help us! Oh, there’s got to be a way out of here. Damn it! A tool. A tool. Maybe I can find a tool or something we can use to open — open the door or turn off that gas.

[ Thud ] Jordan? Jordan. Jordan. Jordan. Oh, god. All right. Jordan? Honey, wake up. Come on. Esme — stop! Esme, that’s enough. Enough what? Truth? Trina knows exactly what I’m talking about. We talked about her crush on you the other day. Look, spence, beyond being rich and sophisticated, you’re also really handsome. I know it. And so does trina. I mean, I can’t blame her for being attracted to you. But when we talked the other day, I pitched her another option. Instead of us being catty rivals, I suggested we become friends. I thought we had an understanding, but clearly I was wrong. Trina decided to go the cliché route of trying to turn you against me. I honestly thought she was above that. It’s so… incredibly disappointing. I’m sure you’ll get over it. I know i will. Trina, hold on. No, listen, spence. You are rich and sophisticated, but let’s make one thing perfectly clear. You’re not handsome. Bubba, floyd, wait outside, please. Take your shirt off.

[ Groans ] I don’t think I can move my arms on my own. Ohh!

[ Groans ] Bubba and floyd might not understand the word “message,” but, uh, they get a 10 out of 10 for a job well done, wouldn’t you say? Stop talking. Ohh! What? Ah, I just — a little warning next time. All right. I’m warning you.

[ Chuckles ] Any place else hurt? I know that ploy. I’ve seen that movie. So? It’s a damn good movie. Mike, mike, mike. Wow. A man with no memory. Way to keep up, buddy. That’s old news. Yeah, when m-mike pulled himself out of the river last winter, he lost his memory, jax. Oh. He didn’t know who he was. He had no I.D. He just had a watch with an engraving “never enough time.” Right. “Love, A.” Mm-hmm. And no one — no one recognized him, huh? So — so you ask people to call you mike? That’s right. In this town, they love mike. They gave him a place to stay, a job. He’s happy here. He has a good life. Mm-hmm. And my life got a lot better when nina showed up to meet her old friend, phyllis. Mm-hmm. And what makes you assume this new life is better than your old one? How would I know? Why would I want to know if my life’s great now? As far as I’m concerned… nothing could improve what I have with nina. What you have? We love each other.

Trina. What happened? Come in. I’m sorry to just show up. I know you need to get ready for the wedding. No, it’s — it’s fine. But you’re obviously not. What happened? I just — I need to vent.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. I’m so sorry. Hold on just a second. That might be jason. “Found your mom.” “Thank you. Ask her if I should push back the makeup artist?” Okay, okay. Now that that’s settled, what’s going on? You were right about esme. She’s as bad as you said. No — worse. And I played right into her hands! There isn’t a single vegan option. It’s 2021. How’s that even possible? Okay. I’ve been working on a text to trina. How does this sound? Why are you texting trina? Because I want to check in. I feel bad. You feel bad about defending your girlfriend from a bunch of wild accusations? Except they weren’t so wild. You torched ava’s car, you planted the duplicate of kiki’s hospital badge, and then you slipped and you called her lauren. Trina didn’t imagine any of that. And for us to pretend like she’s just making all of this up? Kind of feels like we’re gaslighting her. Look. It doesn’t feel good to me, either, spence. But what are our options? We could tell trina

part of the truth. I could take the fall for ava’s problems. Or we could tell trina the whole truth — that you concocted a plan to break up your father’s marriage.

[ Scoffs ] Maybe trina will understand. Or she’ll blow everything up and take everything public, which seems likely since she’s so loyal to ava. Who knows? Maybe the truth will bring father and son even closer together. And even ava, to boot. Whatever you want, I’ll stand behind you. Because all I want is for you to be happy. So, spence… what makes you happy? I’m so sorry. I can’T. But I thought — bubba! Floyd! Will you see to it, please, that nikolas gets home? Ava, don’T. And check your mail when you get there. We’ve passed the six-week minimum. Our divorce should be final any day now if it isn’t already.

[ Grunting ] What do you know about jordan? I know that she’ll be dead soon unless you help her. You’re bluffing! No. You’re wasting time that lady doesn’t have! Ungh! Jordan? Jordan, it’s portia. Wake up.

[ Gas hissing ] No, no, no, no. No. This is not the end. Mnh-mnh. Not like this.

[ Weakly ] Curtis… yes, yeah! Yeah. Curtis is gonna find us. Yep. We’re not gonna die. Our children need us. We have far too much life to live, you know? Tj needs you. And trina needs me. I refuse to let my daughter live the rest of her life without me. And I need to tell trina how much I love her. And I need to tell trina the truth. The truth about her father. I figured you’d come back here. You love nina? Why is that so hard to believe? Oh, no, I’m just trying to put the pieces together. Because there is nothing about you, mike, that even remotely fits with the person I’ve always known nina to me. You used to be involved with nina, um, a long time ago. And it — that’s over. You need to accept… and let her go. Oh, you’re right about one thing, mike. There is no going back for nina and me. But what you have is not love. Because it’s built on lies. And it’s time you both face the truth.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jake: Oh, what a day! You know, there’s a certain poetry to rebuilding a 1969 ford mustang boss 429 engine, but trying to find the magic in a titan spreadsheet? I swear, if I have to look at another one of those quarterly sales reports, I just might kill someone.

Gabi: Mm-hmm.

Jake: What’s up with you? You split early. Half day?

Gabi: Hardly; I have been spying on philip’s laptop. Less distractions here. And I finally have exactly what I need to bring him down.

Philip: “To brady V. Black, basic black. From philip R. Kiriakis, ceo of titan industries. Re: Our recent meeting in wilkes-barre, pennsylvania. Dear mr. Black, per this document, I respectfully request that you cease and desist… from trying to seduce chloe when you know she’s in a relationship with me. You’re a pathetic piece of slime son of a bitch who will pay the price if you don’t keep your damn hands off my woman.”

[Exhales]

Belle: Philip did what? No, I totally understand. You have every right to feel that way, chloe. Yeah, I’ll talk to him. Right now? I, um… yeah, I can go right now.

Shawn: [Whispers] What?

Belle: No, no, no, no, chloe, everything’s gonna be okay. Of course I’ll tell you. Okay, love you too. Bye.

Shawn: What was that all about?

Belle: [Sighs]

Justin: Bonnie.

Bonnie: Hm?

Justin: Something wrong?

Bonnie: [Chuckles] What could be wrong? Marrying a dreamboat like you? I’m sorry, where were we?

Matrimony should be entered into solemnly and with reverence and honor. Therefore, if any person here objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Xander: I have an objection.

Justin: What are you doing here?

Xander: Your blushing bride stole a million dollars from me, and I want it back.

Steve: [Scoffs] Okay, whatever issue you think you have will have to wait for another time. Now get out.

Xander: Oh, I’m not going anywhere, mate. Don’t worry, this won’t take long.

Justin: Xander, leave. Now.

Xander: You’re gonna wanna hear this, cuz. I guarantee it. You might even thank me.

Kayla: What’s this about?

Xander: Glad you asked. Quite simple, really. I had a briefcase full of cash in my room which has gone missing. And the only person that could’ve taken it is bonnie.

Justin: Why would bonnie be in your room?

Xander: Oh, I can think of one million reasons. But why don’t you ask her?

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Shawn: So what, you’re just leaving?

Belle: Where is my phone?

Shawn: It’s in your hand.

Belle: Oh, duh. Thank you.

Shawn: I mean, hold on. I’m confused; I thought we were having dinner.

Belle: We are. I’m just gonna go over to titan for two seconds.

Shawn: Ugh, to see philip.

Belle: Chloe asked me to talk to him about this boneheaded move he just made.

Shawn: Oh, what boneheaded move now?

Belle: Ugh, well, for starters, he completely ignored my advice and got on the titan jet–

Shawn: Okay, never mind. Never mind. I take it back. I don’t want to hear about it. Unless it involves a crime and I get to go over and happily arrest him, I don’t want to hear it.

Belle: Well, there’s no crime. Well, there’s a crime of the heart, I guess.

Shawn: Can’t chloe just handle her own relationship issues?

Belle: Yes, of course she can, but she asked me to go, and what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t have her back? Listen, it’s only gonna be a few minutes. Order the mozzarella sticks and I’ll be back before you’re done. Oh, and will you order me a burger with swiss and no onions?

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

Belle: Okay.

Shawn: “Crime of the heart,” my ass.

Lani: Babies are sound asleep.

Eli: And I just paid the nanny.

Lani: Whoo, we are so lucky we found her. Especially since she’s giving us this two-for-one deal.

Eli: Yeah, she’s really great with them, and I think the twins like her as well.

Lani: Mm, they do.

Eli: So how was your first day back on the job?

Lani: It was great. But, um, I do have to admit that I really missed jules and carver.

[Chuckles] And every break I had, I just– I found myself looking at their pictures on my phone.

[Both chuckle]

Eli: Well, if you want, we can stand over their cribs and monitor every move they make while they sleep.

Lani: Oh, can we?

Eli: Okay, okay. Hey, whatever mama wants.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Bonnie: This is just–

[Scoffs] Your room?

Xander: Come on, bonbon, don’t be coy.

Justin: Bonnie, did you go to xander’s room?

Bonnie: Um, yes, I did. But to invite this lunkhead to our wedding.

Justin: Why would you do that?

Bonnie: Because he’s family. Victor refused to come and none of your sons could make it on such short notice, so I thought inviting your cousin would be a nice surprise.

Xander: The only surprise was you running off with all my cash. Although, knowing your history, that’s not really that much of a surprise, is it?

Justin: Xander, you stop–

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is obviously a private matter. I will, uh, give you some time.

Kayla: Xander seems to have a newfound habit of crashing private parties and making scandalous claims.

Xander: Ah, but in the case of nicole and eric’s anniversary party, which is what I assume you’re alluding to, I merely stated fact. And that party is strangely relevant because that’s how I earned the million dollars in question. And in that case, my “scandalous claim” was true. Just as it is in this case. Isn’t that right, bonnie?

Bonnie: Please just leave.

Steve: I’ll show you out.

Justin: Wait, wait, wait. I want to clear this up.

Xander: Now that’s more like it, cuz.

Justin: So did you actually witness bonnie taking your money?

Xander: I didn’T.

Steve: Okay, you see? This is total bull.

Xander: If you would let me finish. I was in the shower exfoliating when I thought I heard someone come into the room. Ah, you guys don’t exfoliate?

Justin: So you thought you heard bonnie enter your room?

Xander: I know I did.

Justin: How can you be so sure?

Xander: Because I set my keycard on the desk next to the door like I always do, but when I came out of the shower, it was on a side table. Obviously, bonnie swiped it when she came to invite me to these proceedings, then she slipped back in and helped herself to my money.

Justin: That is pure conjecture.

Xander: It’s nothing but the truth, counselor. Of course, I understand why you’d want fair compensation to marry this woman, but you’re gonna have to find some other sucker to pay bonnie’s dowry.

Bonnie: No, don’t–don’T. Don’T. Just–

Justin: Is any of what xander’s saying true?

[Dramatic music]

 

[Keycard beeping]

Bonnie: Oh, thank god.

[Water running] Oh!

[Chuckles]

[Knocking at door] Who are you gonna believe? Xander cook, a common criminal? Or the woman you love and are about to marry? To be a thriver

Eli: All right, red vines, vinegar chips, couple sodas.

Lani: Uh… [Chuckles] This is not dinner, babe. This is stake-out food.

Eli: That’s because we’re going on a stake-out. Detective grant, you and I, we’re gonna walk in–tiptoe. We’re gonna walk in, tiptoe into the nursery…

Lani: Mm-hmm?

Eli: And we have two special persons of interest in there that we’re gonna monitor.

Lani: Kay, do you want to brief me on our subjects?

Eli: Absolutely. The first suspect: Jules grant, aka “salem’s angel.” She does, like, this cute thing with her lip. Like, she curls her lip. It’s the cutest thing that you ever saw in your whole life. And the second suspect: Carver grant, aka “cc.”

Lani: “Cc?”

Eli: “Cute and cuddly.” What? He does this thing where he stretches his arms up when he sleeps, and he loves a good game of peekaboo.

Lani: Mm.

Eli: Yeah.

Lani: You noticed all that?

Eli: Of course. Detective grant here. I am a highly trained professional at watching the human nature. You know? But don’t trip. I got you. I’ll teach you everything I know.

Lani: Oh, okay, thanks.

Eli: Yeah, you’re welcome. Of course; it’s your first day back on the job. I gotta ease you back into it.

Lani: Mm-hmm. I like the sound of that. But, um… the vinegar chips are mine.

Eli: I thought I was about to get a kiss, but nope, these are–seniority.

Lani: What?

Eli: So they’re mine.

Lani: No, I am the mother of your–

Eli: No, these are my chips.

[Phones beeping]

Lani: [Chuckles]

Paulina: I just texted both eli and lani in case one of them doesn’t see it. Well, we better get started cooking.

Abe: Oh, I guess you can’t get enough of them, huh?

Paulina: Actually, I can’T.

[Both chuckle] Oh, what, you– oh, you wanted it to be just us tonight?

Abe: Well, no. I love eating together with lani and eli, but we did just spend labor day weekend together.

Paulina: That’s why i invited them over. We need to rehash everything that happened.

Abe: That could take a while. That was a pretty eventful weekend.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, which we can dine out on for years, starting tonight. And I know this is lani’s first day back to work from maternity leave, so I told them “bring the kids.”

Abe: Well, that was very thoughtful.

Paulina: Oh, I can tell from the look on your face you do not like this idea.

Abe: You know, I– I just think that they– they just might be exhausted.

[Phone beeps]

Paulina: Oh, from lani. “We’d love to come. We’ll bring dessert.” See? See that? They can’t get enough of us either.

[Laughs] Oh, let’s go. Let’s go get– get going on that chicken milanese.

[Chuckles]

Abe: Couldn’t we just order pizza?

Gabi: Well, apparently, philip took the titan jet to wilkes-barre.

Jake: Oh, pennsylvania, my home state? What the hell’s in wilkes-barre? I mean, aside from that actor from “the breakfast club.” You know, the really good-looking one? What the hell was his name?

Gabi: Jake, jake, please.

Jake: What?

Gabi: Focus.

Jake: Okay, okay, sorry. So tell me, what’s in wilkes-barre?

Gabi: Brady and chloe.

Jake: Wow. Well, that just got a hell of a lot more interesting.

Gabi: And apparently, they had the dimera jet, which had some mechanical issues. They got stranded out there for the night, and philip flew out there, caught them together in bed.

Jake: [Laughs]

Philip: I’m kind of busy.

Belle: Yeah, you’re kind of an idiot.

Philip: What?

Belle: I just hung up the phone with chloe. What the hell, philip? After I gave you, like, a million reasons why it was a stupid idea to go after chloe and brady, you got on a private jet anyway?

Philip: And caught them in bed together.

Belle: Oh, please. Nothing happened. Because chloe is with you.

Philip: They were spooning, belle; if I hadn’t gotten there when I did, god knows what would’ve happened. Although it’s not too hard to guess. What else did chloe say?

Belle: She’s pretty ticked off that you don’t trust her.

Philip: I don’t know how many times I have to say this. Of course I trust chloe, but there’s not a chance in hell that I trust brady. Especially after this latest stunt.

Xander: Not surprised that you’d resort to name-calling, bonnie. But for your information, I’m not a criminal, and any crimes I allegedly committed could never be called “common.” And it’s a bit risky, isn’t it? Invoking my reputation when you have quite the reputation yourself.

Justin: Bonnie is not that person anymore! She’s changed.

Steve: Yeah, but you haven’T. I know for a fact that you’ve been running drugs.

Xander: Oh, you’re late to the party, pal. Those charges have all been dismissed. Da had no proof.

Justin: And you have no proof of these absurd allegations against bonnie, so get the hell out of here now.

Xander: Fine, I’ll just go upstairs and get what I came for. Best wishes and all that, yeah?

Bonnie: No, wait, wait! You can’t go up there.

Xander: Why not?

Kayla: Why can’t he go upstairs?

Calista: You ready to go to hell, bonnie?

Bonnie: Let’s just see who gets there first!

[Both grunting]

[Muffled gunshot]

[Groans]

Kayla: Oh, my gosh. Bonnie, what happened?

Bonnie: Oh, you mean the feathers. Um, oh, gosh. They just don’t make pillows the way they used to. I was just trying to fluff one up, and it just exploded on me.

Kayla: And calista?

Bonnie: Oh, uh, it’s the darndest thing. She said she wasn’t feeling well and she just keeled right over. You can’t go up there because of calista.

Xander: Who the hell is calista?

Kayla: Bonnie’s sister-in-law.

Justin: Bonnie.

Bonnie: Huh?

Justin: What is going on with you and calista? Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Abe: All right, that was pretty good, I gotta tell you. Oh, man, you know, um– I’d like to propose a toast.

Paulina: Hmm?

Abe: Yes, to a team effort.

Paulina: Oh, well, you did most of the work, but I’ll drink to that.

[Both chuckle] Where’d you learn your way around the kitchen like that?

Abe: Ah, well, it was necessity at first. You know, when I was a bachelor, during my bachelor days…

Paulina: Uh-uh.

Abe: I had to improvise. It was either that or eat take-out every night, and–so I enjoyed it. Started watching the food channel from time to time. Yeah, reading recipes.

Paulina: Well, I am impressed.

Abe: [Chuckles] Well, you know, why eat take-out when it’s so easy and enjoyable to create a meal and you savor it with a nice glass of wine?

Paulina: You are speaking my language.

[Both chuckle]

Abe: Well, you know, we have the hors d’oeuvres, they’re all done, dinner’s in the oven, and we’re waiting on eli and lani to bring the dessert so…I think we have everything covered.

Paulina: Well, I’m afraid that I can’t wait that long for something sweet.

Abe: Oh. Oh, well, let’s see.

[Chuckles] I am so glad that I wore this apron.

Paulina: You and me both.

[Both laugh] Ooh, a man that can cook in the kitchen and sizzle in the bedroom. You know something? You’re quite a catch, abraham carver.

Abe: Thank you, ms. Paulina price.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. Oh.

Abe: But for the record, I’m the one who caught you.

[Chuckles]

Belle: What is this?

Philip: Just a little memo to brady. “I’ve warned you to stay away from chloe more than once. If you’re not gonna listen, you better start looking over your shoulder because I will come after you.”

Belle: Philip!

Philip: “I will hurt you. I will keep hurting you until you get it through your head that chloe’s mine. And if you decide you want chloe more than life itself, that can be arranged!”

Belle: Okay, this is enough.

Philip: I’m just getting started.

Belle: All right, philip, I mean it. If you’re not careful, all this anger that you’re feeling towards brady is gonna bring you down.

Gabi: Philip’s anger towards brady’s gonna be his downfall. Look.

Jake: Memo to brady? What happened to the memo he was writing to the head of legal?

Gabi: Do you even listen to anything I say?

Jake: I do, but you’re just so damn hot, I just get distracted.

Gabi: No, we need to pay attention to this. Please listen. That keylogger that I installed in philip’s computer, it is showing me everything in real time. This is happening right now, and it is nasty. You need to read this. Right there.

Jake: “If I ever catch you near a bed with chloe again, I’m gonna cut off your”– whoa! Ow, oh!

Gabi: Mm-hmm.

Jake: Whoo!

Gabi: Crazy, right?

Jake: That brings me back to my wise guy days. I mean, that, that right there, is some next level anger.

Gabi: Right. Now we just have to get philip to act on that anger. See, once he’s proven that he’s this jealous maniac that might even resort to violence, victor will fire him, and then I can take over.

Jake: Or me.

Gabi: We just have to wait for the right moment. Or create it. I mean, I vote for being proactive.

Jake: So what, you’re saying trigger philip to go off on brady?

Gabi: I guarantee it’ll be a cinch.

Jake: Yeah, maybe. But if we’re not careful, someone could get killed.

Bonnie: Calista drowned herself in mimosas and passed right out, and she’s upstairs sleeping it off. Kayla, you saw her, didn’t you?

Xander: Then I promise I’ll be very quiet.

Bonnie: No, no. No, no!

Justin: What the hell? This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Eli: One strawberry rhubarb pie.

Paulina: Thank you, sweetie. Now what’d you get for everyone else?

[Laughs] These precious little dolls, oh.

Lani: I hope you don’t mind that we brought them. We couldn’t get a sitter, and we couldn’t ask julie and doug to take them again tonight.

Paulina: Did I not tell you to bring them? And we want them here, don’t we? My angels. And of course, you couldn’t impose on doug and julie. I mean, they’ve done enough already, those two. Taking these twins for labor day weekend.

Eli: Something smells good.

Paulina: Ah-ha! Credit where it’s due. Your father, he just swept in here and used his culinary magic and saved me from ordering pizza.

Eli: “Kiss the cook,” huh? You’re gonna have to settle for a fist bump from me.

Abe: Thank you for saying that.

[All chuckling] Now, we all spent a wonderful, wonderful weekend together. There you are, my dear. And as paulina said, we can’t get enough of you.

Lani: Same here, obviously.

[Laughs]

Abe: Well, we’re so glad that you two could make it tonight.

Paulina: Yes, we are, and as I was telling abraham, we’ve got a lot of rehashing to do. I mean, did we have a labor day weekend to write home about or what?

Lani: I’d say it was one for the books.

Paulina: Oh, yes.

Abe: Yes.

Eli: Cheers.

Abe: Cheers.

Xander: Sorry to intrude. Just a quick look around, and I’ll let you rest in peace. There you are!

Bonnie: No–drop it!

Xander: Not a chance.

Bonnie: No, no, no, it’s not what you think!

Xander: It’s exactly what I think.

Bonnie: Those are for my honeymoon. It’s my unmentionables–

Xander: This is the money you stole.

Bonnie: You can’t have it.

Xander: Think this through, bonnie. You’re about to marry the man you love, a man who’s much too good for you. So let this go. Let me take what is mine, and we’ll both have our happily ever afters. And we’ll never mention this again.

Bonnie: You’re right. Take it. Huh?

[Gasps]

Xander: What are you doing with a gun?

Justin: Yeah, bonnie. What are you doing with a gun?

Jake: I’m just saying, our boy phil, he’s a powder keg. Spilling blood all over the page, meaning if we’re not careful, something could go seriously wrong.

Gabi: What, like murder? I mean, you really think that philip has the guts to murder brady? If we’re lucky, it’s just gonna be some loud, public confrontation, maybe a fist or two thrown. Everyone’s gonna find out that philip is this unhinged, jealous maniac. And we can back it up with a trail of flame emails fired off to brady.

Jake: That’ll definitely go against his ceo image.

Gabi: But there’s more.

Jake: Oh, god. I’m almost afraid to ask.

Gabi: I was doing some research, internal titan documents. And philip, when he first started, he was laundering mob money through the company, and xander ratted him out.

Jake: Okay, and xander ended up on the streets, and not philip, so what does that tell you? Family protects family.

Gabi: Yes, but if philip hurts family, like, assaults brady, victor might come down hard on him with some tough love. You like?

Jake: Let’s do it. Let’s find a way to push philip to the brink of that edge.

Belle: If you send that email, you will regret it.

Philip: And why is that?

Belle: Oh, what? You can’t figure it out? Because there’ll be an electronic trail of potentially prosecutable threats, and that’ll play right into brady’s hands. Philip, this is exactly what brady wants you to do. He wants you to blow up so he can use it against you, both professionally and personally, so you need to be smarter than this. You’ve got chloe. Just enjoy it. Be happy. Look, I know that you just needed to vent, and that’s why you would write such hateful and ugly threats, but now that you’ve gotten it out of your system, you need to delete the email.

Philip: [Sighs] Right. It is ugly and hateful. I probably shouldn’t send it. But I’m gonna send it anyway. I order my groceries online now.

Belle: [Scoffs] Oh, my god. You did not just send that email.

Philip: Actually, it didn’t go through. What the hell? It froze again! What the hell is going on with my computer?

Belle: Ah, the fates have finally intervened to save you from yourself.

Kayla: I don’t understand any of this.

Steve: You know what I think? I think everything’s gonna work itself out, one way or another. At least we have a minute so i can tell you how beautiful you look.

Kayla: [Chuckles]

Steve: You’re as beautiful as you were on our wedding day.

Kayla: Which one?

Steve: All of them.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Steve: I know what you’re thinking. She’s the same old bonnie lockhart. Once a thief, always a thief.

Kayla: You know, it’s just the way that she talked about justin. You know, their future, how much he means to her. I was really convinced that she had changed and that she loved justin too much to risk what they have.

Steve: I hope you’re right about that, sweetness.

Xander: Well, isn’t it obvious? She was gonna use that gun at the salem inn to rob me.

Justin: Is this true?

Bonnie: No, it’s not. I did not take a gun to xander’s room.

Xander: I won’t speak for you, cousin, but I’m not inclined to believe a word that comes out of this woman’s mouth. She’s probably already pilfered who knows how many thousands.

Justin: Bonnie, what the hell is going on? What is going on?

Bonnie: Can we just go somewhere else, please? Somewhere else. Let calista sleep.

Xander: Your sister-in-law sleeps like the dead. All this ruckus and she hasn’t even moved a hair.

Justin: [Sighs] You sure she’s okay?

Eli: Well, while we’re all here having enjoyed a truly wonderful meal, I’d like to make a toast to my beautiful wife. First day back on the job.

Lani: Ah.

Paulina: Oh, honey. Honey, I was wondering…

Lani: What, auntie?

Paulina: Well…I know you love your job…

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Paulina: I mean, and I’m proud of you for being so good at it, but being a cop, that’s dangerous, obviously, but you’re a mom now. I mean, you got those little beauties to think about.

Lani: Auntie?

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Lani: You are starting to sound like my mom now.

Paulina: Well, I’m just saying that these days with your babies, they’re so precious.

Lani: I know, auntie. And I thought long and hard about going back to the department, but I realized that I want my kids to see that–

Eli: How much a badass detective you are. That’s what.

[Laughter]

[Cell phone rings]

Lani: Detective price. Where? When? Yeah, we’re on our way. That was rafe. We’re needed on a case.

Paulina: Right now?

Lani: Yeah. Right now, unfortunately. I’m so sorry we have to cut the evening short. It’s been so great.

Abe: Well, don’t worry about it, honey.

Lani: Ah, the twins. Do you two mind watching them tonight? Hopefully we won’t be too late.

Abe: Oh, do we mind?

Paulina: No, we’d love to, and don’t worry. We will hold off on dessert until you get back.

Lani: Okay.

Eli: Thank you both.

Paulina: Uh-huh.

Abe: All right, my man.

Paulina: I’m so sorry. Oh, I was having such a good time.

Lani: I know.

Paulina: Oh. Mm. You be safe out there, okay?

Lani: Auntie…

Paulina: Okay?

Lani: Don’t worry. We’ll be okay. Okay?

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Lani: Love you.

Paulina: Love you.

Eli: See y’all later.

Lani: Bye.

Abe: See you.

Justin: Bonnie…

Bonnie: [Sighs] No, justin, please.

Justin: [Gasps] Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Philip: Gunther in it is checking out whatever bug’s bitten my computer. He’s a whiz. Hopefully he can find the problem.

Belle: Well, I hope he doesn’T.

Philip: Since when are you against freedom of expression?

Belle: Since it could land you in a world of trouble.

Philip: I know what I’m doing.

Belle: Oh, please. You are running on rage right now, and that is not going to end well. You really need to listen to me and just cool off, or you are gonna lose chloe. And everything that’s important to you.

[Cell phone rings]

Philip: Hey, gunther. That was quick. You found what on my laptop?

Gabi: So weird. No, philip never sent that email. He hasn’t typed a single thing in 20 minutes.

Jake: Maybe he took a break. Maybe you should take a break. I know you said you don’t like distractions, but…

Gabi: What did you have in mind?

Jake: I don’t know, was thinking maybe you can spend a little less time with your software and a little more time with my–

Gabi: Shh.

[Both laugh]

Kayla: It’s so unfair. If justin has his heart handed to him again at another wedding…

Steve: I know, baby.

Kayla: It just can’t be true. That’s all there is to it.

Steve: I hope you’re right. But what I don’t understand is, why would xander make up that entire story about the money?

Xander: Oh, do you mean this money?

Kayla: Where’s bonnie?

Xander: Upstairs. Undoubtedly batting her baby blues at justin and spinning some sob story about how innocent she is, but she’s guilty as hell. And she’s gonna pay for what she did. I called the cops.

Kayla: Why did you do that? I mean, you have your money. Why’d you call the police?

Xander: The woman had a gun. She could’ve shot me. But now it seems like the groom is the one who dodged a bullet.

Justin: She’s been shot. Bonnie. Bonnie. What have you done?

Bonnie: I can explain.

Justin: You stole $1 million. Your sister-in-law is dead in our bed. How do you explain that?

Lani: We would like to hear that answer too. On the outside, I looked fine.

[Laughter]

[Knocking at door]

Jake: Ah, don’t get it.

Gabi: I won’T.

[Knocking at door] Okay, you know what? Let me–hold on. Hold on.

[Sighs] Philip. What are you doing here?

Philip: Why the hell are you spying on me?

[Door clicks]

Belle: I’m back.

Shawn: Ah, perfect timing. I just polished off the mozzarella sticks, and our burgers should be out here any minute.

Belle: Good.

Shawn: So how did things go with philip?

Belle: Oh, well, he was just as stubborn and irrational as usual. It just makes me so…

Shawn: Okay, never mind, never mind, never mind. Actually, I don’t wanna hear it. You know what? I don’t care. Sorry. I don’T.

Belle: You know what? You’re right. You shouldn’t care. And I’m really, really sorry that I left you like that.

Shawn: It’s okay. ‘Cause I just finished a nice long video chat with our daughter.

Belle: [Gasps] You talked to claire? Aww. I hate that I missed that. I really need to catch up with her.

Shawn: Well, you will have a lot of time to do that when we’re in joburg.

Belle: What?

Shawn: Yeah, the way I passed the time while you were gone is, yeah, I just, you know, booked us a couple of round-trip tickets to go see her.

Belle: Seriously?

Shawn: Mm-hmm, and I even splurged on business class.

Belle: [Laughing] Oh, my– I am so excited! We’re going to south africa! Yay!

Shawn: Business class.

Belle: [Laughs]

Bonnie: [Crying]

Eli: Bonnie lockhart, you’re under arrest for suspicion of murder and robbery.

Bonnie: [Sobbing] Justin… I’m sorry.

Eli: Let’s go. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you…

[Dramatic music]

Paulina: Your granddaddy abe, bless his heart, is finishing up the dishes, so that gives the three of us a chance to catch up, huh? Precious angels.

[Babies cooing] Everybody in town thinks of me as your great auntie paulina. But you can call me grandma.

[Chuckles] But don’t forget, it’s our little secret.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Siren wailing in distance]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Steffy: Finn, look at me. I know that it sounds crazy, but she is faking it. It’s an act. She’s manipulating you.

Finn: She lost consciousness, steffy.

Steffy: You were in the middle of telling her you never wanted to see her again, and then she suddenly collapses at our house?

Finn: They’re running a few more tests. We’re just– we’re waiting on the lab results and we–

Steffy: It’s a waste of time! This isn’t real! It’s not real! Sheila is a pro at this. Come on! We have to just–just walk out of here, okay? Let’s walk out of the hospital room and never see her again.

Ridge: I knew it. I knew sheila wouldn’t leave town.

Brooke: Felt way too easy.

Ridge: [Sighs] Finn was wrong to allow her to see hayes. You know that, right?

Brooke: It’s only made her more obsessive.

Ridge: When is this nightmare gonna be over?

Brooke: I don’t know. She’s been messing with our family for years. Now to find out she’s finn’s biological mother and hayes’ grandmother? Makes me wonder what more she’s capable of.

Ridge: I know.

Brooke: I’m just worried about the strain that she’s putting on steffy and finn’s relationship.

Paris: Finn screwed up.

Zende: You think?

Paris: [Sighs] I mean, but he fully owns his mistake. He knows that sheila shouldn’t be anywhere around steffy or her family. But the fact that he’s pretty much perfect in every other way has got to count for something, right?

Zende: Oh. So he’s perfect now, huh?

Paris: Zende, no one’s perfect, but finn’s very, very close.

Zende: Closer than me?

Paris: You guys may be neck and neck.

Zende: Really?

Paris: You may be winning by just a hair.

Brooke: It’s just really unfortunate that steffy’s caught in the middle. She loves finn so much, but she can’t standthe woman who gave birth to him.

Ridge: No one can stand her. And steffy has every right to feel uneasy about it.

Brooke: Absolutely. Finn needs to show better judgment.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: But she did say that the relationship is back on track.

Ridge: Well, let’s hope this latest stunt doesn’t derail their progress.

Zende: You can admit it. You’re kinda crushing on finn, aren’t you?

Paris: Oh, you mean the same way that model was crushing on you?

Zende: Touché.

Paris: Can’t blame her.

Zende: I mean, I can’t blame her, either.

Paris: Mm-hmm.

Zende: Finn’s a good-looking guy. He’s a doctor, and he surfs. I get it. Seems like everyone’s got a thing for him these days.

Paris: Not everybody.

Zende: Are you saying you don’t?

Finn: I hear you, and I respect your feelings, but we’re–

Steffy: Then let’s go! Sheila’s in good hands. She’s gonna be just fine. We have to think about our family, finn.

Finn: I am thinking about us. You and the kids always come first. But like it or not, steffy, she is my mother.

Steffy: She’s your birth mother.

Finn: And she’s alone and scared in a hospital all by herself. I told her that I would be here. I can’t just abandon her. Some people have joint pain,

[Horn honks]

Ridge: Just texted steffy. Wanna see what’s happening at the hospital.

Zende: Hospital? Somebody get hurt?

Brooke: So she says.

Ridge: Sheila.

Zende: What did she do this time?

Ridge: Went to steffy’s house again.

Paris: Again?

Brooke: She snuck onto the property and then fainted on the floor.

Ridge: At a very opportune moment.

Zende: You’re not buying it.

Brooke: No, unfortunately, finn is vulnerable to his birth mother. In fact, he’s at the hospital with her right now. Steffy just filled us in.

Paris: Well, let me guess. Steffy went over there to confront her.

Ridge: Of course she did. She doesn’t want finn to be manipulated anymore.

Zende: But isn’t there a restraining order in place?

Brooke: Carter’s working on it, but because of the family connection, it’s a little bit complicated.

Paris: Um, you know what? I-I-I actually have a thing I have to do for the foundation.

Zende: Right now?

Paris: Yeah, it’s a video chat thing. I completely forgot about it.

Ridge: Go ahead. Do your thing.

Zende: It’s gotta be tough on both of you.

Ridge: You know what’s tough, zende? Trying to explain to finn how dangerous this woman really is. We’ve tried. We’ve all tried, but he’s not listening, so…almost to the point where I don’t wanna tell him anymore. You know what? I’m not just gonna sit back and let this woman try to weasel her way back into this family. Not gonna let it happen.

Brooke: Steffy’s not gonna let it happen either.

Steffy: I’d rather not have this conversation in here, not when she can hear us.

Finn: She’s asleep, steffy. She’s had a very trying day.

Steffy: No, no, she hasn’T. This is a scam. She’s trying to exploit your feelings. That’s what she does best. Finn, you have to trust me on this. I know you are put in a terrible position right now and part of you does feel bad for her, but… don’t let her suck you in, okay? You need to walk away. The more attention you give this woman, the more you make her feel like she’s your mother, the more she’s gonna be fixated on this. You’re gonna keep feeding the monster, and you can’t do that. You need to stop right now. We need to just go and never see sheila again.

Nurse: Sorry to interrupt. Dr. Finnegan, you wanted an update on the patient in 103. I’d have called, but since you’re here, the results are in.

Finn: Okay. Thank you. I gotta go take care of that. You wanna sit out in the waiting area?

Steffy: No, I’m gonna stay here, wait till sheila wakes up.

Finn: Look, steffy, I know you think she’s pretending, but people don’t just collapse for no reason. She might have something underlying. I’m gonna be right back.

Steffy: Hey. Finn left. It’s just you and me now. You can drop the act. You are so full of it. Obviously, you were listening to everything we were saying. So why don’t you open those eyes and look at me? Because you’re gonna hear exactly what I have to say.

(Motorcycle running)

 

Brooke: Is everything okay with paris, zende?

Zende: Um, I, uh–I think so. Why?

Brooke: I just got the feeling that she might be concerned about steffy and finn’s relationship, what they’re going through.

Zende: It could be part of it. Paris lives at the house, and sheila’s existence is enough to rattle anyone.

Ridge: That’s why finn has to cut all ties with that woman, end this nightmare.

Brooke: For everyone’s safety, especially the sake of their marriage.

Zende: We were just talking about that, how good they are together. Paris is really concerned. She doesn’t want anything or anyone coming between steffy and finn.

[Elevator door dings]

Paris: Finn.

Finn: Paris, hey. What are you doing here?

Paris: I heard about what happened with sheila, and I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Finn: [Sighs] Um, I was just gonna check on her. I had to see another patient.

Paris: Oh, I’m sorry. Don’t let me stop you from doing your job.

Finn: No, no, it’s okay. Sheila’s–she’s resting, and she’s stable, as far as we know.

Paris: Stable is good.

Finn: Yeah.

Paris: It must be a relief for you, knowing that she’s most likely in the clear, out of the woods.

Finn: She’s in good hands. There’s a lot of people watching over her, but…

[Sighs] I admit, it was a little scary watching her go down like that right at the house.

Paris: Oh, my god. I can only imagine. I wish I was there to help out.

Finn: Yeah, I mean, it was the last thing I was expecting. She was standing there, and then… I think she got upset. Anyway, um, it was really nice of you to come by, and it means a lot that you took some time to reach out.

Paris: Well, that’s what I’m here for. I am assuming that steffy isn’t giving you much support.

Sheila: Enough already. You need to leave me alone and get the hell out of here.

Steffy: All right, sheila, you had your fun. It’s time to cut this out. I’m not an idiot. Your sudden collapse as finn was telling you to get out and never come back? Hmm. What a coincidence. And bravo. You were able to lower your blood pressure. I guess your nursing degree really did come in handy. Finn may have fallen for your charade, but I haven’T. I know exactly who you are, so it’s time to give it up. Give up the act and wake up. Let’s go. Wake up. Come on now. Wake up, girl. Wake up.

Sheila: You are relentless, steffy forrester, worse than your grandmother ever was. Okay, fine. Anything to get you to shut your mouth.

Steffy: [Scoffs]

Sheila: [Exhales]

[Exhales] Finn? Where’s– where’s finn?

Steffy: He’s not here.

Sheila: [Exhales, mumbles] Where’s–who are you? Who are you?

Steffy: You know who I am. You’ve been listening to us the entire time.

Sheila: Nurse, I was just…

Steffy: It’s steffy.

Sheila: Oh, steffy.

[Groans] Get water. Please, wat–some water.

Steffy: [Sighs]

Sheila: Thank you.

Steffy: There’s nothing wrong with you. Physically. I mean, this fantasy that you’re clinging to, that you’re gonna be in finn’s and hayes’s life forever, you need to drop it. It’s not gonna happen. All the deception and the lies, it ends here. Now. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Ridge: Uh-oh, steffy texted back. Let’s see.

Brooke: What? What’d she say?

Ridge: She is alone in a room with sheila.

Brooke: Really? Is that a good idea?

Ridge: Apparently she’s still “unconscious.”

Zende: This is seriously insane, to pull something like that?

Ridge: Yeah, she’s putting on a show for everybody.

Zende: I mean, if that’s the case, she’s seriously unhinged. I hope steffy’s being extra careful.

Ridge: You know, I’m not worried about steffy. Worried about your pal finn.

Brooke: She’s playing the victim. She’s trying to get under his skin.

Ridge: Then don’t let her! Come on! Finn needs to get on board. Trust your wife, and stop listening to sheila.

Paris: Steffy does have her own perspective.

Finn: Years of conflict between sheila and her family.

Paris: Yeah, I’m not trying to judge. She has legit reasoning. It makes sense why she thinks it’s a play for sympathy.

Finn: But it’d just be so difficult to pull off.

Paris: Yeah, but you also don’t want to believe that sheila could fake you out like that. Deep down, you’re worried about her health, and her well-being. And that’s okay, it’s normal. You’re her son. And it doesn’t sound like she has anyone else around that cares whether she lives or dies. It’s just you.

Finn: Yeah, who knows?

Paris: The point is, I feel you, finn. And if you need a friend, I’m here.

Finn: I appreciate that. And everything that you said. I just… [Sighs] Can’t stop thinking about sheila and steffy alone together. No matter how this plays out, I don’t see how anybody wins.

Sheila: What-what happened? What are you talking about?

Steffy: Don’t come to my home ever again. You stay away from my husband and my children.

Sheila: Your home.

[Sighs] I wanted to see my son and my grandson.

Steffy: Don’t call them that.

Sheila: But I am.

Steffy: They’re-they’re not yours. They’re not yours to claim. Finn asked you to leave. Repeatedly. But instead of respecting his wishes, you blacked out. You fell on the floor, claiming that it was some kind of emergency. It’s all to worm your way back into my family. I know what this is. It’s over for you. It’s done.

Sheila: God, you have no sympathy. Finn is my boy. Hayes is my grandson and I love them both.

Steffy: You don’t even know what that feels like.

Sheila: Oof. Ooh, ouch. Oh, that hurt, that’s right. Just, you know, kick her while she’s down. Look at me, steffy. I could’ve had a heart attacK.

Steffy: Sadly, I’m betting your cold, empty heart is gonna be just fine. Once finn figures out everything, that this was all a con job, he’s not gonna want anything to do with you ever again.

Sheila: My son wants–

Steffy: Could you stop calling him that?

Sheila: It’s true. He has affection for his mother. Is that so–

Steffy: He’s never given you any indication that he cares about you!

Sheila: Actually, he has.

Steffy: What?

Sheila: My phone. Why don’t you go–go check my texts?

Steffy: Why?

Sheila: Look up finn’s number and open it.

Steffy: You texted him?

Sheila: Yes. Is that a crime?

Steffy: I told him not to respond to you. That he shouldn’t have any communication with you.

Sheila: Well, see for yourself. It’s a heart emoji. You know what that means. That means he loves me. Like it or not, he loves his mother. I will always, always, be a part of my son’s life. There’s nothing you can do about it, steffy.

Days: Beyond Update Wednesday, September 8, 2021

Posted on by Joseph Mueller

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

Eli and Lani kiss in bed. Lani tells him that everything is hotter in Miami as they continue kissing.

Shane Donovan shows up at Paulina’s door. Paulina doesn’t know who he is but Shane has a happy reunion with Abe as they hug and Shane says it’s been way too long.

John sits with a photo of the Alamainian Peacock. Marlena asks if he’s still beating himself up. John states that Shane was so understanding that he totally blew it at the auction last night. John argues that it was his job to buy that sapphire. Marlena is sure that Shane thought he had all the bases covered. John remarks that they weren’t prepared for Anna.

Austin presents Carrie with the Sapphire Necklace. Carrie calls it the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen. Carrie asks Austin how he got it. Austin admits he had a little bit of help from Anna.

Billie & Kyle show up at Will and Sonny’s in Phoenix, where Billie is surprised to find Chad and asks what he’s doing there. Chad says he’s just keeping Will and Sonny out of trouble. Billie talks about Chad not changing at all since he was a model for Countess Wilhelmina. Chad mentions running DiMera with EJ now. Kyle interrupts to inform Chad that they are here on ISA business. Billie introduces Kyle to Chad. Chad asks how he can help. Billie reveals that they are following up a call from Will, who has information on a stolen emerald.

Sonny joins Will in the shower and apologizes for accusing him of cheating. Will apologizes since he promised to never keep anything from him again and he broke that promise. Will acknowledges that he should’ve told him more about the story. Sonny admits he probably wouldn’t have believed it. Will feels he still should’ve come clean. Sonny decides they can make up for that now as they kiss. Leo then walks in and joins them in the shower.

Anna tells Carrie that Austin loves her very much. Carrie jokes that she’ll have to return the tie that she got him. Austin says it’s not a competition. Carrie questions Anna paying for it. Anna says it was worth every penny. Carrie asks if it was Austin’s idea. Austin admits that he asked Anna for help because he had too much wine and said something hurtful to the person he loves the most, so he wanted to show her that he knows what they have together is priceless. Austin vows to never take her for granted again as they kiss.

Tony goes to see John and Marlena. Marlena asks if he’s enjoying his triumph. Tony says he comes bearing gifts. John wants the necklace but Tony says it’s much better, the world’s most expensive chocolate. Tony says it’s meant as a peace offering but John tells him to take the chocolate and get out. Marlena thanks Tony and takes the chocolate.

After Carrie exits the room, Austin tells Anna that they need to talk as he went online and found out the final bid on the necklace. Anna calls him nosey and argues that there were a lot of bidders. Austin questions half a million Euros. Anna admits she may have gotten carried away in the moment.

Tony talks about how Anna gets when she gets something stuck in her head. Tony questions why the necklace is so important to the ISA. John explains that it contained a sapphire that belonged to the Alamain family as it was stolen 30 years ago and just resurfaced, so the auction had no right to put it on the block. John doesn’t give a damn what Anna wants because he won’t stop until he gets the necklace back to Shane Donovan.

Paulina jokes about getting jealous of Abe and Shane. Abe introduces Paulina to Shane as one of his very dearest friends from way back and Paulina as the woman in his life. Paulina says good friends are like family where she comes from so she hugs him. Paulina says Shane looks familiar and asks if they have met before. Shane assures he would’ve remembered.

Leo tries to shower with Will and Sonny. Will questions what he’s doing. Sonny tells Leo to get the hell out. Leo doesn’t see the big deal. Will and Sonny then throw him out of the shower. Leo complains that they don’t want to have any fun.

Shane tells Abe that he can see Paulina is quite the charmer. Eli and Lani come in. Abe introduces them to Shane. Shane notes that without Eli and Lani’s quick thinking, they wouldn’t have been able to take the jewel thief into custody. Eli wishes it was the man that took Paulina’s ring. They talk about how they must have been waiting to make their move. Paulina says she will tell anything they want to know. Shane says he actually came by because he has a lot to tell her. Shane tells her to picture Alamainia in 1991.

Billie introduces Kyle to Will and Sonny. Will mentions being a reporter and asks if they are willing to go on record about the missing jewels. Billie reveals that they just found the amethyst in New Orleans. Will asks what happened in New Orleans but Kyle warns him to stop recording and put his phone away. Kyle says they will ask the questions and asks what Will knows. Billie apologizes and thanks Will for contacting. Will explains that an acquaintance of his claims to know where the emerald is.

Tony explains to John that Anna bought the necklace for Austin to give to Carrie because they are going through a bad patch recently. John guesses Austin must have really been in the doghouse then. Tony says he couldn’t change Anna’s mind about the sapphire being the key to Austin and Carrie’s marriage. John warns that if the wrong guys figure out that Carrie owns the sapphire, her life is in danger.

Austin tells Anna that Tony should be a part of this conversation. Anna says that Tony went off to find chocolate and she doesn’t know why. Austin had no idea that Anna paid that much for the necklace and worries that Carrie is going to figure it out. Anna questions the price of true love and tells Austin to promise never to say anything stupid to Carrie. Austin wants to start by putting the necklace in a bank vault. Austin thanks Anna and decides to get on the video chat with their son Noah. Austin leaves the room while Anna talks about working miracles. Anna then answers the door to see “Sister Mary Moira”, who informs her that God sent her to save her soul from eternal damnation.

Leo introduces himself to Billie and Kyle. Leo tries flirting with Kyle. Kyle tells him to just tell him about the emerald. Leo admits he doesn’t know exactly where the emerald is, but he’s on very good terms with someone who does know and they should be there any moment. Sonny feels Leo is just stringing them along. Chad agrees and calls Leo a con artist but then the doorbell rings.

Anna promises Sister Mary Moira that she was only joking about miracles. She explains that Anna doesn’t know her, but she knows Anna, revealing that she is Susan’s sister and EJ’s aunt. Anna invites her in then, saying they are practically family. Sister Mary Moira talks about finding money for orphans and she saw Anna and Tony were in town, so she decided to pay them a visit. She brings up Anna paying a pretty penny at the auction last night, so she’s sure she will be just as generous with the orphans. Anna says her checkbook is in the other room. Sister Mary says she’ll just say the rosary while she waits, so Anna goes to get it.

Shane finishes explaining to Paulina where the stone in her ring came from. Paulina questions her diamond being part of some peacock. Abe suggests hearing him out. Shane explains that the government of Alamainia has all the documents to prove ownership and it appears that ring was stolen goods long before it was stolen from Paulina. Eli jokes about everything being hotter in Miami. Paulina says their lawyers can call her lawyers and they’ll see who comes out on top. Paulina questions the thief they arrested and wants to get him to talk. Shane notes that the man has rights, so it’s been determined that the bset course of action is to release him, which upsets Paulina.

Anna gives a check to Sister Mary Moira. She remarks that she thought Anna would be a bit more generous than that for the starving orphans. Anna then takes it back and claims she left a zero off at the end so she adds to it. Sister Mary Moira says her generosity will not go unrewarded as she then exits.

Paulina can’t believe the thief is loose after putting a gun to Lani’s head. Paulina complains about letting that animal on the streets and that the ISA only care about the Peacock. Abe argues that Shane has good reason for doing what he did. Eli guesses they put a tail on him to lead to his partner and the diamond. Paulina apologizes. Lani talks about growing up in Miami and offers to help in any way she can. Shane hoped that he could convince her to be his backup. Eli says they’re here to work. Paulina worries about them taking a bullet for her getting her ring back. Eli and Lani assure that they can take care of themselves. Paulina tells them to be safe and bring back what is hers.

Leo introduces his best friend, drag queen Jackie Cox. Jackie talks about doing impressions but Billie does not recognize. Kyle asks if Jackie has the emerald. Jackie says no, but knows where it will be tonight and suggests taking Kyle. Billie says no because Kyle is with her and asks where they need to go. Leo interrupts to ask what’s in it for them.

John and Marlena go with Tony to see Austin and Carrie, surprising them. Austin asks why they didn’t tell them they were going to be in Zurich. John says they were planning to but had business to take care of first. Anna asks Tony what they are doing here. John says he can answer that. John then declares he’s here for the necklace.

Billie tells Leo that he won’t see any of the reward money until they have the emerald in hand. Leo suggests he’s interested in other arrangements. Kyle says they are only interested in the emerald. Leo says he will text them where to be tonight. Leo and Jackie then exit together.

Carrie questions the sapphire in her necklace being stolen 30 years ago. Austin quickly points out that he didn’t know it was stolen and neither did Anna. John notes that Anna knew he was bidding for the ISA because he told her so. Anna argues that she got the necklace fair and square. Marlena points out that’s not true since she kept John from bidding on it. Anna asks what she was supposed to do since Austin was desperate to make things right with Carrie and she believes in true love. Anna declares that the necklace belongs to them now. Carrie responds that it can’t be theirs when it’s a country’s national treasure. Carrie is sure John and the ISA will help Anna get her money back. Carrie acknowledges that she loves the necklace but she couldn’t live with herself if she tried to keep it. Carrie declares that the right thing to do is to give it back, so she hands over the box to John. John opens the box and reveals the necklace is missing.

Paulina doesn’t understand how Shane and the ISA can be so certain that her diamond is the one they are looking for. Abe notes that orange diamonds are extremely rare. Paulina talks about how it’s a gift from her friend Michelle at the white house and asks if they need to call to verify. Abe says no so Paulina tells him to take her word for it. Abe tells her to calm down as he is on her side. Abe wonders if her attachment to the ring has something to do with what happened in Salem. Paulina asks what he means. Abe says during their business with the town square, Paulina talked about a man from her past who hurt her and made her feel powerless because he was the one with the money. Abe brings up that Paulina swore to herself to never be put in that position again. Abe feels that money is more than a system of exchange to her, but something that makes her feel safe. Paulina guesses Abe has got her figured out. Paulina says that Abe, Eli, Lani, and the babies are worth more to her than any of the precious gems in the world. Paulina adds that she’s still keeping the ring.

The two thieves get together and talk about having the orange diamond ring. They plan to turn it over tonight and get the rest of their bonus. The one thief that was arrested mentions lawyering up and how he had to be let go. The other man questions if he cut himself a deal. He argues that they have nothing on them. Shane and Lani then burst in with their guns raised, ordering they put the ring down and their hands up. One of the men runs for it while the other grabs his gun.

Paulina gets a call from her friend Michelle and guesses she heard about the robbery. Michelle confirms she heard the story. Paulina assures that she’s fine. Paulina says she did keep the ring in a safe place but she wore it out from time to time. Paulina argues that she wasn’t flaunting it or being careless, she was robbed. Paulina apologizes and doesn’t know where it’s at but says the police are looking for it now to bring it back to her. Michelle then hangs up on Paulina. Abe jokes that he can’t imagine why.

Eli bursts in and shoots the man. Lani says she owes him one. Eli mentions promising Paulina to bring Lani home safe. Lani handcuffs the man and asks who he’s working for but he won’t talk. Shane returns having sent the other man off with the police. Lani retrieves the ring and declares they got what they came for, so it’s all good.

Billie gets a text that Shane got the orange diamond and says that’s one down, five more to go. Kyle jokes about Jackie Cox’s resemblance to Billie which Billie questions. Kyle remarks that she was very attractive as he exits.

Leo texts Jackie to keep it together as he does not want to blow this. Chad approaches so Leo invites him to shower. Chad warns Leo that he’s caused more than enough trouble for Sonny and Will, so he needs to watch himself as he’s got his eye on him. Leo remarks that he’s watching him right back as Chad walks away.

Carrie doesn’t understand as she had the necklace in the box and then left for her video chat with Noah. John asks Anna what happened next. Anna says she talked to Austin and then he went to get on the call. Anna then realizes it was the nun when she went to get her check book. Marlena questions Anna leaving her alone with the necklace. Anna mentions that the nun said she was EJ’s aunt. John then reveals that it was no nun, it was Kristen DiMera!

Kristen is outside, having removed her nun outfit and disguise nearby, and is now wearing the Sapphire necklace. Kristen declares that God helps those who help themselves.

Update written by Joseph

Jake goes home with a pizza and complains to Gabi about his day at Titan. Jake questions Gabi leaving early. Gabi informs him that she’s been spying on Philip’s laptop and she finally has what she needs to bring him down.

Philip is in his office, typing an e-mail to Brady, requesting he stop trying to seduce Chloe while he’s in a relationship with her, warning that he will pay the price if he doesn’t keep his damn hands off of her.

Belle and Shawn are at the Brady Pub. Belle is on the phone with Chloe, who tells her about Philip showing up in Pennsylvania. Belle tells Chloe that she will talk to Philip and encourages that everything will be okay. Belle hangs up and Shawn asks what that was all about.

Justin asks Bonnie if something is wrong but she says no and the ceremony continues. When it’s asked if anyone has any objections, Xander arrives and declares that he has an objection. Justin asks what the hell he’s doing here. Xander responds that Justin’s bride stole a million dollars from him and he wants it back. Justin tells him to leave now. Xander guarantees that Justin is going to want to hear this and he might even thank him. Kayla asks what this is about. Xander explains that he had a briefcase full of cash in his room that has gone missing and the only person who could’ve taken it was Bonnie. Justin asks why Bonnie would be in his room. Xander says he could think of one million reasons, but suggests asking her.

Shawn questions Belle just leaving as he’s confused because they were having dinner. Belle says she’s just going to see Philip for two seconds at Titan because Chloe asked her to talk to him. Belle mentions a boneheaded move Philip just made. Shawn asks what he did but then decides he doesn’t want to hear it unless it involves a crime and he gets to arrest him. Shawn questions Chloe not being able to handle her own relationship issues. Belle asks what kind of friend she would be if she didn’t have Chloe’s friend. Belle assures that she will be right back and tells Shawn to order their dinner. Belle kisses Shawn and then exits the Pub.

Eli and Lani are back at home. Lani puts the babies to sleep while Eli pays the nanny. Lani talks about being lucky they found their nanny. Eli agrees and asks how Lani’s first day back at work was. Lani says it was great, but admits she really missed their babies and was looking at their pictures during her breaks. Eli tells her they can do whatever she wants.

Justin asks if Bonnie went to Xander’s room. Bonnie admits she did but claims it was to invite him to the wedding because he’s family, so she thought inviting his cousin would be a nice surprise. Xander says the only surprise was her running off with all his cash, but notes that with her history, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. The justice of a peace decides to give them some time. Kayla remarks on Xander’s new habit of crashing private parties with scandalous claims. Xander points out that in the case of Eric and Nicole, he merely stated facts and that party is relevant because that’s how he earned the million dollars in question and his claim was true then, just as it is now. Xander asks Bonnie if that’s right. Bonnie asks Xander to just leave. Steve offers to show him out but Justin wants to clear this up. Justin asks if Xander witnessed Bonnie taking his money. Xander admits he didn’t because he was in the shower, but he thought he heard someone come in. Justin questions how he could be so sure it was Bonnie. Xander explains that when he came out of the shower, his key card was moved so obviously Bonnie swiped it and slipped back in to help herself to his money. Justin calls that pure conjecture. Xander understands why he’d want fair compensation to marry Bonnie but remarks that he’ll have to find some other sucker to pay. Bonnie holds Justin back. Justin turns to Bonnie and asks if any of what Xander is saying is true. Bonnie thinks back to sneaking in and stealing Xander’s money. Bonnie then asks who Justin is going to believe, Xander or the woman he loves?

Eli brings Lani candy, chips, and soda while joking about going on a stakeout to watch over their babies in the nursery. Eli says he has to ease her back in on her first day back at the job. They jokingly fight over the chips until their phones go off with a text.

Paulina tells Abe that she texted Lani and Eli to come over so she better start cooking. Abe notes that she loves having them over. Paulina asks if Abe wanted it to be just them tonight. Abe points out that they just spent Labor Day weekened together. Paulina feels that’s why they need to have them over, so they can rehash everything that happened. Abe notes that could take awhile since it was a pretty eventful weekend. Paulina adds that she knows it’s Lani’s first day back at work so she told her to bring the kids. Abe calls that very thoughtful. Paulina thinks Abe doesn’t like this idea. Abe thinks they just might be exhausted. Paulina gets a text back from Lani, saying they would love to come and will bring desert. Paulina wants to get started on the chicken so she heads to the kitchen. Abe laments that they could’ve just ordered pizza and then follows in to the kitchen.

Gabi informs Jake that Philip took the Titan jet to Wilkes-Barre, PA. Jake questions what is there. Gabi says Brady and Chloe are there so Jake says that just got a lot more interesting. Gabi explains that Brady and Chloe had the DiMera jet which had mechanical issues and they got stranded for the night, so Philip flew out there and caught them together in bed which Jake laughs at.

Belle goes to the Titan office. Philip tells her that he’s busy but Belle shuts his laptop and calls him an idiot, revealing she just got off the phone with Chloe. Belle complains that she gave him a million reasons not to go after Chloe and Brady, but he did it anyways. Philip says he caught them in bed together. Belle argues that nothing happened because Chloe is with him. Philip complains that they were spooning, so if he didn’t get there, he can guess what would’ve happened. Belle tells him that Chloe is ticked off that he doesn’t trust her. Philip argues that he does trust Chloe but there’s no chance he trusts Brady, especially after this latest stunt.

Xander says he’s not surprised that Bonnie would resort to name calling but argues that he’s not a criminal. Xander warns Bonnie about invoking his reputation when she has quite the reputation herself. Justin argues that Bonnie has changed. Steve brings up that Xander has been running drugs but Xander says those charges were dropped with no proof. Justin shouts that Xander has no proof of these absurd allegations against Bonnie, so he tells him to get the hell out now. Xander decides he’ll just go upstairs and get what he came for then. Bonnie stops him and tells him that he can’t go up there. Kayla questions why not. Bonnie thinks back to shooting Calista and telling Kayla that she was asleep. Bonnie says it’s because of Calista. Xander questions who that is. Kayla notes that she is Bonnie’s sister in law. Justin then asks what is going on with Bonnie and Calista.

Abe and Paulina finish cooking and drink wine. Abe toasts to a team effort. Paulina asks where Abe learned his way around the kitchen. Abe says it was out of necessity at first and he enjoys it. Paulina says she is impressed. Abe asks why eat take out when it’s so easy to create a meal. Abe notes that everything is done and they are just waiting on Eli and Lani to bring dessert, so he thinks they have everything covered. Paulina says she can’t wait that long for something sweet as they kiss. Paulina calls Abe quite a catch. Abe jokes that he’s the one who caught her.

Philip shows Belle the memo to Brady that he’s typing, saying he warned Brady to stay away from Chloe more than once and if he doesn’t stop, he will come after him and hurt him until he gets it through his head that Chloe is his. Belle says this is enough. Philip argues that he’s just getting started. Belle warns him that if he’s not careful, his anger towards Brady will bring himself down.

Gabi tells Jake that Philip’s anger towards Brady will be his downfall and shows him the memo that Philip is typing to Brady. Gabi explains that the keylogger she installed is showing everything in real time that Philip is typing. Jake reads it and calls it next level anger. Gabi says they just need to get Philip to act on his anger, so once he’s proven to be a jealous maniac then Victor will fire him and she can take over. Jake says or him. Gabi says they either wait for the right moment or create it. Jake asks if she’s saying they trigger Philip to go after Brady. Jake warns that if they are not careful, someone could get killed.

Bonnie reminds Kayla that Calista is sleeping upstairs. Xander promises to be very quiet. Xander exits the room, so Bonnie chases after him. A confused Justin then follows out as Steve and Kayla watch on.

Eli and Lani go to Paulina’s with a strawberry pie and their babies. Lani hopes they don’t mind that they brought the twins since they couldn’t get a babysitter. Paulina reminds that that she said to bring them. Eli comments on the food smelling good. Paulina credits Abe and jokes that he saved her from ordering pizza. Paulina gives them glasses of wine. Abe says they all spent a wonderful weekend together and they can’t get enough of them. Lani feels the same. Abe is glad that they could make it tonight. Paulina says they have a lot of rehashing to do because they had a Labor Day weekend to write home about. Lani agrees it was one for the books as they toast their wine.

Xander goes to Bonnie’s room and says after a quick look around, he will let Calista rest in peace. Xander finds Bonnie’s bag but Bonnie runs in to stop him, arguing that it’s not what he thinks. Xander states this is the money she stole from him. Bonnie tells him that he can’t have it. Xander tells her that she’s about to marry the man she loves, so if she lets him take what is his then they will both have their happily ever after and they’ll never mention this again. Bonnie agrees and tells Xander to take it, so she lets go of him but accidentally causes Xander to drop the bag which leads to some of the money and the gun falling out. Bonnie quickly picks up the gun but Xander questions what she is doing with a gun. Justin then walks in and asks Bonnie as well what she is doing with a gun.

Jake tells Gabi that Philip is a powder keg, so if they are not careful, something could go seriously wrong. Gabi questions if he really thinks Philip has the guts to murder Brady. Gabi thinks it will just be a loud, public confrontation with fists thrown so everyone will find out that Philip is an unhinged jealous maniac and they can back it up with a trail of e-mails fired off to Brady. Jake agrees that it will go against his CEO image. Gabi notes that there is more as she was researching Titan documents and found out that Philip was laundering mob money through Titan when he first started until Xander ratted him out. Jake points out that Xander ended up on the streets, not Philip, so family protects family. Gabi feels that if Philip hurts family by assaulting Brady then Victor may come down on him with some tough love. Jake agrees to find a way to push Philip to the brink of that edge.

Belle warns Philip that he will regret sending that e-mail because there will be a trail of potentially prosecutable threats which would play right in to Brady’s hands. Belle argues that Brady wants Philip to blow up so he can use it against him, so he needs to be smarter than this. Belle encourages that he has Chloe so he should just enjoy it and be happy. Belle knows Philip just needed to vent and that’s why he typed such hateful threats, but now that he’s got it out of his system, he needs to delete the e-mail. Philip agrees with Belle that he probably shouldn’t send it, but he’s going to anyways. Philip tries to send the e-mail but his computer freezes. Belle calls it fate intervening to save Philip from himself.

Kayla tells Steve that she doesn’t understand any of this. Steve thinks everything will work itself out, one way or another. Steve tells Kayla how beautiful she is as they kiss. Steve knows that Kayla is thinking Bonnie is the same old thief. Kayla brings up how Bonnie talked about Justin and their future, so she was really convinced that she had changed and she loved Justin too much to risk what they have. Steve hopes she is right.

Xander calls it obvious that Bonnie was going to use that gun to rob him. Justin asks if that’s true. Bonnie says she did not bring a gun to Xander’s room. Xander doesn’t believe her and collects his money. Justin asks Bonnie what the hell is going on. Bonnie wants to go somewhere else and let Calista sleep. Xander remarks that Calista sleeps like the dead since she hasn’t moved. Xander then walks out of the room. Justin asks Bonnie if she’s sure that Calista is okay..

Eli toasts to Lani. Paulina says she knows Lani loves her job but worries that being a cop is dangerous since she’s a mom now. Lani comments that Paulina is starting to sound like her mom now. Paulina says her days with her babies are precious. Lani says she thought long and hard about going back to the police department. Eli encourages that she wanted her kids to see what a badass detective she is. Lani then gets a call and says they are on their way. Lani hangs up and tells Eli that Rafe said they are needed on a case right now. Lani is sorry to cut the evening short. Abe tells her not to worry about it. Lani asks if Abe and Paulina can watch the twins tonight and hopes they won’t be too late. Paulina says they’d love to and agree to hold off on dessert until they get back. Paulina hugs Lani and tells her to be safe out there. Lani assures they will be okay as she and Eli exit.

Justin walks over to Calista despite Bonnie attempting to stop him. Justin then pulls back the blanket to discover that Calista is dead.

Philip tells Belle that he has his I.T. guy checking out his computer to find out what is wrong. Belle hopes that he doesn’t. Philip questions her being against freedom of expression. Belle worries that it could land him in a world of trouble. Philip says he knows what he’s doing. Belle warns that he’s running on rage right now and it’s not going to end well, so he needs to cool off or he will lose Chloe and everything important to him. Belle then storms out of the office. Philip gets a call from his I.T. guy and questions what he found on his laptop.

Gabi tells Jake that it’s weird that Philip never sent the e-mail and hasn’t typed anything in 20 minutes. Jake suggests he took a break, so maybe Gabi should too.

Kayla calls it so unfair if Justin has his heart handed to him again at another wedding. Kayla declares it can’t be true. Steve hopes she’s right, but doesn’t understand why Xander would make up the entire story about the money. Xander then returns, revealing he found his money. Kayla asks where Bonnie is. Xander informs her that she’s upstairs sobbing to Justin but she’s guilty as hell and will pay for what she did. Xander announces that he’s called the cops. Kayla questions why he did that when he got his money. Xander reveals that Bonnie had a gun and could’ve shot him, but now it seems like Justin is the one who dodged a bullet.

Justin sees that Calista has been shot and questions what Bonnie has done. Bonnie says she can explain. Justin says Bonnie stole a million dollars and her sister in law is dead in their bed, so he asks how she explains that. Lani and Eli arrive and Lani says they would like to hear that answer too.

Jake and Gabi kiss until Philip shows up at the door. Gabi asks what he’s doing here. Philip then questions why the hell she’s spying on him.

Belle returns to Shawn at the Pub. Shawn says it was perfect timing since their food should be out any minute. Shawn asks how things went with Philip. Belle says he was just as stubborn and irrational as usual. Shawn decides he doesn’t want to hear it as he doesn’t care. Belle agrees that he shouldn’t care and she’s sorry for leaving him like that. Shawn informs her that he just finished a nice long video chat with Claire. Belle hates that she missed that as she needs to catch up with her. Shawn reveals that she will have a chance to do that as he just booked them two tickets to South Africa to go see Claire. Belle says she’s so excited and hugs him.

EMTs arrive and stretcher Calista’s body out of the Kiriakis Mansion. Eli arrests Bonnie for suspicion of murder. Bonnie breaks down crying to Justin that she’s sorry as Eli reads Bonnie her rights while they escort her out of the mansion.

Paulina sits with Eli and Lani’s babies and talks to them. Paulina says that everyone in town thinks of her as their great Aunt Paulina, but they can call her grandma. Paulina whispers that it’s their little secret as Abe returns to the room.

Interview with “Curse of the Chippendales” TCA Panel

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Curse of the Chippendales logo

TCA Panel Interview with participants of “Curse of the Chippendales” on Discovery+ by Suzanne 8/16/21

If you grew up in the 70’s like I did, you might enjoy seeing this documentary series, “Curse of the Chippendales” – just for the old scenes of disco dancers if nothing else. You might also like the “true crime” aspects of it. I had no idea that the Chippendales dancers were tied in to several murders and other crimes. Full disclosure: I’ve never been to a Chippendales club or seen nude dancers. I had friends who used to drive up to see them in L.A., though. I never understood the appeal, but watching this doc has explained it a bit.

I was at the TCA press panel for this show, which streams on DISCOVERY+ beginning September 24. There were several people in the documentary at our panel: Read Scot, Former Chippendale; Michael Rapp, Former Chippendale; Candace Mayeron, Chippendales Associate Producer (1981-1987) and Eric Gilbert, Chippendales Creative Director (1983-1991). Unfortunately, these were not the people who actually filmed or made the documentary, which was rather odd. Usually they have the producers or directors, who can talk about making the documentary. Instead, these were all the people involved on the other side of the camera. As someone who usually interviews actors, producers, writers, etc., it seemed very strange. In fact, I asked who created the show, and they thought I meant the Chippendales dancing show in the 70’s! I explained what I meant. They told me that it was an organization called Lighthouse in the UK. Apparently the Chippendales’ original producer, Steve Banerjee, who was a bit of a conman, did some “nefarious actions” in both continents.Steve Banerjee

In the first segment of the show, they talk a lot about famous Playboy model Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered by her husband. I had no idea that she and Hugh Hefner used to go to the Chippendales’ club a lot. Most of us are familiar with her story, either from news articles at the time of her death, or from watching the movie “Star 80.” I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the documentary and what crimes are linked to the dance club.

Another reporter asked what the movies like “Magic Mike” get wrong in their portrayals of male exotic dancers, so the dancers and producers replied that they don’t really touch on all the hard work they put into dancing, or the excitement of being there as well as crediting Chippendales for starting it all. Gilbert applauded the late Banerjee for his successful marketing in mainstream areas, such as selling Chippendales calendars in places like Target. Former dancer Rapp thinks that what made Chippendales special was how the men catered to the women and made them feel special, even before the dancing started.

Gilbert also praised Banerjee for taking a little dump of a club “in the fringe area of Los Angeles” and making it into a fancy place with men who were dressed up (similar to Playboy bunnies) to make it more classy and make the women feel safe. Mayeron expanded on that to say that “Chippendales was the place where women came to be admired by attractive men, not to admire them.”

Premiere Date: September 24, 2021

Curse of the Chippendales tells the story of how the famous dance troupe took the LA nightclub scene by storm and ended with international fame, untold wealth, bizarre murder plots and multiple deaths trapped in their legacy. Their brand became a multi-million-dollar global venture, successful beyond their wildest dreams. But of three unlikely dreamers who were there at the beginning, only one would make it out alive. Driven by extensive video and photo archive, including never-before-seen footage and a nostalgia-filled soundtrack, viewers will be directly transported back to the ‘80s, into one of the most unexpected true crime stories of the decade. And all fueled by one thing: greed.

Rey: Glad we’re getting off to a good start.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m happy to have a do-over if, uh — what is this? That’s Connor’s.

Rey: Yeah. I’m returning it. [ Cap thuds ] I ran into him in the park earlier. I hadn’t seen him since we got back from Minnesota. Told me how much fun he’d had at lacrosse camp. Anyhow, when he took off with his nanny, I noticed he’d forgotten his cap.

Adam: Uh-huh. I remember when I bought this for Connor. He wouldn’t take it off for a week. He slept in it, took a bath in it. It’s his favorite. He would, uh, be crushed if he lost it.

Rey: Well, crisis averted.

Adam: Mm. I’m sure that he’ll want to thank you.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey, and my dad told me about what happened to Mariah and how you helped track her down. Sounds like you deserve some major props.

Rey: Devon Hamilton’s the real hero. Make a pretty good detective. He had a feeling about Stitch, and he never let it go.

Adam: Well, I had no idea that things had gotten so far off course.

Rey: You say that as if you were expecting updates. Why would you think you’re part of the inner circle?

Adam: Because I care?

Rey: About Mariah or about Sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, would you look at that. That is the longest conversation we’ve had without Sharon coming up. Sure was nice while it lasted, Rey, but your jealousy is constant.

*******************************

Mariah: You do realize your pledge to torture and destroy Stitch would get us both locked away forever?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: But I love how protective you are.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Lily was at Devon’s. She admired a picture of the baby, and said she liked that he was named Dominic – a D name for Devon. Devon didn’t expect that honor. She asked what it was like bringing a life into the world. He said it was incredible, and Abby was amazing through it all. Lily asked about Mariah, and Devon said she’d been heroic, and she stayed strong through everything she’d been through. He’d never forget the feeling of holding Dominic in his arms for the first moments in his life. He knew he’d feel a connection with Dominic, because they shared DNA, but this was something else. Lily asked about Amanda’s trip. Devon said that Amanda, Imani and Naya were on a getaway. It was a huge step, and Devon thought it’d be a good way to heal wounds from Sutton and the whole saga with Richard’s death. It meant a lot to Amanda because the trip was Naya and Imani’s idea. He asked where Billy was. He was with the kids. Lily decided to give them some alone time. Devon noted that Lily was taking care of Billy’s kids, and they were both looking after Moses. She noted that it took a village, which with Dominic’s birth, he and his parents were all a part of it too. Devon said he and Chance were technically family, through the Katherine connection. That was the main reason he wanted to be the donor – so that Dominic could have that connection. Lily said that Devon and Chance could work together to make sure Dominic was surrounded by love. She also noticed a shift in him since Dominic was born.

Devon said Amanda asked him that same question – if he regretted stepping up to be the donor, and the answer was no. he was happy he helped Abby and Chance start a family. Lily noted that, like Abby, she’d needed a surrogate. Lily wouldn’t judge of Devon’s answer was different, and she was here if he wanted to talk. He said the first time he held Dominic, he had the feeling that this was what it was like to be a father. It brought up lots of emotions. “Especially since you should’ve been a father awhile ago,” Lily said. She understood he’d think of Hilary and the baby he lost. He was sure Hilary was looking down on him and proud. She knew he missed Hilary and the baby. Lily said Devon could talk to her about that, and she wouldn’t make it about herself and the guilt she felt. She just wanted to be there for him, if he’d let her. He appreciated that. Lily asked how Abby was doing about Chance’s absence. He said Abby was doing the best she could. Lily hoped Devon took her advice not to badmouth Chance around Abby. Devon said he’d never rag on Chance to Abby. He felt sorry for Chance because he was missing out on so many moments. He thought that when Chance got home, it would really hit him hard. He didn’t even know he had a son. Lily thought that Chance would be grateful Devon looked after Abby and his son.

At their place, Abby told Mariah that they were short staffed at Society, because a hostess called in sick. Mariah offered to watch the baby. Abby said that was sweet, but it felt like too much to ask. Mariah insisted that she was happy to do it. Later, Mariah was alone with Dominic, and he was wailing, and she didn’t know what to do, because she’d already taken care of all his needs. Abby came home at some point later and made a beeline to the bassinet with a smile on her face. She was caught off guard when she found it empty. Abby yelled out that she’d found someone to come in to work, so Mariah was off the hook for babysitting. Abby told herself that Mariah might be feeding or rocking the baby. She raced upstairs calling Mariah’s name. Abby called Devon and told her that Mariah and Dom were gone, and she left her phone behind. Devon said not to freak out – he’d be right over. Devon brought Lily up to speed, and she understood he had to leave.

Mariah brought the baby inside, and Abby asked what happened. Mariah explained that he was crying, and she called the pediatrician who recommended a walk. It clearly helped, since he was sleeping now. Abby pointed out that Mariah didn’t leave a note or take her phone. Mariah was sorry – her brain short circuited due to the crying – must be the hormones. Abby said the last time Mariah disappeared with the baby, she’d been gone for three weeks. Abby almost called the police. Mariah was really sorry, but she just took the baby out for a walk on the grounds. There was no need for alarm. Devon showed up, and Abby told him that Mariah just took Dom for a walk, and she thought she’d be back before Abby was home from work. Abby took Dom to bed. Mariah apologized, explaining that she didn’t want to bother Abby at work, and she thought she could handle it alone. When Dom started crying his head off, she had no idea what to do. She was worried he was sick, so she called the pediatrician. Devon thought Mariah did the right thing. Mariah said she got so panicky and flustered that she forgot her phone. She crumbled under the pressure. Devon noted that Mariah got expert advice and did what the baby needed, and it all worked out. He was happy she was with Dom and that she followed her natural instincts. Abby was on her way back, and she looked worried when Mariah said “Man this being a mom thing is not for wimps. It’s a lot harder than it looks.”

Adam and Victor were at the office. The initial reviews of the launch were positive, and none of them mentioned Phyllis dumping water on Sally. Adam had to go, because he had dinner plans. “You’re not meeting that woman are you?,” Victor asked. Adam confirmed that he was meeting Sally. Victor thought Sally should be fired for throwing a drink in Phyllis’s face at the launch party. Adam asserted that Phyllis provoked Sally, so both women shared the blame. Victor asked if Adam could blame Phyllis after what Sally did to Summer. Adam wasn’t interested in Sally and Phyllis’s personal details. He was having a working dinner. “Is that what they call it now,” Victor asked. Victor thought Adam should stay here and come up with a strategy for dealing with ChancComm. Adam said they’d discuss it later, but now, Sally was waiting for him.

Elena and Nate met Victoria and Ashland for dinner at Society. Elena and Nate had two nights off in a row, which was unheard of, so they got to enjoy and relax tonight. They saw Sally come in and look around. Sally took a seat at the bar, while the two couples headed to the lounge.

Nate talked about robotic surgery, the kind of technology, they could purchase due to Ashland’s generous donation. Ashland preferred that they discuss another topic, anything was fine, as long as it wasn’t about his health situation. Elena inquired about their wedding plans. That was Victoria’s favorite subject. She shared the details off screen. Nate imagined it must be challenging to organize an event on another continent. Victoria said Nikki found someone in Italy to coordinate things. Elena asked about the dress, and across the room, Sally perked up and listened in. Victoria was hoping that Summer’s boss would do it, but she understood that Angelina Marchetti might be booked up. Adam strolled in and said hello. Victoria suggested that Adam found his perfect match in Sally. Adam thought it seemed that Victoria and Ashland had. He was happy for them.

The waiter showed Adam and Sally to their table. She noted that he got a kick out of letting everyone know their barbs didn’t get to him. He said it was a game, and you develop thick skin. She thought she could learn a lot from him. Sally was glad she and Adam downshifted from a date to a working dinner, so they could ignore all those “what not to do on a date” things. She said she wore her comfy shoes, and he was twenty minutes late. Glancing under the table, he said those weren’t comfy shoes, and he was sorry for being late. She told him it was fine, it was better than him bailing, and she guessed there was pressure on him to do that. She said it wasn’t her first time hanging out with an SOB – son of a billionaire who didn’t realize he was one until he grew up. Adam was surprised to hear that, and Sally said there were more of them than he thought, and they could start a club.

Sally told Adam about a time she manipulated the Forresters when she was in L.A. They included her designs in their collection because they thought she was dying. She admitted she was wrong to do it, but it didn’t hurt anyone, and her designs were good. Adam commented on Sally praising her own work. She said Ridge and Eric wouldn’t have included her designs if they weren’t good, and if the designs had actually made it down the runway, they would’ve all made a lot of money. She refused to be humble about her career – she was a good designer, with an unfortunate tenancy to get in her own way. She thought he could relate. He admitted she was right.

Adam made a couple comments on the dress Sally designed for Victoria; all complimentary. She thought he made just enough commentary to prove this was a working dinner in case anyone asked. He asked if she wanted him to say something else. She was curious why he agreed to come here since they agreed it wasn’t a date, but the work-related conversation they had only lasted five minutes. He said he was here for the scintillating conversation. She suggested that he was hoping the news of this non-date would get back to someone in particular and make them jealous. He suggested she was hoping Jack would hear about it. She said she hadn’t thought about Jack once since this dinner started. She was too busy enjoying herself, and whether or not he admitted it, she thought he had been too.

Nate entertained everyone with a story about a wedding he’d been at, where it momentarily looked like the groom had been stood up, but in reality, the bride had just twisted her ankle on her way to the altar. Nate had taped up her ankle, and the wedding went forward. Ashland thought Nate sounded like the guy to have on hand in a crisis. That reminded Nate of something that happened when he was a groomsman, but Elena didn’t think that Victoria and Ashland needed to hear more wedding horror stories. Victoria admitted she could tell a few of her own, but she was determined that her day with Ashland would be perfect.

Elena and Victoria connected over a shared love of cooking podcasts. Elena didn’t know Victoria liked to cook. Victoria clarified that she hated it, and she was terrible at it, but Ashland said Victoria made a fine grilled cheese. Victoria liked the fantasy of creating the perfect dish. Elena was an okay cook, and she kind of enjoyed it, but she didn’t have that time. She thought her old roommate would be appalled by how she was eating lately, but Nate thought Lola would be impressed by how Elena was spending her time making a difference in people’s lives. The ladies went to freshen up, and Ashland observed that Nate knew how lucky he was to have Elena. Nate confirmed that he did.

Ashland showed Nate pictures of Harrison eating gelato. He asked if Nate had kids. Nate hoped to someday, but he’d learned you couldn’t make firm plans in your personal life. That made Ashland ask if Nate had been married before. Nate had been engaged once, but she passed away. Ashland now understood why Nate didn’t react to his diagnosis like others did. He said Nate didn’t have that squeamishness or distance. Ashland thought that was because Nate had gone through his own personal loss and grief, and he didn’t see it as foreign or frightening. Elena and Victoria returned and watched from a distance as the guys talked. Victoria said Nate stepped up in a big way for Ashland. She thought he was a good man. Elena agreed.

Elena and Nate went to Victoria and Ashland’s home. The men retired to the living room, and Nate asked if Victoria’s kids were going to Italy for the wedding. Ashland hoped so. Tuscany was so beautiful in the fall, and he hoped they got to see it. Nate recalled taking a trip there with his mother when he was young. He saw a lot of Europe in boarding school, but he hadn’t been since then. Ashland knew this might be a bit presumptuous, but he asked Nate to be his best man. Nate was startled and asked if Ashland was sure – they just met. Ashland was able to size people up quickly, and Nate was a brilliant and kind man who understood what Ashland was going through. Nate was sure Ashland had friends in NY. Ashland said most of the relationships he had in NY were of a professional, not personal nature. Frankly, most people were having a having a difficult time with his medical situation. He asked Nate to consider it.

Later, after drinks, Elena and Nate got up to leave. All had enjoyed themselves. Ashland asked Nate to get back to him, and Nate said he would. Victoria saw the guests out, and Ashland showed his exhaustion. Victoria came back and asked if he was okay. He said he might have to take it easy tomorrow, but it was worth it for a day like this. She hoped they had many more like this. She cuddled against him, and he kissed kissed her.

Lauren dropped by Jack’s place. Michael was working late on the Sutton Ames trial, so Lauren decided to see if Jack wanted to have dinner. He didn’t want to go out, but he suggested Chinese takeout. He had spicy beef, and she had cashew chicken. He reported that Summer sent a video of Harrison helping her cook in an outdoor pizza oven. He marveled at how easily Harrison adapted. Lauren said that he must miss his mom. He said the one authentic thing about Tara was that she was committed to her little boy. He regretted pressuring Phyllis to lay off Tara and Sally. Lauren said their dear friend had a gift for reading people. He added that Summer and Kyle owed their happiness to Phyllis. Jack’s fortune cookie predicted that good things were ahead for his love life. He wasn’t sure what would happen for him, but he was glad Kyle and Summer were happy together. He said they were planning a small wedding ceremony in Italy, nothing on the scale of what Ashland and Victoria had planned. He was glad that Kyle and Summer scaled back their plans a bit. He thought they learned that they already had everything they needed to be happy without all the extras. Lauren asked if Jack had everything he needed to be happy.

Jack thought Lauren was going to stop pestering him about his romantic life. She noted that she never agreed to that. She was sure the house must be quiet without Kyle and Harrison. He said he’d been looking forward to having a happy little kid like Harrison around for Halloween and other holidays. Lauren suggested they might visit. He knew he’d still have to get used to the quiet and all the extra time he had on his hands. He did have Jabot and the Abbott-Winters Foundation. She thought he needed something to pour his heart into, and it didn’t have to be romantic. He said he’d concluded that he had his share of grand passions. Being a grandpa really fed his heart. He could interact with Harrison on the phone, but it wasn’t the same. Lauren thought Jack made the idea of being a grandparent sound appealing, not that her sons were close to settling down. Jack said the day would come, and Lauren would love it.

Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem Update

"Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem"

Update written by Joseph

Eli, Lani, Abe, and Paulina have lunch on the beach. Paulina says it’s her treat and tells them to just enjoy the view. Lani comments on the people watching while Paulina remarks that you never know who is going to show up at your table. Two men then approach the table and demand the ring. Abe asks what’s going on as one of the men pull out a gun. Paulina says she knows exactly what’s going on as a similar thing happened to a friend of hers in Beverly Hills. Paulina tells the thieves that they are not taking her ring as it was a gift from her close friend Michelle. Paulina refuses to hand over the ring. The man warns that he’s a highly trained mercenary and threatens to blow her head off.

John and Marlena greet Anna and Tony at the auction in Zurich. Anna jokes about the language and says that Carrie and Austin are the main reason they are here. Marlena says they are going to try to see them tomorrow. Anna never thought of John as the auction house kind of guy. John says he figured he’d try to find something in his price range but Anna warns it will be expensive here. Marlena asks if they are here for something specific or just browsing. Anna shows them the picture of the sapphire necklace which is the same one they came for. John asks to talk to Anna for a second.

Chad suggests leaving the Penthouse suite when Will doesn’t answer but they are shocked when Sonny’s ex Leo Stark answers the door. Leo jokes that Sonny doesn’t seem happy to see him and questions if Sonny is cheating on Will with Chad. Leo invites them in to have room service. Leo jokes that Sonny has traded up. Sonny yells at Leo that this isn’t a joke. Will then comes out from the back, surprised to see that Sonny is there.

After Billie drags Ben away, a man approaches Ciara to ask her a few questions.

Ben tells Billie that he doesn’t know how the couple that bought the gem got away when they were just in front of them. Billie sees the man with Ciara as he says he wants to show something to her. As the man reaches in to his jacket, Billie assumes he has a gun and rushes back over to tackle him. Ben runs up to check on Ciara as the man tells Billie that he doesn’t have a gun, he was reaching for his badge. He reveals he is Agent Kyle Graham of the ISA and tells Billie that it’s nice to meet her.

John tells Anna that there is something she needs to know about the sapphire but the auction is about to begin. Anna thinks she knows everything she needs to know about the necklace so her and Tony head back inside. John tells Marlena that Anna seems happy to be here. Marlena comments that Anna will be bidding on the necklace and wonders if that’s a coincidence or if Anna and Tony are the people that Shane warned them about. John says Anna has done shady things in the past but he can’t imagine Tony doing that. John says they can’t let them get the necklace either way. Marlena points out that Anna won’t back down so she asks what to do. John says they will outbid her.

Billie finishes a call with her ISA contact, confirming Agent Kyle Graham’s identity. Billie argues that he should’ve identified himself before talking to her contacts and says he pissed her off. She asks what he’s even doing here. Kyle responds that he’s following orders as Shane sent him to be her backup. Billie argues that she doesn’t need help. Kyle questions if she identified the people arranging to buy the gem in the window. Billie explains that the owner sold it to a couple before she got to it which Kyle mocks. Billie insists that she’s got it and just needs until tonight to find out the couple. Kyle reveals that he’s one step ahead of her as he already knows who they are.

Leo swears it’s not what it looks like. Sonny turns around and punches Leo down. Will holds Sonny back as Sonny yells at him to get off of him. Will questions what Sonny is doing. Sonny accuses Will of cheating on him and complains about finding Will with Leo in his robe. Will assures that he hasn’t forgotten who Leo is and what he did. Chad encourages Sonny to let Will talk. Sonny asks Will what the hell this is then. Leo gets back up and tells Sonny that he’s sorry to say, Will only wants him for his Peacock.

The thieves continue to threaten Paulina over her ring. Paulina refuses to give it. Lani urges her to just give him the ring. Paulina cries that she loves it. The man asks if she loves the people at this table so Paulina gives in and hands over the ring then tells them to leave them alone. The two men rush off with the ring while Eli and Lani chase after them.

John and Marlena joke about the auction. The sapphire necklace then goes up for bidding, starting at 25,000 Euros from Anna. John bids 50,000. Anna asks Tony why John is bidding against her. Another man bids 75,000 so Marlena wonders if that’s the man that Shane warned them about. Anna bids 100,000. The official steps away as they have a bidder on the phone. Tony questions Anna’s bid. Anna insists that Austin is counting on them and Carrie’s marriage depends on it.

Austin looks at a picture of the sapphire necklace and remarks that he sure hopes Anna and Tony come through. Carrie comes in to the room and tells Austin that she decided to call Anna to make sure she and Tony got settled in, but she didn’t pick up, so she called the front desk and they have no record of Anna and Tony checking in.

Sonny questions Will as to what the hell the Peacock that Leo is referring to. Will explains that it’s a statue of a peacock that was stolen in Alamania 30 years ago and the statue was priceless. Chad questions that. Leo questions him never hearing of the Alamanian Peacock. Will explains that it included six gems but was stolen by Hope as Princess Gina. Will says the case went cold but recently, the peacock was recovered without the gems. Will adds that he got an anonymous tip that he could be led to one of the gems, the emerald, but when he showed up, he found Leo. Sonny questions Will meeting with Leo about an emerald this whole time. Will assures that he headed straight for the door when he saw Leo, but his information sounded legit as he knew enough details to convince him that he’s telling the truth. Will tells Sonny that Leo has been stringing him along for weeks, but yesterday he told him that he could lead him to the emerald so he swears this is the only reason he’s here. Leo remarks that this time, Will is telling the truth.

Billie asks Kyle who the couple is that bought the gem from the shop. Kyle informs her that they are Miles and Sophie Faversham who live in a mansion in the garden district and they’ve been making inquiries but he doesn’t know how they knew the amethyst gem was on the market. Billie recognizes the last name from Lili Faversham. Kyle confirms that they are her grandson and his wife. Ben asks who Lili is. Billie mentions that she knew Princess Gina. Kyle says there is nothing legit about this purchase. Billie adds that there is a network behind this. Kyle says they need to get the broach back and he knows just where to do it as the Favershams are having a party tomorrow. Billie suggests she go dressed as Princess Gina but Kyle warns that it will be very risky. Kyle mentions that he does have a lead on the emerald. Ciara points out that the Favershams know Princess Gina, but not her daughter.

Sonny questions Leo being Will’s source and asks if Will checks for hidden cameras when he comes over. Sonny can’t believe Will is trusting Leo after what he did to him. Will insists that he doesn’t trust Leo and that he’s a slimy informant who has been milking him for everything he can get. Will complains that Leo promised him a source today but then hit him up for a massage. Sonny questions why Will didn’t just tell him instead of sneaking around. Will worried that Sonny would freak out if he knew he was dealing with Leo. Sonny complains that’s because Leo is going to con Will, just like he did to him and he’s going to get blackmailed. Leo reminds them of when they stuffed him in the trunk of a car. Sonny questions Will really thinking Leo has a source and argues that no one would trust him with where to find a stolen emerald. Will gives in and says Sonny wins so they should go home. Leo tells them to go ahead but Chad stops them and says not to go quite yet.

Billie asks what Ciara is talking about. Ciara brings up Princess Gina having a daughter named Greta, so she can pass herself off as her. Kyle argues that the last thing they need is to involve a civilian. Billie argues that Ciara’s parents were great cops, so she thinks she would be fine. Ciara adds that she knows everything there is to know about Princess Gina so they can’t trip her up. Kyle calls it highly unusual but feels they have no choice. Billie says the party is invitation only, but they can get her on the guest list. Ciara asks if she can bring Ben. Ben is unsure but Ciara insists that Greta wouldn’t show up without an escort. Billie says they can just do some ballroom dancing. Ben is unsure of that but Billie encourages that it’s their honeymoon. Billie says to leave it to her and suggests she and Kyle show them some moves. Kyle responds that he doesn’t dance so Billie says she will do the dancing for the both of them.

The auction continues as Anna bids 425,000 Euros. John then bids 450,000. Anna complains that John and Marlena know she wants the necklace so she asks Tony why John is bidding against her. Tony suggests Austin buy Carrie some flowers instead of a necklace for half a million Euros. Anna calls that dumb. The man up front bids 475,000 but then someone whispers to the official and he declares they must stop the action. He calls security to remove the man up front as John wonders if that was the guy Shane warned about.

Abe tells Paulina that Lani and Eli know what they are doing and encourages her to breathe. Paulina complains about the man holding a gun on Lani. Abe calls for police backup while Paulina remains panicked and prays for nothing to happen to her baby. Eli and Lani chase the thieves. Eli manages to tackle one of them, while the other one turns and fires a shot at Lani.

Austin tells Carrie that it is strange that the hotel doesn’t have a record of Anna and Tony checking in. Austin suggests they used another name. Carrie questions why they would do that. Austin points out that the DiMera name is notorious because of Stefano. Carrie says Anna has no problem but Austin suggests Tony might have thought better of it. Carrie comments that Anna always gets what she wants. Carrie decides to go to the hotel to make sure everything is okay.

Anna asks Marlena why John is bidding against her when he knows she’s not going to stop. Marlena explains that they weren’t actually bidding against her. Anna clarifies that she’s not bidding on the necklace for herself, but for Austin so he can give it to Carrie and then she’ll forgive him and they’ll be happy again. Marlena questions Austin and Carrie not being happy. Anna says that might have been indiscreet. Anna asks them to just bid on something else for Carrie’s sake. Marlena is afraid they can’t do that but clarifies that they aren’t bidding for themselves either. Marlena reveals that John is working undercover for the ISA to retrieve the necklace and that he was trying to explain that to her when the auction began. Marlena asks if now Anna understands. Tony says of course they do and tells Anna to stop bidding. Marlena thanks Tony as the auction is then resumed.

Lani dodges the shots fired and the man takes off. Lani takes the gun off the man that Eli tackled and holds the gun on him while Eli chases after the other man. Paulina calls out asking if Lani is alright. Lani assures that she’s fine. Abe adds that he has called this in. Eli comes back, revealing the man got away and he only got the end of his license plate. Paulina yells at the first man, asking who put him up to this. He asks why he should tell her. Eli warns that he’s a police officer, so he better tell him as he asks who he works for.

Chad warns Leo that his last name is DiMera and his family has a very long history of dealing with informants and people who don’t deliver on their promises, so he suggests this would a very good moment for Leo to be completely forthcoming. Chad asks if Will had any questions for Leo. Will tells Leo that he booked this hotel room to meet with his contact and asks if there is such a person and when they will get here. Leo swears that there is but he can’t get them here today, but he can tomorrow. Will refuses to pay for another night here. Chad advises Will to not let Leo out of his sight. Leo guesses that means he’s coming home with them and jokes that it’s a sleepover.

Billie plays music on her phone and begins ballroom dancing with Kyle in front of Ben and Ciara and a crowd of spectators. Everyone applauds as they finish.

Lani asks the man who he works for but he refuses to talk. Eli asks what if Lani shoots him. He argues that he knows as cops that they won’t. Paulina wishes she could. Eli suggests maybe he’ll start talking when he realizes no one is going to bail him out.

Ciara praises Billie’s ballroom dancing. Billie says it helps to have a great partner and admits she did not expect that out of Kyle. Ciara jokes that she and Ben should go practice that. Billie says she will work on getting on the guest list and notes that Ben still needs a cover. Billie then gets an idea and gives Ciara her tiara, noting that the people will need to believe she is Princess Greta von Amberg.

Sonny remarks that he hates this idea on 15 different levels. Leo says he’ll get dressed while they figure this out. Leo comments to Chad that every relationship has ups and downs as he steps out. Chad apologizes to Sonny and Will for butting in. Sonny says he’s not mad at Chad. Sonny asks if Will has any idea how much he’s asking him to put up with. Will says it’s only for one night and he really believes that Leo does have a contact. Will adds that it could be a major story for him. Will promises to make it up to Sonny. Sonny says he owes him a lot more than just one night. Sonny complains about thinking Will was cheating on him this whole time. Will is sorry and never wanted Sonny to doubt him. Will promises to take a few weeks off after this story and says they can take the trip to Paris that they talked about. Sonny jokes that this is emotional blackmail but admits it’s kind of working.

The auction official announces that the man who was escorted out was there under false pretenses so the last official bid was 450,000 from John. He prepares to call it but Anna bids 500,000. Tony questions what she’s doing. Anna declares that she’s winning that necklace. John can’t find his paddle to raise a bid but finds that Anna stole it as Tony unintentionally raises it up, bidding 525,000 and the necklace is sold to him.

Eli and Lani rejoin Paulina and Abe at Paulina’s house. They explain that the man was booked for armed robbery but he’s still not talking. Eli says they are sorry but Paulina says she’s the one who should be sorry as she promised them glitz and glamour and ended up with a man taking off with her ring. Lani tells her not to worry as they will find out who did this. Eli promises they will get her ring back.

Austin stops Carrie and asks her not to go. Austin pretends that he just got a text from Tony, claiming the hotel didn’t have a room with a view so they switched hotels. Carrie admits that makes sense and decides she will call Anna but Austin continues claiming that Tony said they were exhausted and going to sleep so they will see them tomorrow. Carrie decides to get ready for bed then. Austin says he will too after he responds to Tony’s text. Carrie then exits to the bedroom. Austin remarks that he dodged that bullet and goes back to looking at the picture of the sapphire necklace.

Tony tells John and Marlena that he had nothing to do with this as he returns John’s paddle. Anna retrieves the sapphire necklace and exits with Tony. Marlena asks John what he will tell Shane.

Ben and Ciara return to their hotel room. Ciara asks if they should start practicing dancing. Ben says he’ll need all the practice he can get after watching Billie and Kyle. They kiss and then Ben jokes that he’s never danced with a princess before. Ciara says that makes him her Prince Charming. Ben adds that he’s never made love to a princess before either. Ciara says there’s a first time for everything as they continue kissing onto the bed.

Will asks if Sonny can put up with Leo for a night. Sonny repeats that he doesn’t like this and he doesn’t trust Leo, but he knows to keep his enemies close. Leo jokes about riding in the trunk and asks Chad to grab his bags for him. Sonny reminds Chad that it was his big idea as they exit.

Update written by Joseph

After rescuing Julie from the freezer, Jack wants to take Julie to the emergency room. Julie refuses to go anywhere until they find Doug. Jack promises that they will but Julie asks how when he’s not answering his phone. Julie then declares that she thinks she knows what happened.

Kayla tells Steve that she doesn’t get why Bonnie isn’t coming to get ready. Steve explains that she said she got hung up getting a manicure and said it’d be easier to get ready here. Steve adds that he’s calling because Bonnie needs her makeup bag. Kayla guesses they are on their way then and hangs up. Justin asks what’s going on with Bonnie. Kayla responds that she has no idea.

Xander informs Gwen that Bonnie came by to invite him to the wedding, saying she wanted him to represent the Kiriakis family since the others refused to attend. Xander says he thought it was odd but she reminded him that she volunteered to be Sarah’s maid of honor at the last minute. Gwen wonders if it was all just pretense so she could come in and steal the million dollars from the briefcase. Xander says he would, except he saw her leave without it.

Bonnie demands Calista give her the gun. Calista says she’s sorry but she’s not getting the gun. Calista then turns the gun to Bonnie and declares that she’s getting the bullet. Bonnie asks what she’s talking about since she gave her the money. Calista complains that Bonnie stole her husband’s life so now she is going to pay with her’s. Bonnie argues that she can’t do this on her wedding day. Calista tells Bonnie to forget about becoming Bonnie Kiriakis and declares that today, she dies.

Xander says Bonnie must have taken the money since she was the only person there before EJ came. Xander mentions that he checked the briefcase once an hour to make sure it was there. Gwen questions what happened if Bonnie didn’t leave with it. Xander thinks back to Bonnie’s visit and realizes the key card is not where he left it, so Bonnie must have swiped it and got back into the room to steal his money. Xander declares that Bonnie will rue the day that she crossed him.

Bonnie pleads that Calista can’t shoot her as she doesn’t know the whole story. Calista says all she needs to know is that Bonnie killed her husband. Bonnie argues that she did everything she asked and got her a million dollars. Bonnie asks what more she wants. Calista calls it an eye for an eye. Bonnie argues that she hasn’t thought this through and asks what about when Xander comes after her since he will figure it out. Calista argues that Xander will pin Bonnie for stealing the money. Bonnie says she will tell him the truth but Calista points out that she’ll be dead. Bonnie brings up EJ and the DiMeras, suggesting she take the money and run. Calista says this will only take a minute.

Julie tells Jack that Doug locked her in the freezer to protect her since there was a robbery nearby so she worries that Doug has been kidnapped.

Doug is at the Brady Pub, ordering a burger and fries from Roman.

Gwen tells Xander to slow down asks why Bonnie would steal a million dollars from him when she’s just about to marry a multi-millionaire. Gwen questions how Bonnie even knew Xander had the money. Xander decides he’s going to show up at her wedding and find out. Gwen blames herself, saying it’s all her fault because Xander confessed to her crime and now he’s tangled up with EJ with the money gone as well as his job. Gwen notes that he did all this because he tried to protect her. Xander says it was his choice, but asks Gwen not to tell Jack that she had her miscarriage before Abigail pushed her down the stairs because if she does that, everything he’s done will be for nothing.

The wedding officiant arrives at the Kiriakis Mansion and asks if he’s in the right place. Steve assures that he is. He sees the photos of Justin and Adrienne then assumes it’s a remarriage but Steve explains that it’s not a remarriage. He questions the photos so Steve explains that it’s not Bonnie, but his late sister Adrienne. He questions if Justin fell in love with Adrienne’s twin. Steve guesses he’s wondering what he got himself into. He responds that life can be complicated. Steve hopes that all the drama is behind them now that the wedding day is finally here.

Bonnie tells Calista that she can’t kill her and warns her about Victor. Calista argues that Victor wouldn’t even come to her wedding so she bets he doesn’t care. Bonnie reminds her that Steve is downstairs and will catch her so she will lose her money and go to prison. Calista responds that she knows how to get away with murder because she watched her. Calista declares that she will use a silencer so no one will know it happened or care.

Julie tells Jack that they have to call the police. Jack thinks she may be getting carried away. Julie worries that Doug is in danger. Jack thinks there could be other explanations. Jack asks if it’s possible they had a fight. Julie says of course not but notes that Doug was miffed when she changed out his espresso for tea. Julie then admits that they had a small fight and Doug can show his temper when his blood sugar gets low. Jack suggests maybe Doug decided they needed to cool off a little bit and asks if that’s possible. Julie guesses it is but questions where Doug would go when he’s 96 years old and couldn’t get far on foot. Julie declares that she’s going to go find him and rushes out of Julie’s Place.

Roman asks Doug where Julie is since he never sees them here alone. Doug responds that Julie is very busy, watching his cholesterol. Doug says he prefers good red meat and fries. Doug makes sure Roman won’t tell her about this. Roman agrees not to tell Julie as Doug has a beer. Doug says that’s awfully nice of him and accidentally calls him John. Roman corrects him but says it’s not the first time since John went by his name for the better part of a decade. Doug says those were wild days when everyone thought Roman was dead and John got back together with Vivian. Roman points out that he means Marlena. Doug questions how he could mix up Marlena with Vivian and remarks that he must be losing it as he calls him John again.

Gwen reminds Xander that she already told Jack that he was lying to protect her and she was the one running drugs or Dr. Snyder, so she can’t go back on that and Jack will be looking for answers. Xander encourages her to lie and asks if she will. Gwen questions lying to her father. Xander points out that if she tells Jack that she falsely blamed Abigail for her miscarriage which caused her to leave town and quite possibly destroyed her marriage, there’s a chance that Jack’s forgiveness wore thin. Gwen argues that she’s his daughter too. Xander asks how she thinks it will turn out if he blames her for losing his other daughter. Xander asks if she wants to throw everything with Jack away because of his reputation. Gwen feels that Xander doesn’t deserve this. Xander insists that he’ll be fine. Gwen points out that nobody has ever sacrificed so much for her before. Xander responds that she’s worth it.

Julie returns to Julie’s Place and tells Jack that one of the cooks saw Doug walking out the front door and he kept on walking when she waved. Julie gets a call from Roman. Julie tells him that she can’t talk now because Doug is missing. Roman informs her that he’s not missing, he’s at the Pub. Julie lets Jack know and is relieved as she’s been worried sick. Julie tells Roman to tell Doug to come back to Julie’s Place immediately. Roman thinks it would be better if she came here.

The wedding officiant mentions to Steve that he didn’t eat lunch, assuming that a wedding at the Kiriakis Mansion would have a big spread, so Steve sends him to the kitchen to eat. Justin and Kayla then arrive. Steve mentions not seeing Bonnie since she went upstairs with Calista. Kayla decides she will go see what’s going on.

Calista asks Bonnie if she’s ready to go to Hell. Bonnie says they will see who goes there first as she grabs the gun and they struggle over it, until the gun goes off and Calista is shot. Calista then collapses onto the bed.

Julie and Jack go to the Brady Pub to find Doug. Julie is thankful that he’s alright. Doug says she caught him in the act as he needed some meat. Julie says she doesn’t care about the burger. Doug invites her to join him and orders beers on him. Julie clarifies that she didn’t come to drink even though her blood still needs to be thawed out after he locked her in the freezer and walked away. Doug questions her and says he would never do that. Julie explains that he did and she had to call Jack to rescue her. Doug is glad she’s safe but thinks she’s confusing him with someone else and asks if she’s sure she’s okay. Jack suggests he and Doug get Julie home. Doug points out that he hasn’t finished his burger and he wanted a piece of cake. Roman says he’ll wrap it all up.

Steve offers Justin a shot of whiskey for his nerves. Justin claims he’s not nervous, but worried about Bonnie since she’s been real jittery since Calista showed up. Justin mentions them planning to have breakfast but she took off on some errand without a word and then didn’t show up at Kayla’s. Steve adds that Bonnie was definitely jittery when she got here this morning. Justin brings up that Kayla said Bonnie seemed really upset last night about Calista but she didn’t want to talk about it. Steve confirms that Kayla told him the same. Steve remarks that Calista is quite the character as she made a pass at him. Steve adds that Calista was very cagey about being asked questions and asks if Justin knows much about her. Justin admits he doesn’t as Bonnie never mentioned her before she showed up. Justin hopes that Calista will disappear to where she came from when the wedding is over.

Bonnie begins to panic as Calista is dead. Kayla knocks on the door. Bonnie cries that this can’t be happening. Bonnie tells Kayla that she’s not decent. Kayla asks if she needs help getting ready. Bonnie claims she’s good but Kayla doesn’t think so since she has her makeup bag. Bonnie tells her to just leave it there. Kayla reminds her that she’s the matron of honor so it’s her job to help her get ready. Kayla then begins to open the door.

Jack and Julie get Doug home and to bed. Julie tells Jack that Doug didn’t get any sleep last night which is why he was a little off. Jack informs her that Roman told him that Doug called him John earlier. Julie blows it off as being confusing for years. Jack adds that Doug also confused Marlena and Vivian. Jack knows nobody wants to think about this, but he thinks Doug should see a doctor. Julie tells him not to even say that as he’s just tired and needs some rest, then he’ll be fine.

Xander asks what Gwen will tell Jack. Gwen says she doesn’t know. Gwen adds that one positive is that Jack won’t think Xander is a drug runner anymore, so he won’t get in the way of them potentially seeing one another. Xander asks if that’s what she wants. Gwen says maybe, but he needs to go get his money now and she needs to think about what she’s going to say to Jack. Xander stops Gwen and kisses her. Gwen asks what that was for. Xander says it was for luck as Gwen then exits.

Justin looks at a photo of he and Adrienne and says part of him can’t believe he’s going through with this. Justin knows that Steve thought he was crazy or that he was only attracted to Bonnie because she reminded him of Adrienne. Justin says at first he was right, even though they couldn’t be any more different. Justin declares that right now he’s not looking for another Adrienne, he just wants to be able to live and laugh again. Justin says if he wasn’t confident that Bonnie has turned her life around, there’s no way he could ever get past what she did to Adrienne. Justin adds that he’s done a lot of things he’s not proud of. Justin knows it took a lot for Steve to agree to be his best man and he appreciates his support. Steve just wants Justin to be happy. Justin says that’s the plan.

Kayla enters the bedroom and asks Bonnie what happened. Bonnie claims a pillow just exploded. Kayla asks about Calista. Bonnie claims that Calista said she wasn’t feeling well and just keeled over. Kayla offers to examine her but Bonnie says she can’t. Kayla questions why not. Bonnie claims she already knows what’s wrong since Calista had mimosas for breakfast and started puking. Bonnie says she finally fell asleep so she doesn’t want to wake her. Kayla relates to the feeling after drinking last night. Kayla comments that Calista might sleep through the wedding when she came all this way for the occasion. Kayla asks if Bonnie is alright. Bonnie claims that she is but Kayla notes her shaking and asks about her broken nail.

Steve pours drinks for he and Justin as they toast to the light being back in Justin’s eyes. The wedding officiant comes back in and praises the food from the kitchen. He’s happy to see there is two people now but warns that it’s getting late and he has another gig, so he asks if they are starting soon. Justin says he sure hopes so.

Bonnie guesses she lost her nail when Calista fell over and she tried to catch her Bonnie starts crying about nothing going right on the most important day of her life. Kayla asks if she’s sure she is alright. Bonnie says Justin is the best thing to ever happen to her and she just wants to marry him before something else goes wrong. Kayla says she will but they need to take care of some rituals first. Kayla suggests Bonnie get in to her dress so she can get married.

Jack tells Julie that she and Doug have been married for more than half of their lives so she doesn’t want to think about it but it could be something treatable or it could be nothing at all. Jack thinks they should get him checked out so she will have peace of mind. Jack thinks Julie should get checked out after being in the freezer too. Julie declares that she’s not going anywhere and neither is Doug.

Steve warns Justin that if they don’t get started, he’s worried that the justice of the peace will move on so he’s going to check on the ladies. Kayla then enters the room with Bonnie. Steve asks Kayla about Calista. Kayla responds that she’s indisposed. Justin asks if Bonnie is ready. Bonnie says she’s more ready than she’s been in her entire life.

Jack sits with Julie as Gwen comes home. Gwen didn’t expect him back so soon and hopes Julie is okay. Julie is sure Gwen was praying that she would turn in to a popsicle. Julie decides to go check on Doug and exits the room. Gwen asks Jack what is wrong with Doug. Jack responds that they are not exactly sure.

Justin and Bonnie’s wedding ceremony begins. When it’s asked if anyone has any objections, Bonnie imagines Calista interrupting.

Gwen asks if Jack thinks Doug has dementia. Jack says he doesn’t know but Julie is in denial that anything is wrong. Gwen insists that she’s really sorry and that Doug is a good person. Jack asks what Gwen was going to tell her before Julie called about Dr. Snyder holding something over her to make her run drugs for him. Gwen wants to talk about it another time but Jack says now. Gwen notes how worried he is about Doug and says she has to run an errand. Jack points out that she just got home. Gwen says she won’t be long and she’s sorry as she rushes out of the house.

Justin asks Bonnie if something is wrong but she says no and the ceremony continues. When it’s asked if anyone has any objections, Xander arrives and declares that he has an objection. Justin asks what the hell he’s doing here. Xander responds that Justin’s bride stole a million dollars from him and he wants it back. Justin tells him to leave now. Xander guarantees that Justin is going to want to hear this and he might even thank him. Kayla asks what this is about. Xander explains that he had a briefcase full of cash in his room that has gone missing and the only person who could’ve taken it was Bonnie. Justin asks why Bonnie would be in his room. Xander says he could think of one million reasons, but suggests asking her. Justin asks if Bonnie went to Xander’s room. Bonnie admits she did but claims it was to invite him to the wedding because he’s family, so she thought inviting his cousin would be a nice surprise. Xander says the only surprise was her running off with all his cash, but notes that with her history, it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. The justice of a peace decides to give them some time. Kayla remarks on Xander’s new habit of crashing private parties with scandalous claims. Xander points out that in the case of Eric and Nicole, he merely stated facts and that party is relevant because that’s how he earned the million dollars in question and his claim was true then, just as it is now. Xander asks Bonnie if that’s right.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: Hey, you two. That’s a nice surprise.

Mariah: Well, it wouldn’t feel like home if I didn’t come to crimson lights and have my special, so…

Sharon: Well, welcome home, sweetheart. Your favorite’s coming right up. Did you, uh, manage to have a nice time at abby’s?

Mariah: Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure.

Tessa: It was really nice. Abby went all out, of course, because that’s what she always does.

Sharon: Um, hey, mariah, what size drink do you want?

Tessa: Mariah?

Sharon: Uh, I know. Uh, how about I surprise you with my world-famous special double mocha? Mariah? What’s wrong?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Abby: I am happy to report that the man of the hour is napping.

Devon: Oh, that’s good. I can’t blame him. It’s got to be exhausting being the center of attention like that.

Abby: Well, you got to admit, he’s pretty good at it.

Devon: He’s great at it, actually.

[ Both laugh ]

Abby: Now I am going to break in my new baby monitor.

Devon: Nice. Very nice. That party was a lot of fun. I think everybody had a really good time.

Abby: Even mariah?

Devon: What do you mean?

Abby: I feel like she’s going through a hard time — and not just with the kidnapping. And I could be off, but I’m sensing that you’re going through a hard time, too?

Moses: Faith.

Faith: Hi, moses.

Moses: Good news?

Faith: I got a text from mariah’s girlfriend. They’re at crimson lights.

Moses: Oh, so they finally let her out of the hospital?

Faith: I cannot wait to see her. Do you want to come with me?

Moses: Oh, no. I don’t want to get in the way of your family reunion.

Faith: No, you wouldn’t be. I want mariah to get to know you.

Moses: Yeah, but after everything she’s been through, I’m sure she just wants to be around people she’s close with right now.

Faith: Yeah. You’re right. I hadn’t thought about that.

Moses: But I’ll catch up with you afterward.

Faith: What will you do while you wait?

Moses: Maybe I’ll start brainstorming. I did promise you that I’d come up with a cool idea for our first date.

Faith: Then I’ll see you soon.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. What are you going to try to arrest me for this time?

Rey: Glad we’re getting off to a good start.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m happy to have a do-over if, uh — what is this? That’s connor’S.

Rey: Yeah. I’m returning it.

[ Cap thuds ] I ran into him in the park earlier. I hadn’t seen him since we got back from minnesota. Told me how much fun he’d had at lacrosse camp. Anyhow, when he took off with his nanny, I noticed he’d forgotten his cap.

Adam: Uh-huh. I remember when I bought this for connor. He wouldn’t take it off for a week. He slept in it, took a bath in it. It’s his favorite. He would, uh, be crushed if he lost it.

Rey: Well, crisis averted.

Adam: Mm. I’m sure that he’ll want to thank you.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey, and my dad told me about what happened to mariah and how you helped track her down. Sounds like you deserve some major props.

Rey: Devon hamilton’s the real hero. Make a pretty good detective. He had a feeling about stitch, and he never let it go.

Adam: Well, I had no idea that things had gotten so far off course.

Rey: You say that as if you were expecting updates. Why would you think you’re part of the inner circle?

Adam: Because I care?

Rey: About mariah or about sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, would you look at that. That is the longest conversation we’ve had without sharon coming up. Sure was nice while it lasted, rey, but your jealousy is constant.

Devon: No, abby. If it ever seems like I’m going through a hard time, it’s really just ’cause I’m trying to figure out the best way to support you.

Abby: Well, you’re my friend, like always.

Devon: Yeah. I know. But you’re a new mom, and you have a baby for the first time. And that’s — you know, that’s uncharted territory for you.

Abby: I’m still the same person.

Devon: Okay, well, say that to me at 4:00 in the morning when you’ve had no sleep.

Abby: Be serious.

Devon: I am being very serious. I — you know, you’ve —

[ Sighs ] You’ve waited for this moment for a long time, and now your son is here, um, but chance isn’T. And, you know, you’re gonna have to figure out how to be a parent without your partner, at least for the time being.

Abby: Women have had babies with or without partners for centuries.

Devon: But it doesn’t make things any easier for you. And I don’t know how to be. I don’t want to burden you by being over here too much. And at the same time, I don’t want to just leave you hanging, so…

Abby: You could never be a burden. I want you to be over here anytime that you want to be over here. You’re my best friend. And I can talk to you about things that I can’t talk about with mariah or nina or even my mom.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Definitely. And I hope that doesn’t change because of all of this. I mean, I hope you don’t start hiding things from me or being afraid that I’m overwhelmed.

Devon: Open and honest. It’s a deal.

Abby: Yeah.

Sharon: So? What’s the verdict?

Mariah: This tastes… exactly the same, which is incredibly reassuring.

Sharon: Well, that’s good to know. But you still haven’t answered my question about what’s going on with you.

Mariah: Oh, that? I just spaced out earlier. It’s really nothing. Everything’s been such a whirlwind since abby and devon found me in that room.

Sharon: I can tell when something’s on your mind. I mean, if you’re not ready to talk about it, um — you know, I am your mother, so there’s no reason to hold back.

Mariah: I have been struggling to get on top of my emotions, yeah. Um… it’s been difficult, you know? I was just in that room for so long, you know, just bowie and me.

Sharon: Well, do you feel comfortable telling us more about how you spent your time?

Mariah: Yeah, um… I mostly talked to the baby. You know, I made promises. I promised that I was gonna keep him safe, that we were gonna make it out of it alive. There was no way that I was gonna break my word, so…

Tessa: That’s a lot of pressure to put on yourself, especially when you didn’t know what was happening.

Mariah: Well, it was my job. It was…more than a job. He was everything to me. He was my reason for living. And then a last-minute rescue, giving birth under crazy circumstances, being whisked to the hospital — it was all very intense and urgent. And then bowie — dominic — goes home with his mother. And now what?

Sharon: You bonded with that baby. And now you feel like something’s been taken from you. I brought in ensure max protein,

Devon: Some of those things you said about mariah have me a little bit concerned, though. What have you seen?

Abby: I was in the room with her and she woke up from a nightmare and she looked so lost. She was inconsolable, and — I don’t know — I just — I’ve been around her, and I feel like she’s just pretending to be okay when she’s really not.

Devon: I mean, that’s pretty understandable, given what she went through, you know?

Abby: I mean, she’s a strong woman, but what she went through — I mean, that would test anyone.

Devon: You think there’s more to it?

Abby: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I-I can’t put my finger on it, but, I mean, I’m thinking about it, and she was locked in a tiny room. She was trying to protect dominic, and she had no one to talk to. She didn’t even know if anyone was looking for her.

Devon: I’m sure she felt like it was just her and that baby against the whole world.

Abby: Then she gives birth and she has to hand the baby over and — I mean, it’s got to be an overwhelming feeling.

Devon: I think that when stitch took her, he also took her away from all of her friends and her family that she actually wanted to spend time with, you know? I think she really wanted to make plans with you guys and go shopping for the baby and, you know, go to doctor’s appointments together ’cause those last few weeks of being pregnant — that’s an important time.

Abby: That’s true, yeah.

Devon: And even though she’s back and she’s safe, she still has some things to work through. But at least we know that it has nothing to do with you and it has nothing to do with the baby. It’s just about what stitch put her through.

Abby: I hope you’re right.

Devon: I mean, there’s a way to find out. You could just sit her down, have a face-to-face and see if she opens up to you. I actually think that she would really appreciate knowing how concerned you are.

Mariah: There’s a bond. It’s real. And I know I’m not supposed to. He’s not my baby. I — I know that.

Tessa: Love is never a bad thing. And feeling a bond — that’s okay, right?

Sharon: Of course.

Mariah: So, what am i supposed to do with all these feelings?

Sharon: You gave birth to that baby, and you have a connection that’s never gonna go away, that’s lifelong, you know? Only this is different because he’s abby’s son. But he wouldn’t be here without you.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] I have to keep reminding myself that his name is not bowie.

Sharon: No, that — you don’T. You can call the little guy whatever you want because when he grows up, you can use that nickname, and it’ll be a special thing just between the two of you.

Tessa: I mean, it’s the coolest nickname ever. He’ll thank you.

Sharon: Right now, you need to do something, something for yourself. You need to go to abby and be honest with her about how you’re feeling.

Mariah: I — I don’t know if I can.

Sharon: It’s really important. You need to talk to her about this bond that you feel with the baby, this connection. You know what? She’s gonna be very supportive.

Mariah: Mom, I just don’t know.

Sharon: She knows what you did for her. She’s your friend. She wants what’s best for you.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] How is that you always have the best advice?

Faith: Mariah!

Sharon: Faith!

Mariah: Faith!

Faith: Tessa told me you were here. I missed you so much.

Mariah: Oh, I missed you, too.

Adam: Not everything in the world revolves around sharon. Abby is my sister. So that makes that little bundle of joy my nephew.

Rey: Oh. I forgot how close you and abby are, always hanging out.

Adam: And I do care about what happens to mariah.

Rey: Because she’s sharon’s daughter. Come on, man. Mariah wouldn’t even be on your radar if she wasn’t connected to sharon. It’s not like you have this reputation for caring about other people.

Adam: So, you’re saying that I should just hit the off switch on my feelings, that sharon doesn’t deserve any of my concern?

Rey: That’s not what I said.

Adam: But it’s exactly what you meant, rey. Okay, the history that sharon and I have — you can’t erase something like that. Sharon is the most decent, loving person that I know, and i only care about what is best for her and the people that matter to her. So, you can either accept that, or you can fly into a fit of rage every time that you hear my name, and we can go round and around in this circle until the end of time. It’s your call.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: I’m surprised you didn’t want to get in on that over there.

Tessa: Well, I could say the same about you.

Sharon: I was tempted to join them, but I think they deserve this time together.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: And that’s why.

Mariah: You do realize your pledge to torture and destroy stitch would get us both locked away forever?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: But I love how protective you are.

Faith: Where is he?

Mariah: Um… sorry. Uh, he’s gone. Yeah, and hopefully we will never have to be worried about him again.

Faith: Are you okay? Mom and dad didn’t tell me much because they don’t want me to freak out. But they don’t have to keep things from me.

Mariah: Cut them some slack. You had a rough year, alright?

Faith: But I survived. And I’m stronger because of it. I put all of that darkness behind me. And that is why I want to know what happened to you. We’re sisters. I want to help you.

Mariah: Alright. Why don’t we do a girls’ night really soon? And I will — I will tell you everything. I promise. Just not right this minute because it’s still a little fresh.

Faith: Whenever you’re ready. And don’t feel too pressured to move on. It’s not like you can just snap your fingers and make all those memories go away. Just focus on all of the people that care about you right now, and it’ll make it easier.

Mariah: Wow. You’ve changed in the short time that I was away.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] How?

Mariah: You’re more solid, positive, sure of things. Yeah.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Would this have anything at all to do with moses?

Faith: [ Laughs ] It has so much to do with him, it’s crazy.

Devon: Alright. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I wish that, uh — I wish it were better news, too. That’s okay. We’ll do what we can. Alright. Take care.

Abby: Christine?

Devon: Yeah. It’s, uh — it’s not the update we were hoping for.

Abby: What did she say?

Devon: Chance has been forced to go even deeper undercover, and she hasn’t been able to get any messages to him.

Abby: Okay, well, um, that’s — that’s not the news that we wanted to hear, but, you know, things — things change so quickly.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: You know, I am — I am really trying to be patient. But chance deserves to know that his son was born, and that baby sleeping upstairs — he deserves to meet his father.

Devon: I know, abby. You just have to remember that there’s nothing that chance wants more than to come back here to you. Don’t forget that, okay?

Abby: I know. I know that. But it’s just so damn hard.

Devon: I know it is, and you know what? Maybe we just have to think about this in a different way. It might sound crazy, but maybe it’s a good thing that he doesn’t know about dominic being born.

Abby: I can’t believe that you’d say that.

Devon: If he’s had to go that deep undercover to where he can’t even get any messages, I imagine that things have gotten pretty intense for him. And if he were to find out that the baby was born, that might just completely distract him, take his head out of the game. You know? It might even make his situation even more dangerous. We don’t know. I just think that it’s probably best if we don’t make him feel any more guilty than he already feels about not being here for you.

Abby: You always know the right thing to say.

Rey: You got enough to worry about in your own family. You don’t need to insert yourself into anyone else’S.

Adam: What is that supposed to mean?

Rey: It means stop worrying about sharon’s daughter. Worry about your son.

Adam: Why is that? Because he lost his hat?

Rey: When I talked to him at the park, I could tell something was going on with him. You’re here. Chelsea’s out of the state. That can get confusing for a kid.

Adam: Look, my family situation is under control. Thank you very much.

Rey: Yeah? Do you have it under control? Because it didn’t sound that way to me.

Adam: Get out of my office, rey.

Rey: I will. But this needs to be said. Connor’s wondering when the three of you are gonna be a family again. He’s a smart kid. He can sense that things are different. Look, I’m not here to tell you how to handle your business. But I am here to tell you that things need handling. That should be your focus, not what’s going on in sharon’s life.

[ Door slams ] I order my groceries online now.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Faith: What’s going on here? Am I interrupting something?

Devon: That depends. I don’t know. How well do we know this — this young lady here to share with her what we’re talking about?

Moses: Ohh. You know, I’m not too sure, but maybe we should be a little vague with the detail, just in case.

Faith: You guys! What’s going on?

Devon: I was just telling moses here that I called his mom now that he’s decided to take a step back from pursuing a career in medicine.

Moses: Which was the sole reason she let me move to genoa city in the first place — to learn from nate.

Devon: Well, it’s not the only reason that she had you come out here. She also wanted you to be around the rest of your family — lily, me, and nate. But, uh, I told her that even though he’s not trying to be a doctor still, it’s gonna benefit a lot from learning the ropes of hamilton-winters.

Faith: So, does that mean…

Devon: Well, we don’t know if he’s sticking around yet ’cause his mom didn’t commit to anything on the phone. So it’s gonna be up to you, moses, to sell her that you want to stay here, if that is what you really want to do.

Moses: Yeah. That’s what I want.

Sharon: I’m glad you and faith got some time to catch up.

Mariah: Yeah, I wish I could bottle her, carry her around with me. She’s such a light.

Sharon: I know. I’m really proud of both of my girls. Is everything okay with tessa?

Mariah: Uh, yeah. She’s just, uh — she’s canceling her gig tonight. I told her it wasn’t necessary, but she wants to spend as much time with me as she can.

Sharon: And how do you feel about that?

Mariah: I hate it.

[ Laughs ] Don’t get me wrong. I’m grateful that she wants to take care of me, but we’ve worked so hard on her career up to this point, and I would really hate it if she started canceling gigs right now because of me.

Sharon: Well, you might have to be patient with all of us. We probably seem a little clingy right now, but that’s because when you disappeared, we were all really upset and frustrated for weeks, thinking that you were pushing us away. And then we realized that you were in real danger, we were kicking ourselves for not realizing that stitch had been manipulating us all this time.

Mariah: Yeah, I-I really don’t want you to feel guilty. I-I don’t want to have to keep reassuring people that I don’t blame them.

Sharon: Okay. I’ll do my best to stop blaming myself.

Mariah: Now that I talked to faith — uh, you and nick didn’t let her know how bad things had gotten.

Sharon: Uh, maybe it was naive to think I could try to protect her, but that was my instinct.

Mariah: You know, she’s growing up really fast. And she’s stronger than you think, so you should treat her that way.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Adam: Hey.

Sharon: Oh. Hi.

Adam: Mariah, I am so happy that you are safe and you’re back home where you belong.

Mariah: Thank you.

Adam: Did I say something wrong?

Mariah: Yeah, sorry if I’m a little tense around people like you right now, but I was just freed from the clutches of a madman who kidnapped me without a care for the life of an unborn baby because he wanted to win back a certain woman and get her to like him again.

[]

Adam: I am so sorry for everything that you’ve gone through. I was just trying to express some sympathy. I get that I’m not one of your favorite people.

Sharon: I know that he wouldn’t try to do anything to make you uncomfortable.

Mariah: [ Scoffs ]

Adam: I won’t interrupt you anymore.

Mariah: You don’t always have to take his side, you know.

Tessa: Is everything okay?

Sharon: Look, it’s over, okay? I wasn’t taking adam’s side. I was just trying to diffuse the tension. I know he’s trying to make a change, and it makes it harder when no one will let him.

Mariah: Point taken. How’d your phone call go?

Tessa: Uh, they wouldn’t let me out of the gig.

Mariah: Good, because I feel fine. I just need to get home and pump for the baby, like, immediately, so…

Sharon: Will you please let me know if you need anything?

Mariah: Yes. I will. I love you.

Sharon: I love you. What are you doing here? I thought you said that you were gonna keep your distance.

Adam: I’ve known for a while that I need to tell connor about what is going on with me and chelsea. So I came here to get your advice as his former therapist on how to go about that. But clearly that was a mistake. Guess I should have kept on walking.

Devon: I have to take off, but I want you to let me know the second you talk to your mom.

Moses: Yeah, I will.

Devon: Alright, and if she has any questions or concerns about your internship at hamilton-winters, just tell her to give me a call.

Moses: Yeah, I’ll call her today.

Devon: Alright?

Moses: Okay.

Devon: I’m glad you’re sticking around, man.

Moses: Thanks.

Devon: And I know I’m not the only one. See ya. Hey.

Mariah: Hey.

Devon: How you doing? You guys getting some fresh air?

Mariah: Uh, yeah, for a little bit, and then we got to head back to the chancellor house.

Tessa: Yeah, I got to run to the club to do my sound check for the gig tonight.

Mariah: Uh, how was the rest of the party?

Devon: It was — it was alright. It kind of died down after you left.

Tessa: Well, we are traditionally known as the life of the party, so no surprise there.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Hey, I didn’t get a chance to say this to you earlier, um, but if you ever need a shoulder to lean on or anything like that, you know I’m here for you.

Mariah: Thank you. Yeah. But you’ve already done so much for me. And I never thanked you for everything you did to find me and supporting me through labor, no matter how much I screamed. Everything’s fine. Everything’s gonna be fine. I have the best support team in the world, you included. You’ll always be the guy who delivered my baby.

Tessa: Uh, well, I should get you home.

Devon: Is everything alright?

Mariah: Yeah. Uh, yeah. I just — I have to get home to pump for bow– for dominic. And, uh… you’ll always be a hero in my book.

Devon: Oh, come on. I was just in the right place at the right time. And, believe me, I’m damn glad that I was, but that doesn’t make me a hero. I just got lucky this time. But I’ve got stuff I struggle with, just like everybody else.

When you really need to sleep

Faith: Moses, this talk with your mom isn’t just a normal phone call. This is the most important phone call of your entire life.

Moses: Are you trying to make me nervous?

Faith: The opposite. I’m trying to make sure this is an unqualified success.

Moses: Okay. How you gonna do that?

Faith: We’ll rehearse it. I’ll play your mother, and you’ll be you.

Moses: [ Laughs ]

Faith: What’s so funny?

Moses: You — you don’t look a thing like my mom.

Faith: Not the point, okay? I promise this will help. Okay. Pretend to call me. Take out your phone. Dial the numbeR.

Moses: You can’t be serious.

Faith: The closer this is to the real thing, the better it’ll go.

Moses: Okay. Hey, ma.

Faith: Moses, your brother tells me you no longer want to be a doctor. So, what’s the real reason why you want to stay in genoa city?

Moses: She doesn’t talk like that.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Um, yeah. Devon offered me an internship at hamilton-winters.

Faith: Really? Are you sure you don’t want to just waste your time on girls?

Moses: [ Laughs ] Okay. There is this one girl. But she’s definitely not a waste of time.

Faith: Really? Tell me all about this girl who thinks she’s good enough for my son.

Moses: Okay, now you’re just messing with me.

Faith: I’m waiting, moses. If you don’t tell me all about this girl, I will make you take the next flight back to new york.

Moses: Okay. Her name is faith newman, and she’s one in a trillion.

[ Chuckles ] She’s got a great family. Dad even used to work with her grandfather. She’s smart. She’s beautiful. And maybe I’m the one who doesn’t deserve her.

[ Chuckles ] She’s funny. She’s fun. She loves reading and movies. She makes me happy. Honest, thoughtful, fearless.

[ Chuckles ]

Faith: She sounds nice.

Moses: Oh, she is. And she’s one of the reasons why I can’t come home yet.

Faith: Well, what about me, moses?

Moses: Well, you’ll come and visit, ma. But this is an incredible opportunity for me. This place, these people, these families — they’re a part of dad, which means they’re a part of me, too, right? So, you taught me well, and i know you trust me.

Faith: I do.

Moses: I might be gone for a while, but you’ll never lose me. So…say yes, please. How was that?

Faith: You’ve got this. You’ll do great.

Sharon: I’m really glad that mariah and faith got to spend some time together.

Rey: They’re each other’s best medicine.

Sharon: I don’t know what i would do if I didn’t have those two girls in my life. I’ll never stop thanking my handsome husband for bringing mariah back home safe.

Rey: Well, thank you, but i think devon deserves a lot of the credit. I should have paid more attention to your intuition that something was wrong.

Sharon: You were just following the evidence, and there really wasn’t much to go on, other than gut feelings. And it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that mariah is home now, and hopefully she’ll be able to get through this without being scarred for life.

Rey: Yeah, I mean, any mother would be worried about that, but mariah is a warrior. That’s what got her through this ordeal. What she needs the most now is to know that the people around her love her and have her back.

Sharon: She does. For sure.

Rey: Uh, the way you said that… did something else happen today while mariah was here?

Sharon: Well, you’re very perceptive. Adam stopped by, and things got tense.

Rey: Tense how?

Sharon: Well, he’s never been her favorite person, and mariah went from zero to 100 in about one second. She was hostile and aggressive, and then when I tried to keep the peace, she accused me of taking his side. And I wasn’T. It was really all about mariah’s reaction. I hope I haven’t upset you now.

Rey: It’s — it’s fine.

Sharon: I know you think that mariah is a warrior, and she certainly is, but it’s gonna take a lot for her to get through this. And I just hope she gets the help she needs, whatever that is, a therapist.

Rey: Me too. And I am sure you’re gonna steer her in the right direction. Yeah, I actually had my own run-in with adam today.

Sharon: Really?

Rey: Mm-hmm. I saw connor at the park.

Sharon: Well, how’s he doing?

Rey: He seemed to have a great time at camp. He left his baseball cap behind, so I decided to drop it off with adam at newman media.

Sharon: Oh. How’d that go?

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Well, we ended up getting into it about his refusal to stay out of your life. So of course he comes over here and tries to get in the middle of things with you and mariah.

Sharon: Adam told me that he came here to get my advice on how to talk to connor about chelsea.

Rey: I am not surprised. I gave him my two cents about what I thought connor was going through, and he comes right over here to try to rope you into it.

Sharon: You know, I believe adam when he says that he wants to become a better person. I just don’t know if he has the skill set yet.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Hi. You ready for a little nap? Okay. Mommy will be right back. I love you.

Mariah: Abby? Abby?

[ Gasps ] Hi, little man. Hi, handsome. Oh, yes. Very handsome.

[ Chuckles ] Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you so much. Yeah. Shh.

[ Humming tessa’s lullaby ]

[ Humming continues ]

[ Humming continues ]

Devon: Welcome to the world, little man.

[ All chuckle ] (Upbeat pop music in background throughout)

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey, curtis! Hey. I was glad to get your text. Yeah. Um, I’m sorry. Why? Well, because I asked you to come down here, and I’m all… caught up with this. Oh, curtis, it’s not a big deal.

[ Chuckles ] Is there a problem with the club? No. No, no. Everything’s good with the club. I’m working on a case. Oh. I thought you left all that P.I. Stuff behind you. I did. But this one’s personal. Did I ever tell you about my good friend drew cain? Yeah. He was oscar’s dad, right? Sam’s ex? Yeah. Well, uh, he disappeared in a plane crash a few years ago. Sam has reason to believe that he might still be alive. Oh, my god. Really? Yeah. So…

[ Footsteps approach ] …Entertaining that theory could set us up for either really good news… or something very disappointing.

[ Sighs ] Good morning, bride-to-be! Hey! Good morning. Did you sleep? I slept a little, yeah. Yeah, I was up a lot, too. I’m so excited. Uh, trina wanted to say hi before things got too crazy. Happy wedding day! Thank you. I know you and jason will be really happy together. That is the plan. Hey. Sorry about this, man. I know you’re not the one that wanted the fight, but you’re the one I got to hold. Previous charges were just dropped two months ago against you, so the D.A. Wants to, uh, go over the entire incident report. It’s bureaucratic B.S. Yeah, well. Don’t worry about it. I-I don’t want special treatment. I’m not giving you special treatment. So here we are again, huh? Opposite sides with so much that connects us. You know, it’s too bad you don’t just ditch the career-criminal thing, man. We could break bread one of these days. Trina: Did your dad tell you he called me? He did? Random, right? Asking all sorts of questions about the sauce. Must’ve been a big hit. Yeah… oh, no! Did it go bad or something? No. The sauce was delicious. Okay. Phew! But — and I know that this is gonna sound totally insane… but, trina, I swear that sauce… tasted exactly like sonny’S. Sonny: I’m mike. That’s who I am. I’m the guy who cares about you. I get that you don’t want my past life crashing down on you. You don’t want to be hurt again. That’s why you came to nixon falls, to let go of your past. So you understand? Well… and I’m gonna do everything I can to prove to you that I do. I don’t know how I’m gonna do it… but I will because I’m — I’m in love with you. Oh, my god. What happened?! Lenny left us a surprise.

[ Exhales sharply ] None of these names are ringing any bells. Shawn, I’m sorry, but I think we need to brace for the possibility that this manifest of naomi dreyfus’ flight is another dead end. No, no, no. I-I can’t accept that. No, there’s got to be something in here to lead us to hayden’s shooter. Because whoever it was wanted her dead so badly that when I started asking questions six years later, they offed her mother. To go through that much trouble, this person has something major to hide, and I want to find out what it is. Spencer: Dad. Look up.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Esme wanted us to have a fun day. I am having fun. Really? ‘Cause it looks like you’d rather be literally anywhere else. I’m sorry. The six weeks are up, and as soon as ava gets scott back to work, our divorce will be finalized, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not in a festive mood. But I would understand if you were. Yes, I’m aware that the paperwork is ready. But like I’ve told you, I’m — I’m just not ready to go through with it yet. Does it sound like I care what you think?

[ Footsteps approach ]

[ Gasps ]

-Hey, sam. -Hey. You said you had an update on the lead from last night? Yeah, so, I talked to the nurse who took care of nina at crichton-clark. She gave me the contact information of a guy she worked with in the records department. Apparently, he dealt with both patients and the parent company. That’s amazing. There’s just one catch. Dante: Yeah, there is no charge. Well, I would, but the system’s down, and I can’t have access, and I need authorization, so can you put it through? Look. There’s no silver bullet here, okay? He’s not going to prison. It was a drunk and disorderly, and he wasn’t even drunk, so make it happen.

[ Beep ] Hope this doesn’t, uh, mess up your wedding day. It is what it is. You know? As for me, I just got to put a suit on, so… is, uh, carly gonna make you wear a tie? That, I don’t know. Hm. I guess I’ll find out when I open the garment bag. Well, this must be strange for you, me marrying carly after all the years she’s been married to sonny. Yeah, not really, though, you know. I-I — I think sonny would approve. I mean, it’s always been the three of you, right? Even since I first was working undercover, you guys were a unit, you and sonny and carly, even when they weren’t together. It was… I remember being amazed at how devoted you guys were to him. That’s because of everything he did for us. He was just a great friend, a great mentor, and just a stand-up guy. Yeah, I didn’t, uh, see it that way. When I first got here, all I could think about was sending him to prison, so I put that case together against him. But, uh — [ Chuckles ] You know, even then, man, there were days where I didn’t want to do it. You know? When he shot me, I found out he was my father. But you didn’t think of him that way yet. No. But you know what? All these years later, I sure am glad that I didn’t put him away. Jason: I’m still gonna be your safety net. And I’m counting on you to be mine. You don’t need a safety net. But I need you to stand by me. No matter what. I’ll always stand by you no matter what. Okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Uh, then we’ll just, you know, figure the rest out.

[ Doorbell rings ] Monica. Carly. I know you have a very busy day. I just wondered if you had a little time to talk. Lenny was always complaining about the ceiling. Yeah, he mentioned that there was a bad leak a couple of years ago. Plywood’s all rotten, and the beams have to come down. Yeah, and then he — he, uh… decided to redo it. So he was — he was gonna, you know, take down the wallpaper and then paint the whole place. Yeah, that seems pretty ambitious. Yeah. But, um… he ordered the supplies before his diagnosis, so the lumberyard just came this morning and the next order’s coming later. Yikes. Can you return it? No, a lot of the stuff’s custom, but you know what, I… lenny wanted it, so I felt like I owed it to him to give it to him. Yeah. But in the meantime, there’s not a lot of room for customers. I don’t think it’s a problem for phyllis. Yeah, she’s not in a rush to open the tan-o without lenny, huh? Just another argument for the renovations. You know, if the tan-o opens with a different look, there won’t be so many memories attached. Well, now you know what I’m planning to do for the next two or three months. You — if, you know, you could, I mean, if you want to pitch in. Me? Well, you know, you run a magazine. You have great taste. You can be the designer consultant. Oh. That is if I didn’t scare you off. So what’s up with you? What do you mean? Something’s obviously wrong. No, I-it’s nothing. Trina. I guess I’m feeling guilty. About what? Not liking spencer’s girlfriend. Don’T. You scared me half to death.

[ Laughs ] I’m so sorry. I’ve been told I have a knack for sneaking up on people. I swear it’s not intentional. I’m esme prince. Esme.

[ Chuckles ] You’re spencer’s friend. Spence is my boyfriend. He’s told me so much about you. I’m sure. It’s nice to meet you face-to-face. Pleasure’s all mine. Is there something I can do for you? Yes. Uh, I came by to look at your works, and I was thinking about purchasing a piece. Oh? My parents strongly advised me to invest in artwork as I got older. Oh. I-I take it you were born into money, then? Yes and no. I mean, my parents couldn’t have children of their own, so my siblings and i were adopted. Adopted and rich. Lucky you.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I am quite fortunate. It sounds like you had a very happy home. No? I suppose everyone was happy enough. My parents were very cool with each other. There was love there, but nothing like, um, you and spencer’s father.

esme’s been nothing but nice to me. I don’t know. Maybe I don’t like her because I was into spencer. You don’t like her because there’s nothing to like. Tell me how you really feel. She’s a bitch with a capital “b,” okay? Joss! No. I mean, you see the way she treats spencer, like he’s her property or something. She is clearly threatened by you. You really think so? Yes, trina. My god, it’s so obvious. So don’t trick yourself into looking for something that isn’t there. Sweet, innocent esme doesn’t exist. Spence told me all about you and his dad, and you have to admit, it’s romantic. Nikolas doesn’t want to let you go. It would have to be something uber extreme to get him to stay away. Yes, I thought of that. Just wasn’t sure how far I wanted to take it. Anyway, unfortunately, all my pieces are spoken for. Too bad. Well, let me know if anything changes. I certainly will. Safe travels, ava. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ] Hey, it’s me. That thing we talked about — I’m convinced. Do it. Nikolas: Before I disappeared, I don’t think you were aware of how far I had fallen. I crossed some serious lines, spencer. Done some unforgivable things. Like what? I don’t want to get into details, but to put it bluntly, I was a bad person. And it was ava who motivated me to change my ways, so you think what you want of her, but ava is the reason that I am more the man and the father that you remember than the man I had become during those dark times.

[ Knock on door ] Mom? Tj, what a surprise. Hi. Even if I’m about to cancel our dinner? Oh, never mind. Get out. I know, I’m sorry, but molly and I have this — hey, son. What’s going on, man? Hey. W-what’s going on? I, uh, I’m just helping jordan with an investigation. A little out of your wheelhouse, no? Well, it could lead to finding out who really shot hayden barnes. I thought you decided to move on with your life. Oh, I did. Oh, but some things need closure, and… this is one of those things. I get that. Look, my guilt became this person’s shield, prevented a real investigation, kept me from getting to be a father. Yeah, but you taught me how to drive, shawn, how to shave, how to put on a tie, how to ask out my first girlfriend. I-I’m not saying you shouldn’t pursue this — I think you should — but don’t forget, you were already a father in all the right ways, even before we knew it. That’s a hell of a thing for a cop to say, huh? “I believe in law, but I didn’t apply it in that instance.” I mean, I-I think it was your call. And who — who were you hurting? You’re the one who got shot. I mean, if you didn’t want to turn sonny in or you wanted to cover for him and didn’t want to see him prosecuted in that moment because he was your friend, that’s your decision. Yeah, like I said, I don’t regret protecting him. That’s good because all of our lives would have taken a completely different path if you hadn’T. Yeah, you know, the truth is I don’t think I’ve had a chance to wrap my mind around the fact that he’s gone. I’ve been thinking that with all this talk of you and jason getting married, I have never given you my blessing. Not that you need or want it. You don’t have to pretendto like me, monica. I get it. You’re A.J.’S mom. I don’t expect you to see all the issues we had from my side. See, that’s just the thing. With the truth coming out about austin in all of this, it’s — it’s occurred to me that we quartermaines can be very cruel to each other. Cause a lot of pain — the cheating, the backstabbing, blackmailing. But we manage to — to get past it because we’re family. And now, whether I like it or not, it’s what you’re about to become. I know I put you on the spot when I told you that I loved you. And there you go again. I’m sorry. I just can’t — I can’t help it. I didn’t sleep very much last night. I’ve been wrestling with all of this. I don’t — I don’t — I didn’t mean to make you wrestle with anything. No, I know. I know you didn’T. I just had to tell you how I felt. And I-I don’t want you to feel any pressure… to feel the same way. Mike… how could I not feel the same way?

Well, we are running low on coffee. I’ll get us some refills. Hey, tj, want one? No, I’m good. Thank you. What?

[ Chuckles ] Come on, mom. Since when do you let civilians assist you in police investigations? We enlist outside investigators all the time. Which shawn is not. What’s your point, tj? You are bending a lot of rules, and I know that’s in large part for me. So thank you. Well, I love you a little bit, so… we’ve been talking a lot about shawn’s role in my life, and I know why. I just… I don’t want you to forget how important you are to me, what a — what a spectacular mom you are. My hero. I’m your hero? Tj, do you have any idea how proud I am of you? My son, the doctor, the smartest, most compassionate, loyal, and loving person I know. There’s very little credit to be had here. You are who you are because you are an extraordinary person, and to whatever extent I was able to guide you, to love and support you, well… is the best thing I’ve ever done. You are the best thing I have ever done. I love you so much. I love you. Sam: What’s the problem? Is this guy really far away or something? No, it’s, um, somewhere near the finger lakes. Well, that’s lucky. Yeah, but what we’re asking for is access to corporate and patient files. You know, this guy was hesitant about releasing them unless we agreed to meet in person. Great. Finger lakes, here we come. Well, a-are these medical files you’re talking about? Um, some of them, yeah. Well, then, you’re gonna need to fill out a hipaa form, unless you actually have a doctor with you. How convenient. We have a really great doctor right here. You know, I’d barely been home… when sonny disappeared. And I was so messed up before I went away. Not that there was anything wrong between me and sonny, but, you know, all the good stuff, it dwindled, you know? We didn’t get a chance to rebuild it over a yankees game, have a meal, hang with rocco together. Yeah, all the things that made you see how much you and sonny have in common. Yeah, let’s face it, I never knew him the way most kids know their dad. But over time, you know, I grew to admire him and look up to him. He was more like A… like a father/friend, you know? Yeah, I mean, we used to, you know, we used to call each other brothers, but it was just as much a father-son thing. For sure. I mean, sonny was, you know, aside from carly, the first person who treated me with respect. After your accident? Yeah, I mean, he taught me, uh… he taught me so much. Not a lot of people approve of it, but I was always, uh, I was always grateful and it was always my choice. You know, it’s not like he forced a gun in my hands, and he made sure I knew what it meant to pick one up. Yeah, I guess my line of work isn’t what he would have chosen for me.

[ Chuckles ] Did sonny wish you weren’t a cop? Yeah, I mean, you’re — you’re his son. You know, he didn’t want to be in opposition to you. He didn’t want have to lie to you, ask you to look the other way. It’s not A… comfortable place to be. No, it’s not. Sonny admired you — your courage, your honor, your commitment to your job, and most of all, he respected you. And that meant a lot. Well, that’s how I know he’d be okay with you marrying carly… because he respected you more than anyone.

[ Cellphone chimes ] And there we are. Finally, you are free to go. Good luck today, man. Thanks.

[ Door closes ] Well, I hesitate to remind you, this is not the first time I’m marrying into the quartermaines.

[ Laughing ] No. Oh, we remember, alright, believe me. You guys weren’t exactly welcoming.

[ Chuckles ] I think I was girding myself for the pain I knew that your marriage to A.J. Would cause. And not just because of A.J.’S troubles. Or the fact that you two were so very good at exploiting each other’s weaknesses. We were experts at that. But it was crystal clear back then to everyone, including A.J., And maybe — maybe especially A.J., That your heart belonged to jason, and jason, for all he loved robin and cared a lot for her, it was pretty clear that the bond between you two was unbreakable. Last thing I expected when I walked through those doors… was to find you. But there you were standing there. I saw you as a sign, mike, a sign that I… that we don’t have to be stuck in the circumstances of our lives. You taught me that if you just let go of the baggage of your past, you can find out who you really are inside. You taught me that. I taught you that? You did.

[ Chuckles ] Well… you know, this place has really become my home, and you are such an enormous part… of that. Three are a million,

million reasons why we should not be together, and with all those reasons and the fear that… what we have together could collapse when you find out who you really are… with all of that, I still can’t stay away from you. There’s a lot of risk and vulnerability when you open up your heart to someone, and I’m willing to do that… with you. And if that isn’t love… I don’t know what is. What do you say? I’m saying that I love you, too, mike.

Esme said something the other day that I can’t get out of my head. What was it? She called kiki “lauren.” No one ever called kiki that — not the staff at gh, not her mom, no one, so how would esme even know that was her name? Maybe from the article about ava’s car being lit on fire? The article referred to her as kiki. Some other legal document, then? I mean, I don’t know. Well, it doesn’t seem to be bothering spencer. He’s busy posting selfies at the metro court pool. Of course he is. So then enough about esme. Please, and thank you. You need to get ready for your mom’s wedding. See you there? I can’t wait. Spencer: Dad, do you think that absolution is possible without atonement? No. I guess not. I think that we should probably talk about something. Sorry I’m late. Looking fabulous, mr. Cassadine. Thank you, esme. Anyone need anything from the bar? I’m good. You? All set. I know that look. You’re second-guessing breaking up ava and your father, aren’t you? I know you. I’ve seen your face in the invader. Nikolas cassadine, right? Yeah, that’s me. Can you hold this for a second? Sure. Thanks. You’ve just been served. I have to run to get to the hospital, but… rain check on dinner. Absolutely. Okay. I wasn’t sure how you took your coffee these days, so I brought a little bit of everything. Sorry, dad, I have to run, but good luck. Thanks, tj. Well, we did one thing right. That’s for sure. You’re telling me.

[ Telephone rings ] Oh. Commissioner ashford. No, no, no, no, that– that’s great intel. Okay. Thank you. Good news? The passenger next to hayden’s mother wasn’t a stranger. They booked their seats together. So they’re close enough to travel together, but he’s nowhere to be found after naomi dies. Guess who’s got his address. Feel like a road trip? Portia coming with us might be our best shot. This client might be more inclined to trust us if we have a doctor with us, if that’s okay with you. Well, I certainly don’t want either of you to break any laws. So if it’ll help, yeah, I’m in. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay, let’s go. Uh, hold on, wait. I’m thinking you should probably stay behind. Why? Look, sam, I know this is very important to you, but just think about it. Imagine if a bunch of people show up at this guy’s door, okay? It could scare him away. But now, if it’s just portia and me, okay, and I can hide under the radar as the doctor’s boyfriend, then they’ll never know I’m a pi. Okay, that makes sense. I’ll keep you posted, okay? Okay, thank you, and good luck. Yeah. So…do you want to drive or should I? I’ll drive. Of course. This really happening right now? Yeah, it’s really happening. You without a past and… me trying desperately to forget mine. We shouldn’t fit, but somehow, we do.

[ Laughs ] You know, I was broken, and you put me back together. Is this a huge gamble? Yes. We don’t know how long this is gonna last. Mike, I want — i need to see this through. Can you say that again? I need to see this — no, I know what you want to hear again. You know what part I want to hear. I love you, mike. Love, love, love you. I don’t know what to do with that, but I love you. I got a few ideas. Yeah? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Carly: You’re right. My heart belonged to jason fully and completely, and I screwed it up big time. And I could have lost him forever, but instead, we landed in this beautiful place. And he’s the best friend I’ve ever had. And I’m sure he would say the same about you. I really appreciate you coming to see me.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’m — I’m really glad because it could have gone totally the other way.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Look, we’re never gonna be best friends. No, probably not. But… for jason and for michael’s sake, I’d like to try to be civil in-laws. I would really like that. Good. Well, good, then I will see you at the wedding. Yes. Yes, of course. You know, it’s interesting. After all you went through to secure jason’s love back then, you finally get it now.

[ Chuckles ]

Shawn, I’m sorry, but I am going on this solo. Did we not agree to work together on this? Yes, to the extent that we could, but you aren’t a cop. You also aren’t a pi. You have no legal standing, on top of the fact that you and sam were the last people to see naomi dreyfus alive. And you both discovered her body. If I include you to go interview a person of interest… yeah. I mean, it starts to feel like a cover-up. At the very least, or it could taint the investigation or could even be grounds to have potential evidence or testimony thrown out. Which I definitely do not want. If this leads to anything, you will be the first to know — promise. So you’re going alone, huh? I believe I already said that. Now? No time like the present. Okay, just be careful. Shawn, I got this. It’s not my first investigation. I’m a professional. Okay, miss professional. Just be careful anyway. I will. My dad was on some guilt trip that went way over my head, but I realized that he and i will never be able to have a true, honest relationship with this secret between us. And if he stays with ava, will you be able to have a relationship with him then? You have to pick your poison, spence. There’s no way you can live with your father if he’s still with ava. If I had to guess, you could probably get used to keeping this secret from him. And if you’re having a tough time, you’ve got me. I’m always looking out for you. Proved that earlier when I went to go see ava. What about ava? What the hell are you talking about? Wait. This is a restraining order. My wife got the court to say I have to stay 100 feet away from her, and I’m just hearing about this now? She must have filed the paperwork days ago. State of new york allows the filer to choose the method of delivery and notification. Have a nice day. You’ve got to be kidding me. Hey. Hey. I thought I’d find you here. Any leads? Pardon? Curtis is following up on one right now, but I can’t go with him because he doesn’t want me to scare the guy off. Well, you are pretty scary. I thought that maybe you and I could figure out another path to go down. I really think there’s a connection between drew’s flight and lethe unlimited. You want to wait and see what curtis comes back with? Wait. Um…yeah. No, I can’t just stand here and do nothing. Like in general or today? I just heard from olivia. She’s running a little late because of leo. Mom?

Bothering ava when she’s trying to pack up her life? I wasn’t trying to bother her. I was just wishing her well before she left. Little protective, aren’t we? Spencer: Trina and ava got close when they worked together. She’s trina’s mentor. And I’m sure you were like a daughter to her after kiki passed away. You mean lauren? I’m sorry? That’s what you called kiki the other day. Oh, right. Her, uh, given name. And the name on her hospital id badge. You know, the one they found near ava’s car after it was burned to a crisp. Nikolas, you cannot be here. Because of this? A restraining order? Why, ava? Because you’re worried I won’t stay away or because you know you can’t?

[ Doorknob rattles ] Curtis: Jordan? Curtis? What are you doing here? I’m working a case. So are we. What’s special about today? Really? What? Oh, you mean carly and jason’s wedding? Yeah. Yeah, that. Okay, would I like to escape the buzz? Yes. Would I like to be focused on something else? Also, yes. You know what? I think I got a solution for that. Hey. Don’t worry, I’m just here to pick up my suit. I’m not gonna mess with tradition and try to see your mom. Yeah, that’s not gonna be a problem. Mom’s gone.

[ Laughs ] What? So… yeah. What now? Well, I’m thinking this occasion calls for us going to philadelphia.

[ Laughs ] No, no, look, listen. What? Why? Because we’re gonna find a restaurant, we’re gonna listen to music afterwards, and we’re just gonna do it up. “Do it up.” Okay. Yeah. I love that idea. Okay, so great. So I got to — I got to get some stuff organized, sorted out, and then I’ll be at your place in a couple of hours. Okay. Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Alright. I’ll see you later. Later.

[ Door closes ] Jax.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: There. You know, I’m thinking we should–I’m gonna get you to the er. You were in that freezer for a good half hour, and you’re still shivering.

Julie: I’m not going anywhere until we find doug.

Jack: We will find him. I promise you.

Julie: Well, how? How? He’s not answering my voicemails. He’s not answering my texts. Oh, my god. I think I know what’s happened!

Kayla: I don’t understand why bonnie is there with calista getting ready. She was supposed to be here.

Steve: Well, she said something about getting hung up at the manicurist, and it would be faster for her to get ready here. That’s why I’m calling. Bonnie needs her makeup bag.

Kayla: I guess we’re on our way then.

[Cell phone beeps]

Justin: What was that about? What’s going on with bonnie?

Kayla: I have no idea.

Gwen: Bonnie lockhart? What was she doing here?

Xander: She and justin are getting married today. She invited me to the wedding.

Gwen: Why?

Xander: Well, she said she wanted me to represent the kiriakis family, because victor and all the others refused to attend.

Gwen: It’s a bit odd, don’t you think?

Xander: Yeah, I thought so too. It actually reminded me that she did volunteer at the last second to be sarah’s maid of honor.

Gwen: But still, do you think that that was all just a pretense so she could just come in here and steal the $1 million from your briefcase?

Xander: Well, yeah, I would, except for the fact that I saw her leave without it.

Bonnie: Give me the gun, girl.

Calista: Fine.

[Sighs]

Bonnie: All right. You did the first part. Now hand it over.

Calista: I’m sorry, bonnie, but you’re not getting the gun. You are getting the bullet.

Bonnie: Hold on. What are you talking about? I gave you the $1 million you think I stole from your husband.

Calista: Oh, you did steal from harrison. You stole his buddy bucks, and then you stole his life. And now you’re gonna pay with yours!

Bonnie: No. You can’t do this. I’m marrying the man of my dreams. No. It’s my wedding day.

Calista: Well, then I got your “something new” right here. A bullet through the heart.

Bonnie: No. Please. Please, calista!

Calista: Forget about becoming bonnie kiriakis. Today, you die.

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Gwen: Right, so you’re saying that bonnie didn’t take the money.

Xander: But she must’ve. She was the only person that was here before ej showed up.

Gwen: Maybe the cash has been gone longer than you think.

Xander: That’s impossible. I’ve looked inside that briefcase at least once an hour since I got it back from the cops.

Gwen: Once an hour?

Xander: $1 million is a very lovely thing to look at, especially when you’re about to part ways with it.

Gwen: Right, so the money was here before bonnie came, but she didn’t leave with the money, so what happened, xander?

Bonnie: Hi. Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What are you doing here?

Bonnie: Oh, I came to invite you to our wedding.

Xander: What?

Bonnie: Just on my way over to kayla’s and thought I’d pop by here first.

Xander: Did you run this by justin?

Bonnie: Oh, I know he’d want you to be there. You’re his cousin. So why don’t you just hop in the shower, put on your monkey suit, and be at the house at 2:00 P.M.?

Xander: Bonnie–

Bonnie: Nope. I’m not taking “no” for an answer.

Xander: Honestly, I feel kind of awkward.

Bonnie: Oh, honey, you? You’ll be the life of the party, and I always say, the more the merrier, right?

Xander: Fine. I’ll be there.

Bonnie: Yay! Yippee! Okay, I’ll see you–oh, I’ll see you soon.

Xander: She was trying to get rid of me.

Gwen: Well, did you hop in the shower or anything when she was here?

Xander: No, but that isn’t where I left it.

Gwen: What? Are you sure?

Xander: Bonnie must have swiped it on her way out of the room, and then when I went into the bathroom, she let herself back in, opened the briefcase, and ran off with my money.

Gwen: Oh, my god. That cheeky bitch.

Xander: Well, she’s not gonna get away with it. Bonnie lockhart will rue the day she crossed me.

Bonnie: No. No. You can’T. You can’t shoot me! You don’t know the whole story.

Calista: Hey, it was your finger on the trigger that killed my husband. That’s all I need to know.

Bonnie: But I’m not a cold-blooded killer, and your husband wasn’t the–

Calista: Hey! Nothing more about harrison.

Bonnie: But he tried–

Calista: Every syllable out of your little mouth makes my finger twitch, so if I were you, I would shut it.

Bonnie: No! I did everything. I did everything you asked. You wanted $1 million. I got you $1 million right there, and on my wedding day. I stole a million clams from a guy who’s practically family when I should have been sipping mimosas and getting ready for my groom. Please, please, please, calista. I gave you your money. You got your money. What more do you want?

Calista: A little thing called “an eye for an eye.” Now, can we get this little show started?

Bonnie: No, no, no, no. What about turning the other cheek?

Calista: Well, I’m more of an old testament kind of girl. Let’s go.

Bonnie: No, wait! Seriously, wait. Wait, wait, wait. You haven’t thought this through.

Calista: Oh, honey, I’m already sipping an umbrella drink on my private island.

Bonnie: No, no. What about when xander comes after you, huh? He’s not just a pretty face, you know; he’ll figure it out.

Calista: No, he won’T. He’s gonna pin you for stealing the money.

Bonnie: And I’ll tell him the truth.

Calista: Well, yeah, I guess you could, except for the “you’ll be dead” part.

Bonnie: Okay, okay. What about ej dimera? Do you know about the dimeras? Honey, they’re mob, so if I were you, I’d just take my money and run. Time’s a-wasting.

Calista: Oh, don’t worry, honey, I’m halfway out the door. This won’t take but a minute.

Julie: And that would explain everything.

Jack: What, exactly?

Julie: Julie’s place is always closed between lunch, dinner. Doug and I are here alone, so obviously, he locked me in the freezer to protect me.

Jack: Come again?

Julie: Morgan’s on the waterfront. It was robbed last week. Robbed in broad daylight.

Jack: Yes, yes, but–

Julie: So what if those same guys struck again? And what if they came in here, doug saw them, went to the back, and locked me in to protect me, to hide me, so they couldn’t get at me? And then they kidnapped him.

Jack: Well, why would anyone kidnap doug?

Julie: Oh, for god’s sakes, jack. He’s one of the most prominent men in salem. He’s the ex-mayor. He’s a man of means. For ransom. God, he could be bound and gagged in the trunk of a car somewhere. Oh, god. My poor doug.

Roman: All right. There you go. Double burger with swiss. Extra rare. Side of fries. Just the way you like.

Doug: Thank you, good sir. And it smells delicious. Mmm. Your mission:

Xander: Bonnie wants me at her wedding, I’ll wring the bride’s neck.

Gwen: Okay, xander. Will you just slow down? Slow down, right, and think this through. Why would bonnie want to steal $1 million when she’s just about to marry a multimillionaire?

Xander: Well, you know what they say. You can never be too rich.

Gwen: Right, but how did she even know you had all that cash in that briefcase?

Xander: I don’t know. I’m gonna show up at her wedding and find out.

Gwen: Xander, wait.

Xander: What?

Gwen: This is my fault.

Xander: This is not the time to make it all about you, gwen.

Gwen: I know, but it is though. You confessed to a crime that I committed, and now you’re all tangled up with this bloody ej person. You owe him $1 million, which is now gone, along with the promise of a job. You did all this because you were trying to protect me.

Xander: It was my choice, gwen, remember. But there is one thing you can do for me in return.

Gwen: Yes, of course. What?

Xander: Don’t tell your father that you had your miscarriage before abigail pushed you down those stairs. If you do that, everything I’ve done will be for naught.

Steve: Right this way, mr. Riggins.

Riggins: Am I in the right place?

Steve: Yeah. Bride’s upstairs, the groom is out, and there’s a guest list of one outside the bridal party.

Riggins: Remarriages tend to be quieter affairs.

Steve: This is no remarriage. This is justin and bonnie’s first trip to the altar.

Riggins: Then what’s that, halloween?

Steve: That’s not bonnie. That’s my late sister adrienne. She and justin raised four sons together. After she passed–

Riggins: Mr. Kiriakis fell in love with her twin?

Steve: In a manner of speaking.

Riggins: And you’re the one person who made the guest list.

Steve: No. I’m the best man. Guess you’re wondering what you got yourself into, huh?

Riggins: Life can be complicated.

Steve: It sure can. So here’s hoping that all the drama is behind us now that their wedding day is finally here.

Bonnie: Wait.

Calista: Now what?

Bonnie: You can’t kill me.

Calista: You already said that.

Bonnie: No, no, no. Do you know who justin’s uncle really is? He is like the greek version of michael corleone, except he’s even nastier, meaner, scarier, more ruthless than ej dimera. You lay one hand on me, and he will–

Calista: Thank me? Come on, the old goat won’t even come to your wedding. I’m gonna bet that guy do not care a rat’s behind about you.

Bonnie: No, wait. Wait. Okay. Forget about the mob. What about the law? Steve is right downstairs, and honey, he hears that gunshot and he comes running up those stairs, and he catches you red-handed. You lose the money, you go to statesville, and you don’t even have me around to give you tips on how to get ciggies from the guards in cell block H.

Calista: Oh, I’m not going to statesville.

Bonnie: Okay.

Calista: I know how to get away with murder. I watched you, didn’t I? So I’m gonna use this little old-fashioned silencer. Easy-peasy. Now no one will know what happened, and no one will care.

Julie: Jack, we gotta call the police.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Julie, as concerned as I am, I’m thinking maybe you’re getting a little carried away.

Julie: How can you say that when doug could be in danger?

Jack: Well, there could be another explanation.

Julie: Such as what?

Jack: Such as is it possible–possible–that maybe you and doug had a fight?

Julie: Of course not. Although, well, he did get a little miffed when I changed out his espresso for chamomile tea this morning. His digestion’s a little more fragile. All right. All right. We had a small contretemps. Yes, he can show his temper when his blood sugar gets a little low.

Jack: Okay, so maybe he decided that the two of you needed to cool off a bit.

Julie: “Cool off.” Is that your fabled sense of humor rising to the occasion? I am not amused, jack.

Jack: All right, all right, all right. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Just to, you know– my apology on choice of words. Is it possible that maybe doug just needed to take a moment?

Julie: I don’t know. I guess it’s possible. Where would he go? He’s 96 years old. He can’t get very far on foot. Oh, lord, what am I doing standing here babbling? I’m going to go find him!

Roman: So where is your better half?

Doug: Pardon?

Roman: Well, I’ve never seen you or julie in here alone. Either one of you. She busy at the restaurant?

Doug: Actually, julie is busy–very busy– watching my cholesterol. Last night, she even tried to give me some quinoa. I hated it. Ugh. I prefer good, red meat and fries to go with it.

Roman: [Chuckles]

Doug: I’m sure you won’t tell her about this.

Roman: Oh, god, no. I got your back, all right? And I tell you what, I won’t tell her about this either.

Doug: [Laughs] Ooh. Well, that’s awfully nice of you, john. Thanks.

Roman: Yeah, you’re welcome, but name’s roman.

Doug: Of course it is.

Roman: Well, you called me john.

Doug: I did?

Roman: Yeah. You know what? It’s not the first time it happened. I mean, after all, john went by my name for, what, better part of a decade?

Doug: Yeah, those were wild days, weren’t they? When everybody thought you were dead and that john got back together with vivian.

Roman: You mean marlena?

Doug: Who else? What did I say?

Roman: Vivian.

Doug: [Chuckles] How in the world could I ever mix up marlena with vivian?

[Laughs] I must be losing it, john.

Gwen: Look, I already told my father that you were lying to protect me. That I was the one running drugs for snyder. He was blackmailing me. I can’t exactly go back on that, can I? And jack, he’s gonna be looking for answers.

Xander: And you’ll be ready with a lie. You’re a highly-skilled liar, gwen. One of the best, really. What? It’s a compliment!

Gwen: Thanks. Back at you.

Xander: So we’re good? You’ll do it?

Gwen: Lie to my father?

Xander: Think about it, gwen. If you told jack that you falsely blamed his precious abigail for your miscarriage, which caused her to flee town and quite possibly destroyed her marriage, there’s a chance his capacity for forgiveness might wear a tad thin.

Gwen: I’m his daughter too.

Xander: And I’m his best mate. You saw the hatchet job he did on me in the “spectator.”

Gwen: Yeah, that’s because he blames you for hurting me. He’s very protective over his daughters.

Xander: And if he blames you for hurting his other daughter, how do you think that will turn out? You’ve spent your whole life wanting a relationship with your father, and you finally got it. Do you really want to throw all that away for the sake of my reputation, which has always hovered between less-than-stellar and abysmal and will remain there regardless of what you do?

Gwen: You don’t deserve this.

Xander: I’ll be fine. Trust me. What?

Gwen: Nobody’s ever done this for me before. Sacrificed so much.

Xander: What can I say? You’re worth it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Jack: I got nothing. You have any luck?

Julie: I ran into linda, the line cook. She saw doug walking out the front door. She waved. She smiled. He just kept right on walking–

[Cell phone rings] Roman, I can’t talk now. Doug is missing.

Roman: No, he’s not. He’s right here, at the pub.

Julie: He is? Doug is at the brady pub.

Jack: Oh.

[Both laugh]

Julie: Oh, oh. Thank god.

Jack: Yeah.

Julie: Well, tell him I’ve been worried sick, and he is to come back to the restaurant immediately. Roman? Aren’t you gonna tell him that?

Roman: Julie, you know what? I think it would be a better idea if you came here.

Riggins: Calista lockhart and harrison lord? Why do those names sound so familiar?

Steve: It’ll come to you.

Riggins: Well, a wedding at the kiriakis manse. Not to be gauche, but I didn’t eat lunch assuming the kiriakises would be putting on a spread, and this celebration seems a bit…anemic. I’d hate for my stomach to be growling during the ceremony.

Steve: Okay. Kitchen’s that way. The caterer has laid out a real nice brunch. You tell the cook I told him to hook you up.

Riggins: Thank you.

Steve: Okay. Ah, there you are.

Kayla: Hi.

Justin: Thanks for holding down the fort.

Steve: There’s not much to do. I haven’t seen the bride since she hightailed it upstairs with her sister-in-law.

Kayla: Well, I’ll go up and see bonnie and calista. See what’s going on.

Steve: All right.

Calista: You ready to go to hell, bonnie?

Bonnie: Let’s just see who gets there first!

[Both grunting]

[Gunshot]

[Dramatic music]

To be a thriver

Roman: [Chuckles]

Julie: Doug.

Doug: Julie. Jack. What are you guys doing here?

Julie: Oh, thank god. Thank god you’re all right. You are all right, aren’t you?

Doug: Of course I am.

Julie: [Sighs]

Doug: Well, you actually caught me in the act.

Julie: A burger? What do you mean?

Doug: I needed something meaty, something I could sink my teeth into.

Julie: Oh, darling. I don’t care about the burger.

Doug: You don’t?

Julie: No.

Doug: Well, terrific. Join me. Brews all around, on me.

Julie: Honey, I didn’t come here to drink, although it might do me some good. My blood is still needing to be thawed out after you locked me in the freezer.

Doug: What are you talking about?

Julie: And then you walked away and left me with my rear end frozen off.

Doug: Well, I would never do that.

Julie: But you did. You walked right up to the window, looked at me, walked away. I had to call poor jack to rescue me.

Doug: Well, I’m glad you’re safe and sound, honey. But darling, I think you have confused me with somebody else. Are you sure you’re okay?

Jack: You know, I think it’s been a really long afternoon, and I think it’d be a great idea if you and I got julie home.

Doug: Well, I haven’t finished my burger, and I had my eye on a piece of that devil’s food cake over there.

Roman: You know what? I’ll wrap all that up. How about that?

Doug: Yeah.

Roman: Okay?

Doug: That’d be splendid. Thank you. And I need one more of these.

Roman: [Chuckles] Okay.

Steve: I can pour you a shot of whiskey for that.

Justin: For what?

Steve: Nerves, although kayla would probably recommend yoga.

Justin: I’m not nervous. I’m worried about bonnie. She has been real jittery ever since calista showed up. I mean, this morning we were planning to have breakfast, and she just took off on some errand without a word to me. And she was supposed to go over to your place, and she was a no-show.

Steve: Yeah, bonnie was definitely jittery when she got here this morning.

Justin: And last night, kayla mentioned that bonnie seemed really upset about calista. Apparently, she didn’t want to talk about it though.

Steve: Kayla told me the same thing. She said bonnie was near tears, but she wouldn’t say why. Whatever it is, I can attest to the fact that calista is quite the character.

Justin: Why do you say that?

Steve: Well, for one thing, she made a pass at me.

Justin: Obviously, she didn’t know you were married.

Steve: Well, when I told her, it didn’t stop her. She jumped me.

Justin: Steve, sorry about that.

Steve: And when I asked her some questions about herself, she was very cagey. Do you know much about her?

Justin: No, no, bonnie never mentioned her before she just showed up out of the blue. And I’m just hoping that she will just disappear to where she came from once this wedding is over.

Bonnie: Oh, my god. She’s dead.

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Bonnie?

Bonnie: This can’t be happening.

[Knock at door]

Kayla: Bonnie, are you in there?

Bonnie: Yeah, but I’m just– I’m not decent.

Kayla: I just wanted to see if you needed some help getting ready.

Bonnie: No, I’m good. I’m good.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think you are quite.

Bonnie: What do you mean?

Kayla: I have your makeup bag here.

Bonnie: You can just leave it there. That’s fine.

Kayla: Oh, come on. I’m the matron of honor. It’s my job to help the bride get ready. I mean, not that you need much. I mean, you’re gonna be a beautiful bride. Did you know faded, dingy, and rough fabrics

Julie: Well, I finally got him settled. You know, he did not sleep a wink last night, really. That’s why he was a little off, and then, of course, the beer and that rich, rich meal, that didn’t help matters very much either, so–

Jack: Julie? When you were getting doug in the car, roman told me that doug called him john.

Julie: Oh, well, who doesn’t? I mean, it’s been confusing for years.

Jack: He also confused marlena with vivian, which you gotta admit, that’s a little harder to explain away. I know. I mean, nobody wants to think about this, but I really think that doug should see a doctor.

Julie: Don’t even say that. He’s just tired. He needs some rest, and when he’s rested, he’s fine. I know it.

Xander: So what are you gonna tell jack?

Gwen: I don’t know.

Xander: Well, that’s the wrong answer.

Gwen: Yeah, well, it’s the best one I’ve got at the moment. One positive from this, though. Jack won’t think you’re a drug runner anymore, so that means that he won’t get in the way of us potentially seeing one another.

Xander: Is that what you want?

Gwen: I don’t know, maybe. But you need to go get that money now, and I need to think about what I’m gonna say to my father.

Xander: Wait.

Gwen: What? Oh.

[Laughs] What was that for?

Xander: Luck.

Justin: A part of me can’t believe I’m actually going through with this. Steve, I know you thought I was crazy. That you thought I was only attracted to bonnie because she reminded me so much of adrienne. And I know, at first, you were right. Although they really couldn’t be any more different from one another.

Steve: Really?

Justin: But right now, I’m not looking for another adrienne. I just want to be able to live and laugh again.

Steve: Of course you do.

Justin: And, I mean, if i wasn’t confident that bonnie had turned her life around, there’s no way I could ever get past what she did with adrienne.

Steve: I know that.

Justin: I mean, I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of.

Steve: Same here, so who am I to judge?

Justin: I just want you to know that I know it took a lot for you to agree to be my best man, and I appreciate your support.

Steve: All I ask in return is that you be happy.

Justin: That’s the plan.

Steve: Okay.

Kayla: Oh, my gosh. Bonnie, what happened?

Bonnie: Uh…oh, you mean the feathers? Oh, gosh, they just don’t make pillows the way they used to. I was just trying to fluff one up, and it just exploded on me.

Kayla: And calista?

Bonnie: Oh, it’s the darndest thing. She said she wasn’t feeling well, and she just keeled right over.

Kayla: Why didn’t you say something? I’ll examine her.

Bonnie: No! You can’T.

[ “The addams family” theme playing ]

Kayla: Why don’t you want me to examine her?

Bonnie: Because I already know what’s wrong with her. She had, like, 16 mimosas at breakfast, and then she started puking before lunch, and I’ve been cleaning up after her ever since.

Kayla: On your wedding day? That’s awful.

Bonnie: Yeah, tell me about it. Anyway, she finally fell asleep, so I just–I don’t wanna– you know, don’t wanna take the chance waking her.

Kayla: Yeah. I can relate. I felt a bit rough this morning myself.

Bonnie: I guess I shouldn’t have suggested kamikazes last night, huh?

Kayla: Or maybe I just shouldn’t have tried to keep up with you. But it looks like your sister-in-law might just sleep right through the wedding, which is really a shame, because I know that she came all this way for the occasion.

Bonnie: Yeah. Definitely a shame.

Kayla: Are you all right?

Bonnie: Huh? Oh, I’m great. I mean, I’m marrying the man of my dreams! Top of the world, ma!

[Laughs]

Kayla: So why were you just shaking, and what happened to your nail?

Steve: All right. To the light that’s back in your eyes and the woman who put it there.

Riggins: Okay. The mini quiches are delicious, and the croissants are–mmm.

Steve: I told him he could help himself.

Justin: Oh.

Riggins: I’m happy to see we’re up to two people. It’s getting late, and I do have another gig, so are we getting this show on the road anytime soon?

Justin: I sure hope so.

Bonnie: Uh…um… must have lost it when calista timbered and I tried to catch her on the way down.

Kayla: After all that time at the manicurist.

Bonnie: Nothing is going the right way. Nothing’s going the way I planned it. I mean, it’s the most important day of my life, and I’m making a mess of it.

Kayla: Bonnie, bonnie, bonnie, it’s all right. It’s just a nail, huh?

Bonnie: Yeah, it’s just a nail. Just a nail. Just–yeah.

[Breathes shakily]

Kayla: Are you sure you’re all right?

Bonnie: Justin is the best thing that ever happened to me. I just want to marry him before something else goes wrong, okay?

Kayla: And you will. But you know wt?Ha we need to take care of some rituals first.

Bonnie: Okay. Kamikazes at midnight, check.

Kayla: No, no. Yeah, no. But something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

Bonnie: Well, calista kind of took care of that part. It’s borrowed, blue, some old tears, and some new stains. Ew. On second thought, I’m just gonna leave it here.

Kayla: Okay, then. Why don’t we get you into your dress and get you married?

Bonnie: Yeah.

[Both laugh]

Jack: You and doug have been married more than half your lives, and so of course you don’t want to think about that. You know, I don’t either, but it could be something that’s completely treatable.

Julie: Or it could be nothing at all.

Jack: Exactly. It could be nothing at all. In which case, why don’t we get it checked out? And then you’ll have peace of mind. Look at you. You’re still shivering. I think it’d be a good idea for you to get checked out too.

Julie: I’m not going anywhere. And neither is my husband.

Steve: I know brides can take their sweet time getting ready, but if we don’t get this party started soon, I’m afraid the jp’s gonna move on to his next gig. I’m gonna go check with the ladies and see if I can get an eta.

Justin: Good, good, good.

Kayla: Okay.

Steve: There they are.

Bonnie: Hi.

Justin: Bonnie, you look absolutely stunning.

Bonnie: You look pretty stunning yourself.

Steve: Where’s calista?

Kayla: Indisposed.

Steve: Too bad.

Justin: So are you ready to do this?

Bonnie: More ready than I’ve been in my entire life. I order my groceries online now.

Jack: There you are.

Gwen: Hi. Hi. Didn’t expect to see you back so soon. Julie, hope you’re doing okay.

Julie: [Chuckles] Please, gwen. I’m sure you were probably praying I’d turn into a popsicle. Excuse me, darling. I’m gonna go check on doug.

Gwen: Doug? What’s wrong with doug?

Jack: We’re not exactly sure.

Riggins: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Matrimony should be entered into solemnly. With reverence and honor. Therefore, if any person here objects to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Calista: I have an objection. The bride just tried to kill me!

[Groans]

Gwen: Oh, dear. Do you think it’s dementia?

Jack: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I’m afraid julie’s in denial that anything is wrong.

Gwen: I’m so sorry. Really, I am. Look, I know that julie and i aren’t really pals, but doug–well, he and I shared a few midnight pints together. He’s good people.

Jack: He is. But on the subject of not-so-good people, what were you gonna tell me before julie called, about snyder holding something over you to make you run drugs for him?

Gwen: You know what? Actually, can we just talk about this another time?

Jack: Now would be good.

Gwen: Well, I just see how very worried you are about doug, and I just remembered I have an errand that I have to run.

Jack: But you just got home.

Gwen: Yeah. I won’t be long. Sorry. Yeah. Thanks.

Justin: Bonnie, is something wrong?

Bonnie: [Chuckles] What could be wrong? Marrying a dreamboat like you.

[Chuckles] I’m sorry. Where were we?

Riggins: Matrimony should be entered into solemnly and with reverence and honor. Therefore, if any person here objects to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Xander: I have an objection.

Justin: What the hell are you doing here?

Xander: Your blushing bride stole $1 million from me, and I want it back.

Justin: Xander. Leave. Now.

Xander: You’re gonna wanna hear this, cuz. I guarantee it. You might even thank me.

Kayla: What’s this about?

Xander: Glad you asked. Quite simple, really. I had a briefcase full of cash in my room which has gone missing, and the only person that could have taken it is bonnie.

Justin: Why would bonnie be in your room?

Xander: Oh, I can think of one million reasons. But why don’t you ask her?

Justin: Bonnie, did you go to xander’s room?

Bonnie: Yes, I did, but to invite this lunkhead to our wedding.

Justin: Why would you do that?

Bonnie: Because he’s family. Victor refused to come, and none of your sons could make it on such short notice, so I thought inviting your cousin would be a nice surprise.

Xander: The only surprise was you running off with all my cash. Although, knowing your history, that’s not really that much of a surprise, is it?

Justin: All right, xander. You’re gonna stop right now.

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Riggins: This is obviously a private matter. I will give you some time.

Kayla: Xander seems to have a newfound habit of crashing private parties and making scandalous claims.

Xander: Ah, but in the case of nicole and eric’s anniversary party, which is what I assume you’re alluding to, I merely stated fact. And that party is strangely relevant, because that’s how I earned the million dollars in question. And in that case, my scandalous claim was true, just as it is in this case. Isn’t that right, bonnie?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: Hang on a sec. Sheila’s back?

Brooke: At your house?

Ridge: Hey, she wants to spend more time with him. What’s going on, steffy? Where is she now?

Steffy: She’s in the hospital.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: Sheila’s in the hospital. Finn’s with her. Oh my god.

Steffy: I’m terrified knowing what she’s gonna do next. What she’s planning. Like, how is she gonna try to contact you?

Finn: That’s not gonna happen.

Steffy: You swore that she would never come near you or our son. She’s never gonna be satisfied, finn. She’s not. Now that she’s held our son.

Finn: I’m not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You said that you would leave and never come back.

Sheila: That was my intention. And then steffy burst in and she ruined my moment with my grandson. I would just like to hold him one more time.

Finn: No. No, you need to honor your word and just stay away from us. My son and I will have no part of your life. Not ever.

[ Thud ]

Finn: Whoa, whoa, hey. Sheila. Hey, sheila. Sheila! Hey. Sheila.

Nurse: I’ve been doing this a lot of years.

Finn: Sorry?

Nurse: Monitoring patients. Checking vitals. I’m pretty good at it. You’re pretty good at it too.

Finn: At what?

Nurse: Not looking over nurse’s shoulders. Letting us do our jobs. It’s why we all like working with you.

Finn: I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing, emily. I apologize.

Nurse: No need. I was teasing. Plus I understand.

Finn: You understand?

Nurse: Why you’re keeping a close eye on the patient too. She’s a relative, right?

Finn: How’d you know?

Nurse: Nurses see all, know all. I’m guessing an aunt.

Finn: No. She’s my mother.

Zende: Hmm. I don’t know. Still not sure about the waist. It’s missing something. A belt, maybe? How’s that feel?

Sakoya: I like it.

Zende: I meant the belt.

Sakoya: Maybe you should get a second opinion.

Zende: Paris, hey! How long have you been standing there?

Paris: Long enough to know that you’re in trouble. That belt, you can’t be serious with that.

Sakoya: That’s what I told him.

Paris: Yeah, you did. It’s too much. It takes away from her gorgeous waistline.

Zende: Okay, but like I was saying to sakoya, it still needs something.

Paris: What about a beaded waistline?

Zende: You mean a beaded belt?

Paris: No, beads sewn directly onto the fabric in a fun, geometric pattern? Something that really catches the eye. In a good way.

Zende: Start sewing.

Paris: Excuse me?

Zende: Your suggestion. The beaded waistline. Show me exactly what you had in mind.

Paris: Ha! Right. Yeah, right. No.

Zende: What? With your eye, your fashion sense, I can’t wait to see how it turns out. He’s always like this, isn’t he?

Sakoya: I know you’re keeping it on the dl, but you’re really lucky, having a guy like zende.

[ Laughing ]

Zende: She’s right.

Paris: How lucky I am?

Zende: It goes both ways. For instance, I’m lucky I get to work in the same building as you. Not only do I get to benefit from your amazing suggestions and on-point fashion sense, I get to do a lot of this.

Ridge: Why is sheila at the hospital?

Brooke: What happened?

Steffy: Apparently, she passed out and finn took her to the hospital.

Ridge: Finn took her to the hospital. How is that possible? He was gonna stay away from her.

Steffy: According to finn, she just showed up. She just came to our house.

Ridge: Just came to the house. I knew this was gonna happen. Because this woman– it doesn’t matter who raised finn. She thinks she’s his mother, his only mother.

Finn: I am so sorry about earlier. The things I said. I’m worried that’s what upset you and caused you to collapse. And yes, I need to honor my wife’s wishes. But I just met you. The woman that I’ve been wondering about my entire life. And if I were to lose you now? I can’t lose you.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Finn?

Finn: Mom? Hey. Hey.

Sheila: My son.

Finn: Hey. Yes, mom. Mom. Hey, it’s finn, yeah. Hey, I’m right here. I’m right here by your side. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Zende: Thanks. I’ll let steffy know when I see her.

Paris: Someone looking for steffy?

Zende: Yeah, but I can handle it if I can do anything to lighten the load at work.

Paris: You’re worried about steffy too.

Zende: Especially after everything you told me earlier. I mean, she and finn are newlyweds. He’s sleeping in the guest house?

Paris: That’s what she wants.

Zende: No, what she wants is sheila completely out of their lives. But she comes home unexpectedly, finds her mother-in-law from hell there holding her baby. Only to find out that finn allowed it?

Paris: He was being pressured by her dad. Sheila was waiting outside.

Zende: I know, I’m not taking sides. And finn is super cool. He’s also the best thing that’s happened to steffy in a long time. They haven’t even filed their marriage certificate yet.

Paris: Well, they were supposed to do that today, but steffy cancelled the appointment until this whole situation with sheila is resolved.

Zende: That’s why you think my cousin’s overreacting.

Paris: Look, I know that you and steffy are family. But yeah, I do think that she’s treating finn unfairly. She has to realize how lucky she is to be married to a guy like that.

Brooke: What else did finn say?

Ridge: More importantly, what did the doctors say?

Steffy: It’s too soon to know anything.

Ridge: It’s too soon to figure out if she maybe faked all this? This is classic sheila carter.

Steffy: I don’t blame him. He did the right thing. He told her to leave.

Ridge: Oh and don’t tell me, that’s when she collapsed, right? That’s convenient, isn’t it?

Brooke: That woman is a master of manipulation. She is so calculated with everything she does. Nobody is immune.

Ridge: Even her own son.

Steffy: Despite everything we told him, he is vulnerable to her. But I’m going to make sure he’s not manipulated by that monster again. I have to go.

[ Sighing ]

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Finn. My son, my son. Is that you?

Finn: Yeah, mom, it’s me. It’s finn. I’m right here.

Sheila: Where are we?

Finn: In the hospital.

Sheila: The hospital?

Finn: You collapsed at the house. Do you remember?

Sheila: I wanted to see you and hayes. I love you both so much. But I couldn’t see you. You wouldn’t let me because of steffy. Literally felt like my heart was being broken in two. I wouldn’t be able to see you or my beautiful grandson ever again. That’s the last thing I remember before I collapsed. But you didn’t leave me. You’re here with me. You stayed by your mother’s side. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Zende: I am sure that steffy realizes how fortunate she is sharing her life with a guy like finn.

Paris: Yeah, I hope so. Because guys like finn are few and far between.

Zende: I am standing right here. You keep talking like this, I’m gonna start thinking that you have a crush on the good doctor.

Paris: Oh please, that is steffy’s husband. I tell you one thing, if that were my husband, I would not be treating him the way steffy’s treating him right now. I mean, I get it. It’s complicated, this whole thing with sheila. But finn can’t help who his birth mother is.

Ridge: Maybe we should have gone with steffy to the hospital.

Brooke: You’re worried what she might do when she sees sheila.

Ridge: No, I know exactly what she’s gonna do when she sees her. I’m worried about what I’m gonna do when I’m in a room with that woman.

Brooke: I think that’s true for all of us.

Ridge: She’s tormented my family for so long. And now she’s going after my daughter. And her marriage. And it’s not working is it? And when things don’t work for her, she gets desperate and when she gets desperate–

Brooke: Honey, honey. I know you’re concerned. I am too. But as clever as sheila is, she is in the hospital. There’s nothing that she can do. They’re gonna do a bunch of tests on her and they’re gonna find out there’s nothing wrong with her. Nothing physically.

Ridge: But she always finds a way. She always finds a way to cause trouble. She wants to hurt my daughter now. Am I asking too much? Really, all I want is for that woman to rot in hell because of everything that she’s done to the people I love. Too much to ask, really?

Finn: I need to get your doctor. Let them know you’re conscious again.

Sheila: I don’t want you to leave me. Please don’t leave me.

Finn: I’m gonna be right back. You need to rest. Save your energy. Just rest. You can trust me. I’ll be right back.

Nurse: I was just coming in. How is she?

Finn: She’s awake. Came to a few moments ago. Where’s dr. Griffith?

Nurse: I’ll go page her.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: Finn!

Finn: Hey. Honey, you didn’t need to come. I know how you feel about sheila.

Steffy: I had to be here, for your sake.

Finn: Well, you don’t have to worry. She regained consciousness. Hopefully, she’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: What do you mean she’s gonna be okay? There was nothing wrong with her in the first place. Doing it yourself

Brooke: I feel the same way you do. Sheila is depraved and she is vile. And this latest stunt, it just proves the lengths she’ll go to to be in finn’s life.

Ridge: Yes, finn’s life. But not just finn’s life. Hayes’s life. She’s around, she’s gonna influence that little boy. Maybe not now because he’s a baby. But later on, she– we just gotta take care of this. We gotta deal with it.

Brooke: I thought we did deal with it. Last time she turned up in la. And look, she’s back. And in a way none of us ever anticipated, as finn’s birth mother? And steffy’s mother-in-law? I mean, your daughter is more tied to her now than she ever was before.

Ridge: I know all that. This woman, she shows up and she causes trouble, she always causes trouble. And yes, she wants a relationship with finn, and hayes and all of us, the forresters. That’s what she wants. She’s obsessed with this family. I’m not gonna let steffy deal with this on her own. She’s strong and she’s tough, but sheila, she’s whacked. And it’s gonna take all of us to take care of it. We have to deal with this once and for all.

Finn: I can understand why you might jump to that conclusion but she–

Steffy: Oh come on, this is clearly just an act. You’re telling me she just collapsed out of nowhere? Really?

Finn: Steffy, you weren’t there. You didn’t see what I saw.

Steffy: Okay, tell me exactly that you saw. I want to know everything.

Finn: Okay, this is just gonna have to wait. Okay? Sheila, she just regained consciousness, her doctor hasn’t even seen her yet.

Steffy: Okay, well I wanna see her.

Finn: Okay, just– she’s a little out of it. Okay, please don’t do or say anything that might upset her.

Finn: She may have fallen asleep.

Steffy: She can fake that too. Seems fine to me.

Finn: She collapsed. It was sudden.

Steffy: She did that to scare you. To make you worried. It’s just a ploy.

Finn: I’m a doctor, steffy. You may think sheila’s collapse was all for show–

Steffy: But you don’t? Really?

Finn: We need to wait for the test results.

Steffy: Okay, I can’t wait. Because then we’ll all find out it’s just an act, sheila.

Finn: Come on, steffy.

Steffy: You come on! She’s manipulating you. Don’t you see that? My god. I love you. I really do and I know you’re in a really tough position right now. She gave birth to you and you’re still trying to let go of the fact that she brought you into this world, but she’s done all of these terrible, criminal things. She is evil. She lies and manipulates. She does it over and over and she’s doing it right now. You need to just– you need to let go. You need to walk away. It is obvious. Just walk away from this, please. Not just for me and the kids. But you need to do it for yourself. Leave and never come back. It’s that easy.

Sheila: Damn you, steffy. Don’t listen to her, finn. Don’t leave me. Don’t leave your mother.

Young & The Restless Update

Recap written by Christine

Rey showed up at Adam’s office. Sighing deeply, Adam asked what Rey was going to try and arrest him for this time. Rey was actually there with Connor’s baseball cap. He explained that he ran into Connor and the nanny at the park, and they talked. When Connor left, he forgot his cap. Adam said it was Connor’s favorite. Rey turned to leave, but Adam said that thought Rey deserved props for rescuing Mariah. Rey gave the credit to Devon, who followed up on his feeling about Stitch. Adam had no idea things got so far off course. Rey thought Adam was insinuating that he should’ve gotten updates on the case, as if he were part of the inner circle. Adam said he cared. “About Mariah or about Sharon?,” Rey asked. Adam commented that this was the longest conversation they’d ever had without Sharon coming up. He felt that Rey’s jealousy was constant.

Adam said that not everything was about Sharon. Abby was his sister, and the baby was his nephew. Rey sarcastically replied that he forgot how close Abby and Adam were. Adam stated that he cared about Mariah, but Rey contended he only cared because she was Sharon’s daughter. “So you’re saying that I should just hit the off switch on my feelings? That Sharon doesn’t deserve any of my concern?,” Adam asked. Rey noted that he never said that, but Adam thought that’s what he meant. Adam said that his past with Sharon couldn’t be erased. She was the most decent loving person he knew, and he only cared about what was best for her and the people who mattered to her. He said Rey could accept that or he could fly into a rage every time he heard the name Adam.

Rey felt that Adam had enough to deal with in his own family without inserting himself in anyone else’s. “Stop worrying about Sharon’s daughter. Worry about your son,” Rey snapped. Adam asked why – because he lost his hat? When Rey talked with Connor at the park, he could tell something was going on with him. He said Adam was here, and Chelsea was out of state, which could get confusing for a kid. Adam was adamant that his family was under control. It didn’t sound like that to Rey. Adam ordered Rey to leave. Rey said that Connor was wondering when he and his parents would be a family again – he was smart and he could tell things were different. Rey wasn’t telling Adam how to handle things, but he asserted that things needed handling. He told Adam to focus on that and not what was going on in Sharon’s life.

Moses bumped into Faith at the park. She was going to see Mariah, and she invited him along, but he declined, because he assumed Mariah wasn’t up for meeting someone new right now. He said they’d catch up later. He’d spend his time brainstorming about their first date.

Tessa and Mariah went to Crimson Lights to get coffee, but Mariah quickly became entranced by a woman with a baby, and she didn’t hear Sharon asking for her order. After the mother left, Sharon gave Mariah a drink. Mariah felt reassured because it tasted just like it did before she got kidnapped. Sharon was concerned because Mariah didn’t answer her earlier. Mariah said she just spaced out. Sharon could tell there was something going on, and she assured Mariah that she could talk. Mariah admitted things had been difficult. For so long, it was just her and Bowie. She spent her time talking to the baby. She promised him she’d keep him safe and that they’d make it out alive. Tessa said that was a lot of pressure Mariah put on herself, especially when she didn’t know what was going on. Mariah said that it was her job, more than a job, Bowie had been her reason for living. Then came the intense and urgent rescue and birth. Then Bowie – Dominic went home with his mother. Sharon stated that Mariah bonded with the baby, and now she felt something had been taken from her.

Mariah said she and the baby had a real bond, which she wasn’t supposed to feel. She knew he wasn’t her baby. Tessa thought it was okay for Mariah to feel a bond with the baby. Mariah asked what to do with the feelings. Sharon said that the connection wouldn’t go away – he was Abby’s son, but he wouldn’t be there without Mariah. Mariah thought she had to train herself out of calling him Bowie, but Sharon felt it was okay for Mariah to have a special nickname for him. Tessa thought that Dominic would be happy to have such a cool nickname. Sharon thought it was really important for Mariah to tell Abby all this. Mariah wasn’t sure, but Sharon said Abby was a friend, and she wanted what was best for Mariah.

Faith rushed in and hugged Mariah. Tessa and Sharon thought the sisters needed time, so they went out to the patio. They smiled as they heard Mariah and Faith laughing inside. Mariah told Faith that her pledge to torture and destroy Stitch would get her and Mariah locked away forever. Mariah liked how protective Faith was, though. Faith asked if Mariah was okay. Her parents wouldn’t tell her much, because they didn’t want her to freak out. Mariah understood that, because Faith had a rough year. Faith asserted that she was stronger now, and she wanted to help. Mariah suggested that they do a girls’ night soon and they’d talk about everything. Mariah wasn’t ready to talk just yet. Faith told Mariah not to feel pressured to move on. She thought Mariah should focus on the people who cared about her now. Mariah said that Faith had changed in the short time Mariah was away – she was more positive and solid. She asked if this had anything to do with Moses. Faith confirmed that it did.

Later, Sharon and Mariah were alone together. Tessa was on the patio on the phone. Mariah said Tessa was canceling her gig to spend as much time with Mariah as possible. Mariah was grateful Tessa wanted to take care of her, but they worked so hard on Tessa’s career, and she didn’t want Tessa to start canceling things because of her. Sharon said that they might seem clingy because, for weeks, they were all upset and frustrated, thinking Mariah was pushing them away, then when they learned the truth, they were kicking themselves for not realizing Stitch manipulated them. Mariah didn’t want them feeling guilty. She didn’t want to have to keep reassuring people that she didn’t blame them. Sharon said she’d try not to blame herself. Mariah knew Sharon and Nick shielded Faith from what happened. Mariah said that Faith was growing up fast, and she was strong, so they should treat her that way.

Sharon was caught off guard, and Mariah got nervous, when Adam walked in. Adam was happy Mariah was safe and back home. She mumbled thanks, and he asked if he’d said something wrong. “Yeah, sorry if I’m a little tense around people like you right now, but I was just freed from the clutches of a madman who kidnapped me without a care for the life of an unborn baby because he wanted to win back a certain woman and get her to like him again,” she replied. She got up and put distance between them. Adam was sorry for what Mariah went through. He was just trying to express sympathy, and he knew he wasn’t one of her favorite people. Sharon said Adam wouldn’t try to do anything to make Mariah uncomfortable. Adam said he wouldn’t interrupt, and he walked away. Mariah felt like Sharon always took Adam’s side. Sharon said she wasn’t taking his side, she was just trying to defuse the situation. “Point taken,” Mariah said. Tessa returned – they wouldn’t let her out of the gig. Mariah was glad, because she felt fine. She just needed to go home and pump for the baby. Sharon asked Mariah to let her know if she needed anything.

After Mariah and Tessa left, Sharon asked Adam what he was doing here after he’d said he was going to keep his distance. He’d come to get her advice, as Connor’s former therapist, on how to talk to him about Chelsea. Adam thought he’d made a mistake coming here, so he left. Rey arrived later and Sharon thanked him again for bringing Mariah home safe. He thought Devon deserved a lot of the credit. He thought he should’ve paid more attention to Sharon’s intuition that something was wrong. Sharon said all that mattered was that Mariah was home now. She hoped Mariah wouldn’t be scarred for life. Rey said Mariah was a warrior, which got her through this ordeal. He thought what she needed most was to know the people around her loved her and had her back. The way Sharon reacted made Rey ask if something else happened. Sharon said that Mariah got hostile and aggressive with Adam, and when Sharon tried to keep the peace, Mariah accused her of taking his side. Sharon said she wasn’t doing that, it was all about Mariah’s reaction. She hoped she didn’t upset Rey. He said it was fine. She agreed that Mariah was a warrior, but it was going to take a lot for her to get through this, and she hoped Mariah got the hope she needed. Rey said that he had his own run in with Adam today. He said they got into it about Adam’s refusal to stay out of Sharon’s life. He wasn’t surprised Adam showed up here and tried to get into the middle of things with Sharon and Mariah. Sharon mentioned that Adam said he came to get her advice on what Connor was going through. She believed Adam was sincere about wanting to be a better person, she just didn’t know if he had the skill set yet.

Devon was at the Chancellor house. He wistfully picked up a pair of baby booties, which he quickly dropped as Abby returned and reported that Dominic was napping. Abby sensed that Mariah was going through a hard time, and not just with the kidnapping, and she got the feeling that Devon was going through a hard time too. He said if he seemed like he was having a hard time it was because he was trying to figure out how to best support her. He noted that she had to figure out how to parent without Chance for the time being. She pointed out that women took care of babies with or without partners for centuries. He didn’t want to burden her by being here too much, but he also didn’t want to leave her hanging. She assured him he’d never be a burden. She wanted him to come by whenever he wanted. She stated that he was her best friend, and she could talk to him about things she couldn’t share with Mariah, Nina or Ashley. She hoped that he didn’t start hiding things from her. He agreed to be open and honest with her.

Devon asked what Abby noticed with Mariah. Abby mentioned Mariah’s nightmare. She thought Mariah was just pretending to be okay. Devon thought that was understandable, given what she went through. Abby noted that Mariah was trapped in the room, with no way of knowing if anyone was looking for her, and she was trying to protect the baby. Devon was sure Mariah felt like it was her and the baby against the world. Abby said Mariah gave birth, and she had to hand the baby over. She must feel overwhelmed. Devon said Stitch took Mariah from her friends and her family, and she wasn’t able to make plans, go shopping for the baby, go to the doctor’s appointments together. He was sure Mariah had some things to work through, but it wasn’t about Abby or the baby. It was about what Stitch put her through. He advised Abby sit Mariah down and talk to her.

While Abby was upstairs, Devon talked to Christine on the phone. Abby returned, and Devon broke the news that Chance had gone even deeper undercover, and Christine couldn’t get a message to him. Abby choked back tears. She was trying to be patient, but Chance deserved to know he had a son, and Dominic deserved to meet his father. Devon told Abby to remember there was nothing Chance wanted more than to get back to her. Abby was stunned when Devon said it might be a good thing that Chance didn’t know about Dominic’s birth. Devon explained that if Chance had to go that deep undercover, things must have gotten intense, and if he knew the baby was born, that might distract him, or make him feel more guilty than he already felt. Abby said that Devon always knew just what to say.

Faith went back to the park, and Moses was there with Devon. Devon had just spoke with Sofia on the phone, and he’d tried to convince her that it was worthwhile for Moses to stay in Genoa City even though he was no longer pursuing a career in medicine. Moses’ mom had been noncommittal, so Devon said it was up to Moses to convince her to let him stay, if that’s what he wanted. Moses stared at Faith and said that was what he wanted.

As Devon was leaving the park, Tessa and Mariah arrived. Devon said he was there for Mariah if she needed him. She thanked him, but he’d already done so much. She said everything would be fine – she had the best support team in the world, him included. “You’ll always be the guy who delivered my baby,” she said. Tessa said she should get Mariah home, and Devon asked if everything was okay. Mariah said she was fine; she had to get home to pump for Bow- Dominic. She said Devon would always be a hero. The rest of the conversation played out as a voice over, while a scene of Abby and Dominic was on the screen. Abby walked around holding Dominic as Devon said he was in the right place at the right time, which didn’t make him a hero. He said he was struggling with things too, just like everyone else.

Abby put Dominic in his bassinet and told him she’d be right back. While she was upstairs, Mariah came in and called for Abby. She didn’t see her, but she saw Dominic and she went over and cooed over him. “Did you miss me? Cause I missed you so much,” she said. She hummed the lullaby Tessa wrote. Abby came in and stopped in the doorway and watched with a concerned look on her face.

Devon went home and looked at a picture of himself with Neil. He then flashed back to Dominic’s birth.

Faith told Moses that this was the most important phone call of his entire life, and she wanted to make it a success. She said she’d play his mom, so he could rehearse, and he laughed because she didn’t look a thing like his mom. She didn’t think that was important. She told him to take out his phone and pretend to make the call. He did so, and as “Sofia” Faith asked Moses if he was wasting his time on girls. Moses said there was one girl, but she was not a waste of time. “Sofia” demanded that Moses tell her all about this girl, or she’d make him come back to NY. He said Faith was one in a trillion, and she had a great family – her grandfather used to work with his father. He thought Faith was smart, beautiful, funny, fun and she made him happy. He thought she was honest, thoughtful and fearless, and she was one of the reasons he couldn’t come home yet. “Sofia” asked what about her. Moses said his mom could come visit him in Genoa City. He stated that this place and these people were part of Neil, which made them part of Moses too. He promised that his mom would never lose him. The fake call ended, and Faith told Moses that he’d do great.

Billy: Well, you missed a doozy of a party last night.

Victoria: Well, no black eyes, no bruises. You don’t seem hungover. Those are all very positive signs.

Billy: No, I was on very good behavior, although some of the other guests, not so much.

Victoria: Really?

Billy: Yeah. There is a new troublemaker in town, and she is not afraid to take on the big dogs. Her name…

Victoria: Drum roll…

Billy: Sally spectra.

Victoria: Oh, really? What has sally pulled now?

Sally: Good morning.

Lily: And I think you’ll find everything in order, as we discussed.

Elena: [ Sighs ] I could only imagine what kind of glamorous perks newman media was gonna counter-offer with.

Lily: Wait. Newman media tried to steal you away?

Elena: Yeah. Nate didn’t tell you? Victor asked me last night if i had already signed my contract with chanccomm. He was apparently gonna make me this lucrative offer.

Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh, my god. I cannot believe they would try to poach you like that.

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, I guess the gloves are off. The competition has officially begun.

[ Door closes ]

Sharon: Victor. Um, dominic and his entourage should be here pretty soon.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] This looks wonderful here. How is mariah doing after her ordeal?

Sharon: You know, she’s really going through a rough time, and we’re all doing everything we can to help her.

Victor: Oh, well, considering what mariah has done for abby, it will not be forgotten.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Sharon: Oh, um, that’s probably them now.

Victor: Oh. Wow.

Ashley: The grandmas have arrived!

Nina: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: All in all, I’d say the launch was a huge success. Newman media is off to a great start. I mean, adam even brought up the new hope tie-in in his opening speech.

Devon: Oh, that’s great, man. I apologize for not being there.

Nick: [ Chuckling ] Oh, come on, man. You’ve got enough going on. I can imagine when you signed on to help chance and abby create a baby, you didn’t think that you’d be literally delivering the baby, as well.

Devon: Dude, you have no idea. And the hardest part of the whole thing wasn’t even the actual birth. It was trying to wrap my mind around what the hell stitch did.

Nick: Yeah. Shocking. But you know what? It all worked out. And you, my friend, ended up looking like a real hero.

Mariah: Uh, hey, abby, have they heard anything about stitch at all? Does rey know where he is?

Abby: No, but I still believe that since he took max out of that care facility, he wouldn’t risk coming back here.

Tessa: Well, if he knows what’s good for him, he won’T. I hope him and max are far, far away from G.C.

Abby: You don’t have to worry. Devon hired extra security at the house. You’re gonna be safe.

Mariah: And dominic will be, too.

Tessa: Yeah.

Adam: Good morning.

Sally: I didn’t expect to see you up and out so early this morning.

Adam: Sally, relax.

Sally: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say ’cause after that kiss last night and you telling me that nothing like that can ever happen again, I can’t help but wonder what you might think of me in the cold light of day.

Adam: Oh, you mean this awkwardness — it had nothing to do with your little champagne and ice battle with phyllis?

Sally: She deserved that, and you know it. But, yes, yes, I do feel a little bit guilty about that. I’m just glad there’s not a meme of me drenched going viral somewhere ’cause that’s the last thing you need as the takeaway from your big event.

Adam: No, the night was an unqualified success, even if everybody did get a little side of drama with their shrimp puffs.

Sally: So, where does this leave us? We good?

Adam: We are good.

Sally: Great. So…dinner then?

Victoria: So, sally and adam — they showed up together at the party? Wow. Well, I have to say, the two of them royally deserve one another.

Billy: That’s actually not the only embarrassing moment sally had last night. She got into a drink-throwing competition with phyllis, ended up with a bucket of ice poured over her head.

Victoria: Oh, well, for the first time, I think I’m gonna have to side with phyllis after what sally pulled on summer. But I do not regret missing that party because I spent some quality time with our children.

Billy: Well, I’m not knocking you spending quality time with the children, of course, but nick told me that the reason you and ashland weren’t at the party is because he had his last chemo session. I hope he’s doing okay.

Victoria: Do you? Do you really? I mean, if you really cared, would you be going full steam ahead with your little locke story? You know, the one that was supposed to be about tara?

Billy: News is news.

Victoria: Yeah, well, I have a feeling it’s about more than that. You profess on one hand to be so supportive, but your focus of the investigation has shifted from the actual criminal, tara, and you’re now zeroing in on ashland.

Billy: I will always support you and our children, of course. It is your best interests that i have at heart.

Victoria: Well, that’s a good thing, but you have to understand that ashland is not the enemy here. I know you, billy. You just can’t help yourself. You will over-play anything negative that your reporters turn up, and you’ll use it to make ashland look bad.

Billy: Whatever we publish, it’ll be unbiased and fair.

Victoria: Well, I wish i could believe that, but I can already tell that this is going in an aggressive direction.

Billy: You feel that way because you sense it, too. Ashland is hiding something big.

Nate: Ashland. How you feeling?

Ashland: I’m doing much better. Thank you. Those supplements you gave me are definitely helping.

Nate: Glad to hear it.

Ashland: Now I want to repay the favor.

Nate: Hey, that’s absolutely not necessary.

Ashland: Well, uh, don’t turn it down until you see the number.

Nate: Seriously, it’s not that big of a deal.

[ Sighs ] Okay, are — are you kidding me? Look, I don’t know what those doctors in manhattan are charging you, but this — this is insane. Those supplements weren’t lined with gold or crushed diamonds.

Ashland: I’m well aware. This money is not for you.

Sharon: Abby’s gonna be so thrilled that the two of you are here.

Ashley: I’m just thrilled we were able to make it here in time for dominic’s homecoming.

Nina: Our little grandson.

Ashley: I know!

Nina: He truly is a miracle baby. I mean, we’re lucky he made it, in spite of everything that stitch did.

Ashley: I know. I can’t believe he put that child in such jeopardy, not to mention what he did to mariah.

Nina: It’s over now. Everyone’s safe and sound.

Ashley: Yeah. And we just have to be grateful, right? Because even though dominic was early, his vitals are healthy and strong. And we can just focus on the positive now.

Nina: Yeah. I’m just missing one thing. I — I really wish I could talk to chance.

Victor: Well, now, I wish he were here to welcome his son home.

Nina: Yeah. But I am not going to let anything get me down today. And, besides, chance wouldn’t want us missing him and worrying about him today. He’d want us to have a joyous and memorable homecoming for abby and the baby and mariah.

Tessa: Okay. So, how are you feeling?

Mariah: Uh…can’t lie. I’m — I’m a little anxious. My nerves are on edge just thinking about leaving here.

Tessa: Why? Most people are thrilled to leave the hospital.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but I just felt so safe here. And bowie was right down the hall, and I… when we go back to abby’s, the entire dynamic is gonna shift, and…I have to remember to start calling him dominic.

Tessa: I know that this is gonna be really difficult, but we’re still living at the chancellor house, so you’ll get to see the baby every day.

Mariah: Yeah. You’re right. You’re right. You know, it’s gonna be a lot better just knowing that he’s close by and I can see him and I can watch over him. It’s gonna be okay. It will be okay. It has to be okay.

Abby: The paperwork’s all taken care of. Now, let’s bring our baby boy home.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Billy: Come on. Be honest with me. Be honest with yourself. How much do you really know about ashland’s past — more specifically, his early years in the business world?

Victoria: So, it was you digging around in ashland’s past. Lily wouldn’t admit it outright.

Billy: There’s nothing to admit if his past was squeaky-clean, but it’s not.

Victoria: Okay, so, what are you gonna do? Are you just gonna keep digging around until you uncover something negative and then run a headline about it? Well, I have a news flash for you, billy. You dig around in anyone’s past long enough, you’ll find someone willing to trash them.

Billy: Victoria, it’s a very logical question. How did ashland pay for those two news stations? There is no record of bank loans or other investors, and it begs the question — what is the nature of his relationship with a much older, very wealthy mentor?

Victoria: Okay. That’s enough. Stay out of ashland’s life. Stay out of our lives.

Billy: Victoria, where’d the money come from? What’s he hiding, vick?

Nick: What the hell was that about?

Billy: I think I hit a nerve.

Chloe: Hey, guys.

Adam: Chloe. Hey, we missed you at the launch party last night.

Chloe: Yeah, it looks like i missed a lot. Sorry I missed it. Miles wasn’t feeling well.

Sally: Well, I’m sure you’re gonna hear about this sooner or later eventually, so you might as well hear about it from me. Phyllis and I got into it again.

Chloe: Ah, why am I not surprised?

Adam: Sally is totally underselling it. She threw a glass of champagne in phyllis’s face, and phyllis retaliated by pouring an ice bucket over her head.

Sally: Okay, you left out the part where phyllis goaded me into it.

Chloe: Adam, you know their dynamic. Why didn’t you keep an eye on them to make sure that things didn’t get out of control?

Adam: Thanks, chloe. I know that you can always find a reason to blame me for anything.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] So, what sort of damage control are we talking about here?

Sally: None, actually, whatsoever. Nobody posted a video of it, the press didn’t get a hold of it, and I’m sure that is a testament to adam’s outstanding P.R. Management.

Adam: Ah, she’s giving me more credit than I deserve. It was, uh, mostly just dumb luck. But I’m sure that you’ve noticed all the positive buzz we’ve gotten, so you should use that to your advantage for the fashion platform.

Chloe: Yeah, I’m already on it.

Adam: Oh, you should ask sally about the idea she came up with last night at the launch. It might be just what we need. Anyway, uh, I’ll see you at the office later.

Chloe: Well, I bet I know exactly what your great idea is all about.

Lily: God, newman media will stoop so low to beat chanccomm by any means necessary.

Elena: Lily, it’s totally fine. I am signing this contract. And just to make things perfectly clear, I didn’t entertain victor’s offer for even a second.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. I’m very grateful for that. Loyalty is huge for me. And I promise you it will be repaid. And I’m already excited about all of your ideas.

Elena: Well, that means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you are.

Lily: Aww. I don’t know about all that, but — [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Oh, I do. I’ve watched you step into this high-powered position with such poise and grace. How could I not admire you?

Lily: Thank you. I mean, it’s been a very long journey to get here.

Elena: Hey, lily, can I ask you a question?

Lily: Yeah, of course.

Elena: Actually, never mind. I don’t want to be intrusive, especially since you are now my boss.

Lily: Alright. You know what? We need to fix that.

Elena: What do you mean?

Lily: Well, we are officially off the clock, okay? And we are gonna go out, and we’re gonna have some long-overdue girl talk.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: Can you believe our abby’s a mother? She’s a mommy!

Victor: This is your first grandchild. Welcome to the club. It’s wonderful beyond anything you can imagine.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Hey!

Sharon: Hey! Did you buy the whole baby store?!

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Oh, no. Hello, everyone.

Victor: Oh, my goodness. Devon.

Ashley: Hi!

Devon: How are you? I just, uh —

Victor: Look at that.

Devon: I just came by to drop off these gifts. But, uh, I don’t want to crowd abby and mariah today. I know it’s a special moment for them.

Sharon: No, it’s a special moment for you, too. You should stay.

Nina: I see them! They’re here.

Devon: Yeah.

Sharon: Welcome, mariah.

Mariah: Hi. Wow.

Devon: Hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Hello, mariah.

Nina: Hi!

Devon: Looking good.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Hi!

Nina: Oh!

Devon: There he is.

Abby: [ Sighing ] Ooh! Welcome, dominic, to your new home and family.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Dominic, this is your grandma. This is grandma ashley.

Nina: Oh, my goodness.

Abby: She is my mom. And this is your other grandma, nana nina. This is chance’s mom.

Ashley: Abby, he’s just beautiful.

Abby: I know. [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Perfect. What a beautiful boy.

Abby: My gosh, dominic, look at all of these decorations.

[ Gasps ] You guys, you really went overboard. Thank you for making this day even more special.

Victor: You are lucky. You know that, don’t you?

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Huh? You know what family you were born into, full of loving family members, the newmans, abbotts, chancellors, all loving you. You’ll be spoiled. You know that.

[ Laughter ] Yes. You’re the perfect mother.

Abby: Thank you.

Sally: I don’t know what you’re insinuating, chloe, but nothing happened between me and adam last night.

Chloe: Hey, I am not judging. I just saw the pictures online of you arriving on adam’s arm, and you two looked pretty cozy. So, just how did that happen, sally?

Sally: It was a completely innocent, last-minute thing.

Chloe: Nothing with adam is ever innocent. And after all the warnings i gave you, you just had to play with fire. So, how far did it go?

Sally: Things did heat up a little bit between us, but it was just a little.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Okay, there is no such thing as little heat. It’s either hot or it’s not. So, what happened?

Sally: It — it was an impulsive kiss, but it didn’t go any farther than that.

Chloe: Well [Sighs] At least you had the sense to slam on the brakes.

Sally: Actually, I was the one who initiated the kiss. It was adam who hit the brakes so hard and so fast I almost got whiplash. He — he’s the one that thought it was a mistake. He said that he was toxic.

Chloe: So, how many people have to tell you that before you finally hear it? Didn’t hearing it from the horse’s mouth at least give you pause?

Sally: Yeah, but isn’t acknowledging that he has a problem a sign of growth?

Chloe: Like a fungus or a wart?

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. I just don’t understand how a woman who has such good taste in clothes has such bad taste in men. Adam is uniquely diabolical. No matter how strong or savvy you think you are, he will find a way to wreck you.

Sally: Doesn’t the fact that I can hold my own against phyllis give you any sort of confidence that I can handle difficult people?

Chloe: Why do you want to be in a relationship with a difficult person? Speaking from experience, being in a healthy relationship is like playing everything on easy mode.

Sally: That just sounds a little boring. No offense.

Chloe: Clearly, you’re not gonna take my advice on this, and I obviously can’t stop you from pursuing him, so let me just leave you with one last word of warning.

Sally: More warnings?

Chloe: His and chelsea’s son, connor — he hasn’t had the easiest life, and that poor little boy still thinks that his parents are in a relationship. It is a very difficult situation. So, whatever connection you think that you might have with adam, it is going to get a lot messier before it gets easier.

Nate: Why give me this check if it’s not for me?

Ashland: Victoria told me that her mother volunteered to help you fund-raise for a new wing at the hospital. Consider this half a wing.

Nate: Wow. Uh… I appreciate your generosity, but, uh… I hope you don’t think I was after anything. I treated you the way I would treat anyone I saw in trouble.

Ashland: No, I don’t doubt that for a second. It still doesn’t change my desire to repay your kindness.

Nate: Well, since you’re determined to give this to me, let me at least fill you in on exactly where this money would be going. I would love to give you a proper pitch on how we would use this new wing and why the hospital needs it.

Ashland: Oh, that’s fine. Uh, but let’s not make it too proper.

Nate: Okay. What do you suggest?

Ashland: Why don’t we discuss it over a meal or drinks? I’ll bring victoria, and i believe she tells me that you’re seeing someone?

Nate: Yes. My girlfriend, elena.

Ashland: Oh, good. Well, let’s bring her, too. And when we’re done with the shop talk, we can talk about anything and everything non-medical.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I appreciate your sincerity and generosity. Your contribution can help save a lot of lives. Well, uh, on that note, I have got to run, but, uh, we will be in touch.

Ashland: Look forward to it.

Nate: Victoria. Good to see you. I, um, guess we will be seeing more of each other real soon.

Victoria: I look forward to it. You two seem to have really bonded since he helped you out the other day.

Ashland: He is quite an impressive person. And I hope you don’t mind that i included you in dinner plans with nate and his girlfriend.

Victoria: No, of course not. That’s a lovely idea.

Ashland: Are you okay? You seem distracted.

Victoria: Uh…I had a run-in with billy. It just seems that no matter what I say, he’s bound and determined to find something damning in your past. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: Thank you. The best part is just being able to give jobs to some of the women that I was in prison with, you know? And seeing them turn their lives around like that, I just — I feel really grateful that I’m able to be a part of that.

Elena: Lily, that is so amazing. And I can’t even imagine how difficult that time must have been for you.

Lily: Yeah, it was really, really hard. But the hardest part was just not having my family around. I just missed them so much.

Elena: Yeah, but look at you now. You put all of that behind you, and you fought your way back.

Lily: Yeah. Now my family is pulled together again, you know? And I try to see mattie and charlie as much as I can. And hopefully they’ll come back to genoa city. I mean, a mother can hope.

Elena: [ Laughs ] That would be great.

Lily: Yeah. Now devon and nate have made peace, which is great.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I still feel pretty guilty about my part in all of that.

Lily: No. Look, you also played a huge role in bringing them back together again.

Elena: [ Sighs ] That’s kind of you to say, but —

Lily: No. Hey, listen. I’m not just saying that. I am really, really happy that you’re a part of our family.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. It’s really nice to know that you feel that way about me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: And now we have a new baby in the family. Well, sort of.

Lily: I know. My god. It’s so weird. It’s like devon’s a dad, but he’s not.

Elena: I know. And is it wrong to say congratulations even though it kind of feels right?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I mean, having gone through the surrogacy thing myself, I just really believe that everything’s gonna work out just fine.

Ashley: Look at you. You are so precious. You’re such a beautiful boy.

Devon: You know, mariah really does deserve all the credit for keeping him safe, with everything she went through.

Nina: Yeah. Mariah, I hope you know how grateful we all are to you.

Ashley: So grateful. And I’m so sorry that you had to endure all that. I still can’t comprehend it, i mean, that the ben rayburn i knew was capable of doing something like that.

Sharon: Well, we were all shocked.

Nina: How did you get through it? I mean, you must have been going crazy.

Mariah: Uh, I was, um… yeah, I was frightened, um, confused. I was really lonely, too.

Ashley: I can’t imagine. Do you have any idea why he held you captive like that?

Mariah: No, I… I mean, I-I didn’t — I —

Tessa: Hey, uh, everybody, i think that mariah could use some fresh air. She might be feeling a little claustrophobic after being locked away for so long.

Abby: That’s a great idea, tessa.

Mariah: Thanks. Okay.

Devon: See ya.

Nina: It takes an incredible amount of courage to go through an ordeal like that.

Ashley: I know. She’s a very strong woman. I have a lot of respect for how she’s handling all this.

Sharon: Well, I’m really proud of her. But we can’t disregard the severity of what she’s been through.

Billy: The more I questioned victoria, the more upset she got, until she stormed out.

Nick: Billy, you know my sister. She does not like to be challenged.

Billy: I think she’s more worried about ashland than she wants to admit. And I do know her. When she gets defensive like that, it’s usually because she’s concerned.

Nick: Or maybe she’s just annoyed at your inability to let her live her own life.

Billy: Nick, think about it for a second. She had no answer to how ashland got the money to buy those two news organizations. It was his first deal in a very young career, okay? And it was a lot of money.

Nick: Maybe his mentor privately financed the whole investment to breathe life into her dead husband’s holdings. It could be something as simple as that.

Billy: Yeah, like a favor, off the books, on her deathbed. Sounds super simple.

Nick: I don’t want to argue about this with you, alright? Now, I will say this. I’d be a lot more inclined to go down this path with you if you had something more than suspicions, but you got nothing except this deep desire to find something damning about this man that my sister’s currently with.

Billy: Hold on a second. I have said this before, and I’ll say it again. This is not about jealousy or possessiveness. This is about protecting my children.

Nick: And victoria — because you think she needs your protection.

Billy: Victoria can take on ashland locke with two hands tied behind her back any given day, as long as she has the facts.

Nick: How do you know she doesn’t already?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, maybe she’s not asking these big questions because of this colossal merger that’s on her mind. Or maybe it’s because of her fiancé’s fatal illness. Either way, it’s possible, isn’t it? Tell me I’m wrong.

Victor: You’re always wrong, billy boy. Besides, this is none of your business.

Seeing blood when you brush or floss can be a sign of early gum damage.

Sally: Well, surprise, surprise. We meet again.

Adam: I was, uh — I was just meeting with a huge advertiser. Hope you don’t think that I’m stalking you.

Sally: Didn’t even occur to me. I just came in here to change in the gym ’cause it’s a lot closer than going all the way home. Plus, I will take any opportunity to tick phyllis off. She just has to deal with my presence. You know, if you have a minute, there’s something that I would like to address.

Adam: Alright. Is there an issue at the office?

Sally: Well, in a way, it is about work because this job is very important to me and I want to get this right.

Adam: Okay.

Sally: I’ve been thinking that I might like to hit the reset button on where things stand between us. I think we should go back to the way things were before that kiss.

Billy: Of course you’re gonna try and discredit me, but i think, on this one, we’re on the same page.

Victor: Oh, yeah? I doubt that.

Billy: Of course you would.

Victor: By the way, billy boy, I hear from one of my newman media employees that you were sneaking around my private suite at the grand phoenix last night. Don’t do it again, alright?

Billy: You think about what i said.

Nick: You didn’t want billy to know that I was the one who told you about the break-in.

Victor: No. No…because I need information from his sources. I don’t want to cut that off, okay?

Nick: Billy may not seem trustworthy, dad, but I know he’ll do everything he can to prevent ashland from hurting victoria. We all will.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] Hope so.

Nick: Well, so far, he seems very open to keeping me in the loop.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Okay. Good. You know, I can’t stand that guy. And I am dying to blow his damn company out of the water. But we cannot afford to lose access to the information that he will give us about ashland locke.

Nick: So far, his investigators haven’t turned up anything that yours didn’T. Everyone wants to know how ashland came into this sudden windfall that put him in the game in the first place, but nobody knows the answer to that mystery yet.

Victor: So, he hasn’t told you anything new? Hmm. Alright. Then I will wait to destroy his company until I find out what i want to know about ashland locke.

Ashland: You know, I really want to see this new surgical wing that dr. Hastings wants to finance come to fruition.

Victoria: You know, it’s really very generous of you. I’m sure your donation is gonna be much appreciated. Memorial hospital has helped so many people in my family.

Ashland: I can imagine. I’ve been very impressed with the treatment I’ve received so far, and I just really would like to give back.

Victoria: I just wish everyone could see this side of you.

Ashland: Well, I don’t care what others think. I only care about what you see in me.

Victoria: I know, but if billy knew about this, he might — he might think of you differently. You know, he still hasn’t called off those reporters. Just today, he was questioning me about how you bought those new stations to start your career.

Ashland: Well, I already told you about that.

Victoria: Yes, but is there anything from that time that you haven’t told me, something that maybe billy might dig up and try to use against you?

Tessa: I don’t want to pressure you, but you were just so quiet in the car.

Mariah: This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I feel conflicted about everything. And I cannot fight this fear that I feel in the pit of my stomach.

Tessa: But you and dominic are safe now. Try to hold on to that.

Mariah: I know. I just… tessa, I can’t seem to let go. This was supposed to be easy. I was supposed to be an incubator, a carrier, and it was gonna be simple to just walk away.

Tessa: But after everything that’s happened, of course it’s not.

Mariah: Yeah. You know, maybe if I hadn’t been locked in that room with bowie — sorry, dominic — growing inside me… fighting to survive, I — I wouldn’t have this connection. But I was. And I do.

Tessa: That’s only natural.

Mariah: Tessa, I was literally his only lifeline. And he was mine. We needed each other to survive. And I think dominic feels that, too.

Abby: My little dominic.

[ Chuckles ] You feel so perfect in my arms. I promise I am always gonna protect you and keep you safe. No one is ever gonna take you from me again.

Adam: I can only assume that chloe had something to do with your sudden change of heart. She’s definitely no fan of mine.

Sally: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. She has warned me repeatedly about you, and I’ve always taken it with a grain of salt… till today.

Adam: Oh. Well, what did she say that changed your mind?

Sally: She made me aware of the potentially precarious position you’re in with your ex because of your son, and I just would not want to do anything to hurt your little boy.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Connor always comes first with me. There’s no question about that. And that was a big part of why i put the brakes on anything that was happening between us. When I said it would be a big mistake, I was thinking about my son and, you know, how that could affect him.

Sally: I had a feeling that you might say that. So, I think the safest and most uncomplicated path would be my reset-button idea.

Adam: Well, I can’t disagree with you about that. So I guess that means that, uh, the dinner invitation is off the table.

Sally: Well, I mean, not necessarily. We could always make it a working dinner. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Adam: Um… right. Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Mm-hmm. Oh, I’m sorry. I got to take this. It’s chelsea.

[ Clears throat ]

Sally: Yeah, of —

Adam: Hello?

Sally: Of course.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: Are you with me on this?

Nick: Playing the double agent, finding out everything billy knows, and reporting back to you?

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nick: I’m in.

Victor: You know how important it is to find out everything about ashland locke. There’s something about him i don’t trust. And I want to get all that information that’s pertinent before he marries your sister, before the wedding, if there is a wedding.

Victoria: You can be completely honest with me.

Ashland: I don’t doubt that.

Victoria: I grew up the daughter of victor newman. There’s nothing that you can say that’s gonna shock me. I hope you know you can trust me with anything.

Ashland: And I do. I trust you with my life.

Victoria: I’m about to become your wife and your business partner. We can’t have any secrets between us.

Ashland: There’s nothing to worry about. I have been ruthless, but I have never broken the law. And I defy billy or anyone else to prove otherwise.
